"Fire!" A battalion of Chinese Marines guarding the Guwahati Bridge opened heavy fire on the British and Indian soldiers, and in order to be able to recapture the bridge, the troops of the 25th and 28th Armies of the British and Indian Armies, under the orders of Lieutenant General Christopher and Lieutenant General Philip, launched a fierce attack on the Chinese marines. 5.com Chinese On the narrow bridgehead, the superiority of the British and Indian troops could not be brought into play at all, and they could only put in a battalion of a few hundred troops at a time. But such a small number of troops is simply not enough to break through the defense line of the Chinese Marine Corps.

The two 'Tianshui-class' light cruisers and four 'Dujiangyan-class' destroyers of the Chinese Navy cruising on the Brahmaputra River were also firing at the British and Indian forces. On the one hand, they provided fire support to the marines guarding the bridge, and on the other hand, they suppressed the British and Indian forces to reduce the pressure on the marines. After all, the remnants of the Anglo-Indian Army's 25th Army and the 28th Army combined were still hundreds of thousands, and if they all flocked to the bridge to attack, it would be difficult for a single battalion of marines to resist.

The Tianshui-class light cruiser was armed with two twin 155-mm guns, located in the bow and stern. The Navy's 155mm naval guns are much more powerful than the Army's 155mm heavy howitzers, and each shell can kill and wound dozens or even hundreds of people in dense crowds. In addition, on both sides of the 'Tianshui-class' light cruiser there were 6 105-mm secondary guns, 8 88-mm rapid-fire guns and 8 37-mm rapid-fire guns. These small-caliber cannons are for large warships of the Navy. Maybe it won't do much harm. But for soldiers who don't have any defenses. That's enough to kill. The Dujiangyan-class destroyers were also armed with one 105-mm naval gun, two 88-mm rapid-fire guns and two 37-mm rapid-fire guns. The number of guns of these six battleships alone is already more than that of an artillery battalion, and the firepower projection capacity is far more than that of an artillery battalion. Under the fire of these warships, the Anglo-Indian troops gathered in Guwahati suffered heavy losses, and the banks of the Brahmaputra River were littered with stumps and severed arms, and the blood of the dead British and Indian soldiers flowed into the river, staining the river red.

"General Christopher. That's not going to work! The Chinese occupied the bridge over the river, it was heavily defended, and we simply could not fill it! The Chinese pursuers are coming soon, and if we can't cross the river in time, I'm afraid we won't be able to run! Lieutenant General Philip said with some concern. Originally, they thought that if they could retreat from Guwahati to the north bank of the Brahmaputra River, and then blow up the bridge, then the squadron would not be able to pose any threat to them. But now it seems that the Chinese side has been prepared for a long time.

"General Philip, we have no choice now, we must take the bridge back. Otherwise, we're all dead! I will let the 25th Army find a way to intercept the pursuing troops of the Chinese for a while. Your 28th Army is responsible for retaking the bridge. We're running out of time, and I'll be able to hold out for about three or four hours at most! Lieutenant General Christopher said with a stern face.

"Alright, let's split up!" Lieutenant General Philip said. He also knew that the two of them could only work together now, otherwise, no one would be able to run away at that time. Whether it is to intercept the pursuers of the squadron or to recapture the bridge, it is not an easy task. However, if they don't want to be captured or even killed by the squadron, they can only desperately snatch the bridge back.

Lieutenant General Christopher and Lieutenant General Philip began to work together, and Lieutenant General Christopher organized the remaining units of the Anglo-Indian 25th Army to deploy a defensive line south of Guwahati to prepare to intercept the pursuers of the second group of the Chinese Army. And Lieutenant General Philip commanded the remaining troops of the 28th Army to intensify the attack on the Guwahati Bridge, hoping to defeat the Chinese marines guarding the bridge and take the bridge back!

A large number of British and Indian soldiers rushed to the bridge like a tidal wave, and then under the fire of Chinese marines and naval warships on the river, they left corpses everywhere and finally retreated. Several attacks by the British and Indian forces were completely ineffective.

"General, our losses are very large, the Chinese are so strong in firepower, we don't have artillery to suppress them, our soldiers can't rush up at all!" As long as the Chinese have enough ammunition, we will not have a way to retake the bridge! A major general officer complained to Lieutenant General Philip. The British and Indian troops had few artillery, and when they fled, these cannons were all discarded, which made them have no artillery to suppress the squadron at all, so that they suffered a great loss when attacking.

