Chapter 899 Change from attack to defense?
The fierce battle of Guadalam and the long lasting period are related to the long-term movements of China around.
For example, whether it was Japanese or Americans, they were all on the dikes to prevent the Chinese troops stationed in Australia from moving north or east, and took advantage of the opportunity to settle in islands such as New Caledonia and Fiji.
But after half a month of fighting, the Australian Chinese army still had no intention of attacking, and even the small-scale Australian navy was still defending near Sydney and Melbourne.
Even without signs of mobilizing the Chinese army, the Japanese and Americans did not dare to take it lightly, but instead investigated the actions of the Chinese in Australia in depth. The news came to them all stunned:
"What are they doing?"
A large number of Chinese troops put down their guns and, together with the immigrants, turned cities or towns into large construction sites.
The engineering weapons produced directly from those bases are very convenient to pave the road and build bridges, and it is no problem to use them to dig trenches and extract soil. The light tanks produced from the sub-bases are slightly modified to be engineering machinery. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants who are busy in the summer of Australia, the cities destroyed by the Japanese and evacuated Allied forces are changing day by day in the ruins.
"They are actually busy building their new home?" someone said funny.
When wars broke out, the army actually let the guns be put down and busy with resettlement of immigrants? Could it be that the Chinese were so blinded by victory after occupying Australia?
"Idiots! Where are they building new homes? They are demolishing the city and collecting materials in the name of construction. Their purpose is to build fortifications!" Someone saw the clue.
Cities and towns are not expanding, but shrinking.
If the white Australians who were quarreling to return home, they would definitely find that most of their homes no longer exist.
From the inside to the outside, it has been replaced by unfamiliar buildings and unfamiliar owners, or it is empty.
Local Chinese managers would smile and say sorry to them. Their real estate has been destroyed by the war. If you want compensation, you can go to the Japanese.
Not to mention that those indigenous people who were quickly surrendering to the Chinese people strongly opposed the white Australian invaders who returned to Australia, making them afraid to go home. The complete damage to their homes also extinguished their luck.
The large amount of materials that were dismantled and cleaned with the help of war losses were sorted out one by one, repairing the city's trauma while being used for the construction of fortifications in important defense areas.
If you want to build fortifications, in addition to considering the sub-base, in order to cover up your eyes and increase your speed, you also need to use local materials.
When the Allies evacuated Australia, they had enough preparation time and enough ** to blow up some factories.
Although the Japanese repaired some, they broke the jade after the final madness and destroyed it again, which made the local building materials such as steel and cement in Australia insufficient production capacity.
Various building materials transported by sea were blocked by the Japanese Navy. It is not realistic now, and the restrictions on air freight costs are even more unrealistic.
Considering that the nerves of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Japanese were not overly oppressing, the scale of airlifting immigrants to Australia was shrinking. Now there are only more than twenty Hercules running a day, transporting materials and immigrants of a scale of thousands of people.
Although outsiders were surprised by China's big moves before, they also estimated that the degree of damage to the transport aircraft was difficult to maintain for a long time, especially in countries like China with weak industrial foundation. I am afraid that the momentum is insufficient, let alone transporting those building materials.
Even wealthy Americans will never be used on a large scale fortifications, temporary airports and other facilities except for individual operations.
The Chinese army still has 800,000 troops in charge of Australia. There are no ones who are blindly coming to cause trouble for the time being. Without having to grab time, they will never be so spendthing.
The cement and steel plants in Australia are still slowly restoring, and there is also the function of fortress construction in sub-bases. Although Australia's defense system is still incomplete, the steel, wood and bricks and stone drawn from the so-called ruins can be quickly built to make up fortifications and shortcomings in the lack of fixed fortifications, especially on the coastline.
"It's over! They really want to stay for a long time and not leave!" After discovering the strings of fortresses built by China on the coast, anyone thought of the plan of the Chinese to live for a long time. The Japanese, British and Australians couldn't help but wail.
According to the current size of the Chinese army stationed in Australia, they are already unsure. If they have the assistance of those fortifications, wouldn’t there be any hope of taking back Australia?
Negotiations between the Australian government and the British government and China in Australia have reached a deadlock.
Even though Curtin went to China in person, he was disgusted by a representative of the Australian indigenous people.
This time, the indigenous people who were beside the big Chinese tree bit the reason why the white Australians were also invaders, and they refused to let go.
