Rebirth of South America as King

Both battles were defeated, damaging more than 1,000 white soldiers, the South African colonial army was almost wiped out, and only 14,000 men were left with available army forces. The 30,000 reinforcements promised by Brazil still needed a week to reach Argentina and The British army will reconcile.

Insufficient strength, Gordon can only urge the Brazilian side to speed up and get 30,000 reinforcements as soon as possible to embark on the ship to the offshore port of Buenos Aires, while ordering the British fleet that was stranded in Tigre to give up entanglement with the IDF and bypass Ti The water defense line around Gray, sailing inland along the intersection of the Parana and La Plata rivers, blocked and waited for the opportunity to occupy the town of Rosario at an early date, blocking the water supply route of the mainland of China and the Frontline Defense Forces.

At noon on May 18, more than twenty frigates and small battleships were divided into two batches, guarding more than forty transport ships and supply ships sailing in the direction of Rosario.

At 5.20 pm, when the British fleet arrived in the sea about 30 kilometers from Rosario, several deafening explosions made the British sub-fleet commander Colonel Beard's face suddenly change.

With the sound of a huge explosion, the calm water surface rolled up a wave of seven or eight meters in height. The high-impact water wave stagnated for a few seconds, and then the heavy potential energy carried dozens of tons of water and slapped it. Explosion attack on warship.

Lightning was hit and the waves were destroyed. Two successive strikes caused the two small warships sailing in the frontal waters to instantly lose their balance. More than 40 British naval soldiers were thrown out of the warship deck by the explosion and the waves set off by the explosion. Falling heavily into the rolling water.

The first wave of mine explosions achieved two sinking and one wounding results. Two British frigates with a displacement of about 1,500 tons struggled on the water for more than 30 seconds. British soldiers in the warship control room and weapon room Before recovering from the aftermath of the explosion, they were swallowed by the surging river and slowly sinking into the cool river with the warship.

The two frigates were silent, with more than two hundred naval soldiers buried on the bottom of the two warships, while the other mine-protected frigate was not silent, but the hull of the warship was severely damaged and could not continue to follow the fleet.

The tragic situation of the three mine-protection frigates is clearly shown in the eyes of Beard. Before engaging with Rosario's defenders, his fleet will pay the loss of three warships. Beard can guess that if Gordon receives his own war, Damage report, what kind of expression will it be.

The sudden mine explosion made Beard, who had just lost his battle in Tigre, even more angry and distressed.

Ordered two medium-sized frigates to salvage and rescue naval soldiers. Beard immediately issued a combat instruction, ordering four warships to be sent to perform mine clearance tasks, and other warships including transport ships, logistics supply ships, and other ships were suspended. The four forward warships eliminated the threat of mines. After that, the fleet continued to sail.

At 5.47 pm in the evening, more than sixty-seven British ships were temporarily moored on the wide surface, anxiously waiting for the news of the mine-removing ship ahead.

"Colonel, Sir Gordon's telegram!"

The communications officer ran to the deck and handed a telegram to Colonel Beard. "The Argentine interim president Urquiza was attacked by the Chinese troops during the retreat. Sir Gordon ordered the fleet to arrive in Rosario before 7 pm. Land at the port around Rosario at the latest within two days, in response to the retreat of the remaining Argentine troops! "

"Where is Agen's army now and how many troops do they have left?"

"Alvarez, about 160 kilometers from Rosario."

The communications officer recalled the contents of the telegram and quickly replied, "Last night, the Argentine troops were attacked by the Han forces, losing more than 20,000 troops, and less than 30,000 troops temporarily escaped."

"Alvarez, Rosario, Cordoba," Beard took out the march map, looked at the geographical situation of the three places, and shook his head. "The road of Urquisa to Buenos Aires is occupied The only way from Alvarez to Cordoba is through Rosario. Without occupying Rosario's defense, Urquisa cannot return to Cordoba safely. "

"The main force of the Argentine troops was damaged, and Sir Gordon ordered the colonel to give up the cover of the Argentine troops' combat mission to Cordoba in due time.

"There are mines all over the Rosario waters of the Parana River, and the fleet has lost the best time to occupy Rosario."

Beard looked down at the picture for a moment, raised his head and ordered, "Send two more warships to carry out mine-clearance missions, and change the combat target to Alvear. Each ship will perform combat preparations and leave on time!"

