super god warlord

The next morning, William Grant ordered breakfast to be eaten an hour earlier. He wanted to launch a general offensive with superior force and try to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.The Australian and New Zealand military camp was eating in a mess. Because of time constraints, everyone moved very fast.In order to save time, many soldiers did not return to the barracks to eat, but sat in the large open space in the camp and ate.

The Australian and New Zealand officers and soldiers were eating with their heads down. No one noticed a biplane hovering slowly at an altitude of 1000 meters overhead. "See clearly? What are the Australians doing?" asked the driver in the front seat.

The observers in the back seat took binoculars and carefully observed the Australian and New Zealand military camps.Hearing the driver's inquiry, the observer said: "It's strange, the Australians seem to have eaten early, and now the middle of the camp is full of people."

"It's a good opportunity for shelling." The driver said with a smile, "Send a telegram to the artillery and let them greet you." Hearing the driver's suggestion, the observer immediately put down the binoculars and used the transmitter in the rear cabin to operate stand up.

This mysterious plane belongs to the Lanfang Air Force. This newly established air force has only one regiment.However, although the sparrow is small, the three brigades of the entire air force regiment are equipped with fighter jets, bombers and reconnaissance planes.Among them, the fighter and bomber brigade used the same aircraft as the Western Special Administrative Region Air Force, while the equipment of the reconnaissance aircraft brigade was based on the original Feng 1 reconnaissance aircraft, and an improved version of the radio transmitter was added.

Chapter 733 Smash the Northern Australia

This time, it was a squadron of the reconnaissance aircraft brigade who followed the Lanfang First Army to enter Australia to fight. In the past few days, the pilots of each group took turns driving the Feng 1 reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance over the Australian military camp. They have basically found out each other's routine.

Originally, these planes could be used as artillery tactical observation posts, but the Australian Chinese Army does not have many artillery pieces, and it is not very useful to indicate the target.Today's situation is a bit different. Last night, the Lanfang First Army entered the position. Although they did not have the domestically produced 150mm howitzers that were gradually replaced like the West Army, they still had some [-]mm howitzers.

It is for this reason that the reconnaissance plane lowered its observation altitude today, but it turned out to have an unexpected discovery.The coordinates sent by the radio soon reached the artillery unit. The artillery unit had been busy in the middle of the night. They had just built the artillery position and were about to have breakfast and rest for a while.

When the reconnaissance plane sent the coordinates of the Australian army and the information that the Australian army was eating at the same time, the Lanfang artillerymen forgot the fatigue of not sleeping all night, and quickly returned to their artillery positions.

"Attention all, the scale is 80, the distance is 6500, load incendiary bombs, and fire ten rounds rapidly." Following the artillery commander's loud order, all artillerymen quickly completed loading and pulled the firing gun rope.

The atmosphere in the Australian army camp where they were eating was very relaxed. This time was the most comfortable time of the day for them, and it was also a time for emotional exchanges with each other.Many people chatted while eating, some were joking, and some were even playing poker.

At this moment, there was a piercing piercing sound, and the loud sound attracted everyone's attention.William Grant, who was eating breakfast in the barracks, changed his expression. Having been on the battlefield for several years, he immediately recognized the source of the sound. It was the howling sound of shells tearing through the air.

William Durant threw away the bread and milk in his hand and rushed out of the tent, but it was too late.When he opened the tent and looked out to the open space, what he saw was already a flame soaring into the sky.

A [-]mm caliber incendiary bomb with two kilograms of dynamite inside the warhead.Although these explosives are not powerful but burn violently and release poisonous smoke, they are the mainstream of incendiary bombs today.

The howitzer regiment of the Lanfang First Army concentrated fire and attacked, and 48 such incendiary bombs fell on the Australian camp almost at the same time.Following the sound of a series of not-so-violent explosions, the entire camp was suddenly engulfed in flames.

The Lanfang Artillery reloaded quickly, and soon another 48 shells fell, followed by the third and fourth batches.The shells that fell like raindrops enveloped a large area of ​​the barracks in flames. There was a lot of chaos in the Australian army. Everyone threw down their breakfast and used all kinds of things at hand to fight the fire.

Subsequently, the Australian artillery also launched retaliatory shelling, but the Australian army's 75mm mountain artillery had a limited range and could not reach the opponent's [-]mm howitzer position at all. They could only be regarded as psychological comfort.

William Grant soon discovered that fighting the fire was a futile job. The enemy's shells kept coming, the casualties of the Australian army continued to increase, and there were more and more fire points in the camp.Confused, William Grant immediately ordered the entire army to abandon the camp and launch a full-scale charge towards the Chinese army position.

During this period of time, the Chinese army has always stuck to its position and rarely used artillery to fight back.Today they suddenly attacked the Australian army with intensive shelling, which gave William Grant an ominous premonition.Based on William Grant's combat experience, he could tell that the caliber of the opponent's artillery must be larger than his own, which meant that the opponent had a large-caliber howitzer unit.

