New Ming Empire mixed in America

The battle in the mine was much harder than Liu Lizhi imagined.

Because it is located in a mountainous area, heavy mortars cannot be transported, so we can only rely on light mortars for combat.

But it was still very difficult to face the American army defending the mine.

Defense is not a field battle, and there are no enemy troops lining up. These American sailors scattered in every corner caused a lot of casualties to the National Defense Forces.

"Captain, this is not the way to go. The terrain here is too complicated and the soldiers can't charge up!"

The battalion commander in charge of the storm told Liu Lizhi the difficulties on the walkie-talkie.

"Where is the attack now?"

Liu Lizhi held up his binoculars and scanned the distance, but the rugged terrain and the fact that he was still attacking from above meant that he couldn't see anything on the mountain at all.

"We have already advanced to the halfway point of the mountain. If we advance a little further, we can seize the opponent's water source, so I suggest that we stick to the water source and wait for them to collapse."

The battalion commander in charge of the storm gave a suggestion that made Liu Lizhi's eyes light up.

This is how the battlefield adapts to changes. At first, because there was no good way, I had to attack by force, but now that I have an idea, I will definitely give it a try.

So the battle reversed in the evening. The defenders became the National Defense Force soldiers, and the attackers were the American soldiers.

Everyone knows what a lack of water means. This is not California, this is Peru, which is dry and rainy all year round, so waiting for it to rain has become a fantasy.

"We can't lose the well on the gentle slope, otherwise we won't be able to hold on for a few days unless we retreat deeper into the mountains."

Wells sat in the open space in front of the mine and discussed tactics with several officers.

The gentle slope is very unfavorable for defense. Not only is the road narrow, but it is not blocked. Therefore, those who defend on the gentle slope will be repelled by the rotating machine gun.

But now it has become difficult to retake the well, because the National Defense Forces have built a strong defense with sandbags and iron plates.

"The weapons of those Easterners are very advanced, and most of our soldiers are equipped with short swords and pistols."

"I don't agree. If we retreat into the mountains, we won't have any supplies!"

"Then what do you think we should do? Surrender to those Easterners?"

After a messy quarrel, everyone's eyes focused on Wells.

"We tried to launch a surprise attack at night. If that didn't work, we had to go into the mountains and get out."

They can survive for a while without food, but without water it will be difficult, especially since there are so many of them.

After the strategy was confirmed, it was arranged.

Night attacks are sometimes a good idea, but Wells may have forgotten that his soldiers can't see well at night either.

Use the navy to attack infantry defensive positions.

There is still a position with searchlights and rotating machine guns, which is no different from dying.

After another attack was repulsed, Wells went to the front line in person.

Looking at the National Defense Forces who were waiting on the opposite side, his expression was very ugly.

"Do the officials in the purchasing department have shit in their heads?"

"Look at the weapons of the Orientals. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. The firearms in the world have become so advanced, but our soldiers can only use backward muzzle-loading guns."

Looking at the shooting frequency of the Wehrmacht soldiers, Wells could almost foresee what his end would be.

"Let the soldiers move back. Let's go into the mountain and go around from the other side. I don't believe those Easterners will keep chasing us."

The sailors breathed a sigh of relief at the order to retreat and began to retreat toward the mountain behind the mine.

They did not choose to defend those mines that were no different from seeking death, but instead bypassed this place.

Liu Lizhi did not choose to pursue, because after a day of fighting, the soldiers also needed enough time to rest.

The bigger reason is that they are worried about the other party's ambush.

As the capital of Peru, Lima is also the main gathering place for the country's mineral exports, so this city is very wealthy.

And the Chinese people who were rescued from the surrounding area were waiting for transportation by ship, so Qi Qi still had to stay here for a while.

The Plaza de Armas is an almost square area, opposite is the Conseil Palace, the Presidential Palace, and on the left is the Lima Cathedral.

These two places alone made **Qi jealous.

The president ran away, but there was still a lot of property in the presidential palace. After Liu Erhe led the imperial guards to plunder them all, they were all recovered by the police.

The Presidential Palace is easy to handle, but Lima Cathedral is a bit troublesome.

"This is a church and should not be affected by war. This is a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit!"

A priest stopped in front of the church door, and behind him was the church door that was tightly closed.

"Your archbishop has run away, why are you still here?"

**Qi looked at the stern-faced priest and shook his head sadly.

Religion will always give rise to some fanatical believers with strange brain circuits, and it is obvious that the priest in front of me is one of them.

On the day of the battle, the big shots in the church had long been frightened by the reputation that Qi had for ruthless killings. They had already fled before the battle was over.

But now it seems that there are still many believers who regard faith as more important than life.

"The bishop will be punished by God for being ungrateful to the Lord, but you pagans should not step into this sacred place."

The priest opened his arms and bravely stood in front of Liu Erhe, preventing Liu Erhe from touching the church door.

"The holiness of the church cannot be desecrated, especially those of you yellow race, who are not qualified to step here. And the sins you commit in this city will be punished by God sooner or later!"

The priest's words made **Qi unhappy. Just now, he admired the other party's courage to not be afraid of danger, but now...

"Then will the crimes you committed against my compatriots not be punished by God?"

**Qi took a few steps forward, stared at the priest and asked lightly.

"They are all contract workers, and the employer has the right to make them do anything. This is the right given to the employer by the Holy Spirit."

The priest looked unconcerned, and even looked at Qi Qi with disdain.

"Very good, since your Holy Spirit has given you the right to oppress my compatriots. Then it is my enemy. I have always killed all my enemies."

After Qi Qi finished speaking, he stopped looking at the idiot priest and began to look at the carvings on the outer wall of the church.

On the other side, Liu Erhe stretched out his hand to pull the priest away, and then ordered the guards to open the door of the church.

"If you want to enter, you have to step over my body!"

The priest frantically rushed in front of the Praetorian Guards soldiers, waving the cross in his hand in an attempt to stop the soldiers from moving forward.

"Why are you still standing there, fulfilling his wish?"

Liu Erhe saw the Imperial Guard soldiers looking at him in embarrassment and replied with a smile.

Soon, the Praetorian Guards soldiers who received the order fulfilled the priest's wish with the help of bayonets. They stepped on his body and blew open the church door with a gunpowder barrel.
