25 October 2782 (1941), New Zealand, South Island.
The South Island is one of the two main islands that make up New Zealand, separated from the North Island by the Cook Strait. New Zealand's capital, Wellington, is on the opposite side of the South Island, with the Channel of Fowo to the south, separating it from Stewart Island. It is bordered by the Tasman Sea to the west and the South Pacific Ocean to the east. The island's Māori name is 'Twapurnam', which means 'water of greenstone'.
With an area of about 150,000 square kilometers, the island is slightly larger than the North Island and is the 12th largest island in the world. The western part is made up of a series of northeast-southwest trending mountain ranges that run through the island, with the Southern Alps on the south of the west coast of the South Island being New Zealand's largest mountainous region. The main peak, named after Captain Cook, is 3,754 metres above sea level, making it the highest peak in New Zealand. The economy of the South Island is inferior to that of the North Island.
The South Island is mountainous, with 50% of the country's area covered by mountains. Whether it's lush rainforests, crystal clear lakes, grassy slopes and white beaches, all of them show the freshness and beauty of New Zealand.
In later generations, it was a very famous tourist destination. But at the moment, it is already in the midst of war.
At this time, a group of people with weapons on their backs were shuttling through the dense forests of the mountains. These people were generally tired and flustered, and their clothes were mostly tattered, and if they were not all fully armed, they would have looked like beggars.
Of course, they are not beggars, they are local resistance groups in New Zealand.
Half a year ago, on April 28, the 135th and 136th Divisions of the Chinese Army successfully landed on the South Island under the cover of powerful naval and air forces. Within three days, the defenders of the South Island had been defeated without any suspense, and after five days, the organized resistance had vanished.
But Australia and New Zealand have always had a tough people, and most of them are white supremacists, who have always looked down on the yellow race. After being defeated by China, many of them could not accept this fact, and some radicals simply did not want to be ruled by the yellow race. In addition, although the formed New Zealand army has been wiped out, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net.
These new officers and men who fled quickly hit it off with the die-hard elements of the civilian population, forming dozens of resistance groups, large and small, and they took advantage of their geographical familiarity to play guerrilla warfare against the Chinese occupation forces. Trying to make China make concessions by using force of resistance.
But it is a pity that it is no longer the time of the Boer War, they are not Boers, and the Chinese army is not the British. Britain attacked South Africa because it wanted gold mines and diamonds, and it was to make it a colony. China, on the other hand, is attacking New Zealand, but it wants to completely annex it and treat it as its own territory. If the strategy is different, the response will be different, and the intensity of investment will be different.
Moreover, when it comes to guerrilla warfare, China is the ancestor, and the guerrilla tactics in the world now are all leftovers that China has played over many years. Generally speaking, guerrilla warfare is used only by the weaker side, but this is not the case in China today. As one of the top powers, it has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the study of guerrilla warfare. Although it is difficult for China to use guerrilla warfare in its own strength, it is necessary for others, such as those people in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are oppressed by imperialism and are fighting for independence and freedom. In addition to providing them with all kinds of humanitarian relief materials, it is also necessary to teach them appropriate tactics, and "guerrilla warfare" is naturally the most suitable for them.
On the other hand, it is China itself that needs effective counter-guerrilla means. As for why we need counter-guerrillas? You know. No, this situation is needed now.
"Buzz...... Buzzing ......" At this moment, a low roar faintly came.
This burst of sound is very small, and it is difficult to detect if it does not exceed the hearing of ordinary people.
"Stop, be quiet, ......" The middle-aged man who led the team suddenly made a gesture, he looked around vigilantly, listened attentively, and immediately whispered: "Hurry up and hide!"
The partisans immediately took up their own cover.
After a while, a small airship slowly flew over. This little airship is called the Sky Survey-5 Alert Airship, and it is the thing that the New Zealand Resistance Group hates the most, and it is also the thing they fear the most. The Sky Survey series of vigilant airships was originally developed to suppress the natives of the new territory and to fight for law and order. Equipped with an armored cabin, it can protect against rifle and heavy machine gun attacks, and the airbag is filled with helium, so it is not afraid of being exploded.
The Sky Survey-5 is the latest product in the Sky Survey series, and the load of this soft airship is only about three tons, which is quite cheap. There were only a few people on board, in addition to two pilots, a captain-observer and a communicator, and six soldiers operating weapons. Underneath the airship's pod is a remote-controlled twin machine gun turret that can rotate 360 degrees, each equipped with two 12mm machine guns. It can also be equipped with air-to-surface missiles or rocket nests. There is also a ring of perforations around the pod, as well as observation equipment such as telescopes of various magnifications.
