Rise of Australia

Chapter 231 The Bird in the Sky

boom!Boom!Boom boom boom boom!

Following bursts of roars and explosions, gorgeous fireworks erupted from the positions built by the Portuguese in front of them, followed by exclamations and wailings in different dialects, but they were soon accompanied by artillery fire The continuous bombing gradually dissipated.

Of course, it may not be dissipated.It's just that the successive explosions of artillery fire completely covered up the wailing of the Portuguese and the natives.

"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!"

"Attention to concealment, attention to concealment!"

"Damn, probably Australasians, how did they come so soon?"

"Go and inform the commander and the others that the Australasians are coming!"

Fortunately, the Portuguese soldiers who were not affected by the bombing ran out of the bombing area.

When the Portuguese army successfully reacted and rushed to the vicinity of the position, it was already more than ten minutes later.

At this time, the first round of bombing had already ended, and the explosion of a large number of shells stained the Portuguese position with black eyes.

If a careful person looks carefully, he may be able to find some fragments of limbs and some digging tools abandoned in the corner.

"Everyone, enter the position and defend against the enemy!" The Portuguese soldiers frantically conveyed the order.

This position under construction is Dili's first and only line of defense.

To be honest, for a small city with a population of more than 2 to be able to build such a large-scale line of defense, it still has to rely on a large number of indigenous people.

Without these natives, let alone building a line of defense, the city would have already been destroyed in the first round of bombing.

The first round of bombing by the First Division was very effective. Many temporarily built positions had collapsed, and the exposed artillery positions that had not yet practiced Zen also disappeared in this bombing.

Although there is still a relatively strong trench, which can be used as a front-line defensive position.

But General Silvio Lonnie Rodling said it was wishful thinking to use this trench to stop the first division's offensive.

Looking at the time on the watch, he realized that it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.

General Silvio Lonnie Rodling muttered to himself, "Those guys should be here soon, right?"

"Stop the bombing and let the Portuguese enter their positions." General Silvio Lonnie Rodling suddenly ordered.

Although the artillerymen did not understand the intention of General Silvio Lonnie Rodling's order, they still obediently stopped their loading actions.

Seeing this, the Portuguese army finally breathed a sigh of relief. Under the order of its garrison commander, a large number of soldiers rushed into the position.

Of course, the longest construction time and the strongest trench area, the influx must be the Portuguese army.

Some temporarily built simple positions, as well as some semi-collapsed defensive positions, are guarded by those native troops.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the indigenous army, all the low-level officers of the indigenous army are all Portuguese.

And the garrison commander of Portuguese Timor also dispatched a supervisory team to supervise every move of the indigenous troops.

As long as those native troops dared to back down in the slightest, they would be greeted by ruthless bullets from the supervisor team.

In this way, a delicate truce was maintained between the [-]st Division and the Portuguese army.

The Portuguese soldiers waited in fear for the Australasian charge, while the soldiers of the [-]st Division, under the orders of General Silvio Lonnie Rodling, hid in the distance.

on the Portuguese front.

At first, the Portuguese were a little scared.Because the explosions just now were very frequent, it seemed as if thousands of artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and the shells came head-on like a torrential rain.

Although the main force of the Portuguese soldiers was not affected by the bombing, the vibration and sound caused by the explosion also made the Portuguese soldiers feel the despair and panic from the suppression of firepower.

This is why even though the bombing of the First Division had stopped for more than ten minutes, the Portuguese soldiers did not dare to counterattack with artillery fire.

Firstly, the Portuguese artillery positions have been destroyed, and the number of Portuguese garrison artillery is not much. No matter in terms of quantity or quality, it is impossible to be the opponent of Australasia.

"Soldiers, the Australasians have run out of shells! Although the bombing was frequent just now, it also consumed most of the ammunition reserves of the Australasians. Take heart, as long as you hold your position and wait for our reinforcements to arrive, all of you Everyone will be the heroes of the kingdom, and His Majesty the King will personally award you honors!" Cafe Ferjo, the commander of the Portuguese Timorese garrison, quickly gathered the morale of the army.

Hearing the garrison commander's explanation, coupled with the fact that the shelling of the Australasians had indeed stopped, the Portuguese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the natives also began to rejoice that they were able to survive temporarily.

Buzz~buzz~buzz~

There was a sudden hum in the position that fell into a brief silence, which made the Portuguese soldiers look stunned.

