Chapter 968 The Pearl That Was Taken Off (Part 2)

"No, we have no direct contact with the Japanese. Those who enter our camp are Indians, and the entire camp is ourselves. This will not arouse the suspicion of the British."

Although he said that, the commander was still heartbroken. After saying this, he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "In another ten minutes, if the commander-in-chief doesn't come yet, we will rush out!"

These Indian officers of the Fourth Army nodded when they heard this. The situation is now very obvious. If the commander-in-chief does not come again, it is likely that he has discovered something.

By then, my life will be worrying. Only by returning to the army and organizing my own forces will it be safer. Staying here can only be a catfish at the slaughter of others.

"Tututu...boom!boom..." They didn't wait ten minutes, and when the voice of the commander of the Fourth Indian Army had just fallen, bursts of gunfire sounded outside.

"Run out!" The commander reacted quickly, immediately pulled out his gun and rushed out of the door.

The other Indian officers immediately pulled out their guns and rushed towards the doors and windows. But someone was faster than them, but they saw dozens of British soldiers standing at these exits. They held submachine guns and swept across the conference room with "da da da..."

"Listen, the people inside immediately dropped their guns and surrendered. Otherwise, they will kill them without any hesitation!"

"We are from the Fourth Indian Army, I am the commander of the army Timayah..."

"I know you are the commander of the Fourth Indian Army, but I also know that you, a bastard, have betrayed the British Empire!!" A roar suddenly came from outside the door, and this was the voice of the commander of the garrison Slim.

I heard Slim's words. The Indian officers who were injured and screamed in the conference room, hiding behind the temporary shelter were full of despair. They knew that the affairs of themselves and the Japanese had been leaked.

Now, there is no doubt that the commander-in-chief is here to clean them up.

"General. I hope you will remain calm! You must have evidence to say these things, our Fourth Indian Army has 50,000 people..."

Timaia was still calm at this time and tried to ask for a glimmer of hope to see outside the door. But Slim didn't give him a chance at all, and said with a laugh.

"Silly donkey! What do you think I have transferred you to?! Let me tell you that the Fourth Army has been disarmed by me! Your minions are either dead or in prison. I said the last time: either disarm or I will go in!"

Timayah listened to Slim's words and his heart sank directly from his chest to the bottom of the valley. The Fourth Army was their only support. If the Fourth Army was disarmed, they would not have even the last little capital in their hands.

"Surrender..." After a moment of silence, Timaia looked at everyone for advice. No one wanted to die, and everyone threw the gun out of the window in a tacit understanding.

In order not to arouse their suspicion, the British army did not confiscate their guns when they came here. But just these few pistols, it was a dream to break out of here.

Therefore, these Indian officers chose to surrender very poorly.

"Nani?! Our plan has been leaked. The Fourth Army has been disarmed by the British?!" Mutian looked at the limping, snot and tears in front of him, and said in disbelief.

"Yes, General. The matter of our contact was discovered by the British. They gathered directly to three infantry divisions to confiscate our weapons and arrested our commander General Timayah..."

The officer escaped after discovering that the situation was wrong. The other officers of the Fourth Army were either shot dead or arrested.

After hearing the Indian officer's words, Mutian waved his hand and asked him to go down, and then ordered people to call all the division commanders to have a meeting.

"The British have discovered our connection with the Indians. They even directly seized the weapons of the Fourth Indian Army and captured their Commander Timayya." Mutian looked at the three division commanders, and his eyes were filled with amazing light.

"According to the escaped officer, the British sent all three infantry divisions to disarm! In other words, the British positions are now extremely empty!"

When these Japanese division commanders heard that the Fourth Indian Army was disarmed, they were still lamenting that it would be difficult to fight without an internal response. After all, if the British army's fortifications are chewed hard, they will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

But Mutian's words made their eyes shine. What a wonderful thing this is for the empty enemy fortifications!

"Don't hesitate, everyone will go back immediately and launch an attack immediately!" Mutian roared loudly: "Now is the best opportunity. If those British people return to the fortifications, we will suffer greater casualties! Take action now!"

"Hayi!!"

Slim didn't know that when the Japanese learned that he had cleared the Indian army, they chose to attack the British immediately. Now he looked at Timaiya and others who were dejected in front of him with a pale face.

"When did you contact the Japanese?! What conditions did they give you?! Say!!" Slim almost spoke to these people with a roar, and Timayya, who felt the death, slowly raised her head.

He looked at Slim and said, "The Japanese did not give us any benefits, they just told us they could drive you away. Because they did this in Singapore."

Slim couldn't help but stagnate when she heard this, gritted her teeth for a while but didn't know what to say. Timayah was talking about the truth. The British army abandoned Singapore, which was the biggest shame in Britain now.

