Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Tian Shijie found a solution to this problem based on his sailing experience. He only used one of the two engines on the boat and only 800 kilograms of fuel left in the fuel tank to skillfully drive the submarine to the Andaman temporary base.Of course, they also enjoyed a hero's welcome.

The scrap-like Kent drifted on the sea overnight, and it was not until nearly dawn that its crew and the ships serving as guards really gave up on it.When Cunningham saw that the heavy cruiser was hopeless, he gathered destroyers and minesweepers around it and held a farewell ceremony to it.

In the brilliant morning light, the Kent sank faster and faster.The surviving officers and soldiers of the coalition forces stood in silence facing the Kent with their hats off and mournful faces.

Cunningham and others rushed to the Mannar Naval Port alone on the destroyer, and joined the United Fleet. There was no blame or greeting, and everyone was silent.

The defeated Mountbatten led the remaining fleet to anchor from the Mannar naval port and began to retreat to the English Channel.Leaden sky with low clouds.The mist rising from the sea hovered like a ghost among the masts.The sea seemed to reflect the atmosphere of the United Fleet at this time, it was rough, the turbid waves were empty, and it was extremely restless.Mountbatten stood on the bridge, looking at the boundless sea, wondering what would be waiting for him...

After wandering at sea for many days, the sailors are getting better moods as they are about to return home.But what happened after arriving at Liverpool Port was something they never expected.Upon entering the port, they were immediately quarantined.They were not allowed to go ashore, and they were not allowed to have contact with anyone outside the ship, not even the captain.Only individual staff officers of the fleet can enter and leave due to special needs of work.The sailors had no choice but to stay on the ship, looking at the lights on the shore and sighing.

In order to block the news of the fiasco in the Indian Ocean from the nationals of the countries participating in the war, the British military and government took various measures.

Three days later, the Secretary of the Navy issued a notice: "It is now decided to announce our losses in the Indian Ocean naval battle as follows: one aircraft carrier was lost, one aircraft carrier was severely damaged, one cruiser was severely damaged, and 35 aircraft failed to return."

Five days later, the Royal Navy Department issued a supplementary notice: "Except for the situation announced by the headquarters, nothing about the Indian Ocean campaign is allowed to be disclosed inside or outside the navy. Inside the navy, it will be announced that the 'hundred-eyed giant' has been lost, and the 'competitive The God and the Prince Wilson were severely damaged, but the names of these ships will not be released."

Mountbatten was disappointed and disgusted to find that the Admiralty had not told the people the truth of the campaign as he had advised.He understood the need to maintain domestic morale, but he believed that to win a war, the nation had to take it seriously.For this purpose, the people must know the progress of the war, and they can share not only the joy of the army's victory, but also the sorrow of the army.

However, the official British newspapers boasted about the major victory of the Allied forces in the Indian Ocean campaign, and all reports of the battle were preceded by traditional music celebrating the victory.

The Times also published a strange picture.In the painting, a Chinese aircraft carrier was attacked by British planes and was sinking.The commentary above the picture reads: The Navy once again achieved an epoch-making victory.At the bottom of the screen, there is a piece of enthusiastic and unrestrained text, the first few lines are: "China's attempt to use carrier-based aircraft to conduct guerrilla warfare against the coalition forces has come to naught. The powerful imperial navy sank two more large enemy ships. This epoch-making Victory was achieved during the surprise attack on the Andaman Islands. At the beginning of the war, China had 7 aircraft carriers, now only [-] remain..."

On June 6, the Ministry of the Navy issued a supplementary battle report saying: "In the previously announced surprise attack on the Andaman Islands, a Chinese battleship 'Lan Yun' and a submarine No. 15 should be added..."

Even greater falsification was seen in reports of losses to the Allied forces.The official communiques of the United Kingdom, France, Canada and other countries emphasized the victory of the Indian Ocean operation, but were vague about the defeat.In an attempt to keep the extent of the casualties a secret, the British government took startlingly extreme measures.After the combined fleet arrived in England, some 500 wounded were transferred to a civilian ship.The civilian ship slid into an unobtrusive dock in Liverpool in the dark.The wounded were then secretly transported to the base hospital along a road heavily guarded by maritime police.They were divided into two buildings, and no one was allowed to visit them, not even their wives; they were not allowed to answer the phone or communicate with each other.The British Navy has actually stamped them "Top Secret" and kept them as "Top Secret".Under such tight control, morale drops to zero.This stupid move by the British government has erected an impenetrable wall between itself and its people.

