Chapter 590: Landing in Australia

This murderous weapon destroyed the last courage of Brigadier General Lebed and the remnants of more than a thousand Russian troops, and then when the Chinese chariots drove to them, they directly picked out the white flag, and at this time their first reinforcements also got off the train, because there was only one regiment of light infantry, so this Russian army did not really attack, but looked for a suitable hiding place to set up crane guns and shoot at the east bank in a harassing manner.

Han Won and the two on the east bank also began to arrange defenses along the river, they still need to hold on to the city for more than three days before the follow-up main force arrives, and the enemy they need to face is enough to have an army, an elite army that has been honed in the war with the Germans for four years, and the next battle will definitely not be easy, especially because of the long-range raids, they carry limited ammunition, which also greatly limits their combat effectiveness.

And just as the battle of Omsk was about to begin, Townsville, Queensland, Australia, a small city at the end of the railway, was in a desperate panic, because just as the first rays of the morning sun rose, people suddenly found that a huge fleet on the sea was already close to them, and the yellow dragon flags fluttering on those towering masts showed the majesty of that distant empire.

"The Chinese are coming!" For a while, countless screams rang out, and the whole city seemed to be the end of the world.

There is an army here, and after China declared war on Britain, especially after the Beijing Declaration was issued, the Australian government also knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, so although almost half of the young men had been sent to Europe, Australian Prime Minister Fisher still issued an order to the states to recruit militia to form an army, and the Townsville people also organized a regiment, but looking at the size of this fleet at sea, it is clear that as long as you are not a fool, you understand that this regiment is no different from a small ant in front of the invaders.

Just when the Australians were in a mess, the militiamen who were still sleeping at home were urgently woken up, picked up their rifles in a daze, and rushed out of their homes to the beach amid the cries of their wives and children. Sixteen large landing ships had already rushed out of the fleet, and immediately after that, in order to open up the landing ground, hundreds of battleships, including eight battle cruisers, poured shells on the shore for half an hour. The Australian militia that had just begun to assemble was wiped off the ground in an instant, not only them, but even most of the city was wiped out, as for the collateral losses of Australian civilians, this can only be said to be sorry, this is war, there is no way to do it.

After the landing ships rushed to the beach, they used the guns of the seven or six ships to bombard the devastated city for half an hour. Then the hatch was opened and the gangplank was stretched, and sixteen torrents of green rushed ferociously onto Australian soil.

"Kill chickens with a knife! It's just a waste. On the battlecruiser Daye, Ye Feng, commander of the Australian Front, looked at the small city that was engulfed by artillery fire and said with emotion.

His front army is actually a second army of the army, in addition to the third division of the Marine Corps attached to the operation, a German division that assists in the operation, and a Philippine monkey division commanded by a German officer, all of which are under the command of the fox. Naturally, he is not a good spectator.

In addition, there was an overseas Chinese volunteer army attacking along the railway from Western Australia, and after China declared war on Britain, armed men raised by the Yang consortium overthrew the former colonial government of Western Australia in a coup d'état, and then announced that they would secede from Britain and join the Chinese Empire. and became the autonomous region of Western Australia, which belonged to the Chinese Empire. Immediately afterwards, the Bofors Perth Arsenal took out weapons from the warehouse and armed more than 100,000 overseas Chinese, this time half of the troops were allocated to participate in the war against the British Australian Commonwealth.

Plus this volunteer army. The total strength of the Australian Front Army, which is equivalent to more than 300,000 troops of six armies, is used for the attack, and the total population is only 4 million, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. Australia, which has no regular army and only militia, is indeed a bit too wasteful.

Of course, whether it was waste or insurance, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had already laid down the procedures for the operation for him, and as a commander, he had to follow the procedures, and the 3rd Marine Division, which had seized the beach, soon took control of the whole of Townsville, and then the Army soldiers who were on troop carriers began to land at the docks.

At this time, the news has been like the shock wave of the earthquake, began to wreak havoc throughout Australia, although there have been psychological preparations, but Australians are still stunned by this terrible news, and then Australian Prime Minister Fisher issued a call to the whole country to mobilize, calling on all Australians who can fight to take up arms and join the sacred battle against the invaders. At the same time, Governor Northcott, on behalf of the British government, made a solemn promise to the Australian people that once the Chinese invaders were defeated, Britain would allow Australia to fully establish itself as a true republic.

