Battle of East Bengal 15

Violent explosions continued to occur in the "boom" port, and hundreds of antiaircraft guns, antiaircraft machine guns, and antiaircraft machine guns frantically sprayed bullets into the sky.

The port of Darwin was in a panic, and several transport ships in the harbor caught fire.

Twelve H-1 Thunderbird bombers hovered in the sky, dropping bombs incessantly.

Pershing stared at the sky, his eyes almost on fire.

Ishihara Wan'er on the side said indifferently: "The height of the Chinese's bombers exceeds five thousand, most of our anti-aircraft weapons cannot threaten them, only eighteen anti-aircraft guns can reach this height, but the rate of fire of anti-aircraft guns is too slow and not flexible enough to threaten high-speed aircraft." ”

Pershing gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, are the Chinese ready to fight on two fronts?" ”

Ishihara said lightly: "It shouldn't be." There is an old Chinese saying that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. With Li Bufan's shrewdness, he would definitely concentrate all his forces to win a war, and his target was undoubtedly East Bengal. At the moment he sent planes to bomb us, I think he was trying to spread our forces as much as possible. The 3,000 fighters that were supposed to be transferred to us were requisitioned to India, and the Chinese did this so that the next batch of planes would not be transferred to India. ”

Finally, the Chinese bombers in the sky began to retreat.

Pershing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What do you think about the situation in East Bengal?" ”

Ishihara sighed and said, "I can only say that something is wrong. ”

"Something is wrong?" Pershing frowned, "So far." There's nothing to be done with the situation. ”

"Yes!" Ishihara said affirmatively: "It is precisely because it is too normal that it seems abnormal." With Li Bufan's character, since he designed to annihilate the coalition Assamese Front and arranged a strategic encirclement of the Xiafei Burmese Front, he would definitely not let go of the Xiafei Burmese Front. The coalition Burmese Front can be said to be nine deaths, how could Li Bufan let Xia Fei Burmese Front fight East Bengal? Don't you see that the Chinese still set traps in the Dongge Mountain Pass? ”

Pershing thought about it carefully and said seriously: "Isn't it difficult enough for the Xiafei Burmese Front Army to do so at the moment?" They paid the price of two or three hundred thousand casualties to get to where they are today. Do you think this is deliberately done by the Chinese? ”

Ishihara said lightly: "If I were Li Bufan, I would let the troops parachute into the Donggeon Mountain Pass as soon as possible." China has several hundred bombers and transport aircraft. If you fight for some losses. The non-stop airborne troops will be able to quickly form a relatively solid defensive line in the favorable terrain of the Dongge Mountain Pass. This defense line is supported by China's powerful air power, and it will be very difficult for the Xiafei Burmese Front, which does not have many heavy weapons, to overcome it. ”

Pershing's face changed instantly. Creepy said: "Could this be another trap for the Chinese?" I have to remind them. Beware of the damned Chinese. ”

Ishihara said bitterly: "It's come to this point. Reminders don't make any sense anymore. Can the coalition forces abandon the six or seven hundred thousand elite troops of the coalition army that are within reach? Even if you know that it is a trap, you can only bite the bullet, otherwise how can you explain it to Western countries? ”

Pershing was stunned for a moment. His heart was anxious, and he couldn't help but say, "Could it be that you just watched the friendly army fall for the tricks of the Chinese?" ”

Ishihara said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say if it's a trick or not. Although the battle reports from the Indian front line were provided to us, there were some specific things that were not mentioned. For example, if it was raining in the area of China's important airports at that time, it affected the take-off of planes, and so on. ”

Pershing immediately said: "Then I will immediately ask the Indian side for confirmation and remind them of the conspiracy of the Chinese." ”

Ishihara said seriously: "General, I hope that the telegram will be raised in rank." If this news spreads, it is very likely to affect the morale of the military. If it is really a conspiracy of the Chinese, of course, it does not matter, but if the consequences are unimaginable. If the rescue is delayed, it is equivalent to burying hundreds of thousands of elite coalition troops. ”

Pershing held Ishihara's hand tightly and said, "Thank you!" With that, he quickly ran to the telecommunications room.

Ishihara Waner sighed and shook his head, since the Chinese's "co-work plan", he has died of the heart of winning with strategic schemes, which is definitely the strength of attacking the enemy with his own shortcomings. The "stupid method" he proposed to Pershing at that time was that no matter how the Chinese planned to lure them, the Western coalition forces, relying on the powerful industrial capabilities of the West, took advantage of the West's powerful industrial capabilities, and crushed the past step by step, forcing the Chinese to fight a decisive battle with them.

Ishihara admitted that Admiral Dannatt was indeed very good, but if he wanted to compare with Li Bufan, he was afraid that the difference would not be half a point.

Now he only hopes that it is really the weather that affects the Chinese airborne, otherwise, he can only pray that the losses of the coalition forces will not be too heavy.