And the power of these airships has also been replaced by electric motors, 500 kg of silver dragon batteries can maintain their endurance for up to three days, and the noise of the electric motors is extremely small, even if they travel at full speed, the noise is similar to that of several large electric fans. It's hard to hear from a distance of a few hundred meters.
Of course, this kind of small airship is very vulnerable to anti-aircraft guns and man-to-air missiles, but this kind of airship was originally a weapon for suppressing the indigenous guerrillas in the new territory and carrying out security operations, and the guerrillas of this year will not have these things. These Sky Survey series of vigilance airships were originally used in Indonesia and have worked very well with security companies. Later, it was used in Andong, Anxi, Anbei and other places to deal with the Red Russian guerrillas, as well as for the new territorial security war in the Indochina Peninsula, and after many years of actual combat, the great value of this equipment has been proven.
Now they are being used in law and order operations in Malaya and New Zealand.
These things are indeed a sharp weapon against the guerrillas, they can stay in the air for a long time, they move silently, coupled with all kinds of reconnaissance and observation equipment, often the guerrillas have not even discovered them, they have already been locked by them. Then they stop at the limit range, entertain them with heavy machine guns and rockets or missiles, and if the guerrillas are a little larger, they call for reinforcements, and it won't be long before nearby helicopter gunships or turboprop attack planes arrive.
The guerrillas had no way to deal with either of these two enemies, and neither the rifle nor machine gun in their hands could be fired, but a few holes were drilled into the airship's airbags, but not enough to make the airship fall. And the weapons on the airship are deadly to them.
The most tragic thing is that once they are discovered, it will be very difficult for them to escape. It is true that the speed of the airship is very slow, but it depends on who it is compared to, if it is compared with an airplane, of course it is slow, but if it is compared with a two-legged person, then the speed can be said to be lightning fast. It is impossible for the two-legged partisans to outrun the airship flying in the sky.
In the past six months, the resistance organizations in Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia have suffered heavy losses, and most of them have been planted in front of this small airship. It's okay not to be discovered by them, but once discovered, it is to receive a post from Hades.
James was motionless and prostrate in the grass, nervously watching the little airship that slowly flew through the air. The airbag is emblazoned with a logo on both sides, an abstract red peony flower, with a golden seal character "Zhang" in the flower. There are also several rows of huge Chinese characters "Choose Yuting Security, Keep Your Home Safe", and there are a few lines of slightly smaller words, which write advertising slogans such as "Ministry of National Defense Certification Company, No. 1 in the same industry", "Outstanding reputation, strong strength" and other advertising slogans.
Uh, that's right, this alert airship does not belong to the Chinese Army# side and the police # side, no matter how well the Chinese military and police can play, they will not advertise the company on their own equipment. It is an air service formation belonging to the non-governmental organization "Yuting Security Company", and it advertises itself.
The airship flew slowly through the air 2 kilometers away from them.
"Damn the Devil's Eye!" James looked at the airship with fire-breathing eyes, many of his companions had died under the guns or rockets of this kind of thing in the past six months. Although he hated it to death, he didn't dare to move at all. I don't know what kind of observation equipment is on this kind of thing, and the cover of the dense forest is not reliable at all, so it's okay to lie still on your stomach, but once you move, it's easy to notice.
The most terrifying thing is that these airships are even more terrifying at night, even if they hide in the dense forest and do not move, they are easy to spot, and the safest way to avoid them is to hide in a cave. The New Zealand Resistance, with a sense of hatred and fear, gave the airship the nickname "Devil's Eye".
James looked around, fortunately it was daytime, as long as he didn't move. Otherwise, once discovered by this "devil's eye", it will be followed by a stormy blow, even if you barely escape, then there will be helicopters and planes, as well as a large number of armed police and "hyena vultures" to rush to encircle and suppress.
Fortunately, it seems that their luck is very good this time, the "Demon Eye" did not find them more than 2,000 meters away, and flew southwest on its own.
Zhang Xuesheng, who was sitting in the captain's seat, stared at the computer screen in front of him, the screen displayed infrared images, the survey-5 model is more advanced than the previous model, the most brilliant and popular of which is not a missile rocket, but a passive infrared imaging observer. With this kind of thing, it is impossible to provide concealment for those targets at night, and because at night, the temperature difference between the human body and the surrounding environment is greater, and it is easier to find targets.
"Huh......" Zhang Xuesheng suddenly saw more than a dozen bright spots on the screen, and he immediately said to the observer next to him: "Stone, look at the 10 o'clock direction, about 1800 meters away from the woods, is there anything abnormal?"
