Chapter 453: Encarnacion

Combat orders were issued to all grass-roots units, and a total of 3,600 troops including three infantry battalions, brigade engineering battalions, 75 mm field artillery battalions, brigade reconnaissance battalions, and machine gun companies under the command of the first mixed brigade received combat operations. Assemble, then board the train at 12.55 noon and rush to the intended area of ​​operation.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo," the whistle blew loudly, and a long train was emitting rich black smoke, driving at high speed on the railway bound for Villarrica. On the plain near the train window, there were large and dense trees. The tree quickly appeared in the sight of the soldiers, and then was pulled behind by the train.
The area along the road from Carnacion to Villarrica has not yet been affected by the fire, but looking out through the window, you can see groups of people running away and migrating.
Paraguay and the Republic of Brazil have accumulated huge hatred between the people and the military. During the first Paraguayan war from early 1864 to the end of 1868, the number of dead and injured in Paraguay and Brazil reached 120,000 and 80,000 respectively. .
Among the dead and injured in Paraguay, the number of men is about 92,000, and the number of deaths of women and the elderly is nearly 30,000.
The 80,000 people lost by the Brazilian army were all soldiers and officers who were directly involved in the frontline battle.
The Paraguayan war, which lasted nearly five years, has exhausted the endurance of the warring parties. Whether it is Brazil or Paraguay, when one side captures the captives of the other, in order to vent the pressure accumulated by the war, the captured captives are often subjected to cruel punishment and revenge.
Among them, because of the war in Paraguay, Paraguayan people without self-defense ability suffered more severe war persecution than the Brazilian side.
The village where he lived was burned down, and the men in the village were arrested and executed because of suspected involvement in the war.
During the first Paraguayan battle, the extreme measures taken by the Brazilian Imperial Army against the Paraguayan people were staged again and again in northern and central Paraguay.
The corrupt and loose military discipline of the Brazilian army has caused great harm to ordinary people in Paraguay. However, in the face of bullying by robbers at various grassroots units, even though the Marshal Sopetto of the Republic of Brazil issued several orders, the army was banned from arbitrary robbery. The people of Paraguay were plundered, but because the various combat troops entering Paraguay belonged to different factions, and each unit was mixed with more than one-third of black soldiers, etc., Sopetto's order went through many deliberate favoritisms and indulgences. After the soldiers' grabbing officers passed the layers, they were not effectively implemented at all.
The brutality of the Republic of Brazil's army to plunder and harm ordinary people in Paraguay has led to the displacement and flight of a large number of Paraguayan people, and has also aroused the resistance of many Paraguayan people. Civil resistance forces, large and small, have continued to appear. Dozens of transit stations and logistic transfer stations in the central and northern regions of Paraguay also frequently report attacks and even occupation.
A considerable number of resistance elements are active in the rear occupied area, often destroying one resistance force, and within a few days, another resistance force reappears. It is precisely because the rear transportation lanes are frequently attacked and commanded by the frontline military of the Republic of Brazil The ministry had to transfer some of its valuable troops back to north-central Paraguay to wipe out successive insurgent armed attacks and maintain the usual line of supply routes.
不 The instability in the occupied area behind the Republic of Brazil has won the Asuncion garrison for almost a week of breathing and repair time, and it has also provided the necessary transfer and marching time for the Han army to calmly intervene in the Paraguayan civil war.
人群 The fugitive crowd outside the train window appeared from time to time in the sight of the soldiers, but as time passed, the soldiers' curiosity about the scene outside the window soon disappeared.
"The train is expected to arrive in Villarrica at 5.30pm today. It is now 4.17pm. You still have 43 minutes to eat and repair!"
In the rickety steam train carriage, a grass-roots officer was sitting near the window, while holding the seat with his left hand, and staring at the watch on his right hand loudly: "At four and a half, the brigade quartermaster will give Everyone will distribute the march ration tonight in advance. This is the last march ration for our troops in the next few days. Brothers should cherish it. "
"Are there any canned pork? Company commander."
