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

Perth, North,

Beside a road,

There was a strange car parked there.

Its body is a solid rectangle and is painted in a low-key military green camouflage, which blends well with the surrounding environment and prevents it from being easily discovered by enemy aircraft.

The body of the car is not too high and has a moderate width. Four wide tires support the body steadily. There are deep patterns on the surface of the tires, showing that it has the ability to travel on complex terrain.

On the top of the car stands a huge disc-shaped radar antenna with a fine grid on its surface, which is the key component for signal detection.

At this moment, the antenna slowly rotates, like a dormant giant beast, ready to sense threats from the air at any time. Some auxiliary equipment and brackets are also installed around the antenna, which together form a complex and sophisticated detection system.

This is the mobile radar vehicle of the Haizhou Army. Its air detection range can reach 200 kilometers. It is also one of the newest radar products in Yin Xinjun’s space!

Inside the car, radar operator Li Mingyu stared at the display screen that was emitting a faint blue fluorescent light, his fingertips moving rapidly on the control panel covered with buttons.

Suddenly, several fast-moving bright spots appeared on the edge of the screen, and his pupils suddenly contracted - that was not the echo of a flying bird, but a typical signal from a fighter plane! "Enemy planes spotted! Position 305, distance 187 kilometers, at least 6!" Li Mingyu shouted at the top of his voice, his voice echoing in the small compartment.

Following the captain's order,

The signalman immediately sent the encrypted telegram to each unit, his fingers tapping out a rapid rhythm on the keys.

At the same time, a huge task force appeared outside the port of Albany, a southern coastal city 400 kilometers away from Perth. It consisted of 4 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 8 cruisers, 17 destroyers and other 226 ships!

On the USS Hornet, Admiral Pate, commander of the task force, was closely following the development of the war. Since the US military began to intervene in Australian affairs, choosing where to land has become a key issue.

Due to the heroic resistance of the Australian army in Perth, where one regiment actually held out for eight days on its own, McCormick decided to choose the landing site on the southwest side of Australia and place the battlefield away from the densely populated areas in the southeast!

There was nothing wrong with his decision, but Admiral Pett felt it was a bit conservative. After all, he led four aircraft carrier battle groups, and he felt that the landing site should be on the west coast to directly cut off the retreat of the Haizhou Kingdom and the Indonesian coalition forces!

Pate's fleet carried more than 2 Allied troops, including the 17nd Marine Division, the 31th, 32st, and 4nd Infantry Divisions, the 1th Australian Division, the 3st Canadian Division, and the 9300rd British Brigade! The ground forces exceeded 11!

As the signal flag waved, landing craft were slowly lowered, splashing water. Allied soldiers filed down and jumped into the landing craft. The engines on the craft made a harsh sound and accelerated towards the port. The waves kept hitting the hull, causing it to shake violently. The soldiers tried to keep their balance in the bumps, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety about the unknown.

In the command room, an officer reported:

"General, the naval aviation just launched two rounds of air battles with the Haizhou Air Force over Perth, and 47 carrier-based aircraft have been lost!"

Pate was surprised.

"How much did the other party lose?"

"Well... the confirmed record of shot down is 29!"

Pet frowned. His four aircraft carriers only carried a total of 381 aircraft. If he could not quickly gain air superiority, he would be in great trouble later!

"Send a telegram to Commander McCormick, requesting that the air force enter Albany as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain air superiority relying solely on the naval aviation force!"

Sydney, Allied Headquarters,

McCormick looked extremely unhappy.

A staff officer next to him said,

"Clark Air Force Base was completely burned down. According to on-site assessment, it is no longer worth repairing!"

McCormick's heart was bleeding. He hadn't even warmed up to his position as the Allied commander-in-chief when he was dealt a heavy blow.

45 B29 Super Fortresses and 17 F86D fighter jets were all destroyed before even a single bomb was dropped!

This hidden force was originally intended by McCormick to be used to launch a surprise attack on the mainland of Haizhou when the fiercest battle in Australia was at its most intense! Now they have to rebuild an airport again!

McCormick ordered through gritted teeth!

"Telegram the Philippine government and ask them to provide us with an airport in the coastal area. Arrangements must be made within one week!"

The airports in the Philippines are all small airports. After taking them over, the engineering corps will need at least twenty days to expand and renovate them, so McCormick is so anxious!

"General, Pate called and said they have started landing in Albany. So far, 12 tons of supplies have been landed. Pate also mentioned that the Navy Air Force had a number of fierce battles with the Haizhou Air Force today, losing 47 aircraft. He asked the Army Air Force to rush to the Albany Airport!"

"Then send a telegram to General Li Mei and ask him to organize the troops to move in as soon as possible!"

Admiral Paddison, the British commander, said:

"The military strength of Haizhou must not be underestimated. The loss of our British Empire fleet to the enemy was definitely not accidental. Commander-in-Chief, you may think that what I said is alarmist, but we must take this matter seriously!"

The British were often ridiculed by European and American countries for the last time the British fleet was defeated by the Haizhou fleet. This time, seeing the Americans being defeated on the first day, Padison somehow felt a sense of pleasure in his heart!

Australian Armed Forces Commander McEwen also echoed this.

"Haizhou's military is very strong. I have a feeling that the intensity of this war in Australia will not be less than that of the Korean War!"

McCormick nodded.

"Everyone, I agree that this is definitely not a simple war that can be won quickly. I am ready for a long-term battle. Now let us unite our allies and show the morale and courage we had during World War II to resolutely defeat this evil opponent, the Haizhou Kingdom!"

A staff officer suddenly ran in.

"Generals, we have a call from the front line. The 2rd Regiment of the 3nd Marine Division encountered continuous air strikes on the way to reinforce Paz. The reinforcement has been stopped now. General Pate plans to send more troops tonight!"

In the room, everyone looked at each other in astonishment!
