In the northwest of Sumatra Island, the nearly 300 kilometers of coast from Banda Aceh to Medan are the areas where German military landed. German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet's Capital Ships's seven Capital Ships formations, a large number of cruisers and destroyers, opened fire frantically on the beach within ten kilometers of the coast.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Large-caliber heavy artillery shells fell one after another, causing a devastating blow to the position built by the Island Nation's Army on the coast. Defense fortifications were constantly destroyed under the fierce bombardment of German military. Many soldiers who fell in were killed directly under the fierce shelling of German military.
"Woo!"
With a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, Dive Bomber of German Air Force threw a heavy Aerial Bomb onto the Island Nation's Army's position.
The bomb made a violent explosion, leaving a huge crater on the Island Nation's Army's position. Almost all Island Nation's Army in this area were torn into pieces.
A formation of twelve H-11 medium-sized Bomber flew over the sky two thousand meters high. The magazine opened, and bombs fell like raindrops one after another, directly blowing up a section of the Island Nation's Army's position into a sea of flames. Island Nation's Army, who was stationed in this section of the position, suffered heavy casualties.
Under the joint attack of German Navy and the Air Force, the troops stationed on this line of defense by the Island Nation's Army suffered very heavy losses.
The frontal defense against German military is 14th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army. This army is very strong. In addition, the defense zone of the 7th Area Army is right next to the 14th Area Army. Once 14th Area Army cannot resist German offensive, 7th Area Army will immediately come to reinforce him. The Island Nation's Army 2nd Army and the 18th Army serve as reserves.
Medan, 14th Area Army of the Island Nation's Army Headquarters, Commander General Yamashita Fengwen has gotten up. German military's sudden attack forced him to leave the bed.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Germany people's offensive is very fierce. They are attacking our defense line with warships and aircraft. The defensive offensive built on the front line is being rapidly destroyed. The losses of each unit are also very large." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Muto Akira reported.
General Yamashita Fengwen's expression was serious. He knew that now his 14th Area Army was about to face the biggest test.
"Order all frontline units to conserve their strength as much as possible before the Germany people launch a landing. But once the Germany people launch a landing, they must fight to the death and do their best to resist the Germany people's attack." General Yamashita Fengwen ordered.
Under the fierce shelling of German Navy and the bombing of German Air Force, continuing to hold on to the defense line is no different from surrendering to death. The navy's Naval Gun firepower is not so easy to resist. Even the destroyer's 105mm Naval Gun is much more powerful than the army's 105mm Howitzer. To resist forcefully without control of the sea is to seek death. As for the fortifications, there is nothing that can be done if they are destroyed. Compared with those fortifications, talents are the most important.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Muto nodded. He also believed that General Yamashita Fengwen's decision was extremely correct.
"In addition, report to Southern Army Headquarters that we have been attacked by Germany people. The war has begun. At the same time, send Telegram to the 7th Area Army, the 2nd Army and the 18th Army so that they can be prepared to reinforce us at any time!" said General Yamashita Fengfumi.
Although 14th Area Army has strong troops, it is almost impossible to resist German offensive alone. Support from other forces will be essential.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Muto immediately went to make arrangements.
"Hopefully, we can withstand the Germany people's attack this time!" General Yamashita Fengwen's eyes showed worry that could not be concealed.
In fact, without Yamashita Fengwen's report, General Island Nation Southern Army Commander Terauchi Juichi also knew that German military had launched an attack on them. Because Java Island was also attacked.
German Navy Pacific Fleet's four 'Bavaria-class' Battleship, leading a group of cruisers and destroyers, forced their way through the Sunda Strait. When Island Nation Navy's main force evacuated South Seas, German Navy went on a rampage.
Of course, German Navy also pays great attention to anti-submarine and air defense. Sonar and air search Radar remain on.
Because the southern part of Java Island is mountainous, the terrain is not suitable for landing. Therefore, German Navy is preparing to land directly to the north of Java Island. The terrain here is flat and there are many ports, making it more suitable for launching landing operations.
Island Nation's Army may not have expected that German Navy would directly break through the Sunda Strait and launch an attack from the north of Java Island.
From Cilegon in the west of Java Island to Semarang, the 300-kilometer-long coastline has become the landing point of German military. Of course, German military cannot all be scattered along such a long coastline. Batavia, Cirebon, Pekalongan and Semarang, these four places, will be the main landing points of German military. Of course, German military also knows very well that Island Nation's Army's defense in Batavia is very tight. It will be very difficult to log in directly from here and open up the situation. Therefore, it was just a feint in Batavia. The other three cities are the main landing points.
General Southern Army Commander Terauchi Juichi jumped out of bed the moment Batavia was shelled and rushed to the underground headquarters immediately.
Compared with the headquarters on the ground, although the underground headquarters is not comfortable enough, it is undoubtedly safer. General Terauchi Juichi did not want to be killed under the fierce shelling and bombing of the Germany people. In that case, it would be too unworthy.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Germany people launched violent shelling and bombing on Batavia, Cirebon, Pekalongan and Semarang. At the same time, there were also a large number of Germany people's transport ships on the Java Sea. Obviously, they wanted to launch a landing operation against Java Island." Lieutenant General Tadaichi Tsukada reported.
"Baga! Germany people actually dare to enter Java Sea. Do they think that since Imperial Navy has evacuated, there is nothing we can do against them? Call Air Force and ask them to They took off fighter planes, bombed the warships and transport ships of the Germany people on the Java Sea, and sent all the Germany people to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!" General Terauchi Juichi ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Tadaichi Tsukada immediately went to give the order.
However, he returned a few minutes later. Moreover, his face was very ugly.
"General, the Germany people took the lead and dispatched a large number of Bomber to bomb our airport. The airports on Java Island, Borneo and Sumatra Island were all heavily bombed by the Germany people, and Air Force suffered heavy losses."
