The Republicans , attempting to bar the road to Madrid at Talavera de la Reina , were defeated by the professional army of the Nationalists , with heavy casualties on both sides . In the first days of September , after a fitful retreat along the Tagus , the government militias established themselves in a strong position on the heights above Talavera . Rather than risk the Republic ' s army defending open country in earlier battles , General Riquelme had yielded ground constantly , allowing him to conserve his forces and muster over 10 , 000 men at Talavera . A strong complement of artillery and an armoured train were placed at his disposal . The weary and shot - torn Nationalists , meanwhile , had advanced several hundred miles with hardly a moment ' s pause . On the dawn of September 3 , General Yagüe raced Colonel Asensio and Major Castejón up the flanks of the defenders . The two columns soon seized the city ' s train station and aerodrome . Once again the Republican militias lost their nerve , knowing their fate should they be surrounded and captured . Many soldiers deserted their posts and fled the battlefield in bus es . At midday Yagüe assaulted the city proper . Although the Republicans clung on for most of the afternoon , little resistance was offered in the streets and by evening Talavera had been lost . The assault cost the Nationalists 1 , 000 dead or wounded . The Republicans lost 500 dead , 1 , 000 captured , and 42 guns . More alarmingly , they lost their last line of defence before Madrid , which would soon be put under siege .

Route reconnaissance Route Reconnaissance is the intelligence assessment of the operational environment in reconnaissance operations of routes for military use , including methods of reconnoitering and classifying them for other troops . In a Tactical Area of Responsibility during combat operations the primary purpose of conducting route reconnaissance is to find and report all enemy forces that can interfere with movement along a route , and to identify the limit of direct - fire range and terrain that dominates the route . Route reconnaissance includes creation of reconnaissance overlays to identify land and water features , bridge reconnaissance and classification , road reconnaissance and classification , special terrain reconnaissance such as that used during cross - country movement , at the landing area s , on the inland waterway s , or when using footpaths and trail s , engineer reconnaissance , and use of military route sign s ( standard signs , sign lighting , bridge signs ) . A significant part of route reconnaissance is the ability to identify choke point s that prohibit military traffic by using conversion factors and tables to identify non - standard surfaces or inadequate load bearing in structure . To do so , Military Load Classification s are used for standard vehicles of a given armed force . Route reconnaissance is typically conducted by a foot , horse or vehicle - mounted route reconnaissance patrol , sometimes with aid of aerial reconnaissance aircraft . The patrol would include regular reconnaissance elements and a combat engineering team .
