In the headquarters of the British 11th Army next to the Shwedagon Temple in Burma, the commander of the British army, George Brown. Lieutenant General Pollock is firing. In only half a day, half of Yangon's defense line was lost, and the Chinese were beaten into the city. If this continues, it is not known whether we will be able to hold Rangoon until reinforcements arrive. After all, the nearest reinforcement, the British 13th Army, will also take more than three days to arrive. If the road encounters another Chinese blockade, I don't know how much more it will increase at this time.

"Major General Kevin, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Your line of defense will fall in half a day! "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said coldly. He was originally outside Major General Kevin's 41st Division, and he held out for at least a day or two, so that he might be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. However, in half a day, the 41st Division was routed, which made George . Lieutenant General Pollock's wish was completely frustrated.

"General, the 41st Division has done its best, in today's battle, the 41st Division suffered more than 5,000 casualties, the three main regiments have been disabled, and we have been attacked by at least 20,000 Chinese. Coupled with the fact that we are far from being the opponent of the Chinese in terms of firepower, there is no way to appear in this result! Major General Kevin said with red eyes. It's not that his troops are afraid of war, but it's that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. Switching to another unit, Major General Kevin also believed that the result would be the same.

"Major General Kevin. I don't listen to these excuses, I just want to see the results! "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said angrily.

"General, then I can't help it. If you're not happy with me. Remove me from my position! "Major General Kevin is not a man without a temper, and was killed by George. After Lieutenant General Pollock was in a hurry, he directly counterattacked-for-tat.

"General, Kevin, let's not say a word! Now is the time to resist the attack of the Chinese, we can't make infighting! The rest of the generals hurriedly came out to play a round. At this time, if something goes wrong with the British themselves. That's really looking for death.

George. Lieutenant General Pollock and Major General Kevin are not bad people, and they take advantage of this step to stop arguing. But. How to resist the attack of the Chinese army is a big deal, which is not only concerned about their vital interests, but also directly related to this war. Can Britain defeat China. Reverse the previous decline in one fell swoop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that starting tomorrow, the Chinese will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Yangon. We'll have to hold out until reinforcements arrive! "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said. If he had known that an attack on Burma would lead to a war with the Chinese Empire, he should not have come. It would be much better to stay in India honestly, to suppress the indigenous Indians, and to attack the Mughals.

"General. Now we have no other choice but to defend the city. Downtown Yangon. The area is not small. If we can fight a street fight with the Chinese, we may be able to hold the Chinese back. Of course, in that case, our casualties will be very large. Said a tall major general, Major General Liszt, commander of the 40th Infantry Division.

George. Lieutenant General Pollock nodded, the street fighting capability of the Chinese * army is also first-class in the world, and few countries can compare with it. George. Lieutenant General Pollock also did not believe that the British army had this ability. Of course, at this time, there is no other way but to bite the bullet. George. Lieutenant General Pollock also did not expect to defeat the Chinese* army, as long as it could be dragged until reinforcements arrived, it would be done. In this case, his task is accomplished. George. Lieutenant General Pollock vowed in his heart that when the war was over, he would return to England, even if he was discharged. Over the years, the money he has collected in India is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life, and he can't afford to put his old life into it in the end.

"From tomorrow, the 40th Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division will be ready to fight street battles with the Chinese!" George. Lieutenant General Pollock said.

"General, what about our 43rd Infantry Division? Or do you want to stick to the east bank of the Yangon River? Major General Jerison, commander of the 43rd Infantry Division, asked.

"The main task of the 43rd Infantry Division is still to defend the east bank of the Yangon River, and the Chinese have deployed heavy troops on the west bank of the Yangon River, and they will definitely not give up like this." George. Lieutenant General Pollock believes that the Chinese* army will certainly not attack only in the direction of the Bago River. The Chinese* troops deployed on the west bank of the Yangon River will certainly be waiting for an opportunity to attack.

"Yes, General!" Major General Jerichson nodded. There is no need to shop with the Chinese in the city, which is exactly what he wants.

