Save Gandhi! Save India!

When the news came out that Mahatma Gandhi was surrounded by the "G-bandits" in the city of Calcutta and ate only one meal a day, the entire Indian "national zone" seemed to boil overnight! There were long queues at the gates of almost all the recruiting stations, and countless young Indians, whether Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists or Muslims, Brahmins or Dalits, spontaneously came to the recruitment stations, ready to defend their "Mahatma" with their blood and lives! The bourgeoisie, landlords, and princely princes of India also felt that the matter was serious, and knew that if they did not give generously, it would be their death when the GD ruled all of India! As a result, large sums of money have been borrowed and donated to the authorities in New Delhi. And the Indian army controlled by the New Delhi government is massing in eastern India like crazy, preparing for a decisive battle with the G International South Asian Army!

Brigades of troops, by road, rail, and water, were pouring into Gandhi's besieged city. The whole of North India was full of people shouting Mas and the army rolling forward. On the vast plain of the eastern section of the Ganges. An army of millions gathered and rushed to the battlefield in West Bengal day and night. Among them were the well-equipped Central Indian Army, which carried a large number of artillery loads, and the local Indian army, which was poorly equipped with infantry equipment and little training. But all the armies were now marching like madness, as if in the minds of these Indians, there was only one thing left to get to West Bengal and save Gandhi from the encirclement of the GD!

The entire main force of the Indian Army, now left Stalin's 100,000 remnants defeated. It is divided into two routes, northern, central and southern, from western India to the east. The center cluster was owed by the 1st Panzer Corps of the Indian Central Army to the 3rd Panzer Division, and the 1st, 5th, 7th, 15th, and 16th Infantry Corps were transported directly from Karachi to Bombay. Then take the train to Ranchi, the capital of the Indian state of Karkhand, and then join the Indian 10th and 14th armies there. Then march east to West Bengal and fight the G International South Asian Army!

And on South Road. The local forces of the Indian Territorial Army, including the Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Garkhand and Chhattisgarh Regions, cooperated with the 12th and 13th armies of CSKA to invade the Indian base areas in Odisha and eastern Chhattisgarh and southern Kalkhand. to threaten the back of the G International South Runners-up. Forced to withdraw the main forces from outside the city of Calcutta.

On the northern route, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies of the Indian Central Army and the Indian 3rd Armored Division from New Delhi were the main forces drawn from the Indus River defense line in the northwestern battlefield of India, and then coordinated with the local troops of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India. It was first mobilized to Patna, the capital of Bihar in northern India, through well-developed rail and road transportation in northern India, and then along the Ganges waterway to approach Kolkata from the north. Waiting for the opportunity to break the siege and rescue the besieged Mahatma Gandhi.

In this scorching Indian summer. The main force of the Indian army, which had to reach the designated position by the 15th of the month, was received. Mighty and galloping towards their respective goals. Fourteen central armies and eight local armies with 66 divisions, nearly 1.1 million troops, and millions of people drove carriages and mules to transport supplies for the army! The whole of India seems to have been united because of Gandhi. At the logistics base of the Grand Army, Patna, the capital of Bihar. It was by these proletariats who came to the bottom of Indian society that the proletariat transported them to the front by means of transport, such as horse-drawn carts and mules. to ensure the logistical supply of more than a million troops...... The troops and military supplies of the government of New Delhi have now been gathered together, just waiting for the G International South Asian Army to come and wipe it out!

"Vice Chairman Mao. The Northern Advance Corps reported that the armored units of the Indian puppet army had appeared west of Jamshedpur. The reconnaissance unit of Comrade Su Y's 1st Army had already engaged their armored power search battalion. The battle lasted two hours, and the opposing side had quite a few armored vehicles and was very combat-ready...... Our scouts are not opponents. Now the Northward Advance Corps is asking for instructions, is it going to transfer the G International Armored Division, the 1st Army, and the artillery cluster as reserves to the Jamshedpur-Danbad defense line to start a decisive battle with the Indian puppet army? ”

