Chapter 56: Crazy Attack

The Royal Navy Far East Fleet chose a tragic way to die in battle to prove that the honor remains the same. During the fierce battle for several hours, no one chose to surrender. On the contrary, the commanders of the six armored cruisers of the Chinese Navy's special-mix fleet chose to avoid their edge when the British cruisers approached rapidly with rolling smoke, so they let three British cruisers go away.

When a desolate and tragic battle ended, the sea was full of soldiers struggling in the waves, including British and Chinese. Six Chinese destroyers and cruisers sank in the battle, and more than half of the remaining warships were seriously injured. This result is certainly unsatisfactory, but it also proves from the side that the British Navy, which has been rampant in the world for two hundred years, is indeed the world's number one in terms of soldiers' quality.

"Shameful!" Li Zhun slapped the table and rose up, angrily scolding the captains of the six warships who ordered their retreat.

"Since the founding of the New Army, have you ever seen fear of the enemy and avoiding the enemy? As the glorious navy of the Republic, the President once in the early days of its establishment, we have instructed that we not only want to defeat the British navy on the sea to seize the glory of the world's number one, but also to defeat our opponents psychologically. And what about you? What have you done? Isn't it just that the British warships are approaching and hitting? Why not bravely meet them and let the British devils know that the Chinese navy is not afraid of using warships to fight bayonets? Don't make any excuses, I don't want to hear, hand over the command, go back to Beijing to apologize to the President!"

Li Zhun said coldly towards the cold wind of the severe winter in West Villa. The reason why he did not immediately order the shooting of these captains was that they all came from the East China Sea Fleet and were originally under Deng Shichang's subordinates. Although Li Zhun was angry, he still definitely gave Deng Shichang some face.

Three days passed, and the rice-shaped flags were still floating above New Delhi, proving that the British Army was still fighting and proving that the former Sun never set empire was still trying to struggle to maintain the last glimmer of honor in India.

Wearing a straight military uniform and shiny leather boots, Li Yaozu felt extremely relaxed. After three days of battle, without using one soldier and one soldier in the sequence in the south before the war, he had already entered the city of New Delhi with six Vietnamese guard divisions alone. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely.

It was easy but relaxed, but Li Yaozu was still very dissatisfied with the current results. Shen Congyun from New Delhi only gave ten days to capture. Without tanks and insufficient heavy artillery, Li Yaozu relied heavily on the bombing of aircraft after tasting the sweetness. However, the transportation of aviation bombs was not focused before. After a day of bombing, all the bombs were thrown out. Li Yaozu could only strictly order Kolkata to speed up the transportation speed. A convoy that had already set off had finally arrived early this morning.

"I ordered the troops in the city to retreat to the edge of the city, and let the Air Force drop all the bombs for me and blow his mother's feet up to the sky."

After saying this, Li Yaozu turned his head to look at his close confidant general Jiang Yong. He was a veteran. Although he was over thirty years old, he had participated in the two Sino-Japanese and Sino-Russia wars. He was currently the commander of the First Army of the Indian Expeditionary Force and had two reorganized divisions under him, and he was 60,000 elite troops. This was the ace that Li Yaozu easily refused to play.

Now that Li Yaozu looked over, Jiang Yong naturally understood the profound meaning. He stood up and straightened his back and shouted loudly: "Commander, my subordinates requested to go to the front line to replace the Vietnamese security forces fighting in front."

Li Yaozu waited for this sentence, but he still looked around the conference room and looked at the angry gaze on several Vietnamese guard division commanders' faces. Li Yaozu smiled and said, "The courage is commendable, but you do it alone. Can you drink the northwest wind? This is better, the first, second, third and fourth guard divisions are used together to attack me on the right side, the first army on the left and middle side are responsible for the main attack. The President gave me ten days, but I have issued a military order. Now I will give you another three days. If you can't take New Delhi, you will resign on your own initiative."

As he said that, the smile on Li Yaozu's face disappeared instantly and turned into a fierce and cold face. Everyone knows that Li Yaozu's temper is that it is time to take the initiative to stand up and speak.

"Boom!" With a sound, all the first-level officials present stood up in unison, and everyone shouted in unison: "I am willing to issue a military order. I will not be able to take New Delhi in three days. Please collect the corpses for my subordinates."

"Very good, I have murderous aura! I'll give you a day to change your defense. The Air Force will start bombing at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. The rest depends on yours."

