Chapter 12: Champagne at Half Time!

As the convoy drove through the city, Shepard paid special attention to the streets on both sides, this small coastal city was a famous resort five years ago, but now there are almost no open shops on the streets, and there are not many pedestrians, but many soldiers in aid uniforms can be seen looting and pulling strong men, but these people Shepard did not help, after all, in some ways, he is the culprit who has made Yara like this.

After driving out of the city and entering the military base, the dead silence just now disappeared in an instant, and there were many flowery women and hawkers on both sides of the road, which is not surprising, in countries that are caught in civil war, the rich are often only the army, but these women and hawkers are very discerning and do not stick to the car, but many soldiers who are consuming are scared and run away, obviously afraid of being seen from above.

In the camp, the CIA agents who played the front station have completed the vigilance, they will be responsible for the security of the perimeter, as for the internal ones, they will be handed over to the company's veterans to be responsible, although these old fritters have nothing to do and like to touch fish, drink and play cards, but at the critical moment, they are still very useful!

After the black lady entered the barracks, she led everyone into a well-defended small building in the center of the camp, and then, the security guards immediately took over the defense, in front of the door of the small building, into the stairwell behind the small building, at the staircase on the second floor, and even at the door of the room, until finally, there were only the woman and two officers with the same surname Castillo, Morgan Smith, and a tall bodyguard next to Shepard and Morgan.

After entering the room, Shepard immediately took the lead and stood behind the door, although this position has a bad view, but if someone breaks through, it is a more advantageous counterattack position, and Morgan's bodyguard had to frown and stay on the other side, that is, the position that can be reached as soon as the door opens.

The two glanced at each other, and Shepard could see the other's helplessness, and he squeezed his eyes at the guy.

No one paid attention to the small interaction between the two bodyguards, because after entering the room, the widow of the former president began to put forward conditions, from soldiers to tanks, to fighter jets, and even asked the US military to intervene directly, and the two Castillo on the side were also constantly helping.

"Yala's economy is on the verge of collapse, in addition to financial assistance, we need a lot of food, fuel, daily necessities, if you don't want to see Yara appear Russian submarines, then you have to help us!"

In the face of the other party's request, Morgan played Tai Chi, and the arms and materials he had aided before were enough to equip the three armies, plus a large amount of gasoline and food, which was enough to be benevolent and righteous, but the other party asked for more.

"If you want more assistance, then at least you can make some practical contributions, such as taking the capital, so that we can explain it to the Congress!"

"Then I hope it won't be long before we hear good news!"

Yolanda Rodriguez is extremely confident, now the Castile family's army is all American-style equipment, and has a lot of captured Soviet armored vehicles, coupled with the ever-expanding number of people, in her opinion, it is absolutely no problem to go head-to-head with the government army!

Not only her, but the admiral who commanded the battle on the front line was also full of confidence in this offensive and defensive battle in the capital, along the way, his army encountered only a handful of resistance, and the government forces of Yarra, who only had light weapons, could not even delay their advance, and now, they were only thirteen kilometers away from the capital Esperanza, as long as they worked hard, then victory would be within reach!

And the self-confidence of the top level naturally also affected the grassroots soldiers, most of the troops under the general were strong men from the poor mountainous areas, they did not do less in ordinary battles to loot the people and search for corpses, and now that the capital is at their fingertips, these soldiers who have long wanted to let go and make a lot of money immediately mustered up their strength to march towards the capital.

As a result, the Castillo army, which should have maintained a tight offensive formation, was drawn into a line on the winding road, the armored vehicles and artillery that should have opened the road at the front were crowded together, and several infantry regiments abandoned the heavy equipment in the rear, preparing to outflank the small road and go to the capital to grab a big robbery, and then, on the high ground outside the capital, an infantry company that was advancing in the vanguard finally hit the iron plate.

"Comrades, today, let's teach those NATO dogs how to fight!"

Seeing that the unsuspecting Castillo army had just walked into the encirclement, Major Malaschenk, the Russian commander who had secretly arrived in Yara earlier, immediately ordered to open fire.

The combined forces of the Cuban army and the Russian airborne forces annihilated the leading Castillo army with a single charge, and the commander of the group did not even react to the death of the enemy who attacked him, and then a torrent of steel consisting of T55 tanks and BTR armored transports mercilessly ran over their corpses.

Even the infantry company didn't even get the news, so the brigade that was marching quickly not far behind them collided with the tanks unsuspectingly.

In less than an hour, the Castillo army attacking Esperanza lost hundreds of men, and the remaining thousands of strong infantry either surrendered or lost their weapons and burrowed into the rainforest, and then the armored troops who were still struggling on the muddy roads suffered from the catastrophe, although the tank models on both sides were the same, how could those hastily trained Yara tankers be the opponents of the Cuban army, and the crowded roads were even more convenient for Cuban tankers to shoot targets.

The admiral never dreamed that an hour before he was thinking about what it would be like to enter Esperanza, and an hour later, his tens of thousands of troops would disappear in front of him.

"Quick, retreat!"

Seeing that the army had collapsed, the admiral immediately ordered the guards to flee with him, and the loyal guards immediately turned around and prepared to flee, and then, a Yara tank, which had also escaped by the way, drove up and collided with the admiral's car.

So, the hapless admiral and his guards received the lunch box in unison, and even the whole corpse could not be saved, whether it was a jeep or a corpse, it was crushed by the tank.

And the most fatal thing is that with the death of the admiral, the Castillo army in front directly turned into headless flies, and many of the officers who survived only thought about running away, and did not remember to send a message to the rear at all.

So, when Shepard learned that Castillo's army was crushed by the Soviets, the Russian tanks were already less than thirty kilometers away from him!
