"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 comfort "women" 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...

Unlike what later generations thought, comfort women were recruited by the Japanese army in World War II as "prostitutes" and forced to ********** for the Japanese army, and most of the comfort women came from Asia, such as China, Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyus, and Southeast Asia, but there were also many white "women" in them.

Ion? Lufa? Helen Warren was the first white woman to publicly acknowledge the experience of comfort women, 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. That is, when he was 17 years old, the yellow-faced Japanese army occupied the island of Java. She was imprisoned in the Ambarawa concentration camp along with her mother, two sisters, and thousands of other women, girls and children. Because, according to the claims of the Japanese military department, they belonged to the Western colonizers. should be overthrown.

Two years later, at the age of 19, Ion was forcibly taken to a Japanese army's military "brothel" ―――――― comfort "women's camp" along with nine other beautiful Caucasian women (all virgins). and lost contact with his own family. The Japanese called it "Nanamiya", and there she became a comfort "woman" for Japanese soldiers, where she was ravaged, beaten and raped in various ways.

At the shelter, Ion and the other girls are tested for sexually transmitted diseases once a 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 raped her after examining her. From now on. Every time the doctor did an examination, he would rape her.

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

"After returning from the comfort women's shelter, I told my mother the truth about what I had experienced. 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 were responsible for protecting their concentration camps. Protect them from being attacked by 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.

Thus. At that time, it was not only the yellow women's "sex" that suffered the tragedy, but also the white women's "sex"...

And in this day and age. With the absence of China, the largest source of origin, Japan naturally had to replenish it from other places. So in history, there may be some female "sex" who can escape such a fate, but there is no one in this world who can escape...

In addition, in addition to the white female "sex", the captive white male "sex" is also engaged in some dangerous labor, such as the resources used to exchange equipment and materials with the national community "government", and a small part of it is provided by the labor of these white male "sexuality―――――― after all population base is 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 because these things were prepared to be taken out after the "government" of the national community and the "government" of Japan turned against each other, the "government" of the national community 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.

And the Australians who followed the translation. At first, they didn't know what was going on, but when they arrived at the execution ground, the so-called square. After looking at the Japanese soldiers around him, the machine guns they set up, and the blood stains everywhere on the execution ground, he understood!!

"You're going to !!"

A white man shouted loudly, but before he could finish. 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 wall behind them was already stained with blood, and the place was black and red...

"Let's go!"

After 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. Those who are interested are still well aware that Canberra is nothing more than the product of a compromise between the two cities of Sydney and Melbourne on the issue of the capital. However, the people of the world are 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 is not necessarily 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 70% of the entire country belongs to arid or semi-arid areas. This makes Australia unsuitable for large-scale farming. However, the islands occupied by Japan in the South Seas were very suitable for farming...

And because of this. This shortcoming of Australia is no longer a so-called shortcoming for the Japanese. On the contrary, it is the resources of Australia itself. It is very attractive to Japanese people.

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 the 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 to the puppet "government" he supported. After all, only with a sufficient number of citizens can this puppet "government" look decent...

"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 the warships and the shore defense artillery are bombarded. It is always the warships that suffer, even the battleships.

Of course, if it is an aircraft carrier that comes. The situation may be different.

However, there were a large number of anti-aircraft guns in Sydney, and the Japanese did not want to sacrifice their limited ships 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.

Because of the landing at that place. Yamashita and his party were not blocked, so Yamashita and his party's 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 begin to pay attention to firepower, rather than samurai swords and bayonets, based on its weak industrial base and in order to maintain its huge navy, which ranks among the top five in the world, 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 flames of war were about to burn on Australia's mainland, Australians had already purchased the weapons and equipment they needed from China and the United States through various means. Even the British supported a batch of ―――――― bought from China. Then please China 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 wave of the attack. Instead, after organizing a little, they hurriedly launched a second wave of attacks.

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

It was also in that offensive. Yamashita became the leader of his own squad.

Those two battles, even today, are like a nightmare for Yamashita. Lots of automatic weapons from the enemy, as well as bullets and pellets that are flying around, and companions who are constantly 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 operations 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 entering 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). No. 226 (Miyakojo), No. 227 (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 is definitely not comparable to those time-honored divisions, after all, those are real first-class divisions, but Yuichiro Nagano's opponents are only Britain, France and the Dutch colonial troops in Southeast Asia, so the 37th Division has fought more easily along the way, only in Sydney. The losses of the 37th Division 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. The losses of the Russian army are simply staggering. And in this day and age. 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...

If the opponent is wasted enough, it's okay to say. 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 or so later. When the troop carrier was almost full, the troop carrier and several other troop carriers in the vicinity. Escorted by two light cruisers to Sydney ...

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.

As for the United States, although the "sexual" ability of the Americans' submarines is not bad, because the Americans are not as good at using submarines as the Germans, 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? ”

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 the Australians see this base as a thorn in their side. But because he only has a garrison force, he sees this base under his nose...

However, Yamashita shook his head and said.

"Although those white Australians have no way to take our base, there are quite a few guerrillas near the base. There are quite a few snipers among them, so if you want to go home alive, you must follow me in the future..."

After the failure of the offensive against Sydney, Yamashita also spent some time at the base. Waiting for the troops to be repaired, he was therefore impressed by the nearby Australian guerrillas.

And after listening to Yamashita's words, some people nodded, while others 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 men arrived at the base for the first two days of rest, after all, they had been on the ship for a few days. If you don't take a break, it will affect your combat effectiveness. And the strategy for Sydney is by no means just something that one or two divisions can do. It takes the cooperation of several divisions to make this 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 it was only for a short time. The Navy had already transported several divisions 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.

"Just take Sydney. In taking Melbourne, even if you have the whole of Australia in your hands..."

"That's right..."

A short, but very strong officer drank the wine from his glass. He nodded in agreement.

"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 ** 150mm field cannons.

The Type 96 150mm field howitzer is a field howitzer of the artillery unit and the 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 basically discontinued in 1943 due to cost problems, and most of the Type 96 150mm field howitzers were completed in 19361941.

As for the ** type 150mm field cannon, it is mainly equipped with the artillery units of the elite infantry divisions of the Japanese army. Field heavy artillery brigade regiments, heavy artillery wings, long-range field cannons of separate heavy artillery units. This gun has a long "firing" range, and the projectile power is greater than that 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. Due to the frog-jumping tactics adopted by the US military, it rarely had the opportunity to encounter the threat of this kind of 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. But for siege warfare, after all, it is still a little smaller. 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, due to 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 is still 150mm...

And this time, in order to be able to take Sydney smoothly. At the same time as 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 the war in the case of acceptable quality. It is always the side with a larger caliber of weapons that has the upper hand...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Damn, the Japanese are much more firepower this time than last time..."

Listen to the screech of shells as they fly down and the explosions as they land. Inside an underground fortification, an Australian officer cursed. He also slammed his fist against the wall as he said this.

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.

"I'm 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 this Australian officer seems to be indifferent, no matter how you look at it, he still looks like he has a sense of concern, because now his face is so gray that he can almost lose sight of people.

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 '' 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 perhaps because the artillery fire just now was too fierce, many fortifications and tunnels on the defensive line located in the suburbs were collapsed by the artillery fire just now, which also made the fire density of the defense line drop a lot...

However, even so, the Japanese soldiers who poured up were 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 !!"

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 quickly!!"

The officer screamed and quickly fell into the trench.

At this time, the nearby Australian troops also reacted, and one by one they also hurriedly suspended their "shooting" attacks.

"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 !!"

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