Chapter 203 South African Campaign 10
Although Fanny was a lot less angry after hearing Barry's words, she still said with some anger: "In the history of wars between the two countries, it is inevitable for both warring sides to kill and destroy things, how can there be a law to regulate this unavoidable act of war." There is no way to judge captured soldiers with their own laws, and it is even more impossible to try those innocent citizens, because they are neither citizens of your country, nor do they have the initiative to commit crimes, how can they adapt to your laws? And how can you use the size of the law to judge? Under international law, they enjoy diplomatic immunity. ”
Barry's face changed suddenly after hearing Fanny's words, and he said in a deep voice: "International law is international law, and this is the territory of the African People's Republic, and the British immigrants we shot were not crimes committed during the war, but crimes committed by killing African people on weekdays." Then, Barry smiled coldly and said: "Yes, it is inevitable that the two countries will fight to kill people and destroy things, and each country will not use its own lenient legal dimensions to judge the war behavior of the other party's prisoners of war, they will just directly dispose of the prisoners of war, and will not talk about any benevolence and righteousness!" ”
Fanny was suddenly dumbfounded by Barry's words, and became distracted, and then thought about the African People's Republic's use of inherent legal provisions, which is a reasonable and well-founded treatment of these British immigrants, which is already very merciful, but he still did not give up to find a reason to refute Barry: "What evidence do you have to prove that those immigrants committed capital crimes?" ”
Barry's face turned pale after hearing Fanny's words, and he turned around angrily and took a thick folder from the assistant behind him and threw it to Fanny, and then said in a fierce voice: "Miss Fanny, see for yourself, this is the heinous crime committed by these British immigrants against my African people on my African continent, they burn, kill, loot, rape and kill all kinds of evil, even killing them a hundred times is not an exaggeration!" There are confessions from them, as well as from their families and servants. ”
"Tracy: British, thirty-two years old, when he entered Africa, killed five civilians, a child, raped a woman, and robbed countless money."
"Elvis: An Englishman, twenty-five years old, when he entered the African continent, he and other Britons burned down a village, killed ninety-six innocent people, raped three women, and robbed countless money."
Fanny was so excited by the ironclad evidence in front of her that she couldn't say a word, because Fanny had more or less learned about some good things done by the British from the history books when she was in college, and she also set fire to the White House, the official residence of the president of her country, when her country was independent.
At this time, Barry spoke again: "Wake up, Miss Fanny, there is no mercy in this world, only the treatment of the victors. That is burning, killing and looting. Has anyone ever fought for our people under the trampling of the iron hooves of Britain and France? The answer is simple, no. ”
After saying this sentence again, Barry said: "It is still your words, as the two countries are at war and killing people and damage, it is inevitable, but our African People's Liberation Army did not kill an innocent civilian, we only killed those who should be killed." We can't stop you from going anywhere to accuse you. It's your right. I still have official business to do, so I won't accompany you,"
After saying this, Barry didn't say anything to Fanny, but strode into his office.
While Barry and Fanny were entangled, the 3rd and 4th Army Corps of the African People's Liberation Army were still advancing according to the original battle plan.
At this time, the retreating British and French troops were carrying a large amount of baggage, although they had cars to travel, but they were also seriously hindered by these baggage, and the French supreme commander Cremonte was captured by the African People's Liberation Army, which further hit the morale of these soldiers. At this time, these soldiers had been surrounded by 400,000 soldiers of the Third Army Corps and the Fourth Army Corps of the African People's Liberation Army Army in the city of Lubwe, Zambia.
When these Anglo-French troops were surrounded here, Durabo, who was the commander of the Third Army, and Camille, the commander of the Fourth Army, got together, and Durabo had been in the army for the longest time, so he became the main commander according to his seniority, and Camille became the deputy commander. But Durabo was not arrogant, but did everything after consulting with Camille before acting.
At this time, the British and French forces were surrounded here, and it was obvious that they had become trapped beasts. If you launch an attack without knowing why, your casualty will definitely increase dramatically. Therefore, the fight of trapped beasts hurts people even more. So Durabo decided not to rush to attack for the first time. Instead, he gathered all the artillery of his own regiment and the fourth corps. At this time, in response to Li Puyu's words, when Lao Tzu's iron eggs are more meat and eggs than yours, Lao Tzu dares to smash you to death with iron eggs.
Soon the 3rd and 4th Corps of the African People's Liberation Army Army gathered 1,200 howitzers and cannons of caliber of more than 120 mm. More than 3,000 artillery pieces of less than 100 millimeters were assembled. This was followed by a seismic artillery strike. According to later military experts' assessments, the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) sent a total of 1,000 tons of steel to Lubwe, totaling more than 100,000 rounds of artillery shells of large and small calibers.
The entire city of Lubwe was blown into ruins in an hour. This was the first artillery strike of the African People's Liberation Army Army and the first plate axe destructive fire of the African People's Liberation Army artillery three-plate axe. Subsequently, the African People's Liberation Army launched a second version of the axe purge suppressive shooting. The last axe is the fire support shot given to the soldiers when they attack.
At this time, more than 67,000 British and French soldiers trapped in Lubwe were unlucky, and shells fell from the sky one after another. Many soldiers who had fought in World War I were blown up by artillery strikes of this scale. However, at this time, they could do nothing but pray that the shells would not hit them.
Fortunately, the shelling did not last long, about three hours intermittently, but even so, only a small number of lucky British and French soldiers survived.
However, at this time, the soldiers of the African People's Liberation Army had already launched an attack, but fortunately, the ruins of Lubwe blocked the movement of the African People's Liberation Army armored forces, so those African People's Liberation Army soldiers at this time could only step into Lubwe alone.
