Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 73: Captive Dartini

In the cold wild mountains, a long army entered the avenue between the two mountains.

Thirty thousand people under Hudatinini are Pedro's siege forces. The troops are better equipped than normal places, but they are slightly inadequate compared to the re-armed Chinese Independent Army field forces.

As Peruvian President, Pedro wanted to maintain a huge army. The huge military expenditure prevented him from purchasing military equipment on a large scale. Therefore, of the 30,000 Peruvian army, there were 2,000 cavalry units and small artillery.

This night's sneak attack on the Chinese Independent Army, Dardini brought out 20,000 soldiers, and the remaining 10,000 remained in Arequipa to consolidate the newly recovered lost ground.

Baudinardi led two thousand cavalry troops in the middle of the unit. At this time, a series of smoke-made earthen grenades were thrown into the Peruvian army.

The grenade has a long history, first invented by the Chinese.

火 Grenades containing black powder appeared in Europe in the 15th century, when they were mainly used for fortifications and prisons.

中 In the mid-17th century, some European countries were equipped with field grenades in their elite troops, and soldiers specially trained to use this ammunition were called grenadiers.

By the 19th century, with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive warfare, grenades were once coldly treated.

手 In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, grenades played another role on the battlefield. In the First World War, grenades were widely used due to the rise of the trenches.

The grenade used by the ambushed Peruvian army was ordered by Li Mingyuan to be urgently processed from the Arequipa military factory.

In Li Mingyuan's original plan, he wanted to customize grenades from Western countries, but after discussing with Liu Pu and others, Li Mingyuan decisively gave up the idea.

Because the grenade is simple to manufacture, it only needs three parts: gunpowder, iron shell and fuze. Any small arms workshop can complete the grenade manufacturing.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Army used the same principle to pack gunpowder in an iron coffin and bury it under the city wall to blow up the city wall.

After listening to Liu Pu's explanation, Li Mingyuan also recalled that when the Chinese New Year in the countryside, many children took apart the firecrackers they had picked up, and the gunpowder was poured into a small iron box, and then the firecrackers were ignited with a large firecracker core. small.

The grenade used this time is made of black powder. Compared with grenades made of high-performance explosives, there is a slight gap.

After this grenade explodes, it is generally divided into seven or eight shards. It is difficult to directly kill the enemy, but it can cause considerable damage to the enemy and temporarily cause the enemy to lose combat capabilities.

The smoking grenades caught the attention of the Peruvian soldiers. Several curious Peruvian soldiers just picked up the grenade thrown under their feet and heard a loud explosion, then fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.

With the explosion of the first grenade, dozens of miles of Peruvian army continuously exploded.

The roar of thunder stunned the two thousand cavalry of the Peruvian army. Dartini's war horse was frightened, suddenly leaped forward, and turned Dartini off the horse.

Fortunately, the guards around him were stunned and pulled out Datinni, otherwise Datinni might become the first Peruvian general to die under the horse.

The grenade was thrown by the Chinese troops ambushing on the mountainside. Three thousand soldiers each threw five grenades. The fifteen thousand grenades were thrown in two minutes, immediately disrupting the formation of the Peruvian army.

The reconnaissance battalion and special battalion were deployed in the central area of ​​the ambush. After the grenade was thrown, 600 soldiers from the special battalion and battalion appeared from the hiding place and rushed to the mountain road.

秘鲁 While the Peruvian soldiers were still stunned, they rushed to them and used the rifle and sword they carried to kill the enemy in front of them.

The Shan Chinese Independent Army chose to ambush the mountain road, which is about 400 meters wide. Among them, the Peruvian army lined up 30 people per line and traveled within 100 meters of the center of the mountain road.

The roads within 100 meters on both sides of Laoshan Road are rugged and full of rubble, which not only makes it difficult for the Peruvian army to march, but also hinders the speed of the Chinese independent army's attack.

The special forces soldiers are good at camouflage and concealment. They used the cover of megaliths and pits to avoid the search of Peruvian security soldiers. Therefore, when they cut the Peruvian army in two, the Chinese soldiers lying on the mountainside had not washed down the hillside. .

After the initial strike of the Chinese Independent Army, the Peruvian army quickly responded. At the interface cut by the special forces, the two front and rear Peruvian forces assembled five or six hundred soldiers to attack the special forces.

的 The mountain road occupied by the special brigade and the investigation battalion is about 300 meters long. The soldiers of the special battalion are responsible for the Peruvian soldiers on the east side of the mountain road, and the investigation battalion is responsible for the Peruvian army on the west side of the mountain road.

"Bang," one hundred rifles fired at the same time, and the Peruvian army attacking the detection camp immediately dropped sixty or seventy soldiers. The Peruvian army's offensive formation was relatively concentrated. The first round of firing caused the front soldiers to fall by a small percentage. ,

But these Peruvian soldiers seem to suddenly become brave, stepping on the dead dead Peruvian soldiers in front, and continue to rush forward,

"The first row of gunners crouched, and the second row of guns fired."

