Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

In the ancient city of Toledo in the early morning, the mountains and rivers in the distance are shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist.

Most of the city has been destroyed by more than two months of fierce fighting, and not even a single complete house can be found in a few blocks near Toledo Castle.

Ram and his uncle Soma were walking through the ruins. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company will launch an attack on Toledo Castle at eight o'clock in the morning. Ram and Soma must reach the starting position in advance.

It can be seen that the residents of the ancient city of Toledo are relatively wealthy. When passing by a collapsed house, Soma actually found a set of silver tableware in the ruins, which made Soma very happy.

As mercenaries, there are always unexpected gains like this at any time.

Ram gained even more. As a precise shooter, he killed a Falangist member who tried to escape the night before. When searching the body, Ram found two gold coins with a face value of 500 pesetas and a

Vintage pocket watch.

The pocket watch was purchased by the Umbrella Company for 25 rand, which was converted into 65 rand for 1,000 pesetas, resulting in a total income of 90 rand.

For Ram, 90 rand is not a small number. If the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company only perform some low-intensity tasks, their annual income will be more than 100 points.

If you accept missions with relatively high intensity, such as the Spanish Civil War, the income will be hard to say.

The salary is secondary, the main thing is this kind of windfall.

The Spanish Republican government may not have money, but the Spaniards are really rich.

After all, after hundreds of years of plundering the world during the Age of Discovery, the princes and nobles ate meat, and the people at the bottom could also drink soup. Who could live without some old things?

What Ram wanted most was a precision rifle with a scope mounted on it.

Unfortunately, this wish cannot be realized in Umbrella. Unless Ram joins the Southern African Defense Force, then with Ram's shooting level, he may be able to become a real sniper.

There are also many precision shooters in the Umbrella Company, and many veterans have superb shooting skills. They can hit anywhere within two hundred meters without a scope, and Ram is one of the best.

"Look what I found-" Soma came to Ram excitedly, holding a silver candlestick in his hand.

The candlestick was a bit big, and Soma's three-day backpack was already full of tableware, making it impossible to carry the candlestick.

"Uncle, we already have electric lights at home, what's the use of candlesticks?" Ram was also helpless, Soma was afraid of poverty and wanted to send everything home.

Ram and Soma have settled in Port Elizabeth. They bought a new house provided by the Umbrella Company at a special price. Ram's nephew and niece were also able to attend the public schools in Port Elizabeth, although the teaching level in the public schools was not as expensive as the ones in Port Elizabeth.

A private school, which still makes Ram envious.

If possible, Ram would not want to be a mercenary, but would rather become a petroleum engineer.

"It can be sold for money, even if it's not sold as a decoration, it's good -" Soma tried to put the candlestick into a three-day backpack.

Too big to fit.

Soma wanted to fold the candlestick.

I don't want the candlestick to be disconnected easily.

"Fuck, the Spaniards also make fakes -" Soma looked at the gray fracture and cursed.

Only the surface of the candlestick is plated with silver.

That's right, if it was really pure silver, it would have been taken away by members of the People's Guard, so why would it be Soma's turn?

Ram felt sad.

Fortunately it's not sterling silver.

Otherwise, Soma will not be able to pack it in his own backpack, so he will definitely ask Ram for help.

Ram's backpack was already filled with all kinds of supplies needed for combat, and there was no extra space at all.

Ram doesn't want to have a candlestick hanging on his hip and charge with a tank.

Yes, the Spaniards have tanks, but the French Renault, which participated in the World War twenty years ago, has long fallen behind technologically and cannot change the situation of the war.

Of course it is still possible to provide cover for infantry.

The starting position was only three hundred meters away from Toledo Castle, which was already within the shooting range of the rifle. However, the defenders in the castle lacked the shooting skills of mercenaries, so this distance was very safe.

As for the defenders' artillery, they had been destroyed in previous battles, and even the defenders' heavy machine guns could not be used due to lack of cooling water.

This is the case with Maxim. The water-cooling design has strict requirements for cooling water. If there is no water, the gun will be scrapped before a round of bullets can complete the barrel.

Toledo Castle has no water source. It has only rained once in the past two months. All drinking water for the defenders is provided by the People's Guard.

It won't work if you don't provide it. There are a large number of hostages in the castle, and their safety must be guaranteed.

So a very magical scene happened.

It is said that the fighting has been incessant in the past two months. In the morning, the two sides were still exchanging fierce fire. In the afternoon, the People's Guard had to replenish supplies to the castle, mainly drinking water and food.

After Umbrella Company took over the attack mission, supplies were immediately stopped. Even though the defenders repeatedly threatened the safety of the hostages, Colonel Ronald Kelson refused to compromise.

Colonel Ronald Kelson wondered how many hostages were left in the castle.

After all, 60% of the castle's ground buildings have been destroyed, and there are probably very few defenders left, not to mention the hostages.

