"General Philip, the Chinese are advancing too fast, and they are about to hit Shillong! If we stick to Shillong, we don't have the slightest chance of winning! We must take the initiative and destroy all the enemies on the eastern road at Djovay first, so that we can ensure the victory of this battle! Lieutenant General Christopher said to the commander of the 28th Army, Lieutenant General Philip. (May Chinese 5.com)

At this moment, the commanders of the four group armies were all gathered in the conference room, but the commander of the 26th Army, Lieutenant General David, and the commander of the 27th Army, Lieutenant General Renat, had lost their right to speak, and their troops had basically lost all their losses in the previous battle. And now in Xilong, only the 25th Army and the 28th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army still retain their complete structure.

"General Christopher, we took the initiative to attack the Chinese? Is it possible to win? Lieutenant General Philip frowned. Although after the start of the battle, the 28th Army has not fought with the squadron until now. But through the tragic experience of the 26th Army and the 27th Army, he can see the strength of the squadron. If there was a fight, he would not be sure of victory.

"General Philip, we have no other way now! If we wait until the Chinese attack Shillong from both the east and the west, we will not have the slightest chance of winning! At that time, we will have to face hundreds of thousands of Chinese. Now in Djovay, there are only 400,000 squadrons. And half of them are North Korean mercenaries with slightly less combat effectiveness. As long as we can defeat or even eat this squadron. We have a good chance of winning! Lieutenant General Christopher tried his best to persuade him. He knew that if he wanted to eat the squadron in Djowai, it would be impossible to rely on his 25th Army alone, and he would have to have the full cooperation of the 28th Army.

"This ......!" Lieutenant General Philip hesitated. He took the initiative to attack the heavy group of the squadron, which he never thought about. With his knowledge of the combat strength of the Anglo-Indian army, if the squadron did not come to attack them, they should thank God for blessing. Take the initiative to provoke the Chinese. What's the difference between that and looking for death! If you hold on to Shillong, you may be able to retreat if the battle situation is unfavorable. But if you take the initiative to attack the squadron, there may be no chance to escape. This is somewhat difficult for Lieutenant General Philip, who has always been cautious, to accept.

"General Philip, we have a good chance of winning. The Chinese had fewer troops in Djowai and were not elite. If we eat this squadron first, then we have a good chance of winning in this battle. At that time, whether we continue to fight the Chinese or choose to retreat, we will have more room to turn around. At least. After this victory, Admiral Kitchener will not blame us anymore! Lieutenant General Christopher said. Now the Anglo-Indian army is constantly being defeated by the squadron. If they can win, they will surely be heroes in the Anglo-Indian army. And their careers will be brighter because of this. Now, the distance between the Southern Route Army and the Northern Route Army of the second cluster of the Chinese Army varied from Shillong, which gave the Anglo-Indian army an excellent opportunity. As long as you can seize this opportunity, you may be able to take the opportunity to defeat the squadron and occupy a certain advantage.

Of course, there is another extremely important factor that Lieutenant General Christopher has not taken into account. If the 25th Army under his command and the 28th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Philip were both units composed of British soldiers, then his strategic intentions were highly likely to be realized. However, the troops under their command are all composed of lazy Indian Asan. These Indian Ah San, who have just put down their hoes and joined the army, don't want to compare them with the British soldiers. If you want to rely on one million Indian A-3 to eat 400,000 squadrons, even if 200,000 of them are North Korean mercenaries, and the other 200,000 squadrons are new units formed after the war, but this is still impossible.

"Well, General Christopher, do as you say! We can fight, maybe there is a real chance to defeat the Chinese! Lieutenant General Philip was also impressed. Although he is now a lieutenant general, they were all sent to India from the British, and many of them have been promoted by one or even two levels after arriving in India. However, their rank was only valid in the Anglo-Indian Army, and was not recognized in the British Army. If they want to keep the current military salary permanently, or even go further, then they must obtain the merits of war. What could be more effective than defeating the Chinese and annihilating a large number of Chinese?

"Haha! General Philip, don't worry, our two armies work together, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese. Lieutenant General Christopher was overjoyed. With the support of the 28th Army, the chances of his plan winning were much greater.

