Li Junhao got the time when the British were ready to negotiate with him at four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Junhao called De Liola in Ssalam Province in line with the principle of long nights and many dreams, and at the same time told Jeriola the information he had gotten, and finally the two made the same conclusion on the phone, that is, no matter what conspiracy of the British, we will not pay attention to it, and take advantage of the fact that the British army in Africa is in a state of confusion to seize the time to go north and strive to liberate more places, so that in the future our bottom line and confidence at the negotiating table will be much greater.

When it was dark, all the main forces of the African People's Army were quickly assembled, and after dawn, the African People's Army completed the assembly of the main forces, and the air force of the African People's Army at this time began to wreak havoc over the various military points under its control, spilling bullets, bombs, and howitzers and rocket artillery in formation, slowly raising the muzzles of all the main guns. A breeze blew against the barrel of the artillery. One by one, the tanks also started their engines and made a "boom" sound.

After a short time, puffs of black smoke rose from above a gray-white castle looming in a lush forest, and then more black smoke rose to completely cover the castle, and from time to time there were fires scattered in the smoke and dust. Loud explosions like spring thunder came from the city, and stones and sawdust flew everywhere in the smoke and fire, and you couldn't see it clearly through the binoculars, but I believe that if you stay in the place of the shelling, the situation will be terrifying - but only if you are not dead.

A series of shells exploded one after another, and the smoke and fire shrouded the small city, and then the shelling stopped, the smoke slowly dispersed, and the outline of the city appeared again. It turned into piles of black charcoal, and wisps of green smoke emitted from them.

"Commander, our artillery units have finished shelling, and our tanks have all assembled to complete the request for sortie." The commander of the 1st Tank Division said in full gear:

Lieutenant General Jeriola, who was engrossed in observing the artillery attack through the telescope in the forward position headquarters, pointed the telescope at the city, and in the telescope, a part of the British figures were walking from various bunkers and running towards the city wall, Geriola sneered a few times, and said coldly without any emotion: "Order, all artillery fire in each position is aimed at the city head position to start a second shelling!" ”

Around the city, artillery positions were constructed by artillery from several units of the African People's Army, most of which consisted of 105 mm howitzers, as well as a number of newly commissioned 120 mm howitzers, as well as a small number of 150 mm plus howitzers and 120 mm multiple rocket launchers. Now the guns were concentrated in all calibres, and once again they were raining down a landslide-splitting shell into the small city.

Prior to this, the African People's Army and the British army continued to fight, and the upper echelons of the military planned again and again to achieve victory in military operations, and the British army was defeated again and again, and the strength of the ******** was increasingly insufficient, and the African People's Army even dispatched the air force when liberating the province of Salaam, which was a great blow to the morale of the British. , at this time, the top brass of the African People's Army learned that the British were ready to negotiate. From the beginning of the planning of this Northern Expedition, this Northern Expedition took less than four hours from the time of planning, and then gathered 80% of the troops, so this capital is very sufficient, so the activities are all large.

Originally, a few days ago, Jeriola was going to carry out the Northern Expedition, but Li Junhao did not dare to agree to the Northern Expedition because of the news of the 300,000 troops of the British. However, due to the aggressive posture of the Germans in Europe, the British government shifted the focus of Africa to Europe, so the African People's Army dared to let go of its hands and feet, and after working for a long time, it finally started the Northern Expedition.

"Commander! The President has just sent a telegram to inform him that in order to avoid the casualties of innocent civilians and the bad impact on the international community, he demands that we must avoid residential areas and areas where expatriates from other countries in the world are bombarded! The political commissar on the side reminded:

Geriola slapped the table hard, and said reluctantly in an unhappy voice: "Tell the artillery positions to avoid the residential areas of the city - unless there is conclusive evidence that the British are using these residential areas to resist, no fire strikes are allowed!" ”

Jeriola can't remember clearly, this is the first time that the political commissar has emphasized that residential areas must not be attacked, and he has said so many times, and none of them have anything new, and they are almost catching up with the mouths of the wives. What is war? War is madness, war is destruction, war is the strangulation of everything that is beautiful or not so beautiful, in the face of a contest that is either you die or I die, who cares about the life and death of those civilians? Victory is the most important thing, as long as you achieve a great, unprecedented victory, who cares how many villages and cities you have destroyed, how many buildings have been burned, and how many innocent civilians have been killed? No, no one cares, and people only think of it when you lose a battle. History will never blame the winners, history will only allow the winners to speak, and the losers will always be blamed, as is the case with the so-called success and defeat. As everyone knows, later generations will only criticize Japan, and forget the Han people who died without a haircut and without a haircut and without a head left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because of the two, one loser and one winner.

According to Jeriola's thoughts, simply use all the artillery fire to blow up the city into a barren land, and the infantry will go up to receive it, in the war, what is the big deal to blow up a few so-called residential areas? But a political commissar of a major general was afraid of tigers and wolves, and accused the African army of being uncivilized for the sake of his feared friends, and put a tight spell on the army, you know, how much impact this will have on the battle! There are a few black residents and a few Chinese in the city. Most were British colonists and their lackey families. These people are inherently scum. Keep it for what to do.

The phrase "unless there is conclusive evidence that the British used residential areas to resist" sounds good, but when it comes to implementation, there are many ways of understanding because of the different ways of understanding of the soldiers. First of all, what is the so-called hard evidence? Was it seen with your own eyes, or was it conclusive evidence that the enemy had shot at these residential areas? Is the information obtained at this time conclusive evidence? As for the use of residential areas to resist, does the so-called resistance have to be after hiding in the houses and firing fire? Does the use of these dwellings as arsenals or barracks count as the use of residential areas for resistance?

There are so many problems that Geriola did not explain, he was making his own understanding for his subordinates, and at the same time he made a very unified decision: we are soldiers, not messengers of peace, and our brothers receive military salaries, not resident management fees issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau, and in terms of protecting the people, as long as we have this heart. However, if the intelligence shows that there is an enemy near the ruins, then regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, first open fire to bomb him and the landslide will crack.
