"Rumble!" The sounds of tank engines gathered together, like thunder. Hundreds of tanks from both sides are approaching.
"Baga! German tanks is really big! At least twice the size of ours!" A Tank Commander of a Type 95 light tank couldn't help but sigh after seeing German military's Tiger-Panther tanks.
Compared with the German military tank, the Island Nation's Army tank is indeed too small. Their tanks are also called "bean tanks". As the name suggests, they are tanks the size of soybeans. As you can imagine, compared with the mainstream tank Europe, the tank Island Nation's Army is not only small in size, but also has very weak armor. It may be able to show off its power against infantry without anti-tank capabilities. However, when engaging in an armored duel with world-class tanks, the consequences can be imagined.
"Attention, each company, keep a distance, and deal with the Island Nation tanks at a long distance!" The commander of a German military heavy tank battalion issued the order. This battalion is equipped with 'Mighty Tiger' tanks.
"Yes, sir!" Tank Commanders can directly hear the orders issued by the battalion headquarters through the radio.
"Boom!"
A 'Mighty Tiger' tank opened fire. The 88mm Tank Cannon sprayed out a stream of orange-red fire, and a Armor-piercing Shell roared towards the Island Nation tank more than a thousand meters away.
In the blink of an eye, the Island Nation tank exploded into a ball of fire. The weak armor of the Island Nation tank cannot withstand the powerful Tank Cannon of the German tanks. Whether it is the 88mm Tank Cannon of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank or the 75mm Tank Cannon of the 'Panther tank' tank, they can easily break through the weak armor of these Island Nation's Army tanks. In front of the powerful tanks of German military, these tanks of the Island Nation's Army are really no different from paper. It can be said that the tanks on both sides are not on the same level at all.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The German military tanks opened fire one after another from a long distance, turning one Island Nation tank after another into fireballs.
It can be said that the tanks of the Island Nation's Army are completely unable to withstand the bombardment of Tank Cannon of German military. Unless it misses, otherwise it will be destroyed.
In less than ten minutes, Island Nation's Army tank 2nd Division lost more than fifty tanks.
"Baga! How could this happen? How could our tanks be no match for the Germany people?" Island Nation's Army tank 2nd Division Commander Lieutenant General Iwanaka Yoshiharu looked angry.
He himself could feel that in front of German tanks, their tanks had no power to parry.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, German tanks is so powerful that it can easily destroy our tanks at a distance of more than a thousand meters!" Brigade Regimental Commander of the 3rd Tank Brigade reported.
"Damn it! We must find a way to defeat the Germany people, or at least resist them. Otherwise, we will lose this battle. Once we lose, the consequences will be disastrous!" Lieutenant General Iwanaka Yoshiharu ordered.
"Hi, Mr. Division Commander!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Facing German armored forces's attack, Island Nation's Army tanks and 2nd Division tanks also launched a counterattack. But unfortunately, the distance of thousands of meters is too far for them, and it is difficult for them to hit the target. Even if they hit the target, the 37mm tank Tank Cannon of the Type 95 light tank and the 57mm Tank Cannon of the Type 97 medium tank can't do anything with the thick armor of the German tanks.
"Baga! What's going on? We clearly hit German tanks? How come nothing happened?" Tank Commander, a Island Nation tank, looked stunned. The Armor-piercing Shell they fired clearly hit a 'Mighty Tiger' tank belonging to German military. However, nothing happened to the tank and it was still moving.
The Armor-piercing Shell launched by the 57mm Tank Cannon is indeed of no use to the armor of the later generations of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank. At most, it only leaves a shallow dent on the armor.
On the other hand, German military's 'Mighty Tiger' tank and 'Panther tank' tank, once they hit the Island Nation's Army tank, they are usually destroyed, and there will be absolutely no exceptions.
This tank battle has completely become an asymmetric battle. The tank troops of German military relied on their excellent tank performance to continuously destroy the tanks of the Island Nation's Army.
As the losses increased, the Island Nation's Army tank 2nd Division was on the verge of collapse.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, we can't resist anymore. We have lost more than half of our tanks!" Lieutenant Colonel Wing Commander Takahashi Seigo of the 6th Tank Regiment reported with a Panic look on his face.
"Baga!" Lieutenant General Iwanaka Yoshiji yelled. He felt deeply ashamed. Because the tank troops under his command were completely vulnerable to German armored forces. Such a result was completely unacceptable to him.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, we must retreat. Otherwise, we will all be lost here!" Lieutenant Colonel Wing Commander Harada Kazuo of the 10th Tank Regiment reported.
"Baga! Even if all the jade is broken, we cannot retreat!" Lieutenant General Imanaka Yoshiji ordered.
Subsequently, Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Iwanaka issued the order for the tank 2nd Division to fight to the end. At the same time, Telegram was sent to the 14th Area Army Headquarters so that Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma could prepare early. Because he knew that even if the tank 2nd Division tried its best, it might not be able to last for long.
There will be no suspense in the next battle. German military 23rd Armored Division, all Island Nation's Army tanks 2nd Division were eliminated at a small cost. Those Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 medium tanks were all destroyed. A large number of armored vehicles and Truck were either destroyed or captured.
At the same time, German military 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division's attack on the Island Nation's Army 1st Division and 10th Division also began. German military's Mechanized Infantry Division has far less armor power than Armored Forces. But for pure infantry, it is still irresistible.
The Steel Torrent composed of two Mechanized Infantry Division tanks and armored vehicles from German military easily broke through the defense lines of the Island Nation's Army 1st Division and 10th Division.
After that, German military relied on tanks and armored vehicles to massacre Island Nation's Army 1st Division and 10th Division, easily defeating these two divisions.
A large number of broken troops retreated eastward along the coastal road, but their retreat speed could not be compared with German military's tanks and armored vehicles. Although these soldiers of the Island Nation's Armys are also very brave, after being caught up, they will often fight to the end. But this could not save them from being defeated. The fate of the entire 14th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army and 7th Area Army seems to have been doomed.
