"General, the Island Nation people are crazy. They are attacking us regardless of casualties. Although our powerful firepower has caused them great casualties. However, their attack method has also put us under great pressure. 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment, the losses have begun to rise. What's even worse is that the Island Nation people are almost rushing to our defense line." German military 225th Infantry Division Chief of Staff Brigadier General Michael looked shocked.
"Hmph! The Island Nation people are just fighting in a corner. I have studied the Island Nation people. After they are in a desperate situation, they can easily go crazy. The current situation is like this. They are trying to scare us in this way and then defeat us. This is completely wishful thinking." Major General Eric Hansen snorted coldly.
Brigadier General Michael nodded, he felt the same way. However, the crazy fighting style of the Island Nation people, who are not afraid of death, is indeed very scary. If you are not careful, you may be scared by them.
"Let 3rd Regiment immediately go to the front line for reinforcements. In addition, Reconnaissance Battalion and other troops are also ready at any time. Island Nation people dare to fight hard, are we afraid of them?" Major General Eric Hansen made a decision.
"Yes, General!" Brigadier General Michael nodded.
In the previous battle, German military 225th Infantry Division also failed to do his best. Their 3rd Regiment has been serving as a reserve team and has not been deployed on the battlefield. Now, since Island Nation's Army is going to fight hard. Then, German military will naturally not be afraid to fight them.
Island Nation's Army's crazy attack put German military 225th Infantry Division 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment under great pressure. Even the casualties of the troops are constantly rising. There were even dangers on some lines of defense.
Fortunately, 3rd Regiment entered the battle in time. The addition of new forces frustrated Island Nation's Army's offensive once again. Although they tried their best, they suffered great losses. However, German defensive line is still very strong. Island Nation's Army has no other effect at all except leaving layers of corpses on the beach. Of course, the playing style of the Island Nation's Army also makes the weapon and ammunition consumption of German military very high.
However, German military had expected a fierce battle with Island Nation in South Seas long before the war broke out. Therefore, German Army had already stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in South Seas in advance. Even if the consumption is very large, German military can still hold on. Being able to use those ammunition to consume Island Nation's Army's vitality is undoubtedly what German military wants to see. After all, ammunition is consumed and can be manufactured again. Once the troops are depleted, it will not be easy to replenish them.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, our troops still cannot break through the Germany people's defense line. Matsuno Iwao Colonel, Miyazaki Shigesaburo Colonel even personally led the team to participate The attack failed, but Colonel Matsuno Iwao was killed, and Colonel Miyazaki Shigesaburo was seriously injured." Colonel Kinoshita Takeo reported to Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi with a look of sorrow.
Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi's face was as gloomy as water. He also knew that the infantry regiments under 2nd Division had done their best. But unfortunately, even though they paid a heavy price, they still couldn't break through German defensive line. This is a heavy blow to the entire 2nd Division.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, what should we do now?" Colonel Kinoshita Takeo asked.
Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi There is nothing we can do at this moment. Although 28th Army Commander Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō put him under great pressure. However, he knew that even if the entire 2nd Division were exhausted, there would be nothing they could do against the Germany's defense line.
"Order the troops to stop the attack!" Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi ordered.
"Then, Commander, what's the explanation?" Colonel Kinoshita Takeo was a little worried.
"I will inform Mr. Commander." Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi said.
In the case of heavy losses, Island Nation's Army 2nd Division had to stop the attack. However, when the troops withdrew, the four main infantry regiments participating in the attack had been disabled. There were originally nearly 15,000 elite infantrymen, but in the end less than half remained. The other people had turned into corpses and lay on the beach.
Island Nation's Army 28th Army Commander Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō is very dissatisfied with the performance of 2nd Division. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi ordered the troops to stop attacking, which made Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō furious.
However, there was no other way he could do it. Although Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi is now his subordinate, we are all lieutenant generals. It is obviously impossible for him to remove Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi from his position or kill the other party. He can only respond to Area Army Headquarters. However, that also doesn't have much effect. After all, Front Commander Kawabe Masazō is just a lieutenant general.
"Your Excellency Commander, 2nd Division's losses were indeed very heavy. The four main infantry regiments were all crippled and more than half were lost. If the fighting continues, they will probably all be lost. The morale of the troops has also been affected by this. It's a big impact. This is 2nd Division, and it can still continue to fight. If it were other troops, it would have collapsed long ago," 28th Army Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū said.
"Of course I know this. However, the current war situation is very unfavorable to us. If we are unable to open up the situation, our losses will become greater and greater." Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō was very entangled.
"Sir Commander, I have just contacted 33rd Army. They have also been contained, and they are also unable to break through German defensive line despite suffering heavy losses."
Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō couldn't help but look better after hearing this. Since the situation at the 33rd Army is similar to theirs, it is impossible for Area Army Headquarters or even Southern Army Headquarters to say anything about it. This also relieved some of the pressure on his shoulders.
"Your Excellency Commander, General Yoshimoto Teiichi believes that there is no hope of breaking through the Germany people's defense line during the day. The Germany people's firepower advantage can be fully utilized during the day. Perhaps there will only be a chance at night." Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū continued.
"Yoshimoto-kun, do you put your hope in the evening?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō frowned.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. Judging from the current situation, night fighting is undoubtedly the best situation for us. In that case, our disadvantage will be smaller. At the same time, we can also give full play to our strength advantage."
Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō thought for a while, then nodded. "In that case, let's wait until night! Give 54th Division an order to start landing after nightfall. This time, we will do our best!"