After the order was issued, Li Yaozu turned around and left, and a group of officers also returned to the team to make arrangements.

To be honest, the six commanders of the Vietnamese security division were very dissatisfied. After three days of hard work, they gave up two-thirds of the territory. The commanders of the three divisions naturally gathered together to discuss and quickly reached a consensus. Each division selected an elite veteran from a battalion, and then concentrated all the light and heavy artillery to command in a unified manner. Finally, the commander of the First Division, Tang Xiucai, as the commander of the Vietnamese security unit. In short, the first division must be won for the first time to attack New Delhi.

Jiang Yong did not leave immediately, but came to Li Yaozu's office.

"Commander, what else do you have to instruct?"

Li Yaozu knew he was coming, and looked at the beloved general sternly and said, "The task given to me by the President is to sweep the entire India within a month and completely fight the British army out. Time is already very urgent. We must take India before the European side starts, and start a good start for the war that the Allies are about to launch. This time I have made personal gains and give you the mission of the Vietnamese Guard Division. As the number of elite troops in the Southern Military Region, your army has the best equipment. The number of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns is almost over to the Shanghai Marine Division. These equipment have been mined by me many times in Beijing due to the old relationship of the president. Don't let me down at critical moments."

"Please rest assured, the commander, that his subordinates will come to the front line to supervise the war."

Jiang Yong, who returned to the camp, immediately convened a combat deployment meeting for the chief officers of the army. After a clear task deployment, Jiang Yong sneered and brought a steel helmet, picked up the submachine gun on the table, and said to the shocked subordinates: "You all saw me dressing like this. I will first say ugly things in front. The commander and general led the supervisor team to the front line of the middle line to supervise the battle. The deputy commander and general led the supervisor team to the left to supervise the battle. Since its establishment, the Republican Army has never lost a battle under the leadership of the President. The commander gave me three days. I will give you two days. I can't take New Delhi within two days. I will personally lead the supervisor team to charge."

Speaking of this, everyone understands what Jiang Yong means.

"If you cannot purge New Delhi within two days, you should commit suicide to thank the world." Cheng Zidan, the commander of the reorganized First Division, shouted first, and other first-level chief officials followed one after another.

The next day, morning.

Li Yaozu, who was hanging two melon grenades around his neck, with a steel helmet and a telescope, arrived at the right-wing position under the charge of the Vietnamese security division early in the morning.

The commanders of the Vietnamese security division were a little excited when they saw Li Yaozu and expressed their determination at the top of their voices.

At about six o'clock, three hundred bombers made a loud noise, and the bombs landed in the city of New Delhi like rain. In an instant, the smoke in the whole of New Delhi was rolling.

After more than an hour of fire preparation, the commando of the First Division of the First Army, with a steel helmet on his head and a submachine gun, launched a fierce attack. At the same time, the suicide squad of the Vietnamese guards wearing a cloth cap, each with a Mauser sounded 20 times and a machete on his waist, and launched a fierce attack from the right side.

Speaking of which, the Vietnamese security division seemed a little helpless. Its equipment was not comparable to the domestic regular army in the First Expeditionary Army. Fortunately, in order to make up for the shortcomings of automatic weapons, the Vietnamese security division equipped many Mauser box cannons, which was still very powerful in melee combat.

The British troops in the middle of the left did not expect the opponent to change. The one who came up was a wolf bazi holding a melee weapon submachine gun. After approaching, the dense firepower of the submachine gun made the British army unable to raise their heads. The expensive and powerful melon grenade flew over like a lot of money. Compared with the large number of K98 and wooden grenades equipped by the Vietnamese security division before, it was really unparalleled.

After the British defense line, which was already shaking during the bombing, encountered such a violent impact from the left and middle lines, the front line position suddenly felt like it was about to collapse. The First Army of the Expeditionary Force successfully advanced 500 meters within the first hour of attack.

The British army was obviously prepared enough for the cruelty of battlefield combat. With the very layered layout of the urban building defense lines, the first- and second-tier positions were broken through and soon stabilized on the third-tier positions, and a brief stalemate began.

Many captured British soldiers after the war were unwilling to recall some details of this battle, because they felt despair and shame, but mainly because they could not understand the almost hysterical and crazy fighting momentum that broke out from the Chinese and Vietnamese soldiers.

It would be fine if the firepower and equipment are not as good as humans. When fighting a war, there is no end to the opponent's life-deserving end, so it's a bit unspeakable.
