Chapter 552: Fight for the First

Now the wounded soldier's right leg was blown to pieces, and the military boots made with cowhide are now filled with smoke and blood. //.com// From the ankle to the thigh, there are hundreds of wounds produced by the mine fragments and residues.

The most serious one is his right foot, which is broken from the extent of military boots, and he stepped on the area of ​​his foot with his big thumb.

Looking at the largest hole in the front of the military boot, he could not see his toes at all. All he saw was the exposed tone.

Crower knew that the injured soldier's right leg was aborted and lost his ability to move. Even if he could get the best treatment now, he would suffer from disability and cause inconvenience to walk after he was cured.

After sprinkling sulfonate powder and gauze for emergency treatment, Crower found that he was facing another serious problem, that is, how to deal with the injured person.

Now the entire army has been disbanded, the ambulance cannot be found, and the vehicles cannot continue to operate. And the wounded, who has lost the ability to move, cannot be thrown here to feed the wolf and let it die in its own way.

As a last resort, several soldiers from the same class found two branches and made a simple stretcher with their coats. In this way, the originally unfast march became slower.

Seeing this scene, Crower understood the intention of the Chinese to throw this mine, which was to block the entire army's speed of movement as much as possible.

It coincided with Crower's idea at this time, after everyone carefully checked the ground and walked forward carefully at every step.

The Chinese attack aircraft appeared in the sky again, but this time, these attack aircraft did not dive and strafing as usual, but continued to throw a large number of butterfly thunders into the sky, increasing the mine-branch density again based on the original minefield density.

At the same time, there were attack aircraft doing the same thing far ahead. Crowel felt a little disappointed when he saw it. The Chinese were too cruel. Not only were the other troops bombing in front of him, but now even the road to retreat was full of landmines.

However, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, Crower is now determined to leave here before the Chinese people chase him, because he can see from various Chinese methods that although the journey of rushing out is extremely difficult and life-threatening.

But once he couldn't rush out, Crower believed that it would be lifeless...

Crower is a veteran. He judged from various Chinese methods that this kind of playing is not an ordinary playing style, but a tactic and playing style that can kill all the things.

Even though Craul couldn't understand why the Chinese were like this, Craul had absolutely reason to believe that the Chinese would definitely not want to see more American soldiers leave here.

With the ultra-long-range rocket launcher in the rear and the mine laying of the Air Force, the speed of the US vanguard's evacuation of troops was significantly reduced or even stopped.

Although the US military soon discovered that although the small anti-infantry thunder, such as Butterfly Thunder, is a headache, the light fuse can easily cause casualties and be easily detonated.

I found some long poles and pulled them twice on the ground in front of the journey. The butterfly thunder that was detonated with only a few to ten grams of triggering force was blown up. In this way, I finally found a way to set out a way forward.

However, although this method is effective, it has its shortcomings, that is, the mine-sweeping materials are not easy to find. Some long poles that were finally found were quickly blown off, so I could only look for new materials to clear mines again.

Although the travel speed was much slower, it was finally able to continue to retreat safely.

Taking advantage of the speed of the opponent's evacuation force being blocked by the vanishing force, the assault regiment immediately accelerated its advancement. If the opponent was allowed to run ahead with support, it is estimated that all the officers and soldiers of the assault regiment would have to write a review letter to the Ministry of National Defense after the war.

"Captain, we have arrived near the periphery of fifteen kilometers away from Gaole. We found a logistics team of the Australian and American coalition forces ahead. Should we go around?" From the communicator of the command vehicle, the voice of the pioneer Gan Daoguanghe came.&*..com the fastest update **

"No need to kill the logistics team and rush into Gaole directly!"

Mo Xiong's reply came soon, with a clear and loud voice, but the content surprised Gan Daoguang and Liu Jianfeng next to him.

"Captain, if you beat Gole, it would be equivalent to notifying Gole that we are coming in Adelaide, dozens of kilometers behind Gole. We have been circling for so long, and there is a fourth largest city in Australia that doesn't fight it to hit Gole's outpost, which is not a fight?"

Gan Daoguang snatched the communication meter and shouted at Mo Xiong who followed behind. Along the way, although the assault group took advantage of the chaos to advance through the gap, everyone suffered a lot in order to keep the secret of infiltration as much as possible.

But no one complained about being tired, just that everyone was fighting a beautiful battle to relieve the anger in their hearts. But now Mo Xiong decided not to attack Adelaide to attack a small Gaole, which made Gan Daoguang unable to understand.

"I know Adelaide is the fourth largest city in Australia, but I know more about how much energy our assault regiment can have! With the people and weapons we are currently on hand, it is not realistic to eat Adelaide with a population of hundreds of thousands."

"What's more, Adelaide, as a large city closest to the Port Augusta battle circle in the Australian and American coalition forces, must have a certain defensive force. Even if most of the young and strong forces are sent to the front line, they will never be soft persimmons! You won't forget the battle in Port Augusta, hundreds of thousands of old men and women hid behind the house with guns in their hands and put cold guns to trap our assault regiment!"

