Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2094 Chopping melons and vegetables
In the ancient city of Toledo in the early morning, the distant mountains and near the water are shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist.

Most of the city has been destroyed by more than two months of fierce fighting, and there is not even a complete house in a few blocks near the old castle of Toledo.

Ram and his uncle Soma walk through the ruins. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company will launch an attack on the Toledo Castle at [-] o'clock in the morning. Ram and Soma must arrive at the starting position in advance.

It can be seen that the residents of the ancient city of Toledo are relatively wealthy. Just passing by a collapsed house, Soma actually found a set of silver tableware in the ruins, which made Soma very happy.

Mercenaries, there are always such windfalls at any time.

Ram gained even more. As a precise shooter, he killed a Falangist member who was trying to escape the night before. While searching for the body, Ram found two gold coins with a face value of [-] pesetas, and a Vintage pocket watch.

The pocket watch was bought by the Umbrella Company at a price of 25 rand, 65 rand for a thousand pesetas, and a total income of 90 rand.

For Ram, 90 rand is not a small number. If the mercenaries of the umbrella company only perform some low-intensity tasks, their annual income is only more than 100 points.

If you accept a relatively high-intensity mission, such as the Spanish Civil War, then the income will be hard to say.

The salary is second, mainly this kind of windfall.

The Spanish Republican government may have no money, but the Spaniards are really rich.

After all, there were hundreds of years of plundering of the whole world in the age of great voyages. The princes and nobles ate meat, and the people at the bottom could also drink soup. Who could have no old things?

What Ram wanted more than anything else was a precision rifle with a scope attached.

It's a pity that this wish cannot be realized in the umbrella. Unless Ram joins the Southern African Defense Force, then with Ram's shooting level, he may be able to strive to become a real sniper.

In Umbrella Company, there are also many accurate shooters. Many veterans have superb shooting skills, and they don’t need a scope to shoot anywhere within 200 meters. Ram is one of the best.

"Look what I found—" Soma rushed to look for Ram, holding a silver candlestick in his hand.

The candlestick was too big, and Soma's three-day backpack was already full of tableware, so the candlestick couldn't be carried.

"Uncle, electric lights are already used at home, so what's the use of candlesticks?" Ram was also helpless, Suoma was desperate for poverty, and wanted to send everything home.

Ram and Soma have already settled in Port Elizabeth. They bought a new house provided by the umbrella company at a special price. Ram's nephew and niece have also been able to attend public schools in Port Elizabeth, although the teaching level of public schools is not as expensive as the price. Ram is still envious of private schools.

If possible, Ram would not want to be a mercenary, but would rather be a petroleum engineer.

"You can sell it for money, even if you don't sell it as an ornament—" Soma tried to put the candlestick into the three-day backpack.

It's too big to fit.

Soma wants to fold the candlestick.

I don't want the candlestick to be disconnected simply.

"Fuck, the Spaniards also make fakes—" Soma cursed as he looked at the gray cut.

Only the surface of the candlestick is plated with silver.

That's right, if it was pure silver, it would have been taken away by members of the People's Guard long ago, so it would be Soma's turn.

Ram felt sorry for him.

Good thing it's not sterling silver.

Otherwise, Soma would not be able to pack it in his own backpack, so he would definitely ask Ram to help.

Ram's backpack was already filled with all kinds of supplies needed for combat, and there was no extra space at all.

Ram didn't want to hang a candlestick on his buttocks and charge after the tank.

Yes, the Spaniards have tanks, but the French Renault, which participated in the World War 20 years ago, has long lagged behind in technology and cannot change the situation of the war.

Of course, it is still possible to provide cover for infantry.

The starting position is only 300 meters away from the ancient castle of Toledo, which is already within the shooting range of the rifle, but the defenders in the ancient castle lack the shooting skills of mercenaries, so this distance is very safe.

As for the artillery of the defenders, they had been destroyed in previous battles, and even the heavy machine guns of the defenders could not be used due to lack of cooling water.

This is the case with Maxim. The water-cooling design has strict requirements for cooling water. If there is no water, the barrel will be scrapped if a shuttle of bullets cannot finish firing.

There is no water source in the ancient castle of Toledo. It has only rained once in the past two months. The drinking water for the defenders is all provided by the People's Guard.

There are a large number of hostages in the castle, and their safety must be guaranteed.

So a very miraculous scene appeared.

It is said that in the past two months, the fighting has been on and off. In the morning, the two sides are still fighting fiercely. In the afternoon, the People's Guard will replenish supplies to the castle, mainly drinking water and food.

After the Umbrella Company took over the attack mission, the supply stopped immediately. Even though the defenders repeatedly threatened the safety of the hostages, Colonel Ronald Kelson did not compromise.

Colonel Ronald Kelsen doubted how many hostages remained in the castle.

After all, 60.00% of the ground buildings of the castle have been destroyed, and there are probably not many defenders left, not to mention the hostages.

