Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Da da da!" A 127mm large-caliber heavy machine gun was firing crazily. A red flame shone at the muzzle, and a long bullet chain was all fired up in less than half a minute.  The heavy machine gun made a sound like tearing oilcloth when it fired, which made people feel a little numb in their scalp.  The maximum rate of fire of the Type 07 heavy machine gun is 800 rounds per minute. The large-caliber 127mm bullet can easily destroy everything. If the human body is hit, it can be directly cut into two pieces.

    "Ah! Ah!" Screams kept ringing out among the British and Indian troops. Many soldiers were killed or hit by bullets, and then fell to the ground, letting out dying wails.  Under the order of Lieutenant General Christopher, commander of the 25th Group Army of the British and Indian Army, the British and Indian troops successively launched attacks on the positions of the 211th Infantry Division of the Chinese Army. They had left a thick  A layer of corpses.  Blood flowed from the bodies of the dead Indian Asans, seeping into the soil, dyeing the ground reddish brown.

    "Boom!" A heavy machine gun that was firing at high speed suddenly exploded.  The red barrel exploded, injuring the two heavy machine gunners behind.  This also caused the firepower in this section to suddenly stagnate.

    "Hurry up and change the barrel! Damn it, those Indian Assans are coming!" The injured heavy machine gunner shouted loudly regardless of his injuries.

    The attack by the British and Indian troops was very fierce. Under the deterrence of the supervising team, many Indian Asans bravely attacked the Chinese army's positions without fear of death.  The Chinese army relied on its powerful firepower to inflict great damage to the British and Indian troops.  But at the same time, the loss of its own weapons is also very large.  Regardless of whether the machine gun or artillery exploded due to excessive shooting, it not only hurt our own soldiers, but also gradually reduced the firepower on the defense line.  And this gave those British and Indian troops an opportunity.  Several times, the British and Indian troops rushed to the Chinese army's defense line, but were blown back by grenades thrown from the trenches.

    "Division Commander, the Indian Asan's offensive was too fierce, and the frontline positions suffered heavy losses. Several sections of the defense line were almost broken by those Indian Asan!" A colonel leader reported to Major General Huang Wenzhong.  On the five-kilometer-long defense line, only one infantry regiment was deployed. The three infantry regiments under the 211th Division took turns to resist the attack of the British and Indian troops on the defense line.  But even so, in an afternoon of fighting, the 211th Division suffered a lot of losses, especially as the British and Indian troops almost broke through the defense line several times. The 211th Division suffered heavy losses in order to drive the British and Indian troops back.  Of course, compared to their results, the 211th Division's losses were completely disproportionate.

    "Let the Koreans go up and prepare to launch a counterattack! After repelling the Indian Asan attack, we are on the rear! The 212th Division behind should also be ready!" Major General Huang Wenzhong ordered.  While the 211th Division was fighting a bitter battle with the British and Indian troops, several subsequent infantry divisions were also deploying positions respectively, preparing to block the British and Indian troops.  Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang, Chief of Staff, issued an order to let the British and Indian troops shed all their blood before arriving at Jowai.  At that time, the North Route Army of the Second Group of the Chinese Army launched a counterattack and completely defeated the British and Indian Army.

    "Charge! Kill all those Chinese and drive them out of India!" The soldiers of the British and Indian troops braved a hail of bullets and bravely charged towards the Chinese army's positions.  One by one, the Indian Asans fell to the ground, but more Indian Asans took the opportunity to rush up.

    "North Korean mercenaries, attack!" When the British and Indian troops rushed less than a hundred meters away from the 211th Infantry Division's position, Lieutenant General Huang Wenzhong issued an order to counterattack.

    "Kill!" Tens of thousands of North Korean mercenaries rushed towards the British and Indian troops with bayonet-mounted rifles.  Although North Koreans are not tall, they are still relatively tall compared to those Indian Asans who are chronically malnourished.  In addition, the North Korean mercenaries have undergone systematic training and are far from comparable to Indian Asan in terms of combat power.  Therefore, when the casualty North Korean mercenaries fought out, they immediately defeated those Indian Asans.  In a fierce hand-to-hand battle, a North Korean mercenary can even easily defeat two or more Indian Asans.

    After the North Korean mercenaries repelled the attack of the British and Indian troops, the 211th Infantry Division had retreated calmly.  After several hours of fighting, the officers and soldiers of the 211th Division were very tired.  One kilometer away is the position of the 212th Division.  The 212th Division was also ready, waiting for the British and Indian troops to hit them, causing their heads to break and bleed!

    The British and Indian troops killed by the North Korean mercenaries were retreating steadily, and the more than 20,000 attacking British and Indian troops were pushed back to their positions. Then the North Korean mercenaries retreated in a bold manner, and the British and Indian troops did not even dare to pursue them.  Such a result directly made Lieutenant General Christopher, commander of the 25th Group Army of the British and Indian Army, very angry.  At the same time, he also realized that this war seemed to be different from what he had expected!  !

