Chapter 122

"Line up! Come on! Everyone, stand up A German officer stood on the dock and gave orders to his soldiers.

In front of him, hundreds of German soldiers in greyish green Wehrmacht uniforms stood up, carrying tents and all kinds of equipment, carrying their Mauser 98K rifles, and slowly began to line up.

"To the right! Soldiers! We're going to Spain, where we're going to send the worst Communists to hell! You will be baptized by the true fire of war over there! I don't have much to say! " The one eyed major was wearing a black one eyed cloth and looked a little grim.

While he said, he stretched out his hand and began to say "first! Lower your body! Who lies low, who survives! Don't stand up straight in the battlefield, it's a matter of idiocy! I hope you all come back alive! "

Then he stretched out his second finger: "second, try not to exaggerate your achievements! Because I will believe in these achievements, and next time I will leave more difficult tasks to these troops with excellent achievements! "

Then he looked at the nervous soldiers and held out his third finger: "third! Make way for bullets and shells! Unless you're more anxious than them. "

All the soldiers were stunned, and then burst into laughter. It was obvious that the tension before departure had been swept away. The major nodded and said, "the transport ship is an Italian destroyer! Be polite when you go up! Don't throw up! Pick up the vomit bag in the designated cabin! Seasick people come to the deck to breathe! The next time is not easy for you! Remember? "

"Remember!" All the soldiers answered with a smile.

The major glanced at the soldiers in front of him and gave the last order: "all listen to the order! Get on the boat! Let's go

"Which transporter is this today?" An Italian officer looked at the German soldiers boarding the ship and asked the adjutant beside him, "the Germans are really bleeding."

"Sir! This is their fourth ship today. There are two destroyers of our navy to help them transport personnel. There are also two German Hercules class transport ships, equipped with their tanks and armored vehicles. It is said that there are many light machine guns... And millions of bullets. "

"It's said that the plane has been transported. It's covered with army green canvas and escorted by the SS. No one is allowed to get close to it. That's a mystery The officer exclaimed, "look at their uniform. It's really handsome."

"I can't envy you." The adjutant sighed: "I heard that the leader Mussolini came back from Germany, and he admired Germany very much. Even his residence deliberately imitated the residence of the head of state in Berlin."

Akado transported the troops of two divisions to Spain. One is the newly established 8th armored division, and the other is the newly established 2nd Armored Division of the SS. Both divisions are equipped with a large number of armored vehicles and tanks. These two divisions are also responsible for testing akado's theory of Blitzkrieg in the Spanish battlefield. Of course, they also test the two newly established armored divisions with actual combat.

Over the past few days, more than 30 ME-109 fighters have been transported to Spain. The Germans hope that they can completely dominate the Spanish sky with this new weapon. Under the guarantee of absolute air supremacy, they will use German tanks as assault forces to completely tear up the defense line of the Spanish Republican Army.

However, the Republican Army was not vegetarian either. On the day the German army arrived in Spain, they launched a large-scale offensive and pushed the front line to the door of the Franco legion, that is, near Granada.

The Franco Legion lost many areas in a row. With the cooperation of Soviet allies, the Republican Army seized the local air supremacy and took advantage of the lack of preparation of the Franco Legion.

On the silent battlefield, under a well-designed camouflage, a black muzzle is pointing to the Republican battlefield not far away. There are two German snipers with black charcoal on their faces.

They have been waiting here for more than an hour. They have let go of two Republican soldiers, and they have not shot a Republican corporal who is smoking in the corner. What they have to wait for is a big man worthy of their hands. For them, at least one Lieutenant should be killed at a time.

Finally let them wait until the opportunity, a Republican Army officer in officer's clothing finally climbed up the position, he looked through the telescope for a while, and then carefully went into the trench, but soon, he changed his position and leaned out half of the body.

German snipers don't want to waste such an opportunity, "bang!" The bullet instantly flew over a distance of more than 100 meters, hit a Republican lieutenant in the head, and splashed blood on the face of the soldiers following him.

