Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The battleship's main gun shells exploded on the British and Indian troops, erupting with devastating power.  Huge craters appeared out of thin air, and all the officers and soldiers of the British and Indian troops who were affected met a very tragic end.  The ten-kilometer-long defense line was repeatedly ravaged by nine battleships from the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet Fire Support Ship Squadron, and almost the entire defense line was flattened.

    Not only did the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army witness the spectacular scene of a battleship salvo for the first time, but the British and Indian troops who entered the position felt like they were in hell.  Many British and Indian officers and soldiers were directly blown to pieces. Even if they were not killed by luck, the impact of the explosion of the large-caliber naval gun was enough to kill them.

    The 26th Group Army of the British-Indian Army has deployed an entire infantry division on the first line of defense, and behind the line of defense, there are also three divisions of troops, ready to supplement the front line at any time.  However, at this moment, this area was completely enveloped by the shelling of the Chinese army and navy.  The 266th Army of the 26th British-Indian Army paid a heavy price for this.

    "Oh God! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they actually used the navy's main guns! In such a battle, they actually used the battleship's main guns. This is so unfair!" Commander of the 26th Group Army of the British-Indian Army  Lieutenant General David was very angry after learning that the Chinese navy's fleet was shelling the British and Indian defense lines.  Although their defense line was close to the coast, it was beyond his imagination that the Chinese army would directly use its fleet in the attack.  In his view, this was really unfair to the British and Indian troops.  Originally, the weapons and equipment of the British and Indian troops were far inferior to those of the Chinese army. The Chinese army now also uses naval battleships. How can the British and Indian troops resist?  Human flesh and blood cannot compete with the battleship's main gun shells!

    "General, the 266th Army has suffered heavy losses. Major General Waggett is requesting support!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General David.  More than 50,000 men of the 266th Army were concentrated on a ten-kilometer defense line. They suffered considerable losses in this bombardment.  Although they only deployed one division on the first line of defense, the remaining three divisions and troops directly under the corps were also in temporary barracks not far from the front line.  When those Indian Asans were sleeping in, the Chinese Army's artillery shells flew over their heads.  These Indian Asans ran out of their tents in panic and fled in all directions, but before they had time to escape, the even more terrifying Chinese Navy naval guns began to bombard them.  A large number of British and Indian officers and soldiers were killed in the explosions among the Chinese army and navy. The remaining British and Indian soldiers were also frightened, had no fighting spirit, and basically lost their combat effectiveness.  An army of nearly 50,000 people was almost destroyed in this shelling.

    "Asshole! Tell that guy Waggart that as long as there are still people alive in the 266th Army, we must fight to the end!" Lieutenant General David yelled angrily.  The battle had just begun, and an army had been lost like this. How could he accept it?

    "Yes, General! However, it is estimated that the frightened Indian Asan will not be able to resist the attack of the Chinese!" said the staff officer.  The soldiers of the British and Indian Army were originally mainly Indian Asans who had just put down their hoes.  Although they were bewitched by the Congress Party and the Muslim League, they joined the British-Indian Army and prepared to fight the Chinese army.  However, after suffering such a heavy blow, whether they can continue to fight may only God knows.

    "Damn it! Those yellow-skinned monkeys are so cunning!" Lieutenant General David cursed fiercely.  Originally, he thought that even if this narrow plain near the sea was destined to become a key target of attack by the Chinese army, as long as heavy troops were deployed, it should be able to withstand the Chinese army's attack.  After all, although these Indian Asans have low combat effectiveness, as long as they have sufficient numerical advantage and very good geographical conditions, in this case, they should be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese army.  But now, the battle has just started, but it seems to be very disadvantageous to the British and Indian troops!

    "General, this is not the most troublesome. You know, our second and third lines of defense are both within the range of the Chinese's main artillery! Even Chittagong, including the military headquarters, and the 25th  Dhaka, where the group army is located, is within the range of the Chinese main artillery.

    If the Chinese continue to attack us in this way, how can we resist it?  "The staff officer put forward a very terrible guess. The British and Indian troops concentrated two armies in East Bengal with the intention of blocking the Chinese army's attack. But now it seems that the Chinese have figured out a way to crack it.

