The sun never sets in America

Chapter 28
The first regiment is slowly marching in the direction of the fourth regiment...

They were supposed to arrive at the location of the Fourth Regiment and the Monte tribe two days late, but because of the complaints of Commander Ramos and the entire First Regiment soldiers against the Los Angeles bureaucrats who drove them at will... they were forced to arrive two days later. The road that can be reached has turned into a place where the fourth regiment is still not reached until the fifth day.

Of course, Captain Ramos, who was leisurely looking at the scenery while riding on his horse, and the officers of the first regiment who were carefree and even whistled would not have thought... In just five days, not only would they need The Fourth Regiment has lost all cooperation, and even Los Angeles has been occupied by Liujiabao... I wonder when Ramos and these officers of the First Regiment saw the Fourth Regiment station occupied by the Liujiabao Indian Battalion, and those artillery fires How will you feel about the traces left behind...

"Brothers, hurry up..." Captain Ramos, who was riding on the horse, turned to Captain Kurt who was riding beside him and ordered, "After all, if we don't speed up our pace, our dear friends of the Fourth Regiment will curse. Haha..." In front of all the officers of the first regiment, Ramos made a joke about the fourth regiment waiting for their first regiment. In the end, even Ramos himself couldn't bear it. Zhu burst out laughing.

"Ha ha……"

All the officers of the first regiment in the team burst into laughter after hearing this.

The laughter was filled with the most naked mockery of the fourth group waiting for them.

As for saying that they are all Mexican militia groups, they should help each other, don’t be kidding... In this war that is like an armed parade, fighting alone is the way to go. As for cooperation, that is what cowards would do, and let others When the army joins in, it is easy for them to take away the spoils and glorious military exploits that should be theirs alone...

This seemingly war to annihilate the Indians has become a tool for some Mexican careerists to make money and get promoted. As for the teammates, they have not betrayed them, which is already very good.

This is the first regiment. The thoughts of many officers, and even Ramos himself, have been affected by this, and their actions have become more and more selfish.

bang... bang...

Just as the officers of the first regiment were talking and laughing and riding horses in the team, there was suddenly a rapid sound of horse hooves behind them.

"Who is here...is it our scout?" Ramos said with some confusion while riding on horseback, listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer behind him.

"Probably not, our scouts are in the front, not in the back." Captain Cote immediately replied to Ramos.

"Who is that?" Ramos had a confused expression in his eyes.

While Ramos was thinking, the horse behind them had already run up to them.

The cavalrymen on horseback wore the same military uniforms as themselves, but had the second mark on the cuffs.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, I am the messenger Loses of the second regiment." The messenger on the horse introduced himself to Ramos and the surrounding officers, "I am ordering the second regiment on the order of Governor Huaco Covia. A group is gathering in the direction of Los Angeles..." The messenger Losis took out an official document with the governor's seal and signed by Governor Huaco Covia from his pocket and handed it to Ramos who was also riding a horse opposite. Head of the group.

"Los Angeles has fallen..." After seeing the news and reasons for the fall of Los Angeles in the official document, Captain Ramos shouted out in shock, causing other officers to change their expressions.

"Is the Governor okay?" Ramos clutched the official document in his hand tightly, raised his head, and asked Losis with a horrified expression.

"The Governor is safe now and is protected by our second regiment." Losis replied to Ramos honestly.

"I will rush back as soon as possible..." After hearing this, Ramos said to Losico with a heavy face, and then watched Losico continue to rush towards the direction of the fourth regiment.

"Captain, what happened?" Captain Kurt waited for Losis to leave, and then carefully asked Captain Ramos what happened.

The other officers also perked up their ears, waiting for Commander Ramos to speak.

"Los Angeles was attacked and occupied by those shameless infidels from Liujiabao." Captain Ramos had an angry look on his face. He was not angry about Los Angeles' failure, but because of the infidels, and It was the Chinese who looked similar to the Indians who were angry.

In his view, as a Mexican white man, America belongs to white people, and the West Coast belongs to the great Mexican Republic. Liu Jiabao's attack on Los Angeles has been a naked challenge to the authority established by this white man...

As a vested interest in the Mexican Republic and a white man, how could he not be angry.

"Go back to Los Angeles..." Commander Ramos looked at the officers around him and ordered, "Destroy the infidels and take back Los Angeles..." Commander Ramos then raised his arms and shouted.

"Destroy the infidels and take back Los Angeles..."

Under the leadership of the officer, all the officers and soldiers of the entire first regiment of the Mexican white militia shouted this sentence.

It was so deafening that even the birds in the surrounding forest were frightened by the shouts and flew up from the branches of the trees.

It hovered over the forest, unwilling to come down for a long time.

.............................................

As messengers sent from the Naton Regiment to various parts of California arrived one after another, news of the failure in Los Angeles inevitably spread to the entire California region.

Anger and panic are two emotions intertwined in every corner of California.The radical militants chanted: "Destroy all pagans, and destroy all non-white peoples except white people."

