Chapter 948 The end of the empire (Third update, please subscribe)
What should war look like?
It should be a hail of bullets and blood and flesh.
should be……
But it's definitely not like this.
poison gas!
The poison gas directly destroyed the Brazilian defense line. On the two-kilometer-deep front, tens of thousands of Brazilian soldiers were either killed by the poison gas or injured in the poison gas.
While the Brazilians struggled desperately in the poisonous gas, the Ming army continued to advance. What Wang Qingshan saw along the way was hell, with dead people everywhere - the corpses everywhere reminded him that the silence between heaven and earth was because
What, because of death!
After advancing nearly three kilometers, there was finally some movement between heaven and earth - violent coughing coming from the trenches ahead. Although the diffuse green smoke blocked his sight, he could still see the trenches surrounded by
There were corpses, and among the corpses, there were still some vague figures struggling there.
It's Brazilian!
"kill!"
Without any hesitation, Wang Qingshan pulled the trigger the moment he saw the enemy. While he shot down the enemy with one shot, his comrades around him were already killing him with their bayonets drawn.
On the battlefield, no one is allowed to think too much. A slight hesitation will lead to death. Those coughing Brazilians, when they see the enemy rushing towards them, they instinctively pick up weapons and resist, but their
The resistance was weak, and many of them had even thrown away their guns long ago.
"kill!"
bayonet!
As the soldiers screamed to kill and pierced the enemy's body, the soldiers were surprised to find that the enemy in front of them was simply vulnerable. The seemingly strong black men were weaker than they imagined. They even faced him directly.
Bayonet assassination.
"kill!"
Accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, the bayonet sank into the enemy's chest. After emptying the pistol, he picked up a rifle from the ground and stabbed the enemy. Wang Qingshan was surprised to see that many Brazilians were being killed.
, they actually had relief smiles on their faces.
The fierce battle that they imagined did not happen at all. The soldiers almost easily broke down the "resistance" of the Brazilians. If resistance means death!
In front of them, the green poisonous gas had become much lighter, like a shock mist. As the troops continued to advance, there were fewer and fewer dead people and more and more injured people in front. Facing the Ming army's attack, they
Most of them fled in a hurry, coughing as they fled. Some people vomited blood and fell down while running.
This is no longer a battle, but a sweep!
The soldiers who came from the rear ended the lives of those people with bayonets. In this way, they pursued for more than 8 kilometers. They did not stop until the green poisonous smoke almost completely dissipated, but their footsteps also stopped.
It didn't stop for long.
In less than half an hour, hundreds of trucks arrived. Those trucks were driving on the muddy battlefield. After the trucks passed the defense line of the forward troops, they drove forward for more than a hundred meters.
Then they changed direction directly on the battlefield, facing the Brazilian defense line with the rear of the car, and then the engineers detonated the specially made explosive plug again. As before, at the moment when the explosive plug exploded, hundreds of tons of chlorine gas once again
After it was released, the green chlorine gas once again formed a huge poisonous gas ball, which rolled towards the Brazilian defense line under the influence of the earth wind.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the poison gas attack, of course, because it was the first time to use poison gas and it was not known how much chlorine should be used, the military transported a total of more than 1,200 tons of chlorine gas. According to the plan, the military released it from three locations at the same time.
More than 300 tons of chlorine gas were produced. In order to prevent the concentration of chlorine gas from diluting and reducing its lethality, the military specially sent an airship to observe the concentration of chlorine gas. When it was found that the concentration had decreased, it immediately dispatched vehicle troops to transport the chlorine gas bottles directly to the front line.
Cast again.
Such continuous release of poisonous gas has never happened before. Even in the First World War in another world, the belligerents never used such a method to continuously release poisonous gas. But now, in the Ming Dynasty, the officers of the Ming Dynasty despite
It was the first time they got this "fresh toy", but they still followed their own ideas and used the most direct and violent method to apply poison gas on a large scale.
One shot is a thousand tons!
It has to be said that such heavy poison gas directly destroyed the resistance of the Brazilian army. In just one day, the Brazilian defense line completely collapsed - the high concentration of poison gas directly killed more than 100,000 people, and
The remaining Brazilians, whether they were white officers or black soldiers, completely collapsed. The white officers took off their uniforms and fled back home, while the slave soldiers turned into thugs and fled back to Rio de Janeiro from the front line.
On the road, there was burning, killing, looting and "zero dollar purchases".
On the night of February 6, even though the Ming army was still more than ten kilometers away from Rio de Janeiro, the streets were full of gunfire and flames. The troops who had withdrawn from the front line were looting and setting fire everywhere. Even the Capitol Building was set on fire.
It was burned, the men were killed, and the women were insulted.
Around the palace, the Royal Guards are guarding the last piece of pure land in the city. Thousands of nobles and civilians have fled here to avoid the thugs. Obviously the purpose of those thugs is to rob, not to fight with the Royal Guards. There are Royal
The Guard's protection makes it safe here, at least for the time being.
But it was only temporary. Rio de Janeiro was filled with gunshots from rioters and cries of civilians. While buildings in the city were being set on fire, the palace was also in chaos.
"Your Majesty, we have to leave. The Ming army will occupy this place at any time. The rebels in the city are looting everywhere. We..."
Although the marshal did not say anything, Pedro II didn't know what he wanted to say.
Brazil is finished!
He looked out the window at the burning city.
one day!
It only took the Ming army one day to destroy their resistance.
"Poison gas, damn it, they are followers of Satan, how can they use poison gas?"
Faced with the complaints of others, Pedro II just sighed helplessly, poison gas, the Ming Dynasty destroyed everything with poison gas.
Brazil is dead...
"Come on board!"
Without any hesitation, Emperor Pedro II of Brazil made a rational choice when facing the Ming army that was about to invade the city, just like his ancestors made a choice when facing Napoleon's invasion.
Of course not, resist until the end and fight to the death.
