"Da Da Da!" A young American soldier hid in a corner of the trench, his automatic rifle firing constantly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and his head shattered like a watermelon. Red and white were scattered all over the place.

"Damn Chinese, you all deserve to hell." An American heavy machine gun was firing incessantly, and the suppressed Imperial Marines were unable to advance.

At this time, an amphibious tank rushed up, and the tracks ran over the beach, leaving deep marks.

The heavy machine gunners of the U.S. Army also spotted the tanks rushing towards them and became panicked. Heavy machine guns began to pour fire on the amphibious tanks. It's just that the bullets hit the armor of the tank and made a clanging sound. There is no other effect at all than to knock off a little paint. The turret of the heavy machine gun began to turn, aiming at the heavy machine gun.

"Boom!" A shell flew out and hit the heavy machine gun in the blink of an eye. After the shell exploded, the heavy machine gun was blown straight into a parted state. The Heavy was covered in blood and fell to the side.

Under the attack of the Imperial Marines, the positions of the American and Australian forces were constantly lost. Even though it was replenished by nearly 2,000 people, it still didn't last long.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the beach was still completely in the hands of the Imperial Marines. Two divisions of the Marine Corps also began to talk about the remaining troops sent ashore. At the same time, the 76th Infantry Division of the Army was also preparing to go ashore. They had to take all of Darwin before they could use the port of Darwin to load and unload the heavy equipment on the transport ships. Let the Imperial Army's 16th Army and vassal nation* armies disembark as soon as possible.

After taking the beach and establishing a solid beachhead, the sappers also worked to build a small pier on the beach. In this way, the speed of the troops coming ashore will be greatly increased. At the same time, it was possible to bring some less heavy weapons ashore. For example, the army's 105-mm howitzer, or a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun converted from tank No. 1. Although the No. 1 tank has long been phased out, all of these tanks have been modified with the idea of waste utilization. The upper turret was dismantled and designed to be open. Quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns or 20-mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed. When the field troops are in air defense, they can exert considerable combat effectiveness.

During an exercise, the infantry used this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun to fight street fighting, and also achieved good results. Both the 20-mm anti-aircraft guns and the 40-mm anti-aircraft guns were good, and if you poured fire on the enemy troops hiding in the building with all your might. can cause great damage. This is undoubtedly a very good weapon for brutal street fighting.

In addition, there are Spitfire tanks and even rocket launchers with more than a dozen individual rocket launchers in series. These were all weapons invented by the officers and men of the Imperial Army in actual combat. Although it may look rudimentary, it can play a great role in street fighting, thus effectively reducing the casualties of the troops. In street fighting, the casualties would have been very large. How to reduce the casualties of the troops in street battles has always been a headache for the Imperial Army. They can only equip their troops with as many sharp weapons as possible, train for street fighting, and adopt more modern tactics.

After taking Darwin's beaches, the next step is to storm the city. It was also a test of the new tactics of street fighting in the Imperial* army. In the past, whether it was the battle against the Philippines or the battle of the Western Front Command against Soviet Russia, almost all of them were field battles, so that this set of street fighting tactics could not be well tested. Darwin has undoubtedly become a place to test tactics. If it proves to be effective, then the Empire* army will fully promote this tactic in future street battles.

"General Donald, we've lost the beach. My brigade withdrew less than fifteen hundred men. Major General Matthew said with red eyes. A brigade was beaten like this in less than a day. This undoubtedly inflicted a heavy blow on the 11th Infantry Division of the Australian Army.

"General Matthew, your 11th Infantry Division is not bad. My 21st Infantry Division, one brigade after another, has withdrawn less than 2,000 men. Major General Donald, commander of the 21st Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, was even more depressed. His infantry division had already lost tens of thousands of men in one day. Such a loss can be regarded as a heavy blow. In other circumstances, this would have been enough to render the U.S. 21st Infantry Division incapacitated. However, now they had no way to retreat, and the rest of the army was to hold on to Darwin.

