The ensuing battle for Australia was almost entirely a show by the Western Australian Volunteers, and the Second Army and the other armies needed to go all out to encircle and intercept the Australian forces moving westward, mainly to block and pursue, of course, and to push them as far as possible into the desolate interior away from the predominantly populated areas.

With the Australian army's westward flight, because of the combat radius problem, the navy's carrier-based aircraft can no longer reach them, and the two aircraft carriers in Dingzhen are just sailing to the south to provide air support to the Western Australian volunteers, with these two hundred fighter-bombers, they are naturally like a tiger with wings, and soon hit Adelaide, at this time Australia can go to the battlefield There are few left, and it is naturally impossible to block the Western Australian volunteers who are short of guns and ammunition when there is a lack of guns and ammunition, and Adelaide was conquered in just two days.

After a rest, the Western Australian Volunteers then began to march to Melbourne, and their opponent is the 100,000 army that the Australian federal government has tried its best to put together, it must be noted that there is also a female division here, which can also be regarded as a major innovation in modern military history, as for the reason there is no need to explain, and even so, only three-fifths of the 100,000 Australian troops have rifles, and the rest have to play with cold weapons.

What the? Can be paired with grenades?

There is really no this, there is no saltpeter in Australia, or there is no saltpeter in East Australia, there is no such thing, let alone nitrocellulose antimony, they just want to make black huo medicine and now there are no raw materials.

The reason why they can still hold on is nothing more than being forced by the burning and looting of Chinese soldiers, but just this bit of righteous indignation can't last long, but anyone with a little brain understands that bloody street fighting like Berlin will never happen, at most in Melbourne it is just a little symbolic resistance.

In short, the outcome of the battle for Australia is a foregone conclusion. The time it takes for the Chinese to announce their complete occupation of the country depends on the time it takes for the WA volunteers to cover these hundreds of kilometers.

At this time, the Chinese Navy's African Task Force, which had set off from Dar es Salaam, also escorted the 1st Marine Division to its destination, but they joined the British, and the 1st Marine Division did not land in Maputo, as the British had previously envisioned, but went directly to Durban.

Fortunately, the British were not unprepared, after all, theoretically it was possible for the Chinese to land in any city on the coast of South Africa, where there was a whole division of the South African Federal Army, especially since the backbone of which was mostly Boers, which was indeed a bit funny. Now the main force of the British to defend South Africa is these Boers who made them lose face back then, and they have a common interest in resisting the Chinese invaders, after all, it is impossible for Emperor Yang to give the Rand gold mine to the Boers, with his reputation in this regard, he may be more greedy than the British, and the Boers are still very sober-minded at this point.

It's a pity that what they don't know is what a formidable opponent they will face this time, and the landing operation starts with the marked Yang-style tactics, bombing. Almost endless bombing, the Dingyuan-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons can carry up to more than 100 Eagle fighter-bombers, and the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan ships are improved and can carry up to 120 aircraft. Two hundred and forty carrier-based planes from two aircraft carriers first bombarded the port of Durban for half an hour until the port was almost leveled, and then the destroyer cruisers rushed up to escort the landing ships to the beach.

At this time, the remnants of the heavy artillery on the shore opened fire, although the bombardment caused heavy losses to the South Africans. But after all, there are still some heavy weapons left, but it's a pity that the carrier-based aircraft above them are still circling, and they look at the muzzle flame of the heavy artillery fire below. Then the wings flipped and fell, and then there were fifty-kilogram bombs. If the heavy artillery protection of the South Africans is relatively perfect, for example, there is a fortress or something, this is also easy to do, directly call the battleships at sea, more than 300 kilograms of 280 piercing bombs fly over, and they will be quiet as soon as they are qiē, as for the remnants of the machine gun forts on the coast, those cruiser destroyers will be solved, and it is not only the planes in the sky that have the ability to call the naval guns, but also the infantry who landed are also carrying the radio on their backs, shouting the coordinates and then the shells will come.

The poor former partisans have never seen this, thinking that they did make the British disgraced back then, but at that time the British did not have airplanes, no naval guns, not to mention that they were shooting black guns in the vast pastures of the Transvaal, and this was squatting in the fortifications to suffer shells and bombs, their only commendable thing was their tenacious will to fight, but it was this that completely ruined them, and after finding that the South Africans were relatively stubborn, the angry Chinese invaders began to use some special weapons.

