Chapter 955: The Decisive Battle Against Durgapur

Durgapur, at this time the war between Dahua and Mughal has reached its most intense time.

The current situation is that 100,000 Chinese First Front Army surrounded 70,000 Indian Army in the Immortal Line of Defense.

Then, the Indian army had 200,000 troops, concentrated in the Durgapur area. The striker had already reached the front of the first front army of the Chinese army, and was attacking the Chinese army, trying to tear a hole.

As for Dahua's other 150,000 troops, 30,000 of them are setting up new encirclement circles, 20,000 are stationed in various places, and 100,000 are turning around and heading straight for Durgapur.

Therefore, Durgapur has become the key point of this battle.

If the Indian army can pass through Durgapur before the Chinese army's second front army returns to aid, and kill the Chinese army's first front army, then this battle will still be fought.

There may still be no suspense about the outcome, but the Indian army can at least struggle for a while, and it will cause great trouble to the Chinese army.

However, if they have not passed through Durgapur before the Chinese army returns to aid, then they can basically be declared a complete failure.

This is also the most troublesome place in Ranchi at present. There is a highland in Durgapur occupied by the Chinese army, and a reinforced regiment is stationed on it, about 2,000 people.

If they don't capture this hill, they will have to take a detour, wasting a lot of time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, any general would choose to capture this hill.

Ranchi also ordered like this at the beginning, but after fighting for a day, they didn't fight up, and directly drove Ranchi to death.

The Chinese army is only two thousand, only two thousand.

Even if it has the advantages of terrain and equipment, the Indian army is actually 200,000, which is a hundred times the strength of the troops.

Although there are only a few thousand troops who can attack at one time, it is indeed unreasonable to have not captured this unnamed mountain in a day.

"At this point, we can only use human lives to fill them. Their ammunition is limited. As long as we send people to attack non-stop, it won't take long for the enemy's bullets to be consumed. Instead, we can enter hand-to-hand combat , and wipe out the enemy completely."

Negal, a senior officer of the Indian army, said.

"How can this work? God knows how many bullets the Chinese army has. If there are hundreds of thousands of bullets, how can we have so many soldiers to send them?"

Another senior Indian army officer asked back.

"Then do you have a better way?"

Negal asked.

This question baffled everyone again.

"Whatever the cost, this high ground must be taken before dark."

Ranchi gave the order to die. Although he didn't say it clearly, it was equivalent to agreeing with Negal's suggestion and using human life to fill it.

Early in the morning, the Indian army began to attack the unnamed highlands.

This time the Indian army prepared ten legions to charge in batches.

Although it is to use the lives of soldiers to consume the ammunition of the Chinese army, it also requires some skills.

If you rush forward with one brain, I'm afraid it's not enough to die.

The standard configuration of Chinese soldiers is three magazines and 120 rounds of ammunition.

Because when Kang Qiliang retreated here, he expected a hard fight, not only moved all the ammunition to the mountain, but also borrowed a batch from the friendly army nearby.

Therefore, the soldiers of the 318th Regiment averaged 150 rounds of ammunition per capita, which did not count machine gun bullets.

It is definitely unrealistic to completely consume the bullets of the Chinese army.

Therefore, the Indian army's plan is to consume the bullets of the Chinese army's machine guns. As long as the Chinese army's machine guns run out of bullets, the firepower will drop by a level, and the Indian army can rush to the high ground.

The ten corps in charge of the attack each have about 4,000 people.

The number of people can't be too many, otherwise the limited attack area will make the people too dense.

The number of people can't be too small, otherwise it won't be able to create enough pressure on the Chinese army.

Without pressure, the Hua army could shoot leisurely and save more ammunition.

Only when there is enough pressure on the Chinese army, in order to prevent them from rushing to the position, the Chinese army will open their firepower regardless of the consumption of ammunition.

"Pay attention to concealment and disperse the charge."

The officers of the Indian army did not tell these soldiers that they were going to consume the bullets of the Chinese army, otherwise these soldiers might directly mutiny, that would be too disrespectful of human beings.

However, some smart soldiers felt the difference from the officers' slogans.

Before, the Indian army officers asked the charging soldiers not to retreat, but to do their best to capture the high ground.

But now, the slogan has become attention to concealment. That is to say, the priority is to save one's own life, and whether one can win the high ground is secondary.

Not many soldiers who noticed this could understand why the officer made such a reminder.

However, this order is ultimately much better than fighting to the death without retreating, and the chance of survival will be greater.

The order was issued, and the artillery of the Indian army began to fire.

This is a situation where the Indian army rarely has the advantage of artillery. The Chinese army stationed on the high ground has no heavy artillery, only some light mortars, and the range is not as far as the Indian artillery.

After the Indian artillery shelling began, the infantry immediately began to charge.

Their shelling is only for covering fire and will be short-lived since they don't have that many shells to expend.

If there are enough shells, they don't have to worry about it. They can pour shells on this hill and blow up the Chinese army.

Disabled.

"Get ready, the enemy is about to charge up, pay attention to saving ammunition."

On the unnamed high ground, the observers of the Chinese army noticed the enemy's movement and blew their whistle to remind the soldiers to enter the position.

Although the Indian army's shelling is still continuing, it is not very lethal and will stop soon.

They must seize the time to enter the position, take their positions, and get ready.

"It's an unpleasant battle to save ammunition."

A soldier complained.

"Do you want to die happily, or survive hard? Stop talking nonsense, be careful, no matter how weak the enemy is, he is still a human being, and he won't let you decide."

The platoon leader reprimanded.

This will be a bitter battle, and we must leave a way out.

Once the bullets are exhausted, the two thousand of them have absolutely no chance of winning.

In hand-to-hand combat, the comparison is the number of people.

The two thousand of them, no matter how they look at it, can't be the opponent of 200,000.

Even if they can cause some damage to the enemy before they die, they will definitely not be able to survive.

And this is something they don't want to see.

"Hey, I'm just talking casually. Don't worry, platoon leader. Later, I will definitely kill an enemy with one bullet and let them see my marksmanship."

Liu Liangdang immediately changed into a smiling face, a little unscrupulous.

However, the platoon leader Zhao Ping didn't care.

Liu Liangdang seems to be unscrupulous, but he is very reliable and trustworthy when fighting.
