Section 694 Thirteenth Brigade
Barcelona, a Chinese 30,000-ton giant ship docked in the port, this is the first Chinese ship anchored here, before the Chinese weapons were re-exported through Greece, not only inefficient, but also Italy in France intercepted, even if it was transported by French ships, they still intercepted it, the French government did not even protest, obviously they took into account the neutrality law.

And they had reached a neutrality agreement with Britain and Soviet Russia before, agreeing not to provide aid to Spain, France was more worried about Soviet Russia inserting a nail in their backs, so they had to put up with Adolf and Mussolini making small moves there, to put it bluntly, or the Gallic rooster is already a weak chicken, and its control in Europe has been lost, if in the era of the Emperor, you give Prussia and Sardinia ten dares, see if they dare to play with fire in the backyard of France?
Italy intercepted the French arms ship, this is the Chinese government's direct motive, let Mussolini stop the Chinese ship to try, Yang Chao does not mind beating the descendants of the ancient Roman Empire in advance, by the way, Uncle Black in Ethiopia presides over justice, Emperor Haile Selassie can not find supporters in Europe, he has lived in Nanjing, and Yang Chao is now a good friend.
"Alright brothers, our guys are here."
Looking at the tanks and containers that were transported down from the dock, Yang Yuting waited directly on the dock.
During this time, he did not have a good relationship with the leaders of GC International, because he refused to bring soldiers to the front, because these people did not even have guns in their hands, and the Soviet and Russian arms ships were not always blocked by Britain and France, in fact, they have only brought one cargo ship so far, and it still came through the Turkish Strait, but under the threat of Italy, Turkey has blocked the strait.
There is no gun to shoot a yarn, the leaders of GC International said that the revolutionary fighting spirit of the no chan rank is better than the plane cannon of the capitalists, fortunately Yang Yuting is not a fanatical brain-dead fan, otherwise it really went up, after all, the leaders of Soviet Russia also issued an explosive package to each person.
This period of time has always been delayed in Barcelona, but it does not mean that Yang Yuting is idle, he will be the soldiers of the 13th Brigade to the death of Yu Xianyu, now even those fat young masters who studied in Europe, are already full of muscles, at the same time he has established a sound army organizational structure system, at least the brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon system has been established, unlike the 11th and 12th international brigades did not even complete the organization, they went directly to the battlefield, this kind of army can win is a miracle.
Yang Yuting's efforts were not in vain, and soon the armored soldiers trained with French tractors and scrapped tanks immediately drove the tanks, and the infantry pried open the arms boxes one by one and distributed weapons and ammunition.
"Tell the brothers, take as much as you can, and take at least two guns per person."
Yang Yuting doesn't care whether the Spanish government will restrict them, to be honest, he has not been removed until now, because the Spanish government does not dare to remove him, and even the leaders of GC International want to remove him, it is the Spanish government that asks for mercy, because these weapons and equipment are all shipped from China and ordered through the Chinese forces in GC International, and those guys in China, although they are of the same mind as Soviet Russia in righteousness, but they are not sloppy in the struggle for power and profit, and their representatives in Moscow often make Stalin uncomfortable.
As for Zhang Zuolin sending people to send counterfeit dollar bills to the Spanish government, they didn't know that the Chinese did it, because Zhang Zuolin's subordinates asked them to keep it secret, the joint method was very mysterious, would not leave any evidence, and would only be used as a legend in the future, and Zhang Zuolin was very particular about doing business, giving money and exchanging things, and the price of the artwork was given several times that it didn't matter.
The tragedy of the Spanish Civil War inspired a large number of Spanish artists, such as painters like Picasso, who can really create great works.
But the creation of modern painters is only a small part, the real big head is the collection of those capitalists, aristocrats and churches confiscated by the Spanish government, you must know that Spain was once a great empire, in his glorious time, Britain, France, Italy these countries have not been beaten by him, in Western Europe for more than 200 years, when they were the real fighting nation, the Spanish phalanx swept across Europe.
And the Spaniards are indeed very uncivilized, the era of the British, even if they sell big cigarettes, at least hang a sign of free trade, fight a war with China, that is in the name of maintaining free trade, Spain does not pay attention to these, that is, direct looting, massacre, robbery, completely the moral level of the era of Genghis Khan, the peoples slaughtered by them, from the blacks of Africa, to the Indians of the Americas, to the Filipinos of Asia, the Chinese, I am afraid how many people were killed, they themselves can't remember, in their colonial era, The loss of people in the Americas is said to be as high as 100 million.
After Yang Yuting reorganized the troops, he immediately got on the train to Madrid and went to the front line to fight, although the Chinese brought money and arms to Spain, but the pressure of Soviet Russia is still very great, if he cannot prove himself on the battlefield as soon as possible, he will be the brigade commander.
