"Yes, it's faster and smoother than I expected!" After receiving Battelle's report, Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Yuhe, Jiwu, the infantry can start attacking!"

Major General Jin Tieshan, commander of the first brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, looked at the cluster of flying tanks in front of his position, rolling up the dust in the sky, and rolled away. He touched his unshaven cheek and said happily:

"That's so damn good!"

"Brigade Commander, after receiving the order from the Corps Headquarters, attack immediately!" Brigade Chief of Staff Cheng Shaofu put down the phone and said.︾

"The whole brigade begins to attack! The little devil has been beating me for days and nights. Now, it's my turn to fight back!" Jin Tieshan shouted a few words at the top of his voice. The remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers of the first brigade shouted and rushed

After leaving the position that had been held for several days and nights, soaked in the blood of comrades, and still in disgrace after repeated repairs, we rushed towards the direction of the Japanese army.

At the same time, other brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, as well as the troops directly under the Corps, also began a full-front counterattack. Hundreds of thousands of independent division soldiers rolled through like a torrent on a front that was nearly 100 kilometers long.

Battle's tank jumped up a hillside. Suddenly, he saw countless Japanese soldiers approaching on the sand in front of him. "The kid's second-line troops!" He came to a conclusion instantly.

"Order, the self-propelled artillery immediately starts shelling, covering the Japanese marching column. All tanks stop advancing and line up. Start shelling!" Battelle immediately issued the order, and then reported: "Division commander, armored assault group in the middle, discovered

The Japanese second-line troops are approaching the front line, and I have ordered an interception and artillery attack!"

Lieutenant General Yoshio Kobayashi, commander of the 123rd Division of the Japanese Australian Front's Center Army, was also unlucky enough. He commanded more than 20,000 division troops. He had just received an order from the Front Army Headquarters and immediately went to attack.

Frontline. Take over the attack of the 85th Division.

The order was personally issued by Major General Akutagawa, Chief of Staff of the Front Army. The commander of the Kobayashi Division knew that Chief of Staff Akutagawa was the popular figure in front of Commander-in-Chief Ito. Therefore, after receiving the order, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered the division to march at full speed.

The dense marching formation of the 123rd Division had just arrived south of Kniston when it encountered the armored assault group on the center route commanded by Battle. Then, the Japanese soldiers, who did not understand what was going on, were attacked

A barrage of artillery shells and large-caliber grenades from self-propelled artillery blew the Japanese soldiers into pieces, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

The car of the commander of the Xiaolin Division was almost hit by a shell. He jumped out of the car in a hurry and shouted angrily to the communications staff. "Contact the Front Army Headquarters immediately. We are on the southern front line of Kniston. We were attacked by a large number of tanks from the China Independent Division."

and artillery attacks! Please give me instructions on how to act?" He cursed Chief of Staff Akutagawa fiercely in his heart, and why did he attack that? The tanks of the China Independent Division have already reached the front. Isn't this asking his own division to die?

?

At this moment, the headquarters of the Japanese Australian Front was in chaos. Not only the 123rd Division suffered this, almost all the eight divisions transferred from the second line and prepared to go into attack were attacked by the independent divisions.

The troops were subjected to ferocious shelling and tank attacks, all during the march. The chaos on the battlefield reached an extreme level. The current battlefield was already deep behind the center army's rear.

After receiving the report, General Ito immediately fell down in his chair. The situation became clear. Even a fool knew what was going on. The sudden appearance of the China Independent Division's chariot troops was the beginning of the counterattack by the China Devil Tang Qiuli.

, my own subordinates didn’t even know how many enemy tanks there were. They just said there were a lot of them, and they were everywhere, not just Chinese tanks, but also powerful artillery pieces.

The situation on the battlefield was already very serious. After an hour of artillery attacks, the forward offensive troops basically lost their combat effectiveness. The second-line troops that were mobilized were attacked by an unknown number of independent divisions before they reached their designated positions.

A car surprise attack, let alone an attack, would be difficult to switch to defense on the spot, as the troops were on the march.

"The commander-in-chief and the commander of the forward forces reported that the infantry of the China Independent Division has begun to attack. Now, they can no longer hold on and request the headquarters to issue a retreat order!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa said with a telegram.

"Oh, hmm?" General Ito was in a trance. "How many troops did the Chinese send out?" He did not forget to ask.

"I don't know, but it is said that it is all over the mountains and plains, with a total of 700,000 or 800,000 people!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa also heard the panic report from the commander of the forward troops. He did not know much about the specific situation.

General Ito's eyes were completely glazed over. "Commander-in-Chief, the current battlefield situation is very unfavorable to us. Please immediately issue an order to retreat across the board. Otherwise, the casualties of the imperial army will be immeasurable!" Akutagawa

The chief of staff became anxious and shouted loudly.

He was very dissatisfied with General Ito's performance at the moment. Is this a time of daze? Every minute, countless soldiers of the Imperial Army were shot to pieces by the soldiers of the China Independent Division. Nothing could be done, and the defeat was inevitable.

It’s decided, why are you still hesitating?

