In the southern state of Assam, a small village near the rainforest, there is constant squabbling, angry scolding and shouting.

A British company was ordered to come here to collect food, which was severely starved of food for the Western coalition forces due to the famine in India.

The Western world has ranked China as the most formidable adversary in history, and it is even more serious than it is about Germany. In order to ensure the defeat of the Chinese army, the Western world mobilized almost all the heavy weapons that could be mobilized, and the whole number of artillery pieces of more than 100 mm transferred to the front line was more than 1,000, plus other field artillery and mountain artillery, excluding mortars and anti-aircraft guns, more than 5,000 cannons, and millions of shells were prepared.

In that year, the British and French forces and the German army fought the Battle of the Somme, concentrated more than 2,000 artillery pieces, reserved more than 3.6 million shells, and carried out shelling for seven days. In the current battle of Assam, the artillery fire of the Western coalition forces has been doubled, and the artillery reserves have also more than doubled, reaching 8 million rounds, in fact, they plan to use artillery fire to bulldoze the Chinese position.

The logistical pressure on such a large number of heavy weapons can be imagined, but it is obviously impossible not to do so, and it is no secret that China has a super artillery group, and the whole Western world is greatly disturbed by the kind of missiles with tails, which is a new type of artillery that they have never seen before, and the power is no less than a 300-millimeter cannon. But they did not find that the Chinese army was operating with giant artillery, if it was one or two giant cannons, it was only possible, after all, it was possible, but at the beginning of the Battle of Assam, the Chinese secretly new artillery is definitely in the hundreds, there are not enough heavy weapons to take what to deal with the super artillery group of the Chinese?

Under enormous logistical pressure, the operations of the Western coalition forces in India could only be eaten on the spot. Originally, it was an old British colony. The Gangetic Plain is also a major grain producing area, and there is no problem with millions more mouths, but who would have thought that there would be a famine in the Gangetic Plain in India? The worst thing is that the war and chaos have caused serious damage to food production, and the subsequent supply will also be seriously insufficient. Moreover, the logistics of the Western coalition forces were constantly harassed and destroyed by the Indian anti-colonial forces, and the millions of troops had to consume astronomical amounts of food every day.

The soldiers who were on guard outside the entrance of the village noticed movement in the jungle not far away, and immediately became vigilant and shouted in that direction: "What man? Come out. Don't come out and shoot. ”

"Don't shoot. We are the Anglo-Burmese Army. A weak, tired voice came out.

Soon, dozens of white people came out of the jungle, and their military uniforms had long since become beggars' suits, and there was a stretcher. There was an old man on it.

The soldier saw that it was a white man. Also breathed a sigh of relief. But he suddenly saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of these dozens of people, although the military uniform on his body was not even as good as a beggar's uniform, but the epaulette was a star. I was almost dumbfounded. One of the soldiers said, "Isn't the Anglo-Burmese army already killed by the Chinese in Myitkyina?" Sir, are you really from the Anglo-Burmese Army? ”

The middle-aged young general raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, when suddenly the old man on the stretcher called weakly: "Oliver, forget it." Ask them what is going on, and we will rush to the headquarters as soon as possible. “

Oliver responded, and then shouted to the soldiers: "I am Oliver, the chief of staff of the major general of the Anglo-Burmese army, and this is General Dannat, the commander of the Anglo-Burmese army. Call your chiefs. ”

The soldiers on guard at the entrance of the village were stunned, and they never dreamed that they would encounter such a big Buddha. He didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and quickly called a lieutenant officer over, and after Lieutenant Gu Lai, he immediately saluted: "Report to the commander, Lieutenant Erickson of the Third Division of the Imperial Territory salutes you." ”

Olivee breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Third Division? I am the Chief of Staff of the Anglo-Burmese Army, Olife, and I also served in the 3rd Division as a regimental commander. ”

Erikson was taken aback and said: "You are General Olife, you have admired the name for a long time, how can you" Speaking of this, he realized that Olivee and the others were embarrassed, and he couldn't go on.

Olife sighed and said, "Don't mention it. At first, in order to cut off the supply lines of the Chinese and Assam troops, our Anglo-Burmese army controlled the mountains and improvised roads west of Myitkyina, but later due to the lack of food brought by the rapid march, the Indian soldiers mutinied, and we were forced to move to the rainforest. Later, this area was controlled by the Chinese, and we were forced to survive in the mountains, and more than 3,000 people died of starvation, disease, and poisonous insects. You get us something to eat first, hurry up, the commander is dying. ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Eriksson immediately responded, and quickly got some food to eat.

