"My brigade is between the troops retreating with a large number of wounded and sick, and its nearest destination, Ukruhr. Our army has no hope. We cannot get food, medicine, and nothing..."

"The soldiers were weak and filled with weeds. In the mud that was so deep that it was sank on the road, they could see the bodies of soldiers floating. The equipment was thrown around and the witness of indecent defeat."

"We soldiers who were the conquerors of India, now escape from artillery fire, and with illness, are struggling forward in pain along countless jungle paths."

This is the memory of Lewis Pew, the commander of the 33rd Brigade of the British Army. When he said these words, he began to cry. It was a difficult withdrawal.

He did not hold on to the battle on the position in the end. In other words, the British army did not hold on in the end. A large number of Japanese troops rushed to the position and formed an overwhelming offensive against the British army.

Under such circumstances, the British troops on the position retreated. Then, they received an order from the headquarters Slim to evacuate the position immediately and go to Afghanistan to meet.

How to meet?! The Brigade Commander Lewis Pew was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and began to order him to march quickly to support the battle. Now he ordered him to rush to Afghanistan immediately.

Doesn’t this commander know how far Impal is from Afghanistan?! There is no supplies, no medicine or medical treatment along the way, how can you withdraw a scarred force to Afghanistan?!

But Pew also knew that there was nothing we could do. The Japanese army's strong attack on the British army could not resist. Now all the British army could do was to evacuate here and evacuate towards its own colony.

Southeast Asia is already full of Japanese troops, and neither the United States nor the United Kingdom can provide effective support here. In some ways, these two countries are already unable to take care of themselves.

"All troops are pursuing! Chase immediately! Don't let these British people run away, the Indian National Army immediately joins the pursuit! Your chance to take revenge is here!"

Mutian was very excited now, and the British army finally retreated. Instead, they were defeated and retreated. The weapons and ammunition discarded along the way and the transport vehicles silently showed how miserable the British army was.

"The British were defeated, and they were withdrawing from India to rush towards Afghanistan." In the Defense Forces Command, Tu Mengben took the telegram and said to everyone in front of him: "For the British, this is really a disaster!"

Indeed, disaster never came singularly. Now Britain has lost its territory and the most important colony has also been lost. The cabinet has gone to Canada, and more than half of the navy has been lost, and most of the army has been captured.

The war has reached this level. Britain no longer has any combat effectiveness. If the United States does not take over the baton, then Britain will have to wait for death.

"I didn't expect it! The British Empire, which was extremely arrogant back then, has now fallen to this level. Hey!" The naval commander Shen Honglie, who came to attend the meeting, sighed very much. Once upon a time, Britain had to look up to!

As a result, the Japanese who were beaten by their own army could actually beat the British with great power.

"This is not surprising!" Tu Mengben smiled.

The Battle of Impal in history. The result was that the British won the victory. But this did not mean that the British were so skillful and the soldiers were as powerful as the soldiers.

In fact, this was completely the result of God's help and Mutian, who was commanding the battle at that time, thrust his brain. At that time, the Japanese army was basically a rampant in Asia.

In China's successive victory, these troops were raised extremely arrogantly. Even Mutaguchi Rikka stood on the banks of the Qindun River before the war started, saying wildly, claiming: "The Imperial Army has now reached the point of invincibility in the world. The Sun Flag will declare that the day we will surely win in India is not far away."

So the Japanese army that launched the attack had only prepared a month's supply and ammunition base, and then rushed towards Impal.

In fact, if the British were not so lucky to encounter the rainy season and the Japanese army was not prepared for logistics, the British army would definitely not be much better.

Historically, Mutian led his troops to capture the Sheam Pass on the Berle Highway southeast of Impal, forcing the British and Indian troops to retreat. Mutian was Tannupal, who could directly overlook the main road.

Then Mutian's strong attack forced the British to abandon part of their defense again. At this time, the British were actually at the end of their strength. If Mutian's troops had not been unable to keep up with the logistics, and the jungle and rainy season caused a large number of patients to lose their personnel, they might have broken through the British's positions.

At that time, the troops of the 15th Army in Mutian were exhausted after days of fierce fighting. All the food was lacking from top to bottom. The food rations dropped from 6 taels per day to 4 taels, 3 taels, 15 taels, and even 03 taels. Under this situation, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army greatly decreased.

However, the British and Indian troops are very different. With the support of transport aircraft, they not only obtain basic living supplies every day, but also get items such as cigarettes, sweet wine, coffee, etc.

Then the British had good luck, and the arrival of the rainy season caused mud on the road. Mutian also decided to change the main attack direction at this time, detouring north of Impal, trying to enter Impal from the north.

For this reason, the Japanese army advanced through the slippery and difficult jungle trail. The Japanese 33rd Division and the 15th Division, which were deployed, collided head-on with the British-Indian 20th Division in the jungle, and then launched a fierce battle.

