Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Australia, West Coast,

January 1, 1 a.m.

The night sky was covered by dark clouds and the earth was plunged into a darkness as thick as ink.

43 Xuanwu-1 transport planes pierced through the clouds like ghosts, the low hum of their engines becoming clearer in the silence.

Soon, white parachutes opened in the night sky, and more than 1 paratroopers from the 1200st Airborne Brigade of Haizhou State slowly landed on the ground!

They were airdropped into an empty plain area. It was pitch black all around. There was no house, no enemy in sight, and no resistance encountered!

The paratroopers folded their parachutes in an orderly manner and began to gather together slowly. Some of them hurried to distribute the airdropped supplies and installed heavy machine guns or mortars on the jeeps!

Under the illumination of the flashlight, Liu Zhaosheng, commander of the 1st Airborne Brigade, took out a map and a compass. He quickly determined the location of the target, which was the port city in the west, Hedland!

Australia is too big. There are six landing targets on the west coast, namely Port Hedland, Port Fremantle, Port Dampier, Port Geraldton, and Port Albany. Based on the information fed back by the reconnaissance aircraft, Yin Xinjun finally selected Port Hedland.

This is the intersection of two railways and there is also an airport. If we successfully occupy this place, it will provide great convenience for the transportation of logistical supplies when the troops advance in depth!

After an hour of preparation!

Following Liu Zhaosheng's order, the troops rushed towards the city of Hedland. Liu Zhaosheng was quite satisfied with tonight's airdrop. They were basically distributed within two kilometers of the designated landing area!

This place is about 10 kilometers away from the city of Hedland in the west!

When the paratroopers arrived at Hedland City, it was still dark and the entire small city was quiet. Liu Zhaosheng ordered all jeeps to turn off their lights and hide temporarily!

Liu Zhaosheng took out another floor plan, which was mapped by an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft. It detailed two important targets in the city, one was an Australian military camp, and the other was an airport!

The personnel simply divided the work, the troops split into two, and rushed towards the two targets!

Liu Zhaosheng personally led more than 900 people to the gate of the military camp. According to the Air Force report, there were about 300-400 Australian soldiers stationed here, which was also the largest enemy force in the city!

This military camp didn't even have a regular wall. It was just a wooden fence outside, with more than ten rows of bungalows inside! There were two sentries at the gate, but they didn't notice the paratroopers in the dark at all!

Several soldiers quietly rushed over with daggers and easily took out the two sentries. The soldiers, holding guns, filed into the depths of the military camp!

They blocked the doors of all the bungalows!

It is summer in the southern hemisphere, and the windows of the house are open.

Following a sharp whistle!

The soldiers took out their special high-explosive grenades and threw them into the house through the windows. These grenades were Soviet-style Molotov grenades imitated by the Jingbohu City Arsenal! They were extremely powerful, with one grenade weighing more than 600 grams of explosives! They could be used against both infantry and armor!

Huge explosions sounded continuously, and screams were heard in the house! After each soldier threw a grenade, they immediately evacuated the barracks!

There is no point in rushing into the house, it will only increase the casualties!

Afterwards, the eight jeeps outside the military camp turned on their headlights and pointed their heavy machine guns at the military camp!

The door of a room was knocked open, and two Australian soldiers stumbled out, their figures clearly visible under the headlights.

The sound of gunfire rang out, and two Australian soldiers fell down!

The soldiers hid around the military camp, blocked every corner, and almost shot anyone who came out!

A voice came from the walkie-talkie that the troops attacking the airport had succeeded. At this moment, the sky was beginning to brighten!

Leaving behind 200 men to continue guarding the Australian military camp, Liu Zhaosheng led a large force to rush towards the port again.

The troops passed through the quiet little city and quickly took over various positions in the port.

Jeeps were equipped with machine guns at intersections, blocking all the main roads in the city!

Outside the port, a huge fleet was sailing in with more than 40 ships forming a steel formation, which was magnificent.

The two aircraft carriers are like giants on the sea. The towering islands stand majestically, and the fighter planes on the flight decks are neatly arranged, reflecting a cold metallic luster under the sunlight.

"Mulan!" aircraft carrier!

A carrier-based Ghost Reconnaissance aircraft began to taxi slowly on the deck. Its streamlined fuselage shone with a cold luster in the morning light, and two sophisticated reconnaissance devices were mounted under its wings.

With the powerful traction of the catapult, the reconnaissance plane rushed to the end of the deck at a very fast speed. Just as it was about to rush out of the deck, the fuselage shook violently, the nose of the plane rose up, piercing through the morning mist with a roar, and rushed into the vast sky.

Following the three Youtong reconnaissance planes, one after another Yue Fei fighter planes and Meng Tian attack planes also rushed into the sky!

The landing ships began to approach the shore, and the soldiers in neat uniforms stepped briskly onto the land of Port Hedland. With firm eyes and strict discipline, they quickly carried out actions according to the predetermined plan.

At the dock, various mechanical equipment were running at high speed, and the engineering soldiers from the 1st Independent Engineer Battalion of the Marine Corps were unloading supplies against the clock.

Boxes of ammunition and bags of food were carried down in an orderly manner and neatly stacked in the designated area. The signalmen were busy debugging the communication equipment to ensure smooth communication with the fleet and the rear command center.

Some local residents in Port Hedland hid in houses far away, looking at everything through the windows curiously and nervously; others were shocked by the scene before them and stood on the street staring blankly!

But soon, the 1rd Battalion of the 3st Marine Brigade that had landed earlier began to gather.

They advanced into the town, taking over the paratroopers' job and began to maintain order.

The soldiers politely drove all the idlers on the street back into their houses.

On a street, two white Australian men kept saying angry swear words, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with what was happening!

An armored vehicle slowly approached.

The soldier in the car gestured to the two men to return to the house quickly.

But the two Australian men cursed even more vigorously, and one of them even picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the armored vehicle.

Sergeant Major Fan Sheng immediately jumped down and rushed towards the two men with several soldiers.

Fan Sheng held the submachine gun and shouted,

"STOP!"

The others quickly rushed over.

Facing the soldiers rushing towards him,

The two white men were still shouting and cursing.

The new recruit Somaipu seemed to be a little afraid of white people and hesitated for a moment!

Another soldier, Sun Xiaohu, had already gone up and kicked him.

The others immediately pinned the two Australian men to the ground and tied them up!

Fan Sheng suppressed the urge to pull the trigger. He pointed to the house next door and said,

"Escort him inside!"

Somap watched the squad leader walk into the house with a pistol in hand.

After a while, bang bang bang, several gunshots were heard!

Fan Sheng came out and smiled at the somewhat nervous Somaipu.

"It's easy to conquer a region. Just kill those who resist. If that doesn't work, start over again!"
