Chapter 1343: Take the initiative to attack

"Your Excellency, it took only a little more than a day for the Chinese to successfully destroy our air force and airfield, and we have completely lost air supremacy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Lieutenant General Christie said to Admiral MacArthur.

Admiral MacArthur nodded: "The Chinese are too cunning, they have seen through our schemes." But they didn't give us the slightest chance. They would rather waste a little more time and mobilize more fighters from within the country to support them than fight us without air supremacy. In such a situation, what do we take to fight the Chinese? ”

Lieutenant General Christie nodded, originally they put the decisive battle inland, just to weaken the sea and air superiority of the Chinese * army as much as possible. But I didn't expect that the Chinese* army directly used to transfer more air forces to Australia, which directly resolved this trick of the Americans. This made Admiral MacArthur very disappointed and frustrated.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Lieutenant General Christie asked. After losing air supremacy, the likelihood of them defeating the Chinese * army is undoubtedly a little lower.

"Now we can only fight the Chinese without air supremacy. Hopefully, God will bless us that even without air supremacy, we will be able to defeat the Chinese. Admiral MacArthur said.

Lieutenant General Christie knew that Admiral MacArthur had no choice but to pin his hopes on the illusory God.

After the Chinese Air Force took full control of Australia's air supremacy, naval aviation returned to aircraft carriers. The main force of the Imperial Navy will return to China for rest. The aircraft carrier needs to be repaired, and then they have to continue fighting for other islands in the Pacific.

Under the cover of the Imperial Air Force, the speed of the Imperial Army's advance suddenly increased a lot. Previously, it could advance up to 20 kilometers per day, but now it has increased to more than 30 kilometers per day.

On the day of 25 February, the Imperial Army's closest unit to Koba was less than 150 kilometers away. If you advance another 50 kilometers, you will enter the heavily defended area of the US and Australian forces.

This made the time for Admiral MacArthur to make a decision. Otherwise, if the Chinese* army is allowed to take the initiative to attack, the US-Australian coalition will be in an even more disadvantageous position.

Even after a complete victory on this day, General MacArthur convened an emergency meeting of the commanders and division commanders of the US-Australian forces in Coba's headquarters. There was only one content of the meeting, and that was undoubtedly what they should do in the face of the advancing Chinese* army.

"Gentlemen, we have now reached the most critical moment. The Chinese army will soon attack us. And the importance of the outcome of this battle must be very clear to everyone. If we are defeated again, the consequences will be very serious. We will completely lose control of Australia, and the Chinese will occupy it. All Australians will become slaves of the Chinese. How the Chinese dealt with the indigenous people there in Nanyang must be very clear to everyone. In the eyes of the Chinese, there is actually no difference between whites and those natives of the South Seas. Admiral MacArthur said.

Suddenly, the generals of the Australian Army even turned red in their eyes. They don't want their compatriots to become slaves and be killed by the Chinese at will. Therefore, everyone was ignited with a raging fighting spirit.

"If the Chinese occupy Australia, then their next step is to continue advancing in the Pacific. And it will take a long time for the United States' strong industrial power to be transformed into war strength. In particular, if our navy wants to restore its combat effectiveness, it is estimated that it will have to go by the end of next year. If the Chinese attack the United States before the end of next year, then the war will burn on our soil, a large number of Americans will be displaced, and many people will even die in the war. Everyone knows very well how fragile human life is in war. Admiral MacArthur continued.

As a result, the expressions on the faces of those US generals were not good-looking. The war took place in Australia and doesn't seem to have much to do with them. So many people have reservations in the battle. But now they know that if they can't defeat the Chinese in Australia, or if they drag the Chinese, the war will soon reach the United States. In order for their families, relatives and friends not to be affected by the war, they can only delay the Chinese as much as possible, so that the Chinese cannot threaten the US mainland before the US Navy forms combat effectiveness. Therefore, on the Australian battlefield, they also have to fight hard.

