On the sea, three "East Zhou-class" warships and four "Western Zhou-class" warships were leading more than a dozen cruisers and destroyers to use naval guns to violently bombard the British and Indian army's defense lines. + Balls of hot fireballs rose from the British and Indian army's defense lines, and various stones and mud blocks were constantly blown up into the air. There were some human corpses mixed in between.

Although the "East Zhou-class" warships and the "Western Zhou-class" warships are both warships in the Imperial Navy that are about to withdraw from the front line. However, for the British and Indian troops who are on the defense line, the 210 mm main gun is still a life-threatening thing. The solid fortresses and bunkers were easily destroyed like paper-made under the bombardment of shells weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Although the British have been strengthening the defense line in recent years, because the industry of the Indian colonies was backward, all the materials had to be transported from the local area. Cement and steel bars, etc., India could not produce them on their own. This made the defense line very expensive. In addition, the Indians were not only not excellent soldiers, but also excellent construction workers. This directly led to the defense line of the British and Indian army, which was almost a tofu project. It looked very magnificent, but it could not withstand the test of the cannons of the Chinese Empire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The more than ten warships of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy were desperately firing shells to the shore. Every naval soldier knew that they fired one more shell and destroyed one more fortification of the British and Indian army. This means that the soldiers of the Imperial Army will pay less casualties. This is also their duty!

"Oh God! Do those Chinese shells don't have any money?" A British major hid in an anti-cannon hole. He looked at the trembling anti-cannon hole in horror. He could only pray to God constantly, praying that the anti-cannon hole would not collapse. Otherwise, he would be dead.

"Boom!" A 210mm shell once again accurately hit the above of the anti-aircraft hole. The powerful impact force immediately caused cracks to appear on the top of the anti-aircraft hole that was not as good as the quality during construction. Then, soil fell from the top of the anti-aircraft hole, and the entire anti-aircraft hole collapsed. The British and British and Indian soldiers hiding inside were all buried inside.

Such situations continued to take place on the entire line of defense. During the violent artillery attacks of the Imperial Navy and the Army, the entire line of defense of the British army seemed to be plowed by a plow. The wire mesh was torn open. The trenches were razed to the ground, and the buried mines also exploded in the fierce artillery fire. One by one, the machine gun fire points, bunkers and forts, etc. were directly blown into the sky.

Originally, the British and Indian army thought that the solid defense line began to shatter under the fierce shelling of the Chinese Navy and Army. Such a situation directly made the British generals in charge of commanding this defense line stunned. They seemed to have not expected such a situation to occur.

"General, the front line sent a telegram, and our defense line was seriously damaged by the fierce Chinese shelling. The casualties of the troops were also very heavy. The situation was very unfavorable to us!" A major officer handed a telegram to Lieutenant General Charles, the commander of the 18th Army of the British Army.

"Damn it! How could those Chinese attacks be so fierce?" Lieutenant General Charles cursed inwardly. The Chinese army and navy launched such a fierce attack, which exceeded his expectations. After all, before the war began, he thought that he could use this solid line of defense to block the Chinese army in Myanmar. Then he slammed them hard, making the Chinese people bleed in front of the solid line of defense, making them dare not attack India again. But now it seems that his previous idea was completely dreaming in the daytime.

The Chinese Empire was originally not stingy in preparing artillery fire. The purpose of the imperial emperor Long Yufei was to solve problems with cannonballs, so he refused to let the soldiers fight to the death. Every imperial soldier was precious. Even if he was wasting a few more shells, what did it matter? Besides, before the battle against India started, the empire received 2 billion Chinese yuan in military expenditure from the Mughal royal family and the Indian Tumen princes. This directly made the empire more prepared and there was no need to save ammunition.

"Send a telegram to Kolkata and tell the commander what we are facing. Let the commander be ready to reinforce us at any time!" Lieutenant General Charles ordered. Although the battle had just begun, he had to plan the worst.

"Yes, General!" The major officer nodded and hurriedly sent a telegram.

The Chinese Navy and Army artillery preparations took two hours. After the shelling was over, all the artillery soldiers were almost exhausted. Of course, the British and Indian defense lines, especially the five or six kilometers long line near the coast, were almost washed by the Chinese army with shells. There were dense craters everywhere, and most of the fortifications on this defense line were destroyed, and only a very small number of fortifications survived. However, the damage they could cause to the Imperial Army was already very limited.

