Although the divisions of the two island nations were only a few hundred meters away from their goals, these hundreds of meters were a barrier that they could not break through.

It has only been more than four hours since the battle, but the casualties of the two C divisions are already very high.

In particular, the C Division, whose commanders were killed in the port, has only about half of the army size of less than 20,000 men, and the remaining soldiers either died in the way of the charge or in the bombardment of the Australasian air force.

At this time, the soldiers of the island nation realized that no matter how fanciful their commanders and the government said, they were still only fragile flesh and blood in the face of enemy guns and artillery fire.

If it is an elite A division, even if it loses more than half of its troops, it can still move forward bravely and attack without fear of death.

But the problem is that the army defending the city and the port is just an ordinary C regiment of the island nation. These units may still have a role to play when defending, but if they are attacking head-on, their role will be infinitely reduced.

Faced with nearly half of the casualties, the two C divisions finally began to enter chaos, and even some soldiers could not bear such a war and chose to flee in full view.

Although the gendarmerie quickly killed several soldiers who tried to escape, the entire division had less than 100 gendarmerie members, and it was difficult to control the situation in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers who were clearly disillusioned.

In particular, the C division in the port, after losing the division commander, no one can control the entire division.

The army's all-out attack from the beginning gradually turned into fear and rout, and a small number of troops slowly affected the entire division.

About half an hour later, the troops supported by the island nation finally arrived on the battlefield.

But it didn't help. The Australasian paratroopers not only took full control of Naha, but also built several defensive positions based on the terrain around Naha.

What's even worse is that the planes in the sky are still circling, and it is difficult to capture this defensive position in front of it if it only relies on the strength of an infantry wing.

But after all, it was the most elite division of the island country, and even though it knew that there was little hope of victory, this infantry wing still launched an attack brazenly.

However, the outcome was just as they expected, and they were simply unable to threaten the Australasian position.

Although they also carried some machine guns and artillery, they were able to pose a fire threat to the defensive positions formed by Australasia.

But the problem is that the biggest reason why Australasia was able to hold its position was not the artillery and machine guns in the defensive positions, but the large number of planes in the sky, constantly circling.

Once the island army poses a threat to the artillery and machine gun positions of Australasia, the fighters and bombers in the sky will constantly harass the island army, and even take the opportunity to take out the artillery positions of the island army.

As a result, although the island forces initially had an advantage in firepower, after being harassed by the Australasian air force several times, their advantage in firepower was also lost.

The telegram of the island country's army urgently asking for help also quickly reached the A division.

But the problem is that at this time, the A Division is also facing a rather grim situation.

Although there is a division A and a division B that are responsible for defending the coastline, there are two divisions with a total strength of more than 40,000 people.

But the problem is that the main island of the Ryukyu Islands is long and narrow, and the coastline is very long. In addition, there are many relatively large islands in the north, so the forces of these two divisions cannot be concentrated together.

In the case of a full-scale Australasian attack, the Division A, which had already divided nearly one-fifth of its troops, had to face an attack by tens of thousands of Australasian troops.

To make matters worse, the number of soldiers in the Australasian army was endless. After destroying a wave of soldiers who landed, there will be a steady stream of soldiers who will be replenished, as if endlessly.

Although thousands of soldiers who landed on the island have been eliminated in a short period of time, there are still a large number of transport ships waiting to land, each with at least a thousand soldiers.

"Yaga! That damn bunch of rice buckets can't even handle a few thousand Australasian soldiers. The division commander of the A Division, Muraino, looked angry, he was extremely disappointed in the performance of the two C Divisions: "The two rice buckets of the three dogs on the island and Akio Yamamoto should have committed suicide, they have failed the expectations of the Empire, they are the sinners of the Empire!" ”

It was clear that the two divisions did not gain an advantage in the attack against the Australasian army, and they did not even do it to hold back the Australasian army, which is why Murai was angry.

