Businessmen and soldiers have different understandings of failure. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For businessmen, if they fail, they can start all over again, it is nothing more than trying hard.

And for soldiers, failure often means no chance to do it again, and more often than not, failure also means death.

For example, Tom Spike and Derek Chaplin, they lost this war, which means the end of their military careers, even if they survive secretly, they will not gain people's trust in the future.

This may be more painful for a soldier than death.

Tom Spike and Derek Chaplin can understand their out-of-control behavior when they witness the defeat of the war, but that doesn't change the fact that the Paz Expeditionary Force is already in a desperate situation.

Faced with this situation, Tom Spike and Derek Chaplin did not try to save themselves, but because of the shirking of responsibility, infighting broke out, which shows that there is a reason for their retirement.

At the same time that the submarine forces launched an attack on the "George V" and the "Black Swan," Chen Zhaoqiang commanded the troops to launch a counterattack against the Paz expeditionary force, which had already landed.

In fact, beach rush operations have been a big problem until the 21st century, and the key problem is how to get heavy weapons ashore, and the infantry will eventually be driven off the beach even if they can land without the support of artillery and armored vehicles.

The Port Hedland defense force is also not equipped with too many heavy weapons, there are no tanks or anything at all, there are few armored vehicles, and the artillery is only a French-made 75 miss, and the strength on paper is not very strong.

This "not strong" is relatively speaking, compared to Lanfang's regular field troops, the weapons of the Port Hedland Defense Force are indeed not strong, but compared with the Paz Expeditionary Force that has landed, the weapons and equipment of the Port Hedland Defense Force have been able to form a crushing advantage.

The ground of the pier where the Paz expeditionary force landed has been hardened, which is actually urban warfare, and the armored vehicles shine, which has become a nightmare for the Paz expeditionary force.

The armored car equipped with Port Hedland is also produced by Lanfang, this kind of armored car with a height of 2.2 meters, a length of 4.6 meters, a width of 2.4 meters, and a weight of 2.5 tons is equipped with a 12.7 mm air-cooled heavy machine gun, which can run at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour on the road, and the thickness of the armor can withstand the fire of the 7.7 mm caliber Lewis light machine gun.

For the light infantry, every Humvee was a butcher, and they had no qualms about harvesting the lives of the Paz Expeditionary Force on the docks of Port Hedland, and the Paz Expeditionary Force had nothing to do with the Humvees.

Because of the addition of Humvee armored vehicles, the battle on the pier ended quickly, and the defending forces won a brilliant victory, about 300 of the approximately 2,000 expeditionary force soldiers who had landed on the pier were killed, and the rest lost the will to resist and surrendered.

At this point, the Paz expeditionary force was finally at the end of the road, and could no longer make any waves. The warships of the expeditionary force were threatened by submarines in the outer harbor, and they could not even pass through the narrow channel of the harbor, but could only be captured in the inner harbor. The army units were even more miserable, the two landing operations, the army units had already lost 80 percent of the soldiers, and the remaining soldiers were unable to launch another attack, and the soldiers also refused to attack, they were already frightened by the tragic situation of the soldiers in the first two landings, and no one was willing to send them to death.

At this time, Chen Zhaoqiang made a mistake, Chen Zhaoqiang ordered the telegraph operator to use the radio transmitter to send a telegram to the warships of the Paz expeditionary force to persuade them to surrender, and set a final time for surrender, if the Paz expeditionary force did not surrender by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, then the defense force of Port Hedland would sink all the warships of the expeditionary force, including these transports.

By half past three in the afternoon, there was still no response from the Paz expeditionary fleet, and Chen Zhaoqiang had to order his troops to be ready to attack at any time.

Perhaps Derek Chaplin finally sensed the crisis, and at the last moment when the hour hand was about to turn to four o'clock, the white flag was finally raised on the Paz.

It was only later that Chen Zhaoqiang learned that there was no radio transceiver equipment on the "Pass" at all, so the "Pass" did not receive a telegram from Port Hedland to persuade him to surrender, and the reason why the "Pass" surrendered was completely voluntary.

The British are also considered to be black-hearted, they sold warships including the "Path" to the city of Pass, but did not modernize these warships, and the connection between these warships of the expeditionary force in the city of Paz still depends on the flag and lights, doesn't it say that the customer is God?

What a cheat!

The battle, which took place in Port Hedland, soon reached the Black Swan castle in Paris in the form of a telegram, which caused a certain range of unease, especially Pierre.

Pierre, who knew the relationship between Port Hedland and Lanfang, found Qin Zhiyuan for the first time to understand the situation.

