"It's really spectacular! I have to admit that the charge of the Island Nation people is still very impressive. So many people launched an attack without fear of death, which is impossible for the army of ordinary countries!" Major General Friedrich said with admiration.
"General, the Island Nation people are obviously too stupid. Their attack method is a perfect target for our intensive firepower. We can easily massacre them with intensive firepower!" Brigadier General Georg said.
"So, it is indeed admirable that Island Nation people can be so stupid!" Major General Friedrich said with a smile.
"Fire!"
With the order of German military Artillery Commander, German military Artillery, which had been silent for a while, once again began to show off its power. This time, not only were the 150mm heavy-duty Howitzer and 105mm Light Howitzer fired, but those 75mm Field Gun finally got a chance to perform. Although 75mm Field Gun's cannonballs are not very powerful, there is no doubt that there is no problem in tearing apart a fragile human body.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Cannonballs shuttled through the air one after another, making a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.
The soldiers on the Island Nation road who were attacking on the ground turned a deaf ear to these roars and continued to charge, as if they were not afraid of these shells falling into their ranks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells fell into the Island Nation's Army queue one after another, and violent explosions occurred. The shock wave carried shrapnel and swept around, harvesting the lives of those Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers. There are blank spaces left in the queue of the Island Nation's Army.
However, Island Nation's Army has a lot of offensive troops, and these gaps are quickly filled.
However, German military's bombardment was also continuous. Those shells fell like raindrops, constantly taking away the lives of the Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers one by one. Many Island Nation soldiers were even torn to pieces directly in the explosion.
"Germany people's artillery fire is more intense than before!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida's face was ashen. Any general would probably feel bad if he saw his soldiers being killed like this.
"Your Excellency Commander, the field artillery of the Island Nation people has also joined in. When they were dealing with our artillery before, their field artillery did not fire. Now, they are pouring all their firepower on our infantry." Major General Haruki Isayama said with an ugly face.
Shojiro Iida Lieutenant General didn't say anything more. Perhaps in his heart, he thought that this war was wrong from the beginning. With the strength of the Island Nation's Army, fighting against German military who is armed to the teeth, what is the difference between that and hitting a stone with an egg! It is a pity that so many young people have to be sent to the battlefield and die by their own hands.
"Come on! Empire is onboard, His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
The brave officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army continued to charge even in the face of fierce bombardment by German military. Their attacks continued until they were killed by shells.
"Mortar, Grenade Launcher fire!"
When the officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army finally broke through the artillery blockade of German military, what awaited them was still a continuous barrage of firepower. The mortars and Grenade Launcher of the 2261st Infantry Regiment on the position have been prepared for a long time.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The attack continued, with artillery shells and grenades smashing into the Island Nation's Army's queue one after another, taking away the lives of those Island Nation soldiers.
"Machine gun fire! Kill all those Island Nation people!"
As the officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army approached German defensive line, German military's various weapons also opened fire in varying degrees.
Large-caliber Heavy Machine Gun, General Purpose Machine Gun, and Squad Automatic Weapon started shooting one after another. Dense bullets were fired at the officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army like a storm.
If Island Nation's Army, who is attacking crazily, hits an invisible wall, countless people will fall to the ground. Their bodies were covered with bullet holes. Some soldiers of the Island Nation's Army were even beaten into sieves.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
When the automatic rifles, Semi-Automatic Rifle and Sniper Rifle in the hands of the soldiers started shooting, the battle had reached a climax. The officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army who paid a heavy price to rush to German defensive line were knocked to the ground under the intense firepower and lost their lives. These Island Nation soldiers fell to the ground unwillingly. They could not close their eyes for a long time, but they had lost their spirit!
"Go to hell, Germany people!" A brave Island Nation soldier held up the Type 38 rifle in his hand and wanted to fire at German military. However, a sniper from German military opened fire first. The large-caliber Sniper Rifle bullet hit his head, and the whole head exploded. Mixed red and white things were scattered everywhere.
"Massacre, this is no longer a battle, but a massacre!" Lieutenant General Island Nation's Army 3rd Division Regiment Division Commander Kitano Kenzō closed his eyes in pain. The soldiers who were killed were all young men! However, for the Empire, they are now dying here, thousands of miles away from their hometown.
"Kitano-kun, there is no way around this. If there is a war, there will be death. The firepower of the Germany people is too strong. If we want to break through their defense line, we have to pay a heavy price! As long as we can win, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida said.
Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzō nodded, indeed, in order to win, casualties are inevitable. However, what if you still cannot break through German defensive line despite heavy casualties? Wasn't the loss in vain? However, such words are obviously not something he, as Division Commander, can say.
Island Nation's Army 4th Division's attack was very violent. But German defensive line is still strong. Just like the rocks on the seaside that easily withstood the impact of the waves, they remained motionless.
When the sky darkened, 4th Division's four main infantry regiments had already suffered heavy losses. It was not until this moment that Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida issued the order to stop the attack. However, 4th Division doesn't have much combat power left. The losses of several main infantry regiments exceeded 70%. If it were in West, these troops would have lost their combat effectiveness long ago.
"Chiba-kun, Kawata-kun, you are responsible for the attack at night!" Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida issued the order.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Chiba Kuma-ji and Lieutenant General Kawata Suezaburo replied.
