"Contact Army Air Force and tell them we need fire support! If the German artillery position cannot be destroyed, we don't know how many people will die under their artillery fire!" Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Miyoshi Tomochika replied.
"In addition, let the front army contact the navy. If the navy can dispatch Capital Ships to destroy the German artillery position, that would be great." Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki continued.
Although he knew that it would be very difficult for Island Nation Navy to take risks. However, as there is no other way, we can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Miyoshi Tomochika nodded.
A Communications Officer immediately sent Telegram to request support from Area Army Headquarters. However, all the Island Nation's Army generals knew that such requests for help would probably have no effect. Not to mention that Lieutenant General 14 Front Commander Masaharu Honma has no way, even General Southern Army Commander Hitoshi Anami probably has no way to solve such trouble.
"Your Excellency Commander, do the 22nd Field Artillery Regiment, the 100th Division Artillery Team and the 102nd Division Artillery Team still need to enter the battlefield?" Major General Miyoshi Tomochika asked.
Immediately, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, Lieutenant General Harada Jiro and Lieutenant General Fukuhara Shinpei all glared at Major General Miyoshi Tomochika fiercely. Knowing that German artillerymen is so powerful and letting their artillery enter the battlefield, isn't that asking their artillery to die?
Although Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki was very angry, he was not a fool. He knew that if the artillery was sent out again, they would undoubtedly die. This is clearly like throwing an egg at a rock, and only a fool can do it.
"No need for now! Let's wait until night before sending them out. At night, the Germany people will not be able to suppress our artillery so easily!" Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki said. He raised his head at the same time and glanced viciously at the school shooting aircraft in the sky. He knew that the reason why German military's artillery shells were able to hit their artillery positions so accurately was because of the fault of the school firing aircraft.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Miyoshi Tomochika replied.
The eyes of Lieutenant General Asasaburo Kobayashi and Lieutenant General Tōkichi Hōjō fell on the face of Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki. Their artillery was completely lost, so did they still need to attack with infantry? If they had a choice, they would definitely choose to give up the offense. However, it is a pity that they cannot sit on this master. Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki has the final say in everything.
Sōsaku Suzuki Lieutenant General also obviously knew the intentions of the two men. However, at this juncture, it was certainly impossible for him to give up the attack. Otherwise, how could he explain to Area Army Headquarters? Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma asked him to launch attacks non-stop after arriving at the front line, and launch attacks at all costs. No matter how heavy the losses were, he must break through German defensive line.
Obviously, Island Nation's Army planned to launch an attack regardless of casualties to defeat German military.
"Kobayashi-kun, Hojo-kun, launch an attack! Even without artillery support, we must break through the Germany people's defense line and defeat them!" Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki said expressionlessly.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Lieutenant General Asasaburo Kobayashi and Lieutenant General Tōkichi Hōjō replied. Facing the order of Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki, they had no way to disobey and could only obey the order.
"Attack!" Island Nation's Army The troops immediately issued the order to attack.
74th Infantry Regiment and the 77th Regiment under 30th Division were independently combined into four infantry brigades under the 54th Brigade. A total of ten infantry brigades with more than 10,000 people launched an attack on German defensive line.
These Island Nation's Army soldiers, wearing khaki military uniforms, formed a sparse skirmish line along the road and launched an attack on German defensive line at the other end of the valley.
However, what greeted them was the fierce bombardment of German military. Brunei City, as the headquarters of German 23rd Army Corps, stores a large amount of weapons and ammunition. There is no need to worry about running out of ammunition. Therefore, the artillerymen opened their arms and opened fire wildly. No matter how expensive these shells are, even if they exchange ten shells for one Island Nation person's life, they will not lose money.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells fell like raindrops, and there were continuous explosions in the valley.
Soldiers of the Island Nation's Army were constantly being blown up into the sky. The shrapnel flying around was killing these Island Nation soldiers.
"Boom!"
A 210mm shell exploded, leaving a large crater in the ground. All the surrounding Island Nation soldiers were killed. Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere, looking very bloody.
"Come on! Break through the Germany people's defense line and kill them all!" Countless Island Nation soldiers were not frightened by German military's fierce shelling. Under the leadership of their officers, they violently attacked German defensive line. Although their bow-legged running was not very fast, no one took even a step back. I have to admit that the courage of these Island Nation soldiers during the battle is undoubtedly amazing.
However, courage often cannot bring victory. Facing the fierce bombardment of German military, Island Nation's Army paid a huge price during the attack. Many soldiers were killed before they even reached German defensive line. If this continues, apart from consuming some German military shells, Island Nation's Army will have no other effect at all.
Sōsaku Suzuki Lieutenant General and others hid behind and watched this scene with binoculars. Their faces were ashen as they watched their own officers and soldiers being killed in the artillery fire. However, although the losses of the troops were staggering, Lieutenant General Sōsaku Suzuki and others had no intention of letting the troops stop attacking. In their view, the lives of these ordinary soldiers are not that important. As long as we can win the final victory, it doesn't matter even if everyone dies.
"Damn it, the Germany people's artillery fire is too fierce. Attacking like this is no different from dying!" Lieutenant General Asasaburo Kobayashi couldn't help but curse.
"Xiaolin-kun, there is no way around this. I hope the sacrifices of our Valiants are meaningful!" Lieutenant General Tōkichi Hōjō said.
"Tsk tsk! Island Nation people are really crazy. Is it because they have enough troops that they can send soldiers to die without restraint?" German military 227th Infantry Division commander Major General Laizer said with a smile.
"Island Nation The more people die, the better! Even if they are all killed by our shells, I don't have any objection at all!" Major General Manteuffel's face was also full of smiles.