Mo Xiong's words suddenly blocked Gan Daoguang and wanted to gather Mo Xiong's words to attack Adelaide. Mo Xiong's assault regiment was the main combat force that attacked the west coast of Port Augusta at that time.

They naturally remembered clearly that during the battle, the biggest casualties and psychological pressure on the soldiers was not the Australian troops on the opposite position, but the hunting rifles that might suddenly stretched out from the old man and his wife's houses living beside him or even behind him.

"I know everyone's desire to fight, and I like everyone else, I want to fight to Canberra, the capital of Australia now, but as the commander, I must calmly analyze and judge our own strength and the other party's strength. Attacking Goller is indeed more strategic than attacking Adelaide."

"But you have to see that Golecha is the outpost town of Adelaide. It is only more than thirty kilometers away from Adelaide, and there are not many defenders. Taking down our heavy artillery there can even directly threaten the city of Adelaide!"

"Not only that, taking Gole can also cut off the highway of the Australian and American coalition forces and withdraw the railway channel! After taking it, the pressure on the offensive from both ends of the Australian and American coalition forces will be much less, and you can attack and retreat and defend!"

Mo Xiong quickly expressed his intention to fight. His explanation allowed others to dispel the last bit of doubts and confusion in his heart, and he added another sentence later to make everyone's eyelids and hearts jump continuously.

"And after I took Gole, while defending here, I don't mind sending some troops to continue moving southeast..."

The term Mo Xiong's last movement is very particular. It can be understood that after taking down Gole, he sent some troops to actively approach the city of Adelaide, causing chaos, and it was impossible to send troops to attack on both sides of the main force of the assault regiment, which was the blocking river dam, to increase its defensive pressure.

Then the ultimate task of this troops is to put pressure on the city of Adelaide. There are many means of putting pressure on it. You can use your own mobility to roam around the city, shoot one shot and change another place to make the opponent think that the Chinese army can attack from multiple sides, or concentrate its forces to attack a point and make a sharp knife to bloom in the center of its internal center to create chaos.

You can even bypass the city and continue to advance alone to the rear and attack all the enemy troops you see. No matter which one you choose, the ultimate goal is to put the greatest pressure on the other party.

Since Mo Xiong's tactical intentions have been clearly known, the troops who first took Gaole's troops may become the troops that traveled into the sea and played in the water because they had more rest time.

It’s so boring to fight a positional blocking battle. Waiting foolishly for the opponent’s attack, the only way is to pull out your own mobile troops, use your own maneuvering ability to attack everywhere, and get the greatest result at the lowest cost.

After understanding this, Gan Daoguang didn't say much nonsense and directly ordered the troops to rush up and wipe out the coalition logistics team. One of the logistics teams composed of about a hundred trucks was wiped out without pulling.

After learning from some prisoners of war that Gaole was indeed as Mo Xiong had expected, as a small town close to a big city, there were not many people and defensive forces in the entire town.

The next thing was very easy. The vanguard troops didn't even want to open the way. They directly rushed into the Gaole Town as offensive troops, tanks and armored vehicles.

The closing battle of the Battle of Port Augusta began in the small town of Gole!

The news reached the rear of the Australian and American coalition forces, which naturally caused panic and anger.

With a crisp sound of porcelain, a good Chinese porcelain teacup was broken on the ground, and the wreckage that was completely crushed around proved that it did not fall freely, but was accelerated to the ground with external forces and gravity.

"I will not hold you accountable for why such a Chinese army suddenly appeared here. I am now ordering that no matter what method I use, I will immediately take back Gaole! Whoever is responsible is the first to rush forward!"

Patton, with red eyes, fiercely ordered the communication officer in front of him. He rushed to his head when he learned that Gao Le had lost his life and fell into the hands of the Chinese.

Although it is not clear at the moment what method the Chinese people used to appear behind them to take down Gole, Patton also knew that it is useless to hold the responsibility accountable now. The key is to immediately organize troops to retake Gole back and reopen the main artery connecting the front and back roads.

Otherwise, once the coalition forces are cut off by the Chinese, it means that most of the millions of Australian and American coalition officers and soldiers in the battle circle will face a desperate situation where there is no way out.

You should know that although there are two roads and railways in Yoonta and Bala, if you evacuate from there, not only will the distance be long, not to mention that the two lines have not been the main lifeline of logistics due to their geographical location and transportation capacity.

If the main force of the Australian and American coalition forces evacuated from there, the most basic problem of eating is not something that can be supported by the small towns along the way.

Just as Patton was busy dispatching troops to retake the town of Gaole, China did not stop moving forward or reinforcements.