"Commander-in-Chief! Commander-in-Chief!" Seeing that General Ito was still unresponsive, Chief of Staff Akutagawa raised his voice and shouted again, "Are the troops waiting for your order?"

"Oh! Ah!" General Ito woke up, his face was frighteningly pale, and wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face repeatedly, making him look old and depressed. He sighed deeply and said: "Akutagawa-kun, we failed, give an order

Let’s withdraw the troops across the board and use Bodham and Mataranka as the assembly points. In addition, the troops on the Granitz, Waukop and Mount Isa lines will immediately enter the defense!"

General Ito did not even issue an order to allocate some troops to cover the retreat of the main force. He knew that even if a small number of troops were left behind, it would not be enough to fill the gap between the teeth and would not slow down the counterattack speed of the independent division troops.

It is better to retreat to northern Australia as quickly as possible to preserve more troops.

"What about the front headquarters?" Chief of Staff Akutagawa asked again.

"Haha! I don't want to be a prisoner of the Chinese!" General Ito laughed sadly and said faintly.

The headquarters of the Japanese Australian Front issued an order to withdraw across the entire line. Under the fierce counterattack of the directly affiliated corps and the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, the Japanese troops in the middle suddenly collapsed across the board. They were almost defeated like a mountain. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were thrown away.

Heading towards northern Australia.

By around nine o'clock in the morning, the armored troops of the Independent Division, the Directly Affiliated Corps and the Niangziguan Garrison Corps had pursued for more than 50 kilometers and captured Kniston, Mount Dolin, Barrow Creek and other places.

Tang Qiuli led the division and followed the troops forward. Along the way, he saw corpses of Japanese soldiers, abandoned guns and supplies, destroyed Japanese artillery, tanks and trucks, still emitting black smoke and residual fire.

.

The armored command vehicle galloped on the bumpy mountain road, dodging bomb craters everywhere from time to time. "Division Commander, after receiving a telegram from Commander Battle, the armored assault group has rushed to the Granitz, Waukop, and Mount Isa lines!" Chief of Staff

Zhao Yuhe reported.

"Are there any Japanese troops defending?" Tang Qiuli asked.

"Yes, there are many troops!" Zhao Yuhe answered simply.

"Order Battelle, Feng Jiwu and the brigades directly under the corps not to hesitate, let alone stop, leave some troops, and quickly annihilate the Japanese troops in the above three places!" Tang Qiuli said: "The Japanese troops in the middle route retreated across the board, even providing basic cover and blocking.

No, taking advantage of the situation to pursue is a great opportunity to eliminate the effective Japanese forces in the Australian battlefield. It is very rare. Tell commanders at all levels that the order from the division commander is very simple: pursue, pursue non-stop!"

Ito Yanzaburo ordered the defense organized on the Granitz, Waukop, and Mount Isa lines to be penetrated by the fiercely attacking independent division troops in less than five hours. More than 60,000 Japanese soldiers were killed.

The Japanese army was wiped out, swallowing up two main field corps of the Independent Division with more than 60,000 Japanese troops in one fell swoop. They did not stop and continued to pursue the retreating Japanese troops.

During this period, General Ito, who was also fleeing for his life, ordered the Australian Army Aviation Force to dispatch all combat aircraft to cover the retreat of the troops. Commander Lieutenant General Okazaki took on the heavy responsibility of putting out the fire. However, Lieutenant General Okazaki spent all his energy.

The hundreds of combat aircraft sent out to save the family were severely hit by Liu Cuigang's fleet. The two sides launched a fierce aerial battle in the chaotic battlefield airspace.

More than an hour later, the Japanese aircraft fleet suffered heavy losses and left the battlefield in panic. The aircraft fleet was only one-fifth of its original number and flew back. Lieutenant General Okazaki's air force tried to put out the fire for the Japanese troops on the ground, but they themselves were almost burned to death.

With the massive defeat of the Japanese army in the middle, the battle situation in the entire Australian battlefield has undergone a fundamental reversal. It used to be that the Japanese army launched a full-line attack, but now, it has collapsed thousands of miles in the middle. From the beginning of the attack to the present defeat, it took more than ten days.

, the number of troops lost exceeded 300,000.

After wiping out more than 300,000 Japanese troops, the central battlefield front has advanced to the Gordon Downs, Banka, Camuwell and Dobbin lines in northern Australia. It is very close to northern Australia, and the frontline of the troops is pointed directly at the Japanese army in Australia.

Great rear.

Tang Qiuli did not intend to stop. He took advantage of his troops' mechanized and rapid movement capabilities, the fierce breakthrough ability of the Battelle armored group, and the ferocious firepower of Zheng Yong's artillery. He ordered the troops to boldly intersperse and outflank the retreating troops.

The Japanese troops bit it piece by piece and ate it.

By mid-September, the Japanese troops in the middle route had retreated to Windekar, Bodham, and Robin River. Even the Gulf of Carpentaria, another anchorage of the Japanese naval combined fleet, was exposed in front of Tang Qiuli.

At that time, the Australian Japanese Army's middle route army suffered heavy losses and was severely weakened. It could only defend passively and almost lost the ability to fight back.
