"Oh God! Flee, the Chinese tanks are catching up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" shouted in horror as a group of U.S. soldiers fled like him. These American soldiers have been frightened, completely lost their fighting spirit, and only know how to flee for their lives.

For a force, if it is defeated on the battlefield, the greatest loss is not in frontal battle, but in the rout. An army that has collapsed its will to fight will often pay a greater price when it is hunted down. The current US-Australian coalition is like this. In the face of the pursuit of the armored forces of the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army, they could only choose to escape, wishing that their parents would give them two more pairs of legs, so that they could escape faster. Once they are chased and find that they can't escape, in order to save their lives, they have to surrender like the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army.

It's just that many Fuso people have already been killed, and many soldiers of the United States and Australia who surrendered have been slaughtered by them. There is no way around it, and it is undoubtedly very common for such a situation to happen on the battlefield.

"Order the artillery to prepare to open fire and contain the Chinese offensive." Although this battle made Admiral MacArthur very unhappy, it was difficult to accept this result. However, the war has to go on. The only thing he needs to worry about now is that the armored forces of the Chinese Army and the Fuso Army have broken through their defenses by taking advantage of the chaos, and in this case, they will pay more casualties.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Witte said. In order to support the attack of the American and Australian forces, their artillery gathered more than 300 guns of more than 100 mm caliber. However, when the 4th Panzer Division attacked, in order to maintain the suddenness, it did not make fire preparations. Originally, I thought it would be useless, but now it seems that it still comes in handy.

However, doing so will definitely cause some accidental injuries to the troops. But at this juncture, no one cares about these anymore.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Soon, the artillery of the United States and Australia began to bombard, and one shell after another flew towards the battlefield. The shells fell into the crowd and took a lot of lives, not only from the Fuso Army, but also from the US-Australian coalition forces.

When the United States and Australia launched a frenzied artillery bombardment, the armored forces of the Imperial Army were also threatened. Although, the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tanks and 'Tiger' tanks are very strong in defense. However, if you are hit directly by a large-caliber howitzer shell, you will also be destroyed. Therefore, after discovering that the large-caliber howitzers of the US-Australian coalition forces were firing, the commander of the armored forces of the Imperial Army immediately gave the order to retreat.

The armored forces of the Imperial Army retreated, and the Fuso Army naturally did not hold out any longer. The heavy artillery of the American army opened fire fiercely, but it caused them a lot of casualties. Besides, their counterattack has been successful, and one armored division and two infantry divisions of the attacking US-Australian coalition have been almost disabled. They have won this battle.

As a result, the Fuso Army also retreated quickly like a tide.

This large-scale battle between the two sides came to an end. The US-Australian coalition forces concentrated one armored division, two infantry divisions, and more than 60,000 people to attack an infantry division of the Fuso Army, but the final result was that the 4th Armored Division was completely disabled, losing more than 95 percent of its tanks and armored divisions, and suffering more than 80 percent of its casualties. The other two infantry divisions also lost about 70 percent of their personnel, most of which had to surrender after being caught up by the armored forces of the Imperial Army during the rout.

The stoppage of the Imperial Army's offensive relieved Admiral MacArthur. If the Imperial Army seized this opportunity and committed a large number of troops to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was possible for the defense line of the American army to be breached, which caused a lot of losses.

Of course, the Imperial Army did not think of taking the initiative to attack at this time. The strength of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army and the five Fuso Infantry Divisions is still too weak, especially when the other five Khmer and Nanzhang Infantry Divisions are protecting the logistics supply line and the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army is disabled. Therefore, the plan of Lieutenant General Huang Jianling, commander of the 14th Group Army, was still to take defense, rely on fortifications to consume the strength of the US-Australian coalition as much as possible, and wait until the 1st Army arrived, and then encircle and annihilate the enemy in front of him. As for the US-Australian forces in Koba and elsewhere, it would be best to wait until the 16th Army arrived. However, by that time, the overall situation was basically decided.

It seems that God is not on our side. Those damned Chinese, they are so lucky. "Admiral MacArthur was a little complaining. He was jealous that the Chinese Army was equipped with more advanced tanks, and that the servant army of the Chinese Army was so fearless of death. These are the main reasons why the US-Australian coalition cannot win this battle.

