It took less than three days for Donghui's army to break through the strongest and most core defense line of the Malaoqi City Defense Line in Australia, and completed the encirclement of the entire Malaoqi City.

This result not only surprised the commanders of the German Volunteers and the Japanese Volunteers at all levels who carried out the task of attacking the fortified positions, but even Lieutenant General Bill Simpson, commander-in-chief of the Australian Army's "Simpson" Army stationed in Malaoqi, was completely stunned.

The Simpsons Army, known as the Third Army of the Australian Army, has seven infantry divisions and two armored divisions, with a total of 100,000 troops, defending a 200-kilometer-long defensive line from Malaoch to Lake Gabgabu in the east of the 141st parallel. The middle and high-ranking commanders of the whole army are basically veterans who participated in the First World War, and they are good at sports attacks and defensive operations.

As the lieutenant general of the Third Army, Bill Simpson always believed that even if he could not defeat Donghui's army, with the defense of the city of Marauch and the defense line on the east bank of the Malaoqi River, he could hold out for more than half a year.

However, Simpson could never have imagined that in three days, just less than three days, the strongest section of the entire Ma Laoqi defense line could basically be said to be lost.

As one of the three most important support points of the "Malaoqi Defense Line", once the Malaoqi city fortification group and the riverbank fortification group are breached, the armored units of the Donghui National Defense Army can drive straight into the city and intersperse with detours. The entire Marlauch defense line will be self-defeating by then.

Among all the people in the former enemy command on Changxing Island, only King Cheng seemed to be confident, and it seemed that he had expected this for a long time.

Special combat engineering vehicles, plus the T34/85 tank group with a climbing ability of 40 degrees to open the way, air supremacy and sea supremacy are in the hands of the Donghui Wehrmacht, all the artillery positions of the enemy Simpsons Army are all muted, Guderian, who holds four heavily mechanized divisions, and the fire support of the air force and navy inland ships, if you can't tear a gap and open the advance channel of the follow-up troops, then it is better to quickly find a piece of tofu and crash to death.

Of course, in Cheng Gong's original projection, the time given to Guderian was five days. Now it has broken through in less than three days, which is enough to prove that the armored cluster consisting of T34/85 tanks, Type 63 amphibious tanks and Type 63 tracked armored personnel carriers has shown its full combat effectiveness under the command of Guderian.

At the same time that the ground forces of Donghui tore through the "Malaochi Line," the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the East Japan and German joint navy have firmly controlled the sea supremacy in the four sea areas of the Bismarck Sea, the Coral Sea, the Solomon Sea, and the Arafura Sea.

This means that the Australian army on the island of Australian New Guinea has become a lone army that no longer has any foreign aid.

As long as Cheng Gong is willing, the Donghui Defense Force can rush to land on the Australian island of Papua New Guinea and anywhere on the Australian mainland.

However, considering that the United Kingdom, France and the United States have not clearly stated their positions so far, Cheng Gong feels that it is more reliable to play steady. As long as the living forces deployed by the Australian Army on the island of Papua New Guinea are eliminated, Australia itself will naturally be a beautiful woman who has stripped off her clothes and pants, and she can do whatever she wants.

Before the start of the war, in accordance with Cheng Gong's requirements, the Pentagon planned to use a rapid corps and a powerful air force to carry out a surprise attack, lightning destroy the Australian army's Malaoqi defense line, occupy the southern plains of Papua New Guinea, and then drive straight into the New Guinea Peninsula to encircle and annihilate all isolated Australian troops, and strive to end the war within a month. Then return to the division to reinforce the province of Dingnan on the Western Front, which may be attacked by the Anglo-French-Dutch forces.

To this end, the Donghui National Defense Force mobilized and reorganized 62 divisions, 1.6 million people, 300 warships, 2,800 tanks, 4,800 aircraft, 6,000 artillery pieces and mortars, and formed two army groups on the South Road and the North Road.

This plan of the Pentagon was completely formulated on the basis of Cheng Gong's proposal to prevent the German and Japanese volunteers from rebelling on the battlefield. It fully shows Donghui's determination to fight a patriotic war with the allied forces of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia, and Italy.

In fact, it was precisely because of Donghui's determination to prepare for the Great Patriotic War that Germany and Japan finally chose to safeguard the interests of the Axis Alliance, which also led to the conspiracy of the British, French, and American governments to form an eight-nation alliance to carve up Donghui was strangled in the cradle.

The South Route Army Group was commanded by Donghui Army General Sun Liren, and had under its jurisdiction Lieutenant General Qiu Qingquan's First Group Army, Lieutenant General Liao Yaoxiang's Third Group Army, and Army Lieutenant General Hu Lian's Fifth Group Army, with a total of eight infantry corps and four armored corps. Its mission was to first annihilate the Australian military group in the Marauch area, and then drive long southeast to Port Moresby;

The North Route Army Group was commanded by Army General Du Yuming, and had under the command of Lieutenant General Zhang Lingfu's Seventh Army and Lieutenant General Dai Anlan's Ninth Army, with a total of five infantry corps and one armored corps. Its mission is to land on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea, completely encircle and annihilate the Australian military group here with the cooperation of the navy, and then move south along the central mountain system to attack the Australian troops stationed in Port Moresby from the flank, forming an encirclement of Port Moresby.

The premise of the landing operation carried out by the Army Group of the North Route was that the Army Group of the South Route broke through the Malaoqi defense line and forced the commander-in-chief of the Australian Army to draw reinforcements from the Northern Front in order to reduce the pressure on the beach-rushing landing battle.

At present, the first campaign intention of the South Route Army Group has been successfully realized, and the four heavy tank divisions of the German and Japanese Volunteers are still acting as the vanguard of the whole army, continuing to maintain a diamond-shaped attack cluster formation, and launching an attack on all campaign targets on the southern plains of Papua New Guinea.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of June 13, the British government suddenly sent a diplomatic note to Donghui, demanding that Donghui provide a guarantee of an armistice before five o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise, Britain would formally declare war on Donghui.

Five minutes later, the French government also sent a diplomatic note to Donghui, asking Donghui to provide a truce guarantee before 5 p.m., otherwise, France would officially declare war on Donghui.

At 2:10 a.m., Cheng Gong made a public statement at the Changxing Island Air Base: If you want to fight, I will fight! I am Cheng Gong, the king of Donghui, and I order all the Donghui troops participating in the battle on the front line to advance according to the set goals!

No one expected Cheng Gong to react so quickly, and it was an unexpected declaration of war. This is too disrespectful of the British Empire and the French Third Republic!

Naturally, the encyclical issued by Britain and France against Donghui did not have the slightest impact on the Donghui army participating in the war on the front line.

However, the morale of the Australian army, which had already fallen to its lowest point, gradually began to recover.

In the afternoon of the same day, Prime Minister Lines of the Australian Federal Government held a press conference in Canberra, calling on the federal military and civilians to unite and resist the Donghui invaders.

Lines made it clear that from now on, Australia must be attached to the British led Allied camp, and the British Empire will be the eternal suzerainty of the Australian Federation. Without the protection of the British Empire, Australia would inevitably face a war that could be imposed on Australia at any time by the Donghui invaders.

Therefore, only by rallying closely around the British Empire, with the Queen of England at its core, can we keep Australia from falling into the hands of an adversary. We will do our best to reconstruct an Australian strategy led by the British Empire.
