"General, Your Excellency the Governor has called and asked if we can withstand the attack of the Chinese? If he can't win, he hopes to be able to send the Doge's Palace to the south! Lieutenant General de Frerell, Chief of Staff of the Anglo-Indian Army, said. *May Chinese.com 5.com The Viceroy of India, Baron Harding, also had his own channels, and he already knew the situation faced by the Anglo-Indian army in the Battle of Punjab. Originally, he thought that he had a good chance of winning. But at the beginning, he lost millions of troops, which made Baron Harding more and more optimistic about the Anglo-Indian army!

"Sue Your Excellency the Governor, we will try our best to win, now we still have 3.5 million troops, and we still have the strength to fight the Chinese!" Of course, if he doesn't feel safe in Delhi, he can choose to travel to the south of India! Admiral Kitchener said. In fact, he himself did not have much confidence in winning this battle. However, he was still very dissatisfied with the behavior of Baron Harding, the governor of India, who was greedy for life and afraid of death. In any case, Baron Harding, as the viceroy of India, the vice-king of India, and the de facto ruler of India, now wants to flee when he is in trouble, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on the morale of the British and Indian troops. What's more, now that the Chinese Navy has blocked the waters near the Indian Peninsula, even if Baron Harding wants to escape back to Britain, it will be impossible! As long as the Battle of Punjab ended with the defeat of the Anglo-Indian army, no matter where Baron Harding fled, he would only end up being captured or even killed by the Chinese!

"Yes, General! The Chinese have already arrived in Gujranwala. They could attack at any time! What should we do now? Lieutenant General De Frell asked. Although they have amassed so many troops near Gujranwala. But he didn't feel safe at all!

"This battle is inevitable. We must win this battle as much as possible! As soldiers of the British Empire, it is our duty to defend the interests of the British Empire! Admiral Kitchener said firmly.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of December 4, the Chinese Army launched an attack on Gujranwala, and the first group of the Chinese Army gathered thousands of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces to launch a fierce artillery attack on the British and Indian defense lines. The Anglo-Indian 1st Army and several other armies also gathered hundreds of heavy artillery pieces to return fire. The artillery battle on both sides was very intense, however. The Anglo-Indian artillery had to stop shelling less than ten minutes after they opened fire. The Chinese Air Force dispatched more than 100 warplanes to strafe and bomb the artillery positions of the British and Indian troops, and the heavy artillery units of the British and Indian troops suffered heavy losses and had to stop the shelling and begin to shift their positions. If the shelling continues, I'm afraid their artillery will be lost!

For this decisive battle, the firepower of the first group of the Chinese army was very well prepared, and the heavy artillery unit carried out an hour-long artillery bombardment of the Anglo-Indian army's defensive line, and the defensive line of the Anglo-Indian army's 4th Army became the key place for the Chinese army to attack. In the space of an hour, the heavy artillery units of the Chinese army fired at least 50,000 rounds of large-caliber shells, intensive shelling. Completely destroyed the positions of the Anglo-Indian 4th Army. The Anglo-Indian troops on the positions suffered even heavier losses. Eventually, the artillery fire of the heavy artillery units of the Chinese Army began to extend towards Gujranwala. And the 1st Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, as well as the 1st Infantry Division of the 3rd Army, the 13th Infantry Division and the three divisions of the Japanese mercenaries, launched an attack on the positions of the British and Indian troops!

"Boom!" The sound of motors of nearly two hundred tanks and armored vehicles converged as if it were thunder. Behind the armored forces were two infantry divisions of the Chinese Army and three divisions of the Japanese mercenaries.

At this time, the positions of the 4th Army of the British and Indian Army were already in shambles, and the fortifications of the civil structures they built were completely vulnerable in front of the heavy artillery units of the Chinese Army, and after the shelling was over, they had already been almost destroyed!

The armored units of the Chinese Army attacked the positions of the Anglo-Indian 4th Army almost without any resistance. However, to the surprise of the Chinese Army, even by this time, the Anglo-Indian 4th Army did not begin to counterattack. By the time the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese Army rushed to the positions of the British and Indian troops, a large number of Indian Argentines had already thrown away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender to the Chinese Army! Such a situation caught the Chinese Army a little off guard, but it also saved the Chinese Army a lot of effort!

By the evening, the first group of the Chinese Army had captured the positions of the 4th Army of the British and Indian Army, more than half of the troops of the 4th Army of the British and Indian Army surrendered to the Chinese Army, only a small part of the troops fled back, and there were not many British and Indian soldiers who were really shot and killed in the battle, except for those unlucky ghosts who died in the shelling at the beginning, and less than 10,000 Indian Asan died under the guns of the Chinese Army!

