.2 No matter how many times the U.S. troops gradually arrived at Port Piri one after another, everyone understood that it would be a fantasy to eat the other side with the strength of a smaller division in the Port Piri area. As of 48 hours, the U.S. military had quickly reinforced troops close to two armored divisions in Port Piri area, and the reinforcements were still continuously reinforcing this area through railways. At the same time, Port Piri was in the southeastern southeast of Port Augusta. On the east side of Port Augusta, there were also US troops. It seemed that the U.S. military was planning to engage in a real battle with the Chinese team in Port Augusta.

After discovering the intention of the US military, the 16th Division of the 6th Army, the Second Army behind the Independent Regiment, followed the Port Augusta reinforcements. The Independent Regiment was a unit from the Sixth Army. It was also considered an old brother unit. Everyone was able to fight side by side and cooperated easily. However, the troops of only two divisions had to face at least five divisions of the US-Australia coalition. Although these two units were aces, the hero could not hold back his fists. For this reason, the subsequent troops who had just arrived in Alice Springs also quickly reinforced Port Augusta. Xiong Puliang

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle on the southern front, a division was even drawn from the troops that were originally attacking the Western Front and reinforced Port Augusta nearby. After discovering the situation of the Chinese increasing troops, the Australian army also rushed to pull the troops that had just been formed for less than two months to the battlefield one by one. As a result, both sides continued to increase troops here when they were unable to figure out the situation. A battle between the two sides had not started, but more and more reinforcements were increasing, and both sides were desperately transporting troops and ammunition to the battlefield east of Port Augusta.

For this reason, although the two sides have not actually started a war, the logistics support agencies and troops of both sides have actually been in a disguised battle.

In this reinforcement and logistics competition, from the perspective of the rationality and distance, the Australian army has the advantage of time, place and three of them, and reinforcements from New South Wales and the East Coast are more advantageous than the Chinese. The distance is there. Under the instigation of government propaganda agencies, the Australians burst into strong support and cohesion. They donated money and materials to provide the army with a large number of free vehicles. The infantry of a regiment of the US military has been assaulted by trains.

After saturation, they had to wait for the next reinforcement train, but what they and the US-Australia coalition did not expect was that the Australians were transported from hundreds of cars from the East Coast to the front line of the battlefield by the Australians. Although the car carrying had to bear much more bumps and time than trains, for American soldiers who were born to do not like or want to walk, the pro-American enthusiasm that the Australians burst out made them highly motivated.

The Chinese team is much weaker. Because of their identity, in addition to receiving limited help from the native Australian residents, they can only rely on their own hands and various mechanical equipment produced by China.

At this time, the railway lines that the Independent Regiment tried to protect as much as possible were highlighted. Although in some places, such as Alice Springs, some railway lines were demolished by the Australian troops and blew up some railway lines, these railway lines were quickly restored with the strong restoration capabilities of the Chinese engineers. Trailed by the heads of several new diesel locomotives transported from China, a large amount of supplies ran along the railway lines through the train. Some express trains only took a little water and fueled during the whole process and then rushed all the way. Logistics personnel took turns to withstand the fatigue and hard work and transported all kinds of personnel and equipment to Port Augusta desperately.

With the efforts of the logistics forces, the three thousand kilometers of railway line from Darwin Port to Augusta kept shuttled back and forth between the China National Team’s reinforcements, a large number of reinforcements, weapons and equipment, food, ammunition and oil, and vehicle spare parts. Various materials were transported to the south frantically. Moreover, the logistics forces also created a miracle, that is, there was no miracle of accidents on the railway line during the logistics support transportation of this battle.

The continuous reinforcements of both sides were like two angry children building castles on their own sand piles. You just built an inch higher than me, and I immediately increased three inches. I didn't admit defeat when I saw it, and I didn't admit defeat when I saw it. The two sides were constantly adding bricks and tiles to the castles on their own sand piles until one side could not bear it and collapsed.

As such a gathering became larger and larger, the commanders and generals of both sides found that doing so was actually gambling. After several small-scale tentative exchanges of fire between the two sides discovered that the other side was not such a hard bone to deal with. A quick annihilation war is impossible. Now both sides are gathering troops. Instead of fighting a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, it is better to just drag it and waste it, and see who can't afford it first.

This approach is to bet that the other party's logistics forces could not hold on and collapsed on their own. Now both sides have gathered tens of thousands of troops, and new reinforcements are constantly moving towards this side. The more the gathering power, the more difficult it is to fight. It is better to sit down and wait and see. The consideration of the Americans and Australians is that the tens of thousands of troops of China are rushing thousands of miles away, and logistics supplies require long-distance transportation. For the Chinese, his logistics power has an upper limit. After exceeding this upper limit, the Chinese cannot continue to increase troops here. To put it simply, if 50,000 people are the upper limit of China's logistics support capacity, then if there are more than 60,000 Chinese teams gathered here, then ensuring that the extra 10,000 people will be eaten and drunk will become a big problem. No matter how large the railway transportation capacity is, it cannot be squeezed infinitely.

For this reason, after roughly judging this situation, the Australian and American coalition forces were happy to see the end of the Chinese team. If such a scene really happened, there were only two solutions. Either they would hit and consume their own troops to the death and reduce the logistical pressure. However, after learning from the experience of the failure of the Eastern Front, the Australian and American coalition forces were strictly guarded and defended. If you want to break through such a defense line, you will have to spend a lot of effort, and the casualties ratio must be higher than that of China. Another aspect is either that morale gradually declined in the absence of clothes and food, and finally it was completely annihilated under the advancement of the Australian and American coalition forces. No matter which one it is, the Australian and American coalition forces will take advantage of it... After all, the logistics distance advantage is there." Behind the battlefield is New South Wales, the densest and most prosperous island of Australia! (To be continued)
