Chapter 322 Governor's Avenue

The sun jumped out of the horizon in the morning, and the coolness of the night disappeared in an instant, and the heat began to sweep the earth, and the crystal dew instantly dissipated.

"Damn the ghost place, damn the weather!" Liao Yaoxiang hated the damn heat of India, wiped the traces of sweat and smoke on his face. Liao Yaoxiang pushed away the bread handed over by the adjutant, and took the telescope to look at the building opposite for a long time. Governor's Avenue is a high-standard highway built by the British in Kolkata. In addition to dividing Kolkata into two direct ports, Governor's Avenue, with the Governor's Office as the end, will have a small street garden or fountain every 100 meters, which undoubtedly widens the road surface. A total of four Governors in front and behind this avenue took ten years to completely build. Governor's Avenue can be regarded as a cityscape in Kolkata.

Most of the buildings and prosperous areas in Kolkata are on both sides of the Governor's Avenue, and now the prosperity of the past has long disappeared. No! The smoke has not actually dissipated, but it has become thicker, but the smoke has become smoke and the building has become ruins.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force defenders in Kolkata used numerous buildings on the Governor's Avenue to deploy defenses, and also organized several assault teams with a large-scale tank battalion behind the defense line. No matter where the Japanese army attempted to force breakthroughs, they would encounter a head-on attack from the Chinese defenders.

The "Governor's Avenue" running through the north and south became the "Sad Avenue" of the Japanese army. There is no place to hide on the Governor's Avenue, which is nearly 30 meters wide. Whether it is a cluster charge or a small team breakthrough or a single infiltration, the Japanese offensive forces will directly face the defending firepower points hidden in various buildings.

When the hot sun shines on the densely packed Japanese troops abandoned corpses on the Governor's Avenue, the heat will be replaced by a deep tremor.

Before dawn, about forty minutes ago, Okazaki Kiyosaburo personally arrived at the main wing of the division, and the commander of the division was trying to show his strength in front of the division commander, so he organized his troops to launch a fierce attack along the streets of about 500 meters in the center of Kolkata. He unexpectedly used mortars to fire mustard poison gas, causing many Chinese soldiers in a nearby company to be poisoned without any precautions. The Japanese army finally made a breakthrough in the commercial department store. About a squadron of Japanese troops rushed into the building and launched a fierce battle with about one squad of the Chinese defenders. All the Chinese defenders' machine gun squads died after bravely resisting.

Zheng Dongguo was so sad that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was putting poison gas in the city. He was furious and immediately ordered the artillery troops of the Third Mechanized Army to carry out artillery fire blocking the Japanese army's breakthrough areas, and dispatched counterattack troops to block the Japanese army's breakthrough.

When the tanks of the Chinese Expeditionary Force drove out of the streets and alleys with the blue smoke, they collided head-on with the Japanese breakthrough troops. The Japanese army was suddenly knocked over by the dense firepower of the Chinese army. A Satan fire-breathing tank even spiraled into the Japanese crowd. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were out of defense were crushed under the car.

Wherever the burnt flames passed, the Japanese soldiers hid in the hiding place were immediately burned into a sea of ​​fire. Japanese soldiers covered in fire rushed to the street.

The Japanese Second Division lasted for nearly an hour and finally ended with most of the casualties of the Army Corps. It was in the same situation as the Second Division. The Japanese 33rd Division and the 15th Division both encountered stubborn blockades in the Chinese army when they followed the British and Indian troops to cross the Governor's Avenue. They fought hard without any achievements.

The Japanese army, willing to fail, met and coordinated by the three division commanders. Before dawn, they occupied the buildings opposite the Governor's Avenue and set up firepower to attack the Chinese defenders. They used field artillery to approach and destroy the opponent's firepower point map to cover the troops and launch a multi-point attack again.

When he learned about the frontline situation, Chang Tian released all nineteen fire-breathing tanks at hand. He marched along the Governor's Avenue and turned all the buildings in the west of the road into a sea of ​​fire. The raging fire made the Japanese army scream and carefully organized the attack and died in the belly. The battle situation in Kolkata entered a stalemate stage.

The failure to take advantage of the situation to bring Kolkata down 10% of the time. Fengwen of the mountain was extremely regretful. He had set up such a large area, used so much manpower, material resources, and combat power, and abandoned so much. In the end, he could not achieve his full results. This made Fengwen of the mountain really unacceptable. However, the war in front of him also made him worried.

"I finally attacked Kolkata and occupied it! It was better than being able to get nothing! I believe there must be a lot of materials for seized land.

"Yanxia Fengwen comforted himself in helplessness.

As the highest military commander of one side, Yamashita Tomoto naturally understands the current situation. Under the general situation, both the officers and soldiers below and the base camp are very optimistic about the prospects of this Indian strategy. Even Yamashita Tomoto himself was intoxicated by the bright prospects, but Tanaka Shinichi failed to drag down the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. On the contrary, important strategic goals such as Impal were attacked by Chinese paratroopers.

