Chapter 374 New fighter jets appear one after another! Landing in Darwin Port was not as difficult as imagined. In other words, the Australian army's combat effectiveness was not strong. Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese army, it did not take long before it began to retreat. As the Australian beachhead was lost, Japanese follow-up troops began to join the battlefield. At the same time, the Japanese army also dispatched mechanized troops. Um! That’s right! It's a mechanized force. The steel and oil shipped back from Tianzhu have finally been turned into weapons and equipment. But this time, it was using Tianzhu's steel and oil to create a mechanized army.

At the same time, it was also to test the combat effectiveness of this mechanized force. The template for this mechanized force is naturally the German mechanized force. It's just that it's not as powerful as the German mechanized troops. You can see it from the equipment, such as iron-clad armored vehicles, Bean tanks, motorcycles, and military trucks. Compared with the German mechanical troops, there is simply a world of difference and there is no way to compare. Even so, the performance at the moment is not bad. For example, the Second Guards Division was reorganized into a mechanized division. The Second Guards Division was expanded from the First Guards Division. It was originally used to guard the palace, but in order to capture Australia as soon as possible, it was also transferred to attack Darwin Port this time. After replacing with new equipment, the Second Guards Division became even more arrogant. For example, Lieutenant General Naganomura Momoyo, who had just been promoted to the 2nd Guards Division, was sneering at Lieutenant General Nisio Hiszo, the commander of the 301st Division. "Nishio-kun, your division has already stole the show in the battle of Darwin Port. Not only did it occupy Darwin Port, but it also eliminated a large number of Australian troops, opening a channel for the imperial army to attack Australia." "The credit is already great, why not let my division do the rest of the credit? Can you just wait at Darwin Port with peace of mind?" "Perhaps the reward from the base camp has come by this time?" Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo said and looked at the other party expectantly. Who knew that Lieutenant General Nishio Hiszog would just shake his head. Are you kidding me? Who cares about taking so much credit? After finally being assigned from the reserve to the front line, if I don't work hard to show my ability, let the base camp see my value. I'm afraid I really have to stay in the reserve until retirement. How could he agree to such a thing?

So he refused directly. "No, Kuno-kun, you know the importance of this battle to our Imperial Japanese Army. In order to win this battle." "The base camp asked the Southern Army to mobilize all its main forces." "What's more, I just came to the front line from the reserves. I must have enough merit to make the base camp look at me with admiration." "Nishio-kun, you already have a rich resume. I guess you don't need to worry about it anymore. Why don't you stay behind?" Just as Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo said this, an intelligence officer's motorcycle approached. "Reporting to the division commander, Commander Shinozuka sent a telegram asking us to stop temporarily and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops." "What?" Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo looked in disbelief. He reached out to grab the telegram and scanned it roughly. His face suddenly looked a little ugly. "Baga, what are Commander Shinozuka thinking? Now is the best time to defeat the Australian army in one fell swoop, why should we stop?" Although Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo is the division commander, he and Shinozuka Yoshio are both lieutenant generals and have the same rank. It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka is the personally appointed commander of the base camp, and he must accept the other party's command. It's just that Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo wants to make a big difference. As long as he kills a few divisions of Australian troops, he will be successful. After all, he is now a lieutenant general and the commander of the Class A Division. As long as we achieve great success in this battle, we can go further. Maybe at that time his military rank will enter the ranks of generals. This is why he is eager to move forward. However, now Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly ordered him to stop, which naturally made Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo a little angry. Everyone knows that the Australian army's combat effectiveness is average, especially since most of the Australian troops staying on the mainland are new recruits. The combat effectiveness is very poor. This is simply a gift of credit, don't give it away in vain. So he suspected that Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio must have done it on purpose. This guy must have smelled something, so he wanted to stop him. However, to be angry, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka was the commander of the entire battle after all, so Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo had no choice. "Order the troops to stop advancing and prepare for air defense." Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo shook his head, looking helpless. Looking at the furious Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo, Lieutenant General Nishio Hisou was secretly amused, but he still pretended: "Don't be angry, Kunomura-kun. Maybe Shinozuka has some troubles? You must understand." Hearing this, Lieutenant General Kunomura Momoyo ignored him. He knew what the other party meant, and it was nothing more than jealousy. no way! They must be proactive in bringing this kind of credit to their doorstep.

