War always takes many lives!
The battlefield has never been romantic, and there is nothing romantic about the so-called "blood" itself. Even if there is, it belongs to a few people.
Gold and wealth are the root of all wars. Even though he has never been to Serbia, it does not prevent Lin Yili from being familiar with this Serbian proverb.
In fact, before the army set off, his father wrote him a letter in Serbian. To this day, his father cannot write in Chinese. As a shoemaker, he can only speak some simple Chinese.
It's not because he resists Chinese, but because he really doesn't know how to speak Chinese. In fact, his father has always been grateful to Daming. After all, in the past, his father was just a craftsman in the manor owner's manor. He not only had to work for the manor owner, but also
He wanted to farm, but the manor owner rented him a house and had nothing else.
At least after Daming came, my father could rent a house and run his own business, but Chinese was too difficult to learn...
“In war, politicians provide ammunition, rich people provide food, and poor people provide children! When the war is over, politicians take back the remaining ammunition, the rich grow more food, and the poor can only look for their children’s graves.
"
Silently recalling the words in his father's letter, Lin Yili looked at the corpses in front of him, his expression looking a little depressed.
"Monitor Lin, that flag bearer is from your class, right?"
"Yes, Platoon Commander."
"Well, the company commander has already commended him. He is really a good soldier! He is very brave. He is this year's recruit, right? He is from China?"
"Yes, I just came here, less than half a year ago!"
"Do you have the address of his family? I plan to write a letter to his family."
…
This is a letter that can never be sent because his family has long since died.
Soon, the bodies of the soldiers were put into coffins and loaded onto trucks. The bodies would be sent to the rear and buried in their hometown cemeteries or the Martyrs' Shrine in Yingtian according to their last wishes.
The vast majority of soldiers choose the Martyrs' Shrine. The Martyrs' Shrine is a place of honor for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Way to go!"
Watching the coffins containing the corpses of his comrades being carried onto the truck one by one, Lin Yili silently performed a military salute, and then he turned and left. When leaving, he looked back at the coffins and nodded, as if
What did you say……
…
The battle came to an end temporarily with the fall of Montevideo's outer positions. The troops finally invaded Montevideo, which was once the capital of Uruguay. Although there were two fortresses outside the city, they were still under attack.
Under the bombardment of heavy artillery and heavy aircraft bombs, it had long been turned into ruins. When Lin Yili's troops marched to the fortress, all they saw was ruins.
The soldiers stretched their legs and sat on the bunkers and trenches near the ruins. The fierce fighting made the soldiers so tired that they didn't even want to open their eyes. There were hundreds of corpses of Brazilian soldiers lying around, including whites and blacks.
Now, they are all just dead people.
Some soldiers will look for weapons on the corpses. In fact, there are no trophies. At most, they are a revolver or a dagger.
During the break, the soldiers took out compressed biscuits from their backpacks, took a bite of the biscuits and took a sip of cold water. The water had a strong smell of chlorine, which was the smell of disinfectant tablets. Although the smell was very strong, compared to ordinary raw water,
This kind of water is safer. It is the water purification and disinfection tablets that made diseases such as dysentery disappear in the Ming army.
And the Brazilian army... still has thousands of people dying from common dysentery. Unclean drinking water and poor camp hygiene have always been the army's biggest enemies.
When the soldiers were resting, the words "Occupied by the 71st Regiment on November 3" were written on the ruins of the fortress behind them. Perhaps a few hours ago, there were soldiers standing on the ruins, happy.
With military flags and weapons cheering there, the photographers accompanying the army will record all this with cameras and cameras. One day, this shot will appear when the movie "Conquering Montevideo" is played in the cinema.
All this is always enviable, but for Lin Yili and his comrades, now they just want to take a rest.
While they were resting, there were constant gunshots coming from the direction of the city. In the buildings on the edge of the city, the Brazilians were still resisting. However, more people were surrendering. Amidst the continuous bombing and shelling, early
They were frightened by the bombing. Many Uruguayans either deserted directly or chose to surrender directly during the attack. As for those "free men", most of them surrendered directly, but what awaited them was naturally the persecution they committed in Paraguay.
liquidation of atrocities.
Daming is vindictive!
Of course, there are also some tenacious Brazilian soldiers who fought until the end. Even in a building in the city, hundreds of Brazilian soldiers not only fought until the end, but even chose to die together when the building was captured.
After learning about the bravery of the Brazilian soldiers, Liang Wu, the commander of the Third Army, couldn't help but praise the courage of the Brazilian soldiers.
"What a group of brave warriors! What a group of respectable warriors!"
After praising him, he ordered the military observers from Britain, the United States, France and other countries present who could not help but be dumbfounded.
"In order to show respect for them, I don't think there is any need to persuade them to surrender! Soldiers should be given enough respect!"
The so-called respect means - let them die!
What?
There is also such an operation!
Faced with such an operation, the British observer Major Montgomery immediately protested.
"General, it is against humanity not to persuade us to surrender."
"What kind of humanity? That's just the morality of ordinary people!"
Liang Wu said directly.
"What is the morality of soldiers? It is the highest honor for soldiers to die in battle for the country. If they surrender voluntarily, we welcome them. If they want to stick to the end, out of respect for them, of course we will help them! You don't understand.
In the East, dying in battle is the honor of a soldier!"
After saying these words, Liang Wu couldn't help but teach Montgomery, Johnson and de Gaulle a lesson.
"You, you have been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and you don't understand the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at all. Do you know what a soldier's soul is?"
Looking at the foreign observers who looked confused, Liang Wu explained.
"The soul of a soldier is to regard death as home, to be benevolent and to be righteous! We, the Ming soldiers, always take pride in "loyalty to the martyrs' shrine" every time we go to war. The way to respect the enemy is to fulfill their loyalty and bravery on the battlefield! I want Cavalcanti
If the general knows my decision, he will definitely thank me!"
If General Cavalcanti knew... he would probably surrender faster. The next morning, facing the reality that the Ming army had invaded Montevideo, the Brazilian garrison commander General Cavalcanti directly ordered the surrender
white flag.
Facing the white flag held high, Liang Wu also felt melancholy!
"General, you seem very disappointed!"
Captain de Gaulle, the military attache of the French Embassy and an observer with the army, looked at him and said.
"Hey, you don't understand!"
Liang Wu said with sigh.
"If you have time, you should go to the Martyrs' Shrine. Maybe you will understand when the time comes..."
