The military rations at the front are still tight, not to mention the ration supply of the people. By this time, the peoples of all countries were already on the starvation line, the anti-war sentiment was rising in every country, and the undercurrent was surging under the seemingly peaceful ice of war, and perhaps a small crack could allow it to break through the ice and drown it along with the governments on it.

The Yaman Empire was the first to complete the movement of troops, and they soon launched a new offensive. On the front in the Amiens area, 200 YJ-1 bombers, escorted by 180 Eagle fighters, carpet bombed the Nantes Empire's front.

Although the transfer of troops was not yet complete, the Nantes Empire reacted quickly, and a large number of fighters from the Nantes Air Force also took to the skies to fight, tangled with the escort fighters of the Yaman Empire, and a new major air battle began.

Despite the heavy losses of the planes on both sides, the Yaman Empire took advantage of the opportunity of its own fighters to entangle the other side and successfully bombed the positions of the Nantes Empire. Seeing that the other side launched an attack, the Nantes Empire was not to be outdone, and pushed its own armored forces into the battlefield as well.

The vehicles of both sides fought desperately on the narrow frontal battlefield, and the latest equipment of both countries was the 'Jazz' tank exported by the Chinese Empire, a seven-ton light tank, not only small with only two members, but also a maximum speed of only 10 kilometers per hour, and firepower with only one 37-millimeter short-barreled gun.

However, unlike the earliest overhead tracked vehicles of the 'Knight' type, it already has the basic shape of a modern vehicle, not only has better ability to climb over trenches, but also has a rotating turret, 22 mm thick front armor, and is enough to withstand all small arms attacks.

Despite this, the tanks suffered heavy losses under heavy artillery fire from both countries, and in order to gain an advantage on the battlefield, the Yaman Empire soon drove out their domestically built A7V tanks.

The A7V tank was designed and manufactured by the Yamaman Empire, and it used the same tracked chassis as the Chinese Empire tank, but because the internal combustion engine of the Yamaman Empire was still in the development stage, this tank was steam-powered, and a miniature version of the triple-expansion steam engine provided it with 400 horsepower.

Due to the large size of the steam engine, the chariot was eight meters long and three .5 meters high, and looked square-like like a train carriage, and such a bulky design also allowed it to reach a speed of only nine kilometers per hour, and the cross-country speed was only four kilometers per hour, and it also required frequent coal and water.

The steam engine was more powerful, which also gave the Yaman designers more options, so they added forty mm armor to the front of the tank, so that the bulky design was not without benefits, because there were naturally more large weapons in space. On the front of the tank was a fifty-seven-mm cannon and two heavy machine guns, three more on each side.

This behemoth slowly drove into battle with heavy black smoke, and its huge size gave the Allied soldiers a very great sense of oppression, and the 57mm cannon could easily tear through the front armor of the 'Jazz' tank, while the Jazz's 37mm gun could do nothing against its 40mm front armor.

The A7V tanks that broke into the position opened all eight machine guns, and the dense fire covered all directions, so that the Nantes army was powerless, and the Nantes Empire's army soon retreated gorgeously.

The A7V was too slow to pursue, and the Jarman army had to abandon the A7V unit and rely on the surviving Jazz and infantry to pursue it.

The Nantes Imperial army was crushed for thousands of miles, and it was only after retreating across the Riya River that it barely managed to hold its ground. In view of this situation, the Saar Empire decided to use a decisive action to slow down the advance of the Yaman Empire's army.

A few days later, at dusk, the busy day had come to an end in Cole Harbour, with a few fishing boats docked at the docks and some elderly people and women sorting out the day's harvest.

Although the port of Cole is located near the important Amiens, it was not an important port because the water depth was only about six meters, and it was not suitable for large freighters, and it was only one of the many fishing ports of the Nantes Empire, and now it was occupied by the Yamanian army due to the defeat of the Nantes army.

A patrol of the Yaman occupation forces walked past the Nantes fishermen who were sorting out the harvest, paying no attention to the busy people who had become accustomed to their daily work.

In the past, the port of Cole was also a busy fishing port, and there were more than 300 fishing boats at the most due to its proximity to the large fishing grounds near the Sahr Strait, but as the war progressed, it quickly became the front line, and a large number of young and middle-aged people were conscripted into the army, resulting in a lack of labor, and now there are less than 100 fishing boats still going to sea in this port.

The army of the Jarman Empire was still relatively gentlemanly, and apart from the taxes they had to pay, they did not persecute the Nantes who had already submitted, so life here was poor but quite acceptable.