India has always wanted independence, and they have launched many uprisings for this reason. But what they had no choice was that all of these uprisings were declared failed. The generals of the uprising were either bribed by the British and became nobles or were wiped out by British soldiers.

"Take it down and lock it up! Don't give anyone a chance to contact them, and everyone else interrogate separately. I want to know what they said to the Japanese!!"

"Timia has given us all the British army's defense maps. If we can't even fight this way, we can directly cut off the caesarean kingdom!"

Muda pointed the map and said to the Chief of Staff Isaiyama Haruki, who was beside him: "Wait! I believe they will bring us news of victory."

When the Japanese launched a war against India, the Southwest Military Region's battle in Dienbene was still going on in a hurry. Knowing that this was a slow-working and meticulous way of fighting, Longshengzu was not in a hurry to achieve success.

On the contrary, he patiently sent a telegram to the military region to send all the recruits to the front line to experience the combat. The intensity of the combat was not high. The Southwest Military Region now only familiarizes the soldiers with the battlefield and the Japanese military's combat methods.

They did not force them to break through the positions. Therefore, most of these soldiers just walked around the battlefield. After three or five times, they basically became veterans.

After becoming veterans, these people no longer go to the battlefield but change to a new army to experience it.

"How many holes have been dug?!" Long Shengzu kept marking the sand table with his pen in the command center, and all the red dots were tentative Japanese firepower points.

These red dots are densely covered with Japanese positions on the sand table. There is no gain in the attack on the Southwest Military Region during this period. They have used firepower and charge to test most of the Japanese firepower points, but their own losses are not large.

"The six holes are progressing smoothly. It is estimated that they will be able to dig the Japanese position in about a week." The Chief of Staff looked at the report documents and said, "The only concern now is whether we will alarm the Japanese army in the fortifications."

"Well... let brothers be careful. According to our information, the Japanese army's fortifications are all reinforced concrete structures. If they are dug, they should encounter them. As long as they are dug, they will stop and wait for the order immediately."

After a pause, the Dragon Rope Ancestor continued: "Don't stop the shelling, we need to cover the soldiers to dig holes. The soldiers have been trained almost. By then, the Japanese positions will be broken, but it will be time to test them."

Long Shengzu put down the pen in his hand and said to the Chief of Staff: "This is the first time that our Southwest Military Region can take the lead. The degree to which our Southwest Military Region can develop in the future depends on what achievements it has! Tell brothers, don't embarrass our Yunnan Army!"

"yes!!"

At this time, the positions around Impal were suddenly attacked violently, and countless shells hit the British firepower point just like they had eyes.

But most of the British troops were drawn back to deal with the Fourth Indian Army, which led to an extremely shortage of troops on the positions. The Japanese army launched a "decisive charge" offensive.

After the huge roar of cannons, countless Japanese troops rushed towards the British positions like tides in the night.

"TuTuTuTu..." Christian desperately pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun, trying to use a large number of bullets to suppress the Japanese army. But this obviously did not have much effect.

The Japanese army rushed up were all veterans. They quickly found the bunker and kept fighting back against the British positions with the rifles and light machine guns.

"Dadadada...boom!boom!boom..." The Japanese grenade launchers also exerted their power at this time. These British troops had never encountered grenade launchers and had no idea how to deal with them.

The curved grenade launcher directly smashed the grenade into the British trenches more than 100 meters away, and the explosion and screams suddenly sounded. The British heavy machine guns with several firepower points were immediately stunned.

"Let them go back to the position immediately! Hurry up!" Slim had already received the help from the position. Only then did he realize that the news of his attack on the Fourth Army had leaked, but the Japanese took this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on his position.

"Tell the cabinet about the situation here and ask them to make a decision on the matter..."

Upon learning about the Japanese attack, Slim almost collapsed on the chair. He did not expect the news to be leaked so quickly, nor did he expect the Japanese to launch a full-scale attack on the position so decisively.

Thinking that the three main infantry divisions were drawn out by themselves, Slim shuddered. How could he withstand tens of thousands of Japanese troops carrying heavy firepower just a few companies?!

"Governor Victor, let's prepare..." After supporting the adjutant and others, Slim trembled at the Indian Governor Victor: "If it really doesn't work... we have to retreat to the Soviet Union first, and then find a way to Canada..."

Victor nodded quickly, while Slim paused and continued: "I will send you three fighter jets and one transport aircraft. If the situation really loses control, you must choose to evacuate immediately..."

Slim's order was right, and the situation on the front line is really bad now. The four high grounds owned by the British army have been captured by the Japanese. The other two are in danger under the strong attack of the Japanese army.

But now the three infantry divisions who were going back to support are still more than twenty kilometers away. At this time, it was drizzling in Impal, and it would be drizzling here every year.

