"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells fell like raindrops one after another, hitting 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army's defense line, leaving huge craters. Especially the craters left by 380mm Shell are extremely huge. The officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army who were affected have been torn into pieces one by one.
"Boom!" A 380mm Shell happened to fall into a Island Nation's Army tent. When the shell exploded, the entire tent disappeared. All the Island Nation soldiers sleeping inside were also gone.
Other large-caliber Naval Gun artillery shells also caused great damage to the Island Nation's Army. Many soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys were torn to pieces even in their sleep and went to see their Amaterasu Omikamis.
"Baga! What's going on?" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura rushed out of his tent in disheveled clothes.
However, what was displayed in front of him was a hell-like scene. There were explosions everywhere, and shells falling from the sky were devouring the lives of the Island Nation's Army soldiers.
"Your Excellency Commander, shelling! German Navy is using large-caliber Naval Gun to bombard us!" Major General Seiji Moriya looked pale.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura also had a trace of despair in his eyes. Such a result was unacceptable to him and something he had never thought of. However, the fact has happened. Even if you don't want to believe it, there is no other way.
"Your Excellency Commander, what should we do now? The Germany people have assembled a large number of warships and are firing at us! Our losses are very heavy." 15th Army Commander Shojiro Iida Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida also ran over with a look of panic.
German Navy gathered dozens of warships to open fire, and the firepower was extremely terrifying. Not to mention there are quite a few Battleship and Battlecruiser among them. The shells fired by 380mm Main Gun, 210mm Main Gun, and Naval Gun can take away the lives of a large number of people at once.
When German Navy dispatched so many warships to fire on the 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army, it was enough to cause a devastating blow to the 18th Area Army.
There were panicked Island Nation's Army soldiers everywhere. Many of them didn't even have time to put on their pants and fled in all directions. However, how could they escape under the intense firepower of German Navy!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous explosions sounded on the 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army position, and a large number of Island Nation soldiers were killed directly in the explosion. In front of the navy's large-caliber Naval Gun, their lives seemed so fragile.
"Order all units to retreat immediately! We can't stay here any longer. If this continues, we will all be killed by Germany's warships!" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura gave the order with a dark face.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Seiji Moriya replied.
However, it seemed too late to give the order to retreat at this time. Under the fierce bombardment of German Navy, 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army suffered very heavy losses. At the same time, their organizational structures collapsed. In the chaos, there were soldiers running away everywhere. They couldn't find their commanders, so they naturally had no intention of obeying orders.
The entire 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army is already in retreat. During this process, German Navy is still seizing opportunities and constantly destroying them.
German 226th Infantry Division On the defense line, German 23rd Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General William Adam and Chief of Staff Major General Erwin Willow, as well as several division commanders involved in the counterattack, all rushed here.
Behind the 226th Infantry Division defense line, the tanks and armored vehicles of the 23rd Zhuang Jiaxin, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division, and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division have long been prepared and can launch an attack at any time.
"It's so spectacular! The main guns of the Navy guys are too powerful. No one can survive such a violent bombardment!" Lieutenant General William Adam sighed.
"Yes, General, this is a completely destructive force. I have to observe a few minutes of silence for the Island Nation people. However, those Island Nation people who died under the bombardment of these large-caliber Naval Gun should be able to die without pain. This can be regarded as a kind of mercy." Major General Erwin Willow said.
"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. Such a scene almost happened to us!" 226th Infantry Division Commander Major General Friedrich looked frightened.
Island Nation's Army requested Navy's fire support. It was for this reason that the Island Nation Navy task force joined the battle. However, it was eventually intercepted by German Navy, and it also suffered losses from participating in the war. If German Army fails to intercept Island Nation Navy in time, or is defeated by Island Nation Navy instead, the consequences will be disastrous. By then, the entire 226th Infantry Division will probably be destroyed under such fierce bombardment.
"Haha!" Lieutenant General William Adam and other German military generals couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, 226th Infantry Division can be considered a narrow escape this time!
German Navy Battleship formation's shelling lasted for a full hour before it ended. When they stopped shelling, 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army's position was no different from the surface of the moon. There are craters like craters everywhere. The Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers stationed on these positions suffered even more heavy losses.
The officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army, who had finally escaped, were even more desperate to escape. None of them were fools. After being severely bombarded by German Navy and suffering heavy losses. They all knew that German Army's counterattack would probably begin immediately. Under such circumstances, they are undoubtedly unable to resist German Army's attack.
"Attack! Destroy 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army in one fell swoop!" German 23rd Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General William Adam issued the order.
23rd Armored Division, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched an attack. Hundreds of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles drove out of their positions and rushed towards the 18th Area Army's position.
However, when they rushed to the position, they discovered that there was no one on the position. There were craters and broken limbs everywhere. Some larger craters require tanks and armored vehicles to bypass them. Otherwise, you might get stuck and not be able to get out.
Although Island Nation Road 18th Area Army has already begun to flee. However, how could they escape Armored Forces's pursuit? German 23rd Army Corps The powerful Armored Forces easily broke through the 18th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army's interception and began to completely annihilate this front army.
