Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Those who attacked the Guards were a group of Falangists. They were not even regular troops. They were militiamen just like the People's Guard.

As mentioned before, not all militias are called National Guards. The combat effectiveness of the Spanish militia is not even as good as that of the Boer Allied Forces during the Second Boer War.

The armored vehicles equipped by the Alvin Guard have a total combat weight of up to 9.5 tons, a frontal armor thickness of 1.5 centimeters, and sloped armor. A layer of reactive armor is installed on the outside of the vehicle body, which cannot be penetrated by armor-piercing bullets.

If the Falangists wanted to penetrate the Alligator's armor, it would be impossible unless they used anti-tank rifles.

This group of Falangists were all equipped with Mauser rifles. The only heavy machine gun was the Maxim from World War I. Its performance was not even as good as a general-purpose machine gun using a bipod.

The Alvin Guards are not only equipped with "Alligators", but also the high-level dual-purpose machine guns that showed off their power just now.

As the name suggests, the dual-purpose high-level and low-level machine gun can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun or a flat-level machine gun.

This thing has a 20mm caliber and can be used as a cannon when installed on an airplane.

So when the 12.7mm machine gun fires, the thunder is louder than the raindrops.

After firing a 20mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun, not to mention trees and rocks can be smashed for you.

The Falangists hiding in the woods were in bad luck.

The Falangists were not only backward in weapons, but also in tactics. They still used volley tactics from the early days of the last world war.

Volleyball tactics rely on quantity to make up for the shortcomings caused by lack of precision, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

This requires soldiers to line up in dense formations as much as possible in order to effectively improve the effectiveness of gun volley tactics.

So when the machine guns and cannons opened fire at the same time, the forest was really filled with blood and flesh and it was like hell.

Tom Tom Tom

The addition of automatic grenade launchers brought disaster to the Falangists in the woods.

This is not an adjective, but a practical description, because the 40mm grenade really exploded on the heads of the Falangists. The huge rocks may be able to block the penetration of 12.7mm bullets and 20mm warheads, but they cannot block the pervasive shrapnel.

The battle broke out suddenly.

It ends more quickly.

After the 40mm grenade was added, not a single bullet chain was fired, and the woods returned to calm.

It can't be said to be peaceful. There were wounded soldiers asking for help and unconscious cries of death. The special service team members were not even interested in getting out of the car to clean the battlefield. After the fight, they turned around and walked away.

Alvin can go to Valencia, but Colonel Kelson cannot leave.

Pavlov was a very stubborn person, he was arrogant, willful and could not listen to any voice.

Pavlov had a bad attitude towards the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. He insisted on sending the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to snipe the Italian Third Army, leading the Italian Third Army into the ambush circle set up by the International Column and the People's Guard, and then annihilating them.

.

Good tactics.

However, they did not consider whether the light infantry of the Umbrella Company could compete with the armored forces of the Italian Third Army.

Colonel Kelsen did not want to see his mercenaries die and refused to carry out Pavlov's orders.

"Colonel Kelsen, this is the decision of the republican government, and you have no right to refuse." The liaison officer sent by the republican government, Sheridan, had a tough attitude. He was a Russian and a member of the Comintern.

"No, I have the right to refuse any unreasonable orders. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are not slaves of the Republican government." Colonel Kelson's attitude was equally tough. At worst, they broke up and the Umbrella Company no longer accepted orders from the Spanish Republican government.

Hire.

"As mercenaries, you should accept the command of the republican government." Sheridan did not expect Colonel Kelson to be so tough. He could only say that the Spanish republican government and the umbrella have different positions for mercenaries.

To the republican government, the war hyenas of Umbrella Corporation are nothing more than cannon fodder.

For Umbrella, mercenaries are valuable assets to the Umbrella company.

Colonel Kelsen would definitely not refuse a general combat mission, such as conquering Toledo Castle. After all, he would use people's money to eliminate disasters.

Colonel Kelsen would definitely not accept an almost fatal mission like fighting against the Italian Third Army.

"It's okay to let the protective umbrella take on this task, but the ability of the protective umbrella must be strengthened, such as the T26 tank." Colonel Kelsen offered the condition that if he had a T26, the mercenaries would also be able to fight.

"Haha, do the mercenaries of Umbrella Company have the ability to operate tanks?" What Sheridan said surprised Colonel Kelson.

Not to mention T26, even the "Puss Trooper", many mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are capable of operating it.

Tank operation is actually not complicated, just like a tractor. The difficult thing is how to maximize the performance of the tank.

This is exactly the strength of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. Many of the mercenaries are even retired tankers from the Southern African Defense Force. It is not difficult for them to operate the T26 at all.

