Jagged Germany - Chapter 1760
In addition to the 14 armies of the German Army to reinforce Southeast Asia and Australia, the main force of the German Marine Corps also moved eastward. After all, whether it is a battle in Nanyang or an attack on the mainland of the island country, landing operations are essential.
In the Strait of Malacca, the sea surface has been occupied by landing craft of the German Marine Corps. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the German Marine Corps took the lead in launching a landing operation in this sea area. The warships of the German Navy continued to provide fire support for the Marine Corps. Especially those destroyers, even approaching the coast, fired wildly with artillery of various calibers.
For a while, the entire coast was burned into a sea of flames by German warships. The island army stationed on the coast suffered heavy losses under the powerful firepower of the German army.
Before the German marines washed up on the beach, the coast was already full of stumps and broken arms.
“Bastard, enter the position, the Germans are about to attack, we must resist their attack!” The officers of the Island Army drove the soldiers of the Island Army to the position like driving cattle.
People were constantly killed by shells falling from the sky, and the bodies were directly torn into pieces.
The Luftwaffe fighter planes also continued to attack the positions of the island country army. The fighter jets used aviation machine guns or machine guns to straf, and the dive bombers launched precision strikes on those firepower points that were not completely destroyed. The ground attack aircraft even dropped a large number of bombs. This caused a lot of losses to the island army on the ground.
I have to admit that the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army have a very complete will to fight, and even so, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army persisted. However, the troops suffered heavy losses, and it was undoubtedly very difficult to resist the German attack.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The island army also launched a counterattack, and their hidden artillery positions began to pour shells into the sea. Shells continued to fall into the sea, splashing jets of water that soared into the sky. Some landing craft of the German Marine Corps were also hit and were directly blown to pieces.
“Da da da!”
Some of the surviving machine gun fire points on the army positions of the island country were also firing frantically, and the bullets were strafing the sea. German marines were constantly being shot.
“Boom!”
A machine gun that was firing crazily was blown to pieces.
This was done by a dive bomber of the Luftwaffe. It is undoubtedly the responsibility of these dive bombers to destroy these firepower points that can cause great losses to the landing of the German Marine Corps.
“Shhhhhh!”
The armed helicopters of the German Navy also flew to the battlefield, pouring firepower on the positions of the island army. This kind of big killer that can hover on the battlefield and cover the positions of the island army with powerful firepower has caused heavy losses to the island army.
Amphibious assault ships on the sea, dock landing ships, and helicopters are constantly taking off. Whether it is an armed helicopter or a general-purpose helicopter, they have all participated in the attack on the army of the island country.
Under the fierce naval artillery strikes of the German Navy and the air strikes of the Air Force, the island army’s counterattack did not cause much trouble for the landing of the German Marine Corps.
Soon, a landing craft washed up on the beach.
Although, the German marines who rushed to the beach were exposed to the firepower of the island army and suffered a lot of losses. But at least he won’t be helpless. They sprawled on the beach and fought back with a variety of weapons.
As more and more landing craft rushed onto the beach, the German Marine Corps even launched an attack on the island army’s positions. And under the fire support of one’s own naval guns and air support, it once broke through the position of the island country army.
At the landing site chosen by the three Marine Divisions of the German Marine Corps, the battle was fierce. In order to hold the position, the island country army is almost desperate. No one ran away, and everyone fought to the death. But unfortunately, when the strength gap between the two sides is huge, no matter how tenacious the will to fight is, the final result cannot be changed. This is especially true when the German army’s fighting will is also very tenacious.
After paying a certain price, the German Marine Corps successfully landed on the northern coast of Sumatra and opened up several safe landing sites.
The 11th Army under the E Army Group of the German Army, the 3rd Army under the F Army, and the 13th Army began to land one after another. With the landing of these main army troops, the German army launched an attack on the coastal cities in the northern part of Sumatra. After taking these cities, you can quickly disembark the heavy equipment of the German Army with the help of the port. In this case, the next battle will undoubtedly be much easier to fight.
When the German army and the island army fought in Sumatra. The 4th, 5th and 6th Divisions of the German Marine Corps, General, landed on Java Island. However, although the German Navy and Air Force used powerful firepower to attack Batavia, they did not choose to land here. These three marine divisions landed in Cirebon, Pekalongan and Semarang respectively.
Although the island armies stationed in these areas are very tenacious, under the strong firepower of the German army, these island armies have already suffered heavy losses. They had no way to stop the landing of the German Marine Corps, they could only watch the German Marine Corps land and then break through their defense line.
Once the German Marine Corps successfully lands and establishes a safe landing field, the German Army will begin to land. Even if the heavy equipment cannot be sent ashore for a while, they can be supported by naval gun fire when fighting on the seashore. Therefore, the firepower will not have much impact on them.
Of course, after the successful landing, the German army began to attack the coastal cities in an attempt to quickly capture the port. Then use the port to disembark more troops and heavy equipment. Only in this way can we have a greater advantage in the next battle.
New Guinea Island, the 7th Division of the German Marine Corps chose to land in the south of Port Moresby. With the fierce naval gun support of the German Navy and the air support of the Air Force, the 7th Division of the German Marine Corps also landed very quickly. Subsequently, the 22nd Army and the 24th Army under the E Army Group of the German Army began to land here. Their task will be to destroy the 10th Front Army and the 31st Army of the Island Army entrenched here, and completely recapture the entire New Guinea Island from the Islanders.
