Jagged Germany

Chapter 1757: attack

??Batavia, the Southern Army Command of the Island Army, the office of General Hisashi Terauchi, the commander of the Southern Army.

??After the combat conference, the commanders of the various armies and armies under the Southern Army have hurried back to their respective defense areas, ready to face the German army. It stands to reason that the current Southern Army's morale is high, and it has not been frightened by the German army. The commander, General Shouichi in the temple, can naturally relax.

?? But in fact, can General Toshiichi Terauchi really feel at ease? This time, the German army gathered the main force in Nanyang and Australia, as if Mount Tai was overwhelmed. It can be said that he, the commander of the southern army, was under tremendous pressure. General Toshiichi Terauchi didn't even want to be the commander of the Southern Army if he could. But unfortunately, this is not his choice. After becoming the commander of the Southern Army, there were only two paths before him, either to lead the Southern Army to resist the German attack and realize the strategic vision of the island government. The other way is to fight **** to the end. When the Southern Army was wiped out, he committed seppuku. In addition, there is no third way to choose.

"Your Excellency, our troops are ready. Although the Germans are strong, we are not without a chance of winning. Besides, we are not trying to defeat the Germans, but to resist them Let the Germans pay as much casualties as possible during the attack." Lieutenant General Tsukada, Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, said.

??In the eyes of Lieutenant General Tsukada, it is almost impossible for the Southern Army to defeat the German Army. However, it is entirely possible to resist the German attack and cause the German army to suffer as much casualties as possible.

"Mr. Tsukata, the German's title of number one in the world was not made by blowing it up. It was earned through one battle after another. It is not so difficult to resist the attack of the German army!" Siuchi General Shouyi sighed. In front of Lieutenant General Tsukada, Toshiichi Terauchi did not pretend to be confident.

?? Lieutenant General Tsukada Gong nodded. He is very clear about the pressure on General Terauchi Toshiichi.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have already done what we can and strive to do our best. Next, whether we can achieve our strategic goals depends on whether Amaterasu will bless us." Tsukada The lieutenant general said.

?? "God Amaterasu will definitely bless his people!" said General Kotobuki in the temple.

??Although, praying for victory to the illusory gods is undoubtedly a sign of lack of confidence. However, now General Kotobuki in the temple seems to have no other choice but to pray to Amaterasu, whom they believe in.

?? "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Amaterasu will definitely bless us, and we will be able to withstand the German attack." Lieutenant General Tsukada also said.

?? Time passed bit by bit, and the German offensive preparations were gradually completed. A large number of elite German troops have entered the predetermined position. The German Navy and Luftwaffe are also ready to provide fire support to the troops.

??On the morning of July 23, the German Air Force dispatched a large number of fighter planes, which took off from airports in the Indochina Peninsula and Australia, respectively, to attack the defense lines of the island army in Sumatra, Java and New Guinea.

??At the same time, the German Navy also dispatched fighter planes to attack the island army's defense lines along the Strait of Malacca, southern Java Island, and southern New Guinea Island.

??However, the warships sent by the German Navy to provide fire support to the army are mainly the capital ship formations of the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the aircraft carrier formations of the two fleets and the Atlantic Fleet are active in the Coral Sea. If the main force of the island nation's navy dares to go south at this time, what awaits them is a fierce attack by the German navy. The combination of 16 aircraft carriers in the aircraft carrier formations of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet, and Indian Ocean Fleet is enough to send all the main forces of the island navy to the bottom of the sea.

??And, in addition to these three major fleets, the German Navy received the remaining warships of the U.S. Navy and the British Navy after the United Kingdom and the United States successively admitted their unconditional surrender. Although the navies of the two countries have been almost wiped out by the German navy, the performance of the three "Iowa-class" battleships of the U.S. Navy and the four "Hood-class" battlecruisers of the British Navy is still good. These seven capital ships formed the fire support fleet directly under the German Navy. Now, this fleet also temporarily belongs to the command of the Atlantic Fleet. The strength of the German Navy's capital ship formation in the Pacific has been further strengthened. After all, the 'Yamato-class' battleships of the Japanese Navy are undoubtedly very terrifying.

In the Pacific Ocean, the German Navy has now assembled 8 battleships from the Atlantic Fleet, 6 battleships from the Pacific Fleet, 7 battleships from the Indian Ocean Fleet, and 7 battleships from the Fire Support Fleet. There are already 28 battleships in total. A capital ship. Even with the addition of four cutting-edge "Yamato-class" battleships, the battleship formation of the Japanese Navy has only 8 ships in total. The German Navy has a 3.5 times advantage in capital ships. No matter how powerful the "Yamato-class" battleship is, it may still be very difficult to defeat such a large battleship formation of the German Navy in one fell swoop. Not to mention, the German Navy has a more powerful carrier-based aircraft force.

??The task of attacking the main warships of the island navy is often completed by the carrier-based aircraft units of the German Navy. As long as the conditions are unfavorable, such as the combat environment at night, the capital ship formation of the German Navy will be responsible.

??In addition, the capital ship formation of the German Navy will assume more of the role of fire cover for landing operations. Whether it is an attack on the southern army of the island country army entrenched in Nanyang. Whether to launch an attack on the mainland of the island country, it is a landing operation. The fire cover of the capital ship formation will be very important fire support for the German army in landing operations.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??In the Strait of Malacca, the capital ship formation of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet is being dispersed into multiple formations, launching fierce shelling on the positions of the island army.

?? Large-caliber naval gun shells hit the beach one after another, destroying the fortifications painstakingly built by the island army, leaving huge craters.

??In the north of Java Island and the south of New Guinea Island, the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet also dispersed into multiple formations, launching fierce shelling on the fortifications built by the island army on the coast. Use powerful artillery fire to destroy the fortifications of the island army.

??In the sky, fighter jets and bombers of the Luftwaffe are also attacking. The large-scale counter-offensive of the German army has officially kicked off.
