Time passed by every minute and every second, and the fierce attack of the island army continued. The brutal fight was still going on on the beach.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo was still worried. The transport ship he was on was not too far from the coast, and he could clearly hear the sound of gunfire from the beach.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 2nd Division and the 54th Division are still launching a fierce attack on the German defense line. However, the German defense line has been broken by us several times. Although they were finally driven back by them, we It has already caused very heavy casualties to the Germans. It is expected that they will be able to break through the German defenses soon!" Major General Yanpan Haoxiong reported.
"Well, that's good! Tell Yoshimoto-kun and Akiyama-kun. Tonight, we must break through the German defense line. Before dawn, we must take Senna Port!" Lieutenant General Sakurai said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Yanpan Haoxiong replied.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Sakurai Shōsan didn't know that the German fleet was approaching them. A bad luck is about to come to them.
The German fleet with the battlecruiser "Lützow" as its flagship is heading towards the battlefield at high speed. The sea search radar on the top of the battleship is running, detecting all the surrounding sea areas within a range of 40 kilometers.
"General, there are a lot of island country ships nearby. Most of them are transport ships or merchant ships." The officer in charge of the radar reported.
"Find out the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the islanders first, and get rid of them, and then deal with those transport ships and merchant ships." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
"Yes, General." The officer nodded.
The heavy cruiser 'Ligan' is also a heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, which is much larger than those transport ships and merchant ships. Therefore, it is easy to find it with the sea search radar. After all, the larger the hull, the more radar waves are reflected.
"General, the islanders' heavy cruiser is twenty-five kilometers north of us!" The officer reported.
"Very good, directly attack the heavy cruiser of the islanders. At that time, our battlecruisers, heavy cruisers and light cruisers will concentrate their firepower to attack each other. Try to sink it in the shortest possible time. Destroyers pay attention to protecting the capital ship and cruiser There are several destroyers in the islanders' fleet. I don't want our warships to be struck by the islanders' lightning." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
The heavy torpedoes of the destroyers of the island navy are also very powerful, enough to sink the capital ship of the German Navy.
Soon, the German fleet approached only 15 kilometers away from the heavy cruiser "Lingen". Under the cover of night, the heavy cruiser 'Ligen' did not know that it had been targeted by the German fleet. So, the crisis appeared so suddenly.
"Fire!"
The captain of the battlecruiser 'Luzov' gave the order to fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three triple-mounted 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber roared loudly. Heavy shells weighing nearly one ton roared and smashed towards the heavy cruiser 'Ligan'.
The two heavy cruisers of the German fleet followed closely behind. These heavy cruisers are equipped with three triple-mounted 210mm main guns with a caliber of 50 times. Although it is not as powerful as the main gun of the capital ship, it is still very powerful.
The three triple-mounted 150mm main guns equipped on the four light cruisers also fired.
For a while, dense shells hit the heavy cruiser 'Ligan'. The shells fell into the sea, splashing water jets into the sky.
"Baga! What's going on?" The captain of the heavy cruiser 'Tone', Colonel Nishi Shinzang, changed his face drastically. It can be seen from the soaring water jets splashing around one's own battleship that this is definitely a large-caliber naval gun attacking them.
"Sir, the German fleet is coming, and we are being heavily bombarded by them!" An officer reported.
"Counterattack, counterattack immediately!" Commander Onishi Shinzo ordered.
Although he knew that in front of the German fleet, their counterattack was like hitting a stone with a pebble. However, he has no other way, he can't just do nothing.
At the same time, Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai, commander of the 28th Army of the Japanese Army, and other generals were also shocked by the violent explosion. They all realized what had happened, and their faces were all pale.
"Baga! Why did the German fleet appear here?" Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo turned pale. He knew very well that the fleet dispatched by the navy of the island country was not strong. This also means that they cannot be the opponents of the German fleet at all. There is probably only one final result, and that is to be defeated by the German fleet. It is conceivable what the outcome of the remaining transport ships and merchant ships will be under the attack of the German fleet.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now? We still have a lot of troops and equipment on transport ships and merchant ships." Major General Yanpan Haoxiong was very anxious.
The field artillery regiments and artillery brigades of each division are still on transport ships and merchant ships. In addition, a large amount of war supplies are still on board. If they are destroyed by the German fleet, their landing operation will be regarded as a failure. Even, the troops participating in the attack may be lost.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Immediately order those transport ships and merchant ships to evacuate. It counts as much as you can evacuate!" Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Yanpan Haoxiong immediately went to give the order.
On the beach, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi, head of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, and Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshidori, head of the 54th Division, also looked very unsightly. Seeing that their troops were about to break through the German defense line, but now the German fleet appeared, which undoubtedly added a lot of variables to this battle. Even, it is very likely that their attack will fall short.
"Baga! How could this be? Why don't the guys in the navy send more warships? In this case, wouldn't they be able to stop the German fleet?" Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi wanted to cry without tears. His 2nd Division had already suffered a lot in this battle. If you can win, that's all, you can get replenished soon and regain your combat effectiveness. But now, everything is up in the air.
On the position of the German 225th Division, there was a burst of cheers. The officers and soldiers of the German army obviously knew that their reinforcements were coming, and then they were safer.
