Chapter 321 From Sky to Land (Third update, please subscribe)

"I have ordered the troops to open a road to Buenos Aires as quickly as possible and at all costs. We must achieve the goal of destroying the Argentine army as soon as possible!"

Once upon a time, the Pampas was peaceful, but now the shadow of war hangs over this endless prairie.

Although the sun above was very strong, the people standing in the shadow could not feel the sunlight at all - the huge airship blocked the sunlight, but it could not block people's enthusiasm. The soldiers kept moving boxes from the carriage. In the cabin of the airship, the airship soldiers used pulleys to lift the boxes onto the airship, and then placed them one by one in the cabin.

"Left Twelve..."

The cabin seemed a bit stuffy, and the airship soldiers in the aisle took off their uniforms. While they were busy, Wang Xinyue, the captain of the airship brigade, looked out of the window and saw twelve airships on the grassland neatly arranged here like guards. Although there was no mooring tower, the airships were kept in the air five or six meters above the ground with the help of mooring ropes. There was a carriage parked under each airship, and the soldiers were loading supplies onto the airships, such as fuel, weapons, and even food, although there was no need for this at all.

But the most important thing is the weapons. This is the first attack of the airship troops!

In just a few months, with the efforts of several factories, a total of 12 airships were manufactured. This is definitely a miracle.

“It’s really spectacular!”

Standing on the ground, Zhao Xiangbai was amazed and took a photo with his Phoenix 100 35mm camera - a family portrait of twelve FT3-1 airships. In fact, the photos he took were destined to go down in history, because this was the first real air-to-ground battle in human history.

From the air to the ground!

The pattern of warfare was changed on this day!

A complete change took place. From then on, war had become unrecognizable to the world, and those armies that were still immersed in the old era were destined to be eliminated.

After nearly an hour of replenishment, the airship troops that came all the way from Nanhua sent out the departure signal. The ground crew immediately untied the sandbags on the mooring ropes and pulled the mooring ropes in groups of twelve until all the mooring sandbags were loosened.

“1…2…3…let go!”

Following the command, the ground crew members released the mooring ropes at the same time. If they were still holding on to them, they would probably be dragged into the air.

The airship took off.

The twelve airships rose slowly like prehistoric behemoths, the roar of their engines echoing, and soon they flew to a height of thousands of meters. At this time, the roar of their engines could no longer be heard.

Although there was no deliberate camouflage, at an altitude of thousands of meters, those white airships were still almost perfectly hidden in the sky. At most, one could see a white object.

But even if we saw it, what would it matter? Who could imagine what was flying in the sky?

The twelve airships were flying forward. Wang Xinyue, the captain, once again took the sextant to measure the position, while the deputy captain Li Long was drawing a route map. They used the sextant and longitude table to determine their position just like sailing on the sea, except that their ocean was the sky.

"We will arrive over our destination in about two hours!"

Their destination is Trent Lacon, just 30 kilometers from the border, where more than 30,000 Argentine troops are now gathered.

"Let's give everyone a break!"

Wang Xinyue glanced at the photos taped to the porthole. They were photos taken during the reconnaissance of Trent Lauken three days ago. Phoenix Camera Company designed a telescopic camera for the airship troops. The photos taken at an altitude of 2,000 meters could clearly show the carriages on the ground.

This time their target was the barracks in the rear. Thousands of tents were scattered on the grassland, just exposed and without any defense at all.

What precautions are needed?

Since the army arrived here, tens of thousands of Argentine soldiers have dug trenches and fortresses along the Trente Laucan. Barbed wire and trenches. Now the Trente Laucan has become a fortress. According to them, "This is Argentina's "Fort Humaita"."

Fort Humaita is a fortress in Paraguay, equipped with hundreds of large and small bunkers and more than 300 artillery pieces of various calibers. The waterways leading to Asuncion are all within its range. It is known as the "Sevastopol of South America".

A few years ago, Argentines and Brazilians shed blood and tears there during the Paraguayan War.

Now as General Adolfo Alsina said - we will make the South Chinese shed their blood and tears here!

The military camp was located in this field fortress built with hundreds of cannons and fortresses. Although it was exposed, the trenches, breastworks, ditches and barbed wire were enough to block anyone from attacking the military camp.

The military camp was quite lively at noon. Soldiers from all over Argentina happily crowded in front of the kitchen wagon and lined up to receive lunch. Various languages ​​such as Spanish, Italian and German echoed in the camp, fully showing that this is a country of immigrants.

"I say, Duke, are you thinking about your lover?"

While enjoying his lunch, PeeDee saw Duke staring blankly and teased him.

"Lover? Which one?"

Coming back to his senses, Duke pretended to be surprised.

"Which one are you talking about?"

"How many more do you have?"

"How can Italian men not have several lovers?"

Duke said, pointing into the distance with a smug laugh.

"How could I not think of them? They are all beautiful in their own way. Some have beautiful hair, some have beautiful eyes, some have bodies that can drive anyone crazy, and some have pretty faces that will make you…."

When Duke was telling all this, it seemed as if he really had so many lovers, but in reality? Perhaps, possibly, at most, he only had one lover.

Italian men are passionate and good lovers, but they are all just paupers. Women are always realistic!

But no one exposed him. People just listened to it as a story to pass the time.

But Duke's voice suddenly stopped, as if he was recalling the face of his lover.

Piddy looked up and said as he ate.

"Duke, stop bragging..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked up and talked to himself.

"What? It's raining? The sun is shining."
