Victoria Harbor, Fernando Street, which was the most prosperous wealthy area in Victoria three months ago, has now been reduced to a war zone and is devastated.
The brutal tug-of-war for days has completely destroyed the entire block. There is not even a complete house left. All the doors and windows have been destroyed, and only the lone wall is still standing. The place where the battle was fiercest has changed hands several times, and the white marble has changed hands several times.
The walls were blackened by the fire, and the ground was covered with dried dark red blood. There were still a few scattered corpses in the center of the street that had not been cleaned up in time. A vulture feeding on the rotting corpses flew down and circled the corpses several times.
Not daring to fall down, it spread its wings and flew away with a strange cry.
Sun Meng led his company and hid in these ruins.
After days of bloody fighting, the company led by Sun Meng only had 35 men left, and all three of his second lieutenants were killed. Sergeant Major William was injured in yesterday's battle. He smuggled across the Santa Maria River overnight and was sent to Kitchener on the other side of the river for treatment.
Together with Rex, his "little monster" had run out of fuel and shells a week ago. Both Martha and Ben had died in the battle. Rex himself had been wounded, but he refused to evacuate.
Go to Kitchener, insist on staying in Victoria to fight.
“How do you feel now?” Sun Meng was concerned about Rex’s injuries. This stubborn guy had been injured three times in the previous battle, but he was still fearless of death.
So far, Rex has killed nearly twenty enemies, a result confirmed by Sun Meng himself.
"It's a small problem, I won't die -" Rex's expression was cold, his eyes were as melancholy as a pool of stagnant water. He was cutting his beard with a knife, one strand after another. He accidentally cut the skin without blinking.
.
Even when the battle is the most difficult, Rex attaches great importance to his appearance. He often says that even if he dies in battle, he must die cleanly. That is the best destination for a soldier.
Yes, he is a soldier. Although Rex has been retired for a long time, he has always held himself to the standards of a soldier, and he has indeed done so. Mercenaries do not have a strong will like Rex.
"What you have done is worthy of the salary paid to you by the Mizhou government. Listen to me and withdraw to Kitchinna as soon as possible. Don't forget that your family is still waiting for you-" Sun Meng still couldn't help but persuade, otherwise
Rex will die here sooner or later.
"I want to help Martha and Ben earn more, at least that way I can feel better when I go to meet Martha and Ben's family." Rex's voice was calm. This was the only way he could compensate Martha and Ben.
This way.
Actually, when the "little monster" ran out of fuel a few days ago, Rex was like withdrawing Kitchin.
How can a tanker fight without a tank?
Martha and Ben disagreed. They wanted to continue making money. Probably in their eyes, the money was just like picking up money for free.
In the battle some time ago, the government troops, who lacked heavy weapons, were basically defenseless when faced with tanks. In just half a month, Martha and Ben each earned nearly two thousand rand.
Normally, two thousand rand is a lot, but people's desires are endless. When the war didn't break out, I just wanted to earn one thousand rand to build a house for my family. But when I earned one thousand rand, my goal was
It has been quietly increased to two thousand.
The same goes for Martha. When mercenaries have no combat missions, they only have a basic salary, which actually means they don’t have much money.
In Brazil, Martha and Ben received the basic salary of the Umbrella Company, foreign station allowances and combat allowances, as well as bonuses from the Mizhou state government. Every time a government soldier was killed, the Mizhou state government clearly marked the price.
The money is just like picking it up for free.
As a result, three days ago, the government army's attack suddenly became fierce. Martha and Ben died in battle, and finally paid the price for their greed.
“Do you feel that there is something wrong with this wave of government troops?” Sun Meng felt something was wrong. He still remembered that when the war just broke out, the performance of the government troops was inconsistent, even worse than that of the militia.
As a result, a week ago, the performance of the government troops was completely different. The Mizhou Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Both Martha and Ben were killed in the wave of offensive by the government troops.
“I don’t know, I just know that no matter who the enemy is in front of us, my mission is to send them to meet God.” Rex’s hand paused, and his eyes were also thoughtful.
“See God? It’s a good idea, send them to see the King of Hell——” Sun Meng corrected, the collision between Eastern and Western cultures caught people off guard.
Rex nodded and said nothing. There are also characters similar to the King of Hell in Western mythology. Hades in Greek mythology and Satan in the Bible have similar status to the King of Hell.
"Do you think it's possible that our opponent has been replaced by the Americans?" Sun Meng was not sure. However, it would be normal for the Americans to join the war. Counting on government troops, it would be impossible to capture Victoria.
Rex finally shaved his beard cleanly and wiped it with a wet towel with a calm expression.
