Chapter 349 People in Troubled Times (First update, please subscribe)
"The troops from other provinces such as Santa Fe, Cordoba and Antrerios have gathered here... All the people have gathered here, and the same great emotion is stirring in all voices... Withdraw your hands from the sacred Argentina... We are ready to defend the honor and dignity of Argentina at all costs... The Italians have already thrown themselves into this sacred war... We Germans will also participate in the war to defend our motherland... We, the Germans, Italians, French, English, Irish, and Greeks living in Argentina will always regard Argentina as our motherland... We must unite and sacrifice for it like one person... We Russians... Poles, Latvians... Please let me make a statement as an Argentine... We are united in resisting invasion and are willing to sacrifice our lives for our country..."
On the streets of Buenos Aires, politicians and agitators shouted out this passionate congressional speech.
Argentines will fight to defend Argentina!
However, there are doubts about how many Argentines there are in Argentina. At least in the so-called Republic of Argentina, there are definitely not many native Argentines.
The so-called Argentines came from all over Europe. When they came to this place, they became the so-called Argentines and became the so-called masters of this land.
In Argentina, these "masters" from a foreign country united together in the face of the "invasion" of the South Chinese. It seemed that on this day, the Argentines appeared in this world.
Under the slogan of defending Argentina, tens of thousands of troops from other provinces entered the city and became the defenders of the city. Almost every man in the city took up arms. Some of them held flintlock rifles from the War of Independence, some held Enfield rifles, and some held the latest Remington rifles. Although the civil defense team used a variety of weapons and the command was chaotic, they were confident. It seemed that they could really stop the attack of the South China Army.
Under this call, it seemed that everyone was moved by patriotism. They were willing to sacrifice for the country, even their own lives.
However, for Angela, who had just arrived in Buenos Aires, what she felt was anger.
“Why?”
Standing in front of her door, Angela looked at the officer occupying her home and said.
"Who are you to live in my house, Colonel? My husband is also an officer. You have no right to requisition my home."
In any case, Angela did not expect that when he arrived in Buenos Aires and wanted to move into his own home, his house was occupied by a group of soldiers who came from nowhere.
As the host, she couldn't even drive these guests out of her home.
"Madam, please understand. Now everyone is trying to protect Buenos Aires. We can't sleep on the streets. Before you came, no one lived here, so the government let us live here. So, I hope you can understand, madam. I'm sorry. If you really have no place to live, I think there should be room to sleep in the attic, but..."
The officer looked at the beautiful lady and the girls behind her and reminded.
"Ma'am, I need to remind you that there is a group of men living here, normal and lonely men."
Are these the so-called defenders of Alice? Is this how they defend this country and its people from being invaded by barbarians?
But their every move is that of a true barbarian. These are the people who have the nerve to say that they are the protectors of this land.
"God will be ashamed of you for what you have done!"
Angela said angrily.
At this moment, Angela suddenly felt that the Nanhua soldiers who rescued it from the deserters were real gentlemen.
They never took anything from her, but instead saved her and gave her food and weapons so that she did not starve and could protect herself.
But what did these self-proclaimed defenders of Argentina do?
They are simply a bunch of robbers.
A group of bandits!
But what's the use of this?
Looking at the homes occupied by soldiers, Angela had to face a reality - she was homeless. Standing on the side of the road, she looked at Anna and Emily helplessly.
"Anna, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this..."
Angela's tone was full of apology as she looked at the girls.
"Angela, I think we still have somewhere else to go. Angela, do you remember Aunt Sheri? Maybe we can stay there."
Angela was no stranger to Sheri, she was the girls' aunt, but the woman had never returned home since she married the Englishman.
If I go to her now, will she welcome me?
But for the refugees who drifted to a foreign land, they had no choice. When they lived in the home of Anna's aunt Cherie, the war was still going on.
…
For Wang Taisheng, the woman he rescued a few days ago was just an experience he had on the battlefield. In the following days, although the army occupied the railway and was attacking northeastwards towards Buenos Aires, and although the main force of the Argentine army had surrendered in Trencaocan, the resistance of the civil defense teams in the towns along the way was still very tenacious.
