The long sound was very loud. The sound of the aerial bomb's tail fin falling from the sky cutting through the air when the edge of the tail fin friction and vibrating with the air during the fall was a bit shocking.
The next moment, a violent explosion raised a huge cloud of flames and smoke, one after another!
Bombs weighing 100 kilograms or 250 kilograms fell on the ground in Trent Lawken from time to time. When the bomb exploded, it was like a mass of trees exploding on the ground. It was composed of steel, gunpowder and death.
tree from.
In this land of dead trees, almost no one can be spared!
In the past three days, what have the Argentine officers and soldiers who guarded here suffered?
What kind of despair it should be!
Faced with such a bombing that they were unable to fight back, they had no other emotions except despair. They didn't even know where to hide, hiding in a shelter? The violent explosion directly collapsed the fortifications.
, the bunkers became tombs. The trenches would be flattened in the explosion.
Whether they were hiding in trenches or hiding in shelters, the bombs that fell from the sky were always buried alive underneath like gophers.
And what is the most tragic thing? It must have been a direct hit by the bomb. All living things within a radius of 100 meters with the center of the explosion completely disappeared from the world. The human body was mixed with the raised soil, regardless of you or me.
!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Life has reached a certain balance here at this moment!
In fact, it is just integrating into the earth...
But for the living people, they don’t want to blend into the earth, but what can they do?
Besides death, I don't know what other options there are.
But in just three days, General Alsina seemed to have aged more than ten years, and so did most of the people around him. As the chief of staff, Rocca silently smoked his pipe, his beard
His hair and hair were all messy, his eye circles were dark, and he looked like he had not slept well.
How could anyone sleep during such a bombing? Even if they fell asleep, they would be awakened by nightmares, in which the bombing continued.
What should we do now?
Everyone is thinking about this issue.
"From three days ago to now, the Chinese have carried out more than twelve bombings on our positions, including using giant bombs once a day, each time twelve bombs, each time..."
After only half of the report, the officer who was reporting was speechless and couldn't speak anymore. His haggard face showed despair, and in the end he even shouted in an almost desperate tone.
"General, now that death has come here, there is nothing we can do at all. What can we do? The only thing we can pray for is that the bomb does not fall on our heads. We have bunkers above us. Our shelter seems to be very strong. What can we do?
There is more than one meter of soil on the ground, but God can testify that there is no need for heavy bombs. As long as the bombs they drop, they will definitely break through the soil and logs, and then blow everyone in the shelter into the sky!
What can we do, spit in the sky? God, people are dying every minute now. We were killed by the Nanhua people without even seeing their appearance. How many of us have they killed?
Ten thousand people? Twenty thousand people? No, if this continues, in a week at most, all of us will die. Damn it, Alsina, we will all die..."
The colonel suddenly collapsed and burst into tears. He even sat on the ground in despair and burst into tears. At this time, no one would think that he was losing his temper. Not to mention him, even the generals wanted to cry.
Many of them have been fighting for a lifetime, and of course their opponents are Indians in many cases. But even the Indians are not as desperate as they are. At least the Indians' spears can penetrate the bodies of Argentine soldiers.
But what about them?
Their rifles were unable to cause any damage to the airship! Such despair was enough to make anyone collapse.
"Just today, I took a rifle and shot at an airship in the sky. For such a big target, let alone one shot, even dozens or hundreds of shots would have no meaning..."
In fact, with the piss-like curved trajectories of rifles in these days, shooting in the air is simply nonsense. Let alone the height of 500 meters, the rifle bullet only hits the air to a height of one to two hundred meters, so it is probably a curve.
It fell.
For the people on the airship, all this was as relaxing as a vacation. They were just throwing bombs out of the cabin one by one - the manual type, although it was a bit tiring, but it was certain.
, this job is definitely easier than being bombed on the ground.
After one round of bombing, the airship slowly adjusted its direction and flew towards itself. Before leaving, they even dropped a few more boxes of "aviation darts" as a "prank". Regardless of whether it had any effect, but for
For people on the ground, the psychological damage caused by darts and bombs is irreparable. The powerlessness in the sky makes everyone despair.
Finally, the sound of the explosion disappeared, the soil that had originally fallen along the cracks in the logs stopped in the tremor of the explosion, and the earth stopped shaking. Only then did Alsina speak as if he had come back to his senses.
"Today's bombing should be almost over. Now let's count the casualties. By the way..."
Looking up, Alsina asked.
"How many days will we have enough food to last? They blew up our warehouse yesterday. Has the telegraph been repaired?"
Alsina's incoherent appearance revealed his inner thoughts. For General Alsina, who is over sixty years old, he has experienced too many wars in his life since the day he entered military school fifty years ago.
What does war look like to him?
It's the kind where everyone holds rifles, marches to the beat of drums, and then shoots at each other from a distance of a hundred meters, again and again, until the opponent is driven back, and then charges with bayonets.
This is the war he understands, even in Paraguay. Although Minie rifles, Spencer rifles and Gatling guns have changed the appearance of war beyond recognition, the battlefield is still the same, rifles against rifles, cannons against cannons,
It's soldier against soldier. In the final analysis, war is still war.
But what about now?
Alsina was a little at a loss, because from the beginning, the war he faced was a strange war that he didn't know what to do.
Even now, there is an iron nail next to his desk - it is the "Silent Death" thrown by the South Chinese. It has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Many troops suffered death on the way here.
of baptism.
Then what?
Another giant bomb, a bomb as big as a giant tree. To exaggerate, it is as big as a house - at least it is long enough.
How powerful would a bomb like that be when it exploded?
Destroy the world!
What could they do in the face of such a near-destructive bombing?
All that can wait is death.
die!
He raised his head and looked at the people in the shelter. Through the choking smoke, he could see that each of them looked lost and at a loss.
The war may be over!
Even if they persist, all that awaits them is death!
Finally, he sighed heavily, stood up, looked at everyone and said.
"Gentlemen, I think... we have tried our best. Now, it is time to end the pain of both parties. Fortunately, our opponents are civilized people."
How could he not be a civilized person?
How can a non-civilized person build an airship that even Europeans cannot build?
Since the other party is a civilized person, everything can be negotiated...
"General, do we want to surrender?"
Rocca looked at General Alsina and asked. As the chief of staff, of course he had to ask the general about his intentions.
"No, it's for everyone."
General Alsina's expression looked solemn, he looked at Roca and said.
"Now we all know that it is necessary for the war to continue at this point. It is not that we are not brave enough, but that we are unable to fight against all this. If it continues, it will be nothing more than letting everyone die. If...
"
Looking at his subordinates in the bunker, General Alsina said with a serious expression.
"If someone has to bear all this, let me bear it. Gentlemen, thank you for your efforts. Now it is time to end it all."
When he said these words, General Alsina's heart was extremely complicated. When the war just broke out, he once gave a speech in Congress that made everyone excited.
"Our pride as a strong nation forces us to eradicate this group of barbarians who have taken away our property as soon as possible. Whether it is reasonable or using force, we must accomplish this goal - in the name of the law
, in the name of progress, in the name of our own security, in the name of the richest, most fertile land in this republic."
Even now, General Alsina's speech is still posted in the streets and alleys of Argentina, on those bulletin boards. Once upon a time, he, like all Argentines, was dismissive of South China.
They're just yellow people like Indians, so what's the big deal?
But the cruel reality gave him a slap in the face. Now that he had suffered an unprecedented setback, his whole will was on the verge of collapse.
He didn't know what other options there were besides surrender.
"General..."
He opened his mouth, but Luo Ka couldn't continue.
Now it is clear to everyone that they have no other choice...
