Chapter 172: Bombing Merida

Merida, with its full name "Merida, the most noble, ancient and loyal city", is the capital of the Extremadura Autonomous Region in Spain. It is one of the most beautiful Romanesque cities in Spain. This city is the first The Romans built on their strategic points.

Merida is still on the main road of transportation. It is the east gate of Badajoz and an important hub for communication with Madrid.

And now, there is only a 1,000-man Republican army guarding Merida.

Originally, there was an international column guarding the city. When Badajoz was in a hurry, the international column went to help Badajoz. Only the local defenders remained here.

The Spanish fighters concentrated in the north and south outside the city. They built trenches. Although the battle has not started yet, it is conceivable that once Badajoz falls, the rebels will definitely think of Merida. of!

Although it is about to enter winter, the atmosphere of preparation for the war is still very warm. Some Spanish citizens were also mobilized to dig trenches together. They took off their shirts and only wore vests and worked with shovel.

"Here, we have to reinforce it!" Company Captain Cervantes greeted loudly, "It must be reinforced with logs to resist the bombing! Now, even a grenade can't be guarded!"

The fierce battle on Badajoz made Cervantes very anxious. He knew that there was not much time left for him.

Moreover, if Badajoz can't hold it anymore, the thousands of people on his side will not be able to hold the place it is now! The end is also obvious, maybe they will die here!

This is the cruel **** war!

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the distance. He raised his head and took a look. Cervantes greeted loudly: "Quick, covert, the bomber of the Condor Legion!"

Some time ago, the bombers of the Condor Corps destroyed the nearby air base, and dozens of fighters were destroyed. In subsequent retaliation operations, another group of bombers and fighters in Madrid were killed.

The loss this time is really a painful one. Before the arrival of the next batch of supported fighters, the Republican Army is seriously lacking fighters. Therefore, the current air supremacy is almost handed over to the Condor Legion.

Looking at the planes coming from the south, Cervantes knew that the situation was not good. He greeted those under him and immediately avoided the air defense!

Avoid those planes!

At this time, it's getting closer. The biplanes are all the common He51 before. How come those monoplanes have not been seen?

Here, there is a panic.

Many soldiers only took up their weapons after the outbreak of the civil war, and the citizens came in voluntary labor, and they were not mentally prepared at all.

"Quick, run!" Several citizens dropped their shovel, trying to run in a panic.

"Lie down, fall down!" a Republican soldier yelled. He ran a few steps quickly, trying to press the citizens to the ground. A terrible howling sounded behind him.

The sound of those single-wing bombers when they dived made people extremely scared!

Hearing a terrible voice behind him, even some of the soldiers of the Republican Army lost their minds and stood up, trying to retreat.

too frightening!

"Boom!" The Stuka bomber dropped the bomb and dropped it accurately on the air defense fortification just erected in the trench. In an instant, the entire air defense fortification was blown up, and a large pit with a diameter of one meter was exploded on the ground. !

The fragments of the bomb were flying, and the citizens who were still running just now were lifted by the blast of air, and then they felt pain in their backs.

The blood flowed out. They screamed and rolled on the ground, and they were lucky compared to those who could no longer speak.

"Da da da da." Not far away, on an anti-aircraft machine gun position, an angry Republican soldier raised the machine gun and opened fire violently into the sky!

"Go to hell, the offspring of the Vulture Legion!" The soldier operating the machine gun shouted while pulling the trigger. The yellow-orange cartridge cases came out from the other end of the machine gun and scattered on the side.

"Boom!" Obviously, the machine gun position on this side was noticed by the plane in the air. A Stuka bomber swooped down, and a small bomb on the side of the wing was dropped.

The body of the machine gunner flew across, and the anti-aircraft machine gun leaned aside.

There is a sea of ​​fire everywhere on the whole battlefield, which is simply a **** on earth!

The monoplane flew by, the biplane flew, and continued to drop the bombs. The entire position was as if it had been plowed.

"Is there anyone alive?" He threw the dirt on his head, got up from the trenches, and Cervantes shouted loudly. This scene made him sad. Is he the only one who survived?

"Almost died." A veteran greasy soldier came out from the trenches on the side: "The bombs of these people are too high!"

"Without anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns can do them!" One after another voices sounded continuously.

Without the entire army being wiped out, there are still more than a hundred people left! Cervantes looked at these standing people, many of whom were veterans. The first bombardment caused the recruits to fall.

Sitting heavily back in the trenches, Cervantes took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a hard puff. When the nicotine entered his lungs, he felt extremely satisfied.

After a bombing, one's own position was shaky, and after the bombing, the other party was about to come up!

Those rebel craps, those noodle army craps, when I finish smoking this cigarette, I will fight with you!

But aren't the rebels besieging Badajoz? Why are you here? It's really strange.

At this moment ~www.novelhall.com~ he felt a slight tremor on the ground.

what happened?

"Oh, God, what is that?" The other soldiers were also smoking cigarettes. One soldier poked his head out and saw the dust on the distant horizon. He suddenly exclaimed.

what is that?

It can be seen to the naked eye that those galloping over are tanks! Those tanks are much larger than the Italian tanks! At this moment, those tanks are advancing in battle formation, their tails are emitting black smoke, that is the engine is exerting force, their crawlers are spinning, they are invincible!

The tall barrel is thick and long! It must be at least 50 mm thick! In this era, what kind of tank has such terrible firepower?

The tank of the Noodle Army is just a machine gun, even if it is a gun, it is a 37mm at most!

These huge monsters in front of them have exceeded their imagination. The old fried dough sticks, who were not afraid in front of the bombers, have realized that they are encountering terrible monsters that are even more difficult to deal with!