"General, the Guwahati Bridge is only more than ten meters wide, and the Chinese's position on the bridgehead is only less than fifty meters wide, and they have deployed more than ten heavy machine guns and more light machine guns on this defensive line, as well as the fire support of the battleships on the river, no matter how many people we send up, there is only a dead end!" Another general also said. The defense line of the squadron is very narrow, which allows the Chinese Marines to fully concentrate the advantage of firepower, but the British and Indian troops cannot use it, and they have been bleeding in front of the defense line of the Chinese Marines again and again.

"Concentrate all the heavy machine guns and use them to suppress the Chinese lines and the battleships on the river. Then organize your troops to attack and take the bridge back! Lieutenant General Philip said. Heavy machine guns weighed much less than artillery. Therefore, the Anglo-Indian troops still carried some heavy machine guns when they retreated. The 28th Army also had more than forty heavy machine guns combined. It's just that it seems unlikely to use heavy machine guns against naval warships on the river. However, the Anglo-Indian army has no choice but to use dead horses as live horse doctors!

Under the order of Lieutenant General Philip, the Indian Asanmen struggled to lift out dozens of heavy machine guns, and then fired fiercely at the defense line of the squadron, and the Chinese marines who were defending at once could not raise their heads. In addition, the warships on the river were also attacked, and some sailors did not have time to dodge and were shot on the spot.

"Holy shit, fire, take out those Indian heavy machine guns!" The battalion commander of the Chinese Marine Corps shouted. The mortars deployed on the bridge deck opened fire one after another, and the dense shells fell on the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops, directly blowing up the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops into pieces.

At the same time, the warships on the river also began to return fire, and a large number of rapid-fire guns opened fire on the heavy machine-gun positions of the British and Indian troops, and in an instant, the heavy machine-gun positions of the British and Indian troops were turned into a sea of fire.

When the heavy machine gun positions of the British and Indian troops were firing frantically, a large number of Indian Argentines rushed towards the bridge with rifles in their hands, and regaining the bridge was equivalent to snatching back a way of life for them. However, before they could rush to the squadron's position, their heavy machine-gun position was wiped out, and the Chinese marines and the warships on the river once again turned their guns and opened fire on the Indian Asan, knocking them to the ground.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the troops of the second group of the Chinese army arrived in Guwahati and began to attack the British and Indian troops. The 25th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army, which was defending south of Guwahati, could not resist at all in the face of the fierce attack of the squadron and the Korean mercenaries, and was defeated in less than an hour. After defeating the 25th Anglo-Indian Army, the squadron began to pursue the scattered Anglo-Indian army. Several infantry divisions of the 10th Army of the Chinese Army interspersed along the sides of Guwahati towards the Brahmaputra River, trying to leave all the main forces of the Anglo-Indian army behind, lest they escape.

"General Philip, we can't resist the attack of the Chinese, we will lose this battle!" Lieutenant General Christopher said with a dejected expression. Now, the 28th Army is not capable of recapturing the bridge, and the pursuers of the Chinese Army have also arrived, and they are unable to fly!

"General Christopher, let's surrender to the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Philip said. In the absence of any choice, I had no choice but to surrender.

"Surrender? Will the Chinese promise us to surrender? Lieutenant General Christopher smiled wryly.

The Anglo-Indian army sent emissaries to the second group of the Chinese army, wanting to surrender. However, their surrender was immediately rejected by the commander of the second group of the Chinese Army, General Lin Chengye. Hundreds of thousands of Indian prisoners are completely burdensome to the squadron. There are hundreds of millions of people in India, and the population is too much, so why let them go if there is an opportunity to reduce the number of some Indian Ahsan?

The second group of the Chinese Army rejected the request for surrender of the Anglo-Indian army and continued the offensive. In desperation, the Anglo-Indian troops scattered and fled, but the east, south, and west directions of Guwahati were held by the squadron, and the Brahmaputra River in the north, they had no way to escape.

Stimulated by the ** of survival, a large number of British and Indian soldiers rushed to the Brahmaputra River, and since the bridge was occupied by the squadron, they could only choose to swim across the river. Although it is the end of November, the weather is not cold, and the river is only a few hundred meters wide, so it is completely possible to swim through it for those with good water skills.

A large number of Indian Ah San jumped into the river like dumplings and swam desperately to the other side of the river. The Chinese marines on the bridge used light and heavy machine guns to strafe the Indian Ahsan in the river, and the warships cruising on the river also went on a rampage, firing at the Indian Ahsan with the warship's naval guns and machine guns. For a while, the wails of Indian Ahsan were constantly heard on the surface of the river, and the river water was dyed red, and the corpses floated on the surface of the river, flowing downstream along the water!
