  • The Battle of El Mazuco was fought between September 6 and September 22, 1937, between the Republican and Nationalist armies during the Spanish Civil War as a part of the War in the North campaign. The Republican defence of El Mazuco and the surrounding mountains halted the Nationalist advance into eastern Asturias, despite their forces being outnumbered sevenfold. After weeks of intense fighting over extreme terrain the defenders were eventually overwhelmed, and the Nationalists were then able to link up with their forces advancing from León, leading to the fall of Gijón and the abandonment of Asturias, the last Republican province in North-West Spain. The definitive source for details of the battle is This battle was probably the first use of carpet bombing against a military target.
  • La batalla de El Mazuco fue una de las más cruentas de la guerra, aunque fue eclipsada por otras, como la ofensiva sobre Belchite que coincidió en las mismas fechas de septiembre de 1937. Apenas fueron quince días de fortísimos combates, desde el día 5 de septiembre hasta el día 20, que tuvieron lugar cerca del pueblo de El Mazuco al suroeste de la localidad asturiana de Llanes. La aplastante desproporción de las tropas nacionales, junto con una acertada estrategia lograron abrir el avance de las tropas nacionales hasta Covadonga y Gijón.
  • La battaglia di El Mazuco fu una battaglia combattuta tra il 6 e il 22 settembre 1937 tra le forze repubblicane e le forze franchiste nel quadro della campagna del Nord. L'obiettivo dei nazionalisti era quello di conquistare le montagne circostanti El Mazuco, per aprirsi la strada verso le Asturie orientali. Nonostante le forze golpiste fossero sette volte superiori, i repubblicani riuscirono ad arrestare l'avanzata per due settimane.
