"Woo! Woo! "A dive bomber dropped an aerial bomb on top of a US-Australian bunker with a piercing whistling sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms, under the action of huge gravitational acceleration, already has extremely strong strength, and it can easily penetrate this pillbox. The bomb exploded inside the telegraph, and people nearby could clearly see that the entire bunker was completely blown up in an instant, completely blown into ruins, and rubble and the like were splashed everywhere.

"Oh God!" Seeing this scene, several soldiers of the US-Australian coalition not far from the bunker were stunned. This is not something that human beings can fight against at all! Even the reinforced concrete bunkers were easily destroyed, not to mention their flesh and blood. In modern warfare, human life is undoubtedly extremely fragile and can be easily wiped out.

"Boom!" A large-caliber artillery shell fell into a trench of the US-Australian coalition forces, and the trench, which was more than 30 meters long, collapsed in one fell swoop. Most of the dozen or so soldiers of the US-Australian coalition who were hiding in the trenches were killed when the shells exploded, and the rest were buried alive inside. If he can be rescued in time, he may be able to survive. However, on the battlefield where shells are flying, it is too late for everyone to dodge, how can anyone have time to rescue those people?

The positions of the US-Australian coalition forces were completely enveloped in flames and gunsmoke. Dense explosions were everywhere, and the fortifications painstakingly built by the US-Australian coalition were destroyed one after another. After these fortifications were destroyed, their plan to use them to consume the Imperial Army could be considered a miscarriage.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are attacking very fiercely, and they have dispatched a large number of planes and artillery to bombard our positions indiscriminately. Our fortifications have been destroyed. The casualties of the troops were also very large. When the artillery and bombardment of the Imperial Army continued for half an hour, Lieutenant General Christie had to report the news to Admiral MacArthur.

"I know, order all the departments to hold their positions as much as possible." Admiral MacArthur ordered with a cold face. Although, he knew that his order would kill countless soldiers of the US-Australian coalition. However, he can't care about that much. Even if it's a heavy defeat, he wants to be able to hold out in Australia for a longer time. Even if it is to fill it with more human lives, it will not hesitate.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Christie nodded, and he didn't feel anything wrong with Admiral MacArthur's cold-blooded orders. In the minds of these generals, these soldiers were originally meant to be digested. No matter how many deaths you have, it's just a cold number. They're used to it.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, although your plan for evacuating Koba is perfect. However, I don't want us to flee here at the very beginning of the fighting. I hope that we can hold out long enough before we get out of here. In this way, we can be regarded as having an explanation for the country and the government. Admiral MacArthur said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I know that very well." Lieutenant General Christie said. He knew that Admiral MacArthur was warning him. As the commander of the Allied South Pacific Theater, Admiral MacArthur had the right to appoint a general to remain and continue to command the battle, even if he had to evacuate at the last minute. The general who stayed behind could be someone else, but it could also be him. Therefore, Lieutenant General Christie must do a good job of the tasks assigned by Admiral MacArthur. Otherwise, he will regret it when the time comes.

On the positions of the Imperial Army, Marshal Cai Songpo observed the shelling at the position of a self-propelled howitzer. 6 210-mm self-propelled howitzers, firing like crazy. Thanks to the auxiliary reloading equipment, the rate of fire of the gun is very fast, basically reaching two rounds per minute. You know, this is a large-caliber howitzer! Each shell weighed more than one hundred and fifty kilograms. Among the artillery equipment of the army, this is already very powerful. Of course, the Navy is a different story. The cannons on the warships of the Navy basically don't have to think too much about the weight. As long as you don't sink the battleship. This also makes the navy's naval guns have longer barrels, are more powerful, and can be equipped with more auxiliary equipment. Therefore, the rate of fire tends to be faster. For example, the 460 mm main gun of the Imperial Army's 'Tokai-class' battleships had 1.6 tons of shells. However, with the assistance of the automatic loader, it is still possible to achieve a rate of fire of one round per minute. If you shoot at the limit, you can reach a rate of fire of three shots per two minutes. This is already a very terrifying rate of fire, which even the US Navy cannot do.

