On the morning of KO on the 27th, starting from 5 a.m., the land of the No. NO Army of the Chinese Army was busy. The artillery brigade of the No. NO Army and the artillery battalions of the six infantry divisions under its jurisdiction all gathered, a total of 500.
Many large-caliber heavy artillery were deployed on more than 20 artillery positions. The cannon suits had been removed, and the thick muzzles pointed diagonally towards the western sky. 5 kilometers away from these artillery positions were the 26th Army of the British and Indian Army.
The line of defense is here.
The 26th British and Indian Army Army Group, with a total force of 500,000, commander Lieutenant General David of the British Army. The defense zone of this army is mainly located in the area that is extremely east of Chittagong in eastern Bangladesh. The British and Indian generals also knew that
Just like the mountains between India and Myanmar, it is very difficult for the Chinese army to launch a large-scale attack from the north. Therefore, the southern coastal areas have become the key targets of the British and Indian troops to defend themselves. On the southern border between India and Myanmar
The narrow coastal plain is only about ten kilometers wide. To the north is the Rukkai Mountain Range! Therefore, the main attack direction of the Chinese army must be this coastal plain, which is only ten kilometers wide.
Lieutenant General David deployed five armies of the 26th British and Indian Army on the border and built three lines of defense. A total of twenty-five men were enough to lay out these three lines of defense. Of course, this was just
Lieutenant General David only has his own point of view. Perhaps according to the plan proposed by the staff of the British and Indian Army's 26th Army, these three lines of defense are very strong. But after the people who built the lines of defense became the Indian San, these lines of defense were not
So reliable. Four of the other five armies of the 26th Army were deployed on the Madamuhuo River as a second-tier position. Once the Chinese army breaks through the front-tier position, they can continue to block the Chinese army here. Finally, in
There is only one military deployment in Chittagong.
In Lieutenant General David's view, although the Chinese army can break through their front-line positions, they will definitely pay a heavy price for this. At that time, with the second-line positions and the Madamuho River, they will definitely be able to withstand the Chinese army.
Attack. In addition, behind the 26th Army of the British and Indian Army, there is a 25th Army. According to the order of the British and Indian Army commander General Kitchener, when the 26th Army could not resist the Chinese army, the 25th Army wanted to
Give full support to the 26th Army. However, Lieutenant General David believes that relying solely on the strength of the 26th Army is enough!
At 6 a.m., the 71st Regiment of the 7th Division of the No. NT Army of the Chinese Army entered the attack position. After the battle began, they would be the first unit in the eastern offensive to attack the British and Indian troops. However, in
Before this, they had to wait until the army's artillery and the warships anchored at sea completed the artillery preparations. When they launched an attack, they would find out how easy their attack was. Because the British and Indian troops on the position could not be defeated by the Chinese army at all
The shelling from land and sea, especially the fierce shelling of the fire support ship squadron at sea, caused the British and Indian troops to suffer a lot.
It was also at this time that the nine fire support ships of the Chinese Navy Indian Ocean Fleet Fire Support Ship Squadron, under the escort of more than a dozen light cruisers and destroyers, had already reached less than twenty kilometers from the coast.
After a young age, they will arrive in the sea of artillery. After the Chinese Army artillery on land opens fire, they will also start shelling the British and Indian defense lines.
On the flagship of the Indian Ocean Fleet Fire Support Squadron, on the battleship of the USS. Fleet Commander Major General Lei Hua looked at the nine giant ships in the fleet and felt deeply moved. Although he was not an orthodox naval officer, the Marine Corps
There is a deep connection with the navy. When the Chinese Navy first started to develop, although its equipment was ahead of the world, it could not compare with the old maritime powers in terms of quantity. But now, the Chinese Navy
It was actually able to take out nine battleships to convert them into fire support ships. It shows how great development the Chinese Navy has made over the years.
These fire support ships originally planned to convert the main guns on the battleship into 343mm naval guns. However, due to the lack of time, the 305mm main gun was retained.
However, for targets on land, the 5mm main gun is basically enough. For combat targets like India and Australia, the 5mm main gun can destroy all their fortifications!
At 7 a.m., the British and Indian troops' positions were still quiet. From time to time, several Indian Sans poked their heads out of the trenches and looked at the positions of the Chinese troops opposite the defense line. After finding that there was no movement,
Then he continued to retract back into the trenches and slept. Although British officers had warned them that the Chinese army might start attacking their defense in the near future. But as long as the Chinese have not yet launched any actual attack,
These Indians would probably not take this seriously!