With sufficient supplies, sufficient weapons, ammunition and military strength, the British and Indian troops were beaten to pieces by the Japanese army who only ate 03 2 meters a day.

This time, the Japanese rushed out of the jungle and rushed all the way to the edge of Impal. But at this time, their supplies were gone. They only ate 03 taels a day and continued for several months and experienced a series of hard battles...

At this time, the Japanese army had no power to launch an attack. These tragic Japanese troops fought hard all the way to the door of the British army in Impal, but found that they were unable to move in again. This was indeed a huge irony for the Japanese.

Similar to the battle situation in Impal's side, the attack of the 31st Japanese Division in the direction of Kohima was also at the end of its strength.

The arrival of the rainy season made this situation even worse. According to statistics, at least more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were infected with malaria, dysentery, cholera, influenza and other diseases, especially the military nemesis, typhoid fever, which spread rampantly.

Due to the lack of medicines and medical equipment, I had to watch the sick soldiers waiting to die or commit suicide. At that time, a total of 100,000 Japanese troops fought, but less than 20,000 people were finally back.

At least 80,000 people died in this battle. But only more than 32,000 people died on the battlefield, or in other words, they died. Almost all of them died of dysentery, malaria, and even washed away by the outbreak of mountain torrents and mudslides.

Tu Mengben couldn't help but sigh that the butterfly effect is really not to be underestimated. After the Japanese suffered a great loss in China, they began to become cautious about the operations of each unit.

The direct consequence of this is that this time, the British army did not achieve the record of annihilation of 80,000 enemies as in history, but instead retreated from India after losing more than half of the army.

What Tu Mengben did not expect was that the Indians would choose to cooperate with the Japanese at this time to fulfill their dream of driving away the British's independence.

In fact, this is understandable. Later India has had great favors for the "Indian National Army" that helped the Japanese attack India during World War II. For example, Chandra Boss, the leader of the Indian National Army, even among the three portraits hanging in front of the Indian Parliament Hall in the early 21st century, Chandra Boss' portrait was side by side with Gandhi and Nehru.

This shows Chandra Boss' evaluation in India. On the 100th anniversary of Boss's birth, India even issued commemorative stamps specifically for him.

Chandra Bossin was the former chairman of the Congress Party. Of course, he had disagreements with Gandhi's "non-violent" movement. He wanted to carry out a violent revolution directly. It was precisely because of this that he lost the support of conservatives in Congress Party such as Gandhi.

"Well... the Japanese have occupied India. Next they will definitely consider the Middle East." Tu Mengben pointed at the table with his finger and said in a deep voice: "And then, the biggest possibility is to join forces with Germany to launch a war against the Soviet Union."

As he said that, Tu Mengben turned around and looked at the map without saying a word. The generals below were discussing the actions of the Japanese in a low voice.

Obviously, after the Japanese captured India, there would definitely be a lot of raw materials. In order to facilitate the plunder of India's resources, the British still did a lot of infrastructure construction in India.

Even when China was just liberated, infrastructure construction and industry could not catch up with India. Japan obtained India. Then it received a lot of resources. Even with the support of the Congress, they could even recruit a large number of Indians to join the army.

"Let the Southwest Military Region intensify its attack, and the Japanese cannot relax." How could Tu Mengben see the seriousness of the problem? If the Japanese consolidated their rule in India, then once they united Germany to attack the Soviet Union.

It would be hard for the Soviet Union to die. If the Soviet Union died, the National Defense Force would have to face the threats from the Japanese and Germans directly above its heads.

"Let the South China Military Region be repaired as soon as possible, and then launch a full-scale attack on Annan from Fangchenggang, Pingxiang and other places!" After a pause, Tu Mengben continued: "The troops from the Southwest Military Region to Kandi's attack will retreat first. It is not a good thing for us to conquer India by the Japanese. Don't make dumplings for others..."

Tu Mengben's orders were issued one by one. The heads of troops at all levels below took out notes and recorded the orders one by one.

After giving the order, Tu Mengben took the notes and looked at them and returned them.

"This time, it depends on whether the Soviets can hold on..."

"Three months! Within three months, we must launch a battle against the Soviet Union!" Hitler shouted excitedly in his command center in Berlin, Germany.

"Our resources are now in the hands of the Soviets, and they have sold them to us! But they have taken them away with despicable means, which is absolutely intolerable!"

Of course, the Head of State would never mention that these resources were also seized by him with despicable means. In order to seize these resources, the Head of State also provoked a civil war in the Soviet Union and led to a full-scale recession in the Soviet Union.

"Dear Head, although I also want to launch an attack on the Soviet Union as soon as possible. But the current situation is that our army needs some rest and repairs." Marshal Walter von Blauchci, the commander-in-chief of the Army, said with a wry smile at Hitler.

