"Da da da!"

The scream of Heavy Machine Gun is particularly noticeable. Orange flames shine at the muzzle of the gun, and dense bullets are fired out, hitting the fragile human body and taking away lives one by one.

The battle was very fierce, and German military 225th Infantry Division almost tried his best to resist Island Nation's Army's attack. However, Island Nation's Army 2nd Division and 54th Division also dispatched all available troops. Both sides tried their best to win this battle. This also made the war very tragic, with casualties on both sides remaining high.

However, from the actual loss situation, the loss of German military is still less than that of the Island Nation's Army. If Island Nation's Army wants to break through German defensive line, it must first break through the interception of the hail of bullets. After that, there was a hand-to-hand battle with German military.

There was a thick layer of corpses piled up on the beach, most of which were the corpses of the Island Nation's Army. Those short but strong soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys have now become cold corpses.

"General, Island Nation people are crazy. We have caused them great casualties, but they are still attacking fiercely. The pressure on the front line is very high, and our defense line has been broken through by them several times. There have been fierce hand-to-hand battles in many areas. If this continues, our situation may be more difficult." Brigadier General Michael reminded.

Major General Eric Hansen nodded. "The Island Nation people's strength advantage is still too obvious. We have no air support at night. At the same time, our firepower advantage is also limited, so it is inevitable that such a problem will occur!"

"General, how about we retreat! Until now, we have caused a lot of casualties to the Island Nation people. If we retreat now, I believe your Excellency Commander will not object." Brigadier General Michael suggested.

If they continue to resist Island Nation's Army's attack here, their losses will become greater and greater. At that time, if there are too many losses, the entire Infantry Division will lose its combat effectiveness. This is also not conducive to the subsequent battle.

Major General Eric Hansen hesitated, although he knew that if he retreated now, he could save 225th Infantry Division's main force. However, he was somewhat unwilling to do so. Island Nation's Army's landing battle lasted only one day. Are we about to retreat now? In that case, they would be too useless, right? If possible, Major General Eric Hansen hopes to persist for a while.

At this moment, a staff officer hurried over.

"General, this is Telegram from the headquarters." The staff officer handed Telegram to Major General Eric Hansen.

Major General Eric Hansen took the Telegram and looked at it, then he laughed, "Haha, Chief of Staff, there is a turning point."

"What's wrong? General." Brigadier General Michael was a little confused.

"The Navy has dispatched a fleet and is rushing towards us. It is expected to arrive in an hour. By then, it will be enough to make those Island Nation people drink a pot. Order the troops on the front line to hold on for another hour. Reinforcements will appear in an hour!" Major General Eric Hansen said excitedly.

Originally, he had planned to accept Brigadier General Michael's suggestion and let the troops retreat. However, now that the navy has arrived on the battlefield, it seems that they do not need to retreat. The naval fleet will make the islanders pay a heavy price. Whether it is the island army that has landed or those that have not yet disembarked, they will definitely suffer heavy losses under the attack of the German navy. The situation on the battlefield will also change.

"This is good news. I immediately informed the front line and asked them to hold on for another hour." Brigadier General Michael also looked happy.

Although under the attack of the Island Nation's Army, German military suffered great losses. However, if you persist for another hour, there is still no problem at all.

After the frontline departments learned that reinforcements were coming, their morale, which was originally a little low, was once again boosted. Even the attacking Island Nation's Army felt that German military's morale seemed to have improved a lot, so that Island Nation's Army's attack was repulsed again.

On the Sulu Sea, a fleet is sailing. This fleet, drawn from the Battleship formation of Pacific Fleet, includes two 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser, four heavy cruisers, eight Light Cruiser and 16 destroyers.

After learning that Island Nation's Army had launched a landing operation at Borneo, German Navy began to prepare to send a fleet into the Sulu Sea. However, in order to avoid being bombed by Island Nation's Army Air Force, the size of the fleet dispatched was not large.

On board the Battlecruiser number 'SMS Lützow', the German Navy Pacific Fleet Battleship formation Commander Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy and the chief of staff Major General Felix are discussing the next operation.

In the last naval battle, Pacific Fleet's Battleship formation suffered considerable losses. But compared to the results they achieved, that loss was nothing. This time, to reinforce German Army, Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi led the fleet to come without hesitation.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Island Nation people have landed in two places, one at Sennah Port and one at Lahad Datu. In this way, I led half of the fleet to Sennah Port, you lead the other half of the fleet to Lahad Datu. This time, we will make the Island Nation people who attack Borneo pay a greater price!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.

"Okay, General." Major General Felix replied. In his opinion, this is also a very easy task. The scale of the Island Nation fleet is not large. There is no Capital Ships, only a small number of heavy cruisers and Light Cruiser, and a few destroyers. Compared to the fleet dispatched by German Navy, there is no comparison at all. Even in night battles, German fleet has an absolute advantage. After all, those Capital Shipss and cruisers of German Navys are all equipped with Radars. Fire-control Radar has also become standard.

It is said that Radar will also be installed on newly built destroyers with German Navy. In that case, German Navy will be significantly ahead of other countries in terms of electronic equipment such as Radar.

Major General Felix left the 'SMS Lützow' number Battlecruiser and went to the 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser. The fleet then split into two parts. Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi led a part of the warships to go straight to Sennah Port. Major General Felix led another part of the fleet and sailed towards Lahad Datu.

At the speed of German fleet, it can reach the scheduled sea area in less than an hour. When the time comes, they will raise their butcher knives high.
