Chapter 189

Why did the Spanish Civil War end in Franco's victory? It's very simple, because the left wing and they don't get along at all, and Franco, who wants to fight wholeheartedly.

At the beginning, in order to be successful in the election, the candidate organization at that time became the left-wing Popular Front. There were three factions in this organization.

The Spanish Socialist Party belongs to the Second International, the backstage is the White Left Social Democrats in Western Europe, the Spanish Communist Party belongs to the Third International, the backstage is Moscow, and the Spanish Workers Party belongs to the Fourth International.

In short, these factions are incompatible.

Guo Fengxian was very unfortunate. After going up, he was met by soldiers of the National Army belonging to the Fourth International. However, he was lucky. Later, after being found out by his old acquaintance, he was rescued urgently.

In Madrid, dark tides are surging, and at this time, the contradictions between them have not reached the level of open battles, because outside the city, the National Army has already appeared!

In 1936, November 6th was a special day.

On this day, the Madrid government moved to Valencia, and on this day, Franco's army's attack on Madrid officially began!

The three-way army, from three directions, encircled Madrid.

The CV33 ultra-light tank, rumbling, took them as the guide, and behind it, a large number of Italian legions and the National Army, lined up in skirmish lines, slowly moving forward.

If there is no previous experience, this kind of offensive queue is quite common and gives people confidence, but now, the charging army always thinks of the tall and mighty German Panther 2 tank last time. The Panther 2 tank, this small Italian tank, is simply a toy!

This made their charge feel very uneasy. Not to mention cluster grenades, even anti-tank guns could penetrate them. They had such a painful experience on the front line of Badajoz.

Overhead, several Italian biplanes flew by.

"What's going on? What about the Condor Legion? According to the plan, they should have come up to join us!" The Italian army's frontline commander couldn't help complaining.

"Division Commander, Division Commander." He had just finished complaining when a radio operator ran up and reported to him: "The troops of the Condor Legion have added inferior fuel, and all the engines have been damaged."

What?

Hearing this, the teacher couldn't believe his ears, adding inferior fuel, all damaged?

In the rear headquarters, Franco was also furious: "How is this possible? The best fuel we provide to the Condor Legion is absolutely impossible to damage their engines!"

Franco was depressed. Before the war, he repeatedly courted Cyric, and even gave the best supplies, including food, fuel, etc., to the Condor Legion first.

As a result, the current Condor Legion actually said that there was a problem with their fuel?

In a hurry, Franco did not send anyone, and came to the resident of the Condor Legion in person.

How can the chain be dropped at such a time? With the help of the Condor Legion, this war can end faster, especially their tanks are the main force of the charge!

When Franco arrived, he saw only one tank, the engine compartment at the rear was open, and there was a simple hanger on top of each tank.

A group of five tank soldiers are using slings to lift the engine inside.

Nima, this posture, it is impossible to be dispatched again! Seeing all this, Franco was completely depressed.

"General Franco, why are you here?" At this time, a man covered in oil asked Franco.

It was only now that Franco could see clearly that this dirty "warrior" was carrying the general star on his shoulder, that was Cyric!

"How did you make yourself like this?" Franco asked Cyric.

"I didn't expect that such a problem would occur at such a time." Cyric said: "Our tank unit needs to recover its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so I will also do it myself and repair it together with the soldiers."

Repair together! Even Cyric did it himself, what else could Franco say? Moreover, Cyric said that he was not feeling well. Originally thought that Cyric was taking the initiative to find fault, but did not cooperate because of the mine. It seems that the tanks here are really malfunctioning?

"The fuel we provide you has always been the best!" Franco said.

"Yes, the fuel you provided is fine," Cyric said. "However, some careless soldiers mixed gasoline and diesel."

Tanks use diesel fuel, and planes use clean gasoline, which must not be mixed. However, several soldiers, when unloading the oil, unloaded the gasoline into the large tank for diesel, and unloaded the diesel to the Put it in a big can of gasoline.

As a result, after adding this fuel, the engine of the tank suffered severe knock, and some pistons and connecting rods were bent!

The engine must be removed!

Franco was speechless for a moment, is it true? Can you still make this mistake? However, based on the current situation, the Condor Legion must be hopeless!

Looking at the planes in the distance, there are also technicians busy on the nose. It seems that the engine of the plane also has a problem.

"There are only three BF109 engines, and they are not started. Just simply clean the oil circuit." Cyric said: "Now, those three planes are the only ones we can dispatch. If they are known to Madrid, they must be Bombers will take off and come to us to bomb."

The tank troops could not be dispatched, and the planes could not be dispatched, because the planes also had the wrong fuel, and there were only a few lucky planes left, and these planes needed to protect the airport.

"Please handle this accident as quickly as possible." Franco said: "Our front line is still waiting!"

"Yes, I will do my best." Cyric said, "I will see you off."

With oil in both hands, Cyric could only watch Franco get into the car with his eyes. When Franco's people left, Cyric had a smile on his face.

"Get the engine on!" Cyric shouted.

More than a decade ago, in the desert, when Cyric first proposed the design of the Panther tank, Cyric emphasized one thing.

Quick changeover capability.

The engine, gearbox, as a whole is a module, in field conditions, the engine can be replaced quickly! In later generations, this is a technology that must be mastered.

On the battlefield, once the engine fails, a new engine can be replaced within a few minutes. As for the failed engine, it can be brought back to the rear factory for repair. In this way, as long as a certain amount of backup engines are stored, they can be quickly regained combat effectiveness.

And now, it's just a training, how to hoist the engine quickly.
