America 1881: Legend of the West

"Sir, I don't think it's a good idea to break out to the north." The adjutant on the other side put forward a different view for the first time, "I think you are too anxious."

Roberto turned his head when he heard this, his eyes as wide as bells.

"What do you mean?"

"Our defense is very strong. The soldiers outside the city are just surrounding us and have no strong desire to attack!"

The adjutant said slowly.

"Even if they really attack, they won't be able to get in for a while. We can definitely stand firm and wait for reinforcements! The Americans are not really planning to use giant cannons to raze this place to the ground!"

Roberto thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that what his adjutant said made sense.

I seemed to be a little too anxious. When I heard that I was surrounded on three sides, I panicked and thought about how to run away.

He took a few steps back and forth, then turned around again and touched his beard:

"Then what if they really come in?"

"Surrender." The adjutant replied without hesitation.

This is his true inner thought.

The adjutant honestly did not believe that Spain could win the war.

Even if you escape to Guantanamo, you will ultimately surrender.

What difference does it make if you surrender late or if you surrender early? It doesn't matter what you mean.

"Sir! Don't listen to him!" Another puppet army officer said to Roberto anxiously.

The officer came close to his ear and whispered: "It would be fine if there were all American troops outside, but it is said that there are also local Cuban rebels mixed in. If we fall into the hands of those rebels."

The puppet army officers actually think more about themselves.

When the time comes, these Spaniards can make peace with the Americans, pat their butts, and leave.

That would really be the end of it for me.

Once the lackeys and traitors are liquidated, they may be killed alive.

Because when it comes to harming our own people, these people are often at the forefront. They pretend to be powerful and are more ruthless than anyone else.

The tiger is gone, but the fox still has to be skinned and cramped?

Roberto also took a deep breath.

What this person said makes sense! The feud between me and the rebels is as deep as the sea, and I must not sit back and wait for death. I must rush out before seeing the blockade troops in the north and reach Guantanamo, maybe there is a chance of survival!

However, Roberto's face began to look uncertain.

He suddenly opened his mouth and rebuked the puppet army officer in front of everyone:

"Gomez! Your idea is wrong! Don't you have confidence in the defense of our Spanish army? No matter what, we must display the momentum of the Spanish Empire!"

The puppet army officer named "Gomez" was stunned for a moment.

He thought he had figured out what Robert was thinking, but it seemed like he still hit a snag.

The meeting ended quickly.

The adjutant is happy

He happily went to work on defense.

His point of view is that only by showing your own value and surrendering can you have the capital to negotiate.

The puppet army officers were frustrated and knew that these Spaniards had no hope, so they began to think of ways to make a living on their own.

As the top commander in the city, Roberto also looked like he was going to fight a good blocking battle.

He constantly went to the front line to inspect the fortifications, and at the same time, he stood on a makeshift platform made of boxes and gave a speech to the soldiers wearing white Spanish military uniforms:

"My brave warriors! You are guarding the glory of the empire! You are also guarding the glory that belongs to the warriors. Every inch of the land under your feet belongs to Spain!"

"Fight! Like your predecessors, you will be remembered by everyone in the motherland!"

The young Spanish soldiers standing under the trench basically looked at their commanders with numb faces.

They were tricked into coming here from the mainland, but they didn't hit even half of the "criminal American soldiers". Instead, they were blown away by cannons every day.

It's boring, it's really boring.

The adjutant beside him said nothing.

He felt supported by his superior and admired his superior's language skills.

Not even a word of surrender was mentioned.

Leaders must not reveal their strategic intentions easily.

You can only talk about surrender in private. Even if you really think so in your heart, you can't say it directly.

Otherwise, it will be a devastating blow to morale.

At that time, who will play defense seriously?

After walking around the front line, Roberto made another show of wanting to fight with the Americans in front of the residents of the city.

"We have strong fortifications and heavy machine guns! We can give those Americans who don't know the heights of the sky a taste of bullets!"

No one doubts that a brutal siege will take place here.

However, they were all wrong.

On the morning when Chen Jianqiu issued the order to attack, Roberto quietly slipped out of the city of Caimanera from the north with his personal guard of less than a hundred people.

beat? Break an egg! Shou? Guard your ass!

Can you keep the secret in his mind?

Privately, he pulled out the information provided to him by the intelligence agency from under a pile of documents, and then looked at it carefully.

He began to understand how those cities in southern Cuba were lost.

The tactics have changed too much, and the firepower is really terrible. It's so terrible that people can't understand why such a thing exists in this era.

