Wu Erbao has been in this area for a long time, and the commanders of the cavalry regiment of the expeditionary force cannot say that they know all of them, and they are basically very different.

In the oncoming cavalry team, the bearded captain officer was clearly Pan Laoxi. This guy is a rare immigrant from the western provinces, and with a thick beard, he looks quite old, so everyone calls him "Pan Laoxi".

"Sir Pan, your actions have scared us a lot, and you think that the white Argentines have come to fight?" Wu Erbao stepped forward and said with a smile.

Captain Pan Laoxi replied apologetically and immediately clenched his fists; "I'm ashamed, old sir, just call me Lao Xi. This is all the militia brothers who are following the clean-up together are too nervous, and when they see the white cavalry, they let go of their guns, and I also think that these outfits are not quite right, and they are committing dripping? Please bear with me if you are offended. ”

"That's the German brother I recruited in New York Harbor, have you heard of it?"

"There is such a thing, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and I apologize to the old chief on behalf of the brothers of the militia group, and I am disturbed."

"Forget it, you are all guests who have come all the way, this time it is ......" Wu Erbao waved his hand to let the militiamen put away their guns, accompanied Pan Laoxi to the inside, and asked with a curious face.

He knew that the cavalry regiment of Port Glory had been busy for a while, except for the small six months in the early days of landing in South America, and working with the armed militia to clear out the surrounding indigenous Indian tribes.

In the second half of last year, they basically did not move, because more and more armed militias poured into South America, and they did not need to take action at all, so they focused on tasks such as maintaining law and order in towns and cracking down on roving bandits.

Since coming to South America, Wu Erbao has rarely seen a cavalry regiment carrying out a clearing mission, at most once or twice.

The vast majority of Indian tribes were wiped out by armed militias, and formed cavalry was rarely seen in the wilderness of South America, at least in the north, and not in the south.

Wu Erbao asked about this topic, and Captain Pan Laoxi's face also became serious, and he replied in a deep voice; "Don't hide from the old chief, don't talk about the secret tasks, there are three tasks I can answer;

First, due to the colonization of the imperial militias to the north, the order was relatively chaotic, and the early Argentine white immigrants who entered the area frequently caught fire, which led to a worrying situation in the region.

At this time, on the occasion of Saint's visit to Europe, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some senior government officials went to Europe to cry and confuse public opinion.

Considering the perception of the saints, the above issued binding regulations;

That is, your position is 170 kilometers north of the border, bounded by the northern border of the Córdoba region, and the armed militias are not allowed to continue to go further north.

Our 8th Company is carrying out this supervision mission, and it is estimated that it will be stationed in the north for a long time until the next wave of rotating cavalry companies arrives to prevent the territorial dispute from intensifying again.

The second, the central and northern provinces of the Argentine region, was extremely hostile to the colonization of the empire, and received a large number of indigenous Indian tribes, the total number of which was estimated to be about 11~130,000, and about 25,000 people were selected from them for training to try to fight against us.

The task of our company is to thoroughly reconnoiter the enemy's situation, report it at any time, and wait for an opportunity to join forces with the surrounding militia groups to strike at it when conditions permit.

Other words;

Brother, I now have a military order to act cheaply, and I have a lot of autonomy, and it is between fighting or not fighting.

This also involves your armed militia in the north, which has a total of 25,000 indigenous Indian forces, and will probably be the biggest threat to your settlement group, capable of destroying the surrounding Chinese settlements.

It should be brought closer together for the common good.

Thirdly, I'm here to ...... You see that the team also carried the city council personnel from the Glory City, some from the colonial department, some from the bank and the long-distance telegraph office, and the railway surveyors who were responsible for their safety.

That's a great thing! ”

"Oh my God, that's a great thing. This is a noble person who can't usually be invited, thank you very much! Wu Erbao was overjoyed when he heard this, he was a knowledgeable retired officer, of course he knew what these municipal personnel would bring?

Employees of the Colonial Department are responsible for surveying and measuring the land and approving the land map, which means that the submitted land title demarcation report has completed the re-survey, and the land title certificate can be approved earlier and as soon as possible.

As long as the land ownership certificate is obtained, then whether it is a Chinese militia or a white Argentine, as long as they dare to violate, they can fight back with a rifle without worrying about any responsibility.

The Tang Empire passed the English castle law;

That is, when private land and castles are illegally invaded by outsiders, they have the right to stop the infringement by force, and their actions are protected by imperial law.

The staff of the bank and the telegraph office would be even better, which meant that after the inspection, it was possible to set up a bank agency or telegraph office in Wujia Town, so that the families of the reclamation would be able to enjoy convenient banking services or long-distance telegraph communication services, and would not have to travel to Glory City, 1,300 kilometers to the southeast.

How much does this save?

Even happier are the railway surveyors, in case there is a railway here in the future, it will be beautiful snot bubbles.

What are you afraid of going deep inland?

As long as there is easy access to railways and shipping, the future is bright, and the production of more grain and wool, beef, and timber can be transported and converted into much-needed capital and equipment for the new town.

If you really want to cultivate and cultivate the land on a large scale, agricultural machinery is absolutely indispensable.

