Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 645 Glory

  Under the command of the division commander, Colonel Robert Jenric, the nickname is "full counterattack." The militiamen of the 17th Division lined up in a neat line to send them away, and soon the two regiments were beaten and disabled.

Both regiments are composed of extremely tough white ranchers and local cowboys. They are more conservative and extreme than city dwellers. They are also spurs who have always been violent. They did not urinate in a pot with their commander, Colonel Robert Jenric. .

  Since this is the case, then go to die.

In just two or three hours, without the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, the two regiments were unsurprisingly completely maimed. The officers who fled back were **** in the name of ineffective combat, and they couldn't help but give them. Execution.

After removing the greatest resistance, the division commander, Colonel Robert Jenric, discussed with the two Italian regiments. They surrendered decisively and joined the Northern Army in a counterattack. The 9th Division of the Militia, which was completely unprepared, hit all at once. Collapsed.

  At dusk, the sound of gunfire and cannons throughout East Melbourne still resounded throughout the world, and the landing troops successfully penetrated three blocks and extended the control area to the bank of the Yarra River.

Thus

  In the adjacent bay area, the west bank of the Yarra River controlled by the B Corps is connected to the east bank controlled by the landing forces. The mosquito speedboat only needs to travel between the two banks of the river to continuously transport personnel and troops.

  At the same time, the engineering unit began to repair the broken bridge with all its strength.

  The defense line along the Yarra River built by the Southern Federal Army became a joke, and it was easily broken. The Northern Army gained a solid and reliable foothold on the east bank of the river. This was a major blow to the defensive confidence of the white defenders.

  The brightly lit Confederate Army Command

The angry Admiral Gavin Williamson cursed the Italians loudly, and the roaring voice spread far away. A group of Italian officers who served in the Southern Federal Army were unlucky and dismissed the high-level army for no reason. Relegated to a basic-level military officer.

  Major-general was demoted to major, colonel to captain, and captain to second lieutenant, and he had to take the lead in the counterattack tomorrow morning, charging at the forefront.

The negative impact of the 17th Division’s backwaters on the Confederate Army of the South was too great. From the start of the war on October 22, it took five days to two months. The division-level unit that fought back on the battlefield was the 17th Division of the Victorian Militia. , The impact is really too bad.

   Although the city of Sydney has fallen for most of it, the white defenders are still struggling to support, using the ruins of the city to deal with the enemy.

  The former prosperous metropolis was reduced to a ghost town, and most of the troops of the A Corps had been withdrawn from Sydney after the **** battle. After rest, the second round of low-intensity clearing operations began.

  Over 100 years of accumulation, the white farms around Sydney still have considerable savings. There is enough oil and water, which is the main source of the A Corps officers and soldiers to obtain seizures.

  Having experienced such a cruel war, none of the white families living here can stay out of the matter. They are either the families of war criminals or sympathizers who launched the war of aggression in the North. They must be completely liquidated.

  The Ocean Kingdom army does not have the habit of killing prisoners, and the military discipline does not allow burning houses, but it can be sentenced through a temporary court, depending on the circumstances, sentenced to hard labor ranging from 5 to 20 years, white women and children are concentrated in the education camp, and all their property is confiscated...

  The cruel war released the wildness in people's hearts. Hundreds of thousands of veterans who have experienced **** battles need to be completely released. This has brought serious disasters to the white settlements of New South Wales, and this is just the beginning.

  Continuing to participate in the siege of Sydney is the third phase of the new recruiting division, using this broken city ruins, to make up the **** and cruel war experience for these militias who arrived at the battlefield late to carry out the final transformation.

  The complete fall of Sydney is inevitable, and the last bit of value is being squeezed out.

  In the night

Li Fushou walked into a high-rise building on Flinders Street and stood on the 4th floor window and looked towards the east. Across the wide Yarra River, he could see the darkness in the east bank of the city, with flashes from time to time. The bright cannon flames dispelled the darkness, slid out a fiery trail in the air and exploded, followed by dense gunfire.

  After nightfall

  The cruel and **** competition still did not stop. Li Fushou sighed slightly. He had seen such a scene too much in Sydney, and now it is just another place to repeat it.

The Civil War was extremely cruel. It was not only a war of aggression and anti-aggression, but also a war of conquest and anti-conquest, and it was a life-and-death struggle between different cultures, religions, and races, which made it particularly tragic. .

  Some people in the kingdom questioned why the advancement of the war was so difficult. Such remarks that standing up and talking are not worth refuting.

Nowadays

  War is about money and people. Aside from talking about money, most of the factors that determine the outcome of war are people.

  American Civil War period

  North has almost all of North America’s industrial production capacity, possesses population and weapons advantages, and has made sufficient preparations for war. The two sides still fight corpses across the wild, tragic and abnormal, which is the most obvious example.

as shown by data;

  At the beginning of the war, the strength of the North greatly exceeded that of the South. The 23 states in the North had 22.34 million people, and the 7 states in the South had only 9.1 million people. The two were far apart.

  There is a developed industrial system in the north, and social development has initially entered industrialization, with an annual output value of 1.5 billion US dollars, 1.3 million workers, a complete industrial system, 22,000 miles of railway network and abundant food.

