Elite Spanish Legionnaires and Moroccan Regulares from the Army of Africa forced back the Republican Army of the Centre, including the International Brigades, but after days of fierce fighting no breakthrough was achieved. Republican counterattacks along the captured ground likewise failed, resulting in heavy casualties to both sides.plain2019-05-06T05:51:56-07:00193740.2179, -3.504033Spanish Civil WarJoseph Brown5eac7ef3705d9f80e567b77e809a27064bd00249
