Chapter 208: Angering Franco
Jose is here!
Compared with the past, Jose's smiling face is gone, and now Jose is simply a sad face, just seeing Ciric, Jose can't help but vomit bitterness: "General Ciric, you have embarrassed your brother, didn't you say okay, your First Armored Division is here to support our Central Army?" What's going on now? ”
According to the plan, Ciric's 1st Armored Division will open a hole in the central front, just in time to charge with the Central Army behind, and José has already carried out pre-war mobilization, hoping to break through Madrid and let the Central Army win glory.

The result? The biggest backup suddenly ran away, eighty kilometers away! How could this not make José depressed.
At the same time, José came here on behalf of Franco, who didn't know what Ciric was doing, so he sent José over.
Hearing José's complaint, Cirikra took him by the arm and said to him, "Come, come, come, I'll show you the route of our march." ”
In front of the map, José's eyes widened, looking at Ciric's earth-shattering march route, he opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, isn't this nonsense?
Crossing half of Spain in a week to Barcelona? How is this possible? The lone army is deep, and you can't be dumplings by the Republican Army? Halfway through, the army was wiped out.
Until now, even Franco didn't think he would be able to fight in a week.
However, he did not dare to question that the person opposite, but Ciric, was the most trusted subordinate of the German Führer Hitler! Moreover, many miracles have been created! He said okay, that's not good, it's really good.
"Well, General Ciric, this plan of yours is great." For a long time, José muttered such a sentence out of his mouth.
Looking at the winding march route, José suddenly remembered one thing, what should we do with the Central Army? The armored division ran so far, it must not be able to support the Central Army to fight Madrid!
"Well, General Ciric, can you divide some of the tanks and help us fight..."Before José's words were finished, outside, the rumbling sound of planes sounded, one after another, it seemed that it was a large group of planes taking off.
The sound of the plane suppressed José's words, and Ciric didn't hear it at all, his eyes looked at the staff officer who came in from outside.
"General, our plane is on a transfer flight, and it's time for our base here to be transferred." Staff Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said.
The soldiers who came in later put away the map hanging on the wall here.
Just when he came in, Jose felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what it was, but now he realized that this place was going to be transferred!
Where to go? Supposedly, this is the closest base to support Madrid? Don't?
Thinking of this, Jose was stunned for a moment.
Not only did the armored forces run away, but now, even the air force of the Condor Legion is leaving?
"General José, can you send some of your troops and march east with us?" Ciric asked José.
Eastward together? Subconsciously, Jose wanted to nod, but suddenly came to his senses and quickly shook his head: "I'm sorry, General Ciric, our mission is to fight Madrid, that..."
"Then there's no way, you can do it yourself, I'm going to move with the troops." As he spoke, Ciric picked up his military cap, put it on his head, and walked outside.
Jose stood still, looking at the already empty headquarters, his brain was in a short-circuit state at this time, what should he do? How do you go back and explain to General Franco?
"Franco, you must be angry." Sitting in the car, next to Ciric, Staff Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said.
The Condor Legion, nominally under Franco's command, but in fact, is completely autonomous, and Ciric's actions are understandable, but Cirikra is on the Northern Army, and now he has to pull the Central Army, Franco will definitely be unhappy when he knows about it.
"Short-sighted, just looking at Madrid, Franco's mistakes, we can only point to correcting." "By the way," said Cirek, "Guderian did a great job this time!" ”
Ciric was quite satisfied with Guderian, and even Ciric didn't expect that Guderian would actually get the forward base of the Air Force!
This has to start from the eve before.
"Buzz, buzz." The 26-horsepower twin-cylinder air-cooled engine is roaring, and the two exhaust pipes at the tail are constantly emitting green smoke, this is a BMW R75 motorcycle, at this time, the car is driving fast on the potholed field road, fast.
From time to time it fell into the mud puddle and crawled out of the mud puddle from time to time, three wheels, jolting.
In the front seat, there was Conrad, a soldier of the 3rd squad of the reconnaissance company of the 1st Armored Division, who wore a complete set of trench coats made of waterproof fabrics, the hem of which was buttoned to his legs, becoming a closed "jumpsuit" to maximize the comfort of his driving.
And on the sidecar on the side of the motorcycle, there is Adenauer, the squad leader of the 3rd squad, his eyes are looking ahead in embarrassment, and in front of his seat is the iconic German MG34 machine gun.
Motorcycle groups like him, there are now dozens.
When the armored division charged forward, it was necessary to reconnoiter the situation in front in advance, and all this was achieved by relying on the motorcycles of the reconnaissance company, and just before Guderian's armored troops moved, the motorcycles had already penetrated dozens of kilometers into the front line in advance, so as to reconnoiter the enemy situation for the armored division and provide a suitable course of action for the armored division.
It was night, the motorcycle had no lights, and Conrad was observing the situation ahead only by the moonlight.
Ahead, is a small forest.
Conrad's motorcycle, into the woods, stumbling through the woods for a while, ahead, suddenly cleared.
And at this moment, Conrad stepped on the brakes, and the two wheels behind him locked, making clear ruts on the ground.
Adenauer on the sidecar, also a good walk, jumped off the sidecar, he ran a few steps quickly, squatted down, and then used his telescope, looking into the distance, his face was surprised, his mouth, whispered: "Conrad, we have made a great contribution!" ”
In the dark, everything was blurry, and that didn't affect the interpretation, the long runway, the rows of planes parked on the side, they actually discovered a secret airbase of the Republican Army!
"Immediately inform the company commander that we have discovered the air base, and ask him to send a force over and occupy this place!"