"Gentlemen, there is no way back now. Therefore, we have only one choice, that is, to fight with the Chinese to the end, defeat them as much as possible, and win. Otherwise, I think everyone knows the consequences. Admiral MacArthur continued.

"Your Excellency Commander, you give an order, for the sake of our country and for the sake of our families, we will definitely defeat the Chinese." An American general stood up and said.

The other generals of the US-Australian coalition also shouted loudly.

Admiral MacArthur nodded in satisfaction, knowing that the fighting spirit of these generals had been aroused. Next, as long as they lead the army and the Chinese * army in a bloody battle. Then, their odds of winning are undoubtedly much higher.

"The Chinese army is now divided into three parts, and the distance between each part is hundreds of kilometers. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for us. Although, with our strength, it is not possible to eat all the Chinese * army at once. However, if we concentrate our efforts, it is entirely possible to eat some of them. As long as we can quickly get rid of a part of the Chinese* army, then we will have an even greater advantage. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity. Admiral MacArthur said.

"The 14th Army of the Chinese Army, which advanced west from Sydney, is the closest to us. Therefore, I want to make this enemy the first thing we can destroy. I now order the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, and 34th Infantry Divisions of the U.S. Army, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, and 7th and 4th Armoured Divisions of the U.S. Army to advance toward Nevertel, ready to meet the Chinese here, and destroy them here in one fell swoop. Admiral MacArthur ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." A cadre of generals of the US-Australian coalition replied one after another.

"The rest of the troops, ready to delay the attack of the other two parts of the Chinese army. As long as we eliminate the 14th Army of the Chinese Army, we will have a greater advantage against the Chinese. Admiral MacArthur continued. As for the armies of those vassal states of the Chinese Empire, Admiral MacArthur does not seem to have taken them into account. But in fact, in order to eliminate the 14th Army of the Imperial Army and the ten infantry divisions of the vassal states in one fell swoop, it can be said that he made a bloody investment. Not only 9 US infantry divisions were dispatched, but also 15 Australian infantry divisions, plus two US armored divisions, a total of 570,000 pairs of troops and 780 tanks.

Compared to the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, as well as the five infantry divisions of the Fuso Army, the three infantry divisions of the Khmer Army, and the two infantry divisions of the Nanzhang Army, Admiral MacArthur committed almost twice as many troops as the Chinese Army, that is, the vassal forces. Although there may be a certain gap between the two sides in terms of combat effectiveness. However, Admiral MacArthur believed that as long as the US-Australian coalition forces did their best, they might not have no chance of winning. As long as this Chinese* army can be resolved, then the situation in Australia will change fundamentally.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The generals of the US-Australian coalition who were not named also replied.

The morale of these generals is high, as if they are really no longer afraid of the Chinese army. In fact, only they know how much faith they have. It is very difficult to say whether these guys will behave like this once they go to the battlefield.

"Gentlemen, we have lost air supremacy, and for the sake of secrecy, we can only try to rush to Neverter by day and night, and give the Chinese a head-on blow." Admiral MacArthur admonished.

After the Chinese Air Force gained air supremacy, fighter planes would often patrol the battlefield, on the one hand, to ensure the air supremacy of the Imperial Air Force, and on the other hand, to reconnoitre. If there were any large-scale movements of the US-Australian coalition forces, they could detect them in advance so that the Imperial Army could be prepared to deal with them earlier.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The generals nodded their heads.

On the night of February 26, 4638 A.D., the combined forces of the United States and Australia began to march from their stations to the battlefield. Cars lined up in long queues on the road at night. The infantry drove on foot on both sides of the road. As soon as it was daybreak, they would hide in the woods and wait until it was dark to continue on their way.

It's just that hundreds of thousands of US-Australian coalition troops are carrying out operations, and it is simply impossible to truly achieve complete secrecy. Among the clues detected by the fighter planes of the Imperial Air Force, the Eastern Front Command of the Reich had already had a premonition that the US-Australian coalition forces, which were unwilling to be lonely, were about to attack.
