On the border of Gibraltar and Spain, the 2nd Division of the German Marines deployed a regiment. It's not that Major General Hans doesn't want to deploy more troops, it's just that it's too cramped.

On a line of defense of less than a kilometer, the deployment of an infantry battalion can be considered relatively crowded, let alone the deployment of a regiment. Even so, the troops were dispersed across several lines of defense.

The other two regiments were deployed in and south of Mount Takri. Artillery, in particular, was all deployed south of Mount Takri. Although, such a full reliance on the artillery observer in front to guide will have a certain impact on the accuracy of the shelling. However, there is no way to do it! Whoever made the terrain of Gibraltar too cramped to put a marine division of nearly 20,000 men is simply unlikely.

In addition to this, the Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has also been cruising in the waters off Gibraltar. Once the Spaniards attacked, they were able to provide the most powerful fire support to the navy. With powerful naval artillery, the Spaniards paid a heavy price directly. The intensive firepower of the marines, holding narrow positions, is not a problem at all. As long as your own artillery and naval guns can destroy the Spanish artillery. Then the Marines were able to make the Spaniards pay a heavy price with minimal cost.

"General, according to the information we have obtained, the Spaniards on the opposite side have gathered 100,000 men! Are they going to be desperate? A colonel regimental commander said to Major General Hans.

"What about 100,000 people? The fighting power of those Spaniards is not even 100,000 pigs. Let them attack, and soon the corpses of the Spaniards will cover the entire line! Major General Hans said nonchalantly.

It is true that Major General Hans did not take these Spaniards seriously, and the previous battle for the capture of Gibraltar by the German marines already spoke for itself. The Spaniards were so bad at fighting that a regiment of German marines could easily defeat one of their infantry divisions. In this battle, Rear Admiral Hans was confident that he could withstand the Spaniards' attack, even without the support of the fleet. Especially when the terrain conditions are very favorable to them, if the Germans can't withstand the attack of the Spaniards, then they are too rubbish.

"Yes, General. The attack of the Spaniards is absolutely no different from sending them to death. The colonel said.

North of the border, the Spanish army general in charge of the attack, Marc Misian, is also suffering from this. Although he had an army of 100,000, he still did not have the slightest confidence in taking Gibraltar. The Germans were so strong, so strong that he was on the verge of despair.

However, the order had already been given, and he had no other way.

"May God forgive me! I made the brave lads die. I'm going to hell when I die. Admiral Mark Misian muttered.

"Let's attack! His Majesty had no patience to wait. Let the lads charge bravely, we have five times as many troops as the Germans, we can definitely defeat them! Admiral Mark Misian said.

Still, perhaps even he doesn't believe it.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The artillery of the Spanish Army began to bombard, and for this attack, they specially mobilized more than 300 cannons. Among them, there was no shortage of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm.

However, as soon as these artillery pieces opened fire, they were immediately discovered by the seaplanes of the German Navy. What awaited them was the powerful fire suppression of the Mediterranean Fleet of the German Navy.

According to the coordinates sent back by seaplanes, seven capital ships of the Mediterranean Fleet, began to suppress fire on the artillery positions of the Spanish Army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One by one, the guns began, and the shells whistled towards the artillery positions of the Spanish Army. This time, the battleships fired high-explosive shells. For ground targets, high-explosive shells are undoubtedly more powerful and more suitable.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

A sharp whistling sound sounded above the heads of the Spanish artillerymen, and the faces of the artillerymen changed dramatically.

"Oh God! Shelling by the Germans. ”

"This is definitely shelling from large-caliber naval guns!"

"Run! Otherwise, we'll all be blown up! ”

The Spanish artillerymen were suddenly scattered.

However, they still ran a little slower. The shells had already fallen.

"Boom!"

The shells exploded on the artillery positions of the Spanish Army, and the violent explosions sounded, and under the terrifying shock wave, the cannons were overturned, and the artillery was blown away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

By the time the smoke cleared, the artillery position had become a mess. Huge craters appeared in the center of the artillery position, and one by one the cannons had been destroyed, and the barrels were twisted into twists. As for the artillerymen, they have been torn to shreds, and the stumps and broken arms are flying everywhere.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Horrific shells from naval guns rained down. The artillery positions of the Spanish Army were in bad luck. Under heavy shelling by German naval guns, these artillery positions were destroyed one by one.

When Admiral Mark Misian learned that the artillery position had been destroyed in less than twenty minutes, his old face was even more gloomy as if it could drip water.

"Infantry attack!" Admiral Mark Misian ordered.

Although, reason, told him that it was time to retreat immediately, out of range of the German naval guns. In this way, the lives of most of the soldiers can be saved.

But unfortunately, at this time, Admiral Mark Misian did not dare to do that at all. If he had fled in fright by a heavy German bombardment, Alfonso XIII would not have let him go. When the time comes, the consequences will be very, very serious.

For his own sake, Admiral Macmisian could only send the soldiers to their deaths.

"Attack!"

In the first round of the offensive, the Spanish army invested tens of thousands of men. It's just that because the battlefield is too narrow, the queue for attack is very crowded. If the front of the battlefield could be a little more wide, they would have put in more troops. In this way, they will be able to give full play to their superiority in troops.

Unfortunately, the topography of Gibraltar is like that.

"The Spaniards are coming, ready to fight!" The offensive of the Spanish Army, which attracted the attention of the German marines.

The previous shelling by the Spaniards did not last much and did not cause them much damage. The combat effectiveness of the troops is still in its heyday.

"Fire!"

When the Spanish Army charged closer, the Germans opened fire. Mortars and machine guns began to reap the lives of these Spaniards with powerful firepower.
