Chapter 375: The Final Battle
After many discussions and exercises, the Taiping Army was ready for the final decisive battle with the Peruvian Ninth Division.
Yang Xiaoshan held the Taiping Sword and stood quietly, today is the final mobilization meeting, whether it can break the encirclement and blockade of the Peruvian Army depends on today's battle.
"What do you think? Does anyone else have objections? Yang Xiaoshan added at the end of the meeting.
"Hit! Let's fight! Kill them! Li Shixian rubbed his hands and couldn't wait.
"The weapons and equipment of the fighters are all ready, and the rafts for this battle are ready to go to war." Lao Wu nodded and said.
"The brothers have been fighting for a month, and they can't hold back a big fight. Dongwang, everyone is ready, this time you must start the killing ring! Bao Chao couldn't bear it anymore and looked forward to showing his edge.
Yang Xiaoshan's gaze swept towards Feng Zicai in the rear army, only to see him clenching his fists and nodding vigorously.
Yang Xiaoshan took a deep breath, the winter wind was howling outside the temporary camp, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
"Hit early and rest early, you can't put it off any longer." Yang Xiaoshan said silently in his heart.
Yang Xiaoshan's eyes showed a resolute gaze, he cleared his throat, and said categorically: "Since everyone is ready, this time we must completely annihilate the Peruvian army and let them know how powerful we Chinese are!" β
"Yes, yes!" Everyone was ordered, and in the face of this decisive battle, the morale of the Taiping army was unprecedentedly high.
======================
Little Oro was in a comfortable camp, drinking coffee comfortably.
Although the Chinese's good fighting was unexpected, the situation had been pulled back by him little by little.
In these days with the Chinese in the mountains, his white hair is getting more and more, although it is not a night and a day, it is also a January white head.
Constant small defeats, constant replacement of defeated officers, and constant mobilization of reinforcements from his jurisdictionγγγγγγ Everything was exhausting for him, and what had once made him proud of his time in the French Foreign Legion was no match for the hardships of this time.
"But what, now victory is in sight, and I have taken back the initiative on the battlefield." Little Oro took a sip of the bitter coffee, shook his head, and added a spoonful of granulated sugar to the coffee.
"It tastes so much better." Little Oro was relaxed, and the sweetened coffee made him very relaxed.
Little Oro, who had been in a state of tension, even began to look for books to bring with him and began to pass the free time.
When he saw the "Thirty-six Strategies" recommended to him by his father, he threw it aside with disdain, and after some searching, he finally picked up a very popular French book "Notre-Dame de Paris" and sat on a chair and began to read.
Little Oro was born in the aristocracy, and his clothes and barracks were always kept as noble as a nobleman, to show his extraordinary. Even when he was sitting in a chair, he still leaned up, reflecting an elegant state of mind.
"Colonel γγγγγγ" Staff Officer Martin burst in.
Xiao Ao Luo frowned, he was very unhappy to be disturbed at this time, and said unhappily: "Why don't you shout a report, why don't you understand the rules of the army like a recruit?" β
"Report, good news. The Chinese are coming to fetch water again. Staff Officer Martin excitedly.
"Oh? That's great! When little Oro heard this, he immediately put down the book and stood up excitedly.
"What's the situation now?" Little Oro immediately opened the map, his eyes fixed on the location of the water source.
"According to your instructions, Colonel, we used two regiments to ambush around here, and this time the Chinese will definitely not be able to escape. However, the front reported that there were hundreds of Chinese this time, and I am afraid that at least half of them came, and there seemed to be reinforcements behind. Staff Officer Martin hurriedly reported.
"Yay. This time they must not be allowed to run again, and not a single fish can be let go. The other three regiments were ordered to press together. Little Oro happily slapped the table, using the water source to make a fuss was the winner he came up with, and it was also the trick he thought would turn the tide of the battle.
"Colonel, are we looking up to these Chinese too much?" Staff Officer Martin instinctively hesitated when he heard that he was going to send them all.
"The Chinese are very cunning, we have to use all our strength. I have promised my father to go back before Christmas to celebrate my achievements. This battle is the winner. Little Oro straightened his collar, "Let's go, let's go to the front line together, I have to command it myself." β
As soon as he arrived at the front line, Xiao Oro was taken aback by the firepower of the Taiping army. This time Yang Xiaoshan took out all the guys at the bottom of the box, the former army Bao Chao, the Chinese army Li Shixian elite out, these veterans are very familiar with muskets, in the face of the Peruvian two regiments, the firepower not only did not lose, but also slightly better, these days the Taiping army has captured a lot of Peruvian soldiers, this time all used.
Little Oro observed the battlefield and was glad that he had made the right arrangements and brought everyone here. Otherwise, there is no certainty of victory in this situation.
On the orders of O Younger, three other regiments of the 9th Peruvian Division also entered the battle, and finally the artillery battalion joined in. The situation on the battlefield has changed significantly, and the firepower of the Taiping army seems to have been completely suppressed and completely muted.
"Colonel, the front line reports that the Chinese bandits can no longer withstand the firepower of our army and are retreating, ask the colonel if he wants to chase him?" Martin came to report.
"Send one regiment to chase after you first, and the other regiments will stand by to rest." Little Oro also suffers a loss and a long wisdom, Chinese like to ambush, these days suffer too many losses. However, now that he has an absolute advantage in numbers, even if one regiment is ambushed, the other regiments can immediately go to the rescue.
Although Xiao Oro said that he let the troops rest, he did not dare to slack off, and kept an eye on the development of the battle situation with a monocular.
Suddenly, a ball of fire descended into the air, causing Staff Officer Martin to exclaim: "Fire! Fire! The Chinese want to attack us. β
Xiao Oro was secretly taken aback, and immediately pointed the telescope in his hand at the sudden fire, and scolded in his mouth: "Don't panic, let me see the situation." β
The fire began to spread on the mountain, and the Peruvian army that came to chase it was surrounded on three sides.
"Colonel, let's withdraw the team, the Chinese are scheming, this fire is strange, I'm afraid we will suffer losses." Staff Officer Martin proposed.
While observing the battle situation with a telescope, Xiao Oro stretched out his right index finger and shook it a few times, and stopped: "No! β
"Not only can we not withdraw, but we have to add two more regiments to go up." Xiao Oro put down the binoculars with a mocking face, and continued: "The little tricks of the Chinese, this big winter, don't look at the fire burning so vigorously now, it will definitely not burn. The Chinese want to run and scare us with such means, but we can't fall for their tricks! β
Little Oro stroked his neat hair triumphantly, he was confident and convinced of his own judgment.
