Chapter 1206: The End of Colonial Domination
"Kill! Kill all those white-skinned pigs! "A small squad of Japanese mercenary soldiers rushed towards one of the firing points of the Anglo-Indian Army Chapter 128 regimental army. With the British machine-gun fire, several Japanese mercenary soldiers who rushed to the front were hit and fell to the ground, but more Japanese mercenary soldiers took the opportunity to rush forward and accurately threw the grenades in their hands into the British and Indian firepower.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded, killing and wounding several British and Indian soldiers inside! For those British soldiers, it may be a relief to be killed on the spot, but those British soldiers who were injured by the explosion are unlucky! The Japanese mercenaries rushed forward and tortured these British soldiers to death with bayonets or daggers in their hands! And they have stripped them of all their valuable belongings! These Japanese mercenary soldiers will not take into account the begs of these British!
With the support of the heavy artillery units of the Chinese 6th Army and the air force, forty divisions of the Japanese mercenaries were engaged in Gujranwala, fighting with the main force of the Anglo-Indian army, the 128th Regimental Army, for control of the city. Although the 128th Regiment of the Anglo-Indian Army was all composed of British, it was also very well armed and equipped, at least much better than the Japanese mercenaries. However, in the case of complete adversity, the morale of the Anglo-Indian Army Chapter 128 Regiment was greatly affected, which severely restricted their combat power. However, the Japanese mercenaries are fighting more and more fiercely, and the Indian cities that the Chinese side promised to fight can be looted by them, even the Indian capital Delhi is no exception, which greatly stimulates the soldiers of these Japanese mercenaries, making them even more desperate when they start the war, in this situation, the British and Indian Army Chapter 128 regimental army has the advantage of strength and weapons, but it is still defeated and retreated!
As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and the Japanese mercenaries are carried away by the wealth of the Indians at the moment! After Japan was occupied by China and a pro-Chinese government was established with Chinese support, Japan's heavy industry was devastated, and the few industries that were left were mostly polluting enterprises. Many of Japan's goods need to be imported from China, which makes the Japanese economy very bad. Most young Japanese people have to go to China to work to support their families. Most of the young Japanese women go to China to work in the service industry, and some lucky, young and beautiful women have the hope of marrying Chinese, whether as lovers or concubines, it is much better than staying in Japan to suffer. The Japanese men, on the other hand, are engaged in the hardest and most dangerous occupations in China. And joining the mercenaries and fighting on the battlefield with the squadron, because of the high allowances and bonuses, as well as the lucrative captures on the battlefield, became the most attractive place for these young Japanese men. Almost every time a mercenary is recruited, large and small recruitment points are crowded with the Japanese. It's just that even so far, the total strength of the Japanese mercenaries recruited is only 1.5 million, which is far from enough for the tens of millions of Japanese who are crazy and poor. Even though the death rate of Japanese mercenaries is very high, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of these Japanese to join the mercenaries. For them, it is better to fight than to die in poverty, as long as they can survive until the end of the war, then they will be able to accumulate a lot of money and become masters by virtue of their allowances, bonuses, and looted on the battlefield!
India was originally a rich land, and even after more than 100 years of acquisition by the British, it still had great wealth. The Chinese 6th Army promised that the Japanese mercenaries could rob in India, and that the Japanese would be stationed as a Chinese garrison in India for a period of time, which further stimulated these Japanese mercenaries, and they started a war, which can be described as crazy. In such a situation, the Anglo-Indian army will suffer!
When the Japanese mercenaries and the 128th chapter regimental army of the Anglo-Indian Army were fighting in the city of Gujranwala, the main armored force of the Chinese 6th Army also cooperated with other units of the 6th Army to launch a fierce attack on several other group armies of the Anglo-Indian Army. At this time, the British and Indian armies were completely shrouded in the pessimism of defeat, except for Chapter 128, when the regimental army was still insisting on fighting, the morale of the rest of the group armies fell to the freezing point, if it weren't for the reprimands and bullets of those British officers, maybe they would have become deserters a long time ago. But in such a situation, it is simply delusional to want these Japanese mercenaries to show how much combat power they want. Often when the Chinese 6th Army began to attack, they raised their hands and surrendered to the Chinese 6th Army! If the Chinese 6th Army can accept their surrender, they will be able to save their lives, which is better than being shot by the Chinese 6th Army on the battlefield! Even some British officers voluntarily surrendered to the squadron because they could not bear the huge pressure. This greatly added to the defeat of the Anglo-Indian army!