"Oh, in your eyes, are the mercenaries of Umbrella Company all rednecks? The weapons our Umbrella Company has are no worse than yours, and are even more advanced." Colonel Kelson laughed, the Spanish Republican Government

Here, T26, Yi-15, those junk from the Navy don't even deserve a name.

The Umbrella Company also has tanks. Although they are "Light Cavalry" that have been retired by the Southern African military, their performance is actually not much worse than that of the "Hussars".

The Umbrella Company has aircraft, frigates, and even armed helicopters, and is far more powerful than the Spanish Civil Guard.

"If you refuse to carry out the order, the republican government will terminate the cooperation agreement with your protective umbrella." Sheridan became angry, and this was his last trump card.

"Please do it," Colonel Kelson sneered. If the Republican government dared to tear up the agreement with Umbrella, Umbrella might turn around and go find Franco.

Regarding tearing up the agreement, the federal government of Southern Africa is concerned about the international impact and should not go too far and must exercise restraint.

Umbrella is a commercial company, and War Hyenas have already gained a bad reputation. No matter how bad the reputation is, how bad can it be?

It was originally a quarrel between Umbrella and the Republican government. After Pavlov found out about it, he identified Umbrella Company as the fifth column on the grounds that Umbrella Company was disobedient, and wanted to mobilize troops to annihilate the mercenaries of Umbrella Company.

When Colonel Kelsen learned about the situation, he was furious. Franco had not yet reached Madrid, but the republican government started fighting first. It would be crazy if the civil war could be won.

Regardless of the quarrel between the Umbrella and the Republican government, Alvin has now arrived in Valencia.

Valencia is a beautiful city, the "Sunshine City" of Europe, known as "a pearl on the west coast of the Mediterranean". It has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and is a famous tourist destination in Spain.

The palace of Alfonso XIII is located near Benidorm. The coastline here is flat and straight, and the long beach sparkles with white gravel. It is called the "White Coast" and attracts countless people to come for vacation every summer.

.

The convoy caused a sensation when it arrived in Benidorm. Valencians had never seen so many armored vehicles. There had never been such a big scene when the Prime Minister traveled. The republican government was also alarmed.

"Umbrella? Are you the ones who protect the umbrella?" Captain Louis of the People's Guard was surprised. It was equipped with an armored vehicle and an anti-aircraft machine gun, which completely subverted Louis's understanding of mercenaries.

In Lewis's concept, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are just a bunch of poor people. Not to mention armored vehicles, they even have to save their rifles and bullets.

Needless to say, these are powerful men who appeared out of nowhere. These mercenaries in front of them have nothing to do with the Spanish Republican Government.

"Yes, we accept Lord Beihai's employment and are responsible for protecting Lord Beihai's safety." Li Yan had a bad feeling in his heart, and the situation was gradually getting out of Li Yan's control.

"Oh oh oh, which Lord Beihai is Lord Beihai?" Louis thought for a long time, but couldn't remember which Lord Beihai it was.

There are really too many nobles in Europe.

Although Spain has overthrown the monarchy, the aristocracy still has huge wealth, there are royalists in the republican government, and many high-ranking ministers are from aristocratic families.

"Lord Beihai of the British Empire." Li Yan did not mention southern Africa, Alvin was canonized by the British King.

"Why is Lord North Sea of ​​the British Empire in Valencia?" Louis said with a cold face. Britain responded to the League of Nations' call to blockade the republican government. Louis was very dissatisfied with the British government and lost due respect for the British nobility.

"I am the commander of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. Is it strange to appear in Valencia?" Alvin finally appeared. He was wearing the uniform of a senior commander of the Umbrella Company, which was similar in style to the uniform of a southern African general.

"Honorable Lord Beihai, good morning" Louis still greeted Alvin according to etiquette.

"Good morning to you too. I have a question for you, the Prime Minister. Why do you let the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company accept the command of that idiot Pavlov? Don't you want to defend Madrid?" Alvin was not polite and was aggressive from the beginning.

.

"Sorry, noble Lord Beihai, this is not something I can decide." Louis felt aggrieved. This had nothing to do with him.

"Help me make an appointment with the Prime Minister. I want to have a good talk with him." Alvin took full control of the initiative. The performance of the republican government during this period made Alvin very disappointed.

If the republican government had not gone back on its word again and again, the situation would not have deteriorated to the extent it has now.

Some people in the republican government chose to accept Russian aid out of their own private interests, and Caballero must have known this.

If the performance of Russian weapons and equipment is excellent, then Alvin has nothing to say.

But in fact, the performance of Russian weapons and equipment is far less than what some people have touted, which gives Alvin room for maneuver.
