Chapter 1122: Asking for Help

Mumbai, India's largest industrial city, has become a sea of red flags. The uprising led by the Bolshevik Party in India, which was successful here. The whole of Mumbai, and the surrounding area, is under their control.

Especially after the defeat of the Anglo-Indian army that came to suppress it, countless workers enthusiastically joined their army, so that the army controlled by the Bolshevik Party in India grew rapidly like a snowball.

The city hall of Mumbai has now become the headquarters of the Bombay Uprising. Roy and other leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party personally directed the uprising here. The situation of the uprising is very good, and the leaders of them are also very happy.

"Comrade Secretary, more and more workers are joining our ranks. Now, our army is growing rapidly, and it is about to break the 50,000 mark. Tia Bhakta said with a smile on her face.

"Very well, we must continue to mobilize the masses and let them join our army, only if our strength continues to grow, can we have greater strength to fight against the British colonialists, and can we liberate the whole of India." Luo Yi waved his fist, as if he wanted to vent the excitement and excitement in his heart. Even he himself did not expect that this uprising would go so smoothly.

"But, Comrade Secretary, we don't have enough weapons to arm those troops. Mumbai's arsenal has enough weapons to arm 10,000 men. In addition, we defeated two Anglo-Indian infantry divisions, and the weapons we obtained were only enough to arm more than 40,000 people. The output of the Mumbai Arsenal is not high, and it is only capable of producing a few hundred rifles per day. Nambudi Ribad said.

"That's a problem." Luo Yi frowned. If you don't have enough weapons and ammunition, you can't let the soldiers fight the British colonists with their bare hands, right? In that case, you won't be able to defeat them at all.

At this time, Danji rushed in with an excited face.

"Comrade Secretary, good news! Two Russian cargo ships arrived in Bombay, bringing us 20,000 rifles, hundreds of heavy machine guns and mortars, and a large amount of ammunition. Tangi reported.

"Well, that's great. This time, we have enough weapons to arm the army. I propose that our army be expanded to 80,000 men as soon as possible, and that the name of the rebel army be the Bolshevik Red Army of India. Roy suggested.

Naturally, there were no objections to this proposal, and it was unanimously adopted.

"Comrade Secretary, we have a situation in which the British colonial authorities did not send the Anglo-Indian army to attack us again, but intensified the purge of Bolshevik elements from the Anglo-Indian army. Obviously, the British wanted to eliminate our influence in the Anglo-Indian army, so that the Anglo-Indian army would not be easily defeated by us. In addition, the British colonists also mobilized elite British troops to rush to Bombay. They obviously want to rely on the elite British Army to annihilate us in one fell swoop. Coats said.

"Damn! These Britons are just too despicable. If they don't send the Anglo-Indian army to encircle us, we won't be able to further strengthen us by defeating the Anglo-Indian army. Once their elite troops arrive, we won't be able to deal with them at all. The rest of the leaders of the Bolshevik Party in India were worried. After all, don't look at the magnitude of their current uprising, and they have developed so many armies. But if you really want to fight the elite British Army, it will be a dead end. In the final analysis, the so-called Bolshevik Red Army of India was nothing more than a rabble. Playing a tailwind war, they may be very good at it. However, if you want to fight a tough battle, I am afraid that there will be only collapse.

"Comrade Secretary, what should we do now?" Everyone was a little panicked. They launched an armed uprising, which is tantamount to tying their heads to their belts! Once the uprising had been crushed and they had fallen into the hands of the British, there could have only one outcome, and that would have been to be hanged alive. They don't want to die like this, they want to wait until the uprising is won, and enjoy the glory and wealth.

"Humph! The British want to exterminate us like this, how can it be so easy. Since they don't send Anglo-Indian troops to attack us, then we will take the initiative to attack. Tomorrow, the main force of the Indian Red Army will be sent from Bombay to attack outwards and expand our territory. At the same time, we will also mobilize more people to join us. As long as we can continue to defeat the British and Indian armies, we will be able to get weapons and ammunition from them, and we will be able to further develop and grow. Someday, we will have the strength to stand up to the British. Roy said.

"Comrade Secretary, this is a good way!" Other leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party said one after another.