Watching his artillery continue to fire, he struggled to smash heavy cannons into the positions of the American and Australian coalition forces. These shells can destroy the fortifications of the US-Australian coalition forces, and at the same time, they can also kill the officers and soldiers of the US-Australian coalition forces. Although, none of these shells are cheap. However, as long as the casualties of the Imperial Army can be reduced, it will be worth it, no matter how costly.

This time, the artillery preparation will last for a long time. Marshal Cai Songpo knew very well how strong the fortifications were under the painstaking management of the US-Australian coalition forces here. If these fortifications could not be destroyed, the soldiers of the Imperial Army would probably have to fill them with human lives.

"Marshal, it's been half an hour since the artillery fire was prepared." The adjutant reported to Marshal Cai Songpo.

"Well, another half an hour of artillery preparation, and then the various units will attack, further compressing the living space of the US-Australian coalition forces, and advancing the front to Koba." Marshal Cai Songpo ordered.

Koba is nothing more than a small town that does not hold many troops. Therefore, the main forces of the US-Australian coalition are deployed outside the city. If the US-Australian coalition troops deployed outside the city can be eaten in one bite, then the war can be over.

"Yes, Marshal." The adjutant nodded, and immediately went to give orders.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "On the position of the 16th Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army, rocket artillery is being fired. One rocket after another, dragging a long tail flame, flew towards the positions of the US-Australian coalition forces. These rockets, individually, may not be very powerful. However, the power of the dense explosion is undoubtedly very amazing. Especially for soft targets such as exposed personnel, the lethal effect is very obvious.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense explosions rang out over a section of the US-Australian coalition position. Six rocket artillery pieces from a company of the Imperial Army are firing rockets at this area. More than a hundred rockets fell in a matter of seconds, completely covering the position. By the time the explosion was over, the entire position was in shambles. Not only were the fortifications destroyed, but the stumps and severed arms of the soldiers flew everywhere, as if they were in the Shura Hell.

An hour doesn't seem like a long time. However, after an hour of shelling, the artillery positions of the Imperial Army, the gunners who were carrying the shells were already exhausted. Carrying artillery shells is inherently a physical task, especially when shelling continuously for an hour can be very tiring.

Of course, for the officers and men of the US-Australian coalition, this hour is even more like a year. They spend almost all of their time in terror. In particular, seeing their own defensive positions destroyed in the explosion, and their comrades-in-arms being killed in the fierce shelling, made these soldiers of the US-Australian coalition completely panic. I was afraid that the next moment the shells would fall from the sky above their heads and blow them up.

When the horrific shelling finally ended, many soldiers of the US-Australian coalition finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, they were then urged and driven away by the officers, telling them to immediately take up arms and enter their positions, ready to resist the attack of the Imperial Army.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The Chinese were about to attack, and immediately entered the position, ready to resist their attack. The officers of the US-Australian coalition commanded loudly.

Countless soldiers of the US-Australian coalition army, who were still in a daze, began to take up arms and enter positions to prepare to resist the attack of the powerful Chinese army. Although, they are well aware of the strength of the Chinese army, if they can, they absolutely do not want to engage such an opponent. But they don't have a choice now.

At the moment when the shelling stopped, the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army, which had already been prepared, began to attack. Each of the three armies of the Imperial Army had 15 infantry divisions, each of which sent one or two regiments to participate in the attack. In addition, the tank company of the division also took part in the attack. The 14 infantry divisions of the Fuso Army also sent a large number of troops to participate in the offensive, which put the United States and Australia under tremendous pressure. Their positions were badly damaged. The casualties of the troops were also very high. It was undoubtedly very difficult to resist the attack of the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army at this time.

"Boom!" A tank No. 3 of the Imperial Army, firing. The 57-mm tank gun opened heavy fire, and one shot hit a machine gun fire point that had survived the shelling by the United States and Australia, and the machine gun fire point was blown apart. The heavy machine gun was directly destroyed, and the machine gunner was killed.

Under the offensive of the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army on all fronts, despite the resistance of the combined American and Australian forces. However, their resistance was not fierce. Perhaps, these US-Australian coalition forces also know that they are already defeated. (To be continued.) )
