Jagged Germany

  On April 24th, the island army launched a fierce attack on the German defense line in Brunei. However, after a day of fierce fighting, they still failed to break through the German defense line. Although the German army suffered a lot of casualties, the German army's defense line was still solid. At the same time, the loss of the island army was very large.

  Preliminary statistics show that during the daytime battles, the 14th Front Army and the 7th Front of the Japanese Army suffered more than 30,000 casualties and missing officers and soldiers. It can be said that this can be regarded as the death of two ordinary divisions. Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma and Lieutenant General Shizuo Tanaka felt very distressed at this rate of loss. According to this rate of loss, all the remaining troops of their two front armies can last for ten days at most.

   "Honma-kun, isn't our loss too great?" Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuo's expression turned ugly.

"Tanaka-kun, the loss is huge. The Germans have strong firepower and are very tenacious in combat. However, they should be desperate. And we have no other choice, we can only do our best." Lieutenant General Jian Yaqing said.

   Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuo nodded, just as Lieutenant General Masahiro Homma said, since the battle had already begun, they had no other choice but to grit their teeth and go all the way to the dark.

   "Tonight, dispatch more troops to launch a night attack! I don't believe that the Germans can still resist our attack!" Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma said fiercely. In the absence of other options, he could only launch a night attack.

   "Yes!" Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuo nodded, agreeing with Lieutenant General Masharu Homma's strategy.

  That night, the 14th Front Army and the 7th Front Army of the Island Army planned to invest 10 infantry regiments, and then accelerated the 12 infantry brigades of the independent mixed brigade, with a total of more than 50,000 people to attack. They hoped to break through the German defense line in one fell swoop and break into the city of Brunei.

  Once entering street fighting, the German army's strong firepower advantage will be greatly reduced. And the military advantage of the island country army will be even greater. At that time, the possibility of them defeating the German army will undoubtedly be even greater.

  In order to win, the island army has spent a lot of money.

   However, Lieutenant General Masahiro Homma and Lieutenant General Shizuo Tanaka did not know that the German army had already prepared for it.

"Chief of Staff, the islanders will definitely be desperate tonight. Therefore, we will be under great pressure. Whether we can hit the islanders hard in one fell swoop depends on tonight. Have we made all preparations?" Lieutenant General William Adam asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are ready! The 23rd Armored Division, the 221st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade have all started their return journey. It is expected that they will rush back tomorrow morning, and then report to the The islanders are attacking!" Major General Erwin Vero replied.

  The main force of the German army, which was retreating westward along the coastal road, will actually return overnight after the sun goes down. Although, traveling overnight will be very hard work. By now, these troops are already mechanized troops. Tanks, armored vehicles and trucks, a lot. Soldiers don't need to travel with their own legs, they only need to travel by car. When they retreated westward before, the speed was very slow. Therefore, one night is enough for them to rush back to Brunei.

   "After traveling all night, the soldiers will be very tired. I hope they can overcome this!" Lieutenant General William Adam said.

   "Your Excellency, please rest assured, there will be no problem!" Major General Erwin Vilo said.

   "Where's the navy? Have they arrived? Whether they can withstand the attack of the islanders tonight, the fire support of the navy is essential!" Lieutenant General William Adam said.

   Lieutenant General William Adam had expected that the island army would definitely launch a large-scale attack tonight. Therefore, the German army has long been prepared. After nightfall, the battleship formations of the German Navy will enter the offshore waters to provide fire support for the army. Relying on the fierce firepower of dozens of warships, coupled with the German Army's own artillery fire, is enough to deal an unimaginably heavy blow to the island army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, all warships of the navy have dispatched observers and have already entered the frontline positions. Once the army of the island country launches an attack, the warships will directly launch firepower strikes on the frontline through the guidance of these observers!" Erwin Vilo The major general reported.

"Very good, tell the front-line troops. If necessary, we can really give up the front-line positions. As long as we can persist until tomorrow morning, we will win!" Lieutenant General William Adam did not want his troops to lose in such a battle too big. He hopes to preserve his own strength as much as possible while causing as many casualties as possible to the island country army.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Erwin Willow nodded.

  The attack of the island country army started at 8 o'clock in the evening. They did not conceal their intentions. Lieutenant General Masahiro Homma and Lieutenant General Shizuki Tanaka knew very well that a large-scale attack involving tens of thousands of people would be impossible to keep secret. Therefore, the possibility of launching a night attack is almost zero. Under such circumstances, there is naturally no need to carefully launch a night attack.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  Although in the daytime battles, the artillery losses of the island army were great. However, they still participated in the battle at night. The island army hopes to cause greater losses to the German army through shelling, and at the same time to support its own infantry.

   With the support of artillery fire, tens of thousands of troops of the island country army launched a large-scale attack. They chanted slogans and attacked the German positions with overwhelming momentum.

   "Yoshi! The warriors of the empire are indeed the most heroic and skilled in combat. Even if the Germans are the number one in the world, they are absolutely incomparable to us in this respect!" Masahiro Homma said with dignity.

"Yes, Honma-san. After we conquer Southeast Asia and Australia and obtain abundant resources, our army can also get more good equipment. At that time, we can completely replace the Germans and become the world's number one army !” Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuki also had a smile on his face.

   It can be seen that both of them are very confident in tonight's battle, thinking that they can win in one fell swoop.

   It's just that what they didn't expect was that the crisis was coming soon.

  The frontline positions of the German army, the observers of the island navy, are reporting the direction of the bombardment to their warships.

  On the sea, warships are adjusting their muzzles one after another. The shells and propellant have been stuffed into the barrels, ready to fire at any time.
