Chapter 201: The Times Call for Heroes
Without notice, Ciric came to the barracks of the Northern Army and asked to see General Mora, which surprised General Mora, but he still put aside everything and came to greet him as soon as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"General Ciric, are you here to find me in connection with the bombardment of Barcelona?" Entering a conference room, Mora asked Ciric.
Mora is quite shrewd, and in one sentence he reveals the origin of Ciric.
If the German warships bombed the flagship of the Republican Army, there is still an explanation for this, after all, they were attacked first, but then they actually ran to Barcelona to shell the shore artillery positions there, it is really impossible to say, unless Ciric has more arrangements.
For example, take Barcelona!
Ciric nodded: "Yes, General Mora, my proposal, General Franco does not support it, his vision is too short-sighted, only focused on Madrid, he has no overall view at all." I think you'll be able to support me. ”
At the meeting, Moura fully supported Ciric's views, first taking down the surrounding turf and completely isolating Madrid.
However, Franco was not moved at all!
Franco was too obsessed with Madrid, or rather, Franco was too obsessed with Spain's state power, so he had no concept of the overall situation.
Mora's hand tapped lightly on the table, and of course he knew what the support of Ciric was saying.
Ignore Franco's stubble and do it alone with Ciric, in this case, what will Franco think?
Mora is a heavy general in the army, and it can be said that his influence is second only to Franco within the army, and Mora's statement is quite important.
"What are you going to do?" After thinking about it for a long time, Mora didn't agree, he wanted to see what Ciric thought.
"From here, a week, to Barcelona." Ciric said: "Our armored forces will carry out the main attack, you only need to send the Northern Army and follow along the way." ”
From Madrid, a week, hit to Barcelona! This sentence shocked Mora quite a bit!
From Madrid to Barcelona, there are more than 600 kilometers, which means that you have to advance 100 kilometers every day!
In this day and age, advancing a hundred kilometers a day is definitely! If Mora is allowed to command by himself, it will take half a year to advance to Barcelona!
This plan has been planned for a long time for Ciric, and when the First Panzer Division was transferred in the first place, it was to train them!
What to train them? Of course, how to fight, for tank units, their new tactics must have a stage for drills.
This new set of tactics is the blitzkrieg that Guderian has painstakingly researched in the desert! Relying on mechanized equipment, advance quickly!
The Spanish region is mountainous and not as fast as the plains, and it is for these reasons that they set a goal of a week, 100 kilometers a day, which is already the limit.
This war is a rehearsal for a future blitzkrieg in Europe!
And, even more advantageous, the rear of the republican army is quite empty.
Franco's desire for Madrid will not change, Madrid is the main battlefield of the entire Spanish Civil War, and the Republican Army also uses Madrid as the main battlefield, and all the troops are gathering towards Madrid.
In this case, although it seems that the IRA still controls a large part of Spain's territory, in fact, it is just a matter of paper, and it will be broken with a single stab!
And Ciric's armored legion will be like a red-hot iron rod stuffed into cheese, invincible, attacking all the way!
However, in this case, there will be new problems.
Ciric's armored division, there is no problem in attacking, but it lacks enough troops to garrison, and it is no problem to fight all the way, but what to do later?
After the fight, if the back is blocked, then this lone army will be in danger!
It is precisely because of this that Ciric came to General Mora for help, anyway, his offensive route is in the north of Spain, hoping that after his attack, General Mora can send infantry to keep up with his attack and occupy the city that has been attacked behind!
That's what Ciric is here for!
General Mora, will he refuse?
Ciric finished his thoughts and told General Mora that he didn't need him to send troops to attack, he just needed to send people to follow up and garrison, that's all!
Mora, there is no reason to refuse, in this way, he can easily recover half of the country!
"Okay, I promise you, no matter where you attack, we will follow you firmly!" Moura said: "We are also looking forward to coming back to Barcelona as soon as possible. ”
Barcelona is of great significance to Spain, it is the second largest city in Spain, and it is also the largest port, and it will be a heavy blow to Madrid's morale and will also cut off Madrid's foreign aid!
For Spain, it's worth a try!
"Then from tomorrow, we will officially start the attack." "I hope you don't let us down," said Ciric. ”
Mora nodded, once he made a promise, he would never break his promise.
Sitting in the returning car, Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen, a staff officer on the side, asked Ciric: "General, why don't we look for General José?" ”
José's relationship with the German Legion has always been good.
Ciric shook his head: "In the last meeting, José was left and right, if we find Jose, then he will definitely turn around and tell Franco." ”
Jose can't be relied on, and Moura has the courage to do so.
More reasons, of course, Ciric did not say, when this operation is over, General Mora, who has recovered half of the country, will have more halos on his head, and his prestige will even surpass Franco, and when the time comes, Franco will definitely have to do something.
Force Franco to do it, save Mora, provoke the conflict between Mora and Franco, and then profit from it!
And Jose will also play an important role in this!
Doing this by himself seems to be too shady, there is no way, in this world, only a hero can succeed, a scheming man like Xiang Yu will not live long, and a villain like Liu Bang can have the last laugh!
Returned to the base, the 1st Panzer Division, which had already carried out the final mobilization.
After coming from Germany, they had been resting, and now the whole division was in the best condition! Each and every one of them is eager to fight!
"The time has come to test us." At the swearing-in meeting before departure, Ciric looked at the energetic soldiers below, and was also full of spirit: "Now, let us use a brilliant victory to win glory for the flag of our Adolf Hitler Guards Panzer Division!" ”
