Chapter 316 The Crazy British Army!
"Yoshi, you are right. If we don't fight for it, I'm afraid these steels will be divided up by others. Now the fighter planes of various countries are being updated and replaced, and our fighter planes also need to be replaced." Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka took a deep breath and then spoke again.

"The fighter planes of the Sichuan Army Corps are indeed beyond my expectations. Next, let the Intelligence Division increase intelligence gathering and make sure to find out what type of new fighter planes they have."

"At the same time, ask the Dongye Battalion in Wuzhou to stop the attack. We must not act rashly before we understand the attitude of the Sichuan Army."

The successive loss of more than thirty fighter planes is already a huge loss.

You know, these are all elite pilots.

Each person's flying time is more than two hundred hours, or even more.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka felt extremely distressed and could only give up the idea of ​​revenge.

Little did he know that his city of Guangzhou was about to be surrounded.

.........

On the other hand, since ending the call with Stilwell, Admiral Wavell has been wondering what Stilwell meant by that sentence.

The Japanese army used special bullets?
What does it have to do with him?

What's more, international conventions prohibit the use of special ammunition.

If he used it, he would definitely be condemned.

and many more!

The Japanese army has already used it, which means that the Japanese army has taken the lead in violating the convention.

As an ally, it was not against the rules for him to use special bullets.

You may even be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Admiral Wavell felt that it was worth a try.

After all, he is under too much pressure now.

The two divisions transferred from Afghanistan could only barely hold the front line of defense.

But Tianzhu is so huge that it is unrealistic to completely block the Japanese army.

The best way is to kill a large number of Japanese troops.

But there is another problem: who will fill in the lines?

Let the British army fill the line?

What a joke.

How could the noble British army possibly fill the line?

Let the natives fill in the lines?

forget it.

I'm afraid there will be a mutiny on the spot.

Just as Admiral Wavell was still hesitating whether to use special bullets, the communications staff came in with a telegram.

"Admiral Wavell, news has come from the front that two Japanese divisions have arrived. It is estimated that the total strength of the Japanese troops on the front line will exceed 100,000. According to reconnaissance feedback, the Japanese army is currently stockpiling supplies and is expected to launch a general offensive soon."

"In addition, the indigenous peoples in various places are also ready to make a move. Some federations have already declared rebellion. Once they join forces with the Japanese army, I am afraid that the troops on the front line will be defeated."

Admiral Wavell was completely silent after hearing what the communications officer said.

He knew he couldn't be indecisive any longer.

Thinking of this, Admiral Wavell spoke.

"Where are the special ammunition shipped from England?"

Hearing this, the combat staff officer next to him was stunned.

"Admiral Wavell, you want to use special bullets? This is against international conventions."

During the First World War, both sides threw special bombs at each other, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Later, an international convention was signed prohibiting the use of special ammunition.

After all, they are all world powers, and the production of special bullets is not a difficult task.

So during World War II, people became unusually restrained.

But now when they heard that Admiral Wavell was going to use special bullets, everyone in the headquarters naturally reacted strongly.

"It was the Japanese army that violated the international convention first. We are just retaliating on behalf of our allies." Admiral Wavell knew that he had to find a suitable reason, otherwise his subordinates would not support his use of special bullets.

"Damn it, these bastards actually dared to use special bullets?"

"Is this true?"

"Do they dare to violate international conventions?"

Because the Japanese army would block the news after using special bullets, these people did not know that the Japanese army actually violated the convention by using special bullets.

"Of course it's true. This is what Lieutenant General Stilwell said himself." Admiral Wavell looked at everyone and said seriously.

"So, as allies, we must retaliate."

"We must let the Japanese know the consequences of violating the convention."

After hearing this, everyone in the headquarters looked at each other, felt that it made sense, and then agreed with Admiral Wavell's idea.

Admiral Wavell heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As long as we can use special bullets, I believe we can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, the pressure that had been tense for a long time was instantly relieved a lot.