The Australian Chinese army that hastily revolted only had light weapons, not to mention that they did not have such artillery, even if they did, no one would be able to operate it.There is only one possibility for such a situation to occur. The Lanfang National Defense Forces participating in the battle have arrived, and the shelling just now must be their masterpiece.

The port of Darwin was captured, the Australian army had no way out, supplies were almost exhausted and reinforcements were lacking.Now even with the ability of William Grant, all he can do is to push forward and strive for the only chance of survival.Braving the fierce artillery fire from the other side, the Australian army launched a desperate charge. This time, no one of them will be timid, and no one will back down, because the officer has already conveyed the order.The camp was destroyed and there was no way to retreat. Everyone could only move forward and not back. Those who took a step back died.

The Australian army's offensive was extremely crazy. The soldiers in front were shot down by machine guns, and the people behind would not hesitate at all, and would soon continue to move forward on the corpses of their companions.If the Australian army had such decisive courage a few days ago, the Chinese army's defense line would have been defeated, but today is different.

The Australian Chinese Army in the past was just an insurgent army, and their weapons were all rifles and a few machine guns.There is the problem that heavy weapons are difficult to transport, and there is also the problem that Zhao Shouhong has scruples and is unwilling to let the Saar people transfer their doubts to the Western Special Zone.

Now the situation has been completely reversed. With the help of the Hollywood consortium, the Lanfang Republic has established a relatively complete military industry system.As long as the weapons transported from the Western Special Zone bear the brand name produced by Lanfang, they can travel here unimpeded.What's more, the Lanfang First Army is the absolute main force of the Lanfang Republic, and its weapons and equipment are not far behind that of the West Army. It has a huge advantage against these Australian troops, which can only be regarded as third-rate among whites.

Now the Chinese army's position is dominated by machine guns. Lan Fang's army is equipped with all kinds of light and heavy machine guns covering the front line, blocking all the offensive channels of the Australian army.Today's battlefield is no longer an era where mass charge can be effective. Facing a large number of rapid-fire weapons, William Grant, who uses traditional infantry tactics, can only end in defeat in the end.

On the battlefield between China and Australia, there has been an overwhelming massacre.The heroic deeds of the Australian army, one after another, can only be exchanged for the chatter of the soldiers of the Chinese army.When Lanfang's machine guns stopped firing due to overheating, the entire battlefield had turned into a Shura hell.The Australian soldiers who were killed and wounded covered the battlefield, and no one could stand anymore.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence, and the strong smell of blood and choking gunpowder smoke filled the area within a few kilometers.Liu Yuan resisted the sharp pain in his throat and straightened up from the trench. Seeing that there were no more Australian assault troops, he immediately ordered the Lanfang Army to send two regiments to attack in a scattered formation to scout the situation on the entire battlefield.

The Lanfang soldiers who were ordered to attack carried their rifles and moved forward cautiously. They had to find a place to stay among the scattered corpses, or carefully fiddled with suspicious corpses to kill any Australian soldiers who were still breathing.

Chapter 734 Monash's Judgment

A safety signal came from ahead, and Liu Yuan immediately sent another division to clean up the battlefield.The soldiers found William Grant's body on the battlefield. At this time, he had been shot so that he could not see his original appearance. The search personnel could only confirm his identity through his military uniform and lieutenant general rank.

The statistics came up quickly. Except for some artillerymen who fled after the Australian artillery positions were destroyed, the remnants of the third and ninth divisions of the Australian army, more than [-] people under Lieutenant General William Grant, all died here. .

This battle can be regarded as a turning point in the war against Australia. Since then, there has been no white organized army in northern and western Australia.In the next few months, the whites were completely expelled from most of Australia and New Zealand, and the white Australians only had the last stronghold in South Australia to use.

General John Monash, the commander-in-chief of the Australian army, received the report five days later. When he read the information transferred by the spy personnel of the Saar country, his face was already ashen.

"William Grant did his duty. The Third Division and the Ninth Division were wiped out. Except for South Australia, there is no organized white army. A few days ago, the Lanfang Army sent troops to occupy the western part of New Guinea Island. Their navy Cooperating with the Army is eating away at our islands, Australia is over." John Monash stood up and walked around the room twice.

Australian Governor Sir Ferguson and Prime Minister Billy Hughes, who had been sitting on the sofa, kept looking at him, following John Monash's footsteps and turning back and forth twice.

Seeing that John Monash remained silent, Sir Ferguson couldn't bear it anymore: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I hope you can tell me exactly how long South Australia can hold on, and whether we can hold on until the Saar army arrives."

"I don't know." John Monash sighed.

"What?" Prime Minister Billy Hughes exclaimed, "Are we already at the mercy of others?"

