In the north of Krishnapur River, thousands of cannons roared and thick smoke rose. The first showdown between the elite army of the East and the West was launched in a narrow and long trench belt no more than twenty kilometers.

Using the terrain of the Krishna River and Hugli River, the Red Army built trenches in the northeast of Kolkata. In the Kolkata area, the Red Army had five divisions, including the Scottish Highland Regiment, with more than 50,000 troops. In addition, the Indian mercenaries and the National Army had a total of more than 120,000 people.

The main combat troops of the Eastern Legion are the four Chinese infantry divisions, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and other minions, and other combat missions such as covering flanks and transporting ammunition to various frontline positions.

Deng Tianpei, commander of the 29th Division of the Royal Army, was the commander-in-chief of this battle.

The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army was originally Feng Zicai. Feng Zicai rushed to Myanmar, and Deng Tianpei was appointed as the acting commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army.

After considering it for a day and a night, Deng Tianpei held a military meeting of commanders above the Eastern Road Army Barracks to convey to all officers the General Command's combat plan to prepare for a strong attack on Kolkata, and also informed the news that Myanmar's supply line was cut off.

Deng Tianpei made a highly contagious combat mobilization in front of hundreds of straight officers sitting upright.

"Take a boat to the death and fight with your back!"

"The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

"College-workers, you will die without fighting! Let us dye the flag of our thousand-year-old unyielding legion red with our blood! We will defend the empire with our lives and defend the glory of our emperor!"

Along with the news that the Myanmar supply line was cut off, the commander-in-chief's exciting battle horn was conveyed to all officers and soldiers of the army.

Amid the roar of rows of Chinese soldiers who were as shocking as the sky-shaking "The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road!", a tragic war began.

...

On a high ground on the east bank of the Hugley River, General Hamilton walked out of the concrete-cast command post, stood behind a section of barbed wire, and slowly raised his telescope.

In the camera, smoke filled the gunpowder. Thick smoke rose in the trenches everywhere. In addition, the sky gradually became dark and it was no longer clear that the Chinese soldiers were charging, but the horns of the spirit-tiring Eastern and the roars of the Chinese soldiers when they charged. Suddenly, it sounded again, causing Hamilton's body to tremble.

What kind of army is this? It's like I'm numb to life, and one fell down. More soldiers whose hideous faces rushed up and even had to grab the soil with their hands and dragged their bloody bodies to climb up to your position.

Facing such a legion and such a picture is almost a nightmare.

Hamilton suddenly remembered the first time he dealt with the Chinese and British army. He discussed the mutual trust between the Chinese and British troops a year ago. At that time, a expressionless Chinese official held his hand. He said with almost no sense of emotion: "Welcome to the East."

Hamilton suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when the hand that had been held by the top man back then, just as if the poisonous snake had just crawled over from above, and he waved his hand hard. The dialogue a year ago. Hamilton now felt more like a curse.

The telescope patrolled the battlefield, for some reason. Hamilton always felt a little uneasy. Although this line of defense began to be excavated three years ago, many generals thought it was as solid and indestructible, but for the first time, Hamilton faced the Eastern Legion, which had defeated Russia several times, the wings of the Eastern Emperor, and the glory of the Eastern Empire, Hamilton always felt uneasy in his heart.

If you persist for three days, just three days, I believe that this luxurious legion that has done its best to pour out ammunition will be exhausted, and if you lose the Myanmar supply line and go deeper, it will be extremely difficult for this legion to replenish supplies. At that time, it will be the time to fight back in full swing.

But why do I always feel uneasy in my heart? Are I scared by the Chinese? Hamilton smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Suddenly, a red signal flare rose, and Hamilton was stunned, put down the telescope in his hand and looked over. Yes, it was a red signal flare, and it rose from the northern position of his side.

Hamilton could hardly believe his eyes. The red signal flares mean that the position was about to be lost, and the Scottish Highlands regiment guarding the northern position!

Hamilton knew clearly what the loss of the northern position means, and his flanks would be completely exposed and could be devastatingly hit by Chinese artillery at any time. It is precisely because of the importance of the northern position that the most elite corps of the Imperial Army were garrisoned.

Hamilton raised his telescope and looked north, but the distance was too far to see anything clearly, and he could only see the light of fire blooming.

"Bang", the door of the command post behind him was knocked open, and his personal staff officer Brown ran out in panic, but hurriedly stood at attention under Hamilton's stern gaze and handed the telegram he had just received to Hamilton.

The telegram from the Scottish Corps was just a few lines, and the words were a little uneven. Obviously, the telegram was extremely urgent. The telegram said that the Chinese team used several metal armored vehicles and tractors, which were two or three times larger than trucks, to break through a series of solid barbed wire, and the tractor could cross the trench...

That's what the message said. After reading it, I don't know whether it was an armored vehicle or a tractor that broke through our defense.

Hamilton knew that China had armored personnel carriers in its early years, but with the emergence of trucks, it seemed that the Chinese had given up on the project. After all, trucks were fuel-efficient and had stronger motor power.

Trucks are available in China and European countries. Although they first appeared in the Eastern continent, they have been common in the European continent in recent years. However, although trucks are fast to transport troops in the territory, there are no oil supply stations and flat roads outside the country, so it is almost impossible to move forward, let alone the Chinese expeditionary forces will pass through rugged mountain roads, whether they march from southern Tibet or from Myanmar.

Hamilton couldn't figure out what it was. If it was a large armored personnel carrier, the Chinese had barely transported a few of them, but it could not have crushed the trenches, right?

"Generate electricity to the Scottish Highlands regiment..." Hamilton was interrupted by the staff officer before he finished speaking: "General, we have lost contact with the Scottish regiment."

Hamilton was stunned for a moment, and slowly lowered his arms...

A few hours later, amid the shocking shouts of Chinese soldiers, the British Kolkata defense line collapsed completely. Although there were sporadic positions of British troops resisted tenaciously, in the tide of Chinese soldiers, it was like an isolated island in the sea, gradually submerged.

Fort William, towering on the east bank of the Hugley River, is majestic and spectacular, symbolizing the presence of the British Army in India and the glory of the Queen in the Far East.

At this time, General Hamilton was standing in front of the second floor window of the castle, looking at the figures of Chinese soldiers gradually approaching by the river beside the river beside. The bright red Chinese Royal Army flag with the oriental blade logo fluttered in the wind, as if declaring the glory of the Eastern Legion. From the coast of the East China Sea to the banks of the Indian Ocean, they swept across thousands of troops and won every battle!

Whether it is the Western Goddess Guards or the Hell Night Watch Legion, they will be swallowed up by their terrifying fighting spirit!

"General, let's retreat quickly!" The staff officer urged anxiously behind Hamilton.

There are several British gunboats cruising in the Hugley River west of the castle. On the west bank, some British troops who had withdrawn from their positions early were building new fortifications, but more were chaotic stragglers who were disrupted during the Chinese infantry charge.

Looking at the scenes in front of him, Hamilton's face was dull and he had no response for a long time.
