Jagged Germany: Chapter 913 Vulnerable seeking monthly ticket
"There are only a few thousand enemies on the coast, and they are weak Indian natives. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low. We only need to launch a wave of offensives to successfully land and defeat them. Remember, we must be as intact as possible Occupy the port here and create conditions for the landing of the army brothers." Major General Adam, the commander of the 3rd Division of the German Marine Corps, said to his regiment and battalion commanders.
"If we can't even beat those Indian natives, then we will become a laughing stock, not only the laughing stock of the Marine Corps, but also the laughing stock of the entire army and even the whole country! So, gentlemen, I need a clean and tidy fight Victory, let those Indian natives know what kind of enemy they are facing!" Major General Adam continued.
"Don't worry, general. We will definitely defeat those Indian natives in this battle. We can defeat them very easily! I promise!" said the regiment leader in charge of the first wave of attack.
"In that case, it couldn't be better." Major General Adam said.
"General, the fleet is notified that the landing operation can be carried out." A communications officer reported.
"1st Regiment, go!" Major General Adam ordered.
"Yes, General!" replied the head of the 1st Regiment.
A few minutes later, thousands of soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps rushed to the beach of Alibag in hundreds of landing craft.
"God! The Germans have launched a landing operation, and get into the position! We must not let the Germans wash up on the beach, or we will be finished. That's what they did in the UK back then!" A British major and battalion commander shouted loudly road. As a veteran who has experienced local combat, and was lucky enough to survive, fled to Canada, and was later sent to India, he knows the strength of the Germans.
Those Indian soldiers who survived the shelling by chance, under the urging of the British officers, knew that they were punched and kicked, and crawled into the trenches. They looked at the sea in panic, and the landing craft that were rushing towards the beach looked like monsters.
"Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, shoot!" a British officer yelled.
"Bang! Bang!"
On the position of the British and Indian troops, there were sparse gunshots, and the bullets hit the sea, splashing one after another. However, it did not pose any threat to the German Marine Corps at all.
"Machine guns and mortars fire! Destroy the German landing craft!" A British officer ordered.
However, as soon as his order was issued, dense shells fell on their positions.
Several German light cruisers and destroyers drove to the sea only two or three kilometers away from the beach, and poured shells into the positions of the British and Indian troops in a really crazy manner. These small and medium-caliber naval gun shells may not be as powerful as large-caliber naval guns. However, for these ordinary soldiers, it is still a deadly threat.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dense shells fell on the beach, and there were continuous explosions. The British and Indian soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and firing were torn to pieces in the explosion.
Many soldiers of the British and Indian Army died before firing a single shot.
"Damn it, the Germans got fire support from naval warships. Their artillery fire was so fierce that we couldn't resist their attack at all!" A British officer saw this scene, wanting to cry without tears.
"What to do? No one would have expected that the Germans would land in 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 Germans have captured Alibagh."
Indeed, the German army would choose Alibag as the landing point, which completely exceeded the expectations of the British. This made them have no preparations at all, and only deployed a few thousand people here.
The British and Indian Army currently has twenty-five group armies, but only three group armies have combat effectiveness in front of them. Among them, the 1st Army stayed in Delhi, the 2nd Army was stationed in Mumbai, and the 3rd Army was stationed in Calcutta. The remaining twenty-two newly formed group armies were deployed elsewhere. Although the British and Indian troops are strong, their combat effectiveness is very bad. Many people have just learned how to shoot. As for whether it can hit the target, it depends on God's will. Other combat literacy is even less pitiful. Once such a force encounters the most powerful German army in the world, it is naturally conceivable what kind of consequences it will have.
The interception of the British and Indian troops had no impact on the German Marine Corps at all. Originally, it should be the most dangerous before washing up on the beach. However, in this battle, the British and Indian troops hardly caused decent losses to the German Marine Corps.
Soon, the first landing craft washed up on the beach. More than a dozen Marines jumped from the top.
The landing craft that washed up on the beach is very dangerous, and it is very likely that it will become the target of concentrated shooting by the enemy. Therefore, after the marines landed, they had to flee as soon as possible.
Sure enough, they were hit by intensive firepower from the British and Indian troops. Although a steel plate is installed in front of the landing craft, it can withstand bullets. But there were none on both sides, and they were battered and battered directly in the battle.
Marines who have just landed are often very dangerous. They sprawled on the beach, bullets whizzing past their heads. If you look up without paying attention, you may be 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 marines landed. They gradually began to counterattack, and with the strong fire support of the naval fleet, they broke through the defense line of the British and Indian troops.
Under the heavy shelling of the German fleet, the British and Indian troops suffered heavy casualties. After being fiercely attacked by the German Marine Corps, it collapsed very quickly.
In less than half an hour, the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division of the German Marine Corps occupied the beach and opened up a safe landing field. Subsequently, it launched an attack on the city of Alibag.
With heavy losses and low morale, the British and Indian troops stationed in Alibag collapsed directly. This made it easy for the German marines to occupy here. Best of all, the port is virtually intact.
Other units of the Marine Corps, which had already been prepared, and the elite infantry division of the Army's 8th Army, also began to land. Winning Alibag is only the first step. To defeat the British and Indian troops stationed in Mumbai and win the entire Mumbai is a victory.