Of course, he also learned how Chen Jianqiu dealt with prisoners.

If they stay in Guantanamo until the end of the war, the Yankees will probably treat them humanely. But if they lose to Chen Jianqiu and fall into the hands of the rebels, it will really be worse than death!

The best defensive soldiers can hold off for a while until Chen Jianqiu's troops cannot catch up with him.

Soon, Roberto and his soldiers plunged into the encirclement set by Li Sifu.

Li Sifu has been waiting here for two days, but has not yet waited for the Spanish troops to evacuate.

Now I finally saw Spanish soldiers in white uniforms, but there were so few.

Li Sifu was a little hesitant to take action.

With a thousand people of my own, dealing with a hundred people is like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon.

But he soon figured it out.

Picking and choosing will never end well, as long as you hit, you will get what you want.

So after Roberto's troops all entered the ambush circle, Li Sifu asked one or two hundred people to pinch them head and tail to complete the encirclement, and then gave the order to open fire.

The combat was lackluster.

More than a hundred soldiers, together with Roberto, were beaten into a sieve.

These people were just like the helpless Ma Run of the Marine Corps in the jungle, holding their guns helplessly and watching the bullets fired from the jungle.

One hundred people fell into an ambush prepared for thousands of people, and the end was tragic.

This directly resulted in Li Sifu not catching anyone alive.

He found Roberto's body.

The former commander of Caimanera City was shot in the abdomen by a hail of bullets and died completely.

A few hours later, the body was sent to Chen Jianqiu's command camp in the south of the city.

A few hours later, the body was hoisted up and appeared on the front line of the attack.

Chen Jianqiu's big speaker began to work again.

"Big news! Big news! The Caimanera City Headquarters has collapsed! Commander Roberto ran away with his sister-in-law!"

"Brave Spanish warriors! You have been betrayed!"

"Your honor should not be tarnished by shameless people! Like us, many of you come from poor families, and you should not fill in the lines for cowards like Roberto!"

Chen Jianqiu was not worried at all that his behavior would anger the Spaniards.

If there were no conflicts within them, Spain would not engage in civil war and revolution every day!

Sure enough, after seeing Roberto's body, all the Spanish soldiers, including the adjutant, were dumbfounded.

They had just exchanged fire with Chen Jianqiu's troops for several hours, and their faces were covered by the firepower from the opposite side, and they were suppressed to the point where they could not even raise their heads.

The soldiers quickly understood that they had been betrayed.

The adjutant felt that there was no need to go through the motions anymore, so he might as well just vote according to the original plan.

Can't beat it anyway.

Under his leadership, the Spanish soldiers who had no fighting will directly waved the white flag, put down their weapons and walked out of the fortifications.

Those who still wanted to resist were tied up directly by the adjutant's order.

Chen Jianqiu captured the city of Caimanera almost without a fight.

When the residents of the city saw that it was Chinese troops entering the city, their hearts suddenly dropped.

These Chinese soldiers have a very good reputation in Cuba, are highly disciplined, and almost never harass the residents.

Individual disciplinary violations will be dealt with directly by the disciplinary committee.

Chen Jianqiu has always been strict in this regard. He believes that it is difficult for an army without discipline to talk about combat effectiveness.

After capturing the city of Caimanera, Chen Jianqiu was not in a hurry to advance to Guantánamo.

Despite the command's orders.

Chen Jianqiu still didn't take these orders seriously.

He has his purpose and his rhythm.

Currently, he is the strongest in southern Cuba. He, Chen Jianqiu, has the final say on how to fight.

Again, if your headquarters has the ability, you can come and the Second Volunteer Cavalry Brigade can give up the main attack position.

Chen Jianqiu's next step is to look back.

He was going to rescue the Maruns who were about to die in McCalla Camp.

This is not because Chen Jianqiu is "out of kindness", but because he doesn't want to take the risk of being attacked from both sides. In addition, Ma Run should be freed to serve as the next bait or something.

The more than 2,000 Spanish soldiers in the jungle need to be dealt with.

Many of these soldiers are experienced veterans, and their combat effectiveness is not the same as those who stayed in Caimanera City.

They know the terrain well.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Jianqiu has been reluctant to enter the jungle to clear out these Spanish people.

If you fight hard, the advantage of firepower is not obvious in the jungle. If you fight hand-to-hand, the casualties will be too high.

Although it is said that you should not be afraid of dying in a war, it is not worth it to sacrifice people in unnecessary places.

So, in his command room, Chen Jianqiu looked at the map again.
