Just after dawn, Commander Kulik of the third regiment got out of his command car and moved his joints as if no one else was around. He received an order to raid Merida last night, but everything went wrong. The entire regiment had a thousand
When there are many people gathering, there is a lot of procrastination. Halfway through, you have to leave the main road and take a trail.
As a result, the trail was extremely bumpy and the advancing speed was slow. After a long night of hard work, we finally arrived near the city of Merida, but all of his subordinates asked for a two-hour rest before moving. In the dark night, Captain Kulik did not refuse the request of his subordinates, because he
I am also tired.
The Third Regiment, which was adapted from the gangster armed forces, has always been loosely disciplined. They were originally private soldiers of the Diego family. They were lawless and had a habit of doing evil. The regiment leader could not strictly demand them, otherwise the soldiers would mutiny.
We had originally agreed to rest for two hours, but hours passed as soon as we lay down. It was not until dawn that the group leader crawled out of his tent. The cool air made him feel refreshed, and he called him in high spirits.
The adjutant asked: "How far are we from Merida?"
"About ten kilometers," the adjutant said.
"Let our artillery fire into the city, and at the same time let the young men in the regiment get up." Commander Kulik said proudly. He tightened the belt on his trousers and looked back at the two men lying in the tent behind him.
Girl, I thought that when we march and fight, we have to shoot!
The adjutant was a retired sergeant. His task was to assist his regiment commander in controlling the troops. At least he had some military knowledge. He hesitated and asked: "Commander, will this cause panic in the city? If the city is in a mess, it will not be conducive to our acceptance.
.”
"We are here to suppress the rebellion, not to have a carnival party." Commander Kulik grinned, and he slapped the adjutant on the shoulder hard, "To suppress the rebellion is to fire artillery, to completely frighten those lucky guys in the city.
, tell them to obey and never dare to resist again."
The adjutant had no choice but to nod and retreat to give the order. Half an hour later, the regimental artillery battery equipped with M119 105 mm caliber howitzers opened fire. The government artillery had no specific target at all and only fired at the maximum range into the city.
The rumbling sound of the artillery was deafening, but it woke up all the sleeping soldiers of the third regiment. They crawled out of various sleeping bags and tents, and relaxed quickly after learning that their own artillery was firing.
"Form the team, form the team, we will set off into the city after the bombardment. The commander allows you to carry out robbery for one day. Son of a bitch, you can have a good time!" The officers in the regiment began to mobilize and reassemble the soldiers one by one.
Get organized.
In the apocalyptic era, the bandit-like army is the mainstream. The army of Diego's regime relies on robbery and violence to maintain order and morale. The officers use violent words and actions to control their subordinates, while the soldiers at the grassroots level will bear the consequences themselves.
His tyranny was unleashed on the more unlucky lower classes of society.
With punches and kicks, more than a thousand people were driven into their respective vehicles. The engines were started one after another, and the soldiers drove toward the city of Merida. When they thought about it, the people in the city would definitely be roaring.
I was frightened by the explosion of grenades, but I waited for them to bully me.
The artillery company of the third regiment stopped firing after firing dozens of shells. The city of Merida, which was suddenly under bombardment, was in a panic. The areas that were bombarded suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors were unable to stay rational during the explosion.
and calmness.
"Steady, steady." In the barricades outside the city, a Mexican officer was comforting his subordinates who were fighting for the first time. A platoon was squatting in a temporarily dug trench, and everyone was resisting and holding on with rather crude weapons.
The officer leading the security force was infiltrated by the Mexican Liberation Army and received training from the Aurora Legion. He was still joking to his subordinates at this moment: "In Havana, the instructors used heavy machine guns to shoot over our heads and grenades to explode around us.
The taste is awesome..."
The officer's relaxation made the soldiers feel better, and not long after the bombardment ended, the soldier in charge of guarding at the front shouted: "Boss, the enemy is coming up."
A battalion of the third regiment swaggered in an armored vehicle and arrived outside Merida along Highway 180. When they entered the city, they found that the road had been dug out. A wide and deep trench appeared in front of them.
In the telescope, government soldiers got out of their cars and cursed. Dozens of vehicles were crowded on the road, very densely. The Mexican Liberation Army officer squatting behind the barricade couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated and his throat went dry. He had received battlefield stress training, but
The actual combat is also the first time.
"Artillery group, I am a group in area B. There are about 300 enemies on Highway 180 in front of me. The coordinates are areas 75 and 76. Requesting a fire test." The leading officer directly said on the radio
Contact the security army artillery group located at the rear and serve as an artillery observation post.
"Understood, areas 75 and 76, three rounds of test firing." The reply on the radio was very calm. As a technical arm, the artillery was personally controlled by the military advisory group from the Aurora Legion. They were all experienced veterans.
Where will the enemy come from? This issue has been repeatedly confirmed during the reconnaissance of Merida's security forces. At this moment, an enemy battalion appeared outside the city and was immediately targeted by the security army's artillery group, which had already planned to shoot at Zhu Yuan.
A battalion has twelve 66-type howitzers, all of which are big guys with a caliber of 152 mm. This thing was originally the main artillery of the Rabbit. It was used to fight Vietnam, and it has only been slowly retired in recent years. Now it is used by Zhou Qingfeng
He was dragged to the wasteland.
With the assistance of the existing digital artillery equipment in the wasteland, after the muzzles of the artillery group were simply adjusted, the commander issued the firing order.
Twelve artillery pieces immediately bombarded and fired continuously, thick smoke and flames spurted out, thunderous vibrations spread throughout the city, and large-caliber grenades flew out one after another. The target was several kilometers away.
The soldier of the third regiment of the government army is still confused.
The speed of the cannonball exceeds 900 meters per second, which is two or three times faster than the sound. Before the sound of the cannon is heard, the hail-like cannonball flies over and lands with a crash.
Due to the clear target indication, the artillery group hit the spot very accurately. The first shell directly hit the crowd behind the blocking ditch outside the city. More than ten kilograms of high explosives exploded, and a radius of dozens of meters was suddenly enveloped in thick smoke.
In the thick smoke, more than a dozen artillery shells followed closely, and explosions continued one after another. Occasionally, you could see fragmented human bodies and vehicle parts blown into the sky, but what happened in the thick smoke... Is it necessary to think about it?
It must have been blown to pieces!
The rumbling sound of artillery spread more than ten kilometers away, and the second wave of convoys of the third regiment had just set off at this moment. Hearing the muffled thunder-like sound from the distance, Captain Kulik thought it was thunder and it was going to rain.
Since the third regiment came from a small road, it took the security army reconnaissance team a while to confirm its location after wandering around in the dark for a long time.
However, in this era where discovery is instantaneous, danger will come after the information is reported. The big guy with the thickest tube behind the gun group also begins to adjust the steering gear and height machine. The gun barrel moves slightly and is about to fire!