Of course, it is not the DU air bomb, in this open port environment, the effect of the DU air bomb is greatly affected, but there is another thing that is very useful, the white phosphorus bomb.

The coagulation qiyou bomb is suitable for large-scale bombing of the strategic level, its advantage is not power, a single is inferior to white phosphorus, but the problem is that the cost of this thing is cheap, even cheaper than ordinary bombs, if it is a carrier-based aircraft precise dive bombing, it is naturally white phosphorus has a better effect, this thing can be thrown down It can be said that it will catch the wind, and it will never stop if it hits people without burning bones, and the poor South Africans immediately began to wail in hell.

It didn't take long for this brutal tactic to break their will, and as more and more landing ships washed up on the beach, the South Africans who held fast finally began to rout, and above them, one after another of carrier-based aircraft sprayed flames and strafed with impunity, and no one cared whether it was the soldiers killed or the civilians who fled.

After the capture of Durban, the 1st Marine Division immediately cleared the city, then organized a defensive line on the perimeter, followed by the transport ship in port, and the army soldiers on board disembarked, this time landing a whole corps, who were to attack Johannesburg, 500 kilometers northwest, along the railway.

At this time, the British and South African troops originally deployed on the northern front hurriedly retreated after receiving the news that the Chinese had landed in Durban, and rushed to the east of Johannesburg to set up defenses, in addition to the Durban defenders who had just been defeated, there was also a division in Leddy Smith, and this strength would definitely not be able to stop an entire army of Chinese soldiers, not to mention that the group of Chinese who landed also carried a chariot regiment, a heavy chariot regiment composed entirely of dragon chariots.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that this was only used for a feint, and just after the main force of the Anglo-South coalition army went south, the transport ships returning to Dar es Salaam had already loaded with another army and two tank regiments and headed south, and at the same time, the 1st Marine Division, which was originally in the port of Durban, hurriedly boarded the landing ship, and then went directly north under the escort of the fleet, and the two teams would meet and immediately kill Maputo.

This is a Portuguese colony, with less than a thousand garrisons and a few small gunboats, such strength is almost a joke in front of them.

And the Portuguese governor here is also very wise, after seeing the appearance of a huge fleet at sea, he immediately ordered the lighthouse to signal surrender, at this time Portugal was already considered a dead country, a month ago the Spanish army occupied Lisbon, King Carlos I of Portugal and the crown prince and the main minister Franco went into exile in England, and then King Alfonso XIII of Spain announced that he would no longer recognize the peace treaty between the two countries in 1668, and no longer recognize the legitimacy of the royal family of Bragança, The King of Spain will re-wear the Portuguese crown obtained by marriage in 1580, and the Kingdom of Spain will be renamed the Spanish Empire.

Although the Spanish invasion made the Portuguese people sad and indignant, because Carlos I, the hated king, was deposed, the vast majority of the Portuguese still acquiesced to this reality, and they were now powerless to resist, as for the colonial officials like the governor of Mozambique, it was nothing more than to recognize the government-in-exile or submit to the Spanish Empire, it was obvious that as long as they were not fools, they all understood that even if the war in Europe could be ended at this time, Britain, France and Russia would not have the ability to protect Portugal, In that case, let's be aware of the current affairs.

Just after the Chinese landed, the Governor's Palace in Maputo immediately lowered the flag of the Kingdom of Portugal, and then raised the flag of the Spanish Empire, which was urgently prepared, and from then on it was no longer a Portuguese colony of the Entente bloc, but a Spanish colony of the Allied bloc, and His Excellency the Governor General became the Governor of the Spanish Empire in Mozambique.

After the landing, the 1st Marine Division continued to garrison Maputo, and of course ran out to land somewhere if necessary, while the 74th Army, which followed them, opened the way with a regiment of heavy tanks and a regiment of light tanks, and headed straight down the railway to Pretoria.

At this time, the Anglo-South coalition army had just arrived at Leddy Smith, and was fighting a big battle with the 73rd Army of the attacking Chinese Army in this city that represented the shame of the British Empire. Especially those heavy chariots, for them it is simply a desperate storage, their 37 battle anti-artillery hit this kind of chariot front is of no use at all, as for the infantry with anti-tank grenades to blow up, under the automatic rifle blow in the hands of those accompanying Chinese infantry, pure suicide, occasionally there are fish that slip through the net, even if they can rush over, they can't dodge the strafing of the planes hovering overhead, they can only watch these steel monsters rush to the position.