The moderates advocate negotiation. They believe that the current policy of encirclement and suppression of Indians led to the Los Angeles incident... This inhumane war should be ended, and we should peacefully coexist with the Indians and even the Chinese who occupied Liujiapu in Los Angeles, and return to the pre-war period. state... and even advocated that a certain percentage of their taxes should be reduced, allowing the Indians and Liujiapu to re-loyalty to the Republic of Mexico.

Of course, such appeasement rhetoric inevitably draws criticism from Mexican activists.

They viewed this as sheer cowardice and a betrayal of the interests of the Mexican Republic.

Those who say these things should be hanged! !

The reaction of white Mexicans among the people was surprisingly consistent, that is, revenge.

Use the blood of the Liujiabao Chinese and the blood of the Indians to wash away the shame of the Mexican Republic and take back the city of Los Angeles that belongs to their white people.

This is the common wish of most ordinary white Mexicans.

And when the news spread more and more, the Indians throughout California who were struggling to resist the Mexican white militia groups were boiling...

In just a few days, more than a dozen tribes, large and small, living around Liujiabao agreed to Liujiabao's terms of surrender, and the number of such Indian tribes is still rising...

Even the Indian tribes far away from Liujiabao sent people to inquire about Liujiabao... Some tribes even hoped that Liujiabao would lead them to resist the rule of the white people.

He was even willing to recognize Liu Jiabao as the leader and leader of the resistance.

These good news, which are crucial to Liujiabao, are being staged every day, and are being transmitted to Liu Yan at Liujiabao headquarters, and also to Liu Peng's headquarters in Los Angeles...

In the rear, three more Indian battalions were established. In addition to the first four Indian battalions, there are now a total of seven firearms battalions composed of Indians... Although due to the short time, the combat power is not as good as the three Liu's. Directly under the Jiabao, the main battalion is composed of Chinese, but compared with the general white regiment, it is still comparable.

After the seven Indian battalions are formed, Liujiabao will not form more Indian firearms battalions in a short period of time, because the production of muskets, artillery, and even ammunition takes time... Although a medium-sized building was occupied in Los Angeles However, due to the damage caused by the Mexicans when they left, it cannot be restored in the short term... During the time that the Los Angeles Military Factory cannot be restored, it can only rely on the military workshops and ammunition workshops within Liujiabao to provide weapons. Even ammunition is supported.

However, in order to preserve the hard-won fruits of victory and his prestige in the hearts of California Indians, Liu Peng immediately formed two second-line battalions composed of cold weapons and a small number of muskets and artillery seized from white Mexicans. , such a second-line battalion... and the only difference between the second-line battalion and the main battalion is the weapons and organization.

The main battalion, that is, the first-line battalion, is mainly equipped with firearms. Except for bayonets, there are no cold weapons.

The second-line battalion was different. Swords, spears, old-fashioned matchlocks and Mexican flintlocks were mixed among them. At first glance, they looked like a miscellaneous army.

This kind of second-line battalion has a name inside Liujiabao, and that is the servant army.

Of course, including all the Indian battalions, the external name of these troops is still given a resounding title, that is, the Mighty Battalion.

It is divided into the Mighty First Battalion, the Mighty Second Battalion, and the Mighty Three Battalion. Currently, it only reaches nine. In the future, it is likely to extend to double digits as the front line lengthens. It is not impossible.

The two mighty battalions with a majority of cold weapons were also sent by Liu Peng to guard several other white towns that had just been occupied. There were only three main Chinese battalions and three newly formed mighty battalions left in Los Angeles. , and the first two mighty battalions formed while still on the road.

Just when Liu Jiabao was trying to organize his army to prepare for war, after a period of integration, the new Mexican militia coalition finally formed... The external banner was the California United Army.

There are a total of eleven white Mexican militia regiments, with a total of close to 7000 people. The number does not seem to be very large, but this is a superficial number, and throughout Los Angeles, as long as it is a white-occupied place or a white town, there are reports of recruitment everywhere. announcement of.

The war has become increasingly uncontrollable.

A war sweeping across California and even the entire West Coast is about to begin.

This war has also changed from a war to encircle and suppress the Indian tribes caused by the extermination of the Indian tribes in the small town of Wake, to a war in which all white people, Indians, and Chinese have to participate. Whether you want it or not, it has been It doesn't matter anymore.

What is important is that whether it was the Indians who were massacred, the white Mexicans who were the instigators, or even the Chinese in Liujiabao who used the Indians as a shield to fish in troubled waters.

They all have to participate in this war that they cannot avoid and cannot retreat from.

This war is getting closer and closer to what Liu Peng and Liu Yan expected before the war began.

Liujiabao also got the glory he wanted, as well as prestige in the hearts of Indians, even Los Angeles, the capital of California.

But the consequences of Liujiabao's fate are coming soon.

The real test is coming! !