Ye Ting stood in front of Mao ZD, with a solemn look on his face. The situation seems to have come as a surprise, and the Indian army is indeed desperate to relieve the siege of Calcutta. However, instead of playing the tactic of adding fuel to the tank, they first gathered a heavy group west of Jamshedpur-Dhanbad, and then attacked! At present, there are as many as 7 Indian Central Infantry Corps in the Indian army number that has been identified, and another Indian armored unit has just been discovered! A rough calculation shows that the strength of the Indian army on this line is as high as 37, 10,000! However, the South Asian Army of the G International gathered only three infantry corps on the Jamshedpur-Danbad defensive line, with a total strength of only about 130,000. Therefore, for a decisive battle, it is necessary to concentrate more troops. At the same time, however, the revolutionary base of Odisha had been abandoned, and the base of Karkhand, which belonged to the main battlefield of the "Battle of Calcutta" and the Ganges River on the northern front of Kolkata, traces of the concentration of a large number of Indian troops were also found. Obviously, this time, with Gandhi as bait, there are a bit more Indian puppet troops attracted here!

Mao ZD put down the documents in his hand, got up and walked to the front of the map, "How is the Jamshedpur-Danbad defense line deployed?" Ye Ting shook his head slightly and replied: "The time is too short, it has only been ten days from the end of July to now, and it is impossible to build a 140-kilometer defense line into a solid one." Moreover, the terrain in that area is dominated by plains, which is advantageous for attack and not conducive to defense. ”

Mao Zd lit a cigarette and smoked it, and a decisive battle with the main Indian army on the Jamshedpur-Danbad line seemed inevitable. Moreover, this battle is clearly the key to the success or failure of the Indian revolution! If the main force of the Indian army could be defeated in the battle of Jamshedpur-Danbad, the victory of the Indian revolution would be just around the corner. In addition, the First Congress of the G International, which will soon be held in Beiping, also needs a victory to stir people's hearts...... It is necessary to show the revolutionaries of all countries in the world the tremendous role of a unified "G International Army" in supporting the revolutions of all countries!

"Hit! Fight against the Indian puppet army in Jamshedpur-Danbad! Be sure to hit hard! Fight a red subcontinent! Mao Zd obviously made up his mind, and he said to Ye Ting: "Send electricity to Comrades Xiang Ying, Peng Dhuai, Liu Bcheng, and Chen Y." Order them to concentrate their main forces to start a decisive battle with the enemy in the middle lane, and be sure to break the main force of the Indian puppet army on that road! Create favorable conditions for the liberation of the entire South Asian subcontinent! ”

"Vice Chairman Mao. Commander-in-Chief Ye's instructions have arrived! A shout suddenly made the atmosphere of the former enemy's general headquarters in the city of Klegpur tense. Xiang Ying went to inspect the 1st Army of Jamshedpur at this time. Chen Y was sent to the outskirts of Calcutta to command the siege of the city by the 7th Army and the 2nd Army, two newly formed infantry corps. Only Peng Dhuai and Liu Bcheng sat in this former enemy headquarters. The two of them have been staying up for several nights in a row, and their faces are a little tired. But at this time, the spirit suddenly came up. There is still a little tiredness on the face. Liu Bcheng strode up to the communications staff officer who had delivered the news. He took the newspaper and glanced at it. He exhaled lightly: "Vice Chairman Mao, Commander-in-Chief Ye instructed us to start a decisive battle with the main force of the Indian puppet army on the Jamshedpur-Danbad line!" Concentrate the main forces to defeat the enemy in this division first, and then switch to the forces to defeat the enemy on the northern route. Favorable conditions were laid for the complete victory of the revolution in South Asia. ”

After saying that, he handed the telegram to Peng Dhuai, walked to the front of the map, and stared at the Jamshedpur-Danbad defense line for a moment in thought. Suddenly said: "Mr. Peng." Should we let the 5th Army and the 7th Army intensify their attack on Calcutta? ”