Yang Yuting graduated from a regular military academy, but he graduated from a Japanese military academy, when Yang Chao was in power, he could only be like Zhang Zuolin, becoming a marginal person in the army, becoming an alternative, but he was really moved by Zhang Zuolin, this old bandit, in terms of human sophistication and a set, righteous, understanding people's hearts, Yang Yuting really admired him, so he would rather give up his position as a military commander than betray Zhang Zuolin.
Yang Yuting's past status as a military commander made him a well-deserved brigade commander, and the history of his disagreement with Yang Chao also reassured Soviet Russia, Yang Yuting explained why he came to Spain to participate in the war, one reason was to express his dissatisfaction with being excluded at home.
Although Soviet Russia investigated Yang Yuting, as he said, it was not Yang Chao's direct background, and he was implicated in the trial of Zhang Zuolin in Shanghai, but Soviet Russia thought that Yang Chao and Zhang Zuolin seemed to be the same party, so they did not plan to appoint Yang Yuting as the brigade commander at the beginning, and it was Stalin's last personal inquiry before he passed, which is also a reason why the leaders of GC International have never been able to defeat Yang Yuting, but Yang Yuting himself does not know that he has entered the eyes of Comrade Stalin.
The 13th Brigade was not very well armed, because most of the light weapons were Soviet-made, and the Tsar Knights wiped out 3 million Soviet troops in Siberia, and the captured equipment was worth a million, which was better used to arm the great Spanish people than in warehouses.
On the contrary, the Soviet Russia itself did not provide much Soviet-made equipment, because they were not very comfortable to blatantly supply weapons to Spain in consideration of the neutrality agreement signed with Britain and France, and at the same time, they did not have the ability to produce so many weapons, and the factories had to keep the machinery and equipment for the production of the five-year plan.
These Soviet-made weapons were not sophisticated, but they were adequately adequate, and in the hands of the 13th Brigade, which was relatively well-trained compared to the rest of the Spanish People's Army and even compared to the rebels, it quickly showed extraordinary power.
Of course, it was mainly the tanks that played a role, and there were brave Soviet and Russian pilots in the sky, but in fact, the sky of Madrid was not completely dominated by the rebels.
Chinese tanks are actually not excellent, after the Siberian War, the army has analyzed the pros and cons, and has been entrusting the arsenal to help them develop new tanks, emphasizing increasing speed, even if they sacrifice part of the armor thickness for this reason, they do not hesitate to do so, because in the war they found that when they were pursuing, they could not catch up with the T26 of Soviet Russia, although the T26 was thin and stuffed, and it could not be bombarded head-on with Chinese tanks, but people ran fast.
The war taught both sides a lesson, with Russia strengthening its armor protection and China demanding an increase in speed.
It's a pity that the arsenal hasn't helped them get a new tank, because the old tank has taken too far to make a detour, and it is not so easy to transform from a clumsy mobile fortress into a medium tank in the real sense, almost a completely new design, and many technical arsenals do not have it, and after a year of development, they have to rely on the strength of other companies, such as entrusting Skoda to help them develop the chassis of the new tank.
The Chinese tank forces can no longer look down on the clumsy mobile fortress, but these monsters with armor thickness of up to 90 mm have exerted extraordinary power in the hands of Yang Yuting, for one reason, it is very durable, and the rebels' artillery can't help it, so this monster rampaged through the streets of Madrid, and cooperated with the infantry to pull out the rebel strongholds one by one, and completely drove the rebels out of the city of Madrid and across the Manzanares River.
The 13th Brigade became famous in the first battle and became a well-deserved main force in the international column.
The Madrid crisis was temporarily resolved, and the 13th Brigade was commended, but it quickly shifted its position, as the Republic's form on other fronts was not optimistic, and the rebels had previously launched a north-south attack, with Madrid in the south and the Basque Country, Spain's industrial center in the Bay of Biscay, in the north.
Everywhere the factories were now taken over by the workers, and the factory owners either fled abroad and used their money in Britain to support Frango, or they were shot at home.
This is now the case in almost every city, where the rebels and the Spanish government are waging a purge.
The rebels eliminated dissidents from the army as early as North Africa; Then, without taking a single city, they destroyed the workers' organizations in it. As for the government of the republic, after the arrival of the Russian advisers, it launched a liquidation campaign against the nobles and capitalists, and according to the theory of Soviet Russia, if these remnants were not eliminated, they would definitely cooperate with the Frango rebels.
So the ports and big cities such as Barcelona and Valencia, which started the uprising, were suppressed and then washed again, and then the rebels came and washed again, and this continuous tug of war would last for several years, knowing that the Spaniards had washed themselves clean, and there was not a dime in their pockets, and everyone became poor and lived in peace.
