Merida, the full name of "the most noble, ancient and loyal City Merida", is the seat of the capital of the autonomous region of Estremadura, Spain. It is one of the most beautiful ancient Roman cities in Spain. This city was built by the original Romans on its strategic road.

Now Merida is still on the main traffic road. It is the east gate of badajos and an important hub for transportation with Madrid.

Now, there are only a thousand Republican troops guarding Merida.

Originally, the city was guarded by an international column. When badahos was in an emergency, the international column rushed to help badahos. Only the local garrison remained here.

Spanish soldiers concentrated in the north and south directions outside the city. They built trenches. Although the battle here has not started yet, it can be imagined that once badahos falls, the rebels will think of Merida gathering!

Although the atmosphere of the preparation for the war is still very warm, some Spanish citizens are also mobilized and dug up trenches. They take off their jackets, wear only their vests and shovel their spades.

"This way, we have to reinforce it!" Company commander Cervantes shouted, "it must be reinforced with logs to resist the bombing! Now, I can't even guard against a grenade! "

The fierce battle over badahos made Cervantes very worried. He knew that there was not much time left for his own side.

Moreover, if badahos can't keep it, the 1000 people on our side can't keep the current place! The end is also obvious. They may all die here!

This is the cruel damn war!

Just then, there was a buzzing sound in the distance. He raised his head and took a look. Cervantes shouted, "come on, hide, the bomber of the vulture army!"

Some time ago, the bombers of the vulture regiment destroyed the nearby air force base, and dozens of fighters were destroyed. Later, in the retaliation action, another batch of bombers and fighters in Madrid were killed.

This loss really hurt the muscles and bones. Before the arrival of the next batch of supporting fighters, the Republican Army was seriously short of fighters. Therefore, the air control now was almost handed over to the Condor Corps.

Looking at the planes from the south, Cervantes knew that the situation was bad. He greeted his men and immediately avoided air defense!

Avoid those planes!

At this time, it's closer. Those biplane planes are the common he51 before. Why haven't you seen those single wing planes?

This way, there was a panic.

Many soldiers took up arms only after the outbreak of the civil war, and citizens came to work voluntarily. They were not prepared at all.

"Come on, run!" Several citizens threw shovel and covered with confusion.

"Lie down, lie down!" A Republican soldier shouted. He ran quickly to press the citizens to the ground. Behind him, there was a terrible scream.

The sound of those single winged bombers when they dive is very frightening!

Hearing the terrible voice behind him, even some soldiers of the Republican Army lost their reason and stood up and wanted to retreat.

It's horrible!

"Boom!" The Stuka bomber dropped the bomb and accurately dropped it on the air defense fortification just set up in the trench. In an instant, the whole air defense fortification was blown up, and a big pit with a diameter of one meter was blown out on the ground!

The fragments of the bomb were flying. Those citizens who were just running were lifted up by the explosion, and then they felt the pain in their back.

Blood, flowing out. They screamed and rolled on the ground. They were lucky compared with those who couldn't speak.

"Dada dada." Not far away, on an anti-aircraft machine gun position, angry Republican soldiers raised their machine guns and fired fiercely into the sky!

"Go to hell, bastards of the vulture army!" The soldier who operated the machine gun shouted and kept pulling the trigger. The yellow and orange cartridge case came out of the other end of the machine gun and scattered nearby.

"Boom!" Obviously, the machine gun position here was noticed by the aircraft in the air. A Stuka bomber swooped down and a small bomb on one side of the wing dropped it.

The body of the machine gunner flew, and the anti-aircraft machine gun tilted aside.

There was a sea of fire everywhere on the whole position, which was simply a human hell!

The monoplane flew by, the biplane flew in, and continued to drop the bomb. The whole position was like being ploughed.

"Is there anyone alive?" He threw himself on the earth above his head and got up from the trench. Cervantes shouted, this scene makes him very sad. Is he the only one who survived?

"Almost died." An old soldier, Youzi, came out of the trench: "these people's bombs must be too high!"

"Without antiaircraft guns, antiaircraft guns can do them!" One voice after another sounded constantly.

No, the whole army is destroyed. There are still more than 100 people left! Cervantes looked at these standing people, many of whom were veterans. The first bombing brought down a large area of recruits.

Sitting heavily back in the trench, Cervantes took out his cigarette, lit it and took a hard breath. When nicotine entered his lungs, he felt incomparable satisfaction.

After a bombing, one's own position is shaky. After the bombing, the other party will come up!

Those rebel bastards, those noodle army bastards, when I finish smoking this cigarette, I'll have a big fight with you!

But aren't the rebels besieging badahos? Why are you here? It's really strange.

Just then, he felt the slight tremor of the ground.

What's going on?

"Oh, God, what's that?" Other soldiers were smoking, too. One soldier leaned out and saw the dust on the horizon in the distance. Suddenly, he exclaimed.

What's that?

Visible to the naked eye, those speeding over are tanks! Those tanks are much larger than Italian tanks! At this time, those tanks are advancing in battle formation, their tails are emitting black smoke, the engine is working, their tracks are turning, and they are invincible!

The high barrel, thick and long! That must be at least 50mm thick! In this era, what kind of tank can have such terrible firepower?

The tanks of the noodle army only have machine guns. Even the guns are only 37 mm at most!

In front of these huge monsters, they have exceeded their imagination. The veteran who are not afraid in front of the bomber have realized that what they encounter is a more difficult and terrible monster!
