Chapter 32: The Battle of Kacheng (1)

The iron ore of the main base and the gold ore income of the sub-base are added together, and the available funds are increasing at a rate of more than 400,000 every day, looking at the numbers at the top of the screen, Zhong Yi narrowed his eyes comfortably. In two more days, you can complete the colonel task, the brigade-level establishment, the army that can recruit more than 3,000 people, hehe, Perth, the beautiful Black Swan City, you can't run away! Moreover, buddy is finally saying goodbye to the pure army era.

In this era, no one knows better than Zhong Yi what the Air Force means! In the wars of later generations, air supremacy is the balance of war. Even in the Korean War in the fifties, when the planes were not as advanced as those of later generations, and there were no missiles flying all over the sky, how much sacrifice did the volunteers who did not have air supremacy pay? People are in the sky, you are on the ground, people can beat you casually, but you can't hit others. You arrange a defensive line, as soon as the army is mobilized, people can see it clearly, and what is more excessive is that you have to take advantage of the dark to sneak around to transport some materials, people eat and drink spicy food there, wrapped in thick blankets, let's not talk about it, we don't even dare to shoot bullets casually, we have to save money, maybe it won't be transported when it happens. Isn't all this because we don't have air supremacy? It would be a miracle to be able to beat the United Nations forces back to the 38th parallel!

Not to mention the two Gulf Wars, Lao Sa's army is not bad in the Middle East, and the Republican Guard is an elite division. But Lao Mei doesn't play infantry with you, people play air raid precision strikes, Tomahawk cruise guidance, and air cavalry rush, and a 101st Airborne Division will turn Lao Salang into a daze.

By the way, thinking of this, Zhong Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, if you want to say that the real nemesis of tank armor has to be said to be Wuzhi - armed helicopter. After the outbreak of World War II, a large number of tanks appeared on the battlefield, and the heavier they were, the thicker the armor was, and the Type 59 could not maintain absolute superiority on the battlefield, so if they could lead other countries with more advanced armed helicopters...... Even if it is not possible to develop guided missiles in this era, it is quite powerful to equip only rockets, aerial guns, and machine guns. For example, the air cavalry division of Lao Mei, it should not exist now, it was only formed at the end of World War II, and it was a paratrooper. Now we also have a 101...... regiment, Zhong Yi touched his nose a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was the only one in front of the command platform, and these white soldiers still didn't listen to his command.

Zhong Yi was a little proud of the concept that he could preemptively occupy the air cavalry, but the sudden voice of the female anchor immediately poured cold water on him. "Report to the commander that a large number of locomotives have been found on the railroad to the east."

"Distance? How far away are those trains? Zhong Yi suddenly pushed away the chair under his butt and stood up.

"Just entered the detection range of a hundred kilometers from the sub-base."

Switching the hologram to a hundred kilometers east of the railway line, it is quite vague, I can't see anything clearly, but I can only be sure that there are indeed locomotives on the railway moving. Secretly scolded the radar imaging technology of the base, which is still not as good as satellites! But it doesn't matter, since the Red Guard occupied Kalgoorlie, all the trains on the main line of the east-west railway in Australia have stopped running, and the locomotives that appeared on the railway at this time must undoubtedly be transporting Australian troops.

Zhong Yi grinned, it seemed that he had fallen for the old fox. Sandra said that there is infighting in Australia, and Canberra will not care about the life and death of Perth, and now it seems that this is clearly a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain. "Bird, where is the location of the armored regiment?"

"Report to the sir, the armored regiment has now arrived at the periphery of Perth City and is facing off across the river from the 3rd Division of the Australian Army, and the whole regiment commander is organizing ......"

"Okay, the battle on the front line, let the whole regiment commander make his own decision, and we don't interfere too much." Zhong Yi directly interrupted the female anchor's report, it doesn't matter what Lin is doing in the country, it is certain that even if the armored regiment returns at full speed, it will not be able to catch up with the front of the Australian army that came by fire. Now, unless Kalgoorlie is abandoned, it will have to rely on the existing forces. Two regiments of the National Guard, but ...... Zhong Yi gritted his teeth and punched on the command platform, his hand was very painful, and the alloy structure of the command platform was very strong.

The 101st Regiment can't be counted on, Hans can restrain those white soldiers, it would be good if he didn't come to make trouble! 102 regiment...... Although the morale of those indigenous soldiers was good, was it possible to expect an infantry regiment that had been trained for less than a month to defeat a division or even more of the main Australian army?

Retreating, abandoning the sub-bases, and joining up with the armored regiment seemed to be the only option now. But Zhong Yi was not reconciled, there were less than two days, and there were only forty hours left, and he could be promoted to colonel, and after recruiting more than 2,000 red sergeants, he could build the air command department and the airport. Two days later, the Australian army was a pack of chickens and dogs.

By the way, there is another unit here in the sub-base, that is, the guard company led by Jiang Yunzhi and Qian Zhihao. This company was formed before the decision was made to attack Perth, and Qian Zhihao was carefully selected from the entire armoured regiment, and Qian Zhihao was transferred back from the cavalry battalion as company commander. Jiang Yunzhi did not act with the armored regiment, but also to stay and conduct special training for this company, and the goal was to carry out special tasks after the armored regiment captured Perth. To put it bluntly, if the major families in Western Australia are not honest, then the guard company will be dispatched to let some people disappear secretly, in the words of our Han people, to kill chickens and monkeys.

Now, this guard company will play an important role in this blocking battle, and the indigenous regiment led by the Red Guard soldiers can also burst out with stronger combat effectiveness, and it may not be impossible to hold out for two days.

Without much time to think about it, Zhong Yi walked out of the control room of the base and called Jiang Yunzhi and Qian Zhihao, who were organizing special training, "At most, in four hours, the army from eastern Australia will attack us, and our armored regiment will not have time to come back to help."

did not panic as expected, but saw a trace of excitement on Qian Zhihao's face. Zhong Yi smiled bitterly: "Don't think that it is a small group of enemies, a large number of locomotives are loaded, there should be at least one division of troops, and there should be heavy equipment." ”

Jiang Yunzhi still had a poker face, "Sir, let's gather the second regiment, we have to seize the time to build a blocking position, and the blocking tactics that the guard company has been practicing hard these days can be practiced in actual combat." ”

"Yes, Boss, the sights developed by those maniacs in the laboratory are so easy to use, our automatic rifle can be used as a stunter rifle, within 400 meters, no bullets are missing. If I could have a better rifle, I could have hit 800 meters! ”

Looking at Qian Zhihao, who didn't know what he was afraid of, Zhong Yi smiled, "Don't worry, there will be a good rifle." Turning his head, Zhong Yi's expression became very serious, "Yun Zhi, I only need two days, and in two days I will have an army to support you, not an native, but a newly recruited armored unit in our military camp!" ”

"Understand, sir, hold off the enemy on the spot for two days! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
