The No. 4 tank in front is only responsible for the resistance on the street. The No. 2 tank behind all faces the muzzles against the buildings on both sides, and the same is true for the coaxial machine guns on the turret. If a government soldier wants to come out of the window and shoot, he will be instantly eliminated by the machine gun or shell. Li Mo just throws grenades into the room along the street.

Li Mo was not in a hurry to advance slowly, while pouring ammunition into the buildings on both sides, such as bullets, shells, grenades, flamethrowers, etc., all weapons were used. Santander's defenders had a very poor fighting will. After the defenders in front were wiped out a few times, the defenders behind were panicked when they saw Li Mo and their mighty tanks in front. They either collapsed or surrendered, which made Li Mo not have much chance of real fighting.

An hour later, Li Mo led his troops to break through and lose almost two kilometers, and the prisoners also captured hundreds of them. These were all second-rate Spanish local troops, simply put, citizens who took off their civilian clothes and put on military uniforms.

When a square appeared in front of Li Mo and the others, the resistance of the government troops suddenly became tenacious. On the right side of the square was a majestic palace, with several sandbag defense positions arranged on the square. There are two relatively sturdy seven-story steel and concrete buildings at the link between Edward Street and the square. Judging from the external structure, they should be private houses, so such buildings are not easy to attack.

Several huge cement piers were also arranged on the streets of Edward Street. These cement piers were of course used to prevent tank assaults. This thing really works now. Sometimes simple things often play a huge role.

There is also a line of defense behind the cement pier, of course, it is piled up by sandbags, and three 37mm anti-tank guns were also arranged. In 1937, except for the German No. 4 tank, there was no front armor in the world that could withstand 37mm anti-tank guns, so 37mm anti-tank guns became the standard for most. Unfortunately, the Spanish government forces met the No. 4 tank developed by Germany, and the 37mm anti-tank gun was powerless.

When the No. 4 tank was "rumbling" slowly advanced to 300 meters away from the cement pier, the government's anti-tank guns opened fire. This time, in order to achieve the effect of one-hit kill, the government army hit all three anti-tank guns to shoot the No. 4 tank in the middle.

"Boom...boom..."

Three guns rang out in an instant, and the front armor of the No. 4 tank in the middle was accurately hit by three armor-piercing bombs. The violent explosion formed a huge shock wave in front of the No. 4 tank. The moving No. 4 tank paused slightly backwards. The No. 4 tank was already a medium tank, and the power of the 37mm anti-tank gun was still small. It did not penetrate the No. 4 tank at all, but only made three white grooves into the front armor.

The three No. 4 tanks were not to be outdone and fired counterattacks one after another. The coaxial machine guns on the turret also began to shoot violently at the government's sandbag defense positions. The government soldiers behind the sandbags also began to shoot fiercely at the assaulted tanks with various weapons in their hands. Various bullets hit the tanks "clang" and "clang". Although this random shooting cannot hurt the No. 4 tank, it is very easy to produce jumps and stray bullets. Two German soldiers following behind the tank were hit by stray bullets and died in the yellow spring. The stray bullets and rifles were deformed because the warheads hit hard objects. Such bullets were more lethal when they bounced into a person's body, and even if they hit the abdomen, they could not be saved.

All the windows facing the street of the seven-story civil buildings on both sides of the cement pier were also opened. One or two government soldiers suddenly appeared in each window, holding various weapons to shoot at the infantry behind the tank, because these government soldiers could attack the German soldiers who were slightly farther from behind.

"Tada...Tada...Ahhhhhh!"

"Hurry...get close to the tank...I'll fight to death."

More than a dozen German soldiers were killed in an instant, and Li Mo was so cautious and suffered such a large casualties, and he was immediately furious.

The three No. 4 tanks in front specifically attacked the enemy in front, and the remaining tanks behind them were dealing with two seven-story civil buildings. Of course, these civil buildings could not resist the bombardment of tank guns. One window and one window were named by tank guns. As long as the windows hit by tank guns, one or two government troops would definitely be blown out and the bodies fell on Edward Street.

At a distance of 300 meters, tanks actually have a complete advantage. Even the grenades of the government forces are still not at the edge of the German tank, let alone the things in the explosives package. This is also the reason why the government forces defending Santander lack combat experience. If they are commanded by veterans, they will definitely put the enemy tanks to about 50 meters to start fighting. Whether it is a suicide squad or other methods, the German tanks will definitely not be able to survive, but unfortunately they started attacking in advance.

The battle became fierce in an instant. Li Mo also followed the back of the runway tank and took out a telescope to observe the defense of the government army carefully. It was not that Li Mo didn't want to fight, but that the effective range of the P35 in his hand was only 200 meters, and fighting was also a waste of ammunition. It would be better to observe the enemy carefully and command the battle calmly:

"Lt. Otto, immediately order the leading tank to stop advancing and shoot on the spot."

Li Mo gave the order that he would never go over Otto and directly command Otto's tanks. Over-level command not only made the first-level command disgust, but also easily caused various mistakes. The tank combat should be left to professional tank commanders to decide!

Otto of course understood what Li Mo meant, which was to take advantage of the tank's long-distance attack advantage, so that the enemy's infantry could not break through the three hundred meters of distance and rushed to the tank, not to mention that there were infantry following behind the tank! The tank had dead spots for shooting, and the infantry behind were living people. How could the enemy's suicide squad easily rush to the side of their tank?

"Dada...boom..."

Bullets suddenly flew everywhere at the entrance of Edward Square, and gunpowder filled with smoke. Both sides were shooting desperately, but the government forces did not cause much damage to Li Mo's tank. Their 37mm anti-tank gun was fired in a few shots with tanks. The frontal sandbag defense position was also broken by tank guns. Next to the sandbag were countless government troops' bodies, and their blood flowed along the streets. The battlefield was so cruel. This is the gap between technology and national strength, and no one could change it in a short time.

"Doudu...Doududu..."

Seeing that the government army was about to be unable to withstand it, the government army suddenly blew the charge. Countless government soldiers who had not died in battle rushed out of the sandbag and rushed towards Li Mo and the others. Some were holding rifles, some were holding machine guns, some were holding explosives bags, and some were tied up a cluster grenade. Even the doors of two civil buildings were opened, and the hidden government soldiers inside flocked out.

"For the motherland...for freedom...for the rush!!!"
