Age of Rebirth

According to the order of General Jeffrey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, the more than 20 Allied troops who desperately retreated to the major cities in southeastern Australia did not go smoothly.

In the sky, Japanese fighter jets and bombers were like swarms of locusts, howling strangely all over the sky, chasing and chasing to bomb, bombing whatever they saw, roads, bridges, passes, transportation hubs, a few people, and a car, all became The target of the Japanese combat aircraft attack, the entire southeastern region of Australia, was filled with gunpowder and smoke, covering the sky and the sun, and fireworks were everywhere.

On the ground, the fast mobile troops of the Japanese army, like sharp knives, rushed forward desperately. The southeastern part of Australia was in chaos. They realized the fatal crisis. The commander, Admiral Fernandez, issued a death order to the air force commander, "The combat forces of the Allied Air Force will provide air fire cover for the retreating Allied ground forces at any cost!"

On the ground, the retreating Allied troops of more than 20 people panicked. In the sky, tragic fights were being staged all the time. In the sky, there was a big fight. The number of fighters and bombers on both sides originally belonged to the Allied side with a slight advantage. Otherwise, it would not be able to regain more than half of the air supremacy on the Australian battlefield.

However, with the rapid approach of the Japanese army's fast troops, the frantic destruction of the small elite troops that sneaked in ahead of time, and the lack of sufficient troops to protect ([-]) (this) (reading) novels, field airports were captured and lost one after another. Yes, there are also combat aircraft on the airport that are too late to take off.

Major General Noda, commander of the Joint Air Force of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force.He was also red-eyed, and there was only one order to the commanders of the air force, "Attack the Allied forces at all costs!"

Previously.After the ground troops launched an offensive and achieved impressive results, the United Air Force did not have a chance to make a move. Seeing that the Imperial Army troops on the ground broke through the second line of defense of the Allied Forces overnight, and their own United Air Force, But he became a spectator in this big battle that changed the outcome of the Australian war.This made Major General Noda, who claimed to be the proud son of the imperial army in the air, extremely depressed.

Finally, when he got the chance to make a move, Major General Noda was holding back his stomach.He took out all his wealth and attacked like crazy. He just showed General Ito what the imperial army on the ground could not do.We of the Empire watch the eagle.But it can be done!

Major General Ito issued an order to the commanders of the various air teams, "You should immediately station and take over any Allied field airfields occupied by the imperial army, so that they become outposts for the imperial army.

When those Japanese fighter pilots took the risk of landing their fighter jets on the field airports that were still filled with gunpowder smoke, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there were many unscathed fighter jets parked on the runways and hangars of many field airports.Moreover, it is the Imperial Japanese Air Force.The most proud "Zero" fighter!

The undamaged and ready-to-use field airfield, and the fighter jets that can take off into the air with full fuel and ammunition, are gifts from Amaterasu God to the air warriors of the Empire of Japan. Major General Noda, who received the report from his subordinates, was very happy Laughing wildly with big mouths, one ebbs and another, the sky of Australia will soon be dominated by the eagles in the sky of the Empire!

It's really sad that the Allied forces responsible for guarding these field airfields retreated in such a haste that they didn't even have time to destroy the airfield, and left everything to the Japanese for nothing. A few bombs or a few fires, but Patronizing on fleeing for their lives, the bad roots in the bones of Europeans and Americans are completely exposed.

On the Australian battlefield, the tragic aerial battle continued until May [-]rd. The frontline field airports were lost one after another. The Australian Allied Air Force, which lacked supplies and had no follow-up power, finally exhausted its last combat power and was unable to provide support for the retreating Allied forces. The ground forces, having provided effective air cover, were no longer able to fight against the Japanese aircraft fleet, and retreated to air defense defense of several key cities. The air supremacy of the Australian battlefield fell into the hands of the Japanese army again.

It was the turn of the Allied ground troops without air cover to suffer, and every kilometer retreated had to pay a considerable price. On May [-], they were out of breath and exhausted, and were chased and beaten by the Japanese air fleet and ground rapid troops. The Australian allied forces finally saw the traces of the cities on the distant horizon.

On May [-]th, more than [-] Australian allied troops, who had been hit hard and staggered along the way, entered cities such as Yalawax, Benugo, and Orange, and began to deploy, preparing to fight the Japanese army. A large-scale street battle was not bad, and it finally grabbed the front of more than a dozen fast detachments of the Japanese army and won a chance to breathe.

