Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Old cunning guy! What a cunning guy!" Hearing Lieutenant General Tomosaka's smooth words, Lieutenant General Terao cursed in his heart and lost interest in making temporary allies. He said lightly: "That's fine, I have just that.  If you agree, then just wait for the order from the headquarters. By the way, Tomosaka-kun, I have already reported the sudden attack by Chinese troops to the headquarters. I believe there will be a reply soon!"

    After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Terao, Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Japanese troops stationed in Australia, was suddenly struck like five thunderbolts. He was burned to pieces on the outside and tender on the inside. Stars appeared in his eyes and he almost stumbled to the ground.  !

    Now, there is no need to doubt or speculate, the ruthless facts have proven that the troops of the damned Chinese devil Tang Qiuli have taken action in southern Australia.

    Lieutenant General Morishita himself knew how many troops were deployed in the southern coastal areas of Australia. Four divisions plus an independent brigade, other miscellaneous local garrison forces plus the military police force, the number was less than 130,000 at best. What's more,  I have just received a notification from the Army Aviation Department at the base camp that the three aviation groups deployed in southern Australia are almost exhausted!

    Under his orders, the main forces of the 43rd Division and the 45th Division on the front line in Melbourne were already on their way to assist Adelaide. In Melbourne and its surrounding areas, the Royal Army was empty of troops, facing  Under the attack of the independent division's huge strength and superior sea and air firepower, Melbourne will not be protected.

    In the direction of Adelaide, Lieutenant General Morishita had no hope. That damn Okabe had abandoned the city and fled. Adelaide must have been lost.  Almost within a day, smoke broke out in southern Australia and warnings were sent frequently.  Losing cities and territory one after another.

    Lieutenant General Morishita was in a state of confusion. In fact, in addition to losing some troops in Adelaide and Melbourne, the Imperial Australian Army also had a complete 40th Division and the 40th Division in southern Australia.  The main force of the Third Division and the 45th Division.  In total, there are more than 50,000 people, which is a considerable force.

    But the crux of the matter is.  Lieutenant General Morishita was now indecisive and unable to decide whether to order these troops to gather together and recapture Adelaide or Melbourne.  Or temporarily avoid the offensive edge of the independent division troops.  Evacuate to central Australia and bide your time?

    After I sent a telegram to the base camp, I still haven¡¯t received a reply. What is the base camp thinking?  What should we do if the more than 50,000 troops are used up during the battle to retake Adelaide or Melbourne and fail to achieve the expected goal?

    If three divisions are ordered to withdraw to the central region of Australia, if the base camp is ordered to recapture the two lost areas.  Wouldn't he be charged with the crime of retreating before the war?  The Army Aviation Department's briefing at the base camp was harsh and unprecedented, implying that it was responsible for the losses of the three aviation groups.

    So many troubles are entangled together. As for Lieutenant General Terao's very disrespectful telegram, it is child's play. Lieutenant General Morishita doesn't have the energy to care about this matter. What he needs to do now is to send the message as soon as possible.  Come up with solutions to the crisis in southern Australia.

    After much deliberation, Lieutenant General Morishita couldn't make a decision. He simply sent another telegram to the base camp, reporting that Melbourne was attacked by the independent division and lost, and asked for instructions. These problems would be a headache for the base camp.  , Moreover, involving the war in the entire southwest Pacific occupied area of ????the empire, my own brains and authority cannot bear such an important task. Handing over the issue is not a shirk of responsibility.

    After sending the telegram to the base camp, Lieutenant General Morishita sent another telegram to the commander of the 40th Division, Lieutenant General Suzuki, the commander of the 43rd Division, Lieutenant General Terao, and the commander of the 45th Division, Lieutenant General Tomosaka.  , each issued an order, "Stop advancing and stay where you are!"

    Then, he gave the order to Major General Takeuchi, the leader of the independent third brigade in Tasmania, who was trapped like a beast, "Stand to the island and wait for reinforcements!"

    After doing this, Lieutenant General Morishita began to wait for the order from the base camp with a frown.

    Indochina, Yangon, in the headquarters of the Independent Division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe pushed open the door of Division Commander Tang Qiuli's office, waving a telegram in his hand and shouted: "Division Commander, good news.  , I just received a telegram from Deputy Commander Tang that the troops attacking Australia have completed their planned landings in Adelaide and Melbourne, and are progressing in depth! So far, the war is going very smoothly! "

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli's eyes suddenly lit up. He took the telegram and browsed it quickly. The other contents of the telegram were not important. As long as the troops landed successfully, the purpose of the expedition to Australia was completed. "Yuhe, this  You know, Deputy Commander Tang is so calm that he will not send a telegram unless he is very sure!"

    "Hahaha!" Zhao Yuhe smiled a little awkwardly. Indeed, tomorrow morning, other troops will march to the Southwest Taiping as planned.When the foreign and Japanese troops launched their attack on the islands, if the troops on the expedition to Australia did not complete the landing operations as planned, the attacks of these troops would have to be postponed.

    "Commander, are the troops following the original plan?" Zhao Yuhe asked impatiently.

