240. The Battle of East Bengal 29
The voice of the "Dididi" radio station was extremely harsh at this moment.
In the Lambble headquarters, the champagne prepared by some generals of the coalition army had not yet been drunk, but everyone was no longer angry.
The upheaval of the situation in a short period of time makes this celebration extremely ironic.
At this moment, coalition planes were taken down from the sky, and countless pilots were smashed to pieces under the attack of Chinese fighters.
In the naval battle of Chittagong, the navy tried its best, but the result was disastrous, and the capital ships were lost.
In the East Bengal defense line, the Chinese side seems to have come with "reinforcements", the defense line is becoming more and more stable, the firepower is getting stronger and stronger, and artillery is constantly being put into battle, and the British artillery fire has been almost suppressed.
If it is unable to shake China's East Bengal defense line, then the nearly one million troops of the Xiafei Burma Front will become prisoners of the Chinese Defense Forces, otherwise they will starve to death in the encirclement.
The Air Force is finished.
The Navy is finished.
The ground army can't move.
There is nothing they can do about it.
There was a dead silence in the command, and a series of messages indicated that the "Battle of East Bengal" they had launched had failed.
"Retreat! Immediately order the troops of the Olivei organization to retreat! ”
Admiral Dannat suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted with all his might. He felt more and more that something was wrong, and he wondered why the Chinese were able to quickly increase their artillery fire on the East Bengal defensive line, and it was not possible to transport a large number of artillery pieces to the front line from the destroyed roads in Assam, and MI6 intelligence also showed it. The Chinese side did not send a large amount of artillery in that direction. But if the Chinese side has long thought of other ways to transport a large number of artillery to the front line, why didn't it use it in the first place?
This battle is most likely a trap deliberately set by the Chinese side. What is the purpose of this trap? Xia Fei Burmese Front? That's impossible. Because the Xiafei Burmese Front is already surrounded by the Chinese side, this can only be regarded as a bait.
What is China's purpose? The air force of the coalition? It should be, the Air Force is finished.
The navy of the coalition? Probably, the main naval forces of the coalition are finished.
What else? It is the elite troops of Britain's homeland. Yes, it must be.
Admiral Dannatt was almost like a fire on his ass, and he was eager to quickly withdraw more than 200,000 British troops from the four corps in East Bengal in the next second.
Olivee was also anxious to supervise the war, and although the British army had sent some troops to fight, the elite main force had never moved. The Chinese artillery fire is getting heavier and heavier. It makes the battle on the front line very difficult.
"Bastard, the enemy is exhausted from continuous fighting, can't he take a small position?"
Olivee lashed out at the officers of the attacking troops, and he was furious with himself. A staff officer rushed in with a telegram and shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander. Commander 100,000 urgent telegrams! ”
Olivee took the telegram and read: "Retreat immediately!" Retreat in the shortest possible time! Destroy everything you can't take with you on the spot! Dannatt. "See this telegram. His face changed on the spot. As far as he knew, Admiral Dannatt had always commanded operations calmly and with a gentleman's temperament. But this telegram threw a breath of anger and deplention, and he could not be nervous.
Olife didn't even think about it, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Order the troops, retreat immediately!" Evacuate the Brahmaputra River! ”
This order was issued, which made all the departments of the British army a little baffled, but under the military order, all the troops were immediately ready to retreat, after all, no one likes war, and the world war in Europe has made the British extremely disgusted with war. Don't know why though? But still, the British, French, and British troops cheered.
Olife could not understand Dannat's order, and after giving the order, he quickly got into a military vehicle and drove as fast as he could west, soon crossing the bridge over the Brahmaputra River.
Sitting in the car and looking around irritably, he found that something was wrong with the water on the river, and it was actually covered with a thick layer of oil. There are dozens of pontoon bridges on the Brahmaputra River, all of which are made of wood, intercepted on the water, and thick oil pollution is concentrated on the edge of the pontoon bridge, and some oil leaks downstream, and it is precisely because of this leakage that a large amount of oil pollution has accumulated in the upstream area of each pontoon bridge, and even the bridge deck has been contaminated with a lot.
"Who is such a loser?" Olife couldn't help but say to himself, so much oil leakage, the loss is also huge.
Suddenly, there was the sound of an airplane's motor in the sky, which surprised Olife, and when he looked up, he saw a Chinese fleet, with a large number of fighters and bombers, and as soon as he looked up, he saw two Chinese J-2 Swallow fighters diving down at a high speed almost vertically towards the bridge where he was.
"Hurry up!" Olife was shocked and urged the driver like crazy. The driver was obviously full of fear, desperately pressing the accelerator to the maximum, and the car rushed frantically towards the opposite bank.
