Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2091 Toledo 1028 Warriors
The situation in the Spanish Civil War was complicated.

Russia hopes to use the Spanish Civil War to stabilize the rule of the Spanish Popular Front and break the British and French blockade of Russia.

Britain and France were worried about the influence of the Popular Front at home, so they did not hesitate to watch Franco come to power, even if this would further stimulate the ambitions of Germany and Italy.

Germany and Italy are more direct. They hope that after Franco takes power, they can form a front and back attack on France.

Southern Africa and the United States, the two extra-territorial countries, are purely doing business, helping whoever gives money.

Of all nations, Russia has the highest enthusiasm for the Spanish Civil War.

Not only Belgin came to Spain under the pseudonym Grishin, but also a large number of pilots, tankers, sailors, engineers and technicians, and Spanish translators, all came to Spain under pseudonyms, and the number of pilots alone exceeded 770.

The list of weapons provided by Russia to Spain includes 50 aircraft, 30 tanks, 60 artillery pieces, 120 light machine guns, 80 heavy machine guns, 1 rifles, tens of thousands of grenades, and 100 million rounds of ammunition.

It should be noted that this assistance is free of charge.

Caballero was very happy, he felt the sincerity of the Russians from this order.

Compared with the Russians, the performance of weapons and equipment in southern Africa is better, but who doesn't like free ones.

What's more, the price of weapons and equipment in southern Africa is 30.00% higher than before.

This made the Spanish Republican government fall directly to Russia.

After receiving Russian aid, the attitude of the Republican government even towards the mercenaries of the umbrella company has changed.

On April 4, Colonel Ronald Kelson of the Umbrella Company received a new combat order and rushed to the Fort Toledo in the suburbs of Madrid to fight.

This Toledo is the Toledo that is often mentioned in "Don Quixote". This small town was once the "capital of weapons" in Europe.

The Fortress of Toledo is located 70 kilometers south of Madrid. This is an ancient city that was built in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD.

The ancient city of Toledo has a history of more than 1000 years. Most of the buildings have been in disrepair for a long time and have become tourist attractions. Colonel Jose Moscado, the highest officer of the defenders, is 58 years old and has a total strength of only 1028.

这1028个人也成分复杂，其中包括600名国民卫队士兵、包括上校本人在内一共6名军官，此外还有100名军校生、35个长枪党人、10个卡洛斯党人、以及25个波旁党君主主义者。

Don't ask why the old fish knows so well. In another time and space, in 1940, the Italians made a film "Defense", which described the attack and defense of Toledo Castle.

It is conceivable how poor the performance of the People's Guard can be selected by the Italians as a model.

After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the ancient city of Toledo was occupied by the National Army led by Franco. After the People's Guard quelled the rebellion in Madrid, the ancient city of Toledo was besieged for more than two months.

In order to eliminate the 1028 people occupying the ancient castle of Toledo, the People's Guard has invested nearly 14000 people, but it still failed.

That's why Calevaro was not allowed to mobilize the mercenaries of the umbrella company.

Before receiving the order, the Umbrella Company had only 3600 mercenaries arriving in Spain.

In the previous phase of the battle, the mercenaries of the umbrella company suffered heavy casualties, and there are only 2800 mercenaries left who can still fight.

Colonel Ronald Kelson's residence is also in the manor where Alvin lives.

After receiving the combat order, Colonel Ronald Kelson took the initiative to come to Alvin and tell Alvin the news.

"14000 people beat 1028 people—it took two full months—why haven't they been defeated? Is Toledo Castle stronger than Liege Fortress?" The ancient city of Toledo should not be very strong.

"Toledo Castle has a history of more than 1000 years, and its defense capability was established according to the level of more than 1000 years ago. It has not been reinforced in recent years. The walls of the castle may not even be able to withstand heavy machine gun bullets." Ronald Kelson The colonel curled his lips. The Spanish People's Guard is similar to the National Guard in Southern Africa in terms of rank. They are all militias.

A militia is not the same as a militia.

The National Guard in Southern Africa has aircraft, artillery, and tanks. National Guard members receive regular military training, and their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of the official National Defense Forces.

The Spanish People's Guard are the civilians who have just put down their hoes. They have a fart fighting power.

The National Army led by Franco is the serious Spanish Defense Forces.

Alvin didn't know how to evaluate it.

It can only be said that the Spaniards, who are still enjoying the dividends of the age of great voyages and have been pampered for a long time, have forgotten how to fight.

In order to capture the Fortress of Toledo, the People's Guard kidnapped the son of Colonel Jose Moscado and asked him to call Jose Moscado, hoping that Jose Moscado would surrender voluntarily.

