Chapter 214: Tito

Josep Broz Tito, the man in history who ruled Yugoslavia for half a century, and now, Tito is a middle-aged man in his forties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tito was born on May 25, 1892, into a poor peasant family in the Croatian village of Kumrowec.

In 1913, Tito was drafted into the Austro-Hungarian army and won the second place in the all-army fencing competition. He was a strong lad with top-notch military qualities.

In 1915, Tito arrived in Russia with his army in battle against the Russian army, wounded and captured. As a result, he was baptized by the October Revolution in Russia and had a new faith.

After that, Tito returned to Yugoslavia and served as a member of the Yugoslav Communist Party District Committee, secretary of the Zagreb Hardware Union, and secretary of the Zagreb Municipal Party Committee. In 1920, Tito was arrested and imprisoned by the authorities.

It was not until his release in 1934 that he was elected a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, where he engaged in secret party work. At the beginning of the following year he went to Moscow to serve as a member of the Balkan Secretariat of the Comintern and rapporteur for Yugoslavia.

Historically, in December 1937, Tito began to preside over the work of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.

Tito's resume does not mention his battles in the Spanish Civil War, but in fact, Tito did participate in the Spanish Civil War.

As far as Tito was concerned, coming to Spain was actually a matter of gaining experience and qualifications, and as long as he stayed in Spain for a while, he would properly become the chief party leader in Yugoslavia after he returned.

Unfortunately, Tito had a very bad chance, originally, it was impossible for him to go to Madrid, where there was a possibility of glory at any time, Tito came to the field airfield in the rear, and took a team of Yugoslav troops to participate in the task of defending the airfield. After staying for a while, Tito would be able to return to Yugoslavia with honor.

As a result, the Germans attacked the airfield, and Tito was beaten to the ground.

Hiding in the mountains and forests near Torrija, Tito felt extremely depressed.

"Any news?" In a cave, Tito asked his deputy, Ivan Gosniak, who had just returned.

Ivan's face was full of excitement: "Yes, there is news, after our air base was captured, the German Condor Regiment was stationed here, and although the leader used a pseudonym, I still knew that his real name was Ciric, that is, the notorious German!" ”

After Ivan went out, he found out the news of a nearby air base, which made everyone very excited.

"If we get in and kill that Ciric quietly, we've done a great job!" Tito said.

Make contributions! Tito really wanted to prove that he was definitely not a vase through a beautiful battle, he was here to fight!

Ivan shook his head: "No, they are too tightly defended!" These Germans, with submachine guns in their hands, and, moreover, tanks, were guarding the perimeter of the airfield, and there were even military dogs in every corner, and it was impossible for us to touch them. ”

It was not easy to get in, and the Germans succeeded in a sneak attack, because the vigilance on the side of the Republican Army was too low, and in comparison, the Germans had long been prepared and the vigilance was quite high.

"We have to find more people!" Tito said: "It was not only us who were scattered that night, but there must have been, and we had to gather more people to have hope." We also need to find an informant, and it will be easier to ambush this Shirek on the road when he is on his way. ”

Tito gritted his teeth, ambushed Ciric, and killed Ciric on the battlefield in Spain, this idea is his goal now!

………

"Buzz, buzz." The motorcyclist twisted the throttle, and at the same time, both legs were raised, and below, the water splashed.

The Huelva River, a small river near Muel, is now the dry season and the water is shallow enough to be crossed without much effort on motorcycles!

On the motorcycle, Adenauer's eyes are vigilantly looking ahead, and as scouts, they must be the first to detect possible enemy situations!

However, the front is calm, small village, wisps of smoke, calm and peaceful.

"There is no problem, you can move forward." Adenauer said.

Behind them, a few kilometers away, one after another tanks rumbled up, and the tracks ran over the water of the small river, and smoothly reached the opposite side.

The mountainous area has finally passed, and the front, a flat river!

The hatch of a Leopard 2 tank opened, and Guderian got out of it, and he looked at the field in the distance, and his heart was extremely excited.

It's already out of the mountain!

"Division, commander, let's just rush across the Ebro River tonight." Kurt suggested to Guderian.

Guderian nodded: "What is our fuel consumption?" ”

For long-distance travel, the most important thing to pay attention to is fuel! Mechanized troops, you must have plenty of fuel!

As a result, the 1st Armored Division is equipped with a large number of 10-ton Ford all-wheel drive trucks, which will provide a steady stream of logistical supplies when they charge.

After the last refill, the truck returned and reloaded with fuel, and as the distance increased, so did the time it took to make the round trip.

"Don't worry, we have enough fuel to make us go around in circles and back to Zaragoza." Kurt said.

Use a diesel engine as fuel for the tank, so that the tank's travel is greatly increased! You can run hundreds of kilometers!

And this time, for a long march, all the Panther tanks, in the rear, also attached two additional fuel tanks to further increase the amount of fuel carried.

"Okay, tonight, cross the Ebro!" Guderian said: "Tomorrow, we will regain Zaragoza!" ”

Rush, rush, rush! The essence of blitzkrieg is to use the mobility of mechanized equipment to make long journeys and appear in places that the enemy does not expect!

Especially, when it comes to the plains, it's a paradise for tanks!

Kinto, in the history of the Spanish Civil War, where the famous Battle of Kinto broke out, is also a place of repeated battles and battles.

But now, Jinto, is an undefended place, and there are not even troops stationed here!

All the armies in the vicinity of Zaragoza had been moved to the other side of the valley to ambush the German armored forces, and they were ready to fight, but they did not expect the Germans to appear from their rear.

Behind them, it's empty!

"Crunch!" Running to the other side of the bridge, Conrad stepped on the brakes, and Adenauer jumped off the sidecar.

The Ebro River, the second longest river in the Iberian Peninsula and the longest in Spain, has now reached the lower reaches of the river, and the river is open and difficult to cross without the capture of the bridge.

"Quick, protect the bridge!" At this moment, the leading reconnaissance troops, one after another motorcycles, drove over, and they quickly set up a bridgehead position, waiting for the passage of the follow-up troops.
