Chapter 454: Encarnacion

In the port of Duguaysu, on the wide surface of the Parana River, a loading and unloading fleet consisting of steamer steamers and wooden sailboats frequently travels between the fleet and the port.
Boxes of cargo were unloaded from the transport ship, and then transported to the port by small steamers, and then a group of soldiers acting as human forces cooperated with each other to transfer the cargo to the interior of the barracks.
The transport fleet carries all military supplies, such as artillery shells and ammunition, for the Paraná Front of the Republic of Brazil.
Standing on the shore of the port, deflected his eyes to the right and forward, Rodriguez could even see the bright rifle bullets through the hole in the broken wooden packing box.
The hole in the wooden packing box was obviously not caused by improper loading and unloading, but rather like the damage left by being hit by an old-style rifle bullet.
Rodriguez's guess was correct. This was easily verified by several officers with white bandages.
"General, sorry. The fleet was attacked by several Paraguayan resistance en route from Guaira to Duguaisu. More than forty soldiers were killed and wounded in the transport fleet. Six boxes were damaged. "
An officer with the Colonel rank on his epaulettes and a white bandage on his right arm approached Rodriguez, apologizing slightly.
"I don't blame you. The resistance armed activities in central and northern Paraguay are rampant. You can cross the valley of insurgent armed activities and safely transport ammunition to Duguaisu. You have already completed the mission. As a result, you lost it during the transportation Some ammunition supplies are also inevitable. "
Rodriguez understands the difficulty of carrying out logistics transportation tasks, so he has not raised excessively harsh accusations against the transport fleet, but there is also a doubt in his mind. The execution of military material transportation tasks is a military secret, the departure time of the transport fleet, and stopover supplies The location is generally not leaked, but how can the Paraguayan resistance forces predict the departure time and route of the transport fleet and ambush in advance near the various supply and parking ports along the line for accurate attacks?
Rodriguez thought about it and noticed an anomaly.
Those insiders who know the departure time and docking location of the transport fleet are confined to the Paraguayan army. Without the ventilation reports of internal personnel, the Paraguayan resistance forces could not accurately predict the regularity of the transport fleet's activities.
The result of the speculation is very close to the truth, but after thinking about it, there are endless phenomena of FǔBài and factional dumping in the Republic of Brazil. Many senior military and political officials have unknowingly or inadvertently leaked all aspects of information to the Han country for economic and self-interest. It can be said that in the face of the money offensive, the forces of various parties compromised and mixed the internal elements of the Brazilian Republican government, which has been corroded by the intelligence forces of Han Dynasty.
Officials and generals of the Republic of Brazil, who respect the values ​​of money and interests, are very likely to sell military intelligence inside the Brazilian Republic in order to obtain the money and possible political commitments given by the Han country.
One or more of the purchased Brazilian officials and generals transmitted the acquired fleet information to the Han side through secret channels. The Han intelligence organization then set off the transport fleet through the intelligence branch organization deployed in Paraguay. The intelligence stopped in the middle was leaked to the local resistance forces in Paraguay.
Through a secret intelligence channel throughout Brazil, China and Paraguay, the military intelligence will be transmitted from the inside out. Based on the analysis of the ability of the Chinese intelligence department to operate in Brazil and Paraguay for more than ten years, I want to achieve this. The degree is not difficult.
Roughly guessing the truth behind the attack on the transport fleet, Rodriguez was immediately vigilant, and even with the Brazilian military officer in charge of the transportation task, he also had doubts.
However, the suspicion based on speculation alone has no effect and will not have a positive effect on the operations of the frontline army of the Brazilian Republic. Therefore, despite the doubts in his heart, Rodriguez did not appear to be abnormal. Handle materials with the other party in accordance with established rules in the past.
After a busy day, all the military supplies were transferred to the port shore, and Rodriguez got up and returned to the barracks.
"General, why is the combat material shipped this time one-third less than last time?"
A middle-aged general asked into Rodriguez's room, holding a list of supplies, and asked.
"Asuncion is fighting fiercely, and the combat materials are extremely consumed. Therefore, the central government decided to divert some of the military supplies scheduled to be supplied to us for use by the Asuncion front."
"But our army's supply of combat materials is also very tight. One month ago, Rio de Janeiro has reduced the amount of military supplies to our army by a quarter, and now we have to remove another third to supply Asuncion.
General! Because of inadequate living and military supplies, frontline troops have seen more than 20 raids against Paraguayan villages.
If the central government keeps messing around like this, our army's continuous combat capability will probably be greatly weakened! The morale of the army will also suffer a major blow! "
Major General Mahieel, chief of staff of the Paraná front, said: "It is necessary to reflect to Rio de Janeiro the current difficulties our army is facing, and there must be no further reductions in military supplies. Otherwise, this battle cannot be fought."
"Rio de Janeiro also has their difficulties. The Asuncion front was the main direction of the Paraguayan war. The fighting there was more fierce than the Parana River front. They did need more military supplies."
Rodriguez explained: "As long as we win Asuncion, we will increase our odds by half in this war and give priority to the supply of military supplies to Asuncion. There is essentially no problem.
Of course, the role of the Paraná river front can not be ignored. Without the Han team that is flanked by our army and delayed in the direction of Encarnacion, it is not easy for Asuncion to win the final victory.
Therefore, for the military supplies that I should fight for, I will fight for Rio de Janeiro. When it is time to make concessions for the sake of the overall situation, we must make concessions more generously. "
Rodriguez patiently appeased his chief of staff, and then continued: "The current military material reserves are sufficient to support our army in maintaining a medium-scale battle for a week of war consumption, and to transfer some military materials to Asuncion, and to our army. The current frontline situation has no effect, and one week later, if UU reads www.uukanshu.com, if the fighting stalemates, our army can also apply to Rio de Janeiro for new ammunition and supplies. "
"Observe, General."
Mathiere sighed, but reluctantly accepted Rodriguez's persuasion.
"Okay, don't worry about logistical issues. Let's put our minds on the front line and pay attention to the march of the advance troops."
With a smile on his face, Rodriguez asked, "Where has Major General Turturio's ninth division traveled? How far is it from Villarrica?"
"General Returio called back an hour ago and said that the Ninth Division is currently staying in Mauricio County for repairs. They are about three hours away from Villarrica."
"Call back General Returio and give the Ninth Division two hours of trimming and dwell time. After two hours, leave immediately for Villarrica. Make sure that the Villarrica train station is in the hands of the advance troops. "
"Yes, General!" ...
