"Your Excellency, Commander, all divisions have suffered heavy losses. The German naval guns are too powerful, and our troops can't resist them at all!" Major General Shuwu Jinger looked terrified.
Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura also looked very ugly. He knew that they had already lost this time, and the loss was very ugly. Several complete divisions suffered extremely heavy losses under the heavy shelling of the German fleet. This made them afraid that they would not have the strength to fight any longer. What's more terrible is that the behavior of the German fleet clearly means that the German counterattack has officially begun.
"Order the troops to evacuate as far east as possible! Wait until they are out of the range of the German fleet's firepower and then regroup the army." Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered. The most important thing now is undoubtedly to prepare the troops. Only by withdrawing as many troops as possible can the combat power of the troops be preserved.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. However, this may be very difficult. The German fleet has been chasing us. We can't escape at all." Major General Shuwu Jinger said with a look of despair.
Although the speed of the naval warship does not seem to be fast, at least it is much faster than the island army that almost marches on two legs. Dozens of warships sailed slowly eastward along the coastline, constantly bombarding the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army with naval guns, causing them as many casualties as possible.
"Baga! Damn the islanders, they are really despicable and shameless. They don't have the guts to fight us head-on, they only know how to use such despicable means." On the contrary, Lieutenant General Shojiro cursed.
But he seems to have forgotten that they also requested naval fire support. It's just that the navy of the island country was defeated, so it was unable to provide them with fire support.
"Your Excellency, something is wrong. The Germans dispatched a large number of armored troops to launch an attack!" An officer reported in horror.
Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura felt his head spinning and almost fell to the ground. There is no doubt that the German counterattack has begun. The steel torrent of hundreds of tanks was enough to tear them all to shreds.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you must resist the German attack. Otherwise, we will be finished." On the contrary, Shojiro said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The heavy bombardment of the German fleet looks scary. But not many people died under their bombardment. As long as we can regain our momentum, we can gather a lot of people." But if we are attacked by the German armored forces, then we will be completely finished." Moriya Jing Ershao also said.
"General Watanabe, lead your troops, build a defense line, and resist the German attack!" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura immediately issued an order.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Lieutenant General Tosaka replied.
Although he knows that if he stays to stop the German armored forces, there may only be one result, that is, all his 15th Division will be lost. However, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura's order had already been issued, and he obviously could not disobey the order.
It's just that the 15th Division is also in retreat now, and the troops are almost dispersed. It is almost impossible to organize a powerful force to stop the German armored forces.
In addition, many officers and soldiers have died under the fierce German shelling. Therefore, even if Lieutenant General Tosa used all his breastfeeding strength, he was not able to organize many troops.
"Crunch, crunch!"
When a torrent of steel consisting of hundreds of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles appeared on the battlefield, many officers and soldiers on the Daoguo Road were about to be scared to pee. Some people who were not determined even planned to turn around and run away.
"Prepare the anti-tank artillery, if we don't resist the German armored forces, we will all have a dead end!" The junior officers shouted loudly, hoping to help the officers and soldiers of the island country army in this way.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Some anti-tank guns fired, but they couldn't penetrate the armor of the German Tiger and Leopard tanks at all. Instead, they were destroyed by the German tanks with tank guns.
When the German tanks rushed to the position of the island army, a large-scale massacre began.
Tanks used artillery, machine guns and even tracks to slaughter those island soldiers. Even the brave soldiers of the island nation broke out with a strong will to fight under such a desperate situation. They rushed to the German tanks with explosive packs or cluster grenades, trying to blow up the German tanks in this way.
However, it is often difficult to succeed. Before rushing to the front of the tank, it was already beaten into a hive by the machine gun on the tank and the infantry accompanying the tank.
When a large number of tanks broke through the defense line of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, the division inevitably collapsed. Whether it was the bombardment of the naval artillery of the island countries or the impact of the German armored forces, they had a great impact on the armies of these island countries. Even though they were deeply poisoned by the Bushido spirit, they couldn't bear it.
The 23rd Armored Division, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Island Army advanced eastward along the coastline, catching up with many officers and soldiers of the island nation who had no time to escape, surrounded them and wiped them out.
At the same time, the German fleet also sailed eastward along the coastline, launching fierce shelling along the way.
Under such a blow, the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army suffered extremely heavy losses. A large number of officers and soldiers were either killed by the bombardment of the German fleet, or they were surrounded and wiped out by the German armored forces.
The 18th Front Army of the entire island country army is completely powerless to resist. The only way to wait for them is to be wiped out by the German army.
Originally, the escape route of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army was to escape eastward along the coastal road. However, under the pursuit of the German fleet and armored forces, they soon discovered that this route could not escape at all.
As a last resort, many island soldiers began to attempt to cross Crocker Mountain in order to escape the pursuit of the German army. After all, no matter how powerful the German armored forces are, there is no way to cross mountains and mountains.
It's just that the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the dense forest will also kill the officers and soldiers of these island countries.
The pursuit of the German army lasted for three full days, until the 18th Front Army of the Island Army on the coastal road was completely wiped out. Although a lot of island armies fled into the dense forest. However, this is undoubtedly asking for a dead end. The island army that actually crossed Crocker Mountain and successfully escaped through the dense forest was only two or three thousand people. The rest were wiped out.