On November 15, the infantry company where Wang Taisheng was stationed fought a tough battle with the civil defense team stationed in the town of Andrew.
Like many towns, the town is guarded by the Civil Defense Team. Compared with the army, their resistance is more resolute and brave. In front of the town, there are large fields of cotton growing, and white cotton bolls are shining on the dead stalks.
“Chiu!”
There was a dull whistling sound as the shells blew up columns of smoke around the edge of the town.
Wang Taisheng, holding a Type 67 rifle, silently lay in the crater. There were two bodies next to the crater, the Argentines who were killed in the explosion. He lay there and observed the front. It was less than a hundred meters from him to the enemy trench. Not only could he see the shaking heads, but he could even see their appearance clearly through the scope.
When he saw a white guy through the scope, he calmly aimed and fired a shot. The gun fell and the guy fell down. When the bullet hit the guy's head, he even saw a cloud of blood mist flying up.
Afterwards, Wang Taisheng stopped shooting. They were not in a hurry to attack. According to the company commander, in a small town like this, they should take their time to clean up the mess and kill as many defenders as possible, rather than ending the battle with a single charge. Taking too many prisoners would be quite troublesome.
"call……"
After taking a breath, Wang Taisheng calmly lay down in the bomb crater to rest. At this time, Li Laifu crawled over along the cotton ridge and rolled into the bomb crater nimbly. He was originally a road builder, and he was a very down-to-earth person without saying a word.
"Any cigarettes?"
"Give,"
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Lai Fu, then took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, and they started smoking.
The two of them smoked for a long time before Li Lai Fu spoke.
"Taesang, do you remember the woman you saved?"
"What?"
Wang Taisheng didn't react for a moment.
"Save? That woman!"
"She is so beautiful. Tell me, what kind of man can find such a beautiful woman?"
Li Lai Fu's words made Wang Taisheng think of the beautiful woman and the spring scene that day.
A woman like that is indeed not something that ordinary people like them can marry. For them, they are already thankful to be able to find a wife.
They don't have many requirements for their wives. They don't ask for a pretty face or anything else. They just want a woman, a woman who can carry on the family line.
"If you don't tell me, I won't be able to remember it."
Wang Taisheng had indeed forgotten about that incident, and even forgot that he was scolded by the squad leader after he gave the gun to the woman. But it was just a scolding, after all, the squad leader knew that in the chaos of war, if a woman didn't have a pistol to defend herself, she might not be able to survive.
Besides, the pistol was just seized from a dead person, not a weapon issued by the army. As the person who seized the weapon, he certainly has the right to dispose of it.
"How could you forget such a beautiful woman?"
Li Lai Fu said while smoking.
"I've made up my mind. After I conquer Putrajaya, I'll learn some words from the white devils, no, from the Spanish. Then, maybe I'll meet a suitable woman and marry her..."
The right woman?
What kind of woman is suitable?
Women with big butts are good at giving birth. Thinking about what the old people said, for some reason, Wang Taisheng's mind once again appeared that beautiful woman. Her butt was really big!
I don't know how she is doing now. Wang Taisheng thought silently in his heart. Of course, he also knew that he would never see that woman again. After all, he didn't even know her name.
It's just an accidental experience. I hope they can spend the rest of their days in peace.
"Anyway, I don't know what you're thinking, but after the war, I'll find a woman like that and have seven or eight children. I'll live a decent life."
As he said these words, Li Lai Fu's eyes were filled with longing for the future.
Even though he doesn't talk much normally, his heart is full of desire and expectation for the future.
Li Laifu, who is living in a foreign country, also hopes to have his own family in this land.
"Why are you saying this?"
Wang Taisheng took a deep puff of his cigarette and then said.
"No matter what, in the end, we have to wait until the war is over. It's useless to think about these things before the war is over. Okay, stop thinking so much."
After taking a puff of cigarette silently, Wang Taisheng's mind once again flashed the image of that woman...
