There are always many accidents in war. When the bombs roared from the sky, the Argentine naval officers and soldiers stationed at the naval port did not realize the danger at all.
Although the airship bombing seemed earth-shattering, they still discovered a shocking secret while being in it.
There seems to be no accuracy in airship bombing, and their bombs are always floating in the air. No one knows where the bomb will eventually land, but what is certain is that they want to accurately throw the bomb into a yard.
It's certainly not that easy.
But sometimes, some accidents always happen. Just when these Argentine navy officers and soldiers were hiding in the fortress, chatting and laughing with a relaxed expression, a bomb hit the arsenal in the fortress.
Following a violent explosion, the sailors in the fortress lost consciousness.
After the navy's arsenal was hit, hundreds of tons of artillery shells, gunpowder and other supplies were detonated by heavy bombs. The violent explosion flattened everything within a direct radius of several hundred meters.
The violent explosion even formed a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high.
Such an astonishing scene made Wang Xinyue and the others unable to help but marvel at it.
It's all luck!
What good luck!
Wang Xinyue exclaimed.
"We've definitely hit their arsenal!"
Amidst the exclamations, Wang Xinyue saw the huge Union Jack flag on the warehouse by the sea through the billowing smoke. Although the flag was a bit eye-catching, he could still see it clearly.
"It's the British flag."
Although Wang Xinyue felt a little eager to give it a try, the thought only passed by for a moment.
"That's not our goal."
The reason why he did not regard that warehouse as a target was not because of the flag on it, nor because it was not their target.
It's because the bombs on the airship are precious. If you deliberately bomb that warehouse, maybe dropping dozens of bombs may not have any effect. After all, aerial bombing is not accurate at all. The only way to complete the set task at this time is
the most important.
It's just a British flag. Even with their arrogance, it's not a big deal.
"Notify Boat No. 7 to bomb the target area."
Following Wang Xinyue's order, the signalman in the airship cabin wrote his order on a blackboard. In an era without radio, the blackboard, the most primitive tool, became the way for airship troops to communicate in the air.
Different from the high-explosive bombs carried by other airships, the No. 7 boat carried napalm bombs. Its goal was very simple, which was to bomb the slums near the port and use napalm bombs to set fire to the houses in that area - there
Buildings are basically wooden or semi-wooden structures. In other words, they are very easy to ignite.
After dozens of napalm bombs were dropped from the air into the target area, a raging fire immediately broke out. The moment the napalm bombs exploded, houses were engulfed in flames, and the flames instantly ignited the wooden houses.
, dry wood became the best fuel, but it only took a moment for the slums to burn. At the beginning, the flames were dots, at least hundreds of them. Because no one was there to save them, the flames only used
It took less than half an hour to spread. As the fire spread, the flames finally connected into one piece, and the fire spread across the street.
What's even more frightening is that the sea breeze blowing from the mouth of the La Plata River further fueled the fire. The strong wind swept the burning wood, tables, and wooden beds wantonly across the city. The fire also ignited many nearby houses.
Large fires broke out in the city, with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees.
The raging fire greedily sucked in the surrounding oxygen, forming a blazing fire storm. The flames were so high under the influence of the storm that they even hovered hundreds of meters into the sky. The strong wind caused by the fire swept countless combustible objects into the air, and then again
It fell to the ground, further expanding the fire.
In the end, the entire port area was ignited. The mountains of goods in the port warehouse became good fuel. People who were originally hiding in the port area fled to the port. Many people even fled directly into the water to avoid the fire.
The few people jumped on the boat and escaped to the Rio de la Plata.
The flames outside the warehouse also made the British expatriates who were originally hiding in the warehouse feel threatened, and they who were still hiding in the warehouse left the warehouse one after another.
Not long after they left the warehouse, flames ignited the warehouse with the British flag on it. In the burning flames, the warehouse and the British flag on the roof disappeared in the raging flames.
"Oh my god! What the hell happened..."
Angela, like many others, escaped to the boat with Anna and the others amid the scorching flames, although they were temporarily safe.
But when they turned around, what they saw was a city in flames. Half of the city was burning, and the flames spiraled into the air, scattering tens of millions of sparks in every corner of the city.
The city is burning!
The city is being destroyed!
The scene in front of them made everyone dumbfounded. Even the officers and soldiers of the airship unit in the air were dumbfounded. They did not expect that they would create such a fire. In fact, it was just the wind that helped the fire. Just because
After people left the city, no one went to put out the fire.
