Chapter 27 Continuous Assault
With Li Erganzi's character, once the combat operation begins, it is often like a machine. Only with sufficient energy can it continue to operate.
When the first wave of rotor attack aircraft was attacked by low altitudes, Madrid's city defense headquarters, radar stations, power plant steam turbines and pilots' dormitories.
When these places were listed as the most important project in the first wave of attacks, the second wave of aerial strikes arrived under the attack of 210mm heavy artillery shells carried by the rotor attack aircraft, and turned into a pile of ruins.
Most of this wave was composed of combat agencies, and the first wave of "meteor-type" medium-sized bombers from the remaining troops also arrived.
There are no guided bombs this time. As for the logistics minister of Thunder International, it is more cost-effective to use old-fashioned bombs.
At this time, the pointer of time has reached 2:35 am.
On the streets of Madrid, cars were running back and forth, and the wounded were already crowded with all the hospitals.
"No one could have thought that the attack from Thunder International was so ruthless! They only arrived for such a intensive attack, could they..."
Madrid was once besieged, but Madrid has never been hit like this, regardless of Germany, Italy, Franco's air force.
Almost in an instant, the air defense forces suffered a heavy blow and completely lost their combat capabilities. Then the power plants, airports, command centers and other places all turned into rubble in the fire.
The raid has been around for nearly two hours now, but as the prime minister of the Republic, Ibaluli still has not received a comprehensive report of damage. Without detailed information, she had to look at Madrid, and was saddened by the explosion of the sky.
When bombers and fighters loaded with old-fashioned bombs flew to the defense line outside Madrid's city, it seemed that the war had really begun.
Groups of bombs fell from the sky, and the continuous roars shook Madrid from the direction of the front line. Not only did it shock the city, but everyone in the city was also worried about this shock.
At night, the huge "Watch Tower" reconnaissance/command the airship approached the city. According to the situations detected during the reconnaissance operations in the previous three days, the air team carried out intensive attacks.
For example, some permanent bunkers have been specially treated by the Meteor-z bombers that perform "precision bombing".
The short-range gliding bombs with simple cameras that were thrown from high altitudes, using radio guidance, bombarded the bunkers directly into the sky.
You should know that these short-range gliding bombs, which are modified with the old 380mm shells, have average accuracy. However, the 800-kilogram armor-piercing bombs dropped from a height of 3,000 meters will be scary.
Just like the defenders in the Belgian Liege Fortress who were specially cared for by German airships in World War I, even if the heavy armor-piercing bombs landed at a distance of 20 to 30 meters nearby, the violent explosion also made the bunkers shaking like small boats in the sea.
There were not many bombs that were precisely bombed, but they still caused huge damage to the camps and heavy artillery. Among the bombs that fell like raindrops, there were also evil bullet thunders arranged in Spanish barracks.
This vicious little landmine fell down in pieces from the "basket" in the air, and the small rotors made them spin and scatter.
When they fell on the barracks, they immediately made a "bang bang bang" sound, just like hail the size of an apple in the sky.
Those who had long abandoned God for faith were buried under the bed and called on the name of their Father in heaven. It seemed that the Bolshevik faith given to them by the Red Soviet Union was no longer as good as the call from God.
What is funny is that although the mercenaries of Thunder International have their own different beliefs, they probably have a question of confidence in themselves, and no one calls for them.
Although sometimes, the planes hit the ground, they were stretched out to the wings under fire. They rushed to the ground until they were hit by the hard ground into a bright ball of fire.
The skydiving pilot will be more reasonable than the person who came to catch him.
"We are mercenaries of Thunder International, and we do not enjoy the protection of the Hague Convention! But if I am hurt, then my teammates will take revenge on everyone who hurt me!"
This is the "proof of rights" document given to the officers who escorted them by the captured pilots, and they will also explain it to those who escorted them.
The soldiers and officers of the Spanish Republican Army understood this very well. When the army was hired by the League of Nations to patrol here, they took bloody revenge on the individuals and families who hurt them because of such a thing.
