"Attention all crews, the work is done, all return, escort fighter group, pay attention to guard against interception by the Japs' fighter jets, but don't tell me, all the bullets in your plane have been fired!" Le Yiqin piloted the fighter plane around the dock.

He circled around and seemed to be admiring his masterpiece. He was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke. Of course, fighter pilots are not rookies yet!

The mixed fleet of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division returned and disappeared into the northern sky with a rumble, leaving Mount Molloy harbor full of craters, black smoke and flames everywhere, a messy dock, and Japanese troops all over the place.

The mangled corpse of a soldier.

Lieutenant General Tanimura Ichiro, commander of the 137th Division, his face was blackened by gunpowder smoke. With the help of the guards, he climbed up with difficulty. Looking at the messy dock and the corpses of soldiers everywhere, he wanted to cry.

No tears.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the China plane bombing was only for thirty minutes, and at least four to five thousand soldiers were unable to stand up. The 137th Division, which had just been transferred from the North American battlefield, was inexplicably

Doom is on the line, damn those arrogant guys in the Army Aviation Group, why don't they have any Imperial fighter jets?

Lieutenant General Ichiro Tanimura, with grief and indignation, ordered the chief of staff of the division to count the casualties of the troops, and each brigade to reorganize the troops. At the same time, he sent a telegram full of resentment to General Ito, severely suing the Australian Army.

A statement from the aviation headquarters.

Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito was hiding in a cave. Hearing the roar of tank engines and the approaching gunshots from outside, he sent another telegram to General Ito, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, China Independent Division troops are attacking the Imperial Army."

The troops' shelling continued all night, and now they have begun a fierce attack with tanks and infantry. The Sixth Army and Seventh Army of the Ministry of Staff have suffered extremely heavy casualties, and I am afraid it will be difficult to survive today!"

General Ito's reply was just a few words. "You must persist. Now, the rescue force's offensive has achieved a major breakthrough. The China Independent Division's blocking force is no longer able to support it. You must persist until tomorrow morning no matter what. Imperial Emperor

The bushido spirit of military soldiers can overcome all difficulties! And Miura-kun, I will be at the northern foot of the MacDonnell Mountains, waiting for news of your successful withdrawal!"

At the same time, the 14th Army of the Japanese Australian Front General Reserve Corps stationed in Darwin, northern Australia, with more than 100,000 troops, was dispatched according to the order of General Ito. They urgently moved south.

The brigades directly under the corps engaged in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sixth Army and Seventh Army in the encirclement. By three o'clock in the afternoon that day, significant progress had been made. More than 200,000 Japanese soldiers endured artillery shells and armored troops for two days and nights.

After the penetration tactics, the last remaining troops were only 60,000 to 70,000 defeated troops, and they were all compressed into small areas. All heavy equipment was lost, and it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

After receiving the reports from each brigade, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. The progress of each brigade far exceeded his expectations. Now, although there are still 60,000 to 70,000 remaining Japanese troops in the encirclement, they have no fighting spirit.

, the remaining defeated generals, it’s time to free up their hands to deal with the main force of the Japanese army in the middle!

Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, the progress of the battle in the encirclement is much faster than expected. This is an excellent opportunity! Order, Armored Corps Commander Battle, from

From each tank brigade, take out a regiment and continue to carry out the task of encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops in the encirclement. Then, all armored troops and brigades will immediately drive towards the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains as quickly as possible!"

"Order, artillery commander Zheng Yong, all four artillery brigades directly under your ministry to leave the battlefield and drive to the north of the McDonald Mountains as quickly as possible. Each brigade directly under the corps will leave one after receiving the order.

The troops of the regiment will continue to perform the current mission, and the remaining troops will immediately break away from the battle and drive towards the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains as quickly as possible. Each unit will report its position to the division commander at any time!"

In the hinterland of the MacDonnell Mountains, on the battlefield still filled with gunpowder smoke, the armored troops, artillery troops and brigades of the directly affiliated corps, which received the order from the division commander, immediately left the battlefield, grouped as a regiment, at the fastest speed, like a wave of

Like a whirlwind, it swept towards the northern direction of the mountainous area. It looked hurried and chaotic, but in fact each brigade had a clear goal and could gather the troops while marching.

Tang Qiuli's move can be described as bold. He left behind tens of thousands of troops to encircle and destroy the Japanese troops in the encirclement. He used the main force of his directly affiliated regiments to attack the battlefield at Beilu. However, it was by no means a risk. Tens of thousands of troops in the encirclement were

The fall of the Japanese army is a foregone conclusion.

After two days and two nights of heavy blows, the tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the encirclement circle in the hinterland of the MacDonnell Mountains were already fragmented, incompletely organized and defeated soldiers. Their fighting spirit was completely gone and they had almost no power to fight back. Naturally, he would not waste his strength and time.

, wasted on this.