"possible--"
It is no wonder that Sun Meng and Rex suspected that the lack of combat effectiveness of the government army had a lot to do with the lack of experience of the government army.
Although new recruits will become veterans as quickly as possible after participating in several battles, the casualties of every attack by the government army are huge. New recruits lack the opportunity to become veterans, so there is no reason for the government army to turn upside down overnight.
The change.
Then the only explanation is that the Americans have entered the war.
Otherwise, the Mizhou Army would not have suffered such heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Sun Meng and Rex had a complicated feeling in their hearts at the same time, just like Tom was instantly relieved when he discovered that the pilot flying the "Strong Wind" was from southern Africa.
This is reasonable.
However, unlike Tom who accepted it calmly, after thinking about this, Sun Meng and Rex both clenched the guns in their hands.
Americans!
Very good, so what about Americans, Grandpa Southern Africa is here!
Although they are in a battlefield, the logistics support of the Mizhou Army is pretty good. Sun Meng and Rex’s breakfast is all canned food. Southern Africa has a rich variety of canned food, including meat, vegetables and vegetables. There are also canned fruits, although they are relatively rare. Sun
As officers, Meng and Rex are definitely qualified to enjoy it.
Sun Meng’s favorite thing is braised pork. Although the fat in the canned braised pork has been cured, the nutrients are not lost at all. One box of canned meat can provide enough calories for the whole morning’s battle.
With a half-pound box of canned braised pork and a bottle of green beans from Rhodesia, and a can of yellow peaches shared with Rex, Sun Meng felt full of strength and could swim all the way back to southern Africa from Victoria.
Well, this is definitely an illusion.
Before they had time to put away the cans they had just finished, the screams of artillery shells were heard in the air. Sun Meng and Rex held their guns and crawled to the side of the wall. This was a wall made of marble with a thickness close to
One meter, forming a stable triangular structure with the corner next to it, which can provide maximum protection to Sun Meng and Rex.
If you can get killed in this way, then you can only blame yourself for bad luck.
Sun Meng and Rex are still lucky to have survived until now. Rex leaned against the wall and began to check his general machine gun. This was removed from the "Little Monster" and has now become Rex's most reliable weapon.
arms.
Sun Meng still used the Lee Enfield that was most commonly used by mercenaries. On the battlefield, a weapon that is handy is far more important than a more powerful weapon.
Boom——
A cannonball exploded not far away from Sun Meng and Rex. Sun Meng and Rex covered their ears and closed their mouths at the same time.
If you don’t want to cover your ears, you can open your mouth. This way, the air pressure inside and outside the body can be balanced and you can still withstand the impact of the impact.
But it’s not a good idea to open your mouth. Along with the impact, there will also be dust and acrid and choking smoke, so it’s better to cover your ears.
Violent explosions were heard continuously. Sun Meng and Rex felt as if they were sitting on a big drum. A stone fell and hit Rex's helmet. Rex was suddenly dizzy.
Luckily, if the stone had been bigger, Rex might have been directly hit to death.
Even if the steel helmet can withstand it, the fragile cervical vertebrae cannot.
After a long time, the shelling finally faded away and extended deeper into the city.
Sun Meng and Rex didn't have time to catch their breath, so they quickly entered the position with guns in hand. At this time, the enemy wearing government uniforms was less than fifty meters away from the position where Sun Meng and Rex were.
Since the battle started, the government army's infantry and artillery coordination has reached a certain level. At least there will be no mishaps such as the landing troops being accidentally hit by artillery shells fired by the government army.
At such a close distance, Lee Enfield was definitely not as effective as a grenade, so as soon as Sun Meng entered the fighting position, he took off two grenades and pulled off the tabs. He paused for three seconds in his hands, then roared and charged at the enemy with all his strength.
Throw it over.
Hand grenades exploded in the air, and screams and wails were heard endlessly. Rex, who had already set up the general machine gun, listened to the messy sounds of "Fuck" and "Bullshit" and gently pulled the trigger.
Whether it's "Fake" or "cake buyer", it all illustrates the problem. The common language in Brazil is Portuguese, not English.
So the enemy on the opposite side is definitely not Brazilian.
——
Rex's proficiency with the general-purpose machine gun is no less than Ben's. The rapid burst of fire will knock the attacking enemies off their heads. Unfortunately, except for knocking down two enemies when he first opened fire, the remaining enemies are very smart.
Hiding without showing your head.
Sun Meng didn’t even touch Lee Enfield. He threw two grenades and took out two more. He threw them at the positions in his memory. Immediately, there was another burst of howling.
By this time, the whole of Victoria had been plunged into fierce fighting, and brutal hand-to-hand fighting even broke out in some neighborhoods.
The morning sun has just risen, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
The whole city is shrouded in reddish morning fog.
