The landing battle of the Ming army in Port Hedland made all the guys who were staring at this war feel like a dream.

At this time, they found out that this army is leading the trend of military change just like the model of Paris Fashion Week, and the designer behind them is the head of state Yingtian, it seems that every war, Yang Yuandu will bring people enough freshness, and it seems that every war is a show for him to show the fashion trend in the arms industry.

Of course, it is also a show where he sells arms.

On the second day after the end of the landing battle at Port Hedland, the West German government quickly signed a new round of military cooperation agreement with the Ming Empire, introducing 150 Phantom fighters and lightning medium-range air-to-air missiles in accordance with the original model of combining two-seat wind-chasing fighters and Thunderbolt missiles, followed by the Netherlands and Belgium also joining the ranks of the introduction.

At this time, the Ming army that landed in Port Hedland had increased to eight brigades, and began to divide the troops into two routes, each with an armored brigade as the core to attack the north and south respectively, putting on a posture of going south to seize Perth and going north to attack Darwin Harbor, although attacking these two places from Port Hedland is a bit too far away, but fortunately, there are basically no people on this road, and there will be no military strongholds or anything.

The only town on the south road of the kangaroos is Carnarvon, thousands of kilometers away from Port Hedland, in fact, it is also the decisive battlefield for them to face the Ming army, at this time a whole three divisions have been deployed there, not that they don't want to push the battlefield forward again, the key is that the supply can't keep up. The further north they went, the longer their supply lines became.

Despite the distance between them and Port Hedland. It's enough to get from Paris to Berlin. But in fact, except for a few small pastures along the way, it can basically be said that there is no one to live, three divisions of tens of thousands of troops went north to fight, not to mention food, even the water to drink may not be replenished from the local area, this road is all arid wasteland, even if there are rivers are dry riverbeds, in short, let them cross this distance. No less than a difficult expedition.

In that case, let's let the Ming army go south!

The same is true of the Australian army on the northern front, they are arrayed in the northern part of the Dasha Desert to wait for the Ming army to cross hundreds of kilometers of semi-desertified wasteland.

And yet they were wrong.

"What era is it, and you still use this old brain to treat war!"

Chen Zhendong sat in the warrior army vehicle and said disdainfully, behind him was a long marching convoy, warrior military vehicles, trucks, heavy off-road trailers, infantry fighting vehicles. Anti-aircraft missile vehicles, anti-tank missile vehicles. Rolling forward in the desert with the yellow sand rolling forward, there is not a single tank, this is not far from the coast, you can vaguely see a huge ship is advancing, the tanks of the Ming army are there.

On the salinized beach in front of them, a large number of air-cushion landing craft were speeding away, and on some of the landing craft that had stopped, cooking trucks, drinking water trucks, refueling trucks, and even vehicles providing hot drinks were driving out of it, and a supply station was set up in the desert at great speed, and the Ming troops who had driven more than 100 kilometers stopped to set up defensive positions, and then those soldiers began to get out of the car to eat and rest, and even set up tents to prepare for camping at night.

"Where are we now?"

Chen Zhendong, who walked into a tent, asked his subordinate chief of staff.

"It's two hundred kilometers from the Fitzroy River."

The latter said.

The Fitzroy River is the first line of defense for the kangaroos in the north, from here it is out of the Great Sand Desert, and then north is the Kimberley Plateau, although it is still uninhabited, but it is no longer a desert, but similar to the African savanna terrain, but more undulating.

"What a hellish place this place is! With such a large population in such a large place, it is simply unreasonable to not let us immigrate. ”

Chen Zhenbang said speechlessly, he has been driving seven hundred miles since he left Port Hedland, and the residents he has seen in total have not even gathered ten fingers, which is simply unbelievable for him who grew up in the country of abundance, and he does not know that the total population of Australia at this time is not one-fifth of the population of Sichuan when he left!

"So the Führer is wise, why is such a big place so cheap for so many white people? If you want to say that they are aborigines, this place is originally theirs, so we have nothing to say, but since they are also robbed by outsiders, then don't say that we are not kind. ”

His chief of staff said.

"Commander, the Führer's latest order."

At this time, an officer handed the telegram to Chen Zhendong.

"Well, the goal of our operation this time, here, the O'Dryph River, must be crossed by the O'Dryph River!"

Chen Zhendong looked at the telegram, then pointed to the map and said, he did not know where he poked his finger, it was the famous Argyle diamond mine in later generations, from which 90% of the world's pink diamonds were mined.

