Rebirth of South America as King

After a short day of repair, at 4:00 pm on May 15, Li Mingyuan temporarily convened the city generals to convene a combat meeting to announce the follow-up strategic deployment and tactical plan.

"The three battalions of the First Mixed Brigade attached to the two brigades of the Cavalry Division and the Guard Army formed a southward column with a total of more than 30,000 troops. Starting from the city of Buenos Aires, they swept Tronclawen, Santa Rosa to the south. Wait until the enemy ’s military strength is empty, and achieve the purpose of occupying southern Argentina before early June, and then form a Patagonian garrison on the spot with Ye Chenglin, with General Li as commander of the garrison and Ye Chenglin as deputy commander. Together they have a responsibility to eliminate local rebel forces and guard against attacks by the Chilean army. "

The pointer in Li Mingyuan's hand was moved from the map to the place marked with Mar del Plata, emphasizing "the direction of Patagonia. In order to cooperate with the main forces to siege Buenos Aires, he instigated and led the horses in the past two months. Punch Indians fought more than forty times, destroyed more than 3,000 local militiamen, and occupied more than 70 armed migrant villages. Now Patagonian enemy forces have largely cowered in Mar del Plata, Puerto Blanca and the central part. The area around the three medium-sized military towns of Neuquen.

During the southward operation of your troops, you need to get in touch with Ye Chenglin's department in advance. After obtaining detailed information from the enemy forces, they will concentrate on one battle to destroy the main forces of the southern Argentina. "

"Brother Ye is familiar with the local military situation. When he is employed in Patagonia, he will seriously consult Brother Ye."

The cavalry division commander Li Dawei straightened.

"The climate in the Patagonian Plateau is cold and dry. The local Mapuche people and Alakan in the western Andes are brave and belligerent. After your ministry arrived in Patagonia, you must listen to Ye Chenglin's advice and not be overly persecuted. Indians, so as not to undermine our army's foundations of local rule. "

"His Highness rest assured that the Indians will be appeased and appeased, and they will not be disturbed by the National Defense Forces.

"In the initial occupation of the Patagonian Plateau, stability should be the main priority. When the situation stabilizes later, the government will take other measures to reduce the number of local Indians. What you have to do now is to keep Patagonia firmly in the hands of the National Defense Forces. At the same time, they are taking the opportunity to attract the Alaukans in the western Andes and expand the Defense Force-controlled area to the Pacific coast to lay the foundation for the opening of the Pacific migrant transport line! "

Li Mingyuan looked at the western coast of the Patagonia Plateau with islands and reefs on the map, and continued, "Two months ago, the Chilean government officially declared war on the National Defense Forces after Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Half a month ago, the Chilean government A small-scale unit was dispatched to cross the actual control line in Patagonia and attacked a local Mapuche tribe, which was later repelled by Ye Chenglin's Ministry. A week ago, under the pressure of the British government, Chile The government deployed two iron armored ships and five steam sail warships to form a support fleet, crossed the Strait of Magellan, and encountered confrontation with the National Defense Forces navy ...

This shows that after mobilizing domestic forces, the Chilean government is slowly gaining the initiative in the bird droppings war. Bolivia and Peru have become less and less useful in Chile. In the future, our army will face the common efforts of Britain, Brazil and Chile. Sea military pressure. "

"Ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Defense Forces navy has developed rapidly with the support of His Highness. However, compared with the British Expeditionary Fleet, Chile and Brazil, the Defense Forces navy has no advantage."

The main force of the Wehrmacht navy returned to steel to avoid the threat of the British Expeditionary Fleet. The commander of the First Fleet, Li Han, sat on the right side of the conference room and had to admit the weakness of the Wehrmacht navy.

"The world of the future is the era of the ocean. The National Defense Forces navy is the country's hope for going to the ocean. It cannot be easily sacrificed in a sea battle without a chance."

