Chapter 637 Sad Ridge

The reinforcements of the B Corps were like two huge claw clamps. The main legion was pressing up from the north. The rolling steel torrent of the Red First Division rushed from the west, roaring with rumbling roars and dust in the sky, and crashed into the Victorian Corps' marching queue.

The Red 1st Division's Iron Corps came so quickly that all the artillery fires that were intercepted in haste fell behind, becoming a brilliant fireworks that set off the Iron Corps.

Most people on the battlefield were stunned by the shining appearance of the Red First Division. These hideous monsters that emerged out of thin air were so terrible. The bullets hit it and sparked a flash of sparks, which could not affect the rushing progress of these terrible monsters at all, as if they were devils from hell.

When 34 wild wolf light tanks approached the Victoria Corps, they suddenly appeared in a geese-shaped formation and spread to the two wings. Then 34 heavy machine guns interweave 34 death fire whips, and rage wildly in the terrified Victoria Corps white soldiers, causing blood mist and fear to go forward for a moment.

Wherever you pass

The soldiers who were not knocked down by heavy machine guns were mercilessly crushed under the steel tracks, and they had a bloody road.

More than 110 armored chariots followed closely behind the tank, venting firepower to the surroundings, and ruthlessly knocking down the white soldiers who were fleeing to the ground.

Wherever the firepower of heavy machine guns passed, the soldiers who had no time to escape were beaten to death and fell to the ground and died without any resistance.

The situation on the battlefield changes instantly

At this moment, not only were the white soldiers of the Victorian Corps fleeing everywhere like a nest, but the soldiers of the Williamson Corps who were surrounded were affected by great fear and had no choice but to stick to the front line. They stood up and started to flee.

Take this opportunity

Lieutenant General Yuchi Shouzhuo, the commander of the a Corps, decisively launched the order to attack. The intense horn sounded throughout the battlefield, and the shouts of soldiers who had crossed the mountains and fields gathered into torrents, chasing the enemy.

The sound of gunfire on the battlefield resounded heavily, and the white soldiers who were exposed to the wasteland were knocked to the ground in groups. The blood-red sunset in the sky contrasted with the same blood-red battlefield. Looking around, there were shouts of killing everywhere.

The Iron Corps of the Red 1st Division appeared with an unstoppable power, instantly destroying the resistance of the White soldiers.

Corps A took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, Corps B then entered the battlefield in large numbers, causing a huge storm. Wherever they passed, corpses were buried everywhere, and the enemy was killed and injured.

The steel corps of the Red 1st Division were divided into several routes and galloping across the battlefield. Wherever the enemies gathered, they would be dispersed by a team of tanks and armored chariots. Wherever the resistance was tenacious, they would become the key target of attack.

The landslides collapsed so quickly that organized resistance soon collapsed.

Before nightfall

The soldiers of the two legions of the Ocean Kingdom a and b, which participated in the battle, took advantage of the opportunity to cover up and kill more than ten kilometers. Not only did they completely recapture the Beilun defense line, but they also occupied the starting position of the Southern Federation Army and seized a large number of military supplies piled up.

Meanwhile, another good news came;

Major General Liu Shan, deputy commander of the A Corps who was defending Beilun City, led his troops, with the first assault of the Tank Battalion, destroyed the defense line of the Southern Federation, annihilated more than 6,000 enemies, captured more than 8,000, and completely seized the Victorian Corps heavy artillery division, completely eliminating a major hidden danger.

This news is absolutely disastrous to the Southern Federation Army. In the upcoming Sydney offensive and defensive battle, the Victorian Heavy Artillery's large-caliber heavy artillery was a fatal threat to the city's defense, and it was really a stone to shoot itself in the foot.

Scattered battles and rounding up deserters continued until early in the morning before they were completely over.

The next morning the sun rose to the sky, and the sun shone on the earth.

The final results of the related Consby Plateau Battle have also come out, according to statistics;

In this battle, the Southern Federation Army dispatched 135,000 Williamson's Legion and 68,000 Victorian Corps, with a total of 203,000 people on both sides. Notes; including 3 cavalry divisions, 5 independent cavalry regiments, and 4 artillery divisions.

This battle destroyed most of the enemy troops, annihilated a total of 92,200 enemy troops, captured more than 83,000 people, and a small number of them escaped at night or were missing.

A total of more than 110 heavy artillery pieces, more than 360 other artillery pieces of caliber, more than 200 heavy machine guns, more than 8,700 war horses, and countless other guns and ammunition. A small number of them escaped at night.

The total casualties of more than 34,000 people were killed or killed, especially the main force A team suffered more than 25% of the losses, and they must enter a one-week rest and rest supplement.

Since then, the Consby Plateau Battle has achieved brilliant victories.

After the victory of the General Assembly, the situation of the Civil War in Australia became clearer. The heavy army group of the Southern Federation Army, which was standing in front of the northern front, was wiped out, leaving only the white defenders huddled in important towns.

New South Wales are three cities: Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong, and Victoria are two important cities: Melbourne and Ballarat. These are cities with heavy troops, each of which is hard to be removed one by one.

The most important one is Melbourne, the capital of South Australia's Free Federation. It is not only the base camp of white conservatives, but also the core city in Victoria Asia. It has a largest city in the south with a total population of more than 400,000, and is very symbolic.

According to the tasks assigned by the two major legions A and B before the war, Corps A was responsible for besieging Sydney and sweeping the surrounding towns of New South Wales, including two important cities, Newcastle and Wollongong, clearing out large-scale white resistance forces, implementing military control over New South Wales, and maintaining local public security.

