"Dragovich, I warn you! Pay less attention to that child. Her future is limitless, and I won't let you scumbag touch a single hair of her! ”

"Tsk! Old friend, I'm so sad if you look at me like that. That's right! The girl was young and pretty, and if I could be a year or twenty younger, I would have pursued her madly, but I was almost old enough to be her father now. Like you, I also fancy her ability to attract my command. ”

Hearing Dragovich's words, Rezhnov's expression softened somewhat, and the pistol was reinserted into the holster.

"Then I won't let her fall into the dark and follow a villain like you!"

"Then we'll see. Oh yes! One thing I have to inform you is that in order to ensure the victory of this counteroffensive outpost, I will personally direct this battle. Colonel Rezenov, please go back and prepare at once, we will attack after dark, good luck to you. ”

"You ...... guy"

In the face of Dragovic, whose rank and position are overwhelming him, Rezenov can only endure, if he disobeys, the other party will undoubtedly seize the opportunity to rectify himself, and then he will not be able to protect the young pilots under him. In desperation, Rezenov, even if he was as fierce as fire, could only force himself to endure it.

Returning to his camp, Rezenov told the people the order to attack at night, and to prepare the squad to keep all the bodies in the best condition. In the previous battle for Marta, Rezenov's squadron lost 3 BT-5 and 1 T-26, and the source of troops and equipment has not been replenished, and the whole squadron now has only 16 mechs left.

If only these light mechs were used as the vanguard to guide the infantry attack, Rezenov felt that before they could charge into the enemy position, more than half of the mechs would be destroyed in the middle of the way. It was getting late. Rezenov racked his brains and couldn't think of a good solution, so in a fit of anger, he couldn't help but slam the wooden box sitting under his buttocks, and as a result, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw that there were some words on the box that he didn't recognize.

"Hugo, Hugo, come here, do you know Tang Chinese?" What's written on this box? ”

The glasses man named Hugo came over, glanced at the box, and said to Rezenov.

"It was written on the box a Type II heavy smoke grenade...... Brackets, mecha only. ”

"Where did we get this thing?"

"Boss, have you forgotten? You asked us to find a way to steal some heavy weapons from that Tang boy's ship, and as a result, Peter who led the team was caught by the family. Not only did the other party not blame us afterwards, but also sent us a few boxes of this thing. ”

"That's not right! How is it that the situation in my head is not your version? ”

"Uh...... I'll be honest with you, boss! Peter's boys were afraid of being embarrassed, and they didn't tell you about their arrest when they came back, and I accidentally said it just now. So ......"

"Okay, I don't care about this, you just said that these boxes of things are smoke bombs?"

"I didn't say it, and it's a heavy smoke grenade for mechas."

"Haha! That's great. That's what I want...... Come here, Dad, I'll rearrange the battle plan for you......"

A few hours later. Two IRA infantry divisions moved to a distance of 15 kilometers from Bunona. The more than 20,000 men will launch an offensive against Bunona with limited artillery and air support. The narrow frontal battlefield meant that a maximum of one regiment could be committed to each attack, so it was planned that each regiment would charge the enemy in turn at sortie intervals of 10 minutes, and Rezenov's armored detachment would take the lead!

Don't look at the light mechs, which move very fast. However, there is a 1,500-meter-long open area in front of the enemy position, which was originally farmland, and the soft ground will severely affect the movement of the mechs, and the slightest weakness will trap them. In order to increase survivability. The rearmament squad used the destroyed mechs to make 11 39mm (three-layer BT-5 main armor) thick steel shields for the T-26 formation, which could provide an additional layer of protection for the cockpit.

And on the inner walls of these round shields with a diameter of one meter and two, there are all two oversized egg grenades.

Smoke grenades have appeared as early as the cold weapon period, and they can be regarded as a non-lethal weapon with a long history. However, this kind of weapon has been attached to human soldiers until now, after all, the human target is relatively small, and the flexibility of throwing is high, Zhao Jian saw this vacancy and made the first heavy smoke grenade for mecha in history.

These smoke grenades are the size of a casserole, and the trigger occurs not the usual pull ring but the impact bar, as long as the mecha knocks it on the body. And because of the large body of the projectile, the amount of smoke is crazy.

Eleven T-26s approached the enemy line from a relatively hard section in the middle of the battlefield at intervals of 50 meters, while five BT-5s followed them slowly at the initial stage, approaching at an equal distance before charging. lest they charge too fast and be wiped out by the rebels before the follow-up troops can catch up. And behind these mechs, a whole regiment of Spanish infantry.

Before leaving, Rezenov slipped out of the canopy and shouted at the BT-5 following him.

"Chrisgaard!"

"What's the matter? Captain. ”

"Remember to protect yourself, silly girl."

Locked back in the cockpit, Rezenov took a deep breath and maneuvered his T-26 to take the first step in the attack!

"Mech, forward!"

Walking forward in great strides, the T-26s first pressed their speed to guide the infantry closer, and the night provided them with excellent cover, and although the soft mud affected the mech's movement, it effectively reduced the noise and vibration of the mech's advance. The attacking troops did not reach 400 meters in front of the rebels before they were spotted by a swept searchlight.

"Enemy attack!"

After all, it was an expansion of elite troops, and the rebel brigade began to return fire in an all-out way only 3 minutes after discovering the enemy's situation, and the light and heavy machine guns began to strafe together, and some unlucky Republican soldiers were hit by the bullets flying indiscriminately, and their screams suddenly brought a bad impact to the nervous comrades beside them, and some people began to rush forward with a roar, and even crossed the mecha battle line without authorization, and were swept into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets on the spot.

Just by the crackling sound of gunfire outside, Rezenov found that the enemy firepower was stronger than they had predicted at the beginning, and the number of machine guns was unbelievable. But what Rezenov didn't know was that the other party was not actually using a light machine gun, but an assault rifle sold by Zhao Jian to Franco.

The brigade was assigned a total of 200 assault rifles, all of which were deployed by the commander in the first line of positions, serving as mobile firepower, and the Republican soldiers who had reached the effective range were almost unable to raise their heads when they were beaten by them.

Such a strong firepower made Rezenov understand that it would not be long before the Spanish recruits who were following them would wear off their only commendable courage under the rain of bullets, and then the regiment would be finished! Seeing that he was less than 400 meters away from the enemy position, Rezenov immediately turned on the megaphone and shouted in half-baked Spanish.

"Bring the grandfather with me...... Ulla! (To be continued......)