José Moscado on the phone: Give your soul to God and to your country, long live Spain!
Jose Moscado's son is equally tough: I can do it, long live Spain!

Rumor has it that Jose Moscado's son was shot by the People's Guard after he hung up the phone.

This was actually a rumor, and Jose Moscado was actually killed in an airstrike by the National Army afterwards.

As for being killed by the national army.

Whether he was shot by the People's Guard is unknown.

Persuading surrender fails, only hard attack.

The People's Guard concentrated all the artillery and completely destroyed the tower of Toledo Castle, and the People's Guard was finally able to approach the castle.

A week ago, the People's Guard finally dug the tunnel under the Toledo Castle, filled the tunnel with a large amount of explosives, and prepared to completely destroy the Toledo Castle.

Calevaro was invited to the scene to detonate the explosives himself, and the Republican government also invited many foreign journalists to witness this historic moment.

The explosives were so powerful that they completely destroyed the western half of the entire castle.

Under the cover of tanks, the People's Guard launched a final attack on the castle.

Unexpectedly, they were still repelled by the tenacious defenders.

It is against this background that Umbrella Corporation received combat missions.

Colonel Ronald Kelson came to Alvin, hoping to get help from Alvin's guards.

As mentioned earlier, Phyllis formed a powerful guard for Alvin.

The 120 guards are all accurate shooters in terms of strength.

Some of them are experts in demolition, some can fly planes, some can drive tanks, and they can even drive away a destroyer in a critical moment.

The defenders of Fort Toledo are now hiding in the bombed-out ruins and shooting black guns. Colonel Ronald Kelson needs the anti-sniper capabilities of the Alvin Guards.

The armored vehicles of the Alvin Guard are also required.

The "Alligator" armored vehicle equipped by the Alvin Guard is equipped with a 12.7mm caliber machine gun and a 40mm grenade launcher.

Alvin didn't speak, he had no decision-making power, and Li Yan's consent was needed to mobilize the guards.

"I'm sorry Colonel, this is your combat mission, not mine—" Li Yan struggled.

Li Yan also didn't want to accompany Alvin to walk the dog and fish in the palace all day.

But unless authorized by the Palace of Justice, Li Yan could not give Colonel Ronald Kelson any help.

"Li, your subordinates are now also members of the Umbrella Company—" Colonel Ronald Kelson was dissatisfied. Alvin's guards also came to Spain under the banner of the Umbrella Company.

That is to say, the Spanish Republican government still doesn't know that there is such a powerful army hidden in the suburbs of Madrid.

Otherwise, the combat order of the Republican government would have been issued to Li Yan long ago.

Li Yan didn't speak, his task was to protect Alvin's safety.

"Brother Li, you can send someone to Toledo Castle, and I promise not to leave the palace." Alvin solemnly promised that everything is difficult at the beginning.

"You promise?" Li Yan finally let go.

"I promise!" Alvin was overjoyed, his expression as firm as granite.

Just when Li Yan finally let go.

In the old castle of Toledo, Vincent Rojo, chief of staff of the People's Guard, was at a loss.

The garrison of Toledo, led by José Moscado, showed exceptional unity, and they fought the siege for two full months without a single man surrendering.

Vincent Rojo had entered the city to negotiate, promising to allow everyone to leave safely as long as the defenders put down their weapons, but no one followed him.

This made Vincent Rojo simply incomprehensible.

The ancient castle of Toledo has been completely surrounded by the People's Guard for two months. There is no shortage of food in the castle, but there is a lack of drinking water.

For two whole months, there was only one rain.

Vincent Rojo couldn't even imagine how the defenders in the castle survived these two months.

For two months, the Republican government and the People's Guard have also been under tremendous pressure.

There is a radio in the old castle of Toledo, which can get in touch with the outside world.

Franco originally had no hope for Toledo Castle. No matter from any point of view, the defenders of Toledo Castle could not hold on for too long, and the battle might be completely over within a week.

I didn't expect this dozen to last for two months.

Indifference from the very beginning.

Up to now, Franco has dubbed the defenders of Toledo Castle as "Toledo 1028 Warriors" to make a big splash.

From a historical point of view, the People's Guard must be righteous, and Franco is a rebel.

But in Spain today, attitudes are changing.

Think about 14000 people, and you can't even beat 1028 people. What does this mean?
Most Spaniards don't have a clear view of right and wrong most of the time, and they help whoever wins.

This is really not Ruxi. If you think about how the Spaniards plundered the world after the Age of Discovery opened, you will know what the Spaniards' worldview is.

On May 5, the mercenaries led by Colonel Ronald Kelson finally arrived in the ancient city of Toledo and officially took over the combat mission against the ancient castle of Toledo.

On this day, the first batch of weapons and equipment aided by Russia arrived in Spain.
