Chapter 1203 Surrounding and annihilating the British and Indian Army

At 7 a.m. on December 1, Gugerat, the artillery brigade of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army and the artillery battalions of the other 12 infantry divisions all brought the artillery positions closer. A total of more than 800 heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 mm have taken off the artillery jacket, and the thick artillery barrels point to the east, and the positions of the British and Indian Army 3rd Army on the east bank of the Jenab River! On the bank of the west bank of the Jenab River, the infantry artillery mobilized by the 13th Division, the 47th Division and several other infantry divisions, and the 120 mm heavy mortars were all pushed to the defense line on the shore. These light artillery will provide fire cover for the troops crossing the Jenab River in the following battle.

In addition, at several field airports around Gugerat, more than 200 fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force's First Wing and the Wing are ready for air combat. For the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets, the Indian battlefield is undoubtedly the least dangerous battlefield! On the Indian battlefield, the British and Indian troops do not have any air force and lack air defense weapons. In this case, they cannot pose a threat to the Chinese Air Force at all! All fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force can arbitrarily fight against the UK.

The Indian army's positions were strafed and bombed without worrying about being shot down! Since the war started, the Chinese Air Force's First Wing and Third Wing only lost three fighters, and they all crashed due to failures, rather than shot down! For this battle, the two Air Force's corps were also ready. After the battle started, they would take off to suppress the British and Indian Army's 3rd Army on the east bank of the Jenab River, creating favorable opportunities for the troops crossing the river!

The positions of the British and Indian Army 3rd Army were quiet. Although the first group of the Chinese Army launched an attack in Lesour last night and captured the Lesour Bridge, which caught the British and Indian Army off guard. But this was a good thing for the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army. For a long time, these British and Indian troops were also worried that the Wazilabad, who they were stationed, would become the main attack direction of the Chinese Army. Now the main attack direction of the Chinese Army has become Hafizabad, which made the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army very happy. They don’t care what impact the Chinese Army crossed the Jenab River in Lesour. They only know that at least they don’t have to face the attacks of the evil and powerful Chinese people! Their safety has a guarantee! As for the lives of other compatriots, they can’t take care of so many!

At 7:5 in the morning, General Yang Guoxing, commander of the First Cluster of the Chinese Army, came to the position of the Artillery Brigade of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army. The main force of the 1st Army successfully captured the Lesour Bridge and began to march towards Vozilabad, which undoubtedly shows that the battle started very well! If there were no accidents, they were completely likely to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army before the British and Indian army reacted!

"Commander, we are ready and can open fire at any time!" The commander of the Artillery Brigade of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army reported to General Yang Guoxing!

"Start the shelling!" General Yang Guoxing ordered. This time, the battle between the first group of the Chinese Army against the British and Indian troops has begun, and it is time for them to win!

"Yes, Commander!" The brigade commander of the artillery brigade saluted and returned to his command position.

Two minutes later, the positions of the Artillery Brigade of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army opened fire first. Then, the artillery battalions of other infantry divisions also opened fire. Eight hundred heavy artillery began to tilt shells to the positions of the British and Indian Army 3rd Army on the other side of the river!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Orange red flames shone at the muzzle. Grenades flew to the other side of the river under the action of huge kinetic energy, and then exploded on the British and Indian military positions, and smoke rose on the British and Indian military positions.

A large number of British and Indian soldiers hurriedly emerged from the barracks under the shelling, watching all this in shock.

They had no idea why the shells fell on their heads. Didn’t they say that the direction of the Chinese Army’s main attack was Hafizabad? What was the shells that fell on their heads?

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The sharp roars of shells slashed through the air made people's scalp numb. The British and Indian soldiers who were still stunned immediately ran away with their heads and began to find a place to hide. Although I don't know why the Chinese launched an attack here, I don't have time to think about those things now. Escape first is the most important thing!

The British and Indian troops' positions began to tremble under the bombardment of heavy artillery by the Chinese Army. The trenches were blown down one by one. The barbed wire in front of the positions was blown down one by one, and the firepower points were directly blown into the sky. Under the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, the British and Indian troops' positions seemed to be made of paper! Faced with the fierce artillery attacks of the Chinese Army, the British and Indian troops did not even have the strength to fight back!

