"General, 71st Infantry Division and 72nd Infantry Division have been holding out for five days. They have caused great casualties to the Anglo-Indian Army. However, most of their ammunition has been used up., if they persist for three days at most, they may have to break out and retreat, otherwise, they will be surrounded and annihilated by the Anglo-Indian Army due to exhaustion of ammunition!" Lieutenant General Rundstedt reported.
Lieutenant General Ludendorff nodded. "I understand!"
A large part of the reason why German military is powerful is because German military's firepower is very powerful. This leaves the enemy with no other option when facing the powerful firepower of German military.
However, the powerful firepower also consumes a lot of German military's troops. The pressure on logistical supplies is also great. If there is no ammunition, the weapon in German military's hand is no different from a fire stick. Once entering hand-to-hand combat, although the strong German military soldiers obviously have an advantage over the thin India soldiers, it is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. By then, German military's end will definitely be very miserable.
Since the last World War, German military Infantry Division has never been a martyr who was eliminated by the establishment. If on the India battlefield, German military loses two Infantry Division at once, that will definitely be a record. Of course, it's a bad record. Even if General Ludendorff has the trust of Oscar, he will never be able to bear this responsibility.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Ludendorff has no other choice.
"Send Telegram to 8th Armored Division! Two days later, launch an attack. Directly attack the main force of the Britain people. British Army in India's troops are not many, only more than 200,000. They are now concentrated in the area north of Ajmer. I need 8th Armored Division to defeat them. 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division will act together with 8th Armored Division. After defeating British Army in India, expand the results as much as possible and defeat Anglo-Indian Army!" ordered General Ludendorff.
If 71st Infantry Division and 72nd Infantry Division on the front line still have enough ammunition, he hopes to launch the attack as late as possible. In this case, Anglo-Indian Army can make German military pay a higher price in front of German military's solid defense line. Unfortunately, circumstances did not allow it.
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Rundstedt immediately went to give the order.
On the morning of April 3, German 8th Armored Division, 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division launched an attack. In order to allow 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division to keep up with the advancement speed of 8th Armored Division, General Ludendorff specially mobilized a large number of Truck for their use. The speed of car wheels is naturally much faster than human legs.
Although British Army in India was fifty kilometers away, German 8th Armored Division launched an attack on them three hours later. At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.
German military's sudden attack left British Army in India unprepared. Even though the combat effectiveness of these troops composed of Britain people is far higher than that of the Anglo-Indian Army. However, facing the Steel Torrent consisting of more than two hundred tanks, these Britain people can only do one thing, and that is to run away immediately.
Although, British government, who is in exile from Canada, has begun to jointly develop new tanks with Americans. But unfortunately, it has not been developed yet. Therefore, those advanced tanks cannot be used in British Army in India. Their methods of dealing with tanks are nothing more than using anti-tank weapons or launching attacks with Cluster Grenade and Explosive Pack.
This kind of tactics is no different from the previous game World War.
When facing Steel Torrent from German military, it is difficult to succeed with such tactics.
Under the crushing force of German military's tank tracks, the performance of these Britain people was not much better than that of HMS Indomitable.
"God! Where is Anti-tank Gun? Stop German tanks! Otherwise, our position will collapse!" a brigadier general yelled.
However, none of his officers and soldiers listened to him at all. Facing those tanks of German military, they believed that the only chance to survive was to escape immediately. If you stay and fight, you will only die.
After the fall of the mainland, although many Britain people were determined to revive British Empire. However, it is undeniable that their morale has plummeted. In their hearts, they have already developed a fear of Germany people. When facing German military, I didn't have the courage to continue fighting. Although, their combat qualities may be much better than HMS Indomitable. But their fighting spirit is almost the same as HMS Indomitable.
"Crunch, crunch!"
The tank's tracks crushed British positions stationed in India. 73rd Infantry Division and 74th Infantry Division, who accompanied 8th Armored Division in the battle, broke through British Army in India's defense line with the assistance of 8th Armored Division, and began to cooperate with Armored Forces to eliminate the remaining enemies on the position and further expand the results.
British Army in India was unable to resist German offensive. A large number of British soldiers even raised their hands and surrendered. Many people fled from British mainland to India. Although their fighting power is very strong, they have developed a fear of German military. Under such circumstances, their performance was also very poor.
After the collapse of British Army in India, it had a great impact on the Anglo-Indian Army. German military took the initiative to retreat before they launched an attack.
Moreover, it was not the British generals who issued the retreat order, nor was there an order from William Lord Nicholson. Those India soldiers retreated spontaneously. This is not because of other reasons, but because they have been frightened by the Germany people. Therefore, they retreated directly.
The several Anglo-Indian Army group armies that were Encirclement Offensive Ajmer had already suffered heavy losses. After learning that British Army in India was defeated by German military. At the same time, after several armies had retreated in the past few days, they no longer had the courage to continue fighting. If German military encircles them, wouldn't they be doomed?
With almost no other orders, several Anglo-Indian Army group armies of Encirclement Offensive Ajmer also ran away.
When William Lord Nicholson learned that the battle situation had changed like this, he was also stunned and couldn't believe this fact at all.
Before the decisive battle began, he was full of confidence in this battle. You know, he has assembled a total of 1.8 million troops, including 200,000 elite troops composed of Britain people. However, what he didn't expect was that the first person to collapse would be British Army in India, who had high hopes for him. Obviously, they failed again in this decisive battle.
