Chapter 353: Fight Again
www.biquge.info As the saying goes, war is the catalyst of human scientific and technological civilization, and it is also the best military mentor!
After two years of refinement and summing up the experience of the war, the army of the anti-Han alliance has become more accustomed to the cruelty of war than it was when the war began!
This is vividly reflected in the black cannon fodder on the front line!
In the first battle, although the black armed losses were very large, they would survive many veterans, and the quality of these black veterans was naturally far inferior to that of the regular European standing army soldiers, but they were much stronger than the black cannon fodder who had just come out of the boot camp!
Therefore, the armed strength of the blacks who launched the offensive again was stronger than at the beginning!
On the other hand, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han Empire in the province of Gran Columbia, most of the elite veterans were transferred due to the pacification of Japan, and the rest of the soldiers, the old and the young accounted for the majority, and the combat effectiveness declined sharply!
Naturally, the Anti-Han Alliance also saw this!
At the beginning of the 42nd year of the Han Dynasty's offensive, the anti-Han alliance pressed all the main forces, and launched an attack from all positions at the same time in multiple directions and in all directions!
In just a few days, the American National Guard, composed of recruits, old people and children, was beaten with heavy casualties and lost several fronts!
The hatred of those black people for the Han Empire is not something that can be explained clearly, plus this group of black soldiers in the previous battle, many of their family and friends died at the hands of the American National Guard, and their methods of captivity are quite brutal!
The white officers of the anti-Han alliance didn't care about the brutal killing of prisoners by the black soldiers below, anyway, in their eyes, the lives of the captured indigenous Indians and mixed-race untouchables were as worthless as the lives of black slaves!
The General Staff of the Han Empire naturally had already expected this to happen, and had already had the means to do so!
At this time, the Han Empire no longer cared about the gains and losses of land, because the war consumed a large number of indigenous Indians and mixed-race populations, resulting in the abandonment of large areas of land occupied by the Han Empire......
It is inevitable that Zhao Dutian, who does not care about the gain or loss of land, has adopted a policy that is absolutely effective but very hurtful to the indigenous people - strong walls and clear wilderness!
The entire provinces of Gran Colombia, Peru, and La Plata have been asked to migrate to Mexico from the vicinity of the border, and the remaining indigenous Indians and mestizos are required to move to Mexico!
Of course, the 'benevolent' emperor of the Han Empire will not carry out a forced relocation, and the locals will not leave?
It doesn't matter, if you love to stay, you can keep it, but useful food and other materials must be taken away, otherwise, wouldn't it be an enemy?!
Anyway, the indigenous young people in South America either entered the arsenal or joined the American National Guard, and ninety percent of the people left behind were old and young, women and children, Zhao Dutian didn't care about the life or death of these natives who were not Han Chinese, they stayed as their own choice!
But! People can stay, but the materials must be taken, not only to take the materials, but also to burn all the useful and untakable things such as houses and farms!
The 'benevolent' Zhao Dutian will reserve some simple thatched huts for the remaining indigenous people......
As for the food of the indigenous people who remained, then I'm sorry, anyway, after the arrival of the black army, you can't keep it, so just contribute to your motherland!
No rations?
That's easy to do, secretly hide food and other materials for the invading army, but for the crime of treason, the soldier has the right to shoot on the spot!
It is conceivable how thoroughly the Han Empire's way of clearing the wilderness was to clean up the local area and how much harm it did to the local indigenous people!
When the main force of the anti-Han alliance finally defeated the main force of the American National Guard in front of them, they found that the area they occupied was only a piece of ashes and the left-behind indigenous people who were waiting to be fed......
Compared with the 'benevolent' Zhao Dutian, those white commanders and black soldiers are even more ruthless, and the black soldiers deal with these left-behind indigenous people who have no use value and waste food, and the black soldiers' way of dealing with them is very simple - first, rape and then kill!
The Han Empire and the Anti-Han Alliance seemed to have discussed it, and cooperated with a tacit understanding to carry out a thorough cleansing of the Indian mixed race and even the white people on the land of South America!
Towns and towns that were once densely populated became no man's land after the armed occupation of the blacks......
The black soldiers, who did not receive any valuable supplies such as rations from the occupied areas, were very angry, and naturally their anger had to be vented, and the local people were so unlucky......
At first, the victorious anti-Han coalition did not feel anything, hundreds of thousands of American National Guards, old and young, were annihilated, hordes of indigenous captives were buried alive, and the blacks were killed to be a refreshing ......
It's just that what makes the top leaders of the Anti-Han Alliance wonder is that the real core force of the Han Empire can't find any of them!
The bigwigs of the anti-Han alliance are not fools, and naturally they all know very well that those troops with the flag of the American National Guard are all cannon fodder that is temporarily pulled up to fill up!
Their only role is to consume the number of soldiers armed by the blacks and the bullets and gunpowder!
With the counteroffensive of the anti-Han alliance, the role of the strong wall and the clearing of the field has been greatly reflected, and the increasingly poor logistics supply lines have made the anti-Han alliance with financial deficits more and more empty, and it is a fatal thing to support the advance of hundreds of thousands of troops!
What's more, there are constantly a combination of remnants and recruits of the American National Guard along the way!
However, even so, the anti-Han alliance gritted its teeth and occupied the entire territory of the Columbia province of the Han Empire, cutting off the land connection between South America and the Han Empire proper!
It's just that the long logistical supply line, even with the convenience of shipping by sea, has exhausted hundreds of thousands of main forces of the anti-Han alliance!
There is no solution, as long as you take Panama as a node!
Under the Han Empire's strategy of exchanging space for time, the opening time of the Battle of Panama was successfully delayed to the spring of the forty-third year of the Han Dynasty!
The first batch of 30,000 Han Imperial Forest Army, equipped with Dreiser's rifles, was quietly stationed in Panama City!
The bitter anti-Han alliance, which was tossed by a long logistical line, finally gathered more than 100,000 elites capable of fighting and drove to the Panama region!
In the eyes of the top level of the anti-Han alliance, the American National Guard, which has the largest number of people in the Han Empire, has existed in name only, and the remaining elite of the Han Dynasty is not much, and the main force composed of hundreds of thousands of white elites and black veterans in South America will not lose no matter how you look at it!
