Iron Germany

"General, the islanders are crazy. They are attacking us regardless of casualties. Although our powerful firepower has caused them great casualties. However, their attack methods have also put us under great pressure. The losses of the 1st and 2nd regiments also began to rise. What’s more terrible is that the islanders are even about to rush in front of our defense line.” Brigadier General Michael, the chief of staff of the German 225th Infantry Division, was shocked.

"Hmph! The islanders are just trying to do this. I have studied the islanders. After they are in a desperate situation, they will easily go crazy. The current situation is like this. They are trying to scare us in this way. Then defeat us. This is completely wishful thinking." Major General Eric Hansen snorted coldly.

Brigadier General Michael nodded, and he felt the same way. It's just that the crazy fighting style of the islanders who are not afraid of death is indeed very scary. If you are not paying attention, you may be frightened by them.

"Let the 3rd Regiment go to the front line immediately for reinforcements. In addition, the reconnaissance battalion and other troops are also ready at any time. The islanders dare to work hard, are we afraid of them?" Major General Eric Hansen made Decide.

"Yes, General!" Brigadier General Michael nodded.

In the previous battles, the German 225th Infantry Division also did not do its best. Their 3rd regiment has not been put into the battlefield as a reserve team. Now, since the island country army is going to desperately. Then, the German army will naturally not be afraid to fight them desperately.

The frenzied attack of the Japanese army put a lot of pressure on the 1st and 2nd regiments of the German 225th Infantry Division. Even troop casualties are on the rise. There were even dangers on some lines of defense.

Fortunately, the 3rd regiment entered the battle in time. The addition of the new force thwarted the island army's offensive once again. Although they tried their best, they lost a lot. However, the German defense line is still very strong. Apart from leaving layers of corpses on the beach, the island army had no other effect at all. Of course, the Japanese army's style of play also made the German army consume a lot of weapons and ammunition.

However, the German army expected a fierce battle with the island country in Nanyang long before the war broke out. Therefore, the German Army has stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Nanyang in advance. Even if the consumption is very high, the German army can hold on. Being able to use those ammunition to consume the vital strength of the island country army is undoubtedly what the German army wants to see. After all, ammunition is consumed and can be remanufactured. The troops are exhausted, and it is not so easy to replenish them.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, our troops are still unable to break through the German defenses. Colonel Matsuno and Miyazaki Shigeru even led the team to participate in the attack, but they all failed. Matsuno was killed and Miyazaki Shigeru was seriously injured. .” Takeo Kinoshita reported to Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi with a sad face.

General Yoshimoto Teiichi's face was as gloomy as water. He also knew that the infantry regiments under the 2nd Division had already done their best. But unfortunately, even though they paid a heavy price, they still couldn't break through the German defense line. This is a heavy blow to the entire 2nd Division.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now?" Kinoshita Takeo asked.

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi has nothing to do at this moment. Although Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo, the commander of the 28th Army, put him under great pressure. However, he knew that even if the entire 2nd Division was wiped out, there would be nothing to do with the German defense.

"Order the troops, stop the attack!" Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi ordered.

"Then, how do you explain to the commander?" Takeo Kinoshita was a little worried.

"I will inform Your Excellency, Commander," Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi said.

In the case of heavy losses, the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army had to stop the attack. However, when the troops withdrew, the four main infantry regiments participating in the attack had all been disabled. There were nearly 15,000 elite infantrymen, but in the end less than half remained. The others had all turned into corpses, lying on the beach.

Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai, commander of the 28th Army of the Japanese Army, was very dissatisfied with the performance of the 2nd Division. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi ordered the troops to stop the attack, which made Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzo even furious.

However, he had no other way to do it. Although Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi is now his subordinate, everyone is a lieutenant general. It is obviously impossible for him to remove Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi from his position, or to kill him. He can only report to the front army headquarters. However, that also didn't have much effect. After all, the commander of the Front Army, Kawabe Shozo, is also just a lieutenant general.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the losses of the 2nd Division are indeed very large. The four main infantry regiments have all been disabled, more than half of the losses. If the fighting continues, they will probably lose all of them. The morale of the troops is also Because of this, it has been greatly affected. This is also the 2nd Division, and it can continue to fight until now. If it were any other unit, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago." Chief of Staff of the 28th Army Major General Yanpan Haoxiong said.

"Of course I know this. However, the current battle situation is very unfavorable to us. If we can't open the situation for a long time, our losses will increase." Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo was very entangled.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I just contacted the 33rd Army. They were also contained, and they were also unable to break through the German defense line despite heavy losses."

Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōsan could not help but look a little better when he heard this. Since the situation on the side of the 33rd Army is similar to theirs, it is impossible for the Front Army Command and even the Southern Army Command to say anything about it. It also relieved some of the pressure on his shoulders.

"Your Excellency, Commander, General Yoshimoto Teiichi thinks that there is no hope of breaking through the German defense line during the day. The German firepower advantage can be fully utilized during the day. Perhaps only at night will there be a chance." Major General Yanpan Haoxiong Then he said.

"Yoshimoto-kun put your hope in the night?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo frowned.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. Judging from the current situation, the night battle is undoubtedly the best situation for us. In that case, our disadvantage will be smaller. At the same time, we can also bring out our superiority in strength."

Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo thought for a while, then nodded: "In this case, let's delay until night! Give the 54th Division an order to start landing after nightfall. This time, we will do our best Already!"
