readx; In Darwin, northwest Australia, a city full of Western architectural style, there were a large number of people wearing yellow uniforms, spitting black smoke Type 98 medium tanks and soldiers walking through the streets one by one, they carried the posture of victors, and on both sides of the street were some lonely white people, these Westerners looked at these soldiers on the street, and their expressions were complicated.

In any case, he said, 'I finally broke through the lines of the British and American forces, crossed the sea and landed in the northern part of Australia, and appeared in a city like Darwin.

In June 1942, he said, "In the landing operation launched against Australia, because the scale was extremely large, it was not confined to one place, but successively carried out a preliminary landing on the Cape York Peninsula in northeastern Australia, and when it attracted the attention of a large number of British and American garrisons, it said, "Ben chose to launch a large-scale landing in a remote place in the northwest region of Australia, and although the landing force was blocked by the coastal garrison, there were not many, and the landing was said." The army soon launched a fierce attack in the north-east direction, and then captured Darwin with lightning speed, thus gaining the first real foothold in the north-west region of Australia, which was also used by Ben to send a large number of supplies and reinforcements to the north-west of Australia.

Among the reinforcements were also a small number of armored units in the army, which formed a mechanized corps with Type 98 medium tanks and Type 96 light tanks as the core, and began to penetrate deep into the northwest region of Australia.

The reason why Ben was able to go so smoothly in the landing operation in Australia was not only that the navy firmly controlled the sea and the British and American navies were kept out, but also because the ground strength of the British and American coalition forces was not too strong, and although the British and American coalition forces continued to reinforce troops in the Pacific theater, the two sides had fought fiercely in the previous battles for large and small islands, especially for the island of New Guinea and nearby islands. Although they are far inferior to the Anglo-American coalition forces in terms of weapons and equipment, the spirit of the Eastern soldiers fighting to the end is something that Western soldiers can never experience.

In addition, although the Chinese Army has been defeated twice by the hands of the Chinese Army, it does not mean that the Chinese Army has no combat effectiveness, on the contrary, it has always regarded the Chinese Army as its greatest potential enemy, and the Chinese Army has been concentrating on how to defeat the Chinese Army throughout World War II, and has developed many tactics according to the characteristics of both sides.

For example, in order to confront a large number of mechanized troops in the Chinese army, it was said that "on the one hand, the army is developing its own mechanized troops, but due to the limitations of its own national strength, it is doomed" that it is impossible to build a mechanized corps that can always resist China's armored forces, so it still returns to the old road, that is, repeatedly strengthens the infantry anti-tank capability.

People of no nationality are inherently stupid, even if the Chinese boast that the Chinese nation is the best nation, then the Germans say that the Germanic nation is the first nationality, but no one is born worse than others, and the reason why there is a difference between strength and weakness is that some people have the opportunity and foundation for development, while others do not.

He said, "I am not stupid, and they are very good at learning the technical means of the strong, especially in modern times, the industrialization progress of this is very fast, and the fundamental reason is that they have a learning mentality." In the two Sino-Chinese wars, many new things appeared in China, such as tanks and aircraft carriers, and the first country to pay attention to was neither Britain nor the United States, but the United Kingdom. For example, it is said that "after suffering enough from aircraft carriers in the Second Sino-Chinese War, the current navy built a naval aviation force that is the second largest in the world in just ten years, and even used this powerful naval aviation force to sweep the British and American navies."

To put it bluntly, on this day in June 1942, it was said that "this navy deserves the title of the second in the world, and the British navy has declined, so there is no need to worry, and the strength of the US navy has shrunk to the point where it cannot threaten the existence of this navy after losing several aircraft carriers and before a large number of aircraft carriers are commissioned next year."

Now on this earth, if the total tonnage of the navy, China, Britain and the United States are still close to each other, but this aircraft carrier has dominated the era of naval warfare, the Chinese Navy is undoubtedly the undisputed first in the world, the Chinese Navy has a total of 14 fleet-type aircraft carriers of various types of new and old aircraft carriers, two of which are huge, with a combat displacement of up to 60,000 tons of Tianshan-class aircraft carriers, and the other four are China's latest cutting-edge, and they are also the largest number of constructions, with a standard displacement of 27,000 tons. A Aoyama-class aircraft carrier with a combat displacement of up to 34,000 tons.

These fourteen aircraft carriers alone are enough to challenge the current global navy, not to mention the numerous aircraft carriers currently under construction on slipways in major shipyards along China's coast.

