Chapter 444: The Battle of Sydney

(40 points)

"Handle..."

Hearing this from the nearby Japanese commander, one of the leading party pricked up his ears.

However, after saying this, the commander didn't say anything else, and the party that led the way here was also busy with work, so although he was a little curious, in the end, the party who led the way continued to be busy with his own work.

Dispose...

I believe that many people know very well about the so-called treatment, or this can be regarded as a tradition of the Japanese army.

In fact, as early as the time of the Nanyang Raiders, the Japanese army had already begun to "deal with" such things.

And because this era is not completely Caucasian like later generations, the Japanese are more "presumptuous", anyway, like in Vietnam, like in Malaysia and Indonesia, as long as they are imprisoned in concentration camps, they basically don't want to get out alive.

As for the white women?

If you're lucky, you might even be able to become a Commander-level exclusive, but if you're unlucky...

It's probably the same as the ones collected from China and locally, and because of the color of their skin, the fate of these white women is even more miserable, after all, is it rare to be expensive...

Contrary to what later generations thought, most of the women recruited by the Japanese army in World War II and those who were forced to provide sexual services for the Japanese army came from Asia, such as China, Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyus, and Southeast Asia, but there were also many white women among them.

Ion? Lufa? Helen Warren was the first white woman to publicly acknowledge her experience, and that was in 1996, 50 years after the end of World War II.

In the 30s of the last century, the island of Java was a Dutch colony. Ion at the time? Lufa? Helen Warren lived there, and her family belonged to the local high society, a rich lady, fashionably dressed, a housekeeper, and, of course, a maid who grew up playing with her childhood.

In 1942, when he was 17 years old, the yellow-faced Japanese army occupied the island of Java. She was held in a concentration camp in Ambarawa along with her mother, two sisters, and thousands of other women and children. Because according to the claims of the Japanese military department, they belonged to the Western colonizers and should be overthrown.

Two years later, at the age of 19, Ion, along with nine other beautiful Caucasian women (all virgins), was forcibly taken to the Japanese army's military camp ―――――― shelter and lost contact with her family. The Japanese called it "Nanamiya", and there she became a Japanese soldier, ravaged, beaten and all sorts of things.

At the shelter, Ion and the other girls are screened for one-time illnesses every week. When the doctor came, the windows and doors of the room were left open so that the Japanese soldiers could see which part of them was being examined. Once, when the doctor examined Ion, Ion said, "Look, I want you to know that we didn't want to be here. Please use your connections to report to the highest levels what is happening here, we are forced to do so. The doctor laughed, and after examining her, he gave her another look. Since then, she has been examined every time the doctor has done it.

Ion asked for the other names she was with, and asked them to sign their handkerchiefs. This handkerchief has survived to this day and is a piece of evidence. After spending three and a half months in a hellish asylum, Ion was later transferred to another general asylum. There are more than 100 other Dutch girls in the same situation as her.

"When I returned from the shelter, I told my mother what I had been through. My mother, who was crying in her arms in despair, told me not to say these things to anyone. I promised to do the same. ”

After the war, the British army was responsible for protecting their camps from local terrorists. The camp where Ion lived also had a priest. Ion confessed to the priest and told him that he wanted to be a nun very much, but the priest refused her request. ..., it can be seen that it was not only yellow women who suffered misery at that time, but also white women...

In this era, with the absence of China, the largest source of origin, Japan naturally had to be supplemented from other places. So in history, there may be some women who can escape such a fate, but there is no one in this world who can escape...

In addition to the white women, the captive white men were also engaged in some dangerous labor, such as the resources used to exchange equipment and supplies with the national government, and a small part of it was provided by the labor of these white men―――――― after all the population base was small.

However, because these whites were more rebellious, at least stronger than the local Southeast Asian natives, the mortality rate of these white captives was also the highest...

After the capture of the entire South Seas, there were at least hundreds of thousands of white prisoners in the hands of the Japanese, and after the capture of Brisbane, this number rose to more than one million―――――― you know, Brisbane alone has a population of more than 300,000...

Of course, there are certainly not as many as Sydney and Melbourne, both of which are among the second largest cities in Australia, while Brisbane is only the third largest city.

In addition, on the Nanyang Islands, the Japanese army has also carried out many massacres...

There are all sorts of reasons for doing this, but none of them are normal.

And just like Nanjing in later generations, because the Japanese army's secrecy measures were very strict, no one knows what the Japanese did in Nanyang until now, or even if they did, there was no evidence...