"Are you going to war with the British?" Pierre, who has returned to the army, has hung up the rank of lieutenant general, which makes Pierre's temperament more calm, and now he has a faint momentum.

"Of course not, it's not a chance yet." Qin Zhiyuan is frank and does not deny that there will be a war with the British in the future.

"I really can't understand what's going on in Port Hedland, since you don't want to go to war with the British now? A group of militia defeated the regular army with warships to help, and it was a clean and clean total annihilation, what do you make the British think? What are you going to do if the British intervene? Pierre had a lot of questions, and he threw them out like a cannon.

"Pierre, your right-wing tendencies are evident right now." Foch was a wake-up call to Pierre.

Foch, who answered Paris, seems to have returned to the war-torn world war period, not only put on the marshal's dress again, but also full of passion, and he talks about war at every turn, whether it is the ongoing war launched by the Kolchak coalition government and the northern region of Lanfang against Red Russia in the north, or the Australian Civil War, Foch has to pull Qin Zhiyuan to repeatedly make tactical deductions on the sand table, and take pleasure in defeating Qin Zhiyuan.

There are also left and right wings in France, although the military has no position, but as far as Foch's heart is concerned, Foch has always been the standard ****, and it belongs to the more radical part, so Foch has never had a good face for Pierre, who was afraid of wolves and tigers.

"It's not about the right wing, it's about taking into account more off-field factors." The increase in rank gave Pierre some confidence, at least now in the face of Foch's accusations, Pierre dared to defend himself.

"Thinking too much can make you worry a lot, and you end up with nothing." Foch is indeed radical, Qin Zhiyuan and Foch are more similar in this regard, no wonder the relationship between the two is so good.

"The British will not necessarily intervene-" Qin Zhiyuan interjected before Pierre, stopping Pierre and Foch's unnutritious bickering: "For the British, whether it is Pass or Port Hedland, they are part of the United Kingdom, this is like the two children of their parents, the palms and backs of their hands are meat, and the British are not too biased towards Pass, which will make the British and Port Hedland more and more distant." ”

Qin Zhiyuan has always believed that the British will not be overly involved in the Australian Civil War, and the British are still in the recovery period, and if another war is started, it will definitely be a greater burden for the British, and the British will not necessarily take risks for it.

"The news I have received is diametrically opposed to yours, the British are indeed having a hard time right now, but this hardship has prompted Lloyd George to need a scapegoat to divert the attention of the British, from pessimism about reality to Australia, which is thousands of miles away, so it is very likely that the British will intervene, and the British House of Commons has already begun to discuss this matter, and perhaps there will be news in a few days." Pierre delivers the latest information.

Just as Germany infiltrated France, France also infiltrated England, so the British government could not hide from the French, just as the French could not hide from the French government.

"Even if the British intervene, it's okay, Lan Fang has lost Port Hedland, a source of iron ore, and can still get it from Annam, but if the British intervene in the war in Port Hedland, then Britain will definitely fall into a quagmire in Port Hedland, which will make the British even more painful." Qin Zhiyuan has confidence and confidence.

As far as the mode of warfare is concerned, the current mode of warfare is more of a gong-to-gong-to-drum battle-to-drum on a frontal battlefield, and the terms guerrilla warfare, unrestricted warfare, and so on have not yet appeared.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan is familiar with guerrilla warfare and unrestricted warfare, even if the British intervene in the war in Port Hedland, perhaps with the help of the British's strong ships and artillery, the British can occupy Port Hedland, but that's all, once they reach the inland area where the fleet cannot provide support on land, the British will fall into the encirclement set up by Qin Zhiyuan in advance, and the British will not be able to move an inch at that time.

These tactics all belong to the category of "unrestricted warfare", and Qin Zhiyuan will not explain it to Pierre yet, so Pierre is not optimistic about the side of Port Hedland.

"The quagmire? With all due respect, I don't think that Port Hedland will cause much trouble to the British with those submarines, and in the face of merchant ships, or in the face of those rabble that the city of Paz has put together temporarily, the submarine force may be a weapon of war, but if it is against the British naval force, which was the most powerful in the former world, the submarine force can play a very limited role, as the Germans have proved during the world war. Pierre is also bitter, using the example of the Germans to convince Qin Zhiyuan.

In terms of submarines, the Germans did use tactics well, but they were far from the extreme.

What's more, Qin Zhiyuan didn't plan to compete with the British on the sea at all, so even if the British had the most powerful fleet in the universe, Qin Zhiyuan wouldn't be worried.

"So what? Will their warships still not be able to fly? Qin Zhiyuan is really not afraid, and his words are still relaxed.

Pierre must not understand what Qin Zhiyuan meant, Qin Zhiyuan's subtext is: Why don't you go to heaven?
