Although the German 23rd Armored Division had only been formed after Germany began large-scale mobilization, it was still a formidable armored force. The entire division had one tank regiment, two armored regiments, and a heavy tank battalion equipped with Mighty Tiger tanks. Its other tanks were all Panther tanks.
The 23rd Armored Division possessed more than three hundred tanks and a considerable number of armored vehicles. Its armored assault capability was extraordinarily formidable. However, it was difficult for armored forces to launch large-scale offensives in the South Seas. The region was thick with jungles and rivers, while its transportation infrastructure was extremely poor. Whether Mighty Tiger tanks or Panther tanks, they seemed far too heavy. In places with poor roads, they could easily sink into mud pits and become unable to break free.
The 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division each possessed over a hundred Panther tanks, along with large numbers of armored vehicles. Although their assault strength was weaker than that of the 23rd Armored Division, the Island Nation's Army had no unit capable of stopping them.
Although the Island Nation's Army had successively developed quite a few tanks and armored vehicles, could those things made of steel plates, rivets, and welds truly be called tanks? Before German tanks, they would probably have no fate but to be crushed beneath their treads. Moreover, even such flimsy tanks were regarded as treasures by the Island Nation's Army and had not been deployed to the Southern Theater at all. Thus, when facing an attack by German armored forces, the Island Nation's Army could only rely on a very small number of anti-tank weapons. For the rest, they would likely have to depend on their valiants carrying explosive packs or cluster grenades and launching suicide attacks with a
