The commander of the T-35 tank No. 233 of Ouyang Yu's army, Sergeant Andreevich is leaning out of the main turret to command the battle, and the tank, especially the Soviet-style tank, has a very poor vision, in order to better find the enemy to destroy the target that threatens the tank, most of the tank commanders of the Ouyang Yu army command the battle in this way.

"Note that at ten o'clock the enemy was spotted on the second floor, the third turret (the machine-gun turret in front of the hull) suppressed the fire, and the first turret (the main turret) was on the grenade. ”

"Dadada......!"

The machine gun turret in front of the left side of the hull of the No. 233 tank fired at the second floor of a house not far away, and the main turret on it slowly turned.

"Boom......!"

Two mutilated corpses of German soldiers were blown out of the window by the shock wave of the shell explosion.

After destroying the enemy, tanks No. 233 continued to advance under the protection of the surrounding infantry.

The current time is more than two o'clock in the afternoon of November 14, 1936, from 5:55 in the morning to the present, Ouyang Yu's army has occupied half of the university town of Madrid, although it is still attacking, but because of the shrinkage of the German army, the speed of advance has dropped a lot, and Ouyang Yu's change of tactics is also one of the main reasons for the decline in the speed of advancement.

In order to reduce the loss of tanks and armored vehicles, Ouyang Yu ordered the troops to clean up the houses around the road, and strictly ordered the armored vehicles not to exceed the infantry line when the infantry did not clean up the surrounding houses, so a large number of Ouyang Yu's T-35 tanks and BA-10 armored vehicles had to crawl slowly on the road.

On the large map of Ouyang Yu's headquarters, many small red arrows representing Ouyang Yu's army basically formed a straight line, squeezing the blue German army to the west of the university town, in fact, Ouyang Yu made a huge mistake in tactical command.

She cared too much about the loss of armored vehicles, so that the mobile armored vehicles became the mobile artillery batteries of the infantry crawling on the turtle, so that the Germans could retreat calmly when the battle was lost, although they lost a large number of positions, but on the contrary, they strengthened the density of troops, making it more difficult for Ouyang Yu's army to attack.

In fact, Ouyang Yu shouldn't care too much about the loss of armored vehicles, at the beginning, he had to give full play to his powerful mobility ability, let the armored troops rush into the German defense line, divide and surround them, and then destroy them one by one, but unfortunately, the best time has been missed, and her troops can only fight with the Germans now.

Tank No. 233 and dozens of accompanying infantry came to a corner, and the accompanying infantry carefully inspected the houses on both sides of the road, but did not notice the movement of a three-story building in front of it.

"Dada......!"

More than a dozen Germans in ambush in the building controlled two MG-34 machine guns and fired a rain of bullets at the infantry of Ouyang Yu's army, more than a dozen Ouyang Yu's infantry were shot down on the spot, and the rest reacted quickly to find cover nearby, some hid in the houses on both sides, and some dragged their wounded comrades to hide behind the No. 233 tank.

"When!when!when......!"

A few bullets were fired at the main turret of No. 233, and the frightened Sergeant Andreevich retracted his head into the conning tower, but it was only a few seconds before he poked half of his head out again when no more bullets were fired.

"On the second floor of a three-story building directly ahead, grenade fire!"

"Boom! boom!"

The main turret and the secondary turret on the right side of the hull of tank No. 233 opened fire almost simultaneously, and a 76-mm grenade and a 45-mm grenade hit both sides of the building in the front corner, and two large holes were blown out in the wall of the building, one large and one small.

"Dada...... Da da ......!"

The juxtaposition machine guns on the main turret of tank No. 233 and the machine gun turret on the left side of the front of the hull opened fire together towards the large hole in the building, and the Germans in the building, who were lucky enough to survive, were suppressed and unable to move under the heavy fire of the two machine guns, until the other two grenades fired by No. 233 sent them into the sky.

"Keep going. ”

Having eliminated the enemy in the building, tanks No. 233 and the infantry advanced again, the wounded soldiers were sent down, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were left in place and disposed of only after the battle was over.

In a clothing store not far from the corner of the street, a PAK37 37 mm anti-tank gun was placed inside, and four German soldiers controlled the anti-tank gun, aiming at the corner of the street and waiting for the enemy tank to appear.

A few minutes later, tanks No. 233 appeared around the corner, and the German artillery squad leader lurking in the clothing store gave the order to fire.

"Knock...... Be ......!"

The armor-piercing shell fired by the PAK37 anti-tank gun was ejected because the angle was too large.

Sergeant Andreevich and all the soldiers in tank No. 233 were all frightened into a cold sweat by the flying shell, and Sergeant Andreevich stammered and shouted: "At three o'clock, grenade, launch! Launch! Hurry up and launch me!"

