The chariots of the Ming army soon broke through the barbed wire drawn by the British army with wooden stakes wrapped around barbed wire, which was good for infantry and cavalry, but not for chariots. The barbed wire was no damage to the chariot's armor, and the chariot could break it with a single slam into the barbed wire! As long as a few dozen chariots collide with the enemy's barbed wire, hundreds of wooden stakes can be broken in a few strokes, and without so many supporting wooden stakes, the barbed wire will naturally fall to the ground.

While the vehicles were ramming the barbed wire, they were able to fire at the British trench lines with their own 30mm rapid-fire guns, 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 7.5mm heavy machine guns.

Seeing that their barbed wire lines were in danger, the British, Indian, and thief armies in the British trenches also reacted, all shouting in fear and frantically, desperately firing rifle and machine gun bullets at these iron-clad chariots. But these bullets could not penetrate the frontal armor of the vehicle at all, and only clanged and splashed sparks on the steel plates.

And there are still some tanks with 120-mm mortars on the side of the Ming army, and they are waiting for this moment!

The mortar armored vehicle had no turret, and its self-defense weapon was a 7.5 mm machine gun mounted on the roof, while the rear half of its body was without a roof, and an open compartment was mounted with a 120 mm heavy mortar with an extended barrel. These vehicles, known as the A-11 self-propelled mortar vehicles, were not involved in ramming stakes and suppressing British positions with direct fire, but rather shelling British trenches from a relatively backward position.

Of course, this relatively backward position was actually very close to the British trenches. So the effect of the shelling is also very ideal! 120 mm shells continued to fall in the trenches of the British army, blowing up the flesh and blood of the British, Indian, and thief troops in the entire trench!

There were also some 2.75-inch infantry guns on the British positions, which could still pose a certain threat to the tank. Soon several tanks were blown up by direct hits from 2.75-inch shells, and the British soldiers who saw this scene could not help but let out a burst of cheers: "God bless the king!" ”

Yang Xiuqing, who was sitting in the turret of an A-11 assault gun truck, suddenly heard someone shouting at him, followed the sound and looked, and saw a gun barrier with a muzzle flame at a glance, and quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed the 30 mm rapid-fire gun at the exposed gun barre, that is, several 30 mm shells, probably happened to detonate the 2.75 inch shells, only to hear a loud "boom" sound, this gun fort with the 2.75 inch gun company with the artillery, all were blown to pieces!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xiuqing found an identical fort, and the muzzle of a 2.75-inch gun poked out, so he turned the muzzle of the 2.75-inch gun he controlled, aimed at a few 30-mm shells, and soon blew up the 2.75-inch gun.

There is not just one assault gun truck on the battlefield today, but dozens of them! Together, where could those 2.75-inch guns on the British trench line withstand their fire? Soon they were all dumbfounded.

Dense fire swept across the entire front, and the British could not raise their heads at all. At this point, the combat sappers on the armoured transport vehicle jumped down, removed the logs tied to the tank, and rolled them into the trenches strewn with corpses, quickly filling in the passages and clearing several rows of obstacles across the road surface of Route 1.

Once again, the chariots blocked by the trenches rushed through the trenches at full speed towards the critical Highway 1, followed by armoured infantry with assault rifles, constantly firing at the recalcitrant British with their powerful assault rifles. Some of the Indian soldiers showed flexible loyalty at this time, and when they saw the fierce Ming army, they all dropped their rifles and raised their hands high.

At the same time that the Indian soldiers betrayed the emperor and raised their hands to surrender, the thieves and soldiers on the front line also began to flee...... They clearly loved their lives more than the British Empire. I saw these people dragging their rifles and running towards the place where the horses were kept in captivity, shouting as they ran: "Defeated, defeated......"

The British soldiers from the British Isles were the bravest, and at this time they were able to fight and retreat along the communication trenches and retreat to their own reserve positions. But assault rifle bullets chased after their butts, knocking most of them down in the icy trenches.

The Ming army's chariot group began to assault along Route 1 in depth towards the British front, and soon rushed into a British artillery position that had been bombed by Wyvern 2 fighters, crushing the remaining 6-inch and 3.7-inch cannons. Behind the chariots and armoured infantry, there were many ordinary infantrymen who pounced on the British trenches to clear out the remaining British soldiers, leaving some men to re-arm, while others continued along the communication trenches, using bayonet-mounted rifles, assault rifles, and grenades to drive the British out of their positions.

On the "Nanjing", where the headquarters of the Southern Continent Army of the Ming Army was located, after getting the good news that the chariot cluster had achieved a breakthrough, General Mu Zhongjun was so excited that he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then ordered with a wave of his hand: "The First Infantry Division, the Fourth Infantry Division, and the Thirty-eighth Infantry Division...... All of them are attacking! To launch an attack on the whole front, you must absorb the enemy troops in front of you like a magnet, and you can't let them evacuate easily! ”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the front, Hugh. There was chaos in Admiral Gough's provisional headquarters. From Hugh. Admiral Gough and below, undecided, scrambled to gather reserves in order to crush the enemy in front of him with a cavalry counterattack. On the other hand, he was planning a retreat - Hugh. Gough's corps was now faced not only with the danger of being breached by the enemy, but also with the difficulty of running low on ammunition and supplies. The supply column from Sydney can only feel it after 5 days! And the ammunition in the hands of the Gough regiment could not support 5 days of high-intensity fighting in any case.

If the ammunition runs out, how will this battle be fought?

I have to say that the Ming army picked a good time to launch a counterattack!

But not rest. Goff's 21 divisions were now in a posture of temporarily turning to the defensive after a major attack, and the large forces had been deployed, intertwined with the Ming army. If you don't pay attention to retreat, then these 21 divisions will all be lost to the west of Mount Tabor - after all, there are a large number of armored vehicles among the Ming army that is now attacking, and these armored vehicles have 6 wheels...... And the war horse has only 4 legs.

A 4-legged horse can't outrun a 6-wheeled chariot!

Without these 21 divisions, the British army in Australia would be completely finished...... Thinking that he was in high risk of becoming a sinner who lost an entire continent, Hugh. Gao Fu slapped the table and stood up.

The staff officers around him were taken aback by his "slap", and they all turned their heads to look at him.

Stop. Gao Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Send out the reserve team to launch a counterattack on the Ming army's ironclad convoy on Highway 1!" ”

His chief of staff, Brigadier General Clinton, was stunned: "General, are you going to use the cavalry cluster to counterattack the ironclad car cluster?" I'm afraid our cavalry doesn't have the means to fight the ironclad cars......"

Stop. Gough nodded, "Yes! The gap must now be closed...... No matter what troops were used, the ironclad convoy of the Ming army could not be allowed to continue to break through along Highway 1...... Once they were allowed to penetrate our lines, at least 16 divisions would be cut in two by the enemy, and they would lose their rear routes, and the supply centers we had placed along Route 1 would be captured by the enemy. At that time, the 200,000 British troops will all collapse due to lack of supplies!

So, now let's have our 1st Australian Cavalry Corps and 2nd and 7th Cavalry Divisions attack...... God, will bless them! ”