After the withdrawal of the People's Guard in another time and space, there were less than 500 defenders left in Toledo Castle, and there was no telling how many hostages were left.

"Follow me later, don't rush so fast, be careful of the Spanish trap." Ram warned Soma carefully.

Soma nodded repeatedly, without any sense of being an uncle.

It seems that Soma once told Ram like this when he was in Asia Minor.

At that time, Ram was just a newbie who had just joined the umbrella.

Now that Ram has become an excellent mercenary, Soma is getting worse.

After completing this mission, Soma was ready to leave the umbrella and return to his family to enjoy family happiness.

At eight o'clock, the Umbrella Company's mortars began bombarding. The shells passed over the starting position and accurately hit the old castle, which was almost in ruins.

Ram took a deep breath. The crisp morning air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The secretion of his adrenal glands instantly accelerated, and Ram's whole body became excited.

boom--

The shell accurately hit the already crumbling wall.

The wall finally became overwhelmed and collapsed.

A rebel appeared on the ruins dragging a woman by her hair and tried to threaten her with hostages.

The rebels in the castle still don't know that the attacking troops have been replaced by mercenaries from the Umbrella Company.

Ram had quick eyesight and quick hands. As soon as the rebel raised the long knife, he was shot down by Ram.

At a distance of 300 meters, the mechanical aiming has lost its effect and relies entirely on gun feel.

The gun sense is a very magical thing that is difficult to describe in words. It is just like a woman's sixth sense, mysterious and unpredictable.

At this time, two Renault tanks provided by the People's Guard started roaring into action.

The total combat weight of the Renault tank is only 7 tons, the maximum speed is 10 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 39 kilometers.

Ram and Soma kept up with them. Although the height of the Renault tank is 2.29 meters, that is the height of the turret. The height of the tracks on both sides is only a pitiful 1.5 meters. The width of the Renault is only 1.75 meters. There are three soldiers side by side.

If you leave, you have to expose one, and the protection provided is really limited.

But it's better than nothing.

The tank driver driving the Renault is also very coquettish. He fires guns while walking. Rather than hoping to cause damage to the enemy, it is more to embolden himself.

Renault simply has no ability to shoot while on the move.

Ram closely followed the track on Renault's side. He was wearing a steel helmet, with only his two eyes exposed. He always held the rifle in his hand, ready to fire at any time.

A Spanish aunt suddenly appeared in the ruins nearby.

The aunt probably thought that the sound of the tank's engine disturbed her clear dream, so she stood on the ruins and jumped up and cursed.

It's amazing that there are still people staying in the ancient city of Toledo at this time. Sure enough, there are people everywhere who are not afraid of death.

Ram ignored Auntie and focused on the castle getting closer and closer.

It can be seen that the castle is quite majestic. The four-story tower must be more than 50 meters high. The windows have been transformed into shooting holes by the defenders and tightly blocked with sandbags. This operation is not very professional. Sandbags can help the defenders.

While the army provides cover, it will also block the defender's sight. Ram's target is the moat. As long as he crosses the moat, it will be a blind spot for the defender's shooting range.

More than two months of attacks by the People's Guard have yielded results; at least the moat has been filled.

Just when Ram was about to reach the moat, the Renault tank was hit by the defender's anti-tank rifle. The tankman tried to retreat in a hurry, almost running over Ram who was following the tank.

Yes, the castle defenders did not have anti-tank guns, but they had anti-tank rifles.

Anti-tank rifles also have a long history and appeared in the last world war.

Anti-tank rifles are mainly aimed at small tanks like Renault that do not have heavy armor.

For the latest "Tiger" and "Leopard" in service in southern Africa, anti-tank rifles have no effect.

The anti-tank idea in southern Africa is to use tanks to fight tanks. This is originally the idea of ​​the Royal Navy, and it is not inconsistent with the army.

Of course, if you lack tanks, you can also use direct-fire guns and rocket launchers.

Renault was hit by an anti-tank rifle, and the mercenary's attack formation was instantly thrown into chaos.

Ram did not hesitate and jumped directly into a nearby ruins, using the ruins as a cover to keep moving closer to the castle!

The defenders noticed Ram and kept shooting at Ram. The bullets hit the wall next to Ram, and the splashed gravel scratched Ram's cheek.

Ram did not fight back and used the cover of the ruins to move quickly.

The shooting skills of the defenders were indeed poor, but Ram successfully reached the bottom of the castle.

From Ram's position, through the castle wall, Ram could even hear the exclamations of the defenders inside the castle.

Ram opened the three-day backpack he carried with him, took out the explosive package prepared in advance, placed it, and ignited it in one go. Ram turned around and ran away.

boom--

The last wall collapsed suddenly, and Ram's figure was engulfed in smoke and dust.

Di——

The officer blew the whistle, and the mercenaries left the bunker and launched a collective charge towards the castle.

It was not yet nine o'clock at this time.

Just like this, the People's Guard has been fighting for more than two months?
