Chapter 1349: Night Attack vs. Night Attack

The four infantry divisions of the United States and Australia that participated in the attack still lost tens of thousands of people in this attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you count the tens of thousands of people who were wiped out by the Imperial Army on the frontal position, this is equivalent to the loss of an entire infantry division. This battle has only been started for half a day! At this rate, the US-Australian coalition will only be able to hold out for more than 10 days. Not to mention that they also wanted to encircle and annihilate the 14th Army of the Imperial Army. In the end, I am afraid that they will be surrounded and annihilated by the armies of the Imperial Army and vassal states.

After Admiral MacArthur learned of the results, he was also silent for a long time. Although, he had long expected that the Chinese* army would probably not be easy to deal with. However, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

"Damn, what is this going to do? The regular army of the Chinese is difficult to deal with, which is understandable. But how come even those cannon fodder are so strong? Admiral MacArthur was speechless, unable to accept the result.

"Your Excellency, the war is not going well, but it should only be temporary. Maybe soon we will be able to reverse the situation. Lieutenant General Christie said. It's just that even he himself may not quite believe this.

"Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Witte and tell him that our fate is in his hands. If he can't defeat the Chinese, then we will inevitably lose this battle. Admiral MacArthur said.

There is no way to change the situation on the front line, he can only believe that Admiral Werther can perform miracles.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Christie nodded.

Lieutenant General Werther, who was on the front line, also had a headache. A morning offensive cost them 20,000 men. At the same time, the morale of the troops was greatly affected. How to solve such a crisis, he also seems to be a little powerless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese is beyond our imagination. Not only that, but the combat effectiveness of the army of the Chinese's client states also seems to be very strong. What do we do now? Do you have any comments? Lieutenant General Witt looked at the commanders of the two Australian Army armies. They were Lieutenant General Andrews, commander of the 1st Army of the Australian Army, and Lieutenant General Brett, commander of the 2nd Army.

"General Werther, I think there are two main reasons why we will be defeated. On the one hand, the Chinese have air superiority, they control air supremacy, they can send planes to attack our artillery and our infantry, and even provide support to the Fuso. That's why we were on their defensive line, and we bled on the head. Lieutenant General Andrews said.

Lieutenant General Witt nodded: "However, we have no solution to this problem at all. Our aviation forces have been completely crippled by the Chinese. The front-line airfield was also blown up by the Chinese. So, there is nothing we can do about seizing air supremacy. ”

Lieutenant General Andrews and Lieutenant General Brett also knew this, so they did not force it.

"On the other hand, the fighting will of our troops is inferior to that of the Chinese Fuso. They are a group of people who disregard life, and they are even more fearless of death when they fight. It is because of this that we cannot defeat them. Lieutenant General Andrews said.

Indeed, both American soldiers and Australian soldiers are a little afraid of death. It will be very difficult for them to attack without fear of death. This made it impossible for them to defeat the Fuso Army, even though they had superiority in strength and weapons.

"These two problems are indeed the problems of our troops. But what can be done to solve this problem? Lieutenant General Witt asked. What's the use of finding a problem but not solving it?

Lieutenant General Andrews and Lieutenant General Brett were also silent. They also have little to do to solve this problem.

"General, maybe we can attack at night. At night, Chinese planes could not attack us. Our powerful artillery can play a great role. In addition, our superiority in forces can also be brought into play. If you concentrate the main forces to attack the Fuso, you may be able to defeat them all. After all, no matter how powerful the Fuso people are, they are still human beings and can be defeated. Lieutenant General Werther's adjutant suddenly interjected.

This suggestion made Lieutenant General Witt and Andrews finally and Lieutenant General Brett shine. Taking advantage of the night to attack is indeed the only way to give full play to their advantages.

"That's a good suggestion, but our soldiers aren't good at fighting at night either. If there is chaos, I am afraid it will be serious. Lieutenant General Brett reminded. This is especially true of the many new Australian troops.

