Iron Germany
Chapter 922: The Fall of Delhi
"Your Excellency, let's go! The German armored forces are coming towards us. If we don't leave, it will be too late." The adjutant reported to Lord William Nicholson anxiously.
"How did this happen? Why did it happen like this? Why did we lose? We obviously have such a great chance of winning?" Lord William Nicholson murmured. It seemed that at this time, he still couldn't accept this fact.
"Your Excellency, we have already lost. Although our troops are much more powerful than the Germans, our troops are vulnerable and we simply don't have the courage to fight the Germans. Therefore, as soon as the Germans attack, our troops collapse It is," said the adjutant.
"Is that so? It seems that we have a large number of troops, but in fact they are nothing more than a bunch of mobs. No matter how many troops there are, we still cannot defeat the Germans!" Lord William Nicholson had a painful expression on his face. I closed my eyes.
He is not ignorant of the low combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops. However, he believes that quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. With millions of British and Indian troops, no matter how rubbish their combat effectiveness is, they are enough to withstand the German attack. However, it is a pity that the performance of the British and Indian troops was even worse than he imagined. What's more deadly is that the performance of the British troops stationed in India, which he placed high hopes on, was also very unbearable. This made Lord William Nicholson completely defeated in this crucial decisive battle.
The new Lord William Nichols drove off with his aide-de-camp in a distraught state. A large number of British and Indian soldiers are fleeing to Delhi. The Germans launched a pursuit. Especially by the 8th Armored Division and the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, they were the fastest. Many British and Indian troops who fled along the road were chased by them. In desperation, the officers and soldiers of the British and Indian troops surrendered directly. Not only Indian soldiers, but even those British officers also chose to surrender. The war has reached the point where they have also lost confidence.
The German 8th Army also did not expect that the victory would come so suddenly.
"General, we have won. After the 8th Armored Division defeated the British Army in India, the British Indian Army has collapsed. Now, we are catching prisoners like crazy. I think we will soon be defeated because of too many prisoners. And, distressed!" Lieutenant General Lundstedt reported.
Admiral Ludendorff was also a little surprised. He had expected a big battle. He was even prepared that the 8th Army would pay a considerable price in this battle. However, I did not expect that the British and Indian troops would be so vulnerable. Even the British troops stationed in India seem to have been infected by these idiot-like British and Indian troops, and they no longer know how to fight.
"It seems that God* is on our side!" Admiral Ludendorff laughed. The heart that he had been hanging on for a long time was finally put back in his stomach.
"Order the ministries to capture as many prisoners of war as possible. In the next battle, we will directly attack Delhi. Eliminating as many vital forces as possible of the British and Indian troops will enable us to take Delhi faster!" Luden said. Admiral Doffer ordered. Now, he no longer considered taking Derry a problem.
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Lundstedt immediately went to give the order.
Originally, they all thought that sending only two army groups to attack India would be a bitter battle. In other words, even if the whole of India can be conquered, it will definitely take a long time. However, the smoothness of the battle situation far exceeded their expectations. If this is the case, it may not be long before they will be able to end the war in India.
The German 8th Army did not waste too much time. With the sharp arrows composed of the 8th Armored Division, the 73rd Infantry Division and the 74th Infantry Division, it was still approaching Delhi.
The news of the disastrous defeat of the British and Indian troops in the decisive battle spread back to Delhi immediately. After receiving the telegram, Lord Charles Harding, the governor of India, couldn't believe the result.
"Damn, what's going on here? Did you send the wrong telegram? How could we lose? Lord William Nicholson has assembled all the main forces. And their opponent is only 200,000 Germans It's just people. How could it be defeated?" Baron Charles Harding questioned.
"Your Excellency, I have confirmed with the front line that we have indeed failed. The troops are fleeing, and the Germans are pursuing them and are approaching Delhi. It is estimated that they will come to Delhi soon." Secretary Said with a bitter face.
"God! Have you really abandoned the British Empire? We can't beat the Germans with such a big advantage. If this continues, aren't we doomed?" Charles Ha Baron Ding had a pained expression on his face. For the first time, he felt that the plan he thought would surely succeed was so ridiculous now.
Almost at the same time, the leaders of the Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance also knew the situation on the front line. Similarly, each of them was shocked beyond measure. You know, for India to be independent, they fully cooperated with the British and Indian colonial authorities. But unexpectedly, it still failed in the end.
This undoubtedly made their expectations turn into water. Once the British and Indian troops completely lost the war and the Germans occupied the whole of India, it would be completely impossible for them to gain national and national independence.
"What to do? What to do now? The British lost, and we are finished!" Tilak's eyes were blank.
"After the Germans captured India, they will definitely not let us go!" Nehru panicked.
Gandhi also had a bitter look on his face. No doubt he regretted it now, too.
However, at this point, they have no other choice.
On April 14, the German 8th Army came to Delhi. Although, the British and Indian troops have been trying to gather the defeated troops, and then resist the German attack. But with neither the Congress Party nor the Green Party coalition fully backing them, they can't muster much troops at all.
When the German 8th Army launched its offensive, there were less than 400,000 troops in Delhi. Among them, there are more than 100,000 British troops stationed in India.
Although, they still have an advantage in military strength. However, its combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the German army.
The German attack on Delhi lasted only two days.
On the afternoon of April 16, the whole of Delhi fell into the hands of the German army.