Judging by the current intelligence, the paratroopers parachuted in Australasia will definitely not exceed 10,000. Scattered to ports and cities, each side has about 5,000 paratroopers on each side.

The strength of any division is as high as 20,000 people, and even 5,000 Australasian paratroopers can't take it, which also makes Murai Nofu, who has always been proud of the combat effectiveness of the island army, angry.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, it's not too late to hold those two wastes accountable when the war is over, and what we have to do now is how to resist the attack of the Australasian army." Taro Tanaka, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the First Division, said.

The infantry wing that had been sent out before was transferred from the 1st Infantry Brigade. originally thought that this was a task that would be nine out of ten, and he would let himself pick up a lot of military merits in vain.

But unexpectedly, not only did the two C divisions not hold back the Australasian army, but even the infantry wing that went to support them was dragged by the Australasian army, and there was a risk of annihilation at any time.

You must know that even if he is the commander of the infantry brigade of the major general, there are only two infantry wings under his command. After the transfer of an infantry wing, it means that Major General Taro Tanaka now has only about 5,000 troops left in an infantry wing.

However, the defensive tasks of the 1st Infantry Brigade were relatively heavy. If the division does not have a good way, I am afraid that the 5,000-strong First Infantry Brigade alone will not be able to hold out for too long in the face of the continuous attacks of the Australasian people.

"I see, the Cavalry Wing will help the 1st Infantry Brigade defend the coastline. The artillery wing is temporarily helping you to defend, I want you to hold the coastline, can you do it? Murai Noo nodded, and naturally understood Taro Tanaka's appeal, and said.

"Hey! Please rest assured that the 1st Infantry Brigade will definitely complete your mission. Major General Taro Tanaka nodded firmly, and said to Noo Murai very excitedly.

Although the number of cavalry wings is far inferior to a full infantry wing, it is not a small help for the current 1st Infantry Brigade.

What's more, in the next period of time, the 1st Infantry Brigade will also be supported by the divisional artillery wing, which is the reason for Taro Tanaka's confidence.

With such a big killer weapon as the artillery wing, it can also be relied on in the face of the tide of attack of the Australasian army.

As Tanaka had predicted, with the support of the cavalry wing and the artillery wing, the 1st Infantry Brigade was able to face the Australasian attack.

While the Australasian air force and naval artillery still pose a great threat to the 1st Infantry Brigade, those Kalimantan and Filipino forces that attempt to land will still be repelled by the 1st Infantry Brigade.

However, it is clear that at this time, the greatest threat to the four island divisions on the Ryukyu Islands is not the Kalimantan and Philippine troops that are trying to land, but the Australasian paratroopers who have successfully penetrated behind enemy lines and completed the surprise mission.

What the islanders didn't expect was that the raids of the paratroopers in Australasia were not waves, but wave after wave.

At around 6 o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, the Australasian Air Force launched another large-scale air raid on the Ryukyu Islands.

Of course, this air force sortie is not only an air raid, but also an escort of the hundreds of Sop-34 transport planes to carry out another airborne mission.

On board the hundreds of transport planes were also more than 6,000 Australasian elite airborne troops.

Moreover, this time the Air Force also carried a certain number of artillery and machine guns, and the second wave of troops on airborne missions would have better firepower than the first wave.

Once these two waves of airborne troops converged, it was time for the Australasian army to launch a general offensive against the island's army.

Even if the island army can withstand the more than 100,000 Kalimantan and Filipino troops, they will not be able to do anything about the Australasian airborne troops that have occupied the city and port.

Although it was already daytime, the airborne landing was also smooth, because the first wave of airborne troops had already taken advantage.

With the protection of the Air Force, the Airborne Forces were not greatly threatened, and they joined the first wave of Airborne Forces very smoothly.

After the two armies converged, the size of the Australasian army in the port and city skyrocketed again.

At present, the airborne troops in the port area have exceeded 4,200 people, and they already have the strength to launch an attack on the island division.

On the Naha side, as the area mainly targeted by the two airborne troops, after two airborne landings, the Australasian airborne troops in the Naha area have exceeded the scale of 7,500 people.