After breaking through the positions of the 4th Anglo-Indian Army, there was Gujranwala behind! It's just that it's already night, and the commander of the 1st Cluster of the Chinese Army, General Yang Guoxing, has ordered the whole army to go on the defensive. Now that we have reached the critical moment of the decisive battle, there is no room for negligence. After all, the Anglo-Indian army still has more than three million troops, and any negligence may lead to a reversal of the tide of the war!

Under the orders of General Yang Guoxing, various infantry divisions and divisions of the Japanese mercenaries strengthened their defenses at night to prevent the British and Indian troops from launching a surprise attack at night. In fact, as expected by Admiral Yang Guoxing of the government, the commander of the Anglo-Indian Army, Admiral Kitchener, has not given up until now, and is still making the last struggle! That night, the Anglo-Indian army formed a massive night attack. The commander of the Anglo-Indian forces, Admiral Kitchener, concentrated the forces of at least two army groups to attack the positions of the first group of the Chinese army.

Fortunately, the first group of the Chinese Army had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as the attack of the British and Indian troops began, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army had already entered the position and were ready for battle! One after another, the flares rose into the air, illuminating all the figures of the British and Indian troops. After that, light and heavy machine guns, as well as mortars and infantry guns, were fired, and the dense fire frustrated the British and Indian attacks. Even though the British and Indian forces launched attacks one after another, the Chinese army's position was still rock solid. In order to prevent the attack of the British and Indian forces, the Chinese army deliberately deployed a large number of light and heavy machine guns on the front-line positions. The dense bullets formed a network of fire, and all the British and Indian soldiers who broke into it had only one way to die!

The corpses of the Indian Asans had been piled up in a thick layer in front of the Chinese Army positions, and the blood flowing from the corpses had soaked the already fertile soil into a reddish-brown color. It can be expected that the vegetation on this land will definitely be more lush in the coming year!

As if they didn't care about the huge casualties, those British officers drove those Indian Asans into the battlefield like livestock, and used their bodies to resist the bullets and shells of the Chinese army! In order to force those Indian Asans to participate in the attack, the British and Indian troops even specially organized a war team, and all British and Indian troops who dared to retreat without permission would be strafed by the machine guns of the war team. In such a situation, those Indian Ah San can only desperately attack forward!

It's just that even then, the Anglo-Indian offensive was in vain. The positions of the Chinese army were impregnable, and the Japanese mercenaries organized several counterattacks. When the Japanese mercenary soldiers with rifles loaded with bayonets jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the British and Indian soldiers with their legs in circles, the frightened British and Indian soldiers turned around and fled! The Indian Asans had already seen the bayonet skills of those Oriental dwarfs, and they did not dare to fight these Japanese mercenary soldiers at all. Through the bright light of the flares, you can see that there are often groups of Japanese mercenary soldiers who scatter and flee like ducks!

The night attack of the British and Indian troops lasted until five o'clock in the morning and had to end! At this time, they were not yet able to break through the positions of the first cluster of the Chinese Army, which can conclude that their offensive had failed! After dawn, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force will come to help in the battle, and then the British and Indian troops will have no chance of victory!

The failure of this night attack also made Admiral Kitchener completely dead, and it was completely impossible to defeat the first cluster of the Chinese Army! At the same time, the fiasco of the Anglo-Indian army also made the morale of the Anglo-Indian army even lower! Not to mention the Indian Ah San, even many British officers began to desert. They all thought that since they knew that victory would not be possible, they should simply surrender!

On December 5, the Chinese Army began its offensive against Gujranwala. Units of the Anglo-Indian 1st Army, which had not been present in previous battles, were left in the city of Gujranwala. You want to defeat the Chinese Army in a street fight. After all, the 1st Anglo-Indian Army was armed with dozens of anti-tank guns, which could threaten the armored forces of the Chinese Army.

Before the Chinese army attacked Gujayranwala, the heavy artillery unit once again carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of Gujayranwala, and the air force also bombed Gujayranwala non-stop, bombing almost the entire city into ruins. The 1st Anglo-Indian Army, which held the city, also suffered heavy losses, and the fortifications they built were also blown up.

In order to reduce the losses of the squadron, the Japanese mercenaries acted as the first troops to attack Gujranwala. A large number of Japanese mercenaries, supported by the artillery of the Chinese army and the fighters of the air force, stormed the city of Gujranwala and fought with the British and Indian forces for control of the city. Those British of the 1st Anglo-Indian Army also fought very tenaciously, but at this time, their defeat was already inevitable! (To be continued......)