Except, of course, for the Military Intelligence Agency, but since these things were prepared to be taken out after the Kokusha government and the Japanese government turned their faces, the Kokusha government has remained silent until now...

――――――――――――――――――――

When they entered Brisbane, the Japanese also carried out organized massacres, but Brisbane was not a small city after all, so the Japanese did not go too far. However, this time in Canberra, because of the fire in the stomach, the organized slaughter began...

At first, it was only against some rebels or those who were resistant to the Japanese army, but later they began to implicate them on a large scale. Before the capture of Canberra, it was estimated that at least tens of thousands of Australians were slaughtered...

And now...

"Come, please get there and line up"

After leading about a dozen Australians to a square, a Japanese translator smiled.

This kind of thing is more appropriate to be done by the country.

The Australians who followed the translator didn't know what was going on at first, but when they arrived at the execution ground, the so-called square, they understood it after looking at the surrounding Japanese soldiers and the machine guns they had erected, as well as the blood stains everywhere on the execution ground

"You're going to do this"

A white man shouted loudly, but before he could finish shouting, a Japanese soldier next to him had already smashed him to the ground with the butt of a rifle.

At this time, the Japanese translator next to him was no longer as polite as just now, but directly instructed the Japanese soldiers to escort them to the execution ground...

"I'll leave it to you next..."

After making sure that he didn't need himself, the interpreter smiled at an officer next to him.

The officer nodded.

By this time, the Australians had been driven to one of the walls of the square, and the walls behind them were already stained with blood, and the place was black and red...

Start

After the two words came out of the officer's mouth, the machine gunner, who had been preparing for a long time, knocked the trigger ...

――――――――――――――――――――..., what happened in Canberra is not known to anyone, just as it happened in other parts of the South Seas. And just as the Japanese thought, the fall of Canberra did have a great impact, after all, Australia was also an important member of the Allied Powers.

And unlike those small countries, Australia is the only country in the world that occupies a single continent, and its territory is one of the largest in the world. Although the country is not very strong because of its population, the fall of Australia still causes a lot of panic.

Of course, people who are interested still know very well that Canberra is just the product of a compromise between the two cities of Sydney and Melbourne on the issue of the capital, but the world is ignorant after all, they only know that the capital of Australia has fallen, but they do not understand that a capital with a population of just over 100,000 people may not be more important in all aspects than those cities with more than a million people.

One more important point...

As has been said, Australia is not only a vast country, but also rich in resources.

Although because 70% of the country is arid or semi-arid, Australia is not suitable for large-scale farming. However, the islands occupied by Japan in the South Seas were very suitable for farming...

Therefore, this shortcoming of Australia is no longer a so-called shortcoming for the Japanese. On the other hand, Australia's own resources are very attractive to the Japanese.

After the capture of Canberra, the Japanese also turned their spearhead to Sydney again.

For the Japanese, the first target was Sydney, and as long as Sydney could be captured, Melbourne, Australia's new capital, would be nothing.

After capturing Canberra, the Japanese left behind a division in Canberra, and they were responsible for searching for Australians near Canberra.

Unlike China, which prefers to directly annex and occupy land, Japan does not have enough population to annex occupied areas, so it can only choose to support a puppet government.

So although the Japanese carried out a small massacre in Canberra, after the massacre, he needed to provide a certain number of citizens for the puppet government he supported. After all, this puppet government can only look decent if there are a sufficient number of citizens...

"This time, let's make it..."

In the seaside town, on the wharf temporarily built by sappers, Yamashita sighed bitterly.

Not long ago, he had just survived the raid on Sydney, and it was during that battle that Yamashita became the leader of their squad―――――― and the leader of their squad was promoted to squadron leader...

As for the squadron leader―――――― already hung ...

That battle, even now at the bottom of the mountain, is still impressive, after all, such a scale of urban siege is the first time in history even for the Japanese army.

In that battle, due to the large number of shore defense guns in the harbor of Sydney, the Japanese battleships and other large ships could not get close to Sydney at all and carry out a large-scale bombardment of Sydney.

In the end, the Japanese had no choice but to drop their troops at a landing site not far from Sydney, because there were no Australian coastal defense guns there, and the Japanese did not need to worry about their fleet being threatened.

This is also something that cannot be helped, because when warships and shore defense guns bombard, it is always the warships that suffer, even the battleships.

Of course, if it was an aircraft carrier, the situation might have been different.