Without celebration or hesitation, the two German snipers crawled back to the side of the trench, then turned over and jumped back into the trench. Then the two men, armed with sniper rifles, cat waist through the trench, and moved nearly 200 meters until they found a company headquarters and got in.

There was a staff sergeant boiling hot soup with potatoes and vegetable leaves. It didn't look delicious, but it was steaming hot. The two snipers leaned their guns against the wall of the headquarters, pulled a wooden stool and sat down. They were not polite to the Spanish company commander. They opened their lunch boxes and began to spoon the hot soup in the small pot.

"What did you get?" The Spanish company commander asked two German soldiers in puzzling German. The two German soldiers burst into laughter and showed their white teeth against the background of their black faces. One of the two snipers did not speak, but smashed the potatoes in the soup with a spoon; One of them pointed to the sky while drinking soup. The retaliatory fire of the Republican Army started, and more than a dozen shells fell from the position several hundred meters away. The place where the two German snipers were hiding just now was also hit by a shell, and the smoke billowed“ Seventeen shells! The officer is not small, at least a company commander. " The Spanish soldier said to himself, then pointed to the hot soup and walked out: "you continue to drink soup. I'll come back after a meeting in the battalion." Whether the two Germans understood or not, they left their headquarters. Two German snipers ate some hot potatoes and cabbage, patted their stomachs with satisfaction, stood up and picked up the sniper gun from the wall. The older sniper snorted and laughed: "Spanish, it's time to cook soup. How many are we“ Third today. " The young sniper said with a smile: "the Fuehrer said they only play football! I didn't see it anyway. I heard they were won by us last time“ Hurry up. It's said that there are many monsters who have been trained in the Soviet Union. We can't be much worse than them. " The old sniper cat waist out of the company headquarters, the young man nodded, also followed out“ Sir! In the past three days, we have lost 179 front-line commanders. Yesterday, I was forced to appoint a battalion commander, four company commanders and a full 52 platoon commanders. " A major general of the Republican Army helplessly reported to his boss: "this kind of fragmented war makes us very uncomfortable."“ Near Granada, our attack was stopped by the rebels Another officer also said with a dejected face: "there, we were tenaciously resisted by a well-trained army. They even launched a local counterattack. We lost more than a dozen tanks and about 400 soldiers were killed."“ They are fighting back in the direction of Cordoba. " A staff officer pointed to the map and then said, "they used about 20 new tanks here. According to the analysis of the intelligence department and the comparison of the pictures from the Soviet Union, we can be sure that this is the No.2 tank of Germany, equipped with 20 mm caliber rapid fire guns, and the fire force is very strong."“ We have lost our position in the suburbs of Cordoba. If we lose this city that we have just recaptured, it will have a great impact on our morale. " The first major general said, "it looks like the Germans have joined the war."“ Just like many Soviet comrades in our army, they also found help! It's not good news for us that the Germans are among the rebels! "“ It's really not good news! Gentlemen A staff officer went into the conference room and pressed a piece of information on the table: "just got the news that a new fighter appeared over Cordoba. This new fighter was very fast. It hit one of our reconnaissance planes, but the pilot succeeded in parachuting over our position, so we got this valuable information." After a pause, he continued: "the offensive and defensive war in Cordoba started an hour ago. The rebels attacked the city under the cover of German tanks. Our army is fighting back tenaciously in the city, but the situation is not optimistic, because with the help of the German, we have suffered a great loss."“ You can't give up Cordoba! We have to stay there until the last minute! If we lose there, there will be a hole in our defence. " Said the major general, frowning“ Give orders! Mobilize all forces that can be mobilized to arm the militia! Contact the allies of the Soviet Union, we need more tanks and fighters, please send their personnel to fight in person, at least the air force, to help us win the air supremacy. " One of the highest generals on the scene thought for a long time, and finally gave the order: "all the troops stay where they are! Waiting for reinforcements. "