… At the headquarters of Australian Army Commander General Thomas Bremen in Sydney. General Thomas Bremen stayed up all night, smoking cigarettes one after another and staring at the military map. According to the latest news, Darwin Port has been occupied by the Japanese army. At the same time, the Japanese army continued to expand in size. From the information obtained by the current reconnaissance aircraft, the Japanese army seems to be serious. To completely occupy Australia. Not only that, even their combined fleets are deploying their main forces to assist the army in landing. This all points to bad news. That is, the Japanese army clearly wants to completely take over Australia. Admiral Thomas Bremen pounded the table hard at the thought. "No, they are all new recruits. Although there are hundreds of thousands of them, they are all new recruits. Five of them are no match for them alone. We must have enough elite troops." "Order: The Air Force immediately dispatches all reconnaissance planes to patrol 24 hours a day and tell me the movements of the Japanese army." "Also monitoring their navy, these need to be monitored." "yes." Just then the intelligence staff member walked in and said with an ugly expression. "General Thomas Bremen, the Air Force sent intelligence that the Japanese forward troops are marching eastward along the coastline." The intelligence officer hurriedly came to report. Hearing this, General Thomas Bremen opened his bloodshot eyes, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Order: Send troops immediately to find opportunities to harass the Japanese army. If possible, determine the location of the Japanese army and let our air force attack them. They gave me some greeting gifts.” "yes." "However, your Excellency, Commander, the news from the Air Force is that the Japanese fighter planes are very powerful." "Asshole, tell them I won't listen to this." General Thomas Bremen roared angrily. "yes." … On the other side, Admiral Patton's face in Port Said was not so good-looking. At this time, he was taking a deep drag on his cigarette, trying to get rid of the irritability in his heart. This is already the fifteenth cigarette, because he has been particularly restless recently. The main reason is that the last German attack brought a great psychological shadow to him. He was just one step away from jumping into the sea with Montgomery. If the navy had not arrived at the critical moment, Port Said would have been occupied by the Germans. At that time, the fate awaiting him would be to become a prisoner.

Or jump into the sea. As for becoming a prisoner, he definitely doesn't want to. But he is not willing to jump into the sea. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to block it. At the same time, there is a lot of good news, that is, the White House has increased its assistance. For example, right now, General Patton was asking the adjutant next to him. "How are the air force losses being replenished? How many planes have arrived at us now." "The replenishment is almost complete. Moreover, the White House said that we have replenished five infantry divisions. In addition, a number of lost battleships have also been replenished, almost returning to the pre-war level. In addition, the newly reinforced fleet has also passed through the Strait of Gibraltar. It's heading towards us," the adjutant said in a deep voice. Upon hearing this, Admiral Patton's face suddenly showed a hint of joy. After several air battles, the Allied fighter planes were basically lost. The German fighter planes faced their fighter planes, which can be said to be a massacre. When the battle damage report came in, people in the White House thought it was unbelievable that the casualties were so high. They scolded General Patton directly. Fortunately, it was just a scolding. Other generals would have been dismissed long ago and even sent to prison. A military court conducts the trial. After all, the losses this time were not small. They lost more than 800 fighter planes, nearly 100,000 troops, and most importantly, Cairo and Alexandria, which was equivalent to losing the entire canal. The price was too high. Now there is only one Port Said left. If this is lost again, it will really be over. Fortunately, as assistance continued to arrive, Port Said's power finally expanded a lot. Now he just waits for the navy to arrive on the battlefield with its infantry, and then he can follow Montgomery. No! In other words, the rest of the battle should be left to him. Because the next main force was the US military, Montgomery had not lost enough troops. He no longer has command authority. Since the . military shifted its focus to Europe, it began to think of ways to obtain these command rights. And now the commander of Port Said has begun to become Admiral Patton. There was no way, who made Montgomery completely defeated. "How many warships are coming from the Navy this time?" Admiral Patton asked. Since the canal was lost, Admiral Patton has become increasingly aware of the importance of the Strait of Gibraltar. This must not be lost, otherwise the entire Europa will be lost. Although he was scolded by the president, he still asked for a batch of warships, mainly aircraft carriers. So he is now looking forward to seeing how many warships the navy can support. "There are hundreds of large and small battleships, including fifteen **** aircraft carriers, three main aircraft carriers, five battleships, and the rest are destroyers and cruisers. Not only that, there are hundreds of transport ships," the adjutant said.

