Speaking of German friends, almost all eyes were on Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

General Ciric still did not come, and now it was Richthofen who attended every time.

Hearing the request of these people, Richthofen shook his head: "Our tanks are still being repaired, the last accident left our tanks lying on their stomachs, and now, we are waiting for spare parts from Berlin." ”

and other accessories! When was it shipped from Berlin? It's been a month! By then, it's been 37 years!

It seems that the Germans could not be counted on in this battle!

It's a tickle for your teeth!

"We, General Ciric, are also quite anxious now, but the accessories are too heavy, the plane is not suitable, and we still have a large amount of funds in place, so we can only take the sea route."

Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen spoke slowly, and he continued: "However, we, General Cirek, have a proposal. ”

Ciric has a proposal? Hearing his words, everyone was shocked, as long as they studied the process of Ciric's rise, they could find that this guy almost never had a defeat, and every one of his inferences was quite correct.

Now, although Ciric did not attend and was represented by Richthofen, his proposal could not but be taken seriously.

Even Franco excitedly asked, "Tell me, what does he propose?" ”

"Give up attacking Madrid, first take down the surrounding areas, and make Madrid an isolated city, only in this way can we cut off all reinforcements from Madrid, cut off the supply of the Republican army, including the international column, so that Madrid can be taken."

Suddenly, Franco's face changed.

The national army started its offensive from the west, advanced eastward, and by now had taken control of the territory of the western part of the country, with Madrid as the dividing line between the north and the south, and all the routes of advance were around Madrid.

After all, Madrid is the capital, and as long as Madrid is defeated, it will be able to change this rebellion into orthodoxy, and although Franco has proclaimed himself the head of state of Spain, he is still not recognized by the public.

Franco attaches great importance to Madrid, just like an emperor who wants to ascend the throne, there is only one step left before the dragon chair, no matter how difficult this step is, he must take it! At this time, in his eyes, there was only the dragon chair and nothing else.

So, Franco is unacceptable.

Even Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen continued to explain his reasoning: "On the opposite side of us, there is not only the National Army, but also the international column, and the most combat-effective is the international column, and behind them, the Soviet Union is supporting!" ”

"We can only take all the other territories, control those ports, close the border with France, so that Soviet reinforcements cannot reach Madrid, and we can make Madrid surrender even if we don't fight."

"Today, opposite us, there is a T-26, this is the Soviet Union reinforcements, only by cutting off foreign aid, can we achieve victory."

Richthofen wasted a lot of saliva, and in the end, Franco just nodded, even if it was over.

Back at the base, Richthofen told Shirek everything about the meeting, and Shirek nodded: "As I expected, Franco will never give up playing Madrid." ”

Richthofen was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, what you proposed was a plan that could not be agreed to, so why mention it?

"In this way, by the time next year, when Madrid still can't play, everyone will know that the plan I put forward is the right one." Ciric said.

If the ports are not blocked, the borders are not blocked, Soviet aid can be easily sent to Madrid, and the opponent has been replenishing blood, how can this be fought?

In the past few months, not to mention attacking the urban area of Madrid, even the suburbs of Madrid have not been able to fight!

The plan that Ciric is proposing now is to show this foresight so that he can win the respect of those veterans.

"It seems that this battle in Madrid will not be fought for a long time." Richthofen was quite convinced of Ciric.

Ciric nodded: "Now our army is aggressive, but the stamina is insufficient, at most another month to fight, it will definitely not work, at least the logistics supply will not be able to keep up." Wait until next year, and the Republican Army will counterattack again. This Spanish campaign will not end so soon. ”

Ciric's crossing has changed history, if Ciric leads the German elite all the way forward, it can smoothly enter Madrid.

But what's in it for you? Therefore, Ciric will not change the history of the Spanish Civil War at all, let Franco taste defeat first!

"Our planes can be sent out one after another to participate in some ground attack missions and train our pilots, and as for the tank troops, keep them first." Ciric said.

There are tanks on the opposite side, or T-26s with cannon barrels, so, next, the Italian army, which has learned the lesson, will definitely not want to go to the front line, they will change their tactics, that is, first use artillery, bombard with planes, bombard almost, and then go up.

Exactly as Ciric guessed.

After a week of indiscriminate bombardment, the Nationalist Army, which had once again gathered its troops, finally broke through the defense line of the "Pastoral House" park, and then forced its way across the Manzanares River and pressed on the university town.

Here, a brutal battle began, and the 11th detachment of the international column was newly formed, which defended the university town to the death.

Fighter planes are bombing indiscriminately, dropping countless bombs on college towns every day.

Every building in the university town, the philosophical building, the literary building, has become a bloody battlefield, and almost every building is engaged in a tug-of-war. It's like a terrible meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of both sides.

The fighting, which lasted until the end of November, gave Franco the order to retreat.

After more than a month of fighting, the casualties were too heavy, and Franco was almost desperate in the face of the growing number of republican troops and the new number of international columns that kept popping up.

Madrid is just around the corner, but you can't go any further! At this time, he finally remembered Ciric's suggestion, if Madrid's backup is not stopped, Madrid will be difficult to fight!
