Chapter 866 Daming Brand Beggar's Chicken (First update, please subscribe)
This war between Ming Dynasty and Brazil seemed to be doomed from the beginning. While the battle was going on in the Mato Grosso area in the north of Paraguay, the real battle was in the south, in Uruguay.

After the fall of the city of Florida, the third army commanded by Liang Wu finally approached the city of Montevideo. From the moment the soldiers approached the city, the battle broke out immediately. The [-] Ming army surrounded the city of Montevideo. up.

"beep……"

The shrill and shocking heavy artillery shells continued to cut through the sky, and the roar of steam locomotives shocked the sky. The violent explosion caused waves of earth shaking and mountain shaking, accompanied by black smoke clouds hundreds of meters high. And rise.This is a 280mm rifled siege gun dispatched by the Ming army. In order to conquer the defense lines of the Brazilian army, especially several fortresses outside Montevideo, the third army obtained 38 heavy siege mortars.

Since September 9, these heavy artillery, in conjunction with hundreds of field artillery and mortars, have continuously fired deadly shells outside the city of Montevideo.

On Brazil outside the city of Montevideo, black columns of smoke continued to explode, and the sky was dyed black by gunpowder smoke. With the roar of heavy artillery, the seemingly tight fortress was razed to the ground. The fortress was bombarded and reduced to ruins.

In the violent explosion, many Brazilian soldiers were blown into the sky together with trenches and fortifications, but although the trenches were destroyed in the violent explosion, the Ming army did not launch an attack.

"Sir, according to the aerial reconnaissance of the airship, after three days of shelling, the outer positions of Montevideo have basically been destroyed. It is estimated that the shelling caused more than 1 casualties to the defenders. It is almost time to attack. .”

Facing the staff officer's report, Liang Wu, who was standing in front of the map and staring at the map, just shook his head casually, and then said.

"It's not yet time, continue shelling!"

When the voice fell, he added.

"The shells are too expensive. Coordinate the airship force, use bombs or incendiary bombs. I will plow the Brazilian defense line at least twice."

"Yes!"

After the staff officer left the office, Lin Wei, the chief of staff of the third army, laughed.

"Deren, I'm afraid this way of fighting will cost a lot of money. We have fired 10,000+ shells in the past few days. Even if counted on a per capita basis, the Montevideo defenders have two shells per capita."

"So what?"

Liang Wu said with a smile.

"There are more than 63000 Brazilian troops in Montevideo, and we only have 5. The war requires stability. We will bomb for a few more days. When they have only [-] left, we will fight again, so that the brothers can shed less blood. Some, of course..."

Liang Wu said in a low voice.

"The most important thing is to kill more people. In the Brazilian army, there are nearly [-] Uruguayans recruited locally. If you kill one more person on the battlefield, in the future... there will be one less person here!"

Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case, Liang Wu frowned.

"Evacuate the cage and change the bird. My Ming wants to gain a foothold here, so I have to do this. After all, it is always good for us Chinese to lose one Hispanic. The less the better..."

"Sir, these words are for the two of us to talk about in private, but we can't say them to the outside world. After all, all people in the empire are equal!"

"Haha, those are just the words of politicians. We are soldiers, so we can do it in our own way."

What way is shelling!
Shelling!

It wasn't just the bombardment, just as the bombardment continued, Daming's airship troops were dispatched.

Dozens of airships took off from the airship field on the Uruguay River and headed straight for Montevideo. These airships maintained a flying altitude of 1200 meters as in the past. When the huge airship group approached Montevia, the Brazilian officers and soldiers guarding the line of defense immediately A low roar of the engine was heard.

"Airship... an airship..."

People screamed in horror, and the people who were originally guarding the trench hid in the bunkers on one side of the trench. Naturally, these people were afraid of the airship, because many of them had witnessed how the Brazilian fleet was destroyed. Destroyed, armored battleships can be destroyed, let alone them?
When people hid in the bunker, the bombing sighter on the airship had already aimed at the target on the ground, and then pressed the bomb button, and bombs weighing 100 kilograms in the airship immediately roared down.

"God bless……"

While the people in the bunker were praying in horror, the roar of bombs above their heads approached from far away. After only a few seconds, the bomb exploded directly, but it did not explode violently as imagined, but exploded suddenly. A group of flames with a length of [-] meters, the rising flame spread on the ground like a fire dragon, rushed into the trench, ignited the wooden walls on both sides of the trench, some bombs fell directly in the trench, and sprang out of the trench A fire dragon hundreds of meters long, the flames swallowed everything in an instant.

It's an incendiary bomb!
This kind of incendiary bomb is unique to Daming. Some natural rubber is added to gasoline to turn it into napalm. Its power is astonishing, whether it is arson or lethal to exposed targets.

Although the Brazilian soldiers hid in the bunker, the incendiary bomb seemed unable to cause any damage to the bunker, but the napalm incendiary bomb burned for as long as 10 minutes. After the explosion, the napalm splashed around because of its strong adhesion Will stick to any object and burn.

But all the trenches ignited by incendiary bombs were plunged into a thousand-degree fire. For the soldiers in the bunker, the most terrifying thing was not the high temperature, but the air!When the fire burns, it will exhaust the air in the bunker, suffocating the Brazilian soldiers in the bunker, and at the same time

There was also a large amount of smoke pouring into the bunker, amidst the suffocating smoke from the scorching heat and the scarce air, those Brazilian soldiers were all screaming in horror, but it took only a moment for them to sweat one after another Some fell down, and when some people who couldn't breathe tried to escape, the fire outside immediately engulfed their bodies.

There were screams, cries, and more desperate screams.Although napalm did not destroy the fortifications, the fire claimed many lives.

When the fire was slowly extinguished, the wooden boards on both sides of the trench wall had been burned. The fire burned for more than an hour. When the fire was extinguished, the lucky ones who survived all looked at them in horror. Surroundings—the bunkers were full of corpses. Those soldiers were suffocated to death in the fire. They were either crowded at the entrance of the bunker or in the depths of the bunker. Some people were desperate. Grabbing their own necks, some people still stuck their mouths to the ground until they died, trying to suck some air or cool air from the ground.

There was even a smell of barbecue in the air, and some bunkers turned into ovens in the raging fire, and the people in the bunkers were roasted by the high-temperature air like pieces of meat.

It's just that this smell is like a nightmare for those surviving Brazilians. Although many of them liked to eat barbecue in the past, but now smelling the tangy aroma of barbecue, they lie down like crazy. Vomiting in the trenches...
