"You're running away shamefully, and I can't do that with my troops."

Larry always resolutely believed that there was nothing wrong with his defense, and always insisted on his own point of view, and the other officers saw that what Li Mo said was also very reasonable, but the traditional obedience consciousness of the German army made them dare not and did not want to go against Larry's opinion, and finally everyone discussed a compromise plan, Li Mo took an 88 mm anti-tank gun and a truck of ammunition to set up a defensive position on the unnamed hill.

Since Larry insisted on exposing his soldiers to enemy fire, Li Mo couldn't change it, but fortunately, he could finally deploy the defense in his own way, and there was still a lot of hope for holding the Blue Bridge.

After Li Mo finished the pre-war meeting, he immediately took people to the nameless hills, and began to fire artillery overnight, the sandstone was moderately hard, and the effect of the guns was relatively good, Li Mo's task was to use explosives to blow up a hole five meters deep and three meters in diameter in the middle of the nameless hills when it was necessary to use one night, and as for the trenches, they were all opened up with explosives.

In the defense of the mountains, you must ensure that you have enough water and living supplies, otherwise you will be trapped by the enemy, fortunately, there are more than a dozen large gasoline barrels abandoned by the government army at the head of the blue bridge, and now all Li Mo has cleaned them, and then loaded them with river water and transported them to the bottom of the nameless hills.

One afternoon and one night of artillery construction, and by the next morning, Limer had used explosives to roughly build up the defensive positions on the nameless hills, and of course the German positions at the Blue Bridge had begun to take shape under the command of Larry, and the quality of the German troops was beyond doubt. The positions of Larry and Limer, who can withstand the test of war, will soon be confirmed by the attack of government forces.

The next morning, after the completion of Larry's sandbag fortifications, there was no civil work, in Larry's eyes, his civil fortifications were already very complete, but Li Mo did not dare to let his subordinates rest, continued to strengthen and improve the fortifications, and at the same time sent a big truck back to the Vulture Logistics Office, and received half a cart of ammunition and half a cart of food, after these materials were transported to the nameless hills, they must be transported by manpower and mules and horses to the anti-artillery hole halfway up the mountainside, so more than 30 people under Li Mo were all exhausted, Fortunately, Li Mo has always taken the lead, and he has not only been a commander who only moves his mouth but does not use his hands, which also makes Li Mo's subordinates have no complaints.

By the afternoon, Li Mo's fortifications and ammunition supplies on the nameless hills had all been completed, and Li Mo carefully took stock of his family. In total, he had a truckload and a half of ammunition, about eight tons, and a half-truck of supplies, about two tons; An 88-mm anti-aircraft gun is now arranged in the anti-artillery hole, so it can only shoot flat and cannot shoot in the air, of course, the survival rate of this baby 88 gun has also been greatly improved; Three MG34 general-purpose machine guns, one for each infantry squad, with enough machine gun bullets; A water-cooled heavy machine gun, this water-cooled heavy machine gun was used by Li Mo to pick up government troops at the Blue Bridge, and the ammunition was enough; two 50-mm mortars, ammunition is also relatively sufficient; In addition, Li Mo has a total of three infantry squads, an artillery squad and an 88 artillery group, if it is a full number, there should be sixty people, and Li Mo's platoon is not full, a total of only forty-eight people.

As for the fortifications, Li Mo carefully checked and counted, the nameless hills and mountains, the height is about three hundred meters, and the circumference of the halfway up the mountain is about four hundred and fifty meters, Li Mo used explosives to blow up a trench around the nameless hills and mountains in the middle of the mountainside, and blew up a large anti-artillery hole ten meters deep and three meters in diameter in the direction of facing the Blue Bridge, which is used to place 88 guns, and other small anti-artillery holes are one every five meters, if you squeeze it, you can accommodate an infantry squad, Li Mo was able to build this circular defensive position halfway up the mountain in one day and one night, thanks to the tremendous effect of explosives.

On the morning of March 14, 1937, Franco immediately organized a large-scale urban offensive after completing the siege of Brunette City, and the Condor Legion also participated in the battle. It cost countless lives, and in just one day of attack, the rebels led by Franco lost more than 2,000 killed and wounded more than 3,000, and the total attrition reached more than 5,000.

Franco's total strength for the offensive is only 80,000, and there are 30,000 international columns and 20,000 Spanish government troops defending Brunette, in addition to a large number of militias, even if Franco's resistance army has advanced weapons and inexhaustible ammunition with the strong support of Germany and Italy and other countries, this kind of siege street fighting is also very unlost, Li Mo has long seen the current situation clearly, Franco made a fatal mistake in tactics, he wants to take the gateway of the Spanish capital in one fell swoop, so as to besiege Madrid, the capital of Spain, It's just that this kind of comparison of forces and the desperate resistance of those international columns will definitely make the arrogant Franco bloody.

"Squad leader, you see that the gunfire and artillery sound over there in Brunette City are so dense, it seems that the fighting is very fierce!"

Vincent and Limer leaned against the trench to smoke and chat, and the Berlin Zeitung reporter next to him took a photo of the two of them in time, and then also accosted:

"Yes! Brunette City is in full swing, there must be a lot of news there, but it's a pity that I can't go to Brunette City for an interview, which is really a pity. ”

"Mr. Blu-ray, I advise you not to think about going to Brunette City, it's a meat grinder, it's better to stay here with us!"

Blu-ray was very surprised, the rebel army commanded by Franco broke through the outlying positions of the government army organization in one fell swoop, and surrounded the city of Brunette in one day, at the beginning of the war, Blu-ray personally followed the battle, the combat effectiveness of the Spanish government army is indeed very poor, and in the face of the attack of the Condor Legion, it will soon collapse, such an army can they still turn Brunette City into a meat grinder? Blu-ray was absolutely not convinced, and continued to ask:

"Platoon commander, just like the government army, can also make big waves in Brunette City, I think it's a bit exaggerated!"

Li Mo was noncommittal, first took a comfortable puff of cigarette, spewed out a smoke ring, and then spewed out an arrow-shaped smoke through the smoke ring:

"That's the international column that you haven't seen to support the Spanish government army, these people who are fanatical in faith, their combat effectiveness is the most terrifying, a force with faith and daring to sacrifice is a terrifying force, the international column is such a force, and reality will soon tell you the truth...... Okay, let's go and rest first, I see that the government army's reconnaissance planes have already come three or four times today, and tomorrow at the latest, our place will become a battlefield, and the Blue Bridge is the bridge of life for Brunet, how can the government army not attack with heavy troops. ”
