Iron Germany

Chapter 1359 Heavy Casualties

"It's really spectacular! I have to admit that the charge of the islanders is still very imposing. So many people are brave enough to launch an attack, and the army of an ordinary country can't do it!" Major General Friedley said. admiration.

"General, the islanders are obviously too stupid. Their attack style is completely a living target for our intensive firepower. We can use intensive firepower to easily kill them all!" Georg said the brigadier general.

"So, it's really admirable that the islanders are so stupid!" Major General Friedley said with a smile.

"Fire!"

With the order of the German artillery commander, the German artillery, which had been silent for a while, once again began to show off. This time, not only the 150mm heavy howitzers and 105mm light howitzers fired, but those 75mm field guns finally got a chance to perform. Although the shells of the 75mm field gun are not very powerful, there is no doubt that there is no problem in shredding a fragile human body.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Cannonballs shuttled through the air one after another, making a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

The soldiers on the Daoguo Road, who were attacking on the ground, turned a deaf ear to these whistling sounds, and continued to charge, as if they were not afraid of these shells falling into their ranks at all.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, the shells fell into the queue of the island army and exploded violently. The shock wave swept around with shrapnel, reaping the lives of the officers and soldiers of the island army. In the queue of the island country army, there were gaps left.

However, the island army has a large offensive force, and these gaps are quickly filled.

However, the German shelling was also continuous. Those shells fell like raindrops, constantly taking away the lives of officers and soldiers of the island nation. Many island country soldiers were even torn to pieces in the explosion.

"The German artillery fire is more intense than before!" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro's face was livid. Any general who saw his soldiers being blown to death like this would probably feel bad.

"Your Excellency Commander, the field artillery of the islanders has also joined in. When dealing with our artillery before, their field artillery did not fire. Now, they pour all their firepower on our infantry." Haruki Mayama The major general said with an ugly face.

Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro didn't say much, maybe in his heart, he would think that this war was wrong from the very beginning. With the strength of the island country army, fighting against the German army that has been armed to the teeth, what is the difference between hitting a stone with a pebble! It's a pity that so many young people have to be sent to the battlefield and let them die with their own hands.

"Come on! Onboard the Empire, onboard His Majesty the Emperor!"

The brave officers and soldiers of the Japanese army are still charging even in the face of heavy German shelling. Their attacks continued until they were killed by shells.

"Mortars, grenadiers fire!"

When the officers and soldiers of the island country army finally broke through the German artillery blockade, what awaited them was still continuous firepower. The mortars and grenades of the 2261st Infantry Regiment on the position have already been prepared.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The attack continued, and one after another shells and grenades smashed into the ranks of the island army, taking the lives of those island soldiers.

"Machine gun fire! Kill those islanders!"

As the officers and soldiers of the island country army approached the German defense line more and more, various weapons of the German army also opened fire at various levels.

Large-caliber heavy machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, and squad machine guns started firing one after another. The dense bullets shot at the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army like a storm.

If the island army, which is attacking frantically, hits an invisible wall, countless people will fall to the ground. Their bodies were full of bullet holes. Some island army soldiers were even beaten into sieves.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

When the automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles in the hands of the soldiers started firing, the battle had reached its climax. The officers and soldiers of the island country army who rushed to the front of the German defense line after paying a heavy price were knocked to the ground under the intensive firepower and lost their lives. The soldiers of these island countries fell to the ground unwillingly, their eyes could not be closed for a long time, but they had already lost their spirits!

"Go to hell, German!" A brave island soldier raised his 38-type rifle and wanted to fire at the German army. However, a German sniper opened fire first. A bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle hit him in the head, and the whole head exploded. Red and white mixed things are scattered everywhere.

"Massacre, this is no longer a battle, but a massacre!" Lieutenant General Kenzo Kitano, head of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, closed his eyes in pain. Those soldiers who were killed were all young lads! However, for the sake of the empire, they are now dying here, thousands of miles away from their hometown.

"Kitano-kun, there is no way around this. Where there is war, there will be death. The Germans' firepower is too strong. If we want to break through their defenses, we will have to pay a heavy price! As long as we can win, even if we pay more The big price is worth it!" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro said.

Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzao nodded. Indeed, in order to win, casualties are inevitable. However, what if they suffered heavy casualties and still could not break through the German defense line? Isn't that loss in vain? It's just that such words are obviously not something he can say as the head of the division.

The attack of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army was very violent. But the German defense line is still strong. Just as the rocks on the seaside easily resisted the impact of the waves, they stood still.

When the sky darkened, the four main infantry regiments of the 4th Division had already suffered heavy losses. Until this moment, Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro gave the order to stop the attack. However, the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division is not much left. The losses of several main infantry regiments exceeded 70%. If it were in the West, these troops would have lost their combat effectiveness long ago.

"Chiba-kun, Kawada-kun, you are responsible for the attack at night!" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro gave the order.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji and Lieutenant General Kawada Suesaburo replied.
