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

Early the next morning,

Jia Donghui received the order to continue the attack!

After breakfast,

As the artillery fire continued indiscriminately for an hour,

The attack finally began.

The main attackers were the 5th Regiment of the Indonesian Army.

This time, they learned their lesson.

Under the guidance of military advisers,

Use small groups of troops to explore and scout.

And at the back, there are tanks, recoilless guns and other heavy firepower. Once the enemy is discovered, they will use firepower to cover it!

Australian soldiers could be seen in almost every piece of ruins and every building, which led to the slow advancement of the Indonesian troops. After a day of fierce fighting, they only controlled one block!

Night came,

The sky gradually darkened.

When night fell completely, more than 500 soldiers from the 26nd Battalion, 2th Australian Regiment, took advantage of the cover of darkness and sneaked silently towards the streets occupied by the Indonesian army.

The regiment commander, Colonel Allen, received a death order from his superiors to hold out in Perth for at least 5-7 days, and starting tomorrow, reinforcements and supplies will arrive!

Moreover, the superiors also emphasized that this is a political task, to let the Americans see that the Australian army is fighting bravely to resist the invasion from foreign enemies!

At the street corner, two bonfires were lit, illuminating the surroundings.

There were only three intact buildings left in the entire block, and the Indonesian army was hiding in these buildings.

The Australian soldiers approached the intersection stealthily. They observed for a while and began to detour from the side. This way, the possibility of being discovered in the dark was much smaller!

However, the Indonesian army also set up an ambush post in the ruins, and the sound of the Australian soldiers' movements quickly awakened the sentry!

With the sound of gunfire,

The Australian troops knew they had been exposed, but they still rushed forward desperately, approaching the three buildings!

The Indonesian army resisted stubbornly with the makeshift fortifications they built in the streets, and dense bullets rained down on them.

However, the soldiers of the 26th Australian Regiment did not flinch, and they used the ruins on the street as cover and kept approaching the enemy. In the fierce exchange of fire, soldiers from both sides fell, but their will to fight became more and more intense.

As the battle continued, the Australians gradually gained the upper hand with their numerical advantage. They successfully occupied three buildings, recaptured the blocks lost during the day, and killed more than 50 Indonesian soldiers!

When the final battle report came, Allen was overjoyed. Originally, they were the only ones left to defend the place alone with less than 2000 people.

Since there are only more than 5 Australian troops left, the remaining troops are gathered and deployed in Adelaide, South Australia, which is where their defense line actually starts!

But after the United States decided to intervene, the superiors changed their minds and planned to defend Perth to the death and focus the battlefield as much as possible in the southern part of Western Australia, so that the capital Canberra would have a longer depth buffer!

Of course, the most fundamental reason for all this is that with the arrival of the US military, Australia no longer has to worry about the possibility of the Haizhou fleet landing in Victoria and New South Wales!

At dawn, the morning light is just beginning to appear, and the golden sunlight sprinkles on the earth gently like a veil, bringing brightness and warmth to the world.

Mido, a local living near the U.S. military's Clark Air Base in the Philippines, went out early as usual to work in the fields.

When passing by the base, he was shocked by the scene before him.

On the runway of the base, planes landed one after another from high altitude, and the roar of their engines was deafening.

The planes were lined up closely, and the logos on their fuselages gleamed with metallic luster in the morning light.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Mido's eyes. The American military planes finally arrived, and his fortune had also arrived!

He stopped and hid behind a bush in the distance, silently counting the planes that had landed. One, two, three... There were 47 of them, of all types, and the weapons mounted on some of them were clearly visible.

Mido's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, he was already recalling what Lin Younan said to him that day!

"As long as you find more than ten planes in the base, come and find me. I've written the address on a piece of paper. I'll go there for a cup of coffee every afternoon at 3 o'clock!"

Lin Younan is an Indonesian Chinese, and Mido is a Filipino Chinese. There is no problem in communication between the two.

That day, Lin Younan came to the vicinity of the base and wandered around for a long time. He happened to see Mido on his way home, and they started chatting!

In the evening, the generous Lin Younan invited Mido to the town for a beer! The two sides talked more and more, and finally, Lin Younan finally told Mido his purpose. He wanted to entrust Mido to observe one thing every day, which was to observe how many planes there were in Clark Base!

As long as it's beyond the cross, come and tell him!

What Lin Younan assigned to Mido was a simple job, which could be said to be a cheap job that could make money for free. At least that's what Mido thought. When they met for the first time, Lin Younan generously gave Mido 5000 pesos as an advance payment!

And this amount of money is equivalent to Mido’s income for two years!

After observing for more than two hours, Mido was no longer in the mood to work. His mind was full of those planes. He hurried back home, took out the note Lin Younan wrote to him, took out 100 pesos, and boarded the bus to Manila!

At noon, Miguel finally arrived in Manila. Following the address on the note, he came to the vicinity of the Indonesian Embassy and quietly walked into an inconspicuous alley. At the end of the alley, there was a simply decorated cafe.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Younan really came! Seeing Mi Duo, he was also slightly startled. Mi Duo walked over and sat down opposite Lin Younan. The two of them made eye contact without much greeting.

Mido lowered his voice and told Hassan everything he saw at Clark Air Force Base in detail. After Lin Younan heard this, his face became solemn. He listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After Mido finished speaking, Lin Younan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your information is very important. You have done an excellent job. Mido, this is your reward! If you have new information in the future, come to another address!"

As he spoke, Lin Younan took out a bulging envelope from his briefcase and continued,

"I've written the address for our next meeting on the back of the envelope. Just tell the boss of the store what you know. Remember, the boss's name is Harry!"

Lin Younan is gone.

Mido couldn't wait to open the envelope, and found a whole peso in it! He smiled happily, and this money was enough for him to buy a motorcycle!
