759th Invasion of India IV Is there still a monthly pass?
A motorboat with the flag of the general of the army, under the control of Chinese sailors wearing white sailors' uniforms, sailed to the pier like a big construction site on Sagar Island. On the tenth day of the Bay of Bengal landing operation, Senior General Peng Dhuai, who had just assumed the post of commander of the East India Front of the Chinese National Defense Forces, finally arrived on the Indian island of Sagar from Yangon, Burma. This East India Front is actually the original Burmese Front, but it is just a new signboard, but Peng Dhuai still decided to move his headquarters from Yangon, Burma, to Sagar Island in East India, in order to make himself the commander-in-chief of the East India Front appear more worthy of the name - in fact, there is no obvious difference between commanding in Yangon and commanding on Sagar Island, except that he prefers to be close to the front line.
The motorboat approached the dock, and Peng Dhuai's staff began to talk excitedly, they were all from the Chinese Expeditionary Force system, and they were driven out of India by the Indian Red Army, so how could they not feel and be excited about their comeback now? Only General Peng was still sitting on the sofa chair in the cabin of the motorboat, frowning and not knowing what to think again? It was not only the generals and colonels of the Chinese National Defense Forces who were greeted on the pier, but also the officers of the Allah Army wearing Turkish cylinder hats. By the way, the Allah army now has a more formal name, the Liberation Army of the Republic of the East Indies!
Moreover, as soon as this group of former terrorists from Central Asia set foot on Indian soil, they could not wait to form their own state, the Republic of the East Indies, and they also regarded themselves as the saviors and protectors of the northeastern Indian Muslin, and glorified their invasion of India as a jihad to liberate the Indian Muslims. The leader of this gang of terrorists, Mohammed. Yusuf now stood on the dock in his military uniform. He was in his forties today, with a dark, dense beard that was almost a foot long. Although he left a great reputation when he was active in Central Asia and Afghanistan, he bowed his head deeply in front of General Peng. Like a schoolboy who made a mistake.
Peng Dhuai just glanced at him lightly. General Peng didn't know much about this Yusuf, only that his Russian name was Shamil. Salmanovich. Yusupov, the name in Arabic and Uzbek is Muhammad. Yusuf. Mangit. The self-proclaimed descendants of the Mangit dynasty of the Bukhara Khanate, but most of them are fakes. Because the Mangit dynasty was wiped out by the Soviet Red Army in 1920, and the Bukhara Khanate was subsequently incorporated into the Soviet Union, most of the members of the Mangit dynasty were executed by the Soviet Red Army, and those who escaped were also followed by the last emir of the Mangit dynasty, Muhammad. Alim went into exile in Afghanistan. On the territory of the USSR there were simply no descendants of the Mangit dynasty who could survive. And before Allah ruled Afghanistan. This Yusuf also never claimed to be a descendant of the Mangit dynasty. It was only after Allah's first invasion of Afghanistan that he "recognized" Emir Alim and became a member of the Mangit family.
"Wen Zhao. It's been a great time for you! Peng Dhuai ignored Yusuf, because he knew that this man's hands would soon be stained with the blood of the Indian people, and Chang Ruiqing had brought him and his henchmen to the East Indies for the purpose of "doing dirty work". Peng Dhuai strode onto the dock and walked in front of Lieutenant General Pan Wenzhao. Hands on his shoulders: "The Bay of Bengal landing battle organization was very successful. The Prime Minister has issued a commendation order! By the way, how is the situation at the front now? What is the morale of the troops? Did you find the main forces of the Indian Red Army near Calcutta? ”
Pan Wenzhao smiled and saluted: "Shi Gong, the landing operation in the Bay of Bengal is not worth mentioning at all, the Indians have not deployed heavy troops here, and they have not found any trace of the main force of the Indian army for a week and a half, and the only numbers identified at present are the 135th Division, 136th Division, 137th Division of the Indian Red Army and the 3rd Division of the Indian Red Navy Coastal Defense. The reconnaissance planes of the air force found traces of the movement of some large forces near the city of Calcutta, but these forces showed no sign of moving southward, and it seemed that Blyukhel was preparing to fight us in Calcutta...... Shi Gong. The headquarters is ready, right inside the city of Sagar. Please come with me. ”
Peng Dhuai shook hands with the senior officers who had come to the dock to greet him, and finally, accompanied by the rest of the brigade, got into a four-wheel-drive military off-road vehicle and drove to the small town outside the port of Sagar. Under the joint construction of the naval and army engineering units, the entire Sagar port wharf has become an out-and-out large construction site, but the function of the wharf is still retained, a large number of materials are continuously unloaded from the freighter and stacked on the open space outside the Sagar wharf, ammunition, grain, horse material, equipment, etc. are piled up as high as a mountain, all covered with rainproof tarpaulin, and there are special guards to take care of them. There are also countless short and thin Indian civilians under the supervision of the East Indian Liberation Army wearing cylindrical hats, pushing wheelbarrows to the front line to transfer supplies, and the slightest slack, those fierce East Indian Liberation Army will be greeted with the butt of a gun or a leather whip!
