At 8 o'clock in the morning of November 10, 1908, the day after the Allied and Allied Powers convened a conference on the battlefield reinforcement of troops on the Russian battlefield, the troops assembled in the southwest region of the Chinese Empire launched a large-scale attack on the British Asian colonies of India, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan, opening up the second land battlefield of the war between the Chinese Empire and the Entente and the Allies in addition to the Russian battlefield.

The attack force of the Chinese Empire is composed of the Fifth Field Army and the Sixth Field Army, as well as 300,000 garrison troops drawn from the southwestern provinces, while the British Army in India, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan has nearly 2 million troops, of which 150,000 are the regular army of the British Army, and nearly 1.85 million are colonial troops formed by the locals. The rhythm of the battle was completely mastered by the attacking forces of the Chinese Empire.

The British colonial forces in Asia, the soldiers and junior officers were all composed of locals, and only the middle and senior officers were British, and the troops were relatively poorly equipped.

Because the British were in a very hurry to expand the colonial army, many soldiers of the colonial army used single-shot rifles, and the colonial army did not have many heavy weapons, and the locals joined the British Army colonial army, just to mix a bite to eat, so that the British Army colonial army was also very weak in the will to fight, which was more prominent in the colonial army composed of Indians.

However, after the Chinese Empire declared war with the Allies and the Central Powers, most of the troops hastily expanded by the British were colonial armies composed of Indians. Priority was also given to the Indian colonial armies, and the armies of the other three colonies were not expanded before the war.

The Fifth Field Army and the Sixth Field Army of the Imperial Chinese Army were from the southern and eastern regions of Tibet, respectively. Launch an offensive against India, which was the focus of the British Army's defense. The vast majority of the British Army's troops in Asia are defending in India, and even the 150,000 regular troops of the British Army in Asia have all stayed in India, but in the face of the attack of the two main field armies of the Royal Chinese Imperial Army, coupled with the air support of the Royal Air Force fighters of the Imperial Chinese Empire, the British Army in India, including those regular troops transferred from the British mainland, cannot bear it. The British Army on the border between India and Tibet was quickly crushed under the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, especially the colonial army formed by the Indians, which was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the two main field armies of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire soon advanced into the hinterland of India.

The British Army has concentrated nearly 1.7 million troops in India, but there are not many troops deployed on the border between India and the Chinese Empire, which is why the two main field armies of the Royal Chinese Army also easily defeated the British troops on the border.

The Tibetan garrison and the garrison troops of the two provinces rushed to Tibet from Sichuan and Qinghai. A total of 100,000 soldiers, divided into two routes, with 70,000 troops all the way, crossed the border between Tibet and Nepal. Launched an attack on the British army in Nepal, with an additional garrison of 30,000 troops along the way, launched a direct attack on the British colony of Bhutan.

Nepal and Bhutan. The British army was not too many, adding up to less than 50,000. Moreover, they were all colonial armies composed of locals, among which the colonial troops composed of Gurkha people in the mountainous areas of Nepal were relatively strong in combat. However, under the powerful firepower of the garrison of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, as well as the blows of the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Army in the air, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Gurkha colonial troops is, it is useless, and the two Royal Army garrison attack troops of the Imperial Chinese Empire, which have superior troops, can almost be described as overwhelming as a bamboo, and if there is no accident, it will not be long before Nepal and Bhutan, the two British colonies bordering the Tibet Province of the Chinese Empire, will fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

The 200,000 garrisons drawn from Yunnan, Guizhou, Funan, Vietnam, and Guangxi provinces of the Chinese Empire set out directly from Yunnan Province and crossed the border between Yunnan Province and Burma to attack the British Army in Burma.

The British Army's troops in Burma are all colonial troops formed by locals, with a lot of troops, adding up to 250,000, but Burma has always been a vassal state of China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now it has replaced the Qing Dynasty as the Chinese Empire of the Celestial Empire, waving troops into Burma, winning the welcome of the local people of all ethnic groups in Burma, many British colonial troops in Burma revolted, Burmese soldiers and junior officers, killed the British middle and senior officers in the army, Welcome the arrival of the Imperial Chinese Army.

In this way, the 200,000 garrison troops of the Chinese Empire entering Burma basically did not have to fight, as long as they advanced all the way to the hinterland of Burma.

