"Baga! Where are our fighter planes? Why haven't they shown up yet? Do they have to wait until the Germany people blow our heads off before they come?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō looked angry.
"General, 3rd Air Force and 4th Air Force have sent fighter planes to reinforce us. However, they are still on the way!" Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū reported.
The Island Nation's Army Air Force fighter plane takes off from the Philippine Islands airport, which is undoubtedly much farther than the German military fighter plane that takes off from the Borneo western airport. In addition, the performance of German Air Force fighter planes is much stronger than that of Island Nation's Army Air Force. In every air battle, Island Nation's Army Air Force will suffer much more losses than German Air Force. This also caused many Island Nation's Army Air Force pilots to become a little afraid of fighting.
Although Island Nation's Army has a strong will to fight, they are naturally not so brave when it is obvious that they will die.
In order to seize air superiority, Island Nation's Army Air Force also tried to sneak attack German Air Force's airport at Borneo. However, the large-scale air search Radar equipped by German Air Force made Island Nation's Army Air Force's plan ultimately aborted. They have to continue to fight against German Air Force. But it is obvious that this kind of seriously unequal battle damage will cause Island Nation's Army Air Force to suffer more and more losses. After that, they may no longer be able to support the consumption of the war.
"There is no air support and no artillery support. Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to eliminate those Island Nation people!" Lieutenant General Honda Masanori couldn't help but shook his head. Obviously, he knew that this would undoubtedly be another hard battle for them.
"Mr. Honda, there is no way around this. The advantage that the Germany people have is too big and too obvious. Compared with them, the gap in equipment between us and them is too big. In order to win, we can only ignore casualties." Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō also sighed.
Although, Island Nation's Army's generals are almost all hard-hearted people. They never took the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously, thinking that these soldiers were nothing more than consumables to win victory. However, the huge loss will still make them emotional. After all, although Island Nation has a population of 70 to 80 million, it can be considered a populous country. But if all young people are sent to the battlefield in order to win this war and let them die, even if they can win in the end, Island Nation may not have much development prospects.
"Order each division to launch an attack! Even without artillery support, we will definitely be able to eliminate those Germany people!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō ordered. Although he knew that after such an order was issued, there would inevitably be a bloody result.
Lieutenant General Honda Masanori is a little helpless, but when there is no other way, it can only do this.
"Empire Valiants, charge! Defeat the Germany people and kill them all!" Countless Island Nation soldiers, led by low-level officers, began to attack. They carried rifles with bayonets in their hands, walked bow-legged, bravely and fearlessly faced German military's hail of bullets, and launched an attack on German military's position. In order to break through German defensive line in one go, Island Nation's Army invested the main force in this wave of attacks.
The 143rd Infantry Regiment and 144th Regiment under 55th Division, the 124th Infantry Regiment and 138th Regiment under 31st Division, the 153rd Infantry Regiment and 168th Regiment under 49th Division, and the 128th Infantry Regiment and 151st Regiment under 53rd Division all went into the attack. The eight infantry regiments invested at one time have a total strength of more than 20,000 people. You know, these are all first-line Operations Department teams, excluding other second-line troops and civilian personnel, which can be regarded as the main force.
"Empire is onboard! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
Countless Island Nation soldiers chanted slogans and launched an attack bravely.
But what greeted them was the cannonballs falling like raindrops.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shell exploded in the Island Nation's Army queue, and countless human bodies were torn into pieces under the huge power. The flying shrapnel is trapped in the gravel and soil, harvesting lives.
Although Island Nation's Army formed a skirmish line when attacking. However, under the fierce bombardment of German military, heavy losses were still suffered. After the Island Nation's Army artillery suffered a devastating blow from the German military artillery and the air force, they could only rely on the mortars and Grenade Launcher that accompanied the infantry to attack.
However, German artillerymen clearly has an overwhelming advantage. So much so that Island Nation's Army was completely suppressed during the battle.
The real threat to the Island Nation's Army is still machine gun firepower. When Island Nation's Army passed through the blockade of artillery shells and rushed in front of German defensive line, they were greeted by the powerful machine gun firepower of German military.
"Click!" The large-caliber Heavy Machine Gun, General Purpose Machine Gun and Squad Automatic Weapon all started shooting. German military The automatic rifles, Semi-Automatic Rifle, and submachine guns equipped by ordinary soldiers have a rate of fire far higher than the Type 38 rifle equipped by the Island Nation's Army. So much so that the dense rain of bullets directly blinded Island Nation's Army. Countless Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming. There is no doubt that Island Nation's Army's attack was hit by German military's powerful firepower, causing serious injuries and heavy losses.
"Damn it, how come Germany people's firepower is so powerful?"
"How many machine guns are they equipped with? Are the Germany people so rich that they equip every soldier with a machine gun? In that case, how can we fight this battle?"
In the face of German military's powerful firepower, Island Nation's Army's attack was completely contained. Many Island Nation soldiers could only lie on the ground and listen to the bullets flying over their heads. This feeling is enough to make one's scalp numb.
"Come on!"
A Island Nation's Army second lieutenant officer, waving the samurai sword in his hand, bravely led his men to charge.
However, the oncoming bullets hit him into a honeycomb in an instant. His team was also severely damaged in a very short period of time and almost lost all of them.
"Your Excellency Commander, the firepower of the Germany people is still very strong. The attacking troops suffered very heavy losses. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break through the Germany people's defense line in a short time." Rear Admiral Iwapachi Gōyū said with an ugly face.
"Damn it! How could this happen? Didn't it mean that those Germany people had been severely injured in the previous battle? But why are their fighting power still so strong?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzō couldn't believe the facts he saw before him.