"We did conquer Europe, the Head of State! This is your achievement, but continuous combat also caused great losses to us. If we force the war against the Soviet Union at this time, this will not be a good thing for us."

Hitler's face was gloomy and sunny. To be honest, the resources that the Soviet Union controlled were like swords hanging above Hitler. Especially after the informants within the Soviet Union sent back news that Hitler was extremely angry after the Soviet Union had secretly contacted the situation of the United States.

"Everyone. I need you to know that the Soviets are trying to get close to the Americans now. I believe that you know better than me." Hitler slowed down his tone and said, "Attacking the Soviet Union and taking down those resources is our established strategy. This will not only use this as a springboard to completely defeat Britain, but also obtain a large amount of resources..."

"So, this is something we must implement. Now the Soviet Union must consider getting more weapons from the Americans, which is extremely unfavorable for us. Everyone, so we hope you will complete the renovation and launch a battle against the Soviet Union as soon as possible!"

Hitler paused, stood up and shouted, "Okay! Then tell me. How long will it take for our army to trim?!"

Everyone looked at me, and I saw that you didn't say anything. In the end, Marshal Blaushich spoke, but saw him saying to Hitler: "First of the People, it will take at least half a year to repair it. Especially waiting for the troops to change into new weapons..."

"Four months! I can only give you four months!" Before Marshal Blauchic finished speaking, Hitler interrupted directly: "In terms of weapons, I will let the factory produce you with all their strength. Now we have many prisoners of war, and I believe they will speed up the production speed."

"But I can only give you four months to prepare for the Soviet Union! Four months later, what I hope to see is the scythe hammer flag descending from the Kremlin, and our German flag is hung on it!"

Having said this, what else can Marshal Blaushichi say?!

"Hi! Hitler!"

At this time, bursts of laughter came from the Ri Palace. Hirohito laughed happily after learning that the army had captured India!

"Tell the Immortal Palace. Just say I am very happy! They finally brought me some good news." Hirohito was very happy. The Japanese army conquered less than 6,000 casualties.

This seemed to him as an extraordinary achievement. As long as it was a victory, Hirohito felt it was worth celebrating.

"Is that commander called Muda?! Tell the Ichien-gumiya and Tojo. This person can be a general!" Hirohito said to the eunuch beside him: "I draft an imperial edict for me, and I will ask Muda to do it well! As long as he keeps bringing victory to the empire, I will not be rewarded for the position of the marshal!"

"Hayi!"

After Hirohito's imperial edict was issued, it caused a shock to the entire army. Good guy, can he be promoted so much after winning the battle?! Even the emperor made a promise from the marshal, and countless people's eyes were red with jealousy.

In fact, Hirohito's reward was indeed a bit too heavy. But he was more considering how to revitalize morale after the failure of the Chinese war. Undoubtedly, Muta's achievements have the effect of injecting a needle into a strong man.

After this battle, the Japanese army became more vigilant again, and countless army officers and soldiers were ready to go to the battlefield to show their skills. No one mentioned the failure on the Chinese battlefield again.

The British army in India were defeated, and the miserable situations of the Japanese army now fell on their heads. As the governor, Victor flew away directly in a plane when Slim received the order to retreat.

The Slim people insisted on taking their troops to evacuate from India. The positions had been broken, and more than 80,000 Japanese troops rushed into India.

With the Indian National Army, the Japanese army had more than 130,000 troops controlled by the Japanese. Chandra Boss's connections and reputation had already vaguely surpassed Gandhi as the British drove away.

After all, the "non-violence" led by Gandhi has never driven away the British, but Chandra Boss led his men back to India from Singapore and drove away the British.

Of course, those Indians would subconsciously ignore the fact that the Japanese were helpful, just as they later ignored Chandra Boss, who was once the Japanese, joined the army.

After conquering India, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo immediately announced his recognition of India as an independent country and congratulated India on gaining independence from British control.

This greatly increased Chandra Boss' reputation in India, and therefore India had a great favor for the Japanese who "liberated" them. Most of the former British Indian Army soldiers chose to join Chandra Boss' Indian National Army directly.

For a time, the whole of India was in great momentum! Chandra Boss even led his Forward Group to directly overwhelm the Gandhi Congress party. Many people in the Congress party chose to cooperate with Chandra Boss.

Among them, Nehru is included.

"Cheers to the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle!" Chandra Boss smiled so hard that he couldn't see the eyes. This was the situation he saw in countless dreams, but at this moment they were all in his hands.

"Cheers!" Muta laughed and drank the glass of wine. He had already received the news that Hirohito asked the camp to leapt him into a general! He even said that as long as he kept winning, the position of the marshal was just around the corner.
Chapter completed!
