The artillery fire extended to the rear, and heavy mortar shells roared towards the fort behind. In the violent explosion, the cannon was blown into the sky, and the gunner and the cannon were buried in tons of dust.

At the same time as the first round of shelling began, in the trenches, the officers and soldiers of the security forces who received the order were already ready to go!

"Set up the ladder! Everyone ready!"

Following the officers' orders, the soldiers set up wooden ladders and leaned on the edge of the trench. The two-meter-deep trench had to borrow a ladder to go up.

"Fire the bayonet!"

An order from an officer.

The soldiers installed bayonets on their rifles one after another. The sound of metal collision echoed in the trenches when the bayonets were installed, and then the soldiers held their rifles. Their faces became anxious and excited, and their anticipation seemed to be mixed with some fear.

, they looked up at the top of the trench.

A moment later, with a whistle blowing, the soldiers immediately jumped out of the two-meter-deep trench and launched an attack on the enemy's position...

Carrying rifles, as soon as they charged into the trench, they followed the squad platoon leader and quickly advanced forward in a skirmish line.

"Beep...beep..."

The harsh copper whistle echoed on the battlefield. The squad and platoon leaders blew their whistles and directed the soldiers to advance. Everyone was running, and they were running very fast.

"Hurry up, hurry up, kill the Chileans before they regain their consciousness!"

Amid excited shouts, the soldiers holding rifles advanced towards the Chilean trenches at a jogging speed. Shells whizzed from their heads like raindrops and flew towards the Chileans. In front of them,

Smoke from the explosion engulfed the Chilean trenches.

What appeared in front of them was a spectacle, a spectacle of destruction. In the violent explosion, the trenches twisted and collapsed, and the smoke even threatened to swallow up the entire battlefield. Even hundreds of meters apart, they were all overwhelmed by the smell of gunpowder.

I choked.

No resistance!

During the several-minute advance, except for the occasional falling bullets, there was no resistance at all. In the face of such fierce artillery fire, the Chileans were unable to stop their attack.

Finally, the bombardment ended.

When the battlefield fell into an eerie tranquility, the piercing whistle broke the tranquility. While the artillery bombardment extended to the rear, the infantry's attack accelerated, like a group of tigers or vicious wolves.

Pounced into the Chilean defense.

Gunshots!

The sound of gunfire echoed on the battlefield. The soldiers who entered the trenches with volleys of rifles fired indiscriminately, then started fighting with the Chileans with bayonets.

Everything was just like in training. Under the fierce shelling, the will of the Chileans had long been destroyed. Many of them even dropped their weapons and ran away after being attacked.

The northern army's defense line was breached!

Almost at the same time that the defense line was breached, hundreds of engineers were urgently repairing a section of the railway on the battlefield. Because the roadbed had not been destroyed, they often only needed to lay sleepers and nail rails to easily repair the railway.

This section of the damaged railway was located on the battlefield. Almost at the same time as the army advanced in depth, engineers entered the battlefield and quickly repaired the railway. They fought against time amidst the sound of artillery and the hail of bullets. Now every day

Minutes are extremely precious.

Finally, when the sky was about to break, the engineering troops sent out a signal - the railway was repaired!

After receiving this signal, a seemingly ordinary train set off from the train station in Qilian.

As the train roared towards the north, An Fusheng looked back at the crowded carriage. More than a hundred soldiers were squeezed into this carriage. All of them, without exception, were wearing Chilean military uniforms. According to the plan, they would control the car along the way. The train station and the railway bridge, thus controlling the entire railway. Behind him, there are twelve trains that will depart at different times. They are divided into twelve attack groups in total, each group has about a thousand people.

Their goal is very simple, control the railway line along the way, then reach the city of Santiago, and capture the Chilean capital before Santiago can react.

This plan is full of risks. As the train moves forward, gunfire and explosions can still be heard on both sides of the railway. The battle is still going on. The front-line troops have only just broken through the Chilean defense line. The main force of the Chilean army Still not destroyed, they may counterattack at any time.

In An Fusheng, they took a train and drove north along the newly restored railway. In the north, a small raiding party was already operating along the railway line. These raiding teams were all led by Max Planck. Each team consisted of only a dozen people. They were like bandits, attacking train stations along the way and destroying or controlling telegraph stations. Such actions were just to provide cover for the main force.

In order to facilitate the operation, each group is also equipped with two or three Indians who are familiar with the local environment as guides. Before each operation, these people will first go to the train station to check the situation.

"How is the situation at the train station?"

Liu Wenyuan, who was riding a horse, asked the Indian who had just returned.

In fact, he is also an Indian, but he was naturalized and adopted a Chinese surname. Now in Araucania, many Mapuche people who have served in the military have adopted Chinese surnames and Chinese names. They can say some simple names. Liu Wenyuan can even write Chinese characters, which is why he was promoted to sergeant. Only those who can write Chinese characters and speak Chinese have the opportunity to become officers. Of course, the so-called officers are actually just non-commissioned officers.

"There are sixteen Chilean soldiers at the train station. Only the captain has a revolver, and the others use rifles."

Even the Chilean army has never considered that one day, someone will send a commando to attack the train station and destroy the telegraph line. After all, this tactic is not the way of this era at all, so there are only some maintenance personnel in the train station. They are just military police for security.

Soon, Liu Wenyuan and others, dressed as civilians, arrived at the train station. Looking at the Chilean soldier in front of the platform, the corners of his lips slightly raised. When he approached, he immediately pulled out the revolver from under his woolen shawl and raised his hand. One shot.

The moment the gunfire rang out, the train station was in chaos. The Chilean soldiers were knocked to the ground by the group of "bandits" before they could react.

"No one is allowed to move!"

Liu Wenyuan, holding two guns, shouted in Spanish.

"Occupy the telegraph room!"
Chapter completed!
