Jagged Germany

   "Bastard! Hurry up! Hurry up, everyone!" The British officer on a horse beat the Indian soldier northward with a whip in his hand.

  The Indian soldier screamed and fell into the mud pit.

   "The division has issued an order. We must rush to Alibag within two hours. Otherwise, we will all be dealt with by military law, and there will be no good fruit!" The British officer's face was full of indifference. In his eyes, these Indian soldiers cannot be regarded as human beings at all, at most they are a group of cannon fodder. Therefore, they didn't care about the life and death of these Indian soldiers at all.

  The short, sallow and thin Indian soldiers had to speed up. Although all of them were exhausted and out of breath, if they didn't want to be whipped, they could only increase their speed as much as possible. Otherwise, they might be beaten to death by those officers.

  Under the urging of the officers, the British and Indian troops marched relatively fast. However, it is very difficult to say how much combat effectiveness these Indian soldiers, who are not very good in physique, have left in Alibag after such a forced march.

  At noon, the vanguard of the British and Indian troops arrived in Alibag. When they arrived, the soldiers collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath one by one.

   "Get up, get up quickly." Seeing the appearance of these Indian soldiers, the British officer was very dissatisfied. In such a state, it is simply impossible to get them involved in the offense.

  General Howard, the commander of the 2nd Army of the British and Indian Army, is also having a headache for the state of the troops. As a last resort, he could only give an order to rest for an hour after the troops arrived. No matter what, if you want the troops to attack, you must let them have physical strength. Everyone is so tired that they can't even stand up, how can they fight?

  And this gave the Germans more time, and more troops could disembark.

  The German 71st Infantry Division, 72nd Infantry Division, 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division all successfully disembarked. No matter, the two infantry divisions behind did not carry heavy weapons, only light weapons. But even so, more than 30,000 people from two infantry divisions went ashore, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the German army, which was enough to resist the attack of the British and Indian troops.

  At 1:30 in the afternoon, Admiral Howard, the commander of the 2nd Army of the British and Indian Army, issued an order to attack.

  The six main infantry divisions of the 2nd Army of the British and Indian Army, together with the 12th Army of the British and Indian Army, launched an attack on Alibagh from the north. The 11th Army of the British and Indian Army launched an attack from the south.

   However, because Alibag is just a small city, even though the British and Indian troops have arrived with so many troops, there are not many troops that can be invested in the attack at the same time. At one time, more than 100,000 troops can be invested at most. The Germans had already landed four infantry divisions and one marine division, although their strength was less than 100,000. However, it is completely enough for defense. What's more, there is also naval fire support. It is undoubtedly easier to hold the position and resist the attack of the British and Indian troops.

   "Attack! Defeat the Germans and drive them all into the sea to feed the fish! Otherwise, the whole of India will be finished!" The frontline officers of the British army issued orders loudly.

  Countless Indian soldiers, with red eyes, launched an attack. Although, those British officers treated them like pigs and dogs. However, for the future of India, they all endured.

  Many Indian soldiers are members of the Congress Party or the Green Party Alliance, or people influenced by these parties. They all know that the British promised that as long as the Germans are defeated, they will allow India to gain autonomy and gain independence step by step. This is undoubtedly the dream of all Indians.

  So, even though they knew that the Germans were very powerful and that they would die if they fought with the Germans, these Indian soldiers were fearless. They hope to use their sacrifices in exchange for a bright future for India.

   During the offensive, the British and Indian troops fully utilized their strength advantages. More than 100,000 people launched an attack. Because the German army's position is not wide, the queue of the British and Indian troops is very crowded.

   "Contact the fleet and let them fire! Let these damned Indians taste the power of our naval guns!" The German commander on the front line ordered.

  Although the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops is terrible, they have too many troops. If you don't pay attention, the German army will suffer casualties. Because of the limited force, the German generals hope that they can pay as few casualties as possible during the battle. In this case, the German firepower advantage must be maximized.

  On the sea, the seven capital ships of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet lined up, all of which had already slashed their hulls and aimed their sides at the coast. The main cannons have already raised their barrels, and their ferocious muzzles are pointing at the sky. The shells are loaded and ready to fire at any time.

   "Fire!"

  When the coordinates were sent, the main guns of these battleships were adjusted immediately. Then the gunnery commander gave the order to fire.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The 380mm main guns of the capital ship began to fire one after another. Other light cruisers and destroyers also opened fire violently. Cannonballs flew towards the battlefield under the action of huge kinetic energy.

  When shells fell from the sky one after another, causing **** storms among the ranks of Indian soldiers, those Indian natives who went to the battlefield full of passion to serve their country knew how cruel war is.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  The shells kept falling, and almost every shell exploded, taking away countless lives. I don't know how many Indian aborigines have dedicated their lives to their ideals.

  The powerful artillery fire of the German army changed the expressions of all the British officers. Many people were fortunate that they didn't need to participate in the attack, otherwise, they would have been torn to pieces.

  The fighting will of the British and Indian soldiers was not high. Under such fierce artillery fire, many people were terrified.

  Even before rushing to the front of the German position, they were frightened and collapsed.

  Subsequently, the distraught Admiral Howard once again issued an order to attack. He demanded that the British and Indian troops launch an attack at all costs, and drive the German troops into the sea no matter what.

  However, the final result was that countless corpses were left in front of the German positions.

  At the same time, the morale of the troops has also suffered a devastating blow. Those Indian natives who had just joined the army even began to flee. Such a situation is obviously not a good start for the British and Indian troops.