If the British army were on the position, they would be very happy with this kind of rain. Because the rain would cause mud on the road and would slow the Japanese offensive.

But now they need to support the British troops on their positions, and this drizzle becomes extremely annoying. Marines on the muddy roads are torture, and the speed is severely slowed down.

"Hurry! Go quickly! The guys on the position are waiting for us!" The British officers kept cheering along the way, but the results were minimal.

"Da da da da...bang!bang!bang..." Gunshots sounded on the British positions, and some positions had even entered the hand-to-hand combat stage.

These Japanese troops drawn from the Chinese battlefield know more about hand-to-hand combat than the British army. Moreover, combined with Japanese guns and bayonet techniques, they are naturally stronger than the British hands-to-hand combat.

The rainy days caused blurred vision. What's even more tragic is that these British troops had to face the siege of four or five or even seven or eight Japanese troops alone.

"God... save me..." A British soldier was stabbed by the Japanese army sadly, and his stomach was broken and his intestines were spread all over the floor.

The Japanese army beside him didn't care what he said at all, and directly stabbed the bayonet into his heart with a "puff~". The British soldier kept coughing blood. He grabbed the bayonet tightly but his eyes gradually lost their spirit...

The British cabinet, which had retreated to Canada, is now in chaos. India was betrayed by the army and tried to be independent. After the news that the Japanese army was attacking fiercely, the entire cabinet became a mess.

"These damn thieves! Bastards who took advantage of the situation! It's time to go to hell to illegitimate children..." A series of curses rang out in the conference room. Churchill slapped the table and said angrily: "Enough! No matter how much you scold now, it will be useless. It's better to think carefully about how to deal with the aftermath!"

"India will definitely not be able to defend itself. How to do its best to protect our soldiers is what we should consider." Since Churchill was brought back from the British mainland by Montgomery, he has become much more depressed.

Many times, he didn't say a word even at cabinet meetings. This time, it was the first time he spoke at a cabinet meeting since he came to Canada.

"This is the situation now. The empire has long lost its former strength. We have lost our homeland and we have no invincible fleet again. What can we do if the Japanese take advantage of the situation?!"

Churchill took a deep breath and said, "Let Slim lead his troops to retreat from Afghanistan to the Middle East. Our troops in the Middle East will respond..."

Churchill didn't have to think about it, the situation in India must be a mess now. Instead of wasting the strength of three infantry divisions there, it would be better to let all of these troops retreat to the Middle East and go to the British colonies.

In this way, at least they have joined forces with British troops in the Middle East and can also form a certain self-protection ability.

"As for India..." Churchill smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think there is a better way besides letting go for the time being?!"

"Report! The latest battle situation: The enemy's 33rd Division has occupied our headquarters' Bisimpur, the 31st Division has captured our headquarters' Kexima, and the enemy's 15th Division is attacking Mixuan..."

As the news came, Slim's heart gradually became cold. None of them was favorable. Slim walked to the map and took several areas occupied by the Japanese army, and then sadly discovered that once the Mixuan was occupied, the north-south passage of Impal would be blocked by the Japanese army.

"Report, the cabinet is urgently telegram!" The telegraph soldier hurriedly handed a telegram to Slim. Slim took it and saw that it was the order issued by the cabinet Churchill to evacuate him from Afghanistan to the imperial colony.

Slim sighed, at least this is the best choice now. If the cabinet allows him to continue fighting now, then the only way to destroy these troops is to wait for them.

"Kerala...bang...boom!!" In order to strengthen its strength and expand its breakthrough capabilities in the British fortifications, Muta specially asked Sugiyama to transfer tanks and heavy artillery wings from Yamamoto Detachment. These troops played a very strong effect in this battle.

The improved Japanese tanks are still a long way from heavy tanks, but they are already considered good medium tanks. Especially in India, which lacks anti-tank equipment, these tanks are almost rampant.

"Quick! Make up the position!!" The 20th Division of the British and Indian Army who returned to the position finally rushed to the battlefield, but unfortunately, most of the positions have now fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

Fortunately, the Japanese had just captured the position and had no time to make defense. This made Lewis Pew, the commander of the 33rd Brigade, believe that the British army still had a chance to drive these Japanese down.

"Assault! Kill these British guys!" The Japanese army occupying the position also had their eyes red, and roared and rushed towards the British army. The two sides were strangled together in the rain.

After a long period of forced marching, the British troops were already extremely tired at this time. The attacking Japanese troops were not much better. They fought in the rain and mud, and the physical strength they lost was not a little bit.

The commanders of both sides had an idea, that is, they could not hold on to the deal! They only needed to attack for a while, and the other party would withdraw.

With this mentality, the two sides strangled together.

"Bitch!"

"Rode Noro!!"
