"Da Da Da-"

The two heavy machine guns arranged in front of them spewed out dazzling muzzle flames, and a round of 6.5×52mm Carcano rifle rounds caused a bloody storm among the panicked villagers.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

The roar of the heavy machine gun lasted less than ten seconds, but Zhou Changfeng felt as if it was ten minutes long.

In the short time of these few breaths, more than a hundred lives were lost, including gray-haired old men and children no taller than rifles, whose fledgling life journey was cut off like a progress bar.

"As you wish, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, they died because of you. I know that you who only make war money will have no mercy. ”

As he spoke, Enrique, who looked relaxed, reached out and slipped the photo into the pocket of Zhou Changfeng's regular clothes.

The gentle and refreshing spring breeze is still blowing, but it is not the breath of nature that is vibrant, but the smell of blood that is disgusting.

Somehow, Zhou Changfeng felt that he had calmed down instead, and his clenched fist was released.

After everything was a fait accompli, the previous tension and entanglement dissipated at once.

"A merchant who makes war money is better than an executioner who slaughters civilians." He said calmly.

"War allows all means." Enrique shrugged his shoulders and said mockingly, "Isn't it a fault to watch the death of a hundred people and not help?" ”

"Whether I tell you or not, it's not right. Neither choice is right, so... It's your fault that made me choose. ”

"So what? Okay, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the game is over, please go back, I borrowed your notebook for the time being, and I will send it back later, after all, this is the result of your work. If you want to stay and see how the Italian army fought, I won't refuse. ”

Where the fuck do you get that confidence from?

The expressionless Zhou Changfeng took a deep breath and replied coldly, "If I'm free, I will." ”

The Italian army did not embarrass the three of them anymore, and directly returned the matching guns, and Adara, who was tied with his hands behind his back, was also loosened.

They got into the Type 62 off-road vehicle, reversed over, and then flew away from the place of right and wrong.

The gloomy sky seemed to have enough of it, and after a thunderous "boom", heavy rain poured down.

"Damn it!" With tears in her eyes, Adara cried out through gritted teeth: "These robbers from the Apennines! ”

Zhou Changfeng lit a cigarette for himself, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Adara, do you think I did something wrong?" ”

"Of course not, although you don't know the specific battle plan of our army, those deployments may also alert the rebels......"

After driving more than a dozen kilometers in the direction of Guadalajara, the Type 62 off-road vehicle blew the left front tire.

As the predecessor of the famous Type 82 barrel car, the off-road performance of the Type 62 is much worse, and the reliability can only be said to be average.

Just when a few people had just changed the spare tire, they suddenly heard the sound of the engine getting closer and closer in front of them?

Everyone looked up, and the hearts that had just been lifted suddenly relaxed—it was a four-wheeled armored car painted with the Iron Cross emblem.

The other party obviously spotted them too, so they drove over directly.

"The Type 221 armored car of the Germans is estimated to be the scout unit of the Red Eagle Legion." Chen Guangyun judged without thinking.

The Sdkfz.221 armored reconnaissance vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and the machine gunner on the roof spoke a few words of German, but no one understood.

In this multi-national area, language communication is really difficult, and none of them can speak German; And the crew of this armored car also does not seem to understand French or English.

However, they radioed the situation and motioned to follow them back.

A quarter of an hour later, the rain stopped, and they were taken to a wooded area a few kilometers away.

There were two Type 62 barrel trucks and an Sdkfz.221 armored car parked here, a captain holding a map, two ensigns leaning around, three pointing and talking, surrounded by a dozen soldiers with guns.

A sergeant jumped out of the armored car just now, he walked straight over, and then pointed at Zhou Changfeng and the three of them and said a few words.

A little later, the officers came over, and the captain, who was the leader, saluted, and tried to ask in English, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"Zhou Changfeng" can speak French but not English, and Zhou Changfeng can speak English but not French, the two are combined, and now they can be called bilingual.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Two hours ago we were ambushed by the Italian army on our way to the village of Alibero, and they took us to the village of Capuelen, where the defenders have been destroyed, and the Italian and national armies are about two company-sized motorized units,......"

After listening to his account, the captain muttered: "It seems that the Italians do not know what we are doing, and they will pay the price for carelessness and brutality." ”

After a few days of hibernation, the Nationalist and Italian forces resumed their offensive – first infiltrating the rear of the Republican line with rapid detachments of tanks and trucks, while concentrating forces on the front to break through.

On this side, the Republican Army has added a new infantry brigade, and the Red Eagle Legion has also temporarily formed a battle group to reinforce it.

They planned to make the enemy suffer a big loss, but the Nationalist army and the Italian army on the opposite side obviously did not know about it, otherwise it would not be possible to directly return these "neutral people".

The captain raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then looked at Zhou Changfeng and admonished: "There is going to be a big battle here, Mr. Observer, I advise you to evacuate Guadalajara as soon as possible." ”

For his kind suggestion, Zhou Changfeng just nodded, but did not clearly affirm.

The previous brutality that had taken place around him was still vivid, and Enrique's contemptuous words made his teeth itch.

In his opinion, that is an unpopular opponent, and he can disgust himself in the previous situation, if he really wants to fight the battlefield, Zhou Changfeng is sure that he can beat that self-righteous fool so that he doesn't even know his own mother.

In the early hours of the next morning, on the road from Guadalajara to Tarancon......

The flow of people with no end or tail on both sides of the road slowly moved southeast, like wriggling earthworms.

In the middle of the road are mostly horse-drawn carriages, but there are also horses and oxen, and occasionally a truck or sedan is interspersed.

The screams of wounded soldiers, the cries of children, the neighing of livestock, and the sound of car engines were mixed together, as if a claw was scratching the heart, which was particularly uncomfortable.

Because this phase of the fighting has already begun, and there may be street fighting, the civilians were asked to evacuate Guadalajara urgently last night, which is where the scene is now.

The off-road vehicle in which the three men were riding was also among them - last night, after learning of what happened to them, Major General Negro couldn't help but ask them to leave Guadalajara immediately.

His exact words were: "If you have an accident, it may affect your country's attitude towards us, and I cannot take any more risks".

Therefore, after hastily packing up their personal belongings, they had to join the retreating army.
