Chapter 828 West Coast Expansion Plan (III)

Li Heng felt very embarrassed. He marched all the way, and the Governor, who was in good health, was already out of breath. The forehead was covered with sweat beads, falling like raindrops. The collar of the shirt was already wet, and his hair was still flat, otherwise his hair would droop into bangs.

Before I could breathe halfway, I started moving again. The march in the dark was like walking on the flat ground, and there seemed to be no obstacles to sight. One by one, I stepped out the road from the sandbags and jumped forward briskly. You know, this is fully armed. Even if I didn't bring a shotgun and ammunition, it was a load of more than 20 kilograms.

Dai Zhiyuan was not much better. His clothes were already wet with sweat. He couldn't even calculate it. These guys deliberately wanted the two commanders to look good. The two looked at each other in the dark, and based on their tacit understanding, they knew what the other party was thinking. In fact, there was nothing to think about. The two words "convinced" are worthy of being the elite of the Ming army.

If you are marching on the road, the Marines can do it at this distance, and even do it better. However, under such conditions of field marching, it would be a bit scary to be able to do this.

"Two commanders, you can all pass by at most ten minutes." Tanakayao was also relieved and a little ashamed. He thought that the night marching was not allowed to ignite, which made people think too dark. He then came over with a flashlight and looked at the embarrassing look of the two commanders. The sarcasm he had when he was talking was retracted. In fact, he admired these two commanders very much. The emergency marching just now was at least five kilometers. Only these two commanders could keep up, and they were not pulled too far. It was really unexpected. With the strength of this marching, there were probably not many of the generals and men in the army who could keep up.

Neither Li Heng nor Dai Zhiyuan were angry. Instead, they were secretly happy that many things were solved in the quality and scale of this army. Let’s see the last one now, how they solved the firepower problem.

Nodded, Li Heng waved his hand and smiled, "It's still early, don't worry, let's take a breath." After saying this, Tanakajie was worried at all, and he was lucky, so he didn't catch up with the petty chief. The three-year service period was much better.

"There is still some time, let's talk here." Dai Zhiyuan smiled and handed over a cigarette. The rest was not a big problem. Li Heng stretched out his hand to the back, and the correspondent handed over the map, spread it on the ground, and shone the flashlight. Tianakajie and Gu Li, the chief of staff with a pair of glasses, squatted down consciously. He stared at the map. Li Heng pointed to a point on the map and said, "This place is between the Spanish colony and our colony. One of our warships has conducted surveys in this area and found that it is very suitable for building colony sites. There are also many Indians nearby. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the natives near the colony, it is too luxurious to put so many troops in one place. Transfer a battalion and open up a territory here."

Tanakaya looked down and saw the name of Los Angeles on the map. He didn't understand the origin of the name, and he didn't worry. He nodded and said, "Soldiers regard obedience as their duty. The commander gave orders to execute them."

Dai Zhiyuan heard the unhappiness in his tone and explained: "This place is next to the Spanish colony, and he doesn't plan to do a big deal here for the time being. The main task is to take the place first. Although the Spaniards are not powerful enough, the Ming Dynasty cannot be enemies with the whole world, right? I and the Governor thought that Kingsoft discovered gold mines and will usher in an immigration boom in the next five years. There will always be a time to finish the gold mining? Who knows how many people will stay to buy property? The place in Kingsoft is small, and this problem will not exist in Los Angeles. Also, if you cross the bay, there is a large area of ​​land there. It still means that you send a small army to take it first."

Tanaka Jie knew the nature of the Ming people very well. Once the gold rush was triggered, the population would not be carefully selected for development teams. The quality was different. It was probably because of the miserable tyrants in the Ming Dynasty, either farmers who could not survive, or criminals and adventurers. You will know this when you look at Nanyang. As long as you can live well, who would be willing to immigrate? When you arrive in North America, you will look up and see me. Oh my God, no one cultivates so much land, as long as you can clear the land, it is yours. At that time, those immigrants may not be willing to go back with bayonets. There is no way to say the feelings of Chinese people towards the land.

Tanakaya understood that the two big names had a clear idea, one was to develop southward and the other was to develop eastward. The main force was the First North American Army Regiment, which was changed from mountain brigades. The task was to occupy the territory. Not to mention whether to develop or not, the place had to be occupied first. I guess these two have already counted the Spaniards, and maybe they still thought about their population. Judging from this, the development eastward is relatively restrained. After all, the eastward is a mainland, and the transportation problem is difficult to solve, so occupy a place across the bay, build a port, and explore along the water source bit by bit. It is different to the south. Along the coastline, you can build a colony in a jumping manner. The most outpost is Los Angeles.

