The fierce kangaroos did not deter from this, after all, they could also fight a bloody battle with the Japanese army in New Guinea, not to mention that they were defending their own territory.

Besides, the Ming army is a 1,500-kilometer cross-sea expedition, they don't believe that these guys can have such a strong supply capacity, bloodletting tactics, and they are not fools, of course they can see it, but the most critical thing about this tactic is logistics, the ammunition consumption of the Ming army, which is accustomed to heavy firepower, has always been known for its madness, and in the absence of port support, how long can the 10,000 Ming army have continuous combat capability?

But the kangaroos are wrong again.

Fifteen hundred kilometers of cross-sea expeditions, what a big deal! On the afternoon of the day when the two sides were fighting, the first batch of 12 Hercules transport planes, loaded with 150 tons of supplies, landed on a field airfield that had been temporarily leveled. This airport is not even paved with perforated steel plates, but only slightly leveled with the accompanying bulldozers and rollers, Australia's semi-desertified sand land is quite hard, and the field take-off and landing performance can be called unparalleled, and Hercules takes off and lands on such land without pressure.

After unloading the supplies, the transport planes took off and returned to Surabaya without any refueling, and less than half an hour later, the second batch of twenty-four Hercules loaded with 300 tons of supplies landed again, then the third, and the fourth......

Before the bell rang in the early morning of the next day, the Ming army had already received 1,500 tons of additional supplies, not counting the air-cushion landing craft and helicopters that were transported for them from the landing ships in the back, in fact, the ammunition reserved by the amphibious assault ships and the dock landing ships themselves was enough for the Ming army to carry out a campaign. After all, one of these two warships has a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons. And the other also reached 16,000 tons. Of course, such a large size could not have been used to transport just a few soldiers and equipment.

As long as there is enough ammunition, then basically the Ming army is invincible, and the result of the poor kangaroos storming for a day is nothing more than more than 3,000 corpses left in front of the Ming army's defense line.

Although they were indeed very brave, such heavy casualties still made the morale of the kangaroos in the next attack obviously a little low.

In order to cheer them up, the Australian Air Force had to send a large number of fighters to the battle again without solving the electromagnetic interference of the Ming army. Even more than a dozen advisers of the United States personally flew into the air, but the result was still no different, if the electromagnetic interference could not be solved, there would be no ground radar guidance, and without ground radar guidance, it would be impossible to detect the approach of ghosts in time, and if it was impossible to detect the approach of ghosts in time, it would be impossible to avoid their medium-range missile attacks beyond visual range.

You can't even see the enemy, how can you fight such an air battle?

During the entire day of continuous air fighting, the kangaroos lost more than 30 fighter jets, including four Mi advisers, who also gave their lives to help them. The only gain is that they know that the F104 is not as reliable as the Sabre. At least the latter's success rate in dodging missile attacks is much higher than that of the F104, and even with the advantage of low-altitude dogfighting, he damaged a ghost in an air battle within visual range.

If it weren't for the fact that their Sidewinder missiles were still bad, they would have been able to get a shot down record, but unfortunately the Sabre was in a good attack position, and it failed to hit the target after shooting all the missiles in one go, but later wounded the enemy with the Asaka cannon.

The battle completely exhausted the courage of the Australian Air Force, and after that they honestly became spectators.

Fortunately, the two divisions stationed in Perth also began to reinforce northward, and this also included an armored division, especially in this armored division, there was also an M60 heavy tank regiment, so the Australian commander in charge of the defense of Port Hedland finally decided to grit his teeth and persevere, by this time, his subordinates had died more than 5,000 in battle alone, and the cruelty and bloodshed of this battle even frightened this veteran who had fought in New Guinea.

However, what frightened him was still to come, because on the third day of the landing of the Ming army, a huge semi-submersible ship came from the port of Surabaya, which was the one that pit the Mi people on St. Maarten Island last time, and like that time, the deck was also full of air-cushion landing craft, but this time there were fewer ones, only four in total, and in addition to that, there were a large number of trucks full of goods on the deck.

The giant ship anchored not far from the coast, and then began to fill the ballast hold with water until the middle deck was almost flush with the sea, and the air-cushion landing craft simply drove down from the ship themselves, just like the air-cushion landing craft carried on the previous landing ship, drove directly to the supply station of the Ming army's landing field, unloaded the cargo, and then returned to the sea with a bunch of empty cars.

While they were doing this, the air-cushion landing craft on the other four landing ships were on semi-submersible boats, and the trucks on deck loaded with cargo drove directly onto the air-cushion landing craft and continued to be transported to shore.

The Australian commander who saw this scene in the distance was dumbfounded, and at this time he suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition.