Hearing this, General Patton nodded, ecstatic. There are quite a few battleships in this batch. Far beyond his imagination. There is no way, the US military's foundation is too strong. The main reason is that after the discovery of the oil fields in Italy, the US military knew that it could no longer keep a low profile. Otherwise, Germany, Italy and France will use the oil fields to regain their strength. So wouldn't all their efforts be in vain? So they must increase aid to Europe. This is just the first batch, there will be more to come. The . military, whose steel production capacity is about to reach its peak, really has no shortage of steel-made warships. And the speed at which they produce warships is really too fast. Just like dumplings. "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a batch of new fighters this time, which must be able to deal with the German fighters." The adjutant suddenly said excitedly. During this period, they were attacked by the new German fighter planes, and the air force was so beaten that they did not dare to take off. If the opponent's numbers were not insufficient, the air force would have been completely destroyed. Even so, their air force also suffered heavy losses. Now that he heard that their new aircraft was about to arrive, Admiral Patton was somewhat happy and took a puff of cigarette. The German TA152 fighter jet is so powerful that it completely overwhelms their fighter jets. Even the British fighter planes were no match for them. Fortunately, after the US military absorbed the technology of the British army, the performance of its current fighter jets has also been improved. Sure enough, war is the best catalyst. In just a few years, fighter aircraft have developed very rapidly. There was no way, the German air force put too much pressure on them. Fortunately, the British army has long begun to study jet fighters. The original British jet aircraft was very unstable due to the engine. Fortunately, the US military engineers are trying to make rectifications at this time. It will not be long before the US military should have its own jet fighter. However, the production capacity will not be too high, but the newly developed P51 fighter jet is definitely an epoch-making product. They believed that it would definitely bring fear to the German army. Especially after obtaining the British army's engine technology, they have made major breakthroughs in some key technical fields, and the engine performance has also been greatly improved. The P51 fighter jet was born so quickly because of the British army's engine technology.

Otherwise, you will have to wait. "How many new fighter jets are there?" Admiral Patton asked after thinking for a while. "There are about a hundred of them. The production capacity is not high yet. When the production increases, there will be more." The adjutant explained. "Very good, you have to keep an eye on it at all times. We need a lot of new fighter jets here. The pressure from the Germans is really too great." "clear." The US military is producing a large number of advanced fighter jets, which is also good news for Cun Yunsheng. Originally, I had to worry about the origin of the P51 fighter jet, but now I don’t have to worry about it at all. Because Stilwell brought him good news, the next aid will include a batch of new fighter jets. Although the quantity was not large, it was definitely enough, which made Cun Yunsheng very happy. At the same time, the changes in the Japanese army also made Cun Yunsheng smell something unusual. "A large number of areas have become empty? The Japanese troops have withdrawn?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the latest intelligence and frowned slightly. "Could it be a scam?" Meng Fangliao asked. "Probably not. The next focus of the Japanese army should be on Australia. It seems that the map played a big role." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully. (End of chapter)
