Asan Kingdom, Delhi City
The coalition forces headed by the Third Group Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force have already arrived at the city. The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms Expeditionary Forces are surrounded by the coalition forces in the city.
Although the Expeditionary Forces still have hundreds of thousands of troops, there are not many real Japs. There are only more than 10,000 people left, and the rest are red-headed flies with no fighting ability (the Asan puppet army likes to wrap a red cloth scarf on their heads) ).
The commander-in-chief of the coalition headquarters is naturally Marshal Alexander, the former commander of the Army in Burma. As the war in the three countries was progressing smoothly, Alexander was promoted to marshal by Fatty Qiu;
There is also Fatty Qiu's little thought in this. Zhang Yu, the commander of the Third Group Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, is only a lieutenant general. This is to overwhelm the Chinese people in terms of momentum.
After the Third Group Army sent troops to the Asan Kingdom, it took just over a month to completely reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield in the Asan Kingdom, advance with great success, and drive all the Japanese to the city of Delhi.
Fatty Qiu believed that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had enough limelight. He suggested to Marshal Alexander that the Chinese people should be spectators in the battle to regain Delhi.
Alexander had long disliked the Chinese people. They were all coaxing and acting like they knew how to fight. This made the proud John Bull lose face;
It was true that he couldn't defeat them before, but it was different now. He was confident that he could defeat the Japanese alone, so he habitually burned bridges across rivers and said to Zhang Yu very politely:
"General Zhang, even the homeland of the Foot Pot Chickens has been captured by Yingjiang. It is no exaggeration to say that they are now a bunch of homeless dogs!
Delhi is the capital of the Three Kingdoms. It has been more than a month since your army entered the Three Kingdoms. It has been a long-term battle and the troops are in urgent need of rest and recuperation. This time, the main attack will be completed by the British-Indian Army, the British Front Army, and the British-Australian Army. The third Chinese army The group army serves as the battle reserve. What does General Zhang want? "
Zhang Yu knew what their intention was as soon as he saw Alexander's expression. It was just burning bridges across rivers. This was their routine operation, so he was not angry.
Although the Japs have suffered heavy losses in the past month or so, the main force is still there. The 33rd Division, the 18th Division, and the 6th Division are all elite Japs. Even if there are only more than 10,000 people left, nothing like John Bull can handle them. , he was waiting to see the joke.
Thinking of this, he said lightly:
"We are guest troops, so we can attack you as we please!
Although there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, there are less than 20,000 footbath chickens, and the others are puppet troops with no combat effectiveness at all;
The general has more than 300,000 elite troops, and there is no problem in wiping out more than 10,000 Japanese. I am waiting to drink your celebration wine. "
Seeing that Alexander had dealt with the Third Army, he stopped paying attention to Zhang Yu and began to line up his troops, preparing to eliminate the remaining enemies in one fell swoop, and also let the Chinese people see John Bull's empire on which the sun never sets;
In Alexander's view, although their influence in the world has declined now, they still have the largest colony in the world, and the remaining power of the empire on which the sun never sets is still there, which is not comparable to a backward country like China.
His troop formation was quite satisfactory, 300,000 versus 150,000. They had the advantage and there would be no problem in recapturing Delhi City.
After the meeting, Zhang Yu left, and he happened to be watching the show.
After John Bull's coalition forces were ready, they launched an attack on the city of Derry;
They had a large number of aircraft and artillery, and rained artillery shells into the city of Delhi. As they expected, the Asan soldiers in the defenders were vulnerable;
Before the artillery preparations were over, they were already defeated. Seeing this, Alexander excitedly said to the British and Indian commander Smith:
"General, the garrison in the city has been in chaos. According to the news coming back from the front line, at least 50,000 puppet troops have fled from the southern city;
The more than 100,000 people who were temporarily put together by the Indian Army have fallen apart. Now it is your turn to rush into the city, kill all the Indian soldiers, and regain Delhi. This is the supreme glory of the British and Indian troops!
Remember, we don’t need prisoners for the footbath chickens in the city. A group of subjugated people do not deserve to be treated as prisoners! "
Lieutenant General Smith accepted the order excitedly. Marshal Alexander had given him the key to the recovery of Delhi. This is the most shining pearl in Her Majesty's crown. Just by virtue of this contribution, he can be promoted. As an army general, he will shine in history.
