"General, the 71st Infantry Division and the 72nd Infantry Division have been holding out for five days. They inflicted heavy casualties on the Anglo-Indian army. However, most of their ammunition has been consumed, and if they hold out for another three days at most, they may have to break through and retreat. Otherwise, they will be surrounded and annihilated by the British and Indian troops because they run out of ammunition! Lieutenant General Rundstedt reported.

Lieutenant General Ludendorff nodded: "I see!" ”

A large part of the reason for the strength of the German army was the fact that the German army was so powerful. This left the enemy with no other recourse in the face of the German firepower.

However, the firepower also made the German troops very depleted. There is also a lot of pressure on logistical supplies. Without ammunition, the weapons in the hands of the Germans were no different from burning sticks. Once in hand-to-hand combat, although the stronger German soldiers clearly had an advantage over the thin Indian soldiers, the so-called two fists were hard to beat the four hands. At that time, the fate of the German army will be very miserable.

Since the last world war, the Germans have not had an infantry division be wiped out in formation. If, on the battlefield in India, the Germans lost two infantry divisions at once, it would definitely be a record. Of course, is a bad record. Even if Admiral Ludendorff won Qin Tian's trust, he would definitely not be able to afford this responsibility.

So, Lieutenant General Ludendorff had no other choice.

"Send a telegram to the 8th Panzer Division! Two days later, an offensive was launched. A direct attack on the main forces of the British. The strength of the British army in India is not much, only more than 200,000. Now they are all concentrated in the area north of Ajmer. I need the 8th Panzer Division to crush them. The 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, accompanied by the 8th Panzer Division. After defeating the British army in India, maximize the results of the battle as much as possible and defeat the British and Indian army! Admiral Ludendorff ordered.

If the 71st and 72nd Infantry Divisions on the front line still had enough ammunition, he hoped to be able to attack as late as possible. In this way, the Anglo-Indian army could pay a greater price in the face of the strong German defensive line. Unfortunately, the situation did not allow it.

"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Rundstedt immediately went to give the order.

On the morning of April 3, the German 8th Panzer Division, the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, launched an offensive. In order for the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division to keep up with the advance of the 8th Panzer Division, Admiral Ludendorff deliberately mobilized a large number of trucks for their use. The speed of the wheels of a car is naturally much faster than that of a person's legs.

Although the British troops in India were fifty kilometers away, three hours later, the German 8th Panzer Division launched an attack on them. At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.

The sudden attack of the German army caught the British troops in India off guard. Even so, these units composed of British people were far superior in combat effectiveness to the Anglo-Indian army. However, in the face of a torrent of steel composed of more than 200 tanks, there was only one thing these British could do, and that was to flee immediately.

Although, the British government in exile in Canada has begun to work with the Americans to develop new tanks. Unfortunately, it has not yet been developed. Therefore, the British army in India could not use those advanced tanks. They have dealt with tanks by attacking with anti-tank weapons or with cluster grenades and explosives.

Such tactics are no different from those in the last world war.

In the face of the German army's torrent of steel, such tactics were difficult to succeed.

Under the crushing of the German tank tracks, these British performed not much better than the Indians.

"Oh God! And what about anti-tank guns? Stop the tanks of the Germans! Otherwise, our positions will collapse! A brigadier general shouted.

However, none of the officers and soldiers under his command listened to him at all. In the face of the German tanks, they believed that the only chance to survive was to flee immediately. If you stay and fight, you will only die.

After the fall of the homeland, although many Britons were determined to revive the British Empire. However, it is undeniable that their morale has plummeted. In their minds, a fear of the Germans had already developed. When facing the Germans, they did not have the courage to continue fighting. Although, their fighting qualities and the like, perhaps, are much better than those of the Indians. But their fighting spirit is not much different from that of Indians.

"Crunch, crunch!"

The tracks of the tanks crushed the positions of the British troops in India. The 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, which accompanied the 8th Armored Division, with the assistance of the 8th Armored Division, broke through the defensive line of the British troops stationed in India, and began to cooperate with the armored forces to clear the remaining enemy on the position, and further expand the results of the battle.

The British troops in India were simply unable to resist the German attack, and a large number of British soldiers even surrendered with their hands raised. Many people fled to India from the British mainland. Although they were very combative, they had developed a fear of the Germans. In such a situation, their performance is also very poor.

After the collapse of the British army in India, it had a great impact on the British and Indian army. Before the Germans could attack, they retreated on their own initiative.

Moreover, it was not the generals of the British army who gave the order to retreat, nor did William? Order of Lord Nicholson. The Indian soldiers, spontaneously, retreated. This was not for any other reason, but because they were already frightened by the Germans. So, it was directly retreated.

Several Anglo-Indian army groups, which were besieging Ajmer, had already suffered heavy losses. After learning that the British troops in India were defeated by the Germans. At the same time, after several group armies had also collapsed in a few days, they did not have the courage to continue fighting. If the Germans had encircled them, wouldn't they have died?

Hardly any other orders were given, and several of the Anglo-Indian army groups besieging Ajmer also fled.

When William? Lord Nicholson was equally stunned when he learned that the tide of battle had changed in this way, and he couldn't believe it at all.

Before the decisive battle began, he was full of confidence in this battle. You know, he had amassed an army of 1.8 million, including 200,000 elite troops composed of British. However, what he didn't expect was that the first to collapse was actually the British army in India, which he had high hopes for. Obviously, in this decisive battle, they lost again.
