Chapter 712： Australian forces

Australia is a magical land. This continent is probably the only continent without disputes other than Antarctica.

However, Australia was not immune to a world war. Even if there was no war in Australia, they still sent troops to participate in operations on other continents.

After all, Australia is a British colony.

In 1931, Australia gained independence in domestic and foreign affairs and became an independent country within the Commonwealth.

In the history of later generations, in 1986, the Queen of England signed the Relations with Australia Act in Australia. The Supreme Court of Australia enjoys the power of final adjudication and terminates the power of the British Parliament and the government over the Australian states. British laws are no longer valid in Australia.

But even so, Australia's Federal Parliament is the legislative body, which is also composed of the Queen of England, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Queen of England is the head of state of Australia. The Governor is the representative of the Queen of England.

And now, the British mainland is resisting. Due to their limited military strength, other colonies have also begun to mobilize their forces.

Now, there are already two Australian infantry divisions that have advanced into North Africa, and in Tubrug, there is the Australian 9th Infantry Division.

On the slope, soldiers from a platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Infantry Division were lying quietly there.

The weather in the desert is fickle. It is very hot during the day and extremely cold at night. Therefore, these soldiers wear Australian woolen uniforms.

At the same time, they also used woolen hoods, scarves and sleeveless leather vests. Some people wear leather vests inside their coats, and more often wear them outside.

On the corners of their collars, the Australian "Sunrise" badge is sewn, made of dark metal, and there is a military rank badge on the right arm of the jacket.

They wear fabric ankle protectors on their legs and Australian tea-brown boots.

Most people hold the 0.303 inch caliber LEMKIII rifle, which is manufactured by the Lisgow factory in Australia. There is also a 17-inch bayonet on it. The Australian troops are proficient in using bayonets and are proud of it.

But now, watching the tank troops on the opposite side move over, their hearts are complicated.

Among them, one was holding an M1928A1 Thompson submachine gun. You don't need to look at the rank, just look at his weapons, you know that he is the commander of this force, Lieutenant Pedro.

With a 50-round submachine gun with a drum, Lieutenant Pedro's mind was contradictory.

The one who came across was the tank unit! On our side, they are all infantry!

How to deal with the tank? Are you going to retreat? No, of course not! This is one's own position. It would be a shame to withdraw from the battle before fighting!

Throughout World War II, the combat effectiveness of the Australian army is absolutely obvious to all. Even the brutal island soldiers are afraid of fighting against the Australian army. In New Guinea, Australia completely frightened the island team. Less than 5% of the island soldiers survived.

"They don't have many tanks. And, behind them, there are no infantry!" Next to him, machine gunner Gus-Langhurst said: "We can wait until their tanks have moved past and use our sticky bombs. Deal with them!"

As a machine gunner, Longhurst is a tall soldier. The Vickers machine gun with a tripod beside him weighs 42 kilograms, but he often lifts it up.

Now, he keenly discovered the weakness of the opponent's tank, there is no infantry cover, and at the same time, he did not notice that his side is hidden here, if so, then he can still do it!

In Langhurst's eyes, there are not many tanks on the opposite side. In fact, in a German armored battalion, there are almost hundreds of tanks! Although some tanks have not been included in the organization because they have just come up, there are still more than 50 tanks rushing over.

And here, the Australian infantry has only one platoon, with more than 30 people. Even so, they want to kill the German tanks!

This is absolutely fearless!

"Okay, then we will use sticky bullets!" Lieutenant Pedro made up his mind.

When this kind of anti-tank grenade was distributed to them, they still despised it. They didn't stick to others, stick to themselves first, and a complete suicide weapon, but now, they can only rely on this kind of thing to deal with the opponent's tank!

While talking, the German tanks had already moved up rumblingly. In the wilderness, the tanks rushed rapidly. When flying over a small slope, the tank even flew directly from the slope, and the tracks were suspended. Fall down again!

Moving on without stopping, we can see how excellent the performance of this tank is!

Australian soldiers hid behind the hillside and watched the tanks approaching quickly. Everyone felt their scalp numb, but no one was scared at www.novelhall.com.

"Buzz, buzz." The tracks of a tank, rolled over, happened to be a soldier's hiding place!

The other people all raised their hearts to their throats. When the tank drove away, there was no bright red blood on the ground, only the yellow of the old Australian coarse cloth, which turned around.

When the tank comes, it gets into the middle of the two tracks and it's all right!

This is common sense, but few people dare to do this. When the steel monster moves over, many people's hearts will begin to collapse!

One after another, finally, when the tank roared and moved past, the Australian soldiers' counterattack began like this!

Langhurst suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, chased the German tank in front of him!

Run, run, speed up! His two sturdy and powerful thighs moved quickly, his body was running fast, and the wind whispered in his ears!

While running, he prepared the sticky bombs, and he threw his sticky sticky bombs just 10 meters away from the tank in front.

This kind of anti-tank grenade has many restrictions on use, but now, Longhurst can be used lightly!

Finally, the No. 74 anti-tank grenade accurately hit the back of the tank, and then it stuck!

After throwing it out, Longhurst did not see his own results, he had to run back quickly!

His assistant, Private Selmish, was looking at the tank he had hit.

I saw this tank, after it continued to move for more than ten meters, there was a loud noise!

Hit accurately! Anti-tank grenade, explode accurately!

The German tanks are invincible across the entire European continent, and now, in the vast North Africa, the Panther 3 tank has been attacked from behind!
