Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter 33 The Battle of Guaromai

Labour recruitment and railroad construction proceeded in an orderly manner.

The construction of the Spanish railway was bound to be stained with the blood of the Moroccans, who were unfortunate only because they were too close to Spain, not because they were weaker than the rest of Africa.

In the Caribbean, the main force of the Cuban rebels and the main force of Spain also officially fought in Guaromai.

Because of the Americans' refusal to help, it is not to blame that the Americans are not moral. In front of the Spanish regular army, the end of the rebels is already a clear future.

Cannons began to fire salvos towards the rebel positions, and Castro ordered the artillery units to use Xu Jin's barrage,

The rebels did not line up to commit suicide against the regular army like the religious rebels.

A force of 26,000 people huddled in the city, preparing for street battles with the army.

Gomez and Maceo tried to intimidate the residents of the city and threatened the regular army not to use weapons of mass destruction,

And they obviously forget why they jumped out to resist, isn't it to resist oppression and unfair treatment?

Castro directly ignored the conspiracy of the rebels and ordered the artillery to launch a barrage of Xu Jin barrage directly on Guaromai.

Guaromai is only a small town, and most of the people in the city also support the rebels. Therefore, in order to mass-kill the living strength of the rebels, Castro ignored the residents of the city without hesitation.

It would be unbearable for Castro if the damage to the regular army would be increased because he cherished the lives of the people who supported the rebels...

The power of the more than 200 ESP artillery pieces was obviously enormous, and the terrifying rate of fire was propelled by Xu Jin's barrage, and Guaymaro seemed to be pushed to the ground.

The rebels have already made preparations. Artillery and machine guns are two big killers of the regular army. It is impossible not to take precautions.

Stop the shelling, shout to the people in the city, and those who surrender can go back to their hometowns to continue living. The government has classified the colony as a province, and it will be the homeland in the future.

Castro told the adjutant that even if it has no effect, it can effectively disintegrate the enemy's will to fight.

After a while, hundreds of loudspeakers started shouting towards the city from all directions.

In the ruined city, a large number of surviving residents ran out, without weapons in their hands, but it was impossible to tell whether their real identities were rebels or civilians.

Castro also had no intention of distinguishing. In this case, the rebel commander's orders could not be penetrated quickly at all, and the people who went out and ran at this time basically belonged to the category of unintentional fighting.

Although the rebel commander in the city was annoyed by the actions of the regular army, there was no way to stop it.

After shouting for about an hour, Castro ordered the infantry to start an attack on the city.

Regular troops in black tide-like m36 uniforms began to flock to the city, and the Vielib guns were all equipped with bright bayonets.

Peng

A gunshot rang out, and a regular soldier fell to the ground forever, while the rebels who fired were disgraced and bloodstained on their bodies.

Obviously, it is impossible for 26,000 people to hide in the city unscathed. The sound of gunfire was like a signal, and gunshots began to be heard from all sides of the city.

The regular army's Maxim machine gun instantly began to suppress the fire, and the sound of the water drop-like Vieri rifle also rang out on a large scale.

In addition to being caught off guard at the beginning, the military quality and weapon advantages of the regular army are reflected.

Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, the rebels also began to fight back against the regular army.

Street fighting is one of the most tragic forms of engagement, in which regular troops, who have no knowledge of the local terrain, are most at risk of being wounded by dark guns.

For a while, the regular army did not dare to advance rashly and quickly, and could only slowly test and advance slowly.

far away,

Castro frowned as he looked at the battlefield with his binoculars.

Order the infantry to stop advancing and the artillery to continue the continuous shelling in front of our soldiers.

Castro's routine is also very simple. Since you have the terrain advantage, we will use the weapon advantage to blast all the terrain you are familiar with into ruins and craters.

At that time, the terrain advantage lies in the soldiers of the regular army.

The artillery shells poured into the rebel positions like raindrops, bombarded for more than an hour, and Guaromayi could not see the original appearance at all.

attack!

Castro waved his hand, and the adjutant immediately informed him of the order to attack.

The infantry began to advance again, and this time the resistance was obviously much easier to resolve than before.

The situation of the war began to develop in favor of the regular army, and Castro's aim was to kill the rebels on a mass scale.

If they are allowed to run away and become guerrillas scattered in various places, it is bound to have a great impact on the security and stability of Cuba.

Therefore, what the regular army adopted was to directly surround the small city, advancing from the outside to the inside, and slowly shrinking the encirclement.

Now the small town has lost its former tranquility, and the sound of gunfire and screams filled the area full of fire.

The battle is stalemate, but for the regular army, victory is nothing more than a matter of time.

Reporting after the war, Castro believed that the Cuban newspaper Le Monde would make the regular army the righteous side of the war...

The gunfire that lasted for two days gradually subsided, and the small-scale resistance groups in the city were gradually killed.

When the regular army finally surrounded the area where the rebel leader Cespedes was located, a gunshot in the basement officially announced the end of the president's life.

The last of the rebels, after Cespedes' suicide, also stepped out of the trenches with their hands held high.

Photographers accompanying the army recorded this moment, as well as tall and mighty regular soldiers.

This is the most important material for their post-war reports. On the one hand, it promotes the strength of the regular army, and on the other hand, it is also to smear the rebels.

The regular army lost about 4,000 people in this battle. No matter what the advantage of weapons is, the dead are always unavoidable.

News of the victory reached Madrid, and the papers were placed on Alfonso's desk.

The course of the war and the damage were recorded and reported to Madrid.

Alfonso flipped through the documents one by one, and when he saw the end, the pages were filled with names, which was the list of fallen soldiers.

Looking at this list, Alfonso can be described as mixed, although he knows that war can never avoid death.

Order Castro to collect the remains of the dead soldiers, complete the funeral in Cuba according to the Catholic cremation ceremony, and bring them all back to the country.

Cruelty to the Moroccans does not mean cruelty to the basic Spanish. According to the routine of reading novels in his previous life, he thought of a good way to improve the morale of the army and the people...
