Zhou Youfu hurriedly conveyed the same order to each car group through the radio. Unfortunately, even with such clarity and clarity of the commands, the machine gunners had to scramble for a while. The aim requires the driver to push and pull the lever back and forth to barely adjust, and the height has to stick his head behind the barrel and shake the shaker with one hand. It's a twisting move.

In the square in front of the Bank of Calcutta, the rebels were trying to cross the last hurdle, and the Japanese snipers who had infiltrated the city had successfully occupied several commanding heights and helped them knock out the British strongholds around the bank. These excellent gunners who came in from submarines used the newly issued Type 99 sniper rifles and Taisho Type 11 machine guns for accurate point fire.

The British troops entrenched in the fortified bank building and behind sandbags outside were shot by the precise black guns that appeared from time to time, and it became extremely difficult to resist through the front windows. Now the last support point outside the building is two armored vehicles, one of which has been hit by * and is on fire, the fire provides a good light source for the Japanese troops in the distance, and any British troops who bend over behind the barbed wire fence and think they are hidden will leave a long shadow on the bank building. When they stopped, the opportunity was shot. To add to the desperation of the defenders, the guerrillas cut the telephone lines, causing them to lose contact with headquarters. Captain Campbell, who was stationed here, did not know the full plan of the headquarters, and he did not know that the British troops near the Governor's Palace had quietly withdrawn 12 hours earlier. He had wasted time here because of the necessary inventory, and he thought he could leave quietly, but the convoy of trucks lined up in front of the bank was a clear signal that the colonists wanted to take the valuable things with them, so the resistors moved and now blocked him.

Dazzling flares again fell from the sky, which was the signal for a general attack.

300 meters away, dressed in traditional Bengali national costume, Kagesazhen Akira was observing the area with a telescope, and he was also good at military command, obviously facing such a strong fortress and lacking heavy firepower, a frontal assault was inevitable. Hundreds of militiamen, hiding in the streets, rushed out of the shadows, brandishing machetes and shouting towards the Bank of Calcutta, lined up at the front, with lit * in their hands. These people became the priority targets of British firepower.

There were a total of 69 windows in the front of the wide bank, and it was easy to form crossfire, and the resistance was overwhelming, and the attention of the British army was completely attracted to the front, but another group of men and horses that quietly appeared from the side took advantage of the low buildings next to them to get closer, and the bravest of them had already approached the side of the British armored vehicles that were constantly spewing flames. He lit it* and rushed barefoot. The machine-gun turret of the British armored vehicle immediately turned to him, and the soldier gave up the opportunity to dodge, rushed to him without hesitation, and threw *. At the same time that he was hit by a machine gun, * fell behind the armored car, and a ball of flames ignited the hull. He had no idea that what he was fighting for was not the cause of national liberation at all, but gold.

More rebels rushed forward without hesitation, most of them armed with no guns, only axes and knives, and confronted with the colonists' machine guns.

After the defeat of the Great Uprising of 1857, the brutal practice of the British tying the rebels to the cannon for execution really deterred all revolt, so much so that non-violent and uncooperative ideological freaks were born among the intellectual class. Indians have become supple and numb and resigned to fate. They became servants, cooks, gardeners, and stewards for the British, and India's taxes allowed the British Empire to dominate the world.

However, as the peoples of Southeast Asia became independent under the leadership of the Japanese liberators, the facts inspired them to fight again for freedom and equality. The crowd shouted and rushed to the door. Hack to death all the British defenders who remained outside the bank.

Two Japanese demolition consultants braved the fire net to get to the gate, and they brought special *. Specially designed to deal with this heavy gate. Kagezo was as careful as a hair, he had long thought about this 6-inch thick gate, as well as the thicker vault gate inside.

The insurgents hid on either side of the stairs of the gate and watched the flames on a wire creep upwards.

With a loud bang, the metal gate fell backwards, and the last line of British defense was breached.

"For the sake of the Mahatma!" Someone stood up and raised their arms and shouted. The rest of the people shouted and rushed up the stairs, having long forgotten that the name Mahatma stood for non-violence, and now that name had become the blood-red banner that encouraged them to kill.

The first group to rush into the gate fell under the guns of the British platoon, but the latter still rushed forward one after another, rushing to the front and slashing the British with broadswords.

Holding the binoculars, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao smiled evilly, he felt that the fire was almost over, and he reminded the Indians not to attack the British truck parked on the side of the building, because it was still needed. The Japanese troops on the commanding heights of the tower of the Chase Bank on one side also stopped firing and craned their necks to look at the blazing bank.

At the same time, several cruisers of the advance fleet had reached the sea off Calcutta, and the blazing northern land could already be seen from the bridge. The appearance of this small Japanese fleet intensified the flight of the Allied forces along the coast to the interior. Sun Liren, who was ready to pull out his gun and destroy Chu Tingchang as soon as they met, could only put down the pursuit of the self-propelled guns whose whereabouts were unknown for the time being, and evacuated eastward.

There was a loud bang, and there was a sudden explosion under the tower of Chase & Co. The two Japanese soldiers who occupied it were not hit, but were swept into the air by the air wave and fell.