After learning that the army of the Chinese Empire had launched a large-scale attack on the four colonies of India, Burma, Nepal and Bhutan in Asia, British Prime Minister Henry Brown, who was far away in London, England. Campbell. Bannavin immediately summoned three of his henchmen in London, War Secretary Henry Wiley, Admiral Fisher, and Foreign Minister Marquess Lansdowne to the British Prime Minister's Mansion at 10 Downing Street in London.

Prime Minister Henry. Campbell. Banervin said in a deep voice to the three henchmen: "Just yesterday at 8 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese Empire has been planning for a long time to attack our Asian India, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan at the same time, and the current war is very unfavorable to our Britain. ”

War Minister Henry Wiley, Navy Minister Fisher and Foreign Minister Marquis Lansdowne already knew about the Chinese Empire's army yesterday and launched an attack on Britain's four Asian colonies, and the war was as expected, there was no suspense, the troops on the border of Britain's four colonies were all easily defeated by the attack forces of the Chinese Empire, after all, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, which had air supremacy, was defeated even by millions of elite land forces of the Entente and the Allied Powers, not to mention the British army dominated by colonial troops.

War Minister Henry Wiley said with a wry smile: "This result is not surprising at all, after all, the army of the Chinese Empire has those fighters that make us helpless, and the troops of the Chinese Empire that launched an attack on our four British colonies this time are all elite, and our colonial armies with backward equipment want to resist such a strong attack, which is tantamount to a fool's dream." ”

Prime Minister Henry. Campbell. Banervin sighed and said: "Although we have long been mentally prepared that once the war in the Asian colonies starts, it will become extremely difficult, but when it really happens, my heart is still very depressed, the four Asian colonies, especially India, are extremely important to our British Empire, and now that the Chinese Empire has launched an attack on these four colonies, our losses will be very huge." However, there is also good news, that Britain, France, and Germany have reached an agreement, that is, to integrate the fighter and air defense weapon technology of Britain, France, and Germany, and to develop new fighters and new air defense weapons as soon as possible to deal with the fighters of the Chinese Empire. ”

War Minister Henry Wiley nodded and said: "This is good news, but it is a pity that the war in the Asian colonies cannot catch up with the application of those new fighters and new air defense weapons, and the air supremacy is still in the hands of the Chinese Imperial Air Force." ”

Prime Minister Henry. Campbell. Banervin asked, "Hasn't the War Office already made a plan for the defense of the Asian colonies?" But looking at the current situation of the war there, it seems that this defensive plan has no effect. ”

War Secretary Henry Wiley said: "Our War Department made a defensive plan for the Asian colonies, focusing on India, and considering the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese Empire, our War Department developed a tactic to avoid its edge, and did not deploy too many troops on the border between India and the Chinese Empire, which is also the reason why the army of the Chinese Empire can easily break through the fortifications of our Indian border and enter our Indian hinterland." ”

After a pause, Henry Willy continued: "According to the situation of the Chinese Imperial Army's entry into India, as well as our original plan, the War Department has planned to conduct two battles in Islamabad and Dhaka, India, to concentrate troops in these two cities to stop the footsteps of the Chinese Imperial Army. ”

Casher, the admiral next to him, asked, "What about our other three British colonies in Asia?" The War Department only planned a defense against India, what about Burma, Nepal and Bhutan? ”

Henry Willy shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "In the face of the powerful Chinese Empire, as well as the situation of our Asian Army, our War Department can only make a trade-off, Burma, Nepal and Bhutan can only give up temporarily, of course, it is not completely abandoned, and the colonial troops on the three colonies will also resist the army of the Chinese Empire." ”

Prime Minister Henry. Campbell. Banervin pondered for a moment and said: "It is also a good way to avoid the Chinese Imperial Army, but Islamabad and Dhaka in India are not far from the border, why doesn't the War Department move the location of the battle back, wouldn't that be a greater logistical pressure on the Chinese Imperial Army?" ”

Henry Willy smiled bitterly and said: "First of all, the two cities of Islamabad and Dhaka are not small in size, and they are located in the main transportation routes, which are suitable for urban defense warfare, and the reason why we do not fight farther away from the border is that we don't want India to be too seriously damaged by the army of the Chinese Empire, after all, India is very important to our British Empire."
