Chapter 281: End of the road

"" Resisting those who do not fall, kill kill! "
The sound of gunfire, artillery, and explosions mixed together, and there were fighting sounds of fighting in Buenos Aires.
The units of the National Defense Forces that entered the city were regiments, battalions, and companies, which scattered the Argentine soldiers who were surrounded by resistance.
A group of ten people, a team of one hundred people, the machine guns opened, and small guns and mortars followed. After paying more than 1,300 casualties, the National Defense Forces gradually grasped the initiative of street fighting in the city and continued to disperse and cut the Argentine troops into isolated small troops.
Without the guidance of the central command agency, although there are still 50,000 remnants in Buenos Aires, the situation for the war can only bring some minor troubles to the National Defense Forces, but it cannot change the fate of the Argentine Federation's doomed failure. .
At 3.20 pm, an Argentine army of more than 9,000 people broke through a small number of National Defense Force soldiers, escaped from the west of the city, and fled towards the northeast.
At 4:00 pm, the National Defense Forces encircled the city, removing the 20,000 soldiers who fled out of the city in advance. The remaining 30,000 Argentine federal forces were all besieged in the city of Buenos Aires, including Argentina, which was unfortunately undead. Grand President Mitre.
The bombardment at noon caused Mitre to be affected by the explosion. He was in a coma for about three hours. When he was awake and asked the surrounding military and political personnel about the progress of the battle, Grazweig had been killed by shells and various gaps in the city walls had poured in. Thousands of IDF soldiers.
Willing to save the country, unable to return to heaven!
The Buenos Aires defense line, which was carefully guarded by Mitre, failed to save the fate of the Argentine Federation. Even after the city was broken, Mitre gathered again with the 3,000 militiamen of Colonel Brester. Lieutenant General Peel had 5,000 regular troops, but desperate street fighting in the city still inevitably failed.
There are fewer and fewer troops gathered around, and the personnel dispatched to contact the remnants in the city haven't heard back for a long time. They stood strong and stood looking out, and their eyes were filled with wounded wounded soldiers and the roar of artillery.
"Failed, completely defeated, the federal government was completely buried in my hands!"
A line of tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, and Mitre cried with trembling.
"The Frontline Urgent News!"
In an old castle temporarily serving as a command center, rapid footsteps came from the outside.
"President. The situation is critical! General Napier was shot dead. Colonel Brester temporarily took over the command of the battlefield. Colonel Brester corrected the organization to re-establish a defensive position. The enemy was less than two kilometers away from our command center. The Colonel urges the President to consider the federal situation and to withdraw from the city urgently. "
"Thank you for the kindness of Colonel Brest for me. You go back and tell the colonel that the President of Argentina has not run away. Let him lead the frontline troops to fight well. Don't lose the dignity of the Argentine soldiers in front of the enemy!"
The worst situation has been experienced by Mitre, and the death of an Argentine general in front of him has not stirred his inner waves.
"Please tell Colonel Brester and the frontline soldiers that the EFF ’s unfavorable battle is not the responsibility of the Argentine soldiers, but that the enemy has too much advantage. Before facing the final defeat, I Mitre only The federal soldiers have fulfilled their last duty and will never be the president of the escape!
Go back and tell the soldiers on the front line that the President of Argentina will never abandon his troops and run away! "
The stern expression was firmly replaced, and Mitre stressed twice that he would not abandon his subordinates for retreat. On the one hand, it was because the National Defense Army ’s defense line was tightened and the residual troops were unlikely to break out. On the other hand, it was because of the failure of the war. He had already Loss of confidence to continue leading troops to guerrilla operations.
In the Jedi, he was dead-hearted. At this time, his state of mind was the same as that of the Argentine troops in the city, but he was struggling before death.
After the surrounding Argentine soldiers listened to Mitre's speech, the last hope of everyone's fantasy was shattered. Unwillingness, regret, and resentment, all kinds of emotions haunted the soldiers in the temporary command center.
Everyone seemed to be pulled out of life instantly, numbly squatting on the ground, waiting for the final moment of death.
"Good news! Good news!"
The numb, decadent communications officer looked at the last printed telegram, and his eyes instantly revived.
"The Brazilian Empire Telegram! The British Expeditionary Force left Rio de Janeiro yesterday and is expected to arrive in Buenos Aires tomorrow night!"
The communications officer waved the telegram in his hands excitedly and ran quickly to Mittre and other senior Argentine officials.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, Pedro II, and the Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Sir Gordon, advised the President to conserve the military strength of the Federal Army, and to ensure that the President is safe until the three-country coalition forces converge and strike the Han National Defense Forces!"
"It's late. If the British arrived two days earlier, the situation in the federal government would not be so bad!"
My heart just ignited a ray of flame, and it was instantly extinguished by the grim reality. Mitre's heart was suddenly mixed with emotions, and it was difficult to say.
"President, there are 50,000 troops of the Federal Government in Buenos Aires, and tens of thousands of troops in Urkisas outside the city are only a hundred miles away from Buenos Aires. If the President is determined to highlight the siege of the National Defense Forces, Even if there is no possibility of success and the time is short, the President can no longer hesitate to miss the last chance! "
Seeing the hope of survival in despair, the crowd set their eyes on Mitre, each one of them earnestly persuading.
"Losing the main force of the federal army, Mitre should have accompanied Buenos Aires to coexist and die. However, the current situation has changed. For the sake of consideration, Mitre has had to break the original promise and retain the old and weak to think that the federal government will do its best . Please be considerate of Mitre's pain. "
The old man is ill, and time is running out. This kind of moment made Mitre change his mind. Breaking out of the city to accept the British Expeditionary Force was indeed more painful than letting him die in the city. But for the federal government he worked for his entire life, Mitre Ray put down his concerns and chose to compromise to survive.
As night fell, the mist filled, and the gunfire in the city gradually weakened after entering the night. The Argentine troops around Mittre also had only 6,000 people left. At 11 o'clock at night, the gunfire at the junction between the two sides suddenly burst into force. The only remaining heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery launched attacks on the defensive positions of the National Defence Forces.
"His Royal Highness is such a clever idea that the Argentines really chose to break out at midnight."
On the top floor of the former Argentina City Hall, Mount Rollin looked at a fierce crossfire in the city and complimented Li Mingyuan.
"Surviving dead, not all Argentine officers lived like Mittre for a long time and were not afraid of death. They could have a chance to survive, and they would certainly not let it go."
Li Mingyuan said lightly.
The intelligence of the British Expeditionary Forces' arrival in Buenos Aires was informed by the naval forces ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At the same time, in the afternoon city battle, the captured Argentine gendarmerie commander Major General Bertici also sent information about Argentina The army's intelligence was spit out in 1510, so Li Mingyuan ordered the army to make a targeted response to the possible breakthrough by the Argentine troops in the city.
"His Highness is wise, a large number of Argentine troops guard the city by risk. If our army wants to destroy them, we must pay 2,000 or more casualties. However, if they give up their defensive advantages and impact the defense provided by our army, hey, there are them. Feeling good. "
"Don't relax your vigilance. The troops that can hold on until the end are surrendered by Mitre's subordinates. In the face of the treacherous enemies, we can't take the slightest care."
"My staff understand that they will not let the Argentines escape."
"Well, I'll go back to rest first, and tomorrow morning I hope to hear the good news of you annihilating the remnants of Argentina!"
"Her Highness, but rest assured, there will never be any large-scale Argentine armed presence in Buenos Aires before tomorrow morning ....
