Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kolkata is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal.  It is located in the Gangetic Cape region of eastern India, on the east bank of the Hooghly River (a tributary of the Ganges).  It is the third largest city after Mumbai and Delhi!  During the colonial period, Calcutta was the capital of British India for 140 years from 1772 to 1911.  During this period, the city has been the center of modern education, science, culture and politics in India.

    After Baron Harding became the Governor-General of India and the Vice-King of India, he was forced to move the Governor-General's Palace from Calcutta to Delhi due to China's increasingly serious threat to India.

    However, even so, Kolkata is still an important city in India.  India and many factories, including arsenals, are built here.  If this place is captured, it will cause a heavy blow to India's industry.  After the northern part of the Indian Ocean has been occupied by the Chinese navy, all the consumption of weapons and ammunition that maintains tens of millions of British and Indian troops depends on the military industries in Bombay and Calcutta.  Although the scale of these arsenals is relatively small, they are indispensable to the current British and Indian troops.  Therefore, the British and Indian Army deployed one of the two armies composed of British soldiers to the Calcutta area.

    Now, forced by the Chinese Army's Second Group to advance westward along the Ganges River, the British and Indian troops feel a huge crisis.  General Kitchener wanted to move the 2nd Army to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges to stop the Chinese, which was hard for Baron Harding to accept.

    "Your Excellency, the Governor, the Chinese have already invested a large number of troops in both the east and west directions of India. It is impossible for them to invest troops in other areas. The 2nd Army will no longer be of much use in Calcutta! We are ready to move the 2nd Army to Calcutta.  The 2nd Army was dispatched to English Bazar north of Calcutta, together with several other armies, to fight against the Chinese troops on the eastern front. If we cannot resist this Chinese attack, it will be difficult for us in the Ganges River Basin  We have resisted the Chinese advance. Now that we have lost the Bengal Plain, the Punjab region will also enter the war. If we lose the Ganges River Basin again, then we may lose the entire India!" said Admiral Kitchener.  .  The Ganges River Basin, the Bengal plains and the Punjab region are the most elite regions of India.  If they are all thrown away, India will be completely finished.  Even if the British and Indian troops still have tens of millions of troops, they can't even raise food, let alone fight the Chinese army.

    "Okay! The 2nd Army can be transferred from Calcutta, but I hope that the Chinese must be resisted in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, and they cannot be allowed to continue advancing westward!" Baron Harding hesitated but finally agreed.  Admiral Kitchener's suggestion.  Although the 2nd Army is also one of the most elite units of the British-Indian Army, such a unit must be effective on the battlefield.  If the Chinese stop attacking Calcutta, then this elite force will become a complete display.  According to General Kitchener's analysis, the Chinese military will probably not invest troops in other directions.  However, both Baron Harding and General Kitchener seemed to have forgotten that the Chinese army is very good at landing operations.  Especially in the Americas, the Chinese army took large-scale landing operations to the extreme.  Therefore, although the Chinese army has invested millions of people in India, with China's huge military strength, there is no problem in investing some troops to launch a landing operation on the east coast of India!

    Faced with the aggressive east-west attack of the Chinese army, the British and Indian troops were very frightened. If they could not stop the Chinese army's offensive, then the most fertile areas in northern India might all fall under the control of the Chinese. This would be very important for India.  For the Governor's Office, this is absolutely unacceptable.  Under the orders of the Governor-General of India, Baron Harding, the British-Indian army began a new round of deployment to prepare for another major battle with the Chinese Army in the Punjab region and the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River.  This time, the British and Indian troops put all their strength into the battle and put both their two armies into the battle in a desperate plan.

