"Order all troops to defend themselves. Deploy anti-tank weapons and prepare to resist the German attack!" Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple ordered.

"The hundreds of German tanks and armored vehicles are probably not so easy to resist!" Lieutenant General Honta Masato frowned.

"Honta, in this case, we can only hope to withstand the attack of the Germans. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. As for retreat, it is even more impossible. Once retreating, we will be followed by the Germans. In the end, it will inevitably turn into a defeat." Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple 3 said.

Lieutenant General Honta Masato nodded. He also knew that once the troops were defeated, the consequences would be even more unimaginable. At that time, all their troops would be easily divided and surrounded by the Germans and then destroyed.

"Kun Sakurai, I'll go back there and take charge. No matter what, I have to find a way to hold on!" said Lieutenant General Honta Masato.

"Okay, Honda-kun. I hope that God Amaterasu can bless us." Sakurai Secretariat sighed.

Lieutenant General Honda Masato turned around and left without saying much. The situation is urgent now, and he must gather his troops as soon as possible, hoping to resist the German attack in the next battle.

The troops commanded by Lieutenant General Honda Masato, including the remnants of the 18th Division and the 56th Division under the 33rd Army, as well as the 49th Division, the 53rd Division and the independent mixed 105th Brigade. However, in the battle against Kinaba Tangan, the 49th Division and the 53rd Division suffered a significant loss. This made him have no confidence in resisting the German attack.

Similarly, Sakurai Sekiri was also gathering his troops. The 31st Division was obviously in danger of being attacked by the German army. Therefore, the troops he could count on were the remnants of the 28th Army's 20th Army and the 54th Division, as well as the 55th Division and the 33rd Division who arrived at the battlefield later. Moreover, the 33rd Division also suffered a significant loss in the battle to attack Kinaba Tangan. Sakurai Sekiri Sekiri did not know whether they could withstand the attack of the German armored forces.

The demise of the 31st Division of the Island Country Army was faster than expected by Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple and Lieutenant General Honta Tachicai. Although the 31st Division suffered a considerable loss in the previous battles, there were still tens of thousands of people. They thought that the 31st Division could hold on for at least three or four hours, so that they could have enough time to prepare.

But in fact, in less than two hours, the main force of the 31st Division was destroyed by the German armored forces. Lieutenant General Sato Yukitoki committed suicide by separatism. Only a small number of troops successfully escaped.

After the 31st Division of the Island Army was eliminated, the German troops were divided into two groups. The 23rd Armored Division was divided into two parts, leading the 221st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division to attack the enemies located in the north and south of the Kinabatangan.

Although these armored forces are divided into two parts, they still have extremely strong assault capabilities. At least, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the island army, which lacks armored weapons and anti-armored weapons, to resist the attack of the German armored forces.

The battle soon began, with more than 200 tanks leading a large number of armored vehicles to attack the positions of the 33rd Division of the Island Army. Although Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple had ordered the remnants of the 2nd Division and the 54th Division to be put into the battle and strengthened the strength of the positions. However, in the face of the German armored offensive, the Island Army fought back desperately, but the effect was very small.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

The island army's anti-tank guns opened fire. Under the control of the soldiers, these 37mm anti-tank guns accurately hit the moving tanks.

However, the next result stunned them. Because the tank that was hit, they only paused for a moment and then continued to move forward.

"Baga! How could this happen? Can't our anti-tank guns penetrate German tanks?" An island army officer looked shocked.

The other officers and soldiers immediately didn't know what to do. Some people were even scared and their legs became weak. Even anti-tank guns could not deal with German tanks, so there was no way to continue this battle.

You should know that in order to prevent the anti-tank firepower of the island army, the German armored forces deliberately put the thick-skinned "Tiger" tank in front when attacking. At long distances, small-caliber anti-tank guns could not penetrate the thick armor of the "Tiger" tank at all. Unless they were very close, they could be penetrated.

The island army's anti-tank guns fired, not only did not achieve any results, but instead exposed themselves, which immediately attracted a burst of bombardment of German tanks.

The shells fell from the sky, covering the anti-tank firepower points of the island army. One of these anti-tank firepower points was removed by the German tanks.

Without the threat of these anti-tank firepower points, the German armored troops would naturally advance faster.

"Da da da da!"

When the German tanks broke through the defense line of the island army and the machine guns began to roar, the massacre had already begun.

The German armored troops rushed into the island country's army defense line and rushed around, using tank guns, machine guns and even tracks to slaughter the island people.

Countless island soldiers didn't know what to do when facing such a combat method? After watching their comrades fall down one after another, they finally couldn't bear it.

So someone threw away his weapon and turned around and ran away.

The power of role models is infinite. When one person escapes, others will immediately follow suit.

This quickly caused the island army to flee. A large number of island soldiers turned around and fled regardless of the superior's scolding. They were already scared by the German armored forces and no longer had the courage to continue fighting.

When Sakurai Secretariat learned that the front-line troops were fleeing, his whole body was like a thunderbolt. He originally thought that the front-line troops could last for a while, but he did not expect that their performance would be so vulnerable.

In the absence of any help, Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple had to order a retreat. The 55th Division of the Island Army, which had almost no losses, also immediately began to retreat. However, how could they escape under the pursuit of the German armored troops? When they were chased, the retreat immediately turned into a defeat.