With such a large number of troops, it is difficult to say who is superior and who is inferior when facing the people of the island country.

After the completion of the second airborne landing, it also marked the official launch of the final general offensive in Australasia.

On the coastline, more than 100,000 troops are still dragging the two most elite divisions of the island nation with their lives.

And inside the Ryukyu Islands, the two airborne formations have also officially changed from a defensive posture to an offensive posture.

Rumble! Boom!

Because the second wave of airborne troops brought a lot of artillery and machine guns, so that the Australasian army, which was about to run out of bullets, was once again full of supplies.

In the face of the opposing island army, Australasia's artillery will never be stingy. Dozens of artillery pieces continued to pour down towards the place where the island nation's army was located, like a super-large-scale rainstorm.

But unlike the rainstorm, the damage caused by the rainstorm is almost the same as nothing, but this kind of cannon rain can be described as a big killer for ordinary people.

In the dense artillery of Australasia, the division in the port finally could not hold on, and the entire division collapsed.

In the face of the routing island army, Australasia will not let go of such a good opportunity.

More than 4,000 airborne troops jumped out and, with the guidance and help of the planes, launched a pursuit of an entire island division.

Some of the island's soldiers fled to their original garrisons, where there were many defenses that would at least give them some peace of mind.

Some of the island's soldiers also fled to Naha. After all, it is the largest city in the Ryukyu Islands, and there is another island division.

But perhaps these island soldiers would never have dreamed that Naha not only had more island troops, but also more Australasian troops.

Because of this, seeing that many island soldiers fled to Naha's side, the Australasian soldiers in the port did not stop them.

If these soldiers are allowed to flee, they may even have an impact on the island's forces around Naha. After all, the division in the port has been defeated, which also means that the Australasian army here may go to Naha at any time to give a counter-encirclement to the island army stationed in the port.

Not to mention, the Australasian army really planned it this way.

Naha is to the south of the main island, and the port is to the north of Naha.

With the attention of Naha's army attracted, it is not impossible to bypass from the other side and carry out a counter-encirclement of the island army there.

Of course, even if the anti-encirclement plan is discovered by the island army, in terms of frontal attack, the Australasian army will not be afraid of the island army at all.

While the offensive at the port was a complete victory, the Australasian and island armies were in full swing on Naha's side.

Because of the help of an infantry wing of the A Division, the casualties faced by the C Division here were not as serious as those on the port side.

At present, the 20,000-strong Division C still has more than 12,000 combatable troops, and with the remaining infantry wing of the Division A of about 4,000 people, the island nation army has about 16,000 troops in the Naha area.

On the Australasian side, after two waves of airborne troops, only about 7,000 soldiers were gathered.

This was more than twice the numerical advantage, and although most of them were Division C with low combat effectiveness, they also entered a temporary stalemate under the containment of that infantry wing.

But it is clear that the stalemate was definitely short-lived.

On the side of the island country's army, as the casualties increase, the poorly disciplined C Division will eventually fall into chaos.

The infantry wings that came to support did not carry much ammunition supplies. It is even said that the logistics warehouse of the 16,000-strong island army, including the C Division, is in Naha City.

After the occupation of Naha by Australasia, it meant that the army of these island nations lost the largest armament depot in the Ryukyu Islands.

Although there are still small weapons warehouses elsewhere, in the face of such a large-scale operation, those weapons and ammunition stockpiles are not destined to last long.

What's worse is that because all the island's troops in the Ryukyu Islands have been held back by Australasia, it is impossible for the 16,000 troops around Naha to get any material supplies.

This also means that even if a temporary stalemate can be maintained, as long as the weapons and ammunition on the side of the island army are gradually depleted, it is Australasia that will still gain the advantage in the end.

After all, Australasia can be supplied with supplies by a large number of air forces and transport aircraft, which is completely impossible for the islanders.

Today, I will change it for the time being, ask for a monthly pass, ask for support!
