The first thousand one hundred and ninety-ninth chapters decisive battle in Punjab
The Punjab Plain has been the richest and most fertile place in India since ancient times. Punjab means the five river basin area. The irrigation conditions here are very good and the soil is fertile. It has always been the largest grain-producing area in India and the center of Indian rule.
The capital of British India is located in Delhi, Punjab. However, Punjab is now facing the threat of Chinese troops. If the British and Indian troops cannot defeat the Chinese troops on the Punjab plains, then the British and Indian troops will be in this battle.
It was completely failed!
On November 29, General Kitchener, the commander of the British and Indian army, personally rushed to Gujlanwala to command this battle. From this we can see his importance to this battle! The British and Indian army this time
During the Punjab War, a total of 9 armies were invested, and even the 1st army guarding Delhi was transferred to the front line. The British and Indian troops now have no way out. If they want to defend India, they must win this battle.
That's fine! Otherwise, the British and Indian generals would never have any chance again!
Among the 9 armies of the British and Indian army, except for the 5th army, it also needs to rush from Delhi to the Punjab Plain, the other eight armies have already entered the Punjab Plain! They confronted the Chinese army across the Jenab River. Among them,
The 1st Army was deployed in Gujlanwara, the 3rd Army was deployed in Vozilabad, and confronted the Chinese army deployed in Gujrat across the river! The 4th Army was deployed in Sialkot to defend the British and Indian troops
The right wing, the 7th Army Hafibazade, defending the left wing of the British and Indian troops. The rest of the troops were deployed along the Jenab River. The west bank of the Jenab River was the first group of 800,000 troops of the Chinese Army.
The troops that had originally fought in Afghanistan and broke through the British and Indian troops in the western border defense line of India were replenished during this period. A large amount of logistics supplies also arrived at the front line. Inspired by the victory of the Battle of Kolkata, the final battle in Punjab is about to begin.
!
"General, except for the 5th Army, it will take three days to arrive, the rest of the troops have entered the predetermined position! It is expected that the 3rd Army in Vozilabad will become the main attack direction of the Chinese. We have already made the
The bridge on the Jenab River was broken, and if the Chinese wanted to cross the river, they had to force the cross.
However, the Chinese showed strong attack power in several battles. With their firepower and air superiority, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to resist their crossing the river!" Lieutenant General Defrell, chief of staff of the British and Indian Army, looked with a look
Said solemnly.
General Kitchener looked at the map and said for a long time without saying a word, "The 5th Army will be the last reserve team of this battle! Let the 12th Army and the NO Army further deploy! If the Chinese
Cross the Jenab River, then they will act as a counterattack force and drive the Chinese into the river!" The first group of Chinese Army has a total of 800,000 people. They want to cross the Jenab River in a short time.
It is almost unlikely. Even if they can defeat the 3rd Army in the defense of Vozilabad, the British and Indian troops will have enough time to launch a counterattack and drive the Chinese army into the river without a stable footing.
, to launch a counterattack under the strong artillery and air superiority of the Chinese army, the British and Indian army will definitely pay a huge price. However, the total force of the British and Indian army gathered in the Punjab region is five times that of the Chinese army.
The above ·They have enough troops to fight for consumption with the Chinese army, which is also the biggest advantage of General Kitchener!
"Yes, General, I understand!" said Lieutenant General Deferre. Although this kind of combat method can win in the end, it will definitely cost a huge price. However, the British and Indian army.
The army has no other way at this moment. No matter how much troops it loses, it can rely on India's huge population resources to supplement it. However, if they fail, the number of British and Indian troops joining the army will definitely be even smaller. Only victory will be achieved.
Only by giving those Indians a hope, will they willingly join the army to die!
Admiral Kitchener was not sure of winning this battle. The strong attack power shown by the Chinese army on the Indian battlefield shocked him. A large extent of his previous failure was that the combat power of Indian soldiers was weak.
·But General Kitchener is sure that even if it were the world's number one German Army, I'm afraid it wouldn't be more powerful than the Chinese Army!
This war was put under great pressure for General Kitchener. The Chinese Army's attack from India from both east and west was like a rope tied to India's neck, tighter and tighter.
, he was almost breathless. This was also the reason why he chose to make a desperate bet on the Punjab Plain. As long as this battle was won, the morale of the British and Indian soldiers would be greatly boosted and they might be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation. If it fails,
Then we can completely put an end to this war!
