“… For more than a decade, there has been controversy over the question of where the first world revolution turned from victory to decline. The Germans believed it was the Battle of Poland, the Chinese believed it was the Second Battle of Central Asia, and the Americans believed that the successful stationing of the main forces of their Pacific Fleet in Port Moresby kicked off the international imperialist counteroffensive. Truth be told, however, none of this was the real turning point of the last world revolution, nor was it the beginning of the defeat of the international GCIST camp

Because after the Polish Campaign and the Second Central Asian War, the strategic offensive of the international GCIST camp still did not end, first the Indian Revolution won a great victory, and then we defeated the United States, Britain, China and Afghanistan in the Middle East, planting the red flag on the African continent for the first time! What's more, India, once the second most populous country in the world, became a new force in the international GC camp after the victory of the revolution, and we, the Indian people, are ready to pay 100 million lives for the victory of the world revolution, as my father said! At that time, we all believed that such sacrifices were enough to win the final victory of the world revolution.

However, after the Battle of Xīzàng-Imphal in the summer of 1935, we knew that we were completely wrong, that we believed too much in quantity and neglected quality and good military command. In this regard, the Soviets themselves did not do too well, they lost an average of 600,000 people per month in the first world revolution! And we are even worse at this, too many Indian youths are being thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder without the necessary training and equipment. This is especially true in the Himalayas, a plateau battlefield where those of us who live on the plains all year round have difficulty breathing, and where the climate is so cold that food and water are not cooked. At that time, the health of Indian officers and soldiers was very bad, many of them could not even hold rifles, and they could not walk steadily, but for the victory of the world revolution, they still went to the battlefield without hesitation, rushed to the enemy, and a few of them stained the Himalayan snow-capped mountains with their own blood, but in the end we still failed, and too many young Indian men died in the Battle of Northwest India and the Third Middle East Battle that began later! Even India, a country of 3.5 billion people, cannot afford that kind of casualties. Therefore, I think that the Battle of Imphal in 1935, the Battle of Northwest India, and the Third Battle of the Middle East were the beginning of the defeat of the First World Revolution. - The above is an excerpt from the second great leader of the People's Republic of India, Attar Atta. Kumar. Charia's memoir "Written Before the Second World Revolution" (aka "The Beginning of the Failed World Revolution").

Now let's go back to the battlefield of Imphal in the summer of 1935, which was not necessarily the place where the world revolution began to fail, but it was definitely the place where the defeat of the Indian revolution began. And what opened the prelude to the failure of the Indian revolution was a group of middle-class people who had lived on the snowy plateau for generations.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "Lieutenant Tokuhito Zhuomu, commander of the 9th Company of the 22nd Mountain Infantry Regiment of the 8th Mountain Division of the 3rd Mountain Army, was wearing a green camouflage uniform, wrapped in a thick woolen blanket, and holding his beloved Type 31 automatic rifle.

"Coming back for the big night? These Indian Asans don't have to sleep! Zhuo Mu Deren muttered and rubbed his eyes, opened the kettle and drank a few sips of cold water, suddenly sobered up a lot, and asked, "Where is the Indian Ah San?" How many? ”

"It's almost halfway up the mountain, and I can't tell how many people there are in the middle of the night, but there are always thousands." Lausanne, the sentry who had just come in from outside the bunker, reported loudly. Zhuo Mu Deren gasped, there were thousands of people again! There are really a lot of people in India, and thousands of troops have smashed over for this front-line post they defended! Seven onslaughts have been launched during the day today, and they will not stop at night!

"Don't sleep, get up and get ready to fight!"

With a roar, Zhuo Mu Deren picked up his Type 31 automatic rifle, inserted a few magazines and grenades in his waist, and then waved his hand to beckon his subordinates to leave the bomb shelter of the civil structure and walk along the communication trench to the front position. By the time they entered the trenches, the Indian artillery bombardment had already begun.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Indian artillery shells came one after another, neither dense nor accurate, most of them landed outside the positions of the Chinese troops, and the rare few hits did not cause much damage.

As for the bombardment of the Indians, Zhuo Mu Naruhito and his subordinates did not take it seriously for a long time, although they were all new to the battlefield, they were not novices, and all the officers and men of the company had gone to Qinghai to participate in military exercises and had seen the real artillery doctrine. Sitting in the trench and listening to the rumbling cannons outside, Zhuo Mu Deren scolded and scolded: "These Indian cannon fodder are really not worth it, the Soviet godfather refuses to even give a few more shells, it seems that these Indian lives are not worth as much as the shells." ”

The deputy company commander on the side, Second Lieutenant Lee Jin-tae, a former South Korean Defense Force officer transferred from the Chinese Expeditionary Force (Chang Ruiqing's latest means of annexing the Korean Peninsula is to issue Chinese passports to all Koreans who have participated in the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and also allow them to join the Chinese Defense Force) Haha smiled and said: "Even if Lao Maozi gives cannonballs to artillery, they can't pull up the Himalayas, Brother Naruhito, you don't know, Lao Maozi's cannons are stupid, stupid, and coarse, Their 76 field guns need 105 horses more than our 8nnr howitzers on the plains! ”

"Haha, that's ...... that"

Zhuo Mu Deren nodded, with a convincing expression on his face, although his military rank was higher than Li Zhentai, but when it came to military literacy and experience, he was really inferior to the other party.

