"Damn! Bastard! Where is our plane? Why haven't we come yet? Do we really have to wait for us to be blown up by the Bomber of the Germany people before they come to collect our bodies?" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida was furious.
Seeing his own artillery and artillery being continuously destroyed by German Air Force's Bomber, his heart felt like bleeding. Island Nation's Army's artillery is not strong to begin with. After such heavy losses, I am afraid that these artillery will not be of any use in the next battle. In the end, they will have to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, so that they may be able to break through German defensive line. And that kind of tactic is also the tactic that Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida least wants to use.
"Sir Commander, Army Air Force's fighter plane needs to take off from Philippine Islands, which is slower than German aircraft." Major General Haruki Isayama said.
"Hmph! No need to explain to those idiots. If we eventually lose to the Germany people, those idiots must bear the greatest responsibility!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida said bitterly.
When Island Nation's Army Air Force's fighter force arrived belatedly, Dive Bomber of German Air Force and Attacker on the ground had completed their mission and evacuated this airspace. Only those BF-109 fighter jets stayed and started an air battle with the Island Nation's Army Air Force fighter jets. However, the battle was almost as one-sided as ever. Those Type 1 fighter plane and Type 97 fighter plane of Island Nation's Army Air Force are no match for the BF-109 fighter jets of German Air Force. The exchange ratio is at least one to five.
Under the joint attack of German Air Force and artillery, Island Nation's Army 15th Army's artillery was almost completely lost. In the end, only a few dozen of the more than two hundred artillery pieces were left. The rest of the artillery were all destroyed by German military. Without these artillery pieces, facing German military's solid defensive position, Island Nation's Army would probably have to use human lives to fill it.
When Island Nation's Army's artillery withdrew from the battlefield and hid, German artillerymen also stopped shelling. Although German military does not lack shells, it cannot be wasted casually! Those cannonballs have to hit Island Nation people's heads to be considered as no waste.
"Your Excellency Commander, what should we do next?" Major General Haruki Isayama asked.
"What else can we do? Order the troops to attack! His Excellency Commander Nakamura has issued an order, requiring us to break through the Germany people's defense line as soon as possible. Without artillery, we can only fight with human lives!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida said somewhat helplessly. He didn't like using such tactics, but when he was forced to have no choice, he could only stop taking the lives of the soldiers seriously. This is originally the normal psychology of the Island Nation's Army generals.
Major General Haruki Isayama nodded. If the artillery was still there, perhaps he could use violent shelling to destroy German defensive line. In this case, you can pay less losses when attacking. However, when the artillery was completely lost, they could only use human lives to pile up. Break through German defensive line through an attack regardless of casualties.
"Kitano-kun, 4th Division is the standing division of the Empire. Then, the first round of attack will start with 4th Division! I hope you can break through the Germany people's defense line in one go!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Lieutenant General 4th Division Commander Kitano Kenzō replied.
4th Division is one of the standing divisions of the Island Nation's Army, a powerful division with four main infantry regiments. Because most of 4th Division's officers and soldiers come from the Osaka area. Therefore, there are rumors that the officers and soldiers of 4th Division are all the sons of businessmen and their combat effectiveness is vulnerable. But in fact, the combat effectiveness of 4th Division cannot be underestimated. Even if it is not as good as 2nd Division and 6th Division, it is still a division with strong combat effectiveness.
After receiving the order from Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzō issued the order to attack. The 8th Infantry Regiment, 37th Regiment, 61st Regiment and 70th Regiment under 2nd Division entered the attack position one after another.
"Valiants of the Empire, charge for the victory of the Empire!"
When Commander issued the order to attack, more than 10,000 Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers marched bow-leggedly and launched an attack on German military's position. They chanted slogans loudly and with great momentum, as if they had no idea that their artillery had just suffered a devastating blow.
"What a heroic force! If our artillery had not been destroyed, after sufficient artillery preparations, it would have been easy enough to break through the Germany people's defense line!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida looked at the 4th Division infantry attack with a look of regret. He knew that these attacking troops would definitely be beaten to death in front of German military's solid defense line.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander! The Valiants of the Empire are the least afraid of death. If we have as sophisticated weapons as the Germany people, the final winner will definitely be the Imperial Army people. We can easily defeat the Germany people!" Major General Haruki Isayama said.
In the eyes of many Island Nation's Army generals, the main reason why German Army can become the world's number one is undoubtedly that German military's equipment is the strongest in the world. If this factor is deducted, Island Nation's Army can easily defeat them. After all, Island Nation's Army is definitely the army that is least afraid of death when it comes to fighting. With such a tenacious will to fight, few countries' armies can confront them.
However, this is just their conjecture, or they are just making excuses for their failure. There is no real fairness in this world. Germany is technologically advanced, so we can't let German military's soldiers be equipped with the same weapons as Island Nation's Army, right? That would be unfair to them.
The scene of more than 10,000 people launching an attack was undoubtedly spectacular, especially after the Island Nation's Army launched the 'Pig Attack'. The so-called pig attack means charging forward like a wild boar. Island Nation's Army has always emphasized offense and mechanically believed that offense was the only means. Its "Operation Order" requires that all troops must completely "believe" in the will to attack, and they must launch a decisive charge even if the difference is huge. By the time World War II broke out, this theory had reached its peak.
Lack of material is Island Nation's inherent weakness. Island Nation's Army's experience from the Island-Russia War is that a brave spirit and skillful stabbing can completely defeat a strong enemy. They believe that the one-sided emphasis on spiritual education, high-intensity training, the spirit of sacrifice for the country, and brave and fearless attacks on the troops are enough to make up for the lack of equipment and materials.
But in fact, this is undoubtedly very ridiculous.
