It took only two days for the rebels to clear the outskirts of Santander, and the government strongholds outside the city were completely cleared, and Franco ordered the army to storm Santander on all sides.

Franco was not a mediocre man, he was a major general before the rebellion, and there was certainly a reason why the rebels were so eager to attack, because the government army sent 50,000 or 60,000 men out of the capital Madrid, wanting to break through the resistance line set up in Santander and Madrid, so that they could support the defenders of Santander.

In order not to find themselves in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, the rebels must destroy the 30,000 second-rate defenders in Santander as soon as possible.

The rebel attack on the city of Santander began on August 3, 1937, and the starting point of Limer's departure was the two pillboxes they occupied, which were to be used as the regimental command post, and the main task of Limer's regiment was to attack the street in front of him, which was called Edward Street.

At the beginning of the war, Limer carefully studied this street and the city of Santander, which is located in the Bay of Biscay, south of the headland of Mayor, and bordering the Sea of Cadabrien, and the whole city is like a squid, and Edward Avenue passes through the head and body of this squid, just dividing Santander in two.

As long as Li Mo and the others captured this street, Santander would be divided into two pieces, and the defenders who could not take care of each other would be wiped out more quickly. Edward Street was only three kilometers long, and Li Mo's regiment was only responsible for attacking the first kilometer, and the rest of the Condor Regiment was to complete the rest of the Condor. And the two companies of Li Mo and Otto are the advance commandos, and the commandos are the most dangerous offensive troops, and all the hard bones are gnawed by themselves.

Li Mo was assigned such a task, and if their regiment commander deliberately embarrassed Li Mo, who would have called Li Mo to fight! In the last battle of Brunet, Li Mo was as dazzling as a bright star, and the entire Vulture Legion was bloodied in Brunet City, and Li Mo led dozens of people to annihilate nearly a thousand enemy elites, which was a huge battle feat.

The bombardment of the Condor Legion began at 8 a.m., this time only on the buildings on the edge of the city, so that the commando team led by Li Mo could gain a foothold on the edge of the city.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

In order to cheer up their troops, the Condor Legion concentrated all its artillery and began to bombard the section of the road they attacked, and the smoke from countless explosions rose in Santander, and countless buildings were shattered in the shelling.

As the commando leader, Li Mo temporarily commanded Otto's tank company and his own infantry company, which was specially appointed by Major General Speerer to Li Mo, and it stands to reason that at least one battalion commander is needed to command such a unit, but Speer gave Li Mo this special case because of his relationship with the old Krupp, which can undoubtedly practice Li Mo's ability to command infantry coordination.

Before the shelling stopped, Li Mo had already pulled his troops to 500 meters outside Santander, which was to attack with artillery bombardment, and as soon as the shelling stopped, Li Mo let the twelve tanks under his command start to assault.

Each tank was followed by an infantry squad, every three tanks in a row, Edward Avenue was very wide, visually more than fifty meters wide, completely accommodating three tanks side by side.

At a distance of 500 meters, it was only a few minutes away, Li Mo personally led a squad to follow behind a tank in the middle of the first row, Bismarck on the left, Funk on the right, and the military reporter Blu-ray also acted with Li Mo, the camera was his weapon, and the photos taken and the reports written by Blu-ray in the early stage had aroused enthusiastic responses after they were published in the Berliner Zeitung, especially those real battle photos.

Of course, the published photos were all selected by the editor-in-chief of the "Berliner Zeitung", and all of them showed that the German army was invincible and invincible, because Blu-ray, a reporter, basically followed Li Mo in action, and the reports he wrote and the characters in the photos were basically related to Li Mo, which invisibly gave Li Mo the advantage of being close to the water and getting the first month.

Li Mo, a small company commander, has begun to become famous, and the blue editor described Li Mo as a heroic, wise, faithful, and loyal low-level commander in his report, because of Li Mo's outstanding appearance and strong family background, so that Li Mo became a German girl in a short period of time. Now Li Mo himself is still in the dark. The role of propaganda is very huge, a person is famous, and a propaganda offensive is indispensable, just like the Internet celebrities of later generations, who must be the driving force behind the scenes, and Li Mo's sudden fame in Germany is completely the role of the blue light behind the scenes, you must know that fame is a thing, but there are incomparable benefits, at least for Li Mo's future promotion, Rommel at the same time was able to be promoted from lieutenant colonel to marshal in just a few years, fame helped him a lot, and of course, Hitler's appreciation.

The gasoline engine of tank No. 2 emits a "poof...... ......The advantage of the gasoline engine is that it is light and quiet, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, it is easy to catch fire after being hit, causing the ammunition inside the tank to detonate, and the other is that the power provided by the gasoline engine is not as strong as the diesel engine, and now the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 tanks used in Germany are not large in tonnage, and the gasoline engine can also provide power for them, and the Tiger and Leopard in the back, because their own weight is at least more than 40 tons, The 700-horsepower tank gasoline engine is easy to spontaneously combust while driving, and such a powerful tank is destroyed on this damn gasoline engine, Germany does not want to use diesel engines, but Germany is an oil-poor country, and all crude oil is imported, and the oil synthesized by Germany with coal gas is also based on gasoline, and Germany's resources determine that Germany has to be equipped with gasoline engines on a large scale.

You must know that Germany is leading the world in engine technology, the diesel engine was invented by the Germans, and the German diesel engine is also very good, such as the two 700-horsepower Maybach diesel engines used in the U2 submarine, the quality is very good, if the turbocharging device is installed on this engine, it can reach 920 horsepower, with such a strong power output, what Tiger and Leopard combat power produced by Germany later increased by at least 30%, even if the best Allied tank in the late World War II, It is also difficult to compete with it, but Germany does not have much diesel to support a large number of diesel tanks, Li Mo is also thinking about the solution in his heart, anyway, Li Mo later remembered that there is a technology that can solve this problem, that is, "orange rod to diesel technology", Germany does not have this technology at this time, Li Mo plans to invest in research after returning to Germany, money is not a problem for Krupp.
