The war in Australia was not going well, and the Japanese army repeatedly changed generals, and at this time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army to conquer Australia was General Itagaki Seishiro,

In 1931, he and Ishihara Waner jointly planned the "918" incident, challenged the 200,000 Northeast Army with 10,000 people, defeated more than 30 divisions with half a division in 1937, captured Shanxi, served as Minister of War in June 1938, advocated the Triple Alliance, and in September 1939, he served as the chief of staff of the China Dispatch Army, presided over the work of luring and surrendering to China, and served as the supreme military counselor in 1943.

His deputy is his old acquaintance Ishihara Waner, this guy instigated 918 with him, occupied the northeast,

After the weapons purchased from China arrived, the two played with assault rifles and rocket artillery.

Looking at Chinese weapons, the two couldn't help but admire in frustration, three years ago China couldn't even make rifles, but only two years later, China's weapons are so good, and most of Japan's weapons are designed and stereotyped more than ten years ago, or even decades ago.

China not only sold weapons to them this time, but also filmed more than 300 non-commissioned officers to teach them to use these weapons, and the ** team fired a few rounds of those rocket artillery, and all the Japanese were dumbfounded, although this matter of the nine-barrel rocket launcher is not China's most advanced twelve-barrel rocket artillery, but it is enough to open the eyes of the Japanese army who holds grenadiers and Type 92 infantry guns every day.

They believe that the weapons of the Americans on the opposite side are nothing more than that, and the striking surface of the rocket artillery is faceted rather than point-shaped like other artillery, and very few can survive under the blow of the rocket artillery, and if they can't blow up, they will be shocked to death, because they have captured a lot of natives and dug the best fortifications to test.

With the quality of Japanese soldiers, coupled with the guidance of Chinese instructors, the Japanese quickly learned to use these weapons, but for most Japanese their favorite is the dragon assault rifle, which has strong firepower, can shoot continuously, and can also be fired.

At present, the situation in Australia is that the United States controls the most abundant areas of water and grass in the United States, including the east of the two banks of the Darling River, and the big cities in the United States are here, and Japan has seized only the vast desert areas in the central and western regions.

The Japanese were ready to become benevolent if they did not succeed, so they moved a large number of military industrial enterprises to Australia, which could directly replenish the Australian army, which not only eliminated various problems such as transportation, but also saved a lot of expenses and the danger of being sunk by US submarines.

On October 27, the Japanese army once again began to attack the US troops stationed on the west side of the Darling River, at this time the US troops defended in the city of Broken Hill and Port Peary and the port of Augusta north of Port Peree, the US army has 100,000 people on this line, there are more than 200,000 US troops in the whole Australia, and there are 150,000 Australian troops, plus the support of the United States' powerful naval air force, and industrial forces, Japan can be said to be unable to advance an inch in the previous two and within, if it is not for the United States does not want to defend the desert, plus the Soviet Union is in danger, solving Germany is the key, Japan has long been counterattacked into the sea,

And Japan has 800,000 troops in the whole of Australia, and the daily food consumption is an incredible number, there is no way that there are deserts and wastelands everywhere, there is no population, and there is no land to collect grain, and some Japan has to do the work of tuntian, so the Japanese army is still very bitter in Australia.

However, the more than 300 people in China were not polite, they ate and drank spicy food every day, and they originally taught the devils to leave, but they said that they would watch the Japanese beat US imperialism with these weapons once before leaving, of course, the reason was that they were worried that the Japanese would not be able to use these weapons well.

Itagaki Seishiro thought about it and thought it was okay, just let the person who knew the most about using these weapons lead a fight, and at the same time he also wanted to see the real level of the Chinese fighting now,

The plan for this operation was relatively simple, that is, to use the 100,000 Japanese troops equipped with Chinese-style weapons to attack the American army, and the officers sent by China were used as staff officers.

On the night of the 27th, it was already dark, and the trucks with large engines transported rocket launchers, 155-mm howitzers, and cannons to the positions dug during the day on the front line.

The positions of the Americans have not changed for thousands of years, except for regular reinforcement,

The quality of the Japanese army is indeed not covered, it is indeed different after nine years of compulsory education, they are very good in tactical coordination, of course, there are Chinese in them naturally also play twelve points of your spirit, so as not to be underestimated by the Chinese,

At one o'clock in the evening, all the artillery was in place, and the attacking troops were also ready,

At half past one, with the order of Seishiro Itagaki, the rocket artillery of two divisions and two heavy artillery divisions woke up to a fierce bombardment of the positions of the American troops.