The Lambull coalition command was tense and busy.

After a series of troop transfers and deployments, the battle of East Bengal is already imminent.

"Report to the commander, we have three hundred aircraft on non-stop air cruise, and so far, no enemy air force has been detected."

Admiral Dannat nodded at Olife, learning the lessons of the last devastating attack on the airport by the Chinese side, and now Dannatt is unusually careful. The air force is the most important task in this large-scale rescue plan, and if there is no air force to contain China's air power, then the plan will be an empty word, and China's air force will carry out devastating bombing strikes against the offensive forces on the ground, and the US-led joint fleet will not dare to enter the waters of East Bengal to fight, let alone provide artillery support to the underground palace on the shore.

"Report, Southeast Asian Front Military Emergency, Confidential." A staff officer ran over with a telegram with a slightly panicked look.

Olife took it, and his face changed dramatically.

Dannatt frowned, "What's the problem?" ”

Olife glanced left and right, handed over the telegram, and whispered, "See for yourself." ”

Dannatt quickly took the telegram and took a quick glance, and said with a calm face: "Check it for me!" ”

Olife responded, but soon returned: "Commander, according to meteorological records, it did rain heavily in the area under China's control during those two days, otherwise they would not have been able to launch the 'Gonggong Plan'. ”

Admiral Dannatt breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that he was really afraid just now, the Chinese's methods were too terrible, and the second Battle of Assam was a lesson from the past. At the moment, he said: "That's good, send a telegram back to General Pershing, let him rest assured." ”

Olife said, "Yes." Just, Commander. Is it time for us to order the combined fleet to be dispatched? ”

Admiral Dannat nodded and said, "Order the fleet to go out at night, and before dawn tomorrow, it must appear at the mouth of the Ganges River and stand by." Tell them that our air force fleet will provide them with air cover as soon as it is dawn. ”

Oliver said solemnly: "Yes! ”

"Wait!" Dannatt thought for a moment and said: "Telegraph Xia Fei that our army will suddenly launch a full-scale attack on the enemy at three o'clock in the morning, and I hope that they will go all out to cooperate with our army's actions and attack the Chinese East Bengal defense line front and rear." Whether they can break out of the encirclement depends on this time. ”

Olife said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”

Dannatt said with a gloomy face: "I am very worried about the Arab Legion and the Indian Legion, after the matter is done, I want you to personally supervise the battle, and all those who dare to retreat will be killed." The tone was filled with murderous intent.

When Olife saw the murderous Dannat, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart

In the classified conference room of the Chinese Dibruggler headquarters.

Li Bufan and Li Songshan were deducing the current battle situation, although it was only a deduction, but both sides were sweating and nervous.

In the end, Li Songshan dropped the flag in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, you are too ruthless." ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "It's all in one battle." If you are not ruthless, how can you achieve the effect of inflicting heavy damage on the enemy. ”

Li Songshan hesitated and said, "If we do this, we will also lose a lot, especially the navy." If we adopt night airborne operations and use airborne troops to surprise attack the enemy's airfields, even if only a part of them are destroyed, we will be able to quickly gain air supremacy and thus quickly gain the strategic initiative. ”

Li Bufan sighed and said: "The huge role of the Air Force is no secret, Dannat is not a simple opponent, he will definitely defend very tightly." Importantly, racial differences make it even more difficult for us to infiltrate and fight. Not to mention our people, even Indians, who don't want to be close to the airport, the Indian anti-colonial organizations that we work with have passed on this information to us. At present, we can only roughly determine the location of the enemy's airfield, and even if we dispatch base vehicles, we can only detect a small part of the airfield, and we can destroy this part of the airfield. It's just that for the rest, we can only give them a large-scale bombardment, and destroy as much as we can. ”

Li Songshan sighed, the importance of the base car is self-evident, Li Bufan is absolutely impossible to let the base car enter the Ganges River to scan the exact location of the enemy's airfield.

Li Bufan said: "The most important thing is that if we completely destroy the enemy's air force, then we will not achieve the goal of luring the enemy's main naval force, and even the British army may shrink to the shore defense line." Our Navy also needs a real sea battle, building confidence. Indeed, the enemy's naval strength is superior to ours, and even if we repel the enemy, our navy will suffer heavy losses. If our navy is hit hard, the enemy will let down its vigilance against the navy, which will be conducive to the development of our subsequent 'Troops in the City' plan. ”

Li Songshan did not clearly know the specific content of the plan of "soldiers coming to the city", but he still expressed his obedience. Immediately said: "Dannat is afraid that he never dreamed, we have been waiting for him for a long time. I don't know if he will go crazy when he comes to his senses. ”

"Hehe" Li Bufan chuckled, he actually wanted to see how funny and ridiculous the reaction of the Western high-level would be, when it came to the meat on his Li Bufan's mouth, how could he let it go? (To be continued......)
