Chapter 450: War Revelation

South America is a vast and fertile land, but it is also a land with rapid regime changes and constant wars. The fertile land has attracted interference and manipulation from external powerful countries. Corrupt and incompetent governments only know how to fight for power and gain, but cannot protect the safety of their citizens.

.

In the original history, wars and disputes among South American countries would last for nearly two hundred years. Until the 21st century, South American countries are still under the control of external powers.

Fertile and war-torn South America is like a dazzling gem. Its light attracts ambitious snoops and lights the way for the true controller.

South of La Plata, a new and vibrant country is rapidly emerging amid the chaotic situation of South American countries.

From the two southern states of Brazil, to the seven northern provinces of Argentina, and then to the entire Argentina and Uruguay.

The country of Han in South America is developing at a rapid and powerful pace, proving to the world who is the real hero to end the troubled times in South America.

On July 13, 1889, the Han government issued a call-up order. All troops who received the order were relieved of their vacations and outings. All front-line regular troops were assembled at the garrison and on standby, ready to rush to the front-line battlefield at any time.

On July 16, the four-person regency committee reached an understanding agreement with the rebel coalition forces. The rebel coalition forces stopped their attack on the city of Asunción. While the four-person regent committee agreed to allow the rebel coalition forces to send a force to the city to assist in defense,

A force of 2,000 troops was also dispatched to cooperate with the rebel coalition to resist the attack of the Brazilian Republic Army.

On July 18, the Asuncion government sent a request for assistance to the Chinese side, requesting the Chinese government to send powerful troops to support Paraguay's defense war.

On July 20, the Han government proposed a series of additional conditions on the condition of assisting Paraguay in resisting aggression, but the Paraguayan government politely refused.

On July 23, according to a secret agreement with the British, the Government of the Republic of Brazil received the first phase of a low-interest loan of 600,000 pounds (the total loan amount was 1.5 million pounds, paid in three installments, and the government of the Republic of Brazil initially requested 3 million pounds

For the loan, the UK only agreed to deliver £1.5 million.),

On July 25, using the newly obtained 600,000 pounds, the government of the Republic of Brazil once again mobilized and armed 20,000 mixed troops (composed of a mixture of blacks and whites),

On July 28, according to the needs of the frontline war situation, the government of the Republic of Brazil divided the 20,000-person mixed force into two parts and transferred it to Paraguay. One part, about 13,000 people, went to the Paraguay River Basin front to defend the newly recovered Martogue do Sul.

Roseau and the southern areas of Goiás State to reduce the logistical garrison pressure on the frontline troops of the Republic of Brazil. Another part of about 7,000 people was sent to Guaira and Duiguazú to defend the army of the Republic of Brazil in Bará.

The logistics supply line in the river basin prevented Paraguay or Han from attacking from the lower reaches of the Paraná River.

On July 31, 1889, the Fourth Division of the Paraguayan Army stationed in southern Goiás State was completely annihilated, and the commander of the Fourth Division, Hopkins, was captured alive by the Brazilian Republic's army.

On August 4, 1889, after the troops of the Fourth Division of the Paraguayan Army were eliminated, the main force of the Paraguay Basin Front of the Republic of Brazil left 14,000 troops to defend the occupied areas of Mato Grosso do Sul and southern Goiás State, leaving nearly 60,000 troops

The people continued to move south along the Paraguay River.

On August 6, 1889, Port Casado fell. Of the more than 600 soldiers stationed at Port Casado, except for the more than 100 soldiers who managed to escape, the others were captured or killed.

On August 9, 1889, 12,000 advance troops of the Brazilian Republic marched to Concepcion and started a fierce battle with the Paraguayan army stationed there.

On August 10, 1889, the rebel coalition and the four-member regent committee pieced together a force of nearly 10,000 people and went to Concepción, intending to rely on the remaining port fortress in the area to block the attack of the Brazilian Republic's army.

On August 20, 1889, the Republic of Brazil added 20,000 soldiers at one time to join the attack on the Port of Concepcion.

On August 24, the defensive fortress of Port Concepcion suffered serious damage, and the Paraguayan army stationed there suffered heavy losses under the superior artillery attack of the Brazilian army.

On August 26, General Silvestre, commander of the Compsecion garrison, burned the remaining military supplies and some fortification facilities, and at 11 o'clock that evening, he led more than 7,000 soldiers to evacuate by boat toward Asunción.

At 9 a.m. on August 27, the advance troops of the Republic of Brazil caught up with the Paraguayan troops evacuating by boat, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the Port of Antequera.

At 12 noon, most of the ships on which the Paraguayan evacuation troops were traveling were destroyed. The Asunción defenders in the rear refused the request for support from Silvestre, commander of the Paraguayan Army's Third Division, for fear of being ambushed when leaving the city.

At 1:09 p.m., the gunboat on which Silvestre was riding was hit by a cannonball from the Brazilian advance force. Silvestre was killed on the spot. The Paraguayan evacuation force lost its commander and was instantly in chaos.

At 2:24 p.m., most of the Paraguayan evacuation troops were wiped out by the Brazilian advance troops. More than 1,000 people died in the battle, drowned in the water, and more than 3,000 people surrendered and were captured. Only about 700 troops managed to escape to the city of Asunción (defeated).

Afterwards, many soldiers will leave the battlefield and hide in coastal villages and towns on their own, becoming rioters).

On August 29, the Army of the Republic of Brazil arrived at the small town of Rinchio in northern Asuncion with the power of victory.

In the evening of that day, the Brazilian army launched an attack on the area near Asunción. In less than a week, they occupied the town of Rinchio and Puerto Ayes and other peripheral positions near Asunción. The Paraguayan army retreated to the city of Asunción.

On September 6, 1889, after a week of fierce war consumption, the number of defenders in Asunción dropped to 17,000, and Asunción faced the risk of falling.

On September 7, the Paraguayan government urgently contacted the Chinese side, promised to agree to all the conditions previously proposed by the Chinese side, and implored the Chinese government to immediately send troops to reinforce Asuncion.

At 11 a.m. on September 9, as one of the conditions for the Han army to send troops, the Han army crossed the Paraná River and entered Encarnacion, replacing the Paraguayan Army's First Division to take over the local defense.

At 12 noon on September 9, the First Division of the Paraguayan Army evacuated Encarnacion and immediately took a train towards Asunción.

The Han army crossed the Paraná River and took over the Paraguayan Army's First Division to garrison in Encarnacion, which meant that the Han army officially intervened in the Paraguayan War.

On September 10, 1889, after learning that the Han army had entered southern Paraguay, the frontline army of the Republic of Brazil intensified its attack on Asunción. On the other hand, it also urged the Chilean side to fulfill the secret agreement and attack the Han army on the Pacific side.

exert military pressure.

On September 12, 1889, at the request of the Republic of Brazil, the Chilean government sent 6,000 additional soldiers to Temuco, Panguipu, Los Lagos and other places.

On September 13, 1889, the Han government issued two military orders. The first was to order the Haizhou garrison to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to respond to attacks from Chile on sea and land.

The second is to order the 70,000 troops stationed in Luoning County (Formosa) to end their combat readiness training and immediately board the transport ship of the Inland Fleet to Asuncion.

As the troops stationed in Luoning County marched toward Asunción, the Han war machine, which had been dormant for nearly ten years, began to operate again.
