The Rise Of Australasia

Not a single one spared!

When they heard this command, all the Australasia Soldiers felt no surprise, for it was issued by His Majesty Arthur, whom they revered and adored.

Even if the opponents were European People, given Arthur's command, they would show no mercy. Not to mention the opposition was just comprised of Islanders, a people already discriminated against in Australasia.

The raid involved not only the cooperation of two airborne regiments but also the collaborative efforts of the infantry and the Air Force.

Once the encirclement was successful, the Air Force swiftly joined the fray and carried out extensive Bombing on the Island Nation Army's gathering areas.

This move disrupted the rhythm of the Island Nation Army and plunged the left and right flanks of the Island Nation Type C Divisions into complete chaos.

It's not just about Type C Division, even the infantry regiments of the most Elite Type A Division, when faced with being attacked from both sides and Airplane Bombing from above, it's no surprise they became tense and panicked.

Though they weren't afraid to die, it didn't mean that they weren't terrified by such peril. Human nature is unpredictable, even for the brainwashed soldiers of the Island Nation.

Although this infantry regiment quickly mounted a counter-attack, it was clear that the target of the Australasia raid was not them, but rather their flanks.

The performance of the two 5,000-strong flanks of the Type C Division, when faced with such an attack, was far worse compared to that of the Type A Division.

While the Type A Division was organizing a counter-attack, the tens of thousands of soldiers from the Type C Division still hadn't mounted a substantial counter-offensive.

Some of the Islander Soldiers at the forefront, when faced with the attack from the Australasia Army, even chose to play dead to evade bullets.

Yes, play dead.

This was completely at odds with the image of the Island Nation Army's reputation for fearlessness unto death, as if it were an army made up of cowards.

But when considering the source of the Type C Division's manpower, it's not that surprising. These men were mere farmers in the Island Nation a year ago; they may have supported the country's initiation of war, but that did not mean they were willing to pay with their lives.

Even if they were prepared to lay down their lives under the tide of events, the innate fear of death still overwhelmed their fearlessness when they actually faced it.

No one is unafraid of death, even those soldiers in history who sacrificed themselves for their countries. But these people chose the latter between clambering for survival and sacrificing for their country, because they had a belief and were willing to confront that universal fear of death for their nation, for the people they wished to protect.

Fearing death is a natural human emotion, but in the face of right and wrong, ordinary people will always step forward, face the fear of death; these are the people commonly referred to as heroes.

A country can go without Industry and economy; these are just factors that decide the might of a nation and do not determine its future.

But a country cannot survive without heroes who stand up; that is the key to whether a country can last and continue to prosper in the future.

Clearly, in comparison to the brave and fearless soldiers of Australasia, these evidently flavorsome soldiers of the Island Nation Type C Division, were mere ordinary people.

With the impediment of both flanks, the outcome of the war was already evident.

Under the two-sided attack, each flank consisting of 5,000 men held out for less than half an hour before they rapidly collapsed.

Some Islander Soldiers tried to surrender, but what awaited them was only the cold Gun muzzles and scorching bullets of the Australasia Soldiers.

After crushing both flanks, the central Type A Division infantry regiment was fully encircled by the Australasia paratroopers.

Faced with the encirclement, the pale-faced Ishikawa Tanin, regiment commander of the infantry, ordered his men to resist to their utmost before slowly aiming the handgun he carried at his head, and bang!

With no regiment commander leading them, the unity of the infantry regiment crumbled. Despite Ishikawa Tanin having ordered his troops to resist with all their might before his suicide, how could one expect the soldiers to follow orders after he took his own life?

Even the powerful Type A Division was not unanimous in the face of such dire straits.

Although more and more Island Nation Soldiers began choosing to surrender, the Australasia Soldiers strictly adhered to Arthur's command, still opting to spare not a single one.

Of course, Arthur dared to do this relying on the fact that Europe was undergoing a superpower war at the time, and also because the Island Nation Army was now isolated and basically unable to send information out.

Even if all these Island Nation Army soldiers were slaughtered, the world would only hear that they died in war.

Whether the Islanders would believe that wasn't very important to Arthur.

Arthur believed that if the Australasia Army were in such a plight, the Island Nation Army would certainly not show mercy either.

Furthermore, Arthur felt no guilt towards this intensely hated race. For Arthur, such a massacre was child's play.

When the appropriate time comes, even crueler methods await the Island Nation. Arthur was confident that he could make the country suffer the retribution it deserved, letting these damned Islanders feel the warmth as if from an erupting volcano.

After nearly 11 hours, the aerial raid finally completed its mission.

The Australasia Army had deployed a total of 13,000 soldiers, with over 1,700 dead and 4,600 wounded, the total casualties having reached 6,300.
