Jagged Germany

   "Baga! Where's our fighter plane? Why hasn't it appeared yet? Don't they come after the Germans blow up our heads?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo said with anger.

   "General, both the 3rd Air Force and the 4th Air Force have sent fighter planes to reinforce us. However, they are still on their way!" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong reported.

  The fighter planes of the Army Air Force of the island country will take off from the airport in the Philippine Islands, which is undoubtedly much farther than the German fighter planes taking off from the airport in western Borneo. In addition, the fighter performance of the Luftwaffe is much stronger than that of the Japanese army aviation. In every air battle, the loss of the Japanese army aviation is much more than that of the Luftwaffe. This has also caused many pilots of the army aviation of the island country to be a little wary.

  Although the island army's fighting will is very tenacious, they are naturally not so brave when it is obvious that they must die.

  In order to seize air supremacy, the island army aviation also tried to attack the Luftwaffe's airport in Borneo. It's just that the large-scale air search radar equipped by the German Air Force made the island country's army aviation plan finally aborted. They had to continue to compete with the Luftwaffe for consumption. But it is clear that such severely unequal battle damage will cause the island country's army aviation to suffer greater and greater losses. After that, they may no longer be able to support the consumption of war.

   "There is no air support, and no artillery support. Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to eliminate those islanders!" Lieutenant General Honda shook his head involuntarily. Obviously, he knew that this would undoubtedly be another tough battle for them.

"Honta-kun, there is no way around it. The Germans have too great an advantage. Compared with them, we have a huge gap in equipment. In order to win, we can only ignore the casualties." Sakura Lieutenant General Jing Shengsan also sighed.

  Although, these generals of the island army are almost all hard-hearted people. They have never taken the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously, thinking that these soldiers are nothing more than consumables for victory. However, the huge loss will still make them moved. After all, although the island country has a population of 70 to 80 million, it can be regarded as a populous country. But if in order to win this war, all the young people are sent to the battlefield and let them die, even if they can win in the end, the island country probably has no future for development.

   "Order the divisions to attack! Even without artillery support, we will definitely be able to destroy those Germans!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo ordered. Although he knew that after such an order was issued, it would inevitably result in bloodshed.

   Lieutenant General Benta was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to do so.

   "Warriors of the Empire, go! Defeat the Germans and kill them all!" Countless island soldiers, led by low-level officers, began to attack. They held bayonet-mounted rifles, stepped on bowed legs, bravely faced the rain of bullets from the German army, and attacked the German army's position. In order to break through the German defense line in one go, the island army invested the main force in this wave of offensive.

The 143rd and 144th Infantry Regiment under the 55th Division, the 124th and 138th Infantry Regiment under the 31st Division, the 153rd and 168th Infantry Regiment under the 49th Division, The 128th Infantry Regiment and the 151st Regiment of the Infantry under the 53rd Division all went on the offensive. The eight infantry regiments invested at one time have a total strength of more than 20,000 troops. You must know that these are all front-line combat troops, excluding other second-line troops and civilian personnel, which can be regarded as the main force invested.

   "Empire Onboard! His Majesty Onboard!"

  Countless island soldiers, shouting slogans, bravely launched an attack.

   But what greeted them was the shells that fell like raindrops.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The artillery shells exploded in the ranks of the island army, and countless human bodies were torn to pieces under the tremendous power. Surrounded by gravel and mud, the shrapnel that shot out harvested life.

  Although the army of the island country lined up in skirmish lines when attacking. However, under the heavy shelling of the German army, it still suffered heavy losses. After the artillery of the Japanese Army suffered a devastating blow from the joint German artillery and air force, they could only rely on the mortars and grenades that accompanied the infantry to fight back.

   It's just that the German artillery obviously has an overwhelming advantage. So much so that the island army was completely suppressed during the battle.

   The real threat to the Japanese army is still the machine gun firepower. When the island army broke through the blockade of artillery shells and rushed to the front of the German defense line, what greeted them was the powerful machine gun firepower of the German army.

   "Da da da!" Large-caliber heavy machine guns, general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns all started shooting. The automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns equipped by ordinary German soldiers have a rate of fire far higher than the 38-type rifles equipped by the Japanese army. So much so that the dense rain of bullets directly blinded the army of the island country. Countless officers and soldiers of the island country army were hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming. Undoubtedly, under the powerful firepower of the German army, the attack of the island country army was smashed and bloody, and suffered heavy losses.

   "Damn it, how come the Germans are so powerful?"

   "How many machine guns do they have? Are the Germans rich enough to equip every soldier with a machine gun? In that case, how can this battle be fought?"

   In the face of the powerful firepower of the German army, the attack of the Japanese army was completely contained. Many island soldiers could only lie on the ground, listening to the bullets whizzing past their heads. This feeling is enough to make the scalp numb.

   "Come on!"

  A second lieutenant officer of the island country army, brandishing a samurai sword in his hand, bravely led his subordinates to charge.

  However, the oncoming bullets turned him into a honeycomb in an instant. His team was also severely damaged in a very short period of time, and it was almost completely lost.

   "Your Excellency, the German firepower is still very strong. The attacking troops have lost a lot. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to break through the German defense line in a short time." Major General Yanpan Haoxiong said with a somewhat ugly face.

   "Damn! How could this be? Didn't it mean that the Germans had been severely injured in previous battles? But why are their combat effectiveness still so strong?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzo could not believe what he saw.
