While giving the rioters on the Andaman Islands a last chance, the British Indian military was also stepping up its efforts to formulate a battle plan. Considering the large number of former Japanese prisoners of war on the islands, it might not be wrong to call it a battle plan.
General Erwin was very conscientious and used the available forces to formulate a plan to seize the island.
It is mainly divided into four steps. In the first step, the air force under the jurisdiction of the British troops stationed in India and Myanmar launched an air attack on the Andaman Islands. However, since airborne leaflets were dropped to persuade them to surrender, the air attack began on the second day.
The second step is to mobilize an Indian division on board the ship as the main force to seize the Andaman Islands. The third step is to conduct a beach landing under the cover of naval guns, and finally annihilate the rioters and restore control of the Andaman Islands.
Of course, these steps were summarized by Alan Wilson, and the wording of the battle plan in the written article is as follows, "Consider the type of war that is limited to regular wars, and use Lanchester's square law to
, the strength of any party is proportional to the square of its own number, which determines the basic satisfaction requirements of both warring parties, as well as the conditions that determine the victory of the final battle. At this point, we can get a judgment and a general understanding of the initial trend of the entire campaign."
"Through the cooperation of different attributes of various arms, the goal is to minimize the task completion time and achieve the maximum combat purpose!"
Very energetic! Alan Wilson knew every word in this combat report, but when they were put together, he barely understood it. Someone gave him this combat report and told him that it was a graduation thesis from the Department of Physics.
, and he would never doubt it.
"You still need to learn a lot in life." In the headquarters of the British Army in India, Alan Wilson was inspired to listen to the indescribable discussions of the military staff. For the first time, he felt inferior in terms of knowledge reserves.
He has boasted in front of many women, and now the skills he relies on to survive are threatened. If he doesn't know how to boast, can he attract Margaret and Vivien Leigh? He hasn't even started the first step, how can he go forward?
?
"Alan, you came from the Governor's Mansion, right? Barron, do you have any suggestions?" After General Erwin made the battle plan, he looked at the embarrassed Alan Wilson with a satisfied look and asked
The purpose of the other party's coming.
"General Erwin, the Governor's Office feels that the surrender letter should be airdropped first. It would be better if there is no bloodshed." Alan Wilson, who was deeply immersed in self-doubt, suddenly woke up after hearing General Erwin's words, "
There are also Japanese prisoners of war in Myanmar who are undergoing restorative reconstruction. These prisoners of war who understand Japanese can be used to write leaflets and airdrop them to the Andaman Islands. If the rioters persist in resisting, it will not be our fault."
"That's a good idea. If nothing else, you should be the one to handle this matter." General Erwin nodded, hoping to get a positive answer from the mouse that fell into the rice vat.
Seeing Allen Wilson nodding, General Irvine nodded and said, "It takes a certain amount of time to prepare for combat. You can use this time to make a final effort."
"I will do my best to avoid bloodshed." Alan Wilson looked solemn and felt a heavy responsibility. In order to maintain European peace and prevent the world from breaking out, Prime Minister Chamberlain betrayed Czechoslovakia.
That's probably the mentality.
Both British Burma and British Malaya had a large number of prisoners of war. The local garrison, which soon received General Erwin's telegram, was waiting for this special mission and airdropped leaflets persuading surrender. The airdrop locations were several places in the Andaman Islands.
The main island, I hope the rioters on the island can hand over their guns and surrender, and the golden tickets will be huge...
The Andaman Islands are nearly a thousand kilometers away from India and much closer to British Burma and the Isthmus of Kra, which belongs to Malaya. At the airports of the two places, transport planes are undergoing final inspections.
The task this time was mainly undertaken by the Bristol-170 transport aircraft. The Bristol-170 was a transport aircraft designed by the British Bristol Company as an economical passenger and cargo or all-cargo aircraft. The prototype first flew in December 1945, but it did not catch up.
During World War II, but the war in Southeast Asia was still ongoing, it was used for military transportation during the war.
The Bristol-170 adopts a high-wing design, with a very high nose cockpit and a large double-opening cargo door below, which is convenient for loading and unloading cargo. Alan Wilson saw it in New Delhi. Like many British products, it is either the most advanced.
Behind technology, or too advanced and immature technology, the Bristol-170 transport aircraft is the former.
At first glance, you will think that the Bristol-170 transport aircraft is a very trendy military transport aircraft. Apart from the huge belly, the layout is not worse than many later American and Soviet transport aircraft. But in the end, it ended up like a Comet passenger plane.
Near noon, the well-fed pilots boarded the transport planes, and twelve Bristol-170 transport planes took off from the airports in British Burma and British Malaya. The mission of these British planes on this trip was not to drop bombs, but to drop propaganda leaflets.
