Now on the European battlefield, with the support of Geely from Citi and the support of the People's Liberation Army of China from China, the four countries can be said to be fighting in full swing.
Large-scale air battles break out every day. The remaining domestic air forces of the two countries were almost completely exhausted in this war.
The air forces currently operating on the three Geely islands are mainly Citi Air Force and China Air Force.
And the Voluntary Army Army dared to launch an attack directly on the Geely Army without air supremacy.
¡°And now that the Volunteer Army has broken through to the outskirts of Geely, people in Geely are also in panic. Even Fatty Qiu cannot calm people¡¯s emotions at this time.
This kind of crisis also caused Lao Luo to arrive at his office and start handling things even at such an early hour.
"Mr. Governor, the Australian Commander-in-Chief, General Patton, has sent a telegram."
Lao Luo¡¯s secretary pushed open the door and walked in, gently placing a telegram on his desk.
"Barton? Did he send it to me directly?"
Lao Luo asked directly without raising his head.
"Forwarded to you by General MacArthur!"
"Forwarded? It seems to be a military matter. Go and call General Marshall!"
"yes!"
Lao Luo put down the documents in his hands and picked up the telegram from Patton. He knew that at this time, the telegram sent from Australia at night was likely to be a very important matter.
He picked up the telegram and read it for less than five seconds before he was stunned, and then quickly read the entire telegram.
After reading it, he froze and let the telegram slide to the ground. The above clearly described in detail what happened throughout the day on the 17th.
After a while, Ma Xie came in, looked at the dazed Lao Luo, and then looked at the telegram on the ground. He couldn't help but bend down and pick it up.
Two minutes later, Marshall was stunned, and then put the telegram on Lao Luo's desk.
"George, do you think we made a mistake in defending Australia at the beginning?" [I went to watch those movies these two days and found that when Ronaldo called Marshall, he called George, so I will also call him that here! ¡¿
Looking at Lao Luo's eyes, Ma Xie was stunned and said: "Mr. Governor, why do you say that?"
"The reason why we retreated to southeastern Australia was because most of the essence of Australia was here. And at that time, China, Neon and my country occupied Australia.
We have formed a tripartite structure. China and Neon are allies in name, but in fact they are secretly wary of each other, so we can stabilize the situation in Australia.
But now Neon has long been destroyed, and all Neon¡¯s forces have been absorbed by China. Now there is only one Chinese power in the entire northern region of Australia.
On such a plain, an armored group without any restraints, do you think we can stop it? "
The reason why the Geely Citi-Australia coalition was able to defend southeastern Australia was not because of how strong they were, nor because of how weak Huaxia and Neon were.
It¡¯s because the three sides stood in opposition to each other and each was wary of the other.
Huaxia and Neon were called allies at the time, but they were actually powerful enemies. No one dared to send troops hastily and the other side would cut off their retreat.
But things are different now. There is only one Chinese power left in northern Australia.
Huaxia¡¯s sudden move immediately woke up Lao Luo!
He then remembered that it seemed that Australia¡¯s strategy had to change. If it did not change, Citi Army¡¯s hundreds of thousands of troops in Australia would be eaten by China.
"I don't know! But to suddenly give up such a large piece of land is not only unjustifiable in theory, the key is that after we gave up Australia, we lost a springboard.
¡°Leaving Tasmania and its surrounding islands will be difficult to withstand China¡¯s offensive. You know, China now also has a navy that is not weak. "
Marshall thought for a while and expressed his opinion.
"Springboard?"
Lao Luo¡¯s eyes were lost in thought, and Marshall did not disturb Lao Luo¡¯s thinking. In this matter, his words can only be used as suggestions, and the real decision-making power lies in Lao Luo's hands.
"Give up! We must give up Australia! We not only have to retreat to Tasmania, we also have to retreat to New Zealand. The hundreds of thousands of troops in Australia must not be wasted like this.
At present, our strength on the Pacific battlefield is still inferior to that of China.?Too weak. China has a complete range of military forces on the Pacific battlefield, and they have gradually improved their weapon systems in recent years.
¡°But we cannot leave a complete Australia to China. We need to remove some military supplies from Australia in this last period of time, such as the military supplies we have stored there. "
Lao Luo¡¯s idea was good, and his telegram was quickly sent to Patton. But will the Chinese army give them time?
Can they really stop the Chinese army's attack?
April 18, 1943
Liu Zhesheng, the Australian frontline commander of the Army Aviation, issued the order for the Air Force's bombing.
Since the morning, more than 2,000 B24 heavy bombers and more than 3,000 Stuka dive bombers have been bombing the defense line established by Citi Army last night.
At the same time, various types of artillery on various fronts also began to bombard the Citi Army.
At 8:30 in the morning, thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of armored vehicles rumbled into action again on hundreds of kilometers of front lines.
Crossing the Citi Army's trenches and crossing the Citi Army's positions shattered the Citi Army's good wishes to defend the line of defense.
At the same time, countless Citi boys fell on this land again.
The Citi Army was lost again. The Citi Army here was not equipped with a powerful anti-tank weapon or an armored cluster. Facing the Chinese mechanized army, they could only be passively beaten.
On the endless plains, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are advancing in these places.
Citi Army is in emergency! The Citi Army was in panic. They didn't expect the Chinese army's attack to be so violent!
Telegrams calling for reinforcements flew to Patton's headquarters, and at the same time, countless Citizen troops were defeated on the plains.
The blitzkrieg was too fast, giving Citigroup no time to react. They had no choice but to flee.
Time passed quickly in this process. Perhaps no one expected that when China's armored cluster started to move again, it would produce such power.
April 18, 1943, today is a disaster day for the Citi Army.
Yesterday, the 200,000 Chinese troops who came from behind were combined with the 600,000 on the front. A total of 800,000 Chinese troops rushed towards the Citi Army.
In one day, the Chinese armored group advanced 190 kilometers. In one day, the Citi Army's battle losses on this hundreds of kilometers long front, plus the number of prisoners, exceeded 200,000.
