Mozi City in the southeastern corner of Australia shrouded in darkness.
The Dongxiang Headquarters, more than 40 kilometers north of Mozi City, has a conference room decorated in Chinese style with bright lights. Tables, chairs and benches made of precious blue-printed striped ebony are all available. General Koichi Ishikawa, commander of the Japanese Australian Army, is there.
Sitting upright at the chairperson's seat at the reverse "u" shaped conference table,
Sitting on his right are Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yasushi Murakami, Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Tamura Yoshitomi, Intelligence Staff Colonel Yazozo Yazo and Operations Staff Colonel Masao Matsumura. On his right is the visiting Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Jun Haremiya, Operations Officer
Minister Major General Hanatani Masaru and Chief of Operations Section Colonel Sanada Shoichiro.
Harem Jun saw Ishikawa Koichi with a worried look on his face and remained silent. Thinking about the mission he was undertaking, he spoke first: "Ishikawa-kun, the situation is very critical. The Chinese have landed across the entire Sumatra Island. According to the latest battle report, the entire coastal defense line has fallen.
, what is particularly worrisome is that the Chinese paratroopers have occupied various strategic points, making it impossible for the Imperial Japanese Army to connect from end to end, and the fall of the entire island will be a matter of time!
"On the North American battlefield, with the fall of the San Francisco defense line last month, the main force of the US military on the southern front has been pushing towards Portland and Seattle, the southwest towards Albuquerque and Denver, and the eastern front towards Rapid City, Capas, Gangcun
Jun led his troops to fight fierce battles with the US military in the Cascade Ridge of Oregon, as well as the Colorado Plateau and Missouri Plateau. At present, the central and western regions of North America
Most of the factories and enterprises in the area have been relocated. Doi Genjun led the 26th Army, the 27th Army, and the 31st Army retreated to Panama by land. The Mexican defense line was led by Kawabe Shozojun led the 6th Army and the 31st Army.
The 17th Army and the 28th Army held firm while Yamashita fought and retreated. They have now retreated to the Rocky Mountains and are expected to withdraw to South America early next year.
"Looking at the overall war situation, the empire is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. This time Tada-kun asked me to come to visit, just to ask Ishikawa-kun for his advice on how to deal with the current situation? Especially on Sumatra Island, if we still can't think of a way
.I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on there for even half a month!”
"It's tricky!"
Ishikawa Koichi said with a wry smile: "If it were me, I would definitely order the imperial troops on the Lanyin Islands and Luzon Islands to be broken into pieces, dispersed into the mountains and forests, and deal with the An family army skillfully to delay as much time as possible. The rest of the troops will be withdrawn.
Australia and the Japanese archipelago must use all their forces to defend the Anjia Army to the death, lengthen the supply line of the Anjia Army, and plunge it into the vast sea of people's war. Strive for opportunities for changes in the international situation!"
"People's War? Isn't this the plan of the China Red Party?" Hua Guzheng asked puzzledly: "Is there any chance to turn defeat into victory now?"
Ishikawa Koichi shook his head and remained silent.
Lieutenant General Yasushi Murakami had a stern look in his eyes, and Koichi Dai Ishikawa explained: "Poisoning, night attacks, suicide bombings, etc. are all important means of people's war, killing every elderly person, child and woman.
, have become weapons of attack. This is the highest true meaning of people’s war, and the Yamato nation does not need cowards!”
Major General Tamura Yoshitomi stood up and said with emotion: "As long as we can persevere without fear of sacrifice and inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible, between the gains and the sacrifices, our opponents will definitely weigh whether it is worth it. As long as tens of millions of people are united and united.
, we will definitely win the final victory!"
"Inappropriate, inappropriate!"
Sanada Shoichiro shook his head repeatedly: "That will only bring unnecessary sacrifices to the people! Based on my understanding of the An family army. Once we really do this, they will not mind killing us and our tribe completely to eliminate all dangers.
!It’s so thankless and you absolutely can’t do this!”
Colonel Masao Matsumura, the combat staff officer, criticized: "Sanada-kun, you are a coward and you are not worthy of being a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire! Don't forget the positive role that fighting will can play in war!"
