"Da Da Da!" A Type 07 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun is firing wildly, the muzzle is shining with a red flame, a long chain of bullets, all of which are used up in less than half a minute, and the sound of the heavy machine gun when firing is similar to tearing oilcloth makes people feel a little numb in the scalp when they hear it. With a maximum rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute, the Type 07 heavy machine gun can destroy a large caliber of 12.7mm bullets lightly, and if the human body is hit, it can be directly cut in two.

"Ahh Yes! Screams continued to be heard among the British and Indian troops, and many soldiers were killed or hit by bullets, and then fell to the ground, letting out a dying wail. Under the order of Lieutenant General Christopher, commander of the 25th Army of the British and Indian Army, the British and Indian troops went forward to attack the positions of the 211th Infantry Division of the Chinese Army. Blood flowed from the bodies of the dead Indian Ahsan, seeping into the dirt and staining the ground reddish-brown.

"Boom!" A heavy machine gun, which was firing at high speed, suddenly exploded. The red barrel exploded, injuring the two heavy machine gunners in the back. This also made the firepower of this section suddenly stagnate.

"Hurry up and change the barrel! Dog's day, those Indian Asans are coming up! The wounded heavy machine gunner shouted loudly, ignoring his injuries.

The attack of the British and Indian troops was very fierce, and under the deterrence of the warlords, many Indian Asan were not afraid of death to attack the position of the squadron. The squadron relied on strong firepower. It caused great damage to the Anglo-Indian army. But at the same time. The loss of its own weapons is also very large. Regardless of whether the machine gun or artillery is blown up due to excessive fire. Not only did it hurt its own soldiers, but it also caused the fire on the defensive line to gradually go down. And that gave those Anglo-Indian troops a chance. Several times the British and Indian troops rushed to the front of the squadron's defense, but were blown back by grenades thrown from the trenches.

"Division commander, the offensive of the Indian Ah San is too fierce, and the losses in the frontline positions are very large. Several sections of defense were almost broken through by those Indian Asan! A colonel regimental commander reported to Major General Huang Wenzhong. Only one infantry regiment was deployed on the five-kilometer defensive line, and the three infantry regiments under the 211th Division took turns defending the line against the Anglo-Indian attack. But even so, in the middle of an afternoon of fighting. The losses of the 211th Division were not small, especially when it was almost broken through by the British and Indian troops several times, and the 211th Division suffered great losses in order to drive the British and Indian troops back. Of course, compared to their results, this loss of the 211th Division was completely disproportionate.

"Let the North Koreans go up and prepare to launch a counter-charge! After repelling the attack of the Indian Ahsan, we are behind! The 212th Division in the back should also be ready! Major General Huang Wenzhong ordered. While the 211th Division was fighting hard with the British and Indian forces, the subsequent infantry divisions were also deploying their positions. Prepare to block the Anglo-Indian army. The Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang, gave an order for the Anglo-Indian army to shed all its blood before it reached Djowai. When the time comes. The second group of the Chinese Army, the Northern Route Army, launched a counterattack and completely defeated the British and Indian forces.

"Rush! Kill all those Chinese and drive them out of India! "The soldiers of the British and Indian armies braved the rain of bullets and bravely charged the position of the squadron. One by one, Indian Ahsan fell to the ground, but more Indian Ahsan took the opportunity to rush up.

"North Korean mercenaries, attack!" When the Anglo-Indian troops rushed to less than a hundred meters from the position of the 211th Infantry Division, Lieutenant General Huang Wenzhong gave the order to counterattack.

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of North Korean mercenaries rushed towards the British and Indian troops with rifles loaded with bayonets. Although the North Koreans are not tall, they are still relatively tall compared to those Indian Asan, who have been malnourished for a long time. In addition, the North Korean mercenaries have been systematically trained, and their combat power is far from being comparable to that of India's Asan. Therefore, when the casualties of the North Korean mercenaries were killed, those Indian Asansans were defeated one after another. In the fierce white-knuckle battle, one North Korean mercenary was even able to easily overthrow two or more Indian Asan.

After the Korean mercenaries repelled the attack of the British and Indian troops, the 211th Infantry Division had calmly retreated. After several hours of fighting, the officers and men of the 211th Division were very tired. A kilometer away is the position of the 212th Division. The 212th Division was also ready, just waiting for the British and Indian troops to collide with it, and the head of the collision was bleeding!

The British and Indian troops killed by the Korean mercenaries were defeated one after another, and the more than 20,000 British and Indian troops who attacked were beaten back to their positions, and then the Korean mercenaries retreated with a swagger, and the British and Indian troops did not even dare to launch a pursuit. Such a result directly made Lieutenant General Christopher, commander of the 25th Army of the British and Indian Army, angry enough. At the same time, he also realized that this time the battle seemed to be different from what he had expected before!

