BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1325: navy kill
The battle was very fierce, and the German 225th Infantry Division had almost tried its best to resist the attack of the Japanese Army. However, the 2nd Division and the 54th Division of the Japanese Army also dispatched all the troops that could be dispatched. Both sides have tried their best to win this battle. This also made the war very tragic, with high casualties on both sides.
However, judging from the actual losses, the losses of the German army are still smaller than those of the island army. If the island country army wants to break through the German defense line, it must first rush through the interception of the hail of bullets. After that, it was hand-to-hand combat with the German army.
There is a thick layer of corpses piled up on the beach, most of which are the corpses of the island army. Those short but strong soldiers of the island country army have now become cold corpses.
"General, the islanders are crazy. We have caused them great casualties, but they are still attacking fiercely. The pressure on the front line is very high, and our defense line has been breached by them several times. It happened in many areas A fierce hand-to-hand battle. If this continues, we may be in a more difficult situation." Brigadier General Michael reminded.
Major General Eric Hansen nodded: "The island nation\'s military superiority is still too obvious. We will not get air support at night. At the same time, our firepower superiority is also limited, and such problems will inevitably arise!"
"General, why don\'t we retreat! We have caused a lot of casualties to the islanders so far. If we retreat now, your Excellency Commander will not object." Brigadier General Michael suggested.
If they continue to resist the attack of the island country army here, their losses will increase. At that time, once the losses are too large, the entire infantry division will lose its combat effectiveness. This is also not conducive to the next battle.
Major General Eric Hansen hesitated, although he knew that if he retreated now, he could save the main force of the 225th Infantry Division. However, he was a little unwilling. The island army\'s landing battle was only a day long. Are we going to retreat now? In that case, they would be too useless, right? If possible, Major General Eric Hansen hopes to persist for a while.
At this moment, a staff officer hurried over.
"General, a telegram from the headquarters." The staff officer handed the telegram to Major General Eric Hansen.
Major General Eric Hansen took a look at the telegram, and then laughed: "Haha, Chief of Staff, there is a turning point."
"What\'s the matter? General." Brigadier General Michael was a little confused.
"The navy has dispatched a fleet, which is coming to us. It is estimated that it will arrive in an hour. By then, it will be enough for those islanders to drink a pot. Order the troops on the front line to hold on for another hour Time. In an hour, reinforcements will appear!" Major General Eric Hansen said excitedly.
Originally, he had planned to accept Brigadier General Michael\'s suggestion and let the troops retreat. However, now that the navy has rushed to the battlefield, it seems that they don\'t have to retreat. The naval fleet will make the islanders pay a heavy price. Whether it is the island army that has already landed or those that have not yet disembarked, they will definitely suffer heavy losses under the attack of the German navy. The situation on the battlefield will also change accordingly.
"This is good news. I will inform the front line immediately and let them hold on for another hour." Brigadier General Michael also had a happy face.
Although under the attack of the island country army, the German army suffered a lot of losses. However, if you persist for another hour, there is still no problem at all.
After the frontline ministries learned that the reinforcements were coming, their morale, which had been somewhat low, was once again boosted. Even the attacking island army felt that the morale of the German army seemed to have improved a lot, so that the attack of the island army was repulsed again.
On the Sulu sea, a fleet is sailing. This fleet, drawn from the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet, included two "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers, four heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers and 16 destroyers.
After learning that the army of the island country had launched a landing operation in Borneo, the German Navy began preparing to send a fleet into the Sulu Sea. It\'s just that, in order to avoid being bombed by the island country\'s army aviation, the fleet dispatched is not large.
On the battlecruiser \'Lützow\', Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy, commander of the battleship formation of the German Navy\'s Pacific Fleet, and Major General Felix, chief of staff, are discussing the next operation.
In the last naval battle, the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet lost a lot. But compared to the results they achieved, that loss is nothing. This time, to reinforce the German Army, Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardir led the fleet without hesitation.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the islanders are divided into two places to land, one is in Siena Port and the other is in Lahad Datu. In this way, I will lead half of the fleet to Siena Port, and you will lead the other half of the fleet to Lahad Datu. Once, we will make the islanders who attack Borneo pay a greater price!" Lieutenant General Theodore Burchardi said.
"Okay, General." Major General Felix replied. In his opinion, this is also a very easy task. The size of the island nation\'s fleet is not large, there are no capital ships, only a small number of heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and a few destroyers. Compared with the fleet dispatched by the German Navy, it is completely incomparable. Even in night battles, the German fleet has an absolute advantage. After all, the capital ships and cruisers of the German Navy are equipped with radars. The artillery sighting radar has also become a standard configuration.
It is said that the German Navy will also install radars on newly built destroyers. In that case, the German Navy will be far ahead of other countries in terms of radar and other electronic equipment.
Major General Felix left the battlecruiser \'Lützow\' and went to the battlecruiser \'Hindenburg\'. Subsequently, the fleet was divided into two parts. Lieutenant Admiral Theodor Burchardy led a part of the warships and headed straight for the port of Xiana. Rear Admiral Felix led another part of the fleet and sailed towards Lahad Datu.
At the speed of the German fleet, it will take less than an hour to reach the scheduled sea area. At that time, they will raise their butcher knives high.
