America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 578
Kaimanera is a beautiful place.

But it's really just a quiet town in the Caribbean.

The Spaniards insisted on transforming it as if it were on the Mediterranean Sea.

White walls, clay bricks, red tiles.

Outside the city is the sparkling sea.

The reason why it is called a city is because it is located at the throat of the inner and outer bays of Guantanamo Bay.

The Spaniards built several forts and thick city defenses here to guard it.

But one morning.

When the huge silhouette of the USS Texas battleship appeared in the sight of the watchtower sentry.

He was sure that this was not his own warship.

Because he had seen the Stars and Stripes on the ship through the telescope.

The Spaniards once again remembered the fear of being dominated by cannons.

In addition to the battleship USS Texas, several cruisers in the North Pacific Fleet, the USS Marblehead and the USS Yankee, also appeared at sea level in turn.

More than 20 naval guns are pointing in the direction of the fort under the control of the gunner.

"Enemy attack! The Americans are coming!" shouted the sentinel in the most frightened voice of his life.

With this sound, the fort suddenly exploded.

Carry the ammunition box, calibrate the calibration, and carry the cannonball.

But they were obviously late.

The cannons of the opposing fleet began to roar.

The sharp whistling sound pierced the sky like the scream of death.

"boom!"

The fort was hit.

Those few old cannons were thrown out of place in an instant.

The buildings below were blown to pieces, and the rubble flew all over the sky.

The fort and the people on the fort were all reduced to dust.

The effect of successive salvos from the fleet was devastating.

The defense was quickly disintegrated, and all the forts on the shore had lost their defensive capabilities.

The whole city of Kaimanera seemed to be shaking.

The residents of the city began to panic.

God knows whether those shells flying from the sea are aimed at those fortifications or at themselves.

Who knows if a cannonball will land on the roof of your house while you are sleeping?
And in the south of Kaimanera, Chen Jianqiu, who led a large army to approach the city, also heard the gunfire of the fleet from the east.

"The navy looks much more reliable than the army."

In the barracks, beside Chen Jianqiu, Li Sifu muttered.

Chen Jianqiu didn't speak, but kept looking at the map hanging behind him.

This is a map of the city of Kaimanera drawn up by the Frontier Detective Agency.

To the east of the city is the sea.

Chen Jianqiu's team of 1 people was divided into two parts.

One part was led by him personally, blocking the south of the city; the other part was led by Xu Ajiu, blocking the way to the west.

To the east is the fleet.

To the north, is a road leading to Guantanamo.

The road needs to pass through a dense jungle.

Chen Jianqiu didn't seem to have any intention of blocking this road.

"The Spanish soldiers who broke through the siege captured yesterday, did you ask anything?"

With his hands behind his back, Chen Jianqiu asked while looking at the map.

"Oh, they said they were going to the south to inform Rodriguez, who was still besieging the McCulla Marine Corps, to come back for help." Li Sifu scratched his head.

"Do you think he will come back?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"Rodriguez will not receive this news!" Li Sifu said confidently, "No one can break through our blockade."

"What I mean is, if Rodriguez finds that he has lost contact with Caimanera, or finds that the city is besieged by us, will he come back?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head and looked at Li Sifu.

Li Sifu was taken aback.

This time, he didn't rush to answer, but thought carefully before answering slowly:
"No, he was tricked by us last time, so he probably wouldn't come here rashly. If I were him, I would rather hide in the jungle and fight guerrillas than come back and be beaten at the risk of being attacked."

Chen Jianqiu nodded, and continued to look at the map.

"Boss, when are we going to attack the city?" Li Sifu couldn't help asking after watching for a while.

"No rush." ​​Chen Jianqiu replied slowly.

"I'm afraid the navy and the headquarters will be in a hurry." Li Sifu glanced at the order on the telegram and whispered.

"If they are in a hurry, let them come by themselves." Chen Jianqiu continued to lean forward, draw on the map with a pen, and said casually, "Oh, I almost forgot, their own troops are still blocked Where's McCalla's beachhead?"

Li Sifu knew that his boss had always had his own ideas and means.

Strictly speaking, their army listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, but so far they have not been slandered by others.

Firstly, no one paid attention to their record, and secondly, Chen Jianqiu was always in control.

Moreover, I have been with the boss for a long time, and he knows that there are many things that I want him to know, I will let him know, and I don't want him to know, I can't ask.

So, Li Sifu stood quietly, not speaking.

After a while, Chen Jianqiu finally looked away from the map.

He turned his head to look at Li Sifu who was standing aside, and suddenly smiled:

"Didn't you always complain that I let Xu Ajiu lead the team, but didn't give you a chance?"

"How dare I?" Li Sifu muttered in a low voice.

"Huh?" Chen Jianqiu's ears seemed to be very good.

"Report to the boss, I obey the boss's arrangement!" Li Sifu immediately stood up straight and said.

Chen Jianqiu picked up a pen and drew a circle on the road north of the city:

"You take 1000 people, equipped with heavy machine guns, and lie in ambush on both sides of this road."

He exhorted,

"If the Spaniards pass by this road, let the ones in front pass by, and wait until everyone enters the ambush circle before attacking. The main goal is to kill and injure the living forces, as many as they can kill!"

Li Sifu's eyes lit up.

No wonder the boss didn't choose to block in the north direction.

Surrounded by three ques and one.

Chen Jianqiu not only wanted to take down the city of Caimanera, but also beat the Spaniards to death!
On this side, Chen Jianqiu in the camp in the south of the city gave orders to his capable generals.

On the other side, in Kaimanera, Colonel Roberto was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He paced back and forth in his mansion.

He was dressed in a white Spanish military uniform, with a gloomy face, and even two hairs stood up on the hair that usually fell back regularly.

"Sir, what should we do now?" An adjutant next to him asked without losing the opportunity.

When Roberto heard it, he immediately erupted like a volcanic eruption:

"What to do? You ask me what to do? How do I know what to do?"

"All the telegraph lines that we can communicate with the outside world have been cut off! What do you think I should do?"

"Can any of you tell me where these Chinese soldiers all over the mountains come from? Huh? Why have I never heard of them?"

"Intelligence officer! Have you always patronized Cuban women?"

Roberto roared, and at the same time scanned his men, his eyes were very scary.

"These people have swept through the nearby rural areas a few weeks ago. The reports have been placed on your desk, and you have put them all at the bottom." The intelligence officer's voice was so low that only he could hear it.

"Didn't we send people to the north and south? No matter if the people in Guantanamo or Rodriguez receive the news, they will come to support us!" Another adjutant next to him persuaded.

Hearing what his subordinates said, Roberto became even more angry:

"Can you use your pig brains to think about it! When will the Guantanamo people come back after receiving the news?"

He now regrets giving Rodriguez a part of the defenders in the city.

Now he can only hope that he can quickly come to support after receiving the information.

However, the information disappeared like a stone, without any reply.

So, there is only one choice left.

Break out from the north.