"We can mobilize elite troops to participate in the evening offensive. Elite troops will not be as easily defeated as newly formed units. Gentlemen, this may be our only chance to defeat the Chinese. So, we have to seize this opportunity. "Lieutenant General Witte made up his mind. During the day, in the face of air strikes by the Chinese Air Force, it is simply impossible for them to break through the defense lines of the Chinese* army or the Fuso army. Only at night, their disadvantage will not be so great, and there will be a slight chance of victory.

"Well, General Werther, we agreed to launch a night attack, and we will send our strongest troops into battle. For Australia's sake, we'll do our best. Lieutenant General Andrews said.

"Alright, let's do it. Tonight, after nightfall, we will attack. Launch a surprise attack first, and if the surprise attack fails, then launch a strong attack at that time, and strive to break through the defense line of the Fuso people at one time. Lieutenant General Witte said.

"Yes, General." Both Lieutenant General Andrews and Lieutenant General Brett replied.

In the afternoon of the same day, the US-Australian coalition forces seemed to be honest and no longer took the initiative to attack, as if they were scared. However, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force still dispatched large groups of aircraft to bomb the positions of the US-Australian coalition forces, and depleted their strength by killing and wounding the personnel of the US-Australian coalition forces and destroying their equipment and supplies.

The hundreds of thousands of troops in the United States and Australia are obviously impossible to hide in the woods. Even if you hide in the woods, if you are exposed, you will be bombed by the Imperial Air Force, and you will pay heavy losses.

In the afternoon, Lieutenant General Huang Jianling, commander of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, went to the 12th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army to commend and express condolences to them for their heroic performance in the morning's battle.

"The Fuso Army is the most combat-effective force among all the vassal states of the Empire, and it is not even worse than the armies of other world powers. The Empire has always relied heavily on the Fuso Army, and I hope you will be able to perform even better in this war. The future world belongs to the Chinese Empire, but the world is too big, and after we become the world hegemon, we also need helpers to rule the whole world. The performance of the Fuso Army in this war undoubtedly proved that the Fuso Army was qualified to be an important assistant to the Empire's future world domination. Lieutenant General Huang Jianling said. All this time, the empire has tried to tame the Fuso. Because, the tamed Fuso people will become loyal dogs of the empire. It's just that you have to worry about them turning against your master at all times. But if the Chinese Empire continues to be strong, the Fusang people will honestly work for the empire, and they will not dare to have a second heart at all. Therefore, the strength of the empire itself is the most important thing.

The generals of the Fuso Army were very excited, this was undoubtedly the first time that the senior generals of the empire had publicly stated that they would be involved when the empire ruled the world in the future. In this way, there is no doubt that the Fuso Kingdom can gain a lot of benefits from it, which also makes these Fuso generals think that their efforts in this war are completely necessary and worthwhile.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for your trust, and for the Empire's respect for us. Please rest assured that in this war, the Fuso Army will be the most loyal subordinate of the Empire, and we will work with the Empire to conquer the whole world. Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka said excitedly.

"Well, in that case, that's the best." Lieutenant General Huang Jianling said.

"This afternoon, the U.S.-Australian coalition unexpectedly did not attack. However, we think that although they were defeated by us in the morning, they will definitely not give up so easily. Most likely, they are planning a new offensive. Therefore, you must be vigilant to prevent a sneak attack by the US-Australian coalition. Lieutenant General Huang Jianling said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we'll take notice. In addition, we plan to launch a night raid this evening to inflict further on the United States and Australia forces, and we hope that Your Excellency the Commander will approve our plan. Lieutenant General Masataka Yamawaki said.

Lieutenant General Huang Jianling hesitated for a moment before approving their plan. Because in the impression of the imperial generals, these Fuso people are very good at fighting at night. Or rather, a white-knuckle battle in a night battle. In addition, if you blindly defend and do not take the initiative to attack, it will be very difficult to really inflict heavy damage on the US-Australian coalition. An appropriate offense is very necessary.

"Well, I approve your plan, and I look forward to another brilliant victory for you." Lieutenant General Huang Jianling said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka and others replied.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that we will win again tonight." Major General Nakamura Jikizo patted his chest and assured.

The U.S.-Australian coalition and the Fuso Army both planned to launch night attacks. It's a coincidence. It's just that I don't know which side will perform better in the night attack. (To be continued.) )