, there are many Japanese words printed on the leaflet, the general idea is to ask the rioters on the island to surrender and stop making unnecessary resistance.
An hour later, the Bristol-170 transport plane appeared in the sky over the Andaman Islands. Knowing that there were no anti-air weapons on the islands, the pilot flew at a low altitude, opened the double hatch on the belly of the aircraft, and dropped the leaflet.
Pilots with good eyesight can even see some rioters appearing and looking at themselves with indifferent eyes, but this is not the point... The point is that the pilot of the transport aircraft flying at an ultra-low altitude saw the piles of bones.
Those were not animal bones. The pilot who realized this took the risk of circling over the Andaman Islands several times to confirm this fact. Tragic facts appeared on the islands.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The rioters watched the hovering enemy planes flying away with numb eyes, and began to pick up the leaflets on the ground, but they did not even read the contents above, and started to
We were looking for a place to enjoy ourselves. Everything was lacking on the island. We had not been able to enjoy the treatment of paper butts for a long time. Not far away was a dense forest of bones. It was clearly broad daylight and the atmosphere on the island was also chilling!
A strange disease appeared on the Andaman Islands. Many people suffered from epilepsy for no reason and felt weak all over. The prisoners of war did not know the cause, but they understood that it must be an infectious disease. The key is that no one knew the source of the infection and there was no protection.
There is no way to talk about it. Hunger and plague have made the rioters like zombies...
In some wooden houses, sick prisoners of war trembled for no reason. A gust of wind drifted through the grass not far away, and the skulls still there were exposed. The empty eye sockets seemed to sneer at these people.
Through the reports returned by the pilots, both Sir Barron and General Irwin learned about the tragedy that occurred in the Andaman Islands. They were both shocked and speechless. For a long time, they came to a unanimous opinion that the Andaman Islands problem must be solved immediately.
“Mad cow disease!” Such a sentence flashed through the silent Alan Wilson’s mind. Is it relevant? Of course it is relevant. The cause and spread of mad cow disease was due to the British cattle feed processing technology that allowed the use of meat and offal from cattle, sheep and other animals.
As feed, abnormal prion protein enters the body of cattle.
That is to say, the feed that cows eat is also made from beef. Cows eating cows is the cause of mad cow disease.
"Conquer the Andaman Islands immediately and wipe out all the rioters." General Erwin issued a military order fiercely.
At the port of Calcutta, a full complement of Indian divisions boarded the ship one after another and left amidst the confusion of the port residents.
At the same time, the British Air Force in Burma and Malaya received orders not to drop leaflets this time, but to bomb the Andaman Islands, and even used four local Lancaster bombers to load aerial bombs.
, joined in this air raid.
As for the Lancaster bomber, I believe the survivors of the British-occupied areas of Cologne and Essen must still have fresh memories. It was the main force in strategic bombing of Germany. With the end of the war, the Lancaster bomber was also deployed.
In the colonial air base, this time it came in handy.
As if World War II was reappearing, a group of British bombers loaded with aerial bombs arrived over the Andaman Islands. The main island of the Andaman Islands suddenly experienced the treatment that Germany received from the British and American bombers.
Aerial bombs were dropped one after another. These Japanese prisoners of war in Southeast Asia did not understand why the mainland surrendered, but now they saw it. For the unarmed Japanese prisoners of war, this bombing was too cruel, as if the war was not over yet.
, but they did not have suitable weapons in their hands.
Some prisoners of war in desperate situations used stolen rifles and artillery to shoot in the air and put up a desperate resistance.
Of course, it had no effect, but it strengthened the British Air Force's determination to bomb. The next day, the third day..., overnight, the British Air Force in the Asian colonies seemed to have returned to 1945, attacking the main island of the Andaman Islands.
Several settlements were blown to pieces.
A few days later, the navy carrying the landing troops arrived belatedly, and the main guns of the tribal-class destroyers joined the bombardment to provide cover for the landing Indian troops. On the surface, the two main islands of the Andaman Islands were almost
Not suitable for human habitation.
The twin 120mm main guns roared, and together with the group of British bombers in the air, they were making final preparations for landing.
Before the artillery fire stopped, the landing troops, urged by the British commander, boarded landing craft and began the landing.
The so-called resistance was not as fierce as imagined. After all, the Andaman Islands' defense force and infantry artillery were only a few, and there were only a thousand items that could pull the trigger on the entire island.
The real resistance started when the Indian soldiers entered the dense forest after landing. At the same time, these soldiers who landed were shocked by the skeletons scattered everywhere, and then they became uncontrollably angry. The Indians on the island should be in danger...
