On the Crocker Hill defense line, Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma and Lieutenant General Shizuichi Tanaka stood side by side. This line of defense that once blocked them like a moat was already under their feet. On the battlefield, scattered supplies can be seen everywhere. Obviously, the German army was in a hurry when they evacuated. All of this undoubtedly shows that the German army seems to be unable to hold on in this war.
The soldiers of the Island Army in khaki military uniforms are lined up neatly, with their chests outstretched and bow-legged, crossing Crocker Hill. They also seem to forget that countless of their comrades lost their lives on this line.
"Tanaka-kun. According to the information we have received, the main force of the German 23rd Army has already withdrawn from Brunei. There are only a few German infantry divisions around Brunei. And, these few The infantry divisions are all units that have suffered considerable losses in previous battles. According to estimates, the total strength may only be 60,000 to 70,000. If we want to defeat them, it will be a piece of cake." Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma looked very confident confidence. It's like this battle, they will definitely win.
Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuo nodded. The reason why he agreed to Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma's proposal to launch an attack on Brunei was because he didn't want to let go of this opportunity. Their troops have already suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle to storm the defense line of Crocker Mountain. If they can grab the tail of the German 23rd Army and win a battle in the final battle, it will be very beneficial for them to gain military exploits. It even matters what supplement they get next.
"However, Mr. Honma, I'm afraid we still need to be more careful. This may be a trap for the Germans." Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuki said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tanaka, I have already obtained information from the intelligence agencies. The Germans are planning to retreat across the board this time. Their losses in the previous battles must have been considerable. Although they also caused us great damage Loss. However, overall, we still have an advantage in Borneo. As our reinforcements continue to arrive, our advantage will become greater and greater, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Germans in the end. Therefore, the Germans will withdraw from Borneo Under such circumstances, they should not set a trap for us. I always think that this is a very rare opportunity for us. If we miss this opportunity, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!" Honma Lieutenant General Yaqing said.
Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuo was still persuaded by Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma. In other words, it was affected by the greed in my heart.
The battle of the island army in Borneo did not go well. This naturally made them a little bit embarrassed when it came to fighting for supplements. Under such circumstances, if they can seize the opportunity to win a victory, then everything will be different. It is not out of the question that they would be heroes in defeating the German army, receiving numerous honors and exploits, and even a promotion.
"Mr. Honma, then this time we must do our best! Although there are tens of thousands of Germans left in Brunei, they are not so easy to be wiped out by us." Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuki said.
Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma nodded: "Of course I am aware of this. The Germans are never easy to deal with. This has been proved from countless previous battles. Therefore, in order to eliminate the Germans, We have to do our best!"
The remaining troops of the 14th Front of the Island Army and the remaining troops of the 7th Front of the German Army are obviously all ready to be dispatched. Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma and Lieutenant General Shizuo Tanaka will never let go of this rare opportunity.
Brunei City, the headquarters of the German 23rd Army.
Although the 23rd Armored Division, 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade, 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division have withdrawn from Brunei. However, Lieutenant General William Adam and Major General Erwin Velo, as well as the headquarters of the Army Group, remained in Brunei.
This time, the appearance of evacuating Borneo was originally intended to attract the army of the island country to be fooled. Although the 23rd Army will really withdraw from Borneo soon, it is definitely not now. Lieutenant General William Adam also wanted to teach the islanders a lesson before evacuating Borneo, and further damage the strength of the island army.
"Your Excellency, the island country army has crossed Crocker Mountain. Their vanguard is even approaching Lavas." Major General Erwin Willow reported.
"Where are our troops? Are they all ready?" William? Adam asked.
"Your Excellency, the infantry divisions have all retreated to the periphery of Brunei City. We have also built a defense line and are waiting for the islanders to launch an attack. If the islanders launch an attack, we can definitely let them in our defense line It’s going to be bloody!” Major General Erwin Willow said confidently.
The German army's powerful firepower is particularly powerful in defensive operations. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to use powerful firepower to cause greater casualties to the Japanese army.
"Let the 23rd Armored Division, the 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division be ready. Once the island army launches a fierce attack on Brunei City, when the time is right, they will have to launch a counterattack. Can this time be eliminated in one fell swoop It's up to them to lose the main force of the 14th Front Army and the 7th Front Army of the Japanese Army!" Lieutenant General William Adam said.
Infantry can display their strength to the fullest in defensive operations. However, when it comes to large-scale counterattacks, that is the strength of the armored forces. If infantry is used to launch a counterattack, even if the troops can win, their own casualties will not be so small. Armored units can easily win with their powerful assault capabilities.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Major General Erwin Willow nodded.
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the advance speed of the island country road, an attack on Brunei City will be launched in the morning of the next day at the latest. This will become a battlefield and it will be very dangerous. So, can you evacuate Brunei City and retreat to a safe place? Go?" Major General Erwin Willow suggested.
Although their headquarters can be moved underground, there is no absolute safety on the battlefield. If anything happens to Lieutenant General William Adam, it will be troublesome.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. At a time like this, I should be with my soldiers. I can't let them bleed and die, but I ran away." Lieutenant General William Adam shook his head and rejected the proposal .