"In this case, the navy will have to cooperate more." Tanaka Jie made a small request and gave a step down, which made the two men regain some face. Dai Zhiyuan immediately stated: "Of course, the Indians also gave a group of young and strong men and women."

After a brief exchange, the little grudge in my heart was eliminated. They were not narrow-minded people, and they had been together in North America for a long time. The two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding. After all, they were a colony of militarized management, and even if they could not understand their thoughts, it was not a big deal. It was just that for the sake of future work efficiency, everyone worked hard to adapt to each other.

At dawn, Li Heng and Dai Zhiyuan were blinded again. All three infantry battalions were in place. When they saw the deployment and the lurking position of the commando, they were perfect. At about six o'clock, the morning was bright, and the air was intoxicating, and the firepower was ready to begin. The strange screams of the mortar were so distinctive, just like a ghost seeking his life.

Dongdongdongdong's intensive shooting was all made of nimble live ammunition. Tanaka Jie was also willing to show off, so he spared no expense and five live ammunitions came to each gun. This almost caused him a heart attack. After the artillery fire was ready, the lurking commando jumped up, and the scattered formation was 300 meters away, and there was no one standing and firing a gun during the whole process. After finding a suitable hidden point, he shot the virtual opponent on the high ground with a rifle.

This acting has no practical reference value. It is nothing more than letting these two generals see that even without a road, the infantry regiment can achieve a very excellent level. Half an hour later, the red flag was inserted into the high ground, and there was no hatred of the navy and army, and all dissatisfaction was blown away by the wind.

The day passed quickly. The next morning, the Infantry Regiment received an order to send a battalion, one man and two horses to find trouble for the Indians. He discovered the old nest of the Cheyenne. According to the interrogation, he found that the Cheyenne was a large tribe, and he didn't know how many people there were. Anyway, after the internal division occurred, it was divided into many small tribes, some of which came westward. The one who attacked Anhe Town was a tribe in the south, which was about forty kilometers, which was a day's journey.

Just as a battalion was sent here to find trouble for the Cheyenne people, there was another warning from the sea. There was a smoke rolling on the fort at the entrance of the bay, and the entire colony became lively. A group of officers followed the two generals to the fort to observe the sea and found two ships coming, which meant that they were Spanish ships coming from the south.

"Let the fleet be prepared and see what they want to come before deciding how to deal with it." Li Heng made a decisive decision, and the rest of the people went back to prepare for the battle.

The ships on the sea also found wolf smoke, and Gomez on the deck seemed a little excited. Yes, this cart was the traitor in Hero Port, with hundreds of scums and scums under his command, and took five boats to Brazil and found a place to manage the foundation. In that place in Brazil, they also had sex with the Dutch several times, but they were beaten up very badly, losing 30% of their troops. By coincidence in the first half of the year, they got news from a captain that they encountered the battleship of the Ming Empire on the sea near Mexico.

This news made Gomez very confused. This guy didn't go to North America, but wanted to establish a place in South America, and was very interested in occupying the mountains and becoming the king. He never thought that it was not bad at the beginning, but was beaten by the Dutch and lost his territory, and began to face the reality.

Because I have never returned to Hero Port, mainly because I don’t want to be under the command of Kathon, I don’t know that Zhang Guangde and Hu Hansan are back. Portugal’s strength is not as strong as before. It is very fierce in Brazil and the Netherlands, and is still on the defensive. Gomez was thinking about whether he would come to find the fleet of the Ming Empire again to see if he could hold his thighs back.

So he decided to take a risk of gamble, bring all his belongings and people, circled a big circle, then turned north and searched north along the coastline. Of course, he did not tell his subordinates the truth, but told everyone that he would go to the west coast to do some unsuccessful transactions. The journey was quite smooth, but it was a bit fatal when he was in the windless belt. He also did two transactions, asking two Spanish boats to do multiple-choice questions, asking them whether they wanted to eat bandao noodles or wonton noodles.

After passing Santiago, the pirates on the ship felt something was wrong, but Gomez was too lewd and power was too strong, and no one dared to be the first to be the first. This guy kept instilling the fabricated news: the west coast of North America is full of gold and other words.

These two ships were also lucky. They escaped the patrol of the Ming fleet in the vast sea and approached the Jinshan Colony by them. (To be continued.)
