Chapter 535: The Beacon of Reeve (Part II)

The Spanish air force was no longer a big threat, and the enemy army was not so terrible in the eyes of Kerim, and he took advantage of the time difference between the Spanish army and the Rifu army, and took the initiative to quickly eliminate the more than 10,000 puppet troops of the "traitor" Laisuli. The www.biquge.info were also Moroccans, but the exchange ratio reached an eye-popping 107:1, and the main reason for Klim's unpopularity was the outstanding command and better weaponry of Raissuli.

Most of Raissuli's soldiers were forcibly recruited by Rajuddin, and before they even entered the battle, these soldiers mutinied and joined the Krim, who is now famous in Morocco.

After the elimination of the puppet army, the weakness of the Spanish army's ignorance of the local situation in Rif was soon exposed, and the 100,000-strong army looked terrifying, but in the eyes of Krim, they were nothing more than deaf and blind......

Just when the Spanish army entered the Rif Mountains, Kerim quietly descended the mountain with his main force of more than 12,000 people, they changed into the Spanish military uniforms they had captured before, disguised as the Spanish army to raid the important town of Tetouan in northern Spanish Morocco, and almost wiped out more than 10,000 Spanish troops left behind at a small price, and also captured a large number of weapons, ammunition and other supplies in the logistics base of the Spanish expeditionary army.

The Spanish army that entered the mountains was shocked when they heard the news, once the logistics supply was interrupted, their huge size of 70,000 or 80,000 people would become a huge burden, you must know that even the plain area of Rif was already full of beacons, the efficiency of looting had been greatly reduced, and the supply of the rear was more dependent than before, and if the supply was cut off for a long time, this army would definitely collapse without a fight. Therefore, the Spanish army could only hurriedly withdraw from the Rif Mountains and rush back to Tetouan, if the enemy did not have time to move all the supplies away or destroy them, even if the supplies were gone, after all, it was close to the coast, and there was still hope to wait for help from the sea before everyone starved to death.

However, these 70,000 or 80,000 Spanish troops were not concentrated in one place, and they were so urgent that when they withdrew, they naturally had a first and then the next, which gave Krim the opportunity to break through, he first set up an ambush in the valley of the Lu River, annihilated more than 20,000 Spanish troops, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, successive victories, and constantly expanding the results of the battle. In the end, less than 20,000 of the Spanish troops who went to the Rif Mountains to fight the rebels were able to escape back to Tetouan......

To make matters worse, Tetouan was in ruins by this time, and Kerim knew that the city was within range of naval guns and could not be saved, so he resolutely burned the supplies and buildings that he could not move......

As a result, the remnants of less than 20,000 Spanish soldiers could only sigh and continue to flee north to Tangier, the largest seaport in Western Morocco, Kerim knew the power of the naval guns and did not dare to risk pursuing, let alone wave his army to attack Tangier, but the Spanish army that fled to Tangier was still mired in a nightmare, and Tangier was actually attacked by air? Reif's rebel army has a plane?

It turned out that Krim's surprise attack on Ttouan with disguise tactics was too unexpected, and the garrison at the local airport was disarmed in a daze, so that the rebels took it over smoothly without firing a shot, and at the same time captured a bomber flying regiment that remained in Tetouan to wait for orders because it had not been useful, plus some reconnaissance planes and fighters that returned after completing the mission (also used as reconnaissance aircraft), a total of 104 aircraft were captured......

Only a few of Klim's comrades-in-arms brought back from China can fly planes, or they are amateurs and do not meet the standards of army pilots, while few of the Rif locals in the rebel army can even fire artillery, let alone more technical planes?

But the chance to capture so many planes is really rare, and it would be a pity if they couldn't be taken away and all of them were blown up. So Kerim came up with a bold idea, "Let the Spaniards drive it for us!" ”

Krim sent some dead men to spy on the Spanish pilots on the same plane, forcing them to drive the planes to the territory under their control, it doesn't matter if there is no airfield, the current planes are still very primitive, slow, lightweight, and the taxiing distance required for take-off is also short, as long as there is a solid flat ground the size of a football field can take off and land. By this time, the territory of the Reif rebels had expanded into the plains, and Morocco had a dry climate, so such sites were everywhere.

The Spanish Air Force did not have the same sense of honor as the first-class powers, and Kerim knew the severity and did not force them to fight back immediately, so there were not many crashes that killed their guardians along the way. Kerim eventually acquired as many as 87 aircraft, including 56 bombers, 20 fighters, and 11 reconnaissance planes, but out of an abundance of caution and because it was unnecessary, he did not immediately involve them in the attack on the Spanish army.

At the same time that Klim was fighting a series of battles and annihilating the main forces of the Spanish army, his carefully selected backbone Agu seized the time to brainwash and coerce the captured Spanish air force officers and men through various means, and when the remnants of the Spanish army fled to Tetouan, 62 people had converted to the United States, including 13 pilots, and they had initially met the conditions for carrying out combat missions. Therefore, in order to strike the Spaniards more forcefully, and at the same time get those who are anyway to sign their names, Krim ordered an air raid on the port of Tangier.

There are only 12 planes (one pilot was converted in disguise, and when he couldn't shirk the mission, he chose to self-destruct the plane.) Bombers are not actually enough to pose much of a threat to a port city with tens of thousands of garrisons (plus those remnants of the defeated army), but because the troops in the city see that they are their own planes and are completely defenseless, these bombers can safely descend to a low altitude and select those high-value targets to attack, which is a big loss......

According to the statistics of the military stationed in the city, more than 300 soldiers were killed and more than 1,000 injured in the bombing, and more than 100 civilians were also killed. To make matters worse, the city's warehouses and three incoming transport ships were also destroyed in the air raids, resulting in the loss of supplies, adding to the already poor supply situation. And the fact that their own air force would defect to the enemy caused a psychological impact on the Spaniards, which was even greater than the bad news of the "Anuvare tragedy" at the beginning......