"Let the artillery prepare, wait for orders, and fire special bullets." Admiral Wavell continued.

The launch of this thing depends on the weather. If it is against the wind, not only will it fail to harm the Japanese army, but it will also bring bad luck to our side, which would be a loss.

"Yes."

…………

At one o'clock in the morning on August 1942, 8, in the Japanese position outside the city of Dhanbad, most of the Japanese soldiers began to fall asleep.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when people sleep the deepest and feel the most sleepy.

At this moment, dozens of bonfires were burning on the Japanese positions. The blazing bonfires not only illuminated the surroundings, but also gave the Japanese troops a certain sense of security.

Not far away, Japanese soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

This is a habit they have developed. They don't want to be approached in the middle of the night and lose their lives.

However, as the three-sided encirclement unfolded, the Japanese army relaxed their vigilance.

After all, in their opinion, the British army on the opposite side has already been trapped in a jar. As long as they work harder tomorrow, they will be able to completely wipe out this British army.

Of course, to be on the safe side, we still send out patrols to monitor the opposite side at all times.

Prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

After all, these are experiences gained by the Japanese army with blood.

In other words, Kawabe Masazo is more cautious than before.

Before this, he might have been rather arrogant, but with the arrival of reinforcements, he put away his arrogance and began to become much more cautious.

However, what they didn't expect was that there were hundreds of fully armed soldiers on the opposite side, staring at them intently.

"Sir, the Japanese defense is very tight, and they have reinforced their troops. There are at least a thousand Japanese soldiers outside the city now." A British major said to the colonel beside him.

"These damn Japanese troops, it's better to increase the troops. I'm afraid they won't increase the troops. The more people the better, and then more people will die." The British colonel cursed first, and then a crazy expression appeared on his face. His troops suffered heavy losses during this period.

The infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people lost nearly a quarter of its men.

Normally, with this loss ratio, it is enough to retreat.

However, Dhanbad is an important military town. Once it is lost, the entire northern part of India will be completely lost.

Therefore, even if they lost a quarter of their troops, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.

Now that he heard that special bullets were going to be used, he welcomed it particularly.

After all, this would inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese army and avenge all the grievances they had suffered during this period.

"When will it be ready?" The British colonel looked at the major beside him and said.

"Five more minutes." The major said quickly.

"Tell everyone to be prepared."

"Yes." Not long after, a dull sound was heard from the sky.

Then a sharp whistling sound quickly passed over their heads, and after a few seconds, a series of low explosions sounded in the Japanese positions.

"Baga, artillery fire, artillery fire, quickly dodge."

On the battlefield, the half-drowsy Japanese soldier opened his eyes and heard his companions' shouts.

Subconsciously, he held his weapon, ready to rush out of the position and fight back.

I just smelled the smell in the air and felt it was a bit weird.

Of course, they didn't think much about it and thought they had just woken up and had a blocked nose.

The main thing is that the smell of special bullets is not pungent, but instead has a slight fragrance, which is very much like the smell of apples.

"Nani, do you smell anything?"

"Yes, indeed, they look like the apples from my hometown."

"Souga, it smells so good!"

But after the soldier finished speaking, he felt dizzy and then he found he couldn't breathe.

"Baga, it's a special bullet, it's a special bullet." The experienced veteran immediately recognized that it was a special bullet.

"Baga, put on your gas mask."

"Baga, stop rushing."

Unfortunately, it's too late.

You should know that in the production of special bullets, the British Empire's technology is several times stronger than that of the Japanese army.

So the effect is very fast.

It can kill a person quickly within three to five minutes.

As for why the Japanese army reacted so slowly, it was mainly because they had always used special bombs to bomb others, and had never been bombed by others with special bombs.

By the time they reacted, only one in ten of the thousands of people were left.

After waiting for a while, the British colonel estimated that the time was about right and signaled his subordinates to rush over.

