Chapter 360: Argentina's Fury (Second update, please subscribe)
From the map, the City of 9th of July and the City of Las Flores, the two large armies of the South China Army were like two iron fists, attacking Buenos Aires. From the map, the 120,000 South China Army was only less than 170 kilometers away from Buenos Aires.
At this moment, inside and outside the city of Buenos Aires, the Argentine army was gathering. Although the bombing of the airships had brought mental trauma to everyone, they still stubbornly held their ground inside and outside the city. Tens of thousands of reinforcements from other provinces and local civil defense teams were digging trenches outside the city, building fortifications, and building barricades inside the city.
"Every patriotic Argentine has taken up arms. We will teach those damn barbarians a lesson in Buenos Aires! Use their blood to avenge the dead Argentines!"
Politicians can be seen in many places on the streets, where they are advocating and promoting their policies, while the military and police are taking away any man they meet on the street, whether he is old or young.
Every Argentine must stand up against the invasion of the barbarians and defend Argentina! Defend Buenos Aires!
The noise coming from the street was like a nightmare that always kept Angela awake. She woke up from nightmares countless times, in which the city was destroyed and everyone died in the bombing. After that day, she, like many others, was left with the trauma of war.
It was also on that day that the war turned the city into a military camp. Men were conscripted into the army, and women were not idle either. In order to get food, Angela became a nurse in the hospital, where she could get a salary for treating the wounded.
"I heard from the doctor that many people left by boat yesterday."
At the dining table, Shelly said to Angela.
"I plan to leave here too."
Anna looked at Aunt Sheri nervously.
"Aunt Sherri,"
"Anna, I'm sorry I can't stay with you all the time, but many people are leaving here. There is a British merchant ship in the port, but only British expatriates can board the ship. I asked at the embassy, and you can't leave with me."
Xie Li's tone seemed very calm, without any reluctance at all. It seemed that she did not think it was a big deal to abandon her nieces and nephews at this time.
"Then, then..."
Anna, who originally wanted to say something, opened her mouth but still didn't speak.
"However, you can continue to live here after I leave, Angela. I hope you can take good care of my home!"
When Xie Li spoke these words to Angela, it was as if she was talking to a maid.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Angela nodded and said.
What else can I say at this time? That morning, when Xie Li left in the carriage, Angela looked at Anna and Emily and said to them.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you."
Her words made Anna's uneasy heart relax a little.
"Angela, when will this war end..."
"Soon, soon, maybe..."
Maybe this city will fall soon!
Although there was no confidence in the city's ability to hold out, it had already been transformed into a large military camp. While the men took up the weapons left over from the War of Independence and dug up paving stones to build barricades in the city, the women were not idle either. Even Christina, the most famous singer in Putrajaya, brought her band to the military camps on the front line to entertain the troops.
"That morning, at dawn, the mountains shook, the blood boiled, the sky was full of artillery fire, the airships covered the clouds, and the quiet La Plata River roared..."
With the accompaniment of the band, Cristina's singing voice rang out on the stage, and the soldiers below the stage all grinned and listened to her song, which was the song she wrote for the defenders of Argentina.
"...No one has ever heard, no one has ever witnessed, what is the true wrath of Argentina, to settle accounts with blood, all murderers..."
When Christina, who was standing on the stage, sang to this part, she even made a throat-slitting gesture with her hand, and the audience instantly became excited. No matter whether it was the reinforcements from other provinces or the newly recruited civil defense team, they all stood up excitedly, clapping and howling, venting their inner emotions.
Amid the soldiers' excited shouts, Christina continued to sing, and at that moment, she seemed to feel that she had become a defender, just like all of them.
"Thank you, thank you for your dedication, defenders of the city..."
After the song ended, looking at the excited soldiers, Christina spoke to them a little excitedly.
"I believe you can defeat those damned barbarians and make them..."
Suddenly, the sound of an alarm interrupted her words and someone shouted loudly.
"Airship, airship..."
As soon as the shouts were heard, the Argentine soldiers who were watching the performance all fled in all directions. In just a moment, the originally crowded scene became empty, and Christina hadn't even reacted yet. She stood on the stage and looked up at the airship in the sky. Although the airship was still far away, she could already feel the earth shaking.
In the distance, columns of smoke rose into the sky and thunderous explosions were heard. Looking at the smoke in the distance, Christina felt her whole body trembling. At this moment, she seemed to see destruction again.
The last time was this scene in front of her eyes, just like she woke up from nightmares again and again, and now, the nightmare reappeared before her eyes again.
"Oh my God! Those devils! They must have signed a contract with the devil. They must have sold their souls to the devil. Otherwise, how could they have such terrible weapons..."
Christina, standing on the stage, screamed in fear. During the last bombing, she was frightened even though she was dressed in her best clothes. The reason why she brought the band and dancers to the front line to entertain the troops was because she hoped to prove her courage through this, but what about now?
It seems like just a joke.
Even when she just heard the explosion in the distance, she wanted to turn around and run away, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't even lift them.
In fact, she didn't know that such fear was not a shameful thing at all. On that day, almost everyone who witnessed the destruction of Buenos Aires in the bombing was frightened by the devastating bombing. Not to mention her, even many soldiers were left with psychological trauma.
In such a shadow, what she felt was fear and terror, and this fear and terror came from the heart.
At this moment, she seemed to understand that she was just an ordinary timid woman.
"Christina, Christina..."
the housekeeper shouted, grabbing her shoulders.
"We have to get out of here quickly, Christina, what's wrong with you, poor child..."
Seeing Christina standing there stupidly as if she had no soul, the housekeeper shouted.
"Hurry, carry Christina to the carriage, we have to leave here quickly, quickly..."
When Christina was carried into the carriage, the housekeeper looked in the direction of the smoke, made the sign of the cross on her chest, and then said.
"By God, the war has begun..."
