Chapter 191: Unagreeable Proposal
Speaking of German friends, almost everyone's eyes looked at Lieutenant Colonel Richterhofen.
General Cialek still did not come, and now every time he attends, it is Richterhofen.
Hearing the request of these people, Richthofen shook his head: "Our tanks are still under maintenance. The last accident left our tanks stuck. Now, we are waiting for accessories from Berlin."
Wait for accessories! When will it be when it is shipped from Berlin? A month has passed! By then, it has been 37 years!
It seems that this battle cannot be counted on the Germans anymore!
It's really tickle!
"We General Cialek is also very anxious now, but the accessories are too heavy and it is not appropriate to send the plane. We still have a large amount of funds that have not been in place, so we can only go by sea."
Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen spoke very slowly, and he continued, "But, we General Cialis, have a proposal."
Cialick has any proposal? When he heard his words, everyone was shocked. As long as he studied Cialick's rise, he could find that this guy had almost never lost, and every inference he made was quite correct.
And now, although Cirick did not attend, it was Richthofen's representative, his proposal must be taken seriously.
Even Franco asked excitedly: "Tell me, what suggestions do he have?"
"Give up attacking Madrid, and first defeat all the surrounding areas, so that Madrid can become an isolated city. Only in this way can all reinforcements from Madrid and supply from the Republican army, including the international column, can they conquer Madrid."
Suddenly, Franco's face changed.
The National Army started attacking from the west and advanced eastward. Until now, it has controlled the western territory with Madrid as the north-south dividing line, and all the promotion routes revolve around Madrid.
After all, Madrid is the capital. As long as Madrid is captured, it will be able to turn this rebellion into orthodox. Although Franco has proclaimed himself the head of state of Spain, it is still not recognized by the public.
Franco attaches great importance to Madrid, just like an emperor who wants to ascend the throne, only one step left before the dragon throne. No matter how difficult this step is, he has to take it! At this time, in his eyes, there is only the dragon throne, nothing else.
So, Franco couldn't accept it.
Even Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen continued to explain his reasons: "On the other side of us, not only the National Army, but also the International Column, and the most combative one is the International Column. Behind them is the Soviet Union supporting it!"
"We can only take over other territories, control those ports, and close the border with France, so that the Soviet reinforcements cannot reach Madrid. Even if we don't fight, we can make Madrid surrender."
"Today, there was a T-26 opposite us. This was what the Soviet Union reinforced. Only by cutting off foreign aid can we win."
Richterhofen wasted a lot of saliva, and in the end, Franco just nodded, even if it was gone.
Back at the base, Richterhofen told Cialik everything about the meeting, Cialik nodded: "As I expected, Franco would never give up on fighting Madrid."
Richter Hoffen was speechless. After a long time, you proposed a plan that was impossible to agree. Why do you still mention it?
"In this way, when Madrid can't fight next year, everyone will know that the plan I proposed is the right one." Cialek said.
Without blocking ports or borders, Soviet aid can be easily sent to Madrid, and the opponent has been replenishing blood. How can I fight?
In the past few months, it is not necessary to mention attacking downtown Madrid, even the suburbs of Madrid cannot be defeated!
The plan proposed by Cialek now is to express this kind of foresight so that he can win the respect of those veterans.
"It seems that this Madrid battle will not be fought for a long time." Richterhofen was quite convinced by Cialis.
Cialek nodded: "Now our army is aggressive, but if it lacks momentum, it will definitely not work for one month at most, at least the logistics supply will not be able to keep up. By next year, the Republican army will counterattack again. This Spanish battle will not end so soon."
Cialek's time travel has changed history. If Cialek led the elite German troops and advanced all the way, he could successfully enter Madrid.
But what are the benefits of doing this? So, Cyric will not change the history of the Spanish Civil War at all. Let Franco taste the failure first!
"Our planes can be sent out one after another to participate in some ground attack missions and train our pilots. As for the tank troops, they will be kept first." Cialek said.
There was a tank on the opposite side, and the T-26 carrying the cannon tube. So, next, the Italian army, which had learned the lesson, would definitely not be willing to go to the front line. They would change their tactics, that is, use guns first and use aircraft to bombard them. After almost the bombing, they would go up.
It's exactly the same as Cialick guessed.
After a week of bombing, the National Army, which gathered again, finally broke through the "Pastoral Home" park defense line, then crossed the Manzanares River, and pressed against the University Town.
Here, a cruel battle began, and the International Column established the 11th Detachment, guarding the University Town tightly.
Fighters are bombing indiscriminately and are dropping uncountable bombs on the university town every day.
Every building, philosophy building, and literature building in the university town has become a bloody battlefield, and almost every building is in a tug-of-war. This is like a terrible meat grinder, constantly devouring the living lives of both sides.
The battle lasted until the end of November. Franco was helpless and ordered a retreat.
After more than a month of battle, the casualties were too heavy. Franco was almost desperate in the face of the increasing number of Republican troops and the international columns with new numbers emerging.
