Historically, the Soviet Union sent T-26 tanks to participate in the Spanish Civil War, which could easily penetrate various German and Italian tanks when faced head-on on the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, at that time, Germany only had tank No. I as the main force, and this tank was also designed on the basis of the "Vickers" tank, but tank No. I was based on machine gun firepower, which must not be compared with the T-26 with a 45-mm tank gun!

The firepower of the T-26 was not only significantly higher than that of the I., but also surpassed the II, reaching or even exceeding the level of the 38t and the early III.

The first attack of the Italian army, which was thus repulsed, established itself on the battlefield with an easy victory, and if this tank was withdrawn like this, it would have been an absolute victory.

Unfortunately, in the face of a one-sided battle, the Soviet fighters were obviously also very excited, and they continued to use their tanks, wanting to take this opportunity to break through the opponent's position.

"Resist, resist!" Watching the Noodle Army retreat one after another, Jose, the commander of the New Central Army, loudly scolded his troops.

Originally, he thought that victory was in sight, so he would come up to observe and personally direct the battle, but when he saw the Noodle Army retreating, he knew that if this continued, the retreat would evolve into a complete defeat.

This is absolutely intolerable to him, you can see that hundreds of Italians are retreating, and now, if his central army also retreats, the furious General Franco will definitely remove him!

Can't be returned, can't be returned!

José stood on the position, holding his pistol: "Overseer, if anyone retreats, kill him immediately!" Anti-tank guns, get ready for me! ”

Anti-tank guns! Jose is also confident that he can hold on until now, just a few days ago, through his good relationship with Ciric, he finally got a batch of anti-tank guns for his Central Army!

There are not many of them, only 20 of them, and they are the latest PAK35 37mm anti-tank guns shipped from Germany!

This anti-tank gun was quite famous throughout World War II, and Germany produced more than 20,000 units, which was the main anti-tank equipment of the German army in World War II.

The biggest feature of this gun is that it is lightweight, as a light artillery, the total combat weight is only 432kg, and the gun runs on two large wheels equipped with pneumatic tires, even if it is not towed by a car, it is not difficult to operate the gun only by relying on the gunner's squad manpower.

Now, the anti-tank guns were quickly pushed up, and as soldiers of the National Army, their will to fight was a little stronger than that of the Italians.

On the opposite side, the tanks were rumbling on the ground, and it was obvious that the Soviet tank crews were planning to completely repel the enemy on the opposite side in one go.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated, they did not know at all that it was a great risk for a tank to break through the enemy position without the accompaniment of the infantry.

Moreover, one of the biggest drawbacks of the T-26 tank is that its protection is too weak, although it has a 45 mm gun, which is enough to lead the era, but its armor is only 15 mm!

Now, stimulated by the victory just now, the Soviet tankmen wanted to completely crush the enemy with a few of their tanks!

Opening the gun door and stuffing in 37 mm shells, the Spanish gunners, barely suppressing their inner tension, watched the opposite tank get closer and closer, and then pulled the gun rope fiercely.

"Boom!" The light anti-tank gun, at this moment even bounced, and at the same time, 37-mm shells, flew to the opposite side!

Didn't hit!

The tanks on the opposite side are still rumbling up!

What to do? What to do?

Keep loading!

They were scrambling to reload the shells, and if it weren't for the Warlords behind them, they would have run away!

The second shell, stuffed into the chamber, and then, again, the gunner aimed at the tank in front, and by this time, the opponent had already rushed to a distance of 150 meters!

"Boom!" The anti-tank gun continued to roar, and at such a close distance, the anti-tank gun, which almost shot straight past, had no possibility of missing at all!

The T-26 that came up on the head shook violently, and then there was a loud bang.

At the junction between the turret and the hull, flames accompanied by black smoke came out, and the ammunition inside exploded! Then, the turret and hull were separated and thrown aside.

It worked!

Seeing that the ferocious T-26 had just been destroyed, the gunners of the anti-tank guns were inspired and no longer afraid, they continued to reload, shooting!

The battle went on quickly, and after a minute, the opposite T-26 tanks retreated, leaving behind three burning tanks, and retreated.

"Victory, victory!" The soldiers of the anti-tank guns could not help but shout.

Won?

Looking at everything on the battlefield, José couldn't be happy in any way.

You're attacking! As a result, the position was not broken by the enemy, which can be considered a victory?

At most, it was a draw, but, to explain, the reason for the defeat was the retreat of these Italians!

That night, Franco urgently convened a military meeting.

"Our battle, it's not going well, we have to be fast, we have to take Madrid at all costs!" Originally, Franco said, he had set the goal for the Central Army to capture the Parque de la Pastoral today, to force the crossing of the Manzanares River tomorrow, and to capture the university town within a week.

But now, among other things, the Central Army alone is too disappointing!

"The main thing is that our allies are too weak." "As soon as the Soviets' tanks came up, they retreated," José said. ”

Jose's words instantly made the Italian generals present blush, and before they could say anything, Franco spoke: "José, what are you talking about?" Don't make excuses for your own failures, you idiot! ”

Franco was actually furious? Angry at yourself? In an instant, José felt a stomach full of grievances, was it that the Italians were too weak?

"It was us who did not expect that there would be tank units in Madrid." General Mora spoke: "The fire of the T-26 tank is too fierce for us to parry, if only our German friends could come up." ”

General Mora's words made everyone feel the same way, today, they were blinded by the small tanks of the Soviets! If there are German Panther 2 tanks, it will definitely be able to greatly reduce the frontal pressure, and those who feel the pressure will become the international column on the opposite side!

German friends? Jose suddenly reacted, the Italians are also friends and are here to help, Franco will never say that people are not effective in fighting, otherwise, what if they lead the team to run?

Therefore, you can only put the responsibility on your own side!

Damn it, these noodle troops, with fifty percent of the combat power of the Condor Legion, wouldn't be like this! José was immensely emotional.
