Nohito was able to imagine what would happen to his large number of Chinese paratroopers with less than 600 troops on hand, with unclear firepower and intentions After thinking about it and weighing all kinds of powerful relationships, the bold Takano Renichi decided to ignore Yamashita Fumi's orders and use the excuse to gather troops to clear out the Chinese paratroopers, in fact, he reduced his forces and prepared to defend his garrison headquarters.
Yamashita was stunned by Takano Renichi's audacity, and before he could reflect from his surprise, Takano Renyi urgently reported that another group of Chinese paratroopers had completed the airdrop, and Yamashita Fumimi suddenly calmed down, and a large number of Chinese paratroopers obviously came with strong strategic intentions.
The only thing that pleased Yamashita with Takano Renichi's report was that the approximate number of Chinese paratroopers was finally clarified, the size of three thousand to four thousand people Yamashita knew that paratroopers, an extremely special type of combat arm with high training costs, were extremely precious to both Japan and China, and Yamashita Fumimi scoffed at Takano Renichi's report that there were as many as 3 or 4,000 Chinese paratroopers, and he believed that Takano Renichi must have experienced the bombing and was a little overly nervous, unable to make a concrete judgment of the enemy's situation in the dark of night, for fear of being accused of ineffective combat, so he deliberately exaggerated the number of Chinese paratroop units.
"It must be harassment, it must be harassment" Yamashita did not have the airdrop capacity of the three air groups and two transport groups deployed by the US military in China, and he believed that even if the Chinese dug three feet into the ground, they would definitely not be able to gather 4,000 paratroopers, and the only possibility was that Takano Renichi panicked and miscalculated the number of enemies.
"This damn coward, how did he become an emperor, doesn't he know what shame and shame are," Yamashita snorted angrily, which made everyone in the headquarters start to get nervous, for fear that he would do something wrong, so he became the commander's punching bag.
Although Yamashita was so angry that his eyes were wide and his hair was upside down, he quickly calmed down his excitement, because tonight was not only very important to him personally, but also played a pivotal role in the future of the entire new Indian Front and even the entire Japanese Empire.
This will be a decisive battle with a sign of victory, almost all the elite main forces of the British and Indian troops, together with the Chinese Expeditionary Force troops in India, Australian troops, etc., are all concentrated in Calcutta, which creates a once-in-a-lifetime fighter for Yamashita Fengfumi, and taking Kolkata is equivalent to capturing India, which is a great opportunity that cannot be missed for Yamashita Fengfumi, who is extremely eager to stabilize his position with brilliant martial arts.
Unlike Nobuo Tanaka, the new commander of the 33rd Division, and Takahi Hiroguchi, commander of the 15th Division, Sendai, the second division, was second to none in combat effectiveness among the many standing divisions of the Japanese Army, and even the Guards Division was very impressed by this, but the 2nd Division, which had almost never suffered a defeat, suffered a big loss, and the 11th Group Army, the elite descendant of the Chongqing government army, was beaten by him and had no power to fight back.
This good mood lasted until the squadron that was close to defying heaven and earth appeared.
Attack like lightning and thunder.
Guarding like a rocky mountain.
Moreover, this unusual Jichina army would give people an extremely dangerous feeling, and Okazaki Kiyozaburo had to sacrifice a brigade as a bait in the end.
The main force walked around lightly and escaped the opponent's interception in all directions. on this.
Kiyozaburo Okazaki has always been very obsessed.
This was considered a great insult to the Second Division and to his personal reputation. suddenly forgot that it was he who led Budu to flee in a panic despite public opinion.
The so-called light equipment is actually to throw away everything that can be thrown away.
As long as a person flees back, it is a victory.
Although the three division commanders had a slight unpleasantness when they had previously passed through the position of the Anglo-Indian 20th Infantry Division, which had already "revolted", which division was the first to pass through.
In the end, Yamashita Fengwen personally ordered the second division as the first attack echelon.
For the commander of the local arrangement.
Nobuo Tanaka and Takahei Hiroguchi also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Although it was late at night.
But the Allied Command in the west of Kolkata was still brightly lit at the moment.
The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Lord Mountbatten, is convening a high-level military meeting.
Coincidentally, the generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were selectively and deliberately forgotten.
Mountbatten quietly looked around at everyone in the room.
He also looked meaningfully at Major General Lechmonkoll, who was in charge of convening the meeting.
He knows it.
Apparently this must have been Lechmont's idea.
Lechmont, an extreme white supremacist, seems to have done another thing that would make the Chinese very unhappy.
Mountbatten turned to the guard officer and said in a deep voice, "Immediately drive my car and invite General Zheng Dongguo to come to the meeting."