"Then we'll decide. Tomorrow we will lead the main force out of Mumbai and play a broader hole card. Comrade Coats, you will stay in Bombay, continue to expand the army, resist the attack of the British, and buy us more time. Roy commanded.

"Yes, Comrade Secretary." Coats nodded. Although, he knew that staying in Mumbai was a life and death. If Mumbai is besieged by British* troops, it will most likely fall. However, Luo Yidu personally named him, can he still refuse? Otherwise, it will definitely be disposed of by Luo Yi first.

"Comrades, the counterattack of the British is, of course, a severe test for us. But as long as we can fend off their attacks and take the opportunity to continue to grow, our future is bright. Our revolution will also be victorious. Luo Yi said firmly.

On May 3, 4635, the main force of the Indian Red Army began to attack the interior of India from Mumbai. The main army of 30,000 was divided into two routes. One march to Hyderabad, and the other to central India, in order to establish a wider area of control and deal with British* and Anglo-Indian armies.

Although the Indian Red Army did not receive formal training, it was even more determined to fight. In particular, those former British and Indian soldiers, after joining the Indian Red Army, showed extremely strong combat effectiveness. Along the way, the Indian Red Army attacked the city and was invincible, and countless cities fled from the wind.

The Bolshevik Party of India also announced in due course that it would confiscate the wealth and land of the wealthy landlords and distribute it to the vast number of peasants, which immediately made the Bolshevik Party of India more popular among Indians. Of course, with the lazy character of those Indians. After receiving a lot of wealth from the rich landlords, will they still be honest in farming? That's obviously impossible.

Of course, this did not affect the strength of the Indian Bolshevik Party and the Indian Red Army under its leadership, which continued to grow and develop like a snowball. In a very short period of time, it developed into a presence that made the Indian colonial authorities jaw-dropping.

On May 15, 4635, the British army gathered 50,000 men to attack Mumbai. And the Indian Red Army here was developed later, with only more than 30,000 people. Under the leadership of Coats, they fought hard battles against the British Army. In the end, the British Army took Bombay by virtue of its superiority in strength, weapons and combat quality. However, their casualties were also more than 10,000 people. Coats and other leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party ended up not knowing what to do.

Although, after a lot of hard work, the Indian colonial authorities finally took Mumbai. But they suddenly discovered that the uprising led by the Bolshevik Party in India had not been suppressed by the fall of Bombay, but had grown stronger and stronger.

On the very day of the fall of Mumbai, the Indian Red Army took Hyderabad. Moreover, along the way, the Red Army defeated the British and Indian armies many times, and even set a record of a British and Indian army integrated division directly surrendering to them. As a result, the strength of the Indian Red Army has grown to 100,000 people. On the other hand, the Indian Red Army also gained a firm foothold in central India, and its strength grew to more than 80,000 troops. The entire Deccan Plateau in central and south-central India became controlled by the Indian Red Army. This was completely unacceptable to the Indian colonial authorities.

In addition, the Anglo-Indian army was also greatly affected, and many British and Indian troops fled the barracks directly with weapons and defected to the Indian Red Army. This weakened the military power controlled by the Indian colonial authorities.

"Oh God! How so? Those damned untouchables, not only have they not been exterminated by us, but they have grown stronger. Comrade commander, what should we do now? Governor Victor Hope looked panicked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Anglo-Indian army can no longer be trusted, they are rotten even to the roots. We can't count on them to suppress the untouchables, let them suppress the untouchables, only let them join the Indian Red Army and further strengthen their strength. Sir John Greer Deere said.

"But don't rely on them? What do we do to suppress those untouchables? The strength of the Indian Red Army is now close to 200,000. And, by the moment, their military power is rising. The untouchables of India, who have been bewitched by them, are constantly joining them. The total strength of the British Army in India was only 100,000. Even if all of them were transferred to suppress the Indian Red Army, I am afraid they would not succeed. Governor Victor Hope complained.

"Your Excellency the Governor, we have no other choice but to call for help from home." Sir John Greer Deere said.

Governor Victor Hope looked gloomy, but in the end, he nodded. (To be continued.) )