    "What should we dowhat should we do?" Lieutenant General David was also completely stunned.  Only then did he realize that the entire 26th Army! Even the 25th Army behind it would be in big trouble.  Chittagong is right on the seaside.  The card is also inAt the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, the river is wide and deep enough for large warships to sail.  The Chinese navy's capital ships can reach Dhaka directly from the Bay of Bengal, or even other places in East Bengal.  They were already at a serious disadvantage in terms of artillery fire. Now that the Chinese navy has joined in, the British and Indian troops will have to pay an even heavier price!

    "Contact General Christopher immediately, we are in big trouble!" Lieutenant General David said.  Lieutenant General Christopher is the commander of the 25th Army of the British-Indian Army.  This time, it seems very disadvantageous for these two armies to fight the Chinese army in Bangladesh!  The Bengal plain has many water systems. Because it is located downstream of many rivers, it has abundant fresh water resources and excellent navigation channels.  In this period of peace, it is certainly convenient for economic development, but in times of war, especially when you are in an extremely disadvantageous situation in a war, this is likely to pose a fatal threat!

    While Lieutenant General David, the commander of the 26th Group Army of the British and Indian Army, was distressed, the officers and soldiers of the KO Group Army of the Chinese Army had already begun to cheer and celebrate the victory.

    "Seeing that the British and Indian army's defense line was destroyed during the shelling, each firepower point was pierced into the sky, and those Indian Asan even fled.  For the Chinese army, this already means victory is around the corner.

    After only half an hour of bombardment, the artillery brigade of the 10th Army and the artillery battalions of other divisions stopped firing.  A big reason is that the army's artillery seems to be very weak in front of the navy's heavy artillery!  I hadn't thought of it before, but the officers and soldiers of the army thought that the KO 5mm howitzer was already very powerful, and the 155mm howitzer was among the top artillery.  But in front of the 305mm main gun of the naval battleship, all this seems so small.

    "Damn it, those guys from the Navy are really powerful! One shot can defeat at least five of ours!" an artillery observer sighed.  As an artillery observer, he often took pride in directing powerful artillery to destroy the enemy.  But now, he was very shocked. For the first time, he thought that his own artillery was too weak!

    "Nonsense! Don't look at the caliber of the navy's main guns! Those main guns are at least 305 mm, which is twice as big as our largest 155 mm howitzer. And the navy's main guns have always been more powerful than our army's  Awesome," another officer said.

    "Besides, the cost of a navy battleship is tens of millions. How much is one of our cannons worth? Although most of the warships in the navy's fire support squadron are captured by Western powers, their value is originally more than  Our cannons are much higher! They are more powerful than our cannons, so that¡¯s natural!¡±

    "Okay, let's not talk about this! Anyway, this is our navy, which belongs to the empire's force. The stronger they are, the more beneficial it is to us! This time the infantry guys should take advantage!"

    "Haha! I guess there is nothing else on the British-Indian army's position except broken corpses or pieces of meat! The infantry guys can easily break through the British-Indian army's defense line!" They did not believe that they had experienced such destruction.  After the devastating blow, the British and Indian troops were able to persevere.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. After the shelling of the Chinese Army and Navy ended, the defense line of the 266th Army of the British and Indian Army had been completely destroyed. There were stumps and broken arms everywhere on the battlefield, as well as a lot of broken meat.  .  More British and Indian officers and soldiers were blown to pieces during the shelling, leaving nothing behind.  Although the shelling lasted only half an hour, for the British and Indian troops, it was like entering hell.  After experiencing this period of shelling, even those British and Indian officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to survive had already suffered a mental breakdown and had no will to fight at all.

    After the shelling ended, the 71st Regiment of the 7th Division of the Chinese Army's 10th Group Army began the attack.  Thousands of Chinese troops jumped out of their positions and attacked the British and Indian positions.  However, there was silence on the British-Indian army's position.

    "Have all those British and Indian troops escaped?" Many Chinese soldiers had this idea.  If it were them, they would definitely not be able to survive such a fierce bombardment.

    Soon, the Chinese army broke into the British and Indian army's position.  However, the officers and soldiers who rushed into the British and Indian army positions were all stunned.  What was displayed in front of them was a complete hell of Shura, with broken limbs and broken meat everywhere, and not a single living British-Indian officer or soldier was seen.  Many timid soldiers even vomited!
