Chapter 714 Australian Troops

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

However, in a world war, Australia is not immune. Even if there is no war in Australia, they still send 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 of Nations.

In later history, in 1986, the Queen of England signed the Relations with Australia Act in Australia. The Supreme Court of Australia has the final say, terminating the power of the British Parliament and the government over the Australian states, and English law is no longer valid in Australia.

But even so, Australia's federal parliament is the legislature and consists of the Queen, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Queen of England is Australia's head of state. The Governor-General is the representative of the Queen of England.

And now, the British mainland is resisting, and due to their limited strength, troops have also begun to mobilize in other colonies.

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

On the soil slope, a soldier from the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Infantry Division of Lu's was lying there quietly.

The weather in the desert is changeable. 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 wool hoods, scarves and sleeveless leather vests. Some people wear leather vests inside their coats, and more wear them outside.

On the corners of their collars, the Australian "Sunrise" emblem is sewn in dark metal, and the rank insignia is on the right arm of the jacket.

They wear fabric ankle pads on their legs and boots in the Australian tea brown style.

Most of them were holding .303-inch SMLE MK III rifles, made at the Lithgow factory in Australia. It also carries a 17-inch bayonet, which the Australian troops are proficient and proud of.

And now, watching the opposing tank troops move in, 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 weapon and you know he's the commander of this unit, Lieutenant Pedro.

Holding a submachine gun with a 50-round drum cartridge, Lieutenant Pedro's heart was contradictory.

On the opposite side are the tank troops! And here are all infantry!

How to deal with the tanks coming? Are you going to retreat? No, of course not! This is your own position. If you withdraw from the battle before the battle, it is simply a shame for your own side!

Throughout World War II, the combat effectiveness of the Australian army was absolutely obvious to all. Even brutal island soldiers are afraid to fight the Australian army. In New Guinea, Australia completely overwhelmed the island nation's army, and less than 5 percent of the island nation's soldiers survived.

"They don't have many tanks. And, behind them, there are no infantry!" Beside him, machine gunner Gus Longhurst 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 around him weighs a full 42 kilograms, but he often lifts it with one hand.

Now, he has keenly discovered the disadvantage of the opponent's tanks, there is no infantry cover, and at the same time, he has not noticed that his own side is hiding here, since this is the case, then his side can still do it!

In the eyes of Longhurst, there are not many tanks on the opposite side. In fact, there are almost hundreds of tanks in an armored battalion in Germany! Now, although some tanks have not been included in the establishment because they have just come up, there are still more than 50 tanks rushing over.

And here, the Australian infantry, there is only one platoon, only 30 people, even so, they want to kill the German tanks!

This is definitely brave and fearless!

"Okay, then we'll use sticky bombs!" Lieutenant Pedro made up his mind.

Back then, when these anti-tank grenades were distributed to them, they still despised them. They didn't stick to others, they stuck to themselves first. They were a complete suicide weapon, but now, they can only rely on this kind of thing to deal with the opponent's tanks!

As he spoke, the German tank had already started rumbled. In the wilderness, the tank was rushing fast. When flying over a small dirt slope, the tank even flew directly from the dirt slope. The tracks were all suspended, and then Fall down again!

There is no pause and continue to move forward. It can be seen how excellent the performance of this tank is!

The Australian soldiers hid behind the hillside and watched the tanks approaching fast. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, but no one was afraid.

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

The others raised their hearts to their throats. When the tank moved away, there was no bright red blood on the ground, only the yellow of the old Australian coarse cloth, turning around.

When the tank comes over, get between the two tracks and you'll be fine!

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

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

Longhurst suddenly jumped out from his hiding place and chased after the German tank in front!

Run, run, speed up! His two strong and powerful thighs moved quickly, his body ran fast, and the wind whistled in his ears!

As he ran, he prepared sticky bombs, and when he was only 10 meters away from the tank in front, he threw his sticky bombs.

This anti-tank grenade has many restrictions on its use, but now, Longhurst can use it with ease!

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

After throwing it out, Longhurst didn't see his result, he had to run back quickly!

His assistant, Private Thelmish, was watching the tank he had hit.

I saw this tank, after continuing to drive for more than ten meters, there was a loud noise!

Hit it right! Anti-tank grenade, accurate explosion!

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