It is winter in the southern hemisphere, and there are not many mosquitoes on Timor Island, let alone causing such a large-scale buzz.

So where does this buzz come from?Can't all the Portuguese soldiers get it wrong?
"My God, look at the sky, there are a few big birds!" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly noticed the abnormality in the sky and screamed.

"Oh, shit! How can there be such a big bird? Is this group of guys making the buzzing sound?"

The Portuguese soldiers had never seen such a strange big bird, and they watched in amazement.

"Okay, watch out for the Australasian sneak attack. This may be a novel species we have never seen in this land, and we will have plenty of time to study it after the war is over. Listen, boys, the soldiers who killed the most enemies, I personally ask for credit for him, and ask His Majesty to confer a title on him!" Kafei Fierho also naturally noticed the abnormality in the sky, but he didn't take it seriously.

Hearing Cafe Ferjo's words, many Portuguese soldiers showed excitement and involuntarily held the guns in their hands tightly.

The monarchy of the Kingdom of Portugal has a long history, and the nobility is also one of the most powerful classes in the Kingdom of Portugal.

Everyone has a noble dream, and war is one of the ways to become noble.

After hearing the buzzing, General Silvio Lonnie Rodling smiled, nodded and said, "Artillery, make a little noise for this group of guys, and the best results can be achieved by surprise attacks. "

Soldiers in Australasia naturally heard the hum and saw strange things in the sky.

However, as well-trained soldiers, they know that the first thing they have to do is to carry out military orders.

boom!
The bombing of the First Division sounded again, but this time the frequency was much weaker than the last time, and the shell consumption was only about one-fifth of the previous indiscriminate attack.

The position was bombed again, and the most nervous ones were naturally the Portuguese soldiers.

However, after hearing that the bombing frequency was significantly reduced this time, General Cafe Ferjo smiled confidently and asked the soldiers to convey their own words: "The Australasian's shell reserves are running out, so hold on to this round of bombing." , Wait for the enemy to get close before counterattacking with all your strength!"

After the messenger went to convey the order, General Cafe Ferjo hid in the stronger trench that was specially reinforced with cement next to him.

This kind of hidden point was already planned when the trench was dug, and because of the common use of cement structure, the degree of firmness was higher than that of ordinary trenches.

Such cement facilities are connected to the trenches, but because the area where they are connected is a corner with a huge angle, it can effectively prevent the shock wave to the side after the shells fall into the trenches.

Basically, there will be such a concrete structure every 100 meters in the trench, which is used to provide the soldiers who are bombed as a safe place to hide.

This round of bombing came and went quickly. Except for the indigenous soldiers who were not protected by concrete structures, the casualties of the Portuguese soldiers were not large.

This also greatly strengthened the confidence of the Portuguese soldiers to win the war. The soldiers in Australasia are not very good. Apart from hiding in the distance and throwing shells, they dare not even formally charge.

hum~
The more obvious buzzing interrupted the guessing of the Portuguese. Many people looked up, their pupils suddenly widened.

What they thought was a big bird in the sky was dropping black spots one after another.

Those black dots continued to enlarge in the pupils of the Portuguese soldiers, and finally turned into shells.

"It's shells! Dodge! Dodge!" Kafe Ferjo was the first to discover this situation.

After the sky gradually dropped some black spots, General Kafe Ferjo curiously used a telescope to see what these black spots were.

The result surprised Kafei Fairho.Those in the sky were not big birds at all, but machine after machine that looked like birds.

And those machines are dropping shells one after another, and the landing point directly below the shells is the position of the Portuguese.

It's a pity that it only took a few seconds from when General Cafe Ferrho discovered the situation and shouted out to when the shell exploded on the ground.

What can a few seconds do?How many times can you blink your eyes, how many times can you move your legs?
Except for a very few Portuguese soldiers who were relatively close to the concrete structure, the vast majority of Portuguese soldiers had no chance to escape from their positions into the concrete structure.

Coupled with the fact that everyone was unprepared, there were only a dozen or so Portuguese soldiers who actually entered the concrete structure.

boom!Boom!

Australasia dispatched a total of six bombers this time, all of whom were very experienced pilots.

These six bombers had a total of 36 shells in the first round, and they were all relatively large caliber bombs, with a very wide range of damage.

And the bombing was still being staged round after round. After the six bombers dropped all the bombs they carried, they returned swaggeringly.

On the Portuguese position, a scene even more tragic than the previous large-scale bombing was staged at this time.
