Only dead white ghosts are good white ghosts!
This is just what everyone said in private. In fact, South Chinese people have never discriminated against white people. How could they discriminate against them?
From Marshal Zhu himself to ordinary workers, many of them married white men. Discrimination was certainly impossible.
For the Nanhua soldiers, they even looked forward to attacking Buenos Aires. After all, that city with a population of more than 200,000 was filled with all kinds of charming Latin girls.
Many single veterans in the military have married in Chile. Naturally, many new recruits or veterans who have not found a wife want to complete life events in Buenos Aires.
“It’s only one kilometer!”
Lying beside the trench, Wang Taisheng stared forward. Occasionally he would raise the Type 62 rifle and aim forward, but this distance was far beyond the range of the Type 62 rifle.
"If there is a Type 67 sniper rifle, I can definitely take down a few ghost guys."
Wang Taisheng sat down with some regret. He looked at the Type 67 rifle in Li Le's arms with envy in his eyes. That rifle was more powerful and had a longer range.
"Are you greedy?"
Li Le, with his general's hat half buckled in front of him, looked up at Wang Taisheng from under the brim and said.
"Want to use 67? As long as your kid can hit ten rings with the 100-meter target gun, I guarantee you can..."
Before others could finish their words, there was a dull whistling sound, and when the shells fell, violent explosions swept around the trench.
"Damn ghost guy, the cannon started again! Where is our cannon?"
"No, where are our cannons? From the moment we arrived here, we only saw ghost guys firing cannons..."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Once we start a cannon attack, it will be truly earth-shattering!"
When the recruits complained, the veterans comforted them and smoked leisurely. They knew very well how powerful Nanhua's artillery was. They had seen it in Shanxi.
The wait didn't last long.
In the early morning of October 31st, the order soldiers in the trenches continued to pass on orders. As the orders were issued, the soldiers installed bayonets on their rifles. For a while, the trench was filled with the sound of the impact of bayonets being installed, and the soldiers holding the rifles
We may be nervous, or looking forward to it, or a little excited, and of course a little scared, but no one flinches, and each of them knows their responsibilities very well. Once the order is given, they will jump out of the situation.
trenches and launched an attack on the Afghan army's position.
While the soldiers were preparing for the upcoming battle, Zhu Xianhai, who had just arrived at the front line, came to the forward position accompanied by Sun Hu and other generals. The reason why he came here was because this battle was of great importance. They were in
In the bunker, observing the Argentine army's defense line by moonlight, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
“Have you ever heard that Argentines call this place the ‘Argentine Fortress of Humaita’?”
"Fortress of Humaita? Is it the one in Paraguay? The one that was defeated by the Argentine and Brazilian coalition forces?"
Sun Hu raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"This name seems unlucky!"
"It's unlucky! During the old Lopez's tenure, in order to strengthen the control of the Paraná River, he spent a lot of money to build the huge Humaita Fortress, equipped with hundreds of large and small bunkers, and equipped with more than 300 guns of various calibers
The artillery and the waterway to Asuncion are all within its range, and it is also known as the "Sevastopol of South America", but everyone knows the final result."
Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.
"You see, Argentines now call this place "Fortress Humaita"? Have you noticed that these ghosts don't have any particularity in choosing a name? We Chinese people are very particular about naming names to get praise. You said it is called
What a wonderful Gibraltar in South America, with a wonderful name. Sevastopol is famous for its perfect defense, but it is more famous because it was ravaged by Britain and France during the Crimean War. The Argentinians call this place
"Argentina's Fortress of Humaita", what do you think the outcome will be?"
Perhaps in order to seek good luck, Zhu Xianhai specifically stated this result. In fact, he was a little nervous deep in his heart. After all, this was Nanhua's first real battle.
The time in Chile was just a small test, but the Trent Lawken in front of me was a carefully constructed field fortress, and it also drew on the experience of the Civil War, using barbed wire, trenches, and fortresses.
The Argentines even laid mines between the forts.
It is not easy to fight such a fortress!
At 4 o'clock in the morning, an order came from the artillery position:
"Load each gun!"
Within tens of seconds, the 362 76mm and 88mm field guns, 105mm field howitzers and 120mm and 150mm mortars belonging to the First Army of South China quickly removed the artillery camouflage net and fired the guns.
On his own, the loader quickly pushed the first wave of shells into the barrel, closed the breech, and the aiming hand pressed the pre-assigned elements to complete the muzzle positioning.
At 4:05, at the moment when the minute hand and the second hand were aligned, Zhu Xianhai, who was at the forefront, personally issued the order.
The command is just three words:
"let's start!"
Although the order was simple, Zhu Xianhai knew that the meaning of these three words was not the beginning of a battle, but the beginning of a great cause!
The silence of the early morning was suddenly broken by the deafening sound of artillery.
The sky and the earth were suddenly reflected red by the cannon flames. In the next moment, a storm swept across the earth. It was the blast of the cannon that swept the earth!
"Whoosh..."
Wang Taisheng and his comrades in the front trenches heard sounds coming from above their heads. A dense and strange sound passed over their heads. The sound sounded a bit like a sharp wind whistle.
It's the whistling sound of artillery shells!
Some are dull, some are sharp.
What is dull is the mortar shell, and what is sharp is the field gun. The former has a low muzzle velocity and has a dull sound, while the latter has a high muzzle velocity and a sharp sound.
The battle has begun!
History should remember this moment. At 4:05 on October 31, 1869 AD, after nearly a month of dispatching troops and generals, the South China Army finally sounded the clarion call to march.
This horn is by no means just targeting Argentina!
This day is destined to go down in history, just like the artillery blast sweeping across the earth at this time. When this storm blows, no one knows where this storm will sweep, nor where it will end.
At what time, in what form, stop there.
But this storm started sweeping the earth from today, from this moment on.