"What's going on!" Peng Dhuai turned his head to look at Pan Wenzhao. The military discipline of the Wehrmacht is strict, and even if you go abroad to fight, you will not abuse the local people! Of course, this was Peng Dhuai's cognition, and he did not know what the Wehrmacht was doing in Siberia and Central Asia.
"These Indians are all volunteering to work for us," Pan Wenzhao explained with a frown: "When the Indian GCD retreated, they took away all the grain stocks and destroyed the rice that did not grow in the fields, so the Indian people in this area are very short of food...... Only by working for us or joining the East Indian Liberation Army can we get enough food to eat. ”
Either starve to death or surrender, it's really reactionary enough! Peng Dhuai snorted lightly and kept silent. At this time, the car had already driven into the city of Sagar, and suddenly a melodious chanting sound came from somewhere. He turned his head to look and saw that in a clearing, thousands of Indian assans had gathered, prostrating to the west, and the sound of chanting came from their mouths.
"Shi Gong, these are all Minslin, praying." Pan Wenzhao said: "Allah's path is also theocraticism, and they also force Indians here to believe in Yslanism. Those who are religious can also get food...... However, before the victory of the Indian Revolution, this area was a mixed area of Hindus and Muslin, and there were many people who believed in Y Slanism, and the Indo-G occupation here did not last long. Although the Hyslanism was strictly banned, it was too late to purge the traditional forces of the Yrslan. So now that Allah has arrived, many people have taken refuge, and many of the local Muslan religious leaders who fled before the Indian Red Army have now returned to their homeland, and most of them have joined Allah. ”
"Aren't they from the M's Coalition? How did they all join Allah? Peng Dhuai wondered. He had been in Kolkata for a long time before, and he knew that the leaders of the MSLs here were all members of the MSLIN Alliance.
"Allah promised to help them recover the land confiscated by the Indians, but only from non-Muslin. If their land is occupied by the Musling peasants. Allah would have confiscated the land of other non-M'slin peasants to compensate them. ”
"It's forcing people to believe in their Yaslan." Peng Dhuai said coldly: "The prime minister is also true, India's GCD is also GCD in the end, and the Allah Party is ......."
Pan Wenzhao smiled bitterly: "The prime minister doesn't want to do this either." Who made the Indian G have to go against us? ”
Peng Dhuai shook his head and did not continue the topic, he couldn't manage the civil affairs of the East Indies and didn't have the heart to meddle in things. The top priority for him is the decisive battle with the Northeast Front of the Indian Red Army, and now Allah is raising the banner of the Republic of the East Indies under the nose of Blyukher! Even if Blyukhel could calm down. Lu Yi shouldn't be able to hold his breath, right? If the main forces of the Indian Army's Northeast Front can be attracted to the coast of the Bay of Bengal for a decisive battle. This Bangladesh operation is half the battle......
……
At this time, in the war room of the Indian Northeast Front Command in Fort William, Calcutta, the atmosphere was already tense to the extreme, as if a little spark could ignite a raging fire. The landing of the Chinese army on the coast of the Bay of Bengal did not surprise everyone, but as soon as they came ashore, they made an act of the Republic of the East Indies, which surprised everyone. The Indian state of Bengal has always been a Musling settlement, and before the British colony took control of Bengal, it was ruled by princely kings of the Sylanist religion. So Yeslamism is not without a little foundation in Bengal! Due to the relatively short period of time that the Indo-G. ruled Bengal, the foundation of the Hind-Rans here is even deeper than that of the Indo-G. If this Allah party is allowed to continue like this. Maybe we can really unite the MSLIN forces in Bangladesh, and then the home field advantage of India's GCD will not exist!
Comrade Ruyi after learning that Allah is greening the Bengal region. Immediately sensing the severity of the situation, an urgent telegram was sent from Delhi, demanding that the Indian Northeast Front take immediate action to eliminate the invaders who had invaded India! But everyone knows that Blyukhel's plan is still to lure the enemy deeper, except for Kolkata, the capital of Bangladesh, and Dhaka, an important town in eastern Bangladesh, which will leave heavy troops to defend, the rest of the small and medium-sized towns are among the abandonment, and there is no plan to drive Chinese imperialism into the sea at all, and he wants to fight a war of attrition with the Chinese rather than a quick decisive battle! At this time, all eyes were on Blyukhel, waiting for his decision.
And Blyukhel himself was in a dilemma at this time, staying in the war room, smoking cigarette after cigarette, thinking hard about whether to fight back immediately, or continue to wait? The Chinese are now grabbing territory along the Bay of Bengal, with their fleet behind them, and overwhelming air superiority...... However, Moscow has been slow to agree to the transfer of fighter aviation brigades to India. Pavlov's telegram said that the situation in the western and Middle East theaters of the Soviet Union was also very grim! In particular, the German forces in the western theater of the Soviet Union adopted the tactics of step-by-step, consolidating the occupied areas while advancing eastward. The Germans, apparently having gained a lot of experience in administering Poland and East Prussia, knew how to marry the Belarusian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian peoples, who had been led by the GCD, were "divided into fields", that is, the land that had belonged to collective farms was distributed to the peasants of Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine...... Well, for these peasants, there is no essential difference between being a submissive citizen of the Soviet Union (Russia) and being a submissive citizen of Germany. But the Soviet Union confiscated their land and Germany gave it back to them!
