"There are only a few thousand enemies on the coast, and they are weak indigenous Indians. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low. We only need to launch a wave of attacks to be able to land and then crush them. Remember, we need to occupy the port as intact as possible to create the conditions for the landing of our army brothers. Major General Adam, commander of the 3rd Division of the German Marine Corps, said to his regimental commanders and battalion commanders.

"If we can't even beat those indigenous Indians, then we will become a laughing stock, not only for the marines, but for the whole army and even the whole country! So, gentlemen, I need a clean victory to let the indigenous Indians know what kind of enemy they are up against! Major General Adam continued.

"Don't worry, General. We will definitely be able to defeat the indigenous Indians. We can beat them very easily! I promise! Said the regimental commander in charge of the first wave of the attack.

"In that case, it couldn't be better." Maj. Gen. Adam said.

"General, the fleet has informed that the landing operation can be carried out." A communications officer reported.

"1st Regiment, let's go!" Major General Adam ordered.

"Yes, General!" The commander of the 1st regiment replied.

A few minutes later, several thousand soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, on hundreds of landing craft, rushed to the beach of Alibagh.

"Oh God! The Germans have launched a landing operation, get into position! The Germans must not be allowed to wash up on the beach, or we will be finished. That's what they did in England! A British major shouted. As a veteran of the war on his home turf, and luckily survived, escaping to Canada and then to India, he knew how powerful the Germans were.

The Indian soldiers who survived the shelling crawled into the trenches under the urging of the British officers, knowing full well that they were punching and kicking. They looked at the sea in panic, and the landing craft that were rushing towards the beach were like monsters.

"Bastard, what are you doing in a daze, shoot quickly!" A British officer yelled.

"Bang! Bang! ”

On the positions of the British and Indian troops, the sound of gunfire rang out, and the bullets hit the sea, splashing one after another. However, it did not pose any threat to the German marines at all.

"Machine guns and mortars fire! Destroy the landing craft of the Germans! A British officer ordered.

However, as soon as his order was given, a dense burst of shells fell on their positions.

Several German light cruisers and destroyers drove out to the sea only two or three kilometers from the beach, and really frantically poured shells on the positions of the British and Indian troops. These small and medium-caliber naval artillery shells may not be as powerful as large-caliber naval guns. However, for these ordinary soldiers, there is still a deadly threat.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense shells fell on the beach, and a continuous burst of explosions rang out. The British and Indian soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and firing were torn to pieces in the explosion.

Many British and Indian soldiers were killed without firing a shot.

"Damn, the Germans are supported by naval warships, their artillery fire is so fierce that we can't resist their attack at all!" When a British officer saw this scene, he wanted to cry without tears.

"What to do? No one would have expected that the Germans would land in Alibagh. We've already reported to Mumbai, but it will take at least two or three hours for reinforcements from Mumbai to arrive. And in two or three hours, the Germans had already conquered Alibagh. ”

Indeed, the Germans would have chosen Alibagh as a landing point, completely unexpectedly by the British. As a result, they had no preparation at all, just a few thousand people deployed here.

The Anglo-Indian army now has 25 group armies, but only three group armies have combat effectiveness in front of them. Among them, the 1st Army remained in Delhi, the 2nd Army in Mumbai, and the 3rd Army in Kolkata. The remaining 22 newly formed army groups were deployed elsewhere. Although the British and Indian armies are strong, their combat effectiveness is very bad, and many people have just learned how to shoot. As for whether it can hit the target, it depends on God's will. Other combat qualities are even less pitiful. It is natural to imagine what the consequences of such a force would be if it encountered the most powerful German army in the world.

The interception by the British and Indian forces did not have any impact on the German marines at all. Originally, before washing up on the beach, it should have been the most dangerous. However, in this battle, the Anglo-Indian army did not inflict any decent losses on the German marines.

Soon, the first landing craft washed up on the beach. More than a dozen Marines jumped from above.

The landing craft that washed up on the beach were very dangerous and could most likely become the target of concentrated enemy fire. Therefore, after the marines landed, they had to flee as soon as possible.

Sure enough, they were hit by intensive fire from the Anglo-Indian army. Although the front of the landing craft is equipped with steel plates, it can withstand bullets. But there were no on either side, and they were directly hit in the battle.

Marines who have just landed are often very dangerous. They lay on the beach, bullets whizzing over their heads. If you don't pay attention and look up, you may be hit. Ordinary people simply can't bear that kind of psychological pressure.

As more and more landing craft washed up on the beach, more and more Marines landed. They gradually began a counteroffensive and, with the strong fire support of the naval fleet, broke through the Anglo-Indian defenses.

Under the heavy shelling of the German fleet, the casualties of the Anglo-Indian troops were already very large. After being fiercely attacked by the German marines, it quickly collapsed.

In less than half an hour, the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the German Marines occupied the beach and opened up a safe landing ground. Subsequently, an attack was launched on the city of Alibagh.

Heavy losses and low morale led to the collapse of the Anglo-Indian army stationed in Alibagh. This made it easy for the German Marines to occupy the place. On top of that, the port is almost intact.

Other units of the Marine Corps, which had long been prepared, as well as the elite infantry divisions of the 8th Army of the Army, also began to land. Taking Alibagh is just the first step. To defeat the Anglo-Indian army stationed in Mumbai and take the whole of Mumbai is the victory.
