Chapter 353 The Destruction of Hope (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
There are always many accidents in war.When the bombs fell from the sky, the Argentine naval officers and soldiers stationed at the naval port did not realize the danger at all.
Although the bombing of the airship seemed earth-shattering, they still discovered a shocking secret in it.

The airship bombing seemed inaccurate, their bombs were always floating in the air.No one knows where the bomb will eventually fall, but what is certain is that it is definitely not that easy to throw the bomb accurately into a yard.

But sometimes, there are always some accidents.While these Argentine naval officers and soldiers were hiding in the fortress, talking and laughing with ease, a bomb hit the arsenal in the fortress impartially.

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the sailors in the fortress lost consciousness.

After the navy's arsenal was hit, hundreds of tons of artillery shells, gunpowder and other materials were detonated by heavy bombs. The violent explosion directly razed everything within a radius of several hundred meters.

A mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high was even formed in the violent explosion.

Wang Xinyue and the others couldn't help being amazed by such an astonishing scene.

It's all luck!

Good luck!
Wang Xinyue exclaimed.

"We sure hit their arsenal!"

Amidst the sound of exclamation, Wang Xinyue saw the huge Mizi flag on the seaside warehouse through the billowing smoke. Although the flag was a bit dazzling, he could still see it clearly.

"It's the flag of the Brits."

Although Wang Xinyue also had a little urge to try in his heart, but this idea just passed by in a flash.

"It's not our goal there."

The reason why he didn't target the warehouse was not because of the flag on it, nor because it wasn't their target.

But because bombs on airships are precious.If you deliberately bomb the warehouse, maybe throwing dozens of bombs may not have any effect. After all, the bombing in the air is not accurate at all. At this time, the most important thing is to complete the set task.

But it's just a British flag, and even with their arrogance, it's no big deal.

"Notify boat No. 7 to bomb the target area."

Following Wang Xinyue's order, the signalman in the airship cabin wrote his order on the blackboard. In the era without radio, the blackboard, the most primitive tool, became the way for airship troops to communicate in the air.

Unlike the high-explosive bombs carried by other airships, the No. 7 boat carried napalm bombs. Its goal was very simple, that is, to bomb the slums near the port and use napalm bombs to ignite the houses in that area—the Buildings are basically wooden or semi-timbered structures, in other words, they are very easy to ignite.

After dozens of napalm bombs were dropped from the air to the target area, a raging fire immediately ignited. The moment the napalm bomb exploded, houses were engulfed in flames, and the flames instantly ignited the wooden houses. , dry wood became the best fuel, but only for a moment, the slums burned. It took less than half an hour to spread, and as the fire spread, the flames finally connected into one piece, and the fire spread across the block.

What's more frightening is that the sea breeze blowing from the La Plata Estuary further fueled the fire. The strong wind swept the burning wood, tables, and wooden beds and ran across the city wantonly. The fire also ignited many nearby houses. A large area of ​​fire was formed in the city, and its temperature was as high as thousands of degrees.

The blazing fire greedily inhaled the surrounding oxygen, forming a fiery storm of flames. The flames were high above the storm, and even hovered hundreds of meters into the air.The strong wind caused by the fire swept countless combustible objects into the air, and then fell to the ground, further expanding the fire.

In the end, the entire port area was ignited, and the goods piled up in the port warehouse became good fuel. People who originally hid in the port area fled to the port, and many even fled directly into the water to avoid the fire. A few jumped into boats and fled to the Rio de la Plata.

The flames outside the warehouse also made the British expatriates who had been hiding in the warehouse feel threatened, and they who were still hiding in the warehouse left the warehouse one after another.

Not long after they left the warehouse, flames ignited the warehouse depicting the Union Jack. In the burning flames, the warehouse and the Union Jack on the roof disappeared into the raging fire.

"My God! What the hell happened..."

Like many people, Angela fled to the boat with Anna and the others in the scorching flames, although they were temporarily safe.

But when they turned around, what they saw was a city engulfed in flames. Half of the city was burning, and the flames circled into the air, throwing tens of millions of sparks into every corner of the city.

The city is burning!
The city is being destroyed!
The scene in front of them made everyone dumbfounded, even the officers and soldiers of the airship unit in the air, they didn't expect that they would create such a big fire, in fact, it was just the wind that helped the fire.It's just that after people left the city, no one went to fight the fire.