By this alone, Lithuanians, Belarusians and Ukrainians would have mostly sided with the Germans. Therefore, the tactic of luring the enemy into the western theater of the Soviet Union does not seem to work...... Unless Trotsky does not want Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania and is ready to put the Germans on Russian soil! And that, of course, is not feasible. Therefore, the command of the Soviet Red Army is developing a counterattack plan in preparation for a counteroffensive in the autumn of this year. A lot of cannon fodder and weapons will be needed by then, so the USSR urgently needs Indian cannon fodder. At the same time, there are no additional weapons and ammunition to provide.
This time it was really unexpectedly passive, not only in the northeastern battlefield of India, but also in the most critical western theater of the Soviet Union! If the Soviet Union's support for the Indian battlefield could not be increased in time, how would the war situation in India be maintained? Relying on 80,000 tons of military material aid per month is simply not enough to maintain a few million troops to carry out high-intensity operations, and can only rely on depletion stocks to maintain the situation, but the Indian Red Army does not have many weapons and ammunition stocks, so the Indian Red Army simply cannot fight a few wars of attrition that last for a long time. On this basis, it is not possible to fight Chinese in the Bay of Bengal......
Blyukhel finally spoke in a heavy tone, his voice low and somewhat terrifying. "Comrade Carya." He looked at Charia, the eldest son of Ruyi. "Do you think we can consider a big step back? It's more powerful to take your fist back and punch it out...... Moreover, the enemy's forces are limited after all, and the more territory they occupy, the more dispersed their forces will be, and the more conducive it will be for us to destroy them! Don't you say? ”
"But Bangladesh has always been a Muslin settlement!" Charia said with a gloomy face: "And the Mismlin of India had a tendency to separate from the Hindus and establish an independent state before the outbreak of the revolution!" They are now playing the East Indies and the Republic of Slav, which is clearly about separating Bengal from the territory of India! Comrade Blyukhel. If the whole of Bengal becomes the world of Slavism. We may have to fight the Indians who are under the control of Allah! ”
Listening to Chalya's categorical tone, Blyukhel also knew that Comrade Lu Yi had made up his mind, there was no room for bargaining, and he could only fight a decisive battle with the Chinese in the Bay of Bengal region!
……
Although Blyukhel's original plan was to lure the enemy deeper, it did not mean that the door was open all the way to give up resistance. The commander of the squadron is not a Yankee who has never fought a war, and he will be fooled if he flickers casually. Therefore, on the front of the Hooghly River leading to Calcutta, Blyukher still deployed a considerable number of troops, and at this time the invading Chinese army and Allah army were being killed in the dark. The Chinese army dispatched the 1st Marine Division. The division commander, Major General Fang Xianjue, personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and his forward headquarters was set up on a small hill less than 5 kilometers south of the city of Rokigandapur, north of Jagdib.
The Indian Red Army placed a whole division in the city of Rokigandapur. The number found out is the 135th Division of the Indian Red Army, which is not considered elite. It is an ordinary infantry division, with three infantry regiments and an artillery battalion, with 12 76.2mm field guns and 6 45mm anti-tank guns. However, the 1st Marine Division of the Chinese Army also did not have many heavy weapons, and their artillery regiment only had 1 105mm light howitzer battalion (18 guns), a 75mm mountain artillery battalion (18 guns) and a 75mm anti-tank gun battalion (also 18 guns). It seems to be much stronger than the 135th Division of the Indian Army, but now their 105mm howitzer battalion has not yet landed, and the 75mm anti-tank gun battalion is still on Sagar Island, and only one 75mm mountain artillery battalion is advancing all the way with the main force of the division, so there is not much advantage in artillery firepower. However, the Chinese Army's Marine Corps is considered an elite unit, and their infantry also uses powerful Type 31 automatic rifles. In addition, 75mm recoilless guns and 120mm heavy mortars are available at the infantry regiment level, 80mm and 60mm mortars at the infantry battalion and infantry company levels, and the Type 34 general-purpose machine gun is also equipped with extremely powerful firepower. The most important thing is that they can also get air support from the J-3E Dragon Eagle flying from the aircraft carrier. Therefore, from Sagar Island all the way to kill, the 1st Marine Division can be regarded as overwhelming. Although he had been blocked by the Indian army on the front line of Rokigandapur City for three and a half days, Fang Xianjue knew that his opponent must have paid an extremely heavy price, and now it was almost the end of the crossbow. So he is now triumphantly holding a telescope and standing outside the headquarters, watching his troops launch a final general assault on the Indian positions.
However, he would never have imagined that at this moment, on the high ground north of Roki Gandapur, the commander of the Indian Army Group Bengal, Konev, was also holding a telescope and watching the battle. He was originally the commander of the tank army, but after suffering defeat in the Central Asian theater, he was demoted to the commander of an infantry division, and later transferred to India as the commander of the army group of the Indian Red Army. And this time, the Bengal Army Group under his command will be the main force in the decisive battle with the invading squadron.