The Chinese officer who commanded the battle issued the order calmly and calmly. The fired musketeer quickly crouched down, lowered the musket in his hand, and took out the grenade carried in his waist.

Special forces soldiers charge forward, it is not convenient to carry heavy weapons,

In order to avoid casualties, Li Mingyuan equipped each special forces soldier with ten grenades. As long as the special forces soldiers were three minutes behind the Peruvian army, the Chinese troops on the mountainside could rush to the battlefield and complete the combat purpose of surrounding the Peruvian army.

The Independent Chinese Army ambushes 20,000 people, and although the number of Peruvian troops is less than Li Mingyuan's estimate, to eat them all, the Chinese Independent Army also has to pay some price.

Therefore, in Li Mingyuan's plan, the special forces attack was used to divide the Peruvian army into two parts, concentrated the superior forces to eat the Peruvian army in front, and let the Peruvian army behind.

Twenty-three rounds of muskets were fired, and the Peruvian army attacked within 50 to 60 meters of the soldiers of the battalion. At this time, the soldiers of the battalion also had a dozen casualties.

"Leave," a command, the reconnaissance battalion commander threw a grenade, and then the "咻咻" sound passed into the ears of the attacking Peruvian soldiers.

The sound of "Booming" continued on the mountain road more than 100 meters. After the sound, none of the Peruvian soldiers attacking in front of the detection camp could stand up again, all lying on the ground in pain and screaming.

的 The blocking of special squadrons and reconnaissance battalion soldiers earned time for the Chinese soldiers on the mountainside.

When the Peruvian army opposite the investigation camp organized another attack, the Chinese soldiers on both sides of the mountain had rushed to the mountain road.

With the Chinese soldiers killing the mountainside, Chi Zhentian's shouting and killing sound passed into the ears of the Peruvian army. Looking out, there are countless Chinese soldiers on both sides of the mountain road.

暗 It was dark at midnight, and the Peruvian soldiers who were rushing on the mountain road only thought that the mountains and fields were all Chinese troops. The courage to be attacked by the officer with a gun just disappeared in an instant, and they turned around and retreated.

"The general is still in the siege of the rebels and is not allowed to retreat." Commanding the offensive reconnaissance camp was a subordinate of Datini's relatives. Seeing more and more rebels, he hurriedly yelling with a short gun in his hand. .

The sound of gunfire exploded on Laoshan Road, and the Peruvian soldiers retreating in front could not hear the commander's shout and continued to retreat.

"Bang bang" a row of muskets fired at the retreating Peruvian soldiers, and immediately fell a soldier.

"Hold me up, don't rescue the general, you're all done." After a while, the Peruvian officer waving his short gun was screaming frantically. Suddenly he shot at him, and the Peruvian officer immediately lost his voice, straight Fell down.

He fired the shot at a platoon leader of the investigation camp. The yelling of Peruvian officers revealed his identity, which led to his life ending early.

"It's beautiful ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ I will give you credit after the battle." The head of the investigation camp happily patted his shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you, camp leader." The Chinese platoon leader smiled thickly.

I lost the officer's command, and the Peruvian soldiers who did not want to desperately had no concerns at all. They no longer considered Dardini who was trapped in the encirclement of the Chinese troops and spread his legs to retreat.

The Peruvian army formed a long line of more than twenty miles. When the army was hit by the Chinese Independent Army in the front, many soldiers in the back did not enter the ambush circle.

的 The Peruvian soldiers who fleeed in the front disrupted the formation of the army behind. Many Peruvian soldiers retreated following the exaggerated news from the fleeing soldiers.

Then the Peruvian soldiers who could not understand the truth of the Chinese troops were wrapped and carried back. By the time the news came to the Peruvian officer commanding behind the town, Dardini had become a prisoner of war of the Chinese Independent Army.

Although the Chinese Independent Army of the Qiang National Army searched for a lot of warhorses, it was natural that the more horses and horses, the better, as they had to go through thousands of kilometers.

丁 Datinny, whose life was saved by his men, did not escape the fate of being captured. When the two thousand Peruvian cavalry entered the ambush circle, they were noticed by the ambush forces.

After the battle began, many Chinese soldiers rushed to the Peruvian cavalry first. The narrow mountain roads were not suitable for the cavalry. With the violent explosion, most of the Peruvian cavalry lost control of the horse.

Therefore, the Chinese soldiers who rushed down the mountainside did not face the charging Peruvian cavalry at first, but the war horses running back and forth stunned by the explosion.

I took control of the surviving Peruvian cavalry. Dartini was surrounded by a group of Chinese soldiers in a small space. Dartini, who knew the current affairs, had no choice but to die gloriously. He decisively declared his identity to the Chinese soldiers, and then dropped his arms and surrendered.
