Although he was full of expectations for the entire raid plan, Mo Xiong and the others did not have too many ideas before their combat ideas were approved by their superiors. What should they do should be completed as soon as possible.

However, when mobilizing troops and materials to allocate, Mo Xiong ordered the people of the ** regiment to adjust their supply and heavy equipment before departure to prepare for the response in advance.

Just when Mo Xiong temporarily forgot the combat application and was fully assisting the officers and soldiers of the ** regiment to complete the first mission of occupying Catherine, Wang Junfeng, an adjutant of the Australian Command of the Southeast Asian Theater, was very interested in the combat plan reported by Mo Xiong and others.

However, due to the great connection, Wang Junfeng did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he added his judgment to the Supreme Commander of the Southeast Asian War Zone.

The poor boy in the past, now an adjutant in the war zone command, stayed in the army's training camp, and later he was transferred to the airborne troops as a non-commissioned officer due to his tenacity. He is now in his early thirties, but he has been promoted to a senior officer with his outstanding merits and has attracted much attention from his colleagues.

All of this is because of Wang Junfeng's calmness and stability, and because he joined the army after graduating from university, he has excellent understanding ability, and soon showed his talent in military operations.

"Commander, what do you think of this combat idea sent by the ** regiment?" Wang Junfeng stood in front of Ji Xiaoliang, with a golden look, but his demeanor was not lost.

"It's very good. Although it will lead to the modification of our big plan. But the plan will never catch up with the rapid change. We still overestimate the strength of the Australian army and the population of Australia. Look at the town of Catherine they are going to take. In the other party's map, this is a town that can appear on the map."

"The data and satellite maps also show more dense buildings and human settlement facilities than other places. But what about the actual situation? From the current inquiry of Darwin, I found out that there are only 8,000 people there, and all the old and young are added."

"Faced with the other party's thin population distribution and military power, and moving forward step by step as planned is a waste of warplanes." Ji Xiaoliang affirmed the combat ideas reported by the ** regiment. A rare smile appeared on his face that was always rigid in daily life.

"But Commander, if we support their combat ideas, wouldn't that be there..." The combat staff beside him whispered to remind Ji Xiaoliang about something.

"I know what you mean. If we modify the combat plan we originally formulated, it will make people think that our combat command does not think enough and it makes us seem incompetent, right..." Ji Xiaoliang stared at the staff officer who spoke sharply. His gaze that was sharper than the perspective ray made the staff officer lower his head and speechless.

"No one can make perfect plans, and no one can make 100% correct predictions about the future. Although the slow speed that occurred in the current battle delayed combat aircraft, this delay is not a mistake. The combat plan you have formulated is a necessary means of protection when ensuring that all arms land on land and establish a beach."

"However, it seems a bit too conservative now, but with the idea of ​​not understanding the opponent and being cautious, it is understandable that we have determined such a conservative offensive plan, and this is also the plan I advocated from the beginning. If you have any questions, come to me first!"

Ji Xiaoliang calmed down his emotions and comforted the senior combat staff and commanders of the headquarters. His words made the staff feel a little comforted. As long as the commander-in-chief of the theater recognized their work and assumed the first accountability, there would be no problem with them.

Besides, the purpose of modifying the original plan now is to expand the results of the existing gains and increase the gains. At this time, who can say that they have insufficient plans in advance?

After putting down the burden in his heart, the combat staff of the Southeast Asian theater command quickly mobilized the enthusiasm to modify the current combat plan. They adjusted the current progress and limited supply equipment, and while ensuring the security and defense of several important areas, they dispatched troops to accelerate the attack and occupation speed.

In one of the information reported, the people at the combat command found an interesting thing, that is, on Australian land, due to the vast land and sparse population, the journey from one town to another is usually over a hundred kilometers or even miles to make the span.

For this reason, Australians have very high demand for transportation methods such as vehicles and horses. The command found that if this transportation capacity with local characteristics can be utilized, it will be a very effective means to improve the limited transportation capacity of the Chinese army.

However, this article is only used as a reference. After all, the actual command center is far away from the battlefield and does not have a lot of understanding of the actual situation. In addition to combat progress tasks, in many aspects, the command center only issues a more general handling opinion. The actual operation situation still requires front-line personnel to operate according to the actual situation.

The deeper you go inland, the more you can feel Australia's unique geographical environment and climate change. On land that cannot be covered by loose shrub vegetation, two cars are driving in such an environment one by one.

In this era when the overall performance of the engine and car is not high, driving in this environment is actually a very painful thing.

