"Gentlemen, you have to admit that the Germans are very powerful! Even far more powerful than we imagined. However, as soldiers of the empire, our duty is to fight to the end for the empire. Now, it is time for us to serve the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor with all our loyalty. I have decided to lead the entire army to fight the Third Reich to the death in Faizabad! Fight to the last soldier!"Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo looked serious.

He knew very well that facing the powerful army of the Third Reich, they would definitely die this time, and there was almost no other possibility.

However, he was not frightened, but It inspired the courage in my heart and wanted to fight to the death.

"Hi, Commander!"All the generals answered one after another.

These Japanese people are often very easy to go crazy. In other words, they will go crazy when the blood comes to their heads, and they are not afraid of death. And now, this is undoubtedly the case.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our tank division hopes to take the initiative to launch an attack and engage in a duel with the German armored forces. The Germans have always boasted that their armored forces are invincible. We want them to know that our chariot troops from the Eastern Empire are no less inferior to them!" said Lieutenant General Hideo Yamaji, commander of the 3rd Tank Division.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. The combined tank divisions of our two countries have more than 600 tanks, which is enough to carry out a large-scale armored battle with the Germans. If we can defeat their armored forces head-on, then we can not only severely damage the Germans, but also greatly increase our morale. In the next battle, it will be easier to persevere." Lieutenant General Nagura Shiori, commander of the 4th Tank Division, said.

Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo nodded:"Very good, if we can severely damage the German armored forces, this will be a great victory."

The other generals also nodded.

In this war, the fighting power of the Third Reich's army was so strong that the Eastern Empire Army was defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses. If this continues, The morale of the entire Confederate army will be devastatingly affected.

It would be best if a victory could be achieved to reverse the situation.

"However, your Excellencies, two division commanders, we have to pay attention to the German air force. They now had complete control of the air. Once their air force is dispatched to bomb our tank troops, it will inevitably cause great losses to the tank troops."Major General Naka Naga Taro, Chief of Staff of the Tianzhu Front, said.

Lieutenant General Yamaji Hideo and Lieutenant General Nagura Shiori couldn't help but frown.

If their tank troops were attacked before the decisive battle with the armored forces of the Third Reich, If the Third Reich Air Force airstrikes, then the losses will inevitably be very large.

By then, it will be even more difficult for them to win.

"Is there any way to avoid this situation? Lieutenant General Yamaji Hideo asked.

"Perhaps we could attack in the evening. In this case, the German air force would not be able to dispatch."Major General Jiro Itada, deputy chief of staff of the Tianzhu Front, suggested.

Lieutenant General Yamaji Hideo and Lieutenant General Nagura Shiori suddenly brightened up.

"This is a good idea, we can attack in the evening. Maybe we can even catch the Germans off guard! Lieutenant General Yamaji Hideo said excitedly

"yes! This way our chances of winning will be even greater!"Lieutenant General Nagura Shiori was also smiling.

The other Japanese generals were all smiling and thought this was a good idea.

They all knew that if they insisted on defending Faizabad, they would most likely have to fight for it. His Majesty the Emperor is loyal. But if the tank division can defeat the armored forces of the Third Reich and thus overwhelm the morale of the Third Reich Army, then they may be able to successfully hold on in Faizabad. The Commander of the Southern Army Ministry, they will definitely send more troops to reinforce them.

"Our greatest enemies are the Germans. Fortunately, the German army was not large. The Germans who attacked us numbered less than 400,000. As long as these Germans are defeated, even if the Tianzhu natives have a huge force of up to 3 million people, they cannot be our opponents. When the time comes, we can kill them easily! Lieutenant General Shozo Kawabe said

"Hi, Commander!"The generals answered one after another.

Indeed, only the Army of the Third Reich can pose a threat to the Japanese. Although the natives of Tianzhu have a large number of people and a huge force, their combat effectiveness is too bad. Apart from being able to fight with the wind, they have no ability at all. There was no other ability. Once the Third Reich Army was defeated, the Indian natives were slaughtered by the Japanese.

After confirming the use of tank troops to counterattack, the Japanese immediately took action. The two tank divisions also They were secretly mobilized and waited in the dense forest outside Faizabad. At five o'clock in the afternoon on April 19, 1944, the main forces of the Third Reich Army and the Tianzhu Aboriginal Army had arrived at Faizabad and were about to launch an attack on Faizabad. Germany's attack.

At this time, the 3rd and 4th Japanese Tank Divisions suddenly launched an attack from their hiding places. And the place they attacked was not the Third Reich Army, but the Tianzhu indigenous army.

When a torrent of steel composed of hundreds of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles rushed out of the dense forest and attacked the Tianzhu natives with great force, they were frightened to the point of peeing.

"Lord Shiva! So many tanks!"

"Damn it, we were attacked by Japanese armor! We need support!"

"What about anti-tank guns? Bring up our anti-tank guns quickly!"

The generals and officers of the Tianzhu natives were frightened and shouted one after another. But unfortunately, the equipment of the Tianzhu native army was very poor. It lacked heavy weapons, especially anti-tank weapons, and had almost no equipment. So much so that they had no way to resist, let alone counterattack, the attack of the Japanese armored forces.

As for the native Tianzhu soldiers, they were already frightened, and they all ignored the commander's scoldings. and orders, they all threw away their weapons and fled.

These Tianzhu people, who originally had a weak will to fight, encountered a sudden attack by the Japanese armored forces. It is completely understandable that they would have such a reaction.
