    "Fire!" A battalion of the Chinese Marine Corps guarding the Guwahati Bridge opened fire fiercely at the British and Indian soldiers. In order to take the bridge back, the troops of the 25th Group Army and the 28th Group Army of the British and Indian Army came to Chris.  Under the orders of Lieutenant General Dove and Lieutenant General Philip, a fierce attack was launched on the Chinese Marine Corps.  On the narrow bridge, the British and Indian army's strength advantage could not be used at all. At most, they could only invest a battalion of several hundred troops at a time.  But such a small force is simply not enough to break through the defense line of the Chinese Marine Corps.

    The Chinese Navy¡¯s two Tianshui-class light cruisers and 4-class Dujiangyan-class destroyers cruising on the Brahmaputra River were also firing at the British and Indian troops.  On the one hand, they provided fire support for the Marine Corps guarding the bridge, and on the other hand, they suppressed the British and Indian troops to reduce the pressure on the Marine Corps.  After all, there are hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers of the 25th Army and the 28th Army of the British and Indian Army. If they all swarm towards the bridge to attack, it will be difficult for a battalion of Marines to resist them.  .

    ¡®The Tianshui-class light cruiser is equipped with two twin-mounted 155mm naval guns, located at the bow and stern.  The navy's 155mm naval gun is much more powerful than the army's 155mm heavy howitzer. Each shell can cause dozens or even hundreds of casualties in a dense crowd.  In addition, in the Tianshui class, there are 6 105mm secondary guns, 8 88mm rapid-fire guns and 8 37mm rapid-fire guns on both sides of the light cruiser.  These small-caliber cannons may not be able to cause much damage to the navy's large battleships, but for soldiers without any defense, they are enough to kill.  'Dujiangyan class destroyers are also equipped with one 105mm naval gun, two 88mm rapid-fire cannons and two 37mm rapid-fire cannons.  The number of artillery guns on these six warships alone exceeds that of an artillery battalion, and their firepower delivery capabilities far exceed that of an artillery battalion.  Under the firepower of these warships, the British and Indian troops gathered in Guwahati suffered heavy losses. The banks of the Brahmaputra River were full of dead British and Indian soldiers with broken limbs.  The blood flowed into the river, dyeing the water red.

    "General Christopher, this won't work! The Chinese have occupied the bridge on the river. It's so well-defended that we can't cross it! The Chinese pursuers are coming soon. If we can't cross the river in time, I'm afraid  I can't run away!" Lieutenant General Philip said worriedly.  Originally, they thought that if they could retreat from Guwahati to the north bank of the Brahmaputra River and then blow up the bridge, the Chinese army would not be able to pose any threat to them.  But now it seems that China has already been prepared.

    "General Philip, we have no choice now and must take back the bridge, otherwise, we will all be dead! I will let the 25th Army find a way to intercept the Chinese pursuit for a period of time. Your 28th Army will be responsible for general  Retake the bridge. We don't have much time, I can hold on for about three or four hours at most!" Lieutenant General Christopher said with a serious face.

    "Okay, let's split up!" Lieutenant General Philip said.  He also knew that the two of them could only work together now, otherwise, no one would be able to escape by then.

    "Whether it is to intercept the Chinese army's pursuit or to recapture the bridge, it is not an easy task.  However, if they do not want to be captured or even killed by the Chinese army, they can only fight hard to get the bridge back.

    Lieutenant General Christopher and Lieutenant General Philip began to work together. Lieutenant General Christopher organized the remaining troops of the British-Indian 25th Group Army to deploy a defense line south of Guwahati, preparing to intercept the pursuit of the Chinese Army's Second Group.  Lieutenant General Philip commanded the remaining troops of the 28th Group Army to strengthen the attack on the Guwahati Bridge, hoping to defeat the Chinese Marine Corps guarding the bridge and recapture the bridge!

    A large number of British and Indian soldiers poured towards the bridge like a tide, and then retreated under the gunfire of Chinese marines and naval warships on the river, leaving corpses on the ground.  Several attacks launched by the British and Indian troops were completely ineffective.

    "General, our losses are very heavy. The Chinese have great firepower. We don't have artillery to suppress them. Our soldiers can't rush up at all! As long as the Chinese have enough ammunition, we have no way to recapture the bridge!"  A major general officer complained to Lieutenant General Philip.  The British and Indian troops had few artillery to begin with, and all of these artillery were discarded when they fled. This left them with no artillery to suppress the Chinese army and suffered great losses during the attack.

