The number of guards in Brazil's presidential palace is not large, only about 200 people, and it seems that it is already a little inadequate to protect the president and senior government officials and their families, who are nearly 1,000. In addition, the rout of the Brazilian 112th Division is also fleeing westward, completely blocking the originally not wide road. This makes it delusional for the guards of the presidential palace to protect the president's senior government officials to leave safely!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The soldiers of the presidential palace guards, shouting loudly, and even whipping the fleeing soldiers with their horseswhips, still to no avail. The soldiers who fled did not want to die, and no one was willing to give way. The congestion of the roads has made the senior officials of the Brazilian government anxious one by one!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Da-da-da-da! "The gunfire was getting closer, and everyone felt that danger was coming.

"Sir, why don't we shoot these damn guys and drive them to the side of the road!" An officer of the guard said!

However, the chief of the guard hesitated, but still shook his head, these routs still have weapons in their hands, if the guards dare to take the initiative to shoot, maybe these routs will also start to fight back. With the threat of death, don't expect these guys to be afraid of them because of who they are. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone these living people!

At this time, a major officer passed by on horseback, and the chief of the guard grabbed him!

"What are you going to do?" The major officer asked angrily. There was still a hint of panic in his eyes, he had retreated from the front line, his troops had been scattered by the Chilean army, and he was afraid of death, so he left his troops and fled!

"Major. We are the Presidential Guard, and now order you, immediately lead your soldiers and go back to stop the Chileans! "The chief of the guard ordered!

"Presidential Guard?" A hint of horror flashed in the officer's eyes, but then it disappeared! "I don't care if you are from the presidential palace guard, the Chileans are coming, we have failed, and they want me to go back and die, and give you a chance to escape. It's impossible! The major officer shouted. If it were in peacetime, the presidential palace guard would naturally not be offended. But now, Brazil has failed, where can it manage so much? The most important thing is to save your life first!

"Bastard! I shot you! The chief of the guard said angrily. However, the major officer did not show weakness either. He pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the chief of the guard, his eyes full of madness.

"Why do you want to go first, we are also human beings, and we also have to live!" The major officer yelled. His roar was extremely much in favor of the routs, and everyone echoed it. The eyes that looked at the presidential palace guards were also full of hatred. This made the chief of guard of the presidential palace feel that things were a little too big. It is clear that the demands of the guards have provoked the anger of these routs, if they are not careful. There is a possibility of a mutiny!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "At this time, several shells exploded on the side of the road, and several routers were killed by shrapnel in all directions. The routs who were confronting the presidential palace guards were like frightened birds. They scattered and fled. The pursuers of the Chilean army have already arrived, and if they don't run. There is only one dead end.

The guards of the presidential palace also hurriedly escorted the carriages of the president and cabinet members and retreated westward. It's just that compared to the pursuing Chilean army, their speed is too slow!

At nine o'clock in the morning, a squad of Chilean marines caught up with the fleeing convoy of the Brazilian president and senior cabinet officials.

"Bang bang bang! Da-da-da-da! "Rifle and light machine gun gunfire immediately rang out, and several soldiers of the Presidential Palace Guard were knocked to the ground!

"Damn! Leave some people to stop those Chileans, and the others speed up their evacuation! The chief of the guard hurriedly ordered. After the gunshots rang out, many of the women and children in the convoy cried out of fear, and the shape became very critical.

The soldiers of the Presidential Palace Guard are carefully selected from the army, and in addition to good military skills, it is more important to be loyal. About 50 soldiers of the presidential guard remained, and they engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the pursuing Chilean army under the cover of roadside ditches or trees. It has to be said that these soldiers of the presidential palace guard are very strong, with a strength of more than 50 people, they resisted the attack of a company of Chilean marines.

However, their weaknesses are also very obvious. The guards of the presidential palace were only equipped with light weapons, and there were only a small number of light machine guns, and there were no artillery pieces. When the heavy machine guns and mortars of the Chilean Marines arrived, the soldiers of the presidential guard began to suffer casualties. In the end, after less than half an hour of fierce fighting, all the soldiers of the presidential palace guard were killed! The soldiers of the Chilean Marine Corps, continue the pursuit of the fleeing Brazilian president and cabinet ministers!

