"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Naval guns of the German Navy, heavy shelling. The artillery of the German Army was also added to it. These shells fell from the sky and caused heavy casualties to the attacking British and Indian troops.

It can be said that this is definitely the most intense shelling that these British and Indian troops have experienced since their birth to the present. To many, this is even like hell.

"O Lord Shiva! Is the German difficulty devil? Otherwise, how could they have a powerful attack like the devil. How could we have beaten the devilish Germans! ”

"Run away, if we don't run away, we'll be dead."

Those Indian soldiers, forgetting their mission and responsibility, ran away. At this time, finding a way to save your life is the most important thing.

The Anglo-Indian attack could not even penetrate the German artillery blockade, let alone pose a threat to the German defensive line. Even if they managed to break through the German artillery blockade, they were still waiting for them with dense fire from the German positions.

This caused the British to pay a heavy price of casualties, but they were still unable to break through the German defenses. In the case of not seeing victory and just sending them to death, even the morale of elite troops will be devastated. Not to mention these Anglo-Indian troops with low combat effectiveness and weak will to fight.

"General, this is already our fifth defeat. Our army group alone suffered more than 50,000 casualties. It's only been less than half a day, and if it continues like this, our entire group army will collapse. Lieutenant General Paul, commander of the 11th Anglo-Indian Army, complained.

Although, the 11th Army was a newly formed unit, and its combat effectiveness was already bad. But such a big loss still made him very distressed.

"General Paul, there is no way around it. The firepower of the Germans is too strong, and I know that your losses are large. But now we have no other way than to keep going. Don't worry, the losses of your troops, I will ask His Excellency the Commander to replenish them for you as soon as possible. We are now fighting in India, which has the least shortage of soldiers. Admiral Howard said.

Lieutenant General Paul didn't say anything more, what he feared was that his troops would be crippled, so that he would become a bare-bones commander. To be able to replenish, then there is nothing. As Admiral Howard said, India has no shortage of people and soldiers, and no matter how much it loses, it can be replenished.

"Now it's dark, let's rest and continue the attack tomorrow. Although the Germans had a lot of firepower, they needed to consume a lot of ammunition. Their supplies have to come all the way from Germany, and once they run out of supplies, then we win! Admiral Howard said.

It's just that the British generals present all scoffed. Since the Germans launched the war in India, how could they not even guarantee the attrition of their troops? With Germany's industrial strength and naval transportation capabilities, even if war breaks out in any corner of the world, they will be able to guarantee the supply of the German army!

The headquarters of the German 8th Army had already moved from the transport ships of the Navy to the beach. Although, this is a bit dangerous. However, Admiral Ludendorff did not care. He always believed that it was impossible for the British and Indian troops to break through the German blockade. And the artillery of the British and Indian troops, under the threat of German naval guns, could not hit the beach. So, Admiral Ludendorff is actually very safe.

"General, the Anglo-Indian offensive has stopped." The division commander of a major general reported to Admiral Ludendorff.

"Humph! Idiot. Are they deliberately giving our troops time? When our main forces come ashore, they will have no chance. Since the enemy himself wants to give us time, then thank them so much. Let the troops that have not yet disembarked speed up and strive to disembark before dawn tomorrow. When the time comes, it's time for us to strike back. Admiral Ludendorff ordered.

"Yes, General."

The Anglo-Indian army stopped the attack, just giving the Germans more time to calmly disembark.

With the speed at which the Germans disembarked, if those heavy weapons were not taken into account, it would not be too much of a problem to disembark all the units of the 8th Army in an afternoon and an evening.

That night, the docks in Alibagh were brightly lit. Groups of German soldiers, disembarking from the transports, completing the formation on the pier, were led by the officers to the resting place. They had to recharge their energy so that they could defeat the Anglo-Indian army and win the battle in the next battle.

Minutes and seconds passed. More and more German troops successfully landed ashore, which made the disadvantage of the German army in this battle gradually disappear.

After the sun rose the next day, the Anglo-Indian offensive began again. It's just that their attack is still no different from sending them to death.

In the face of the powerful firepower of the Germans, their charges were in vain. Aside from the corpses left behind and the soldiers who had been frightened, there was hardly anything else to achieve.

"General, can we attack?" The generals of the German 8th Army asked for battle.

"Wait a minute, since the British want to send those Indian natives to death, then don't stop them. Let as many people die as you can. In this way, we will be able to defeat them with minimal effort! Admiral Ludendorff said.

"Yes, General."

At noon, the Anglo-Indian army did not continue the offensive, perhaps because of heavy losses. And this is undoubtedly the arrival of the fighter plane that Admiral Ludendorff has been waiting for.

Admiral Ludendorff immediately gave the order to attack, and the ten infantry divisions of the 8th Army, divided into two lines, launched an attack on the British and Indian troops.

Although, at this time, the strength of the German 8th Army was still far inferior to that of the British and Indian armies. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it was far superior to the Anglo-Indian army. This is especially true when the morale of the Anglo-Indian army has fallen to its lowest point.

In the face of the German counterattack, the British and Indian troops were caught off guard and could not resist at all.

This made the German counterattack very successful.

A large number of Anglo-Indian troops began to flee, throwing away their weapons and fleeing to Bombay.

Even Admiral Howard, the commander of the 2nd Anglo-Indian Army, fled, and the outcome of this battle was naturally doomed.

A large number of Indian soldiers who were being chased had no choice but to raise their hands and surrender to the Germans when they had no way to escape.