"Fire the gun!" When the pointer on the watch pointed at seven o'clock, the brigade commander of the Artillery Brigade of the 10th Army of the Chinese Army issued an order to open fire. First, more than 200 heavy artillery from the artillery brigade began to defend the British and Indian troops.
Bombardment. The artillery battalions of the other six infantry divisions were also followed. The dense shells cut through the air and smashed the British and Indian troops' defense line!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" When the sound of shells passing through the air at high speed in the sky, many British and Indian soldiers poked their heads out of the trenches. Many of them had just joined the army.
They were clear about what was going on. They looked at the sky blankly.
"Architecture! Hidden! Chinese artillery, hide quickly!" The British officers' voices sounded. The British officers with rich combat experience heard from the sound that this was the heavy artillery of the Chinese Army firing.
When he was lying at the bottom of the trench, he did not forget to inform the Indians who were still stupid.
"Boom! Boom!" One by one, the shells fell on the British and Indian troops' positions. The shells exploded, leaving craters on the ground. The air waves spread around, throwing the Indians and the three of them to the ground.
When the sky landed, it had become a pile of minced meat. Scattered shrapnel began to harvest the exposed lives.
More than 500 heavy artillery fired, and dense shells almost enveloped the ten-kilometer-long position. The Indians had not figured out what happened until now. After coming to their senses, some of them had suddenly fallen into one go.
At the bottom of the trench, praying that the shells would not fall on their heads. Some simply jumped out of the trench and ran backwards. However, these people were often bombed into the sky without a few steps.
The British and Indian troops' positions were originally cut corners. British officers asked British and Indian soldiers to dig anti-aircraft holes, but these anti-aircraft holes could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery. Often, a 105mm howitzer was hit.
It can easily destroy an anti-aircraft hole and bury all the British and Indian troops inside. This causes heavy losses to the British and Indian troops guarding the defense line. The firepower points of the civil structure built by the British and Indian troops cannot withstand heavy artillery at all.
The bombardment was easily destroyed. The excavated trenches were also blown up a lot. Even though the shelling was only ten minutes before, the British and Indian troops were already in a mess, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere.
, the fortifications also became incomplete.
At 7:00 a.m. NO, nine fire support ships of the Chinese Navy Indian Ocean Fleet anchored on the sea also started shelling. Nine warships lined up on the sea, less than five kilometers away from the sea. Because China
The Navy Indian Ocean Fleet has wiped out the British Navy's Indian fleet. The entire Indian Ocean, especially the northern waters of the Indian Ocean, no longer have British Navy warships. The British Navy's Indian fleet has only a very small number of small fighter jets hiding in the port, which is for the Chinese Navy.
It is said that no casualties can be caused!
'Northern Xinjiang, the battleship opened fire first, and 13 305mm main guns fired at the same time. The huge recoil pushed the hull out two meters on the sea surface. Thirteen high-explosive bombs weighing nearly 300 kilograms were roaring
Flying towards the British and Indian military positions, more than ten seconds later, the shells exploded on the British and Indian military defense line. Amid the earth-shaking explosion, more than ten bomb craters with a diameter of about ten meters were left on the British and Indian military positions.
The surrounding trenches have been completely flattened, all the fortifications have been destroyed, and the British and Indian troops that have been affected have been blown to pieces.
'After the battleship opened fire in the northern border, eight other battleships of the fire support ship squadron also opened fire. The dense naval guns exploded on the US defense line, and huge red fireballs rose into the air, devouring all life.
.
Battleships attack land targets without much accuracy. Anyway, the British and Indian troops have ten kilometers of defense, so as long as they don’t hit shells on their own heads.
"Good! What kind of cannon is this? It's too terrifying? If you continue like this, will the people on the position still survive?" The soldiers of the 71st Regiment of the Chinese Army who were waiting for the attack order on the position were also terrifying.
The shelling was shocked. The defense areas of the NO Army were mainly in the southwest of the Empire. I had never seen battleships fire, so I naturally didn't know the power of battleship guns.
"This is our navy's battleships firing. The heavy artillery used by our army, except for those listed guns, is only 155 mm. The smallest artillery of the navy's battleship is 5 mm.
Moreover, the navy's artillery has always been more powerful than the army's. Some of the Indians have suffered this time!" A low-level officer explained happily!
