Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2961 South Australia Destruction Battle (1)

Among the more than 300 Japanese prisoners of war captured by the special operations detachment and the 1st Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion of the Direct Regiment during the battle to capture Berry Airport in South Australia, the Japanese ground staff were quite honest, including the commander of the 17th Air Force.

More than a hundred Japanese pilots, including Major General Noguchi, are die-hard elements.<

Therefore, Major General Noguchi decided to riot and received an immediate response. Even the hesitant Japanese prisoners of war did not dare to speak out against it. According to Major General Noguchi's plan, he first deceived the sentries of the independent division who were on guard to come over, and then made a sudden attack to seize the guns, and rushed

After leaving the warehouse, he rushed towards the combat aircraft desperately, no matter what method he used, and started a fire. He was familiar with everything at Berry Airport. Major General Noguchi believed that it would be easy to do it!

"Hey! Come here, I want to see your commander! I have important information to report!" A Japanese pilot who knew a little bit of Chinese, at the signal of Major General Noguchi, turned towards the two independent division soldiers standing guard not far away.

But he shouted loudly.

The two sentries exchanged glances. It may be that the "important information" attracted their attention. One of the sentries came over vigilantly. The Japanese pilot eagerly pushed through the door crack that was almost a foot wide.

He was waving his hands and his face was purple, as if someone was desperately trying to stop him behind him.

The sentry came closer, but the Japanese pilot's Chinese was extremely stiff and unclear. The sentry couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but get closer. Suddenly, several hands stretched out from the crack in the door and grabbed his clothes tightly.

, and tried desperately to grab the submachine gun in his hand and take off the grenade on his body.

The sentry struggled desperately to prevent the Japanese prisoners from succeeding. The sound of fighting alerted another sentry, who raised his submachine gun. However, his comrade was unable to move in front of the gate and could not fire. The sentry hurriedly shouted

: "Come quickly! The little Japanese prisoner is trying to grab the gun!"

The soldiers of the Independent Division at other sentry posts hurriedly ran over and surrounded the warehouse, but the sentry who was deceived had been strangled to death by the Japanese prisoners of war. However, before losing his life, the sentry tightened his submachine gun.

He held him tightly in his arms, but the Japanese prisoners of war were unable to snatch them away, and he threw the grenade hanging on his waist far away. The rioting Japanese prisoners of war lost their lives.

When Li Kaizhi received the report and rushed to the large warehouse where Japanese prisoners of war were held, he saw the body of the sentry and his murderous intention suddenly surged out. However, he suppressed the anger in his heart and rushed to the supreme commander here.

Report by Wu Zhenjiang.

After listening to Li Kaizhi's story, Wu Zhenjiang's face suddenly became livid, and he roared: "Captain Li, do you still need to ask for instructions on such a matter? The gun in your hand is just a decoration? Could it be that you are directly under the corps?

Soldier, don’t you know the old rules of our independent division?”

Li Kaizhi was yelled at by Wu Zhenjiang and was speechless. He thought that he was right to ask for instructions. After all, the reconnaissance battalion was temporarily under the command of Wu Zhenjiang. It was against the rules not to ask for instructions on such a matter. If he was leading the team alone, why should he ask for instructions?

One bullet and that’s all?

"What are you looking at?" Wu Zhenjiang continued to yell, "Write the report first. The Japanese prisoners of war captured at Berry Airport conspired to riot and killed many of our guards during their detention. In order to stop the riots of the Japanese prisoners of war, Su

Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, commander of the Army Air Force of the Lu Mobile Corps, authorized the airport security force to suppress the rioting Japanese prisoners of war. Okay, I don’t want to see those little bastards anymore, so do it more efficiently!"

"Yes, Airport Security Battalion Commander Li Kaizhi will resolutely carry out the commander's orders!" Li Kaizhi jumped for joy and left happily.

After a while, Wu Zhenjiang heard a burst of short and intensive gunshots. He muttered contemptuously, "I didn't plan to feed you Japanese bastards in vain. I took the initiative to seek death, just in time to help you return to your hometown in Japan!"

The attempted riot by the Japanese prisoners of war at Berry Airport was just an insignificant splash in the entire Australian campaign. When the report was sent to the Australian campaign commander Tang Qiusheng, he just said lightly, "

For the sake of some Japanese prisoners of war, many guardsmen died. It is not worth it. The order goes down and other troops will take a warning!"

Tang Qiusheng's attention is now in four directions. One is the thousands of Japanese independent third brigade trapped on the other side of Bass Strait on the island of Tasmania. The other is stationed in Northeastern Melbourne.

The remaining troops of the Japanese 45th Division in Gopalli, plus the Japanese garrison troops in surrounding areas, totaled about 8,000 troops.

The last one, and the most important one, is that according to intelligence, we learned that starting from yesterday evening, the line of Boao Dun and Ararat, about 200 kilometers northwest of Melbourne, which was originally going to reinforce Adelaide, has stalled.

The main force of the Japanese 40th Division and the 45th Division together totaled about 36,000 to 7,000 people.

