Chapter 534: The Beacon of Reeve (Part II)

Of course, the cohesion of the team needs to be ensured, but this is not a problem for Kerim, because he is not only a man of great military and political talent, but also a master of the scriptures who knows the scriptures well and has a good tongue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhat's more, now Klim has also brought back an officer corps as the backbone of the initial army, and it will be more efficient to integrate the armed forces under his command......

Therefore, when the Spanish army attacked, Kerim had already formed an invincible iron army with 5,000 troops under his command at an unbelievable speed, and unlike the inferior weapons and lack of ammunition in the early days of the uprising in history, now the weapons and equipment of the Reeve rebel army are not inferior to the enemy, and the ammunition is also sufficient, so sufficient that Kerim has the luxury of letting those officers and soldiers who are not very good marksmanship seize the time to conduct special training, and consume more than one million rounds of rifle ammunition in a short time!

It turned out that when Kerim and the others landed by boat, they directly let a specially made transport ship wash up on the beach and run aground, and then used the hundreds of mules and horses brought back from the ship to transport enough weapons and equipment to arm a regiment and 20 base ammunition back to their hometown. Speaking of which, Li Hui is too confident in Krim, and even took into account the logistics supply problem after the captured equipment, and almost all of the weapons provided are the standard weapons of the Spanish army, so there is no generation difference in performance, otherwise the advantage is even greater, and it is not difficult to directly defeat the Spanish army in a dignified formation......

Of course, even if that were the case, Krim would not have done such a brute act, because what he wanted was to annihilate the enemy in a structured way, so as to inflict greater losses on the Spanish colonial government and force it to abandon its aggressive ambitions more quickly.

Moreover, the political and economic knowledge he learned during his stay in China made Kerim's vision more long-term, and the population of Rif was sparse, even if it was the whole of Morocco, the population could not be compared with Spain and France, so the life of every soldier must be cherished, and only by increasing the exchange ratio as much as possible, his ideals could be realized in the slightest. No way, compared to the weak Morocco, Spain, especially France, is too strong......

Therefore, Kerim carefully set a trap, first deliberately showing weakness, luring the Spanish army deep into the mountains, and then sending guerrillas to constantly harass and deplete the enemy's supplies and morale with measures to clear the wilderness. At the same time, Krim sent his most trusted core force to quickly seize several key points and completely trap the Spanish army. Although the Spanish expeditionary force was outnumbered, they had become a turtle in an urn due to the unique terrain of Rive, and after trying to break through but were quickly defeated, and fully aware of the strength of the enemy, all the Spaniards fell into despair.

However, the commander of the Spanish army still refused to surrender to Krim, and even the major general of the Spanish army ordered the killing of the messengers sent by Krim, in order to provoke the rebels to cut off the back of his subordinates, and force everyone to muster up the courage to fight to the death......

Truly enraged, Kerim opened his eyes and gave a cruel order not to take prisoners, but what the Spanish army major general did not expect was that the Reeve rebel army was even stronger than he expected. However, in half a day, the Spanish army of more than 11,000 people was all wiped out, and not even one escaped, and the Krim rebel army only had more than 300 killed and more than 1,200 wounded, and the exchange ratio exceeded 7:1......

The outcome of the Battle of Anuvare shocked the entire West, but it was not lamented by Western colonialist historians as "a great defeat unprecedented in the colonial history of any country", as in history, because it was only the beginning......

The glorious victory of the Annihilation of more than 10,000 Spanish troops in World War I spread the prestige of Krim throughout the Rif Mountains, coupled with the fact that he had sent people to secretly instigate in advance, the entire Rif Mountains were boiling, and the resentment against the colonists accumulated for more than half a century erupted like a volcano, and one tribe after another gathered under the command of Krim. In less than a month, Klim's base area expanded to the entire Rif Mountains, with a total population of more than 400,000, and the number of rebels quickly increased to nearly 20,000!

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that due to the capture of more than 20,000 rifles, more than 300 machine guns, hundreds of cannons and countless ammunition in the "Battle of Anuaval", the equipment level of the Krim rebel army has not decreased significantly with the rapid expansion of the army, but has further improved in terms of heavy weapons.

Not to rest on his laurels, Kerim divided his forces to liberate the territories that were still under the control of the Spanish colonizers, and seized the time to consolidate the further swelling forces and prepare for the upcoming large army operations.

The mountains of Rif are too close to Spain, and because of the Soviet-German war, Spain's war machine has already been activated, and the Spanish government reacted faster than in history, and before Krim could declare the establishment of the state, a huge army of more than 100,000 people crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to the west of Riv, and they also received the support of the puppet army of the local feudal lord Raissuli, so the total strength increased to 120,000. And this time, the Spanish government also sent their precious air force, which they had always cherished, and although a few hundred fighters could not be compared with the first-class powers, it was definitely a new threat to the Reif's rebel army.

However, Klim today is not the same as during the uprising in history, he has learned not only military command in China, but also has a fairly in-depth understanding of new weapons such as airplanes, and knows how to deal with them. The rebels made it difficult for Spanish reconnaissance planes to detect accurate information by going out day and night, and once they lowered their flight altitude, the anti-aircraft machine guns brought back by Kerim and others from China could come in handy. This 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun is the only Chinese-style weapon in that batch of weapons and equipment, and it is optimized from the historical American M2HB12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun......

If the reconnaissance aircraft does not work, the bombers are even more useless, you have to find out where the enemy troops are before you can bomb them, right? What, to bomb the strongholds of the rebel army? What are you kidding, the mountains of Rif are so poor that birds don't, let alone cities, not even a town, and Krim's chosen capital is nothing more than a village (in fact, his hometown), which is worth wasting expensive aero-engine life and fuel ammunition to bomb?
