"I heard that our logistics department is in trouble?" Liu Jianfeng, who had just completed the combat mission on the front line, returned to the military command center located in Darwin Harbor and chatted with his direct commander Mo Xiong.

"It's just some white Australians are making trouble. They seem to be threatening with strikes, hoping to get a raise." Mo Xiong picked up the post from the country while trimming his nails and said expressionlessly, as if he was just talking about a small matter that was optional.

It was indeed just a trivial matter. The Chinese military combat command center had long expected this situation and had prepared relevant professionals to come to Darwin Harbor to engage in container loading and unloading.

Compared to these unfriendly white people, the senior Chinese military leaders trusted the Chinese workers recruited from the country more.

Since entering Australia, the Chinese soldiers have been in a state of rapid progress, with supplies and logistics following far behind, which is different from any previous battle that emphasizes layer-by-layer advancement.

On March 15, when the assault regiment pioneered the vanguard of 50 kilometers north of Alice Springs, the Chinese troops were finally blocked by the three thousand Australian troops.

The twelfth day after the landing war, the Australian Army finally did something to save face and give some heart a boost to the heart of the people.

What was blocked by these more than 3,000 Australian troops was the Fourth Battalion of the Assault Regiment led by Gan Daoguang. After being blocked from the way forward, Gan Daoguang did not choose to continue to advance. Instead, he tested the opponent's firepower intensity and combat intention after two small-scale contacts and tentative firefights.

Most of the more than 3,000 Australian troops were light infantry. There was no firepower support. The only ones were two infantry artillery and several mortars, but the troops were well-trained and had good marksmanship. It seemed that they were not ordinary militia units but regular Australian troops.

The opponent had a relatively favorable terrain and number of people. As soon as he came up, he beat the two Chinese companies that were testing firepower to a dust-like face. The soldiers could only lie on the ground and dared not move at will.

Moreover, the soldiers also discovered that although the opponent did not have any heavy fire support units such as artillery, there were many gunmen with superb marksmanship among the opponent's infantry. These sharpshooters used their superb shooting skills to prevent Chinese soldiers from acting rashly.

"Oh, it's a bit interesting..." Looking at the company that had just retreated under the cover of the smoke bomb, Gan Daoguang did not get angry, but instead laughed strangely. Because on both sides of the smoke, he found some signs of the other party's next move.

"Battery Commander!" Li Jianbiao, who had just been frustrated in the attack, ran over sweating profusely.

"I'm back, as an officer fighting on the front line, you have the most say. How about these Australian troops?" Gan Daoguang didn't make too much politeness and asked Li Jianbiao's most intuitive feelings in front.

"Yes, since the Kwantung Army of the Japanese devils in the Northeast, I have never encountered such an opponent. The soldiers are generally of high quality and tactical cooperation. If the opponent did not lack sufficient heavy firepower, my casualties would have increased a lot." Li Jianbiao rubbed the sweat beads that were oozing from his forehead and said it.

"Battery Commander. The enemy in front divided our troops to our wings and tried to surround us." A soldier loudly reported the latest changes in the battlefield.

"I just saw it, continue to monitor closely, pay attention to identifying the number of people and movement speed of the opponent's division!" Gan Daoguang waved his hand indifferently.

"Battery Commander. The White Devils want to eat us?" Li Jianbiao picked up his telescope and observed it at both wings before asking Gan Daoguang.

"Of course, I asked you to use only half a company of troops to test the opponent's firepower. Although I lost a few of my soldiers, we also figured out the basic ways of the White Devils. I tied your hands and feet to let you fight during the two attacks. When the other party saw that you were easy to bully, they would definitely think that the troops behind us were also easy to bully. Moreover, we only had more than one thousand strengthening battalions, and they had more than three thousand. Naturally, they wanted to eat our head-on skills!"

Gan Daoguang did not hide it, but answered Li Jianbiao truthfully. He only showed a smirk of a conspiracy on his somewhat unshaven face.

"I understand. No wonder you, battalion commander, tied my hands and feet to let me attack. I wondered if this wasn't a weak sign for the enemy..." Li Jianbiao, who was so angry, now knew what the guy Gan Daoguang, who had the most bad waters in the assault regiment, was just making a fool of himself.

"Hmph, war is true and false, the truth is true and false, the soldiers are indefinitely in a state of power, and the water is indefinitely in a state of being here for a long time. I don't understand the simple principle of waiting for us to do it! I really want to take the soldiers upwards for you, that's a fool!" Gan Daoguang is not stupid. He has enough firepower to fight, so who would use the lives of the soldiers to face the casualties in exchange for victory!

