Dominate the Country

The guerrillas are now outside the small port of Ube. This port is the ultimate channel for La Paz to plunder resources and transport them abroad. It is an amphibious dock. Because of its high importance, the Spanish defense is extremely strict.

Wang Ping's initial idea was to sneak up and fire a flying thunder cannon - in such a difficult situation, the guerrillas can only guarantee a simple and light flying thunder cannon in terms of heavy weapons. Then set up a blocking position on the road outside the town, and beat the enemy hard when they rush out of the town to chase. As a result, the scouts found that there seemed to be a little more ships at the Ube dock tonight.

...

Chen Ming in Nanjing City certainly didn't know what Wang Ping, an inconspicuous little man, did in the war. He was now holding the news just sent back by the European Office and scolding Napoleon as a pig.

This is really a god-like confidence.

Use deception to control the Spanish royal family, and then immediately make your brother the king of Spain? Napoleon is really a good brother who treats his relatives without hesitation.

He didn't care about the emotions of the Spanish people at all. He played with the dignity of the Kingdom of Spain, which hurt the feelings of the Spanish people. Did he think that the people would let him play with them?

Napoleon was also a man who came out of the French Revolution. He should understand the power of the people. When the revolution just started, hundreds of thousands of foreign intervention troops came in overwhelming numbers. What did the French rely on to resist their offensive and finally turn defeat into victory? That was the tens of thousands of ordinary people in France.

The Spanish Bourbon royal family was so naive that they fell into the trap, so that Napoleon got the Iberian Peninsula without firing a single shot. It all went too smoothly. It was so smooth that Napoleon forgot everything.

When Chen Ming cursed Napoleon as a fool, he was also cursing Carlos IV of Spain in his heart. Compared with Napoleon, this was the number one stupid pig in the world.

Although the news Chen Ming received only went so far, Chen Ming still didn't know what troubles Napoleon would face in the future. But "history" told him that Napoleon's big troubles had come. Although Napoleon was the master of the European continent, he defeated the armies of Russia, Austria and Prussia, which had artillery, cavalry, infantry, emperors, marshals and generals, and his words could make the borders of a great country shake on the map. He might not have looked at those "rioters" more. But in fact, it was the peasants and citizens who swarmed in Spain who first dug the grave of his great empire.

In the distant city of Nanjing, Chen Ming was angry at Napoleon's arrogance and arrogance. Even if Joseph had become the king of Spain a year later, Napoleon's situation would have been much better. But now everything is moving towards the old path of the original time and space.

Chen Ming didn't intend to try to stop Napoleon when he attacked Russia. China would take the opportunity to intervene in Russia's disaster. But judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for Chen Ming to stop Napoleon.

Chen Ming did not know Napoleon's true thoughts, and did not understand his eagerness to integrate the whole of Europe. If Chen Ming resolutely dissuaded Napoleon, he might be regarded by Napoleon as having bad intentions. Moreover, Chen Ming did not know the trouble Napoleon was facing now, and the Russians were going to regret it.

Austria, a traditional European power, was deeply hurt by the humiliating defeat in the previous war against France. After the Austrian army recovered its strength, Franz II hoped to retaliate against France. He had been ready to move before, but he was frightened by Napoleon's army. Now Napoleon needs to transfer his 200,000 experienced veterans in Germany and Italy to suppress Spain. He needs Alexander I to put pressure on Austria at the Russian-Austrian border. If the two countries go to war, it would be even better. But Alexander I is unwilling to go to war with Austria.

Napoleon has already had the idea of ​​destroying Russia in his heart, but his main focus now is to suppress Spain and drive out the British who landed in Portugal.

However, for China now, the most important thing is the war in South America. While launching an offensive against Colombia on land, the warships and garrisons of the American fleet gathered on the east coast of Mexico and the southeastern waters of North America, and also launched a fierce attack on the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean.

Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is an offensive base for Chen Han to seize the Caribbean. It is as close to Cuba as the Florida Peninsula in the southeast corner of North America is to Cuba.

These two peninsulas wrap around the Gulf of Mexico like a pair of gatekeepers, corresponding to the Caribbean Sea.

The garrison's offensive against the Caribbean Sea was indeed launched from these two peninsulas.

Let's not talk about the situation on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is far more chaotic than the Florida Peninsula. The garrison's clearing war has never stopped in these years.

Just like Chen Han would send "special envoys" to the Spanish hinterland, the Spanish were not fools who would only take a beating and not fight back. They also sent many people into Mexico to contact the local resistance forces, send arms supplies, and send junior officers with certain combat experience.

Therefore, although the Yucatan Peninsula is now heavily armed, the war here is still unstoppable. The two sides are too close.

And since the battle on land has not been completely eliminated, the garrison troops' actions are also slower than those on the Florida Peninsula.

In order to deal with the threat posed by the Florida Peninsula, the Spanish began to reinforce Key West on a large scale two years ago, turning this small island into a good maritime fortress.

Key West is about 15 miles long, 6.5 miles wide, and only about 2 meters above sea level. It has a tropical maritime climate with frequent hurricanes in summer. However, these shortcomings do not hinder its huge strategic value under the current situation.

Because this small island is only 400 miles from the Florida Peninsula to the northeast and 340 miles to the southwest from Havana, the capital of Cuba. Under the current situation, its strategic position can be imagined.

