Chapter 1004: Fermentation
"Hurry, hurry, those Asian monkeys are attacking us. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" At the same time as this shout, a sharp and piercing whistling sound has been cut through the air. A series of shells smashed heavily on the Australian positions. Exploding shrapnel flew in all directions, sweeping everything in an elusive trajectory. The earth shook violently, as if the whole world had been distorted.
The scale of this battle is not large, but the intensity of the battle is not inferior to that of any battle. Life or death, the arrival of war often reveals such a simple and cruel truth.
Australians don't understand why the Indonesians are doing something when the peace of more than a decade has collapsed. Is a tiny island of Timor worth it? Ordinary soldiers do not have time to do the work of politicians to weigh the pros and cons. They had to deal with this surprise attack with all their might. The storm of artillery fire was fierce and intense, and the shrill whistling sound was intertwined with the loud explosions, high and low, one after the other.
The beginning of the battle on the island of Timor was not as great as the major wars of the Cold War, and it was not even a major war in World War II, but the lethality was not weak at all. Being killed by an aerial bomb is, of course, more spectacular than being killed with a rifle, but it is the same for the dead, and the final fate is the same......
The Australians who walked up to the attack entered positions that had been almost filled in, if that could also be called positions. It must be noted that this cannot be blamed on the Australians, Timor Island is not the 38th parallel, more than ten years, long let the lax two sides abandon the fortifications used to deal with the war, in this case who is the attacker who has the advantage, more unfortunately, Indonesia is the attacking side, but the bitter fruit needs to be borne by the Australians.
The sound of the landslide and tsunami finally turned from dense to thin, replaced by the suppression of high-speed machine guns, accompanied by the sound of tracks advancing armored vehicles, this sound with mixed sound effects from far and near, had to let Australia, which had just finished greeting God, to concentrate on coping, whether to fight to the death or surrender? Is this a problem?
Gunshots rang out one after another. The bombardment was followed by an attack, and under the night sky, the flares shone with a blazing white or yellowish light, dyeing the earth a strange hue. Scattered or strings of gun bullets are dark red and orange, flying from the forward trenches to the distance at a very fast speed, scattered small trees are interrupted by modern weapons, Australian soldiers know that their waists are not much stronger than these plants, as soldiers, everyone understands that real guns on the body, definitely not like in the movie, a little blood is over, more than a dozen shots in the body can continue to fight, only in a dream......
Peace has lasted for so many years, and when it comes to playing with life, many people's hearts are still full of hesitation. Raising the gun to shoot is more of an instinctive reaction, and on the spiritual level, it is indeed the Indonesians who have been educated for many years who have been bullied by the imperialists that are stronger, and the Indonesians have begun to attack, and countless figures are shaking in the barren land, and some can be seen larger than the figures, and the lethality and deterrence are also much greater - Soviet armored vehicles.
Heavy tanks in the rainforest area will basically not have much effect, Indonesia is equipped with Soviet main battle tanks, and Timor Island also has them, but they are still far behind, and it is enough to use armored vehicles as a pioneer.
On the Australian side, the scorching bullets rained down, and the approaching Kuroshio suddenly slowed down, and even reversed in some sections, but this situation only lasted for a short time. The heavily armored Soviet armored vehicles opened fire under the fire of the defenders, and the self-propelled guns that followed also stopped to carry out shelling.
The brutal battle continued, grenades rained down on the armor, and light and heavy firearms were firing desperately, but except for the grenades, the rest were like scratching the boots on the Soviet armored vehicles. In front of armor, an ordinary rifle is tantamount to a burning stick,
The battle was far from difficult, but only shocking to the inhabitants of the nearby villages. Ordinary people always sanctify the military, and in fact, European and American soldiers can surrender after completing their obligations. By the time the Indonesian army took the position, only a handful of unlucky people were corpses, and that was the result of hundreds of mortar shells and machine-gun fire.
How many bullets and shells a person needs to kill is a matter of probability, and 20,000 rounds of bullets during the First World War could only kill one person, so in the eyes of those trembling Timorese, it seemed like a catastrophe like annihilation. In fact, it's just that the momentum is more scary.
"This is aggression, this is a declaration of war on Australia?" Under a large burning tree, a white officer, whose face was flushed by the fire, loudly protested against the shamelessness of the Indonesian army, forgetting that he was now one of the captives.
