Zaragoza

**Zaragoza** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Calm down and speak slowly. I can barely understand you.

*The person on the other end of the radio is speaking.*

If you require assistance, I require information!

*The person on the other end of the radio is speaking.*

Republicans forces are approaching? How close- *Oberleutnant Wagner is briefly interrupted by the sound of explosion outside the communications tent.*

Oh, they're already here! Hold your ground, commander. Reinforcements have arrived! Wagner out.

*Oberleutnant Wagner puts down his radio headset.*

Mein General, we've got urgent requests from Nationalist forces across the region. The Republicans are advancing on our position here at Zaragoza. We must hold this regional capital at all costs!

**Primary Objective: Defend Zaragoza.**

**Bonus Objective: Commander Vasquez survives the battle.**

No matter what, we cannot lose control of Zaragoza. I recommend a dedicated garrison defend it at all times.

Republican forces have already crossed the Ebro River here, and have cut us off from the majority of our Nationalist infantry forces in the region.

If at all possible, we should attempt to defend Commander Vasquez. It would reflect poorly on our unit if we just left our Nationalist allies to die alone.

There is an unguarded mountain pass here, we could send a force through it to reach the good Commander quickly.

Additional enemy attack waves are undoubtably on their way from the various Republican bases in the region.

Be ready for potential attacks from any of these directions!

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Mein General, I have a new report for your attention.

Our Nationalist allies have completed their summer operations to spectacular success. The entire Republican northern enclave has been taken over; the Basque region is completely under Nationalist control.

Additionally, several advances have successfully pushed the Republicans hard in the southern parts of Spain. Lastly, the Nationalists have stabilized the Madrid front and have also begun to take the first steps to advance into the eastern parts of Spain. These will be the opening moves in challenging Republican holdings in Aragon and Catalonia.

The Generalissimo sends his appreciation for our continued efforts and assistance.

As a result, we've been granted a few weeks of rest and refit. The Nationalist efforts will continue without us, for just a little while. My understanding is the Italian CTV will be stepping up operations in our place, so I'm hopefully our allies will be in good hands.

I'll keep a close eye on our unit rosters, and make sure we're ready for action at a moment's notice, if necessary.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an... appointment with Capitana Vega, and I don't want to be late!

Good day, Mein General.

**Historically, Battle of Belchite proved to be yet another failed Republican offensive. Zaragoza would remain firmly in Nationalist hands, and future Nationalist attacks into the Aragon territory of Eastern Spain were only minorly inconvenienced.**

## Messages

* Mein General, request coming in from our Nationalist allies. The war has disrupted many civil services across Spain, and there is a severe lack of qualified workers to repair complex systems. As a result they've asked if we can spare some of our maintenance crews to assist in rebuilding civilian infrastructure. I estimate the amount of support they've requested will halve our resources, so we should not make this decision lightly. If we do help them though, it should dramatically increase our influence in the future.
