Chapter 884 All-out Attack

Although the headquarters of these two C divisions possess a certain amount of anti-aircraft weapons, it is inevitably a bit impossible to shoot down Australasia's all-metal frame aircraft.

After some attempts, the island nation's military finally gave up the idea of ​​using anti-aircraft weapons to shoot down the Australasian aircraft, and instead chose to completely hide their headquarters.

But the problem is, now that the headquarters has been exposed, it becomes very difficult to hide it.

In order to deal a fatal blow to the island country's army, the Australasian Air Force adopted the most arrogant strategy, which was carpet bombing.

The good news is that most of these fighters and bombers take off from aircraft carriers, and naturally they can also obtain ammunition supplies from aircraft carriers.

Although the ammunition of the aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier is also limited, it is still no problem to support this bombing.

After spending more than an hour replenishing ammunition, the Australasian Air Force launched a carpet bombing of the surrounding areas where the two C division headquarters were located.

I don’t care whether the bomb will hit the civilians of the island nation. For the Australasian Air Force, there is only one task at this time, which is to destroy the command headquarters of the island nation’s army and leave their C-type divisions with already low combat effectiveness leaderless. All we can do is sit back and wait for death.

The bombing was still very successful. The carpet bombing successfully destroyed the headquarters of the two divisions, and killed the division commander of the division near the port, the Three Dogs on the Island, head-on.

Although the Australasian Air Force did not know who was killed by the bombing, the destruction of the command structures of the two divisions was still very important.

Different from the previous attack. The previous landing battle was obviously carried out in a controlled manner. The purpose of Australasia was more to train troops rather than to quickly conquer the Ryukyu Islands.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, a new round of landings by Philippine and Kalimantan troops was launched.

But the problem is that because their own air force has been eliminated by Australasia in advance, they have no means of countermeasures when facing an attack by the Australasian Air Force.

The purpose of these navies is naturally to use powerful ship-based artillery to let the islanders feel the baptism of artillery fire.

It is precisely because of the power of the military police of the island country that these soldiers are still very afraid of the military police. The gendarmerie was behind them, making these soldiers no longer human inside and out. They would die if they moved forward or backward.

This also means that they only need to hold on for more than three hours before they can wait for the support of another batch of more than 6,000 soldiers.

While launching a charge against the enemy's defensive positions, they also had to be careful about the threats posed by aircraft in the sky. This was simply too much for this C division to deal with.

If you don't rush forward, the military police within the island country's military will not be a joke. Although the military police are small in number, they do have the power to supervise operations on the battlefield.

But after dispatching paratroopers this time, Australasia obviously wants to attack the Ryukyu Islands with all its strength.

Australasia does not care about the chaos in the island nation's military.

For the soldiers of this division, it was a double torture. If they rush forward, the enemy's firepower will break them into pieces, and the bloody appearance of their comrades makes them frightened.

The Air Force launched another air attack on this division, successfully disrupting the order of the entire division and even making some soldiers afraid to charge the enemy. The entire division had a tendency to collapse.

The islanders are indeed helpless. The Australasian air force was a great, even fatal, threat to them.

At this time, nearly three hours have passed since the attack, and the transport aircraft formation should have almost arrived in the northern Philippines.

Although there are infantry brigades above the infantry regiments, each brigade has two infantry regiments with a total of tens of thousands of troops. It is still very difficult to quickly issue orders for a combat plan involving tens of thousands of people.

In the darkness, countless soldiers launched a fierce and cruel war. The loser will fall into the abyss forever, and the winner will also face another gamble of fate.

More importantly, Australasia never considered relying solely on its own paratroopers. After the paratroopers gradually control the situation, a new round of landing battles will be launched, leaving the island nation's troops struggling to cope.

It was past three o'clock in the morning, more than two hours before dawn.

In addition to using the air force and army, in terms of navy, Australasia also dispatched a luxurious lineup of 6 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, and 3 battlecruisers as the main warships.

If any of the island's soldiers stagnates or even escapes, the gendarmerie has the right to execute them on the spot.

Without the timely command of the two division headquarters, the various infantry regiments of the division suddenly became chaotic.

Because it was a general offensive, the navy was not stingy. A large number of artillery fire tilted towards the station of the island country's army, like a particularly heavy rainstorm.

boom!

Bang bang bang!

The continuous loud noises were like thunder, and the explosion flames after touching the land and facilities were like lightning of judgment.

No one will underestimate the power of ship-borne artillery, even the artillery of battleships that were behind the times 20 years ago.

