The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Rajoy and Assania discussed the use of landing tactics. The Spanish army lacked experience in this area, but their opponents were even more unbearable.

Facing the Cuban Republic without a navy, the only thing they need to do is to quietly drive the warship to the unguarded coast.

Due to the complex terrain of the Cuban jungle and the weak forces of the Republic, it cannot take good care of Cuba’s long coastline, so there are many places suitable for landing.

It can be expected that their landing process will not encounter any obstacles, far less tragic than during World War II.

On June 1, 1870, the Franco-Prussian War would break out in the next month of normal history, but now, the dispute between the two giants remains verbal, and no one knows when the war will come.

On this day, the Fifth Army rushed to Camaguey Province to support the colonial army that had previously fought here.

Only later did Rajoy lead his troops to discover that the frequency of fighting between the two sides was very low, the Republican army did not want to go west, and the colonial army did not intend to regain lost ground.

The two sides were stationed in various places in the province in a tacit understanding, and then they sent scouts to investigate. After the detection, they did not go to war, but moved their positions to show that they were doing something.

Obviously, this is because since the country has sent troops, it's fine to paddle the water.

Rajoy is also helpless about this. The colonial government and colonial government are problems that exist in every country, and he can't solve them alone.

Fortunately, what needs to be considered in this war is not the issue of military power, and he had no intention of letting them do anything.

Rejecting the colonial army's request for confluence and reorganization, the Fifth Army directly attacked an army of the Republic after preliminary reorganization.

This army, which has long been exposed, is stationed in a remote mountain village, serving as a logistics base for the Republican army in a radius of tens of miles.

Their existence has long been spread to the ears of the colonial government through the villagers. However, small mountain villages are easy to defend and hard to attack, and tend to be fortified. The colonial army has nothing to do with them.

When the Third Infantry Brigade of the Fifth Army appeared on the outskirts of the village, the Republican army was nervously repairing its fortifications, and it was obvious that it had received instructions from the top army.

But the strength of a brigade of 7,000 people is not something that 2,000 of them can resist.

The battle did not last long. The sandbags and soil walls they had high hopes for were shattered almost instantly in front of the fierce firepower of nearly a hundred field guns...

The news of the loss of a logistics base quickly spread to the ears of the high level of the Republic.

The capital of the Republic is not far from the front line. In order to show its determination to fight fiercely, the temporary capital is located in Camaguey, the capital of Camaguey Province, an inland city to the south.

The atmosphere in the conference room was quite depressing. Since the news of the unification of Spain came, they knew that there would be no good life in the future.

But I didn't expect the government's attack to come so swiftly, sending 50,000 troops at a time, really worthy of them.

The current President Desais Pedez saw that everyone was silent and comforted: "The 50,000 recruits have been assembled. Only when the guns are delivered, we can put them on the battlefield. By then, we will have a 100,000 army.

Even if you can't beat the Spanish army, you can still fight for a decent peace treaty. "

Desais is the owner of a cane sugar factory and a typical colonial capitalist. He is a nationalist. Yes, but he is still more dissatisfied that Spanish businessmen usurped too much profit from Cuba and only allowed them to drink soup, sometimes even soup. Don't leave it.

Moreover, with the domestic turmoil in Spain, the exploitation became more cruel, and it was really unbearable. This was the result of an angry rebellion.

As the first person to raise the banner of righteousness, Desais was also the first president, and he naturally had a considerable influence in the leadership.

Hearing him say this, most people's faces looked better.

Among those leading this uprising, the bourgeoisie and the landlord class accounted for the majority. They were afraid that Desais would fight to the end at all costs. From now on, the president is still sensible.

In their minds, with twice the number of advantages, not to mention winning, maintaining a balance of power in a defensive battle should not be a big problem, and it is completely acceptable for them to divide and rule by Cuba.

However, there are always people who like to pour cold water. A man with a dark face from beginning to end, Marseo, said untimely: "Don't say you will surrender before you hit. Since 1 month ago, customs inspections have been strict. Many, many of the guns we bought have been detained.

It's not enough. The Spaniards brought a fleet this time. What if they want to blockade the coast? The guns of the De Maha Armory can't meet the needs of the front line. "

"..." Everyone turned their worried gazes at Desais again.

Desais did not panic and said confidently: "The Spanish fleet is an **** fleet whose main purpose is to protect transport ships. It is not large in scale and has no ability to blockade the entire eastern part of Cuba. And..."

He looked around and said: "The Americans are quite supportive of our uprising. I know a big businessman in the United States. It is not convenient to disclose who he is. He agreed to load the arms on his ship, and he had close contacts with the colonial government. , You can completely bypass the customs.

Even if they block our coast, they can still be transported over land. "

Seeing the people regained their confidence, he began to arrange the next things: "Obviously, the other party is too proud and is ready to penetrate our defense line from the front. The Cubans' unity will make them regret...

General Fidel and Batista's troops were mobilized to the front to make up for the gap in the sky and prepare for an ambush in the jungle. Spain must pay the price of blood for every step forward. "

...

The Republic of Cuba dispatched its reserves from various places to the front line to fight head-to-head war with Spain.

However, the attack on the frontal battlefield was only a seduction. The Second Army led by Assania was located at a port a little behind the front line. Except for sending a small number of troops to the front line to confuse the opponent, most of the rest were waiting quietly. here.

All commercial activities in the port of Ciego de Avila have been temporarily terminated, and the port has been transformed from a dual-use port to a complete military port.

The colonial government thought they were staying here as a reserve force, but in fact they were looking for a chance to board a ship for a surprise attack.

As Desais said, the **** fleet is not enough to blockade eastern Cuba, and even if it can blockade, they do not want to do so.

Relying on siege and frontal attack to defeat the enemy will inevitably incur huge casualties and will also cause irreparable losses to the Cuban economy.

It is refreshing to regard the **** fleet as the landing fleet.

According to the plan, 13,000 troops of the Second Army will depart from the port and arrive outside Mayak in Holguín Province within 4 hours, and then drove straight in, tearing the Republic of Cuba into two halves.

Now, they are waiting, waiting for most of the army of the Republic to come to Camaguey...