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
Sanada Shoichiro showed no sign of weakness and retorted: "If the will to fight can determine the outcome of the war, we will not lose our troops every time we encounter the Anjia army! We have worked hard to build the Sumatra Island defense line for more than three years, consuming manpower.
There are countless material resources. What was the result? It collapsed after not persisting for a day!
"Previously, we pinned our hopes of victory on the Imperial Navy. However, since Admiral Nagumo led the First Air Force to attack and suffered a disastrous defeat without even touching the opponent's face, we understand even more that the opponent's strength has far exceeded
Beyond our imagination, not only the army, but also the navy that the empire is proud of are not enough!
"Our opponents, both the navy and the army, are unable to stop them from advancing step by step, and they actually want to encourage unarmed civilians to launch suicide attacks. That is a crime, and I will never allow it!"
"Speaking of the Navy's failure, what exactly happened?" Rear Admiral Tamura Yoshitomi asked doubtfully: "The First Air Fleet is the main force of the Imperial Navy. It failed out of nowhere. We almost couldn't believe it after seeing the battle report.
With your own eyes, has our opponent grown to this point?"
"I'm ashamed to say that up to now, the Imperial Army General Staff Headquarters doesn't know how General Nagumo failed. Even the military command department can't agree. They always feel that what happened to General Nagumo is weird!"
Harem Chun touched Rendanhu under his nose, and a gloomy look appeared on his face: "Use long-range rockets to attack fixed targets. The previous attacks on the Imperial Islands have been verified, and the principle is well understood. But what weapons are there?"
Is it possible to carry out such precise strikes against moving targets in the air and on the sea?
"The scientists of the empire tried every means to crack the principle of Anjiajun's weapons, but they couldn't figure it out... Think about it, how much advanced science and technology is needed to specifically target an aircraft carrier among dozens of warships? In the future, the navy's ships will still be
Do you dare to get close to the Chinese land?"
"This battle is indeed difficult to fight!"
Ishikawa Koichi broke the silence: "Ishihara-kun called me and said that the Anjiajun's weapon is called a missile. It is an unmanned weapon that relies on a guidance system to control the flight path and can designate attack targets and even track the target's movements. Its mission
The warhead charge is detonated near the target and damages the target, or it relies on its own kinetic energy to directly hit the target without a warhead to achieve the damage effect.
"It can be said that the emergence of this weapon changed the course of the war, causing the navy that the empire was proud of to suddenly lose its lead over the navies of the great powers, and the sea that it relied on before suddenly became less lovely... Today's
It doesn’t matter if the situation is defended or not!
"However, we at least need to be clear about one thing, that is, we must delay the Anjia Army in the Lanyin Islands and Luzon Islands as much as possible. Otherwise, we will wait until the Anjia Army can launch the air, sea and ground missiles that rely on land.
If the attacking missiles are deployed to the island of New Guinea, the Arafura Sea, Torres Strait and Coral Sea will all be under threat, and the empire will be even more dangerous!"
"Eh!?"
Harem Chun was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely: "Why does Mr. Ishihara know so clearly? You want to know what kind of missile this is, but even military experts don't know!"
"I'm afraid this is a secret that only belongs to Ishihara-kun!"
Ishikawa Koichi said with some helplessness: "Just like his keen intuition and judgment about war, Ishihara-kun always has a clear understanding of advanced weapons and equipment... In fact, as far as I know, Ishihara-kun also called Tada about this matter
Jun. I guess Tada-kun was worried that too many people would panic if he knew about it, so he kept it a secret!
"Ishihara-kun found it very difficult to accept the loss of important personnel in the Imperial Nuclear Research Department. He called me personally and criticized the security failures in Australia, citing the losses of scientists such as Yoshio Nishina, Yoshiyoshi Saga, Bunzai Arakatsu, and Shoshi Kikuta.
, causing the empire to lose the ability to create atomic weapons. And our opponent An Jiajun is likely to already possess this kind of weapon that will destroy the world!"
Harem Chun had participated in the establishment of the atomic bomb project and was well aware of the power of this weapon. Hearing this, his face turned pale. The generals of the Australian Army did not know why, so Harem Chun patiently explained what an atomic bomb was. As a result, everyone was shocked after hearing this.
It's like beating a drum and making it difficult to sit still.