However, there were a large number of anti-aircraft guns in Sydney, and the Japanese did not want to sacrifice their limited carrier-based aircraft and pilots in Sydney. What's more, they will take advantage of the opportunity of the Americans' power to retreat back to the US mainland to occupy as many Pacific islands as possible and form a home defense circle for the Japanese mainland. ..., since at that landing site, Yamashita and his party were not blocked, so Yamashita and his actions were relatively smooth. However, when it came time to attack and defend Sydney, they failed...

In Sydney, not only did there be a sufficient number of shore defense guns in the harbor, but the Australians also deployed a large number of heavy firepower weapons in the city.

Over the years, although Japan's exchanges with China in all aspects have made its outdated army also begin to pay attention to firepower, rather than katana and bayonets, but based on the weak industrial base and in order to maintain its world-ranked five huge navy, the equipment of the Japanese army can only be said to be better than in history, but it can never be said to be compared with the major army powers of this era.

And the Australians?

As early as when the war was about to burn to Australia, the Australians had already purchased the weapons and equipment they needed from China and the United States through various means, and even the British supported a number of ―――――― bought from China, and then asked China to forward Australia's.

Due to the fact that the Australians had a large number of heavy firepower and equipment, the Japanese troops who launched an offensive against Australia were almost met head-on, and in the first wave of attacks alone, the Japanese army almost lost a large number of troops...

Since launching an offensive against the South Seas and Indochina, the Japanese have hardly faced a harder battle than this ...

However, it was precisely because the Japanese were too successful in the battle of the southern advance that the Japanese did not rush to find out the reason for the defeat after the failure of the first attack, but hurriedly launched the second wave of the attack after organizing it.

It was also during the second wave of the offensive that the troops under the mountain lost his squadron leader.

It was also during that attack that Yamashita became the leader of his own squad.

Those two battles, even today, were a nightmare for Yamashita, with a large number of automatic weapons from the enemy, as well as the ammunition that flew everywhere and the companions who kept falling...

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that too many of his companions died in the two battles, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Yamo's turn to be the leader of this squad.

However, it was the war that made Yamashita completely frightened.

Fortunately, in the next few battles, because the Japanese army did not take advantage of the relationship, the Japanese command decisively decided to transfer the target, which also made Yamashita breathe a sigh of relief, but now...

"Are you going again..."

Standing on the dock, looking at the soldiers who were waiting in line to board the ship, Yamashita sighed.

"It's all standing, and we'll be here in a moment..."

While Yamashita was standing on the dock, commanding his subordinates, several officers of the rank of major general on the deck of a troop carrier not far away were also discussing.

"You say, can it go well this time..."

Standing on the deck, Yuichiro Nagano, the commander of the 37th Division, spoke.

The common name of the 37th Division is, Winter...

Historically, the 32nd and 36th Divisions were newly organized for the purpose of maintaining law and order and security in the occupied areas of China. After the 37th Regiment was formed, it was assigned to the 1st Army in North China, and the 20th Division was replaced by the 20th Division to take up the garrison duty in the southwest of Shaanxi Province. Like the rest of the security divisions, after the summer of 1939 they carried out sweeping campaigns in various places.

At the beginning of the Pacific War, the 37th Division was still stationed in Shanxi Province. In February 1944, the 37th Division handed over the garrison of Shanxi Province to the 69th Division, which came to change defenses, and participated in the Mainland Opening Operation (Operation No. 1).

At the end of March, the 37th Division was incorporated into the 12th Army (Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama), and the 12th Army launched the Gyeong-Han Operation in order to open up the railway line from Beiping to Hankow. In late July, the 37th Division was incorporated into the 11th Army (Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama) and went south to participate in the Battle of Yuxianggui. After the battle, the division did not return to North China but was incorporated into the Indochina Garrison Army (soon known as the 38th Army) and stationed in French Indochina. ..., in April 1945, the base camp prepared to put the 37th Division on the Burma front, and the division had been on standby when it entered the territory of Thailand. However, he was suddenly transferred to the Malay Peninsula. On the way to the Malay Peninsula, Japan surrendered unconditionally.

In addition, the 37th Division was formed on February 7, 1939, and was formed in Kurume and Kumamoto.

Location at the time of surrender in World War II: Bangkok (Thailand. Surrender unit: 38th Army.

