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

South Australia,

Kalgoorlie Region,

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight pierce through the thick clouds,

The engineering machinery group from the 1st Independent Battalion of the Haizhou Army Engineer Corps was lined up beside the railway line like a steel behemoth. The roar was intertwined with the sound of train whistles, and a race against time to build a field airport began.

More than 20 crawler bulldozers roared towards the designated site. Their huge blades were like sharp fangs, tearing the hard gravel layer on the surface alive, raising reddish-brown dust all over the sky.

On the railway, flatbed trains loaded with building materials arrive continuously. As the giant steel arms of the cranes rise and fall, bundles of steel bars and tons of cement are accurately unloaded. Loaders then quickly transfer them and pile up small hills on the construction site.

Zhang Wenjiu decided to build a field airport at this transportation hub 490 kilometers away from Perth Airport.

The airport is located less than 1 kilometer away from the railway line, so a railway branch line needs to be built!

The first phase of the project plans to build two runways with a length of 3000 meters and a width of 40 meters! At the same time, there will be hangars, oil depots, ammunition depots and other ancillary facilities.

The planned construction period is 10 days!

During the construction of the airport, the army's ground forces also temporarily stopped advancing eastward, waiting for the airport to be completed!

At this moment, the Navy's First Task Force kept pace with the Army. They stayed along the coastline of South Australia, about 400 kilometers southeast of Perth Airport.

For the Qinglong fighter with a combat radius of 900 kilometers, 400 kilometers is a very comfortable defensive combat area! In this way, even if the aircraft carrier battle group is attacked, the Qinglong fighters at the Perth Airport can arrive to support within half an hour!

The ground forces advanced for 11 days and only advanced 500 kilometers. However, Yin Xinjun was not in a hurry at all. His goal was to advance steadily and ensure that he dealt a fatal blow to the enemy!

Although the main force stopped in the Kalgoorlie area, the armored reconnaissance company where Xu Yingchun was stationed and the 16th Infantry Regiment of the Indonesian Army still advanced 30 kilometers.

They came to a small town called Lorina. The town was not big, with only two streets and about 1000 households. However, when they saw the arrival of the troops, every household closed the doors and windows tightly!

After consultations between the Armored Reconnaissance Company and the Indonesian Army, they divided the garrison area. Xu Yingchun and his team came to several townhouse areas on the south side of the town.

There are four townhouses here, with three two-story villas in each row, a total of 12 sets, enough to accommodate the 86 officers and soldiers of the entire company!

The armored vehicles and trucks were parked neatly in front of the house in order.

As a rookie,

Xu Yingchun was the first to get off the armored vehicle.

He came to the door of the villa closest to the armored vehicle and pushed it, but it was locked!

Xu Yingchun knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came!

At this time, veteran Tong Zonghai kicked the door open from behind. His strength was so great that the wooden door cracked!

The room was quiet.

It seems there is no one!

The soldiers in the class rushed in!

After searching for a while, there was no one there.

The house was a bit messy, with sundries piled up everywhere, and some old clothes were scattered on the beds in the bedrooms.

It looks like this family has escaped!

There are four bedrooms in the house, three downstairs and one upstairs. Xu Yingchun went to the downstairs bedroom and lived with Qian Bing and Tong Zonghai from the class!

Xu Yingchun simply tidied up the room and looked at the big wooden bed in the room. He suddenly felt that he was not here to fight, but to travel.

It has been almost half a month since he set out, and he hasn't fired a single shot!

Xu Yingchun couldn't help but sigh!

Australia's southern waters,

The sea is calm and the sun is shining brightly!

1st Task Force,

The Navy's supply ship "Soybean!" and the aircraft carrier "Tso Zongtang!" slowly approached each other in the waves, and the signal lights on the bridge flickered, transmitting docking instructions.

As long as the weather is fine, the fleet will carry out sea replenishment. The entire task force consumes up to 3000 tons of fuel, food, fresh water and other supplies every day!

On the deck of "Soybean!", the crew members in dark blue work clothes were busy and orderly. In the left area, the thick oil pipeline had been connected to the aircraft carrier. The mottled metal valves were shining coldly. Several experienced non-commissioned officers were repeatedly checking the pressure gauge and the sealing of the interface.

With a whistle, the valve slowly turned, and the brown-black heavy oil was injected into the "Zuo Zongtang" through the pipeline. The shaking of the waves caused the pipeline to rise and fall. The crew kept a close eye on the instruments, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

On the other side, a huge supply gantry slowly rose, and supply boxes loaded with fresh water, food, ammunition and daily necessities were steadily hoisted. As the winch turned, the boxes drew an arc in the air along the steel cable and slowly moved toward the aircraft carrier. The sea breeze was howling, and the wooden boxes were shaking in the air. The receiving personnel on the "Wei Qing" were fully focused, and seized the moment when the wooden boxes fell, quickly unhooked the hooks, and transferred the supplies to the designated area on the deck. Boxes of compressed biscuits and fresh water barrels were neatly stacked, and boxes of ammunition were quickly transported to the ammunition depot.

After four hours of intensive work, "Soybean!" completed the supply of the aircraft carrier. Then, it approached the cruiser "Black Wind Ridge!" to continue the supply operation!

Meanwhile, on the sea not far away, the supply of the aircraft carriers "Qi Jiguang!" and "Weihushan!" was also being carried out simultaneously.

Today's supply operation is over. Two supply ships, including the "Soybean!", have returned to Port Hedland for replenishment because all the supplies they carried have been emptied. When they returned, the two supply ships fully loaded with supplies had already joined the task force!

The navy can be said to be the most expensive branch of the military, but for Yin Xinjun, this is a good opportunity to bring out his strength of unlimited resources, so he placed the focus of military construction on the navy!

Because we have already entered a state of wartime mobilization!

The country's three major shipyards, including Haizhou City, Kuching City, and Xinmulan City, were building ships like crazy. In the past 1952, Haizhou Kingdom launched a total of 107 million tons of ships. This number is about four times that of the United States in the same period!

At the same time, for this "Guixu!" operation,

Haizhou State allocated a total of 1500 billion yuan in special military expenditures! And the preparations began a year in advance!

The navy alone mobilized 9 ships, including 1 aircraft carriers, 8 battleship, and 127 cruisers!

Yin Xinjun's goal is to fight a war of attrition with the United States. His only shortcoming is personnel training. Thanks to the strong support of his motherland, the gap between him and his opponents is now getting smaller and smaller!