You know, the caliber of the ship-borne main guns of that era was also extremely exaggerated at over 300 mm.

When such artillery is used to bombard land armies, it is like a cannon hitting mosquitoes. It can only be said to be devastating.

Even the defensive positions and artillery positions built by the island army based on the terrain are as fragile as tofu when facing the bombing of such large-caliber artillery. What's more terrible is that the width of the Ryukyu Islands is not vast, and basically the entire archipelago is within the bombing range of the navy.

For the island army stationed on the Ryukyu Islands, from this moment on, it is their most terrible and painful moment.

Perhaps the two island country C-type divisions stationed around the city and the port should be thankful. Because the Australasian army has been fighting with them at close range, there is no place for them in the navy's bombing list.

Otherwise, what the shipborne artillery destroyed was not their beliefs, but their spirit that they had always adhered to on the battlefield.

When the spirit is destroyed, that is when they turn from normal people into lunatics and psychopaths.

Such examples are not unheard of. Because the battlefield is too cruel, many recruits who were originally ordinary farmers, even if they survived the battlefield by chance, will suffer from post-war syndrome and other battlefield-related diseases.

The mild ones are nervous and restless in their lives, unable to concentrate and have difficulty sleeping. The severe ones may even become crazy and be tortured by the cruel scenes of the battlefield day and night.

It is obvious that the psychological endurance of ordinary people is limited. Even trained soldiers will be shocked when they suddenly face more cruel scenes.

Of course, in areas bombed by ship-borne artillery, it is very difficult to have broken legs and arms.

Large-scale artillery of this caliber can sink battleships with full steel armor, not to mention ordinary people with only blood and flesh.

Generally, after being bombed by this kind of ship-borne artillery, there will be basically nothing left except a small amount of clothing fragments.

"Go! The general said that everyone will have fresh steaks to eat when they enter Naha today! The first infantry formation to enter Naha will be rewarded!" Commanders at all levels in the Philippines and Kalimantan shouted frantically.

For these Filipinos and Kalimantans, there are only two things that attract them the most, one is delicious food, and the other is generous rewards.

Food can fill the stomach, and rewards can be brought home to the family to improve their lives.

After all, the economy of the Philippines and Kalimantan was not very good at that time, and the living environment of the Filipinos and Kalimantan people was naturally not very good.

Joining the Australasian army will have enough meat to eat, and their families can get a better life. This is why they are willing to work for Australasian.

Of course, Australasian's control over their government at all levels is one of the reasons why they have to join the Australasian army to work.

Especially in the Philippines, which has a higher level of education, this war has been promoted as a life-and-death war between the island country and the Philippines in the Philippines.

Because Australasian has controlled the public opinion in the Philippines, the reports of the Philippine media have described the importance of this war to the Philippines, and emphasized how cruel the island country is.

In other words, for these Filipinos, they are not fighting for Australasian, but fighting to defend their own country.

What's more, there are practical benefits for them to participate in this war. Once they have made contributions, their children will have the opportunity to study in Australasian and become the best in the Philippines.

After several years of development, Australasia has already had a very tight control over the Philippines.

Every year, a small number of Filipinos who successfully graduate from Australasia and return to the Philippines are definitely superior people with superior status and position.

It is precisely this huge improvement in status and position that makes many Filipinos look forward to studying in Australasia, and even their lifelong dream.

But unfortunately, it is very difficult to study in Australasia.

In addition to the small number of places that Australasia opens to senior Philippine officials every year, ordinary Filipinos who want to study in Australasia either have to bear a lot of expenses or have talents far superior to others, that is, geniuses.

This also makes the opportunity to study in Australasia very popular in the Philippines, even those Hispanics who are already Filipinos generally hope to study in Australasia.

Because in Australasia, they can obtain the top academic environment and teaching resources in Oceania and Asia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are world-class and top.

Except for a very small number of universities in Europe that have been established for a longer time and are more well-known, the universities in Australasia can be said to be no less than any school.

For Arthur, if he could gain the loyalty of the Philippine army by paying a certain amount of study abroad quota, it would be perfect.

The study abroad quota is not expensive for Arthur, after all, those wealthy Philippine businessmen also provide a lot of funds to the universities in Australasia every year.

And the students trained by these study abroad quotas, those with better abilities, will also be sought by Australasia to stay in the country.

In other words, such behavior will not only not become a financial burden for Australasia, but will also attract more people to Australasia, which is basically a sure win.