Infantry Wing (at the time of surrender): 225th (Kumamoto), 226th (Miyakohiro), 227th (Kagoshima)

However, in this era, the 37th Division was prepared by the Japanese army early on, and it was specially prepared for the southward attack. Of course, the 37th Division must not be compared with those time-honored divisions, after all, those are all real A divisions, but Yuichiro Nagano's opponents are only Britain, France and the Dutch colonial troops in Southeast Asia, so the 37th Division fought relatively smoothly along the way, only in Sydney, the 37th Division's losses were not small.

"Who knows..."

Hearing Yuichiro Nagano ask, a division commander next to him smiled bitterly and said.

"This time, like last time, there is no plan..."

"yes," said another major general. But there's no way around it, after all, you can only rely on a hard attack on Sydney, and other tricks are useless..."

Hearing the officer say this, Yuichiro Nagano and the others all nodded.

Even in later generations, urban warfare was called the bloodiest war, as in Grozny, where the losses of the Russian army were simply staggering. And in this era, the so-called urban warfare will only be bloodier than later generations.

You must know that in later generations, whether it was the Battle of Leningrad or other battles, it was extremely bloody...

It is precisely because of this that the commanders of various countries hate urban warfare so much, because in urban warfare you can only fight with your opponent little by little, through bloody ways...

It's okay to say that the opponent is scrappy enough, but if the opponent is a little stronger...

Losses will grow exponentially...

While a few senior officers were there talking about Sydney, the team down the hill had boarded the troop carrier.

About an hour later, when the troop carrier was almost full, the troop carrier and several other nearby troop carriers sailed to Sydney under the escort of two light cruisers...

Although the Americans are no longer able to compete with the Japanese for control of the Pacific Ocean because of the total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, at least in the short term, this does not mean that the Americans do not have a sense of presence here.

At least the Americans are in the Pacific Ocean, and they are still patrolled by many submarines.

Especially in the Pacific Ocean and Australia, Japanese ships have been attacked many times in the waters near Australia in recent times. Fortunately, due to the Sakhalin conflict, the Japanese mainland was completely blockaded by submarines for a period of time, so Japan has been studying submarine tactics.

Although Japan is not yet the top in terms of technology, it has been able to earn the title of anti-submarine expert after ten years of continuous research.

And the United States, although the performance of the Americans' submarines is not bad, but because the Americans are not as good as the Germans in the use of submarines, the losses of the Americans in the waters near the Pacific Ocean and Australia are relatively large.

In recent times, due to the large number of submarine losses, there have been very few incidents of ships being attacked, after all, it takes a long time to swim all the way from the mainland of the United States to Australia. However, even so, the Japanese were still very cautious, and the ships were usually escorted by escort ships. …,

――――――――――――――――――――

"Follow me when the time comes..."

After some time of sailing, the Japanese troop carriers finally arrived at the landing site at the time of the first landing.

Since the harbor of Sydney had been blockaded by the Japanese fleet at this time, not to mention ordinary ships, not even a submarine could get out, the Australians knew about the Japanese movement but had no way to stop it.

It was in this situation that the troop carrier where Yamashita was located landed in a shallow place.

And the first thing Yamashita did after the dinghy docked was to ask his subordinates to follow him.

But...

"Captain, haven't you been to Sydney yet? It's not so necessary, is it? Quite a few words"

Hearing Yamashita say this, a slightly fat soldier next to him said.

Indeed, despite the failure of several attacks on Sydney, the Japanese established a base near the landing site. And although the Australians regard this base as a thorn in their side, because they only have a garrison, they see this base under their noses...

However, Yamashita shook his head and said.

"Although those white Australians have no way to take our base, there are a lot of guerrillas near the base, and there are many snipers among them, so if you want to go home alive, you must follow me no matter what the situation is in the future..."

After the failure of the assault on Sydney, Yamashita also spent some time at the base, waiting for the troops to be repaired, and as a result, he was impressed by the nearby Australian guerrillas.

And after listening to Yamashita's words, some people nodded, but some people looked disapproving, and there was nothing they could do about these people, after all, the more forced this kind of thing is, the more likely it is to cause resistance from subordinates.

You must know that it is a very common situation among the Japanese army, especially among the Japanese army, if Yamashita really does too much, even if he is shot on the battlefield, it is not impossible.

So Yamashita only mentioned it, and then didn't say anything.

Yamashita and his subordinates just rested for the first two days after arriving at the base, after all, if they didn't take a break on the ship, it would affect their combat effectiveness. Moreover, the strategy for Sydney is by no means only something that can be done by one or two divisions, and it requires the cooperation of several divisions and regiments to make it possible.