The billowing smoke engulfed half of the city, and when the airship in the air slowly left the city, Edward Thornton and others who were on the battleship couldn't help but have a thought in their minds——

They came, with death, with destruction.

They are gone, leaving death and destruction everywhere!

Everything is destroyed!
Could this be the real power of the airship?
At this moment, Edward Thornton was a little nervous.

Because he knows that Britain does not have such weapons!

But this weapon has now fully demonstrated its power.In this case, how will Britain fight against these airships in the future?
In fact, the fire did not burn for long. After all, Putrajaya only has the port area and the nearby slums. Most of the buildings are made of wood, and most of the places are masonry buildings.

But even so, after witnessing this scene like the end of the world, everyone was stunned. In the morning of the next day, although the flames were slowly extinguished in the night, while the black smoke was still in ruins, People fleeing the fire in boats came ashore as the area rose.

The shore was a total mess, with burned houses everywhere, Angela and the girls pushed their way out of the crowd, they passed through the huddled people, and through the choking smoke, they saw doctors and stretcher bearers People are busy carrying the wounded.

Perhaps it was because when everyone was in a hurry, there were not many wounded, which seemed to be a blessing in misfortune.

But when they got to the train station, they stood there suddenly, and they were all terrified by what they saw.

Thousands of wounded, they are like corpses, close to each other, head to toe, lying on the ground in rows and rows, lying there along the sidewalk, a continuous stretch .Some lay still and stiff, while others curled up and moaned.Swarms of flies flew over the wounded, crawled over their faces, and buzzed.There was blood everywhere, the wailing of the wounded, and screams of curses in agony.

Blood and death!

Mixed together here, the scene in front of her made Angela couldn't help but want to vomit.Among the wounded, the medical staff rushed to and fro, sometimes even stepped on the wounded, because there were so many wounded, they were arranged very closely.Those who were stepped on could only moan dully, and looked in despair...

"My God! What the hell is going on here..."

Angela felt like she was about to vomit.She covered her mouth with her hands and took two steps back, not daring to go any further.

Only thirteen-year-old Emily was so frightened that she didn't even dare to open her eyes again. She hid behind her elder sister Anna, and Anna watched this scene tremblingly.

What's going on here?
It's just that some troops who stayed in the city to guard the city suffered "small losses" in the bombing.

But Angela and the others have never seen such a scene.Now thousands of wounded are lying on the ground in the sun, covered in blood and stench, just lying there, letting flies crawl all over their bodies, she has never seen such a tragic scene.

This is a place full of pain, stink, and death. If there is a hell, this is what hell looks like...

If there is a hell, it must be bombed Buenos Aires.

Once upon a time, for the people in the rear, they were far away from the battlefield. Even after the war broke out, they could not feel the cruelty of the war, or they would see the wounded and death, but after they saw When all this happens, the war will be over.

And now?

Under the airship bombing, there is no safe rear, and the seemingly safe rear will also be bombed.

Civilians, cities, everything is at risk of being destroyed.

"This, is this war?"

Angela was a little apprehensive, looking at the hell-like appearance in front of her.

She looked at the wounded lying on the ground desperately struggling and crying. Angela, who originally had a glimmer of hope that her husband would come back alive, completely despaired at this moment.

What kind of lucky person is likely to survive in such a hell.

Some people might survive, but he... Angela closed her eyes in despair. At this moment, she completely gave up all hope in her heart.

Once upon a time, Angela had been stubbornly believing that her husband would return to her side alive, even in the past days, it was this obsession that had been silently supporting her.

But what about now?
After witnessing the destruction of the city, Angela's last hope was shattered. At this moment, she even understood that her lover was dead, on the battlefield.

"God! Why did I have to face all this?"

While Angela was talking to herself in despair, a wounded man cried out to her.

"Madam, please have mercy and give me some saliva. Give me saliva..."

He wasn't the only wounded person calling for help, other businessmen were also praying there, crying for help from others.

But there are too many wounded, and there are very few people who can take care of them. Hearing the cries of the wounded for help, Angela, who was originally sad, saw the bucket not far away, and walked straight over, holding the bucket in her hand. Walking among the wounded.

After Anna and Emily saw the scene in front of them, although the tragic scene in front of them was scary, they still followed Angela to take care of the wounded among the wounded, bringing them tea and water.

At this time, they seem to have forgotten their fear, their fear...
