America 1881: They Call Me Legend

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

When Roberto heard this, he turned his head, his eyes staring like brass bells.

"What do you mean?"

"Our defense is very solid. Those soldiers outside the city are just surrounding them, and their desire to attack is not strong!"

The adjutant said slowly.

"Even if they really attack, they won't be able to get in for a while. We can definitely stand by and wait for help! The Yankees don't really plan to use giant cannons to raze this place to the ground!"

Roberto thought for a while, and suddenly felt that what his adjutant said made some 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 two steps back and forth, then turned around again, and stroked his beard:
"Then what if they really call in?"

"Surrender." The adjutant replied without thinking.

This is his true inner thought.

In his heart, the adjutant did not think Spain could win the war.

Even if they fled to Guantanamo, they would eventually surrender.

What is the difference between late surrender and early surrender?

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

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

The puppet army officers are actually thinking more about themselves.

These Spaniards will make peace with the Yankees at that time, and they can leave with a pat on the ass.

It's really over for me.

Once the lackeys and traitors are liquidated, it is really possible to be killed alive.

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

The tiger is gone, so the fox has to be skinned and cramp?
Roberto also gasped suddenly.

This man is right!I and the rebel army have a deep hatred, and I must not sit still. I must rush out before seeing the blocking army in the north, and reach Guantanamo, maybe there is a chance of survival!
However, Roberto's face began to become uncertain.

He suddenly opened his mouth and reprimanded the puppet officer in front of everyone:
"Gomez! Your thinking is wrong! Do you have no confidence in the defense of our Spanish army? No matter what, we must play the momentum of the Spanish Empire!"

The puppet army officer named "Gomez" froze for a moment.

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

The meeting was over soon.

Lieutenant Xinggao
Caire was busy defending.

His point of view is that only when you play your own value and surrender can you have the capital to negotiate.

The officers of the puppet army were devastated, knowing that these Spaniards could not count on them, and began to find ways to make a living by themselves.

And Roberto, the supreme commander in the city, also looked like he was about to fight a blocking battle.

He kept going to the front 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 in white Spanish uniforms:
"My brave soldiers! You are defending the glory of the empire! You are also defending the glory that belongs to soldiers. Every inch of 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 officers numbly.

They were tricked to come here from the mainland, but half of the "criminal American soldiers" were not shot, but were bombarded every day by cannons.

It's boring, it's really boring.

The adjutant on the side didn't say anything.

He felt the support of his superior, and at the same time admired his superior's language skills.

Not a word of surrender was mentioned.

As an officer, you must not easily expose your strategic intentions.

The matter of surrender can only be said in private, even if you really think so in your heart, you can't say it directly.

Otherwise, it would be a devastating blow to morale.

At that time, who will play defense seriously?
After wandering around from the front line, Roberto made another appearance in front of the residents of the city that he wanted to fight the Americans.

"We have solid fortifications and heavy machine guns! We can let those ignorant Americans taste the taste of bullets!"

No one doubts that a tragic siege battle will take place here.

However, they were all wrong.

On the morning when Chen Jianqiu gave the order to attack, Roberto quietly slipped out of Caimanera City from the north with a personal guard of less than 100 people.

beat?Beat an egg!Shou?Keep a fart!
Can you keep him in your mind?
In private, he pulled out the information provided to him from under a pile of documents, and then looked at it carefully.

He began to understand how the cities in southern Cuba had been lost.

The tactics have changed too much, and the firepower is too terrible, so terrible that people can't understand why there is such an existence in this era.

Of course, he also learned how Chen Jianqiu handled the captives.

If they stayed in Guantanamo until the end of the war, the Yankees would treat them humanely; but if they were defeated by Chen Jianqiu and fell into the hands of the rebels, life would be worse than death!
The best defensive soldiers can drag on for a while, until Chen Jianqiu's troops can't catch up with him.

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

Li Sifu has been waiting here for two days, but he has not waited for the evacuated Spanish troops.

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

Li Sifu was a little hesitant to do it.

With my own thousand people, cleaning up these one hundred people really feels like shooting mosquitoes with cannons.

But he figured it out soon.

There is no good end to picking and choosing, as much as you play.

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

The course of the fight was lackluster.

More than 100 soldiers, together with Roberto, were beaten into a sieve.

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

A hundred people fell into the ambush circle prepared for thousands of people, and the end was naturally tragic.

This directly led to Li Sifu not catching a single person alive.

He found Roberto's body.

The ex-commander of the former city of Caimanera was shot in the stomach by a bullet and died horribly.

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

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

Chen Jianqiu's big horn started to play a role again.

"Big news! Big news! Kaimanera City Command closed down! 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 line for a coward like Roberto!"

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

If there were no contradictions among them, Spain would not engage in civil wars and revolutions 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 a few hours, and they were covered by the firepower from the opposite side, and they were so suppressed that they couldn't lift their heads.

The soldiers quickly understood that they had been betrayed.

The adjutant felt that there was no need to go through the motions, so it was better to vote directly according to the original plan.

Anyway, I can't beat it.

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

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

Chen Jianqiu captured Kaimanera almost without bloodshed.

The residents of the city saw that the Chinese troops entered the city, and their hearts fell in the air.

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

Individuals who violated discipline were directly dealt with by the Disciplinary Committee.

Chen Jianqiu has always been strict in this regard. He believes that it is difficult to talk about combat effectiveness in an undisciplined army.

After capturing Kaimanera, Chen Jianqiu was not in a hurry to advance to Guantanamo.

Despite the command's order that way.

Chen Jianqiu still didn't care about these orders.

He has his purpose and rhythm.

Currently in southern Cuba, his strength is the strongest, and Chen Jianqiu has the final say on how to fight.

Still the same sentence, if your command has the ability, you can come anyway, and the Second Volunteer Cavalry Brigade can give up the main attack position.

Chen Jianqiu's next step was to look back.

He was going to rescue those Ma Runs who were about to be trapped in the McCulla camp first.

It's not that Chen Jianqiu is "out of kindness", but that he doesn't want to take the risk of being attacked. In addition, Ma Run should be released and serve as the next bait or something.

The more than 2000 Spanish soldiers in the jungle have to be dealt with.

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

They are familiar with the terrain.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Jianqiu has been reluctant to enter the jungle to pay the Spaniards.

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

Although it is said that one should not be afraid of death in a war, it is too worthless to sacrifice in unnecessary places.

So, in his command room, Chen Jianqiu looked at the map again. (end of this chapter)
