Chapter 23 Strategic Adjustment

Gijón and Santander are the two main industrial cities in eastern Spain, the most important is that most of Spain's military industrial enterprises are in these two cities, if the Spanish government army loses these two industrial cities, the war will not be sustainable, even with the support of the Soviet Union and other countries, the Spanish Civil War cannot be supported for a long time.

The commander-in-chief of the Condor Army, Major General Speer, set his sights on these two relatively weakly defended cities, and the Spanish government army placed most of its forces around the capital in order to protect the capital Madrid, while the industrial cities in the east were much less numerous and did not have the international columns that were not afraid of death.

Franco was forced to accept Sspeller's suggestion in the face of the facts, and after only two days of street fighting in Brunette, the rebels began to stop their offensive and then cover each other's retreat. The Condor Legion was the last to retreat because it was faced with the task of blocking government reinforcements.

Because the rebels besieging Brunette began to retreat, the government capital division on the other side of the bridge also retreated slightly, and they were afraid that all the rebels would come up by surprise and make them dumplings. As soon as the government troops retreated, the nameless hill where Li Mo was located was completely quiet, Li Mo still couldn't rest, burned the bodies of his fallen comrades, and then packed up their ashes, and then airlifted them back to China by plane, which was also an explanation for Li Mo to their families.

Three days later, Li Mo returned to the barracks, Li Mo's record was the best among all the companies of the Condor Legion, they used one company to prevent a heavy armored division from crossing the Hota River, and also annihilated five or six hundred enemies, which is a huge military feat.

Speerer belongs to the German Army, and they have little to do with the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering, and the dead fat man always grabs the share of the army, and the German Army is not interested in Goering, so Speer's combat achievements are still reported in full, and Speerer applied for the first-class Iron Cross medal for Limer, how lucky it is for the recruits who have only participated in one battle to get this kind of medal, of course, the merits of Limer's subordinates are also reported after statistics, and they can at least get a second-class Iron Cross medal.

Li Mo's military merit evaluation will be sent to the Army General Headquarters, and as for whether Goering's hand will reach the German Army General Headquarters, Li Mo does not know. Goering was already under a certain suspicion of Hitler, and it was impossible for him to die by himself and put his hand into the German army, and it was impossible for the old stubborn army to let Goering put his hand in.

The clash between the rebels and the government forces came to an end for the time being, and the rebel army led by Franco left only some troops to monitor the direction of Madrid, while the main force of 100,000 men began to move towards the eastern part of Spain, and the Condor Legion followed suit.

The rebels marched eastward, temporarily staying in Ciudad León between the capital Madrid and the eastern region, and needed to replenish and recuperate after street battles in Brunet. The Condor Legion also needs to be replenished. The government army did not immediately launch a counteroffensive because of the retreat of the rebels, the government army has about 300,000 people, they are equal to the strength of the rebels, but the government forces have to defend most of the country, so the forces are very scattered, and the government troops can only defend the territory west of the capital at this time.

……

"Platoon commander, General Speyler told you to go to his office."

A herald hurriedly ran to Li Mo to report the situation, and at this time, Li Mo was chatting with his remaining sixty or so subordinates! When Li Mo heard that it was the commander-in-chief looking for him, he hurriedly got up and prepared to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a soldier:

"Platoon commander, by the way, you can help me apply, and stay in the combat unit! I don't want to be a guy anymore. ”

"Platoon commander, I don't want to go back to raising horses, please help us talk to the commander-in-chief!"

More than 60 of the men and grooms and groom reinforcements sent to Li Mo were reinforced, and now there are more than 30 people left, they don't want to go back to be grooms and grooms, they want to stay in the combat unit, the last war in the nameless hills, their heroic performance is also remarkable, although the combat skills are almost good, but their blood and fighting passion are definitely not lacking at all.

"Don't worry! My brothers, we have all gone through the test of life and death together, and your request is also my request to General Speer, wait for my good news! ”

After Li Mo finished speaking, he stepped on the three-wheeled motorcycle, pedaled and went straight to the headquarters of the Condor Legion. General Speerer has always wanted to have a careful talk with Li Mo to understand the specific battle situation of the Nameless Hills, although Li Mo's battle report has been submitted, but Speer still wants to talk to Li Mo, so as to carefully study Li Mo's successful defensive tactics, which is too important for the Condor army, the Condor Army came to Spain to participate in the civil war, it is to accumulate experience.

"Report...... In...... Hi! Hitler. ”

The headquarters of the Condor Legion is located in a small building, and Speerer's office is in the outermost room on the second floor.

Speller was flipping through the documents at this time, and when he heard a knock on the door, he looked up and saw that it was Li Mo, and quickly put down the work in his hand and stood up.

"It's Ondet!! Come and sit down, don't be inhibited, today is to talk to you about your successful defensive tactics. ”

Major General Speerer's office is large, and there is also a set of sofas for receiving guests, right by the window. After Li Mo sat down, Speller had already made a cup of tea for Li Mo:

"I heard that you like to drink tea very much, come to the Longjing that I only bought to see if it suits your appetite?"

"General, how do you know that I like to drink Longjing?"

Li Mo was very surprised, how could Speer know that he liked to drink tea, you must know that coffee is still the main drink in Germany, and there are not many people who drink tea for a long time.

"Two people called me today, and one of them was your father, and I told him about your heroic battle, and he said he was proud of you."

"What about the other one? My general, is it Selena? ”

Could it be that the other one is his wife Selena? She asked Major General Speer about the current situation, after all, she was a newlywed wife, and it was natural for her to care about Li Mo.

"Of course not, but your enemy Goering, and you should guess why Goering is looking for me!! , but Goering, the air marshal, also stretched his hand too long, and actually reached out to the Condor Legion. ”

Goering's call to Speerer is definitely not a good thing, the first is to suppress Li Mo, and the second is to send Li Mo to the most dangerous mission as much as possible, which is enough for Li Mo. Besides, Major General Speer is a major general of the Air Force, and he can be under the control of Goering.
