Jagged Germany

Chapter 921: collapse

"General, the 71st Infantry Division and the 72nd Infantry Division have lasted for five days. They have caused great casualties to the British and Indian troops. However, their ammunition has also consumed more than half, and they can last for another three days at most. I'm afraid they will have to break through and retreat. Otherwise, they will be surrounded and wiped out by the British and Indian troops because of the exhaustion of ammunition!" Lieutenant General Lundstedt reported.

  Lieutenant General Ludendorff nodded: "I see!"

  The strength of the German army is largely due to the strong firepower of the German army. This makes the enemy have no other way when facing the powerful firepower of the German army.

  However, the powerful firepower also made the German troops very expensive. The pressure on logistical supplies is also great. If there is no ammunition, the weapons in the hands of the German army are no different from fire sticks. Once in hand-to-hand combat, although the strong German soldiers obviously have an advantage over the thin Indian soldiers, the so-called two fists are no match for four hands. At that time, the fate of the German army will be very miserable.

  Since the last world war, the German army has never had a martyr whose infantry divisions were systematically wiped out. If the German army lost two infantry divisions at one time on the Indian battlefield, it would definitely be a record. Of course, is a bad record. Even if General Ludendorff won Qin Tian's trust, he would definitely not be able to bear this responsibility.

   Therefore, Lieutenant General Ludendorff has no other choice.

"Send a telegram to the 8th Armored Division! Two days later, launch an attack. Directly attack the main force of the British. There are not many British troops stationed in India, only more than 200,000. Now they are all concentrated in the north of Ajmer I need the 8th Armored Division to defeat them. The 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division will act together with the 8th Armored Division. After defeating the British Army in India, expand the results as much as possible and defeat the British and Indian Army!" Lu Admiral Dendorf ordered.

  If the 71st Infantry Division and the 72nd Infantry Division on the front line still have enough ammunition, he hopes to launch the attack as late as possible. In this case, the British and Indian troops can pay a greater price in front of the solid German defense line. Unfortunately, the situation doesn't allow it.

   "Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Lundstedt immediately went to give the order.

  On the morning of April 3, the German 8th Armored Division, 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division launched an offensive. In order to allow the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division to keep up with the advancing speed of the 8th Armored Division, Admiral Ludendorff specially mobilized a large number of trucks for their use. The speed of the wheels of a car is naturally much faster than that of human legs.

  Although the British troops stationed in India were fifty kilometers away, three hours later, the German 8th Armored Division launched an attack on them. At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.

  The sudden attack of the German army made it impossible for the British troops stationed in India to guard against it. Even though, these troops composed of British troops far surpassed the British and Indian troops in terms of combat effectiveness. However, facing the torrent of steel composed of more than 200 tanks, there is only one thing these British can do, and that is to run away immediately.

  Although, the British government in exile in Canada has begun to jointly develop new tanks with the Americans. But unfortunately, it has not been developed yet. Therefore, the British troops stationed in India will not be able to use those advanced tanks. The way they deal with tanks is nothing more than anti-tank weapons or attacks with cluster grenades and explosives.

   Such tactics are no different from those in the last world war.

  Facing the torrent of steel from the German army, such tactics are difficult to succeed.

  Under the crushing of the German tank tracks, the performance of these British people was not much better than that of the Indians.

   "God! What about anti-tank guns? Stop the German tanks! Otherwise, our position will collapse!" A brigadier-general brigadier roared.

  However, none of his officers and soldiers listened to him at all. Facing the German tanks, they believed that the only chance of survival was to flee immediately. If you stay and fight, there is only one dead end.

  After the fall of the mainland, although many British people are determined to revive the British Empire. However, it is undeniable that their morale has dropped very badly. In their hearts, they have already developed a fear of the Germans. When facing the German army, I didn't have the courage to continue fighting. Although, their combat literacy and the like may be much better than the Indians. But their fighting spirit is almost the same as that of Indians.

   "Crunch, crunch!"

  The tracks of the tank crushed the positions of the British troops stationed in India. With the assistance of the 8th Armored Division, the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, which accompanied the 8th Armored Division, broke through the defense line of the British troops stationed in India, and began to cooperate with the armored forces to wipe out the remaining enemies on the position. Expand the victories.

  The British troops stationed in India could not resist the German attack at all. A large number of British soldiers even raised their hands and surrendered. Many people fled to India from the British mainland. Although their combat effectiveness is very strong, they have already developed a fear of the German army. Under such circumstances, their performance is also very bad.

  After the collapse of the British Army in India, it had a great impact on the British and Indian Army. Before the Germans launched an offensive, they took the initiative to retreat.

   Moreover, it was not the retreat orders issued by the generals of the British army, and there was also no order from Lord William Nicholson. Those Indian soldiers retreated spontaneously. This is not for other reasons, but because they have all been frightened by the Germans. Therefore, it retreated directly.

  The British and Indian armies that were besieging Ajmer had already suffered heavy losses. After learning that the British troops stationed in India were defeated by the Germans. At the same time, after several group armies had retreated in a few days, they didn't even have the guts to continue fighting. If the German army encircled them, wouldn't they be dead?

   There were almost no other orders, and several British and Indian armies that besieged Ajmer also fled.

  When Lord William Nicholson learned that such a change had taken place in the battle situation, he was equally dumbfounded and couldn't believe such a fact at all.

  Before the decisive battle began, he was full of confidence in this battle. You know, he has assembled a full 1.8 million troops, including 200,000 elite troops composed of British. However, what he didn't expect was that the first to collapse was the British Army in India, which he had placed high hopes on. Obviously, they failed again in this decisive battle.
