Chapter 274: War of Attrition

Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWith just after the New Year's Day of the 27th year of the Han Dynasty, the climate in Panama, where the climate is still not too cold, the battle is becoming more and more intense, and the Han Empire once again shows its former ruthlessness, and one after another full regimental American Native Guard is thrown into the battlefield, and the retreat is not allowed to be replaced until more than half of the casualties are lost!

Moreover, the remnants of the retreat can only eat a mouthful of hot food, and after a simple rectification, they will return to the gathering place of recruits who have been pulled to the rear of the battle line to replenish!

Subsequently, these remnants were added to a group of Indians or mixed-race children whose families had divided the fields, and after only two weeks of intensive training, they were once again pulled to the front line!

This did cause a lot of casualties and constant loss of positions to the Spaniards, but there were many rank-and-file officers and soldiers who had retreated from the front line to protest against this inhumane act of the Empire!

The huge casualties have made the American Home Guard, which has always had good morale, appear sporadic discordant voices!

As a result, the spy politics of the Han Empire played an important role, with the news of Jinyiwei, it was difficult for those dissatisfied soldiers to hide in the army, and these people were generally first ideologically preached, and clarified that they promised a bunch of post-war benefits, etc., if this was not possible......

It just so happened that due to the high-intensity fighting, the death battalion was almost empty and urgently needed to be replenished!

No matter how much trouble these soldiers and junior officers make, as long as they don't raise guns and rebel, their identity is still a soldier in the imperial military system, and soldiers must obey the command of their superiors, which even illiterate civilians know, so these soldiers who have repeatedly taught can only obey orders when they are transferred to the death battalion......

As for the rebellion?

The prestige of the Han Empire was built on the basis of sweeping through Mexico, and the leaders of the first righteousness like Hidalgo were easily crushed to death by the Han Empire, how could these few troublesome soldiers dare to resist?

What's more, the Han Empire's blockade of the cruelty of war is very attentive, and all that is heard in the rear peaceful areas is that the imperial army has achieved such and such a victory, and will not hear how many people died in this battle!

Coupled with the popular land division policy of the Han Empire, even if the soldiers who were dragged to the death camp really wanted to rebel, no one would follow!

There will even be many soldiers who are glad that the death battalion can once again serve as the vanguard of the first round of charges, and they can bear fewer casualties......

In this way, the Han Empire's attack regardless of casualties, even if the morale of the American Native Guard was slightly lowered, it still firmly maintained a sufficient offensive!

On the other hand, on the side of the Spaniards, how miserable and miserable it is......

On weekdays, the main task is to suppress the backward indigenous Spanish army, where has such a brutal frontal battle been fought?

If it weren't for the arrival of a steady stream of native-born white reinforcements, the Panamanian defense line would have collapsed long ago!

In fact, this is also related to Zhao Dutian's ruthlessness towards the white manor owners and capitalists, if it weren't for the fact that the Han Empire was not so harsh on the native whites, they would have raised their hands and surrendered a long time ago!

Of course, even if these people surrender, they will definitely not have their hearts set on the Han Empire, and as soon as the war in Europe is over, the local white forces will not be cleared, and they will be properly led by the party and revolutionaries!

This is why Zhao Dutian would rather provoke the resistance of the native whites of the whole of South America, make it more difficult to expand, and strive to completely break the local economic system controlled by the whites!

However, what makes the upper echelons of the Han Empire strange is that compared with the whites who were only robbed of their wealth, those blacks were even more miserable in the occupied areas of the Han Empire!

Fortunately, if you take the initiative to cooperate, you will be managed like an animal and dragged to the most dangerous mine to engage in a life slave life, and the rest will be shot on the spot as long as you refute it slightly!

It can be said that there are only two ways for blacks in the territory of the Han Empire, one is to become a short-lived slave, and the other is to be executed!

Fortunately, since most of the people in Mexico were Indian slaves, there were not many black slaves, and the Han Empire did not encounter any obstacles in cleaning up, but South America was full of a large number of black slaves!

As a result, the native whites of South America all took up arms and fought hard against the Han Empire, while the black slaves worked diligently for the Spanish colonists as if they didn't know anything......

Could it be that this uprising and revolution must have a spark that fails?

Of course, this kind of good thing for Zhao Dutian, he will not remind the enemy!

It's much easier to execute a group of slaves than to execute a group of slaves who pick up guns!

Just when Zhao Dutian felt relaxed that the black slaves in South America did not have the slightest spirit of resistance, the black people of Hispaniola were fighting for equal human rights and blood!

When the black rebel army led by Toussaint Louvertur and the Spanish colonizers united to defeat the French and was about to annex the entire western part of Hispaniola, which belonged to the French, the Spaniards, who had already won the victory, were naturally unwilling to promote the status of low-class black slaves!

But the Spaniards had enough of Toussaint Louvertur, and the black rebels had grown too much in the war, and they began to discuss how to trap their teammates!

In the eyes of the Spaniards, the good-for-nothing black slaves were able to achieve what they are today, completely because of the leadership and military ability of Toussaint Louviture, who believed that as long as Toussaint Louvitur was eliminated, the black slave army would be vulnerable!

So, in the name of negotiating the promotion of the status of blacks, the Spaniards brought Toussaint Louvertur into the Spanish barracks!

Sadly, Toussaint Louwitur had only two retinues with him......

In the eyes of Toussaint Louvertur, the Spaniards did not dare to offend the black rebels today, and the rebels at this time had obtained a large number of muskets through capture, and the number was tens of thousands, even if they fought the Spaniards head-on, they might not be able to lose!

But it was Toussaint Louvertur's self-righteousness that cost him his life!

After killing Toussaint Louvertur, the Spaniards tore up the Covenant privately, mobilized their prepared troops, and launched a fierce attack on most of the leaderless rebel army!

The sudden attack on the black rebels, coupled with the loss of Toussaint Louvitur's command, plunged into chaos, and the blood of the few Spanish troops was shed!

Suddenly, the Kingdom of Spain became the biggest power in Hispaniola!

However, the Spaniards could not imagine the sacred position of the black leader in the hearts of the slaves, although the main force of the black rebel army was defeated and scattered, the black slaves of the entire island of Hispaniola were completely aroused, and they also saw the ugly face of the Spaniards!

Once again, these blacks have launched an all-out uprising on the island of Hispaniola!
