It was the first major battle of the Chaco War. The outpost (fortín) of Boquerón, among others, had been occupied by Bolivian troops since late July 1932 following instructions of president Daniel Salamanca, which led to the escalation of what began as a border conflict into a full-scale war. The assault on Boquerón was the first move of the Paraguayan offensive that was aimed to defeat the Bolivian army and capture territory before Bolivia had fully mobilized its army and resources. Paraguayan Lt. Col. José Félix Estigarribia led the attack. The first Paraguayan assault on Boquerón was repulsed. Both sides suffered from the lack of potable water--the Paraguayans had to get it from Isla Poí (30 miles to the east), and although the Bolivians had wells inside their compound, they were under heavy Paraguayan fire and had also been contaminated by the bodies of dead soldiers. Bolivian aircraft tried with little success to drop ammunition, food and medicine--the only supplies the Bolivians managed to get from the air drops were 916 cartridges, a sack of bread and 110 pounds of dried meat. On September 12 a 3,500-man Bolivian relief column coming from the southwest was driven back near the outpost of Yucra. As the siege progressed the Paraguayans began to suffer from a shortage of water from Isla Poí due to over-extraction from the wells. In the face of these problems Estigarribia ordered an all-or-nothing attack on the outpost on September 26. Three days later the remaining Bolivian defenders, consisting of 240 mostly wounded men, surrendered. Notes1. ^Kallsen, Osvaldo (1983). Historia del Paraguay contemporáneo, 1869-1983.