Wu Erbao himself is a tractor driver, very aware of the huge role of agricultural machinery in the colonization, now a 28-horsepower tractor, can withstand the role of 30 strong laborers.

As long as there are more than a dozen tractors and harvesters, he is confident that he can plant 3,000 hectares of land, and after the opening of the railway, the harvested grain will not be afraid of rotting in the ground.

After figuring out these truths in a blink of an eye, Wu Erbao immediately explained, and let Wu Ahu be responsible for continuing to supervise the construction of the "Big Bend Fort", and he himself personally led an armed militia group of hundreds of people to hear the news, and joined forces with the team led by Captain Pan, and marched towards Wujia Town.

When you get here, you must be well entertained, this is the sincere attitude of the wasteland towards friends.

In particular, the Indian Corps mentioned by Captain Pan Laoxi made Wu Erbao deeply worried after hearing it, with the strength of Wujiazhen, he could not stop the attack of the 25,000-strong corps no matter what, and it was almost the same to remove a 0.

Captain Pan's cavalry company plus several armed militia regiments also has a strength of about 560 cavalry, and if you add the strength of Wujiazhen, then it is more than 1,000 cavalry.

The armed militia groups in the surrounding area of hundreds of kilometers can gather about 3 to 4,000 cavalry at most, and it is not impossible to maneuver with the Indian regiments, or even win the battle.

Most of the Chinese armed militias that landed in South America have the backs of retired soldiers, and they are known for their fierceness and good warfare in this part of South America, not to mention the indigenous Indian armed forces, and even the Argentine white militia is not an opponent.

There are basically 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in ten games, and the Argentine white colonists are full of.

Therefore, in this South American wilderness where the strong are respected, the Chinese People's League dared to win more with less, dared to take the initiative to attack, and laid down a huge territory with swords and guns.

It has been a year and a half since the desert expedition, and the lessons learned from the wilderness have made many small and medium-sized Chinese armed militia groups automatically unite to huddle together to warm themselves in this South American pampas.

Wu Erbao's team was like this, there were only more than 160 people in the early days of landing in South America, and in the battles everywhere, they continued to gather some small Chinese teams that were scattered, and slowly gathered to a huge scale of more than 470 people, becoming one of the large armed militia groups.

In the wilderness of South America

An armed militia of a dozen or twenty or thirty people will not be able to succeed, because under the all-round attack of the expeditionary force and the armed militia, the Indian tribes are also reporting to the group, ranging from more than 1,000 to tens of thousands.

Those small Chinese armed militias could not gnaw at all, but once their traces were exposed, they might face the tragic end of the group's annihilation.

Recognizing the cruelty of reality, small and medium-sized Chinese armed militias took the initiative to hug their thighs and join the stronger armed regiments, which is the current situation in Wujiazhen.

The strength of more than 470 Chinese armed cavalry can win and defend, and it must not be underestimated.

Even if you encounter a large Indian tribe camp with tens of thousands of people, with the absolute superiority of weapons and equipment, you dare to go up and bite hard, this is strength.

Evening in Wujia Town

A dozen or so bonfires are filled with the smell of barbecue, a large number of potatoes and potatoes are buried in the bonfire, and a cow and several hunted adult alpacas are roasted on the shelves.

With radishes and pieces of meat boiling in a boiling cauldron, as well as tumbling green leaves and bean bisque, it's a hearty campfire dinner.

Hundreds of Indian women were busy setting up a tent around Wujia Town, and the Chinese People's League and soldiers were sitting in groups on the grass talking and laughing loudly, which was a rare time to relax.

Wu Erbao sat with a group of militia leaders, Captain Pan Laoxi, and several lieutenants and second lieutenant officers, and the burning bonfire reflected everyone's faces, and their brows were not as relaxed and joyful as ordinary militiamen.

"I know the situation in this area, there are about more than 10 armed militia groups active, the number of people is three or four hundred, and the number is in the early 200s, plus our existing strength, we can almost gather more than 3,300~3,500 people, and the strength is a little weak." Wu Erbao was introducing the local situation, his face did not hide his concern for the enemy, and said with a solemn expression;

"The so-called anticipation of the enemy is lenient and does not fight unprepared battles.

Now we don't know what weapons the Argentine ghost equipped the Indians? How many cavalry, how many white militia fought together?

Where is the enemy's position and how far is it from us?

According to my opinion, the armed regiment must reach a total strength of 5,000 cavalry, and it needs the full support of the field artillery company to which the cavalry regiment belongs, and it needs sufficient ammunition for a major battle to have more than half of the chances of victory.

Less than that, the outlook is not encouraging.

Also, will the expeditionary force give strong support? ”

"It's hard to ...... Don't you know that the strength of the regiment has been used to the extreme, there are more than 2,000 people in total, and they have to undertake the security work of three cities and dozens of towns and towns, and they have to retain the rotation of troops, and it is already the maximum ability to send two cavalry companies, and at most one cavalry artillery company is added. Pan Laoxi smoked a cigarette pouch with a bitter face, looking like an old peasant.

If you don't say that he is only 28 years old, others will mistakenly think that he is 48, no wonder he is called Pan Laoxi, it is really very appropriate.