With this island, Havana has a solid shell. Spain's American Fleet also gathered considerable strength in the Caribbean. There are at least ten main battleships, coupled with many times the number of small and medium-sized battleships, forming a large iron chain network relying on the colonies they have operated in the Caribbean for hundreds of years. After all, if the Chinese fleet wants to go south, it must pass through the Caribbean Sea.

But in fact, the Spaniards invested more energy in the Yucatan Peninsula in Cuba's western and northern enemies. Don't look at the fact that they invested heavily in building the naval base in Key West.

No matter how expensive the naval base in Key West is, it is just a pure financial investment, but Spain's investment in the Yucatan Peninsula is huge and unimaginable. Not only do they have to worry about the survival of the resistance there, but they also have to calculate the 'rewards' they receive.

Take Namerida, for example. This city built by the Spaniards on the basis of the Mayan city Teo is the political center of the entire Yucatan Peninsula. Even if the Yucatan Peninsula fell into the hands of China, Merida's political status remained unchanged.

Port Pugang in the north of the city, also known as Port Progreso in the Spanish era, is one of the most important ports on the Yucatan Peninsula and is now the home port of the Gulf of Mexico Squadron of Chen Han's American Fleet.

There are at least five resistance guerrillas controlled by the Spanish who are active around Merida. One of their biggest and most important tasks is to attack everything between Merida and Pugang.

Many materials are not transported from Merida to Pugang, but to Pugang, which is very convenient for sea transportation.

Just as Watteau was planning to attack Ubbe, a guerrilla group composed of white descendants and mixed-race people, led by a Spanish officer, was ambushing in the mountains not far from Pugang. Their target was a convoy coming out of Po Port.

The ambush point is only ten or twenty miles away from Pugang, which is not far away for the cavalry battalion in Pugang. But the Spanish officers still took the risk and brought their team here. The war had already started for more than half a year, and the Spanish colonies on the frontal battlefield were retreating steadily. They could only probably play the trick of exchanging space for time again. As a patriot who would not come to the Yucatan Peninsula to lead the guerrillas without being patriotic, all Watto could do was seize every opportunity desperately.

"Tell everyone to lay in wait, and the business is about to begin!" Watto said happily. He didn't think about what they would do if they were chased by the Chinese after the battle started. All he could think about now was ambush the enemy. It's just that Watteau's face changed within a few minutes of being happy.

Because the convoy coming out of Pugang encountered an ambush in advance, "Someone is bolder than me?" Watto was shocked. His ambush point is only ten or twenty miles away from Pugang, which is dangerous enough. China probably wouldn't have thought that someone would dare to cause trouble under their noses, but they didn't expect that there would be someone even closer than him to ambush.

There was a loud crackle of gunfire, and the armed guards accompanying the convoy immediately set up their weapons to fight back. After fighting for a long time, it turned out that the ambushed attackers couldn't bear it first and turned around first and went into the mountains.

These people must have ambush earlier than Watto, otherwise Watto would not have noticed at all. It's just that the combat effectiveness of these people is too weak, and there is absolutely no flying thunder cannon - this thing has a very low technical content, and the Spaniards have also learned it - this kind of guerrillas' essential home weapon for beating sap, is actually easy to use He was chased by the convoy escort force. Watteau secretly cursed "waste"! The attack failed to turn into a counterattack, this group of scum has a worrisome fighting capacity.

Subconsciously Watteau felt that there must not be an officer like him leading the guerrillas, otherwise they would not be so weak. The Yucatan area is almost a plain, with only a few hills along the coast. The enemies where the guerrillas hide are mostly in the vast tangle of grass. It was like the 'Green Shazhang' of later generations, which gave them great protection. Regardless of whether the attack was successful or failed, once the resistance forces hid in the grass, it would be difficult for the Chinese to catch them. Nor could they set fire to it without limit.

The two forces chased and escaped, but Watto secretly laughed. Although the former's combat effectiveness is somewhat useless, it is not useless.

Looking at the convoy in front of him whose guard strength had been reduced by half, Watto didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and waved people to quietly approach.

There is no need for an ambush circle, they will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. As for whether the Chinese in Pugang would rush in for reinforcements in the dark night and then encounter them, Watteau no longer considered it. Now that he has arrived in the Yucatan Peninsula, he has already had the consciousness of death. And even if he dies, he can drag the Chinese people to hell and burn a convoy of Chinese materials. This is enough.

The Spaniards are not without warriors who dare to die for their country!

When attacking a convoy, if there is an ambush circle, the most suitable method is to attack the beginning and end, and hand over heavy firepower in the middle. But now the ambush circle is no longer needed. Even if the flying thunder cannon is dug out and taken away again, it is likely that there will be no time to relocate it when it gets there. Watteau and the others could only rely on grenades and gunpowder packets.

"boom……"

Not long after, the explosion sounded violently amidst the shouts of the guards accompanying the convoy.

…

One early morning two days later, Hua Tuo, who was finally surrounded by Chen Han's pursuers on a high ground, and the last few soldiers around him were hit by a rocket. It flew up in the trench, its upper body was torn into pieces, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Spaniards really have brave people, just like those national and army soldiers and middle and low-level officers who fought bloody battles on the frontal battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War. But just like the corrupt top brass of the national army, the Spanish top brass are also completely corrupt. There is no trace of bloody courage in their bones.
