Chapter 578: Roberto's Careful Thoughts
"Sir, I don't think it's a good idea to break north." The adjutant on the other side made a different opinion for the first time, "I think that you are in too much of a hurry. ”
When Roberto heard this, he turned his head, his eyes wide like brass bells.
"What do you mean?"
"Our defense is very strong, those soldiers outside the city are just surrounding, and the desire to attack is not strong!"
The adjutant said slowly.
"Even if they do attack, they won't be able to get in for a while, we can definitely hold on and wait for reinforcements! The Yankees aren't really going to raze this place with a cannon! ”
Roberto thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that his lieutenant had some point.
I seemed to be a little too anxious, and I panicked when I heard that I was surrounded on three sides, thinking about how to run.
He paced back and forth for two steps, then turned around again and touched his beard:
"And what if they do come in?"
"Surrender." The adjutant replied without thinking.
This is what he really thinks in his heart.
The adjutant did not think that Spain would be able to win the war.
Even if he fled to Guantanamo, he eventually surrendered.
What is the difference between surrendering late and surrendering early, the meaning can be lowered.
"Sir! Don't listen to him! Another puppet army officer was anxious and said to Roberto.
The officer leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's fine if it's all American troops outside, but it is said that there are local Cuban rebels inside, and if we fall into the hands of those rebels."
The puppet army officers are actually thinking more about themselves.
When the time comes, these Spaniards will make peace with the Yankees, pat their butts and leave.
I'm really doomed.
Once the lackeys and traitors are liquidated, it is really possible to be chopped alive.
Because when it comes to mutilating their own people, this part of the population is often at the forefront, and they are more ruthless than anyone else.
The tiger is gone, and the fox must not be skinned and cramped?
Roberto gasped as well.
This man has a point! The enmity between himself and the rebel army is as deep as the sea, and he must not sit idly by, he must take advantage of the fact that the blockade army has not yet been seen in the north, rush out, and reach Guantanamo, maybe there is a glimmer of life!
However, Roberto's face began to cloud.
He suddenly opened his mouth and rebuked the puppet army officer in front of everyone:
"Gomez! You're wrong! Are you not confident in the defense of our Spanish troops? No matter what, we're going to play with the momentum of the Spanish Empire! ”
The puppet army officer named "Gomez" was momentarily stunned.
He thought he had eaten up what Robert was thinking, but it looked like he had hit a nail.
The meeting ended quickly.
The adjutant was elated
Gleefully went to the defense.
His point of view is that only when you play your own value and surrender can you have the capital to negotiate.
The puppet army officers were deflated, and knowing that these Spaniards could not be counted on, began to find a way to fend for themselves.
And Roberto, as the supreme commander of the city, also looks like he is going to fight a good resistance battle.
He constantly went to the front line to inspect the fortifications, and at the same time stood on a makeshift platform made of boxes and addressed the soldiers in white Spanish uniforms:
"My valiant warriors! You are guarding the glory of the Empire! It is also to defend the glory that belongs to the warriors, and every inch of land under your feet belongs to Spain! ”
"Fight! Like your predecessors, you will be remembered by all those of the Motherland! ”
The young Spanish soldiers standing under the trenches looked at their commanders with numb expressions.
They were fooled into coming here from home, but half of the "criminal American soldiers" were not hit, but they were dizzy by artillery bombing every day.
It's boring, it's really boring.
The adjutant on the side didn't say anything.
He felt the support of his superiors, and at the same time admired his superior's language arts.
There was no mention of the half-sentence of surrender.
Governors must not easily expose their strategic intentions.
The matter of surrender can only be said in private, even if it is really thought so in the heart, it cannot be said directly.
Otherwise, it will be a devastating blow to morale.
When the time comes, who will be on the defensive?
After walking around the front line, Roberto made another appearance in front of the residents of the city that he was going to fight the Americans.
"We have strong fortifications and heavy machine guns! We can give those Americans who don't know the height of the sky a taste of bullets! ”
No one doubts that a terrible siege will take place here.
However, they all thought wrong.
On the morning when Chen Jianqiu gave the order to attack, Roberto quietly slipped out of the city of Kemanella from the north with a personal guard of less than 100 people.
Beat? Beat the egg! Guard? the fart!
Can you keep him still counting in his heart?
Privately, he pulled the information he had given him from under a pile of papers, and looked at it carefully.
He began to understand how the cities in southern Cuba had been lost.
The tactics have changed so much, and the firepower is so terrible that it's too scary to understand why there is such an existence in this day and age.
Of course, he also learned how Chen Jianqiu dealt with the captives.