The endless rugged roads make the vehicle constantly bump. Although the amplitude is not large, it is definitely not a way to make the body feel comfortable. The members of the vehicle have no time to enjoy this comfortable process because they just escaped from death.

Among these two cars, the convertible military off-road behind is actually being dragged. The off-road vehicle that has lost its power output can only rely on the military truck in front to drag itself forward. Whenever it encounters a turn due to centrifugal force, the driver on the off-road vehicle will be extremely nervous to handle every turn.

What's even more terrifying is that both cars are overloaded. Needless to mention the off-road vehicle, the convertible car is already loaded with more than ten people. As the truck that opens the road in front of it, not only is it tightly filled with countless people in the carriage, but also pulls about ten people like Spider-Man in the carriage.

They were all Australians who had just escaped from Darwin Harbor, and their panic expressions were accompanied by their thrilling escape ten hours ago. And they said that these people had a common feature. That is, the clothes they wore proved that they were all soldiers, and there were a few people wearing US military uniforms mixed in it.

The two cars kept driving inland in the bumps. No one knew where the two cars were going. Except for the few people sitting in the cab, the others could only pray in a crowded environment and hope that this kind of physical and mental chronic torture would pass earlier.

However, after the two cars drove through a larger tree, the front of the truck was humming and gasping, and the engine stopped working after a few muffled sounds. Due to the bumpy ground, the vehicle was not fast and there was a tow bottle behind it. The truck stopped completely before it even slipped through a distance of 30 meters.

"How is it? Can it be repaired?" Standing next to the open engine cover, Thomson asked the driver who was checking the situation nervously.

"The problem is quite serious. The water tank has no water and the engine is overheated. If you want to repair it, there is no condition or parts repair. Even if you repair it, there is almost no gasoline in the fuel tank..." The driver closed the engine cover heavily. It seemed that this could vent his dissatisfaction with the truck's disconnection at such a critical moment.

"Damn, how far is it from here to Catherine?" Thomson was also very uncomfortable knowing that he would lose his transportation tools, but as the commander of these people now, he had to take the responsibility of a commander. He caught a third person who was also in the truck cab and asked an ordinary Australian soldier.

"There are about forty miles left..."

"Forty miles..." Thomson was a little worried when he heard this. If it was forty miles on weekdays, it was not a short distance, but it was nearly sixty kilometers. In normal times, if there was no transportation tool, humans would only walk for two days. If they were forced to march or rushed for a little speed, they would have arrived in one day.

But what about now?

Thomson had a headache and had a headache. These people in front of him were the scattered soldiers he met when he evacuated south after completing the reconnaissance mission assigned by the lieutenant colonel.

These scattered soldiers fled everywhere after suffering military strikes from the Chinese. In order to escape from Darwin's port, some people even robbed ordinary civilians of vehicles, and finally realized their identity as a soldier at the guns of Thomson's soldiers.

Whether they were really patriotic, found an organization or fell in love with several cars that Thomson and the others owned, these people have been following Thomson for this period.

Most of these people are still in a state of mental wilting after being attacked. In a professional term for the army, it means that morale is sluggish, or quite sluggish.

Not only was there a feeling of failure, but also the bumpy vehicles and the inability to rest and eat along the way also made everyone empty-handed and mentally exhausted, leading such a group of people to march forty miles.

Thomson, a strictly trained US military officer, knew how difficult it was. What's even more terrifying is that because he fled in a hurry, almost no one carried food or water, and no one even had a few guns.

"I think everyone knows the current situation. We have lost the last moving vehicle. We have to walk to Catherine. We must continue on foot along the way and we cannot do too much rest or stop. If we can encounter water sources or human settlements, we can only have a short rest. Now check our own things and throw them away. What should we carry on, and what should we carry on our bodies is the most important thing: guns, ammunition, and food water containers must be brought with us. We will set out in five minutes."

Looking at everyone's expectant gaze, Thomson did not have much to stimulate everyone. Most of the people who could run out and hold on to this day could maintain a strong will to survive. As long as they were given some hope and motivation, I believe they would definitely do it.

As for food and water, Thomson could only use his hand to pinch the small bag of biscuits in his pocket.

"Captain! Call from the War Zone Command!!"

On the other side of the command car, a loud shout made Mo Xiong's heart tighten. He threw down the cigarette butt in his hand and quickly ended his conversation with the company commander of the baggage company and ran back to the command car.

"Have the theater command agreed to our combat plan?" He asked nervously before entering the car.