The 4th Panzer Division was almost completely wiped out, and the 30th Infantry Division and the Australian 5th Infantry Division had collapsed and lost their combat effectiveness. This brought their losses in this battle to more than 45,000 troops. Plus more than 30,000 people lost yesterday. Well, the US-Australian coalition has lost more than 80,000 people. You must know that the troops they sent this time are only 570,000 in total, which already accounts for one-seventh of the total strength, which is already a very serious loss. In particular, the part of the army that has been lost is basically elite troops. Although the number of remaining troops is still quite large, overall, the combat power is no longer so elite.

This also made Admiral MacArthur realize the reality that it was almost impossible to eat the 14th Army of the Imperial Army. Unless they bring in all the US-Australian forces. Otherwise, there is no possibility of success. If this is the case, then the other two Chinese* armies will not be blocked and can go directly south.

You must know that when the US-Australian coalition wanted to encircle and annihilate the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army was also desperately rescued. The 1st Army of the Imperial Army, as well as five Fuso Infantry Divisions and five Annam Infantry Divisions, were rapidly moving south, and in order to prevent the 1st Army of the Imperial Army from moving south, the United States and Australia had to deploy heavy troops to block them. This also makes it impossible for the forces of the United States and Australia to besiege the 14th Army.

Lieutenant General Huang Jianling, commander of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, was also waiting for the results of the counterattack. The aggressive attack on the defense line of the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army by the United States and Australia also made him a little worried. In the event that the defense line on the left flank was breached, the troops of the 14th Army would have to be transferred to defend against the Americans, which would make the ensuing battle even more difficult.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka, commander of the 3rd Army of the Fuso Army, to personally appear at the headquarters of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army and report the results to Lieutenant General Huang Jianling.

"Your Excellency, the armored forces of the Imperial Army are really strong. The Americans and Australians, at all, were no match for the armored forces of the Imperial Army. The tanks of the Imperial Army, against the tanks of the Americans, were completely as if they were killing chickens, it was too easy. Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka looked flattering and envious. He was naturally envious of the fact that the Imperial Army was equipped with such powerful armored forces. It's just that it is obviously impossible for the Fuso Army to equip such elite troops.

"Well, how's the result?" Lieutenant General Huang Jianling asked. The Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tanks and 'Tiger' tanks would be too humiliating if they couldn't easily deal with the American tanks. According to the data obtained by the Imperial Army on the battlefield, the tanks equipped by the Americans, whether they are old M1 light tanks or M2 medium tanks, or M3 light tanks and M3LEE medium tanks that have just entered service, are not at all the opponents of the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tank and 'Tiger' tank.

Of course, in another time and space, the tanks of the Americans were not very powerful. The main M4 medium tank in the late stage of World War II and the M26 'Pershing' heavy tank that appeared in the later period were not the opponents of the German 'Leopard' tank and the 'Tiger' tank. In the European theater, only by relying on numerical superiority can they compete with the German armored forces.

In this time and space, the Leopard 2 tanks and Tiger tanks equipped by the Imperial Army were even better than the German Leopard and Tiger tanks in another time and space. Therefore, the tanks of the Americans are even less than the opponents of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, and it is useless to be so embarrassed by the armored forces of the Imperial Army.

"Your Excellency, the United States and Australia that we have annihilated and captured have at least exceeded 40,000 people. In particular, the 4th Armored Division of the US Army was basically disabled. In this battle, we won a big victory. Lieutenant General Masataka Yamawaki said.

"What about the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army? What about their casualties? Lieutenant General Huang Jianling asked.

"The 12th Infantry Division suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were already more than halfway through." Lieutenant General Masataka Yamawaki said.

Lieutenant General Huang Jianling nodded, and then said: "In this way, let the 12th Infantry Division withdraw to Sydney to rest and recuperate, and transfer a group of supplementary troops from Fusang to restore the combat effectiveness of the 12th Infantry Division in the shortest possible time." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Masataka Yamawaki nodded.

Because of the crushing defeat, the US-Australian coalition did not dare to attack easily. The 14th Army of the Imperial Army, on the other hand, had no intention of attacking. As a result, millions of troops on both sides entered a stalemate in Nevertel. (To be continued.) )