At this moment, more than a thousand kilometers away in the dry Minellia River Bed, Brigadier General Edward, commander of the 2nd Armored Division of the Australian Army, was looking at the sky with desperate eyes, surrounded by countless burning tanks, not only the M48, but also the M60 heavy tanks that they regarded as the hope of victory on the land battlefield.

Their enemies are in the sky.

This armored division received a secret report from the white people along the way, and after learning that the Ming army's southward troops were not accompanied by tanks, they took the initiative to go north from Canafon in the hope of intercepting the Ming army, but they did not expect that only a few dozen Eye Snake helicopters would put them in a desperate situation.

In the sky, 36 Cobra helicopters taking off from the amphibious assault ship USS Loyalty were hovering, and the latest Red Arrow II anti-tank missiles were fired one after another from under the short wings on both sides. In the explosion of armor-piercing shells, the red-hot metal jets easily pierced the armor of the M48 and even M60, turning the latter into flaming flares, and the counterattack they encountered was almost insignificant, because the ghosts who cleared them had cleared them of all the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that accompanied the protection of the Australian army with laser-guided bombs.

As for the anti-aircraft machine guns on Australian tanks, this can basically be ignored for helicopter gunships three kilometers away.

"Captain, the missiles are finished, are you changing the Vulcan cannon?"

A series of shouts suddenly rang out over the radio of the captain of the Cobra brigade.

This kind of gunship can only carry eight Red Arrow missiles, thirty-six carry a total of two hundred and eighty-eight, although this missile accuracy is extremely high, but it is impossible to achieve every shot, not to mention that the hit rate in the battle must be a little different from the data on paper, so there are more than 20 tanks left for the kangaroos, but if you really want to fight, these tanks are only a dead end, because the Cobra helicopter also has a three-barreled Vulcan cannon, tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells can easily penetrate the top armor of the M60.

Looking at the fish that slipped through the net below, the Cobra Captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Retreat, leave them to the 3rd Marine Brigade, otherwise they will make trouble for us." ”

After receiving his order, thirty-six Cobra helicopters immediately withdrew from the battlefield and flew back to the amphibious assault ships at sea.

Poor Brigadier General Edward, with tears in his eyes, did not care about the joy of the rest of his life, and gave the order to retreat as fast as he could, God knows when these helicopters will fly back, knowing that their amphibious assault ships are not yet fifty kilometers from here! The remnants of the 2nd Panzer Division, with 10 M60s and 16 M48A3s, as well as a number of armoured vehicles and trucks, hurried south.

But it is a pity that they have just walked less than five kilometers, and they collided head-on with the 3rd Marine Brigade that had just been sent ashore with an air-cushion landing craft on the coast, although this brigade is not an armored brigade, but as a mechanized infantry brigade, it also has a battalion of 52 Leopard tanks.

The Leopard tank in the front, at the moment when the two sides found each other, relied on the advantages brought by the laser rangefinder, analog ballistic computer, and two-way stabilization system, and fired first in the march, and the tail stabilized tungsten core armor-piercing shell fired by the 105 tank gun, with a piercing whistling sound, pierced the air at a speed of more than 1,400 meters per second, and instantly destroyed three-quarters of the Australian tanks that were aiming at them, and in the blink of an eye, Brigadier General Edward was left with six tanks, of which only two M60s.

Fortunately, at this time, the two M60 105 guns also relied on mechanical computers and photographic optical rangefinders to fire before the Ming tanks fired the second round of shells, and the fragile buttresses of the short-rod armor-piercing shells were broken immediately after the rotation was discharged, and the same tungsten alloy bullet core flew straight to the two Leopards, and almost at the same time the Leopard tanks also fired a second round of shells, and all the remaining Australian tanks were destroyed.

And the cannonballs fired by the kangaroos, because of the gap in the fire control and stabilization systems, the final result was a hit.

Fortunately, this one hit finally saved a little face for the American-made weapon, although it was a short-shot bullet, but it still penetrated the front armor of the Leopard tank, after all, the power of the L7 tank gun is still trustworthy.

Well, this tank gun seems to have been authorized by the Ming Dynasty to produce it.

As for the Mi people's own tank guns......

Only two of their M48s fired before they were destroyed, and only one shell hit, this 90 mm sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile unfortunately hit the front of the thickest turret in front of the Leopard tank, the Leopard used by the Ming army has already undergone various improvements, and even the weight has increased to 43 tons, although the anti-105 cannon can't do it, but if it can be hit by the 90 cannon through the thickest part of the armor, it would be too exaggerated. (To be continued.) )
