"Baga! What the **** is going on? What are those idiots in the navy doing?" On a transport ship, Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai, commander of the 28th Army of the Japanese Army, cursed.

Those transport ships and merchant ships were continuously sunk, and all the losses were their soldiers! Although they have known about this operation for a long time, they will definitely lose a lot. But the loss they expected was after they landed in East Borneo, not now! Before arriving at the destination, they were attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses. If this continues, how will this battle be fought?

"Sakurai-kun, it seems that we were attacked by a German submarine. We have so many transport ships and merchant ships this time, they have undoubtedly become the targets of the Germans." Honda Masai, the commander of the 33rd Army of the Japanese Army The lieutenant general smiled wryly.

"Those guys in the navy, why can't they stop the Germans?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōzo gritted his teeth.

Lieutenant General Benta was silent. He knew that with the power of the navy, even if he wanted to stop the Germans, he would probably be powerless. All they can do now is to pray that their losses will be smaller.

"Good job! We have sunk at least four transport ships or merchant ships of the islanders. It would be great if all the islanders who fell into the water could be drowned." Major Hansen smiled.

Of course he knew, it was almost impossible. After their attack is over, the surviving island country transport ships and merchant ships, as well as those warships, will start rescue. But what is certain is that the casualties of the islanders will not be too small.

"Sir, an island warship is approaching us!" The sonar soldier suddenly reported.

Major Benson's face suddenly changed: "Urgent dive!"

Although the attack power of the submarine is very powerful, it is also very fragile. Once hit by a surface battleship, it is almost certain death. At that time, the submarine will become an iron coffin to bury everyone.

The greatest threat to a submarine is its concealment. Once the advantage of concealment is gone, the submarine becomes vulnerable.

U-441 submarine started an emergency dive, and soon dived to a depth of 50 meters.

The destroyer "Gaobo" of the navy of the island country came to this sea area. However, they turned a few times on the sea, but found that there was no target.

"Have you found anything?" Major Ono Shiro, the captain of the destroyer "Gaoba", asked with a dark face.

"Sir, not found. They seem to have escaped." The sonar soldier reported.

"How could it be possible to escape so quickly? Launch a depth charge, and the German submarine must be blown out!" Major Ono Shiro ordered.

"Hi, sir."

Depth charges one after another were thrown into the sea, and soon there was a dull explosion.

Although it was not directly hit by the depth charges, the impact generated by the explosion of those bombs caused the U-441 submarine to shake continuously in the sea. All the submariners in the submarine were pale. They all knew that once the sub was hit, they were dead.

"Continue to dive!" Major Benson ordered.

The maximum dive depth of their submarines can reach one hundred meters. If you continue to dive, the strong water pressure may crush the submarine's shell. At that time, I am afraid they will all sink into the sea.

The U-441 submarine continued to dive, and after diving to a depth of 100 meters, the impact force was much smaller. The submariners, including Major Benson, breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sea is in chaos. A large number of island country transport ships and merchant ships were hit by torpedoes, some transport ships and merchant ships have sunk, and some are sinking. The island army soldiers who fell into the water are everywhere on the sea.

Under the frantic siege of the destroyers of the island navy, the submarines of the German Navy had to retreat. Fortunately, despite not being able to cause greater casualties to the island fleet. But all 10 submarines involved in the attack retreated safely.

When there were no more explosions, Major General Ryuzaki Rukichi and Colonel Onishi Shinzo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, the German submarines should have retreated!" A staff officer reported.

"Then how many German submarines have we sunk?" Major General Ryuzaki Rukichi asked.

This made the officer speechless for a moment.

Major General Ryuzaki Rukichi's complexion suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot. He knew that they might not be able to sink a German submarine this time. The submarine force of the German Navy caused great casualties to them. But they can only watch the German submarine retreat safely, which is undoubtedly a severe slap in the face!

"General, Lieutenant General Sakurai and Lieutenant General Honda are here." An officer reported.

Major General Ryuzaki Rukichi nodded, and led Da Nishi Shinzo to welcome him out. He knew that the two lieutenant generals had obviously come to question the crime. But he has no choice, although the two sides do not belong to each other. But who caused their **** to make such a big mistake, causing the army to suffer heavy losses?

Lieutenant Admiral Sakurai Shousan and Lieutenant Admiral Honda Masazai climbed onto the heavy cruiser 'Tone' with dark faces.

"Ryuzaki-kun, what did you do? Should you give us an explanation?" Lieutenant General Sakurai asked with a dark face.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I am very sorry for this. We were ambushed by the German submarine force. Although we tried our best to expel them. However, there were still a lot of casualties. Our strength is too weak, and we need There are too many transport ships and merchant ships being protected. That's why this happened." Major General Ryuzaki Rukichi explained.

Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōsan wanted to reprimand him a few more words, but he was dissuaded by Lieutenant General Honda.

In the next landing operations, they will have to rely on the fleet to provide them with fire support. If Major General Ryuzaki Ruyoshi is offended. Once the other party does not cooperate, the island country army may have to pay more casualties when it lands. Such consequences will undoubtedly be even more unbearable.

Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōsan undoubtedly wanted to understand this, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Ryuzaki-kun, this action is related to the fate of the empire. Therefore, we hope to get the full cooperation and assistance of the navy. If we fail, it will be a serious blow to the entire empire." Ben Tazheng Lieutenant General Cai said.

Major General Ryuzaki Ruyoshi nodded: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I understand this very well. The fleet will fully support the army's landing in the next operation. However, our strength is too weak. Even if we do our best, I am afraid It's also hard to do!"
