Hi everybody welcome to the blog Guadalajara en Guerra
We are on the road Torija-Brihuega in the exact place where members of the Garibaldi Brigade made an ambush to the Italians of the Corpo di Truppe Volontarie on March 10th 1937 around 11 a.m.
Brihuega had been taken by the fascists on March 10th early in the morning
The Garibaldi brigadists that were stationed at Torija , head for Brihuega at 10 a.m. in the morning, it is a foggy and cold morning as every morning in that battle those days
and just in this place they could hear a motorized column marching towards Torija ,they hide themselves and when the Italians passed by the machine guns started to talk
This ambush was supported by a Russian tank that was hidden just there on that slope behind those trees
Due to the action of this tank the Italian column suffered heavy damages
And after that first combat mentioned by all expert writers of the Spanish Civil War like Preston, Hugh Thomas, Anthony Bevor,the Italians of the CTV withdraw towards Brihuega
Just where that tin lies there was a member of the Garibaldi brigade I have found this bullet of Mosin-nagant
and these are the positions occupied by the members of the Garibaldi brigade to seige Ibarra Palace
This is another parapet where a Garibaldi brigadist lost this coin of the Provisional Government
We are more or less 1 Km away from the place where the ambush was made
..and it is just in this point where the Garibaldi brigadists become strong by blocking the road
The Italians of the C.T.V. will never pass that barrier,and this is somehow the beginning of the end
The legionaries of the CTV that were at Brihuega had to march along this road towards Torija to meet his colleagues-in-arms of the Third Division that were advancing along the Road of France
But I said before the Italians of the CTV never passed beyond this point
Bullet casings ,Italian, Czech and Russian
The CTV legionnaires would try to expel the Garibaldi brigadists from this area by using artillery as we can see here there is a fragment of shrapnel but they couldn't make it
a bullet of Czech Mauser
Another proof of the useless Italian artillery bombing on behalf of the CTV
Hi everybody today is January 2nd 2017 we continue with the video in the point that we stopped ,I have just found this fragment of fuse of an Italian projectile , another part also coming from an Italian projectile where the detonator or also the transport cap is screwed on
...and this inert fuse of a projectile I am unable to identify now
well we have seen how the republicans were bombed in this kind of bridgehead just in Km 11 or 11,5 , we can see here this part that belongs to the shrapnel of the Italian Brixia mortar grenade
We can see here a bullet of a shrapnel projectile ,a fragment of a fuse of 100 mm shell
Another fuse
Italian bullet points
And here we can see a complete bullet and casings of the Mosin-nagant rifle
This Tenacity, this Determination , this will give Victory to the Republicans , this happened somehow like in the story of David against Goliath
See you soon in the next chapter
