Chapter 221 Riot in the City
Rush, Rush, Rush!
The battle in the valley was an accident. For the long-range armored troops, they did not expect that Mora's cavalry regiment would go into the valley and be surrounded.
Guderian's armored soldiers, for one thing, rushed into Zaragoza and captured this important city!
The expected fierce battle did not happen! When the first armored 1st regiment was advancing, they did not even find a position outside Zaragoza. Here, it is simply an undefended city!
The tank stopped, and Wittmann opened the top turret cover to reveal half of his body.
He was still wearing a boat-shaped military cap with headphones on it, looking extremely handsome. He used his binoculars to look forward carefully.
In the field of vision, the streets of Zaragoza have appeared, and on the streets, sporadic exchanges of fire can be seen.
It's really interesting, we haven't started yet, there's actually civil unrest here!
"Keep going!" Wittmann shouted, and his chariot continued to rumble forward.
"There is a firefight ahead, and two teams of unidentified armed personnel are fighting." Following the report on the radio, Kurt, the head of the regiment, was also stunned. How could this be?
However, this is even better, since we can recover the city without any effort!
"Show our flags and see who is a friend and who is an enemy." Kurt ordered to the chariot in front.
On the tank, the flag of the Condor Legion was hung and fluttered fiercely.
"Da!" A middle-aged man fired a shot calmly, hitting a sandbag barrier on the opposite side, deviating from the target by at least one meter!
He continued to pull the bolt, ready to aim again. From this morning to the present, since the beginning of the riot, he has fired more than 30 bullets, but nothing has been achieved. It is time to kill.
Just as he lowered his head, pulled the bolt, and loaded the next bullet, he heard a rumbling sound in the distance.
Raising his head, in an instant, he was extremely happy, and shouted to the distance: "Hey, brothers of the Condor Legion, we are the Falangists, we have revolted!"
He danced and cheered toward the distance, but the next second, his body shook violently.
He was very unlucky. After fighting for so long, he didn't hit the enemy, but now, his actions just now exposed his body, and he was killed by the opponent!
The Leopard 1 tank in the distance, the engine was rumbling, and Wittmann in the turret did not hear what the other party was saying, but the other party's expression had already explained everything, the other party was with his own group.
If that's the case, then help them fight!
Wittman shouted to the gunner beside him: "Target, 300 meters ahead, the fire point on the second-story building. Grenades."
"Understood," shouted the gunner.
The loader clanged twice, skillfully stuffed the 75mm grenade in, the gunner pressed the button, driven by the hydraulic motor, the turret turned, and then, the entire tank made a huge roar.
"Boom!" A huge cannon sounded, and the second-story building in front was immediately blown up by half of the floor, along with the machine guns.
The people of the Falang Party here were immediately excited. Just now, they had been suppressed by this machine gun all the time. Now, their reinforcements arrived, and they immediately killed the firepower.
It's so pretty!
"Rush over and kill them all!" a leader stood up and shouted, holding an MP18 submachine gun in his hand. This submachine gun looks relatively old, and it must be the goods of the First World War that the German military aided. .
The arrival of the Condor Legion gave the Falangists great confidence. When they heard that the Condor Legion was coming to fight Zaragoza, they secretly launched this riot, and the army in the city was gone. Confronting them was also a civilian armed organization. Now, with the artillery support of the Condor Legion, this militia organization was immediately discouraged.
The screams of killing were constantly sounding, and the arrival of the first few tanks only made the Falangists even more powerful, while on the other side, the army was defeated like a mountain.
A few who didn't have time to escape were caught by the Falangists, who threw away their weapons, raised their hands, and looked terrified.
Unfortunately, it was useless, the submachine gun in the leader's hand rang out, and these guys fell to the ground.
The tank stopped, and Wittmann stuck his head out to watch the scene.
"Hello, my name is Field, and I'm the head of the Falang Party here." The leader with the submachine gun ran to the front of the tank and saluted Wittmann with a non-standard military salute.
Then, as if afraid that Wittmann wouldn't understand his Spanish, he added: "Hi, Hitler."
This sentence is enough to express his position.
Wittman nodded: "We are here to liberate this place. Now, we need to control the entire city as soon as possible and destroy all the Republicans."
Smart Wittmann, during this time, has learned simple Spanish.
"We're willing to help, come with us and hit the government building first," Field said.
Behind, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles entered the city.
A wheeled-chassis vehicle stopped, and inside the car, an unshaven middle-aged man with a camera stood up.
Capa! He has been in the Condor Legion all this time! And this time, he got an opportunity to follow the Condor Legion and be a military reporter together, using his lens to record the war from another angle!
Now, his shots are frozen in moments one by one, collapsed houses, killed soldiers, this civil war, for the entire Spanish people, is a disaster.
However, from the current point of view, it seems that the Falangists have an advantage, and many people have been killed by the Republican Army.
"Here, why didn't I see the church?" After filming for more than an hour, he walked to the city center, where the armored division had completely controlled it, and Capa suddenly discovered the accident.
Shouldn't it be?
"Churches, burnt down," said angrily, one of the Falangist insurgents who protected him, who was also a living map of the city.
Burned? Kapa was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the unrest in the country didn't stop after the damn left-wing government came to power." The fighter was furious: "In this city, anarchists are violent everywhere, they don't just burn down churches, They even spare priests, monks, and nuns! If you are interested, I can show you the ruins of the church. I used to pray there two years ago."
