"Those who resist and do not surrender, kill and kill!"

The sound of gunfire, artillery and explosions mingled, and the city of Buenos Aires was filled with the sounds of fighting and fighting.

The Wehrmacht troops who entered the city were divided into regiments, battalions, and companies to encircle and suppress the recalcitrant Argentine soldiers.

In a group of 10 people and a team of 100 people, machine guns opened the way, and small mountain artillery and mortars followed. After paying more than 1,300 casualties, the Wehrmacht gradually seized the initiative in the street fighting in the city, and continued to disperse the Argentine troops into isolated small units.

Without the guidance of the central command structure, although there were still 50,000 remnants of troops in Buenos Aires, the situation of fighting separately could only bring some minor problems to the Wehrmacht, but it could not change the fate of the Argentine Federal Army.

At 3:20 p.m., an Argentine unit of more than 9,000 men broke through the resistance of a small number of Wehrmacht soldiers, escaped from the west of the city, and fled in the direction of the northeast.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Wehrmacht formed a siege of the city, excluding the 20,000 soldiers who fled the city in advance, and the remaining more than 30,000 Argentine federal troops were all besieged in the city of Buenos Aires, including Argentine President Mitre, who was lucky not to die.

The midday artillery attack caused Mitre to be affected by the explosion and he was unconscious for about three hours, and by the time he came to his senses and asked the surrounding military and political dignitaries about the progress of the battle, Grezweig had already been killed by shells, and thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers poured into the gaps in the city walls.

has the heart to save the country, but has no power to return to the sky!

Even after the city was broken, Mitre regathered 3,000 militiamen under Colonel Brester and 5,000 regular troops under Lieutenant General Napier, but the desperate street fighting in the city still inevitably failed.

There were fewer and fewer troops gathered around him, and the personnel sent out to contact the remnants of the army in the city did not send back news for a long time, and they stood up and looked outside, and their eyes were full of wounded soldiers and the battlefield with artillery roaring.

"Defeated, completely defeated, the federal government is completely buried in my hands!"

A line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and Mitre's body trembled and cried bitterly.

"Frontline Emergency!"

In an ancient castle that temporarily served as a command center, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the outside in.

"Great President. The situation is critical! General Napier was shot and killed, Colonel Breicester temporarily took over the command of the battlefield, Colonel Breicester was organizing troops to rebuild defensive positions, the enemy was less than two kilometers away from our command center, the colonel implored the President to urgently withdraw from the city for the sake of the overall situation of the Federation. ”

"Thank you for my kindness to Colonel Breicester, you go back and tell the colonel that there is no president in Argentina who has escaped, let him lead the front-line troops to fight a good war, and don't lose the dignity of Argentine soldiers in front of the enemy!"

Mitre had already experienced the worst, and the death of an Argentine general did not stir up a stir in his heart.

"Please convey a word to Colonel Breicester and the front-line soldiers, the unfavorable war of the federal army is not the responsibility of the Argentine soldiers, but the enemy army has too great an advantage, and before facing the final defeat, I, Mitre, can only fulfill the last duty of a soldier with the federal soldiers, and will definitely not be the president who escapes!

Go back and tell the soldiers on the front line that the Argentine president will never abandon his troops and run away! ”

The haggard look was replaced by firmness, and Mitre twice stressed that he would not abandon his men and retreat, on the one hand, because the Wehrmacht defense line was tightened, and the possibility of the remnants of the army breaking through was low, and on the other hand, because of the defeat in the war, he himself had lost the confidence to continue to lead his troops to persist in guerrilla warfare.

Being in a Jedi and determined to die, his state of mind at this time was the same as the battle of the Argentine troops in the city, but it was just a struggle before death.

After listening to Mitre's speech, the last glimmer of hope that everyone imagined was shattered, and unwillingness, regret, resentment, and all kinds of emotions lingered in the hearts of the soldiers in the temporary command center.

Everyone seemed to be instantly pulled out of their lives, and they sat numbly on the ground, waiting for the final moment of death.

"Good news! Good news! ”

The numb and decadent communications officer looked at the last printed telegram, and his eyes instantly regained life.

"Imperial Brazilian telegram! The British Expeditionary Force left Rio de Janeiro yesterday and is expected to arrive in Buenos Aires tomorrow night! ”

The communications officer excitedly waved the telegram in his hand and hurried to Mitre and other high-ranking Argentine officials.

"His Majesty Pedro II, Emperor of the Brazilian Empire, and Sir Gordon, Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, suggest that the President should preserve the military strength of the Federal Army, and must ensure the safety of the President while the Triple Alliance forces meet and fight the Han National Defense Force!"

"It's late, if the British had arrived two days earlier, the situation in the federal government would not have deteriorated to such a point!"

There was only a glimmer of fire burning in his heart, and in an instant it was extinguished by the grim reality, and Mitre's heart was suddenly full of mixed feelings, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

"President, there are 50,000 troops of the federal government army in Buenos City, and tens of thousands of troops from the Urquiza Departments outside the city are only 100 miles away from Buenos Aires.

Seeing the hope of survival in despair, everyone turned all their eyes on Mitre, and said earnestly one by one.

"Without the main force of the federal army, Mitre should have accompanied the city of Buenos Aires to live and die, but now that the situation has changed, for the sake of the overall situation, Mitre has to break his original promise and keep his old and sick body to do his best for the federal government. Ladies and gentlemen, please also understand Mitre's suffering. ”

Sick and ill, time is short, this kind of moment makes Mitre change his mind, breaking out of the city to meet the British expeditionary force is indeed a more painful thing than letting him die in the city, but for the sake of the federal government he has worked for all his life, Mitre put aside his worries and chose to compromise in order to survive.

At nightfall, the mist was filled, and the gunfire in the city gradually weakened after nightfall, and the Argentine troops around Mitre were only more than 6,000 people left, and at 11 o'clock in the evening, the two positions suddenly burst into gunfire, and the Argentine troops concentrated the only remaining machine guns, artillery and other heavy weapons to attack the defensive positions of the Wehrmacht.

"Your Highness is really clever, the Argentines really chose to break through at midnight."

On the top floor of the original Argentine City Hall, Luo Linshan looked at a fierce firefight in the city and complimented Li Mingyuan.

"Survive to the death, not all Argentine officers are not afraid of death when they are old like Mitre, and they will definitely not let it go if they have a chance to live."

Li Mingyuan said lightly.

At the same time, in the afternoon street fighting in the city, the captured commander of the Argentine military police, Major General Berdych, also spit out 1510 information about the Argentine troops.

"Your Highness is wise, a large number of Argentine troops are defending the city with danger, if our army wants to destroy them, it will have to pay two or three thousand more casualties, but if they give up their defensive advantage and attack the defense line provided by our army, hehe, then they will be comfortable."

"Don't let your guard down, the troops who can hold out until the end and not surrender are all Mitre's direct subordinates, and we can't afford to be careless in the face of a treacherous and cunning enemy."

"I know that I will not let the Argentines escape."

"Well, I'll go back and rest first, and tomorrow morning I hope to hear the good news that you have completely annihilated the remnants of the Argentine army!"

"Your Highness, please rest assured that there will definitely not be any large-scale Argentine armed forces in Buenos Aires before tomorrow morning." ……
