As the guns turned to the top of the gun spewed out flames in turn, the bullets began to sweep across the Australian soldiers on the road.The Australian army's attention was on the front, but they did not guard against blows from the side.The side target of the cavalry is much larger than the front, and the troops have stopped in order to form a formation.As a result, the Australian cavalry became a fixed target. Under the fire of machine guns, the lives of soldiers were quickly harvested.
The frightened horses jumped around, disrupting the surviving Australian cavalry. Their horses couldn't be retracted, they circled back and forth in place, and couldn't go into battle at all.Soon the Chinese soldiers using Jorgensen rifles also started shooting. There were much more riflemen than machine gunners, so the power of platoon guns was not lower than that of machine guns.
The more intensive bullet shooting made the confusion of the Australian cavalry more and more serious.Bai Lang's tactics were ruthless enough, he ambushed the entire White Wolf mercenary group in the woods. This time the sneak attack knocked the Australian soldiers on their backs, and they were powerless to fight back.
The infantry with bayonets quickly rushed out of the woods. They rushed to the chaotic cavalry with their rifles in hand, and solved the remaining Australian soldiers with bayonets.The battle went very smoothly, and only more than 2000 of the nearly 30 Australian cavalry regiment escaped in the end.To these white soldiers, Bai Lang was very vicious, and all the survivors were stabbed to death with bayonets, leaving no prisoners at all.He then ordered the corpses to be piled up and burned to ashes.
A cavalry regiment was wiped out on the road before seeing the enemy.The Australian army was shocked by the fighting power of the opponent. The troops landed by the third division did not dare to attack any more. While they asked the government for help, they built fortifications around Darwin Port and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
After receiving the telegram for help from the Third Division, the Governor's Mansion was shocked, and they had to immediately order the Ninth Division to board the ship and go to Darwin Port to support the Third Division.Perhaps the government believes that South Australia is extremely safe, and the defense of Canberra and Sydney was handed over to the locals to form the National Guard.
Zhou Jianping, who led the troops to the south, had just entered the Great Artesian Basin. They were going to cross this barren land to the white settlement.The Great Artesian Basin, also known as the Great Basin of Australia and New Zealand, is the third largest basin in the world and the largest artesian basin in the world.
Chapter 7 and Eight
The Great Artesian Basin is located in the east-central part of the Australian and New Zealand continent, with an area of about 177 million square kilometers.It lies between the eastern highlands and the western highlands, from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the south, up to the source of the Darling River and the Lake Eyre Basin, including one-third of Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia Most of Asia and part of the northern region.The eastern edge of the basin is roughly bounded by the western foot of the Great Dividing Range, with higher terrain and lower west, north, and south sides.This is a shallow dish-shaped syncline basin and the largest groundwater distribution area in the world.
On the Australian and New Zealand rock formations, there is a thick impermeable layer covering it.This time of the year is the rainy season, a large amount of rain falls on the ground to form a water receiving area, because of the isolation of the impermeable layer, the water flows to the western region with little rain in the form of groundwater flow.Because there is abundant water here, the pressure of groundwater is not small, and the pressurized water can gushes out of the surface through drilling or natural springs, hence the name of the Great Artesian Basin.
This time the first division carried a large amount of food, and there was no shortage of food during the march. The accompanying Chen Zhen and the third regiment of the special warfare division were all good at surviving in the wild.Not only can they find a way in the wilderness, but they can also hunt various local animals to supplement the food consumption of the army.
In fact, edible animals such as kangaroos are not uncommon in the Great Artesian Basin. With the help of special forces, they can replenish fresh meat for the soldiers from time to time.To survive here, what is actually lacking is not food but fresh water.
The groundwater in the Great Artesian Basin is mostly hot water wells containing sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and sodium chloride, which have a slightly salty taste.If it is directly used as drinking water, the more you drink it, the thirstier you may become, which is one of the reasons why this place is still undeveloped.Fortunately, it is now the rainy season, and there is never a lack of rain, but the underground rock formation determines that the ground is dry and hard like a stone when it is not raining, but once it starts to rain, it will turn into a river.
Every night when camping, the soldiers had to find a ledge to sleep in order not to be completely submerged in the water when it rained at night.It doesn't matter if you can't find the ledge, the special forces quickly taught everyone to build a shed on the tree.These sheds are very simple, as long as two logs are tied between two trees with a moderate distance, a hammock is fixed on it with an army blanket, and a roof is repaired with a raincoat on top.This kind of house is very fast and convenient to build, and it does not need to consume too much time at all.
It doesn't matter if there are no trees at a suitable distance, as long as wooden stakes are laid on the ground, soldiers can also build shacks.In this way, the residence can be about [-] centimeters above the ground, which is enough to avoid the rushing rainwater on the ground.