Gujrat on the west bank of the Jenab River is only NO kilometers away from the Jenab River, and the Chinese Army's First Cluster Match Command is located here. After a period of rest and replenishment, the Chinese Army's First Cluster Match has been restored.
The 1st Army Group Army, the 201st Division to the 210th Division, the 40th Division of the Japanese mercenaries and the two air force regiments have returned to their peak. Especially the Japanese mercenaries,
After invading India, the Chinese army did not restrain them and allowed them to burn, kill and loot in India. This made these Japanese mercenary soldiers very excited and their desire to fight was very high. The wealth of the Punjab plains allowed these Japanese mercenaries to reap the wealth.
With enough oil and water, many Indians were killed and then they had earned all their hard-earned wealth. Indians have the habit of collecting gold and silver so that they can survive difficult days in difficult times.
Now this has become the source of their disaster. Japanese mercenary soldiers often gathered the Indians in a village and asked them to hand over all the gold and silver. If they didn't hand over, they would kill them all.
.Under such circumstances, in order to save their lives, the Indians had to honestly hand over all their wealth. However, after handing over the wealth, the Japanese did not let them go. Untrustworthy promises were originally
It's just a routine thing.
When General Kitchener arrived at Gujlanwara, General Yang Guoxing, commander of the first cluster of the Chinese Army, and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa, also held a pre-war meeting in Gujrat! The first participants in the meeting were
The chief officers of the infantry divisions and brigades directly under the army, the commanders of ten infantry divisions, the commanders of the air force Lieutenant General Chen Tian, the commander of the Japanese mercenary commander General Kojiro Uchiyama, etc.
"Everyone, let me tell you good news. The third cluster has successfully eliminated millions of British and Indian troops in Kolkata, including the most elite 2nd Army of the British and Indian army. It turns out that even the British and Indian army's 2nd Army is
The army consisting of all British people, but it is still vulnerable in front of our elite army!" General Yang Guoxing said loudly.
"Baopa!" Everyone applauded immediately, and the third cluster won, which could effectively reduce the pressure they face and end the Indian war as soon as possible. Almost all Chinese generals were involved in the Indian war.
Not too willing. In their opinion, fighting with Western powers like the American battlefield or European battlefield is the most satisfying. It is really boring to bully these vulnerable Indian Asans. Of course, the imperial emperor
Wang Yuze issued an order to capture India, and of course they, the imperial soldiers, had to try their best to achieve this goal. However, if the Indian war could be ended as soon as possible, they might be able to catch up with the war against Europe! Therefore, everyone hoped that
The British and Indian troops will be eliminated as soon as possible and the Indian war will be ended as soon as possible.
"According to the latest information we have obtained, the British and Indian troops have gathered more than 8 armies in the Punjab Plain, which is five times that of ours! But, I believe, these millions of British and Indian troops are like
Like a native chicken and a tile dog! They will definitely not be able to withstand our attack!" General Yang Guoxing said.
Everyone looked serious and looked at General Yang Guoxing. Four million British and Indian troops, including 500,000 troops entirely composed of British people, was undoubtedly an extremely huge combat power. For them, it was also a
Very high pressure. Of course, such a huge British and Indian army troops also represent great military achievements. If they can wipe out these British and Indian troops, they will set a record of the largest number of enemies in a battle!
"General Uchiyama, I heard that the Japanese mercenaries lived very comfortable in the Punjab Plain during this period?" General Yang Guoxing suddenly said.
"Genius, I'm sorry, we've caused you trouble!" General Kojiro Uchiyama immediately stood up and said in fear. He didn't know what kind of General Yang Guoxing was like in relation to the burning, killing and looting of Japanese mercenaries on the Punjab Plain.
Attitude.
General Yang Guoxing waved his hand and said, "General Ueyama, I don't mean to blame you! I just want to tell you that India's wealth is concentrated in cities, especially those big cities! If we can do this time
In the war, we will easily defeat the big cities on the Punjab plains, and even the capital of India Delhi! At that time, the Japanese mercenaries will gain ten times or even more than now!"
General Kojiro Uchiyama suddenly opened his mouth, and he seemed to have seen the gold, silver and treasures collected by the Indians in his eyes. He immediately patted his chest and said, "General, please rest assured, our Japanese mercenaries will definitely fight to the death in this battle.
, We will definitely defeat the British and Indian troops!"
