Looking more like a band of gypsies, with water cans, gas cans and some hastily roped-down tenting scrounged from some of the local sheep stations, the column of fifteen generally beat-up old vehicles did not look like the sharpened spear into the enemy’s heart that the vehicles’ occupants saw themselves as. And that was the point. They wanted to look like just another gang of locals, fool-hardily moving towards the front lines.

To even get to the area they had selected in their map recce, they would have to travel the 1,400 kilometers from Katherine, Northern Territory, to Cloncurry, Queensland, along Hwy A6. From there they would break into smaller teams and disperse into the communities from Charters Towers farther east along the A6 to the occupied sector in the north coast of Queensland, and down the A2 and A4 highways to the south-east to Longreach, Emerald and Charleville, ultimately leading to the central east coast.

With the enemy rolling over each and every effort of local militia to slow them down, the Special Ops force had departed Katherine with no clear idea of where the front lines would be by the time they reached the half-dozen communities they had selected as critical cross-road, tactical and operational level decisive points, where they knew that local militia would put up the most spirited defenses.

After discussing the intelligence the CJOC had received from Queensland via the School of the Air network, Lieutenant Colonel Weir and Captain Thorne had spent some time discussing their mission objectives with Major Blakely, the Marine Liaison between MAGTF and the Australian Army.

What they knew was that the general evacuation from the combat zone had largely stalled, at about 200 kilometers inland from the coast, when the evacuees had put some distance between themselves and the Chinese and had reached towns which appeared to have put together robust security forces, hastily organized by local militia units, police, or isolated pockets of soldiers.

From the reports they had received so far it sounded like the Chinese had captured the northerly port city of Cairns without much resistance. In much the same way as it had played out in cities and towns all along the east coast, it had started with Little Dragon agents and their local Dragonfly recruits interfering with police and military units in the critical minutes when a more coherent response could have made a difference, perhaps thwarting the sudden arrival of passenger aircraft and the rapid disgorging of highly trained Special Forces of the PLA.

In Cairns, the invaders had seized the Cairns International Airport and the docks along the east side of Trinity Inlet in a matter of minutes, their assaulters fanning out to lock down the area and set up road blocks with layered defenses on the three highways leading out of the small city.

In the first forty-eight hours after their arrival the Chinese had received numerous passenger aircraft, cargo aircraft, and even a squadron of Shenyang J-11’s, the Chinese manufactured variant of the super-maneuverable fourth-generation Russian SU-27 fighters.