"Battery Commander, there is a battalion on each side that is circling around. Forty minutes, we will be surrounded by them!" The soldiers who had been in charge of observing roughly calculated that the Australian troops who were detouring on both wings immediately followed Shi Jiping's request and reported immediately.

"Very good, continue to observe and let the soldiers prepare weapons and ammunition for battle!" Gan Daoguang was still not in a hurry to retreat, but instead asked the troops to prepare combat supplies for combat preparations.

"Battery Commander, are you planning to be a nail here?!" Li Jianbiao became excited when he heard this. He originally thought that Gan Daoguang would retreat to a safer area to avoid the other party's Zhengsheng's limelight, but he didn't expect that his boss would start fighting when he came up.

"When the nails are fighting here to attract the opponent's battle, waiting for the troops behind to catch up and eat these white ghosts? Oh! I'm not so arrogant and squatted here and was shot by the opponent's shelling! I don't want to be a nail that is waiting for help, I want to be a sharp knife! Do you have any kind of harsh attacks?!" Gan Daoguang spitted on his face, but Li Jianbiao did not hide or feel unhappy. He thought that when he heard that Gan Daoguang was going to shoot a sharp knife, he screamed with excitement than before.

"Mr. Colonel, I am here to congratulate you on your congratulations and congratulations on becoming an Australian hero who will be recorded in history!" A major beside him showed joy behind the Australian troops on both wings that were about to surround the Chinese army in the middle, expressing joy in his eyes to the colonel beside him.

"It's not that simple. Auston, why do you think the other party will be easily destroyed by us?" Although the words were humble, the lust in his tone still betrayed the joy in the colonel's heart.

"That's not simple. The opponent came from a long distance. Without heavy fire support, there were no tanks or vehicles. They didn't even have heavy machine guns. In the battle just now, they not only could not form effective combat power, but also could not lift their heads pressed by our infantry and artillery, and they seemed to be unable to fire guns. I wanted to eliminate them only in the length of time for such light infantry."

"If you don't mind, I want to make a bet with you. I bet that the Chinese army surrounded in front of me can't support it for three hours, and the bet is the bottle of ten-year wine in your home." Auston confidently expressed his opinion. He also skillfully flattered the colonel's flattery.

If you can't take it within three hours, you don't lose anything. If you can't take it within three hours, the colonel will be very happy to give it to yourself half-lose and half-given. And you will also share it on the spot when the other party invites you, that is, you will win the happiness of your boss and will not let your boss give it up. This kind of thing is really cost-effective!

But Auston didn't know that in the two battles just now, the half company troops led by Li Jianbiao were struck with hands and feet, and the guns were not allowed to be fired, let alone fired. Automatic rifles are not allowed to be fired continuously, and grenades and mortars are not allowed to be used. In this way, it would be strange if the firepower is strong in the attack just now.

"Haha. Thank you Auston for your good words. I think you are right. I will lose this bet no matter what. But I need my soldiers not to be too fierce. I need some Chinese prisoners to make photo materials for the reporters behind them." The colonel was very helpful when he heard this compliment.

"I will ask the soldiers to keep some prisoners. I think in the Australian history textbook, we also need to use the photos of Mr. Colonel stepping on the heroic postures of the Chinese invaders to make people remember it more vividly." Auston seemed to have completely assigned the victory to the Australian army.

It's no wonder that the current force ratio is three to one. I am waiting for the effort, but the other party is rushing for a long distance, and the other party does not have heavy firepower support and only light weapons and equipment. Now I am surrounded by myself.

Although the other party can also choose to concentrate their strength to break back, Auston is more confident if he does this. Because the Australian troops who came to fight this time are all cavalrymen riding horses. At the beginning of contact, Auston discovered that there were not many Chinese soldiers who could ride horses, and most of the horses in the team were pack horses used to load ammunition, which made Auston feel more confident.

Can a person with two legs run a four-legged horse? As long as you follow from afar, after these Chinese soldiers run without any strength, the prisoners will not catch one after another.

"Tell all the soldiers that this is the first anti-aggression operation in our Australian history on the ground, and we will bring out some spirits! Not only us, but our entire country urgently needs a victory to stimulate the current sluggish morale. Young men, you will become heroes in Australian history! Let those Chinese who only know how to attack us know that the only ones who have defeated before were our militias, and we are invincible Australian soldiers!"

