Six Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Four Smoke

Ethiopia.

Tigray Province, the capital Makale defense line.

In front of the sandbags and trenches, there are barricades formed by wooden horse posts connected with iron wires. This defensive method during World War I was used by indigenous peoples in Ethiopia on the battlefield.

It's just that in front of the tanks on the opposite side, these obstacles are useless to the enemy except for creating obstacles for their own cavalry.

It was not the wood and wire that stopped the Italian army, but the strap-on grenades used by the opponent to blow up the tanks, and the Colt and Browning heavy machine guns mounted on the sandcastles.

There are also brand-new machine guns in the hands of the enemy, and looking through the binoculars, General De Beaujou sees ammunition boxes, supplies, troops and logistics all over the front.

"Where did these weapons come from? Why did they dig trenches and build sand castles in just three days? What's going on?"

Putting down the binoculars, De Boruo still decided to order an attack. They had no time to delay. Undeclared war was morally untenable. Once the delay continued, public opinion and the morale of the army would suffer. The two paths converge.

"Let the thirty-sixth mechanical unit attack. Tonight I will hold a party in the Lord's Mansion. Every soldier can take away the girl he likes."

Deborah used wine and women to boost morale. This method that has lasted for thousands of years has never disappointed. There was a clamor of cheers from behind.

The tank starts, and the motorcycle drives forward first, responsible for exploring and guiding, and observing the enemy's movements. The infantry hides on the sides and behind the tank, waiting to get close to the firing range.

Rumble——

The tank emitting black smoke is now a ferocious steel monster, about to rush forward and tear apart the enemy's resistance, making them cry and beg in despair.

Take their wealth, women, slaves, everything in this land is theirs.

The Italian army showed a cruel smile, pressing forward with excitement and attacking.

The main gun of the tank started to play, shells fell from the sky one after another, and it was not a problem for solid shells to be used to attack the city.

But when used to attack the soldiers hiding in the trenches, it is like an elephant slapping ants, except for a few unlucky ones, there is no harm, and the momentum is quite scary.

But what they don't know is that the Egyptian army's determination and the price they are willing to pay are even more terrifying than they imagined.

"What are they going to do, someone rushed out." When there were still a hundred meters away, someone suddenly rushed out from the trench.

The skinny black man was only wrapped in gray-yellow rags around his crotch, with his hands in his arms, and ran towards them like crazy.

"Shoot, shoot, don't let them get close." The commander felt uneasy, and immediately ordered to shoot.

Da da da--

The heavy machine gun was like a roaring fire dragon, and Browning on the defense line showed its power. The bullets were pouring down like rain, and no one dared to take the lead.

The first naked black man rushed to the front of the tank, turned his head and went down, and the things he held in his arms were exposed to the air.

Self-made cluster bundled grenade, without any hesitation,

The Negro pulled the fuse and placed the bundled cluster rounds on the tank's tracks.

Boom, boom——

A series of explosions sounded, and the tracks of the tanks that were moving forward broke and fell off, except for a few vehicles that hadn't come up yet.

The scrapped tank was emitting black smoke, and no matter how the driver operated it, it would not move at all.

"Stop the tank." Looking at the scrapped tanks forming a barrier, the commander gave the order with a livid face.

Although the tanks in front formed an obstacle, they also provided steel bunkers for the Italian army. The distance between the two sides was only 80 meters, and it was up to them to see if they could rush over.

"Destroy their firepower and prepare to charge!" De Boruo personally gave the order to attack.

"Attack..." The grenades fell forward like dumplings, most of them didn't fall into the trench, only a few fell inside, and the flesh and blood were blown up.

At the moment when the explosion was accompanied by gunpowder smoke, the Italian army rushed out from behind the scrapped tank and went straight to the trench.

Da da da--

Flying bullet nets, severed limbs, the sound of bullets piercing the body, the painful wailing and pleading for help before dying, and the fighting up and down the trench, there was chaos everywhere.

Switzerland.

Geneva, Palais des Nations.

On the second day after Italy launched the war, that is, on October 7, the League of Nations announced that Italy was an aggressor country and would impose material and economic sanctions on it.

All countries agreed to announce their support for the sanctions plan, but oil, a strategic material that Italy urgently needs, was not included in the plan, and Britain and France still opened the Suez Canal to Italy.

This was an undisguised conspiracy. France wanted to win over Italy to fight against Germany. Britain itself did not want to risk a war with Italy. It believed that Ethiopia could satisfy Mussolini's ambition and appetite, and secretly expressed its acquiescence to his aggression.

The League of Nations is a ridiculous tragedy. Those who are capable are pretending to be stupid, but those who really want to do something for peace are incapable, running back and forth and being kicked around like a football.

During the five-day meeting, Mary left on the third day, when the Italian army tore through the Egyptian border defenses.

On the plane, Mary heard her husband's evaluation of the League of Nations, "a useless puppet institution, a place where Britain and France check and balance the balance of countries and maintain their own status."

Mary had been disappointed before, but never so completely hopeless as this time.

War in Europe is inevitable. Germany's political cleansing, armament expansion, frequent troop mobilization and frenzied testing will become the next trigger.

Li Zitao received the news that Mary was coming back when she boarded the plane, and he was visiting the helicopter and Universiade in Skunk when he received the call.

SH-1a, armed helicopter, S stands for skunk, guns can be installed in the cabin, and the maximum range is 1200 kilometers.

There is an extended steel pipe style barrel at the lower right of the front end of the nose, and a 0.50 caliber heavy machine gun, which is specially designed for SH-1.

Some jokingly called it the 'Longinus gun. '

Just to solve the problem of lengthening the barrel, the skunk and the automatic weapon research laboratory spent nearly half a year to solve it.

SH-1b, heavy transport aircraft, enhanced armor and flight height, power and fuel reserves, 0.30 caliber heavy machine guns can be erected on both sides of the cabin, and the maximum range is 1500 kilometers.

The technology of the two lucky ones is roughly the same, both are twin-rotors, twin-engine power, and the cruising speed can reach up to 205 kilometers per hour.

When the SH-1a is fully loaded, it can take 5 people together with the driver, and 7 people can take it with the weapons and load removed.

SH-1b is fully loaded with the driver, the number of passengers is 8, and the weapons and loads are removed, and the maximum number of passengers is 11.

The aircraft is also equipped with the latest radar system, and the seat armor surrounding the cockpit is strengthened, taking into account factors such as anti-falling.

But to be honest, this thing is not safe at all. During the 13 tests, there were 5 forced landings caused by weather factors, which were absolutely thrilling.