Now, only one division of the 37th Division had arrived in advance, and the rest of the divisions were still rushing here, so Yuichiro Nagano had to wait here for his colleagues to arrive.

Fortunately, the operation against Sydney was a very important matter, and the navy did not dare to pull the army back behind, so in just a short time, the navy had already transported several divisions and regiments in charge of operations to the vicinity of Sydney.

"Sydney..."

In a relatively simple house in the base, Yuichiro Nagano held a wine glass and said quietly.

"As long as you take Sydney, if you take Melbourne, you will have the whole of Australia in your hands..."

"That's right..."

A short but very strong officer on the side nodded in agreement after drinking the wine in his glass.

"But Sydney isn't that easy to get to."

Yuichiro Nagano nodded, he knew this the most.

"Then Hasegawa-kun, I'm here to bless you..."

Hearing Yuichiro Nagano say this, the officer named Hasegawa hurriedly said.

"Where..."

――――――――――――――――――――

By the next day, after a few days of repair, the Japanese troops had almost recovered from the long journey. ..., and looking at Sydney in the distance, Yuichiro Nagano was also distracted.

Sydney, Australia's largest city, is on the verge of being in ruins after a series of wars. The original population of more than one million people in the city has only been more than 900,000 after this period of change.

Even so, Sydney is still Australia's largest city.

It was for this reason that Sydney was able to hold out in a series of Japanese offensives, forcing the Japanese to shift their target to Canberra.

Today, however, the Japanese have made up their minds to take Sydney.

Because only by taking Sydney first, it is possible to take Melbourne, and only by taking all the three cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra can it be regarded as truly integrating the whole of Australia into control.

"Let's get the artillery unit on first..."

After using a telescope to look at the once beautiful but now ruined Sydney in the distance, Yuichiro Nagano said to an officer nearby.

"Yes"

Hearing Yuichiro Nagano's order, the officer put his legs together.

In a short time, the artillery units that had received the order had already begun to exert their might.

The last time the onslaught on Sydney was launched, the Japanese artillery units were mainly equipped with Type 96 150mm field howitzers and Type 89 150mm field cannons.

Type 96 150mm field howitzer is a field howitzer of the artillery unit and elite field heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese elite division or brigade, and it is also the new 150mm howitzer produced by the Japanese Army during the war.

However, historically, this gun was forced to be largely discontinued in 1943 due to cost issues, and most of the Type 96 150mm field howitzers were completed in 1936-1941.

As for the 89-type 150mm field cannon, it is mainly equipped with the artillery units of the Japanese elite infantry divisions, field heavy artillery brigades, heavy artillery wings, and long-range field cannons of independent heavy artillery units, which have a long range and a larger projectile power than the projectile of the Japanese army's 150mm field howitzer.

This kind of artillery began to be widely used in the Chinese battlefield after the 918 Incident and played a huge role in destruction, but in the Pacific theater, because the US military adopted the frog jumping tactics of avoiding the real and making up for the false, it rarely had the opportunity to encounter the threat of this artillery.

In the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, 8 Type 89 150mm field cannons of the Japanese army participated in the battle and achieved great lethal effects, and Lieutenant General Barnack of the US Army was also killed by this artillery.

Although the 150mm caliber gun is not small in caliber, it is still a little smaller for siege warfare after all. The failure of the Japanese siege last time was not unrelated to the fact that the main gun was too small, after all, there were many strong offensives that only the main guns of larger caliber could be destroyed, otherwise Germany and other countries would not have developed so many large-caliber artillery guns in history.

Of course, in later generations, for various reasons, there were very few large-caliber artillery, and usually the largest caliber artillery was only 210mm, and there were very few countries equipped with this caliber, the most was 150mm...

And this time, in order to successfully take Sydney, while launching an offensive against Canberra, the Japanese also took this opportunity to get some Type 96 240mm heavy howitzers from the Japanese mainland.

The Type 96 240mm heavy howitzer belongs to the siege heavy artillery used to destroy the fortifications of the hostile fortress, and the siege heavy artillery squadron equipped with the field heavy artillery brigade of the permanent infantry division and regiment has only been used in the general attack on the Bataan fortress in the Pacific theater, and has been used more in the Chinese battlefield in history.

In fact, the arrival of the Type 96 240mm heavy howitzer has somewhat strengthened the confidence of some Yuichiro Nagano. After all, in a war, when the quality is qualified, it is always the side with a larger caliber of weapons that has the upper hand...

