Chapter 406 Phoenix Legion (3rd update, please subscribe)
What are the great powers?
It's both a tiger and a wolf!
What is a weak person?
It's meat on the board, food for tigers and wolves!
On the evening of February 27, when Posadas was about to be shrouded in darkness, suddenly, the streets were filled with the sound of horse hooves - the Argentine soldiers stationed here broke out of the barracks.
Soldiers rode in groups of three or five on the streets, sometimes breaking into houses to rob them. The city was filled with gunshots and people's cries.
The gringos were raping women, stabbing children in the stomach with bayonets, and burning homes with old people inside.
Once again, the nightmare of the coalition occupation two years ago resurfaced in everyone's mind, and people screamed in terror and fled out of the city or hid in the basement.
When everything was over, the gunfire suddenly stopped, leaving only a few burning houses. It was shocking, and the whole city was shrouded in silence. When people hiding in the fields outside the city met, they looked at each other in confusion, fearing that something unexpected was about to happen.
They had no idea what had happened, but the Argentinians seemed to have fled, but even so many residents hid in the fields and did not dare to return home.
Although two years have passed, the nightmare still keeps reappearing in Isabel's mind.
At that time, she was frightened by the deafening sound of artillery shells and trembled all day long. She covered her ears with her hands, ready to be blown to death at any time. In those days, she could only throw herself beside Catherine, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, burying their heads under the pillow.
They screamed in terror, squatted in the dark corner of the cellar hung with cobwebs, and screamed at the top of their lungs. Then, when they thought everything was over, the Argentines broke in. What happened next?
Everything was like a nightmare. Until now she still remembers Catherine's desperate cries and the men's laughter.
She was just a little girl at the time and was saved by Catherine by stuffing her into a wine barrel.
Now what?
The nightmare came again. She hid in the wheat field with the pistol left by her father in her hand, not daring to move. She saw Catherine lying on the ground, trembling with fear, with her hands covering her head tightly.
"Sister, I will protect you!"
Isabel said to her.
"Isabel, I..."
Catherine looked at her sister nervously. She was indeed very scared.
"Don't be afraid, sister..."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps came from afar. The people who had been hiding in the fields all night did not dare to move at all. People were still hiding in the fields, so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.
The two sisters hiding in the wheat field were lying on the ridge nervously. Suddenly, amid the sound of horse hooves, a shadow like a dark cloud blocked their view. The cavalry riding through the wheat field also discovered them. The soldier, with his back to the light, looked at the two sisters in the grass. He stopped his horse, took a look, and then said.
"Well, don't be afraid, we are not Argentines."
The man even showed them the armband on his shoulder. It was an embroidered red bird with its wings spread!
"Don't be afraid, girl, no one will hurt you!"
Just when Isabel was so nervous that she was suffocating, someone shouted loudly in the wheat field.
"They are the South China Army!"
"South China Army!"
The news spread in the wild like a whirlwind, and those people hiding in the fields stood up one after another and walked towards the roadside.
It’s the South China Army!
"Yes, that's right, it's the phoenix. Their flag is the phoenix!"
The phoenix is the "Phoenix". Although it was unfamiliar to the South China Army, people still knew through newspapers how this army under the "Phoenix" flag defeated the Argentines beautifully. They even sank hundreds of Argentine ships in the La Plata River, and tens of thousands of Argentine soldiers were killed.
According to the legend about the "Phoenix Legion", they even used the "Phoenix" to set the entire Buenos Aires on fire!
Whenever people talk about the "Phoenix Legion", they are always very excited. Although many rumors about the "Phoenix Legion" sound a bit unbelievable, people are willing to believe those rumors, even if they are false.
Hatred!
The hatred for losing their family members will make people feel good about anyone who kills an Argentine. It would be even better if they could kill some Brazilians and Uruguayans too!
Now, the legendary "Phoenix Legion" is here.
They crossed the border and came to Paraguay!
Teams of dusty soldiers passed by on the distant highway, thousands of soldiers, wearing green uniforms and stylish hats, different from the bearded, dirty foreigners with guns slung over their shoulders. These soldiers were neatly dressed, with guns slung over their shoulders, and marched quickly.
"Are you guys...really the Phoenix?"
Isabel looked at the soldiers passing by her curiously. These soldiers looked a bit like Indians, and they all had smiles on their faces. They were completely different from the dirty, bearded, and smelly Argentines. They were all clean!
They had kind smiles on their faces, completely different from the disgusting, lustful eyes of the Argentines.
While people on the roadside were surprised, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment who were marching were also stunned - a woman!
Almost all the people walking out of the fields are women, either women or girls, and there are almost no men to be seen!
"Are you really the Phoenix Legion?"
Isabel once again shouted at the soldiers. To her disappointment, none of them seemed to understand what she was saying.
They seemed to speak only a few words of Spanish.
At this time, a horse-riding officer came from a distance, and Isabel stood directly in the middle of the road and stopped him.
The officer who was suddenly stopped reined in his horse, and because of the excessive force, the horse neighed and raised its front legs and stepped back several steps. Although the officer seemed to be frightened, he still raised his hand and touched his military cap.
"Miss, it's very dangerous for you to do this!"
"Sir, are you really the Phoenix Legion? Are you the Phoenix Legion from Nanhua? Please tell me, sir!"
"Phoenix Legion?"
When Li Tianlei, who was riding a horse, was puzzled, he saw the flags the soldiers were holding. He thought of the European name for "Phoenix" and smiled.
"I think so. We should be the 'Phoenix Legion' you mentioned!"
