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

Perth, Australia

Since the fierce fighting between the two sides in recent times has mainly taken place in the air,

The confrontation on the ground became quiet instead!

The coalition forces gave up the attack and retreated 100 kilometers. The Allied forces did not dare to attack rashly because they did not have absolute air superiority! The thinking of both sides was surprisingly consistent. If there is no air superiority, then I will lie down first!

So in the past few days, the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the US Marine Corps and two regiments of the Australian Army defending Perth have built a large number of fortifications and fortresses on various streets in the city, and even dug many tunnels!

The two sides fought on and off, and the air battle slowly continued until the end of April. The US military lost more than 1200 aircraft, while Haizhou lost 963.

Due to the equipment of ejection seats and the fact that the air combat mainly took place on the front line of Haizhou State's defense zone, the survival rate of Haizhou State's pilots reached 55%. Yin Xinjun liked this pace very much, because the damage to these aircraft was really a piece of cake for him. The production speed was greater than the loss. His only worry was that the training of pilots could not keep up!

But Americans are beginning to feel that they can't afford this loss! Since the Korean War, the US government's military funding has remained high, and the fiscal deficit has begun to appear! For Australia, this pig teammate, the United States has spent 830 billion US dollars. The latest war funding plan was not passed by the Senate!

So in May, the US military's proactive offensive came to a standstill. Admiral Pate, the commander-in-chief of the front line, originally planned to lead the aircraft carrier around the west coast to find the main force of the Haizhou Navy for a decisive battle. But now he has completely given up this idea because the Philippines on the northern line has been completely defeated!

To be precise, it was completely bombed to pieces. The Haizhou State dispatched an average of 2000 bomber sorties every day, dropping tons of napalm bombs. It bombed the Philippines for a week in a row, destroying all the country's airports, ports, barracks and other military facilities!

It is said that the Philippine government requested to withdraw the only infantry battalion they sent from North Korea, and kept begging the United States to remain neutral and not continue to interfere in this war! The price is too high!

Without indirect support from the north, it would be easy for Petr's aircraft carrier formation to drive over, but once all the carrier-based aircraft were destroyed, it would be dangerous! After all, the United States is not like World War II, with only 15 aircraft carriers left, and each one is very valuable!

In the city of Perth,

The night was like thick ink that permeated the city of Pass. Private Evans of the 2nd Marine Regiment of the United States was taking a nap leaning against a sandbag.

The aroma of roasted beans wafted from the military tents, and there were occasional laughs and noises in the distance. The footsteps of the patrol dragged on the cobblestone road into a hypnotic rhythm. This Marine Corps camp stationed in the old city square was as quiet and sleepy as usual tonight.

After waking up, Evans rubbed his sore shoulders and hugged the M1 Carbine tighter. He thought of the letter his mother sent from Pennsylvania three days ago, and the photo clipped in his shirt pocket, which had been worn to the edges - his sister was holding a newborn golden retriever, smiling with gaps in her teeth.

When will this damn war end? He missed home. Just as he was lost in thought, a sharp scream suddenly came from the night sky!

A cannon shot ripped through the night sky.

The explosion was as piercing as a giant tearing apart iron sheets, and Evans was knocked to the ground by the blast. Shrapnel flew by his ears, and a dazzling fire lit up in the darkness. The ammunition depot on the east side of the camp exploded in the second wave of shelling, and the orange-red fireball instantly engulfed three comrades who were carrying supplies. Evans groped his way to the bunker in the thick smoke and saw a steel helmet rolling in the sea of ​​fire, bringing up a string of dark red blood beads.

"Hide! Hide!" The company commander's roar was mixed with explosions. The third round of artillery fire sounded, and a shell accurately fell into the trench. Evans' chest felt like it was hit by a hammer. His consciousness was gradually dissipating. At the last moment, he suddenly remembered what the instructor of the recruit camp said: "The most deadly thing is not the visible enemy, but the god of death hidden in the darkness." At this moment, the dark night of the entire city of Pers became the hunting ground of the god of death.

this night,

The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Haizhou National Army suddenly mobilized all the large-caliber long-range self-propelled artillery of its battalions, advanced to 10 kilometers north of Pers, and launched round after round of full-coverage artillery bombardment on the city!

At dawn,

22 Qinglong fighters covered 9 White Tiger bombers and launched another fierce bombing on Pas!

Immediately, two Indonesian army regiments, under the cover of more than 100 tanks, launched a fierce attack on Pas!

In the air, forty-six Yue Fei fighter planes of the Naval Aviation were hovering and fighting with the F86 and F4U fighter planes of the US military that came to support!

Australia's southern waters,

USS Hornet,

Admiral Pete looked at the carrier-based aircraft taking off nervously, feeling very complicated. In the recent air battles,

The Navy's carrier-based aircraft losses were too great. The pilots on the Hornet were basically replaced! The four aircraft carriers lost more than 600 aircraft!

What made Pate feel incredible was that it seemed as if the enemy's planes were endless. For more than ten days in a row, more than a hundred planes were dispatched every day!

Today was another big air battle, with more than two hundred fighter planes dispatched from both sides!

A voice came from behind him.

"Commander, the radar operator reports that another enemy aircraft has been spotted, only 40 nautical miles away from our aircraft carrier!"

In the past five days, enemy planes have flown near the aircraft carrier every day. Petr knows that his huge fleet cannot be hidden at all. The radar on the aircraft can usually detect ships 5 nautical miles away, especially large ships like aircraft carriers, which can be detected at a distance of 40 nautical miles!

"Did the plane take off and intercept?"

"It's taken off. However, it's still flying very high, at least meters. It will probably be difficult to shoot it down!"

"Got it. Don't worry about it. We must keep half of the carrier-based aircraft to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on the aircraft carrier!"

"Yes!"

What Pet was worried about was not the enemy's aircraft carriers. Haizhou Kingdom only had two aircraft carriers. Although he had never seen them, according to the US military standards, they had at most 200 aircraft. What he was worried about was the enemy's air force on land!

Meters high,

On a black-eyed reconnaissance plane of Haizhou State,

Pilot Wang Lele looked at the approaching light spot on the radar screen, pulled the joystick, and quickly turned around and left!

Behind him, Scout Wei Qiang said into the microphone,

"I can see clearly, there are only four aircraft carrier formations!"

In the past few days, the aircraft carrier Guiying dispatched several reconnaissance aircraft to conduct large-scale reconnaissance of the southern waters of Australia. Only these four aircraft carrier formations were deployed within a radius of 1000 nautical miles!
