    As one of the three largest cities in India, Delhi has always been the most important city in India and a gathering place for India's rich.  Most of the large Brahmin families that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years also live in Delhi. The wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years is undoubtedly very amazing.  Therefore, the Japanese mercenary commander General Uchiyama Kojiro almost drooled when he thought of this!  Although half of the wealth robbed by Japanese mercenaries must be handed over to the Chinese army.  But even so, every Japanese can receive a large amount of bonuses, which is why those Japanese mercenary soldiers have always been keen on fighting.  As long as they win the battle, the Chinese military will basically not restrict their actions too much.  Then they can burn, kill and loot to their heart's content!

    "The chief of staff will introduce the battle plan this time to everyone!" General Yang Guoxing said after taking a look at everyone. He knew that what he just said had aroused the desire to fight among those ferocious Japanese mercenaries!  When the battle begins, these Japanese mercenary soldiers will definitely fight desperately and display extremely powerful combat effectiveness.  Although the weapons of the Japanese mercenaries are crude, they are much better than those of the British and Indian troops.  In terms of individual soldier quality, even the British and Indian troops could not keep up with the Japanese mercenaries.  As long as these Japanese mercenaries can perform exceptionally well, the pressure on the Chinese Army will be much less!

    "Everyone, our combat plan has been approved after being submitted to the General Staff Headquarters! The specific combat plan is as follows. The battle against the British and Indian troops entrenched on the Punjab Plain will begin tomorrow! The Army's 13th Division, 47th Division  , 201st Division, 202nd Division, 203rd Division, 204th Division, 25th Division, 206th Division and Japanese mercenaries will forcefully cross the Chenab River from Gujrat to the British Indian Army in Wazirabad on the east bank of the river.  The 3rd Army of the Army launches an attack! The remaining main forces of the 1st Army, including the 1st Armored Brigade and Cavalry Brigade, will follow the Chenab River southward and launch an attack from Le Sueur, forty kilometers away! According to the information we obtained  According to intelligence, there was a bridge in Lesueur that was not destroyed by the British and Indian troops, but there was about a division of British and Indian troops stationed in Lesueur.

    We need to capture this bridge, and then use the armored forces as the vanguard to advance north and attack Wazirabad!  Cooperate with the frontal troops to encircle and destroy the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army!  After that, head towards Gujranwala from Wazirabad!  Decisive battle with the British and Indian troops!  "Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa introduced. The main force of the Chinese Army's First Group is the 1st Armored Brigade of the 1st Group Army. However, the Chenab River Bridge in Gujrat has long been blown up by the British and Indian troops. Even if China  The Army crossed the Chenab River with the support of artillery and air force, but it was still impossible to send the armored troops across the river in a short time. Therefore, it could only think of other ways. And Le Sueur's  The bridge that has not been blown up has undoubtedly become the hope of the Chinese Army's First Group. As long as the armored troops can successfully cross the Chenab River, they can launch an assault on the British and Indian troops. In the plain areas, even the British and Indian troops  No matter how many troops there are, they can't withstand the assault of the armored troops!

    "Capturing the Lesuure Bridge this time is the key to this battle. After capturing the Lesueur Bridge, the armored brigade and the cavalry brigade crossed the bridge as quickly as possible, and then defeated the British and Indian troops guarding Lesueur, holding this  Bridge. Wait until the main force of the 1st Group Army crosses the river and advance north as quickly as possible! We will eat the 3rd Group Army of the British and Indian Army before the British and Indian Army can react!" said General Yang Guoxing.  The British and Indian troops have concentrated 8 armies in the Punjab Plain, and there is also an army in Delhi. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the Chinese Army's First Group, which has only 800,000 troops including mercenaries!

    "Yes, Commander! We guarantee that we can complete this combat mission!" Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa, chief of staff of the 1st Group Army who was responsible for commanding the main force of the 11th Group Army to conduct roundabout operations, replied!  The commander of the group army, General Yang Guoxing, was stationed in Gujrat to command the operation, while the main force of the 11th Group Army, which was fighting in a roundabout way, was left to the command of Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa!

