War is full of partings, but more of them are deaths!
War itself is destruction and death.
No one has a deeper understanding of this than the Brazilians. Since the outbreak of the war, they have been fighting a completely asymmetric war.
This war was something they had never experienced before and had never imagined. The rules of war had completely changed.
"During the Paraguayan War, we fought with the Paraguayans with bayonets, rifles, and cannons. We could see our enemies, but what about now?"
Under the canopy, Prince Gaston, riding on a horse, complained again.
"We don't know where the enemy is at all. We can't even see him. You see..."
Pointing to the sky, there were three airships flying slowly in the blue sky.
"Arakan, you see, they only need to stay in the sky to destroy our army with bombs. They use airships to divide us into isolated individuals. In addition to waiting for their attack in the trenches,
As soon as we take action, their bombs will fall on our heads, but we must take action, but the damn airship..."
The airship is right above their heads!
Chief of Staff Aragan sighed helplessly after listening to the prince's words.
"Your Highness, we must make full use of the night march."
Gaston nodded and then said.
"If it is only at night, by the time we arrive in Sao Paulo, the place may have already fallen. We must seize the time and wait for the airship to leave before the troops continue to move forward."
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, the airship in the sky finally disappeared from their sight.
"The airship flew over!"
After several airships flew away in the sky, the Brazilians who were hiding in the rain forest breathed a sigh of relief.
"Order the troops to continue marching."
Using binoculars to observe the retreating airship, the commander of the Brazilian army, Prince Gaston, ordered that as the son-in-law of the Brazilian emperor, he once led the Brazilian army to occupy Paraguay. That was the most glorious moment in his life, but what about now?
He found that he had become a ground mouse - in order to avoid bombings from airships, they were as cautious as mice, sometimes hiding in the rainforest, and sometimes marching at night.
However, it was precisely because of his caution that his army did not suffer much losses after retreating from the front.
"Damn, why are their airships everywhere in the sky?"
Once again, Prince Gaston stared at the sky and cursed.
"Hurry up, we have to get out of this ghost place before they find us!"
Although Prince Gaston seemed very cautious, it was extremely difficult for this army of 150,000 people to completely conceal their whereabouts. Although they hid, the airship cruising in the air still discovered some
Just when Prince Gaston thought he had escaped this airship force, he did not know that he and his force had been exposed. At an altitude of 70 kilometers away, the observer discovered this airship force with a high-power telescope.
Huge army.
"Da da da……"
In the silent airship cabin, the ticking sound of the telegraph was very pleasant. Although the radio station was only invented a few years ago and was still top secret, in order to cooperate with the "safari tactics" in the air, Ming Dynasty still equipped each safari unit with one.
radio.
As the telegram was sent, the "safari" airships in the sky were like sharks smelling the smell of blood. They adjusted their courses one after another and gathered towards a target. An unprecedented airship force was assembled in the air.
With.
While the airships were gathering towards a target from all directions, the mighty army on the ground still looked at the sky vigilantly. Although under the careful command of Prince Gaston, they did not encounter many air attacks, but they were also attacked by air attacks.
Several times, they were well aware of the harm caused by Silent Attacks and did not dare to relax at all. Everyone knew very well what it meant to relax their vigilance on the battlefield!
die!
In the mighty march, thousands of horse-drawn carriages and artillery carriages formed a queue several kilometers long. Brazilian soldiers in blue military uniforms formed two long blue lines on both sides of the carriages and horses.
While they were marching, they would always look up at the surrounding sky from time to time.
For Brazilians, the most terrifying existence in 1877 was definitely not the devil, but the Ming Dynasty's airships. Those airships were condescending hunters, and they... were just prey.
Although Prince Gaston sent a large number of lookouts to defend against airships, it is not easy to detect airships at an altitude of more than two thousand meters. Because of the distance, airships painted with aviation camouflage can easily be hidden in the sky.
, blending into the blue sky and white clouds.
What's even more frightening is that they made no sound when they arrived, just like normal attacks. When they flew over the Brazilian army, they began to descend rapidly by deflating.
As the airship descended, bombs were dropped, and dozens of airships dropped thousands of cluster bombs.
Once again, when the cluster bomb exploded in the air, hundreds of thousands of small bombs the size of radish rained down like hailstones.
"Airship, airship..."
The marching Brazilians on the ground discovered the airship. After screaming in terror, they fled in all directions, but their escape speed could not keep up with... the dispersion range of the bomb.
Suddenly, violent explosions occurred one after another, bombs were constantly lying on the ground, and the blue marching column was immediately swallowed up by gunpowder smoke. The running Brazilian soldiers were knocked to the ground by the roaring shrapnel as they ran.
The moment the whistling shrapnel flew out of the gunpowder smoke, it knocked down groups of Brazilian soldiers. Amidst the successive explosions, there were whistling sounds of "chirp, chirp" everywhere, accompanied by "bang, bang bang" and "pop".
Sounds like "poof", the former is a bit like the muffled sound of a ripe watermelon being smashed, and the latter is like the sound of a bayonet piercing the body. Although the sounds are different, whether it is the former or the latter
, when those voices sounded, the fleeing Brazilian's body twisted for a moment, accompanied by splashes of blood and brain matter, and then fell down like a rag doll.
Everything happens in an instant. What happened in this instant?
In the violent explosion, the originally chaotic marching column turned into hell - the walking people suddenly walked from the human world into hell.
The god of death came quietly like this. Amidst the explosions one after another, desperate cries rang out in the explosions. The injured people covered their wounds, lying in a pool of blood, struggling and howling...
