"Bastards! The Germans deployed large-caliber heavy artillery?" Major General Kotei Chishitoki's face turned extremely grim when he heard the entirely different sound of explosions.
Their artillery was all still on the ships. The attacking infantry had carried only some mortars and Grenade Launchers. The German military, however, was different. Howitzers and mortars of every caliber had joined the battle. Countless Island Nation officers and soldiers had already died beneath German Army artillery fire. Now, the German Army had even committed these large-caliber heavy guns.
"General, these are clearly heavy guns with a caliber exceeding 200 millimeters. According to the information we have, the German Army is equipped with a 210-millimeter heavy howitzer. They have mounted this heavy gun on an armored vehicle chassis, allowing it to move under its own power," a staff officer said.
Major General Kotei Chishitoki's expression grew even more solemn. Since the German military had deployed this kind of heavy artillery, it likely meant they had already taken notice of the battle here. They had also sent reinforcements. That would make this battle even more difficult.
Although the German military's artillery fire was exceptionally fierce, with an unbroken stream of shells making the Island Nation's Army pay an extremely heavy price, it still could not halt their charge. Every Island Nation soldier had been told that if they could not break through the German defensive line and capture Sennah Port in tonight's battle, the Germans would launch a frenzied counterattack once dawn came tomorrow. When that happened, they would die horribly. For that very reason, these Island Nation soldiers had gone utterly mad. They threw everything into the attack, intending to end the battle completely before daybreak.
"Charge! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live the Empire! Kill all the Germans!"
