Rebirth of South America as King - Chapter 471
After a short break, the soldiers, led by various ministers, lined up in a long and narrow marching queue, and continued to hurry when they were on their way.
The marching speed of the troops is gradually accelerating, and the distance from the destination is getting closer and closer.
At 3:09 p.m., when the troops marched to an outlying flat not far from the Paraguayan village, several soldiers dressed as Paraguayan civilians ran back on horseback and brought back their investigation information: ” There were a large number of Paraguayan militiamen and civilians killed. Their bodies were left unorganized and left on the ground. Many people ’s bodies had shown signs of decay and stink. It is estimated that the Brazilian army arrived here two or three days ago and dominated Massacre of Paraguayan militias and ordinary people in the village. “
“Are there any people alive?”
“We found seven or eight children alive in the village, they are not very young, the youngest are three or four years old, and the older ones are only eight or nine years old. We guess that when the massacre occurred, those children might be outside the village. Play, so escaped the disaster. “
A young military officer in charge of the reconnaissance mission reported: “However, the surviving children are in a very bad condition. They should not have eaten for several days. When we rushed to the village, we saw them lying beside the ditch , Drink the dirty water in the ditch that has been contaminated with corpses and blood. “
“Suddenly suffered, all relatives and parents were killed, and a few surviving children, but by virtue of instinct, are struggling to find a way to survive.”
Although Han soldiers treated the enemy cold-heartedly and ruthlessly, they were not animal animals like nomads, so after hearing the tragedy of children in Paraguay, standing behind Cai Jiu, Zhang Shishan, who graduated from a military school, inevitably emerged A trace of sympathy: “Head, will you send someone to take care of those poor Paraguayan children, their parents and relatives will be killed, leaving them in the village, left unattended, it will be difficult to end the war.”
“The imperial army is a teacher of justice. Our army has been ordered to go abroad to fight by the order of His Majesty. It has a mission to rescue the people of Paraguay from fire and water, and to accommodate Paraguayan children cruelly killed by the Brazilian army.
Compared with those young officers who are more and more educated in regular military academies in the army, although Cai Jiu did not receive formal military education, the various hardships and participation in Chinese laborers experienced during his youth in the plantation fields in Peru After dozens of battles that the troops participated in, he also tempered his mentality, making him have a calmer judgment on the battlefield than the former.
In the village not far away, the encounter of ordinary Paraguayan people may cause him a little sympathy, but it will not interfere with his normal judgment. The task of the mixed assault force is to reach the destination as soon as possible and win Ely as soon as possible. Sa Sa, receiving and saving children in Paraguay is also one of the political tasks of the Han army, but it is not a task in the first place.
Cai Jiu made a decision early in his mind. Therefore, in the face of the slightly sentimental suggestions of his officers, he clearly stated: “However, our army’s first task is to occupy the town of Elissa. Anything that has nothing to do with the task of occupying the town of Elissa. Matters that must be postponed.
Zhang Yingchang, please send a telegram to the front line command, report the situation we saw on the way to the front line command, and request the front line command to send a special logistic reception unit to take over those Paraguayan children who are homeless At the same time, the corpses scattered inside and outside the village are buried and treated, and the spread of pathogenic plague caused by the decay of the corpses is blocked in advance. “
“Yes, leader.” …………
In front of the village, dead bodies were everywhere. In order to prevent the army from being infected with diseases, Cai Jiu ordered mixed assault troops to spare the village and walk north from a small river near the east of the village.
The small river near the east of the unknown Paraguayan village is only four or five meters wide. The gentle water flows along the river channel with yellow dirt. It should be heard that the troops are marching. Several worn and dirty Paraguayan children leave the village. Came out and looked at the soldiers wading across the river numbly.
The banks on both sides of the river are ruined rice fields. Pieces of trampled young seedlings dragged their bodies and crawled on the water,
Near the rice fields are dozens of scattered corpses crouching on the ground, some rotten and smelly Paraguayan militia corpses, perhaps soaked in water for too long, like drinking a drunken man with a belly, lying quietly There is no movement.
Several wild dogs wandering near the river bank, like hungry ghosts, greedily engulfed those undecayed bodies,
Actually scattered corpses, numb Paraguayan children, filthy and disgusting river water, and the scene in front of them, did not make people feel comfortable.
The soldiers marched silently across the river. When several young soldiers who were still young couldn’t help but curiosity and looked back, the picture that appeared in their minds was a pair of greedy eyes glowing with green light, and Where the wild dogs greedily gazed, those Paraguayan children with shaggy hair and dull eyes.
“Hao Tian God bless, bless them to survive safely.” …………
Endless trees and destroyed farmland kept coming into view, and then slowly moved back.
The dust jumped wildly in the heat. The tributaries of Paraná appeared and disappeared, and disappeared and appeared again. In this way, the mixed assault troops walked from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon.
At 5.30 in the evening, the sun set slowly towards the west, and the hot weather gradually reduced its power as the evening arrived.
