The Rise of Australia
Chapter 882 Cavalry vs Machine Gun
"Baga! When did those damn Australasians land?" In the C Division station next to the port, the division commander of this division, Major General Three Dogs on the Island, asked angrily.
His division had just received a telegram that the port had been bombed by Australasian aircraft and attacked by a large number of Australasian soldiers. At present, most of the port area has fallen under Australasian control.
Although he is only a rare major general among division leaders, this does not mean that the three dogs on the island are not senior generals of the island country. Of course, he also understood the importance of the port to all the island armies on the Ryukyu Islands. It was the only hope for retreat and the retreat for all island soldiers on the archipelago.
Once news of the fall of the port reached the soldiers, a drop in morale was inevitable. Once morale drops significantly, it will not be so easy to deal with the Australasian attack again.
"The Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Infantry Regiment quickly headed to the port and defended the port at all costs. The others quickly organized their armaments and were waiting for combat orders at any time." The three dogs on the island did not hesitate much and quickly issued the order. own orders.
The army organization of the island country is somewhat different from that of other countries. The army organization is mainly based on divisions.
The infantry regiment accounts for almost a quarter of the entire division's strength, which is close to 5,000 people.
Having an entire infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment go to support the port has proven how important this port is to the three dogs on the island.
On the other side, there was a fierce fight inside the port.
Because the paratroopers had already raided into the port, the planes in the sky also stopped bombing to avoid accidental injuries to their own people.
This also means that if you want to capture the entire port, you must rely on the efforts of these paratroopers.
But it is obvious that the previous bombing by the Air Force caused some panic to the island nation's troops, which also created the best opportunity for the paratroopers.
It only took the paratroopers more than ten minutes to fully occupy the entire port and annihilate the less than 1,000 troops stationed at the port.
"Leave two companies responsible for maintaining order in the port, and the rest will follow me to dig defensive positions. The real war will come next. We must defend the port until support arrives." After successfully capturing the port , after a short period of repair, the commander leading the army issued another order.
Capturing the port is only the first step. What these paratroopers have to do next is to withstand the pressure from the islanders and try their best to hold the port before the second batch of paratroopers arrives.
As long as they can hold on until the second batch of paratroopers arrive, the port will basically become a piece of fat in their mouths, and the islanders will have nothing to do.
As long as they rely on their ports to gradually encroach on the island armies on the Ryukyu Islands, these island armies will only face death.
Outside the port, trenches were still being dug.
But as the most important machine gun in the defensive position, it has been properly deployed in the defensive position.
The paratroopers carry a total of nearly 20 machine guns. Through cross-deployment, they can achieve a wider range and stronger fire coverage.
Even with only 20 machine guns, it can easily repel the attack of thousands of enemies.
Coupled with the firepower of the infantry and air support, even if the enemy's entire division launches a charge, it will still be no problem to resist for a period of time.
With the addition of more people, the digging speed of trenches also became much faster.
The soldiers first dug machine gun and artillery positions, and then began digging trenches.
Because time was too short, the trenches were not deep, just a barely adequate defensive position.
But if you are facing an enemy attack in such a plain area, trenches are still useful, at least they can effectively reduce your own casualties.
While the paratroopers dug trenches, aircraft in the sky began to conduct reconnaissance and protection. If the island country's military support is found, the bombers can also harass and buy more time for the paratroopers.
Soon, aircraft in the sky spotted the infantry and cavalry regiments supported by the island nation.
To aircraft, the island nation's military is like a living target on the ground. Although the island country's army also has a small number of anti-aircraft machine guns, it has no way to deal with faster aircraft in the sky.
The real battlefield is not a drama. It is not that simple to shoot down a plane.
Even if it is a wooden structure aircraft like the islanders, if you want to shoot down one, you have to have both luck and strength. As for an all-metal structure aircraft like the Australasia, in addition to luck and strength, it also takes a lot of life.
At least judging from the current results, islanders generally have a short lifespan. No one is so lucky as to shoot down Australasian metal planes with rifles and machine guns.
The harassment by the Air Force did buy the paratroopers more time.
The journey that was supposed to take about ten minutes took the island country's army more than half an hour to arrive.
In more than half an hour, most of the trenches on the Australasian side have been dug, and the paratroopers have entered the trenches to deploy defenses.
