India, Delhi! In the British and Indian Army Command, the British and Indian Army Commander Kichinner! General was furious.
"Adri, what exactly does he want to do? Why do you fight with the Chinese? Didn't the Middle East war a few years ago awaken him? He won't really compete with the Chinese army because of those Indian natives?
?” Admiral Kitchener roared. Although, in order to increase the morale of the British and Indian troops, British officers always described to the Indians that the Chinese are vulnerable, as long as the gunshots sounded
It will run away like a rabbit. This makes the Indians naively think that the Chinese army is really very trash, even more trash than the British and Indian troops who have just joined the army. In addition, it has extremely high levels of trash in India.
With great influence on the propaganda of the Congress and the Muslim Alliance, the stupid Indians all joined the British and Indian army with great enthusiasm and walked onto the battlefield. Until they really faced the Chinese army, they
Only then will you know how ridiculous their previous ideas were.
The strength of the Chinese army is enough to rank among the forefront of the world. Even the German army, which has always been known as the world's number one, is now deliberately unable to compare with the Chinese army. Not to mention that these are just British and Indian troops composed of the Indian San.
But Lieutenant General Adrie, as a senior general of the British Army and a general who participated in the Middle East War, shouldn’t be so arrogant!
"General, what should we do now? Do we need to send more troops to Afghanistan?" asked Lieutenant General Defreir, Chief of Staff of the British and Indian Army. The 23rd Army of the British and Indian Army suffered a crushing defeat, so the British and Indian Army was
All the deployments in Afghanistan were all over. Originally, they wanted to rely on the troops deployed in Afghanistan to attack the logistics supply lines of the Chinese Army to drag down the Chinese Army. Now it seems that this is not feasible at all. Or it is based on those Indias.
If Ah San comes to perform this task, there is no possibility of success at all.
Admiral Kitchener was silent, and he was also a little hesitant. If he wanted to defeat the Chinese army, it was necessary to send troops to the mountains of Afghanistan. However, those Indians were useless, unless they were sent to send a pure British army.
Afghanistan can do it. However, two armies composed of the British Army, one in Delhi and the other in Kolkata, are simply impossible to enter Afghanistan in a short period of time. The Chinese Army is progressing very quickly in Afghanistan.
After the British and Indian Army's 23rd Army was eliminated, they will soon occupy the entire territory of Afghanistan. At this time, sending troops to Afghanistan is the difference between sending troops to Afghanistan and dying.
"No need, contact the King of Afghanistan and let him lead the Afghan army to fight in the mountains. Wait until we defeat the Chinese in India, and then help them drive away the Chinese and restore his rule!" said Admiral Kitchener.
If we want to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains of Afghanistan, no one is more suitable than those native Afghans. However, what Admiral Kitchener doesn't know is that China also has supporters in Afghanistan. And the Tajiks supported by China,
The Hazara, Uzbek and Turkmen, combined with a total population of more than the Pashtuns. These people mainly live in northern Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush Mountains. The Chinese Army has the support of these Afghan tribes,
It is impossible for Afghan King Habibra Khan to fight guerrilla warfare with the Chinese army. As long as the Chinese army eliminates Habibra Khan's main force, the armed forces of these tribes alone can eliminate Habibra Khan. And,
The tribal armed forces of these oppressed ethnic minorities have long been waiting for the arrival of this day.
"Here is the Governor!" At this moment, the guards outside shouted loudly.
The British and Indian Army commander General Kitchener and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Defreir quickly stood up. The Indian Governor Baron Harding walked in from outside the door, but his face was not very optimistic. He probably knew that the British and Indian Army was 23rd.
The army group suffered a crushing defeat in northern Afghanistan.
"General Kitchener, I heard we were defeated in northern Afghanistan? Is that true?" Baron Harding asked.
"Governor General, this is what it is. Lieutenant General Adrie, commander of the 23rd Army of the British and Indian Army, did not carry out our forces. He stubbornly fought against the Chinese in northern Afghanistan, but suffered heavy losses. He is now leading the defeated generals in the remnants.
Retreat to the Hindu Kush Mountains!" General Kitchener replied honestly.
"General Kitchener, then does this have any impact on our overall strategy?" Baron Harding asked with a frown.
"Governor General, this failure has little impact on us, and we have also found out the combat power of the Chinese through this battle. Although we failed in Afghanistan, there are too many mountains in Afghanistan and poor transportation facilities.
From time to time, large troops fight. Even if the Chinese capture Afghanistan, they will not pose much threat to us. The troops they operate in Afghanistan, including mercenaries, have more than 800,000. They only need to maintain the supply of these troops.
