"Get in touch with the Army Air Force and tell them we need fire support! If they can't destroy the German artillery positions, we have no idea how many men will die beneath their bombardment!" Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki ordered.
"Yes, Commander!" Major General Miyoshi Tomochika replied.
"Also, have the Area Army contact the navy. If the navy can dispatch capital ships to destroy the German artillery positions, that would be even better," Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki continued.
Though he knew that getting the Island Nation Navy to risk deploying would undoubtedly be extremely difficult, with no other options left, they could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
"Yes, Commander." Major General Miyoshi Tomochika nodded.
A Communications Officer immediately went to send a telegram to the Area Army Headquarters requesting support. However, the Island Nation's Army generals all knew perfectly well that such a plea for aid would probably achieve nothing. Not only did Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the 14th Area Army, have no solution, but even General Hitoshi Anami, the Southern Army Commander, likely had no way to resolve such a problem.
"Commander, do the 22nd Field Artillery Regiment, the 100th Division Artillery Unit, and the 102nd Division Artillery Unit still need to enter the battlefield?" Major General Miyoshi Tomochika asked.
At once, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, Lieutenant General Jiro Harada, and Lieutenant General Shinpei Fukuei all shot Major General Miyoshi Tomochika vicious glares. Knowing full well how formidable the German artillery was, yet still asking them to send their artillery into battle—wasn't that simply sending their artillery to their deaths?
Though Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki was furious inside, he was no fool. He knew that dispatching artillery again would undoubtedly mean sending it to die. That was plainly using eggs to smash