"Yes, you can have pork, beef, and mutton. Today, you are open to eating. After you get off the train, you do n’t know when you can eat the next march meal. So if you do n’t have this meal, I am full, and I can only fill my stomach with field rations tonight and tomorrow. "
The young military officer glanced down at the watch on his right hand and urged: "The bumps on the train are unstable, the brothers finished their march meal as soon as possible, then checked their weapons and equipment, and when the train arrived, they quickly assembled and stood by!"
"Yes! Company commander." .........
"Director Wang, have the marching rations of the officers and soldiers been distributed?"
At the other end of the train, Zhang Wenlian, the head of the first mixed brigade regiment, asked an army officer next to him.
"Just sent out, one canned meat (choose pork, beef, mutton), one staple (fried noodles, bread, cold rice, tortillas), one sausage, one sausage, one piece of cheese candy per soldier A total of 3627 copies were distributed to all units in the row at 3.50 pm. "
The Chief of the Military Commission of the First Mixed Brigade said: "Because of the urgent time, this time we only took half a day of marching rations and two days of field rations (the Han military rations are divided into three types, namely garrison rations, marching rations and Field rations), if two days later the fighting remains anxious, the military rations of the advance forces can only be transferred from Encarnacion by the logistics department. "
"Two and a half days of military rations are enough. If all goes well, before tomorrow evening, the brigade commander and Hu Brigade of the Fourth Police Brigade will lead the main force to Villarrica. At that time, the advance troops will merge with the main force. The advance rations of military rations need not worry about us. "
Zhang Wenlian was optimistic about the progress of the war in Villarrica, so after understanding the basic supply of the army's military supplies, he continued: "Military rations and ammunition reserves are sufficient to sustain our army's combat needs for the next two to three days, so, After solving the demand for combat supplies, what our army has to do is to complete the combat task of preemptively occupying Biarrica and blocking the Brazilian army outside Biarrica train station according to the requirements of the brigade. "
Zhang Wenlian stood up, and while maintaining the balance of his body, he focused his eyes on the march map fixed on the table: "Please see, there are two strategic places around Villarrica.
One is Mbokayadi and the other is Tevequari.
Bombayayadi is located in the northeast direction of the Biarrica railway center. It is the main point of the north-south throat of the attacking station from the direction of Mauricio. It is surrounded by hills and the terrain is complex and easy to defend. It is a defensive position to deal with.
维 Tevequari is located in the south of the station, with mountains and rivers on the back, and the land is wide, which is conducive to the development of the Brazilian army, but it is not easy for our army to set up a blocking position.
Therefore, based on the geographical and strategic advantages and disadvantages of the two places, I plan to place the main forces in the small town of Mbokayadi, two battalions of the first battalion, six battalions, and 75 mm artillery battalions, one machine gun platoon, Reconnaissance camps are deployed here. "
"Which unit is assigned to the defense task of Teviquari? Tevquari is no more than 20 kilometers from the Brazilian military's straight march route ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If the Brazilian army is in danger, bypass the front march route , Detoured to the direction of the Tevequari front, at that time our army will face great defensive pressure in the south of the station. "
Li Jitai, chief of the Brigade Investigation Battalion, asked.
"Do not rule out this possibility."
Zhang Wenlian nodded and explained: "Tevequari is one of the biggest weaknesses in the Bialaria line of defense. Therefore, in order to prevent the Brazilian army from threatening Tevequari's defense position, I plan to build the machine gun company with the remaining 4 The six-year heavy machine gun, a company of the 75mm artillery battalion, the first battalion of the 5th battalion, and the engineering battalion were all placed in the direction of Tevequari, and then the fortifications excavated by the soldiers of the engineering battalion and the heavy guns provided by the 75mm field gun were used. Fire support disrupted the Brazilian offensive. "
"Tevequari has to defend, with the combination of engineers, machine guns, artillery and infantry, can take advantage of the combined arms of our military, and offset the geographical and terrain disadvantages of Tevequari to the greatest extent."
立 75mm Field Artillery Battalion Commander Zhou Liying simulated the deployment of Zhang Wenlian's forces in his mind and nodded in agreement.
"It is easy to share the frontal forces of our troops, but the station is the central point of defense. The distance from the station to Mbokayadi and Tevequari is no more than seven kilometers. Our army's firepower configuration and reserve team In terms of the central support and transfer, splitting the two defenses is also the most appropriate method at the moment. "...
