After executing the assassin with his own hands, Franco turned to Zhao Jian and thanked him, if he hadn't had his timely kick just now, Franco's head would have been much worse than the assassin's by now.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao, you just saved my life!"

"It's just a gesture, General Franco."

After this attack, Zhao managed to gain Franco's trust and friendship...... At least that's what it looks like on the surface. Zhao Jian, who is increasingly sensitive to human emotional fluctuations, can clearly feel that after the assassination, Franco has fallen into a state of "instability" in his heart, and the other party seems to be suspicious of everyone around him, including his life-saving benefactor Zhao Jian.

O conscience of heaven and earth! Zhao Jian had never arranged this kind of drama, his kick was completely subconscious, and he even regretted it a little in his heart after the kick. You must know that his current actual situation is equivalent to a two-way arms trade, in case Franco finds out about this, with this kind of heroic urine, it is definitely the rhythm of killing first and then trial.

I feel that this place is not suitable for a long time, Zhao Jian's idea, the first is not to be coaxed! Continue to "talk and laugh" with Franco, and promise to participate in the dinner party prepared by the other party, the more natural the better. The second is to hurry up! Urge the men on the docks to unload as quickly as possible, and then go north to the French colonies and circle to the territory of the Republican army.

And when Zhao arrived at Marta, the base camp of the Republican Army in the Astra region, three days later, he learned a very strange news from his local subordinates.

"There was an assassination here!? When was this? ”

Just three days earlier, on the same day that Franco had been assassinated, a vicious incident had taken place on the territory of the Republican Army.

A group of masked gangsters armed with German-made submachine guns suddenly rushed into the hospital and killed people on sight, and one of the senior generals of the Republican Army happened to be here to comfort the wounded soldiers. After the attackers rushed in, the general and the guards engaged in a fierce exchange of fire before retreating into a hospital room. The attacker was killed inside with a grenade.

After the 18 attackers had killed the hapless general, they engaged in a fierce battle for nearly two hours. In the end, it was the Republican Army that invited two Soviet armored planes to completely eliminate these gangsters who used their arms as vehicles.

Shooting, stampedes, half-done surgeries, and indiscriminate shelling of Maozi, the attack killed 159 people in hospitals and wounded more than 200 people. After the attack, the military quickly found the attacker's hideout and found a large number of German-made weapons and a radio station from it.

All kinds of evidence show that this tragedy was a terrorist attack planned by the National Army! The anger of the military and civilians on the side of the republican government is as if two barrels of gasoline have been poured on it. Burning out of control.

"Anyway, the Republican Army is now organizing a retaliatory counteroffensive, and the other side thinks we can lend them ships."

"Damn! Are you kidding!? Young master, I'm all a civilian ship, go to the front line to die? ”

"That'...... Reject them? ”

"What else can I promise? Forget it, I'll tell them about it myself. ”

The reason why Zhao Jian wanted to meet the generals of the Republican Army was not only because of the problem of the ship. is even more because of the strangeness revealed by this incident. As a Zhao Jian who understands the situation on both sides at the same time, and even experienced one of the assassinations. He didn't believe that the two sides of the civil war could be so complacent. On the same day, they decapitated each other...... If the hospital is a beheading!

No matter how you look at it, it seems like someone is deliberately stirring up hatred, but the information transmission in this era is not as convenient as in the Internet age, Franco still does not know about the hospital massacre, and the Republican side does not care whether Franco was assassinated or not, and they only have the idea of "blood debt and blood payment" in their minds now.

At this time, the colonial republican army could be said to be completely at a disadvantage. Troops, weapons and equipment, logistical supplies, and so on are inferior to the national army. If it weren't for Franco's intention to reduce losses and deploy the fleet in space in case of a possible surprise attack by the Republican fleet, they would never have been able to hold out until this time.

And these guys are now whimsical to launch a counteroffensive. The reason is simply because of the anger in the heart!

Following Diri, who led the way, Zhao Jian came to the command post of the Republican Army, the Marta Municipal Building.

At this time, the square in front of the building had become a camp for Soviet volunteers, and they wanted to leave this place because they saw that the square was suitable for the preparation of armored machine units. When Zhao came, the Soviet maintenance squad and pilots were debugging the T-26 and BT-5 standing in the open space, and he saw Chrisgar standing in front of a BT-5 at a glance.

Although he was wearing a rustic Soviet pilot's uniform, Chrisgar still gave Zhao Jian such a radiant feeling, and there was a hint of a different kind of "uniform temptation ~ confusion".

However, what made Zhao Jian worry about the other party was that the BT-5 behind the other party was more than fast, but the defense was quite worrying. The Nationalist side is currently armed with a 37mm anti-armor gun that can shred its armor from any angle.

At present, the Republican side has assembled six relatively complete infantry divisions, totaling more than 80,000 men, with the intention of recapturing an important high ground 50 kilometers to the east. When the Nationalist army first attacked, the defenders of this high ground fled without a fight, and as a result, the outer defense line of Marta collapsed, and the three and a half remnants of the army were blocked in the city by the Nationalist army with two divisions.

If the high ground can be recaptured, the IRA can turn the tide of the war. The commander is not just a hot brain, but hopes to use this surging anger to alleviate the bad disadvantage in front of him.

Relying on the identity of the supporters of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Jian and Di Rui finally met Lieutenant General Durutti, the supreme commander of the colonial republican army, in the command post after being searched and disarmed, and the representative of the Soviet army who studied the map with him was Colonel Rezenov.

In the first batch of Soviet assistance, a total of 4 armored squadrons were dispatched, but only Rezenov's squadron finally arrived at its destination. The other three troops were found by the Ganarias halfway because they were traveling together, and when Zhao Jian and Bari Ali encountered, the reason why the other party left in such a hurry was because the communication relay ship sent her sister's "hunting invitation".

Attack, attack, attack! Only an offensive can bring victory. Adhering to Maozi's usual tactical style, Rezenov was very much in favor of the counterattack, and the other party even offered to take the lead with his armored squadron. However, General Trutty of the Republican Army feared that the casualties would be too great to hold even if he captured the position, so he hoped to develop a tactic of "the best of both worlds". And Rezenov, who believes that this is a delay in the fighter, is constantly persuading him to abandon this "naïve" idea.

"No sacrifice, no victory! General, casualties are not the first thing you should consider. (To be continued......)
