Chapter 143: Fierce Battle

Major General Jason, commander of the Fifth Mountain Division of the British Army, is an out-and-out Qing Guotong. He was in the Qing Dynasty from 1871 until 1883, when the Sino-French War began, and later he became the commander of the British Fifth Mountain Division, stationed in Kashmir.

The army stationed him here not to defend it, but to lead a large army to invade the Qing Dynasty at the right time, to erase Xinjiang and Tibet from the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and to make them a piece of the puzzle on the map of the British Empire.

The right time is not far off, as long as Tsarist Russia begins to invade the three eastern provinces, that is the time for him to make Tibet and Xinjiang a piece of the puzzle of the empire, but he never imagined that there would be a disturbance at this time.

After this army entered Xinjiang, he paid attention, and Jason was not surprised in the slightest by what they were doing in Xinjiang, because the British also did these things a lot, and they slaughtered many more natives than this little people here.

What Jason didn't expect was that this group of Qing people was simply so bold and lawless that they dared to pull out the tiger's beard.

At that time, tens of thousands of troops of Zeng Guofan did not dare to attack the hundreds of British troops who crossed the border to cause trouble, and hundreds of British troops were fearless in the face of tens of thousands of Qing troops, and only after killing dozens of Qing soldiers did they swagger back to Kashmir.

Now this group of thousands of Qing troops dares to take the initiative to cross the line, which is simply the rhythm of death. Although it is rumored how powerful and powerful this Qing army is, Jason does not agree. When he first came to the Qing Kingdom, he heard all kinds of legends of the Qing army, what martial arts are strong, what runes and divine waters, what invulnerability, etc., but under the guns of the emperor's ** team, all this has become a ridiculous joke - cannon fodder!

On July 12, Jason received information that about 8,000 Qing troops (including logistics soldiers) had entered the city of Srinagar, and Leonard's regiment and three Indian regiments had been besieged by the Qing army in the center of the city and were in urgent need of rescue. It doesn't matter how many Indian pigs die, but if Leonard's regiment is annihilated, then his own division commander will not be able to escape the blame.

Jason almost went out of his nest, and his mountain division of 7,000 men plus three divisions of the Indian puppet army came to Srinagar City early in the morning of the 13th.

Of course, the battle was launched by the Indian puppet army first, and their group of pigs was the decision to do cannon fodder. The Indian puppet army still uses the old Enfield single-shot rifles, and although there are many people, the firepower is very low.

In the face of the attack of tens of thousands of troops, Chen Ping also had to be cautious, this was the biggest battle he had ever faced, and he wanted to let his subordinates fight bloodily and hone their blood, but now it seems that the game is a bit big.

Srinagar City is not small, and the defensive pressure of its own 4,000 troops is still relatively large, but fortunately, it has enough ammunition, and there is a lot of food in the city that is not afraid of being besieged, and there is also an advantage that the house structure here is to be strongly fortified into a very strong artillery bombardment, and the British mountain division is equipped with 70mm rapid-fire guns, and their gunpowder is not of good quality, and the power is not as great as their own 60mm mortar shells.

"The Captain's communications team successfully contacted the Captain with the radio here, and the Captain conveyed to us the Commander-in-Chief's order, attack! Offensive! Offensive! Fight the majesty of our army! At the same time, the captain told us to hold on to the city of Srinagar, and the Fifth Brigade came to reinforcements as quickly as possible. The head of the communications team came running out of breath to report.

With the commander-in-chief's offensive order, Chen Ping had no worries, and besides, his brigade was trained according to the strictest standards of special operations, and his brigade of 5,000 people did not need reinforcements at all. I believe that Wu Xiuping, who is on the periphery, has long known the situation here, and his lack of news is the best news, which shows that he is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to give the British army the most fatal blow.

Chen Ping, who had thought clearly, no longer hesitated, he wanted to annihilate them before the reinforcements of the Fifth Brigade arrived, and it would take at least half a month or even more than 20 days for the Fifth Brigade to arrive from Sichuan, as long as he planned properly, he had time to destroy the British Fifth Mountain Division and tens of thousands of useless Indian puppet troops alone.

Chen Ping informed the whole brigade of the commander-in-chief's order, and with the commander-in-chief's order to attack, everyone was greatly encouraged. Li Yi's orders are more effective than doping, the special operations corps has six brigades, this is the first time that the commander-in-chief has paid attention to the battle, and it is better than anything else to get the commander-in-chief's attention, and every captain and every member of the team is devoting themselves to this battle with the greatest ability.

"We don't want reinforcements!" This is the slogan unanimously shouted by Chen Ping's brigade.

"Annihilation! Destroy! All enemies who dare to offend! Chen Ping ended the meeting after shouting this sentence, and the four squadron leaders gave free play to their tactical level, and whoever did well stayed and who did not do well was dismissed. He was only responsible for coordinating with each other, and he had participated in the battle, and the excitement was there, and this time Chen Ping found a strong temple as his headquarters, and he hid in a safe place and waited for the final victory.

Chu Zhenghe, the leader of the first squadron, took the initiative to ask Ying to snipe the Indian puppet army head-on, and Huang Yong, who was half-eared, took on the task of defending the city gate with the advantage of experience. Huang Yong knew in his heart that the city wall here could not collapse at all, the disadvantage was that there was no hiding point, and when the shells hit the city gate, they could not dodge the shrapnel shot.

The whole brigade listened to his advice and surrounded the firing points with sacks at the city walls. The power of the shelling is so small that you don't have to worry unless you're unlucky enough to hit your firing point. The walls were also wide, at least more than two meters, and did not affect the movement of soldiers on the walls.

The arrogant Jason did not use artillery bombardment, but let the Indian puppet army charge directly towards the city gate with the tactics of crowds, and there were dense Indian puppet troops everywhere, running and shouting, while following the city wall and shooting fiercely.

This seemingly terrifying tactic was not of much use, and the 20 heavy machine guns of the 1st Squadron launched a frenzied shooting, which was simply a repetition of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, and on July 1, 1916, the British army was shot and killed 60,000 people by the German army's 200 Maxim MG08 heavy machine guns.

At this time, the Indian puppet army was too far worse than the British army at that time, and the heavy machine guns in the hands of a large group were made of plastic chains, which were much better than canvas, and the overall performance was not much worse than that of the Makqin MG08.

"Hidden! Take cover! "The Indian puppet officers had no choice but to shout and hide, but in front of the empty city gate, where did the charge of thousands of people go to hide? Under the frantic strafing of heavy machine guns, the Indian puppet army was like a broken tomato, spraying bright red blood everywhere, terrifying beyond the scene of purgatory in hell.
