"There are no heroes to make Zhuzi famous. Foreign barbarians bully me and China has no one!"
When the artillery fire stopped and smoke filled the air, Lu Rongting looked at the British soldiers who had landed on the opposite side to build temporary defenses, and said angrily, "The British and barbarians are using their ships and artillery to do whatever they want. Let's see how long they can continue to be arrogant when the main force of our national defense forces wipe out the Argentine whites!"
"
At the end of the Battle of Buenos Aires, Lu Rongting, Wang Shizhen, and Yang Guangzong cooperated with each other and successfully repelled several attacks by Argentine guerrilla armed forces against the transport team. As a result, they gained the rank of captain and were admired by Liu Yongfu and He Yanliang.
, was temporarily assigned to the 3rd Security Brigade to serve as company commander.
During the Second Argentine War, the National Defense Forces suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Especially in the Battle of Buenos Aires that ended a few days ago, tens of thousands of experienced National Defense Force veterans and grassroots officers died in the tenacity of the Argentine Federal Army.
Fighting back.
There were nearly 200 casualties among battalion and company-level officers, and more than 800 casualties among platoon and squad level backbones. In some fierce battles, organic army battalions often lost more than half of their officers. The army had no commanders.
The troops had no command, and the shortage of more than a thousand junior officers forced the frontline headquarters to decide to urgently promote a group of meritorious officers to serve as front-line officers.
Relying on the news that the General Staff Headquarters promulgated emergency recruitment regulations for frontline officers and their actual military exploits, the three of them, Lu Rongting, were promoted two levels in a row before completing their military education at the military academy, from trainee second lieutenant to official captain company commander of the National Defense Forces, and thus touched the intermediate level.
Officer's Threshold.
The Tigray Town National Defense Force is affiliated to the Third Brigade of the National Guard and the First Mixed Brigade of the National Defense Force. It is jointly commanded by Liu Yongfu, commander of the First Mixed Brigade, He Yanliang, deputy commander, and Shen Fushan, commander of the Third Brigade of the National Guard.
Yesterday evening, the National Defense Forces gathered around Buenos Aires dispersed. More than a thousand people from the First Mixed Brigade and the Third Guard Brigade also headed for Tigre under the order of Li Mingyuan to resist the British expeditionary fleet entering Paraná.
The river's first line of defense.
After being bombarded by ships and charged by infantry, they were suppressed by the British fleet for more than an hour. Lu Rongting was filled with anger, and even the soldiers of the Second Company of the Guard Army under his command started to shout.
"Just shooting guns in the river doesn't count. If you have the ability to fight knife-to-knife with men, I'm sure your sword will go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife!"
"Damn you thief, do you dare to come out and fight grandpa for 300 rounds!..."
Soldiers from all over China raised their voices and cursed the British officers and soldiers on the opposite side in the dialects of their hometowns to vent their nervousness, excitement and other complex emotions brought about by the first realization.
More than two-thirds of the soldiers under the command of Lu Rongting and the three men are newly recruited recruits. In the eyes of those recruits, the three Lu Rongting men are still babies who have not yet grown up. They happened to become officers because of their merit, otherwise they would be just like the big soldiers like them.
Lu Rongting was happy to mingle with his soldiers, saying some dirty words and greeting the families of the British soldiers with them. After seven or eight minutes, he observed that the British troops on the opposite side were not advancing forward. Lu Rongting summoned several subordinates and ordered: "Come here."
Captain Wang, Captain Yang, take a look over there and ask them what’s going on with the British troops there.”
He bowed his body and hurriedly performed a military salute. Several soldiers jumped into the tunnel and ran in the other two directions!
"Company Commander, according to me, Old Wang, these Yingyi devils may have been wandering at sea for a long time and are not stable when they return to land. Otherwise, why would they be so honest and stay on the river bank and dare not come over."
"Old Wang, you are talking fucking nonsense." Another soldier grinned and retorted, "You don't know the situation. I heard from the villagers in my hometown in Shandong that the British, foreigners and foreigners are the most lustful. They will cause harm wherever they go.
Women, even those in their fifties and sixties, are not spared, so the British and foreign devils must have interfered too much with the women in Brazil. They have lost their strength after getting off the ship, and they are busy recovering their energy now!"
"Haha, Tuesday Dog, you can't talk well, you can talk nonsense about anything."
A soldier who knew the other party's habits joked.
"What are you doing, ladies? There are a lot of white-skinned ladies in the Argentinian towns to the west of this town. If the British devils ruin them, I don't think any of you will be able to find a wife!"
"This is not possible. The territory we finally gained cannot be allowed to be harmed by white-skinned women by British devils. I still hope that His Highness will be kind and reward a fair-skinned woman to continue the family line."
An older soldier shook his head and said,
"Hahaha, look at how cowardly you are. Even if His Highness favors fair-skinned women, it won't be your turn."
"It's not my turn, why don't you talk nonsense and not let me think about it"...
"Okay, okay, don't even think about women. To tell you the truth, the General Staff Headquarters has let out the wind. After defeating the British, all officers and soldiers including the field army, garrison army, and front-line militiamen will be able to marry wives within two years. Take advantage of now
If there is a chance to fight, be more courageous, strive to perform more meritorious service before the end of the war, and marry a wife as soon as possible, otherwise all the pretty ones will be married off by others, and you can only marry the widows picked by others."
Lu Rongting couldn't see that his soldiers were reincarnated as perverts, so he stopped them with words.
"I think widows are very good. The widows are old enough and know how to love people. I want to marry a widow."
A soldier whispered dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, Lao Wang, you fucking taste good."
Several soldiers stood in the tunnel and let out a burst of suppressed laughter.
In the calm and tense position, many company and platoon-level troops used dirty jokes or other topics about women to relieve the boring battlefield life during the long wait.
The imbalance of the gender ratio between men and women has always been a major problem that has troubled Han government officials. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the total Chinese population was only more than 100,000. Eleven years later, in the first half of 1879, the total Chinese and naturalized Chinese population was nearly 6 million.
The gender ratio between men and women has gradually decreased, but the number of single Chinese men has increased exponentially.
There were 110,000 single Chinese men in 1868, 400,000 single men in 1875, and 800,000 single Chinese men in 1879.
The Chinese who left their homes and immigrated to South America accounted for only a small part of the total population of the mainland, and the number of Chinese women who immigrated has always been lower than the number of men.
From Annan, North Korea either forced them or spent money to redeem them from other channels. They made several efforts to increase the number of foreign women, but in terms of the huge number of men, they still could not meet the local demand.
The influence of the Han Dynasty in places such as Annan, Korea, and even Japan and Thailand was weak. Undisclosed immigration of women from other countries was difficult and costly. Compared with digesting native South American women, the effect was limited.
In South America, Argentina has a total population of 1.5 million. Years of war have resulted in a large loss of local white youths, and the proportion of white women has increased equally. Even without detailed investigation, the Chinese government can estimate the approximate number of women of working age in Argentina.
.
Compared with the consequences of forcing unmarried white Argentine women to marry single Chinese men, it is obviously more important to speed up the assimilation of white Argentines and solve the problem of the imbalance of gender ratio between men and women in Han.