The Australian Allied Forces Command, on the other hand, ran all the way and withdrew directly to Melbourne. The commander, Lieutenant General Bachlisman, and the deputy commander, General Fernandez, hurriedly ordered the troops stationed in the city to deploy troops without taking a breath. , Immediately report the situation of the existing troops and weapons and equipment of the headquarters.

According to the estimates of the two people, in addition to the first batch of retreating Allied troops, plus the scattered troops that were gathered along the way and managed to break through from the second line of defense, they must have more than 30 troops in their hands now.

However, the strength of the troops reported by each unit was like a basin of cold water. Two lucky commanders were poured into it, and the other was cold-hearted. Even counting the wounded soldiers who could barely walk, it only took more than ten days. , the Australian Allied Forces, which originally had nearly 80 troops, now only have about 26 people left. What is even more frightening is that because the Allied Forces Command ordered the first batch of retreating Allied Forces to carry only light weapons, the current Allied Forces The army did not even have a heavy artillery or a tank in their hands.

However, there are more than a dozen cities that need to defend and fight street battles, especially Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney are the three port cities that must be protected. They are the last retreat of the Australian Allied Forces. On average, each city's The defensive force is less than 2, and it lacks the heavy equipment necessary for defense.

Lieutenant General Bachlissmann and General Fernandez, who looked bitter, had no choice but to issue an order, "The defenders in each city immediately collect all the heavy equipment on the spot, step up the construction of city fortifications, and resolutely resist the Japanese attack. There is no headquarters. Even if you fight to the last person, you must not take a step back, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

The two of them also knew in their hearts how effective the command of the headquarters is now. After leaving a defensive force of no more than 1 in several cities in southeastern Australia, Lieutenant General Bachlisman and General Fernandez then More than 4 troops were concentrated in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney as key defensive areas. Even so, the defensive strength of each place did not exceed [-], while the Japanese army had more than one million.

The two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces, who were battered and worried all day long, were busy recruiting residents of various cities to join the defense force. General MacArthur suddenly came to the door and offered to fight.

This surprised Lieutenant General Bachlisman and General Fernandez. Lieutenant General MacArthur pretended not to see the surprised and suspicious eyes of the two commanders, and said bluntly: "The situation in the Australian battlefield has changed suddenly. The hope of keeping Australia is quite slim, so in order not to wipe out the whole army, I volunteered to go to the West Indies immediately to make some preparations in advance for the Allied forces that are about to retreat, which is also my duty!"

Lieutenant General Bachlisman and General Fernandez understood everything at once, "At the most critical moment in the Australian war, this bastard should run away first, just like when he left hundreds of thousands of US dollars in Luzon Island. Army soldiers, it’s like escaping to Australia by yourself!”

I have seen shameless people, I have never seen such shameless people, and they are both beautiful people. Although Lieutenant General Bachlisman extremely loathes and despises MacArthur's actions, in front of his deputy, in front of the British, he also It's hard to say anything, but the eyes are cold and silent, pretending to be buried in the snowflakes of telegrams!

But Admiral Fernandez didn't care about that. Originally, I hated this self-proclaimed, but worthless Yankee from the bottom of my heart, and I felt sick when I saw him. Now, this American bastard is about to run away again. He said without concealment: "Lieutenant General MacArthur, you are the leader of the military observation team sent by the Allied Forces Headquarters to the Australian battlefield. You are not from the Australian Allied Forces Command, and you have no affiliation. Wherever you want to go, you are welcome!"

"The Australian Allied Forces Command has no power to stop you or order you to do anything, but you don't want to use the name of the Australian Allied Forces Command. All your actions are personal actions, and the Australian Allied Forces Command not related!"

"I'm very busy here now, please leave immediately and don't disturb my work. Of course, if Commander Bachlisman has time, you can talk alone!"

Admiral Fernandez's words are direct and clear enough, you can go wherever you like, and get out of here, the meaning of disgust and contempt is beyond words, if it is not for the sake of maintaining a gentleman's demeanor and scruples about Bachlisman's face, he They must order the guards to drive away this American bastard who is known for running away immediately, and even his boss is resentful!

Lieutenant General Bachlisman, how could he fail to understand what this British man meant? He was also ashamed of an embarrassing guy in the ranks of the American generals, and he didn't care about it. The bastard with a human face said bluntly: "I'm sorry, General MacArthur, I have a lot of military affairs in my hands now, and there is no time to waste. You just listen to it!"

The two commanders of the Australian Allied Command expressed their attitudes, but the strange thing is that Lieutenant General MacArthur did not mean to leave immediately.
