Chapter 332 Frontline (Third update, please subscribe)
The military order was issued suddenly!

As soon as the order was received, Si Dongjie's Sixth Infantry Regiment crossed the ditch, and the engineers had already built a simple wooden bridge on the ditch. Over the trench.

The process of crossing the trench was very smooth, and the troops encountered no resistance at all.

"Everyone, speed up and strive to arrive at Trent Loken tomorrow. The ghost is waiting for us there!"

Trent Loken is their goal. According to the plan, they will arrive at their destination within two days and join forces with other troops.

It is not just the sixth regiment that has crossed the trench. There are a total of 20 infantry regiments. Usually, it refers to the small town that has been fortified.

Along the way, Si Dongjie and his comrades saw many vacant settlements. Those Argentines either fled their homes or accepted conscripts to join the army.

"Platoon leader, I heard that there has been a general mobilization in the province of Burundi."

"so what?"

Si Dongjie snorted.

He has just been promoted to platoon leader, and he wears an officer's unique leather satchel on his waist. Although the platoon leader is not an officer, becoming a platoon leader means that he has the opportunity to become a deputy company commander. By then, he will be an officer!

Ancestor bless ah!

"It's nothing more than a few more shots."

While speaking, he patted the Type 70 rifle on his shoulder.

"It's just a bunch of ghosts, what's the big deal."

It's just a ghost!

"That's right, ghosts are human too, they will die as if they were shot, and ghosts are afraid of death!"

"The more ghosts mobilize, the more enemies we annihilate, the more military exploits we will make! At that time, we will also get a bronze medal to hang on our chests."

"Then what kind of bronze medal is that? It's a military medal!"

"Yes, it's the military medal, let's get one too!"

There was a burst of laughter for a while, and amidst the laughter, they continued to move forward.

The next morning, the vanguard arrived at Trent Loken, and what appeared before their sight was a fortress surrounded by barbed wire and ditches.

Barbed wire, ditches, artillery ramparts, pillboxes.

Rifles, Gatling guns, and mortars...

But whatever the South China Army has, the Argentine Army also has. During the Civil War, South China may have made huge profits through arms smuggling, but it also caused an outflow of technology, from center fired copper cartridge cases to Type 62 Spencer Rifles, from grenades to mortars, from Gatling guns to valve rifles.

These weapons were continuously transported to the Confederate States of America, that is, the Confederate States of America. After the Northern Federation seized these weapons, they directly imitated them.After the war ended, both the north and the south chose to sell war surplus materials to foreign countries. Millions of light and heavy weapons used by infantry were sold to various countries, and Argentina and Brazil were fighting Uruguay because of their hair. They imported a large amount of arms.This directly led to the fact that the Argentine army that Nanhua faced was actually an army equipped with a large number of Nanhua weapons.

Even as soon as the vanguard arrived at the front line and had not started to dig fortifications, they were bombarded. Although the accuracy of the bombardment was mediocre, Li Changchuan was taken aback by his disarming power. With a steady personality, he immediately ordered the troops to attack in Tren Fortifications were being built and trenches dug two kilometers west of Trauken.By the afternoon of the same day, the three armies had gathered in Trent Loken and surrounded the city on three sides.

"boom!"

Once again, the explosion of hundreds of pounds of shells shook the ground, and also raised huge columns of smoke near the trenches of the South China Army.

"It's the Dahlgren Cannon!"

Standing inside the observation post, Li Changchuan said.

"Mr. Sun, today's Argentine army is not as good as in the past. They have bought more than [-] Dahlgren guns from the United States in the past few years. At least one third of them are heavy guns between nine and ten inches. On the iron land battle gun mount, there are at least sixty such heavy guns in front of us, and their artillery fire is quite fierce..."

Li Changchuan’s expression was a bit complicated when he mentioned the land battle gun mount. The gun mount was obviously an invention of Nanhua—it was specially sold to the Taiping Army. That kind of heavy field gun mount was only designed.

I never thought, but in just a few years, that kind of gun mount spread to other countries. During the Paraguay War, the Argentine and Brazilian armies used nine-inch or ten-inch field heavy artillery to bombard the Paraguayan army's defenses many times. .

Well now, retribution is on my side-the Argentines greeted the arrival of the South China Army with a bunch of cannons.

Things in the world are like this, and this may be called tit for tat.

"In terms of artillery, no one can compare with us!"

Sun Hu laughed.

"Dahlgren's cannons, we've long since given up on them. If it wasn't for selling Long Mao to earn some money, the arsenal probably wouldn't be bothered to produce that kind of muzzle-mounted cannons. They have cannons, and so do we, ten-inch gram Captive cannons... are much more powerful than theirs!"

The ten-inch Krupp cannon has been the flagship product of the Nanhua Arsenal until now!
Ten-inch Krupp cannons can be seen from warships to fortresses, and even armored trains are equipped with this powerful cannon.This giant cannon not only has a long range, but also is extremely powerful, with shells weighing more than 300 kilograms!Even the strongest fortress is vulnerable to it, but its use is also very limited - the railway!
The ten-inch Krupp cannon is too heavy, and it is almost impossible to use it in field battles. The only way is to install it on an armored train and use it as a train gun, and Nanhua did exactly that.

But the thing is, railroads... not everywhere!

"The railway hasn't been repaired yet!"

When mentioning the ten-inch Krupp cannon, Li Changchuan naturally thought of the few armored trains that Nanhua had.Armored trains were armed with ten-inch Krupp guns.But the railway has not been repaired to the front line, how can the cannon reach the front line?

"It doesn't have to be a railway!"

Sun Hu waved his hand and said.

"The 10-inch Krupp cannon has too many restrictions, and it can't be played without the railway. But don't forget, when we were in Shanxi, we used the Type 64 mortar. That thing is so powerful!"

Sun Hu sneered as he stared at the Argentine's line of defense through the binoculars.

"The purpose of this battle is to wipe out the [-] Afghan troops here! The reason why we dragged on until now is to let them mobilize the army as much as possible, and then wipe them out as much as possible! Alright white ghost!"
