    The night of November 30th was destined to be an unusual night. The First Group of the Chinese Army captured the bridge in Le Sueur through a raid, which also kicked off the Punjab Battle!  The First Group of the Chinese Army and the British and Indian Army, with more than five million troops, launched a fierce life-and-death struggle on this fertile plain. Millions of people died in this battle, and their blood irrigated the land here.  The land makes this plain more fertile.

    Gujranwala, an important city on the Punjab plains, has become a sea of ??soldiers during this time.  More than three armies of the British and Indian Army are stationed in this city, not including the 5th Army which is coming from Delhi.  And here is also the location of the headquarters of the British-Indian Army in the Punjab War!

    It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when General Kitchener, the commander of the British and Indian forces, learned that the Chinese Army had captured the Le Sueur Bridge.  Moreover, more accurate information from the front line has been received. The 2nd Infantry Division of the 72nd Army stationed in Lesueur has been defeated by the Chinese Army's cavalry troops, and Lesueur has also fallen!  The main force of the Chinese Army was crossing the Chenab River through the Le Sueur bridge. This was undoubtedly a surprise to the British and Indian troops.  Before this, the main direction of the British and Indian army's defense had always been in the direction of Wazirabad.

    "General, the commander of the 7th Army, Lieutenant General Daniel, called. The Chinese have captured Le Sueur. Now he has mobilized three armies, including the 72nd Army, to go to Le Sueur, preparing to take advantage of the number of Chinese who have crossed the river.  Defeat the Chinese before long and recapture the bridge!" Lieutenant General Deverell, Chief of Staff of the British and Indian Army, reported to General Kitchener!

    "Hmph! Do you believe that the 7th Army has this ability? If it is not as expected, not to mention that the 7th Army only sent 3 armies. Even if all the troops of the 7th Army rushed there, they would probably not be Chinese.  His opponent!" Admiral Kitchener said coldly.

    He repeatedly told all ministries to strengthen their preparedness and respond immediately and accurately once an attack by the Chinese army is discovered.  The Le Sueur Bridge was to be blown up immediately.  But he never expected that the final solution was beyond his expectation. Those Indian Asan, who was indeed unreliable in their work, had already captured the Le Sueur Bridge.  When he thought that the main force of the Chinese Army's First Group was constantly crossing the river through the Le Sueur Bridge, General Kitchener felt very angry and even had the urge to kill.  He knew that if the British and Indian troops lost the natural chasm of the Chenab River, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Chinese army in a night battle!

    "General, do you mean that the Chinese army that captured Lesur is their main force? In other words, the Chinese troops in Gujrat are just suspects. They deliberately asked us to strengthen our defenses in Wazirabad until we wait.  They launched a surprise attack on us when our defenses were lax!" Lieutenant General Deverell said.  If this is really the case, then the British and Indian troops will suffer a big loss!

    "From now on, it should be like this! The Chinese used this move to successfully break through our Chenab River defense line. It is already impossible for us to block the Chinese west of the Chenab River.  !" Admiral Kitchener said.

    "General, what should we do? Do we need reinforcements in the direction of Hafizabad? If the Chinese launch an attack on Hafizabad, the 7th Army will not be able to withstand the Chinese attack!" Deverell said  Jiang said with some worry.

    "Well! Let Lieutenant General Daniel shrink his troops and strengthen the defense of Hafizabad. In addition, let the 11th Army go to Hafizabad early tomorrow morning to assist the 7th Army in guarding there! At the same time, let the 5th Army speed up  , we must rush to Gujranwala within two days. The 3rd Army garrisoned in Wazirabad and the 4th Army garrisoned in Sialkot have strengthened their defenses to prevent Chinese attacks. In addition, the 10th Army and the 4th Army garrisoned in Sialkot  The 11th Group Army has stopped advancing towards Wazirabad and is on standby! Waiting for the next order!" General Kitchener issued a series of orders in succession to adjust the combat deployment of the British and Indian troops.  Originally, he thought that the main attack direction of the Chinese Army's First Group was Wazirabad. In this case, he dispatched two armies to reinforce Wazirabad so that the British and Indian troops could resist the Chinese army's attack in Wazirabad.  But now, the Chinese army has captured the Lesur Bridge, which makes General Kitchener doubt his own judgment. If the Chinese army's main attack direction is not Wazirabad, but Hafizabad, then the British and Indian  The army will have to adjust the direction of increasing its troops.  After all, it is only 40 kilometers from Hafizabad to Gujranwala. After capturing Hafizabad, the Chinese Army will be able to pose a serious threat to Gujranwala!

