"How is the battle on the front line going?" Lieutenant General William Adam asked.
Although Brunei City is far away from the battlefield, he is still very concerned about the situation on the battlefield. This is directly related to how long German military can last in Borneo. Lieutenant General William Adam still hopes that they can make the Island Nation people pay more losses in this landing operation.
"Your Excellency Commander, our air strikes caused great casualties to the Island Nation people. However, when a large number of Island Nation fighter jets arrived, our ground Attacker and Dive Bomber had to withdraw from the battle. Now, 5th Air Group is competing with the Island Nation for air supremacy. In a short period of time, it may be difficult to determine the ownership of air supremacy. Therefore, the support that 5th Air Group can provide to the ground forces is very limited," Major General Erwin Willow, chief of staff of the group army, reported.
Lieutenant General William Adam nodded. "The Island Nation people will not give up so easily. They know that their fighter force is not our opponent, but they will continue to do so. Because if our air force is not contained, our air force will cause huge casualties to their ground forces. Therefore, for the safety of the ground forces, they can only let the air force's fighter force die."
"It should be like this!" Major General Erwin Willow agreed with this view.
"It seems that if we want Island Nation people to pay huge losses in this war, we still have to rely on our own strength. 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade, how long will it take before we can join the battle?" Lieutenant General William Adam asked.
23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade is equipped with 72 210mm Self-Propelled Heavy Howitzer doors. Once these heavy-duty Howitzer are put into battle, they will inevitably cause huge casualties to the Island Nation people. In this case, the pressure on the defenders will be much less.
"Your Excellency Commander, 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade set off overnight last night. But the damn traffic here has greatly affected our traveling speed. It is not expected to arrive at the battlefield until tonight." Major General Erwin Willow said.
"Okay, let's do this. Send Telegram to General Eric Hansen and General Felix Steiner, and tell them that it's up to them in the next battle. I'll figure it out. We can't send reinforcements to them, but the prerequisite is that they must resist the Island Nation people's attack and suppress those damn Island Nation people on the beach!" Lieutenant General William Adam said.
"Okay, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Erwin Willow nodded.
Major General Eric Hansen is the division commander of German military 225th Infantry Division, and his troops are stationed at Sennah Port. And General Felix? Steiner is the division commander of German military 228th Infantry Division. This division is stationed at Lahad Datu. These two Infantry Division also became the first batch of troops that German 23rd Army Corps and Island Nation's Army fought against.
"Let our other troops be ready! After the Island Nation people continue to launch attacks, our casualties will not be small. With just two Infantry Division, it is difficult to stop the Island Nation people." Lieutenant General William Adam said. He knew that once Island Nation's Army's military advantage was brought into play, it would be difficult for them to resist Island Nation's Army's attack. Finally, I'm afraid Borneo will have to be evacuated.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Erwin Willow went to make arrangements.
On the front lines of Sennah Port and Lahad Datu, the fierce battle between the landing troops of German military and Island Nation's Army continues. German military 225th Infantry Division and 228th Infantry Division, resisting the attacks of the Island Nation's Army 2nd Division and 18th Division.
However, judging from the current situation, German Army occupies a great advantage on the battlefield. In a defensive position, they can fully utilize their firepower advantage.
Island Nation's Army needs to face the powerful firepower of German military to conduct landing operations, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Sennah Port Beach, the first landing craft finally washed up on the beach.
But it was at this time that a light machine gun was already aimed at the landing craft.
More than a dozen Island Nation's Army soldiers jumped from the landing craft.
At this moment, German military's light machine gun started firing.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
Intense bullets were fired over, and the Island Nation's Army soldiers who had just jumped off the landing craft were shot one after another and fell to the ground screaming. Only a few lucky people were not hit, but they were so frightened that they lay on the beach and did not dare to look up again.
Although German military's powerful firepower caused Island Nation's Army to suffer heavy losses during the landing. But as time went on, more and more landing craft washed up on the beach.
Although German Army is using powerful firepower to strangle Island Nation's Army, causing great casualties to the Island Nation's Army. However, as more and more Island Nation soldiers landed, the two sides also engaged in fierce shooting.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Type 38 rifle's crisp gunfire sounded on the beach. soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys lay down on the beach and shot at German military.
But what responded to them was German Army's automatic rifle or Semi-Automatic Rifle's counterattack. Although soldiers of the Island Nation's Army's marksmanship is very good, even much better than German military's soldiers. However, due to the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides, Island Nation's Army was suppressed even if it washed up on the beach.
"Boom!"
A mortar shell fell, and two Island Nation's Army soldiers were blown into the air.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
A Type 92 heavy machine gun is firing. This Heavy Machine Gun uses bullet-protecting plates to feed ammunition, although the theoretical rate of fire is not slow. However, because of this weird ammunition supply method, its firepower is greatly limited in actual combat. During the exchange of fire with German military's General Purpose Machine Gun, he was suppressed to death.
After all, German military and General Purpose Machine Gun use ammunition belts, and a belt of 12.7 mm bullets has a full 130 rounds. There are two hundred and fifty rounds of 7.62mm bullets on one bullet belt. There are only 30 rounds of bullets on a bullet-proof board. The difference is undoubtedly obvious.
"Boom!"
Another mortar shell hit the Type 92 heavy machine gun directly. After the shell exploded, this Heavy Machine Gun had been blown into parts. The machine gunner was also killed on the spot.
"For the Empire, rush!"
A group of the soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys are bravely charging towards German defensive line. However, what greeted them was the massacre of German military's powerful firepower.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
Intense bullets were fired at them, and the soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys who were charging were shot and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from their bodies, dyeing the sand on the beach red.