After the retreat of the 211th Division of the Chinese Army, the Anglo-Indian troops captured the original defense line of the 211th Division. However, Lieutenant General Christopher was not happy at all. In order to take this line of defense, the British and Indian troops paid heavy casualties for it. The 251st Anglo-Indian Army was almost crippled, and the losses of the 252nd Army, which was put into attack behind, were not small. Although there is no exact number, Lieutenant General Christopher was probably able to guess that the Anglo-Indian army had lost at least 40,000 men in order to take this line.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "As soon as the soldiers of the British and Indian Army entered the position of the 211th Division of the Chinese Army, artillery shells fell from the sky and fell into the ranks of the British and Indian troops, and the British and Indian soldiers who were blown up turned on their backs.

"Bastard! Attack, keep attacking! Lieutenant General Christopher had no choice but to order his troops to continue the offensive. There was no way, those Indian Ah San had to hold their rifles and continue to attack the squadron's dense fire defense line, and then leave behind corpses in one place.

Soon the night will be in charge, and Lieutenant General Christopher originally wanted to plan a night attack, so that the firepower of the squadron would be limited. However, the squadron was very vigilant and often fired flares, making it impossible for the British and Indian troops to carry out sneak attacks. In addition, North Korean mercenaries will be organized from time to time to set out from the positions to conduct searches, so that they can detect the sneak attacks of the British and Indian troops in time. Although the consequence of this is that those North Korean mercenaries who go out to search will only have a dead end once they find the British and Indian troops, it effectively prevents the British and Indian troops from attempting to sneak attack.

The Anglo-Indian army launched several attacks on the defensive line of the 212th Division of the Chinese Army, but they were all repulsed. In the end, Lieutenant General Christopher had to give up his plan to rely on night raids to break through the defense line of the squadron and honestly fight a war of attrition with the squadron.

On 18 November, the Anglo-Indian army, after inflicting heavy casualties, finally attacked under the city of Djowai. However, the squadron had already built a whole set of fortifications in Djowai. Although most of these fortifications were hastily constructed, they were still impregnable to the Anglo-Indian army, which lacked heavy firepower. The Anglo-Indian army had to pay a heavy price for every step forward.

Subsequently, the Anglo-Indian 25th Army and the 28th Army launched a fierce attack. The British and Indian troops, who lacked heavy weapons, could not break through the defense line of the squadron at all, but hit their heads in front of the defense line of the squadron and broke their blood. Fighters from the 1st Wing of the Chinese Air Force also rushed to help in the battle, and the aviation machine gun in the nose of the F5 'Haidongqing' fighter plane fired at a single blow, breaking a large number of British and Indian soldiers in two. And the H5 'Hongyan' fighter with a large bomb load, every bomb drop made the British and Indian troops pay a heavy price. The British and Indian forces were numerous and gathered together, which undoubtedly became the focus of the Chinese Air Force. With every bomb dropped, the head can take countless lives. The British and Indian forces, lacking anti-aircraft weapons, were simply unable to pose a threat to the warplanes in the sky. Even the huge H5 'Hongyan' fighter dared to drop to an altitude of 500 meters above the ground to drop bombs, let alone the F5 'Haidongqing' fighter and the FH5 'Falcon' dive bomber.

On November 19, Lieutenant General Christopher, who had lost a red eye, forced the British and Indian troops to continue the offensive in the face of the dense air and ground fire of the squadron. However, apart from leaving behind corpses in one place, their attack had almost no results, at most it made the squadron's ammunition consumption relatively large. Even if it is not easy to supply the Jaintia hills, it is still impossible to defeat the squadron in this way!

At the same time, after two days of hurrying, the second group of the Chinese Army's Southern Route Army also arrived in Xillong and began to attack Shillong, and more than 100,000 remnants of the Anglo-Indian Army's 26th Army and the 27th Army left behind in Shillong were defeated and resisted. However, their resistance was so fragile in front of the squadron. The squadron, with the support of powerful artillery and air force fire, smoothly broke through the defense line of the British and Indian troops on the periphery of Shillong. On the afternoon of November 19, the squadron entered Shillong City.

After the outer defense line was broken through by the squadron, the will of the British and Indian troops in the city to resist was even weaker. Originally, the remnants of the 26th Army and the 27th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army were the troops defeated by the squadron, and it was impossible to expect them to resist the attack of the squadron.

By evening, after several hours of fierce fighting, the remnants of the Anglo-Indian 26th and 27th armies had been almost completely lost. Lieutenant General David and Lieutenant General Renate hurriedly sent a telegram asking for help to Lieutenant General Christopher, and then abandoned Shillong and fled with the remnants of his troops!
