The once-thriving university town of Madrid is now in ruins due to the war, and most of the soldiers of the Vulture Legion that supported the rebels in Germany are still asleep, including the commander of the Vulture Legion, Hugo Spiel, whom Hitler described as "my fiercest general", and General Wolfram von Richthofen, the chief of staff of the Legion.

At 5:40 in the morning, it was just dawn, Ouyang Yujun's A-19 122 mm cannon raised its muzzle, the surrounding artillery was in full swing to carry out the final preparations before shooting, the T-35 tanks and BA-10 armored vehicles on the starting position lined up neatly, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army checked their ammunition around the tanks and armored vehicles, exuding a strong fighting spirit from the soldiers.

The time gradually came to 5:55, Ouyang Yu looked at his watch, then picked up the phone and ordered loudly: "The attack begins!"

"Boom, boom...... Boom, boom, boom......!"

Ouyang Yu's more than 100 cannons and mortars let out their own roar, and the station of the German vulture regiment was suddenly shrouded in dense and violent explosions, and the German soldiers who had just gotten up and were queuing up to eat breakfast suddenly fell into chaos.

The sudden and intensive shelling caused some casualties to the Vulture Legion, but the well-trained German soldiers quickly recovered from the confusion and hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed to their positions in preparation for the impending attack.

General Spiegel and General Richthofen, who were also eating breakfast, left behind the delicious Spanish breakfast and went to the hidden observation post on the front line under the protection of the guards.

The fierce shelling lasted for half an hour, and the artillery of Ouyang Yu's army plowed the German positions fiercely, and after the shelling was over, the German soldiers came out of the anti-artillery holes under the orders of their respective commanders and waited for the enemy's attack.

Ouyang Yu, who also came to the concealed observation post on his side, looked at the Germans who were waiting on the opposite side from the artillery mirror and smiled treacherously, "Order, shell the enemy's forward positions for another ten minutes." ”

Generally speaking, artillery bombardment of the enemy, because of the suddenness of the first and second rounds of the greatest damage, but in the next shelling because the remaining enemy has been hiding, so the losses caused to the enemy are far less than the first and second rounds, in order to destroy more enemies and reduce their own losses, Ouyang Yu played a trick, after the shelling ended, he did not launch a ground attack immediately, but waited for the Germans to come out of the bunker and then carried out another round of shelling.

"Uh......h Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom, boom, boom......!"

The second round of shelling suddenly launched by Ouyang Yu's army was completely unexpected by the Germans, and gave the vulture army heavy casualties, especially the shells fired by Ouyang Yu's mortars, the high-trajectory ** effectively killed, and the German soldiers hiding in the trenches and bunkers, the German soldiers had no choice but to return to the anti-artillery hole.

General Spiegel said to General Richthofen beside him with a heavy face: "It seems that we have met a very cunning opponent. ”

The second round of shelling lasted only ten minutes, but before the shelling was over, Ouyang Yu's army launched an attack, and when the shelling stopped, Ouyang Yu's tanks were less than 500 meters away from the German position.

Position No. 7 in the university town is an important transportation hub in the university town, stationed more than 100 soldiers of the C company of the third battalion of the vulture regiment, after the second round of artillery bombardment of Ouyang Yu's army, the observers who stayed on the position sent an emergency signal, and the soldiers of the C company immediately ran out of the bunker and entered the position.

Ouyang Yujun's two rounds of artillery bombardment killed more than 20 people in C Company, and more than 10 people were injured and unable to fight, and they were directly reduced by one-third, but the remaining 80 people still threw themselves into the battle without hesitation under the leadership of the company commander, Captain Hoffman.

Four T-35 tanks appeared in the eyes of Captain Hoffmann with green smoke, and the T-35 tank was followed by more than a hundred infantry of Ouyang Yujun, when Captain Hoffman saw the tall T-35 tank for the first time, he couldn't help shouting My God, compared with the tall and mighty T-35 tank, the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks in active service in the German army were simply children's toys, and with a nervous mood, Captain Hoffmann ordered the two PAK37 37 37 mm anti-tank guns around him to prepare to shoot.

"Bang!

The only two PAK37 37mm anti-tank guns of C Company fired tungsten core armor-piercing shells at two T-35 tanks 500 meters away.

"Boom...... Boom......!"

One of the two tungsten core armor-piercing shells missed, but the other accurately hit a T-35 tank, and the upper main turret of the T-35 tank was pierced and soon burst into flames.

The tungsten core armor-piercing shell fired by the PAK37 37 mm anti-tank gun has only 48 mm armor-piercing ability at a distance of 500 meters, but the front armor of the T-35 tank is only 30 mm thick, just like a meat bun, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick and easily penetrated.

