The plane carrying the Ming military expedition landed smoothly at the Amprat Airport in Barcelona, just as the sun was setting, and the soft sunset made the whole western sky flushed.

Located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the east, Barcelona is Spain's largest port city and trade, industrial and economic center. It is also a famous tourist destination with Mediterranean scenery and a historical and cultural city.

A few days before the arrival of the military expedition, three cargo ships that had set sail from Guangzhou at the beginning of the year also sailed to this port, unloading a large number of weapons and equipment.

The entire expedition consisted of 19 people, including nine from the Army, four from the Air Force, and two from the Navy, in addition to the four officers from the Military Department.

This civil war is destined to have no naval battles worthy of reference, so the Ming Navy is not concerned, except for Zhou Changfeng, who represents the Marine Corps, the other person is also a naval aviation unit rather than a ship unit.

After resting for a night in the hotel where he stayed, early the next morning, He Yao, the chief of staff of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, who was in charge of the inspection of the matter, gathered everyone and assigned tasks one by one.

The arrival of Ming-made weapons and equipment is being distributed one after another, and some of them are tasked with accompanying them to the IRA training units to record their performance.

The other part went to the headquarters of the Republican Army in each city and decided to inspect the mode of operation and tactics at their own discretion.

In this way, among the people present, in the end, Zhou Changfeng was left with one person who had not yet been assigned.

He Yao was quite hesitant, he felt that this boy from the Marine Corps could go anywhere, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to go anywhere.

So he simply decided to ask Zhou Changfeng himself, "Do you have any ideas?" Let's hear it. ”

So much autonomy?

The latter was slightly stunned, and then replied: "I heard that there is a fierce battle between the two sides on the Guadalajara side, and I think it is better there." ”

He Yao secretly sighed that this kid lived up to his name, and he didn't hesitate to pick dangerous places. He bowed his head and said, "It's not good for you to go alone...... Chen Guangyun! ”

"In!" A young man with round glasses stepped forward.

"You go with Zhou Changfeng."

"Yes."

"There are several divisions and brigades on both sides gathered in that place," He Yao's gaze jumped back and forth on the two of them, and he earnestly instructed, "You two should pay extra attention to their own safety." ”

The Ming military expedition was not coming to Iberia for vacation, so after assigning the task, everyone quickly prepared to go to their respective destinations.

Zhou Changfeng's impression of his temporary partner Chen Guangyun is just two words - obscene!

Short, small-eyed, and glasses...... Although judging people by their appearance is too one-sided, Zhou Changfeng feels that this guy's inner life is also not good, and he will be disgusted when he looks at it.

His uniqueness lies in his proficiency in ordnance recognition, and the weapons and equipment he knows by heart can be four digits, and he can identify them at a glance from a distance, or by comparing a photo that is not clear, which can be called human flesh search software.

And this is also the fundamental reason why he can be promoted all the way to the Daming Air Force, it can be said that he is the treasure of the reconnaissance aircraft unit.

"As of now, the two sides are still tugging at each other on this long front, and the winner has not yet been decided, what do you think, Chief Zhou?"

"On the southern front, the rebels have captured Córdoba and Malaga. Next, if they want to find a way to break the current deadlock, they will definitely have to pick a spot in the middle line to break through. ”

"Isn't that over there in Guadalajara? The rebels are known to have two brigades and two divisions of the Italian Intervention Army, with a total strength of more than 30,000 men. ”

"The Republican Army has also put in reserves, and two intercontinental brigades have arrived one after another."

On the train from Barcelona to Tarancon, Chen Guangyun and Zhou Changfeng have been discussing the current situation.

Guadalajara's importance, 50 kilometres northeast of Madrid, is the gateway to the latter.

Prior to this, the IRA had struggled to withstand the rebels' offensive from the west towards Madrid. Now, however, enemy forces, dominated by the Italian intervention forces, are attacking Madrid from the northeast.

As a result, Guadalajara became the inevitable battleground.

About half a month ago, after giving the Republican army a certain tactical deception, the Italian army took it by surprise and launched a surprise attack.

They had the advantage of strength and weaponry, and the Italian troops of two divisions managed to break through the defensive line set by the Republican army, which was caught off guard, and advanced 30 kilometers in depth, occupying more than a dozen villages and towns.

At the same time, the Nationalist army made a detour on the flanks to cope with the frontal attack of the Italian army.

In the face of the menacing enemy army, the Republican Army also quickly made deployments, sent a brigade reserve, and two international brigades that had just been formed for a short time were also quickly transferred.

The resulting mud caused by the melting of snow in the spring greatly affected the continuation of the Italian offensive, and not only the tanks and trucks were often stuck in the mud, but also the runways of the field airfields, and the air force attendance was significantly reduced.

In this way, on a front of about 20 kilometers around Guadalajara, the Republican side managed to stabilize its position and block the enemy's offensive.

However, how can the other party easily admit defeat?

After arriving in Tarancon, Zhou Changfeng and Chen Guangyun took the pass and documents specially approved by the Republican Army Command, changed into a three-axle six-wheeled heavy truck produced by the German company Forn, and headed north.

Naturally, valuable capacity cannot be wasted, so in addition to the two "Oriental Guests", this truck also contains more than a dozen boxes of No. 2 tank load wheels, leaf springs, spark plugs and other spare parts.

The distance between the two places is only about 60 kilometers, and in later generations, it was a matter of stepping on the accelerator for a few minutes and dozens of minutes, but now, the truck is wobbly all the way and bumps for ten hours.

The car shook suddenly, as if it had rushed into the field from the road? The drowsy Zhou Changfeng suddenly lost his sleepiness and looked out vigilantly.

Sure enough, the driver actually drove off the road - because a series of vehicle wreckage was visible ahead, dozens of corpses were scattered along the road about 100 meters long, and some militiamen with guns were organizing civilians to clean up the scene.

Looking at the smoking wreckage and bloody corpses, and then at the craters, it is not difficult to imagine what happened here before.

Zhou Changfeng saw that there was no shortage of civilian cars in those destroyed vehicles, and most of the corpses on the ground were civilians.

Seeing that the heavy truck went down to the roadside field and wanted to detour, a militiaman quickly ran over and stopped in front of the car, beckoning: "Hey! Stop, stop, stop! Help pull these scrap cars aside! ”

The bearded driver directly refused, he raised his hand outside the window and shook it, "No, no, the front line needs the goods I pulled, it's very urgent!" ”

The suspicious militia circled around the truck and was immediately stunned.

Oriental faces? Two Chinese? Is this a much-needed "cargo" at the front?

"It's not them, it's the cargo, it's the parts of the tank!"

After being entangled for a while, the militia did not stop again.

When the drive was far away, the driver turned to the window and explained in rusty French: "My wife and son are still waiting for me, and I can't break my trust again this time." ”

Let's see if we can save up some manuscripts in the past two days, so you can add more at the beginning of the month.