    "It's the general!" Lieutenant General Deverell had no doubts about General Kitchener's analysis.  If the main attack direction of the Chinese army is really Hafizabad and the British and Indian troops deploy the main force to Wazi>D, then the British and Indian troops may not be able to defend Gujranwala.Allow.  He had already experienced the powerful attack power of the Chinese Army. Once the British and Indian troops were unable to hold Gujranwala before reinforcements arrived, the retreat of the millions of troops deployed on the Punjab plain would be cut off.  For the British and Indian troops, it was definitely a fatal blow!

    Lieutenant General Deverell quickly conveyed General Kitchener's order, and the British and Indian troops in the Punjab region began to mobilize.  Although it is still night, for the British and Indian troops, the Chinese Army's capture of the Le Sueur Bridge still caused a great shock to them. This shows that they will soon fight against those extremely vicious and devil-like Chinese Army.  .  The previous British and Indian armies that fought against the Chinese Army all ended in failure without exception. What was their final result? Can they succeed?  This is very difficult to say!

    On the Lesour Bridge, the main force of the Chinese Army's 11th Group Army is continuously arriving at the east bank of the Chenab River through the bridge!  Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa, chief of staff of the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army, was personally on the east side of the bridge, watching troops continuously passing through the bridge.  By one o'clock in the morning on December 1, the 1st Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army had all passed the bridge.  Next to cross the bridge is the Army's 48th Division. Behind the 48th Division are the 54th and 55th Divisions and the Army's Baggage Brigade!  To ensure that hundreds of thousands of troops can march long distances and launch attacks, baggage is very important, especially the fuel for the armored forces, which is the top priority!  If there is no fuel, the combat effectiveness of the powerful armored forces will not be fully unleashed!

    "Chief of Staff, the armored troops defeated the troops of the 72nd Army of the British and Indian Army, wiping out more than 20,000 enemies. The remaining people escaped in embarrassment at night! In addition, it was discovered that two more British and Indian troops were advancing towards Le  Suer is approaching, and the armored brigade and cavalry brigade requested to attack and defeat them at night to prevent them from affecting our plan!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa!

    "Approved the combat plan of the armored brigade and cavalry brigade, but required them to return before dawn! After dawn, the commander's side will launch an attack on Wazirabad. We must advance there as soon as possible and attack the British with the frontal troops.  The 3rd Indian Army!" Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa said.  Annihilating the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army, and then marching towards Gujranwala to engage in a decisive battle with the British and Indian Army. This was already a plan that had been drawn up before!  To annihilate hundreds of thousands of people in the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army, the main force of the 11th Army must arrive in time!

    "Yes, Chief of Staff!" The staff officer nodded, and then left quickly to issue orders to the armored brigade and cavalry brigade!

    At 3 a.m. on December 1, the 1st Armored Brigade and Cavalry Brigade of the 1st Group Army of the Chinese Army encountered the 75th Army and the 76th Army of the British and Indian Army 8 kilometers southeast of Lesueur.  The two sides started a melee. Although the two armies of the British and Indian armies totaled nearly 100,000 troops, they were unable to resist the impact of the Chinese Army's armored troops and cavalry, and almost collapsed at the first touch.  One hundred thousand British Indian troops were defeated and fled in embarrassment, unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army's armored and cavalry troops.  The armored and cavalry units of the Chinese Army pursued these broken troops and did not stop until they pursued them for more than ten kilometers.  In this battle, more than 20,000 British and Indian soldiers died, and the rest were dispersed. In the end, less than half of the troops were gathered together!

    At 6 o'clock in the morning, the main force of the Chinese Army's 11th Group Army all passed the Le Sueur Bridge, and more than 100,000 troops began to leave Le Suir and assault northward.  The armored troops and cavalry troops who fought hard all night still acted as the vanguard of the entire army and attacked Wazirabad.  It is a full forty kilometers from Lesur to Wazirabad.

    The original plan was to arrive at Wazirabad before 4 pm, but because the bridge was captured very smoothly, and almost all the infantry rode on livestock, this made the troops march much faster.  It is expected that they will be able to arrive at Wazirabad before 11 o'clock in the morning, cooperate with the frontal troops to besiege the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army, and then eat this army in the shortest possible time!

    When more than 100,000 Chinese troops set off from Lesur in a mighty manner and turned around to attack north, the British and Indian troops realized their error in judgment. The main direction of the Chinese Army's attack was not Hafizabad, but Wo.  Zirabad.  When this news was delivered to General Kitchener, it was already after 9 o'clock in the morning. At this time, the Chinese Army had launched an attack from Gujrat to Wazirabad. At the same time, the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army  The main force is not far from Wazirabad!