It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not the commander who is embarrassed alone, under the background of the string of Australian prisoners around, the officer's image is still heroic, especially in the face of adversity, it is worth a thumbs up.
A couple of Indonesian soldiers with guns in their hands, wondering if this white man who talks about human rights and international law is sick in the brain, can you expect ordinary soldiers to understand English? It's still Australian, can't! So? How nice it was that when an Indonesian soldier in a dark green military uniform stepped forward with a rifle butt, the whole world fell silent.
"Liberate the territories forcibly occupied by the colonizers, the country and the people are watching us, move on." The commander of this army gave a shocking speech, encouraging the soldiers to continue to move forward so as to live up to the hopes of the motherland, and it has to be said that after Indonesia became a socialist country, this set of national righteousness also completely changed the temperament of the whole country.
The soldiers cheered enthusiastically, and they did not hesitate to do their duty for the sake of the motherland and the people. But they don't know what kind of international turmoil the battle on this small island will turn into, and now, they still don't understand......
The situation of Australians in the entire island of Timor is actually less than 1,000 people, and Indonesia has a similar force here. For this small island, this kind of power is a lot, after all, in New Guinea, it is the key area of confrontation between Indonesia and Australia, you must know that it involves hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land sovereignty.
The Indonesian troops who had secretly transported troops had already far outnumbered the Australian troops on the island of Timor, although Jakarta had already ordered that the problem should be resolved by intimidation as much as possible. But the Indonesian top brass also knows that it is impossible to completely bloodless, and they have already been mentally prepared for this, anyway, what are you afraid of with the support of the Soviet Union?
I have to say that the Indonesians are much more confident in the Soviet Union than Serov is in the Soviet Union. The Indonesian army, which had been divided into several routes, set off from its own control of West Timor, and had been on the road all the way, heading straight for the Australian garrison in East Timor, most of them encountering no resistance along the way, and the time it took to receive the police to prevent the puppet army from causing trouble for itself.
Throughout the night, gunfire rang out throughout the island, and as the day came, the fighting on the island was finally reported back to Indonesia and Australia.
The occupation of part of East Timor-Leste by the Indonesian army across the blockade is still not a major deal at this time. Timor is not a significant place in Southeast Asia, let alone the rest of the world. Hundreds of people can starve to death in Africa is unknown to the world, and is it fair that even a homeless man killed by refugees in Europe can cause a sensation? It's not fair, but who makes the people have no high or low, but the country is strong and weak?
Whether it is a friend or an enemy, it is one thing to shout about it, but in fact, it is still the recognition of national strength that is an important criterion for making decisions in the international community. If it is an ally, the media of European and American countries will sympathize with it. Similar to the enemy of the Soviet Union, the media in Europe and the United States will criticize it, also because the Soviet Union is strong, even if this strength is the enemy's. The cost of a weak country to get a picture in the international media is very high. A case that kills dozens of people in a European country can cause a sensation, and Africa needs at least tens of thousands of people to die, and the world is so unfair.
Compared to the war of words between Australia and Indonesia, both the socialist camp and the capitalist camp. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, isn't it just an island I've never heard of? And now the conflict can only be considered a border conflict.
Newspapers in the United States have taken note of the conflict between Indonesia and Australia, but because it is only the first day, no one knows how serious it is. Only a handful of newspapers have reported on it, which is far from overwhelming. The heat is not as dense as the coverage of the US stock market crash, let alone the density of coverage when the INF treaty was signed.
"It is really impossible for the Indonesian army to occupy 5,000 kilometers of land in one night. Maybe now Australia is ready to talk to Indonesia about ending the war? Although the media in both countries have taken a tough stance. Judging from our intelligence, it is basically impossible for the United States to put on a military posture to support Australia. Chebrikov arrived in the Kremlin with the latest information, and he didn't know the exact number of casualties, but he certainly didn't know much.
In fact, most of the places occupied by Indonesia overnight are unimportant places, and the so-called Australian garrison is only composed of white officers and New Guinean soldiers. The all-white forces are still far away.
"Australia may see Indonesia's move as occupying some of East Timor's territory in order to give its own country an account. Also, I heard that two thirds of Australia's presence in East Timor is made up of New Guineans. Maybe Australia doesn't care at the moment, but as long as the Indonesian army continues to occupy more land, Australia will not be able to help it! Serov sneezed, "Now this matter still needs to ferment, time will tell." ”