"Buzz!" With a roar from the sky, twenty Chinese Air Force's HB Hongyan, bombers flew over the British and Indian military positions. After the bullet cabin was opened, 50 kilograms of aviation bombs fell one by one! The position of the army turned into a sea of ​​fire in the dense explosions! In the absence of weapons that threatened the Chinese Air Force, the Chinese Air Force's bombers could perform bombing missions without the escort of fighters. This is almost impossible on the North American battlefield. Although the "hurricane" of the US Army Air Force, the "fighter" and "battery" are poor in performance, but not bombers can deal with it. In the Indian battlefield, there are no such worries at all!

The fierce attack of the First Cluster of the Chinese Army on the British and Indian Army's 3rd Army made the British and Indian Army completely confused. After Lieutenant General Kenneth, commander of the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army, reported to General Kitchener, General Kitchener was also very puzzled. He even speculated whether the attack launched by the First Cluster of the Chinese Army in Vozilabad was a feint, specifically to attract the attention of the British and Indian troops, the British and Indian troops focused on Vozilabad. Then the Chinese Army could take the opportunity to capture Hafizabad, destroy the 7th Army of the British and Indian Army and the reinforcements sent later.

Even though Lieutenant General Kenneth assured General Kitchener that the Chinese army used hundreds of heavy artillery and air force in Vozilabad, it was not like a feint attack at all. General Kitchener did not agree to send reinforcements to Vozilabad, but instead asked the 3rd Army to hold on. As a result, this directly led to the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army being completely wiped out!

The first group of the Chinese Army carried out artillery bombardment of the British and Indian Army's 3rd Army for half an hour, and the British and Indian troops' positions were in a mess! Although the British and Indian troops were not very casualties during this artillery and bombing, most of the British and Indian troops were not on the positions, at least the positions were destroyed. However, the fierce bombing of the heavy artillery units and the air force of the Chinese Army scared the Indian San who had witnessed this terrifying firepower strike for the first time, and their combat effectiveness was greatly affected.

At 7:50 in the morning, the 131st Regiment of the Chinese Army began to cross the river. The Jenab River is about one kilometer wide in this section, and hundreds of landing crafts are scattered on the two-kilometer-long river surface, which seems a bit dense. However, the second batch of dozens of fighter jets from the Chinese Air Force have flew over the British and Indian positions. The strafing and bombing of these fighter jets made the British and Indian troops urinate, and they could not form a favorable blockade to the Chinese Army. The 131st Regiment of the Chinese Army crossed the Jenab River at a slight cost.

Under the cover of the air force, the 132nd Regiment of the Chinese Army began to cross the river, and the officers and soldiers of the 131st Regiment launched an attack on the British and Indian positions! The British and Indian troops' resistance was very weak, and the 131st Regiment of the Chinese Army easily captured a position that was one kilometer long and reached a depth of 500 meters!

By 9 a.m., three regiments of the 13th Division of the Chinese Army had crossed the Jenab River. The 47th Division of the Army was also crossing the river! In addition, the engineers also started to build a pontoon bridge. The large-scale crossing of the Chinese Army was launched in Vozilabad, and the news that the main force of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army turned around and advanced north in Lesour made General Kitchener finally believe that the main attack direction of the Chinese Army's first cluster was not Hafibazad, but Vozilabad. The 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army had already fallen into extreme danger!

General Kitchener immediately ordered the 10th and 12th Army of the British and Indian Army to march towards Vozilabad immediately, but these two armies had been delayed for several hours. They were still dozens of kilometers away from Vozilabad. With the speed of the British and Indian Army, it would be impossible to arrive without more than one day!

While requesting Lieutenant General Kenneth, the commander of the British and Indian Army's 3rd Army, defended Vozirabad, while ordering the British and Indian Army's 10th Army and the 12th Army to speed up to support the 3rd Army. At the same time, he ordered the 11th Army rushing to Hafizabad to return to Gujlanwara to prepare for the next fierce attack of the Chinese Army's first group!

At 10 a.m., the main force of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army arrived east of Wozilabad, cutting off the connection between the 3rd Army of the British and Indian Army and the rear. At the same time, the Chinese army crossed the river also reached three infantry divisions. As the pontoon bridge built by the engineers began to be put into use, a large number of Chinese troops and Japanese mercenaries began to attack Wozilabad through the pontoon bridge!

At 11 a.m., the Chinese army broke through the direction of the British and Indian troops, invaded Vozilabad, and began to encircle and annihilate the army!
