After several years of warfare, the Chinese Empire, which had a land connection with the Southern Subcontinent, took advantage of the supply, and with the cooperation of the poor Yaman Empire colonial army, the Allied Powers had basically mastered most of the northern and central parts of the entire Southern Subcontinent, and the remaining tens of thousands of Allied colonial troops could only rely on some fortresses in the southwest to survive, and there was no way out except to be wiped out.

The Entente no longer had the ability to attack, and after leaving part of the army to continue to encircle and suppress these remnants, Su Zhizhen began to move his troops north. Su Zhizhen knew very well in his heart that in order to obtain the greatest benefits of the war, it was very necessary to land on the Western Continent to fight, so before Fang Xiaoyu gave the order, he had already formulated a variety of battle plans with his staff officers.

After research, the joint command sent a battle plan to Su Zhizhen, which stated that in order to avoid heavy casualties, the Southern Subcontinent Front could use the Navy's transport ships to land from the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, and cooperate with the Sardinian army to launch an attack on the Nantes Empire from the south.

Seeing this battle plan, Su Zhizhen's brows furrowed, originally he had also thought of such a battle plan, the advantage of such an operation was that he could not bear casualties at all, and he would be able to land on the Western Continent, but the disadvantage was that the Grand Duchy of Sardinia would not agree to let a large number of its troops pass through its country, unless heavy equipment was reduced.

It would be very difficult to attack the Nantes Empire like that, not to mention that the allies of the Western Continent were already wary of the Chinese Empire, and even if they wanted to land in the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, they would face difficult negotiations diplomatically.

For this reason, Su Zhizhen took advantage of his special right to directly report to Fang Xiaoyu during wartime, and directly submitted to Fang Xiaoyu a landing plan for operations across the Strait of Gibraltar, in which he made clear his position and the harm of the joint command plan.

After Fang Xiaoyu weighed it again, he felt that if he opened up a new battlefield, he could gain greater initiative in the post-war negotiations, and he didn't need to rely on others in terms of logistics and supplies, so Fang Xiaoyu finally agreed to Su Zhizhen's request, and this was the situation where the Southern Subcontinent Front Army gathered at the port of Ceuta.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the only passage connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Storm Ocean, and it is bounded to the north by Cape Marroki in the Kingdom of Sero and Cape Sires in the Southern Subcontinent to the south. The strait is 54 kilometers long, and only 13 kilometers at its narrowest point, and the sudden narrowing of the strait has caused the current to be turbulent and difficult to grasp the direction, so that ships of all countries are cautious when passing through here.

The narrow strait can't help but change the ocean currents, and it can also keep both sides of the strait within the range of each other's artillery, especially in a country like the Chinese Empire, which is why Su Zhizhen chose here.

The opposite Marokee Fortress is a mountainous area, in order to stick to this sea route, the Sero Kingdom built a strong Marroki Fortress here, and deployed a large number of troops, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack the terrain, fortunately, the Entente has been tight recently, and the Sero Kingdom has drawn a large number of troops to aid the Nantes Empire battlefield, which has reduced the strength of the Maroki Fortress to about 30,000 people.

In order to attack the Maroki Fortress, Su Zhizhen sent a report directly to Fang Xiaoyu, requesting that a heavy artillery unit be sent to him, Fang Xiaoyu also knew the importance of this battle, and he directly sent the Second Artillery Corps in the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Guards Army without saying a word.

The Second Artillery Corps is the absolute main force in the heavy artillery regiment, and on the battlefield of the Western Continent, the First Artillery Corps has already shown a strong enough deterrent power, and this Second Artillery Corps is definitely not inferior to that unit.

The transportation situation in the southern subcontinent was relatively primitive, and train guns like those of the First Artillery Corps could not be used, and the Second Artillery Corps was not equipped with train guns, but they were equipped with the largest caliber towed artillery in the heavy artillery regiment, including eight 420-mm heavy guns and 16 360-mm heavy guns.

Today's Zhonghua Foundation has made great progress in materials science and mechanical mechanics, and these guns were designed on the basis of the high development of these disciplines, so they got rid of Zhang Hui's troubles and designed a towed heavy gun that exceeded 203 mm.

Although these formidable heavy guns are inferior to the Monty Python 2 train guns in caliber, their adaptability is much higher than that of the Monty Python 2 due to their more flexible way of carrying, and in this particular strait area, as long as these guns exist, the opponent's strong fortifications and the distance of thirteen kilometers can definitely be easily crossed.

For the sake of secrecy, the huge artillery group was covered with canvas and camouflage nets, and transported to the Sinai Canal under the guise of supplies through the railway network of the Chinese Empire, and from there it was transported by ship along the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea to the port of Ceuta under the escort of the Mediterranean Fleet.

