"There are only a few thousand enemies on the coast, and they are weak India natives. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low. We only need to launch a wave of attacks to successfully land and defeat them. Remember, we must be as intact as possible We will seize the port here and create conditions for the landing of our army brothers," Germany 3rd Marine Division commander Major General Adam said to his Regimental Commander battalion commanders.
"If we can't even defeat those India natives, then we will become the laughing stock, not only of Marine Corps, but also of the entire army and even the country! So, gentlemen, I need a clean victory to let those India natives know what kind of enemy they are facing!" Major General Adam continued.
"Don't worry, General. We will definitely defeat those India natives in this battle. We can defeat them very easily! I promise!" said Regimental Commander, who was in charge of the first wave of attacks.
"In that case, it couldn't be better." Major General Adam said.
"General, the fleet has informed us that landing operations can be carried out." A Communications Officer reported.
"1st Regiment, let's go!" Major General Adam ordered.
"Yes, General!" 1st Regiment Regimental Commander replied.
A few minutes later, thousands of soldiers from 3rd Marine Division 1st Regiment rushed to the beach of Alibag on hundreds of landing craft.
"God! The Germany people have launched a landing operation. Get into position quickly! We must not let the Germany people rush to the beach, otherwise we will be finished. That's what they did in British mainland!" a British major battalion commander yelled. As a veteran who experienced local combat and was lucky enough to survive and escape to Canada, and was later sent to India, he knew very well how powerful the Germany people were.
Those India soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the shelling rolled and crawled into the trenches under the urging of the British officers, knowing that they were beaten and kicked. They looked at the sea with panic on their faces. The landing craft that were rushing towards the beach were like monsters.
"Asshole, what are you doing standing still? Shoot!" a British officer yelled.
"Bang! Bang!"
On the Anglo-Indian Army's position, sparse gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the sea, causing splashes of water. However, it does not pose any threat to German Marine Corps at all.
"Machine gun and mortar fire! Destroy the Germany people's landing craft!" a British officer ordered.
However, as soon as his order was given, dense artillery shells fell on their position.
Several German military's Light Cruiser and destroyers drove to the sea only two or three kilometers away from the beach, and poured artillery shells on the Anglo-Indian Army's position in a truly crazy manner. These small and medium-caliber Naval Gun shells may not be as powerful as the large-caliber Naval Gun. However, it is still a fatal threat to these ordinary soldiers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dense shells fell on the beach, and continuous explosions sounded. Those Anglo-Indian soldier who were hiding in the trenches and firing were torn to pieces in the explosion.
Many Anglo-Indian soldier were killed before a single shot was fired.
"Damn it, the Germany people received fire support from Naval Warship. Their artillery fire was so fierce that we couldn't resist their attack at all!" A British officer saw this scene and wanted to cry without tears.
"What to do? No one expected that the Germany people would land at Alibag. We have already reported to Mumbai, but it will take at least two or three hours for Mumbai's reinforcements to arrive. And in two or three hours, the Germany people have already conquered Alibag."
Indeed, German military would choose Alibag as the landing point, completely beyond the expectations of Britain. This left them with no preparation at all and only deployed a few thousand people here.
Anglo-Indian Army There are currently twenty-five group armies, but there are only three group armies with combat effectiveness in front of them. Among them, 1st Army Corps stays behind Delhi, 2nd Army Corps guards Mumbai, and 3rd Army Corps guards Calcutta. The remaining twenty-two newly formed armies are deployed elsewhere. Although Anglo-Indian Army has strong troops, its combat effectiveness is very poor. Many people have just learned how to shoot. As for whether it can hit the target, it depends on God's will. Other combat qualities are even more pitiful. Once such a force encounters the most powerful German Army in the world, one can naturally imagine what the consequences will be.
The interception of the Anglo-Indian Army had no impact at all on German Marine Corps. Originally, it was supposed to be the most dangerous thing before washing up on the beach. However, in this battle, Anglo-Indian Army caused almost no decent losses to German Marine Corps.
Soon, the first landing craft washed up on the beach. More than a dozen Marine Corps members jumped down from above.
Landing craft washed up on the beach are very dangerous and will most likely become the target of concentrated enemy fire. Therefore, Marine Corps members must escape as soon as possible after landing.
Sure enough, they came under intense firepower from the Anglo-Indian Army. Although a steel plate is installed in the front of the landing craft, it can withstand bullets. But there was no such thing on both sides, which were riddled with holes directly in the battle.
Marine Corps members who have just logged in are often very dangerous. They lay on the beach, bullets whizzing past their heads. If you look up without paying attention, you might get hit. Ordinary people simply cannot bear that kind of psychological pressure.
As more and more landing craft washed up on the beach, more and more Marine Corps members landed. They gradually began to counterattack, and with the strong firepower support of the naval fleet, they broke through the Anglo-Indian Army's defense line.
Under the fierce bombardment of German fleet, Anglo-Indian Army's casualties were already very high. After being violently attacked by German Marine Corps, it collapsed very quickly.
In less than half an hour, Germany 3rd Marine Division 1st Regiment occupied the beach and created a safe landing site. Subsequently, they launched an attack on Alibag city.
With heavy losses and Sergeant First Class's low morale, the Anglo-Indian Army stationed at Alibag collapsed. German Marine Corps easily occupied this place. Best of all, the port is virtually intact.
Other units of Marine Corps, which had been prepared for a long time, as well as the elite Infantry Division of the army 8th Army Corps, also began to land. Taking down Alibag is just the first step. To defeat the Anglo-Indian Army stationed at Mumbai and capture the entire Mumbai is victory.
