Chapter 247 Decapitation Operation (Second update, please subscribe)
Even though he chose a confidant whom he could trust, Zhu Xianhai was still a little uneasy. After all, this plan had many loopholes.
The only way to relieve worries is simulation.
Although the simulator currently only has the function of long-term simulation, Zhu Xianhai has used short-term simulations a lot in recent years. The shortest simulation lasted only a few days, and the longest lasted more than a year.
After several years of use, the simulator is now quite handy to use.
Therefore, he had been preparing for this day all along. However, before sending out the troops, he still had to simulate it.
"system!"
Familiar call, familiar interface, everything is so familiar.
"Start the simulator, the simulation time is thirty days..."
The reason for simulating thirty days is more to simulate the process of "surprise attack" and the subsequent short-term changes in the situation.
[Start simulation.]
[On April 1, 1866, you commanded your troops to attack the Chilean Army of the North from Chillán.]
The light screen flickered and the scene loaded quickly.
…
“Kill!”
Amid the roar of heavy artillery, thousands of soldiers jumped out of the trenches and charged towards the Chilean defense line without hesitation. Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the Chilean defense line had already been shaky, but the soldiers' charge broke through their defense line in an instant like a huge wave.
The Chileans are in retreat!
There is no suspense at all.
In the face of the overwhelming advantage of revolutionary weapons and tactics, the resistance of the Chileans was not worth mentioning. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the engineers had just repaired the railway, and a freight train with more than a dozen carriages quietly set off from the Chillán train station. The carriages were filled with commandos disguised as Chilean troops.
Without exception, these commandos were equipped with the most advanced weapons of the era - 1861 revolvers, 1862 Spencer rifles. Each platoon was equipped with two grenade launchers, and each company had two Gatling machine guns. In terms of firepower, their firepower was the most powerful in the world. A commando team of more than a thousand people could maintain a certain firepower advantage even when facing tens of thousands of people. In this era of muzzle-loading guns, their firepower was absolutely overwhelming.
The train is departing!
The journey was smooth and before the commandos set off, dozens of raiding teams, consisting mainly of Mapuche cavalry, with a minimum of a dozen or a maximum of dozens of people, disguised themselves as bandits and infiltrated into the enemy's rear. They occupied the train station, cut off telegraph lines, and intercepted trains to ensure that the commandos' train could arrive in Santiago smoothly.
Everything went smoothly along the way. When the train arrived at the train station at midnight, the lurking spies and the pre-infiltrated assault team had already taken control of the station. They even prepared horse-drawn carriages, and the commandos took the carriages and divided into three groups, one heading straight to the presidential palace and the other heading straight to the military camp.
Under the cover of dusk, a horse-drawn carriage was driving along the street north of Constitution Square. When passing the Presidential Palace, the carriage stopped and the coachman hurriedly got off as if he was checking something. The guards guarding the Presidential Palace took a lazily look and then looked away. Perhaps there was a problem with the axle or something, but it had nothing to do with them.
Inside the carriage, several commandos picked up crossbows, aimed at the guards, and pulled the trigger.
“Whoosh”, “whoosh”…
With the sound of strings, six crossbow arrows flew out of the carriage. Before the guards in front of the main government office could react, they were shot and fell down.
At the same time, dozens of commandos rushed out from the shadow of Constitution Square, holding rifles and quickly advancing to the Presidential Palace. They were divided into groups of five or six, and each group had two people holding steel crossbows. After breaking into the Presidential Palace, when they encountered guards, the crossbowmen would immediately pull the trigger and shoot.
“Swoosh, whoosh…”
The dull string sounds were not very obvious in the quiet night, but it only took a few minutes for the presidential palace to be cleared out by the commandos, and the guards in the guard dormitory were captured in their sleep.
Even the guards of President Perez were nailed to the wall by crossbows. As for Perez himself, after the door was knocked open, he only had time to ask a question: "Who are you?"
Then, the president of a country became a prisoner!
all the best!
Faced with this groundbreaking decapitation operation, the unsuspecting guards had no time to resist before the presidential palace fell.
But the commandos' attack in the military camp suffered a heavy blow!
Although Santiago's garrison consisted of less than two thousand men, divided into two camps, with dispersed forces and outdated weapons, the raid was still resisted. The sound of gunfire echoed in the midnight sky. After the city of Santiago was awakened by the sound of gunfire at night, the city also changed.
"It's the rebels! It's an attack by rebels!"
Soon, thousands of civil defense teams, instigated by congressmen and politicians, took up arms and joined the resistance. Although the commandos were armed to the teeth, they were facing thousands of civil defense teams composed of civilians who attacked them from all directions.
"Chinks, get the Chinks out of San Diego!"
…
The vast ocean of people’s war!
When the simulation ended, Zhu Xianhai was completely dumbfounded.
"how so?"
The decapitation operation was successful!
There is absolutely no suspense about this. No one has ever carried out a similar operation in these years. How could it not succeed if it was done intentionally?
But what happens after success?
Who would have thought that they would face another situation - tens of thousands of citizens, instigated by congressmen and politicians, actually took up arms to launch a counterattack against the commandos, trying to retake Santiago. Although the follow-up troops successfully repelled the counterattack of the civil defense team under the cover of the armored train, the defeated civil defense team evacuated Santiago under the organization of congressmen and continued to resist in other places. Even at the end of the simulation, the civil resistance became more and more intense.
"The assault failed..."
Zhu Xianhai frowned. The Civil Defense Team is a characteristic of the colonies. In fact, it is just an armed militia to prevent attacks from indigenous peoples. They have played an extremely important role in the history of every colony.
Who would have thought that it was this seemingly motley group that caused the entire plan to fail.
"Things are not as simple as I thought!"
Zhu Xianhai frowned and muttered to himself.
"It looks like we need to adjust our plans!"
After thinking it over for a while and collecting the profits from this simulation, Zhu Xianhai started the simulation again.
With simulation in hand, the world is mine!
Even if you consume some experience points without any gain, it doesn't matter. The key is to avoid those pitfalls...