Major General Matthew was silent for a while, although they all knew that the Chinese were not easy to deal with. But the performance of the Chinese* army on the battlefield still greatly shocked them. Strong firepower, skilled coordination of infantry and other arms, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they are able to fight tough battles. None of this is something that the US-Australian coalition can compare with.

"General Donald, can we really hold Darwin?" Major General Matthew is already very skeptical of this.

"General Matthew, even if we can't hold it, we have to persevere. I have already sent a telegram to the other four infantry divisions, and they will each send an infantry regiment to reinforce us. Soon, we will have 15,000 reinforcements. In street fighting, we can completely give the Chinese a head-on blow and make them pay heavy losses. After that, I asked the command to retreat, and the command should be able to approve it. Maj. Gen. Donald said.

At this point, his 21st Infantry Division had done its best. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that the entire 21st Infantry Division will be lost here.

"General Donald, I will ask my troops to fight to the end. In any case, this is Australia, our country, and we have a responsibility to fight the invasion of the Chinese. Major General Matthew said.

Major General Donald nodded and did not say anything more.

Truth be told, he was a bit surprised by the performance of the Australian Army. Originally, he thought that it was unlikely that these troops, which had just been formed for a short time, would be able to perform well on the battlefield. However, on the battlefield, these Australian troops behaved heroically. Even if their fighting qualities are still somewhat insufficient, they dare to fight with the Chinese. Of course, this has cost them dearly.

But even so, he still applauded their bravery. If all 20 infantry divisions of the Australian Army were able to fight so bravely, they might be able to hold out in Australia for a longer time. Perhaps we will be able to hold on to the moment when the United States launches an all-out counterattack.

Of course, Major General Donald also knows that this is undoubtedly a fool's dream. The advantages of the Chinese empire were too great, and they could easily throw hundreds of thousands or millions of elite troops into Australia. In particular, when the Chinese Navy has completely controlled the sea supremacy in the Pacific, it can cover the Chinese Marine Corps and Army attack Australia's coastal areas at will. Once all the coastal areas fall, Australia is finished. The inland deserts and desert areas are simply not suitable for survival. Even if the US-Australian coalition fled inland, it would not last long.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 76th Regiment of the 761st Infantry Division of the Imperial Army was the first to land. At 4 p.m., the 761st Regiment and a regiment of the 6th Marine Division launched a fierce attack on the city of Darwin.

With strong air support and naval fire support, in less than an hour, they cleared their positions outside the city and attacked the city.

Although, Darwin's urban area is not very large, and the buildings are not high. However, in order to resist the attack of the Chinese* army here, the US-Australian coalition still tried its best to block the Chinese* army. They fought with the Chinese* army in every house. If the Chinese* army wants to move forward, it must kill a lot of the US-Australian coalition troops.

Australians, in particular, have shown great valor in order to defend themselves far away.

"Da Da Da!" A small two-story building, where more than a dozen Australian Army personnel are stationed. In one of the rooms on the second floor, they erected a machine gun in the window. Now, the machine gun was firing incessantly, suppressing the attack of the Imperial Army.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out. The Australian machine gunners fell headlong. On the rooftop, more than a hundred meters away, a sniper of the Imperial Army killed him.

However, after the Heavy was killed, the secondary shooter removed his body and continued shooting.

But ten seconds later, the secondary shooter was also killed.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army, under the cover of squad machine guns and snipers, stormed the small building. When they kicked open the door, they threw two grenades in.

"Boom! Rumble! Two explosions rang out, accompanied by the screams of the Australian soldiers inside.

The Imperial soldiers then rushed in and began to fire with their weapons, killing the Australian servicemen inside the house.

After clearing the first floor of the Australian soldiers, the soldiers began to advance upstairs.

As soon as a soldier rushed to the corner of the stairs, he was hit by a bullet, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly retreated.

The sniper eliminated the Australian soldiers hiding there through the window, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army rushed up smoothly.

Ten minutes later, the battle was over, and all the Australian soldiers stationed here were eliminated. To the surprise of the Imperial Army soldiers, these Australians, although their combat literacy was not very good, they were very brave, and no one surrendered, and they were all determined to fight to the death. However, even this does not mean that they will be able to win in the end. (To be continued.) )