He was only a graduate of the Lhasa short-term training class of the Zhongyāng Military Academy, while Li Zhentai was a graduate of the Pyongyang Army Military Academy, and he also fought with the Japanese on the Korean battlefield for six years, and later went to India to fight.

Li Zhentai's analysis of the reasons for the lack of firepower of the Indian army is also completely correct; although the firepower of the Indian army is weak, it is not as low as it is now, and the reason for this situation is precisely because the Soviet-made artillery is too heavy and it is difficult to drag it up to the plateau. In contrast, the Chinese army's mountain troops have many light weight and powerful artillery, some of which were specially developed for mountain troops.

For example, the Type 30 75 mountain gun developed by the Swedish company Bofors is only a 785-kilogram mountain gun with a full combat weight, but the maximum range is 9,150 meters. In addition, the cannon is well-constructed and easy to disassemble, so it can be transported by mules and horses after being disassembled, and can be placed on any terrain that infantry can climb, so it is especially suitable for use in mountainous areas. Historically, this artillery was purchased in large quantities by the Kuomintang army and became the pillar of artillery firepower at the division level of the German Armament Division, and in this time and space, the Chinese arsenal purchased a production license from Bofors, and a large number of copies of the Type 30 M mountain gun, which were assigned to the mountain troops.

In addition, the Chinese mountain troops also have a lot of domestically produced Type 29 150NNM infantry guns (M self-propelled infantry guns are installed on the territory of hunters) and Type 29 105M mountain guns, and a battalion of Type 29 PM infantry guns; In the artillery regiment of the Mountain Army, three battalions of Type 29 KOM howitzers were attached. At the level of the Mountain Infantry Regiment, there is also a 75 recoilless gun battalion and an M heavy mortar battalion.

Moreover, although the Chinese garrison in Xīzàng was not large, preparations for war were carried out for many years, not only building a large number of outposts and fortresses on the main mountain passes on the border between China and India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and other countries, but also stockpiling a large number of weapons and ammunition in Xīzàng. So at this time, the artillery of the 3rd Mountain Army and the 8th Mountain Division had enough ammunition to consume. Soon, the Chinese's shells rained down on the heads of the Indian Red Army, which was slowly climbing up the mountain. However, these Indian Red Army troops were not afraid of death, and rushed up the mountain with their heads covered.

"The Indians are coming! The Indians are coming up! The observation sentry on the position shouted.

"Basan!" Zhuo Mu Naruhito called out the name of Basan, the machine gunner in the company. "In!" A young man in his early 20s walked up to Zhuo Mu Deren with a Type 34 general-purpose machine gun and a cat: "Company commander, how many meters?" ”

"300 meters!" Zhuo Mu Deren Zhong pointed out five fingers: "Put the enemy within 300 meters and then fight, and the whole company will listen to your machine gun. ”

The Type 34 general-purpose machine gun is extremely fast, and fires with a shrill screech like tearing linen. Therefore, the Chinese army tried to use the shè fire of this Type 34 general-purpose machine gun as a signal for all to open fire. In addition, although the firepower of the Type 31 automatic rifle is strong, the use of intermediate rounds results in a small effective range of this automatic rifle, only about 600 meters, unlike ordinary rifles that can exceed meters (not that sharpshooters simply miss at this distance).

Soviet officers who understood the "shortcoming" of the Type 31 automatic rifle would often have their men open fire at a distance of 600 meters to lure their opponents into a counterattack to drain their ammunition. As a result, Chinese troops using Type 31 automatic rifles generally attach great importance to the discipline of shè fire, and fire is only allowed within 500 meters, and the firing distance is reduced to within 300 meters at night or in poor visibility.

"Lao Li," Zhuo Mu Deren shouted at the deputy company commander Li Zhentai again: "The two mortars are given to you to command, and you will give me a hard shot after Lausanne fires later!" Xiangba, aren't you a sharpshooter? zìyou play, now go and give India a little bitter food. "Snipers, of course, fire whenever they want. Then Tokuhito Takaki shouted again: "The rest of the people are listening to me, use Lausanne's machine gun as a signal to fire, and if Lausanne's machine gun does not fire, wait for the enemy to fire within 200 meters!" ”

"Yes!"

“…… I still can't forget this voice, 'Dazizizi・・・・・・Dazizizi, it sounds like someone is tearing clothes on the battlefield, and it seems to be the sound of a chainsaw, which is very harsh. It was the first time I had been on the battlefield and the first time I had heard such a voice. I remember asking Comrade Virgi next to me: 'What's that sound?' Why is it so harsh? , Comrade Virgi told me: 'It is the sickle of death reaping life!' At first, I didn't understand what Comrade Virgil meant, but I soon understood what that voice meant? It was a terrible machine gun firing, with which the Chinese were killing our heroic Red Army soldiers! The above is an excerpt from Ria's memoir "Written Before the Second World Revolution" (aka "The Beginning of the World's Single Life Failure").