This navy is what Chen Jingyun is preparing to use to confront the US Navy, which is also in the midst of a major expansion, and is preparing to compete with the United States for the title of the world's largest navy.

Of course, the U.S. Navy is now extremely weak, and can only rely on what little strength it has left to resist the attack of the Navy.

At present, there is no doubt that the overall combat strength of this navy is the second in the world, second only to the Chinese navy.

Such a huge navy has fully embodied the mentality of learning from the strong, and the navy is like this, and so is their army, saying that "many of the weapons and even tactics of this army are imitations of the Chinese army, and they do not feel humiliated in learning from their own enemies, but take it for granted, they want to learn from the Chinese army, and then defeat the Chinese army."

However, the strategy of developing aircraft carriers was almost supported by the emperor and the common people, while the army had been relegated to the existence of a local garrison in the thirties due to two defeats, so the army's funds were far less adequate than those of the navy.

Under the circumstance of limited military spending, it is doomed that the army cannot build a huge mechanized corps like the Chinese army, but the lack faced by the army is the largest mechanized corps in the world, so the army is forced to strengthen the infantry anti-tank force to confront the Chinese army, and at the same time, it has developed a certain armored force according to its ability, and has established three tank divisions and a number of reading tank wings before the war.

In the thirties, because Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union were both enemies of China, they also carried out a certain technological exchange between the Soviet Union and Russia, and the technology of the T26 and BT series tanks was obtained from the Soviet Union. At the same time, according to some technical information collected from China for many years, the Type 98 medium tank and the Type 96 light tank were developed, and then became the main tank of the army in the late thirties, with a relatively large number of equipment.

This armored force is naturally nothing compared to the Chinese armored corps, but no one thought that in World War II, it was said that "instead of fighting with China, it fought with Britain and the United States."

In this way, the armored corps used by the army to fight against the Chinese armored corps, which is very weak, has gained a lot in the Pacific Ocean, and the Type 98 medium tank, which has been constantly scolded by the army and navy in the past, has also won praise from both the army and the navy, saying that the Type 98 tank is the most outstanding work of the tank industry.

The reason for this shift is due to the Type 98 medium tank itself. Before World War II, almost all the weapons and even tactics of the army were used against the Chinese army, and tanks were no exception, but due to the influence of their own national strength, it was difficult to develop tanks that could compete with the T9\12 series, and in the end they could only barely get a Type 98 tank.

Type 98 tank, with a total weight of 16 tons, equipped with a 57 mm tank gun, with a speed of 38 kilometers per hour, the surname of this tank can be compared with China's T6 tank at best, and the Chinese Army's T9 \ 12 series tanks have no chance of winning, but China is not all T9 \ 12, at that time, the main tank of the Chinese Army deployed in the vast south is T8 light tank and T10 medium tank, Type 98 tank against T9 \ 12 series tanks is naturally not good, But against the T10, the southern tank, it can still be barely done.

Of course, in any case, this is already the best tank that could have been made, so I knew that the surname could be average but also equipped a lot.

However, in World War II, the army was fighting with Britain and the United States, and the army, which was originally used to fight against the Chinese army, also aimed the British and American coalition forces.

However, although the Anglo-American coalition forces were strong in industry, they did not have any powerful tanks at the beginning of the war, even if they took a step back and said that even if the more advanced tanks developed by the United States, such as the M4, were also in service, the Type 98 tank was also the mainstay of the army. Because there's a maritime and jungle warfare involved. When it comes to these two points, then it is extremely sensitive to the weight of the equipment.

In other words, once the tanks equipped exceed 18 tons, it will be difficult to transport tanks to overseas battlefields by sea, and this reason is also the reason why we have not transported the limited domestic heavy tanks of 20 or 30 tons to the Australian battlefield.

In addition to the weight limit of sea transportation, the weight of equipment is also extremely limited in jungle operations on the islands of Southeast Asia, which is not only deeply felt by the Army, but also deeply felt by the Chinese Army, and the T10 southern tanks of the 16 tons widely equipped by the Chinese Army are difficult to use in Southeast Asian countries, forcing the Chinese Army to develop the T16 tank as a replacement tank.

For various reasons, although his Type 98 medium tank has an average surname, it is more suitable for the army in the Pacific Theater. In addition, the tank strength of the British and American coalition forces at this time is not good, the main armored force of the US Army is the M3 tank, to put it bluntly, this is a more scummy tank than the Type 98 tank, so at present, it is said that "my Type 98 tank has no enemy in the Pacific Ocean for the time being."
