Zhou Youfu's tank company also observed peculiar explosions on enemy positions, because the warheads of these self-detonating vehicles exceeded 50 kilograms, and each explosion was particularly spectacular. It is believed that if someone stands within a few tens of meters of the perimeter, it will be difficult to escape such a killing.

The tankers did not know what the Japanese had come up with, and the head of the car ordered to slow down, put his head out at the risk of death, and searched carefully. They knew that this was the time when vision was most needed, but the chances of seeing the cold gunner first were slim. The Japanese were very good at attacking the commander and driver of the car with cold gunners. Fortunately, the tank went all the way and nothing happened.

When the company commander took the lead in passing through the enemy's preset position, he saw scattered Japanese corpses, scattered in all directions, smoking, and huge, smoky craters as if they had been attacked by naval artillery. What's going on? He couldn't understand it, so he could only strengthen his vigilance and continue to move at a low pace. He had also seen the deep crater left by the self-detonating car when it attacked his own tank, and it was obvious that the explosion power was about the same compared to the crater here.

The infantry fighting vehicles in the rear quickly approached from the road, the infantry got out of the car and quickly searched the enemy position, and found that this was a peculiar unit, without any heavy machine guns and mortars, most of the dead soldiers did not even have rifles, they surrounded the pit, it seemed that they committed suicide en masse, and there were many metal fragments on all sides. It is not uncommon for Japanese people to commit mass suicide, but the Japanese do not hesitate to die, and they usually do not hesitate to fight until they run out of ammunition and food. If you don't see your opponent, you kill yourself first? It doesn't seem to be so stupid.

Zhou Youfu received a report from the front in the rear, and he couldn't understand what they said, so he approached the battlefield in a jeep and felt strange when he saw the scene. A Shao Zuo's body was dragged out at the scene, it can be seen that this is a large brigade formation, but the width of the position is like a squadron, and he asked people to drag the captured things back to Chu Shizuo for a look. Then order the troops in front to move forward leisurely, don't be in too much of a hurry. This is one of the few times he has disobeyed the orders of Pavilion Chief Chu.

At this time, the British plane flew over Zhou Youfu's department, which was approaching the motorization, and this time the pilot could clearly see that the blue sky and white sun flag were planted on the car, and it was heading south. To be on the safe side, the pilot flew at low altitude twice. It was confirmed that the Chinese army was attacking Calcutta, and that the Japanese troops out of the city were divided in the rear, and the fighting was scattered everywhere, and it was clear that the Japanese army was scattered and disorganized.

Chu Tingchang went from showing weakness to counterattacking, and did enough foreplay, deceived the allies, and naturally deceived the Japanese army. In the morning, he suddenly attacked and killed two wing commanders and one division commander, almost completely destroying the enemy's command system. The 200th Division did not have enough troops to surround the enemy, but only blocked his way back to the city, allowing him to occupy the dangerous terrain and did not storm on.

The enemy's logistics were cut off, and even if he had a favorable location, he could not hold out for long. At present, as long as the attack of the 2nd Division is blocked, the headquarters of the 15th Army, which is far away in Burma, cannot carry out any effective rescue. As long as more than half of the enemy is destroyed here, the 200th Division will reorganize its personnel, and the 2nd Division and the 31st Division in front of Sun Liren will not be a problem. The current firepower of Chu Tingchang's troops is far superior to that of the enemy's division. Coupled with the superiority in reconnaissance and communications, with a little time, it can sweep through eastern India.

In the 10 hours when the battlefield situation was turned upside down, the Indian and Canadian troops, far from the main battlefield, were still tired and scuffling, but they felt forgotten. The Indian National Army did not wait for the Japanese artillery to arrive, and called the Japanese-Indian Coalition Command in Calcutta, and the chief of staff of Shirasaki kept saying that the artillery would arrive soon and asked the Indian army to continue the offensive.

Chandrabose was a politician after all, and immediately smelled something was wrong, he had traveled around the world, been used as a gunman by others many times, and was very good at judging the subtle changes in his situation. He sensed that the Japanese were lying, so he sent cavalry to reconnoiter around, but of course the news was delayed for a long time because there was no radio.

In the afternoon, the returning scouts reported to him that the Japanese troops in the east and north had been defeated, and saw that the Japanese heavy artillery had been abandoned outside the city, and that a heavy army and cavalry were rushing into the city. The troops in the direction of yesterday's sortie seemed to have been intercepted by the Chinese army and could not go back, only the sound of gunfire from the north was heard, but it was not intense.

Knowing what was going on, Bose was determined to wait, but the attack on the Canadian brigade was halted, and in the two days his troops lost more than 4,000 men, which had already exceeded the number of the besieged enemy, but they could not eat the enemy. For now, however, the road back to Kolkata for his troops is clear.

As soon as the Indians stopped their attacks, the Canadians launched several counterattacks, recovering most of the positions lost in two days. The morale of the Indian army was low, and the high morale of the people who left the city was completely gone.