As the Type 34 general-purpose machine gun on the squadron's position began to spit out ammunition at a speed of more than 600 rounds per minute, all the firearms of the mountain infantry company under the command of Zhuo Mu Deren hissed, and the Indian troops who were charging with their heads covered were suddenly swept down by a large area, and those soldiers who were not hit also fell to the ground one after another, and some even turned around and fled.

"Don't go back! Don't go back! Let the Overseer team fire, and whoever dares to take a step back will be killed

Although in his later memoirs, Comrade Charia was very sad about the death and injury of the Indian Red Army soldiers, but he was personally on the battlefield at that time to supervise the battle, and he did not have the slightest mercy for the Indian soldiers who tried to retreat from the superior fire of the Chinese.

"Da Da ・・・・・・" In the roar of the M19NO Maxim machine gun, dozens of Indian Ah San who tried to escape were beaten into blood gourds. The remaining soldiers had no choice but to continue to rush up.

Seeing the troops rushing again, Carya breathed a sigh of relief. Although the monthly losses of the Indian Red Army are extremely staggering, India is still a large country with a population of 3.5 billion, and it seems that it can afford to wear and tear. Therefore, at this time, Chalia did not care much about the casualties of the soldiers, as long as he could break through the Himalayan defense line of the Chinese army, he could still accept more deaths.

Although the Indian Red Army's mass attack was a costly tactic, the effect was still very good, and the offensive of the 34th Army of the Indian Red Army finally made a breakthrough on the fourth day under the personal supervision of Comrade Charia. After paying the heavy price of more than 10,000 casualties, the group army finally broke through the first line of defense deployed by the Chinese army south of Zhangmu Fortress and pushed the battle line to the foot of Zhangmu Fortress. At the same time, the Indian army that launched an offensive at Yadong and Kejielang also made some progress, and the 36th and 37th armies of the Indian army also cleared most of the outposts and strongholds deployed by the Chinese army in the south of the fortresses of Yadong and Kejielang after three or four hard battles. However, the offensive launched by the Kashmir Army Group of the Indian Red Army in the Asekhin region was kicked on the steel plate, and it turned out that it was not the troops of the 3rd Mountain Army that defended the Asekhin region, but the 36th Mountain Army transferred from the Central Asian battlefield!

In addition, the Asekhin region is only 250 to 400 kilometers away from Kashgar, Fergana, and Tashkent, and the Chinese army has built a large military airfield there, which can dispatch a large number of bombers and attack aircraft to fight. As a result, the Indian Kashmir Army suffered heavy casualties and losses of more than 20,000 men under the superior forces and firepower of the Chinese army, and had to go on the defensive.

At the same time, China's Central Asian Front, as well as the Allah Army and the M-Sling Alliance Army under the command of the Central Asian Front, also launched a counteroffensive into Afghanistan. The flat terrain along the Amu Darya River in northern Afghanistan was undefended except for the Amu Darya River, and the Indian Red Army did not deploy heavy troops north of the Hindu Kush, so the offensive under Bai Chongxi's command proceeded smoothly in the first few days, capturing the northern Afghan cities of Kunduz, Mazar-i-Sharif, Talukan, Balkh, Hibergan, and Anderhouy in less than 72 hours.

And in the Middle East and European theaters, the Allies also turned to a counteroffensive. In Eastern Europe, the German army's great offensive on the Eastern Front was finally launched in a mighty way, and millions of troops from Germany, Italy, Romania and other countries, under the cover of more than 10,000 aircraft of various types, led by nearly tanks and strong artillery, swaggered into the territory of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania in three directions, like a military exercise, easily crushing the Soviet Red Army units deployed on the front line, with Indian internationalist fighters as the main force, 72 hours after the offensive was launched, The German army advanced 50 km, 70 km and 65 km into the territory of the Soviet Union respectively・・・・・・

"What? It's been the 3rd day, and the Germans have only advanced a few dozen kilometers? Chang Ruiqing took the latest battle report from the Chinese delegation to Germany from Chen Xinrui's hand, glanced at it a few times, and frowned.

In the memory of his previous life, the Germans fought a long-drive blitzkrieg, and it was common for them to rush two or three hundred kilometers in 72 hours, but how did the Germans in this life become a steady and steady type?

"Yaoru, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong? Zhao Zhen, who was sitting opposite Chang Ruiqing and was reporting on the latest progress of the various fronts under the responsibility of the Chinese National Defense Forces, hurriedly asked.

Chang Ruiqing carefully read the report in his hand, shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it...... There is nothing wrong with that, we are looking at the post-war period, and Hitler has also set his sights on the post-war period. He raised his head and saw that Chen Xinrui hadn't left yet, so he asked, "Xinrui, what else is the news?" ”

Chen Xinrui handed over another note: "Sir, this is a telegram from our military observer on Oahu, since last night, the Japanese have stopped attacking Oahu, and the Japanese capital ship has not appeared in the waters near Oahu. They seem to be gone..."

"Left?" Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Could it be that the main force of the US Pacific Fleet is approaching the Hawaiian Islands?" Is the goal of the Americans really to relieve the Hawaiian Islands? ”
