Jagged Germany

   "Your Excellency, Commander, the order from the Front Army Headquarters has been issued." Major General Yanban Haoxiong handed a telegram to Lieutenant General Sakurai Shousan.

   Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo took a look and sighed. The telegram stated that General Hisao Nishio, the commander of the Southern Army, had given an order to continue the offensive. Therefore, Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo had no choice but to continue sending troops to Borneo.

"Tonight, the 55th Division and the 31st Division will come to reinforce us. The 33rd Division and the 49th Division will go to reinforce the 33rd Army. The follow-up troops will also arrive one after another. It seems that the entire Lanyin Front Army We have to go into battle." Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai said. He didn't know how many of the 200,000 Lanyin Front Army would be left after such a tragic battle.

   "General, shall we continue to attack?" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong asked.

  Lieutenant General Sakurai shook his head: "Forget it, wait until the reinforcements arrive, and launch an attack tomorrow morning. Both the 2nd Division and the 54th Division suffered heavy losses, so we must leave some seeds for them."

  Major General Yanpan Haoxiong nodded and didn't say much.

   On the day of March 4th, the Japanese Army stopped its offensive and huddled on the beach, lingering on its last breath. However, the German army is still using artillery of various calibers to fire at the positions of the Japanese army. Further consume their vitality.

   In the face of this kind of attack from the German army, Daoguolu had no choice but to bear it passively. Their artillery and artillery were sent to the sea by the German fleet last night to feed the fish. So much so that they didn't have powerful artillery to counter the German artillery. Of course, the artillery strength of the Japanese army is not as good as that of the German army. Even if their artillery was not destroyed, they were no match for German artillery.

   It was finally night, and the German shelling finally stopped. This made the Japanese army breathe a sigh of relief.

  After nightfall, the Lantian Army of the Island Army dispatched a convoy from Zamboanga to send four divisions of the Island Army to Borneo. In order to strengthen the defense and avoid being taken advantage of by German submarines or surface fleets, the navy of the island country also had to grit its teeth and dispatch a more powerful **** fleet. The remaining two of the "Kii-class" battleships, namely the battleship "Suruga" and the battleship "Omi", plus the five "Kuma-class" heavy cruisers and the light cruiser "Yubari", plus the "Yubari" All 19 of the Cloud-class destroyers form a huge fleet.

   Such a huge fleet is definitely the main force in the navy of the island country. After all, there are not many capital ships left in the Japanese navy. Before the 'Yamato-class' battleships entered service, every one of their capital ships was a treasure. Heavy cruisers and light cruisers also lost a lot, and there were not many left. However, there are still many destroyers. However, the role that destroyers can play in naval battles is very limited.

   Fortunately, the 23rd Army of the German Army decided to retreat from Siena Port and Lahad Datu, attracting the main force of the island country army to the hinterland of Borneo for annihilation. Therefore, neither the German fleet nor the submarine force continued to attack the island army's transport fleet. Of course, this does not mean that Germany will give up such attacks. After this battle is over, the sea transportation lines of the island nation's navy and army will still become the key targets of the German fleet and submarine forces.

  The island army also didn't know that the German 225th Infantry Division and 228th Infantry Division were taking advantage of the cover of night to evacuate Port Siena and Lahad Datu.

  The reinforcements of the island country army arrived in Borneo without any risk. Several divisions began to land. During the period, there was no interference from the German army, which made the island army a little unbelievable.

  After dawn the next day, the island army launched an attack.

  When the island soldiers approached the German defense line carefully, they found that they were not attacked. This surprised them even more. When some soldiers bravely entered the German defense line, they found that the entire defense line was empty.

  So the soldiers of these island countries cheered.

  When the news was sent to Lieutenant General Sakurai, Lieutenant General Sakurai was also dumbfounded. In his view, the German army is fully capable of continuing to hold the line of defense. After all, the German army had withstood their attacks in the previous battles and made them pay a heavy price.

   "This, isn't this too sudden? How could the Germans retreat on their own initiative?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo seemed a little unbelievable in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we must have caused heavy casualties to the Germans in the previous battle. Therefore, they couldn't hold on anymore and had to retreat. We did not lose this battle. Although our losses A little bigger, but we have completed the scheduled battle plan and successfully gained a foothold in eastern Borneo. It can even be said that we have won the battle!" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong said happily.

   "We won?" Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai was stunned.

  Before they thought they had lost the battle, and even guessed whether they should bear the corresponding responsibility. However, the reversal of results in the blink of an eye feels unreal.

   "Yes, Commander, we have won!" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong said with great certainty.

   "Well, Yoshi! We have won. Immediately report to the Front Army Command that we have defeated the Germans, and now we have broken through their line of defense, and we are about to occupy Senna Port!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo ordered.

   "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong said excitedly.

  Almost at the same time, the 33rd Army of the Japanese Army also discovered that the German 228th Infantry Division had retreated. Lieutenant General Honda also believed that they defeated the German army.

  Thus, two good news were sent one after the other to the headquarters of the Lanyin Front Army of the Island Army in Zamboanga.

   Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo, the commander of the Lanyin Front Army, was a little puzzled when he saw such a telegram. If he didn't know that those guys dare not lie about military information, he would have thought it was a joke.

  Did not dare, he later found out what happened through his confidant. After knowing that the German army was retreating on its own initiative, Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo did not say this.

   Regardless of whether the German army retreated on its own initiative or not, they have gained a firm foothold in Borneo after all. Therefore, they should have won.

  This made the Lan-Indian Front Army Headquarters send a telegram to the Southern Army Headquarters in Manila, also claiming that they had defeated the Germans, had occupied Sinar Port and Lahad Datu, and had gained a firm foothold in Borneo.
