Chapter 452: Encarnacion

After the ministers embarrassed, the soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade, under the command of several officers, assisted the comrades of the 105 Artillery Regiment to pull a carriage with a gun into the camp.
标准 A standard 105mm artillery regiment has 1,800 soldiers and 2,000 horses and mules.
After the carriages and mules entered the camp, the soldiers were busy dismantling and transferring combat materials such as artillery and ammunition, while the mules and mules who had just finished their heavy transportation tasks were placed in the military stables, staying with the horses of the first mixed brigade. In one piece.
The Pampas grassland in the middle of the Han and Han country is one of the most suitable horse farms in the natural environment in the world. Benefiting from superior animal husbandry resources, the total number of horses in the country reached the order of 7 million horses for the first time in 1889.
The second industrial revolution is still in the development stage, and new transportation vehicles such as internal combustion engines and automobiles are still in the stage of research and development and performance improvement. They have not replaced livestock transportation capacity and become the main force of material transportation as in later generations. For the rest of the year, the horses and mules are still the well-deserved main force of material transportation.
Because of the abundant horse resources, the local army units and the second-line garrison troops are equipped with a large number of horses and mules to perform material transportation tasks.
Each standard full editor (15,000 to 18,000) is equipped with horses and mules in the range of 11,000 to 13,000: within the range,
总数 The total number of horses and mules equipped for each full-scale mixed brigade (9,000 people) is in the range of 6000 to 7000.
Each full police brigade (5000 people), the total number of horses and mules equipped is in the range of 2000 to 3000.
的 The high number of horses and mules assigned to each unit has reduced the pressure on material transportation during the operation and improved the unit's ability to continue operations.
Each local division and brigade regular army unit has an independent field cavalry battalion. The cavalry battalion has one person and two horses. The standard establishment is 460 people and 1,000 war horses. Whenever there is a foreign war, the cavalry battalion always acts as a leading investigation and mobile. The role of the army, away from the large army alone, launched an attack on the enemy in the flank direction.
Advanced weapons and ample horse numbers are Pang Zhenyun ’s confidence in defeating the Brazilian Republic ’s army on the Parana River. Therefore, when the first combat order issued by the headquarters was transmitted to the temporary command of the First Hybrid Brigade, Pang Zhenyun quickly The leaders of the First Mixed Brigade, Second Regiment, Fourth Guard Brigade, and 105 Howitzer Regiment were convened to hold a small-scale meeting on how to implement the operational plan.
"According to the information from the headquarters, the current enemy forces facing the Ministry are the Paraná Front of the Republic of Brazil. The army is under the command of Lieutenant General Rodriguez of the Republic of Brazil. His Majesty includes Rodriguez Priest. The third division of Major General Tess, the ninth division of Major General Returio and a subsidiary unit, with a total strength of about 37,000, of which the troops assembled on the front line were 26,000, about twice the number of our army . "
Pang Zhenyun pointed at the sand table on the map and said: "Yesterday, about 10,000 units of the enemy Paraná front set off from the port of Duiguazu, turned overland and headed west, intending to occupy Bia, southeast of Asuncion. Rica, then set up defensive positions there to prevent our army from supporting Asuncion.
Villarrica is the midpoint and junction of the Asuncion-Encarnacion railroad. If the Brazilian Republic forces occupy it, our army's railroad to Asuncion will be blocked and cut off. The Paraguayan remnants will also face the dilemma of the southeast flank loss and the severing of external communication channels. Therefore, the combat task assigned to us by the headquarters is to immediately mobilize an advance force and use our army's railway line to quickly send to Villarrica Suddenly headed in front of the army of the Republic of Brazil to control the Biarrica railway junction and surrounding strategic points. Defensive positions were then organized on site to block offensives from the troops of the Eastern Brazilian Republic. "
"What are the weapons and equipment of the Republic of Brazil's offensive forces? Do they have a large number of cavalry units?"
After Pang Zhenyun's introduction, Hu Kunshan, the brigade commander of the Fourth Police Brigade, asked.
"Brazilian army moving in the direction of Villarrica
About half of the soldiers were equipped with Martini Henry rifles, and the remaining half were equipped with vintage rifles such as Snyder and Zimbabwe, and the rifle propellants used by their soldiers were all black powder, and our Jianye Compared to the six-year rifle, the rate of fire and killing are much weaker. "
Pang Zhenyun added: "The Brazilian army has a cavalry of several hundred people, but the Brazilian cavalry has just come down from the water and their combat effectiveness should be reduced."
"The Brazilian army's weapon performance and arms coordinated combat capabilities are inferior to ours. Their only advantage is that they have more soldiers than ours."
Shen Dehui, the major staff officer who made the battle plan and provided tactical advice to the military chief, heard Pang Zhenyun's supplement, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In the direction of the Paraná front, the total number of the Republic of Brazil's army is almost three times ours. The number of combat troops on the front line is about twice that of our army. With the current intelligence analysis of Brazil's rush to march in the direction of Villarrica, it can be roughly speculated that the Brazilian commander in charge of the Paraná front is not confident enough, he did not Determined to be able to defeat our army on the front of the battlefield, so to adopt a conservative and negative defensive strategy, the intention is to take a step ahead of our army, first occupy Biarrica with superior strength, and then rely on the surrounding fortifications, delaying our army to Asia. The reinforcements in the direction of Somori will allow the Brazilian Republic's army to occupy Asuncion as much time as possible. "
所以 "So, at present, the enemy facing our army did not intend to have a main battle with our army in the first place?"
Hu Kunshan asked,
"Nine times out of ten, the Brazilian army has fought several times with our army, but has not achieved a victory in a division-level or larger campaign. Now, within the army of the Republic of Brazil, the Brazilian generals who have a passive and conservative attitude towards combat occupy the vast majority."
Shen Dehui responded.
"The Brazilian army is too negative and not good. If they have been shrinking into fortifications in the fortifications, once the wind is not right, they will retreat, and it will be difficult for us to keep them all."
Pang Zhenyun thought.
"Haha, there is no need to worry when the brigade grows up. It is not so easy for the Brazilian army to enter Paraguay and then retreat and run back, and even if the Brazilian army perceives danger in advance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Withdraw from Paraguay, then An army that is always afraid of fighting tough battles and seeing its own life as more important than anything else, makes no difference whether it is eliminated or not. "
"Mr. Shen's statement makes sense, there is really no big difference between an annihilated army and an army that only knows to escape."
Xuan Pang Zhenyun's concerns were dispelled, and his tone was raised: "The Brazilian army is strategic, tactically conservative, and passive. They want to rush ahead of us to deploy blocking positions, but they will not succeed.
Commander Zhang, order your ministry to dispatch three infantry battalions, engineering battalions, 75 mm field artillery battalions, brigade reconnaissance battalions, and machine gun companies to form an advance unit. You will be the commander. Before 1 pm, take the train and leave. Rush in front of the Brazilian army to control Villarrica. After 24 hours of your departure, I will lead the main unit with the brigade Hu and Chief of Staff Shen to join you by train.
Before the main force arrives in Villarrica, you must give me a strong hold of the Brazilian army outside the train terminal! "
"Yes! Brigadier!"
"Brother Hu and regiment Wu, the fighting is urgent. They also asked the two to return immediately to the Fourth Guard Brigade and the 105 Artillery Regiment, and start to arrange the deployment and transfer of troops."
Xu Pang Zhenyun continued to arrange for Hu Kunshan, commander of the Fourth Guard Brigade, and Wu Jiadong, chief of the 105th Artillery Regiment.
"Brigadier Pang rest assured, we will now go back and arrange preparations for troop deployment." …………