    "General, the Guwahati Bridge is only more than ten meters wide, and the Chinese position on the bridge is only less than fifty meters wide. They have at least deployed more than ten heavy machine guns and more light machine guns on this defense line.  , and with the strong support of the warships on the river, no matter how many people we send up there, there will only be a dead end!" Another general also said.  The defense line of the Chinese army is veryThe narrowness of the wall allowed the Chinese Marine Corps to fully take advantage of concentrated firepower, but the British and Indian troops were unable to use it, and they suffered bloody blows in front of the Chinese Marine Corps' defense line time and time again.

    "Concentrate all the heavy machine guns and use them to suppress the Chinese defense line and the warships on the river. Then organize the troops to launch an attack and take back the bridge!" Lieutenant General Philip said.  Compared to artillery, heavy machine guns are much lighter.  Therefore, the British and Indian troops still carried some heavy machine guns when they retreated.  The total number of heavy machine guns owned by the 28th Army exceeds forty.  However, it seems impossible to use heavy machine guns to deal with naval warships on the river.  However, the British and Indian troops now have no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor!

    Under the order of Lieutenant General Philip, the Indian Asans struggled to carry out dozens of heavy machine guns, and then fired violently at the Chinese army's defense line. The defending Chinese Marines were unable to raise their heads.  .  In addition, warships on the river were also attacked. Some sailors had no time to escape and were shot dead on the spot.

    ¡°You bitch, open fire and knock out those Indian Asan heavy machine guns!¡± shouted the battalion commander of the Chinese Marine Corps.  The mortars deployed on the bridge opened fire one after another, and dense shells fell on the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops, directly blowing the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops into pieces.

    At the same time, the warships on the river also began to fight back. A large number of rapid-fire guns fired at the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops. In an instant, the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops were turned into a sea of ??flames.

    When the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops were firing wildly, a large number of Indian Asans rushed towards the bridge with rifles. Taking back the bridge was equivalent to taking back a way to survive for them.  However, before they could reach the Chinese army's position, their heavy machine gun position was eliminated. The Chinese Marine Corps and the warships on the river once again turned their guns and opened fire on the Indian Asans, beating them to death.  Shit.

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the troops of the Second Group of the Chinese Army arrived in Guwahati and began to attack the British and Indian troops.  The British-Indian 25th Group Army, which was defending south of Guwahati, was unable to withstand the fierce attack by the Chinese army and North Korean mercenaries. It lasted less than an hour before being defeated.  After the Chinese army defeated the 25th Army of the British and Indian Army, it began to pursue the defeated British and Indian Army.

    Several infantry divisions of the 10th Group Army of the Chinese Army crossed the Brahmaputra River along both sides of Guwahati, trying to keep the main force of the British and Indian troops behind to prevent them from escaping.

    "General Philip, we cannot withstand the Chinese attack, we will lose this battle!" Lieutenant General Christopher said with a frustrated look.  Now, the 28th Group Army is unable to recapture the bridge, and the Chinese Army's pursuers have also arrived. They are unable to fly!

    "General Christopher, let's surrender to the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Philip said.  With no other option, the only choice was to surrender.

    "Surrender? Will the Chinese agree to our surrender?" Lieutenant General Christopher smiled bitterly.

    The British and Indian troops sent envoys to the Second Group of the Chinese Army, wanting to surrender.  However, their surrender was summarily rejected by General Lin Chengye, commander of the Chinese Army's Second Group.  The hundreds of thousands of Indian Asan prisoners are a complete burden to the Chinese army.  There are hundreds of millions of Asans in India. The population is too large. If there is an opportunity to reduce the number of Asans in India, why should we let them go?

    The Second Group of the Chinese Army rejected the surrender request of the British and Indian troops and continued to launch the attack.  The British and Indian troops fled in despair, but the east, south and west directions of Guwahati were guarded by the Chinese army, and with the Brahmaputra River to the north, they had no way to escape.  .

    Stimulated by the desire to survive, a large number of British and Indian soldiers rushed towards the Brahmaputra River. Since the bridge was occupied by the Chinese army, they could only choose to swim across the river.  Although it is the end of November, the weather is not cold, and the river is only a few hundred meters wide, so people with good water skills can swim across it.

    A large number of Indian Asans jumped into the river like dumplings and swam desperately to the other side of the river.  The Chinese Marine Corps on the bridge controlled light and heavy machine guns to fire at the Indian Asan in the river. The warships cruising on the river also ran amok and fired at the Indian Asan with the naval guns and machine guns on the warships.  For a time, the wailing sounds of Indian Asan continued to be heard on the river, and the river was dyed red. Corpses were floating on the river, flowing downstream along the water!