As soon as they were reincarnated, they were like starving ghosts, desperately stuffing food into their stomachs.

Admiral Dannatt, naturally, leaned back on the only chair in the outpost, ate something, and improved his spirits a little, and immediately asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

Lieutenant Erickson sighed, "Collect food on the spot." After explaining the situation, he said, "But what we didn't expect was that these villages were almost without food. Moreover, these people are no longer the original natives of Assam, many of them have migrated from French Annam. ”

Admiral Dannatt and Olivei looked at each other, their faces extremely ugly.

Olife looked at Admiral Dannat and said bitterly: "Commander, I didn't expect to be guessed by you." ”

There are countless tactics such as cutting off its grain routes, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and the Chinese National Defense Forces were victorious one after another. But he believed that China's military at that time was not enough to compete with the West, and the Western world was dozens of times larger than China in terms of industry.

After much deliberation, Admiral Dannatt believed that China's rapid capture of eastern India might be a false move at all. Because if it was a force preparing for Armageddon, the troops could not advance so quickly, because a big war was definitely not supported by the supplies that an army carried with them. But what is the purpose of the Chinese? Whatever it is, it must be a great threat to the Western coalition or something that China desperately needs.

When Admiral Dannat fled to the rainforest with his troops and was starved to the back, he suddenly realized that it was likely that in addition to plundering wealth, the Chinese were very likely to grab food, causing a great famine in India, which would not only make the Western coalition forces unable to take food on the spot, but also contain the strength of the Western coalition forces.

When Admiral Dannatt heard Lieutenant Erickson say this, his heart chuckled and he was half cold. Immediately said in a deep voice: "Is this the situation in all the villages in this area?" ”

Erikson nodded, "Yes, General." Almost every household has run out of food, and after today, everyone will be hungry. ”

Admiral Dannat gasped and felt like he was falling into an ice cave. He only felt that the Chinese were too ruthless, this was definitely a planned conspiracy, and the great retreat of the Chinese in this area of India was equivalent to leaving hundreds of millions of victims to the Western coalition forces, and once the hungry and crazy victims broke out, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

The more Admiral Dannat thought about it, the more frightened he became, and immediately shouted: "Send us to the headquarters immediately." ”

Facing Dannat with a gloomy face, Erikson did not dare to slack off, immediately got in touch with his superiors, and soon sent troops to send Dannat, Olivee and his party to the headquarters.

The commander-in-chief of the Western coalition forces, Hagrid, and the chief of staff, Marshall, were extremely shocked when they received the news, they thought that Dannat and others had died in battle, because they had lost contact for several months, and the West had learned about the Chinese prisoners through the South American Empire in South America.

Admiral Dannatt's seniority and prestige are not as high as Hagrid's, but they are no less significant.

Hagrid received him naturally and warmly, and what courage and courage the Anglo-Burmese army did not hesitate to put themselves to death in order to buy time for India. Although India eventually fell to the east, it was not Dannatt's fault, it was because the reinforcements of the British and French maritime forces were blocked by the Chinese navy, otherwise the British and French could really organize the rapid advance of the Chinese army in time at that time.

After receiving Admiral Dannatt and his entourage, after the two sides exchanged politeness, Admiral Dannatt couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately said his own reasoning.

Dannatt's bold reasoning surprised Admiral Hagrid and Chief of Staff Marshall, and their hearts felt like they were pressing on a big rock.

Hagrid said bitterly, "What if we knew?" The disaster is about to erupt, and it is impossible to stop it. Even if we wanted to provide relief, we would not be able to get so much food. ”

Admiral Dannatt gritted his teeth and said: "We must retreat, as far as possible to get rid of this whirlpool, anyone involved in this whirlpool, it will be shattered, it will be recorded in history, it will be stinking for 10,000 years." ”

Marshall said bitterly: "You can't retreat." Admiral Dannatt, you don't know that the whole Western world is full of fear of the impending 'Yellow Peril', and our constant 'reconquest' has managed to build confidence among the people, but if we retreat, then the little confidence that has been built up will completely collapse, and the morale of the troops will also be seriously affected. ”

"Damn it!" Admiral Dannatt was anxious and cursed fiercely, in the face of such a huge plan, it was even more incomprehensible.

Olivee suddenly said: "I think we can attack. The Chinese have taken a large amount of grain from India, and it should be stored in the area of Dibrugar, as long as we capture Dibrugar, then we will have food, can alleviate the disaster, and even hold on to the agricultural harvest, then everything will be solved. ”

"Attack?"