"General David, General Renate, we use the 25th Army and the 28th Army to destroy the Chinese forces in Djowai. Then, Shillong's defense will be handed over to you! I hope that before we eat the squadron in Djowai, you will be able to keep another squadron at Shillong! Lieutenant General Christopher said. In order to prevent another unit of the squadron from rushing to the battlefield and disrupting their attack on Djowai, then it was necessary to resist the squadron at Shillong. And this task can only be handed over to the 26th Army and the 27th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army, which only have more than 100,000 remnants left. In the opinion of Lieutenant General Christopher, with the help of Shillong's fortifications, it is still very likely to complete the combat mission of blocking the squadron for a day or two.

"General Christopher, there are also 300,000 Chinese in the west, and there are only about 100,000 left in our two armies combined, if you want us to resist their attack, how is that possible?" Lieutenant General David immediately shook his head and refused to accept the task.

"General David, you only need to buy us three days. As long as we win, we won't forget you two for the final credit! Lieutenant General Christopher said. He knew that if Lieutenant General David and Lieutenant General Renate were willing to assist them, they would have to share the credit, and it would be impossible to eat alone if they wanted to eat alone.

Lieutenant General David and Lieutenant General Renate pondered for a moment, and finally nodded heavily. As the so-called wealth is in danger, now that there is such an opportunity, it cannot be allowed to slip away. Anyway, if those Indian natives are used to fight the squadron, even if they fail, there will be no loss for them.

"Haha! That's it! I believe that our four armies will work together and the final victory will definitely be ours. As a sign of sincerity, the 25th Army would immediately send four corps to attack Djowai, with the remaining troops to follow. In this battle, I hope that everyone can show all their strength and must find a way to defeat the Chinese! Lieutenant General Christopher said with a smile, as if he had seen the Goddess of Victory lift her skirt towards him, and victory seemed to be in sight!

Two hours later, the Anglo-Indian 251st, 252nd, 253rd, and 254th Armies left Shillong and marched towards Djowai. Subsequently, the rest of the Anglo-Indian 25th Army and the 28th Army also began to march on Djowai. All the fortifications near Shillong were abandoned, and the fortifications in the city were taken over by the Anglo-Indian 26th and 27th armies. In order to win this war, the four armies of the British and Indian armies have begun to unite and cooperate. It's just that it's hard to say whether they will win as they hoped!

Giovania, a small town located in the northern foothills of the Kasi Mountains, is only twenty kilometers from Shillong. After arriving here, the Chinese Army's 2nd Cluster Northern Route Army stopped moving on. The Southern Route Army was still forty kilometers away from Xilong, and the commander of the Northern Route Army, Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang, planned to wait until the Southern Route Army approached Xilong, and the two sides would march together to attack Xilong. However, not long after they arrived in Djowai, the reconnaissance force sent back the news that a large number of Anglo-Indian troops had left Shillong and began to march towards Djowai.

"Chief of Staff, the British and Indian troops are menacing, according to the reports of the troops in front, the British and Indian troops are pouring out! The distance of twenty kilometers is only a few hours for the British and Indian troops, and it is expected that by three or four o'clock in the afternoon, they will arrive! Major General Huang Wenzhong, commander of the 211th Division of the Chinese Army, reported to Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang.

"Humph! Those Indian asan treated us like soft persimmons, and wanted to eat us first, and then turn around and deal with them. They're really good at it, but are we so easy to bully? Order all the troops, get ready, since the British and Indian troops have given up holding on to Shillong and want to take the initiative to attack us, then we will fulfill them! Give orders to the North Korean mercenaries and prepare them for battle as well. Also, send a telegram to the Air Force so that they are always ready to support us! Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang ordered. Now he has less than 400,000 mercenaries in his hands, plus the North Korean mercenaries, and he does seem a little weak in the face of millions of British and Indian troops. However, as the defensive side, it has a huge advantage in firepower, which can effectively offset the disadvantage in terms of troops.

"Yes, Chief of Staff! We are ready, those Indian Asans dare to come, and we will teach them a hard lesson! Major General Huang Wenzhong said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll send another telegram to the commander, asking them to step up their attack on Shillong and block the back roads of those Indian Ah San!" Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang said with a smile! (To be continued......)
