Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The second line of defense in northeastern Australia has completely collapsed. The Japanese army is approaching. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez are calm enough, they should make the following decision. The second line of defense is already on the way.  More than 100,000 Allied troops continued to retreat as quickly as possible, and then used several major cities in southeastern Australia as strongholds to engage in urban street battles with the Japanese.

    Using street fighting, they tried their best to slow down the Japanese army's continued attack and gather the fleeing soldiers. In this way, at least some Allied soldiers could have a chance to escape Australia. However, the two men did nothing. Before sending a telegram to Washington,  They ordered more than 200,000 Allied troops to stay put, and the most precious retreat time was wasted in this way!

    Even if the Allied troops on the way were ordered to build fortifications on the spot and switch from retreat to defense, eager to attack the advancing Japanese troops, artillery and other heavy equipment were left behind, and more than 200,000 Allied soldiers shifted to on-site defense.  , may not be able to give the Japanese a head-on blow in a certain direction. Unfortunately, the Americans and British did nothing but waited stupidly!

    The Allied Forces Headquarters in Washington, that is, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Building, was in complete chaos. When the emergency telegram jointly signed by Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez was sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the officer on duty was in the calf.  He started to tremble, and with trembling hands, he called the home of General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and reported the shocking bad news with a tearful voice.

    General Jefferfield was stunned and almost suffered from a heart attack. Why, overnight, the Australian battlefield had undergone earth-shaking reversals. The Japanese had grasped the time to launch the attack too accurately.  It was when the first batch of Allied troops began to retreat, but it was not yet time to consider the reasons.

    Youdao is "a fan of the authorities!" General Jefferfield is on the outside.  Shocked to discover, the two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces.  A fatal mistake was made. More than 200,000 Allied soldiers on the way still stayed where they were!

    General Jefferfield went crazy and called the Joint Chiefs of Staff Operations Bureau, asking the Operations Bureau, in the name of the Allied Forces Headquarters, to order Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez to command the existing Allied forces.  Evacuate south immediately.  Then, based on the denser cities in southeastern Australia, we will defend and gain buffer time before making plans!

    After putting down the phone, Admiral Jefferfield immediately drove to the White House to meet with President Roosevelt. It was impossible not to report such a big matter to the President after the wartime act was passed.  President Roosevelt assumed command of the newly formed Supreme War Command of the United States.

    In the speeding car, he almost cursed through gritted teeth.  More than five hours passed between the two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces, who were as stupid as donkeys, from the time they learned that the Japanese army had launched a full-scale offensive to the time they sent a telegram to the Joint Chiefs of Staff to report the shocking changes on the Australian battlefield.  During this period of time, the two of them did nothing!

    He actually asked more than 200,000 Allied soldiers to stay put. Is there any more stupid order than this?  If these two people were in front of General Jefferfield right now, he would definitely draw his gun and kill them.  I cannot forgive two senior commanders who control the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australian Allied Forces soldiers for making such a low-level mistake.  But he never thought about it. If he were in Australia now, could he do better than the two of them?

    General Jefferfield tried his best to briefly explain the bad news from the Australian battlefield in a calm tone. Suddenly, President Roosevelt's eyes immediately lost their luster and he closed his eyes in pain. After a while, he asked weakly  Said: "Jeffrey, is it irreversible?"

    There was no need for his loyal assistant to speak. Roosevelt had already got the answer from Jeff Field's face. He was silent, with a deep look of worry on his sallow face.

    "Mr. President, what I am very puzzled about is why the time when the Australian Japanese troops launched their attack was so accurate. Just when our first batch of troops began to retreat, was the intelligence leaked in advance and made known to the Japanese?" Jefferfield  The admiral mentioned one of the most critical issues.

    "Let the intelligence department investigate! Also, you are responsible for all military affairs on the Australian battlefield. You don't have to report everything to me!" Roosevelt shook his head in pain and said, "I don't have too much energy to intervene.  What worries me most about this kind of thing is whether the Japanese will start the Germans¡¯ ambition to go north to attack Mexico and then attack the United States after their victory in Australia!¡±

    Slowly rocking the wheelchair, Roosevelt left the office, leaving Admiral Jefferfield alone, with cold sweat breaking out on his body. He was brought into the most terrifying situation by what the president just said, that is, war.  It is highly likely that it will burn across the continental United States, rather than just being limited to the East Coast.  America is turning into a battlefield!

    When he came backWhen his son arrived, Roosevelt, who had already left, suddenly turned back, looked at him, and said: "Jeffrey, if you want the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield to retain some strength, you might as well talk to that Chinese  He has a way of dealing with people!"

    Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez, who were both internally devastated by the wait, finally received the order from the Allied Headquarters, "A word to wake up the dreamer!" The two of them looked at the telegram and almost hit the wall with regret.  If they dared to neglect, they immediately issued an order to the more than 200,000 Allied troops to continue their retreat in accordance with the requirements of the order.

    However, time was not on the side of the Allies. At this time, the fastest advancing Japanese army was only more than two hours away from the retreating Allies. Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez took great pains to save  The troops who came down will soon become the meat of the Japanese army. As for relying on several cities in southeastern Australia to carry out street fighting, let's get rid of the Japanese troops who are rushing towards them first!

    The smoke on the battlefield has not yet cleared. The craters everywhere and the fragmented corpses of Allied soldiers all prove that a fierce battle has just occurred here. General Ito came with a group of staff from the headquarters, surrounded by guards.  Arrived on the battlefield.

    At this moment, General Ito is absolutely high-spirited and satisfied. Just ahead, his soldiers are rushing towards southeastern Australia like a tide. "Yamaguchi-kun, immediately report to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp, the Empire's Southwest Pacific Dispatch Force,  Last night, we launched a full-scale attack on the Allied defense line in northeastern Australia. By early this morning, we had broken through all the Allied positions. Now we are continuing to attack southeastern Australia!¡±

    "Preliminary statistics show that the number of Allied soldiers surrounded and annihilated is about 400,000, and some are still in the final battle of annihilation. Our Imperial Japanese Army will completely occupy Australia, and it will be just around the corner. The Empire's Southwest Pacific dispatched troops will have  I am confident that the war in Australia will be completely ended within a month!¡±

    "Gentlemen, do you think one month is enough?" General Ito asked these staff officers with a smile.

    No one on the staff said anything. They knew that this was just the Commander-in-Chief asking and answering his own questions. If that short-sighted person said a few irrelevant words, it would be counterproductive!

    Chief of Staff Yamaguchi was very happy to see the Commander-in-Chief and suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, now the Imperial Army has broken through the Allied positions across the board, and the attack in depth has been very smooth. The victory of the Australian War is no longer in doubt!"

    "However, because the imperial army is advancing too fast, it creates a relatively unfavorable situation. We only have less than 200,000 troops left to divide and surround more than 500,000 allied soldiers. Isn't it inappropriate?  It might be a bit troublesome. Why not order the advancing troops to slow down their advance and call back part of the troops to deal with the divided and surrounded Allied forces? "

    "Yamaguchi-kun, do you think the current Allied forces still have the strength to fight again?" General Ito asked his chief of staff with a smile. However, Major General Yamaguchi did not need to answer, he said himself, "No, they are now divided and surrounded.  The more than 500,000 Allied soldiers were nothing more than a defeated army without any fighting spirit. They were defeated like a mountain. Yamaguchi-kun, you, the chief of staff, must be mentally prepared. We will capture a large number of prisoners of war. The number of prisoners will be astonishing!  "

    General Ito was very satisfied with his words, looked into the distance, and then said: "Also, the more than 200,000 Allied soldiers who escaped early must be annihilated in the wild before they escape into the cities in southeastern Australia.  If they are allowed to escape into the city, the next battle will be difficult. After all, what the empire needs is an Australia that is not seriously damaged, not an Australia that is full of ruins and needs to be rebuilt! "

    "Order the divisions that advance the fastest not to obsess over how many Allied troops they annihilate, but to seize these cities as quickly as possible and leave the task of solving the Allied troops to the troops behind them.  , I will report the first troops to occupy the city to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp, and the troops will receive the honor!"

    General Ito's battle vision is indeed very accurate. His order just solved the countermeasures of General Jeff Field, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, it depends on the legs and feet of the more than 200,000 Allied soldiers who retreated early.  Is it fast enough?

    In Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, Lieutenant General Robert, the personal representative of General Jeff Field, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and Director of the Operations Bureau, had just felt at ease for a few days when he suddenly received an emergency telegram from Washington. After reading the telegram, he  His head was covered at that time.

    The Chinese troop transport fleet is still sailing in the East Indian Ocean. The Australian Allied Forces can no longer support it and are completely defeated. How could such a thing happen? Robert cannot believe it, but the fact is the fact. So, he  Isn¡¯t everything done in Indochina in vain?

    What makes Robert very embarrassed is that General Jefferfield gave him a difficult task.?Mission, no matter what, we must persuade Tang Qiuli to take action to save the Australian Allied Forces from danger!