Huaxia Le continues to delay time.
And if they want to take action, the Australians who ran to the stable New Zealand did not have the ability to face the huge Chinese army, and the British who were still smoking in their hometowns could only save the debt for the future. If they freed up their hands, they would rely on their once world's number one naval force to make China suffer a lot in Australia. Some British people even thought that they would keep making trouble until the Chinese exchanged Australia for themselves.
The harassment and attack of a powerful navy is enough to tear through the gap in the fragile sea defense line, and finally let the opponent continue to bleed to death.
But now the Chinese are trying their best to make up for this shortcoming.
After the existence of the aircraft, especially China, which has performed several large-scale airborne operations, and if a continent has less demand for the ocean, as long as the seaside fortifications and fortresses are used to withstand the fleet's attacks on important parts, it is possible to fall into a stalemate.
This is obviously not what the British who are expected to take back Australia, as seen by Australians. The stronger the Chinese defense, the less hope they have in their hearts.
The Japanese felt a little bitter. If they were to build and improve the defense system like the Chinese, they would not be so easily driven away by the Chinese.
But now that things have come to this point, it’s too late to say anything. They have learned lessons and started to build a defense system in Southeast Asia to deal with the impact of Americans and Chinese.
Guadao is no exception.
The Japanese have made up their minds that even if the American warships recovered the surrounding waters, they would have to pay a heavy price on the island.
"The Chinese turned offensive into defense and tried their best to protect Australia. Even the army participated in civil engineering, it would be difficult to draw large-scale troops against us. This is also our blessing!" The same despairing move by a white Australian man, the Japanese saw that China's strategy had turned to defense and could only comfort themselves in the sourness of not being able to eat grapes.
"The Chinese have been fascinated by Australia, where cattle and sheep are everywhere. The country's fanaticism about the land is beyond imagination, and from the influence that their officials can deprive private property at will, they firmly believe that what they get is the best. This country lacks sufficient sense of offensiveness, otherwise they would not have stopped in the Ural Mountains! If it were those Soviet Russians, the Bering Strait did not stop at that time." The Americans were also very pleased with this information.
"We got a piece of information from China!" Because the relationship between the United States and China is pretty good, many pro-Americans who study in the United States for Boxer Indemnity also hold high positions in the Chinese government. The opportunity to get access to high-level intelligence is more than pro-Japanese faction like rats crossing the street. "The highest instruction from their young Meng is to not participate in the battle with the Japanese for the time being, and to consolidate Australia with all their might!"
"They are indeed busy consolidating! This information involves not only the Australian continent, but also the Siberia, the Far East and Central Asia. The Chinese already have enough land in their hands to consolidate and digest. If they only care about swallowing greedily, they may be like the Japanese, and they will eventually be almost out of their homeland!"
A mere excuse to stick to Australia is not enough to make the United States and Japan let go of their guards in the south. The Chinese army completed its last blow to the North Korean Peninsula in October before the arrival of the severe cold.
At Meng Xiang's wedding, another foreign reporter mentioned Meng Xiang's words and asked if the Korean Peninsula was Chinese territory. Of course, this time he did not face Meng Xiang directly, nor did he get Meng Xiang's direct answer.
But two days later, the Chinese army suddenly rose up and swept the southernmost part of the North Korean Peninsula, destroying half of the 150,000 Japanese entrenched there and half of them completely drove them into the sea, and the facts gave the best answer.
Although there are still Japanese troops in the original border mountainous areas such as Miaoxiang Mountain remained under the leadership of Okamura Yasuji, many Koreans, in order to make meritorious service and to pay enough letters of fame, get rid of their former traitors or pro-Japanese elements, and under the organization and equipment of the Chinese army, they used weapons and equipment similar to the Japanese to wipe out most of the Japanese army.
After 1.8 million young and strong Korean men were killed in battle, dealing with deserters and Japanese traitors, the lives of 1.8 million young Korean and Korean men were paid, and the Japanese troops entrenched there were less than 60,000, and they were left in some easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack places. If Meng Xiang hadn't needed them to consume the disobedient Koreans and Manchukuo people, they would have been cleaned up long ago.
The existence of these people no longer hinders the overall situation. The entire North Korea-South Korean Peninsula has been taken into account by China, and it stops in the North Korea-South Strait and faces the Japanese across the sea.