The B Corps is responsible for advancing southward to Victoria, surrounding and conquering two important cities, Melbourne and Ballarat, sweeping away the surrounding whites' resistance to remnants of forces, implementing military control over the state, maintaining local public security, cracking down on illegal acts, eliminating traitors and clearing the countryside, and completely eliminating the cancer of extremist white forces.

At the first time after the war, Corps A entered a large-scale renovation stage. After a brief rest for a day, Corps B protected the railway workers and advanced all the way south. In addition to regaining the towns along the way, they mainly advanced south along the coastal railway line.

On the first day, Lieutenant General Julian Smith had already fled back to Sydney, leaving only the devastated Snow Mountain Town and the mountain highlands covered with war marks.

Lieutenant Colonel Duan Qirui, who had only more than 4,000 people under his command, stayed here for more than a month and stubbornly held the Smith Corps, which had more than 30,000 people. In the end, the remaining officers and soldiers were less than 800, and they were almost exhausted from ammunition and food. There was no intact building in Xueshan Town.

Facing everything in front of you

Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng saluted with awesome expression and gave the highest etiquette of the soldiers.

Lieutenant Colonel Duan Qirui had a bullet in his left arm, but he just wrapped it around his neck with a bandage. His worn military uniform was covered with dust and blood, and his messy beard and straw, but his eyes were full of firmness and shiny fear.

"Report to the commander, Duan Qirui, deputy commander of the Railway Cavalry Division, was ordered to defend Xueshan Town. 4,000 soldiers vowed to defend their positions to the death. Fortunately, they fulfilled their mission and were in the positions."

"Your mission has been completed very well. Now I order your department to change defenses, all the staff will rest on the spot, and wait for new orders."

"As for orders, sir."

Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng put down his saluting hand, stepped forward and held Duan Qirui's right hand tightly, and said with emotion; "The so-called "gold will be seen when the waves wash away the sand. The Army General Staff Headquarters is very satisfied with the performance of your headquarters. It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. The name of the Sad Ridge will be famous all over the world from now on. This is the glory that a soldier dreams of."

"Sad Ridge?" Duan Qirui asked in a daze.

"Hahahaha... It seems that our Lieutenant Colonel Duan Qirui doesn't know this allusion. The nameless mountain behind you is now well-known in the Southern Union Army. Because too many soldiers have been sacrificed, it is called "Sad Ridge". If I guess correctly, Your Majesty should have heard of it." Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng reached out and patted Duan Qirui on the shoulder, his face full of relief and said, "Recover well and recover from the wounds. Our army needs more outstanding elites like you, and follow His Majesty's guidance to fight all directions in the future."

"But I have a life, I will follow you to the death."

“Okay, very good.”

Lieutenant General Mo Rufeng nodded with relief, turned around and said to Brigadier General Li Shuanzhu, "This battle between the north and the south, you two are shining! I will not delay you two reminiscing about the past. Time is limited, so we will move south tomorrow. If you have any words, just say it."

After saying that, he gently patted Duan Qirui on the shoulder and left with senior generals of the B Corps.

When everyone else walked away, Brigadier General Li Shuanzhu walked up with a smile on his face, reached out and handed over a kettle, and said softly, "Good brandy, take a sip!"

The two have been good brothers for many years and are also a couplet. Li Shuanzhu naturally knows his younger brother's ambitions and his talents, so there is no need to say a lot.

"Boss, this time it's really hungry, I almost didn't get through it." Duan Qirui unbuttoned the lid of the kettle and took a sip, feeling the hot wine, and praised loudly; "Good guy, it's so strong, it would be better if you have a mouthful."

"Don't you often say that wealth and honor are in danger?" Li Shuanzhu said as he took out the beef jerky from his pocket and reached out to hand it over.

Duan Qirui took the beef jerky and took another sip of wine. He ate with relish, and said with a look of fear. "This guy named Anthony Smith may have had a grudge against me in my previous life. At the most dangerous time, he had already attacked the top of the mountain. If I hadn't played another big explosion for him, I might not have seen the sun today."

"I know, you put those shells and explosives together and gave them a big firework."

"Hehe... I'm so anxious that I can't do anything." Duan Qirui smiled and scratched the back of his head.

When he remembered what happened that night, he still felt scared.

The two brothers sat there and talked casually, talking about some things after separation. They hadn't seen each other for a few years. They usually only had some letters and had a lot to say.

The green mountains are hazy in the distance and the earth is green.

The confusing buildings in Xueshan Town were destroyed by artillery fire, outlining a sad and beautiful picture after the war.

A large group of railway workers are under intense construction. They are about to repair the damaged railway day and night, strive to build the railway line to Canberra as soon as possible, and use trains to transport a steady stream of military equipment, including wild wolf light tanks and armored vehicles that shine in the war.

As the invincible fist force of the B Corps, the Red 1st Division is now increasingly stable. Even if the large troops walk south, they can enjoy the highest treatment of taking the train.

"Hahahaha... It seems that our Lieutenant Colonel Duan Qirui doesn't know this allusion. The nameless mountain behind you is now well-known in the Southern Union Army. Because too many soldiers have been sacrificed, it is called "Sad Ridge". If I guess correctly, Your Majesty should have heard of it."

The two have been good brothers for many years and are also a couplet. Li Shuanzhu naturally knows his younger brother's ambitions and his talents. There is no need to say a lot of things clearly, and it is all indifferent.

"Boss, this time it's really hungry, I almost didn't get through it." Duan Qirui unbuttoned the lid of the kettle and took a sip, feeling the hot wine, and praised loudly; "Good guy, it's so strong, it would be better if you have a mouthful."