    In addition to the Governor-General of India and the British-Indian Army who were horrified by the speed of the Chinese Army's advance, there were also many people who were shocked by the powerful attack power of the Chinese Army, and even lived in panic.  These people were the leaders of the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League.  Congress Party leader Tilak, Congress Party moderate leader Gandhi, Muslim League leader Ali.  Jinnah and others also looked sad.  They put all their chips on the Governor-General of India and the British-Indian Army.  If the British and Indian troops defeat the Chinese army and save India this time, then the promises made to them by the Governor-General can be fulfilled.  If the British and Indian troops lost the war, then all their efforts would be in vain.  They mobilized so many Indians to join the British-Indian army, which directly pushed them into hell!  !Original Tilak, Gandhi and Ali.  Jinnah and others believed that the British-Indian army, which had a total strength of tens of millions, could not keep up with the Chinese army even though its weapons and equipment were relatively backward.  But they are hereIn combat operations, they are more adaptable to India's climate conditions than the Chinese, and can also obtain supplies more easily than the Chinese.  Coupled with the huge military advantage, the British and Indian troops should easily win the war.  However, the British and Indian troops were beaten to a pulp in Afghanistan first, and an entire army group was wiped out. This time in the Battle of Bangladesh, the British and Indian troops of four armies were annihilated, which directly led to the loss of hundreds of British and Indian troops.  Thousands of people.  Although these self-proclaimed leaders of India's independence do not pay much attention to the life and death of ordinary Indians, such huge losses still make them feel very distressed. The most important thing is that if the British-Indian army suffered a disastrous defeat,  If so, then they will be completely finished. China now seems to be much more powerful than the United Kingdom. Under British oppression, the Indians may still drive away the British and achieve national liberation. If the Chinese drive away the British,  And if it were replaced, the Indians would probably never be able to get ahead. This is absolutely unacceptable to them, the elites of India.

    "Damn it, what's going on with those British guys? Are they letting our people die? Two million people can't defeat 700,000 Chinese, and 300,000 of them are lackeys raised by the Chinese. As a result,  On the contrary, they were completely wiped out by the Chinese. So far, the British and Indian troops have lost more than three million and close to four million people. If this continues, no matter how many troops there are, they will all be lost.  !" complained Congress leader Dirac.

    "Now the British-Indian Army only has 10 million troops left. Although we are still mobilizing more Indians to join the British-Indian Army, India has a total population of only 300 million and an armed army of about 15 million. That is already  This is the limit. If this continues, all our young generation will die!" Ali.  Jinnah looked serious.

    ¡°Can we get in touch with China? If they agree to let India become independent, we can call on the majority of British and Indian soldiers to stop resisting!  "Gandhi said. He has never advocated violence. If India's national independence can be won peacefully, that would be the best.  Before, he also believed that the tens of millions of British and Indian troops undoubtedly had a high chance of winning.  But now it seems that the British and Indian troops have huge forces, but they are completely vulnerable to the Chinese army!

    "Mr. Gandhi, don't think about it. The Chinese have already gained all the advantages. They will not agree to our request. If the Chinese replace the British and rule India, the natives of Southeast Asia will be our fate!" Tilak said.

    "Now we can only support the British and Indian troops as much as possible! Let's find ways to mobilize more young people to join the army! As long as we can defeat the Chinese, we will win!" Ali.  Jinnah also said.

    Now they have no way out, there is only one way to go.  They can only rely on their population advantage to mobilize as many young people as possible to join the British and Indian troops to resist the Chinese.  If defeated, India will never have any chance again.  If we win, it may be time for India to rise!

    Tilak, Gandhi and Ali.  Jinnah still doesn't know what the Chinese army is doing in Bangladesh. If they know that the Chinese army has started killing Indian Asan, they may no longer have any illusions.  After all, from that we can clearly see China¡¯s attitude towards India.  Although the huge number of British and Indian troops is the capital for Indians to fight against China, they do not know that their so-called capital is completely ridiculous in the eyes of China!

    Since Myanmar was annexed by China, Yangon, a city in southern Myanmar, has belonged to South-Central Province of China. The entire Myanmar has been divided into three regions: northern Myanmar, central Myanmar and southern Myanmar.

    Yangon is the largest city in southern Myanmar.  However, now this city has completely become a sea of ??Chinese soldiers and Japanese mercenaries in military uniforms.  The Chinese Army's 11th Group Army, the Army's 221st to 230th Division, and thirty divisions of Japanese mercenaries have already gathered here.  These troops formed the third group of the Chinese Army's operations against India.  After the first cluster and the second cluster had already launched an attack on India, they had been waiting for orders.  Now, the General Staff has finally issued an order for the third group to dispatch.  The target of the third cluster will be Kolkata, the most important city in eastern India!  The Third Group will land in Calcutta with the help of the Naval Fire Support Ship Squadron and Marines!
