"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A major battle was fought outside Kabul, and three infantry corps of the 7th Army of the Imperial Army laid siege to the 17th Infantry Corps of the British Army, as well as parts of the Anglo-Indian army. Although, the total strength of the British army and the Anglo-Indian army together is more than 60,000 people. The three infantry corps of the 7th Army of the Imperial Army, which attacked, were only more than 100,000 men. However, neither the British nor the Anglo-Indian army could compare with the Chinese* army, either in terms of morale or will to fight.

This put the British and Anglo-Indian armies at an absolute disadvantage as soon as the battle began. The fierce attack of the Imperial Army made it impossible for the British and Indian troops to resist. You can't let those British and British and Indian troops go hungry to war, right?

The whole battle is almost one-sided. Under the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, the British army was defeated one after another. Even many desperate British troops surrendered directly to the Imperial Army without any resistance.

"General, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, please make a decision quickly!" A major general officer said anxiously to Lieutenant General Ross.

"What can I do now? Those damned Afghans actually betrayed us. They actually fell to the Chinese, our back road has been cut off, it can be said that the ammunition is exhausted, how can we resist the attack of the Chinese? Lieutenant General Ross said helplessly.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the British. The annihilation of the 17th Infantry Corps of the British Army was almost a foregone conclusion.

The next day, two other infantry corps of the Imperial Army's 7th Army also emerged from the Hindu Kush Mountains and joined the siege of the British army, which directly made the British army struggle to support.

"Someone. A telegram was sent in the direction of Calcutta that our troops had run out of ammunition and food. I can't hold it anymore. The Chinese attacked very fiercely, in order to save the lives of the boys. I can only give the order to surrender to the Chinese! Lieutenant General Ross ordered the communications officer.

When the telegram was sent to Calcutta, Lieutenant General Ross ordered the British Army to cease fighting and surrender to the Chinese Army.

When the lieutenant general of the 17th Infantry Corps of the British Army handed over his rifle to Lieutenant General Zhou Hao, commander of the 7th Army of the Imperial Army, the fighting in the Kingdom of Afghanistan was over. The 7th Army of the Imperial Army, in just half a month, annihilated the 17th Infantry Corps of the British Army, the 3rd and 5th Armies of the Anglo-Indian Army. In addition, more than 100,000 Afghan troops were annihilated. However, now that the Afghan royal palace has staged a coup d'état, it has become a lackey of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire, of course, will no longer pursue the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Those captured Canada of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. All of them were released. The empire also needs these Afghan royal palace troops to maintain the logistical supply lines of the imperial army.

Kolkata, the largest city in eastern India, was the commander of the Anglo-Indian Army. Admiral Campbell is on a hot struggling front. Originally, before the war began, he thought that a qiē would be very smooth. However, the situation of returning from the battlefield everywhere was very unoptimistic, which made the officers of the entire headquarters inevitably rise a trace of despair in their hearts. If you don't get it right. They will most likely lose this war.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from Chittagong. General Albert reported that the army led by General Charles had been routed by the Chinese and was now retreating to Dhaka. He will lead his troops to find a way to resist the attack of the Chinese. Your Excellency the Commander, please do your best to give him reinforcements! "A staff officer asked Colin . Admiral Campbell reported.

"Hell! What did Charles do with that guy? He had seven armies and 350,000 men. How was it defeated by the Chinese so quickly? "Colin. Admiral Campbell roared angrily. He knew that the Chinese Army was in that direction. There are just over 200,000 people. Moreover, the British and Anglo-Indian armies also had strong fortifications to rely on. Even if you can't withstand the attacks of the Chinese, you can hold out for at least a few months! But. In only half a month, all the defensive lines have been breached, and even Chittagong has been threatened. In this case, the entire eastern war situation will be completely eroded.

"General, Vice Admiral Charles claims that the Chinese navy has completely destroyed the coastal defenses. The troops suffered heavy losses and simply could not stop the Chinese. It was from the coast that the Chinese attacked and tore our defense line apart! A junior officer said.

The failure to take into account the threat of the Chinese Navy from the sea was undoubtedly the main reason for the defeat of the British army. An impregnable line of defense for the army, but in the face of the large-caliber naval guns of the navy, it is like a piece of paper. This led directly to the British Army's defensive line to be quickly breached. In addition, the army led by Lieutenant General Charles was as high as 350,000 men. However, in addition to the 18th Infantry Corps of the British Army, which he directly under him, has strong combat effectiveness, the other six armies are all British and Indian armies. The combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian army is very rubbish, and if it is a tailwind battle, they may be able to show that they are very brave. However, as soon as they fell into a bitter battle, they were completely finished.

