Chapter 267 Dreaming Back to Battle 2

While giving the rioters a last chance in the Andaman Islands, the British Indian Army is also stepping up its battle plan. Considering that the island has a large number of former Japanese prisoners of war, it is not a bad idea to call it a battle plan.

General Erwin is still very conscientious, using the existing forces that can be used to formulate a plan to seize the island.

It is mainly divided into four steps. The first step is to launch air strikes on the Andaman Islands under the jurisdiction of the British Army stationed in India and Myanmar. However, since the airdrops are air-dropped leaflets to persuade them to surrender, the air strikes will start the next day.

The second step is to mobilize an Indian division on board as the main force to capture the Andaman Islands. Third, under the cover of naval guns, land on the beach, and finally annihilate the rioters to restore control of the Andaman Islands.

Of course, these steps were summed up by Alan Wilson, and the wording of the combat plan in the written article is like this, "Considering the consideration that the type of warfare is limited to regular warfare, and using Lanchester's square law, when engaging in close combat , the strength of any party is proportional to the square of its own quantity, which determines the basic requirements of the two warring parties. And the conditions that determine the final victory of the battle, so far the judgment and general understanding of the initial trend of the entire battle can be obtained. "

"Through the cooperation of different attributes of various arms, the goal is to minimize the task completion time and achieve the greatest combat purpose!"

energetic! Allen Wilson knew every word in this combat report, but when combined together, he knew only a little. When someone gave him this combat report and told him it was a physics department graduation thesis, he would absolutely understand it. No doubt.

"You still need to learn a lot in life." In the headquarters of the British Army in India, Alan Wilson listened to the indescribable discussions of the military staff, and felt inferior in knowledge reserves for the first time.

He has uttered nonsense in front of many women, and now even the skills he needs to survive are threatened. If he doesn't know how to brag, can he attract Margaret and Vivien Leigh? If you haven't even started the first step, how can there be any future?

"Allen, you came from the Governor's Mansion, right? Does Barron have any suggestions?" General Irwin looked at the embarrassed Alan Wilson with a satisfied look after he finished formulating the battle plan, and asked The purpose of the other party's coming.

"General Irwin, the Governor's Office thinks that the letter of persuasion should be airdropped first. It is better not to shed blood or not to shed blood." Alan Wilson, who was deeply immersed in self-doubt, suddenly woke up after hearing General Irwin's words, " There are also Japanese prisoners of war in Myanmar who are undergoing restorative reconstruction, and these prisoners of war who can understand Japanese can be used to write leaflets and airdrop them to the Andaman Islands. If the rioters persist, then we will not blame us.”

"It's a good idea. If nothing else happens, you should be the one to handle it." General Erwin nodded, wanting to get an affirmative answer from the mouse that fell in the rice vat.

Seeing Alan Wilson nodding, General Irwin nodded and said, "It will take some time to prepare for battle, and you can use this time to make your final efforts."

"I will do my best to avoid bloodshed." Allen Wilson looked solemn and felt the heavy responsibility. In order to maintain peace in Europe and prevent the world from erupting, Prime Minister Chamberlain betrayed Czechoslovakia. It must be this kind of mentality.

Both British Burma and British Malaya had a large number of prisoners of war. The local garrison soon received a telegram from General Irwin and waited for this special mission, airdropping leaflets to persuade them to surrender. The main island, I hope the rioters on the island can hand in their guns and surrender, and the golden ticket will drop greatly...

The Andaman Islands are nearly a thousand kilometers away from India, and much closer to British Burma and the Kra Isthmus belonging to Malaya. At the airports of the two places, transport planes are undergoing final inspections.

This time the task was mainly undertaken by the Ristol-170 transport aircraft. The Ristol-170 is a transport aircraft designed by the British company Bristol as an economical passenger-cargo or all-cargo aircraft. The prototype first flew in December 1945.

It did not catch up with World War II, but the war in Southeast Asia is still going on, and it was used for military transportation in the war.

The ristol-170 adopts the upper monoplane design, the cockpit of the nose is very high, and the large double-open cargo door is underneath, which is convenient for loading and unloading cargo. Alan Wilson has seen it in New Delhi. Like many British things, it is either the most advanced Backward technology, or too advanced immature technology, ristol-170 transport aircraft is the former.

At first glance, the ristol-170 transport aircraft will feel that this is a very trendy military transport aircraft. Except for the huge belly, the layout is not worse than many American and Soviet transport aircraft later. But in the end it ended up with a Comet airliner.