While the Chinese navy was showing its might, the Battle of Delhi was approaching the stage of deciding the outcome.

Chen Jitang's Armored Corps had been trapped in Delhi for more than a day. At this time, the ace Heriot 1nd Infantry Division mobilized by Jabalpur was also rushing to Delhi, preparing to participate in the battle to annihilate the Chinese army. The commander-in-chief was also replaced by Lieutenant General Pete himself; but Jiang Baili, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Army, suddenly ordered the troops to slow down.

"Commander-in-Chief, we can't wait any longer." Tang Shengzhi, who was called back urgently to attend the military meeting, looked anxious: "Chen Jitang has gathered at least eight divisions of the British, and their 62nd Infantry Division is about to arrive in Delhi." Well, this unit still has a strong combat effectiveness, the British, together with those Indian mercenaries, have at least 10,000+ people, and Chen Jitang's tank unit may be in danger."

Jiang Baili frowned and did not speak. He also knew that the situation in Delhi was urgent, but the more it happened, the more it would test the wisdom of a senior commander and his ability to analyze and judge the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was silent, Chen Cheng also said: "Chen Jitang's tanks have run out of fuel, otherwise they will be able to successfully break through, and their continuous fighting will consume a lot of energy. If they don't get replenished, they will face the dilemma of fighting on all sides."

Jiang Baili breathed a sigh of relief: "The British 62nd Infantry Division is on its way to Delhi day and night, and the two brigades coming from Ahmedabad are coming soon. The main force of the British in India is basically here. Can we get them to gather together. Then we will fight against the encirclement and eat them all at once? If we can achieve this strategic intention, we will decide India in one battle, and we will not encounter any troubles from now on.”

Seeing that the commander-in-chief had made up his mind, Tang Shengzhi sighed: "Then the question now is to see if Chen Jitang can withstand the British offensive and hold out until the moment we arrive."

"What about the telegram from Chen Jitang?" Jiang Baili asked.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "It's still the same. Chen Jitang is famous for saving face, and he keeps saying 'we are fighting, and Delhi is still in our hands' over and over again. "

Three Thousand Miles of Wind and Thunder Chapter 693 Ace vs. Ace

Jiang Baili knocked on the table and said: "I hope that Chen Jitang can truly show the might of the imperial soldiers. I have no doubts about their dedication. Also, I want to convey a good news to everyone. The imperial navy has recently united The fleet was completely destroyed."

Everyone applauded and cheered, only Tang Shengzhi frowned and said, "The navy has won a great victory, and our army can't fall behind."

Jiang Baili smiled for a while, walked up to the sand table, and said: "Now let me talk about my assumptions. According to the British marching speed, it is estimated that the general siege of Delhi will be completed in two to three days, and a general attack on the Imperial Armored Corps will be launched. My idea is that Chen Cheng will use the force of two divisions to pass through Bertinda and Selda Shehr, go straight to Jaipur, and cut off the escape route of the British army; wait for the British army to reach Delhi with the main force, and complete it on the line of Sig Encircle the left flank of the British army. After the British army arrived in Delhi, Tang Shengzhi's troops must capture Boledpur within 10 hours and complete the encirclement of the British army's right flank. Order the follow-up troops of the Armored Corps outside the city of Delhi to work day and night Don’t be afraid of wasting shells to attack the British army. We must give the British the illusion that we are breaking through from the front and doing our best to rescue the Panzer Corps. Send a telegram to Chen Jitang and tell him not to abandon Delhi even if the last soldier is fighting! "

The meeting lasted all night, and it had just ended when the sky turned slightly white.At this time, India is full of smog, the deep sky is silent, and even the rushing river seems much softer and more soothing, with splashes of water jumping and flowing silently.This is the calm before the war.

The 62nd Infantry Division of Keldaherio, known as the "Undefeated Force" in the United Kingdom, is about to rush to the battlefield. The opponent they will face is the Chinese Armored Corps, which is harder than bones. In the duel between the two trump cards, who will win?

Joseph could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The arrival of Lieutenant General Pete made him feel that a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. It is also surprising that they not only firmly guard every inch of the position, but even organized several small-scale counter-assaults during the period.

Lieutenant General Pete arrived in a timely manner. In Pete's vision, he would use the existing forces on hand to repeatedly attack the Chinese army in Delhi. When the ammunition of the Chinese was almost exhausted, the ace's 62nd Infantry Division would also attack the Chinese army. It should be time, when the elite troops are used to deal with the exhausted troops who are out of ammunition and food, then they will definitely win.At the same time, in order to prevent the Chinese rescue troops, he also arranged two full divisions in Barney Bird. This arrangement should be said to be foolproof.