"Yamahe, all the brigades, armored troops and artillery of the directly affiliated corps have begun to take action. It's time for us to leave and meet Commander-in-Chief Ito Yanzaburo!" Tang Qiuli put on his military uniform and smiled at Chief of Staff Zhao

Yuhe said.

At this time, the blocking battle in the northern part of the McDonnell Mountains was at its most critical moment. General Ito put the last reserve force that had just arrived on the battlefield today, the 14th Army, with more than 100,000 troops, into the attack on the lady.

During the attack by the Guan garrison.

General Ito's thoughts at this moment were no longer just to rescue the Sixth and Seventh Army. In fact, from the telegram from the deputy commander of the offensive force in the center and the commander of the Sixth Army, Miura Kazuhito, he realized that even if he opened the

In the northern part of the McDonald Mountains, the independent division's blockade may have passed through the independent division's troops in the hinterland of the mountainous area. After two days and two nights of siege, the two armies were left with very few troops. From the purpose of the campaign, rescue was of little significance.

.

After realizing this, General Ito's dominant thinking changed. He would use all available troops to fight with the independent division troops in the MacDonnell Mountains in advance for a decisive battle that would affect the Australian war. If it were done here,

, severely damage or defeat the independent division troops, then the battlefield situation of the entire Australian counterattack will change in a direction that is beneficial to the imperial army.

The more than 900,000-strong Central Army can be freed up to join the East and West Routes in either direction, which will cause devastating blows to the troops of the China Independent Division on the East and West Routes. It can also be used all the way from the Central Route.

Going south and capturing Adelaide, no matter which direction the central army is used in, will lay the foundation for Australia's decisive victory in advance. To this end, all the reserve forces of the Imperial Australian Front will be invested, no matter how much casualties it costs.

General Ito issued a strict order to the commanders of all participating troops, "Each army should take turns to fight in elite divisions or brigades, maintain uninterrupted attacks, and not give the enemy a chance to breathe, let alone the casualties of soldiers.

Determined to use the brave and fearless fighting spirit of the Imperial Army soldiers to completely crush the resistance will of the Chinese soldiers, and finally achieve a fundamental victory in the decisive battle in Australia!"

"All commanders at all levels who are hesitant or slow to question during the attack will be dismissed from their posts on the spot and handed over to the military police headquarters to be convicted after the war!" General Ito's order is very clear, it is to risk human lives.

, but also to crush the independent division troops. If the commander considers the casualties of the troops and does not resolutely carry out his orders, he should be dismissed from office first and imprisoned later!

Under such strict orders, Japanese commanders at all levels would never dare to have the slightest objection or question, and they would not take the lives of soldiers seriously. Japanese officers at all levels went crazy, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were numb.

, only the instinctive attack is left to attack again.

Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese army, which had more than twice its own strength, the pressure on the regiments guarding Niangziguan increased sharply, and the casualties of each brigade continued to increase. Commander Feng Jiwu, who received the report, still looked calm as usual, and continued to fight.

Beforehand, we had fully estimated the difficulty of this blocking battle. It was not surprising that the Japanese army launched such a crazy attack. Therefore, the contents of the orders given to each brigade were basically the same, "Resolutely defend and not give up an inch of ground!"

Dusk once again fell on the northern battlefield in the McDonald Mountains. The day's bloody battle finally came to a temporary halt as darkness fell. The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood permeated every corner of the battlefield. On the forward positions, the bodies of Japanese soldiers were everywhere.

Major General Jin Tieshan, commander of the first brigade, leaned in the trench, spit out the dust from his mouth, shook his head and said to the brigade chief of staff Cheng Shaofu: "Chief of Staff, the little devil is crazy, damn, within one day,

They actually launched the first attack on the scale of a brigade, and the artillery fire was fierce. By the way, what are the casualties of the troops?"

Cheng Shaofu took a breath of air full of gunpowder smoke and replied: "The casualties of the last repulse of the Japanese army have not been counted yet. According to the statistics of previous battles, the casualties of each regiment are not small, and the number of casualties is only a quarter."

Around 1,000 casualties were estimated at more than 4,000 people, of which more than 1,300 were killed!"

"Damn it!" Jin Tieshan cursed in a low voice. The blocking battle lasted for three days, and the first brigade defeated a main regiment. This was one of the few times in his many years of battlefield career that he had seen a small group.

When the devil is so crazy.

"Pass my order, all regiments should not rest tonight, repair and strengthen the fortifications overnight, we must be mentally prepared for a long period of resistance!" Jin Tieshan said to Cheng Shaofu, "In addition, the casualties of the first brigade

, report to the headquarters, but it must be explained that even if the first brigade is completely destroyed, my body, Jin Tieshan, is still lying on the position!"

He was mentally prepared. When he repelled the last Japanese attack, he even sent the brigade guard battalion. As a major general and brigade commander, he also entered the battle with a submachine gun. On such a cruel battlefield, bullets and artillery shells, but

I don't know who the major general brigade commander is.

However, going into battle to kill the enemy in person made Jin Tieshan regain his previous feeling. How should I put it, exciting and exciting!
