On the evening of the 15th, the British expeditionary fleet arrived at the port of the mouth of the Río de la Plata, and when Gordon found that the blue federal flag at the head of Buenos Aires had disappeared and had been replaced with a red dragon flag, he ordered the fleet to bombard Buenos Aires!

The deafening shelling continued throughout the evening, and the majestic city of Buenos Aires had just seen off its old owner and welcomed a new perpetrator.

The thick and tall city wall was bombarded by shells, leaving a narrow gap in the old wounds, and the new wounds were coming, and the city of Buenos Aires, which had been attacked twice in succession, was like a devastated girl, full of ruins and broken walls, completely devoid of the heyday of Paris in South America.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, in the British expeditionary fleet, Gordon drove a group of British soldiers who had not had time to adjust to the situation in a landing craft to attack the beach near the city of Buenos Aires.

With the support of the fleet's heavy artillery, the landing British forces easily occupied the undefended coastal area and advanced all the way to the perimeter of the walls of Buenos Aires.

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose above sea level, impatient British soldiers followed the Wehrmacht's siege route a few days earlier and attacked the city of Buenos Aires again.

Areas within the city, such as gaps in the city walls, residential streets, and government buildings, became the focus of contention between the two armies.

As soon as the rampaging and imposing British soldiers entered the city, they were met with a strong counterattack by the Wehrmacht.

Mortars, machine guns, grenades, and all kinds of street fighting weapons came from all directions, making the British soldiers unguarded.

By noon, the British troops, who had entered the city with a total of 4,000 men, had suffered more than 800 casualties, while the remaining British troops were cowering in a corner of the wall under the endless blows of the Wehrmacht, not daring to take a single step into the city.

The situation in the city was quickly reported to Gordon, who was seated aboard a Monarch-class battleship, and in the face of stubborn resistance from the Wehrmacht and the strong advice of the British officers entering the city, Gordon weighed the pros and cons and made the decision to order the troops to withdraw from the city of Buenos Aires.

The first aggressive offensive ended in a hurry, and Gordon, who had previously prided himself on being a master of China, could not help but have doubts about the enemy in front of him.

Twenty years ago, during the battle with the Taipings, Gordon was able to quickly observe the weaknesses and shortcomings of the other side, and twenty years later, the British army was equipped with breech-rifled rifles with faster rate of fire and higher accuracy, equipped with more lethal naval guns and improved Gatling guns, but as soon as they met, more than 800 British regular troops were ineffective and could no longer participate in the later battles.

Gordon was curious how the other party did it.

Twenty years ago, in the war to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the foreign guns formed by the stragglers repeatedly defeated the Taiping army, which had the advantage of strength, and in the many years of combat experience, the total number of casualties of the foreign guns was only nearly 1,000, and in the first battle in the morning, the casualties were 800 regular troops, and the loss was more serious than that of the foreign guns in several years.

The pre-pistol shooting tactics were gradually becoming obsolete, and for the first time, the lessons of the Zulu War taught the British that the savage and backward African natives were also capable of annihilating the British army fighting in large armies.

British soldiers in the city of Buenos Aires were hastily evacuated.

The British fleet anchored at the mouth of the Río de la Plata was anchored in the coastal harbor and engaged the Wehrmacht in and around the city.

At 2:30 p.m., a fleet of more than 20 gunboats and small and medium-sized frigates broke away from the British expeditionary fleet and turned its bow to march in the direction of the Paraná River.

The Río de la Plata, a tributary of the Paraná River, has a turbulent current, with an average width of 50 kilometers and a maximum width of 290 kilometers, but when the fleet goes deeper inland and enters the main channel of the Paraná River, the relatively narrower river channel and water depth have a very large limiting effect on the Monarch-class battleships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

The main warships of the British Navy, which were like dragons in the shallows, could not enter the inland forces of the Paraná River, but the ironclad ships of the standard of frigates were far more stressful to the Wehrmacht than the Brazilian Navy ten years ago.

More than three hours later, in Tigre, a small town north of Buenos Aires and south of the Paraná River estuary, more than 10,000 IDF soldiers were busy and busy.

The town of Tigre is about 10 kilometers from the port along the river, and the quiet atmosphere is disturbed by the sound of neighing horses and cows in the dense forests on the outskirts of the town.

The temperate and humid natural environment of the plain de la Plata provides good conditions for the development of animal husbandry.

Since the founding of South America, after ten years of development, the local animal husbandry of Han has become a major source of government revenue.

According to the statistics of officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, more than 15 million head of livestock are raised on the territory of more than 1.1 million square kilometers in South America, and more than 200,000 families are engaged in livestock breeding, with an average of 70 or 80 heads of livestock raised by farmers and herdsmen per household.

The animal husbandry of the Han Kingdom is dominated by cattle and sheep, and the number of cattle and sheep among the more than 1,500 local livestock exceeds 10 million.

There are 3 million pack horses and alpacas, and about 2 million pigs, deer and other livestock.

Rooted in South America for more than ten years, the living habits of early Chinese immigrants have slowly changed in the process of adapting day by day.

The Chinese in the north and south, who eat rice and white noodles as their staple foods, have gradually accepted the eating habits of pairing beef, mutton and rice noodles.

The provinces of Entralio Ríos and Corintes were the main rice producing areas in Argentina, and when the two provinces came under the control of the Wehrmacht, the supply of rice in Han was more abundant, and the annual surplus rice output was transported by ocean-going fleets to Germany, France and other European countries.

The export of rice alone provides considerable income for the Han government every year, effectively alleviating the financial pressure brought about by the expansion of the national defense force.

The grain and livestock industries are not science and technology intensive, but before organic fertilizers were used in agricultural production, the grain and livestock produced in the La Plata Plain in South America had a high-value advantage for Europe and other regions.

Herds of pack horses were pulled out of the woods by the soldiers, and two large baskets were carried symmetrically on either side of the horses, which were used to carry the earth excavated from the construction of tunnels and trenches.

Generally speaking, a mixed brigade with a full strength of 9,000 men is equipped with 2,000 pack horses and 500 large alpacas, and a garrison brigade is equipped with 1,000 pack horses and 300 alpacas.

In the event of heavy rains and cloudy weather, each brigade unit will also be equipped with a certain number of buffalo to replace pack horses on dirt roads.

At about 5 p.m., at the Wehrmacht garrison in Tigre Town, a bunch of straight smoke lit up near the rugged tunnels and trenches.

An 80-centimeter-long marching pot is filled with large pieces of beef and mutton, sprinkled with green vegetables, oil and salt seasonings and other ingredients at will, and the nearby firewood is placed under the pot to exude the heat of roasting.

"Goo Dong Goo Dong"

Clusters of water bubbled up in the boiling iron pot, and the rich smell of meat accumulated above the trenches, tempting the appetite of the soldiers.

When it was time to serve, the soldiers of the garrison after a hard day's work laid down their tools, washed their mud-stained hands with clean water from a nearby stream, and then lined up to wait for dinner in the field.

Broth, potatoes, rice, a simple but hearty dinner was eaten in the mouths of the soldiers, slowly relieving their fatigue.

At five o'clock, the soldiers had just had dinner, and an uninvited fleet stirred up the entire Wehrmacht positions.

"Enemy ships are coming! All troops on alert! ”

A sharp warning sound resounded through the small town of Tigre, and after a brief period of confusion, tens of thousands of troops quickly divided into two forces, the front and rear, and rushed to the preset position to meet the enemy!
