Moreton Bay, a small shallow bay in Australia bordering the Pacific Ocean to the east. Recessed into the southeast coast of Queensland, Australia. It is surrounded by Bribe Island to the north, Moreton Island to the east, and Sturbroke Island to the south. It is 105 km long and 32 km wide. Accepts the Brisbourne River as the gateway to the Port of Blisburne. The main channel is between Braiby and Moreton, and is one of the main bases of the Australian Navy.

After the Tang army captured the Lotia Islands, it turned its sword on Australia and New Zealand. The New Zealand Navy only had a few old destroyers and offshore gunboats that the British Navy had eliminated after World War I, and only the Australian Navy was relatively strong, and the Tang Army attacked Australia first to destroy the Royal Australian Navy.

The Royal Australian Navy Liliang was also not strong, and the main battleships consisted of one battleship, one battlecruiser, one battlecruiser, Melbourne, two light cruisers, Sydney, Darwin, and eight minesweepers.

The Tang Army was concerned that the main force of the British Royal Navy's Singapore Fleet had rushed to Australia after the declaration of war between Britain and Tang and joined the Australian Navy fleet. The British Navy brought the battleship Prince of Wales and the battlecruiser Counterattack, as well as three heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and seven destroyers, which caused a surge in the number of warships in the Brisbane Naval Base, which brought a huge obstacle and threat to the Tang Army's attack on Australia.

However, fortunately, Britain and Australia are only relatively strong in the navy, and the air force is much weaker than the Tang army, and the total strength of the army is not much, which is basically similar to the strength of the Tang Army, but the equipment and combat effectiveness are much worse.

Australia has one of the few air forces, Liliang, with about 36 Thunderbolt fighters. Britain transferred another 36 Sea Spitfire fighters from the Singapore Air Force Base and deployed them at Canberra Airport, the capital of Australia, to surround the capital. These 72 aircraft range from the Australian Air Force's Thunderbolt fighters to the British Air Force's Sea Spitfire. The difference between the Raptor fighter and the Raptor fighter used by the Tang Army is that the protection level of the lite version is very low, and the advanced avionics system of the Tang Army will naturally not be exported, and the advanced turboprop aero engine has also been replaced by the traditional star-shaped air-cooled piston aero engine in Europe, and the overall performance is a grade worse than the Raptor fighter in service in the Tang Army.

However, this air force Liliang is still not to be underestimated, and before the Tang Army launched a full-scale landing operation, the Tang Air Force dispatched 200 Raptor fighters to escort it. An air strike formation consisting of 300 Thunder medium-range heavy bombers was launched on the night of the 28th, eight hours after Australia declared war on Tang. Surprise air strikes on Canberra Air Base.

Although the Australian government has issued a comprehensive order to prepare for war against the Tang Dynasty, the Australian air force unit at the Canberra airport is still half a beat slower, and because it was a Sunday, most of the base personnel were on vacation. Failure to move or hide fighters and related facilities in a timely manner as ordered. As a result, it was indiscriminately bombed by the Tang Army's bomber group that night.

It was a sad night for Australians, since the establishment of the Australian government has not suffered the baptism of war, despite the war between Australia and Tang, but Canberra is still a lot of laughter, the night is not even wartime control to turn off the lights, when the Tang bomber group is in the air, there is no need to release flares to assist, you can directly find the location of Canberra Air Base.

Aerial bombs fell one after another. The entire Canberra Air Base was suddenly in flames, and 72 Australian fighters were destroyed on the ground for the first time. This was followed by the bombing of key military facilities such as airport runways, fighter maintenance rooms, pilots' quarters, ammunition depots, and fuel depots.

When the thunder roared and the whole land of Canberra shook, the Australians finally woke up, and they looked at the Canberra airport in the distance, where the flames were blazing.

That's war!

Cruel and ruthless, sheep-hearted humans cannot survive.

The air raid sirens over Canberra were ten minutes late, and of course this siren sounded for the first time, not only did the Australian military personnel in charge of pulling the alarm find a way to activate it for a long time, but the citizens of Canberra heard it for the first time, they didn't know that it was an air raid siren, but they could guess that it was sounding an alarm to them.

The Tang army was very cautious this time, because Australia is the energy and material supply base of the Tang Empire, and the Tang army must not attack civilians and their living facilities unless it is absolutely necessary, because the Tang Empire wants to completely annex Australia, and the Australians cannot be allowed to hate the Tang people and rebel everywhere to resist the occupation of the Tang army.

