History

The unit was created in March 1937, in Andújar, from three battalions of militias. Although at first it used the numbering "75", it was later renumbered as "92". The command was entrusted to the infantry commander Carlos García Vallejo, [1] that throughout 1937 was replaced by the infantry commanders Antonio Máximo Ludeña, Nicolás Bellido Borrás and Celestino García-Miranda. Shortly after its creation, in April, the brigade was assigned to the 20th Division, having its headquarters in Andújar. [2] [3]

The 92nd Mixed Brigade remained located in the Córdoba front until the beginning of December 1937, when it was sent to the Teruel front and added to the 70th Division of the XVIII Army Corps. On 16 December it saw action in the Campillo  [ es ] sector, participating in the Battle of Teruel. In February 1938, it was located in front of the Alfambra river, where its units distinguished themselves with unequal luck: located in the Vertice, one of its battalions withdrew in disarray due to the danger of encirclement, while its 367th battalion maintained their positions harshly.