"I agree. Commander Ji Xiaoliang not only agreed to our opinions, but also specially dispatched a batch of vehicles from the logistical unit to strengthen the combat endurance behind." The staff officer who had just graduated from the command college and came to the assault regiment to serve in the assault regiment excitedly handed over the order that had just been deciphered.

"That's great. Now which two pioneer troops are in front?" Mo Xiong immediately rushed to the podium and observed the map after seeing the latest orders and opinions.

"According to your order, the battalion commander of the first battalion is now walking in front with a reinforced company's troops. It is about thirteen kilometers away from our follow-up troops." The staff quickly found the locations of the two troops on the map and clicked out with his hands.

“Do they have vehicle travel assistance?”

"No, there is too much yellow and gray on this kind of land. It's dry season again. If you drive, it will cause a lot of smoke and dust to be unfavorable for reconnaissance marching. Therefore, the battalion commander of the first battalion did not drive a car and walked forward completely."

"Thirteen kilometers... pick me up Liu Jianfeng, and immediately call Gan Daoguang in front of me. Throw away unnecessary things and seize the time to force me to march. Be sure to run to the target as fast as possible."

The staff officer next to him picked up the ruler and two-color pencil next to him, and immediately started the calculation work under Mo Xiong's instructions.

In a short while, under the connection of powerful battlefield communication, several people Mo Xiong needed put their ears on the earpiece.

"Everyone, let me tell you good news. The headquarters agreed to our combat ideas. Not only that, the theater headquarters also specially approved additional vehicles to enhance our logistics endurance. Now I have a plan. I calculated the current total equipment and infantry load weight."

"I plan to marching with all soldiers as much as possible to marche and make more vehicles. The vacant vehicles will immediately return to the temporary supply ground, merge with the vehicles drawn by the headquarters and load as much materials as possible to gather at Catherine. I have ordered Gandaoguang to march forcibly to the destination, so that the materials transported from the rear for the second time will be arrived soon after our large troops arrive at Catherine."

"In this way, we can obtain the maximum supply of materials while saving a lot of time. After obtaining these supplies, our combat cruise time can be increased from the original ten days to nearly twenty days, and the combat distance can also be extended by about three hundred kilometers."

Although Mo Xiong is not a professional and systematically educated commander, he has a group of staff who meet the above conditions. He can easily calculate how long the material support can bring to his troops. Mo Xiong can't do such a job now.

"We have no objection. Team leader, we will do whatever we say!" Liu Jianfeng was the first to express his support.

"We have no objection, but Tietou only brought a pure infantry reinforcement company in front of him. You asked them to force the attack, and I was just worried about Lao Chen's side." Gan Daoguang, who was more meticulous in his agreement, also raised questions that made him a little worried.

"It's okay, I believe him on Tietou. As he has more combat experience than any of us, we only need to do one thing, which is to let the soldiers carry more loads and rush there to rest!"

After the multi-party communication, the staff officer in the command vehicle who had just graduated not long ago said with emotion: "How great it would be if we had enough helicopters like the North China Army. A distance of hundreds of kilometers is enough to travel back and forth..."

Mo Xiong was a little funny when he heard the advice of the staff. "You think it's beautiful. If helicopters are so useful, the Ministry of National Defense has long been equipped with every army. Although helicopters are easy to use, they consume too much fuel, the combat radius is too short, and the loading materials are limited. If there is no certain amount, they cannot play a lot of role."

"If the loading capacity of several helicopters can meet the combat needs of a one-day roster, then you can calculate how many helicopters our reinforcement regiment will need to run. Each weapon has its own strengths and also has its own weaknesses. The current situation is that the shortcomings of the helicopter will be quite obvious when it is pulled away from the distance."

"Not even more so on airdrops. Now everyone is still counting on the airport outside Darwin to build faster, otherwise our transport planes would fly from behind without even a place to land."

Mo Xiong's trust is not groundless. As an old commander with rich combat experience, he often fights guerrilla warfare. The troops raiding force marching at high speed are very familiar with and adaptable to this force marching.

After receiving the order, Gan Daoguang ordered the soldiers of the entire reinforcement company to quickly throw away their excess equipment. Anyway, the troops behind them would help pick them up. In addition to weapons and ammunition, they only carried rations and drinking water for a day and sprinkled them all over the way.

These are all warriors forged by regular military training in Hualian. They are both bloody and fighting spirit, fighting on the front line for the honor of the country and the interests of the nation, without any regrets.

The anti-Chinese wave that occurred in Australia also brought a feeling of mourning in China. Everyone was full of anger and was waiting to burst out here to let these arrogant and arrogant white people see the power of the Chinese.