The fierce battle lasted until December 7, the battle outside the city of Gujranwala was basically over, except for the Anglo-Indian Army Chapter 128 Regiment Army, most of the other groups chose to surrender to the squadron, the total number of Anglo-Indian troops who surrendered reached more than 2 million, and the total number of Anglo-Indian troops who were really shot on the battlefield was probably less than 100,000, and there were also many Indian A-3 who took advantage of the chaos to escape. They feared that they would be treated badly after surrendering to the squadron, so they took advantage of the chaos and fled the battlefield. The total strength of the Anglo-Indian army was too much, and the squadron could not do everything. Although there were cavalry brigades chasing and killing the fleeing Anglo-Indian troops around Gujranwala, the cavalry brigade only had a few thousand men in total, and it was impossible to completely kill all the fleeing Anglo-Indian troops. According to post-war statistics, the total number of British and Indian troops who escaped from this war was as high as 300,000 or 400,000, and these Indian Asans who fled had weapons in their hands, which had a great impact on the stability of India in the future. Therefore, after the end of the war, the Chinese 6th Army, with the cooperation of Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries, carried out a clean-up of those Indian Asan, who had weapons. Many Indian Asans died in this purge, India's wealth was also looted by China, and India's population fell sharply in this action!
Gujranwala, the headquarters of the 128th chapter regimental army of the Anglo-Indian army, the commander of the Anglo-Indian army, General Kitchener, had a dead gray face and his eyes were full of despair. The British and Indian armies have tens of millions of troops, but in the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese 6th Army, they were still quickly defeated! Even those armies composed entirely of the British could not withstand the blows of the Chinese 6th Army or even the Japanese mercenaries recruited by the Chinese 6th Army.
At this moment, several other army commanders sent telegrams to him. After a large number of Indian Asans surrendered to the Chinese 6th Army, they also had to choose to surrender. Now, only the 128th chapter regimental army of the Anglo-Indian Army is still fighting! However, they had lost most of the control of Gujranwala at this moment, and only a small half of the city was still under their control, and under the attack of the Japanese mercenaries, the 128th chapter regimental army of the British and Indian army suffered heavy losses! It's only a matter of time before they're wiped out!
"General, the attack of those Japanese dwarfs is very fierce, and we can't resist their attack!" Lieutenant General de Frerell, chief of staff of the Anglo-Indian Army, said with a dejected face. The fact that they had been defeating a large-scale battle in such a short period of time was very difficult for them to accept. It's just that the reality is right in front of them, and they can't help but accept it!
"Chapter 128: Can the regimental army still hold on?" Admiral Kitchener asked. His voice was very low, and it was obvious that this fiasco hit him very harshly!
"General, although the 128th regimental army can continue to fight. But several other army groups were either annihilated or had already surrendered to the Chinese. Now the Chinese army has surrounded Gujranwala, and those Japanese dwarfs are attacking us like desperate, and our casualties are very large! If the Chinese also attack us, we will be defeated very quickly! Lieutenant General de Frell said!
"Defrel, at this stage of the war, do you think there is still hope for us?" Admiral Kitchener asked suddenly.
Lieutenant General de Frell gritted his teeth, but did not say a word. However, it can already be seen from his expression that he has no confidence in the future of the Anglo-Indian army. In this battle, the British and Indian armies were already defeated! The tens of millions of troops lost most of their lives in less than two months of fighting. And the losses of the Chinese 6th Army were minimal. Under such circumstances, there was no hope for the Anglo-Indian army. And the British colonial rule in India for more than 100 years will also come to an end!
"I see, De Frerell, we've lost this battle completely! The glory of the British Empire is finally lost in our hands! Give the order to the regimental army in Chapter 128, let them lay down their arms and surrender to the Chinese! General Kitchener of the Anglo-Indian Army finally said. At this point in the war, the defeat of the British and Indian armies was already assured, and the continuation of the war would only increase the casualties, and it would only increase the casualties of the British. As the commander of the Anglo-Indian army, he had the responsibility to minimize the casualties of the troops as much as possible and bring these British boys home!
Under the orders of General Kitchener, the remaining 300,000 officers and soldiers of the 128th Chapter 128 Regiment of the British and Indian Army laid down their arms one after another and surrendered to the Chinese 6th Army. And their surrender also marked the end of the Punjab Battle this time. The defeat of this battle directly led to the complete end of British colonial rule in India! rs