On April 7, not long after dawn, the Chinese* army launched a heavy artillery bombardment of Yangon. The four 'Xia-class' cruisers on the river, as well as the 75-mm field guns of the four brigade artillery battalions, began to roar. Dense shells flew into the city of Yangon, splashing up clusters of fire. The city of Yangon, with the exception of Buddhist temples, is basically a slum. These slums, with little defense, were blown up. Even the tall Buddhist temples were bombed into ruins by the shelling. Shells do not have long eyes, and the shelling of the Chinese* army will not distinguish between Buddhist temples and slums. Whenever it is possible that the British are lurking inside, they are the target of shelling by the Chinese* army.

Before 8 a.m., the 14th Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Army began to attack the city of Yangon. Although the officers and soldiers of the Chinese* army are very unfamiliar with Yangon, they are not familiar with it. However, the British* army was not much stronger. Under such conditions, the British army simply did not take much advantage.

Dense gunfire rang out in the city of Yangon, and the Chinese* army gradually wiped out the British troops in the city with a set of effective tactics. Snipers, mortars, and grenades work together to make the game possible. Although the British army tried their best to stop the attack of the Chinese* army, they were still defeated and retreated. Streets guarded by British troops were constantly captured by Chinese* troops, and large areas of the city began to fall into the hands of Chinese* troops.

"General, the Chinese are so powerful that we can't take advantage of them in street fighting. In this only half a day, my troops have already lost a third of their positions, and they have lost more than 2,000 men. If we had held out into the evening, our losses would have been even greater. General, why don't we abandon Rangoon and get out of here! "The commander of the 40th Infantry Division, Major General Liszt, built yì Dao.

"No, we can't just give up on Yangon. Alexander's army will arrive in Rangoon in two days, and we still have a chance! "George. Lieutenant General Pollock said stubbornly.

"Well, General, then I need more reinforcements!" Major General Liszt said.

"Major General Liszt, I have already sent all the troops directly under the general, and there are no more extra troops for you!" George. Lieutenant General Pollock said helplessly.

"General, let the 43rd Infantry Division send a regiment over. It seems that the Chinese showed no signs of attacking from the Yangon River, and the deployment of an infantry division there was completely in vain. Major General Liszt said.

"But what should we do if the Chinese attack from the west?" George. Lieutenant General Pollock shook his head.

"General, even if the Chinese do not attack from the west, the fall of Rangoon is already inevitable!" Lieutenant General Liszt said.

George. Lieutenant General Pollock hesitated, but nodded. If the 43rd Infantry Division is not transferred, the 40th Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division alone will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese. Once these two infantry divisions are eliminated, the 43rd Infantry Division will also be exposed to the enemy and will eventually be wiped out by the Chinese* army. Now that the troops of the 43rd Infantry Division are being transferred into the city for defense, it may be possible to buy a little more time.

Soon, George. Lieutenant General Pollock ordered a regiment from the 43rd Infantry Division to return to the city of Rangoon to stop the Chinese* army. However, by the next morning, George. Lieutenant General Pollock once again ordered a regiment from the 43rd Infantry Division to be transferred back to the city to fight in order to maintain the difficult battle situation. At this time, the British army was on the east bank of the Yangon River, and there were not many troops left.

Just after 8 a.m. on April 8, the artillery battalion of the 14th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army, equipped with 18 105mm light howitzers, began to fire heavily on British positions on the east bank of the Yangon River. The artillery of the remaining three infantry brigades of the 14th Infantry Corps also opened fire. The heavy shelling completely plunged the British positions on the east bank of the Yangon River into a sea of fire.

At this time, George. Lieutenant General Pollock realized that the Chinese* army was about to attack from the west. However, he already had no extra troops in his hands. The rest of the troops were also caught up in street fighting in the city, and there was no extra force to reinforce the 43rd Division.

At 9 a.m., under the cover of artillery, the 14th Infantry Brigade of the 50th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army began to cross the river. Although the 50th Infantry Brigade was not a specialized Marine brigade, it was simply unable to stop the 50th Infantry Brigade when the British were empty and under heavy shelling. At a very small cost, the 50th Infantry Brigade crossed the Yangon River and attacked Rangoon from the west.

The British 43rd Infantry Division, stationed east of the Yangon River, could not stop the attack of the 50th Brigade of the Chinese Army, not to mention the 68th Infantry Brigade and the 86th Infantry Brigade behind the 50th Brigade. At noon that day, the British 43rd Infantry Division had to retreat to Rangoon due to heavy losses, while the Chinese* army attacked Rangoon from two directions. (To be continued......)