Olivee only felt a violent explosion behind him, and the huge shock wave almost lifted the car away, and at the same time he saw the Chinese fighter plane almost pass over the head of their car and quickly soar into the sky.
The terrible air defense sirens sounded on both sides of the river, and the anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns arranged on both banks all opened fire frantically.
However, the Chinese side did not dive bombing immediately afterwards, but bombers carried out horizontal bombing at high altitudes, and the bombs continued to fall on the water, and the explosions spilled out pieces of flames, which caused layers of oil pollution on the river, and in a short period of time the entire river turned into a sea of fire, and the wooden pontoon bridges became a large torch that soared into the sky
"Arson!" As soon as Olive's car crossed the bridge, he saw this scene and held back three words in his mouth. The Chinese bombers dropped not bombs, but arson, a type of incendiary bomb.
He suddenly remembered the Chinese art of war, which was fire attack. It's just that this fire attack is unexpected, because no one thought that the fire of the fire attack was burning on water. At this point, he knew with his toes that the oil on the river should have been deliberately spilled by the Chinese for this fire attack.
The fire attack was not intended to kill the enemy, and it is clear that the Chinese used this fire to block the retreat of his main British forces. If it weren't for the fact that he was puzzled by this strange order and wanted to go to the headquarters as soon as possible to ask Admiral Dannatt for clarification, he was afraid that he would also be left on the other side.
The Brahmaputra River was burning with a huge fire, and it was a real sea of fire.
This situation naturally alarmed Dannatt, Marshall, Hagrid and the generals of various countries in the Rumbull headquarters, and the flames were raging and the heat wave was rolling, but they felt a bone-chilling cold.
Admiral Dannatt spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and at this point, he understood everything, but the result was so desperate.
What Chinese are not familiar with hydrology, traffic accidents lead to damage to tank ships, and a large amount of oil is destroyed? That's a conspiracy. This conspiracy is for this fire attack. Oil is lighter than water and floats on the water. The Chinese want to make this oil achieve the effect of fire attack, but it will take time for the oil to flow to this area. In order to avoid being discovered by the coalition forces, the accident was deliberately created, and he Dannatt was deceived like an idiot, and he also ridiculed the poor level of Chinese shipping.
What is the purpose of the Chinese spending such a huge price to create this fire? That is to block the retreat of the main force of his British army and the colonial army, and to wipe out all of their living forces.
The Battle of East Bengal, which he Dannat had so painstakingly planned, was a joke in itself, and was thoroughly exploited by the Chinese. He vainly thought that he was eloquent, not only thinking about rescuing the Burmese Front army of Xia Fei, but also secretly calculating the US Navy, but the main force of the US Navy was indeed finished, and the Chinese laughed unceremoniously, not only that, but even the air force of the coalition forces was annihilated, and even the main force of the British army and the six or seven hundred thousand Indian and Arab colonial legions that he desperately assembled on the Chinese side had to eat to the bottom.
He thought that he would put the main force of the British army last, attacking and retreating, but this fire completely shattered his hopes.
He believed that such a large-scale, large-scale strategic plan must have come from Li Bufan, the Chinese military leader, who was as terrifying, even terrifying, as the rumored magician in the West, like an omniscient and omnipotent devil, like a nightmare that made people desperate.
He finally understood why Seishiro Itagaki committed suicide when he could have been saved. At this moment, he really felt the powerlessness and despair in Itagaki Seishiro's heart at that time, facing an invincible enemy like Li Bufan, like a god and demon, it was a torture to live in the world. He actually wanted to "pull out his teeth" with all his might, but such an ending made him feel embarrassed, he seemed to feel that the whole world was covered with sarcastic voices, and this invisible ridicule drowned him and pulled him to hell.
The skyrocketing fire was the signal for a general attack.
A tube of strategic rocket artillery was sprayed, and the sky-high flames almost stained half of the sky red. These rockets do not have rocket artillery vehicles, the launch tubes are airlifted, and the rockets are also airlifted and can be mounted on the ground and fired.
A large number of cannons, howitzers, and mortars were in full swing, covered by dense firepower, and countless British and colonial legions wailed and collapsed in the artillery fire
The roaring armoured clusters were followed by a fierce charge from countless recuperated Wehrmacht soldiers, shouts of killing and shrill clarions of charge that filled the air.
Countless retreating British troops wailed in despair in the face of the retreat that had turned into a sea of fire, although the Chinese Wehrmacht had not yet killed, but there had been a Chinese aircraft group in the sky that covered the sky, and under the carpet bombing, countless British flesh and blood flew sideways
Finally, the white flag was raised, and more and more white flags were raised (to be continued......
