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

Sydney,

As the low roar of engines in the sky came closer and closer, 23 F-86D fighter jets cut through the clouds like giant steel birds.

The airport tower quickly went into high alert, and ground crews had already lined up and were waving guidance flags, marking a striking guidance route on the open apron. The first F-86D fighter jet lowered its altitude, and its landing gear stretched out steadily like a mechanical claw, and slowly landed on the runway!

Major Gray, captain of the 9st Flight Squadron of the 1th Fighter Wing, breathed a sigh of relief as they finally arrived at their destination. The moment the canopy was opened, a cool breeze wafted into his nose. Gray realized that it was now May, the autumn in the southern hemisphere!

The pilots began to gather on the runway, talking among themselves.

"From Busan to Okinawa, from Okinawa to Guam, from Guam to Guinea, from Guinea to Australia, oh my God!"

"This is more tiring than participating in three consecutive air battles!"

"What's going on in Australia? Why are they transferring us here from so far away in South Korea?"

Gray listened to the complaints of his pilots, and he felt very heavy in his heart. The Haizhou Air Force might be the strongest opponent they had ever encountered.

Before leaving, Colonel James, the commander of the wing, had already told him about the war situation in Australia. The situation was extremely serious.

The 2nd Air Force suffered heavy casualties, with more than 1000 pilots killed alone.

Among the five air forces of the entire U.S. Air Force, the 2nd and 5th Air Forces have the most combat experience and the most veteran pilots!

The current situation is that the 2nd Air Force can no longer hold on!

A jeep quickly came to the pilot, and a second lieutenant jumped out of the car and came to Gray.

"Major, this is a telegram for you!"

Gray took the telegram, which read:

"Take a break for an hour and then move to Melbourne immediately!"

He sighed deeply. The orders one after another made it almost impossible to breathe. They were like death warrants!

An hour later, all the planes were refueled, took off again and flew towards Melbourne Airport!

Augusta,

30 km west,

Next to the railway,

24 100mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns painted in desert camouflage slowly deployed their hydraulic supports, with their gun barrels raised and pointing towards the gray sky. The thick anti-magnetic armor glowed coldly in the sunlight, and the Indonesian national emblem on the side of the turret was shining.

Near the anti-aircraft gun, three mobile artillery radar vehicles were lifting up their canvas camouflage. The diamond-shaped phased array antennas were erected by hydraulic rods, like giant steel wings unfolding, and the intricate electronic tubes in the vehicle body made a subtle hum.

"Attention all artillery positions, adjust the radar scanning angle to 270 degrees!" The hoarse command of Hadi, commander of the 1st Independent Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion of Indonesia, exploded through the battlefield radio.

Augusta has completely fallen into the hands of the coalition forces.

Army Aviation Commander Zhang Wenjiu ordered the construction of three airports in Augusta! This will become an important base for attacking the Allied forces on the East Coast!

He knew very well that the Allied forces would never give up, so in order to strengthen the anti-aircraft firepower, he transferred all the Indonesian Independent 1st and 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalions stationed in Reed to the front line!

Stationed right next to the airport construction site!

All the equipment of these two anti-aircraft artillery battalions are the latest products of Haizhou National Arsenal, and the two battalion commanders and hundreds of technical soldiers have received four months of advanced training at the New Mulan City Artillery Academy!

Starting from New Year's Day in 1953, except for the navy and air force, all technical equipment of the army was released to the Indonesian troops without reservation.

Yin Xinjun certainly won't be stingy with an obedient dog, and his equipment will be updated in real time! The stronger the Indonesian army is, the more things it can help Haizhou State share!

The 3rd Flying Wing of the Haizhou National Army Aviation stationed in Reed did not passively wait for the completion of Augusta Airport, but continued to dispatch aircraft towards Adelaide to attract the US military to continue air combat!

Since the start of Operation Guixu, the 773rd Flying Wing had lost 69 Qinglong fighters, 617 Baihu bombers, and 430 pilots, while the 15st Flying Wing stationed in Perth had lost 4 Qinglong fighters, 326 Baihu bombers, Suzaku reconnaissance planes and pilots!

Although the losses were heavy, the two flying squadrons received combat damage replenishment every day, so they still maintained full strength!

By 1953, Haizhou Kingdom had almost achieved a stable supply of pilots, with thousands of pilots graduating from various aviation schools almost every month and assigned to various units!

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Yin Xinjun dared to fight a war of attrition in Australia. The production of aircraft and the training of pilots both reached a new level in 1953!

Melbourne Airport,

Colonel James, commander of the 5th Fighter Wing of the 9th Air Force, summoned his six squadron leaders to deploy combat missions.

Although they were all very tired and had traveled more than 8,000 kilometers to get here, they had no time to rest. The situation on the front line was becoming increasingly tense.

The veterans of the 2nd Air Force were almost wiped out, and the war losses had not yet been replaced. The domestic production of military aircraft in the United States was far from reaching its maximum capacity, which resulted in their replenishment speed being very slow.

James pointed to Augusta on the blackboard and said,

"Here, according to the reconnaissance aircraft's report, Haizhou is building an airport on a large scale. Our combat mission today is to destroy their airport. Do you have any questions?"

"Colonel, is Haizhou's Qinglong fighter better than the Volunteer Army's J-2?" A squadron leader asked first.

"Of course, according to the battle reports, the J-2 and our F86D have their own strengths, and after evaluation, the Qinglong fighter is superior to our F86D in almost every aspect!"

Gray hesitated for a moment, but raised his hand.

"Colonel, will we be intercepted by enemy aircraft?"

James nodded.

"Of course. We don't have air supremacy right now. Augusta suffered a devastating bombing this time. Two divisions and more than 5 people were killed. If our th Air Force hadn't arrived, their next target would probably be Melbourne!"

If you arrange the major cities in eastern Australia from west to east along the coastline, they are Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, and Brisbane! 70% of Australia's population is gathered here!

Adelaide had suffered many heavy bombings in the early days. The port, airport and city hall were all reduced to ruins and have not been repaired yet!

Therefore, James's guess still makes sense!

After hearing this, the squadron leaders all looked unhappy, especially Gray, whose face turned pale.

Their several squadrons suffered astonishingly heavy casualties in the battles with the Volunteer Air Force in the past two years. Gray has only been in the army for two years, and his squadron has almost undergone a 200% replacement. A large number of so-called veterans have just been trained in the past two years, and they have survived many life-threatening situations to survive until now!

If it were to deal with the Qinglong fighter jets of Shanghai State, the hope of survival would undoubtedly be even slimmer!
