The artillery roared, the smoke of gunpowder filled, and the tall and majestic city wall could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire, collapsing into hideous gaps.

At noon on 14 May, hundreds of thousands of regular Wehrmacht troops, garrison troops, and young and strong men of the Wehrmacht gathered outside the central defense line of the Argentine troops.

Heavy 155-millimeter guns were pushed forward by the people and soldiers. The battlefield, strewn with the corpses and ruins of our soldiers, was cleared out of a smooth way to ensure the smooth transfer of artillery positions.

"Your Highness, the front-line armies have arrived at the combat positions, and General Luo has asked for instructions to launch an attack."

"Let's get started."

Li Mingyuan followed the main force to a position about five miles from the city wall of Buenos Aires, and while observing the battle situation in front through binoculars, he gave the order to attack. ……

"Your Highness has an order, the front-line artillery units will immediately launch an attack, and the coordinated troops will be on standby......"

The order to start the battle was quickly transmitted to the front of the battlefield, and in the center of the artillery position, the soldiers of the artillery detachments were nervously carrying and loading ammunition, carrying out the last preparations before the battle.

"Correct the Zhuyuan, assemble and fill the first, third, fourth, and seventh artillery groups, and prepare the second, fifth, sixth, and eighth artillery groups!"

"The assault artillery crew is ready, request an attack!"

"Put!"

"Yes!"

"Woohoo!" Pitch-black shells burst out of the cannon with a strong roar, leaving a series of parabolas that disappeared in the sky.

"Puffy!" 155-mm shells crashed into the thick city walls with a low, muffled sound.

Shells continued to fall, and the defensive positions of the city walls of Buenos Aires and the residential areas of the city were attacked one after another.

"General, the presidential palace was attacked by two shells, the presidential guard suffered nearly 100 casualties, and the president's security situation is unknown for the time being!"

At the risk of being hit by a cannonball, a group of Argentine soldiers crossed the city to an open area between the city walls and rushed to the headquarters of the defending troops to report to Gretzweig about the situation in the city.

"Bastard! Order General Napier to immediately dispatch a battalion of troops to the presidential palace, and the president must not have any accidents! ”

"General, the situation in the city is chaotic now, and the roads in the neighborhood around the presidential palace are blocked by residents fleeing the fire of the Wehrmacht, and it may be difficult for reinforcements to reach the presidential palace in a short time."

"Where is General Berdych's gendarmerie unit? There was chaos in the city, why didn't he send troops to stop it? ”

Gretzweig's chest burned with rage, and he shouted at the messenger officer!

"General Berdych's troops were deployed by the President two hours ago to the front line to block the Wehrmacht's attack, and now there are only 3,000 militia units in the city under the command of Colonel Breice."

"Then contact Colonel Breicester and order him to arrive at the presidential palace within an hour, otherwise military justice will be committed!"

Gretzweig's eyes widened, and he shouted to the staff officer in the command bunker, "Execute the order immediately!" ”

"Yes, General."

Five or six lieutenants and staff officers acted in accordance with their orders, and the sound of a telegram "jingling bell" suddenly sounded in the command headquarters.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da." Several telegraph machines sent signals together, and after more than ten minutes, the other side still did not respond.

"General, no telegram reply has been received from Colonel Breicester."

Taking off the telegraph receiver, a white colonel-level staff officer walked briskly to Gretzweig's side and reported.

"Send another telegram and be sure to contact Colonel Breicester."

"Useless general, the enemy artillery fire is fierce, the telegraph line between the command and the Colonel of Breicester is likely to have been damaged by artillery fire, if you want to contact Colonel Breicester, you can only send technical soldiers to repair the telegraph line."

"How long does it take to repair the telegraph line?"

"Optimistic estimate for forty minutes."

"No, it's too long, we don't have that much time to wait!"

Gretzweig shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

Then he quickly made a decision: "Major Dallas, I will draw a company of troops from the command headquarters to you, and you will immediately rush to the presidential palace with this force." ”

"General......