An elderly fisherman straightened up his somewhat aching waist, lifted the back of his fishy hand, wiped a handful of sweat that was already on the verge of dripping into his eyes, and let out a long breath.

If it was in peacetime, an old man like him would have been resting at home, but the arrival of war caused all young adults to enlist in the army, and he had to return to his old job in order to survive. After all, he is old, and the old fisherman is no longer as strong as he used to be, and now he has to straighten up from time to time to let his waist rest and relieve himself.

Just as he was about to bend down and continue to sort out the harvest, a casual glance from the corner of his eye gave him an astonishing picture. Just above the horizon, a heavy dark cloud obscured the sunset, which had not yet completely set into the sea, and seemed to dim the light.

Soon many people noticed this, and they all looked up at the strange and slowly moving dark cloud, and even the Yaman army patrols stopped.

A long mast bearing the flag of the Saar Navy gradually peeked out of the horizon, followed by a second and a third, and by this time experienced people had already judged that it was not a dark cloud, but smoke from the chimneys of the ever-large fleet of steam engines.

"Enemy attack." A terrible shout from the captain of the patrol rang out, and chaos erupted throughout the docks. A terrible screech came from far and near, and the heavy shells of the ship's guns cut through a curved trajectory and smashed straight onto the dock.

The explosion smashed the stone pier floor into a deep pit, and the flying debris knocked several fishermen who couldn't dodge to their heads, and the more tragic ones were blown to death when the shells fell.

Dense shells kept falling, covering the entire pier, but by this time the people on the pier had already escaped, and these shells only destroyed the fishermen's harvest for the day, except for blowing a few fishing boats docked at the berth into parts.

The coastal artillery of the Yaman Army, which had already received the alarm, quickly began to return fire, but after all, this was an area that had not been occupied for a long time, and the Yaman Army did not have time to build strong fortifications, and this was not the focus of the defense of the Nantes Empire at the beginning, and the coastal batteries were very poorly repaired.

Fortunately, in order to consolidate their flanks, after occupying here, the Yaman army still transferred a lot of heavy artillery, some of which even reached a caliber of 254 mm, and the defense was still good.

But this time, the Thar Empire was determined to attack the flank of the Yaman army, and they even relied on the superior navy to mobilize more than five battleships, and these big guys with main guns of more than 300 mm caliber were not comparable to the shore guns of the Yaman army.

The artillery battle between the two sides lasted for an hour, and the coastal fortifications of the Yaman Army were blown to pieces, and the coastal defense troops, which suffered thousands of casualties, could only be defeated.

However, they did not gain nothing, a 'Captain Hundred' class battleship was hit by two 254-mm shells and seriously damaged due to its close proximity, and two old ironclads and three cruisers were sunk.

After destroying the other side's shore fortifications, the 100,000 Saar Imperial Army, which had been hiding on the freighter behind, began to use the net ladder to descend from the ship to the assault boat and row to the shore.

After the Chinese Empire carried out a landing operation on the Wa Kingdom, all countries studied it, and the Saar Empire soon copied the assault boat used by the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately they did not have the internal combustion engine technology, so naturally they could not equip the assault boat with a small engine and propeller, so the Saar Empire's assault boat could only be reduced to a fishing boat with hand oars.

The Saar army began to attack, and the whole sea was suddenly filled with assault boats. Unlike the rapid charge of the Chinese Imperial assault boats, the Saar army was more like a dragon boat, with soldiers shouting trumpets and paddling desperately, trying to keep their stay on the dangerous sea for a shorter time.

After the shore defense artillery was eliminated, the Yaman army did not stop it, which allowed the Saar army to land on the dock calmly. After coming ashore, the Saar army quickly took control of the nearby area with their own weapons, covering the landing of more troops, and in the whole night, the 100,000 Saar army landed on the land of Cole Harbor.

Grounded, the Saar army quickly advanced inland, but soon met fierce resistance. In order to avoid the attack of the enemy's large-caliber naval guns, the Yaman army set up positions far from the coast, where more than 80,000 troops arranged a long defensive line.

"Attack, all attack." With the order of General Owen, the commander of the Saar Expeditionary Force, the Saar army opened the straggler line, bent down, and cautiously rushed towards the temporary defense line of the Yaman army.

Years of war have turned these original hairy boys into elite warriors. At the beginning of the war, the infantry of the Western Continent lined up in neat horizontal formations, straightened up, and attacked the opponent's defense line with one human wall after another.