"Soldiers, the Japanese position is ahead, charge forward and kill them all."

“Put on a gas mask.”

"Kill all the Japanese troops and we will win."

"Hurry, everyone, get over there!"

"Everyone speed up!"

As the order was given, the five hundred soldiers behind the British major put on gas masks and rushed towards the Japanese position.

The British major in charge of the attack in the front couldn't help but curse when he saw the Japanese soldiers who were still alive on the ground.

"Idiots, I told you all not to leave any of them alive. Kill them all with a knife and send them to see God."

"Major, is this a special bullet? Are we violating international conventions by doing this?" a soldier asked.

"Yes, Major, such a despicable method will be condemned."

"Damn it, it's the Japanese army that violated the international convention. We are now counterattacking for justice," the major explained.

He knew he had to explain clearly, otherwise, it would definitely cause a mutiny.

"Major, is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Our allies are being persecuted by the Japanese army's special bullets. We must retaliate."

After hearing this, many British soldiers felt much better.

In fact, it’s not that they think it’s wrong to use special bullets, but they find it hard to accept the sudden use of special bullets for a while.

Some soldiers felt that special bullets should have been used earlier.

This way, so much land would not be lost.

"Don't leave anyone alive." The British major ordered again.

"Yes."

As the orders were issued, the soldiers stabbed the struggling Japanese soldiers on the ground one after another, and dull screams were heard from time to time.

With the help of special bullets, they quickly broke through the Japanese army's first line of defense and then continued to advance deeper.

Because it did not cause much noise and it was the middle of the night, the Japanese army had no idea that the British troops in the city were actually using special bullets to destroy their positions.

After advancing for about another half an hour, the Japanese troops on the position suffered heavy losses.

It’s no wonder they are so lazy. After fighting for such a long time, they are already exhausted. Now they can finally relax and have a good rest.

Moreover, the two sides were in a state of confrontation, so some Japanese troops relaxed a lot.

Plus, it’s past four o’clock now, which is when I’m most sleepy.

"Order the artillery units to fire all their shells and prepare for a counterattack." The British colonel couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he watched thousands of Japanese soldiers being annihilated in just a short while.

If everything goes well, by noon, we will be able to wipe out tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

This is a huge victory.

They could even recapture the city of Kolkata in one fell swoop.

Because there were more than just theirs fighting back.

"Yes."

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Baga, wake up! It's artillery fire."

"Baga, why is there artillery fire here?"

"Nani, why is there shelling?"

Many Japanese soldiers were still dreaming. When they heard their superiors’ calls, they slowly opened their eyes, their minds still in a mess. Where did the shelling come from?

We are all friendly here, why is there shelling?
Could it be that the British troops on the opposite side are attacking us?

How is this possible?
They don't even have time to run, how can they fight back?

These British troops who were frightened by them actually fought back fearlessly?
Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.

Because the entire position was covered in green smoke.

"Baga, what is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"Damn it, this is a special bullet. Why do they have special bullets?"

"Put on your gas mask."

"Baga, idiot, move quickly."

Unfortunately, it was too late. They never thought that one day the British army would release special bombs against them.

More importantly, special bullets are used while they are sleeping.

This has tremendous destructive power.

"What? What did you say? The British army actually used special bullets?" Soon, the information that the British army used special bullets was sent to Kawabe Masamitsu.

Looking at the telegram sent by his subordinates, he simply couldn't believe it.

They have always been the only ones who dared to use special bullets, and they only dared to use them in China.

The reason why they didn't dare to use it here was because they were afraid that the British army would use special bullets on them.

After all, this thing is nothing to the British and American powers.

The British army was so cruel and cruel that it really frightened him.

Have the British troops gone crazy in their attempt to defend India?
"Bakayaro, order the front-line troops to hold their positions. Also, report this situation to the headquarters and denounce the British army's actions internationally." Kawabe Masamitsu looked at the casualty figures on the telegram and roared angrily.

"Hay."
