"Immediately report to General Guderian that our vanguard company has successfully conquered the Bupul Mountains, the enemy anti-tank regiment has been routed head-on by our company, and our company has now taken control of the headquarters of the 4th anti-tank regiment of the enemy's 2nd Division!"

In this attack on the town of Maroch, the 1st Division of the German SS simply snatched this hard bone from the Japanese Janissary Guards. In order to prove to everyone that although the joint infantry regiment of the German and Japanese volunteers lost to the Navy SEALs of the Donghui Navy in the exercise confrontation, we are armored troops! Not ordinary infantry! Our forte is to drive a tank to break through all enemy lines from the front!

The anti-tank regiment of the Australian army stationed in this area was carefully deployed for the Type 63 amphibious tank manufactured by Donghui. It's a pity that the Type 63 amphibious tank was not the main equipment of the 1st SS Division, and the T34/85 was the main attacker of the Axis against the Allied tank forces.

According to the Australian army's defensive battle plan, it is only necessary to destroy a certain number of Donghui tanks on the road, which will inevitably delay the offensive rhythm of Donghui's heavily armored mechanized troops.

Before the advent of the T34 tank, the 37 anti-aircraft gun and the 57 anti-aircraft gun were the most widely used anti-tank weapons used by the armies of various countries for flat-firing tanks.

In World War I, as a member of the Entente, the Australian Army performed quite well, and had the honorary title of "Fierce Kangaroo".

The German Wehrmacht High Command once analyzed and compared the Australian army with the Polish army and concluded that the Australian army was much stronger than the Polish army.

With the strong assistance of Britain, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Canada and other countries, the strength of Australia's navy, land and air force was repeatedly overturned by the German Wehrmacht High Command.

Although it is said that the Donghui Air Force can only parry the Australian army as soon as it strikes, the Donghui Navy has a huge establishment of nearly 1.3 million tons of total tonnage, which shocked the French Navy's fleet to aid Australia and fled without a fight. However, in the face of the Australian side's solid "Ma Laoqi defensive line", whether it can break through from the front, Guderian is actually not too sure in his heart.

This battle was not so much the debut of the ground forces of the Donghui Wehrmacht on the battlefield, but rather an assessment of the German Army's new SS heavy division.

Tactics are often constantly changing with the development of weapons and equipment technology.

But no matter how it changes, it ultimately needs to be implemented in the execution of tactics, that is, the human factor!

There's nothing wrong with the Australian kangaroos' defensive battle plan against tanks. If there is really a mistake, the only thing is to blame King Cheng for not taking out the "monster" of T34/85 and handing it over to the German armored forces to use.

The 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the German SS, which was the main attack in this operation, really showed its face this time. Under the personal leadership of the regiment commander, Colonel Balk, with an unstoppable momentum, not only successively opened through the two treacherous defensive lines arranged by the Australian anti-tank regiment, but also defeated and occupied the headquarters of the fourth anti-tank regiment of the enemy's second division, opening a channel for the follow-up troops.

Changxing Island, in the former enemy headquarters of the First Group Army of the Donghui National Defense Army.

After receiving the good news from the 1st Regiment of the 1st SS Division, which was the attack arrow of the whole army, Guderian laughed loudly for the first time since the beginning of the war: "Good! Well played! This is the majesty of the German Army's armored forces! ”

Cheng Gong, who was half-lying on the sofa and dozing off at this time, couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard Guderian's laughter, and reached out to rub his slightly sour cheeks.

In order to prevent any changes in the German and Japanese volunteers, which were the main forces to conquer the Australian army's "Malaoqi Line," Cheng Gong did not hesitate to personally sit on Changxing Island. In the event of a battlefield backlash, Cheng Gong promised to let the Germans and the Japanese know what the natural enemies of the tank armored forces were!

Looking at the sleepy eyes of Donghui, the young King Majesty, the smile on Guderian's face couldn't help but stiffen, and then he asked unwillingly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know the battle situation on the front line at all?" ”

"With you, the commander of the German Panzer Corps, commanding these four Panzer Divisions to attack the Maroch Line, victory is only a matter of time."

Cheng Gong pouted disapprovingly and said: "This king specially equipped you with T34/85 tanks, Type 63 amphibious tanks, Type 63 armored personnel carriers, and rocket demining vehicles, military special bulldozers, excavators, and road rollers. ”

Guderian rolled his eyes very depressedly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Australian kangaroo is known as the 'Marold Defense', and we will definitely not be able to take it for half a year." In less than four hours, we approached the banks of the Malaoch River, completed the encirclement of the area on the west bank of the Malaoqi River, and cut off the reinforcements of the enemy's 'Simpson's Army' on the east bank. ”

"In the eyes of this king, the defeat of the whole of Australia is a victory." Cheng Gong squinted his eyes slightly and said leisurely: "We are a three-nation alliance, the army, navy and air force are all matched, advanced weapons and equipment, sufficient ammunition, and smooth logistics and supply, if we can't end this war within a month, we should all sit down and seriously review." ”

Guderian's face gradually became serious.

The young king of Donghui in front of him was right, with so many advantages, under the premise of mastering absolute air and sea supremacy, against the Australian army, which had lost the support of the British and French volunteers, victory should be inevitable, and there is really nothing to show off.

The ultimate reason why the German SS armored units came to Donghui to participate in the war against Australia was to test the actual combat effectiveness of the newly formed SS armored divisions. At the same time, it is also to verify whether the new tactic of armored cluster blitzkrieg can be implemented on the real battlefield.

It seems that more attention should be paid to discovering the various problems that have arisen in actual combat, rather than being complacent because of victories.

His Majesty Cheng Gong, King of Donghui, once said that whether it is tactics, battles and strategies, details determine success or failure!

It is necessary to master all the details and statistics of this war! Prepare for the "White Plan" formulated by the High Command for Poland and provide the most realistic and perfect first-hand combat technical parameters.

The third line of defense built by the Australian army on the east bank of the Malaoqi River should have been the most difficult natural danger to gnaw. However, under the attack of the gunboats of the Donghui Air Force and the Navy's River Fleet, the original superiority of the Australian army was lost. In particular, in the face of the Type 63 amphibious tank, a "monster" that can directly cross the river to attack, the officers and men of the Australian defenders on the east bank were completely crushed at the touch of a button.

Under the coordinated operation of the Donghui Air Force and Navy, Guderian led his troops to quickly break through the forward position of the Australian Malaoch Line, crossed the Malaoqi River in the early morning of 11 June, advanced to a position less than 10 kilometers away from the 141st parallel on 13 June and quickly deployed, and completed the encirclement of the Australian "Simpson" Group Army deployed along the Malaoch River.