Near noon, the pilots who had eaten a meal boarded the transport plane. Twelve Ristol-170 transport planes took off from the airports of British Burma and British Malaya. , There are many Japanese words printed on the leaflets, the general idea is to let the rioters on the island surrender and stop making unnecessary resistance.

An hour later, the ristol-170 transport plane appeared over the Andaman Islands. Knowing that there were no anti-aircraft weapons on the island, the pilot flew at a low altitude, opened the double hatch on the belly of the aircraft, and dropped the leaflets.

Pilots with good eyesight can even see some rioters appearing and looking at themselves with indifferent eyes, but this is not the point... The point is that the pilot of the transport plane flying at an ultra-low altitude saw the dense pile of bones, Those were not animal bones. The pilot who realized this took the risk of circling over the Andaman Islands several times to confirm this fact. There was a tragic fact on the island.

The rioters watched the circling enemy planes fly away with numb eyes, and began to pick up the leaflets on the ground, but they didn't even read the content on them. Everyone has not enjoyed the treatment for a long time, and there are dense bones not far away. It is clearly broad daylight, and the atmosphere on the island is also chilling!

A strange disease appeared on the Andaman Islands. Many people suffered from epilepsy and weakness for no reason. The prisoners of war did not know the reason, but they knew that it must be an infectious disease. There is no way to talk about it, hunger and plague have made the rioters look like walking dead...

In some wooden houses, the sick prisoners of war trembled for no reason, and a gust of wind drifted through the grass not far away, revealing the skulls that were still there, and their empty eye sockets seemed to sneer at these people.

Through the pilot's report, Sir Barron and General Irwin knew about the tragedy that had happened in the Andaman Islands.

"Mad cow disease!" Alan Wilson, who was silent, flashed such a sentence in his mind. Is it related? Of course, it is related. The initiation and spread of mad cow disease is due to the cattle feed processing technology formulated by the United Kingdom, which allows the use of meat and offal of animals such as cattle and sheep as feed, allowing abnormal prion protein to enter the cattle.

That is to say, the feed that cows eat is also made of beef, and cows eat cows is the cause of mad cow disease.

"Conquer the Andaman Islands immediately and wipe out all the rioters." General Erwin issued a military order viciously.

At the port of Calcutta, a full Indian division boarded the ship one after another, and left amidst the doubts of the port residents.

At the same time, the British Air Force in Burma and Malaya received orders to bomb the Andaman Islands instead of airdropping leaflets this time, and even used four local Lancaster bombers to load them with aerial bombs. , to join this air strike.

For the Lancaster bomber, I believe that the survivors of Cologne and Essen in the British-occupied area must be fresh in their memories. It was the main force of the strategic bombing of Germany. With the end of the war, the Lancaster bomber was also placed. In the colony's air force base, this time it just came in handy.

As if World War II had reappeared, the British bomber fleet loaded with aerial bombs arrived over the Andaman Islands. The main island of the Andaman Islands suddenly realized the treatment that Germany faced with the British and American bomber fleets.

Aerial bombs were dropped one after another. These Japanese prisoners of war in Nanyang did not understand why the mainland surrendered, but now they have seen it. For the unarmed Japanese prisoners of war, this kind of bombing was too cruel, as if the war was not over yet, but they did not have suitable weapons in their hands.

Some prisoners of war who were in a desperate situation used snatched rifles and artillery to shoot into the air, making a desperate resistance.

Of course, there was no effect, but it strengthened the determination of the British Air Force to bomb. On the second day and the third day..., the British Air Force in the Asian colonies seemed to have returned to 1945 overnight. Several settlements were blown up to pieces.

A few days later, the navy carrying the landing force arrived late, and the main guns of the tribal-class destroyer joined the shelling to provide cover for the landing Indian troops. On the surface, the two main islands of the Andaman Islands have almost disappeared. Not suitable for human habitation.

The twin 120mm main guns roared, and together with the British bomber fleet in the air, they were making final landing preparations.

The artillery fire did not stop, and the landing force, urged by the British commander, started the landing on the landing craft.

The so-called resistance was not as fierce as imagined. After all, the defense force of the Andaman Islands had only a few infantry guns, and there were only a thousand things that could pull the trigger on the entire island.

The real resistance started when the Indian soldiers entered the dense forest after landing. At the same time, the soldiers who landed were also shocked by the scattered bones, and then there was uncontrollable anger. The Indians on the island should have been in danger...