The billowing smoke engulfed half of the city. As the airship slowly sailed away from the city, Edward Thornton and others on the battleship couldn't help but have a thought in their minds -
They came, bringing death and destruction with them.
They left, leaving behind death and destruction everywhere!
Everything is destroyed!
Is this the true power of the airship?
At this moment, Edward Thornton became a little nervous.
Because he knows that Britain does not have such weapons!
But this weapon has now fully demonstrated its power. In this case, how will the UK fight against these airships in the future?
In fact, the fire did not burn for long. After all, the only buildings in Putrajaya are the port area and nearby slums. Most of the buildings are made of wood, and most places are made of masonry.
But even so, after witnessing this apocalyptic scene, everyone was stunned. The next morning, although the flames slowly extinguished during the night, the black smoke was still lingering on the ruins that had been burned.
As the area rose, people fleeing the fire on boats came ashore.
The shore was a complete mess, with burned-out houses everywhere. Angela and the girls squeezed out of the crowd. They passed through the people who were crowded together. Through the choking smoke, they saw the doctors and stretcher carriers.
People were busy carrying the wounded.
Perhaps because everyone was escaping in a hurry, there were not many injured people, which seemed to be a blessing among misfortunes.
But when they walked to the train station, they stood there suddenly, and they were all frightened by what they saw.
Thousands of wounded, like corpses, lay close together, head to toe, in rows on the ground, along the sidewalk, stretching out in an endless row.
Some people were lying stiffly and quietly, while others were crouching there moaning. Swarms of flies were flying around on the wounded, crawling on their faces and buzzing everywhere.
It's all blood, it's all the laments of the injured, and the screams of curses caused by pain.
Blood and death!
The scene in front of her, mixed together, made Angela want to vomit. Among the wounded, medical staff were running around in a hurry, sometimes even stepping on the wounded.
, because there were too many wounded people, they were arranged very closely. Those who were stepped on could only groan slowly and look at it in despair...
"Oh my God! What the hell happened here..."
Angela felt like she was about to vomit. She covered her mouth with her hands and took two steps back, not daring to go any further.
Emily, who was only thirteen years old, was so frightened that she didn't even dare to open her eyes anymore. She hid behind her sister Anna, while Anna watched this scene with trembling fear.
What's going on here?
Only some of the troops who stayed in the city to guard the city suffered "small losses" during the bombing.
But Angela and the others have never seen such a scene. Now thousands of wounded people are lying on the ground in the sun, covered in blood and stench, just lying there, letting flies crawl all over their bodies.
, she has never seen such a tragic scene.
This is a place full of pain, stench, and death. If there really is a hell, then hell will look like this...
If there was a hell on earth, it would be bombed Buenos Aires.
Once upon a time, for the people in the rear, they were far away from the battlefield. Even after the war broke out, they could not feel the cruelty of the war, or they would see the wounded or death when they saw it.
When all this happens, the war will be over.
And now?
Under airship bombing, there is no safe rear, and the seemingly safe rear will also be bombed.
Civilians, cities, everything could be destroyed.
"Is this, is this war?"
Angela was a little frightened, looking at the hell-like appearance in front of her.
She looked at the injured people lying on the ground desperately struggling and crying. Angela, who originally had a glimmer of hope that her husband could come back alive, was completely desperate at this moment.
What kind of lucky person could survive in such a hell?
Maybe some people could survive, but he... Angela closed her eyes in despair. At this moment, she completely gave up all hope in her heart.
Once upon a time, Angela had always stubbornly believed that her husband would come back alive. Even in the past days, it was this obsession that had been silently supporting her.
But what now?
After witnessing the destruction of the city, Angela's last hope was shattered. At this moment, she even understood that her lover was dead and died on the battlefield.
"God! Why are you making me face this?"
Just as Angela was talking to herself in despair, a wounded man cried out to her.
"Madam, please show mercy and give me some saliva. Give me some saliva..."
He was not the only injured person asking for help, other businessmen were also praying and crying for help.
But there were too many wounded people, and there were very few people who could take care of them. Listening to the wounded people's cries for help, Angela, who was originally full of sadness, saw the bucket not far away, so she walked straight over and held the bucket in her hand.
The wounded walked among them.
After Anna and Emily saw the scene in front of them, even though the tragic scene in front of them was very scary, they still followed Angela to take care of the wounded among the wounded and brought them tea and water.
At this time, they seemed to have forgotten their fear, forgotten their fear...