Reaching Cape Cires, the officers and men of the 1st Artillery Division found it impossible to support the artillery. It turns out that most of the land in North Africa is soft sand, and if it is an ordinary small-caliber artillery, it is fine, but if a super heavy artillery like the First Artillery Division does not have solid ground support, I am afraid that the entire cannon will sink into the ground as soon as the cannon is fired. For this reason, Su Zhizhen had to transfer engineering troops to build cement batteries for these huge cannons, and in order to make these batteries stable enough, the foundation was more than 50 meters deep underground, which delayed for half a month.

At this time, the Allies, who were losing at sea, were also helpless on land, and the Nantes Empire had already occupied a quarter of its territory, and if it were not for the defense of the densely fortified areas in the country, the Nantes Empire would have occupied the entire territory.

The Allied forces that continued to attack frantically were also uncomfortable, and in just one month, the major powers of the Allied countries in the western continent lost nearly two million soldiers.

After several years of fighting, the domestic soldiers of each country tended to be exhausted, and the losses were so great, but there was no reserve to replenish it, and the current offensive could be maintained, thanks to the fact that the Chinese Empire replenished the expeditionary force with 300,000 Japanese soldiers and 500,000 St. Martin's servants, as a result, Tobul's status in the Allied army continued to rise, and all the military operations of the Allied countries at present had to be notified to him in advance, and even let him be in charge of command.

Unexpectedly, the delay due to the transfer of artillery divisions gave the Chinese Empire a larger share of power on the battlefield of the Western Continent, which was an unexpected gain. Now, with the merits of the Chinese Empire in the Great War, it is enough to overwhelm the great powers and take the initiative in the post-war distribution, but Fang Xiaoyu is still not satisfied.

After the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Allies jointly launched an attack, the senior officials of several other countries kept a close eye on the Chinese Expeditionary Force, no matter what they looted, several countries had to share the profits, which made Tobul quite depressed, so Fang Xiaoyu planned to let Su Zhizhen open up a second battlefield, and strive to make another profit when the war was about to end.

The Kingdom of Cerro and the Grand Duchy of Rees were also two powerful countries a hundred years ago, although they have completely declined in the past hundred years, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, their heritage is still there, and the royal treasures should not be underestimated, and Fang Xiaoyu is going towards this goal.

Su Zhizhen understood Fang Xiaoyu's thoughts, and at the same time, he also understood that this battle plan was proposed by himself, and if he could not successfully implement it, his military career would come to an end. To this end, he concentrated 15 armies of the Wehrmacht and 27 armies of the Empire of St. Martin, the Latin Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Hawa near the port of Ceuta, and 10 armies of the Japanese army, and at the same time transferred 37 wings from the air force, and also negotiated with Sun Xiaohu to let the navy also go into battle to help.

On November 20, 907, the battle across the Strait of Gibraltar finally began. First of all, the 1st Artillery Division began its first attack with their guns, which were larger than the naval guns, and then the large-caliber naval guns of the naval battleships joined in, and the dense artillery fire blew up the Marokee fortress in shambles.

When had Sero's army ever encountered such a large-caliber artillery attack, even the thickness of the cement of their fortifications was not prepared to prevent such artillery fire. Under the dense artillery fire, many pillboxes were completely overturned, and the garrison of the Sero Kingdom was stunned in an instant.

Immediately after the large group of aircraft of the Chinese Air Force was in the air, the Chinese Air Force attached great importance to this attack, and for this reason they sent Gao Gaofeng, the chief test pilot of the year, who had been promoted to chief of staff of the Air Force. At this moment, Gao Gao Feng was piloting the plane, personally leading the group to fly into the sky above the Sero Kingdom, and the air force group did not bomb the fortress area too much, but directly penetrated into the interior of the Sero Kingdom, and blew up the military camps, warehouses, transportation hubs, airports and some key departments near the fortress.

Because of the terrain, the Marcelo Fortress was not very large, so although it claimed to have 30,000 defenders here, there were only 5,000 people who lived in the fortress at ordinary times, and the other troops were stationed in the barracks not far from the fortress, and the attack of the bomber troops directly cut off the support of the rear military camp to the fortress. While the defenders of the fortress were huddled in their fortifications, praying that the shells would not fall on their heads, a large number of landing ships carried the landing force directly from Cape Sires to the opposite direction.

Cape Marokee is mostly mountainous, and there are only a few places that can land on the ground, all of which have been heavily defended by the Cerro army, so when the first group of Japanese soldiers jumped off the landing ship and charged the beach, they were soon attacked by the defenders of the Maroki Fortress, who hid in the fortifications and blocked the landing ground with heavy machine-gun fire, suppressing a large number of Japanese soldiers on the beach and unable to raise their heads.

But soon the naval guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy were aimed here, and those places where tongues of fire came out were taken care of, no matter how thick the walls of the fortress were, how could they withstand the terrifying fire of the Shannan-class battleships and those super-giant guns on land, their guns and machine guns were quickly dumbed.