Li Mingyuan explained that the National Defense Forces navy returned to Hong Kong to avoid war, and then said, "However, the comparison of military forces at sea is not only judged by the number of warships, but also affected by military factors on land."

Li Mingyuan raised his tone and asked the attendants to change into the situation map of La Tarata, explaining, "Please see, Chile's land area is narrow from east to west and long from north to south. The core area of ​​the territory is located in a small area of ​​33 degrees south to 40 degrees south "If our army breaks through the Chilean army from the Patagonia Plateau and seizes the area south of Chivaldivia, what do you think the Chilean government will do?"

"The coastal area north of Valdivia is unguarded. If our army occupied Valdivia, it would be able to use the local railway to kill all the way to the Chilean capital Santiago. In that case, the masters of the Chilean government will not break. courage!"

A responsive officer thought optimistically.

"But the Andes are rugged and difficult. Even if it passes through the southern desert that is the easiest to pass, it will not be able to transfer too many soldiers and occupy Valdivia, so it is too risky to march to Santiago?"

Luo Linshan noticed a loophole in another officer's speech, and suggested it gently.

"Being bold is not a bad thing, of course, General Luo's worry also makes sense."

Li Mingyuan took into account the feelings of the two, and laughed, "It is really good to destroy the country in the First World War, but our army cannot reach this ability for the time being."

The occupation of Buenos Aires and the annihilation of Argentina were imminent. Li Mingyuan was not stunned by victory, and was arrogant to the point of destroying Chile.

"The purpose of the occupation of Valdivia is not to use this to enter Santiago, but to create psychological pressure on the Chilean government. Once our army has completely occupied the western part of Patagonia, it will advance to Chiloé to march to Valdivia. The government will choose to withdraw naval and army forces to counterattack our offensive and regain control of Valdivia, thereby ensuring that the core territory is not threatened by our army. "

"The Chilean maritime and army forces were relocated and the British Expeditionary Force lost the assistance of the Chilean Navy.

Wei Wei saved Zhao, and it really was a good move! "

Hu Yaji quietly patted Li Mingyuan a fart.

"How the strategy works depends on the direction of follow-up operations."

Li Mingyuan waved his hand and signaled to everyone to end the discussion of Patagonia's combat direction and tactics.

"The reinforcements in Cordoba, Argentina and Mendoza Province are less than a hundred miles away from Buenos Aires. Their troops are the last obstacle for the IDF to occupy Argentina!"

Li Mingyuan paused and suddenly said "Li Sandou, Zhao Yongzeng, Wang Xiaoshan!"

"Here!"

"Order the Second Division, the Fourth Division, the Second Mixed Brigade, the Fourth, Six, Seven, Nine, Tenth Brigade, the Second Artillery Division, the First Regiment, the Zizhong, and the Logistics Division to form the Eastward Column and appoint Li Sandou The three, Zhao Yongzeng, and Wang Xiaoshan are the commanders and deputies of the Eastward Column ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The eastward battle plan is all under the command of the three, and it is not necessary to report to the headquarters in advance! "

Li Mingyuan gave the three people the power to make ad hoc decisions. Naturally, they also gave important tasks to them.

"The main forces of the Argentine troops in Cordoba and Mendoza provinces still exist. During the advance of your ministry, you must seize the fighters and destroy the local warlords such as Urkisa outside their nests. You cannot flee them back. Military opportunity! "

"Guarantee the enemy!"

The three stood up and promised.

"The Eastward Column and the Southward Column immediately set off camp, and the rest of the troops remained in Buenos Aires, ready to stop the British troops!"

After making the final arrangements, the officer general in the conference room quickly returned to the barracks, merging their respective troops to the new battlefield, and the remaining 80,000 troops were divided into two under the command of Li Mingyuan, a 20,000 people crossed the Pakistan The Lana River is heading in the direction of Uruguay. Another 60,000 National Defense Forces are defensively deployed along the banks of the Parana River, such as Buenos Aires and Rosario, in preparation for the British Expeditionary Fleet.
