    "Attack! Rush into Jowai and kill all the Chinese! As long as you rush in, you will win! The Chinese artillery and aircraft will be useless!" Lieutenant General Christopher, commander of the 25th Group Army of the British-Indian Army  He yelled with a ferocious face.  At this moment, the British and Indian troops had lost a lot of troops outside Jowai. The corpses were piled up in layers, and they fell into a thick layer on the ground.

    Starting from the 18th, the 25th Group Army and the 28th Group Army of the British and Indian Army took turns to launch fierce attacks on Jowai.  Lieutenant General Christopher gathered all the hundreds of howitzers from the two armies to provide artillery support to the British and Indian troops.  However, these artillery pieces were destroyed by dozens of Chinese Air Force fighter jets as soon as they opened fire. This forced the British and Indian troops to brave the Chinese army's artillery fire to launch a fierce attack in the ensuing battle.  In the face of the superior firepower of the Chinese army, the British and Indian troops attacked fiercely, but achieved nothing.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" On the Chinese army's defense line, light and heavy machine guns fired continuously, and the intensive firepower drove back the attacking British and Indian soldiers.  The bullets fired from the light and heavy machine guns formed a dense fire net. Once the Indian Assans broke into this fire net, they would only die.  Although Jowai is just a small mountain town, ten infantry divisions of the Chinese Army took turns to defend the defense line outside the city, preventing the British and Indian troops from getting closer to the small town. Instead, they left corpses one after another.

    After the battle has reached this point, both the British and Indian troops and the Chinese army are very tired.  Although the Chinese army relied on powerful firepower to kill the British and Indian troops, it would still be tiring to repeat the monotonous task of pulling the trigger. In addition, weapons and equipment would also malfunction after being used for a long time, which also caused problems for China.  The Army created a great deal of stress.  If ten infantry divisions had not been rotated, the defense line might have been broken through by the British and Indian troops.  As for those North Korean mercenaries, their equipment is relatively poor. If they fight positional warfare, it is impossible for them to withstand the attack of the British and Indian troops with their equipment.  However, these North Korean mercenaries also played a great role in the defensive operations of Jowai. From time to time, they launched counterattacks against the British and Indian troops, and the Indian Asan fled in panic.

    The British and Indian troops were also very tired. They suffered too many losses in this battle.  Since encountering the Chinese Army's 211th Division on the afternoon of the 17th, they have paid a huge price in order to break through the Chinese Army's defense line.  In order to be able to hit Jowai, the British and Indian troops had already lost two armies, and the attack on Jowai starting on the 18th cost them even greater losses.

    Every attack by the British and Indian troops was like a tide rushing towards the Chinese army's positions.  The Chinese army's position is like a rock in the sea. No matter how hard the waves hit it, the waves are shattered every time, but the rock still stands there, motionless.

    "General Christoph, we can't continue like this! The Chinese are too energetic, and the frontal battlefield in Jowai is too narrow. The Chinese can hold on to this line of defense with strong firepower. We don't have enough artillery to suppress them.  , Every time the soldiers attack, they have to risk the powerful firepower of the Chinese. With such losses, even if we have more troops, it will not be enough!" Lieutenant General Philip, commander of the 28th Group Army, said worriedly.  So far, two armies of his 28th Army have been disabled. Although the 25th Army has suffered greater losses, it seems that Lieutenant General Christopher's previous plan has no chance of success!

    "General Philip, although our losses are also great, the Chinese have reached the end of their strength. As long as we work harder, we will be able to break through their defenses!" Lieutenant General Christopher insisted.  He firmly believed that the millions of British and Indian troops had a great advantage in attacking the 200,000 Chinese troops, and it was entirely possible for them to win.  As for the 200,000 North Korean mercenaries, he ignored them.

    "General Christopher, if we can't attack Jowai within today, maybe we should figure out how to end it! The Chinese will not give them too much time. They are now marching towards Shillong.  .If General David and General Renate cannot withstand the Chinese, then there is a risk that our retreat will be cut off.

    Don¡¯t forget, we only have 100,000 defeated soldiers in Shillong, while the Chinese have at least 200,000, and 100,000 Korean mercenaries to help.  By then, we will definitely lose!  "Lieutenant General Philip reminded. He has no hope for this battle. With the strong strength of the Chinese Army, if they want to invade Jowai and destroy the Chinese army entrenched here, unless God shows up. And  is it possible?

