Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kolkata is the largest and most important city in eastern India. As the center of British colonial rule for a hundred years, it is also the most prosperous metropolis in India.  Even after the Governor-General of India, Baron Hardinge, moved the Governor's Palace from Calcutta to Delhi, this did not affect the prosperity here.

    There are millions of people in the urban area of ??Kolkata, and millions of Indians live and work around Kolkata.  After the Chinese Army landed at Port Diamond on November 25, it caused panic among the Indians living here.  Under the propaganda of the British colonists, the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the Chinese have become synonymous with the devil. These Indians did not want to be affected by the war, so they left Calcutta dragging their families with them on foot or using animals to pull carts.  , fleeing to the countryside.  However, it is not possible for millions of urban residents to escape in a short time, not to mention that there are still many Indians who are unwilling to leave their homes.  They still have some illusions about the Chinese army and believe that the Chinese army will not be as evil as the British propaganda, so they plan to stay.  However, when the Chinese army began to attack Calcutta, these Indians paid a heavy price for it!

    On November 26, the first wave of troops from the Third Group of the Chinese Army that landed in Calcutta severely damaged the 24th Army of the British and Indian Army north of Diamond Port and annihilated all four corps of the 24th Army.

    After that, the Chinese Army continued to recommend northward, with the 11th Armored Brigade and Cavalry Brigade taking the lead.  At the same time, the second wave of Chinese Army Group 3 troops landing in Kolkata also landed in Kolkata on the evening of November 26 directly under the escort of the naval fire support ship squadron.  Nine battleships of the Fire Support Squadron anchored on the Hooghly River launched a heavy bombardment of Calcutta.

    Although the 24th Group Army of the British and Indian Army has assembled six armies with a total of 300,000 garrison troops in Calcutta.  However, they never expected that the Chinese army would come so quickly, so that these Indian Asan's artillery shells from the Chinese army fell on their heads before they had any preparation!

    The explosion of each shell from the battleship's large-caliber naval gun was like the earth falling apart, and a building often only needed one shell to be destroyed.  As India's economic, political and cultural center for a long time, Kolkata's prosperity is second to none in the entire India.  However, under the brutal bombardment of the Chinese Navy's fire support ship squadron, the entire city was reduced to ruins bit by bit.  During the shelling, the British-Indian 24th Group Army, which was stationed in Calcutta and prepared for a street battle with the Chinese army, suffered heavy losses. Many Indian Asans were directly blown to pieces in the shelling. More Indian civilians had no time to escape.  Yeziah died in the shelling.  Although war has nothing to do with civilians, no country can completely avoid harming innocent people in battle.  What's more, the Chinese military also intends to reduce India's total population during the war, so it will not distinguish between so-called military targets and residential areas.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Chinese naval fire support ship squadron anchored on the Hooghly River opened fire fiercely on Kolkata. Houses were destroyed by shelling, burst into flames, and finally turned into ruins.  Street after street was destroyed, and a large number of Indians were crying and wailing in the flames of war!  However, no one sympathizes with them. War is just like this!  If you fall behind, you will be beaten. India, with its fertile land, has nurtured a large population of Indians, but these Indians do not have the ability to defend the country.  The so-called common man is not guilty but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The current situation in India is exactly like this.  China values ??the fertile lands in northern India, and this war is China's best opportunity to seize these lands.  And those Indians, as an obstacle to China's future immigration to India, will of course be eliminated!

    The resistance courage of the 24th Group Army of the British and Indian Army also disappeared in the fierce bombardment of the Chinese Navy's fire support ship squadron. Faced with such a terrifying bombardment, even those Indians wanted to defend their homeland, but at this time they could not  I don't want to continue fighting.  Many Indian Asans threw away their weapons and fled out of the city in embarrassment.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the shelling of the Chinese naval fire support ship squadron ended. The urban area of ??Kolkata was destroyed a lot. The shantytowns built by some Indians even burst into flames. It is unknown how many Indians were in the fire.  Loss of life.  At this time, General Zhou Shun, commander of the Third Group of the Chinese Army, issued an order to attack.  Eight infantry divisions of the Chinese Army's 11th Group Army and ten divisions of Japanese mercenaries invaded the city from the west and south of Calcutta.