Relying on the rich field knowledge of the special forces, the soldiers traveled all the way south and spent a month crossing the Great Artesian Basin and arriving at the Bawang River.Looking at the rushing river in front of him, Zhou Jianping frowned slightly. He took everything into consideration, but he forgot that because of the arrival of the rainy season, this small stream has become a [-]-meter wide river with endless flowing water.
Because the water level here varies greatly between the rainy and dry seasons, Australians don't build ships in this kind of place, to be exact, they rarely even come nearby.Australia and New Zealand are sparsely populated and many places are undeveloped, and it is also a wild land.
"Commander, what do you think we should do here?" The division commander Huang Gonglue strode up to Zhou Jianping, also feeling worried.For the long-distance raid, the army's luggage can be saved as much as possible, and they did not prepare any means of crossing the river at all.Now facing such a wide and turbulent water, the Chinese army lacks the means to cross the river.
"What do you think about logging and building rafts?" Zhou Jianping said.
"Yes, but you need to send someone to check the water depth immediately. There should be no undercurrents or hidden reefs nearby. Deny that the raft is easy to capsize." Huang Gonglue said.
Zhou Jianping nodded: "That's right, let's do it right away. There are too many of us, and it's not easy to go over." At this moment, there was a clear gunshot not far away, and the two of them turned towards that direction. looked over.
The gunshots seemed to come from the other side of the river, which was obviously not the work of the Chinese army.On this side of the river, shots were soon also fired.The Chinese army fired not one or two people, but more than five people.Soon Chen Zhen came over: "The situation has changed."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jianping asked.
Chen Zhen sighed: "According to the previous reconnaissance, there should be no one here, but just now eight hunters passed by, and they seemed to be hunting. They spotted our army and shot across the river, but they missed. The special forces returned fire and killed six of them, but two escaped and I think they will pass the news to the Australian government soon."
"It seems that we have been exposed." Huang Gonglue looked at Zhou Jianping.
Zhou Jianping nodded: "Our sneak attack must be put on the bright side, and the Australians who have already attacked must not turn around and come back. Now the radio silence is no longer important, and immediately turn on the radio to send a report to the Lanfang Republic. The navy is ready to strike."
"Understood." A guard wrote the telegram and ran towards the place where the radio station was set up.
Huang Gonglue said: "Australia is underdeveloped. I think even if there are hunters here, they will not be too close to the town. Even if those people return to the town, there is no phone call from the town to inform Canberra. We can still continue to attack Take action to avoid the eyes and ears of the Australian army."
Zhou Jianping shook his head and said: "According to the intercepted information in the past few days, all the regular Australian troops have arrived at Darwin Port. Now we are not afraid of the other party's reaction. We only need to let the Lanfang fleet cut off the return of the Australian army, and we can easily annex the Australian army." New Leah."
"But once the Australian and New Zealand government intercepts the telegram, what should we do if we know our location? What if the Australian and New Zealand government flees to New Zealand?" Huang Gonglue asked.
Zhou Jianping smiled slightly: "The southern harbor has already been blocked by the submarines of the Lanfang Fleet. As long as they block Darwin Port with cruisers, the Australian army will be the one in the urn."
"Okay, but we have to hurry up. We can't give the Australians a chance to organize defense." Huang Gonglue said.
Chen Zhendao: "Let the special forces cross the river first and help you build a passage, it will be easier."
"How did you get there?" Zhou Jianping asked.
Chen Zhen smiled slightly: "Extreme drifting."
After receiving the order, the No. [-] Squadron quickly headed upstream, and they walked a full three kilometers before stopping.They felled a few trees and tied them with bark cords to form a raft.Five of the best water-based special forces served as the vanguard of this operation. Four of them paddled, and the other controlled the rope in the middle of the raft.
Chapter 7 and Nine
This rope was completed by the soldiers of the third regiment of the Special Warfare Division, who connected all the ropes they carried with them together.Now they are stacked in the middle of the raft and used by one of the warriors.Everyone worked together to retreat the raft into the water, and five people quickly jumped onto the raft.
A warrior on the right pushed his oar against a rock, and the raft quickly entered the rapids of the river.The four special forces worked together. They half-kneeled on the raft and moved the raft towards the opposite bank as quickly as possible.The special soldier holding the rope on the raft was also very nervous, and he was putting the rope as fast as possible.
The other end of the rope was connected to the shore, but the warrior who controlled the rope was also running, trying to keep the shortest distance from the raft.Under the impact of the current, the raft quickly moved downstream, and at the same time slowly rowed to the opposite bank.