It was said that this was an emergency meeting of the local government.
Mountbatten then sat back in his chair.
Pick up the black tea in front of you and taste it carefully.
It feels like you're in a farm somewhere in England and you're having afternoon tea.
And not in print field with enemy forces.
Hearing this, Lechmonker stood up and blinked, and found that Lord Mountbatten didn't even look at him, opened his mouth, and finally sat down very self-awarely.
In normal times, Mountbatten can tolerate Lechmoncole's behavior, and often turns a blind eye to the past, after all, the British Empire and China are not on the same starting line from politics to military, and it is normal to be a little arrogant as a British Empire.
What really made Mountbatten very angry was Lesh Moncor's petty temperament and filthy playfulness, and the Third Mechanized Corps, which was reorganized from the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India, had become the absolute support and barrier of the defense of Calcutta, and Song Yuhang used the US military transport plane to airlift armored troops to Calcutta, and wantonly looted American aid materials under the banner of helping allies evacuate non-combatants, especially the general named Chang Tianfang, who put seals on 25 of the 27 material warehouses and sent troops to guard them, Claimed to be property belonging to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that someone has been so arrogant and frenzied in the colonies of the British Empire, but Mountbatten can still tolerate these almost unreasonable practices, because Mountbatten knows very well that 308 of all 329 43E tanks in Calcutta are in the hands of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and they are listed in the third mechanized army sequence, and his dignified Allied Supreme Commander in Southeast Asia directly commands only 211 vehicles, 9 of which cannot be repaired due to lack of parts.
Since the matter passed President Roosevelt of the United States, Mountbatten knew for whatever purpose that this dumb British man had to eat, and that he had to eat it very well, in order to show the grace and tolerance of the British Empire.
The current world situation has made Mountbatten feel a little relieved, and the decisive battle between the US Navy and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet in the waters near the Guadalcanal Islands can be said to be earth-shattering, and this is the largest naval battle in the history of mankind in which aviation combat power is the main means.
Mountbatten, like Song Yuhang, did not care about the losses of both Japan and the United States, they only cared about who won the naval battle in the end, and even Mountbatten, who was born in the navy, had little desire to look through the battle report that was almost detailed to the origins and resumes of the officers and soldiers who died in battle.
In India, the British held Calcutta with the help of the Allies, which was a successful hold in the true sense of the word, because the vast majority of the Japanese attacks fell on the heads of the British and Indian troops, and the Chinese expeditionary force seemed to be more leisurely in comparison, often fighting in the west of the city with thick smoke and corpses, while the east of the city did not fire a single bullet Mountbatten did not know what the Japanese commander in the east of the city thought Is it really the same as the rumors, the arrogant Japanese are really afraid of the Chinese Mountbatten, who didn't realize that he was about to be in a catastrophe, was obviously in a pretty good mood at the moment, but Song Yuhang, who commanded the battle deployment on the nameless heights outside Naba, did not seem to have a good time.
The tanks were blown up, the infantry suffered too many casualties, they were withdrawn and reorganized, the artillery fire covered the strike, and the field artillery arrived at close range to shoot The commanders of the Chinese Expeditionary Force at all levels can be said to have used all the tricks they can use, and everyone understands that they are racing against time at the moment, and it seems that the Japanese on the other side are also deliberately delaying time, for this piece of cake that has swallowed the throat, Song Yuhang, as the highest military commander of the expeditionary force, has no reason to spit it out, and he can't spit it out.

Judging from the changes in the international war situation, especially the US military finally won the battle of Guadalcanal, severely damaged the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, broke the defensive circle of the Japanese army's second chain of islands, and attacked Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Guam for the next step, and then approached Japan's absolute defensive circle, which is a glorious road to victory.
According to the report on the internal war in Kunming, Song Yuhang knew that although the US Navy won the victory, the price paid was greater than that of the Japanese, and it can be said that from a tactical point of view, the Japanese defeated the Americans, but from a strategic point of view, this battle was a solid foundation laid by the United States in order to completely defeat Japan.
In the same year, the major shipyards on the east and west coasts of the United States had a total of nearly one million tons of ships of various types completed the final assembly and launched into service, and it was also in 1800 fighter and bomber pilots who had undergone half a year of intensive training rushed to their respective posts, compared with Japan, which was short of materials, only 40,000 tons of ships were launched, and 90 pilots graduated from the 211-day speed training class and rushed to the front.
Just as after the Battle of Guadalcanal, Isoroku Yamamoto, who escaped by chance, lamented on the battered Yamato: "We won this battle, but we lost the whole war":
