Wild North America 1846

Chapter 192 Juarez

Why the rush to declare war on Mexico?

Could it be that the Tang Kingdom is really warlike, and has developed into a war maniac without a war for two years?

But in fact, it's not
Among the top three in North America, Mexico is an out-and-out soft persimmon. Its extremely weak and corrupt rule has long been clearly seen by the Americans, so they have repeatedly attacked Mexico and succeeded repeatedly.

Datang Kingdom saw it in their eyes and was anxious in their hearts.

But at that time, the kingdom had just been established, and it was facing a possible large-scale invasion by the United States, the life and death enemy, at any time, so it could only look at this plate of fat and drool aside.

Finally, the US-Tang war ended, and North America achieved a short peace for a year and a half.

All countries are committed to restoring the post-war economy, licking the wounds left by the war, shifting the government's focus to economic construction, and creating a false situation of peaceful development.

who knows

At this time, Mexican President Santayo jumped out and frantically clamored to tear up the treaty between the two countries and return the territory within a limited time, otherwise he reserved the right to take further actions.

Don't you think it's a coincidence?

Li Cha was worried that he had no excuse to bite off a large piece of meat from Mexico, and the pretext for war was brought to his lips, and it was the Mexicans who frantically tried to provoke the Tang Kingdom, it was God's will!
If he doesn't make a quick and forceful war response, Li Cha will be made to cry by himself.

This war must be fought, and it must be fought early, and fought hard, taking advantage of Mexico's serious injuries and bullying it fiercely, catching soft persimmons and pinching them desperately, probably that's what it means.

Li Cha sat high on his horse, watching with a graceful expression the vanguard of the cavalry troops had already dispatched, marching towards the south along the railway and highway lines, singing war songs, the lineup was at its peak, and the knights were full of confidence.

He couldn't help but commented; "The morale of the soldiers is very high, and victory in this battle can be expected."

Lieutenant General Dai Changfu, the Army Chief of Staff beside him, complimented with winking; "I have fought many battles with His Majesty in the Southern and Northern Wars, and my sons and daughters are all very excited. Our Tang Kingdom has a strong army and horses, and it is all thanks to His Majesty."

"Well, this time I arranged for you to sit in the Rio Rancho Fortress. There are two main things for me. One is to hurry up and build the logistics supply road going south to Juárez. The second thing is to hurry up and train recruits. 2 At the end of the month I will see the first recruits arrive in Juárez."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter how courageous I am, I will not dare to miss His Majesty's important affairs."

"That's good, you guys stay in the country and pay more attention, especially that side..."

Li Cha pointed to the east with his finger, which is the direction of the United States. Lieutenant General Dai Changfu, Earl Kahn, Earl Harry Frazier, and Earl George Rabiot all clasped their fists in response;
"My minister would like to obey the holy edict."

Li Cha nodded, lightly tapped the horse's belly with both feet, and steered the mount forward, followed by a large group of people behind him, marching southward with flags flying all the way.

Juarez is an important town in the north of Mexico. It is located more than 10 kilometers south of the border between the Kingdom of Tang and Mexico and 500 kilometers away from the Rio Rancho Fortress.

Juarez belongs to the state of Chihuahua, with a population of about 11.7. It is located on the southern border of the Mexico Province of the Kingdom of Tang, on the south bank of the Rio Grande, with a flat terrain and an altitude of 1160 meters.

The annual average temperature is 15-20℃, the annual precipitation is less than 250 mm, and the climate is arid. It is a traditional cotton and wheat planting area.

during the mexican war
The war mainly broke out in the eastern and central parts of Mexico, and did not spread to Chihuahua, so Juárez was not affected by the war, and it was still peaceful and peaceful.

Early 1850
There are some well-informed upper-class people and businessmen in Juarez who know the news that the Tang Kingdom has declared war on Mexico.

In panic, they planned to sell the properties and fields owned by the family, and fled south with their gold and silver, to Mexico City and other central cities to escape the war.

in the north american continent

The ferocity of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom is well-known. The Northwestern states of the United States and the Great Lakes region have repeatedly suffered wars and suffered unprecedented catastrophe.

It is an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten rooms are empty in the originally prosperous towns, but seven out of ten rooms are basically in line with the facts. The industrial, agricultural and animal husbandry production in the Great Lakes region has been severely hit, and more than 170 million people have fled.

It has been almost two years since the end of the war, and the Great Lakes region has not recovered its pre-war prosperity. It can be seen how badly it has been ravaged by the war?
The Americans have suffered a lot from it, so aren't the Mexicans afraid?

The answer is clear.

However, the news from Mexico City was flying all over the sky, and many contradicted themselves. Some said, "I will call you soon", and some said, "The road is being repaired, so I won't be able to call for a while."

think about it too
From the Rio Rancho Fortress to the south to Juárez, there is a distance of more than 500 kilometers between the two places, and there are no decent towns in between. There are arid grasslands, mountains and Gobi Desert along the way. world.