John Monash stopped and looked at the two of them and said: "With the pure judgment of a soldier, I can tell you that if the Chinese army and Lanfang army in the north do not go south in a big way, we can even counterattack and wipe out that Chinese army. But now I can't guarantee that, because I have not received any definite information that would allow me to be sure when and how many enemy troops from the north will come south."

"Then according to your estimate, how long will it take for the reinforcements from Saar to arrive?" Sir Ferguson asked.

John Monash looked at the two of them and said: "I advise you to put away such illusions. From the moment the Saar Kingdom expelled us from the Saar Federation, it was impossible to send reinforcements. In fact, even if they wanted to, they didn't." Reinforcements can be sent, and the war in the Western Continent is now very unfavorable to the Allied Powers, and Saar cannot mobilize enough forces."

"So we have been completely isolated." Prime Minister Billy Hughes showed despair and loss on his face.

John Monash nodded: "The Hualan people's combat method this time is very novel. They used public opinion to oppress the Saar country and completely isolated Australia and New Zealand. They also used the Lanfang Republic to fight against us and overwhelmed us with superior forces. We, we didn't deserve to lose this time."

"What do you mean?" asked Sir Ferguson, frowning.

John Monash patted himself on the forehead: "I mean this Hualan riot is not simple, it has a deep Hualan background. If I guess right, it must be related to the magical Western District Its founder, Zhao Shouhong, may be involved in the establishment of the Kokang Kingdom and the current Lanfang Republic."

"Do you have any evidence?" Sir Ferguson was taken aback, and then asked back.

John Monash said: "It's very simple. Now the Kokang Kingdom has been incorporated into the Western Special Administrative Region, and the weapons and equipment of the Lanfang Republic are the same as those of the Western Special Administrative Region. It seems that the Western Special Administrative Region did not participate in the battle against Australia, but in fact Their public opinion propaganda played a decisive role.”

"This is just your inference, and it's totally groundless. You must know that the Hualan people in Australia were originally just workers used by the Hollywood consortium to mine mines. What's more, in the Lanfang Republic, the Hollywood consortium in the White Eagle Kingdom has a large number of industries. Don't you think that this is also White Eagle Nation dealing with us?" Sir Ferguson asked back.

"I don't know why the Hollywood consortium helped the Hualan people, maybe it's because they also have a lot of industries in the Western District." John Monash jerked his shoulders and said, "However, in terms of control over the Eastern Ocean, the White Eagle Kingdom is the largest. The enemy is the Wa country. Although the Wa country has been defeated by the Hualan army several times, it cannot harm its roots. Maybe the White Eagle country wants to support Hualan to fight against the Wa-wa alliance, and we are just a dead ghost."

"In this way, we have become victims of the future hegemony between Saar and White Eagle," said Prime Minister Billy Hughes.

"That's right, now that the Saar Empire is unable to look eastward, our failure is doomed, so I propose to surrender." John Monash said: "At least we can save our lives, and we can take a boat back to the Western Continent to live. "

"No, we must not do this. If this is the case, we will become sinners of Australia and New Zealand, and the Sargon will not let us go." Sir Ferguson gritted his teeth and said, "Now our only way out is to fight The Chinese army retreating from South Australia will use this as our last position. At least until I communicate with the New Zealand government, whether they send reinforcements or receive white refugees here, it is better than us surrendering directly.”

"Well, as a soldier, if Your Excellency the Governor gives such an order, I will lead my loyal soldiers to stand firm to the end." John Monash stood at attention and saluted: "However, I want to remind Your Excellency that our army can only last for a month at most. "

"One month? Maybe it's enough." Sir Ferguson gritted his teeth, and looked at the cloudy sky by the window.

After replenishing supplies and ammunition, John Monash led the whole army to march towards the Australian mountains.The Australian and New Zealand mountains are composed of the Snow Mountains, the Bowen Mountains, and the Barry Mountains. There are Mount Kosciusko, the highest peak on the entire island of Australia, and the origins of some coastal rivers such as the Murray River and the Malambige River. land.

As the southern end of the Great Dividing Range, the Australian and New Zealand Mountains are not too steep. The mountains here are continuous but mostly gentle after all. The mountains are densely covered with jungle, which is a great obstacle to marching.

As the first division of the Chinese army, most of the team has local Hualan people as guides. They can freely shuttle in the dense jungle and avoid the reconnaissance of the Australian army.Compared with the Chinese army, the Australian army is much more difficult.The main force of the Australian army is drawn from all over the country, and South Australian soldiers only account for [-]% of them.What's more, the Australian and New Zealand mountains are not the traditional activity area of ​​white people, and there are very few white people who are familiar with it.

Chapter 735 Showing Flaws

The Australian army could only rely on the compass and the parallel advancement of large troops to carefully search for the traces of the Chinese army.The Australian army is crossing mountains and ridges every day, and the complex terrain splits their formation. Sometimes, although the two teams keep advancing in parallel, they are separated by a mountain.If there is any crisis situation, it may take two or three hours for the rescue troops to arrive.
