Chapter 227 Undercurrents (13)

In mid-May 1908, officials from the Hermosio Municipal Government learned that more than 400 rural cavalry patrol teams were ambushed in the town of Eto and their entire army was wiped out.

After emergency consultations, the Hermosio Municipal Government convened more than 1,700 rural cavalry patrol teams scattered throughout the city. Leaded by his son Verda, he set out to Eto town to clear out Hermosio's peasant uprising army.

At this time, after the peasant uprising army led by Jin Yiwu and Dosparos obtained the support of all the people in Eto Town, their strength increased greatly. The total force had reached the help of the Second Reorganized Division, and they could also compete with the rural cavalry patrol team.

After receiving the news that more than 1,700 rural cavalry patrol teams came to clean up, Jin Yiwu suppressed his excitement of sending troops to fight head-on, and first asked Chief of Staff Lin Zhanxun, the reorganized division.

In order to hide its strength and not attract excessive attention from the Mexican government, Lin Zhanxun instructed not to confront the enemy head-on, and to launch a long-term guerrilla war with the rural cavalry patrol team in accordance with the guerrilla tactic of "the enemy advances, we retreat, we disturb us, we tired, we fight, we retreat, we chase us", and we will fight with the rural cavalry patrol team in accordance with the guerrilla tactic of "the enemy advances, we retreat, we will chase us".

After Lin Zhanxun's instructions were issued, Jin Yiwu divided the peasant uprising army into 10 squads, and set out to the rural cavalry patrol team led by Saozhan Velda according to the principles of guerrilla tactics.

Therefore, the rural cavalry patrol team was disturbed and attacked by the peasant uprising army during their advance to Eto Town.

During the day, two small teams of the Peasant Rebel Army were fired in the woods or on the hills, and when the rural cavalry patrol team sent troops over, the Peasant Rebel Army had already evacuated first.

At night, when the rural cavalry patrol team was camping, the peasant uprising troops were responsible for disturbing the squads, either setting fire to the camp, making the cavalry patrol team members restless and unable to fall asleep.

Faced with this constant attack day and night, the rural cavalry patrol team was in a panic and powerless. The pace of their progress slowed down greatly, as if they were trapped in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves.

After more than a week of continuous disturbance and attack, Velda saw that things were not done, so he made a quick decision and immediately led his army to flee in a panic. Fortunately, on the way to escape, Velda was not attacked by the peasant uprising army again.

On the way back, in order to cover up his incompetence, Velda took advantage of his achievements and massacred several small villages. After returning to the city government, Velda put the goods he had snatched, saying that he had wiped out all the peasant uprising troops, and then went to bed.

However, the paper cannot keep the fire, and someone soon revealed the scandal of Velda's defeat and incompetent killing good and taking credit for his achievements.

Hermosio Municipal Government officials were very angry about this, but Velda was indeed capable. Therefore, the municipal government mobilized more than 5,000 rural cavalry patrol teams in Sonora State to allow Velda to continue as commander and go to clean up the peasant uprising army again.

This time, Velda was strong and powerful, with a large number of people and learned from the previous experience and lessons. Every time he camped, he looked for camping sites that were easy to defend, making it difficult for the peasant uprising troops who wanted to attack the camp at night.

After sleeping well at night, although they will be disturbed and attacked during the day, the peasant uprising army can no longer effectively stop the progress of the rural cavalry patrol team.

In this way, Velda led more than 5,000 cavalry patrol teams to march straight into the city and rushed to Eto town with great momentum, preparing to massacre and retaliate against the Indian mixed-race people in Eto town.

Unfortunately, Velda's heavy punch fell into the empty space. When the rural cavalry patrol team entered Eto Town, they found that Eto Town was empty and there was no trophy left for Velda except for the fertile land.

The angry Velda asked his bandits to set a fire and burned all the houses in Eto Town. Then, despite the fatigue of the marching for several days, Velda followed a few clues and began to pursue the peasant uprising army and the Indian mixed-race people in Eto Town.

What made Velda feel depressed was that every time he felt that he was about to catch up with the peasant uprising army and was confident of destroying them all, the peasant uprising army would always lose track, causing him to fail in the end and fail to do what he wanted.

Just at this moment, a fire broke out in the backyard. A news that made Velda angry came. More than 800 peasant uprising troops were besieging the manor of the large manor Pedro. One hundred thousand were in a hurry and asked Velda for emergency rescue.

So Velda gave up the pursuit of the current peasant uprising army and turned his head to kill Pedro's manor.

Haste means failure. This time, Velda was anxious and led the tired army to hurry, without taking effective precautions.

Therefore, the disturbance and attacks of the peasant uprising army became frequent again, causing Velda's exhausted army to be frustrated again, and the pace of progress slowed down.

By the time Velda led his army to Pedro's manor, it was too late, and the entire estate was looted, and all the owners of the large manor, Pedro's family were hanged, ending their sinful life.

After plundering Pedro's manor, liberating the serfs in the manor, and absorbing a group of strong serfs to join the rebel army, the strength of the peasant uprising army was enhanced.

Velda was hit repeatedly and suffered in great pain. He was severely rebuked by the Hermosio Municipal Government, ordering him to find the main force of the peasant uprising army and bring them all to justice.

However, the peasant uprising army led by Kim Yiwu and Dosparos were too elusive.

While restraining the rural cavalry teams that plagued Velda, they sometimes gathered together to loot larger estates. Sometimes they disperse, helping the oppressed poor farmers, and absorb fresh blood to strengthen their strength.

The peasant uprising army was full of delicious food and spicy food everywhere, but Verda was criticized by the Hermosio Municipal Government and was in a dilemma.

When Velda heard that the city government had made a decision to go back and report his work and would punish him severely, Velda, who was originally a bandit, led his 5,000 cavalry patrol team to rebel, fled to other states as bandits, and robbed him.

The Hermosio Municipal Government asked the capable comrade Velda to lead more than 5,000 cavalry patrol teams to clear out more than 1,500 peasant uprising troops. As a result, not only did the whole family of Pedro, the largest manor in Hermosio, be killed, but also compensated his wife and soldiers. Even Velda and the more than 5,000 rural cavalry patrol teams he led defected.

After this incident, Hermosio Mayor Lelos, considering that Velda defected and had a serious shortage of troops, and after the peasant uprising army resisted, he immediately stopped and did not cause trouble everywhere.

Therefore, Leros decided to temporarily stop the purge of the peasant uprising army and try to send people to contact this low-key peasant uprising army, hoping to recruit them under his command to enrich the rural cavalry patrol team.
