Three days later, the vigorous competition in the army had ended, and the reorganization of various units had been completed.

While the Chinese Independence Army (CIA) was speeding up its training during the brief lull, Barangca's Peruvian army was planning to take the initiative to suppress the Chinese uprising.

"General Salva, according to the surviving soldiers' reports, the Patibilka Valley has been occupied by all the Chinese rioters, and all the Chinese workers in the mine have been released by them, and the total number of Chinese workers now reaches more than 60,000."

Passat, chief of staff of the Balangka garrison, briefed Salva, commander of the garrison, on the basic situation of the Chinese workers.

"The Patibilka Valley is an important saltpeter producing area in our country, and every day that it is occupied by the rebels will cause huge losses to our country, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese workers' rebellion not long ago and the formation of combat effectiveness to launch a thunderous blow against them, and strive to recover it before the central government gets the news of the loss of Patibilka, so as to minimize the losses." Salva said with a small wooden stick, pointing to the valley of Patibilka on the sand table.

"I agree with the general's decision, if we can't recover Patibilka as soon as possible, the politicians in the capital will definitely blame us, and then send other troops to defend Balangka and take the saltpeter source out of our hands."

The local forces in Peru have their own spheres of influence, and the interests of the troops represented by Salva and Passat are mainly in the Patibilka Valley, and many officers in the army have shares in the saltpeter mines, and Salva and Passat occupy the majority of interests, so they will be so nervous after the Chinese workers occupy the saltpeter production area.

"Commander, how many troops do we use to attack the Chinese workers?" Passat asked.

"The main force of the whole army was dispatched, leaving a thousand men to defend the city." Salva looked down for a moment and said,

"Commander, isn't it too little to leave a thousand people, in case the Chinese workers in the city rebel, it will be troublesome."

"It's okay, before the army leaves, it's okay to drive all the Chinese workers together and detain them." Salva said disapprehantly.

Balangka garrisoned 6,000 men, and Salva wanted to send 5,000 men to quell the rebellion, which could not be prepared for a while, and after some discussion, the two men decided to set out the morning after tomorrow.

Balangka was Li Mingyuan's key surveillance watch, and it was impossible for the Peruvians to hide the large-scale movement of troops in the city from the investigators of the Chinese Independence Army in the city.

"Everyone, the Balangka garrison is going to take the initiative to attack us, what do you say?" Li Mingyuan handed the information to the people sitting in the command hall.

"Shizi, the Peruvians are out of the turtle shell, and it will be much easier for us to annihilate them."

After reading the information, Chen Guozhu said.

"Uncle Chen is right, the Peruvians despise us, thinking that they want to wipe us all out with a few thousand people, and they think too highly of themselves." Li Mingyuan sneered.

"Shizi, you give an order, Lao Luo is willing to be the vanguard of the whole army and fight with Peru first." Luo Linshan was sincere and excited.

"Shizi, hand over the pioneer task to the first division, and the little cubs under my command are all itching." Chen Guozhu scrambled to speak.

"You don't have to fight, the lion fights the rabbit, you still use all your strength, this time in the face of the Peruvian army, I am ready to bet the whole army on it, fight a war of annihilation, and make the Peruvians feel distressed."

After Li Mingyuan finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said, "In this battle, I am going to fight an ambush battle,"

Li Mingyuan took out a map of southern Peru and pointed to the Patibilka Valley, "Look, there is a long and narrow road seventy miles away from Balangca, and this path is the closest road to the Patibilka Valley. ”

Li Mingyuan removed his hand from the map, giving the people in the hall a time to think.

"Shizi, I agree to set up an ambush on this path." Liu Pu spoke first.

A few days ago, Li Mingyuan and he personally inspected the terrain around the Patibilka Valley.

I had some impressions of the mountain road in ambush, so I first supported Li Mingyuan's proposal.

"I agree." After digesting the information in Li Mingyuan's words, other high-ranking members of the Chinese Independence Army expressed their support one after another.

"Shizi, our broadsword team will also participate in this battle."

Li Mingyuan gave orders to all units to fight, but he did not mention the big sword team.

So Wu Feipeng was very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements for the big knife team, you go down first, and Zhao Yongzeng will tell you the specific things." Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

After the battle plan was assigned, the Chinese Independence Army top brass left the hall.

"Chief Zhao, wait for me." Wu Feipeng shouted at Zhao Yongzeng outside the hall.

"What is Captain Wu looking for me?" Zhao Yongzeng stopped and said.

"The prince said that the Broadsword Team participated in the war, let me ask you, I want to ask the specific mission of the Broadsword Team."

"I originally wanted to go back and tell you later, but since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you in advance." So Zhao Yongzeng told Wu Feipeng about Li Mingyuan's arrangement.

"Chief Zhao, although the Broadsword Team has just been established, you can't treat us as a reserve team, isn't this bullying?"

After listening to Zhao Yongzeng's words, Wu Feipeng immediately quit, what the reserve team said soundly, it was not hiding behind other troops, the Peruvians were only five or six thousand people, and when the big knife members who were the reserve arrived at the battlefield, the cucumber vegetables were cold, where was the use of the big knife team.

"Captain Wu, don't be angry, the prince treats the big knife team as a treasure, and he won't let any of them lose, I can only arrange you as a reserve team."

Zhao Yongzeng didn't say it's okay, but as soon as he said this, Wu Feipeng became even more angry,

said angrily, "The broadsword team is all eight-foot-tall men, and they are not delicate girls. No, I'm going to fight with the prince. After saying this, Wu Feipeng left angrily.

"Shizi, I don't accept your arrangement." Li Mingyuan was thinking about the issue of operations when he heard Wu Feipeng's loud voice.

"Why are you back again?"

Wu Feipeng originally told Li Mingyuan what he heard from Zhao Yongzeng.

"Shizi, I know that you value the broadsword team, but you can't hide the broadsword team, even the brothers of the engineer battalion have to participate in the battle with shovels, you let the broadsword team hide behind people's butts as a reserve, and the brothers of the broadsword team have no face to see people." Wu Feipeng said aggrievedly.

Li Mingyuan lowered his head and thought about it, what Wu Feipeng said also made sense, the men in the army had the most important face, and letting the broadsword team follow the other troops to participate in the battle finally did hit the morale of the soldiers of the broadsword team.

"In this way, Feipeng, you select a hundred excellent soldiers from the Broadsword Team to participate in the battle"

"Yes, thank you for the success." Wu Feipeng saluted loudly.

"Don't be happy yet, if there are more than ten casualties in a hundred, I'll ask you."

"Obey," Wu Feipeng said rightly.