The officer chosen by Gretzweig was about to speak, but was stopped by the other party.

"You don't have to worry about my safety, Dallas, you have to understand that the safety of the president is of paramount importance, and you must make sure that the mission is completed and the president is safe!"

"I understand!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, immediately contact Colonel Breicester with your men, and I will order General Napier to assist you in your mission."

"Yes, General!"

The lieutenant colonel officer who reported the message stood up, picked up the military cap on the table, and after answering, turned and left the command bunker.

"A strong enemy is on the verge of danger, how difficult the state affairs are, the president, you must not have an accident!"

After the two groups of soldiers left, Gretzweig sat down on his chair with a sad face.

"Boom, boom, boom" The roar of a cannonball explosion sounded from far and near, and several command officers who had reacted in advance turned and pounced on Gretzweig.

"General, be careful!"

The "boom" smoke and dust filled the air, the broken stone and broken wood rose into the sky, a salvo shell just covered the command bunker where Gretzweig was located, the old and backward stones and civil engineering fortifications could not withstand the attack of the 155mm heavy gun, and the Gretzweig, who was determined to defend the country, was also buried under the layers of rubble and rubble together with those tenacious Argentine soldiers!

In the chaotic times, the strong prospered, the weak died, and on the frontline battlefield, Li Mingyuan understood that the Argentine war, which lasted for several months and involved more than 300,000 people, was about to come to an end.

The effect of the heavy artillery unit's fire attack became more and more significant, and the fierce artillery fire killed and injured a large number of Argentine troops' vital forces and hit the morale of the enemy's troops defending the city.

The intensity of the artillery attack gradually weakened, and the sparse and muffled roar of shells brought a sense of peace to the Argentine soldiers, and also signaled the arrival of the final moments of the war.

The artillery fire stopped, the smoke quickly dissipated, and the devastated walls of Buenos Aires left huge gaps one after another.

The city fortifications are riddled with holes, and the huge gaps tens of meters wide are no longer as easy to fill and repair as they were a few days ago.

The artillery positions that had been fired in close proximity quickly retreated and moved, and the land units of the Wehrmacht, which had been preparing for a long time, jumped out of the trenches and defensive lines and poured into the gap in front in a straggler line.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Argentine soldiers, who had escaped artillery fire, marched in formation from their bunkers and, under the command of officers of their units, held back the Wehrmacht soldiers who were rushing to the gap.

"The machine gunner stepped forward, aim at the Argentines in front of me, and hit hard!"

"Quick, get the machine gun up!"

Walking on the rugged ruins, groups of machine gunners carried heavy machine guns and pushed forward with difficulty.

"Battalion commander, Argentina is hiding behind a broken wall, and our machine guns cannot form an effective attack!"

Stepping on the rubble of the huge city wall, the leader of the machine gun team reported loudly.

"Fuck, that's fucking obscenity!"

The commander of the Wehrmacht battalion looked at his colleagues who had already rushed into the city at another gap, grabbed his big-brimmed hat, and said loudly, "Grenadier platoon commander"

"Here!"

"The people who brought you brought me the bird's nest in front of me and took the enemy's position, Lao Tzu will give you credit!"

"Yes, battalion commander! Just look at it! ”

The grenadier platoon commander stretched out his hand and took out a row of grenades from his waist, greeted his soldiers, and thirty or forty soldiers with grenades on their bodies crawled forward.

"Brothers, call the cubs on the other side, don't fucking save ammunition for Lao Tzu!"

The grenadiers departed, and a battalion of Wehrmacht soldiers was visible outside the gap

Under the command of the battalion commander, he quickly opened fire and covered the actions of the grenadier platoon.

After about ten minutes, a dense explosion sounded, and the machine guns inside the gap immediately stopped, and the Wehrmacht troops outside seized the opportunity to break through the opponent's defenses and successfully break into the city.