  The industry in the South is weak, with an annual output value of US$15.5 million, which is only one percent of that in the North. The vast majority of them are primary food processing industries with only more than 100,000 workers and only 9,000 miles of railways, which is far from the North.

under these circumstances,

The American Civil War broke out on April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865, the Southern Army Commander-in-Chief Robert E. Lee conditionally surrendered. It then lasted for 4 years. More than 700,000 people were killed and 400,000 disabled. Hundreds of cities and towns were destroyed by the war, and the economic losses were huge.

  Faith the present and the past

Li Fushou’s deep gaze revealed a firm look. He knew that the Melbourne city offensive and defensive battle would be particularly cruel. Although the B Corps had the first-hand advantage, the stubborn white armed forces would not easily admit defeat. Just look at the situation in Sydney. This battle is still to be fought.

  It can be seen from the geographical location

A wide Yarra River runs through the entire Greater Melbourne area and divides the city into two. The city buildings are densely arranged along the banks of the Yarra River, forming a city pattern with mountains and rivers mirroring each other. It is beautiful and quiet, with a strong British atmosphere. style.

  This is like a semicircular pie, and the Yarra River breaks it open, one small and one big.

  The small piece is West Melbourne on the west bank of the Yarra River and the southwestern Melbourne area, which accounts for about one-third and covers an area of ​​more than 2,700 square kilometers.

The largest area is South Melbourne and East Melbourne, covering an area of ​​about 6,100 square kilometers. It is the bustling center of the entire Greater Melbourne. It has a population of more than 470,000 people, and no less than 120,000 white armed men. They are white. The stronghold of ultra-conservatives.

  Now that the B Corps has entered the heart of the heart, there is no trickery. It requires soldiers to fight from house to street. The bayonet sees red in a close hand-to-hand battle, and casualties will rise sharply.

  It is completely predictable that tomorrow will usher in an extremely fierce counterattack, and the battle will be even more cruel.

The Army Staff Headquarters has also made a comprehensive plan for this. The new division composed of the third phase of recruitment will continue to go south. Currently, the mobile corps of more than 60,000 people has reached more than 140 kilometers north of Melbourne and will march southwest. Arrived at the designated location within two days.

The task of the Mobile Corps is to cut the connection between Ballarat and Melbourne, the important southern town of Ballarat. Ballarat is 113 kilometers southwest of Melbourne. This is the most important gold mining area in Victoria. Due to the war, the population has skyrocketed. To more than 270,000 people, about 1/3 of them are miners in gold mines, and now they are armed almost in another Sydney.

  Within one month

  Victoria will gather a large army and gather more than 400,000 strong troops. This traditional white colonial area will be sorted and cleared repeatedly, creating good conditions for the influx of a large number of Chinese, and laying a stable and peaceful social foundation.

   "How is it, are you prepared to deal with more difficult situations?" Li Fushou asked calmly, staring at the dark sky ahead.

Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng, standing behind him, bowed respectfully and replied; "In response to your Majesty, the minister is ready for a **** battle in Melbourne. The 140,000 soldiers and soldiers of the B Corps are united and will write their loyalty with blood and life. Sacrifice dedication to create a beautiful home for the Chinese."

His words obviously did not include more than 50,000 white captive soldiers, but only counted the number of Chinese soldiers. Nowadays, Greater China thinking prevails in the Ocean Kingdom army, and Chinese soldiers often claim to be of the heavenly blood, revealing rich superiority. feel.

  Well, it’s the power of propaganda.

  Continuous colonization and continuous victories have accumulated the strong confidence of the Ocean Kingdom army. This sharp sword drank too much enemy blood and became more radiant and unstoppable.

"Well, let go and fight. You can just smash these bottles and cans and build them. There is nothing to be a pity. The city of Melbourne must bear a distinctive Chinese imprint, which will be passed on forever as the glory of military conquest. ."

  Li Fushou’s words echoed in his ears, making Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng and a group of senior generals of the B Corps full of excitement. They were so excited that they would write their glory in this city and show their martial arts.

  For a soldier, what could be more glorious than this?

  "Your Majesty, I am waiting to serve my life." Everyone replied in unison.

"It's not that serious. The supplementary soldiers recruited by the General Staff have been going south continuously. Even if you let go and fight, Conrad has made a kind of gold Melbourne medal. Every general who wins the gold medal will be The general’s surname named a street, and it will be passed on as an eternal martial artist. Let’s do it well. I am optimistic about you."

   "I would like to thank your Majesty Longen, I will fight hard, advance without retreat."

   "Well, I am waiting for the good news of your victory."

  The original digression about the American Civil War was not going to be written. Later, I saw that there was a certain point in the comment. It seems that the North has been preparing for so long, why hasn't it been crushed?

  In fact, from the Battle of Consby Plateau, the Battle of Sydney, and Wollongong, it can be seen that it is already a one-sided advantage, and what advantage should it show?

I find that many readers’ comments are a big pit. Some people make you completely disregarding historical obscenities, and they call it pleasure to read. Some people don’t want to read the war passages and make you jump over it. Then this book will definitely Become broken and incomplete, and no longer have a smooth sense of reading.

  The relationship between readers and readers is like fish and water. Sometimes aquatic plants will obscure the fish’s sight. The fish must be flexibly avoided. This is also a very happy selection process. Looking forward to your wonderful comments, by the way, ask for a monthly pass and ask for recommendations.
