The Battle of Indusaville

The Army of Africa was made up of troops and officers with more experience than any other military formation in Spain. Franco's forces would advance north very rapidly, making it advance of almost 500 kilometers from the south to Telvera de la Reina in a bit over a month. It would be at this stage that the difference between the experienced and organized military units of the Army of Africa and the largely inexperienced and disorganized Republican forces would be most sharply felt. The result was a string of Republican military failures and Nationalist military successes.