    Most of the defenders of the 24th British-Indian Army in Calcutta fled, and only a small number resisted.  However, for the Chinese army, their resistance is equivalent to using a mantis as a chariot.  After determining that the British and Indian troops had no weapons that could threaten the troops, the 11th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army drove directly into Calcutta. A large number of Chinese soldiers or Japanese mercenaries hid behind tanks and armored vehicles., clearing out the British and Indian soldiers street by street.  During this process, many Indian civilians were treated as militants and eliminated.  In addition, during this process, large-scale robbery, rape and killing incidents also broke out against civilians.

    Japanese mercenaries are very fierce in fighting, but their military discipline is very bad.  In addition, the establishment of Japanese mercenaries did not include special comfort personnel, which made these Japanese mercenary soldiers anxious and had to think of their own solutions.  During the eradication of indigenous people in Southeast Asia, indigenous women in Southeast Asia were humiliated on a large scale by Japanese mercenary soldiers.  And now in India, although these Indian women are dark, the Japanese don't care about this at all.  It seems that as long as it is magnetic, they can do it!

    Of course, a small number of people from the Chinese army are also involved.  Fighting is always a very stressful job. Once you relax, you will inevitably want to vent.

    And venting on a woman is undoubtedly the best way to vent stress!

    After a night of fierce fighting, the Chinese Army¡¯s Third Group took complete control of Kolkata.  Except for more than 100,000 people in the 24th Group Army of the British and Indian Army who successfully escaped, all the rest died in this battle!  Many people who stayed in the plains of Calcutta also died in this battle.  Of course, the exact number remains a mystery.  After the Japanese mercenaries had done their evil deeds, they often disposed of the bodies together.  Coupled with the chaos of the war, even among the Indian survivors in Calcutta, it was not clear who died in the battle on the night of November 26.

    On the morning of November 27, General Zhou Shun, commander of the Third Group of the Chinese Army, entered Calcutta under the protection of guards.  A large part of the urban area of ??Calcutta was destroyed during the fighting, and there are still many fires that have not been extinguished.  But at this time, the Chinese army did not have time to deal with these, but many Indians who survived began to put out the fire.

    "Commander, the British and Indian troops in Calcutta have been wiped out by us. Except for a small number of British and Indian troops who escaped, the rest have been wiped out! It is expected that in this battle, we will wipe out at least 300,000 enemies!  "Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yang Jiangqiao said.

    "Yeah!" Admiral Zhou Shun nodded. Although he won the battle and captured the big city of Calcutta, he didn't feel happy about it.  The opponent was rubbish like Asan from India, and victory was what he should have done.

    "What is the reaction of the Second Army of the British and Indian Army? When will it arrive in Calcutta?" General Zhou Shun asked.  Compared with annihilating an ordinary group army of the British and Indian Army, he cared more about the Second Group Army of the British and Indian Army, a group army composed entirely of British people.

    "The Second Army of the British and Indian Army is still marching towards Calcutta. However, after we invaded Calcutta, they seemed to have deliberately slowed down. They are not expected to arrive in Calcutta until tomorrow morning!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao said.

    "Hmph! As long as they dare to come, let them never come back! Let all the ministries take a rest, we will have a fierce battle tomorrow! In addition, contact the third wave of troops so that they must arrive in Calcutta before tonight!" Zhou  Admiral Shun said.  Facing an army composed entirely of British troops, he had to pay attention.  Now he only has more than 200,000 people in the 11th Army plus ten divisions of Japanese mercenaries, and his strength is still somewhat weak.  If the third wave of ten infantry divisions and twenty divisions of Japanese mercenaries arrive, they will have much more strength!

    "Yes, Commander! The third wave of troops will be able to arrive before four o'clock in the afternoon! It will definitely be in time for tomorrow's battle! However, we found that there is another group of British and Indian troops rushing towards Calcutta. It is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow! It is estimated that  The 2nd British-Indian Army will wait until this group arrives before launching an attack on Calcutta!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao said.

    "There is another group army? If it is an ordinary British-Indian army group, don't worry about it! An ordinary British-Indian army group can defeat them with up to twenty divisions of Japanese mercenaries!" General Zhou Shun  Said disdainfully.  After this battle, he had a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops, and he looked down upon them even more!

    On November 27, the Chinese Army¡¯s Third Group began to leave Calcutta and move northward, taking the initiative to attack the British and Indian Army¡¯s 2nd Group Army!
