PS: The company has been very busy recently, and then I have to write a project report on my MB paper. All the affairs are intertwined and I have insufficient energy. The time and quantity of updates may not be fixed. Please understand. There is another update at night, but it will be a little later. Thank you for your support!

Shortly after Nimitz sent the telegram, he came back and said that it was urgent for 100,000 yuan. He was startled and thought that the reminder he sent was too late, but found that it was sent by Mountbatten in Delhi, and begged the Pacific Fleet to support the Indian direction in an extremely begging tone. Everyone's faces suddenly became gloomy. Now the British begged the Pacific Fleet to defend India, the Australian begged the fleet to defend Australia and New Zealand, and Washington hoped that the fleet could achieve some victory, which was logically impossible.

What's even more serious is that in terms of strength comparison, the joint fleet is now stronger than the Pacific fleet. Nimitz may not dare to fight head-on.

"There are too many goals and too heavy tasks. We must have our own ideas." He sighed, "The Marines continue to wipe out the Tarawa defenders. We are really powerless now."

On the 9th day after Horitiki led the joint fleet, the landing fleet formed by Scher and Yamashita Bongfun also set out in a mighty manner. To the expectations of the British and Indian troops, the Japanese and German coalition did not choose to land nearest to Ceylon, but only landed through the Indian continent in the Pauk Strait. Instead, they went directly to Madras, more than 400 kilometers away from Ceylon Island.

Although Mikawa and Kakuda had only two light aircraft carriers under their command, and the overall capacity was only 60, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness increased exponentially after it was put into use at the airport on Ceylon Island. Two army flight divisions rushed over with the Stuka, -190, b-219 and other aircraft.

After the Royal Navy of the British Empire was actually completely wiped out, the coast of India has become an era of completely unpreparedness. The Japanese army can fight as much as they want. Even the 10,000-ton cruisers like the Feather Black and Kaohsiung are now forceless to reach. Just as the British opened the doors of Asian countries with gunboats more than 100 years ago.

First, a large number of aircraft bombs were washed in the air, and then 203mm naval guns opened fire at close range. Indian dispatched troops watched in amazement as the enemy positions fell into the sea of ​​fire. The expected resistance and counterattack did not happen at all. The landing battle started at 9 o'clock in the morning. When the No. 4 amphibious tank painted with iron crosses got off the landing craft and climbed directly onto the beachhead, the morale of the defenders had collapsed, and there was almost no organized resistance.

The officers and soldiers of the chariot brigade of Mingcang were yelling that they were not satisfied. They got up early and went to bed late, and struggled for 10 days, hoping to use new equipment to teach the British how to be a human being. Considering that they didn't dare to say that they had a complete grasp of tactics and equipment, they humbly occupied the second batch of landing troops. As a result, the first batch of German troops went up to control the scene directly. When the landing craft came back to pick up the second wave of attack echelons, the British were all finished.

Scher smiled and asked Yamashita if the troops of Fengwen and others wanted to land directly at the dock. The Malay Tiger who was watching the battle on the warship did not react: "So quickly? Is this over?"

"Yes, let's fight ahead and we can probably spend the night in Madras today."

"This is too unforgettable."

"It's just some Indians, what strength do you expect them to have? If the Indians are really strong, they will not be enslaved by the small British Empire for so long." Schell shrugged, "The British army in North Africa is the most capable of fighting, but after we cut the supply channel, the 8th Army of 300,000 troops also surrendered. Now the British Empire is like a giant with a broken backbone. Without the continuous blood transfusion of Americans, it would have been impossible."

Yamashita nodded: "Since you are here, you'd better experience it once, just act as an exercise." As a result, this chariot brigade that was scheduled to land was the last unit to arrive in Madras that day. Fortunately, it caught up with the encirclement and annihilation of the British defenders of Madras.

Lieutenant General Girard, who is in charge of South India's defense affairs, was not unprepared. He not only set up the newly established 11th Army headquarters in Madras, but also prepared nearly 20,000 troops to fight a defensive battle.

Some time ago, he was worried that the Japanese or Germans would hit the door when they woke up overnight. However, after Ceylon fell, he waited for the enemy on his left and did not come, and he became a little suspicious, so he had to find a way to get the Royal Air Force to secretly send a plane to Ceylon for reconnaissance. The information he got was that the Japanese army was undergoing adaptive training. According to his idea, this kind of training would not be effective within 3-6 months, so he relaxed a little and thought he had enough time. Delhi promised to reinforce him for three more brigades, and was currently on the way south. Although it was still far from his expectations, at least there was still some hope.

A few days ago, Hori Teiki's air strike on Perth interfered with his attention, making him mistakenly believe that the next phase of the Japanese army's combat target should be the direction of Australia and New Zealand. Although he always tried to complain to Mountbatten in Delhi, he was unable to defend, but he was not without a trace of luck. Until today, he was shattered by this sudden attack.

He knew that he had no fleet at hand and that the shore defense could not be the opponent of enemy naval guns, so he placed his defense focus about 30 kilometers away from the coastline. According to his idea, after leaving the warship support, he still had hope to fight a good battle. He had an army equipped with Valentine and Sherman tanks. But he did not expect that the Japanese air strength would suddenly expand so much. When classic German aircraft on European battlefields such as Stuka,-190, and b-109 appeared, he felt like a disaster was coming.

What makes people even more desperate is the result of air combat. The Royal Air Force squadron aircraft that had finally arrived were either destroyed on the ground during the Japanese assault, or shot down by Japanese pilots with better quantity and quality in the air. From the Japanese assault to noon, Madras lost any fighter jets that could be used for sky protection in just 4 hours.

When the German and Japanese troops landed on the dock and the armored troops continued to flow out of the transport ship, he suddenly realized how unrealistic it was to think that an armored brigade could block the opponent's wish. If he had known that this would have been the case at the dock and the shore defense, it was a pity that there was no regret in the world.

At 4 pm, the 4th Japanese tank division and the 9th German Marine Brigade took the dock as the core and divided its troops from the left and right wings to launch an attack, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Madras defenders. After receiving the information about the enemy's division, Gillard believed that he had found an opportunity that was not an opportunity. He hoped that his only British and Indian Army 6th Tank Brigade could defeat the entire route, defeat the enemy's morale, and then organize a retreat calmly. (To be continued.)