The next morning, the Australian prime minister rushed to the Canberra Air Base, and when he listened to the war damage report, he immediately cried and mourned, and all 72 combat planes in Australia that could fight against the Tang Army were destroyed, so the air supremacy over Australia would completely fall into the hands of the Tang Army.

"Inform the naval command to strengthen vigilance, the Tang army first blew up our airfield and destroyed our planes, and their next step may be to attack the warships in our naval base."

As soon as the Australian Prime Minister finished speaking, a Ministry of Defense official ran towards him sweating profusely, and his heart suddenly became tangled, realizing that something terrible must have happened.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am very sorry to tell you that just an hour ago, the port of Brisbane, where our naval fleet is stationed, was bombed by a large number of planes of the Tang Army, and now it has lost contact, and I don't know what the situation is."

After hearing the news, the Australian Prime Minister's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, wow, cool, wow.

At the same time that the Tang Army dispatched bombers to attack the Canberra Air Base, dozens of warships of the Tang Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, led by the aircraft carrier Chiyou, had quietly sailed to Moreton Bay, where Brisbane was located. Because the Tang Army Command believed that after the air raid on the Canberra Air Base, the Australian and British forces would definitely be vigilant, so they temporarily decided to go to the Brisbane Air Base overnight.

At dawn, the Don Army's bomber group flew over Moreton Bay, and the warships moored in the Brisbane Naval Base were clearly visible. More than 300 Tang Army Thunder Dragon bombers quickly dropped one aerial bomb after another, sinking or seriously damaging enemy ships anchored in Jiangjun Harbor.

Since it was already dawn and the Australian and British troops had already gotten up, they were able to organize themselves into battle quickly. Unlike Canberra Air Base, Brisbane Naval Base has strong air defenses, and a number of Don Army bombers were shot down and exploded, and then crashed into the sea.

When the enemy ships urgently started to leave the dock, one aerial bomb after another fell into the sea, stirring up huge water columns hundreds of meters high, and the hit rate was greatly reduced, but it could also cause considerable chaos to the enemy fleet.

Half an hour later, the Tang Army's Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group rushed to the outside of Moreton Bay and quickly took off 90 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers from the Chiyou aircraft carrier, and from other escort aircraft carriers, the total number of Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers reached more than 200, so that the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group had more than 300 Hellfire carrier-based bombers taking off at the same time.

The reason why all of them are carrier-based bombers and no carrier-based fighters is because the Tang Army has destroyed Australia's air resistance, so the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group will be so bold to replace all of them with bombers, the purpose of which is to destroy the Australian fleet in Brisbane to the greatest extent.

When more than 300 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers of the Tang Army flew over the Brisbane Naval Base, both the British and Australian troops were afraid, and when a sharp whistling sound sounded, as if it were soul-stirring, the hands of the soldiers fighting against the air were trembling, and one after another the Tang Army's Hellfire bombers swooped down and dropped one aerial bomb after another, almost without missing a shot, and each bomb directly hit a battleship

These are all skills that Tang Jun has been training hard and practicing in actual combat over the past eight years, and he has rich experience. When one aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms exploded on the battleship, the entire battleship trembled violently.

The battleships Australia and the Prince of Wales, the battlecruisers Melbourne and Counterattack were hit by bullets and caught fire, the light cruisers Sydney and Darwin were instantly blown to pieces after being hit by an aerial bomb, and other small warships such as minesweepers and destroyers were all in one fate, and basically a 500-kilogram aerial bomb was enough to blow them to pieces.

In just the first attack, most of the ships of the Australian fleet were sunk. Not long after, both the battleship Australia and the battlecruiser Melbourne were hit by an aviation torpedo and sank in three minutes.

When the second round of bombardment was over, the battleship Prince of Wales and the battleship Counterattack were also sunk, and there was not a single battleship left in the entire Brisbane Naval Base.

At noon on the same day, the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Tang Army sailed into Moreton Bay, and more than a dozen light cruisers and destroyers shelled the Brisbane Naval Base.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Tang Army sent two landing ships carrying the strength of an armored marine battalion to land in the port of Brisbane, and the British troops had already fled, and after firing a few symbolic shots at the more than 2,000 Australian troops left behind, they immediately surrendered when they saw that the armored forces of the Tang Army could not be destroyed and defeated at all.

After the Australian Prime Minister in Canberra learned the news of the loss of Brisbane and the annihilation of the fleet, he immediately held a meeting, and without the Navy and Air Force, the main battle faction suddenly became much weaker, and the originally evenly matched main and faction regained the initiative this time, and they once again put forward a proposal to merge with Datang and won a majority of votes.

Subsequently, the Australian Prime Minister sent a note to the Tang Empire again, requesting peace talks. (To be continued......)