    "The Army Artillery Brigade and the Air Force will provide fire cover for the river crossing operation in Gujrat! The specific combat time is tomorrow night! The roundabout operation of the main force of the 11th Army will begin after dark tomorrow evening. In order to keep the 11th Army Cavalry Brigade confidential  The Indians along the route will be cleared to prevent leakage of our operations! After dark, the main force of the 11th Army began to set off from Gujrat and is expected to arrive in Lesur around 12 o'clock in the evening! Elite reconnaissance troops were dispatched to seize the bridge.  Prevent the British and Indian troops from blowing up the bridge! Then the cavalry brigade quickly passed the bridge to defend, and the armored brigade then crossed the river and defeated the counterattack of the British and Indian troops. The entire army must cross the river and rest for two hours before 9 a.m. on December 1  After that, start the assault to the north! Arrive at Wazirabad before 4 p.m. to cooperate with the first group to besiege the British-Indian 3rd Army! All the fighting must be ended before December 2!" General Yang Guoxing continued.  The most critical points in this battle plan are two points. One is to capture the bridge before the British and Indian troops blow it up, and to remove the explosives on the bridge.  The second point is from??Suer assaulted Wazirabad and cooperated with the frontal troops to annihilate the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army!  Once the Chinese army launches an attack, the British and Indian troops will definitely dispatch troops to reinforce Wazirabad!  The Chinese army must deal with the British and Indian troops in Wazirabad as soon as possible.  Otherwise, after the reinforcements of the British and Indian Army arrive, it will not be so easy to kill a group of British and Indian Army troops!  After all, the more than four million troops assembled by the British and Indian troops in the Punjab plains is a number that is enough to make one's scalp numb.  There is no doubt that the Chinese Army's First Group will face a tough battle this time, but if they can win, then they will also achieve an eye-catching victory!

    "Yes, Commander!" Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian and Artillery Brigade Commander Major General Chen Jianbing both replied.  The biggest advantage of the Chinese Army facing the British and Indian forces is its overwhelming advantage in artillery and its advantage in the air force.  Otherwise, the Chinese Army would not dare to face an enemy that is several times larger

    "Very good! Everyone, go down and make preparations! Tomorrow night, the main force of the 1st Group Army will begin the attack! The day after tomorrow, the rest of the troops will also launch a cross-river operation!" General Yang Guoxing was very satisfied with everyone's statement!

    One day later, on November 30, when the sun went down, the night gradually dimmed.  On the east bank of the Chenab River, the British and Indian troops were already well prepared.  Although they don't know when or where the Chinese Army will launch an attack, they know that this day is coming soon!  Although the British and Indian troops blocked the news of the tragic defeat of the British and Indian troops in Calcutta, there is no airtight wall in the world. Many Indian Asan knew about the tragic defeat of Calcutta, which also caused panic among the British and Indian troops.  In addition, some troops participated in the battle on the northwest border of India, and they knew that the Chinese army was powerful.  Many Indian Asans who joined the army regretted it. If the British officers hadn't kept a close watch, those Indian Asans would have greased their feet and fled!

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the cavalry brigade of the Chinese Army's 1st Group Army will be dispatched. They will set up defenses along the road leading to the south to prevent the British and Indian spies from revealing the news of the Chinese army's dispatch.  For the sake of confidentiality, the native Indians in the Indian villages along the highway were put under guard and put in charge of Japanese mercenaries.  Of course, one can only imagine what will happen to these Indian Asans!

    After the cavalry troops were dispatched, the 1st Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army set off. The 3rd Infantry Division, 48th Infantry Division, 54th Infantry Division and 55th Infantry Division of the 1st Group Army also set off one after another, as well as the baggage brigades directly under the group army. The whole army marched in a hurry.  The speed is approaching south.  A distance of 40 kilometers has to be covered in 6 hours.  In order to save the physical strength of the infantry as much as possible, the First Army of the Chinese Army deployed a large number of trucks to strengthen the main force of the First Army, and used trucks to transport troops as much as possible.  In addition, during the process of burning, killing and looting in the Punjab plains, Japanese mercenaries also robbed a large number of livestock, including horses, mules, donkeys, etc., totaling tens of thousands.  Now all these livestock have been requisitioned and handed over to the main force of the 1st Army.  This can greatly enhance the marching speed of the troops, and at the same time, it can also allow the soldiers to maintain good physical strength, so that they can go into battle after arriving at their destination!

    At 10 o'clock in the evening, three cavalry battalions of the Chinese Army's 1st Group Army's Cavalry Brigade arrived less than one kilometer away from the Lillesur Bridge.

    After arriving here, the cavalry troops stopped advancing and waited for the arrival of the reconnaissance troops from the rear.

    At half past KO, the reconnaissance battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese Army began to attack the Le Sueur Bridge.  Although there was an infantry division of the British and Indian Army stationed at Le Sueur, the British and Indian troops may not have expected that the Chinese Army would take a detour of dozens of kilometers to attack Le Sueur. There was only one battalion of several hundred Indian Asan on the bridge.  These Indian Asans have almost no defense.  When the reconnaissance battalion of the Chinese Army's 3rd Infantry Division secretly approached the bridge.  The vanguard quietly touched up and killed the sentry on the west side of the bridge, and then the reconnaissance battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division launched an attack.  Thousands of soldiers launched a fierce attack on the British and Indian troops. Unprepared, the British and Indian troops of several hundred people were beaten dizzy and collapsed on the spot.  Except for a very small number of British and Indian troops who escaped, most of the British and Indian troops were wiped out!  Of course, the gunshots also woke up the British and Indian defenders in Le Sueur!
