"Empire will win! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
"Kill all Germany people!"
The officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army shouted slogans loudly and launched an attack on German military's position with great momentum. Since there was no need to launch a night attack, they naturally had to show their most courageous side. As if this can embolden oneself.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Island Nation people's attack has begun!" Major General Abraham reported to Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter.
"Order all ships to open fire! Let the Island Nation people have a good taste of our power." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewind ordered. Island Nation people are coming to die, Otto Lieutenant General Schneewind naturally has no objections. In this case, they can earn a lot of military exploits.
"Yes, General!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser took the lead in starting the bombardment, and the three-seat triplex 380mm Main Gun started roaring.
Other Battlecruiser, heavy cruisers, Light Cruiser and destroyers also followed closely and started bombarding.
All of a sudden, hundreds of artillery pieces from dozens of warships opened fire.
On the German Army's artillery position, Howitzer and field artillery one after another also began shelling.
Even though it was nighttime, the accuracy of the bombardment would be greatly affected. However, firing based on the calibrated shooting elements can also cover the frontline positions very well. This will allow German military's artillery fire to completely cover the front line.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shell exploded in the Island Nation's Army queue, and countless Island Nation soldiers were immediately torn into pieces. Especially those large-caliber Naval Gun, they are even more powerful. With one shot, a large number of Island Nation soldiers were killed.
German military's sudden and violent shelling caused great damage to the attacking Island Nation's Army. If the artillery shells falling like raindrops are frantically harvesting the lives of these Island Nation officers and soldiers.
German Navy's observers on the front line were constantly observing the effects of the bombardment, and then notifying the warships on the sea to change the direction of the bombardment, thereby causing as much damage to the Island Nation's Army as possible.
This is because it is during the day. If it is at night, the bombardment power of German military will be greater. The casualties caused to the Island Nation's Army will also be greater.
The expressions of Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, Lieutenant General Seiichi Tanaka, and other generals Island Nation's Army who were watching the battle gradually changed.
"What's going on? How did the Germany people's artillery fire become so fierce?" Masaharu Honma asked with a frown.
"Listening to the sound, it seems that there are large-caliber heavy artillery inside. 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Germany people, haven't they been withdrawn?" Lieutenant General Seiichi Tanaka's face also became very ugly.
"Your Excellency Commander, that doesn't seem to be an army cannon, but a navy's large-caliber Naval Gun!" an artillery officer reported.
Suddenly, the faces of Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma and Lieutenant General Seiichi Tanaka became even more ugly.
"Baga! German Navy is shelling our troops?" Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma was shocked and angry.
"Nothing is impossible. When the Germany people eliminated 18th Area Army, their navy also participated. Otherwise, 18th Area Army would not have been defeated so quickly." Lieutenant General Seiichi Tanaka said.
"Your Excellency Commander, is this a conspiracy?" asked a Division Commander.
Obviously, if this is another conspiracy, then Island Nation's Army may be in trouble again this time.
"Conspiracy? I don't know either. But maybe German navy appears here just to help them resist our attack!" Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma is still imagining the bright side.
It's not that Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma doesn't know how big the risk is, it's just that he doesn't want to think about it. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and hope that the situation will develop in their favor.
"I hope so! However, our army must be prepared!" Lieutenant General Seiichi Tanaka said.
Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma nodded. "Let 4th Tank Division, 1st Division and 10th Division build a defense line to our west."
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Lieutenant General Masami Maeda immediately went to make arrangements.
These three divisions can be called the main force of the 14th Area Army. When the battle was fierce before, they did not join the battle. It was originally intended to deliver a fatal blow to German military from Brunei City. But now, it has to be used to guard against Germany people.
If all this is really a conspiracy of the Germany people, then the only threat undoubtedly comes from the west. German 23rd Army Corps Those elite troops who withdrew were very likely to kill anyone who turned around.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German military's fierce bombardment continued. Hundreds of cannons from the army, plus Naval Gun from dozens of navy warships, caused unimaginable heavy damage to the Island Nation's Army.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The night turned to day as flares rose from German military's position.
The Island Nation's Army officers and soldiers who finally broke through the German military artillery fire blockade were all exposed under the strong light of the flares. What awaits them is intensive firepower on the German military position.
"Ta-ta-ta! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Light Heavy Machine Gun, mortars and Grenade Launcher all started firing wildly. The more intensive firepower directly caused the attacking Island Nation's Army to hit an invisible wall. His head was bruised and bleeding, and he was unable to move forward.
Although Island Nation's Army invested more than 50,000 people in the attack at night.
However, under the intensive firepower of German military, the casualties of the Island Nation's Army began to skyrocket and became larger and larger.
Many troops were even wiped out by bombings directly during the shelling. One by one, squads, squadrons and even brigades were wiped out by the powerful firepower of German military. Such a result is simply unimaginable to the officers and soldiers of the Island Nation's Army.
German 23rd Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General William Adam and Chief of Staff Major General Erwin Willow went to a place not far from the front line to watch the battle.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Lieutenant General William Adam asked.
"General, reporting from the front, Island Nation's Army's attack is very violent. However, after the artillery fire has weakened, there are not many troops that can actually launch an attack on our defense line. Therefore, the pressure is not very great, and we can completely hold on!" Major General Erwin Willow said.
Lieutenant General William Adam nodded with satisfaction.
"Where is our Armored Forces? Has it returned? We'll have to see theirs after daybreak."
"General, 23rd Armored Division, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division are returning. They have made it clear that they can launch a counterattack on time."