The soldiers tried their best, paddled desperately, and headed for the opposite bank.The rope is being let out quickly, because the distance between the soldiers on the shore is getting farther and farther, and the rope is gradually being dragged into the water and drifting with the current.Both Zhou Jianping and Huang Gonglue stood on the rocks on the shore, frowning and looking into the distance.They are waiting for the news of the special forces, waiting for the news that they have successfully crossed the river.
"Here we come." Huang Gonglue pointed to the corner of the river in the distance and said.At this time, the raft was about to float to Huajundu, and they were still more than ten meters away from the opposite bank.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will fail." Zhou Jianping knew that the length of the rope was limited, and if he continued to rush like this, the rope would easily break.At this time, there was indeed a problem. The soldiers on the raft had released nine-tenths of the rope. If it continued, it would be difficult for the rope to bear such a large momentum.
At this critical moment, a paddling warrior closest to the opposite bank suddenly dropped the oar in his hand and reached out to pick up the rope under his feet.He tied the rope with the loop as fast as he could, and then threw it to the opposite bank.
The noose caught a rock precisely and stopped the raft as it rushed downstream.It turned out that this rope was a backup plan, and the soldier who threw the rope just now was the most accurate one among the special forces in throwing the noose.The rope was attached to the back of the raft in advance, so when the rope struggled to hold the raft firmly, no one was injured due to the high momentum.
Relying on this rope, the special forces slowly reached the other side.Seeing that someone had already passed by, bursts of cheers came from the Chinese army preparing to cross the river.The special forces were unmoved. They relied on the rope to cross the river and pulled a thick rope across.
The two ends of the thick rope were fastened to the reef on the shore, so that they had a rope bridge.In order to save time, the soldiers stopped making rafts, and each of them tied two pieces of wood, or sat on a wooden barrel barely enough to be a man.With the protection of the rope, crossing the river became much easier.They could have tied their bodies to the wood and dragged the rope slowly to the other side of the river.
As more and more people crossed the river, the special forces pulled up a few thick ropes, which made the efficiency much higher.But the Chinese army has more than 3000 people, and it may take a week to cross the river slowly with a few ropes.Zhou Jianping looked a little anxious. If he lingered here for too long, the Australian and New Zealand government would react.Even if they don't send troops to intercept, they will wantonly build fortifications near Canberra, which will be difficult.
"I have a way to cross the river quickly." Huang Gong said with a pat on the head.
"Oh? Come on, what is the solution?" Chen Zhen at the side also became more energetic.
Huang Gong pointed to some thick ropes and said: "Look at these ropes, if they are pulled closer, what will they look like?"
"You mean the rope bridge?" Chen Zhen's eyes lit up.
"That's right, it's a rope bridge, so the passing speed will be greatly accelerated." Zhou Jianping also nodded in satisfaction.
The crossing of the river stopped soon, and the soldiers on both sides gathered the ropes together, and this place soon became a rope bridge.Everyone worked together to cut down a lot of trees to make planks. It took only half a day to complete the plank rope bridge.
With the help of the rope bridge, although walking on it is very shaky, it is much better than slowly rubbing in the water.The soldiers who hadn't crossed the river quickly passed the rope bridge, and they all crossed the river in just over an hour.Looking at the pontoon bridge behind him, Huang Gong slightly smiled and said, "Finally all of them have crossed the river, let's tear down the rope bridge."
"No need." Zhou Jianping stopped and said, "Australia will belong to us sooner or later, and it is necessary to build bridges on these rivers. Anyway, there are no rivers in front of us, so we will keep the rope bridge, which is good for future construction."
"That's right." Huang Gonglue laughed at the same time, they were already full of confidence in victory.After crossing the river, the army did not stop, and the vanguard went straight to Burke.
Burke is located by the Bawang River. It is a small town with not many permanent residents.The Chinese army wanted to occupy this place not for supplies, but because there was a narrow-gauge train route leading directly to Sydney.The route was originally used for timber haulage as there is Australia's second largest logging site near Burke.Now this freight railway for transporting timber has been used by the Chinese army.
Using a seized freight train and a dozen flatbed vehicles for maintenance, the Chinese army was able to transport more than [-] soldiers at a time.As the division commander, Huang Gonglue handed over the troops to Zhou Jianping for management, while he took the [-]st Infantry Regiment on the train and headed towards Sydney.
The actions of the Chinese army took the Australian and New Zealand government by surprise. They had no time to gather white militiamen from nearby cities, so they had to send people to demolish all the railway lines from Dubbo to Orange.Ningen did not have many white militiamen to defend, and was rushed by the train, but after arriving in Dabo, Huang Gonglue encountered problems.
