Ming Zuo

Wu Zhikui is not a person who follows the rules and follows the rules.

Although it was discussed with Yang Yunsheng before, one south and one north will attack the governorate of New Spain.However, after fully studying the terrain of Central America, Wu Zhikui discovered that it is far less labor-intensive to go around and outflank than to push all the way.

The topography of Central America determines that once the Spaniards are circumvented, they will only have one fate of being eaten, and there is no way to get rid of their difficulties.

But the Beiyang Fleet has already set off. Does the No.12 Division have enough ships to transport soldiers?
In fact, not only that, but many more.

After more than ten years of development in North America, various industries have blossomed everywhere.

Especially the shipbuilding industry is very prosperous.

After all, the west coast of North America is full of high-quality wood, and natural harbors are everywhere, so the establishment of a shipyard is a matter of course.

For this reason, the country has supported 100 skilled craftsmen and more than [-] ship engineers.

Even because the shipyard here is newly built, the steamship is simply launched directly.

It's just that these ships have not been fully certified and cannot be issued to the Navy for the time being.

But the merchants didn't care. The faster speed of steamships best met their needs, so they bought a lot of them.

In this way, there are all kinds of steamships and wooden sailboats in North America, and it is no problem to make up a thousand ships.

Wu Zhikui decided to take a risk.

He sent the 48th by boat around the California peninsula and landed suddenly at Mazatlan.

Although there are Spanish defenders here, there are only more than 700 people.Facing the attack of more than 5000 people from a regiment of the National Defense Forces, how can it resist it?

Not only was more than half of them wiped out, all the materials were also seized by the 48th regiment.

Well now, the 48th doesn't even need supplies from the rear.

Gonzalez was shocked when he learned that the backyard was on fire, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurried back to the teacher for rescue.

Hou Fanglai, who was in charge of commanding the 48th Regiment, was a bold man who never thought about defense at all.

Leaving a battalion to guard against possible enemies from the south, he personally led the main force north to meet Gonzales.

Just in the rugged and muddy narrow area by the sea, the 48th Regiment was brave and fearless, and gave the Spaniards an unforgettable lesson head-on.

With more than 700 troops, they defeated [-] Spanish troops. Even Gonzales was shot and injured, and lost his ability to command.

The way of retreat was cut off, followed by pursuers, and the Spaniards collapsed.

The remnants of the defeated generals fled into the mountains one after another, hoping to find a way to escape.

However, there are Indians persecuted by them all over the mountains.

These Indians lost their homes and lived a hard life hiding in the mountains. It is conceivable that they hated the Spaniards.

When the Spaniards were strong in the past, they had no choice but to wash their faces with tears.Now the Spaniards are panicked like bereaved dogs, and the Indians have finally found a chance for revenge.

They blocked all the wells along the way, ambushed traps on the road, poisoned the food, and fired cold arrows from the dense forest from time to time.

The Spaniards suffered a great crime, and more than 50 people were killed or injured after only walking more than 400 miles.

The Indians didn't fight them head-on, they just kept harassing them.The local tribal chief also sent someone to contact the National Defense Forces to help guide the way, which greatly facilitated the pursuit of the National Defense Forces.

Three days later, the remaining more than 3000 Spanish soldiers were besieged in a mountain depression.

By this time Gonzalez had already died of his injuries.

The leaderless Spaniards looked at the eager Indians, all terrified, and hurriedly surrendered to the Wehrmacht.

The fighting on the Western Front ended so simply.

But the fighting on the Eastern Front was no trouble.

Yin Yuchun led his troops to the outskirts of San Antonio, and exchanged fire with Spanish reconnaissance troops more than ten times.

And these more than ten times of confrontation made the Spaniard doubt his life.

They didn't win even once.

The strategic space is completely compressed by the National Defense Forces, and the battlefield is completely dark.

Yin Yuchun threw cavalry on the battlefield.

These cavalry were trained by recruiting local warriors after transporting the war horses from Middle Earth.Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with those cavalry divisions, it is still enough to deal with pure infantry Spaniards.

Fifteen days later, all of San Antonio's perimeter was lost, and the Wehrmacht completed the siege.

Not only that, but the highlands northwest of the city also fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht.

The soldiers carried people on their shoulders, sent the heavy artillery up, and bombarded the city from a high position.

The narrow San Antonio couldn't stop such fierce artillery fire, and large areas of houses and city walls were bombed down.

Seeing that the situation was over, Commander Salmados decided to break out.

For the Spaniards, this is definitely a road of blood, tears and death.

When they came out of the city, they encountered ruthless firepower from the National Defense Forces.Almost every meter forward, someone fell down.

In order to go home, the Spaniards were also very brave, and finally broke through the encirclement of the Wehrmacht.

But what awaited them was not happiness, but the trampling and crushing of the cavalry of the National Defense Forces.

The Spaniards were completely confused, and everyone began to disobey the command and just ran away on their own.

The team was in a mess, everyone wanted to escape the pursuit of the horses, so that the great plain was full of people.

The infantrymen of the Wehrmacht who came afterward spent three days and three nights just to collect the prisoners, which was more tiring than fighting.

The two armies carefully prepared by Alves lasted for only half a month before being ruthlessly wiped out by the National Defense Forces.

When Mexico City received the news that the Viceroyalty of New Granada had also been attacked, there was a sense of desperation.

"Go, Mr. Governor, there is no hope."

Alves stood beside Rodriguez and advised him sincerely.

Rodriguez had red eyes and a sad expression.

"Where are we going? If New Spain is lost, can New Granada be held? What about the other colonies? Even if we return to Spain, do we still have a future?"

Everyone understands that when they are sent to the colonies, it is tantamount to losing everything in the country.

Just going back like this means that you will be reduced to mud and dust, and your life will be miserable.

"Look at the appearance of these people. Their relatives have not returned yet? How many broken families are here!"

This time Spain came out in full force, and all the troops that could be requisitioned were used.

It can be said that every family here has relatives in the army.

Annihilation of the entire army in World War I means that every family has lost their loved ones.

A family with a large population is better off, but a family with a small population is tantamount to losing its backbone.The fate that awaits them in the future is self-evident.

But what about Alves?
"At the very least, we have to be alive, as long as we are alive, there is hope."

In the end, he convinced Rodriguez.

The desolate Spanish colonists no longer had the vigor to come to America. They packed up their belongings one after another and boarded the fleeing sailboats.

One last look at the looted wealth and homes, slowly disappearing at sea level.

The Viceroyalty of New Spain in Spain was completely captured by the Empire.
