Jagged Germany

Chapter 1348: Everything is ready (ask for a monthly ticket)

"Your Excellency, Commander, the forward of the islanders has already passed Danan, and it is only more than 30 kilometers away from our defense line. It is expected that they will launch an attack the day after tomorrow at the latest." Erwin, the chief of staff of the 23rd Army. Major General Willow reported.

?? Lieutenant General William Adam nodded: "How many people are there in the forward troops of the Islanders?"

"According to the information obtained so far, it is the 35th Army under the 14th Front Army of the Island Army, including four infantry divisions and an independent mixed brigade, with a total strength of nearly 80,000 troops! Behind the 35th Army is the 35th Army The 41st Army. In addition, the other main infantry divisions of the 14th Front Army are also behind, only a few days away. As for the 7th Front Army of the Island Army, it is at the end!" Major General Erwin Vilo said.

"Are there more than 80,000 people? There are still a lot of troops. Are the 227th Infantry Division and the 229th Infantry Division ready? Next, they will be needed to withstand the fierce attack of the islanders." Lieutenant General William Adam Said.

?? It is almost unnecessary to know that the next attack of the island army will be quite violent. After all, the 14th Front Army and the 7th Front Army of the Japanese Army have a total of more than 500,000 people, which is more than ten times that of the German 227th Infantry Division and 229th Infantry Division.

??Although the powerful German 23rd Armored Division, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division are still in Brunei. But the terrain of Crocker Hill is obviously not suitable for the play of armored forces. Therefore, in the next battle, they will not be able to help much. As for the 225th Infantry Division and the 228th Infantry Division, they have suffered considerable losses in previous battles and are now resting. Unless the battle situation is very unfavorable, otherwise, they will not be easily dispatched.

??The other three infantry divisions of the German 23rd Army, namely the 223rd Infantry Division, the 224th Infantry Division and the 230th Infantry Division, are located in western Borneo. There is still vast territory to defend here. If the island army launches a landing operation in these areas, it will be tantamount to attacking the weakness of the 23rd Army.

"Your Excellency, the 227th Infantry Division and the 229th Infantry Division are ready. We are in the valley of Crocker Mountain, and we are fully prepared. Once the Island Army launches an attack, they will definitely be able to meet them. The blood is broken, and the loss is heavy." Major General Erwin Vilo obviously has great confidence in this battle.

?? Lieutenant General William Adam nodded. He was also very confident about his troops.

?? "However, the islanders must pay special attention to their night attacks. Once they are unable to break through our defenses, they will definitely adopt this method." Lieutenant General William Adam said.

??In the previous battles, the island army has repeatedly used night raids to attack the German army. The Japanese army knows very well that the German army's firepower is very strong. If they attack during the day, they will pay extremely heavy losses in the face of the German army's powerful firepower. Only by attacking at night can this be effectively avoided. At the same time, they will give full play to their own strength in strength.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have already explained to the 227th Infantry Division and the 229th Infantry Division. They pulled up three barbed wire fences in front of the position. At the same time, they planted a large number of mines. The flares are also very well prepared. Once the island country If people really want to launch a night attack, we will definitely make them pay extremely heavy losses." Major General Erwin Vilo said.

?? Lieutenant General William Adam was relieved.

??In the plan of Lieutenant General William Adam, after the end of this battle, the German 23rd Army had to withdraw to the west of Borneo. Perhaps it will once again use that terrain to fight a big battle with the Japanese army. But if the loss of the troops is too great, this plan may be cancelled, and they will be withdrawn directly to the Malay Peninsula. Therefore, Lieutenant General William Adam hoped that they could make the island army pay a heavy price in this battle. In this way, the German army can last longer in the next battle.

?? After all, Nanyang is too far away from the mainland of Germany, but very close to the mainland of the island country. The islanders can receive reinforcements continuously. However, the German army will not be able to withdraw its hand to reinforce Nanyang until the main force of the German army has solved Bu Russia. Therefore, before that, they need to completely hurt the islanders, and let them pay the greater the loss, the better.

?? "What about the 18th Army of the Island Army?" Lieutenant General William Adam asked.

??The 18th Army of the Island Army bypassed the northeastern part of Borneo, and then advanced along the coastal road, which also attracted the attention of Lieutenant General William Adam. Although, the strength of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army is relatively small. However, it can still pose a great threat to them.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 226th Infantry Division has already established a position on the Beaufort line. The position extending from the seashore to Crocker Hill is only five kilometers away. With the strength of the 226th Infantry Division, it is enough to defend this section of the defense line." It's very tight." Major General Erwin Willow said.

"If the island army launches an attack, there is nothing to be afraid of. Our intensive firepower is enough to make them pay a heavy price. The only thing to worry about is that the island people use other methods. For example, if their capital ships attack the first The positions of the 226th Infantry Division opened fire. That would be enough to make the 226th Infantry Division pay an unbearable price." Lieutenant General William Adam reminded.

"General, we have already contacted the navy. The two 'Derfflinger-class' battleships of the Pacific Fleet and the three 'Blücher-class' battlecruisers of the Indian Ocean Fleet have all arrived in the waters near Lion City. Standby. Once the attack of the 18th Army of the Island Army begins, they will arrive in the waters north of Beaufort to guard against the attack of the Island Navy." Major General Erwin Vilo said.

?? "In addition, the Pacific Fleet will dispatch two aircraft carrier battle groups into the South China Sea to prevent the main force of the island nation's navy from entering the South China Sea!" Rear Admiral Erwin Vilo continued.

??Although the island navy suffered heavy losses in previous naval battles, the four aircraft carriers of their 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron are still intact. The lost carrier-based aircraft and pilots must have been replenished after more than a month. Once the capital ship formation of the island navy fails to help the island army win, their aircraft carrier team is very likely to fight. Therefore, we have to guard against this.

"With the support of the navy, it seems that there is no problem in resisting the attack of the islanders. Even with the support of the navy, we can launch a counterattack and defeat the 18th Front Army of the island army. Now we are ready for everything. Waiting for the islanders to come and die!" Lieutenant General William Adam laughed.
