"Sir, there is more than one Chinese submarine underwater, we have encountered wolves. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," said an officer in horror.

The captain of the destroyer 'Dennis' also had a drastic change in face, encountering a wolf pack of several submarines and encountering a submarine are fundamentally different things. If it's a submarine, they'll be able to deal with it. But if it's a pack of wolves, it's a problem.

"Bastard! It doesn't matter how many submarines there are underwater, be sure to sink them. The captain ordered.

"Torpedo, torpedo found on starboard." Suddenly, the sailors on the starboard side of the destroyer shouted a warning. Four torpedoes, approaching the destroyer at high speed.

"Turn around!" The captain hurriedly commanded. Even their destroyers have become the target of Chinese submarine attacks, which shows how arrogant the Chinese Navy's submarines are.

The speed of the destroyer is very fast, it has been raised to 28 knots at the moment, and it is still improving. With its high speed and steering ability, the destroyer was able to avoid the torpedoes without danger. When the torpedo almost brushed the stern of the destroyer, the sailors on the destroyer had an expression of the aftermath of the catastrophe. For a destroyer with a displacement of just over a thousand tons, a 533-mm heavy torpedo would be able to kill them. Once hit, dozens of sailors on the destroyer will have to go into the sea to swim.

After this wave, the captain of the destroyer "Dennis" no longer mentioned that he had to sink the underwater Chinese submarine. You know, they didn't even save their own lives just now.

When the last merchant ship sank into the sea in the explosion, the Chinese submarine swaggered away. And the two destroyers of the US Navy did not dare to pursue at all. After encountering a wolf pack of multiple submarines, if they pursue, the final result is likely to be sunk by the Chinese Navy's submarines. This is very dangerous for them.

Soon, the sea calmed down, and in addition to the burning and sinking merchant ships, and the overboard soldiers and broken planks floating on the sea, there were only two American destroyers that were trying to rescue the overboard crew and soldiers as much as possible. After being attacked by a submarine from the Chinese Navy, it has dealt a devastating blow to their fleet. Five merchant ships, none of which survived. All the weapons, equipment and supplies transported were sunk into the sea, and even the infantry battalion suffered heavy losses. However, it was only a few days away from Australia, and they still had to go to Australia. If you want to return to the U.S., it will take longer.

However, when the destroyer "Dennis" arrived in Australia, it was discovered that they could never return to the United States. Because, the Chinese Empire has already launched an attack on Australia. All ships have been requisitioned by the South Pacific Theater Command, including the ships of the U.S. Navy, and must also be at the disposal of the South Pacific Theater Command. They will protect Australia's eastern seaboard until they are sunk by a Chinese navy warship or carrier-based aircraft.

After more than two months of preparation, the Reich Eastern Front Command finally completed its operational preparations against Australia. The Imperial Army's 1st and 16th armies have arrived in the Indonesian archipelago, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands for deployment. In addition, two divisions of the Marine Corps, ten infantry divisions of the Fuso Kingdom and ten infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Annam, a vassal state of the Empire, had already arrived at the front. The Imperial Navy's South Sea Fleet, as well as four carrier strike groups and two battleship detachments drawn from the Pacific Fleet, have entered the theater of operations and are on standby. The Air Force also dispatched three squadrons of fighter jets, one wing of dive bombers and one wing of ground attack aircraft, one wing of medium bombers and one wing of heavy bombers to the airfields on the front line. After the Imperial Army landed in Australia and built a field airfield, they would gradually move to Australia to provide more air support for the Imperial Army's offensive.

It can be said that the empire is now ready for everything. The commander of the Eastern Front of the Empire, Admiral Cai Songpo, established his command in Batavia. Once the Imperial Army has gained a foothold in Australia, he will also relocate his headquarters to Australia as soon as possible.

On December 4, 4637 in the Yellow Emperor Era, Admiral Cai Songpo summoned Lieutenant General Zhu Yi, commander of the 16th Group Army, Admiral Chen Shiying, commander of the South Ocean Fleet, Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Zhou Xiang, commander of the Marine Corps, and Vice Admiral Chen Tianyou, commander of the Air Force of the Eastern Front, to make pre-war arrangements for the landing in Australia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after two months of preparation, the Empire has completed its preparations for war against Australia. The army, navy and air force, as well as the armies of the vassal states*, all arrived at the front and completed their combat readiness. Next, we landed in Australia, defeated the Americans in one fell swoop, and brought the whole of Australia under the rule of the empire. The theater of operations on the Western Front is on the Ural River, and we have just dealt with millions of Soviet troops, and we can't be worse than them. Otherwise, how would we be able to hold our heads up in front of Your Majesty? What's more, if we want to land on the mainland of the United States, we must take down Australia and these islands in the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible. Admiral Cai Songpo said.