    "General Philip, believe me, we will succeed!" Lieutenant General Christopher insisted.  Perhaps, it is because he is unwilling to face failure!  Although this battle was decided by General Kitchener, the commander of the British and Indian troops, he led the main force of the British and Indian troops from the west and took the initiative to attack the Chinese army. ThisIt was he who proposed the plan. If it failed, his career would probably come to an end.  Lieutenant General Christopher is only 48 years old this year. He is in his prime. He still has a lot of room for improvement. He does not want to end up like this.

    After appeasing Lieutenant General Philip, Lieutenant General Christopher once again issued an order to the generals of the 25th Army and the 28th Army, asking them to increase their attack on Jovai and must capture Jovai before this evening.  Iraq, wipe out all the Chinese troops and North Korean mercenaries guarding here, otherwise, they will lose this battle, and the consequences will not be what they can bear.

    At the request of the British officers, countless Indian Asans were driven to the battlefield like animals, and then fell under the intensive firepower of the Chinese army.  Their role is probably just that.  The officers of the British army did not regard these Indian Asans as human beings at all. They were just cheap weapons used to consume the ammunition of the Chinese army and used their corpses to pave a road to Jowai.  .

    The battle continued until the evening. The fierce attack of the British and Indian troops was of no use except causing huge casualties to themselves.  At the same time, due to the huge casualties, the morale of the troops was also very low. If the officers had not organized a supervising team and set up heavy machine guns behind the charging Indian Asan, the Indian Asan mercenaries would have been defeated long ago.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sun has set, and the British and Indian troops' attack this day will once again end in failure.  At this time, a brigadier general officer rushed into Lieutenant General Christopher's headquarters with a telegram.

    "Asshole, why did you barge in without knocking? Is this what a gentleman of the British Empire should do? Get out of here!" Lieutenant General Christopher held back his anger because of what happened during the day.  There is no place to vent!  The brigadier general bumped into the muzzle of his gun, and was scolded by him like crazy.

    The brigadier general was stunned for a moment, but then he retreated obediently, knocked on the door, and then walked in.

    "Okay, tell me, what's the matter?" Lieutenant General Christopher asked with satisfaction.

    "General, General David and General Renate from Shillong are calling! The Chinese army has captured Shillong. The 26th Group Army and the 27th Group Army cannot stop the Chinese army and have now retreated towards the Brahmaputra River!  "The brigadier general said.

    "What? Shillong has been captured? Damn it, why didn't you report it earlier!" Lieutenant General Christopher jumped up and cursed!  He seemed to have forgotten that he had just asked the officer to knock on the door before he could come in.

    "General, I" The brigadier general wanted to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Lieutenant General Christopher.

    "Stop talking nonsense, go find General Philip immediately! Hurry!" Lieutenant General Christopher shouted angrily.

    "Yes, General!" The brigadier general left quickly, not daring to stay any longer.

    Soon, Lieutenant General Philip arrived. He had been informed of what happened in Shillong on the way here.

    "General Christopher, we must retreat immediately. The Chinese have captured Shillong. If they are willing, they may attack us in two or three hours! We must leave here!"  Otherwise, if the Chinese attack us from both sides, we will be dead!" Lieutenant General Philip said loudly.

    "General Philip, it will be dark soon. Even if the Chinese want to attack us, they will have to wait until tomorrow at least! Besides, if we send two or three troops to intercept the Chinese, maybe we can defeat them  After intercepting it, we still have time to continue attacking Jowai!" Lieutenant General Christopher has not given up yet.

    "NO! General Christopher, we have failed. We have no chance of winning this battle! In these three days of fighting, we have already suffered losses of more than 200,000 people! And we have given  The losses caused by the Chinese are minimal. If we continue to fight, we will only die! No matter whether you continue to fight or not, the 28th Group Army will not continue! We will retreat soon!" Lieutenant General Philip said angrily  He yelled, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left without giving any explanation to Lieutenant General Christopher.

    Subsequently, the 28th Army retreated, and Lieutenant General Christopher had no choice but to order the 25th Army to retreat.  However, they didn't know that the Chinese Navy's warships had entered the Brahmaputra River and cut off their retreat!