In the early morning, Colonel Joseph, under the order of Lieutenant General Peter, the supreme commander of the British army, launched the most violent attack with a battalion of troops on the No. 06 area guarded by Chen Jitang.The British artillery bombarded the simple fortifications in the 06 area with cannons, but almost at the same time, the cannons on the Chinese tanks responded strongly, but the Chinese cannons stopped after a short time. It seems that there should be no shells up.

At this time, the 06st Company of the Armored Corps was guarding the 06 area. The tanks they drove were invincible, and they were equally confident of defeating the British attack when they got off the tanks.Joseph witnessed the whole process of shelling through the binoculars. He found that the Chinese soldiers guarding the position suddenly disappeared in the smoke and fire, and several tanks that were used as bunkers were blown into a pile of scrap iron.So Joseph gave the order to attack.The British army rushed up to the strength of two companies, and they rushed up to the 06 area carefully with their heads down.When the British army rushed to 50 meters from the front of the [-] area.The Chinese machine guns rang out, and the British soldiers in front fell down in pieces, and the ones behind followed suit.Joseph waved a command knife in the back and supervised the battle aggressively. He had already lost too much face in front of the Chinese army.This time, I have to save it no matter what!

The battalion commander of the major of the British army was very brave. He commanded his subordinates to launch wave after wave of attacks on the Chinese positions, but his fate also came to an end. A long series of machine gun bullets flew into him In his body, he was immediately beaten into a hornet's nest.When the attacking British soldiers saw that their commanders were all shot dead, they swarmed back with their guns dragging their guns.

A moment later, the British artillery and heavy machine guns started a new round of shelling and strafing at the front of position 06. The roofs of the houses on the side were blown off, and the ground was pitted one after another. The entire front position turned black. of a slice.But the tenacious Chinese soldiers showed their super courage in front of the British. By [-] o'clock in the afternoon, they had repelled more than ten British charges in a row.

Joseph decided to change tactics.He found that the left side of the 06 area was a blind spot for machine gun shooting, so he ordered the soldiers to rush to the edge of the house on the left under the cover of the machine gun, and suppress the firepower of the Chinese on the 06 position from close range.The Dragon Army Company discovered the British attempt, and immediately turned the muzzles of the two machine guns and fired fiercely to the left.There was a series of machine guns, but the cunning British army stuck to the side of the house, and there were basically no casualties.Suddenly the shooting stopped on the Chinese position. No matter how the British army fired, the Chinese didn't fire a single shot.

"The Chinese have no bullets!" A British officer shouted excitedly.

The British army rushed out like a swarm, and while firing their guns, they charged towards Area 06. They were about to reach the position, when suddenly a burst of dense machine gun bullets rushed towards them like a wind. The British army couldn't dodge in time, and fell down on the spot They covered a large area, and the rest hid behind the house, unwilling to show their faces no matter how hard they lived.

After a day of fighting, the British army not only did not advance an inch, but suffered heavy casualties. A battalion of soldiers actually lost more than half of the soldiers under the attack of the Chinese.Lieutenant General Pete, who was angry and anxious, was full of foam all day long, but a piece of good news eased his anger a little. On the second day, the 62nd Infantry Division of Keldaherio finally arrived in Delhi.The overjoyed Lieutenant General Pete was finally able to let out a long sigh of relief. The 62nd Infantry Division has gone through hundreds of battles since its formation until now, and has never encountered any opponents. With them, no matter what Any strong position can be conquered.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Major General Johnson is reporting to you. My troops have been ordered to arrive. Please instruct our actions!" The commander of the 62nd Infantry Division saluted Pete, and then stood there straight, very professional The smell of soldiers.

Johnson, who was born in an aristocratic family, is quite arrogant. Not only does he despise all foreign troops, he even ignores his British colleagues. In his opinion, only the 62nd Infantry Division has the most noble blood. The most powerful.A Chinese army surrounded by four sides has been unable to defeat it until now. It is really embarrassing for the royal officer. If it were not for Pete's higher rank than him, Johnson would never give him a good face.

"Major General Johnson, you came very timely." Although he was not satisfied with Johnson's attitude, the current 62nd Infantry Division is the life-saving straw in Pete's hands: "The Chinese resistance is very tenacious, and their reinforcements are coming frantically. I ask you to rest for two hours before launching an attack on the Chinese positions, and you must break through the Chinese positions before noon!"