If they stay in Guantanamo until the end of the war, the Yankees will treat them humanely; But if he loses to Chen Jianqiu and falls into the hands of the rebels, it is really better to live than to die!
The best soldiers on the defensive can drag on for a while, until Chen Jianqiu's troops can't catch up with them.
Soon, Roberto and his own soldiers rushed headlong into the encirclement set up by Li Sifu.
Li Sifu had been waiting here for two days, and had not waited for the Spanish troops to evacuate.
Now I finally saw Spanish soldiers in white uniforms, but there were so few.
Li Sifu was a little hesitant to start.
I have a thousand people, and I clean up this hundred people, I really feel like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
But he quickly figured it out.
There is nothing good to end up in picking and choosing, and how much to play is.
So after Roberto's troops entered the ambush circle, Li Sifu asked one or two hundred people to choke the head and tail to complete the encirclement, and then gave the order to open fire.
The course of the battle was lackluster.
More than a hundred soldiers, along with Roberto, were beaten into a sieve.
These men were in the jungle like the helpless Marines who were in the jungle, helplessly holding their guns and watching the bullets coming out of the jungle.
A hundred people fell into an ambush circle prepared for thousands of people, and the end was naturally tragic.
This directly led to Li Sifu not catching a single live mouth.
He found Roberto's body.
The former commander of the former city of Kemanella was swept in the abdomen by a bullet and died in a resounding death.
A few hours later, the body was sent to Chen Jianqiu's command camp in the south of the city.
After a few more hours, the body was hoisted up and appeared on the front line of the attack.
Chen Jianqiu's big horn began to play a role again.
"Big news! Big news! The Kaimanella City Command is out of business! Commander Roberto ran away with his sister-in-law! ”
"Valiant Spanish warriors! You have been betrayed! ”
"Your honor should not be tarnished by the shameless! Like us, many of you come from poor families, and you shouldn't fill in the lines for a coward like Roberto! ”
Chen Jianqiu was not at all worried that his actions would anger the Spaniards.
If there were no internal contradictions, then Spain would not be engaged in civil war and revolution every day!
Sure enough, after seeing Roberto's body, all the Spanish soldiers, including the adjutant, were dumbfounded.
They had just exchanged fire with Chen Jianqiu's troops for several hours, and they had been so confused by the fire from the opposite side that they couldn't even lift their heads.
The soldiers quickly understood that they had been sold.
The adjutant felt that there was no need to even go through the motions, so it was better to vote directly according to the original plan.
Anyway, I can't beat it.
Under his leadership, the Spanish soldiers, who had no will to fight, directly waved the white flag, laid down their weapons and walked out of the fortifications.
And those who still wanted to resist were directly tied up by order of the adjutant.
Chen Jianqiu captured the city of Kaimanera almost bloodlessly.
The residents of the city, seeing that it was the Chinese troops who entered the city, suddenly fell in their hearts hanging in mid-air.
These Chinese soldiers had a very good reputation in Cuba, were highly disciplined, and almost never harassed the inhabitants.
In some cases, violations of discipline were directly dealt with by the Disciplinary Committee.
Chen Jianqiu has always been strict in this regard, and he believes that it is difficult to talk about the combat effectiveness of an army without discipline.
After capturing the city of Kemanera, Chen Jianqiu did not rush to Guantanamo.
Although the command of the command was like that.
Chen Jianqiu still didn't care about these orders.
He has his purpose and rhythm.
At present, in southern Cuba, his strength is the strongest, and he Chen Jianqiu has the final say on how to fight.
Again, if your command has the ability, you can come, and the 2nd Volunteer Cavalry Brigade can give up the position of the main attack.
Chen Jianqiu's next step is to look back.
He was going to rescue the Maruns who were about to die in the camp at Mykara.
It's not that Chen Jianqiu is "kind-hearted", but he doesn't want to risk being attacked on his back, and Ma Run should be liberated to act as the next bait or something.
The more than 2,000 Spanish soldiers in the jungle had to be dealt with.
Many of these soldiers were experienced veterans, and their fighting power was not comparable to that of those who remained in the city of Kemanella.
They are familiar with the terrain.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Jianqiu has been reluctant to enter the jungle to clear the Spaniards.
In a hard fight, the advantage of firepower is not obvious in the jungle, and in hand-to-hand combat, the casualties will be too great.
Although it is said that you can't be afraid of the dead when you start a war, it is too worthless to sacrifice in a senseless place.
So, in his command room, Chen Jianqiu looked at the map again. (End of chapter)
