In the offices of the colonial government in the British Indian colony of Calcutta, clerks were scrambling to destroy various documents. www.biquge.info The speed of the advance of the Tang army cannot be said to be unexpected, because the British have long known that the Tang army will defeat themselves in a very short time, and things are indeed progressing like this.

The British army in Bengal made the Tang army feel like no one, and the British army in Bengal was completely backward in terms of quality, morale, equipment, and tactics, and it was not even advantageous in size, so it was impossible to have any chance of victory.

Britain's main strategy to defend the Indian colonies was to exchange space for time, in order to deal with the Tang army, the British army would try its best to preserve the vitality of the Tang army at the same time, constantly drag down and weaken the Tang army, a certain loss of land is inevitable, and when the Tang army's offensive slows down, then the British army can take advantage of the situation to carry out a certain counterattack.

This idea was originally related to the victory of the British Royal Navy in Europe, because the Royal Navy was saved, then the Indian side could get more supplies and war equipment from Europe, so that it would have a better chance of defeating the Tang Dynasty and defending their fruits. Among the British colonies in India, colonies such as Bengal and Bihar were separated from the South Indian colonies by the Tang Dynasty, and Bengal was too close to the Tang Dynasty to make the British feel particularly dangerous. Therefore, the British actually had the idea of abandoning Bengal and going all out to ensure the security of the South Indian colonies.

Matthew, the secretary of the colonial government, nervously asked his superior, Albert, "Sir, the speed of the Tang invasion is too fast, our troops can't stop them, and now that we have abandoned Calcutta, they will attack Bihar next, and then we will have no place to stay in the northern colonies." ”

Albert is obviously in a very bad mood at the moment, originally as a colonial governor in India, it was a very oily errand, but now in the face of such a bad thing as the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, the disasters caused by the European powers have to be borne by a little minion like Albert.

"There is the above arrangement, I need you to do something now, if we do it well, we can hold the Tang army back and buy enough time for the defense of the South Indian colonies. Of course, you'll also be able to earn rewards. Albert said to Matthew in a seductive tone.

Matthew still valued his own life more at this time, the Tang army had bombarded the town with artillery in the previous attack, causing a lot of casualties, and the Tang people were not afraid to cause any collateral damage, their goal was simply to win.

But he couldn't say anything if he refused, his boss was in a bad mood now, maybe he provoked him, so he directly took out a pistol from his waist and killed himself. In the chaos, who knows what will happen.

Albert took Matthew's silence as a tacit acquiescence, and said, "I know that you have a lot of friendship with the local sects and nine streams, and now is the time to use these." The Dons are about to occupy Calcutta, and we cannot leave them a peaceful city that will allow them to smoothly pursue us and occupy more colonies. You let out the words, saying that the Tang people want to turn the whole of India into a complete Chinese land, and kill all the Bengalis and Indians here, whether they believe in Hinduism or Bengali, they can no longer exist. ”

Matthew immediately understood Albert's plan, this was to stumble on the Tang people, the locals were not familiar with the Tang people, but they had heard of the Tang Dynasty's suppression of the Green Sect. Now it is fabricated that the Tang Dynasty wants to wash India in blood, take away the land of the Indians and kill all the Indians, although the smart people will not have any trust in this kind of rumor that has no credibility, but it is still possible to cause panic among those ignorant lower-class people, as long as they go against the Tang people, or cause any other chaos, the Tang Dynasty will have to send more manpower to sort out the newly occupied land, and it will take a while for the locals to discover the true measures of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, perhaps Britain will regroup and stabilize its position, and it will be able to fight against the Tang Dynasty in South India.

Of course it's a good wish, but it's better than doing nothing.

Matthew immediately went out and found his friends who were the head of the land and conveyed Albert's words to them. The news spread faster than the British could naturally flee for their lives, and soon the Bengalis of Kolkata were immersed in fear. Rumors of the Tang Dynasty's imminent slaughter of the city after the siege began to intensify, and the voices began to spread. Large numbers of Bengalis began to flee the city, but some formed militias to assist the Anglo-Indian army against the Don.

The Don army arrived on the outskirts of Calcutta less than three days later, and in fact most of the British army, which was also a more combat-ready British army, had already withdrawn. The British tried to flee to the South Indian colonies after camouflage, after all, the waters of the Bay of Bengal were also under the control of the Tang Army, and there were still a large number of patrol ships here, and it was still difficult for the British to escape to South India by sea.

In fact, the armies involved in the battle were all Anglo-Indian troops composed of Indians. This time, the British and Indian troops were much tougher than before, and they also obtained weapons that originally belonged to the regular British army. The British are also monkey spirits, monkey spirits, and if they don't fight and then they are captured empty-handed, although they are prisoners of war, they will not be treated like this, this is the experience of the past. Although he will be captured, at least he will not die, and if he confronts the Tang army head-on, he is very likely to die.

Just like the Anglo-Indian army that was fooled by the British.

The British and Indian armies believed that this was a life-and-death battle, and the Tang people were rushing to exterminate them, so some Indians felt that they had to fight to the death with the Tang people. During the fighting, even a large number of ordinary militiamen, who did not have guns and ammunition, were involved. Because they were afraid that they would be used as slaves by the Tang people in the future, or killed directly. At least the revolt seems to have a way out.

However, when the Datang attack aircraft appeared on the stage and dropped bombs on the Anglo-Indian army, which could be said to be comically deployed, the Anglo-Indian army was already in disarray. The 73rd Division of the Tang Army, which had fought all the way from Donghui and had achieved countless combat exploits, also launched an attack on the British and Indian troops under the cover of artillery fire in a timely manner, and smashed the British and Indian troops several times their own to pieces.

However, after entering Calcutta, the Tang army still encountered some trouble. Although the locals did not dare to rush into the military personnel, they were still not friendly to the administrative personnel who took over from the Tang Dynasty when they entered the city, and there were many clashes, which also caused bloodshed. These materials were sorted out by some British people with ulterior motives and became "evidence" of the genocide and massacre of the Tang Dynasty in India. (To be continued.) )
