Chapter 886: massacre

  Gibraltar and the Spanish border, the German Marine Corps 2nd Division deployed a regiment. It's not that Major General Hans doesn't want to deploy more troops, it's because the place is too narrow.

  With a line of defense less than one kilometer, it would be considered crowded to deploy an infantry battalion, let alone deploy a regiment. Even so, the troops were dispersed to several lines of defense.

  As for the other two regiments, they were deployed in Mount Takri and the south. Artillery, in particular, is all deployed south of Mount Takri. Although, relying entirely on the guidance of the artillery observers in front will have a certain impact on the accuracy of the artillery strikes. However, this is also impossible! Who made Gibraltar's terrain too narrow, and it was impossible to place a marine division with nearly 20,000 people.

   In addition, the Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has also been cruising in the waters near Gibraltar. Once the Spaniards launched an attack, they were able to provide the strongest fire support to the navy. With the powerful naval guns, the Spaniards directly paid a heavy price. The intensive firepower of the Marine Corps, holding a narrow position, is not a problem at all. As long as one's own artillery and naval guns can destroy the Spanish artillery. Then, the Marine Corps will be 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 assembled 100,000 people! Are they going to go all out?" a colonel said to Major General Hans.

"So what about 100,000 people? The fighting power of those Spaniards is different from that of 100,000 pigs. Let them attack, and soon, the corpses of the Spaniards will cover the entire defense line!" Major General Hans Said nonchalantly.

  Major General Hans did not pay attention to these Spaniards. The previous battle of the German Marine Corps to capture Gibraltar has already explained everything. The combat effectiveness of the Spaniards is so bad that a regiment of German marines can easily defeat one of their infantry divisions. In this battle, even without the support of the fleet, Major General Hans was confident of resisting the Spanish attack. Especially when the terrain conditions are very favorable to them, if the German army can't resist the Spanish attack, then they are too rubbish.

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

  North of the border, the Spanish army general Marc Missian, who was in charge of the offensive, was also having a headache for this. Although he has 100,000 troops in his hands, he still has no confidence in taking Gibraltar. The German army was too strong, so strong that he was about to despair.

  However, the order has been issued, and he has no other way.

   "May God forgive me! I let the brave boys die. After I die, I will definitely go to hell." Admiral Makmisian murmured.

   "Let's attack! His Majesty the King has no patience to wait any longer. Let the boys charge bravely. Our strength is five times that of the Germans. We will definitely defeat them!" Admiral Makmisian said.

   However, perhaps even he himself does not believe this.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The cannons of the Spanish Army started shelling. For this attack, they specially mobilized more than 300 cannons. Among them, there are many heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm.

   It's just that, as soon as these artillery fired, they were immediately spotted by the seaplanes of the German Navy. Waiting for them will be the powerful fire suppression of the German Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

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

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The naval guns started, and the shells roared towards the artillery positions of the Spanish Army. This time, those battleships fired high-explosive shells. For ground targets, high-explosive bombs are undoubtedly more powerful and more suitable.

   "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

  Sharp whistling sounded above the heads of the Spanish artillerymen, and the expressions of those artillerymen changed drastically.

   "My God! German shelling."

   "This is definitely the shelling of large-caliber naval guns!"

   "Run away! Or we'll all be blown to death!"

  The Spanish artillerymen immediately dispersed.

  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 there was a violent explosion. Under the terrifying shock wave, the cannons were overturned one by one, and those artillery were blown to pieces like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. fall.

  When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the artillery position has become a mess. A huge crater appeared in the center of the artillery position, and the cannons had been destroyed, and the barrels were all twisted into twists. As for the artillerymen, they had already been torn into pieces, with stumps and broken arms flying everywhere.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Terrible naval gun shells fell like raindrops. The artillery positions of the Spanish Army were in bad luck. Under the heavy shelling of the German naval guns, these artillery positions were destroyed one by one.

  When Admiral Mark Misian learned that the artillery positions had been destroyed in less than twenty minutes, his old face became even more gloomy, as if dripping water.

   "Infantry attack!" Admiral Macmisian ordered.

  Although, reason tells him that he should retreat immediately and withdraw from the range of the German Navy's naval guns. In this way, the lives of most soldiers can be saved.

   But unfortunately, at this time, Admiral Mark Misian didn't dare to do that at all. If he was so frightened and fled by the Germans' heavy shelling, Alfonso XIII would definitely not let him go. At that time, the consequences will be very, very serious.

  For his own benefit, Admiral Macmisian can only let those soldiers die.

   "Attack!"

  In the first round of the attack, the Spanish Army invested tens of thousands of people. However, because the battlefield is too narrow, the attacking queue is very crowded. If the front of the battlefield can be wider, they will also invest more troops. Only in this way can their superiority in military strength be brought into full play.

   But unfortunately, Gibraltar's terrain is like this.

   "The Spaniards are coming, ready to fight!" The attack of the Spanish Army attracted the attention of the German Marine Corps.

  The Spanish shelling did not last long before, and did not cause them any harm. The combat effectiveness of the troops is still at its peak.

   "Fire!"

   As the Spanish Army charged in close, the Germans opened fire. A series of mortars and machine guns began to use powerful firepower to harvest the lives of these Spaniards.
