Jagged Germany

  While the German navy was engaged in a decisive battle with the island nation's navy in the Pacific Ocean, the German army's attack on the Indonesian archipelago was also in full swing.

   On the island of Sumatra, the German 11th Army captured Medan, and the 7th Front Army of the Island Army was completely annihilated under the siege of the German army. Commander Itagaki Seishiro and dozens of other generals all committed seppuku.

   Subsequently, the German 11th Army, 3rd Army and 13th Army advanced southeast along the Strait of Malacca. Fight against the 14th Front Army, the 2nd Army and the 18th Army of the Japanese Army.

  Although the 14th Front Army of the Japanese Army is strong, the 2nd Army and the 18th Army also have several divisions. However, under the attack of the main forces of the three German armies, the island army obviously couldn't hold on to Sumatra and was constantly defeated.

  On Java Island, the German 12th Army, 4th Army and 16th Army defeated the 4th Army and the 38th Army of the Island Army after solving the 5th Front Army of the Island Army. All the remaining troops of the island army on Java Island were compressed to the front line of Batavia.

  Although the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army still has a certain strength, it is almost impossible to resist the fierce attack of the three German armies.

  On the island of New Guinea, the 10th Front Army and the 31st Army of the Island Army also retreated steadily under the attacks of the German 22nd Army and 24th Army. Even after being dispersed, many island country soldiers hid in the dense virgin forest.

  At this time, the development of Nanyang was not high. There are large tracts of virgin forest everywhere. Especially in New Guinea, except for the coastal areas that have been developed, the interior is all virgin forests occupied by savages. There are poisonous insects, snakes and ants everywhere, and it is even more impossible to survive inside.

   It can be said that after the German army dispatched eight armies to attack under the full cover of the air force and navy, the southern army could no longer hold on. A large number of elite troops were routed and wiped out. The defense zone is also constantly falling. It can be said that the Southern Army has reached a very critical moment.

  However, even so, Terauchi Toshiichi still stayed in Batavia and did not leave here.

  Terauchi Toshiichi is still waiting for news from the Navy. If the United Fleet can defeat the German Navy, it will be able to regain the dominance of the South China Sea. At that time, even more reinforcements can be continuously dispatched from the country to reinforce Nanyang. In that case, the crisis of the Confederate Army would be resolved.

   It's just that General Toshiichi Terauchi may never wait for the victory report.

   On the afternoon of August 2, the Southern Army Command received a telegram from China.

   "Your Excellency, an urgent telegram has been sent from the country." Lieutenant General Tsukada Gong reported.

   "What news? Has the navy defeated the Germans?" Admiral Toshiichi Terauchi asked hastily.

   "Your Excellency, the navy has failed. The combined fleet was almost wiped out and did not cause any losses to the Germans." Lieutenant General Tsukada said.

   "What? How could this happen?" General Toshiichi Terauchi was completely stunned. He didn't seem to have imagined that it would end up like this. He was still waiting for the victory, but the result was the news of defeat.

   "Your Excellency, the navy has failed. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat the Germans." Lieutenant General Tsukada said.

   Indeed, the Combined Fleet suffered a disastrous defeat, and the Southern Army will fall into a lonely battle. At the same time, with the loss of sea control, the mainland of the island country could no longer provide support to the Southern Army. If the Southern Army wants to continue to persist in Nanyang, it is almost impossible.

  General Toshiichi Terauchi nodded: "Order the 18th Front Army, the 4th Army and the 38th Army to defend Batavia. Prepare the seaplane, leave here tonight and go to Manila!"

  In the case of the navy's disastrous defeat, Admiral Terauchi Toshiichi knew very well that the war situation in Nanyang would further deteriorate. It is almost impossible for them to resist the attack of the three elite German armies in Batavia. Therefore, General Toshiichi Terauchi decisively made up his mind to leave here.

   "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Tsukada immediately went to make arrangements.

  On the evening of August 2, General Hisashi Terauchi and others left Batavia by seaplane and headed for Manila.

  It seems that with the escape of General Kotobuki, the situation in Nanyang has completely collapsed.

  The 18th Front Army, 4th Army and 38th Army of the Island Army persisted in Batavia for five days. Under the heavy shelling and bombing of the German army, the entire city of Batavia was in ruins. But even so, the Japanese army is still fighting to the death.

In the end, under the exhaustion of ammunition and food, the remaining troops of the 18th Front Army, the 4th Army and the 38th Army of the Japanese Army, under the leadership of the generals, launched a suicide attack on the German army, which was defeated by the intensive firepower of the German army. up the sieve.

  After Java Island fell into the hands of the German army, the German army launched an attack on Borneo without stopping.

  At the same time, the battle of the German army on Sumatra Island also came to an end. The 14th Front Army, the 2nd Army and the 18th Army of the Island Army have almost been wiped out. The rest of the troops were just stubbornly resisting, and it was only a matter of time before they were all eliminated.

Under the cover of the navy, the 3rd Army and the 25th Army under the command of the German F Army Group crossed the South China Sea and landed on Luzon Island. The 34th Army launched an offensive.

  The Southern Army did not have many troops in the Philippine Islands, and the Philippine Front Army only had one infantry division and two independent mixed brigades. The 34th Army also has only two infantry divisions and an independent mixed brigade. The total number of these two troops is only more than 80,000 people. With such a small force, it is almost impossible to counter the two German armies.

  After the German 3rd Army landed, they marched all the way to Manila. The Philippine Front Army and the 34th Army of the Japanese Army couldn't resist it at all.

  On August 14, most of Manila fell into the hands of the German army. General Toshiichi Terauchi, the commander of the Southern Army of the Japanese Army, is not going to escape this time. Because he knew that the southern army suffered a disastrous defeat and was about to be wiped out. Even after he fled back to the mainland, he would still be questioned. Instead of that, it's better to kill yourself. In this case, it can be regarded as safeguarding his honor.

  So, on the afternoon of August 14th, General Toshiichi Terauchi committed seppuku at the Southern Army Headquarters. Subsequently, Lieutenant General Tsukada, the chief of staff, also performed seppuku.

  In the evening of that day, all of Manila fell.

  By August 20, the Lanyin Front Army and the 37th Army of the island country army that persisted in fighting in Borneo were all wiped out. The whole of Nanyang fell into the hands of the German army.
