Jagged Germany

"Fire!" Following the order of Colonel Senribang of the 4th Field Artillery Wing, the 12 120mm howitzers and 36 75mm field guns of the 4th Field Artillery Wing, as well as the four subordinate infantry wing A total of 16 75mm mountain guns fired first.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   Shells roared and smashed towards the defense line of the German 226th Infantry Division.

   Several other field artillery regiments also started shelling immediately after.

  For a while, the guns rumbled, and the shells hit the German positions like raindrops.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Shells kept hitting the German defense line, falling like raindrops. Intensive explosions sounded on the German defense line, and the smoke and flames almost enveloped the defense line less than five kilometers long.

   Behind the German defense line, Major General Friedley, commander of the German 226th Infantry Division, is watching the battle with a telescope.

"Tsk tsk, more than two hundred cannons, right? The islanders are really willing to spend this time, and actually pulled out all the cannons. Aren't they afraid that we will seize this opportunity and wipe out all their artillery?" There was no worry on Major General Leadley's face. He is still very confident in his own defensive position.

"General, maybe the islanders don't know that the artillery of the 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division have been strengthened for us. That's why they dared to launch such unscrupulous bombardment. However, for us, this is undoubtedly It's a great opportunity!" Brigadier General Georg also had a smile on his face.

"Give orders to the artillery, let them seize this opportunity, and launch an attack! This time, we must kill all the artillery of the islanders. After killing their artillery, we will have less pressure in the next battle. Much more. Especially at night, strong artillery support can allow us to successfully resist the attacks of the islanders!" Major General Friedley said.

  The generals of the German army have already grasped the tactics of the Japanese army very clearly. Once they cannot win the battle during the day, they will inevitably choose to attack at night. Only in that way can the islanders give full play to their military advantages.

"Yes, General. However, it is best to send a telegram to the Air Force. Our artillery alone will hardly catch the islanders' artillery. Once they are in a disadvantageous situation, their artillery will definitely evade. If the bombers of the Air Force launch an attack, the effect will be different. Even if all the artillery of the islanders cannot be eliminated, I am afraid there will not be much left for them." Brigadier General Georg suggested.

  Major General Friedley nodded: "Then do this, send a telegram to the Air Force for support!"

   "Yes, General." Major General Georg immediately went to send a telegram.

  At the same time, the German artillery also launched a counterattack.

  The 150mm heavy howitzer and 105mm light howitzer, relying on the advantage in range, directly suppressed the artillery positions of the island army. As for the large number of 75mm field guns, they remain silent for the time being. Because of the range, these field guns are not enough to reach the artillery positions of the island army. When the island army launches an attack, their power will be better revealed.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   One by one, the shells flew out of the barrel, and the chemical energy was converted into kinetic energy, allowing these shells to quickly hit the island army's position.

   "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

  When the sharp and piercing whistle sounded overhead, the expressions of the artillerymen of the island army changed drastically.

   "Large-caliber heavy artillery! Eight Ga! This is the German heavy-caliber artillery!"

   "Boom! Boom!"

  The explosion sounded on the artillery position of the island country army, and the shock wave swept across the entire artillery position. The artillery of the island country army was continuously swept into the sky, just like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

  The cannons of each door were blown up and down during the explosion, and were even blown up directly. The barrels of some cannons have been twisted into a twisted state.

  The shells of the German army, as if they had eyes, kept hitting the artillery positions of the Japanese army. Artillery positions one after another were destroyed in the explosion. Not only the cannon suffered heavy losses, but even the artillery also lost a lot.

   "Baga! How could this be? How could a German infantry division have so many heavy artillery?" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro said through gritted teeth. Needless to say, the German artillery obviously has much more artillery than an infantry division has.

   "Your Excellency, the Germans have obviously deployed other artillery to strengthen the 226th Infantry Division. The German artillery we are facing is stronger than we imagined!" Major General Haruki Shiyama smiled wryly.

   "Let our artillery, the artillery that suppresses the Germans, not let them continue to attack like this unscrupulously." Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida ordered.

  If they continue to be attacked by the German artillery in this way, I am afraid that it will not be long before their artillery and artillery will be completely lost. In that case, this battle will be even more difficult to fight.

  However, Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro soon got a reply that the German artillery positions were far beyond the range of their artillery, and they were simply out of reach. If they want to pose a threat to the German artillery positions, their artillery has to continue to move forward. But in that case, the German army will definitely have more artillery to join in to attack them.

  Such a result made Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro very angry. However, he has no other way.

  At this time, the fighter planes of the Luftwaffe rushed to the battlefield. Thirty-six dive bombers and thirty-six ground attack aircraft, under the cover of 48 BF-109 fighter jets, launched an attack on the artillery positions of the Japanese Army.

   "Woo!"

  Accompanied by a sharp and piercing whistling sound, the dive bomber accurately dropped heavy aerial bombs on the artillery positions of the island army.

  These aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms are extremely powerful. A bomb explosion can often severely damage an artillery position, destroy multiple artillery pieces of the Japanese Army, and kill countless artillerymen.

  The ground attack aircraft continuously used machine guns and light aerial bombs to attack the artillery positions of the island army, destroying each artillery position one by one.

  After the German Air Force joined in, the artillery losses of the island army began to rise sharply. A large number of guns were destroyed and artillerymen were killed.

   "Retreat! The artillery is immediately concealed!" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro immediately issued an order. He knew that if he didn't order the artillery to retreat, he might really be wiped out by the German army.