Soon his hunch was confirmed, because from a distance another large supply ship came, and then drove all the way to the side of the semi-submersible ship, the two ships carefully completed the docking, stretched out the hatch gangplank from the supply ship, and then hoisted the steel truss bridge on the semi-submersible ship with a crane, and the two docked the passage from the supply ship to the semi-submersible ship was completed, and the empty trucks that had already returned to wait drove down the bridge into the supply ship, and when they came out again, they were already loaded with cargo, and then drove the hovercraft back to shore.

The hovercraft waiting next to it then drove on the semi-submersible boat to reload.

This scene made the Australian commander almost spurt out a mouthful of blood, Nima, the two-dimensional supply capacity has also really changed, just this still needs a fart dock, not to mention much, just the supplies on this supply ship, it is no problem to supply those Ming troops and him for a week, with this combination, he estimates that he will not be able to wait for the Ming army to supply ammunition in his lifetime.

"A group of old hats, this is called a sea mobile base, the idea of the Führer himself!"

Chen Zhendong looked at the officers who looked at the freshness with disdain and said.

This is indeed the idea of Yang Yuan, of course, plagiarizing other people's ideas, his main fun in the future, that is, to engage in coastal landing invasion in other people's homes, since this is the case, we must be prepared to provide reliable supplies for the Ming army in the absence of a port, transport aircraft field airlift is one, but this method is too restrictive, can be used as a supplement but can not be used as the main way, and the mobile landing platform ship of the United States people is undoubtedly the best solution.

He had been building those semi-submersible ships in the first place.

The arrival of the mobile base at sea completely solved the problem of supplying 10,000 Ming troops on the shore, and soon after, the troop carriers loaded with the second batch of landing troops also arrived, and they also used the mobile base to start landing, while the large landing ships such as the Loyalty, which originally transported the first batch of landing troops, returned to Surabaya Port to load the next batch of landing troops under the escort of some warships, and in short, the Ming army began to set foot on Australian soil in a steady stream.

At this time, the kangaroos' supplies were a little oversupplied.

Because the Ming warships have begun to blockade the ports of Western Australia.

In fact, there are no other ports in Western Australia, mainly in Port Hedland and Port Fremantle near Perth, the Australian army's supplies can only be transported from Perth to the war zone by car, they have no railway in this area, but this distance is as far as 1,500 kilometers, and they are not roads, before the discovery of iron ore, there are only 100,000 people in the vast land of Western Australia, 90% of which are near Swan Lake with Perth as the center, who will build roads for tens of thousands of pastures scattered in millions of square kilometers of wasteland?

If you have seen the movie Australia, you will know the difficulty of this kind of transportation.

What makes the kangaroos even more sad and angry is that those Chinese miners have completely annihilated their inland army at this time, a total of about two infantry regiments of the Australian army, by a total of 80,000 Chinese militia annihilated, the most speechless thing is that the proportion of casualties on both sides is actually slightly higher than that of the Australian army, the news broadcast by the Western Australian mining industry's own radio, the Australian army was killed 3,000 people, the other about 3,000 people were wounded or captured or surrendered, and the Chinese miners were killed 2,600 people.

After the total annihilation of the inland Australian army, the volunteers composed of the main force of the miners were taking the train to kill, preparing to flank the Australian troops in Port Hedland in front and rear.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Australian army there were all transferred to the battlefield and only one regiment was left to monitor them, they quickly took out a large number of weapons and ammunition hidden in the building materials to complete the armament, and launched an attack on the remaining Australian troops with the support of a cruiser sent to provide them with fire cover and some armed helicopters.

Although the Chinese in Port Hedland did not make a move, the old and weak women and children had begun to hide in the basement, and the young men began to take out their weapons, and it was clear that they would not wait as soon as the opportunity came.

In this case, the Australian army could not hold out, and one of them withdrew south to Minilla, where the Australian army from Perth was about to arrive, and the other was retreating north, where two divisions from Darwin Port were coming south to reinforce them, so that they actually withdrew from the Pilbara area, and the iron ore completely fell into the hands of Yang Feng.

In this way, the kangaroos' original strategic concept has been completely shattered, originally they were ready to defend this area, because Daming industry must rely on this iron mine, it is not a big deal if the time is short, the port has a large number of reserves, and the steel plant will not be cut off for three or five months, but it will definitely not work for a long time, so that they are qualified to negotiate with Yang Feng, after all, the domestic economy is the most important thing for Yang Feng, and then they can bargain in exchange for Yang Feng admitting defeat and withdrawing from the war.

But now this plan is completely bankrupt. (To be continued.) )