Zhou Youfu observed with a telescope a kilometer away and found that the landing point was a little low, which was no way, after all, he used the cannon barrel to aim, obviously aiming at the tower, and fell at least 2 meters below. Then his eyes turned to the building on the other side, and after waiting for a while, he was also hit by 105 shells, these shells are really useful, much more beneficial than Grant's 75 guns, he thought that such a good thing was fortunately not given to Sun Liren.

The rest of the guns opened fire, and the difference in height was inevitable, but all of them hit the buildings. Those sturdy Victorian-style buildings were beaten to the ground for a while.

Pavilion Chief Chu's troops were rapidly approaching. His Sherman, like the Stuart tank group, had no gunners, so he casually found someone to sit in it and charge the course machine gunner, and the guard company carried behind the tank and followed the advance. Although the infantry had no cover, he estimated that the enemy was a rabble and could handle it completely. He himself stood on a Sherman tank, acting as a commander and machine gunner.

The reveling crowd in the square was momentarily stunned by the artillery fire, and the first thing that came to mind was, of course, that the British had counterattacked. Kagesa Zhenzhao noticed that something was wrong, and he could see that this was field artillery-level firepower, that is, at least a brigade was attacking. He hurriedly dragged Nehru downstairs to dodge, at any time, saving his life first was his first choice, he did not think of dying in battle or committing suicide at any time like ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Captain Chu's tank team was rampaging through Kolkata, and he knew the road beforehand and chose the Central Avenue on the east bank of the Hooghly River, which was wide and faced the river, so that he only had to keep an eye on the side with buildings. He didn't know how much money was in the bank, but he estimated that there would always be some gold and silver cash and the like, and if he could take advantage of the chaos, of course it would be the best.

The army made it all the way to the door of the blazing bank, and opened fire with machine guns at the crowd of demons, quickly breaking it up. The tank set up a guard around him, he asked the tanker to drive the tank out of the block, not to be exposed to Zhou Youfu's shooting range, he did not guarantee that he would let Lao Zhou fire again later, and then ordered the guard company to jump off the tank and rush towards the bank gate. Inside, the gunfire continued, indicating that there were still Britons alive.

Chinese soldiers armed with * rushed into the gate and immediately took control of the situation, and hundreds of bandits inside tried to resist, but in front of automatic fire, they were unable to parry.

Within 20 minutes, his company of guards had taken control of the floors. Chu Tingchang learned about the internal security through the radio, jumped out of the tank, and entered the bank under the guard of several guards, he had to check what was inside as soon as possible to satisfy his curiosity. It wouldn't be a bad thing if the British were all dead, so he could do whatever he wanted.

In the aisle, in the hall, there were dead bodies everywhere, both British and Indian, many of them mutilated, which showed how tragic the battle just now was.

A British captain, covered in blood, approached and saluted him.

"Thank you for being here in time, or the vault would have been breached." Campbell said, gesturing to the two bodies that were apparently East Asian, "These Japanese brought *." They clearly have bad intentions. ”

"I have been commissioned by Governor Vivier to come by and rescue friendly troops, the enemy situation is so serious that we must withdraw immediately. May I ask, what's in the vault? Chu Tingchang asked.

"Actually, there is nothing, who will leave cash and precious metals before the enemy attacks and not transport them away?" The Captain sneered, "Actually, the vault is only the British government's debt documents and various collateral certificates, some private custody, most of which are written deeds and contracts, and sixty bags of small silver coins with face values of two to five pence, except for these coins, there is nothing of value at all." The Japanese are really blindsided. ”

"Oh, I see." Chu Tingchang thought to himself, you just blow it with me, sixty bags of small coins, you send armored vehicles to transport them? Are you mentally retarded when I am?

"Your Excellency, I have one more request, can your army stay for a moment and help me fulfill my duty?"

"What duty?" Chu asked.

"I have to get the contents out of the vault." Campbell said decisively.

"The Japanese fleet has arrived, and this place is already within the range of the Japanese battleship guns, since there is nothing of value, let's go quickly. The receipts and coins were left to the Japanese. ”

"No, no, although there are no precious metals, there are many contracts and certificates here, which are related to the national credit of the British Empire, and I must take them."

"How long will it take?"

"About 2 to 3 hours, there are some boxes that need to be moved to the truck. It will be faster if your people help. ”

"So? Allow me to finish the communication with my superiors and see if I have time. ”

Chu hurriedly turned around to the window on the second floor, which was facing Zhou Youfu's troops, and the signal was ideal, he immediately agreed that Zhou Youfu would fire in the direction of the bank in 2 minutes, it didn't matter if it was accurate or not, it would be half a base number, and some space would be ready to be loaded. Don't worry about his own safety, he is absolutely safe in the bank building.

After completing the communication, he hurried downstairs to the captain: "I'm afraid it's too late, the enemy fleet off the coast has taken off seaplanes, and it will soon be shelled, and if the bridge over the Hooghly River is blown up, we won't be able to leave." ”
