On the Australian continent, two of the most powerful armies are gathered in the greater Melbourne area. In Melbourne, Lieutenant General Conan, the commander of the coalition forces, who has the same name as a later famous detective, gathered two British division commanders and four Australian division commanders, as well as the commander of the Australian Air Force, although this commander only had 47 old bulldog biplanes at his disposal.

Of course, the old-fashioned ones mentioned are in the eyes of the Red Police soldiers, and in Zhong Yi's view, those below the third-generation aircraft belong to the old-fashioned aircraft. However, in the eyes of the British and Australian military, this is still a good fighter, and there are many pit bulls in the British Royal Air Force, and they were not all retired until two years later.

The Anglo-Australian coalition had six divisions of land forces, including four infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions, with a total strength of 90,000. When he learned that the rebels only had about 10,000 troops, Conan despised several Australian division commanders to the extreme, which was simply a disgrace to the Empire. The Australian Army, which has 9 divisions, was forced to ask for help by less than 10,000 people, oh yes, that group of people still has some more advanced tanks, but isn't the Australian Army also equipped with the most advanced Mark 2 tanks in the Empire? Thinking of this, Conan was a little angry, only a few hundred of this advanced cruiser tank were produced in China, and even the Far East garrison was not distributed, and Australia was divided into two battalions, but with such advanced tanks, they still couldn't defeat the rebels who were less than 10,000 people.

Although they are the ancestors of the same race, after being exiled to Australia, these people have forgotten the glory of their ancestors, lost the fine blood of the Anglo-Saxons, and they are no longer worthy to call themselves English. Conan really looks down on these Australians from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, at the pre-war meeting, although the Australian side repeatedly mentioned the strength of the armored forces of the Red Police, Conan still did not pay enough attention to it, and it was difficult for him to understand that there would be such a powerful weapon in this world as described by this group of cowards? Not even the Empire. Could it be that in Australia, a place that is only suitable for sheep grazing, a more advanced human civilization has emerged? Hell, it's clear that these cowards are excusing their failures.

Don't think that Conan's arrogance means that he is incompetent, he once experienced the First World War, crawled out of the dead pile of the Somme meat grinder, and was promoted to lieutenant general for many military exploits, and he is one of the few fierce generals in the British army. And the fact that he commanded a coalition of 90,000 men and was able to sober up and not attack rashly, but instead took a defensive position against the armored forces of the Red Guard Corps, is enough to show that his performance is nothing more than the omnipresent pretentiousness and nobility of the English, but he is definitely not a light enemy.

"Aren't they just some tanks? We dug more tank trenches in front of the position to limit the advance of the tanks, and then bombarded them with artillery. The two cavalry divisions were outflanked on both sides, waiting for the right moment, and after the artillery units had cleaned up the iron lumps, the knights could harvest the heads of the yellow men with their swords and swords. Don't worry, oh God! Don't you know how timid and stupid the yellow race is? Have you forgotten that in the two Opium Wars, a few thousand of our imperial soldiers could conquer their entire country? After Conan laid out his tactics, he didn't forget to cheer up the "cowards". Almost at the same time, at the railway station in Balalante, the three commanders of the armored brigade and the two captains of the guards Hans and Thayer were also sitting around the square table, on which a military map of the greater Melbourne area had been marked with many red and blue arrows, which was the enemy's position transmitted by the bomber unit from low-altitude reconnaissance and the route of the various units of the Red Guard Regiment preparing to launch an attack in the past few days. The red represents the Red Guard Corps, while the blue arrows represent the Anglo-Australian forces.

The coalition forces set up two lines of defense on the outskirts of Melbourne, and dug an anti-tank trench three meters wide and two meters deep on each line, and then relied on the tank trenches to build fortifications and machine gun positions for crossfire. And their artillery unit actually set up positions in the urban area, and the green area of Melbourne City is as high as 40 percent, and the urban area is also full of trees. The H-5 pilot, who acted as a reconnaissance plane, descended to an altitude of 1,000 meters, and the observers used their telescopes to discover the artillery position in the city, and now the position of this position has been drawn with a blue bomb pattern, and then a small cross has been made with a red pen -- the primary target.

Since Conan dared to arrange artillery positions in the city regardless of the lives of civilians, then if you are the first year of junior high school, I will dare to be fifteen. Zhong Yi had already ordered Yun Jiu, who was in command at the Horsham field airfield, to use two bombs that could be attached to it to bombard the artillery positions first, and then the bombers taking off from Adelaide would cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The bombers all carried 500 kilograms of medium bombs, and in Zhong Yi's words, they bombed me fiercely, flattening the artillery positions of the British...... No, blow up into a pit.

The self-propelled artillery units of the three regiments were not allowed to complete this task, taking into account the fact that the Air Force was more accurate in dropping bombs. The Allied artillery positions were very close to Chinatown, less than 500 meters from the nearest Chinese-owned shop. Unlike other Australian cities, many Chinese came to Melbourne to pan for gold in the last century, and in order to distinguish it from San Francisco in the United States, they called it the New Gold Mountain, and today, there are more than 100,000 Chinese living in the Chinatown of Melbourne. Zhong Yi wasn't sure if this was deliberately arranged by Conan or if his subordinates made their own decisions, but this discovery still made several Red Police officers angry. The whole country Lin even scolded loudly.

"None of these dead foreign devils are kind-hearted...... Oh, Hans, this doesn't include you, I'm scolding the dead devils in the city! ”

Hans was embarrassed, but he was also a little angry at the apparently ungentlemanly behavior of the British army. Zhong Yi originally wanted to arrange Xiao Guoxing's retaliatory shelling of Melbourne's church district, but considering the general direction of diversity and multiracial unity, he still endured. Ordered Xiao Guoxing's third regiment to focus on shelling the second line of defense of the coalition forces.

Jiang Yunzhi didn't speak much, and his poker face was very worried about the three-meter-wide anti-tank trench. During the high-speed advance, these two trenches would cause great trouble, and if they were filled by the soldiers, relatively large casualties would be inevitable.

Zhong Yi patted Jiang Yunzhi on the shoulder, "Yunzhi, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, we have a way." ”

"Oh, Commander, what's the best way to do it?"

"Hehe, Conan thought he was fighting with the Qing army, and he had to fill the moat with human lives. Yunzhi, we are a modern, mechanized army, you can even level the airfield, can you still repair these two small earthen ditches? ”

"Huh? Ahh Jiang Yunzhi stretched out his thumb, "It's really high!" ”

"Damn, poker face, if you come with me again, I'll turn my face with you, you're a little devil!"