"Order General Albert to find a way to hold Chittagong. Resist the attack of the Chinese there, and I will send reinforcements to him as much as possible!" "Colin. Admiral Campbell said. Even though the current situation is very unfavorable, what he can do is to maintain the situation as much as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be even more dire.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded, turned and went to deliver the order.

"General, Your Excellency the Governor is here!" A junior officer walked up to Colin. Admiral Campbell's side, whispered.

"Why is the Governor here?" Colin. Admiral Campbell frowned. However, he immediately tidied up his military uniform and prepared to greet him. In any case, as the viceroy of India, the Marquis of Dalhousie was his immediate superior.

When Colin. When Admiral Campbell was about to greet him, the Marquis of Dalhousie had already walked directly into his office. However, the Marquis of Dalhousie had a calm face, and was obviously in a very bad mood.

"General, I heard that the battle situation on the front line is very bad?" The Marquis of Dalhousie asked straight to the point.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The defensive line we deployed in the east has been broken and the army is now retreating to Chittagong. We are ready to defend ourselves against the Chinese in Chittagong. "Colin. Admiral Campbell said truthfully. He knew that the Marquis of Dalhousie also had many eyes and ears in the Anglo-Indian army, and it was not something he could deceive.

"What's going on? The defense line we painstakingly built was broken through in such a short period of time? The Marquis of Dalhousie was furious. You know, in order to build that line of defense, the entire Indian colonial administration paid a huge price. India does not produce steel and cement for the construction of the defense line, and all the materials are shipped from the country. Now, that line of defense has been lightly broken through by the Chinese.

"Your Excellency the Governor, our troops have done their best. However, the advantages of the Chinese are too obvious. They mobilized a large number of warships to launch an artillery attack from the sea, and directly destroyed our defense line with the main guns of the battleships. After the defense line was destroyed, the Chinese took advantage of the situation to attack our defense. The combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian army, you must also know. How could they possibly hold out after the line of defense had been breached? This directly led to a big defeat at the front! "Colin. Admiral Campbell replied. Obviously, he was also very speechless about this result.

"Bastard! Those damn indigenous Indians, they really can't be trusted! The Marquis of Dalhousie cursed secretly.

Of course, the British never thought that the Indian natives could rely on it, but when there was no way, they had to rely on the Indian natives. Originally, I thought that the indigenous Indians would be able to exert a little combat effectiveness. In this way, a large army can be recruited from among the 200 million Indians. This makes it possible for them to drag out the war until the European battlefield is decided, even if they can't defeat the Chinese* army.

It's a pity that the Anglo-Indian army's cousin is too rubbish.

"General, will we be able to hold Chittagong? If Chittagong is breached again, the whole of eastern India will not be protected. In addition, Kolkata will also be greatly threatened. The Marquis of Dalhousie asked. Once the Chinese* army invades Bengal, then Kolkata is not far away. Although, the British army also deployed heavy troops in Calcutta. However, judging from the table on the battlefield before, the combat power of those armies is really worrying! Whether he can keep Calcutta, the Marquis of Dalhousie is really not confident!

"Your Excellency the Governor, our total strength in Calcutta has reached more than 400,000 men. The attacking Chinese* army had only about 200,000 men. We also have absolute superiority in troops. As long as the Chinese army does not continue to increase its troops, we should be able to withstand them in Chittagong! "Colin. Admiral Campbell said.

The Marquis of Dalhousie nodded, he understood that Colin. Admiral Campbell meant that if the Chinese* army continued to increase its troops, then it would probably not be able to hold it.

"How's our second mobilization going now? How many troops can be sent to the front? The Marquis of Dalhousie asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the mobilization of the second batch is very unsmooth. The princely states of India refused to send troops. So far, we have urgently recruited 400,000 people, and these 400,000 people have been divided into eight corps, four of which have been trained and can be sent to the front. The other 4 armies still need to go through a period of training! "Colin. Admiral Campbell said.

"Damn it, those damn Indian maharajas, what do they want?" The Marquis of Dalhousie suddenly had a bad premonition. (To be continued......)