The other way is from Ivanhoe to urgently reinforce the Japanese 40th Division in Adelaide, with more than 24,000 troops. On this way, Battelle, Yu Guanghan, and Xin Xiguo had already planned and prepared

Fight a war of annihilation and completely eliminate the Japanese 40th Division.

In about two weeks, through a series of battles, the main force of the Japanese army in South Australia was eaten up. Together with the three Japanese aviation groups that had been annihilated before, South Australia was under its control. Then, with

This is the rear base, and you can advance to central and northern Australia!

Tang Qiusheng's thinking was clear. He led the Corps and entered the city of Melbourne. Melbourne was basically not damaged by the war. The market was still very depressed. Those who had just regarded the Japanese as their masters for less than a year

Australians, they didn’t expect that overnight, Melbourne would change its owner again. What is the new owner’s temperament, what are his preferences, and Melburnians who have breasts are their mothers, they still couldn’t figure it out for the time being, so they chose to keep their heads down and wait and see.

Tang Qiusheng's Australian campaign headquarters is located in the city of Melbourne. The former owner of the most spacious and sunny office in the division headquarters building of the 43rd Japanese Division was the division commander Terao.

Lieutenant General.

Entering the spacious and luxurious office, Tang Qiusheng shook his head slightly, smiled and said to Guan Zhijun, Director of the Operations Department of the Corps Headquarters and Director of the Operations Department of the Australian Campaign Command: "I said Director Guan, if I am in such a luxurious

I’m used to staying in my office, what should I do if I don’t want to leave? By the way, your combat department has also settled here, isn’t it just for personal gain?”

Guan Zhijun hurriedly explained: "Deputy Division Commander, this is not the intention of our Operations Department, but the intention of Director Tian of the Logistics Department. Of course our Operations Division must be with the Deputy Division Commander. It's a borrowing opportunity!"

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiusheng laughed and said: "Well, since it is the good intention of the Logistics Department, but it is disrespectful, let's get down to business and convey the following orders. The first brigade will be responsible for the security mission of Melbourne, and the brigade commander Guo Fengqi will be responsible for the security of Melbourne.

The position of commander!"

"The 2nd to 7th brigades, the 1st, 3rd and 4th Armored Brigades, immediately move west from Melbourne, with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th brigades and the 1st Armored Brigade on the left,

The 5th, 6th and 7th brigades and the 3rd Armored Brigade are on the right and will immediately outflank the Boaotun and Ararat lines. The above-mentioned troops must arrive at the designated position at 11 o'clock tomorrow night!"

"The original missions of the 8th and 9th brigades attacking Albury and the 2nd Armored Brigade remain unchanged. In addition, Fleet Commander Tang is informed to suspend the attack on the Japanese 43rd Brigade on the Boao Dun and Ararat lines.

The air raids of the Division and the 45th Division should be carried out without alerting the Japanese troops! Also, I would like to ask Commander Tang whether the thousands of Japanese troops on Tasmania have been dealt with?"

Attacking the main forces of the two Japanese divisions stranded on the front lines of Boaodun and Ararat was Tang Qiusheng's latest battle plan after receiving intelligence from reconnaissance planes in the early hours of this morning.

According to the plan previously agreed with Tang Qiuquan, after dawn today, a fleet of carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched to conduct a large-scale air attack on the Japanese troops in the two places above, so that the troops will be greatly damaged before they reach Adelaide.

Thus reducing the pressure on Battelle’s troops,

But tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers suddenly stopped leaving and showed no signs of returning to help Melbourne. This gave Tang Qiusheng the idea of ​​​​this Japanese army, and also the main force of the Sulu Mobile Corps after occupying Melbourne, outflanked and left behind

Got the chance.

Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Japanese Army in Australia, ordered the three main divisions in the south to stay put. Judging from the actual situation on the battlefield in southern Australia, it was definitely a stupid decision. The Japanese army lost all three Army Air Forces.

, air superiority was completely lost, tens of thousands of soldiers were stranded in the field, not knowing what to do next, and missed the opportunity to avoid the offensive edge of the independent division.

With the fall of Adelaide and Melbourne, the Independent Division's landing force was huge. It had formed a battle encirclement situation against the three Japanese divisions staying between the two places, mainly Battelle's troops and Tang Qiusheng's troops, fighting in both directions.

If they advance, the Japanese army will have no way to escape.

Lieutenant General Morishita seemed to be safe but also included shirking responsibility, which laid the foundation for the annihilation of the Japanese 40th Division, 43rd Division and 45th Division of South Australia. He believed that commanding the troops

Staying where you are and waiting for the decision from the base camp is the safest approach.

However, Lieutenant General Morishita forgot that it takes time for the base camp to make decisions, and the efficiency is always not high. Moreover, the base camp needs to consider not only South Australia, but also the sudden attack of the independent division troops on Australia.

It is the entire Southwest Pacific region, and even involves the main force of the Imperial Army on the North American battlefield.

Lieutenant General Morishita was anxiously waiting for orders from the base camp. The three division commanders who were on standby were also waiting boredly for orders from the Australian Army Headquarters. Little did they know that hundreds of thousands of independent division troops had already left Adelaide.

Ryder and Melbourne surrounded him.