If the Tang Kingdom's army goes south, it will definitely need logistics!

The road hasn't been repaired yet, so it shouldn't be able to get through for a while.

Under this kind of fluke thinking, except for a very small number of smart people, most of the upper class figures and wealthy businessmen in Juárez are distressed that the large amount of land and houses in their hands cannot be sold, which delays it.

Speaking of which, they also suffered disasters. Who would have thought that the originally good peace would be suddenly broken by the hot-headed Mexican President Santayo?

Don't say it, it's all tears!

Nov. 1850, 2

ten o'clock in the morning

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. On the endless grasslands outside Juarez, black cavalry appeared, rushing towards Juarez like dark clouds.

The Orientals are coming!
Run! ! !

This frightening news spread quickly, and the originally peaceful city of Juárez immediately became agitated. Countless people rushed out of their homes and fled south with their carriages, cattle and sheep.

No one in the whole city thought of organizing defenses, and opened it completely undefended to the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom. Driven by extreme fear, everyone had only one thought in their hearts;
Run away as fast as you can.

Looking down from the air, the cavalrymen of the Tang Kingdom are like a huge crab claw, spreading along the endless grassland, wrapping the city of Juárez on the left and right, and then gradually closing...

The advance speed of the cavalry was not fast, and it took more than two hours to slowly surround the city.

Li Cha rode his horse with a stern face. Beside him were countless cavalry stretched out to the two wings. Everyone had extremely excited expressions on their faces, but they were forced not to rush out by the officer, and they all looked like It looks uncomfortable.

Over the years
Li Cha has already trained his army into a group of bloodthirsty wolf cubs. They are very aggressive when they hear the battle. They are the most powerful army on the North American continent.

Sitting on the horse, Li Cha pointed forward with the whip in his hand, and said to the four colonel officers beside him;
"Remember, you need to use your brain to fight.

The Mexicans would never have imagined that we would lose all our logistics and come across the wilderness, and this would catch them by surprise.

The cities of the Mexicans are our campsites, the food, cattle and sheep of the Mexicans are our logistics, and the Mexican women are the lowly maidservants who warm their beds. What kind of logistics does my army need?
You must know that panic will spread. If you press your speed, most of the Mexicans will escape from the city. This will greatly reduce the trouble for us to completely rule the city, and it will also greatly reduce casualties.

You must be clear in your heart that the conquered land will be the territory of the Tang Kingdom in the future. I don't want too many Mexicans here.

Since they escaped from the city, that's fine, and don't come back in the future. "

The four colonel officers beside Li Cha had solemn faces, they nodded frequently when they heard His Majesty's instructions, and listened carefully to the instruction.

they know;

This is His Majesty teaching them the secret of commanding the army. This is a rare and precious opportunity.

During this thousand-mile raid, Li Cha led a total of 1.7 troops, including [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry infantry, all of whom were veterans who had endured bloody battles.

The whole army is divided into 4 divisions, plus a command headquarters that Li Cha personally sits in. The command headquarters is mainly composed of more than a thousand royal guards cuirassiers.

The designations of these four divisions are the first, second, third and fourth cavalry divisions of the Datang Kingdom. One heavy machine gun company, 12 storm-type heavy machine guns, one field artillery company, twelve 9-pound guns, and an establishment of 4200 people

The cavalry divisions organized in this way are extremely mobile, and the division commanders are colonel officers, with the ability to fight in a single direction. Each cavalry division is an independent combat unit, and it is a means of attack specially prepared for the Tang-Mo war.

To deal with a large army like Mexico, there is no need for a large army to march in as a whole. That would be a waste of military power, a waste of time, and much less efficient.

Spread out the 4 cavalry divisions in your hand, and each cavalry division can occupy cities like Juárez. As for the rear roads, it is enough to slowly repair them. After the repairs are completed, the trained recruits will come up to further consolidate the occupation of these Mexican cities. .

This step-by-step process will soon erode the land of several states in northern Mexico...

Given the urgency and corruption of the Mexican government, it will be impossible to organize an effective counterattack within at least two to three months.

This time
It was the carnival of the army of the Tang Kingdom, expulsion...occupation...expulsion...reoccupation...and so on.

Facing a big opponent like Mexico, Li Cha finally had the opportunity to use the knife. Of course, he would not be polite, and he would definitely cut off a large piece of flesh from Mexico.

If this good opportunity is not seized now, it may be difficult to have an excuse to go to war against Mexico in the future.

You can't expect a well-trained dog to bark its teeth at you again. The world powers are not idlers. There will always be people who can't see it and will point fingers, so the opportunity should not be missed.