After another space-time People's Guard withdrew, there were less than 500 defenders left in Fort Toledo, and there was no telling how many hostages were left.

"Follow me later, don't rush so fast, and be careful of the Spaniard's trap." Ram told Soma carefully.

Soma nodded repeatedly, without any sense of being an uncle.

It seems that Soma once told Ram in this way when he was in the Asia Minor peninsula.

At that time, Ram was just a novice who had just joined the umbrella.

Now that Ram has become an excellent mercenary, Soma has gone from bad to worse.

After completing this mission, Soma is ready to leave the umbrella and return to his family to enjoy family happiness.

At eight o'clock, the umbrella company's mortars began to bombard, and the shells passed over the starting position, accurately hitting the almost ruined castle.

Ram took a deep breath, the clear air in the morning was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the secretion of adrenal glands accelerated instantly, making Ram excited.

boom--

The shells hit the already crumbling walls with precision.

The wall finally overwhelmed and collapsed.

A rebel appeared on the ruins, dragging a woman by her hair, trying to threaten her with hostages.

The rebels in the castle don't know that the attacking force has been replaced by mercenaries from the umbrella company.

Ram's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. As soon as the long knife in the rebel's hand was raised, he was shot down by Ram.

At a distance of 300 meters, the mechanical aiming has lost its effect, and it all depends on the gun feel.

Gun sense is a very magical thing, it is not easy to describe in words, just like a woman's sixth sense, mysterious and unpredictable.

At this time, two Renault tanks provided by the People's Guard burst into action.

The total combat weight of the Renault tank is only 7 tons, the maximum speed is 10 kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel distance is 39 kilometers.

Ram and Soma are on the waist. Although the height of the Renault tank is 2.29 meters, it is the height of the turret. The height of the tracks on both sides is only 1.5 meters, and the width of the Renault tank is only 1.75 meters. Three soldiers walk side by side You have to expose one, and the protection provided is really limited.

But it's better than nothing.

The tank driver driving the Renault is also very coquettish, firing while walking, not so much hoping to cause damage to the enemy, but rather to embolden himself.

Renault simply doesn't have the ability to shoot on the move.

Ram closely followed the track on Renault's side. He was wearing a steel helmet, with only two eyes exposed, and the rifle in his hand was always up, ready to shoot at any time.

A Spanish aunt suddenly appeared in the ruins next to her.

The aunt probably thought that the sound of the tank's engine had disturbed her slumber, so she jumped up and down on the ruins and cursed.

It's amazing that there are still people staying in the ancient city of Toledo at this time. Sure enough, there are people who are not afraid of death.

Ram ignored Auntie and focused on the approaching castle.

It can be seen that the castle is still quite majestic. The four-story tower must be more than 50 meters high. The windows have been transformed into shooting holes by the defenders, and they are tightly blocked with sandbags. This operation is not very professional, and sandbags can help defend While the army provides cover, it will also block the defender's sight. Ram's goal is the moat. As long as he crosses the moat, it will be a blind spot for the defenders to shoot.

The People's Guard's more than two-month attack has yielded results, at least the moat has been filled.

Just when Ram was about to reach the moat, the Renault tank was hit by the defender's anti-tank rifle. The tanker tried to back up in a hurry, and almost ran over Ram, who was following the tank.

Yes, the castle defenders did not have anti-tank guns, but they had anti-tank rifles.

Anti-tank rifles also have a long history and appeared in the last world war.

The anti-tank rifle is mainly aimed at small tanks like Renault without heavy armor.

Anti-tank rifles are useless for the latest Tiger and Leopard models in service in southern Africa.

The idea of ​​anti-tank in southern Africa is to use tanks to deal with tanks. This was originally the idea of ​​the Royal Navy, and it is not against the law to be used in the army.

Of course, if you lack tanks, you can also use direct-fire guns and bazookas.

Renault was hit by an anti-tank rifle, and the mercenary's offensive formation instantly became chaotic.

Without hesitation, Ram jumped directly into a nearby ruin, using the ruins as a cover to keep approaching the castle!

The defenders noticed Ram and kept shooting at Ram. The bullets hit the wall next to Ram, and the splashed gravel scratched Ram's cheek.

Ram didn't fight back, and used the cover of the ruins to move quickly.

The shooting skills of the defenders were really sloppy, and Ram successfully reached the bottom of the castle.

From Ram's position, through the walls of the castle, Ram could even hear the exclamation of the defenders inside the castle.

Ram opened the three-day backpack he carried with him, took out the explosive pack prepared in advance, placed it and ignited it in one go, and Ram turned and ran.

boom--

The last wall collapsed, and the sky filled with gunpowder smoke and dust engulfed Ram's figure.

Di-

The officer blew his whistle, and the mercenaries left the bunker and charged towards the castle.

It was not yet nine o'clock.

Just like this, the People's Guard has been fighting for more than two months?