I have to say that the Marshal was really kind to him.
An hour later, the artillery preparations were completed. More than a hundred tanks from the British-Indian Army Mechanized Division formed a huge steel square and rumbled toward the outer positions of Delhi.
In the city of Delhi, several old Japanese soldiers were inside the headquarters, using binoculars to observe the battlefield situation. Lieutenant General Shosan Sakurai, commander of the 33rd Army, said to Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Renya, commander of the 18th Division:
"Munta-kun, these John Bulls were fooled. It's a pity that the British and Indian troops came, and the Chinese didn't come. It's a pity that there is a table of good food!"
“Sakurai-kun, being able to defeat these John Bulls is a great thing;
There was mutual distrust between them and the Chinese, and it just so happened that the imperial army could defeat them one by one;
The Chinese are a guest army, and the guests do not overwhelm the host. As long as the main force of the host army is defeated, whether the Chinese are willing to fight us is another matter. "
Sakurai Shozo smiled bitterly in his heart and said to himself:
"It has been several years, but Muta-kun is still so naive, unable to see clearly the situation, one moment, the other;
Now that China has won a victory over the empire, they are now a bunch of lost dogs, and China will not allow them to continue to stay in the Asan Kingdom.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? "
Some words should not be said too clearly, as it would easily discourage Muta-kun. Thinking of this, he said to Lieutenant General Muta:
"Muda-kun, let's wait and see. Since a table of guests has arrived, let's take care of them first. What a good tank it is, it would be a pity to leave it in their hands."
In order to deal with John Bull's armored forces, the Japanese adopted the method of luring the enemy deep;
Let the servants of Asan Kingdom pretend to be in chaos and lure John Bull's mechanized troops into the anti-tank positions they had prepared in advance. Then they would dispatch elite troops to defeat John Bull's tank group in one fell swoop, and finally launch a full-scale counterattack...
Just as a few old ghosts were talking, John Bull's steel phalanx charged into the enemy's position menacingly;
And one of their infantry divisions accompanying the tank attack was delayed several hundred meters, which did not provide any protection to the tank troops.
When the Japanese tank division drove straight into the center of the Japanese position, the anti-tank guns dug by the Japanese played a huge role.
The Japanese covered the anti-tank trench with thin wooden boards, and then covered the thin wooden boards with a layer of floating soil;
From a distance, there is nothing unusual about it, even if someone steps on it, it doesn't matter.
It was miserable when dozens of tons of tanks pressed down on them. The tanks broke the wooden planks, and the heads of the tanks fell into the anti-tank trenches, unable to move.
At this time, the Japanese, who were ambushing in the individual soldier pits and driving the soldiers to death in disguise, threw bundles of cluster bombs and incendiary bottles at the anchored tanks, blowing up John Bull's tanks one by one;
The sudden change completely stunned the British and Indian troops. This did not go according to the script they had imagined;
The tank groups they had placed high hopes on were blown up by the Japanese one by one, and the tank division did not play its due role at all.
At this time, the artillery group that the Japanese had hidden for a long time opened fire, hitting the infantry division following with a rain of shells. The explosion knocked the John Bull infantrymen off their feet and caused heavy casualties.
John Bull's infantry, except for the officers who are John Bull soldiers, the soldiers are all red-headed Asan. When did they receive such fierce artillery fire?
After only a few rounds of artillery fire, a division of infantry began to rout;
The 18th Division launched a charge in time. A regiment of Japanese soldiers led tens of thousands of puppet troops and charged towards the British and Indian troops across the mountains and plains. There were shouts of killing everywhere.
These puppet troops were quite brave when fighting against the odds. Under the leadership of a regiment of masters and Japanese soldiers, they attacked the defeated British and Indian troops in overwhelming numbers. From a distance, they were still quite impressive!
"Yo Xi, the British and Indian troops were defeated. The imperial army couldn't defeat the Chinese. How could they defeat you arrogant John Bulls?"
Sakurai's words left Lieutenant General Muta speechless. It was no longer a few years ago, and it seemed not shameful to admit that he could not defeat the Chinese.