Chief of Staff Shirasaki had indeed been tricking the Indians into continuing to fight, at least to hold back the enemy from dividing his forces to attack the 18th Division (he still had no accurate information on the situation of the remnants of the 18th Division). At the same time, he constantly sent telegrams to the headquarters of the 15th Army, asking for support. However, there are currently very few transport ships in the Bay of Bengal, with only a few ships transporting ammunition and three troop carriers that have just left Sittwe. Unfortunately, these three precious troop carriers had just been loaded with two battalions of Wang and Manchu just a few days ago, and they were about to arrive outside the port of Calcutta.

The transportation of these puppet troops was originally a decision made by Kimura Hyotaro in order to cater to Tojo's will and create a political illusion of one heart and one mind for the upcoming Greater East Asia Conference, which was far from the best decision in military terms.

Now it seems too late to transfer these ships back to load the Japanese soldiers, so they can only unload these wastes in Calcutta now, and then return to Sittwe to load the Japanese troops on the ships.

Even so, Shirasaki had illusions about holding Calcutta, because the Nankai detachment could be quickly returned, the 2nd Division still had freedom of movement, and two Japanese battleships, Hiei and Kirishima, were cruising in the Bay of Bengal, and their firepower could cover the entire north of Calcutta, so that the enemy would not dare to act rashly even if he had superior forces.

Cheng Dayang has been paying close attention to the movements of these two battleships, waiting for the best opportunity to strike at them with the best plan. Dealing with heavily armored battleships, unlike dealing with aircraft carriers like the Wyvern, * attacks above the waterline may not be a good way, and * must be used * more effectively. As for how much * to use, Cheng Dayang has no bottom in his heart. Although his * has the ability to find the target on his own, I don't know how many generations are advanced than the * of this era, but in terms of warheads alone, it is still about the same. Even if it could be programmed to explode under the keel and cause rapid flooding, this explosion method would be counterproductive against battleships with strong armor and many watertight compartments.

However, Shu Ping observed that there were very few battleships escorted by the enemy's battleships, and in addition, there were many British and American submarines around, and there were some bombers on the British airfield near Ranchi, which could actually effectively deal with the battleships, but the enemy fleet could not be found.

So Shu Ping suggested that the enemy's steering gear and thrusters be damaged with one* to make it immobilized, and then try to summon the British submarine planes to him, and they would take out the two giant beasts. Cheng Dayang agreed to this plan in principle, but it was better to launch an attack in the coastal waters, which would facilitate the British to repeatedly dispatch aircraft. Now that the enemy fleet is still in the open sea, and has also avoided the harbor (which is usually an ambush area for enemy submarines), it seems that they will not return until the chief of Chu Tingchang attacks Calcutta.

At night, the Chinese cavalry had already harassed and reconnoitred the north of the city, and in Calcutta, which was empty, the wounded soldiers could only be mobilized and shovels to dig trenches in the north. And all the troops that could be mobilized were concentrated in the north, lighting torches and bluffing, Zhou Youfu saw the fire from afar, the enemy was full of shadows, and he did not dare to mess around, only occupied a few commanding heights on the periphery, and did not rush to attack the city.

On this night, Major General Shirasaki Yoshiaki was very weak-hearted, he only had more than 1,000 combat soldiers and more than 2,000 wounded and sick in his hands, and there were no troops to defend at all.

At dawn, 1,500 men of the Nanhai detachment bypassed the loose positions of the Chinese army from the east and quietly entered the city, giving him a little confidence. Then he personally led the military band to the port to welcome the friendly forces of East Asia to the port. In the past, he would send his subordinates and even the lieutenant to meet those guys, but now it doesn't. Those are ready-made troops.

The first to arrive was a battalion of the Puppet Manchurian Janissaries and the Isono Army, composed of Mongols, with a number of 1,000 men, accompanied by cannons and horses.

As Shirasaki watched from afar, a destroyer gradually appeared on the flower plane, followed by two troop carriers. Never before had he been so earnestly and eagerly awaiting the arrival of this waste.

Separated by a kilometer. The military band began to play the "Anthem of the Founding of Manchukuo", which was a bit condescending to the arrogant Japanese. As the ship approached, the five-colored Manchukuo flag on a yellow background could be seen fluttering on the bow. The soldiers with their equipment on their backs were already lining up on the side of the ship to look down, looking a little flattered.

A slightly thin young officer with glasses stood at the bow of the ship, smiling and waving to the Japanese soldiers who were warmly welcoming below. The Japanese reporter on board hurriedly pressed the shutter to take pictures of the precious moment.

In order to reflect the cooperation between Japan and Manchuria, coexistence and common prosperity, Emperor Puyi specially sent the first battalion of the Praetorian Guard, which his younger brother was the commander, to India. Of course, the original intention was just to put on a show and perfunctory Japanese demands. Moreover, the news of the Japanese army's victory in a hundred battles made him hear calluses on his ears, and he obviously didn't think there would be any danger; Although he doesn't like this younger brother, the royal family is thin, and safety still needs to be considered. Before the procession departed from Dalian, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Puppet Manchurians issued a special communiqué mentioning the touching scene of His Majesty the Emperor and Master Tagore in Tianjin, when the Emperor and the poet exhorted each other: each fought for freedom. Now, it is time for His Majesty the Emperor to make good on his promise.