Peng Dhuai thought for a while and said with a smile: "Good way!" At present, the northern front of the Indian army has not yet been put in place, and the southern front will not be able to break through the defense of the 6th Army and the 1st Army of Orissa for a while...... If Calcutta is in a hurry, the Indian Army's center army will have to attack our Jamshedpur-Danbad line in a storage formation. With a strength of less than 190,000 men in 4 infantry corps, 1 armored division and 1 artillery cluster, relying on the defensive line should be enough to defeat the 7 infantry corps and 1 armored corps of the Indian army. We have won this battle! ”

……

As a result of the sudden intensification of the offensive on Kolkata by the South Asian Army of the G International. Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Vice President Chandes of New Delhi. Bose sent telegrams one after another urging Slim, the commander-in-chief of the Indian Army's Middle Route Army, to launch an attack in advance! Originally, the five corps of the Indian Army's Northern Route Army, including two local armies and the 3rd Armored Division, also had to act together, but they had not yet reached the designated position. Therefore. Slim had to attack alone.

However, the strength of the Indian Army in the middle of the army commanded by Slim was also very strong. In particular, the route army was also attached to two armored divisions of the 1st Indian Panzer Corps. Although attrition from the previous Battle of Karachi, the two armoured divisions had about 300 tanks and 356 armoured vehicles before the start of the campaign. Moreover, New Delhi also strengthened almost all of its air power to the Central Route Army, making the Central Route Army unprecedentedly strong. It includes 6 corps, 15 infantry divisions, 2 armored divisions, 10 fighter squadrons and an attack aircraft squadron, with a total strength of 370,000 troops, more than 400 artillery pieces and more than 200 aircraft.

India's Central Army, though strong, had become exhausted by the long march, especially the highly anticipated armoured units, which had less than 65 percent tank intact, and by 4 a.m. on 9 June, before the offensive was launched, the two Indian armoured divisions had only 9 Vickers light tanks, 62 No. 1 tanks and No. 64 22 tanks. As a result, the Indian army had only 224 tanks in total to prepare for the first day of the offensive, but Slim did not have time to wait for the remaining tanks to be repaired and arrive on the battlefield, because the situation in Calcutta was critical. GD's long-range artillery has blocked Kolkata airport! Now Gandhi is really trapped in the city!

And the G International South Asian Army against them still had 112 Min-2 armored vehicles before the war started on the 9th of the month, and there was also a Min-2 armored assault gun that had just arrived and was modified with a Min-2 armored vehicle, with one 75-year infantry gun, and a total of 130 "heavy armored vehicles" that could be used as tanks. The G International South Asian Army also urgently purchased 120 37 anti-tank guns from the Nationalist Government after the Battle of Karachi, and at the end of July they were airlifted to Bhubaneswar, and now all of them have been assigned to the four G International Infantry Corps defending the Jamshedpur-Danbad defensive line. Furthermore. The South Asian Army also had a considerable advantage in artillery, concentrating nearly 400 guns and heavy mortars of 100 caliber caliber on the Jamshedpur-Danbad defensive line. Compared with the 96 25-pounder cannons of the heavy artillery battalion belonging to the 6 corps of the Indian army, it has an overwhelming advantage.

At 4 a.m. on 9 June 1939, the preparations for the Indian attack were basically completed. The temperature on this day reached 42 degrees Celsius! This is also quite beneficial for the Indian army, which is accustomed to the hot climate of South Asia. And the weather was also very sunny. It is conducive to the power of the stronger Indian Air Force.

4:10 a.m. Lieutenant General Slim, commander-in-chief of the Indian Army's Central Route Army, led his former enemy command to the field observation post southwest of Danbad. The main direction of the Indian attack was near Dhanbad on the northern flank, and the previous appearance of armored troops in Jamshedpur was a purely deceptive operation. Lieutenant General Slim ordered Mittal's 224 tanks to spread out a frontage less than 5 kilometers wide, with nearly 10,000 infantry accompanying the attack carried by armored vehicles and trucks behind the tank formation, followed by follow-up units of five Indian infantry divisions. In addition, all 96 heavy guns of the Indian army were also concentrated on the Danbad line.