"You don't have to wait until noon!" said the proud Johnson. "My troops don't need to rest, they can go into battle immediately. Within an hour, the flag of the British Empire will be flying high above the Chinese positions!"

The sour Colonel Joseph let out a soft snort from his nose. In his opinion, Johnson was too arrogant and rude. He didn't know how powerful Long Jun was, and he would soon taste the bitter fruit. Joseph didn't I don't mind seeing this proud major general make a fool of himself.

But now Chen Jitang's situation is also very difficult. Although they have not suffered much damage in terms of personnel due to the crazy suppression of hundreds of machine guns, they are running out of ammunition, and food and drinking water have been completely cut off. After a day of fighting, all the officers and soldiers of the entire legion hadn't been taken in, and Chen Jitang had no idea when the reinforcements would arrive.

"Commander, if we fight for another day at most, our bullets will be exhausted." The chief of staff said worriedly: "When we fight hand-to-hand, there will be no one who wants to fight with bayonets. Why don't we take down the cannon to fight? I still That suggestion, stick to it until dark, and then take advantage of the night to break out, I think this is still safe."

"Fart!" Chen Jitang's eyes widened: "In the dictionary of the armored forces, there is only forward, keep advancing, let me be a shameful deserter, I will definitely not do it! Moreover, the commander-in-chief ordered repeatedly to fight until the last soldier. You must not give up your position, and you must buy enough time to encircle the British army. Time, do you understand, what is most needed to kill the British is time!"

The chief of staff sighed, no one can make him change what the division commander decided: "According to the information we got just now, the British have reinforced another troop. Judging from the military flag, it seems to be the famous British ace troop Keldar. Heriot's 62nd Infantry Division, they are very effective!"

"Trump card?" Chen Jitang sneered, "We are also China's trump card army. Damn, I don't believe in this evil. Who is the trump card? We'll see the truth later."

Judging from the formation of the 62nd Infantry Division of Keldaherio, the main attack point they chose was in the southwest corner, which happened to be the command center of the Armored Corps.

"I actually came up with my idea." Chen Jitang smiled a little: "Derry is now fighting, and I should start killing!"

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the 62nd Infantry Division, under the command of Major General Johnson, lined up in a neat line, and only waited for the major general to give an order before they could press up in the direction of the Chinese command center.

Three Thousand Miles of Wind and Thunder Chapter 694 Deadly Heights

Chen Jitang laughed again: "This is the ace troop? In such a narrow area, why pay attention to the integrity and order of the queue? This is not a war, it is sent for us to be slaughtered! Order brothers to save some bullets, don't be desperate Hit them hard, I don't have any bullets for them!"

The sky over Delhi is filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and the dragon army's position is quiet. This is the calm before the war, and it is a signal that the desperate fight is about to begin!

With a "swish", a piercing military whistle sounded suddenly in the phalanx of the 62nd Infantry Division, and the British sergeants began to advance towards the Dragon Army's position.At this moment, the artillery of the British army began the most violent artillery cover before the impact, and the Chinese army's position was immediately covered by bullets.The New Crusaders were getting closer. They formed a long line, each carrying as many as 200 rounds of ammunition, two bombs, and many soldiers also had boxes with field equipment, picks, shovels, and communication pigeons. Each person carries a load of up to 30 kilograms, so they move very slowly.They attacked in several waves, led by officers armed with traditional whips.The soldiers of each wave were almost lined up side by side in a neat line, holding their rifles at an angle, and walking slowly towards the dragon army's position.

The armored division fired the last shells, and the soldiers relied on the solid tanks as cover. When the British soldiers came within a hundred yards of range, the machine guns opened fire at once. The dense bullets were like a sharp scythe, killing them instantly. The British army mowed down in groups like wheat.

Johnson's promise to capture the Chinese position within an hour became a lunatic's dream, but within an hour.Under the merciless massacre of the Chinese, more than 1000 of his troops were killed in battle alone. The myth of the undefeated troops was finally shattered in front of the powerful dragon army.

In the coalition headquarters, Major General Johnson lowered his proud head.He had to accept the fate of fiasco, and Joseph gloated at the joke of his colleague.At this time, when the New Crusaders were at a loss for the Armored Corps in Delhi, the dragon armies on the other lines had already advanced rapidly towards Delhi according to the pre-plan.

Tang Shengzhi's troops began to move, and their goal was to capture Keboledpur, and the only two dangerous places in Keboledpur were the 207 and 208 highlands outside the city. As long as they can capture these two places, Keboledpur Redpur will be safe from danger.
