Jagged Germany

"General, something is wrong! We have advanced a hundred kilometers, and now we have reached Ahmedabad, but we still haven't found any troops from the British and Indian troops. It seems that the British and Indian troops have disappeared out of thin air. Same." Major General Balfors, commander of the 71st Infantry Division, reported to General Ludendorff.

   Admiral Ludendorff couldn't help but frowned: "Is there any other news?"

   "We learned from the local Indians that the British and Indian troops began to retreat a week ago." Major General Balfors said.

"A week ago? It seems that the British and Indian troops are shrinking their forces on purpose! Order the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps to send two regiments to Baroda, set up a logistics supply base there, and shorten our logistics supply line. The whole army continues March to Derry!" Admiral Ludendorff ordered.

   "General, the British are obviously shrinking their forces and want to concentrate their forces to deal with us. If we continue to advance, will we fall into their trap?" Lieutenant General Lundstedt, chief of staff of the group army, was a little worried.

"Of course I know that those guys are up to no good. On our way to Delhi, there will be a **** battle. However, I think that even if they muster more troops, we will be able to defeat them. Is it? Goodley General Ann?" Admiral Ludendorff asked.

   "Yes, General. The 8th Armored Division will crush all enemies!" said Lieutenant General Guderian, commander of the 8th Armored Division. As one of the youngest generals of the German army, Guderian and his armored forces performed very brilliantly in the last war. Of course, this is also the reason why he was able to be promoted to lieutenant general at the age of 28. The only one who can compare with him in the German army is probably only Major General Rommel, who served as the commander of the 4th Armored Division.

   "Very good, I believe we will be able to defeat those British and Indian natives." Admiral Ludendorff said confidently.

  The other generals nodded one after another. As generals of the German Army, they are very proud. Because, they have always been the most powerful army in the world. The British are nothing more than their defeated opponents, and even the mainland has fallen. Even if they win over a large number of Indian natives in India to work for them, they will never change the reality of their defeat. The generals of the German army also believed that they could also defeat these guys in this battle.

  The German 8th Army continued to approach Delhi, but at a slower speed, and at the same time paid attention to the protection of the logistics supply line. After all, India's land area is too vast, and Delhi is far away from the coast. In the absence of fleet fire support, everything depends on the army itself.

   On March 28, the vanguard of the German Eighth Army approached Jaipur, which is less than two hundred kilometers away from Delhi. However, after the 71st Infantry Division, which served as the forward, launched a tentative attack, it did not defeat the British and Indian troops. At the same time, the dispatched reconnaissance troops also found that there were British and Indian troops everywhere.

   Major General Balfors immediately reported the situation to General Ludendorff.

  Admiral Ludendorff ordered Major General Balfus to immediately retreat to Ajmer and stand by for help. At the same time, the 72nd Infantry Division was ordered to rush for reinforcements. The other troops continued to advance at the existing speed.

  General Ludendorff believed that even in the face of the siege of the British and Indian troops ten times larger than himself, the two German infantry divisions could easily hold on. He hopes to use the 71st Infantry Division and the 72nd Infantry Division as a magnet to attract the main force of the British and Indian Army to Ajmer, and then the 8th Army will use the 8th Armored Division as the main force to launch an attack and defeat the British in one fell swoop. Indian Army.

   After Major General Balfus retreated to Ajmer, he immediately began to build a defensive position. Even though this is just a small town, it is not difficult to accommodate two German infantry divisions.

   Lord William Nicholson, who personally commanded this decisive battle, did not give up the decisive battle because the German army retreated. Instead, he ordered the 1st Army, 4th Army and 6th Army of the British and Indian Army to march towards Ajmer. The British army stationed in India and the rest of the group armies also pressed on Ajmer, but did not participate in the battle. Lord William Nicholson was also well aware that the main body of the German army had not yet been revealed.

  On March 31, the three armies of the British and Indian Army, 600,000 people, launched an attack on Ajmer. Their strength is almost twenty times that of the two German infantry divisions stationed here.

   It's just that, unfortunately, in defensive operations, the German firepower has always been very powerful. Facing the powerful firepower of the German army, the attacking enemy will pay an unimaginable price.

  The German army has two infantry divisions and more than two hundred artillery pieces. In terms of the number of artillery, it is not inferior to the three armies of the British and Indian armies. Except for the 1st British and Indian Army, which was equipped with more than a hundred cannons, the other British and Indian Army groups were only equipped with a small number of cannons. Even a group army has only a few dozen doors. Especially after the German navy blocked the coast of India, they were even less able to get artillery supplements.

   Fierce battles ensued, and the British and Indian troops had no choice but to use the crowd tactics when artillery could not take advantage of it. They sent a large number of troops, attacking again and again. However, in the face of the powerful firepower of the German Army, it did not take advantage of it at all, leaving a large number of corpses.

  For five days in a row, the British army's attacks became fiercer each time, but the German army's defense line was rock-solid. With heavy losses, the British army did not cause more casualties to the German army at all, except that the German army consumed a lot of ammunition.

  When Lord William Nicholson learned that the 1st Army, 4th Army, and 5th Army of the British and Indian Army had lost almost half of their losses, he had to deploy two armies again to attack Ajmer. In his hands, apart from the 200,000 British troops stationed in India, there are only three army groups left.

"General, the Germans' firepower is too strong. We don't have the advantage of artillery, so we can only rely on the soldiers to launch a desperate charge. This kind of tactics, the casualties of the troops are very large. The morale of the troops has also been greatly affected." A hero said the general.

"I know all this! But, what can I do? The Germans have blocked the coastline, and we can't get supplies at all. Apart from people, we have no other advantages at all. Under such circumstances, we Is there any other way?" Lord William Nicholson asked with a dark face.

  Indeed, apart from the large number of people, the British and Indian troops do not have any advantage at all.