In the sky, dozens of transport planes appeared above the town, airbornely dropping a large amount of supply supplies such as fuel and ammunition. Even in the evening, a group of helicopters from the First Army Aviation Brigade drawn from the Expeditionary Army rushed to Gaole Town with a group of soldiers and a small amount of supplies as reinforcements.

The airborne material operation of the transport plane continued throughout the night, transporting a large amount of equipment and materials to the assault regiment to enhance its combat effectiveness.

But this is not the point. The point is that who will be sent as the unit that will go out that night is the point.

In several houses in the town that have not been completely destroyed, the people here are fighting for the quota for the quota sent out to fight. Everyone has shown reasons to send themselves, and most of these reasons are how much combat effectiveness they have and how much experience they have on-the-spot response.

As the highest commander of the front line, Mo Xiong listened quietly to the reasons of each unit and the disputes between each other without saying a word. The cigarette in his hand was occasionally taken to his mouth to take such a sip.

After more than half an hour of debate, no one was able to come up with an answer.

The reason is very simple. The battalions and companies of the assault regiment have long-term, high-quality and rich experience combat troops. It is not easy to distinguish the rankings of each unit from its combat effectiveness, but the quota is only a small amount, and no one wants to let this quota pass by him.

At the end of the dispute, everyone simply stopped fighting, but looked at Mo Xiong quietly, waiting for him to finally rule that those troops were the main force of foreign combat.

"Are you finished talking?" Mo Xiong's eyes swept over everyone attending the meeting.

"I just listened to everyone's opinions as usual. The positive and negative aspects, whether boasting or exposing the shortcomings, are all good reasons and insights, that is, to analyze how to complete this attack mission from various angles. I think you all have your own ideas and good tactics!"

"The first battalion of heroes was born out of the second battalion in the Dingjiaopo Battle. It was strong in fighting style and dared to attack with weak force and forceful enemies. Whether it was offense or defense, it could be a heavy responsibility."

"The Fourth Battalion, many soldiers, including commander Lao Chen, are from the local troops in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu. Although their cultural background is the worst among several troops, they have rich combat experience and flexible tactics. They can also be competent for any kind of offense or defense in combination with current weapons and equipment."

"Although the Tank Armored Battalion joined the ** regiment the latest, it has the highest cultural quality. After the combat tempering of the Japanese devils in Southeast Asia and Japan and the current running-in formation, it is also a main combat force that cannot be underestimated."

"Although the first battalion of the main division did not speak during the dispute just now, I think the combat effectiveness of the main division is unquestionable. Without the support and cover of heavy firepower, our individual troops can only suffer a loss in the 1-to-3 force."

"Everyone has said so much, they are working hard to compete for the quota for attack. But should we think about it from another perspective: as for the troops we have at present and the heavy weapons and firepower equipment, and then look at the small town of Gaole that we need to defend and the extended defense area, what kind of troops do you think we need to defend here?"

Mo Xiong's words illuminate the bright light in everyone's mind like the current that turns on the switch. The meaning of Mo Xiong's words is very clear:

Gaole Town is not big, but it guards the two lifelines that are crucial to the Australian and American coalition forces, the highway and the railway. A large town has the benefits of a big town, but small ones also have small ones.

That is, you can reduce the defense range as much as possible to concentrate superior troops and equipment for defense. A self-propelled heavy artillery company supports defense against a ten-kilometer front line. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove that it is not capable of being able to do so. However, a defense line with a range of only three or five kilometers is relatively easy.

This is why Mo Xiong gave up taking Adelaide and chose the town of Gole. Instead of scattering troops and passing defense, it is better to concentrate troops and stick to a more suitable defense point and then give full play to more advantages.

It is indeed a waste of resources for mechanized troops to defend, so we must find ways to release them from the quagmire of positional warfare and let them play their advantages of powerful maneuvering on the vast plains of Australia.

"I chose this because Gole and Adelaide can also strangle the lifeline of the Australian and American coalition forces, and at the same time, they can streamline the defense and manpower to free up their hands to deal with the Australian and American coalition forces to the greatest extent. So I think that the first battalion, fourth battalion, tank battalion and guard division, four troops with their own advantages and specialties do not need to compete for any place. I decided that all four troops would be put into the attack operations."

"You can choose the battlefield to play by relying on your own combat characteristics and tactical advantages. Whether it is guerrilla luring the enemy, or breaking into the city to disrupt the opponent's position, whether it is attacking reinforcements or choosing an external defense line... I have given you enough command of the battlefield."

"There is only one purpose, that is, to make the Australian and American coalition forces absolutely unhappy and unable to complete their scheduled tasks smoothly!! It is to make them messy. Only by letting the other party put out the fire everywhere regardless of the fire, can we complete the tasks better and more proactively! Everyone, hurt these white devils!"

With a command, the officers responded to the promise. For a moment, the crowd was excited. Everyone stood up high and stabbed the target area where the enemy was with a firm and sharp eyes. Not only were there soldiers from enemy countries of different skin colors, but there were also countless merits and victories waiting for them!