4:30 a.m. Indian planes appeared in the air and began to bomb the forward positions of the South Asian Army of the G International and began to bomb indiscriminately. In just 10 minutes, dozens of bombshells were dropped, destroying more than a dozen points of fire that had exposed targets in previous skirmishes. In addition, 24 light dive bombers hovered in the air behind the positions of the South Asian Army of the G International, waiting for their artillery positions to expose their targets. But soon, the planes of the G International Aviation Division also appeared in the air. Their Yi-16 fighters and the Indian Army's F3 fighters, piloted by British foreign aid, engaged in fierce air battles. Airplanes with red star markings and red, white and blue circle markings are tangled together......

The air battle between the two sides did not last long, and the Indian Air Force, which had a dual superiority in numbers and air combat technology, quickly gained air supremacy. Fighters marked with red stars were either shot down or left the battlefield. However, the Indian Air Force is not a powerful Sino-German Air Force after all, and even if it achieves air superiority, it is impossible to blow up the opponent from the air.

After the victory in the air battle, Lieutenant General Slim decided to launch an offensive as originally planned. However, due to the hasty attack, the Indian army did not have time to conduct detailed reconnaissance and did not understand the reality of the opponent, so Slim could only prescribe a general direction of attack for his troops on the map.

And his opponent is also unprepared, because he is in a passive defense and lacks corresponding intelligence support, Xiang Ying, Peng Dhuai, and Liu Bcheng have no way to make targeted deployments in advance. Of course, they were not deterred by Slim's simple deceptive actions, and still spread the forces of the four corps in a 140-kilometer defensive line, and then with Xu Gda's G International Armored Division as a reserve, while the powerful heavy artillery group was evenly deployed. Among them, on the Danbad line in the northernmost section of the defensive line, the 4th Army of the G International South Asian Army under the command of General Chen G was deployed, and it was also equipped with 100 heavy artillery and heavy mortars.

When the Indian Air Force's 100 light dive bombers bombed indiscriminately at the positions of the 4th Army, Chen G and Liu Yilou, chief of staff of the 4th Army, realized that the main direction of attack of the other side was likely to be the Danbad line. They also immediately entered the former enemy command post, which was located on a high ground behind the defense line of the 4th Army. The two of them had just stepped into the headquarters. I saw the deputy army commander Xu, who had been supervising the battle on the front line, shouting into the phone headset: "Damn it, aren't they just a few broken tanks!" Why are you panicking? Are the GD people not even afraid of death and afraid of imperialist tanks? What the! Indian Ah San was terrified...... A bunch of goods that can be eaten but not beaten! Wu Huawen, I order you to strictly enforce battlefield discipline, and anyone who demagogues the hearts of the army will be killed! Cower, kill the head! Those who do not obey military orders will be killed!! After saying the three heads, Xu hung up the phone and headset, and turned his head to see Chen G and Liu Ylou who were looking at him.

"Commander, Y Building, you came just in time." Xu's expression was rare and solemn. "Wu Huawen of the 11th Division just reported that the sound of tank engines was heard at the front of their position, and some of the Indian Ah San in the army were fluctuating!"

Chen G and Liu Yilou glanced at each other, and Chen G said: "Slim will not use the tank separately, his main attack direction is on the northern front, which should be the area defended by the 11th Division." Saying that, he muttered for a while, "Let Zhou Xihan's 12th Division immediately go to reinforce the 11th Division." ”

"Isn't it too early to move the reserves?" Xu frowned and said: "This Wu Huawen is also a veteran general from the National Army, won't he be so unbeaten?" ”

"I agree with the commander of the army and immediately put into reserve." Liu Yilou twisted his eyebrows and took over the topic. "In the Soviet War and the Western European campaign, no infantry division could withstand the assault of two armored divisions! Comrade Wu Huawen's 11th Division was equally impossible. Even our 4th Army will not be able to hold back the Indian armored cluster for too long...... I propose to immediately report to the enemy headquarters in front of the northward advance corps and request reinforcements from the G International Armored Division. "To be continued......