    After the retreat of the 211th Division of the Chinese Army, the British and Indian troops successfully captured the original 211th DivisionLine of defense.  However, Lieutenant General Christopher was not happy at all.  In order to capture this line of defense, the British and Indian troops suffered heavy casualties.  The 251st Army of the British and Indian Army was almost crippled, and the 252nd Army that attacked behind suffered considerable losses.  Although there is no exact data yet, Lieutenant General Christopher can probably guess that in order to capture this line of defense, the British and Indian troops lost at least 40,000 people.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" As soon as the British and Indian soldiers entered the position of the 211th Division of the Chinese Army, the artillery shells fell from the sky and fell into the ranks of the British and Indian troops. The bombs knocked the British and Indian soldiers off their feet.

    "Bastard! Attack, keep attacking!" Lieutenant General Christopher had no choice but to order the troops to continue attacking.  There was no way, those Indian Asans had to carry their rifles and continue to attack the Chinese army's dense fire defense line, leaving bodies everywhere.

    Night fell soon. Lieutenant General Christopher originally wanted to plan a night attack, in which case the firepower of the Chinese army would be limited.  However, the Chinese army was very vigilant and would often launch flares to prevent the British and Indian troops from carrying out sneak attacks.  And they would often organize North Korean mercenaries to set off from their positions and conduct searches so that sneak attacks by the British and Indian troops could be discovered in time.  Although the consequence of this is that those North Korean mercenaries who go out to search will have no choice but to die once they discover the British and Indian troops, this effectively prevents the British and Indian troops from attempting a sneak attack.

    The British and Indian troops launched several attacks on the defense line of the 212th Division of the Chinese Army, but were repelled all times.  In the end, Lieutenant General Christopher had to give up his plan to rely on night attacks to break through the Chinese army's defense line, and honestly fight a war of attrition with the Chinese army.

    On November 18, the British and Indian troops finally attacked the city of Jowai after suffering huge casualties.  However, the Chinese army has built a complete set of fortifications in Jowai.  Although most of these fortifications were hastily constructed, they were still impregnable to the British and Indian troops who lacked heavy firepower.  The British and Indian troops had to pay a heavy price for every step forward.

    Subsequently, the 25th Group Army and the 28th Group Army of the British and Indian Army launched a fierce attack.  The British and Indian troops, who lacked heavy weapons, were simply unable to break through the Chinese army's defense line. Instead, they were beaten to death in front of the Chinese army's defense line.  Fighters from the 1st Wing of the Chinese Air Force also came to assist in the battle. FB'Haidongqing's aircraft's nose-mounted aircraft machine gun fired a round, cutting a large number of British and Indian soldiers into two pieces.  As for the HB'Hongyan, a fighter jet with a large bomb load, every time it dropped a bomb, the British and Indian troops paid a heavy price.  The British and Indian troops were numerous and gathered together, which undoubtedly became the key target of the Chinese Air Force.  Every bomb dropped can take away countless lives.  The British and Indian forces, which lack air defense weapons, are simply unable to pose a threat to fighters in the sky.  Even the huge HB'Hongyan and fighter jets dare to descend to a height of 500 meters above the ground to drop bombs, let alone FB

    "Haitongqing, a fighter jet and FH5 Falcon, a dive bomber.

    On November 19, Lieutenant General Christopher, who was jealous of the defeat, forced the British and Indian troops to continue the offensive despite the intensive air and ground firepower of the Chinese army.  However, apart from leaving corpses on the ground, their attack had almost no results. At most, it only caused the Chinese army to consume a lot of ammunition.  Even though it is difficult to supply supplies in the Jaintia Hills, it is still impossible to defeat the Chinese army in this way!

    At the same time, the South Route Army of the Second Group of the Chinese Army also arrived in Shillong after two days of traveling and began to attack Shillong. The more than 100,000 remnants of the British-Indian 26th Group Army and the 27th Group Army were left behind in Shillong.  The defeated general resisted.  However, their resistance seemed so fragile in front of the Chinese army.  With the firepower support of powerful artillery and air force, the Chinese army successfully broke through the British and Indian army's defense line outside Shillong.  By the afternoon of November 19, the Chinese army entered Shillong City.

    After the outer defense line was broken through by the Chinese army, the British and Indian troops in the city had an even weaker will to resist.  Originally, the remaining troops of the 26th Group Army and the 27th Group Army of the British and Indian Army were the troops defeated by the Chinese army. It was simply impossible to expect them to withstand the attack of the Chinese army without even having an advantage in strength.

    By evening, after several hours of fierce fighting, the remaining defeated troops of the 26th Group Army and the 27th Group Army of the British and Indian Army were almost completely lost.  Lieutenant General David and Lieutenant General Renate hurriedly sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Christopher asking for help, then abandoned Shillong and fled with the remaining troops!