――――――――――――――――――――...,",The Japanese firepower this time is much stronger than last time..."

Listening to the screeching of shells as they fall and the explosions as they land, an Australian officer in an underground fortification scolds and slams his fist against the wall as he does so.

However, at this time, the concrete wall was also shaking because of the shock wave generated by the shells, so the officer was bounced back as soon as he pounded his fist.

"Me X"

At this time, a companion next to him saw his appearance and said with a smile.

"Be careful, don't let the shells trample the fortifications, but you collapse them..."

Well, although the Australian officer seemed to look indifferent, he looked like he did not care anyway, because his face was now so gray that he could not see the human color.

And every time a cannonball landed nearby, his body seemed to tremble.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the Japanese shelling seems to have finally stopped, and several people in the fortifications have also calmed down one by one while exhaling a breath.

In the last battle, the Japanese used to play a very ordinary little trick, which was to pretend to stop the shelling after the shelling, and pretend to attack it. As a result, after the Australians came out of the fortifications, the Japanese artillery units resumed bombardment, and the intensity was several times greater ...

It was that time that caused the Australians to lose a lot of troops, and at the same time taught the Australians a lesson―――――― there is no way, after all, Australia is not a country like Britain or France, Australia has no colonies overseas, and there have been no border conflicts with neighboring countries―――――― because the entire continent is his.

Of course, it can't be said that there is no conflict, at least the relationship between Australia and New Zealand is notoriously bad, but even if there is a conflict, the two countries are still at sea, after all, the two sides are still separated by a sea...

It is precisely for this reason that the actual combat experience of the Australian troops is actually very poor, otherwise they would not have fallen into the trap of the Japanese.

At this time, several Australian officers sat quietly in the fortifications, just waiting for a signal from outside. And it didn't take long for a signal to come from outside.

"That's right, it's the Japanese who came this time."

Hearing the pre-programmed signal, the officer just jumped up.

This was a signal that was set up after the end of the last battle, in order to prevent the situation of the last time, and after the officers and officers and men in the fortifications quickly walked out of the fortifications one by one, they found that at a great distance from the fortifications, countless Japanese were pouring in...

"These damn Japanese"

Muttering, the officer just now picked up a machine gun...

Since the Australian troops were numerically inferior, they could only fight for as much equipment as possible. So after spending a lot of money, the Australian troops were equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, and a considerable part of the weapons and equipment in this were actually ordered by the British, and only transferred here to support Australia.

It is precisely because of these equipment that Australia was able to survive the last campaign.

"Dada

After aiming the muzzle of the gun at the Japanese who were constantly pouring in the distance, the officer just pulled the trigger.

At the muzzle of the gun, bullets flew out like fiery snakes, and almost in a moment's time, four or five Japanese soldiers had already fallen on the opposite side. At this time, other Australian units near the officer also began to block the Japanese troops who poured in.

It's just that maybe it's because the artillery fire just now is too fierce, so on the defense line located in the suburbs, many fortifications and tunnels have been blown up and collapsed by the artillery fire just now, which also makes the fire density of the defense line drop a lot ......, but even so, the Japanese soldiers who poured up are still being swept down piece by piece...

But at this time, some Japanese soldiers suddenly squatted down, and then erected long pipes one by one...

"Damn it"

An Australian officer cursed and wanted to turn his gun on the Japanese soldiers, but when he turned his gun, a black winter thing had already flown like raindrops.

"Lie down"

The officer screamed and quickly fell into the trench.

At this time, the nearby Australian troops also reflected, and one by one they quickly stopped shooting.

"Boom..."

A series of explosions, although the power of the explosions was not great, still made the Australian officers and soldiers on the defensive line discouraged.

No way, the grenadier is such a troublesome thing.

But at this time, the officer just now was a little strange.

"The power seems to be a little small..."

However, it only took a short time for him to reflect.

"Damn, it's a gas bomb"

As he said this, the officer hurriedly put on a gas mask that he had worn but had never used.

However, not everyone is like him, because there have been no examples of the Japanese army using poison gas bombs in Australia in the past, so although the Australian troops have a gas mask, no one has ever brought it, and even many Australian soldiers simply left the gas mask in the fortifications, and now...

"Damn it"

Seeing the tragic situation on the position, the officer continued to shoot at the Japanese soldiers who began to pour in with machine guns, and at the same time assigned nearby soldiers to give emergency treatment to those soldiers who did not wear gas masks...
