Chapter 456: untitled

At 3:48 pm on September 14, 1889, Zhang Wenlian, head of the First Mixed Brigade, led the troops to the Villarrica train station.
More than an hour later, at 4:46 pm, Major General Turio's ninth division headquarters appeared on the avenue two kilometers away from the small town of Mbokayadi.
At 5:07 p.m., the Brazilian army crossed the barricades of the Han forces with tree branches and rubble, and approached 600 meters in front of the Mbokayadi defense position.
"The Han army should have just occupied Villarrica, and their engineers are building fortifications at the forward positions."
Major General Turturio observed the scene on the front line of Mbokayadi through his binoculars, while arranging: "Colonel Barnett, draw a battalion from your army, The right wing of the line of defense launched an attack. Without receiving a command to stop the operation, the attacking force alone was not allowed to retreat! "
"Understanding, general, I will arrange the sixth battalion for offensive tasks."
Bamet, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 9th Division of the Republic of Brazil, pleased.
"The sixth battalion is a mixed force with black soldiers as the main body. It is most appropriate to use them to test the military deployment of the forward positions in Han."
Major General Turturio nodded, agreeing: "However, it is not too obvious to do. When the general force deployment of the Han frontier position is ascertained, the attacking force will be removed. After all, the Sixth Battalion It is also our 9th Division's army. The soldiers of the 6th Battalion suffered too much damage, and it was not good for the 9th Division. "
"Don't worry, General, there won't be a big problem."
After hearing Returio's words, Barnett made a guarantee and quickly returned to his army, then handed off the task of offensive to the second battalion of six battalions.
At 5:19 pm, after ten minutes of hurried repairs, Barnett ordered the sixth battalion of the Second Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Brazilian Republic to launch an attack on the forward position of Han.
"Bang bang z bang", when there were still more than two hundred meters from the Han frontier position, the nervous Brazilian soldiers ventured to fire.
"Keep offensive formation! Enter the leading position within 100 meters and shoot again!"
Walking behind the offensive, holding a pistol, the Brazilian officer watching the attack formation shouted.
"Captain, Captain Prudent is injured."
The loud warning from the battalion commander of the Sixth Battalion has not yet worked, but he has received bad news.
"The Han frontier did not fire back. How could Captain Prudent be injured?"
"The captain just accidentally broke his leg."
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"What a fool!"
The battalion commander of the Sixth Battalion yelled angrily, and he couldn't help himself: "I need an explanation! If Captain Prudent can't find a good excuse for his weak performance! I don't mind sending him to God in person! "
"Immediately order Captain Prudent to withdraw from the front and Lieutenant Badrov take over the command of the second company!"
"Yes, Major!" ............
At the forefront of Mbokayadi's position, the assault by the 6th Battalion of the 9th Division in Brazil, like the poor commanding ability of their superior officers, had not yet fully unfolded and suffered a complete failure.
Heavy machine gun bullets and artillery shells flew around, and the soldiers in a dense attack queue were hit by dense fire nets, like wheat ears in the wind.
At 5.40 pm, Major Sixth Battalion Commander De Moles Barros, who had been standing in the safest position on the battlefield to direct the soldiers' attack, returned intact, and the unlucky man who was temporarily designated as the commander of the front line The egg was hit by a heavy machine gun bullet and died on the spot.
An offensive operation aimed at testing the strength of the garrison positions at the forefront of the Han Kingdom began to turn into a side-by-side massacre. More than 400 soldiers on offensive missions killed 76 people and wounded 169. They only followed. Next to Major De Morais, more than 100 soldiers who played the role of oversight team escaped the attack and evacuated with their officers innocently.
"General, the firepower of the Han Chinese army was too strong, and the attacking troops had not been approached to the forefront, so they were beaten back."
The sixth battalion commander, Major De Moles, returned to his camp and hurried to the interim headquarters to report to Major General Turturio.
"The Han national defense has a strong firepower, and the number of soldiers used to defend Villarrica is certainly not small. It is not good to rely on 10,000 soldiers in the ninth division to attack Villarrica."
Major General Turturio watched the battle from a position not far from the front of the battlefield and witnessed the whole process from the offensive to the defeat of the Sixth Battalion. Therefore, after listening to Major Morale's report, He didn't blame each other.
"Colonel Gaspar, truthfully report the situation of the ninth division's combat with the Chinese army today to General Rodriguez and ask General Rodriguez for specific instructions and requirements for our army's next operation."
"Yes, general."
Colonel Gaspar, remembering the instructions given by Major General Returio, then asked: "It is more than half an hour before it is dark. Before dark, will our army organize another attack?"
"The defenders of the Han Dynasty have powerful firepower and the number of defenders is unknown. It is too high risk to organize the troops to launch an attack again. We do not need to do this.
"But before the advance troops set off, General Rodriguez gave you a death order. You must take down Villarrica. Now the Chinese army takes one step ahead of us and controls Villarrica in advance. If you just launch a trial Sexual offenses, and the attack on the forward positions of the Han country ceased, I am afraid General Rodriguez will not be satisfied. "
"The situation today is quite special. The army controlling Villarrica must be an elite unit in the Han army. Their fighting power and weaponry are several times stronger than the Han army we encountered ten years ago. For the elite troops to fight, you must be extra careful!
I believe that when General Rodriguez leads the main force to join us, and after seeing the combat effectiveness and firepower of the Han army opposite, I will understand why I made such a decision today. "
Major General Turturio said solemnly and righteously: "I am responsible for the lives of the 10,000 soldiers of the Ninth Division. If General Rodriguez is to be held responsible for the failure of the offensive operations, then let him find me. I am willing to replace the 10,000 soldiers of the Ninth Division and bear the responsibility of losing the entire battle! "
"You did not occupy Villarrica as planned. The main responsibility lies with you."
Colonel Gaspard flattered: "You led us all the way and marched in the direction of Villarrica. UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not delay a minute in the middle. Losing Villarrica is not your responsibility. If you really want to If we look into it, we can only blame the Han army's departure time earlier than us, and no wonder the general you. "
"Yes, General, you should explain to General Rodriguez the real reason for losing Villarrica, and you can't put all the blame on you." ...
Several credible officers began to persuade and tried their best to evade the responsibility of losing Biarica, and found various excuses. After hearing about his persuasion, Réturio was nervous because he was worried about being punished. The mood gradually calmed down.
"I did not occupy Villarrica in accordance with the combat plan formulated by General Rodriguez. I myself have a certain responsibility. The Han army set off ahead of us and occupied Villarrica in front of us. fact.
General Rodriguez did not follow the advance troops. He may not know much about the situation on the front line. Therefore, we still have to clarify the situation in both aspects to General Rodriguez, and then wait for General Rodriguez. Further instructions. ".........
