Chapter 51: The Vanguard Besieges Medellín

Beyo, Ita, Gado, Paragomez, (Wall, Follwill, Bucklow)

The 4,000-man trap camp was divided into 1, 2, and 3 regiments with 1,200 people each, as well as 400 people from the guard regiment, Gao Shun ordered the 2nd regiment Yang Hao to attack the main attack, the 1st regiment Li Jian to fight reinforcements, and the 3rd regiment Li Qiang as the general reserve.

Gao Shun: "Yes, all the officers have experience in war, but our current camp is a new army, and the first attack must be fought beautifully and wonderfully." ”

"I'll leave it to everyone!"

"Yes!"

………………………………………

"It is reported that the 1st Battalion has stormed the town and taken control of the northern city of Vergado."

"According to the report of Li Xiaoyu, the commander of the 1st Company, the combat effectiveness of the Colombian army is okay, but the weapons are not as good as ours."

Yang Hao looked at the map, this picture is very rough, there is only one point in many places, such as this small town of Vergado, there may be tens of thousands, or thousands of people, so this attack is also a bad battle.

Li Xiaoyu's 320 men have taken the police station next to the north gate of the town.

"Report, on the street ahead, there is an enemy taking hostages. Our 1 platoon attack was blocked. ”

Li Xiaoyu expected a rebellion, but he didn't expect others to take hostages.

"Command to send Li Bin! Bring a 24-member special combat team to help! ”

When Li Bin led the team to the scene, the two sides fought. It's stopped

At this intersection, the baroque church on the first floor was built on the left corner of the front of the intersection, and Zhao Xiaodao, who led the attack, had 100 people in the main attack, and 18 people had been injured.

Zhao Xiaodao explained:

"When our men were 200 meters away, the enemy machine guns did not fire, and as soon as our offensive was successful, their machine guns fired, so we managed to find three machine gun fire points and destroy them."

"It wasn't until we stormed the building that we found out that they had taken nearly 100 hostages, mainly women and children. We had to withdraw! ”

Li Xiaoyu thought about it: No matter whether these children and women were civilians they had captured or relatives of the enemy, it would certainly not be possible for the vanguard army to attack regardless of it, and once there were too many civilian casualties, it would certainly be unfavorable to the vanguard army in terms of news and speech.

"I order: the special combat team is divided into 4 groups of 6 people each, the first group goes to the roof next door on the left, as an observer and a cover support group. The second group, together with Platoon Commander Zhao, feinted to attack the main gate to attract firepower. The third group struggled to climb the stairs from the back door. The fourth group attacked from the right, acted cheaply, and went in to try to grab the hostages. ”

"Zhao Pai, you send someone to get a batch of doors and one panel, put a quilt between the two door panels, and use a wheelbarrow to make an earthen tank. Do seven or eight, and use it when you turn a feint into a main attack for a while, followed by a grenadier, understand? ": Although Zhao Xiaodao said that he was a Chinese worker in the Americas, of course, he had also seen the earthen tank in his shadow.

After about twenty minutes of the general offensive began, he changed his combat methods, and after joining the special combat team of dozens of sharpshooters, Zhao Xiaodao's platoon progressed very smoothly.

The Vanguard fighters, protected by bulletproof shields, finally calmed down, and while attacking, they brought in more bed boards and other obstacles from the outside.

Throwing grenades from windows, throwing grenades at stairs, and even into church prayer room pews.

The result was already predestined, 120 hostages were saved, 68 enemy troops were annihilated, and 48 were captured.

Moreover, the commander and mayor of the garrison brigade of Medellín City were among these 68 people, no wonder the resistance was so fierce, I didn't expect it.

By the way, today, March 12, 1977, is Sunday.

…………………………

Wall: City Council President, Will: Medellín Police Chief, Bucklow: The Deputy Mayor is in an emergency meeting at City Hall.

Because as far back as the time when the Chinese took the Chinese city in Panama, there was more news from the Medellín side.

That group of Chinese troops was disciplined, brave in battle, and organized, but I didn't expect it to be. But hit here

"What kind of people are helping the government to quell the rebellion, obviously the Chinese who have seized our Shidi"

"The president is a liberal, opposes the private property of the cathedral, advocates what equality and freedom, how can the aristocracy be equal to the subordinates? It's just a mess. ”

"The army he controls is not good in combat, we obviously treat the Chinese army as a thug, but will the Chinese only help him fight, for sure, no!"

"We are all big landlords and big capitalists, and we conservatives must not fail, especially the city of Mademulin, which cannot be lost."

"Let's fight, I don't believe the Chinese can take this place!"

Medellín is the stronghold of the conservatives or the conservative party, while Bogotá is the stronghold of the Colombian liberals, and both sides are currently at odds with the traditional Spanish subordination and the emerging bourgeoisie due to a fundamental divergence between economic interests and the state system.

South America has diverse environmental resources, but due to the influence of colonial economy and large landlordism, there has been no economic take-off after independence, and most of them are developing countries. The big landlord system has a large production scale and a large income because the big landlord has a large production scale; Smallholder farmers with weak competitiveness live in poverty. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor in society has widened. At the same time, in order to avoid conflict with the interests of the colonial mother country, the industrial development of South America is limited, and only cheap raw materials such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and minerals can be exported, and the high-priced industrial products are affected by the colonial economy, and South America is still dominated by the export of first-class products, and the single products are susceptible to international price fluctuations, which makes the South American economy unstable, and in order to meet the needs of the international market, many countries must import grain to grow more cash crops, resulting in unbalanced agricultural development.

The most critical reason is that South America has a weak industrial base, and its economic sources are basically based on agricultural and sideline products and minerals. During the first and second industrial revolutions, South America did not catch this train, and many countries could not improve their industrial manufacturing capacity, so they could only rely on the "old capital" method to resell agricultural products and mineral resources.

Therefore, for a long time, there has been a large gap between the rich and poor of the people at the bottom and the big landowners at the top, which is the fundamental reason for the frequent civil wars and coups d'état in South America and Colombia.

This is also an opportunity for the Vanguard Army.

………………………………

Vanguard representatives Koswich and Walker met with the President of Colombia, especially his aides, and proposed to renew Bolivarianism, win over the hearts and minds of the people of Greater Colombia, and treat civilians well. the establishment of the Gran Colombia Coalition to annex Gran Guador to Gran Colombia and to introduce equality before the law and monogamy; 4 years of compulsory education, 9-hour work system; freedom of speech, nationalization of gold, silver, oil, natural vapor resources; The President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Nation; Establish a central bank and issue Colombian currency. After the confiscation of the assets of the recalcitrant conservative landlords of the recalcitrant sect in Medellín, the Second Vanguard Army was entrusted with a guarantee of a steady increase in state taxes, and the army was reorganized after five years.

The presidential aides agreed with the majority, but there were different opinions on whether to nationalize the issue of land and mines and other resources.

Eventually, it was agreed that Colombia west of Medellín would be under the administration of the Vanguard Army for five years, and the Vanguard Army continued to support Pará Gomez for the presidency from 1876 to 1880.

For the Pioneer Army, in legal terms, the Vanguard Army is also the military force of the Colombian government, which in turn provides a legal and judicial basis for the various activities of the Donghua Collective in South America.

That's a lot of progress!
