Chapter 485: Raiding Australia
After capturing Miandian, the army units of the Chinese Empire did not continue to march westward to the Indian mainland, but set the direction of the main attack on the Australian continent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the cover of the naval fleet, more than 30,000 marines of the forward unit of the Chinese Army forcibly landed on the periphery of the port of Darwin, a port in northern Australia, quickly seized the beachhead, and advanced to the port area to outflank the port of Darwin.
The local British troops stationed in Darwin immediately dispatched more than 20,000 troops to counterattack and launch a fierce assault on the Chinese army on the beachhead.
The marines of the Huaxia Army retreated slightly when they saw the British troops moving.
The senior commander of the British army who followed up did not study the Huaxia army a lot, and knew very well that the Huaxia army was very good at deception, and after arriving at the front line, he saw the danger at a glance and immediately ordered the pursuing team to retreat.
However, it was too late, and two battleships and six cruisers of the Huaxia Army carried out a heavy bombardment of the British troops that entered the firing range with large-caliber main guns.
In the air, hundreds of airships took off from airship carriers captured from the Combined European Fleet, flying overhead and dropping bombs on the British.
Under the combined attack of the Chinese army by sea and air, in less than three hours, most of the 20,000-strong troops of the British army were annihilated, and the remaining half were in a state of embarrassment and wanted to flee back to the port of Darwin.
However, the Huaxia Army would never let the enemy flee back at this time, and the more than 200 tracked armored vehicles that followed the landing of the army rushed towards the fleeing enemy team at a maximum speed of forty or fifty kilometers, grabbed ahead of the enemy, and blocked the enemy's fleeing crowd.
The British army, which usually stood tall in front of the natives of all parts of the world, had never seen such a sharp land mechanized weapon, and immediately scattered in all directions in a panic.
The scattered and fleeing British troops brought a little trouble to the pursuit of the Chinese army, but they also completely lost all the ability to counterattack again.
Jiang Yunfeng, the supreme commander of the landing operation of the Huaxia Army, immediately ordered to pursue the enemy with 10,000 troops, while the rest of the main force advanced towards the port of Darwin.
After this battle, more than seventy percent of the troops in Darwin Port have been lost, and the remaining old and weak, although the defensive position system is intact, is not the opponent of the Chinese army at all.
Under the cover of battleships, cruisers, large-caliber heavy guns, and airships, the Huaxia Army tore a big hole in the defense system of Darwin City in just half a day, with armored vehicles as the lead.
The Marines and the Army Brigade, which followed behind, swarmed through the breach and stormed into Darwin, engaging the British in street fighting.
The troops in Darwin were not enough to fight against the powerful Chinese army, so the British troops stationed in the city mobilized the residents of the city, and all the strong men were incorporated into the army sequence, armed with a variety of old-fashioned weapons, and launched a crazy charge against the Chinese army that rushed into the city.
Jiang Yunfeng had also stepped on Australian soil from the landing ship at this time, and when he received the news from Darwin, he shook his head and said: "Nima's, if this English wants to make a rhythm of all the people being soldiers, it is really looking for death!" It's a good time, heavy artillery, airship, give me this Darwin City to the ground! ”
The population of Darwin City was less than 200,000, and the white inhabitants knew very little about the Chinese Empire, and they still regarded the Chinese army as an ordinary primitive indigenous tribe in the Far East.
This is a tragedy for the inhabitants of Darwin, who, like Don Quixote, charged at the windmill giants, only to be torn apart by the windmill giants.
The saddest thing is that many people in Darwin City did not understand until their deaths that the "barbarians" of the Huaxia army attacking Darwin City were far stronger than their strength.
Knowing that the white inhabitants of Darwin City viewed the Huaxia Army in this way, Jiang Yunfeng simply ordered: "Since we are regarded as barbarians, then we should be barbarians once!" ”
The infantry of the Chinese Army withdrew one kilometer back, and the heavy artillery and airship bombs of the Chinese Army came on the field and carried out indiscriminate bombardment of Darwin City, whether it was a military defensive position or a residential area, all swept through.
In the smoke of heavy bombardment, the city of Darwin was devastated.
In front of the ruined city and the mutilated corpses, those white residents who did not see the coffin and did not shed tears only understood at this time that the Chinese army that came to attack was by no means a primitive indigenous tribe, but had far more powerful force than the European powers, not to mention the destruction of Darwin City, that is, the destruction of the entire white city of Australia is a matter of minutes, and the only feasible way now is to surrender quickly, and perhaps save one of their lives.
So the residents of Darwin City hurriedly tried to find a way to contact the Huaxia Army, saying that they were going to surrender.
But the Huaxia army didn't care whether they surrendered or not, but seemed to pour endless shells and bombs over them without money, and had a great posture of not destroying Darwin City and not withdrawing troops.
However, all the delegates who tried to go out of the city were either killed by shells or killed by bullets, and Darwin could not send a negotiator to come out and tell the Huaxia army that we were going to surrender.
Surrender to the enemy at the cost of your life!
So the defenders and the residents of the city thought of another way, they wanted to put up a white flag to show surrender, which was a signal of surrender recognized by the whole world, but in the overwhelming smoke and flames, even the sun was blocked, who could see a few white flags?
The method of Shubaiqi's surrender also failed to attract the attention of the Huaxia Army.
The artillery roared incessantly, and people around them were constantly shot and wounded and died, and the Huaxia army did not understand the eagerness of Darwin's surrender, which made the people in Darwin City sad.
Fortunately, when the sun was about to set, the incomprehensible Huaxia Army finally stopped the bombardment.
"Great, we finally have a chance to surrender!" The surviving remnants of the city cheered, forgetting the dead and wounded not far from them, and as for the idea of revenge against the "brutal and savage yellow-skinned monkey", they did not dare to have it in front of the powerful Huaxia army, at least for now.
After stopping the shelling, Jiang Yunfeng was finally discouraged in the face of the white flags erected in the city: "Nima's, I thought that all the white people here were not afraid of death, and my 600 armored cars and small-caliber urban street fighting artillery have not been used." ”
However, if he can take Darwin City without wasting ammunition and strength, Jiang Yunfeng is still willing, after all, he will command a large army to attack the Cape York Peninsula in the next step, and go south to attack Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and other Australia's largest cities, it is still good to save a little effort now.