The marching troops still maintained their due discipline and vigilance. The cavalry, infantry, and artillery lined up in sequence. When the time was slowly set to 5.49, a relatively wide river appeared in Cai Jiu ’s In front of you.
“The battlefield is here.”
Seemed to confirm Cai Jiu’s guess, just a few minutes after the troops stopped, a few sparse gunshots were heard in the woods not far from the river.
“The whole army is on alert! Artillery and cavalry are looking for favorable cover!”
The first time he heard the gunshots, Cai Jiu decisively issued a combat command.
“Commander, did the Brazilian army find us?”
“It is unlikely that the brother of the second company of the investigation battalion reached the other side of the river one step earlier. If the Brazilian army found our whereabouts, the people of the second company of the investigation battalion would inform us in advance.”
Cai Jiuban squatted behind a forest and continued: “And according to the analysis of the intensity of the gunshots, there were only more than 20 people shooting across the opposite side. If the Brazilian army found us, or it was handed over to the brothers of the second company of the investigation camp. In the event of fire, it is impossible for the troops they sent to have so many people. “
Cai Jiu took off the binoculars hanging in front of him, while watching the movements on the other side, he ordered: “Tell the brothers not to act rashly, first find out the situation on the other side before deciding on the follow-up combat plan, without my order, You ca n’t put a shot! “…………
On the other side of the river, in the small town of Elissa, dozens of soldiers from the second company of the investigation camp that Cai Jiu and others have placed high hopes on, like hidden statues, are hidden in all directions near the town.
In the small town of Elisa, the Paraguayan defenders and young militiamen, enraged by the brutal means of the Brazilian army, finally defended the defense line by the dominant Brazilian army after four days of perseverance.
Most of the Paraguayan regular army and militia died in the fighting four days ago, and a few of the Paraguayan militia who had survived their lives survived in the village.
Brazil ’s Asuncion Front Command transferred about 6,000 soldiers from Asuncion to join the siege of the area around Asuncion. Of these, about 2,000 were involved in the siege of the small town of Elisa.
Like a tortoise covered with a carapace, the thick earth walls and the solid door without gaps were defended by artillery fire.
Paraguayan militias hiding in private houses were found and killed,
Without the protection of the local army, the people of Paraguay in the small town of Elisa became lambs arbitrarily slaughtered.
In the chaotic town, Paraguayan people fleeing to the outside have to be shot down on the streets, and those Paraguayan people who were lucky enough to be captured by the Brazilian army have no better fate than their dead relatives and friends.
Over forty old Paraguayan men, estimated to be over fifty years old, were taken by Brazilian soldiers to an open area west of the town.
The translator asked many questions, and some people beat and kicked them. They were afraid of dying and collapsed to the ground, as if they had lost half of their consciousness before they were killed. The Brazilian soldiers smiled at these poor old men, like naughty children teasing the humble insects.
They were trembling in the abyss of fear. They were frightened by this sudden and worst misfortune, at a loss. A Brazilian soldier inserted a bayonet and stabbed it straight out!
The other old Paraguayans saw the companion’s poor ending, and all trembling and lying on the ground. Rather than lying on the ground, it is better to lie on the ground. Their hands licked the ground, and the degree of fear in their hearts could be imagined.
The old people in Paraguay were desperate, the bayonet piercings and gunshots continued to sound, and one after another the familiar neighbors and friends fell under the bayonet and bullets.
The killing continues, from the inside to the outside of the town, except for the age-appropriate Paraguayan women, all Paraguayan people have become the targets of the Brazilian army’s killing.
There are more and more Paraguayan people who have escaped from the town. Under the killing of gunshots and bayonets, in addition to the number of people falling down, the number of Paraguayan people who escaped by the Brazilian army and fled across the river bank Slowly increasing.

The sounds of gunfire and call were mixed, and more than a dozen Paraguayan militiamen who threw out their weapons struggled to jump into the river. Behind them, there were more than twenty Brazilian soldiers chasing after each other.
“Boom,” the Brazilian soldiers chasing by the river bank kept pulling the trigger and shooting the killing bullet into the water.
Blood stained the nearby waters, the number of Paraguayan militiamen hit by bullets increased, but the number of people still floating on the water was decreasing.
Perceived the pleasure of killing. The Brazilian soldiers standing on the shore did not seem to rush to kill all their prey. They patiently allocated their targets and then fired one bullet after another.
The bullets rang behind him, and the bullets that fell into the water caused a splash of water. At this time, most of the Paraguayan militias have been hit by the bullets. Only the remaining four or five Paraguayans are desperately threatened by death. Swimming towards the other side,
They dived into the water for a while and then surfaced again. Numerous bullets chased them,
However, the hit rate decreases rapidly with distance.
At six forty-one in the evening, the sun went down to the top of the mountain, and white mist appeared on the surface of the water. In the ground, after the Brazilian army on the other side vented the killing in his heart, he also ended the game of water shooting. He carried the rifle in his hand and began to go back.