"There is both research on the atomic bomb itself and research on the delivery weapon. Now that Anjiajun has solved the delivery problem by developing missiles, the atomic bomb must have also been developed!"
Ishikawa Koichi's tone was filled with sadness: "Ishihara-kun called me and told me some ways to deal with atomic weapons, and asked me to lead my troops to retreat to South America when the war situation is unfavorable. At this time, the further away from the An family army, the better.
, and the South American continent has unique advantages!”
Hanatani, who had followed Ishihara Wanji for many years, exclaimed: "Did Ishihara-kun have already predicted this day, so he left for South America?"
No one could answer Hanatani Tadashi's question, and the atmosphere in the conference room was depressing.
At this time, Colonel Inoki Ichiro, the communications staff officer, walked quickly into the conference room. He came to Ishikawa Koichi. He bowed and handed a message with both hands.
Ishikawa Koichi gasped after reading this and said to Harem Jun: "Not only is Sumatra in danger now. We are also facing a huge crisis... According to the reconnaissance submarine report, the transport ship carrying the China Expeditionary Force is passing through the Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea.
, we will face an unprecedentedly brutal anti-landing operation."
"ah!"
The generals looked at each other in shock, then woke up and dispersed, rushing to their posts.
...
In the early morning of November 24th, the day after the Anjiajun successfully landed on Sumatra Island, under the cover of the Anjiajun Navy's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Task Forces, the Chinese Expeditionary Force began to attack Australia.
Landing will be carried out in the southeast direction.
In order to seize the main landing site in the southeastern part of the Australian continent in one go, the expeditionary force dispatched nearly 300,000 troops in one go, and almost all of the Anjia Navy's Pacific Fleet was dispatched.
During the beach landing campaign, the nine infantry divisions of the Southwest Allied Forces commanded by Zhan Huanqi were responsible for the ground attack, with a total strength of approximately 260,000. The four infantry divisions commanded by Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Li Weiqing were responsible for air cover and maritime support.
The large aircraft carrier formation, as well as one division of the Anjia Army Air Force and 26 brigades of the National Government Air Force, have a total fleet of about 5,000 aircraft, which can be described as overwhelming.
Starting at six o'clock in the morning, a huge air strike formation consisting of more than 600 B4 and B5 bombers and thousands of escort fighter jets took off from the military airport on Tasmania Island and began to carry out fierce attacks on the Japanese defense lines.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the air strike formation arrived over the designated target. Immediately, it was like rain over the Japanese defense lines. Countless huge incendiary bombs fell one after another, hitting the Japanese coastal defense positions without reservation. 600
Multiple heavy bombers
In just over half an hour, the coastal defense lines on both sides of Port Phillip Bay, Westport and Wilson Peninsula were brought into the fire-filled country. The raging fire burning on the beach looked like it was at dusk from a distance.
The sky is as majestic as the burning clouds.
In less than an hour of carpet scorch bombing, this strategic bomber from the Anjiajun Military Industrial Group reduced to ashes a total of more than 100 kilometers of Japanese defenses along the beach that the Japanese army had painstakingly managed. Countless Japanese defenses were hidden in bunkers and bunkers.
Many Japanese soldiers were not directly buried in the raging fire, but were steamed to death by the instantly rising high temperature and turned into cooked meat with an alluring aroma.
Just after the two waves of intensive bombing ended, at 7:45 in the morning, the landing operation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force officially began. Under the cover of swarms of air force fighters and carrier-based aircraft, countless soldiers swarmed up to destroy the dead.
With this momentum, several major landing sites on the Wilson Peninsula were captured.
Australia has a long coastline, and it is impossible to cover everything. Moreover, in the southwest Pacific, the Japanese army has been on the offensive and has never paid much attention to defense. The direct consequence of this is that the Japanese army on the defense line cannot organize effectively in the face of such a powerful offensive.
With the counterattack, the coastal defense line collapsed in just half a day.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force successfully seized the battlefield initiative on the Wilson Peninsula.
While attacking at the front, the Anjiajun Navy cooperated with the expeditionary officers and soldiers and successfully recovered King Island, Flinders Island, Furno Islands and Cape Barren Island in Bass Strait.
As of 6 p.m. that day, more than 80,000 soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force had successfully landed on the Australian mainland, thus marking the opening of the Australian mainland battlefield.