From the officers who issued the order to the soldiers who carried out the order, including their families, they were all removed by the soldiers of Thunder International.
If these are troops from a certain country or you can protest, but these guys are all bloodthirsty mercenaries, can you still expect them to have any mercy!
"Of course, we know what kind of guys are in Thunder International. Let's go, my good sir. We just want you to taste our prison rice, whether it's your appetite!"
The soldiers of the Spanish Republican Army did not hurt these pilots who had just jumped, and at most they would make a few jokes. The terrified pilot also said a joke or two without any fun, indicating that everyone is just responsible.
"Ah, to be honest, Thunder International's military rations are managed by that miser (Yan Xishan), which has long made us want to change our taste. Please stay for a while, and we can eat more days!"
As mentioned earlier, in Thunder International, in addition to the non-commissioned officers of the Chinese Federation, they are those overseas people who intend to join the Chinese Federation. Look at the captured crew, their skin colors are really diverse, and they all have all colors.
Unfortunately, beyond the hope of these Spanish Republican prison chefs, the real attack began at 4 a.m.
The air attack ahead ended, but only 25 minutes. Hundreds of people working on the "Wanglou" in the sky once again guided the follow-up aircraft to fly towards the Madrid outer defense line.
The 25-minute pause allowed the surviving Spanish Republican soldiers to emerge from the shelter. Taking advantage of the precious time, rescue the dead and restore those lost air defense artillery.
Some sentries also appeared in the original sentry with telescopes. They held the telescopes, but looked at nothing, but chatted softly.
"I won't be bombed again tonight, these miscellaneous things have almost never stopped since 0 o'clock."
On the small plain that had been determined as the airborne field by Li Erganzi, the sentry gradually became sleepy in the silence after extreme fear. Although they stepped on their feet from time to time, they tried hard to open their eyes in the unwarming wind near the mountains in April.
“Woo…”
"Look, what is that!"
"What……"
As the sentry shouted, a small whistling sounded from the ravine. Then, like countless black hornets from hell, swarms of razor rotor attack aircraft appeared on the airborne field.
The sentry's answer was not completed yet, and the rocket and the celestial girl scattered flowers bloomed on the ground.
In the smoke and soil that exploded, and in the explosion and fire, you can occasionally see a series of razor rotor attack aircraft passing through all directions.
“Air raid…”
The responsible officer shouted loudly and ran to the nearest anti-aircraft hole. Perhaps in his intuition, when facing Thunder International's attack, the best thing is to squeeze with his brothers.
The Spanish Republican soldiers were arched in places that seemed safe, especially those camps, and were even more crowded.

Even at this time, it is impossible to send a commander to tell the situation on the front line that the rear has no idea what to do.
On the airborne field, there was another fierce air strike for 25 minutes.
When the Spanish Republican army was still gritting their teeth and guessing how long the air attack would stop, the sudden explosion disappeared. The air strike stopped suddenly, just like when it came.
The soldiers who were nervous just now looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that they had survived in such a violent air raid.
At this time, a stream of tear gas coming from the limelight appeared on the position under the gentle mountain wind.
God knows what is added to these smoke. They float slowly and are not so easily blown away. They flow down to all the low places like running water, driven by the breeze.
"My God, is this poisonous gas?"
The soldiers in the camp cave were gasping for breath, tears and snot flowing down in the irritating smoke.
"I'm going out. I'd rather be killed by an air strike outside than suffer again!"
The officer just now coughed and muttered this sentence in his heart. He hugged and crawled out of the half-collapsed garrison hole, but almost at the same time he started screaming.
"Come on...Cough on...He...God..."
You can see the blurry tearful eyes of the smoke bomb. The little demons who were still spraying rockets and bullets were falling from the sky in a group.
Their landing was as fast and dangerous as some stones thrown down. As they approached the ground, some dark shadows jumped off them.
Immediately afterwards, the little demon's rotor sounded louder and it flew towards the sky again.
The figure jumped down bent down and moved quickly, running quickly towards the weapons and anti-aircraft holes on the position.
"quick……"
