The fortifications built by the British and South African armies in the city were quickly blown up.The concrete-reinforced fortress and buildings were reduced to pieces of ruins in an instant.Billowing gunpowder smoke rose everywhere in the city, and after the bombing of the aircraft formation was over, the deployment of defenses in the city was generally clear.The artillery regiments of the armored division were all in place, and the aircraft formation reported on the deployment in the city.The two hundred large-caliber howitzers of the artillery regiment quickly adjusted their coordinates, and after the commander's command flag was waved, one door after another let out an angry roar.Thirty kilograms of cannonballs, like black hailstones, flew into the air in dense numbers, and then quickly smashed down on the fortifications in the city.When the warhead touched the ground, the explosives in the shells quickly ignited and exploded, and one by one they let out a thunderous roar.The bomb spread a distance of 40 meters, and the two-story building was as fragile as tofu scum under its bombardment.Because of the coordinates provided by the aircraft, the bombing area was all densely occupied by British and South African troops.The 200 guns continued to bombard for 20 minutes, firing more than 12,000 shells one after another.Cape Town was now largely in ruins, with fires and smoke covering the sky and the sky shattering, as if it were a scene before the end of the world.The 130,000 British and South African troops were killed or wounded on the spot after the bombardment by planes and howitzers.The Huaxing army only launched a general offensive at this time, and in order to deter these whites in Africa, they adopted the strategy of slaughtering the city.All the living in the city shall be killed.Gu Xinghua was kind enough to them, and according to the predetermined policy, everyone in Cape Town would not let go of any of them.The veterans of the Ministry of Defense who stepped on corpses to fight the country did not have the slightest intention of being soft on these alien races.Gu Xinghua repeatedly advised him for this, and he also made trouble with Qiao Zhiqing.In the end, Qiao Zhiqing made a compromise decision, let him besiege Cape Town, slow down the attack for three days, and give these whites three days to evacuate.The white people of South Africa are of descendants from all European countries, and they all have families and businesses here, and when they suddenly encounter a strong enemy, more than 100,000 people still have a fluke mentality.When the Huaxing army launched an attack, the fortifications in the city were completely blown up, and there was no danger to defend at all.The battle lasted for a week before the curtain ended, and the defenders of the city and more than 100,000 civilians were wiped out.Hua Xingjun did what he said, three days is three days.God had given them three days to live, but they didn't take it to heart.The British and South African armies numbered more than 70,000 and were armed only with breech-loading rifles.Under the suppression of the machine guns and mortars of the Huaxing army, it is completely as vulnerable as a lamb to the slaughter.Many of them surrendered on their knees, but the Huaxing army did not give them a chance.The smell of blood hung over the seaside city, and even the rivers in the city were dyed red with blood.Seven days later, Hua Xingjun issued a notice to Cape Province, where Cape Town is located.All whites were required to withdraw from the province within three days, and after three days the Huaxing Army would launch a purge of the entire Cape Province.With Cape Town as a demonstration, no one doubts the strength of the Huaxing Army now.The entire crescent-shaped region, whether white or black, retreated to the east of the Crescent Mountains.Huaxingjun did not dare to be interested in the places east of the mountain range, and only this coastal plain city surrounded by the Crescent Mountain was the future Chinese settlement area.The white man who was high up finally had the feeling of being driven out of his home and wanton at this time.When the Dutch first landed at the Cape of Good Hope in Cape Town, they opened the gates with foreign guns and cannons.Subsequently, the indigenous black people living in this land were driven and slaughtered by them again and again, and finally turned this place into white land.Qiao Zhiqing is very clear about this history, and he has no sympathy for the white people here before it is launched.Their ancestors had blood on their hands, and they were the first to use force to explain the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest.Hua Xingjun just learned from them and followed them.Whoever kills, man will kill.The war in Cape Town shook the whole of Africa, and within a month it spread throughout the country.The European colonizers reacted differently, and many watched with a sense of schadenfreude.South Africa was originally a colony of the Netherlands, and after the rise of British power at sea, the Dutch power was completely expelled.There are many Dutch immigrants here, who are of white descent.South Africa's ethnic complexity is not unique to the United Kingdom.Therefore, after the defeat of the British army in Cape Town, the British commanders in South Africa could not organize a counterattack force for a while.The British army had 50,000 or 60,000 troops in various African colonies, but they were all scattered in various places, and they could only attack South Africa after the large armies in various places were assembled.On the day the news reached Britain, the ocean-going fleet of the Huaxing Army happened to attack the 500,000 troops that the United States had brought back to China in the Atlantic.The whole of Europe was in a stir at this time, and the countries that had been in a spectator mentality at the beginning remained on guard.They obviously underestimated the strategic purpose of the Huaxing Army, which this time came not only to seize South Africa, but also to use it as a base to attack Europe.The Entente countries in Europe, led by Britain and France, also happened to meet in Versailles, and reached an agreement on the spot to jointly fight against the Huaxing army.The colonial powers in Africa joined one after another, and finally formed a four-nation army led by Britain and France, totaling more than 100,000 people.Cape Town is surrounded by crescent-shaped mountains, and the only way to attack is the ends of the two mountain ranges, to the north and to the south.The Huaxing army was divided into three routes, one was deployed in the mountain pass in the north, the other was deployed in the mountain pass in the south, and the other was responsible for the defense of various intersections in the mountain range, as well as the ports along the coastline, to clear out small groups of foreign coalition forces.The defense at sea was mainly handed over to the ocean-going fleet of the Huaxing Army, which had returned victoriously and was stationed in the port of Cape Town.Now that the main navies of Britain and France have been wiped out, they will not be able to prevent a large-scale landing operation in a short time.The ocean-going fleet of the Huaxing Army was stationed here, and the defense line at sea was completely impregnable.When the war came, there was a smell of gunsmoke in the air.This time the European coalition army was not the South African army in Cape Town, more than 100,000 people were all European colonial troops, equipped with very advanced weapons, and a certain number of artillery and machine guns.The Huaxing army dug trenches at the mountain pass for defense, which was hundreds of kilometers long.They didn't know how many troops and horses the European coalition would send at this time, but they were just prepared for everything here.The European coalition forces were constantly gathering towards South Africa, almost overwhelmingly.After the cessation of the war in Europe, it was already the largest troop movement.They assembled in South Africa for two or three months, and finally gathered 160,000 troops.judged well with the Huaxing army, and the coalition army also marched in two ways.All the way to the northern pass, all the way to the southern pass.It is impossible for a large army to attack and completely fight over the mountains.Not only can they not bring heavy weapons, but they can't guarantee food and grass, and they will miss the opportunity to fight, so they only have these two entrances and exits to choose from
