Chapter 214： Tito

Josep Broz-Tito, the man who has been in charge of Yugoslavia for half a century in history, and now Tito is a middle-aged man in his forties.

On May 25, 1892, Tito was born in a poor peasant family in the village of Kumrovec, Croatia.

In 1913, Tito was drafted into the Austro-Hungarian Army and won the runner-up in the fencing competition. He is a strong young man with first-class military quality.

In 1915, Tito fought with the Russian army, wounded and captured and arrived in Russia. As a result, he accepted the baptism of the Russian October Revolution and gained a new faith.

After that, Tito returned to Yugoslavia and served as a member of the Yugoslav District Committee, Secretary of the Zagreb Hardware Trade Union and Secretary of the Zagreb Municipal Party Committee. In 1920 Tito was arrested and imprisoned by the authorities.

Until his release in 1934, he was elected a member of the Politburo of the Yugoslav Communist Party Central Committee and engaged in secret party work. At the beginning of the second year, he went to Moscow as a member of the Balkan Secretariat of the Communist International and a Yugoslav rapporteur.

In December 1937, Tito began to preside over the work of the Yugoslav Communist Party Central Committee.

In Tito’s resume, there is no mention of his fighting in the Spanish Civil War, but in fact, Tito did participate in the Spanish Civil War.

For Tito, coming to Spain is actually to gain experience and qualifications. As long as he stays in Spain for a period of time, after he returns, he will properly become the chief person in charge of the Yugoslav Party.

Unfortunately, Tito had a bad chance. Originally, it was impossible for him to go to Madrid. There was a glorious possibility at any time. Tito came to the field airport in the rear and took a group of troops from Yugoslavia to participate in the defense of the airport. Task. After staying for a while, Tito will be able to return to Yugoslavia honorably.

As a result, the Germans attacked the airport and Tito was beaten up.

Hidden in the forest near Torija, Tito felt extremely depressed.

"Is there any news?" Tito asked from his deputy Ivan Goshniak, who had just returned from a cave.

Ivan’s face was filled with excitement: "Yes, there is news that after our air base was taken, the German Condor Corps stationed here. Although the leader used a pseudonym, I still knew him. His real name is Cyric, that is the notorious German!"

After Ivan went out, he found news about the nearby air force base. This news made everyone very excited.

"If we touched in and quietly killed that Cyric, we would have done a great job!" Tito said.

Merit! Tito really wants to prove that he is definitely not a vase through a beautiful battle, he is here to fight!

Ivan shook his head: "No, they are too tightly guarded! These Germans are all submachine guns in their hands, and there are tanks guarding the periphery of the airport. There are even military dogs in every corner. We can't touch them. ."

It's not easy to get in. The Germans succeeded in a sneak attack because the Republican Army's vigilance was too low. In contrast, the Germans were already prepared and were quite vigilant.

"We have to find more people!" Tito said: "The people who were broken up that night, not just our people, there must be more people, we have to gather more people to have hope. We still need to find The informant, if he can wait until Cyric is out and ambushed him on the road, it will be easier to succeed."

Tito gritted his teeth, ambushed Cyric, and killed Cyric on the Spanish battlefield. This idea is his current goal!

………

"Buzz, buzz." The motorcyclist twisted the accelerator, and at the same time, his legs lifted up, and water splashed below.

Huelva, a small river near Muer, is now in the dry season, the river is very shallow, motorcycles can pass by without any effort!

On the motorcycle, Adenauer's eyes were looking forward vigilantly. As scouts, they must first spot possible enemy situations!

However, the front is very calm, small country, with plumes of smoke, calm and peaceful.

"No problem, you can move forward." Adenauer said.

Behind them, a few kilometers away, tanks drove up rumblingly, and their tracks rolled over the water of the creek and successfully reached the opposite side.

The mountain area finally passed, ahead, a horse Pingchuan!

The hatch of a Leopard 2 tank opened, and Guderian got out of it. He looked at the fields in the distance and was extremely excited.

Already out of the mountain!

"Master, let's just smash our anger and rush across the Ebro River tonight." Kurt suggested to Guderian.

Guderian nodded: "How about our fuel consumption?"

For long-distance raids, the most important thing to pay attention to is fuel! Mechanized troops must have sufficient fuel!

Therefore, the First Armored Division is equipped with a large number of 10-ton Ford all-wheel drive trucks. These trucks will continuously provide logistical supplies when charging on their side.

After the last replenishment, the truck returned, reloaded with fuel and went to www.novelhall.com~ As the distance continues to increase, the round-trip time will also increase.

"Don't worry, our fuel is enough to get us back to Zaragoza in circles," Kurt said.

Using diesel engine as the fuel of the tank greatly increases the stroke of the tank! Can run hundreds of kilometers away!

This time, for the long-distance march, all the Panther tanks have two additional fuel tanks at the rear to further increase the fuel carrying capacity.

"Well, tonight, cross the Ebro River!" Guderian said: "Tomorrow, we will recover Zaragoza!"

Punch, punch, punch! The essence of blitzkrieg is to use the mobility of mechanized equipment to travel long distances and appear in places unexpected by the enemy!

Especially when it comes to the plains, it is simply a paradise for tanks!

Jinto, in the history of the Spanish Civil War, the famous Battle of Jinto broke out here, and it is also a place where repeated struggles and battles have occurred.

But now, Jinto is an undefended place, and there is no army stationed here!

All the troops near Zaragoza were mobilized to the valley side, ready to ambush the German armored forces. They were standing guard, but they did not expect the Germans to appear from behind them.

Their rear is very empty!

"Crunch!" He ran to the other side of the bridge in one breath, Conrad stepped on the brake, and Adenauer jumped off with a stride on the sidecar.

The Ebro River is the second longest river in the Iberian Peninsula and the longest river entirely in Spain. It has now reached the lower reaches and the river is open. If the bridge is not occupied, it is difficult to get through the mechanized forces.

"Quickly, protect the bridge!" Right here, the leading reconnaissance troops, one after another, drove over, and they quickly established a bridgehead position, waiting for the follow-up troops to pass.