Looking at the defensive positions vaguely visible in the distance, Goro Inoshita, the captain of the Japanese infantry regiment, was a little dumbfounded. He did not expect that the Australasian army could occupy the entire port so quickly, and even dug a trench to block his own attack.
Looking at the well-defended trench in front of him, Goro Inoshita couldn't help swallowing his saliva. But thinking of the order of his superior's superior, the division commander Shima Sanken, Goro Inoshita could only grit his teeth and order the army to charge towards the defense position of Australasia.
"Totsugeki!" Many islanders shouted loud slogans and rushed towards the defense position in front.
Dadadadada!
Australasia also opened fire quickly, and the bullets that kept ejecting formed a line of fire, like a sharp blade, constantly harvesting the lives of the island soldiers rushing forward.
The island soldier who rushed to the front just found out that something was wrong and wanted to stop, but his body was knocked down by the soldiers behind him and moved forward involuntarily.
Obviously, the fire snake composed of bullets will not care whether these soldiers are voluntarily approaching or not. As long as they get close to the fire defense network of Australasia, the island soldiers will only end up with broken limbs.
This is different from the game. In the game, getting shot will only cause blood loss, but in reality, getting shot will really kill people.
Especially large-caliber machine guns, as long as they hit the human body, the wound caused is as big as a bowl.
The island soldiers who rushed to the front fell one after another, and the soldiers behind finally found out that something was wrong, and the pace of the charge slowed down.
"Baga! Where is the cavalry regiment? Let them remove the enemy's machine gun position." Lieutenant Colonel Goro Inoshita, the commander of the First Infantry Regiment, finally found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry regiment who came with him to help him.
Because the entire division was newly formed, except for the senior officers of these divisions, all other soldiers, including junior officers, were recruits.
Even the senior officers were not familiar with each other. They were officers of the Type A or Type B divisions before, and were promoted to the new division for various reasons.
If they faced a big defeat, not only would their position in the division be lost, but they might also face the accountability of the domestic government.
After all, the island country has not suffered too many casualties in the army since the war started. If the army led by Goro Inoshita becomes the first island army to suffer large-scale casualties, it will be a lot of fun.
It has to be admitted that the island government's brainwashing of these ordinary soldiers is still very successful.
Even if it only took a few months or even one or two months for these soldiers of the Type C Division to go from farmers to recruits, their loyalty to the island government and the emperor is still very high.
The cavalry regiment did not refuse Goro Inoshita's request and soon launched a charge on the defensive position.
But the islanders soon understood why the cavalry was called a declining force.
When facing a tightly defended machine gun position, the cavalry had no better way to break through.
What's more, once a cavalry broke through the machine gun position, the submachine guns in the hands of the Australasian soldiers would come into play and re-establish a more dense firepower network.
The cavalry are also mortal, including those military horses, and they will be injured or even killed if they are hit by bullets.
Under the coverage of such a dense firepower network, the charge of the cavalry has no effect except to increase casualties.
"Baga! Baga!" Lieutenant Colonel Goro Inoshita, the captain of the infantry company, could only curse inwardly while trembling with fear and sending a telegram to his superior's superior, the division commander Major General Sanken of the island, requesting support.
The current situation is very clear. Not to mention that there is only one infantry regiment and cavalry regiment, even if the troops are doubled, it is difficult to take down the defensive position formed by the Australasians.
Only if the entire division suppresses it comprehensively and forcibly captures this position at the cost of casualties, can there be hope of retaking the port.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that the islanders have completely lost air superiority, and their every move is equivalent to being exposed to the eyes of the Australasian army.
Soon, the news that the entire division began to mobilize reached the ears of the Australasian paratroopers, and the paratroopers also began to prepare.
The first thing is to gather more air support. In this era, the best air defense weapon is actually the aircraft itself.
Only by defeating the enemy's aircraft with more and more advanced aircraft can we effectively control air superiority in the sky.
Without a sufficient number of aircraft, it is impossible to rely on air defense weapons to make up for the gap in the sky.
As long as Australasia has a sufficient number of aircraft to harass the island nation's army, the island nation's army will never be able to fully attack the defense line, because this will expose their weakest point to the sight of the Australasia Air Force.
