On or near the beaches around Tasmania, there are dejected-looking Citi Army soldiers everywhere. These Citigroup soldiers were either looking for their comrades, or they were looking for their comrades' bodies.
There are still some Citigroup soldiers looking for food there. The fires in the past few days have almost exhausted their logistical supplies. To be precise, they have been almost burned out.
Only a small part was snatched out. Patton looked at the map in his newly built headquarters, with worry that he could not hide on his face.
"Has General Mike called back? Where are our supplies? Will they be able to arrive tonight? We are about to run out of water!"
They have snatched some supplies, but this part of the supplies is very miscellaneous, with a little bit of everything.
"No! They won't arrive until noon tomorrow!"
Stilwell was also very helpless. The telegram was sent on the 7th. At that time, Patton felt that something was not right, so after withdrawing, he immediately sent a message to Mike and requested supplies and troop support.
"damn it!"
Patton cursed fiercely and said, "We won't arrive until noon tomorrow. If we arrive here at noon tomorrow, we will have to go at least tomorrow afternoon if we want to distribute those weapons to the troops."
Tomorrow afternoon? The Chinese army had already started attacking. Barton knew very well in his heart that China was so ruthless just to land on Tasmania.
Now that the flames have been extinguished, the Chinese army will definitely land on the island tomorrow morning. What will they do to resist then?
Now the only unit that is still an organic unit and whose troop organization has not been disrupted is the troops on the beachhead. ,
There were two infantry regiments on the beachhead that were not disrupted because they were near the beach and survived. These were the only two units.
But are these two groups useful? They lack logistical supplies!
Lack of weapons and ammunition, the only weapons and ammunition they had were stored somewhere before. But it¡¯s not much, maybe it will all be consumed in less than a morning.
And now that China is setting fire to the island, it is estimated that it will not land from the north.
"How many troops do we have now?"
Patton turned to look at Stilwell and asked.
"We haven't gotten the specific data yet, but now we have a rough estimate. There are still about 90,000 troops that we can contact.
It¡¯s just that their weapons, equipment and other logistical supplies are very lacking, and they may not be able to fight. There were also many soldiers who were without weapons.
There are also some skirmishers. We cannot count the number of these skirmishers for the time being, but there are a lot of them. They are all soldiers who lost their way with the original troops in the fire.
If you want these stragglers to regain their combat effectiveness, they need to be reorganized! "
Patton¡¯s fists were clenched tightly, and the troops he could contact were only about 90,000, and there were still some skirmishers.
He estimated that the number of skirmishers should not be very large, and if they were to die, they would not exceed 30,000 people.
In other words, the fire in China directly cost him more than 100,000 troops. More than 100,000 soldiers died in the fire.
As night fell, Patton was counting all his losses in his headquarters. In Bass Strait, less than 20 kilometers away from Tasmania, a fleet was slowly approaching Tasmania. Niah Island.
"Master, are we going to land at Smithton?"
Meng Yuanchu asked, standing next to Ren Ran.
"Yes! We are going to land in Smithton! According to the intelligence, there are two infantry regiments of the Citi Army in Smithton. Originally, there were many reserves behind them.
It¡¯s just that if our fire goes down, it¡¯s probably all going to be burned down. As long as we destroy these two infantry regiments of the Citi Army, the other Citi Army units on the island will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
How effective can a group of Citizen troops who lack logistical supplies and have been ravaged by fire for several days have? "
Ren Ran said with a sneer from the corner of his mouth. Although he only has one infantry division with more than 18,000 people.
"But there are a lot of Citigroup troops on the island, but they lack weapons, ammunition, and logistical supplies. No matter how powerful your troops are, they are still incapable of defeating them."
Coupled with several days of fire, it not only destroyed the supplies of the Citi Army, but also sapped their fighting spirit.
??Besides, what if there are more Citigroup troops? Is there something behind them?No more troops?
At two o'clock in the morning on May 11, 1943, Ren Ran's 1st Marine Division stopped off the coast of Smithton.
The soldiers all rode on assault boats and began to move closer to the shore. They did not turn on the engine.
As for why, the reason is very simple. The engine sound of an assault boat is not loud, but with so many troops and so many assault boats, how loud is the sound?
The soldiers quickly slid toward the shore with small oars.
At 2:20 in the morning, the first batch of landing troops successfully docked.
It was quiet on the shore. Those Citizen Army soldiers probably never expected that the Chinese army would launch a surprise attack on them at this time, in the middle of the morning and midnight.
The first batch of landing troops consisted of only two battalions of soldiers. They slowly moved towards the Citi Army beachhead.
At 2:40 in the morning, the first batch of landing troops reached the Citi Army's position, and the second batch of landing troops, a regiment of soldiers, landed.
Hu Yicheng, commander of the regiment, battalion and company of the 1st Marine Division, was originally a squad leader in the Army. Later, after being transferred to the Marine Corps, he was promoted to lieutenant company commander due to his meritorious service.
Now he, the company commander, is holding an stg44 assault rifle in his hand, lying on the ground, constantly looking at the military luminous watch on his wrist.
"Commander, please go ahead and let the whole company listen to the battalion commander's signal. When the signal flare is raised, jump into the Citi Army trenches immediately!"
Hu Yicheng's orders were passed down one by one by the soldiers.
At two fifty, three red flares soared into the air.
At this moment, the soldiers of the two battalions suddenly got up and rushed towards the Citi Army's trenches.
Hu Yicheng and the others were only about 20 meters away from the Citi Army trenches. For them, the distance of just over twenty meters was just a matter of a few seconds.
¡°Da~da~da~¡±
??The sound of gunfire rang out, this was the sound of the stg44 assault rifle.
The two battalions of Chinese soldiers quickly jumped into the trenches of the Citi Army. When the gunfire rang out, the Citi Army soldiers who were still dreaming suddenly woke up.
As soon as I woke up, I saw the Chinese soldiers killing them with weapons in their hands. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