Under the slogan of defending the homeland and defending the country, countless Australians stood up, rushed to the assembly points with their own weapons, and threw themselves into the vigorous anti-aggression war under the banner of their cities, vowing to live and die with the country.

"Then make them perfect!" So said the emperor, who is currently working hard to complete the great transformation from man to god under the guidance of those stylists and makeup artists in the film company.

The delegation sent by the Japanese imperial family and government to welcome him to Tokyo to receive the emperor's throne has arrived in Beijing, two guard divisions belonging to the Chinese Imperial Guard have landed in Tokyo and arranged security work in the city under the command of Yuan Attendant, and the four battleships of the Beiyang Fleet have also sailed into Tokyo Bay in advance, and even specially dispatched a chariot regiment to the past, in short, they have completely controlled Tokyo to ensure that there will be no accidents when Emperor Yang or His Majesty the Emperor drives through Tokyo.

"Your Majesty, the British are suing for peace again." While Emperor Yang was wearing a Japanese emperor's dress and looking forward to self-pity, Zhang Quan, who hurriedly ran into the palace, told him the unexpected news that the British government, through neutral Sweden, once again proposed to China that the two sides negotiate for the restoration of peace.

"Peace talks? Ah, it's really time to give them some hope, and it just so happens that the emperor is in a good mood today, so he will give the king of Sweden a face, you go and tell them, you can negotiate peace, but there will be no truce during the peace talks. Yang Feng said casually. Although the American and British forces have now beaten Berlin to ruins, the Germans and the two Chinese infantry corps that reinforced them are still stubbornly resisting in the ruins, and Wilhelm and the German government have moved to Dresden, assuming a posture of never surrendering and fighting to the end.

The strategy of the British was practically bankrupt, and there was no point in fighting any further, but the Beijing Declaration forced them to have no way out. However, during this time, China has not been able to advance in the Balkans, and the offensive of both the Spaniards and the Ottomans in the Pyrenees and the Caucasus has also not made any progress, so I feel that I can test the bottom line again.

Since they want to do this, Emperor Yang doesn't mind giving them some illusions, negotiating, talking slowly, how to fight on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the minister always thinks that things are not so simple, it is said that the British are not so naïve, and now our purpose can be said to be known to passers-by, and even the Beijing Declaration has been issued, it is impossible for them to still have any illusions about us." Zhang Quan hesitated and said.

"It doesn't matter, no matter how much they toss, they can't turn it out of our palms." Yang Feng said casually, he didn't know that the Entente was really ready to surprise him this time.

For at the very time of his departure for Japan, the Russians had already begun a large-scale secret move, and four Russian armies were drawn from the battlefield, but not to reinforce Siberia, which was now in danger, but to move in the direction of the Caucasus.

During this time, because of the support of North American arms, Nikolai began to recover slightly, he still has no shortage of soldiers until now, Russia has only killed and wounded less than 15 million, but the huge base of more than 100 million people is there, and there will always be soldiers crowded, what he lacks is only munitions, with a steady stream of free munitions from North America to Murmansk, and now the total strength of the Russian Army has gradually recovered to the number before the major counteroffensive, not counting other battlefields, six million in the European battlefield alone.

After drawing out three army groups to reinforce Siberia, there are still more than five million, if you don't attack again, just defensively, four million Russian troops are enough to block the German-Oro coalition army, after all, Germany and Austria also don't have many people, the total strength of the German army that has shrunk to Poland is less than one million, Austria-Hungary and Germany are about the same, and Field Marshal Goerz's Drolo coalition army is only 500,000, so even if the Russian army withdraws one million, it still has a nearly two-fold advantage on the battlefield.

And this one million will make the final struggle for the Entente bloc, from the Caucasus to the south to raid the Ottoman Empire to completely cut off the logistics supply of the Chinese European Corps, and then use this to force Yang Feng to cease, even if he makes some concessions, such as retreating the Sino-Russian border from Lake Baikal to the west to the Yenisei River, for example, Central Asia can be redivided, it is really not possible to have half of a family, and the British can also lose Australia to Yang Feng, in short, to get a local victory on the battlefield to show Yang Feng strength, Let him know that the Entente bloc is not something to be slaughtered by him.