    "The plan remains unchanged!" Tang Qiuli said simply, "Yu He, send a telegram back to Deputy Commander Tang. I am very happy to hear that your troops successfully landed in southern Australia and captured Adelaide and Melbourne.  , please convey my greetings and respect to the officers and soldiers of the Australian Expeditionary Force!¡±

    "In addition, based on the actual situation, I believe that the troops attacking Australia should quickly and vigorously advance to northern Australia in order to disrupt the Japanese military's deployment of troops in various areas of the Southwest Pacific. This opinion is for reference only. How to implement it will depend on Australia.  The decision of the battle headquarters shall prevail!¡±

    The attack on southern Australia with heavy military conflict was a heavy blow, hitting the vital point of the Japanese occupied area in the Southwest Pacific. Australia shoulders the heavy responsibility of logistical supply for the Japanese army on the American battlefield, and is a must-protect place for the Japanese. Next  , the Southeast Mobile Corps and the directly-affiliated Corps troops will withstand the full counterattack of the Japanese army. The Southwest Pacific campaign plan focuses on the Australian battlefield. I am afraid that the decisive battle in the future will also be on the Australian battlefield.

    "Commander, tell me, how will the Japanese react when they find out that we are attacking Australia?" Zhao Yuhe came back after sending the telegram. Seeing that the commander was deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask.

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s question interrupted Tang Qiuli¡¯s thoughts.

    "What's your reaction? Hum!" Tang Qiuli smiled coldly and said, "With the current strength of the Japanese army in Australia, they will definitely be defeated. The Japanese have no other choice but to increase their troops!"

    The reply from the division commander soon reached Tang Qiusheng's hands. He thought for a moment and said to Tang Qiuquan: "Qiuquan, the division commander's intention is very obvious. He is to use our offensive in Australia to mobilize Japanese reinforcements from other areas in the Southwest Pacific.  Create favorable opportunities for the next battle plan!¡±

    "So, my idea is that the troops should not rush to the north of Australia, but go to the south of Australia to severely damage and encircle the Japanese 40th Division, 43rd Division and 45th Division, as well as the Tas  The Japanese Third Independent Brigade on Mania Island is the main force. If the Japanese are hurt, they will naturally send troops for reinforcements. What do you think? "

    "Hahaha!" Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "Brother Qiu Sheng, you are the commander-in-chief, you just make the decision, I just follow the order!"

    Tang Qiusheng glared at his younger brother, and then said: "Okay, Battle Force, the plan to ambush the Japanese 40th Division remains unchanged. The fleet carrier-based aircraft fleet will be dispatched to air attack the Japanese 43rd Division and the 4th Division starting tomorrow.  The 15th Division then divided into two groups with eight brigades to outflank them, striving to eat up these two groups of Japanese troops on the Ararat line. As for the thousands of Japanese troops on Tasmania, we  Give you a brigade of troops, and you can command them to eat them!"

    As the night deepened, the fighting in Melbourne's urban area was still going on, but it was not fierce. The defending Japanese troops lost most of them on the beachhead. Counting the military police forces together, there were only more than 2,000 people left in the city.  , in such a huge Melbourne, what could such a few Japanese soldiers do to defend it? By nearly twelve o'clock at night, the independent division troops basically controlled the entire city.

    After receiving the report, Tang Qiusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed the planned plan. The rest is the battle that will begin tomorrow.

    In the direction of Adelaide, Battelle received a very good news. It was a telegram from Major Zhu Guozhong, leader of the fourth special operations team that infiltrated into South Australia. "Report to Commander Ba, our fourth special operations team, together with  The reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps successfully occupied the field airport of the Japanese 17th Air Force in Berry thirty minutes ago! "

    "After the battle, a squadron of the Japanese airport guard force was annihilated, and the Japanese 17th Air Force Major General Commander Noguchi was captured, as well as more than 80 Japanese pilots, and more than 200 Japanese airport ground staff. The airport facilities are well preserved and have a huge capacity.  Completed more than 400 combat aircraft that can land our army!"

    This news was more important than killing a regiment of Japs. Battelle and Xin Xiguo were so excited that they banged on the table. Battelle even urged Xin Xiguo: "Chief of Staff Xin, please inform Wu Zhenjiang immediately that we will give him the combat aircraft."  , found the nest!¡±

    At Berry Airport, members of the Fourth Group of the Special Operations Detachment and soldiers from the Reconnaissance Battalion of the First Brigade of the Corps were escorting captured Japanese ground crews, clearing the airport runway, and clearing the Japanese aircraft parked on the runway.  , pushed to the corner without hesitation, a special operations team member familiar with radio operations sat in the control tower, acting as a temporary air controller, communicating with the Wu Zhenjiang fleet.

    ¡°More than twenty minutes later, in the dark night sky, there was a roar of engines, and then countless flashing lightsThe navigation lights, like stars in the sky, fell to the ground. The fighter plane driven by Wu Zhenjiang was the first to land on the runway. As soon as the plane stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out of the cabin and watched the fighter planes landing one after another.  , looked up to the sky and laughed!
