Chapter 171 Must be better than the Noodle Army
"The battle in Badajoz was going on very fiercely." In the southern air base, Cirick listened to the report coming from the front.
The Italian Noodle Army, together with the National Army from the north and south, were attacking Badajoz, and the Republican Army also fought tenaciously.
(The rebels don't sound nice, we are just, we have changed to the National Army, and the government army is the Republican Army.)
"General Royata asked us to take off more fighter planes and go to bomb Badajoz." Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen said to Cialek.
"The next batch of bombs has not arrived yet, and we lack ammunition now." Cialick said: "He also has fighter jets, so let them use their own fighter jets."
The last time I fought a beautiful battle, it stimulated the Italians, so the Italians really hoped to take Badajoz outright, so that air support was needed.
General Loyata is the commander-in-chief of the Italian Interfering Army. Now he personally commands the battle.
Unfortunately, Cialek did not cooperate.
Cialik took off a few He51s in scattered manner, and brought a small bomb of 110 kilograms, and threw it back.
This made the Italians quite upset.
Cialek simply refused this request. Because there were no bombs! Last time, the air strikes at the International Column's airport, they bombed all their planes and used up all the bombs here on their own. Now, they are waiting for the bombs to be brought from the rear. If there are no bombs, how can I dispatch the plane?
So Cialek avoided the war and protected himself here, watching the Italians, the National Army and the Republican Army fight to the death.
Of course there are bombs in the arsenal, but Cialek is reluctant to waste it, he has to save it for the next time!
Moreover, only by allowing the Italians to fight fiercely can we attract the attention of the defenders and constantly mobilize other places, including Merida's guards, can our troops have a more stable guarantee for this lightning raid.
The blitzkrieg tactic was a tactic developed by Guderian and his men in the Libyan desert, based on new tanks. This time, it was the first practice of this tactic. It can only succeed, not fail!
The fierce battle lasted for two days, and on the morning of the third day, Cialick finally decided to take action.
The entire base was busy again, with fighter jets full of oil and bombs ready to take off. At the same time, a large number of tank troops gathered on the other side of the base.
If you compare the cute Italian tank here, you can find that it is simply a toy for a child.
The Black Panther Type 2 tank, this simplified Black Panther tank, has begun mass production in Germany. Krupp, Henschel, etc., and several companies are producing it. The annual output exceeds 1,700 Black Panther 2 tanks, and there are also 300 Black Panther 1 tanks.
At the suggestion of Cialek, after the new official took office, the output of tanks would definitely be higher, and with that 600 tons of gold, no constraints would be left.
There are turrets with inclined angles, six pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels, and a high 50mm tank gun. In front of each tank, there is a crew of five energetic tank soldiers.
This time, three tank companies came, each with 12 tanks. In addition to the battalion, there were 38 vehicles in total, and none of them were lost. They were all in the best condition after maintenance!
Behind the Tank Company, there were three armored grenadier companies. They were not on a half-tracked 251 armored transport vehicle, but a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!
A few years ago, Cialek visited the United States and signed an agreement with Ford to set up a car factory in Germany. While producing ordinary vehicles, he studied vehicles with a three-axis full-drive ten-ton off-road chassis.
After two years of research and development, this truck that uses the V6 diesel engine provided by Maybach was finally finalized. The military placed an order of 10,000 vehicles in the first batch and entered the mass production stage.
While mass-producing this off-road truck, technicians also began to improve this chassis.
Add a steering shaft to make it a four-axis and eight-wheel drive. At the same time, the distances between each wheel are equal, giving the best off-road performance.
The engine is still in front, so that the precious space behind is freed up. In this way, the back becomes a space for accommodating an infantry squad, and a turret can be installed on it.
This infantry fighting vehicle was named Sd Kfz 232 heavy armored vehicle. After it was finalized, it was praised by the troops and entered the army with a large number of equipment. At the same time, various weapons can be installed on it and converted into various professional vehicles.
Now, this Spanish War is also a test of this wheeled armored vehicle.
"This battle is only allowed to succeed, not fail. This is the first time we have occupied the ground target. We must fight better than the Noodle Army!" Cialek only gave a simple speech: "For Germany, fight!"
For Germany, fight! All the members jumped into their own chariots. For them, this was the first battle that the German team officially started after World War I!
Tanks were launched one after another, and the engine behind them was emitting black smoke and drove out of the base.
At the same time, there was constant roar on the runway of the airport.
The Stuka bomber was full of bombs. In addition to a 500-kilogram bomb on the center line of the belly, a 110-kilogram bomb was also mounted on the wings on both sides, taking off with full load!
Behind the Stuka bomber, He51 also took off with a bounce. Like the last formation, the fighter finally took off.
However, the scale of the departure is smaller than last time. Now Merida is almost an empty city with less than a thousand defenders and not many targets to be bombed. Only half of the bombers will have one-third of the surplus to provide additional support.
At the same time, on the runway, when all the fighter jets took off, there were four BF109s, which were on standby at any time.
After the last air strike, although there was an anti-aircraft attack, Cialek did not relax his vigilance. From that time on, the air force base has been on high alert. The observation post has been dispatched twenty kilometers away to keep in touch with the base by phone. On the base's runway, four BF109s have been on combat readiness and duty. As long as there is a situation, they can be launched at any time.
Dozens of chariots rumbled and dozens of fighter planes also took off from the runway. After entering the Spanish battlefield, the second important battle planned by Cialek started.
"Commander, Madam is here." Just after releasing his troops, Graf, the personal guard of Cialis, suddenly said to Cialis quietly.
Chapter completed!
