Romanian Eagle

The latest website: Not to mention the Soviet Union's search for clues about the disappearance of the Eugene all over the world, the two parties that have been supplemented in Spain are also preparing for a new round of battle.

Dork, battalion commander

Toledo, less than 60 kilometers from Madrid, is the most important stronghold of the National Army in the region. Since Toledo is so important, there are naturally enough troops stationed here, and it happens that the Romanian Advisory Group also has a force stationed here.

Dork wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect Spain to be so warm in winter. He has just completed the maintenance of the tank and is instructing other crews to maintain the tank.

The maintenance of the guide wheel should not be sloppy, otherwise the tank will break down on the battlefield and you won't be able to cry. You need to check the wheel axle first, and then...

While Dork was explaining, the crew members were listening intently. The captain also took out his notebook, listening and taking notes from time to time.

Okay, do you remember what I said?

Seeing the onlookers nodding nonstop, Dork went to the side to wash the dirt on his hands.

Don't look at the majesty of the armored soldiers on the battlefield, but only know how hard it is every day. Regular training and maintenance are particularly cumbersome, and cannot be done without good patience and physical strength.

And they are not even equipped with R10 light tanks for less than half a year, and they need more proficiency.

Speaking of which, this R10 light tank is not small, with a total length of 5.14 meters, a width of 2.67 meters and a height of 2.51 meters. The total weight reaches 17.9 tons. The hull armor is 45 mm in the front, 35 mm in the sides, and 25 mm in the rear. The frontal armor of the turret is 60 mm, 45 mm in the sides and 45 mm in the rear.

Equipped with a 50mm 42x tank gun and two 7.92mm machine guns. Its engine is a 240-horsepower ten-cylinder diesel engine, with a maximum speed of 52 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 260 kilometers.

It can be said to be a very good light tank.

As a newly developed tank, it naturally needs to pass the test of the battlefield. And there is no better place to test the performance of a tank than the Spanish Civil War. Therefore, a large number of new weapons, including the R10 light tank and the R20 medium tank, were tested on the battlefield in Spain. So for Romania, another benefit of the Spanish Civil War is to test the performance of weapons.

Just after Dork had washed his hands, a messenger found him.

The battalion commander asked me to go to the headquarters once?

Yes, Captain.

Dork, who received the reply from the messenger, couldn't help but wonder what the battalion commander had asked him to do. Could it be that he was going to the battlefield. Thinking of this, Dork's heart was hot. No way, so far, the ground battle, let alone Dork, other troops from Romania have not been on the battlefield.

However, unlike the aircraft of the Air Force, the ground forces have not engaged in combat, which is also caused by many aspects. First of all, they are not familiar with the environment. In addition, the smoke on the battlefield has subsided, and both parties are making a new round of preparations. There is also Lieutenant General Hoffman, the head of the advisory group, who hopes to show the power of the Romanian army on a weighty battlefield.

Therefore, due to various reasons, the ground troops have not yet had the opportunity to play.

When Dork arrived at the battalion headquarters, the more he felt that he was really going to the battlefield, because the other three company commanders were all there.

The battalion commander said after seeing that everyone was here. According to the order sent by the headquarters, our armored battalion will cooperate with the 11th Division of the 7th Division of the National Army to capture Brunette outside Madrid. The terrain here is suitable for our armored troops to fight, but I heard that their defending ability is very good. Repel many attacks by the National Army.

The battalion commander's comments on the defenders did not attract the attention of Dork and others. It's not that they are arrogant, and the National Army's combat effectiveness is just that. According to their private evaluation of the current Spanish armies, the Dro army should have the highest combat effectiveness, the international column of the Soviet army was second, then the Italian army, and finally the national army and the republican army.

Since the battalion commander has given a big order, the few company commanders have nothing to say, just obey.

And Dork took back the task and called the other car groups in his company.

Just got an order from the battalion commander that we'll be fighting with the National Army in Brunette.

Dork's words caused the other captains to show various expressions, and he continued to speak regardless of other people's expressions. Next, everyone needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tanks and vehicles. I believe I don't need to teach you this.

Dork's question attracted uniform answers from other captains. Need not.

Very good, then everyone will prepare. If you are missing anything, say it quickly, and you won't regret it if you don't go to the battlefield.

As the day draws near, a new battle is finally coming.

The armored battalion also left the camp and rushed to Brunette before, and would prepare to attack Brunette with the troops of the National Army.

shhhhhh

Artillery shells swept over the Republican brunette positions, and a swarm of bombers appeared in the sky. The bombers from the three countries of De Iro were bombarding Brunette indiscriminately, and the positions were full of fire and smoke.

Under the double blow from ground and air, the morale of the defenders suffered a heavy blow, because they had no means of counterattacking the opponent. At present, the skies of the battlefield have been ruled by the National Army. New aircraft from the three countries of Germany and Italy have swept away the old aircraft of the Republican Army. Even the newly developed I-15 and I-16 fighter jets of the Soviet Union are not their opponents.

For this reason, the Soviet Union, which assisted the Republican Army, felt extremely embarrassed, thinking that its new aircraft could compete with other countries, but it was not its opponent at all. The fighting that he should be proud of, is even more difficult to fight under the high-speed dive of the opponent. To this end, the Soviet Union has convened major aircraft design bureaus to develop a new generation of aircraft.

However, research and development time takes time, and the situation on the battlefield can not wait for people. So now the sky has been ruled by the National Army side supported by DeRoyce, as for the Republican Army side, they can only use small teams to make surprise attacks. But even so, it was still consuming the air power of the Republican Army.

So now the Republican Army side seems very passive. But what can be done about this? The assistance of the two parties is not at the same level. If the Spanish republican government hadn't occupied the government's righteousness before and controlled more resources, it would be even more uncomfortable now.

Therefore, seeing the soldiers on the position endured the blow from the air, the commander had nothing to do but replenish their troops.

As for the anti-aircraft weapons, there are, but I don't know who is defending who after it is exposed. Because of the insufficient number of anti-aircraft weapons it is equipped with, it does not dare to fire at any time.