I have to say that from the military textbooks of any country, Auston's judgments and practices are quite correct, but he doesn't know that the army opposite is not an army that came out of textbooks, but a army with considerable combat experience under the harsh conditions of long-term actual combat and various enemy-we-we-we-we-injustment conditions.

Using common sense and the rules and regulations in military textbooks to measure this force is not a complete mistake for Auston. It is just that Auston used a wrong way to judge the opposite army in a wrong way at a wrong time.

"I never like to be a nail and be beaten here. I like to be a knife the most, break into the other person's belly and then stir it hard!"

When Gan Daoguang said this, his eyes did not look at the surrounding troops whose wings had gradually closed, but stared at the main defensive position that had just been "frustrated".

"Li Jianbiao, how sure are you, kid, to take it down at one time?" Gan Daoguang pointed at the Australian troops blocking position directly in front of him.

"Battery Commander. Give me two quick cannons a rapid fire and ten minutes, and I will definitely be able to rush up and snatch them together!" Li Jianbiao gave the answer without thinking. When he was suppressed tightly just now, he had already made a relatively accurate judgment and understanding of the opponent's firepower arrangement and approximate military distribution.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Where can I find you a quick cannon! There are no quick cannons. Only rocket launchers and mortars!" Quick cannons in the army mostly refer to the 25mm rapid-fire high-level dual-purpose machine guns loaded on armored vehicles. This weapon with a long tube and high-fire speed is not only high in the initial speed but also has strong firepower.

Usually, this thing is used to sweep the enemy's fortifications at a distance of more than 1,000 meters in attack. Even if the enemy hiding behind ordinary bunkers is wiped by shells, they will probably only vent and not intake.

"Company Commander, if you don't have fast guns, you have to support me in terms of troops. After all, it is not easy for the mortar and 40 rocket launcher to enter the range." Li Jianbiao also knew that his vanguard really did not have the second-five fast guns, and the armored vehicles equipped with these weapons were still following dozens of kilometers away. One of the reasons he said this was to get Gan Daoguang's words.

"No need to send any troops to support you. You charge in front. I will follow you with all the remaining people. From the small soldiers to me, the battalion commander, from the technical soldiers to the cooks of the kitchen squad, all the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion charge forward! I will help you put the mortar under the nose of the white ghost in the back!"

"Then you just need to have your words like Battalion Commander. When do we need to launch an attack?"

"Execute immediately! Listen to me, the attack is harsh. Now the white devils surrounded on both sides obviously underestimate the enemy. This is an opportunity. I want these white devils to know that it is definitely not an easy thing to eat us!"

Gan Daoguang's combat ideas were immediately sent to Mo Xiong who followed him after the report from the correspondent. Mo Xiong just signed a lightly on it and ignored it after reading it. He just ordered the armored troops in the battalion led by Liu Jianfeng, who followed him, to speed up the advance and follow up for support. The message was forwarded again and submitted to Wang Junfeng.

"Okay, you assault team. It's true that there is a trick!" Wang Junfeng waved his fists excitedly after reading the message.

"General, Gan Daoguang of the assault regiment is too brave. An infantryman in the reinforcement battalion wants to take down an enemy army of the opponent, and there is no mechanical heavy firepower support in the reinforcement battalion. If the battle is too frustrated, I am worried that the news will cause a stir when it is transmitted back to the country."

The combat staff were somewhat worried about the negative impact of the failure of the battle, because he hoped that Gan Daoguang would defend on the spot and wait for the arrival of reinforcements before launching an attack.

"Ha! Gan Daoguang did this to prevent such a situation from happening. The opponent is in full swing now. Instead of shrinking and being beaten, it is better to stick out and directly impact the opponent's core area. Even if it cannot impact the opponent, it can also make the opponent busy. Instead of being beaten passively, it is better not to let the opponent beat so smoothly!" Wang Junfeng's words not only affirmed Gan Daoguang's battlefield judgment, but also gave the staff a reassurance.

"All people pay attention, get a bayonet!" The command conveyed in a low voice on the fourth battalion's position did not have the impact of loud shouting, but a low metal collision sound represented the fighting determination of the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion.

"Don't it. It would be great if there were a few tanks to follow. If it weren't good, it would be comfortable to have a few armored vehicles. With just one charge, it would definitely tear the opponent's defense line into pieces..." A soldier from the assault squad said with regret.

"Stop talking nonsense. If we had two tanks or armored vehicles, the other party would have been scared away long ago, and we would not have divided the troops like this and gave us a chance!" The assault team scolded the innocence of their soldiers angrily.