It is already very difficult. We have deployed heavy troops in the Dobagagar Mountains, Suleiman Mountains, Shafid Mountains, and Caesar Mountains at the junction of India and Afghanistan. The Chinese want to pass Afghanistan to
It will be very difficult to launch an attack in northwestern India! We are confident to resist the Chinese on the border!" General Kitchener replied. The British and Indian troops deployed 6 armies on the border between India and Afghanistan, three
The army of millions. In addition, the two strategic areas of Khyber Pass and Polun Pass are key defense areas for the British and Indian troops. There are only 800,000 Chinese troops entering Afghanistan, even if the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops is rubbish,
But it is definitely not that easy for the Chinese to break through the defense line of the British and Indian troops, which have favorable conditions!
After listening to General Kitchener's answer, Baron Harding's face looked a little better. Even though he knew that the strength gap between the British and Indian troops and the Chinese army was too big, if he wanted to withstand the Chinese army's attack, it was Tianfang.
A fantasy. But if the failure was so rapid, it would still be very difficult for him to accept.
"Apart from the direction of Afghanistan, are there any movements in the Chinese?" Baron Harding asked.
"Governor General, the Himalayas in the north have entered winter, and it is impossible for the Chinese to launch an attack at this time. In the east, it has rained heavily again during this period, and the Chinese should have stopped after the rain has stopped.
Only then will the attack be launched. We have deployed heavy troops in the East Bengal region, which is enough to withstand the Chinese attack!" General Kitchener replied. The British and Indian troops also speculated that the Chinese would launch an attack on northeastern India through Myanmar.
Therefore, heavy troops were deployed in the East Bangladesh region. The junction between Bangladesh and Myanmar was also surrounded by mountains and dense forests. In addition, the dense rivers in East Bangladesh are not suitable for the Chinese army with too many heavy equipment. Therefore, General Kitchener is responsible for the fight.
I am still very confident to resist the attack of the Chinese army.
Seeing General Kitchener's affirmation, Baron Harding finally felt relieved and encouraged General Kitchener to wait for a few words before he left the British and Indian Army Command and returned to the Governor's Mansion!
On the battlefield in northern Afghanistan, the main force of the 23rd British and Indian Army's 23rd Army had been surrounded and annihilated. However, a small number of British and Indian troops still escaped from the encirclement and began to flee to the Hindu Kush Mountains in the south. Although the British and Indian Army's
The combat power is not good, but they are numerous, so it is not that easy to completely eliminate them.
After learning that the British and Indian troops had fled, the 1st Army of the Chinese Army immediately dispatched troops to pursue. If these British and Indian troops were allowed to flee into the Hindu Kush Mountains and entrenched in it to fight guerrilla warfare, then the logistics of the Chinese Army would be the Chinese Army
Don’t think about peace in the supply line. At the same time, China also contacted the ethnic minorities in northern Afghanistan and asked them to intercept the fleeing British and Indian troops, and after the Chinese army caught up, they would destroy these British and Indian troops in one fell swoop.
If it were before, the ethnic minorities in northern Afghanistan would not have the courage to exchange fire with the British and Indian troops. But at this moment, the main force of the British and Indian troops had been eliminated, and the remaining few British and Indian troops were like dogs. Naturally, those Afghan ethnic minorities would not
Let's miss this opportunity to beat the dogs. Moreover, if they want to fight against the Pashtun people who occupy Afghanistan, they must obtain China's support. The British and Indian army is also supporter of the Pashtun people. Therefore,
Under the orders of the tribal elders, a large number of tribal armed forces began to gather and attack the fleeing British and Indian troops.
These Afghan tribes are equipped with simple equipment, without machine guns and artillery, and the weapons they use are all old-fashioned rifles supported by China. However, in the mountains, the British and Indian troops are obviously unable to compare with the Afghan tribe armed forces. These Afghans are elusive and often
A few or dozens of people lie in ambush on the British and Indian army's necessary path and attack the British and Indian army. They retreated after a few robberies, which made the British and Indian army unable to escape in time, which was very annoying!
Lieutenant General Adri, commander of the 23rd British and Indian Army, led a unit of more than 20,000 people to escape to Plehumri. From here, you can enter the Hindu Kush Mountains. Although the mountain road is difficult to walk,
But it will also limit the pursuit speed of the Chinese Army. This made Lieutenant General Adri breathed a sigh of relief. However, what he did not expect was that he was in big trouble here.
When the British and Indian troops were preparing to enter the Hindu Kush Mountains from Prahumri, the tribal armed forces of the Hazara people living in this area gave them a headache and persisted until the Chinese army arrived.