Looking at the burning T-35 tank, Captain Hoffman's hanging heart was put down, in his opinion, the T-35 tanks were all like goods, and he was confident that with two PAK37 anti-tank guns, he would destroy all the remaining three, and the remaining infantry would not have to worry.

The remaining three T-35 tanks of Ouyang Yu's army stopped immediately after their companions were destroyed to look for the German anti-tank guns, but the two PAK37 anti-tank guns of C Company were well hidden, and in order not to raise too much dust when firing the guns, the ground was covered with a large canvas in front of the firing position, so the three T-35 tanks did not see where the two PAK37 anti-tank guns of the German army were, but only blindly attacked with tank guns and machine guns, and it was possible to hide the PAK37 anti-tank guns。

"Bang!

The two PAK37 anti-tank guns hidden fired again, still one hit and one shot missed, and the T-35 tank that was hit five hundred meters away was silent for a while and then emitted dense black smoke, and then the ammunition was detonated and there was a huge explosion, and the main turret above was blown up into the sky by the shock wave, tumbling and smashing to the ground.

"Well done, shift positions immediately!"

The two PAK37 anti-tank guns of the German C Company had preset multiple positions, and after two shots, the current positions had been exposed, and the remaining two T-35 tanks of Ouyang Yu's army were turning the turrets, and the machine gun towers had opened fire to indicate the target for the main and auxiliary turrets.

"Boom...... Boom ......!"

As soon as the two PAK37 anti-tank guns were transferred, two 45-mm shells and two 76-mm shells landed accurately on the firing position, which made Captain Hoffman feel a burst of happiness, fortunately, the PAK37 anti-tank gun was light and agile, and the two soldiers could push it around, otherwise they would be destroyed on the position, without the PAK37 anti-tank gun, it would be difficult for him and his C Company to block the attack of Ouyang Yu's army.

Just after the start of the battle, two tanks were lost, which made the commander of the fourth company of the first battalion of the armored regiment of Ouyang Yu's army, Captain Cherlenkov, who was responsible for the attack, feel extremely angry and blamed himself, in order to keep the remaining two T-35 tanks from being chanced, he ordered the four mortars of the fire platoon to fire more than a dozen smoke bombs at the German position, and the German position was suddenly shrouded in white smoke, and the two PAK37 anti-tank guns that had just entered the reserve position were blocked from view.

"Comrades, rush!" the instructor of the fourth company waved the Suomi submachine gun in his hand, and was the first to get up from the ground.

"Ula!" ×N.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Germans could not see clearly, the soldiers of the fourth company shouted slogans and launched a charge.

Although the German soldiers on the position could not see clearly through the smoke, the slogans of the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army were heard very clearly, and they also understood that their enemy had launched a charge, and the well-trained German soldiers were either lying in the trenches or hiding behind the bunkers silently opened the safety of their weapons, waiting for the enemy to send them to the door.

When the soldiers of the fourth company of Ouyang Yu's army approached the German position more than 100 meters, the smoke gradually dispersed, and the German soldiers could already vaguely see the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army who were charging.

"Dada...... Da Da Da ...... Woo woo ......!"

The two MG-34 machine guns of C Company strafed the soldiers of the fourth company in the charge, one left and one right, and the rest of the German soldiers also held 98K rifles and MP-34 submachine guns for burst fire and short bursts.

Because it was a short-handed urban battle, Ouyang Yu equipped his soldiers with a large number of Suomi submachine guns, and the soldiers of the four companies lying on the ground did not fall behind in the slightest in firing with the Germans, and even the German soldiers who hit couldn't raise their heads, plus each squad had a grenadier and a Zeggarev light machine gun, and the firepower of Ouyang Yu's army far exceeded that of the Germans in this period.

The accurate grenadier quickly knocked out the two MG-34 machine guns of the German C Company, and without the suppression of the machine guns, the soldiers of the fourth company got up from the ground, some of them bent down and trotted forward, and some of them stayed in place for cover and suppressive shooting, and soon approached less than 100 meters away from the German position.

"Bang!

The two PAK37 anti-tank guns of C Company fired grenades at the crowded area of the fourth company, but the caliber of the PAK37 anti-tank guns was too small and their power was limited, and only a few Ouyang Yujun soldiers screamed and were blown down.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The shooting of the PAK37 anti-tank gun exposed itself, and it was soon retaliated by Ouyang Yujun's grenadiers, and several grenades fell near the two PAK37 anti-tank guns, and the operating artillerymen were blown up.
