Chapter 872 South America (4)

These American soldiers who have been stationed in the rear for a long time have not fought against the German army, so they naturally don’t know the power of these napalm bombs.

At this moment, watching the comrades who came forward to help put out the fire also get on fire one by one, and let out heart-wrenching screams. The remaining people finally realized the horror of these bombs. Seeing those blazing firemen rushing towards them, they screamed in fear and scattered everywhere.

If they could choose, they would not be willing to abandon their comrades and run away like this. The tradition of the US military is not to abandon any comrade. But now they have been frightened by everything in front of them, and this deep-rooted creed has been thrown behind their heads.

The German attack aircraft group has returned, and the fire on the ground is still burning, with no signs of weakening. The firemen are struggling, running, and twisting; they seem to be performing something, or like they are holding some kind of evil ritual.

On the other side, in the Panama Sea, the 18 main guns on the two German battleships roared and fired shells at Panama City in the distance (the capital of Panama, a port city by the sea and mountains).

Accompanied by the sharp whistling shells, they drew a huge arc and accurately fell into the center of the city, exploding.

Because the Panamanian government's senior officials deliberately concealed it, many residents in the city did not know that the German army was going to launch an attack, and most people did not leave, which also led to the "fruitful results" of this artillery attack.

Although the buildings in the city can block the flying shells, the high-explosive bombs will blow a gap in these buildings, and the building debris blown away by the buildings will fly to the streets or other buildings, causing secondary damage.

The one or two ton shells have an absolute killing circle. Many residents were not killed by the fragments produced by the shell explosion, but were directly killed by the shell explosion. Smoke rose in the city and fire spread in the city.

But after firing a few rounds, they stopped. After all, it was a waste of the life of the main guns to bombard the city.

"We will never surrender! We want..." In the broadcasting room of the presidential palace, President Arango was giving an impassioned resistance speech, trying to get the people of the country to work together to resist the German invasion.

But before he finished speaking, there was a noise outside.

"What's the noise?!" President Arango turned off the microphone and asked a question. With a loud bang, the door of the broadcasting room was kicked open roughly. A group of soldiers with live ammunition rushed in, holding President Arango and punching and kicking him without saying anything, making him scream.

A middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor walked in, and President Arango, who was beaten with a bruised face, glared at him fiercely. "Robles, what are you going to do, you bastard?!"

"Of course I surrendered." Robles spat with contempt. "Tsk, you are a loyal lackey of the United States. Do you want to push the whole Panama into hell?"

"Yes, I am a lackey of the United States." President Arango sneered. "You just want to be a lackey of Germany."

Roberles shrugged. "Yes, you and I are just lackeys, but I am smarter and know that it is better to be a dog of the winner than a dog of the loser." He waved his hand. "Take him out and keep him under strict supervision!" After saying that, he walked straight to the microphone and turned it on. "I am Vice President Robles. From now on, I will act as president. Now I declare surrender to the German army. Everyone lay down their weapons and do not resist." After saying a few words briefly, he turned off the microphone and left the broadcasting room.

Before coming, Vice President Robles had reached an agreement with the top leaders of the Ministry of Defense. With the surrender order issued, the few Panamanian defense forces laid down their weapons. The German army easily set foot on the land of Panama and advanced towards the US military bases everywhere.

When one of the German troops arrived at the American positions near the Panama Canal, they found that the scene in front of them could only be described as "hell on earth". There were American soldiers who were burned to charcoal everywhere. Everything that could be burned on the position was basically burned clean, and many guns were burned out of shape.

However, they found that many of these "charcoals" were not dead yet. In the eyes of those human-shaped "charcoals", there was still a strong sense of pain, and hoarse shouts were still coming out of their throats.

The German soldiers raised their guns and pulled the triggers at these dying "charcoals", letting them die completely. It was a good relief for these "charcoals" to die so quickly. Otherwise, they would probably have to struggle in such pain for several hours, or even more than ten hours before they could completely die.

There were only a few remaining American soldiers in the entire position, and these people had long lost their will to fight, and they became prisoners without even firing their guns.

The German army continued to advance, and soon saw that the road ahead was blocked by a barbed wire gate and could not move forward. There was a wooden sign with a skull and a warning not to enter on the wire.

"It seems that this is where the plague broke out?" The Americans sent several medical teams here, but they died one after another, and no one dared to come again. They could only follow the advice of other medical experts and put it aside for a while to see if the virus could die out on its own.

The German army did not dare to move forward rashly, and prepared to set up camp here and wait for subsequent orders.

At this time, several A-1 attack aircraft flew over their heads and began to drop bombs far away from them. These bombs exploded in mid-air, sprinkling white powder all over the sky. After a while, there was a pungent smell of chemical agents in the air.

"What is this?!"

"Isn't it said that a plague broke out inside? It should be the disinfectant sprayed, right?"

"Do you need to wear a gas mask?!"

The officer leading the team ordered decisively. "Get back!"

After retreating for more than 10 kilometers, everyone stopped when the pungent smell of chemicals could no longer be smelled in the air.

Later nuclear countries, especially the United States, developed various radioactive contamination removal technologies as early as the 1940s and 1950s, such as surfactant removal technology, complex removal technology, chemical removal technology, etc. Among them, chemical decontamination methods are widely used and have many types. They have always been one of the commonly used methods in decommissioning nuclear facilities and daily radioactive contamination decontamination. By utilizing physical and chemical processes such as adsorption, complexation, and ion exchange between chemicals and contaminants, the contaminants fall off the surface of the medium and are dispersed in the cleaning agent, thereby achieving the purpose of decontamination.

It will take at most half a year for the radioactive contamination here to be cleared, and by then the Panama Canal will be able to resume traffic.

The canal that the Americans worked so hard to build is now cheaper for the Germans.