The generals all looked very convinced, if the goal of the Western Front Command was to destroy Soviet Russia, subdue Germany, and establish the undisputed hegemony of the empire on the Eurasian continent. Then, the goal of the Imperial Eastern Front Command is to turn the entire Pacific Ocean into the Empire's inland sea, and then land in the United States, knock down the Empire's biggest opponent, and completely make them eligible to compete with the Empire.

"Commander, we're ready to attack!" Lieutenant General Zhu Yi, commander of the 16th Army of the Army, said.

"The Navy's Pacific Fleet and the South Sea Fleet are combat-ready. Our six carrier strike groups, four battleship detachments, are enough to destroy all the fortifications off the coast of Australia and clear the way for the landing of marines and lands. Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Pacific Fleet, also said.

In the entire Pacific Ocean, there are no longer many U.S. Navy ships, and the Imperial Navy's mission this time is to provide support for the landing of Marines and Army in Australia. Because Australia's major cities are concentrated on the coast. This is ideal for the Navy to launch an attack on the sea with naval guns or carrier-based aircraft.

"The Air Force can also dispatch warplanes at any time to seize Australia's air supremacy and bomb airfields in Australia." Lieutenant General Chen Tianyou also said.

"Well, it seems that you are very confident! I also believe that we will be able to win this battle. Admiral Cai Songpo said.

"According to the latest intelligence we have received, in Australia there are a total of fourteen American infantry divisions and two armored divisions. There are also 20 Australian infantry divisions with a total strength of more than 700,000 troops. With two armies of the Imperial Army and twenty infantry divisions of vassal states, they could be defeated. The U.S. Army Air Corps also has more than 500 fighter jets deployed in Australia, as well as 300 bombers of all kinds. However, these fighters are all P-36 fighters, and there are even some old P-35 fighters. I believe that the Air Force and Naval Aviation are fully capable of seizing air supremacy. The only thing to note is that Australians have a common habit of carrying weapons. Therefore, when we land in Australia, we must pay attention to this. If you are attacked by the Australians, you can shoot directly. It doesn't matter if the other party is a soldier or an ordinary person, as long as they endanger the lives of the officers and soldiers of the empire, they can shoot them. This is also a special reminder from His Majesty the Emperor. Admiral Cai Songpo said.

"Yes, Commander." The generals all nodded their heads one after another.

Guns are banned in the Empire, and it is illegal for anyone to own a firearm, except for the army and police, as well as some groups approved by the government, who are able to equip them. This also made the empire's society relatively stable and the security conditions were relatively good. However, countries like the United States and Australia, where guns are not banned, and people are legally owning guns. Although, this has made the security environment in these countries very challenging. However, in the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy, there are many people who can take up arms to protect the country. One can imagine what a threat the empire would encounter once it landed in Australia. Under such circumstances, the Empire* army naturally cannot be soft-hearted.

What's more, the empire will need large-scale immigration to Australia in the future. In order to ensure the safety of migrants, it is also necessary to reduce the population of Australia as much as possible.

"The Empire's strategy of Australia is to attack Australia first, and then New Zealand and the islands in the Pacific Ocean, and adopt a gradual approach. The attack on Australia was the first and most important battle of the Australian Campaign. As long as the US-Australian alliance in Australia is annihilated, the empire will be able to completely establish the victory. Therefore, this battle is very crucial. It is hoped that all arms of the army can cooperate closely in this battle to ensure the victory of the empire in this battle. The ugly words are said first, if the battle is lost because of mutual blame, then go and explain it to His Majesty the Emperor. Admiral Cai Songpo warned.

"Yes, Commander." Everyone's hearts are tight. If that really happens, the dismissal will be light, and if it is not done well, it will be tried by a military tribunal and ruin.

"Alright, guys, the attack on Australia will begin in two days. The Marines and the 16th Army of the Army, will land in Darwin! Let's go back and get ready. Admiral Cai Songpo said. (To be continued.) )