Eventually, at the foot of a hill southwest of Rio de Janeiro, the 2nd Battalion of the Chilean Marine Corps, which had arrived with a large force, intercepted the fleeing Brazilian president and senior cabinet officials. The remaining 100 or so guards of the presidential palace formed a circle supported by horse-drawn carriages to protect the president, senior cabinet officials, and their families. It's just that in the face of thousands of Chilean marines, their defenses seem so weak!

"Surrender! You are already surrounded, you can't escape, and if you don't surrender, we're going to start shelling! A Chilean soldier shouted in Portuguese.

Hearing that the Chilean army was about to launch an artillery bombardment, the surrounded Brazilians immediately began to make an uproar. Obviously, they already knew that this time they would not be able to escape no matter what. The 112th Division of the Brazilian Army had already been routed, had suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Chilean army, and was already too busy to take care of itself, and it was impossible for Gen to come to their rescue. Unless God manifests a spirit, they won't have any chance of escaping!

"Boom!" An artillery shell exploded less than twenty meters from the surrounded Brazilians, causing a panic.

"Oh God! Help us! I don't want to die! Many people prayed to God. It's just that it obviously won't do anything! They're already winged!

President Alfonso Pena and several cabinet ministers were protected at the very center. It's just that everyone's faces are very ugly now, as if they are dead parents.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now? Maybe the Chileans will actually open fire! Foreign Minister Mullen said with some horror.

"Your Excellency the President, we have already lost, we might as well surrender to the Chileans! We can't be selfish enough to let so many people die with us! Interior Secretary Marveis also said.

"Patrick, do we have any reinforcements?" President Alfonso Pena asked. Even at this time, he had not given up hope. As president of Brazil, it would be a lifelong shame for him to surrender to the Chileans. It's just that Patrick has let him down again!

"Your Excellency, we don't have any reinforcements left. The 112th Division has been completely defeated, and they will not be able to come to our rescue. The Chileans have taken full control of Rio de Janeiro, more and more troops are coming here, and we don't have any chances left! Secretary of War Patrick said with a sad face!

The hope in President Alfonso Pena's eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace. His body trembled slightly, and he didn't know why he was the way he was. In his original plan, Brazil should be able to defeat Chile and once again consolidate its position as the number one power in South America. He never imagined that in the end, Brazil would lose the war, and even he, the president, would become a prisoner of the Chileans!

"Ready! Shelling! "By this time, the commander of the Chilean marines, having lost his patience, gave the order to start shelling. Since these Brazilians themselves gave up their lives and chose to resist to the end, it is natural that there is no need to let them go anymore!

The gunners began to prepare to open fire, which immediately caused panic among the surrounded Brazilians. Even the soldiers of the presidential palace guard were full of horror in their eyes. Even they are afraid of death!

"Surrender! We surrender! "President Alfonso Pena gave the order to surrender. Those who knew Spanish immediately shouted.

"Humph! I knew they were going to surrender! Stop shelling! The officer of the Chilean Marine Corps said disdainfully.

The soldiers of the Brazilian presidential palace then laid down their weapons and were taken into custody. Brazilian President Alfonso Pena and his cabinet ministers were escorted back to Rio de Janeiro by Chilean Marines to join the main force. As for the others, they will also be taken to Rio de Janeiro, and as for what to do with them, this is not something that these marines can decide!

The battle was over by noon, and the Chilean army won the battle at a small cost. More than half of the 112th Division of the Brazilian Army defending Rio de Janeiro walked into the prisoner of war camp of the Chilean army, and the rest fled, and there were not many people who were really killed on the battlefield, and the entire Rio de Janeiro was already under the control of the Chilean army!

The biggest victory was that Brazilian President Alfonso Pena and those cabinet ministers were captured by the Chilean army, which was the biggest victory. After capturing these people, this war can finally come to a successful end!