He cut off the international supply line in China himself. On the other hand, Song Yuhang cut off his supply line? The few ammunition and materials left forced him to implement the strategy he had set step by step. How long can the Chinese people last? Fengwen Yamashita was very distressed about this, intelligence! Especially the serious lack of information about the Chinese Expeditionary Force made Fengwen Yamashita feel like he was walking on a night road, unable to see or hear, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force was loyal to the Chinese Expeditionary Force in China.

It is extremely special, and all its strategies and tactical plans are formulated and implemented by it. Except for a policy report to the chairman of Chongqing, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Military Commission, etc. cannot interfere. Where can the nails laid by the Japanese army obtain specific information from the expeditionary force from Chongqing? Yamashita Fengfu is very clear that the current situation has determined who can't hold on, and who will be doomed to be defeated.

The one-night offensive has divided Kolkata into two parts: East and West. The frequent attacks of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's tanks and armored vehicles made Yamashita feel very passive. The Type 95 fighting vehicle equipped by the troops he commanded cannot be compared with the m4 Erman A3e8 medium tank equipped by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. What makes him a headache is that the Chinese Expeditionary Force first appeared on the Indian-Myanmar battlefield, a light tank similar to the US m3 light tank. This tank is more flexible than the m3 and has thicker armor. The long-barrel 37mm l48 guns equipped with the long-barrel 37mm l48 guns are far more powerful than the 37mm long-barrel gun of the Type 95 light tank. Most of the troops under his command lack effective anti-tank weapons. Whether in field or street combat, for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which often uses fast interlude and cooperates with the infantry division and annihilation tactic, Feng Wen can only accept this undesirable result.

Since most of the Kolkata city had been occupied, Yamashita Fengwen decided that the troops would temporarily stop attacking, count the seized weapons, equipment and ammunition, and open the British army's material warehouse. He hoped that the British had prepared the much-needed anti-tank weapons for themselves.

Yamashita Fengfu, who was preparing to launch an attack after the troops were supplemented, quickly received rewards from his subordinates. Among the 27 important material storage warehouses in Kolkata, 25 of them are located in the east of the city and only 2 of them are located in the west of the city.

Only then did the stunned Yamashita Fengwen realize that all the seizures had been conquered after all his hard nights?

The Indian faction on the side: Major General Kobayashi Kawashima, the new intelligence officer of the army, knew that he could no longer refuse, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, you, after interrogating British prisoners of war, we learned that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had emptied all nine of the eleven material warehouses in the west of the city after the war started, which was unexpected."

Yamashita Takamoto knew that this was not the time to take responsibility, so he waved his hand and said, "Kobayashi, please don't blame yourself for not being your own responsibility. In fact, we really know too little about the Chinese Expeditionary Force, a unit that seems to be independent of the Chinese military command system!"

Kobayashi Kawashima frowned when he heard Feng Wen's words, and a conclusion appeared in his heart: "Yamashima Shin seems to excuse himself on the surface, but his words meant to blame the intelligence agencies. It seems that his failure to occupy Kolkata was the fault of the intelligence agencies for failing to provide accurate information?"

In Kobayashi Kawashima, it seems like a mess. Is this the case that as long as there is an unfavorable general in the front, you can criticize it as a failure caused by the failure of the intelligence agency to provide exact information?

In response, Kobayashi Kawashita smiled slightly: "The Commander said the news of the subordinates' concerns is certainly one aspect, but even if some incompetent officials and assistants give them accurate information, they will still mess up the matter. For these incompetent people, you still have to worry more about the commander."

Although Xiaohexia smiled, the words in her mouth were extremely strong. The intelligence agencies directly under the base camp stationed in all fronts and above are directly assigned and appointed by the base camp. Strictly speaking, their task is to assist the commander and the two sides have no affiliation, so Kobayashi Kawashi is not afraid of the mountain to worship.

After a bold confrontation under the Kobayashi River, Fengwen's temple jumped a few times, but finally he held it back, laughed, and said inexplicably that it needed to make a decision! He turned around and left...

Yamashita Fengfu's departure made Kobayashi, who was scolded, stunned in place. He needed to make a decision? Kobayashita repeatedly savored this seemingly irrelevant sentence. What was he hinting at? Kobayashita was in deep thought.

The war in Kolkata can be said to have been launched the whole body the previous one. On the periphery of Impal, Sakaishi held the distance and looked at the quiet Impal carefully. However, except for the buildings that were still burning after the previous bombing, the whole city fell into a dead silence and could not see any enemy.

"It's not a good sign!" Sakai Shichi sighed slightly. As a commander, he was more willing to see Chinese paratroopers urgently deploying defenses and digging trenches to build bunkers, so that he would feel more at ease.

"Will the Chinese paratroopers give up on Impala?" Sakai Shichi was also angry at his naive thoughts. The motorized troops he led arrived in Impala two hours later than the scheduled time. Communications were interrupted and the deadly silence in the city already explained the problem.

However, it was a bit late to launch the attack at Shiichi Sakai. The 1,200 people in his motorized team were about 3-4 hours ahead of the main force who marched on foot. This means that once he launched an attack, it would take at least 3-4 hours to get reinforcements. Just as Shiichi Sakai hesitated and wandered between attack and waiting, Yamashita Tomofumi wanted to access his radio station! (To be continued.