The British and Indian troops stationed on this line of defense suffered heavy losses. The number of British troops was sparse, so most of the defense was British and Indian troops. The fighting will of those British and Indian troops could not be compared with the British and Indian troops. After suffering such a heavy blow, how much resistance do these British and Indian troops have? It is estimated that when the Chinese * army first attacked, they would flee!

After the shelling was over, the 12th Army, the 12th Infantry Army and the 15th Infantry Army began to attack the British and Indian defense lines. Two brigades and tens of thousands of people launched attacks on the five-kilometer defense line. Although the British and Indian defense lines were dozens of kilometers long, the few kilometers of defense lines along the coast were the targets of the Imperial Navy and Army artillery. The other defense lines were too far away from the coast and the navy's naval guns were not reachable. Therefore, there was no choice to shell this line of defense. After the Imperial Army broke through the British and Indian defense line, it would naturally be able to encircle from behind. At that time, the British and Indian troops defending this line of defense would naturally surrender to the Imperial Army.

"Roar!" Tens of thousands of imperial army officers and soldiers jumped out of the forward positions and attacked the British and Indian defense lines. A thrust of heavy machine guns and mortars followed the troops. They would directly provide fire support to the attacking troops.

"Da da! Da da!" The heavy machine gun's low roar sounded on the British and Indian defense line. The dense bullets swept over, and the Imperial Army soldiers rushing in the front fell one after another. The soldiers behind them immediately lay on the ground and let the bullets fly over their heads.

These soldiers who were lying down crawled forward on the ground and approached the British defense line step by step.

"High machine guns are set up to cover fire!"

"Mortar, knock off the enemy's fire point!"

Under the command of the commander, a heavy machine gun was set up and began to shoot at the British and Indian defense lines. A series of flames flew towards the British and Indian defense lines, and the British and Indian troops hiding inside could not raise their heads at all.

"Dangdang!" The British and Indian troops' counterattacked bullets hit the shields on both sides of the heavy machine gun and made a sound.

"puff!"

A heavy machine gun was shot in the chest and fell slowly.

The prepared heavy machine gunner immediately rushed up and continued to fire. Now there is no time to mourn the dead comrades, their mission is to ensure the suppression of the enemy's firepower.

"Boom!" A mortar shell landed accurately on the British and Indian Army's Huludao. The heavy machine gun that was firing was immediately blown into the sky, and the heavy machine gunner hiding behind was also killed.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army approached the British and Indian Army's defense line.

Dozens of grenades flew over and fell into the trenches of the British and Indian army. The British and Indian soldiers inside were blown up and over. Then, the imperial officers and soldiers took the opportunity to rush into the British and Indian army's defense line.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After the bullets in the gun were shot, the cruel hand-to-hand combat began. How could the short and thin Indian A San be the opponent of the strong and strong imperial soldiers? In the hand-to-hand combat, the Indian A San were defeated step by step. This cruel battle directly destroyed the Indian A San's will to resist. They fled backwards, while the imperial soldiers took the opportunity to expand their results.

In just one day, the first line of defense of the British and Indian troops was broken through.

The navy and army artillery that had rested for a long time continued to fire at the second line of defense of the British and Indian army. This was almost a copy of the tactics of attacking the first line of defense. Using powerful artillery fire, the Imperial Army easily tore open the British army's defense line. Afterwards, the British and Indian army stationed on the defense line were no match for the Imperial Army at all, and were defeated by the Imperial Army step by step.

The defense line that the British and Indian army spent several years building fell in just three days. Of course, this was mainly due to the fall of the coastal defense line. After being broken through by the Imperial Army, the other British and Indian troops were afraid of being surrounded by the Imperial Army, so they took the initiative to flee. Otherwise, it would take longer for the Imperial Army to defeat the entire British and Indian army's defense line. At the same time, the casualties of the troops would be scary.

Even so, in order to break through the defense line of the British and Indian army, the Imperial Army had more than 5,000 people seriously injured and killed in battle. There were countless soldiers who were slightly injured. Of course, the results they achieved were even more amazing, killing more than 20,000 British and Indian troops. He raised his hands obediently and walked into the prisoner-of-war camp of the Imperial Army, and there were nearly 30,000 British and Indian troops. One army of British and Indian troops had been eliminated in this battle.

After breaking through the defense line of the British and Indian army, the 12th Army of the Imperial Army took the lead and attacked Chittagong in eastern Bangladesh.