China's artillery is indeed not comparable to Japanese artillery, and the distance of the strike is much farther than that of Japan, and many U.S. troops, materials and artillery positions that were originally outside the firing range were immediately covered by artillery fire, and the U.S. military did not have any counterattack ability in the artillery fire because of carelessness.

Seishiro Itagaki looked at the flames in the distance in the dark night, watching the rapid reduction of shells, the pain in his heart, according to such consumption, Japan went bankrupt in a few clicks,

Twenty minutes after the shelling, there were three tank divisions composed of tanks purchased from China, plus tanks produced by Japan itself, followed by a large number of infantry and slaughtered the American positions.

And part of the artillery continued to bombard, and part of it moved forward,

Under the fierce artillery fire, the United States and Australia suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army easily captured the American position, which they fought for a month and did not take down, they did not know how many people died, and they did not expect to take it in a few days.

And the war is still going on, and the armored forces must take advantage of the fact that the US army is still in a period of chaos to quickly drag in and seize more positions.

In the past two or three months, every time they watched the Japanese army rushing up with a 38 cover to send them to death, they smiled contemptuously every time, and the artillery battle could not defeat the American army, not to mention that every time they were pressed by the American planes and couldn't raise their heads, they didn't expect that the other side's artillery fire was so fierce today.

Especially the Australian army, they are also farmers who have just put down their hoes, and it is okay to follow the Americans to fight a good fight, but once they suffer such a huge blow, they will collapse, at this time there are strange cries of the Japanese wah-wh-wh, and those who listen to it are cautious and panicked,

The rout of the Australian army has affected the US military, and if you can't fight and escape in the West, you won't suffer from white eyes, and you won't surrender, and they have a lot of rhetoric in this dark night, of course, they really don't know what the situation is.

After the communications squad called the bomber by phone, they also retreated.

The American bombers arrived soon after receiving the news, but they couldn't tell who was who in the dark night, so they could only drop the bombs on the rear of the Japanese army.

It wasn't until near dawn that the U.S. troops organized a rout and gradually stabilized their positions, and the Japanese also turned to building trenches after the failed attack on Duolun.

In this battle, Japan captured Broken Hill, Port Augusta and Port Peere, and at the same time captured more than 20,000 American and Australian troops, and killed more than 10,000 American and Australian troops.

Looking at the brilliant results, those huge consumption of weapons and ammunition were directly ignored by Itagaki Seishiro, he felt for the first time that in fact, it was worth it to consume more, no wonder the Chinese were so weak in the country, and the industrial base was not established when Dali developed heavy industry and developed so many weapons, it was actually cost-effective to equip these large-consumption weapons,

Itagaki Seishiro also finally knew why the squadron was so powerful in the Sino-Soviet War, it is said that no less than two million Soviet troops were eliminated, what kind of concept is that, the Japanese army has been fighting in China for five years, and with superior equipment, it only killed more than two million squadrons, and the squadron equipped with these weapons to eliminate so many Soviet troops in half a year, what kind of combat effectiveness is that,

What kind of combat effectiveness the Soviet army was, the Japanese understood that before the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese army launched a war against the Soviet Union specifically on the choice of the strategy of southward and northward expansion, of course, because the army supported the north, and the navy supported the south,

If you go north, the main force of the war will be the army, and once the benefits are obtained, the credit will also belong to the army, and at the same time, Japan's resources will also be tilted towards the army.

If it is to the south, needless to say, the benefits will naturally be for the navy, and Japan's resources will naturally be limited for the navy.

The dispute between the Japanese Navy and the Army began in the Meiji period, and no one obeyed anyone, so the Japanese Army wanted to use the victory of the war against the Soviet Union to prove that their strategy of advancing north was right, but unfortunately they were completely blown up by the Soviet Army, so the Japanese Army has a shadow on the Soviet Army to this day.

But it is really incredible that the troops have been beaten by the squadron in this way.

What is the combat effectiveness of the squadron, Seishiro Itagaki has the most right to speak,

In 1937, Seishiro Itagaki himself commanded a division of 20,000 people to attack more than 200,000 people in Xinkou's squadron, and the squadron did not dare to attack him, and finally killed and wounded more than 100,000 people under his attack.

Itagaki Seishiro's head is a little confused, the Soviet army that used to beat itself is now beaten by the squadron ** team that he beat the chaos, he doesn't think that the Chinese are so powerful, after all, he despises the Chinese for decades, so he thinks that in addition to Germany annihilating the elite of the Soviet army, a large number of Soviet troops were pinned down in Europe, and those who remained in Asia were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest of the reason was that the weapons and equipment of the squadron ** were too good,

The Americans are amazing, they are not still falling under the blow of such a weapon,
