Following up on Configuring Samba on Ubuntu 16.04 on two nearly identical machines

In order to do a network share I have found I need to do the following two steps
nmblookup
mount

For instance

some-very-long-name@some-very-long-name:~$ nmblookup some-very-long-
192.168.29.168 some-very-long-<00>
some-very-long-name@some-very-long-name:~$ sudo mount -v //192.168.29.168/some-very-long-name /mnt/ralph12 -o username=some-very-long-name,password=somePassword
mount: //192.168.29.168/some-very-long-name mounted on /mnt/ralph12
some-very-long-name@some-very-long-name:~$

That is, nmblookup delivers an ip address which is then used in the mount.

Question:

Is there any way to combine the two or have the mount command do this:

sudo mount -v //some-very-long-/some-very-long-name /mnt/ralph12 -o username=some-very-long-name,password=somePassword

When I try the above command I get

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
//real-estate-dat/real-estate-data-mining,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)

 In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
 dmesg | tail or so.