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

Unfortunately, without waiting for the turret of No. 233 to turn around, the PAK37 anti-tank gun, which had a fast loading speed, fired again, and this time the No. 233 tank was not so lucky, the armor-piercing shell penetrated the weak armor under the main turret, and the shells in the main turret of the No. 233 tank were detonated, and none of Sergeant Andreevich and his ten crew members survived.

The battle on the first day gradually ended as the sun set, Ouyang Yu successfully recaptured half of the university town, but the price paid was not a lot, after a hurried dinner, Ouyang Yu looked at the loss report that was sent to him.

In the battle on the 14th, Ouyang Yu's army lost 41 T-35 tanks, 27 BA-10 armored vehicles, 877 soldiers killed, and 1,152 wounded, of which more than half were seriously wounded, that is to say, half of her 4,000 ground troops were killed or wounded in just one day, which shows the cruelty and difficulty of the battle.

However, the German side was also not having a good time, and the commander of the Vulture Legion, General Spieer, was also reading the casualty report, and the Vulture Legion, of 3,000 people, had 614 killed and 755 wounded in the battle on the 14th, and all the anti-tank guns were destroyed, and there were less than 20 anti-tank guns left.

General Spiegel smiled bitterly and threw the battle damage report aside, picked up the phone at hand, and a few hours later, the vulture army, which had already suffered more than half of the casualties, quietly withdrew from the position in the night, and Ouyang Yu didn't find out until the next day.

The news that Ouyang Yu's army had successfully repelled the German vulture army and occupied all the university towns soon reached the headquarters of the Republican Army, and the commander of the Republican Army, General Miaha, personally ran to Ouyang Yu's headquarters to congratulate her.

"Comrade Ouyang, you and your troops have worked hard, and the Spanish people will always remember your sweat and blood!"

As soon as they met, General Mi Yaha held Ouyang Yu's hands tightly, and said good things about not asking for money with an excited expression, Ouyang Yu's hands were painful to be held by this old man, but General Mi Yaha didn't see Ren holding them vigorously, until he was reminded that he blushed and let go of Ouyang Yu.

"Comrade Ouyang, on behalf of the Comintern and the International Column, I award you the Medal for Heroic Battle. ”

It was Garneau, the commander of the international column, who spoke, and he took a red five-pointed star-shaped medal from the political commissar of the international column next to him and put it in Ouyang Yu's hand.

In this Madrid Defense Battle, the Comintern sent a total of three international column brigades, plus Ouyang Yu's four brigades of more than 20,000 people, Ouyang Yu is nominally under the command of General Miaha, in fact, according to her identity, her troops belong to the command of Commander Garneau, because of the system, Ouyang Yu arrived one step first, and the three brigades only arrived today.

After some greetings, everyone sat down, and Commander Garneau asked about Ouyang Yu's loss, and Ouyang Yu presented the battle report to Commander Garneau and explained it to everyone.

Commander Garneau put down the report and said: "Since the losses of your department are very large, then go down and rest, and the university town will be taken over by the 2nd Brigade." ”

Where is Ouyang Yu willing to withdraw, she will not be able to earn merit points if she withdraws, "Comrade commander, my troops and I can still fight, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, every force needs to be used on the tip of the knife, how can I watch other comrades studying abroad and stay in the safe rear to rest? So I hope to continue to stay in the existing position and fight the enemy!"

Ouyang Yu's words made Commander Garneau and others feel very pleased, Madrid is currently surrounded by several times the enemy, and Ouyang Yu's troops can't rest for a few days even if they go down to rest, so at Ouyang Yu's insistence, Commander Garno dispelled the idea of letting Ouyang Yu's army go down to rest and recuperate, ordered her to continue to defend the existing position, and sent a team of reinforcements to her.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, Li Fengning, commander of the 50th Column of the 195th Division of the Republic Army, led the team to report to you!"

Standing in front of Ouyang Yu was a Chinese man with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, but wearing a Spanish Republican Army uniform, this Li Fengning spoke broken French, so that Ouyang Yu didn't understand what he said, but he still understood the general meaning.

"Please take a moment, Battalion Commander Li. Ouyang Yu said in Mandarin: "Thank you and your warriors for coming. ”

Ouyang Yu's Mandarin surprised Li Fengning, and then showed a smile like seeing a relative, "I didn't expect that Comrade Brigade Commander was also Chinese, I thought you were Japanese or Cao County." (At that time, there were indeed quite a few Japanese and Cao Xian people in the international column.) ）

Ouyang Yu also showed a gentle smile and said: "Yes, one hundred percent of the Chinese people, when you come to me, you are equivalent to your own army, wait for you and your people to get equipment, eat something and rest first, there are still many battles waiting for us." ”

"Yes!"
