If he means the US 304 Infantry Regiment, then that was part of the US 76 Infantry Division.
"Henry" refers to Henry Fleming, the main character in the novel "Red Badge of Courage". I don't think we know what unit he was in. Remember this book is fiction. It is reported that the author, Stephen Crane, interviewed veterans of the 124 New York Volunteer Regiment to assist with writing of his book.
a battery
reload his gun
there were other battles still going on around him
the sounds were so big and so impressive that he felt he should see it
He backs away
he found a road and fell in with a crowd of wounded men
He throws a pinecone at it.
He wanted to see who was winning.
he could fight with another regiment
shrewd
he felt that when soldiers marched there should be a fight at the end of it .
"After he calmed down" could substitute for the phrase "after the fever had left his veins."
The battle would be his first and last.
He was feeling guilty about fleeing.