Accepting new combat missions, the British fleet moored and waiting quickly moved, and the six minesweepers ahead also accelerated the speed of removing mines.

At 6:17, the sun had just set down the mountain, and another warship on the vast Parana River was sunk. It paid the cost of the loss of four warships. The British fleet opened up more than ten kilometers. In the safe passage, the subsequent warships accelerated under a narrow water path under the guidance of five minesweepers.

Urquisa is so old-fashioned that he infects Argentina's political circles for decades, and tortures his old rival Mitre, but in the end he still does not escape the attack of the National Defense Forces.

When the news that Buenos Aires was captured by the National Defense Forces arrived in Urquisar, and realized that the situation was not good, Urquisar first concealed the news of the destruction of the Argentine Federation main force, and then quietly replaced the troops that took orders from him. The Argentine troops in other provinces continued to attack the National Defense Forces and made all the normal illusions. Then the same night, Urkisza prepared in a hurry with more than 20,000 troops to retreat in the direction of Cordoba, the next day In the morning, more than 50,000 National Defense Forces rushed from Buenos Aires to the fighting positions of the two sides and immediately joined the attack on the Argentine forces.

The fall of Buenos Aires, the death of Mitre, and the escape of friendly forces, one by one, bad news crushed the Argentine troops that belonged to each other. The fighting lasted less than one morning, and was abandoned by Urquisa around 12 noon. In addition to 2,000 people killed in the local Argentine army of more than 36,000, the remaining 34,000 were captured and fewer than 600 escaped.

Urquisa has certain strengths. At the same time, considering the other party ’s announcement on the way to temporarily take over the Argentine president, calling on Argentine civilians to take up arms to resist the political influence of the IDF rule, the first time that Urquisa escaped, Li Mingyuan quickly ordered the westward troops to send troops to pursue Urquiza, and he must not be allowed to escape back to Cordoba Province.

Morale was low. Most of the logistics and supplies were discarded because they were eager to escape. The Argentine army's marching speed slowed down. On the night of May 17th, during the retreat of Urquisa, it was found that the road to the army was preempted by the National Defense Forces. Kisa ordered the troops to launch three rounds of attacks, but the three rounds of attacks failed. At this time, the rear IDF troops were less than 30 kilometers away from their side. They were shocked and afraid, fearing that they had taken Mittre's rear path. Urquisa had to order the troops to abandon the attack and go to the front of Rosario, hoping to open the passage to Cordoba with the support of the British fleet.

At 8 pm on May 18, the British fleet suddenly launched an attack in the small riverside town of Alviar, 13 kilometers away from Rosario.

Ship artillery bombarded and infantry followed. More than a thousand national defense militia units lost the British offensive. After paying more than 400 casualties, they evacuated the wounded and evacuated the battlefield, giving Alviar to the British landing forces.

On the morning of May 20th, 4,000 British reinforcements came out of Alviar and attacked all the way, but they were blocked by the National Defense Forces and they were unable to meet with Urquisa.

At 3 pm on May 20, the arrogant Argentine troops were surrounded by the National Defense Forces. Two hours later, as Urquisa raised his hand and surrendered, the remaining Argentine troops gave up resistance one after another, and the British troops who lost their rescue targets were worried. Far from the fleet, under the siege of the IDF, the withdrawal and the IDF were out of contact after the last rescue attempt failed.

Urquisa surrendered, all the armed forces of Argentina died out, and the action of the National Defense Forces to occupy various parts of Argentina quickly began.

On May 20, the President of Uruguay fled the British Expeditionary Fleet. On the 21st, Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, fell. Five days later, Mercedes, who had been standing for several months, was broken, and the entire territory of Uruguay was occupied by the National Defense Forces. UU 看书 www.uukanshu.com

On July 3, after Li Dawei and Ye Chenglin occupied the Patagonian Plateau on the eastern side of the Andes, they split across the Andes and landed on the island of Quilo, quickly sweeping the weak Patagonian garrison in Chile. , Occupying the entire area south of Patagonia, including Puerto Montt.

On July 4, the Chilean government forcibly suspended its joint combat plan with the British Expeditionary Fleet on the ground that its domestic security was threatened, and transferred back more than ten warships including two iron armored ships to return home to support local operations.

On July 5th, the National Defense Forces modified and supplemented, and then the soldiers pointed directly at Valdivia, and occupied Valdivia two days before the Chilean support fleet returned to complete the combat goal issued by Li Mingyuan.