The reprimanded warrior stuck out his tongue, and the relaxed atmosphere didn't seem to be about to start a battle immediately.

"All of them are veterans, with a distance of two thousand meters. Pay attention to the distance between the distance and impact speed during charge. The machine gun suppresses the opponent's firepower. The 40 rocket launcher and mortar should be followed up in time to destroy the opponent's heavy machine gun firepower points. The anti-equipment sniper rifle will give priority to destroying the opponent's heavy machine gun and heavy firepower units. Pay attention to the difference between offensive bullets and defensive bullets and grenades."

Although they are all veterans, such clichés do not make people disgusted. It is precisely because everyone is veteran, and preparing more points before the war is the importance of their own lives.

"Major, look, those Chinese people are attacking us again!"

The new changes have caused Australian soldiers to come out to see the new situation ahead. Unlike the previous two attacks, this time the Chinese no longer attacked a small number of troops, but instead dispatched a large number of troops to approach. It seems that the other party is planning to launch a general attack to try to resolve the situation surrounded.

"This is just a trapped beast. Pay attention to the fire density of the troops and focus on suppressing the speed of the opponent's impact." Although Auston was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he still had the defense he should have.

"Col. I need the support of artillery." Auston did not directly order the artillery to open fire. Although he had this right, he also knew clearly that when he should give the colonel face, he still needed formal orders.

"Go, Auston, I just want to enjoy the heroic performance of the young men here." The colonel casually handed over the command to Auston, because although he was Colonel Auston and his subordinate, the colonel knew very well. He was old, although he had participated in World War I.

But the tactics at that time were outdated, and now it is the era of young people. He is not an old antique who is ignorant of the times and does not know how to adapt. He knows that although Auston is ambitious, he is more capable. As long as he can control his ambitions, he can get more honors before retirement. Therefore, he only needs to stand on the high ground behind and appreciate the upcoming victory process.

"Yes, sir!" Auston adjusted his a little excited mood and shouted loudly to the Australian soldiers who were preparing for battle in front of him:

"Young guys, show your fearless courage to come out and let these ***ers know that we are the protagonists here on this land!!"

The distance between two thousand meters is not far and near. This is not far for the Chinese soldiers who are advancing steadily, and there is not much pressure for the Australian soldiers who are ready to go with guns. Because the order they received was to put it at 600 meters and then fire and then pay attention to maintaining a distance and suppressing it from a long distance.

Most Australians have guns in their homes. Even if they don’t have guns, they can get in touch with guns from other channels since childhood. For this reason, Australian soldiers have mostly had good shooting experience before joining the army. Moreover, the special environment in Australia makes the Australian government allow hunting, so the psychological quality of Australian soldiers is quite stable. Many veterans use special terms when stabilizing the team’s emotions to maintain their sustainability.

"Stay steady, keep calm. Don't panic, just think it's hunting. You are not aiming at people, but stupid Chinese wild boars one by one. Pay attention to their speed to be used in advance, pay attention to the shooting frequency and the speed of changing bullets, and pay attention to keeping the water temperature and not letting the machine gun be too hot..."

After entering a distance of one thousand meters, the two infantry light artillery of the Australian Army began to show its power, but although the speed of the infantry artillery was fast, the power was very limited for the dispersed formation of Chinese veterans, and the veterans could even predict the landing point from the whistling of the shells and avoid it.

In addition, the caliber of infantry cannons is limited, and the power of the charge inside the shell is not as terrifying as that of Chinese shells. For these Chinese veterans who often see the power of Chinese heavy artillery, it is just a small scene.

Within one thousand meters, the machine guns in the Chinese army have been set up. The tear-out ii machine gun equipped with a tripod has turned into a heavy machine gun. The heavy bullet allows the effective range of one thousand meters to give its troops more fire support and suppression distance.

The battalion's 86 mortars had been set up behind, and the shells carried in the battalion had been placed beside them, and the batch of extended-range bombs with increased charges were even prepared to give the two Australian infantry artillery the warmest greetings from afar from China!

When the first gunshot of this battle was fired on this land, perhaps neither side expected that the particularity and historical significance of this battle were enough to destiny that the battle would be recorded in history books.

At the same time, the comparison of troops between the two sides, deployment of troops, deployment of troops, and combat mentality before the war. Even the combat process and results will make this battle a classic battle in the future where fewer wins more and attacks the unprepared ones in the military academies of various countries.

The actual commander Auston, who commanded the battle, and his chief colonel, have indeed become an indispensable and famous figure in history books, but what they did not expect was that they remained in the history books as losers and foilers.
