As time passed by, Island Nation's Army's fierce attack continued. The brutal fighting was still going on on the beach.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō was still worried. The transport ship he was on was not too far from the coast, and he could clearly hear the sound of gunfire coming from the beach.
"Your Excellency Commander, 2nd Division and 54th Division are still launching fierce attacks on the Germany people's defense line. However, the Germany people's defense line has been destroyed by us several times. Breakthrough, although they were eventually driven back, we have already caused a lot of casualties to the Germany people. It is expected that we will be able to break through the Germany people's defense line soon!" Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū reported.
"Well, that's good! Tell Yoshimoto-kun and Akiyama-kun. Tonight, we must break through the Germany people's defense. We must capture Sennah Port before dawn!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō said.
"Hi, Mr. Commander." Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū replied.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō did not know that German fleet was approaching them. A bad luck is about to befall them.
German fleet, with the number 'SMS Lützow' Battlecruiser as its flagship, is heading towards the battlefield at high speed. The Sea-search radar on top of the battleship is in operation, detecting all conditions in the surrounding sea areas within a range of forty kilometers.
"General, there are a lot of Island Nation ships nearby. Most of them are transport ships or merchant ships." The officer in charge of Radar reported.
"First find the Island Nation heavy cruiser and Light Cruiser and deal with them, and then deal with those transport ships and merchant ships." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
"Yes, General." The officer nodded.
The heavy cruiser 'Tone' is also a heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, which is much larger than those transport ships and merchant ships. Therefore, Sea-search radar found it easily. After all, the larger the ship, the more Radar waves are reflected.
"General, Island Nation's heavy cruiser is twenty-five kilometers north of us!" the officer reported.
"Very good, directly attack the heavy cruiser of Island Nation. At that time, our Battlecruiser, heavy cruiser and Light Cruiser will concentrate their firepower to attack the opponent. Try to sink it in the shortest time. Destroyer, please pay attention. Protect the Capital Ships and the cruisers. There are several destroyers in the Island Nation's fleet. I don't want our warships to be struck by lightning from the Island Nation's," Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
The destroyers Heavy Torpedo of Island Nation Navy are also very powerful, enough to sink the Capital Ships of German Navy.
Soon, German fleet was approaching only 15 kilometers away from the heavy cruiser 'Lingen'. Under the cover of night, the heavy cruiser 'Tone' did not know that it had been targeted by German fleet. So, the crisis suddenly appeared.
"Fire!"
The captain of the Battlecruiser, 'SMS Lützow', gave the order to fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun let out a thundering roar. Heavy artillery shells weighing nearly one ton roared and hit the heavy cruiser 'Tone'.
The two heavy cruisers of German fleet also followed closely. These heavy cruisers are equipped with three triple-mounted 50 times the caliber 210mm Main Gun. Although it is not as powerful as the main gun of Capital Ships, it is still very powerful.
The three-seater triple-mounted 150mm Main Gun equipped on the four Light Cruiser also opened fire.
For a moment, dense shells hit the heavy cruiser 'Tone'. The cannonball fell into the sea, splashing water columns into the sky.
"Baga! What's going on?" Colonel Ōnishi Shinzō, the captain of the heavy cruiser 'Tone', changed his face greatly. It can be seen from the towering water columns splashing around our own warships that this is definitely the large-caliber Naval Gun attacking them.
"Sir, German fleet is here, and we are under heavy shelling from them!" an officer reported.
"Counterattack, counterattack immediately!" Colonel Ōnishi Shinzō ordered.
Although he knew that in front of German fleet, their counterattack was like hitting an egg against a stone. However, he had no other option, so he couldn't just do nothing.
At the same time, Island Nation's Army 28th Army Commander Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō and other generals were also shocked by the violent explosion. They all realized what happened, and their faces turned pale.
"Baga! Why did German fleet appear here?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō looked pale. He knew very well that the fleet sent by Island Nation Navy was not strong. This also means that they cannot be German fleet's opponents at all. There is probably only one final result, and that is to be defeated by German fleet. One can only imagine what would happen to the remaining transport ships and merchant ships under the attack of German fleet.
"Sir Commander, what should we do now? We still have a lot of troops and equipment on transport ships and merchant ships." Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū was very anxious.
The field artillery regiments and artillery battalions of each division are still on transport ships and merchant ships. In addition, a large amount of war supplies are still on board. If it is destroyed by German fleet, then their landing operation will be considered a failure. In fact, all the troops involved in the attack may be lost.
"Why are you still standing there? Immediately order those transport ships and merchant ships to evacuate. As many as you can evacuate count!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō ordered.
"Hi, Sir Commander." Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū immediately went to give the order.
On the beach, Island Nation's Army 2nd Division Commander Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi and 54th Division Commander Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshimitsu also looked very ugly. Seeing that their troops were about to break through German defensive line, but now German fleet appeared, this undoubtedly added a lot of variables to this battle. In fact, it is very likely that their offense will fall short.
"Baga! Why is this happening? Those guys from the navy, why don't you send more warships? In this case, wouldn't we be able to stop German fleet?" Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi was completely on the verge of tears. His 2nd Division has suffered a lot in this battle. If they can win, that's it. They can be replenished soon and regain their combat effectiveness. But now, everything hangs in the balance.
From German military 225th Division's position, there was a burst of cheers. The officers and soldiers of German military obviously knew that their reinforcements were coming, and they would be safer next.
