    In the early morning of the 23rd, before dawn, the strategic military airport of the Republic of China on the Arabian Peninsula was busy. The pilots in the waiting room ran out one after another.  They received the mission to launch large-scale bombings against the British Army in Egypt, the French Army in Yemen, and the British Army in India.  Amid the roar of engines, bombers and fighter jets flew into the sky one after another. Among these bombers, although there were still many mosquito bombers, more of them were 5-engine heavily armored bombers.  In addition to the original Tianhuo 1 bomber, the Republic of China has developed the Tianhuo 2 bomber. The Tianhuo 2 bomber has a bomb load of up to 13,000 kilograms, 5,000 kilograms more than the Tianhuo 1. It is a super large bomber.  With a combat radius of 4,500 kilometers, it is a strategic bomber designed by the Republic of China for carpet bombing and bombing enemy rear areas.  At 3 a.m., the first wave of 1,600 planes taking off from the strategic airport in the Middle East Province of the Republic of China flew to Egypt.  The British army in Egypt was bombed in their sleep. Although war had been declared the day before, the British army did not expect to be bombed at night.  In this world, aircraft cannot yet operate at night.  ¡° However, the Air Force of the Republic of China has realized the popularization of night combat technology and equipment. The aircraft can not only perform bombing missions at night, but also conduct air combat at night.  Bombs were dropped screaming from overhead, rows and rows of bombs.  The British military camp was blown into a sea of ??flames. At the same time, British warehouses, hospitals and other facilities were also severely bombed.  During a bombing.  A lot of bombs were dropped.  Among the more than 30 British troops deployed in Egypt, nearly 50,000 were killed or lost in combat.  At the same time, the British Mediterranean Fleet near the Suez Canal also suffered a night attack.  In less than half an hour of air strikes, five battleships and 16 destroyers were sunk.  The second wave flew to Yemen to deal with the French.  At the same time, more than 2,000 planes took off from Afghan airports to fly to India.  India has many bombing missions, mainly bombing the British military's combat transportation hubs and bombing the British Asia Fleet.     in India.  The number of British troops reached 200,000, and there were also many Indian soldiers, adding up to more than 800,000 troops.  But those 600,000 Indian soldiers are obviously unreliable.  Britain also wants to increase India's defense capabilities, but it is really powerless and beyond its reach to India.  The Asiatic Fleet also suffered heavy losses under the fierce bombing of the Republic of China in the early morning of that day, and the British military station in India was even more indiscriminately bombed.  5 o'clock in the morning.  It's already dawn.  According to the battle plan.  The Republic of China then sent a large number of airborne troops to Egypt, India, Myanmar, and Malay. Egypt airdropped 50,000 troops, India airdropped 100,000 troops, Myanmar airdropped 30,000 troops, and Malay airdropped 20,000 troops.  These airdropped troops were mainly used to encircle the British rear.  Or seize some transportation hubs to cooperate with the frontal attack.  This scale of airdrop may seem large to other countries.  But it is a trivial matter for the Republic of China. The Republic of China has a large number of transport aircraft that can be put into use.  While delivering soldiers behind enemy lines.  It can also have sufficient capabilities to ensure the supply of airdrop troops.  The 600,000-strong field army of the Republic of China invaded India from Afghanistan. The British army could only be said to collapse at the first touch. The air force of the Republic of China was too powerful.  Before the two sides started contact, the British airport had been bombed in large numbers, and almost all the planes were blown up.  How can the British army fight a war after losing air supremacy?  As soon as the British army lost air supremacy, its tanks were blown up by the Chinese Air Force as soon as they rolled out. Without tanks, it was impossible to compete with the Republic of China Field Army on land.  The British army could only hide in the fortifications, but to deal with those fortifications and fortresses, the Republic of China used equipment such as fire-breathing tanks.  As long as the British army is surrounded, they will basically not resist and will soon raise the white flag and surrender.  The British have lived a good life comfortably for so many years, and they are all very delicate. In addition, the Europeans' consciousness is different from that of Asia, so naturally they will not fight to the death.  In just three days, the Field Army of the Republic of China advanced all the way to Bikaner, India. If it were not for the hindrance of the mountains on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, it might have been able to advance even deeper.  The field army of the Republic of China invaded India, and the Indian people were excited.  Along the way, the Field Army of the Republic of China maintained strict military discipline, refrained from looting or committing adultery, and tried to do as little damage as possible (destruction was allowed if necessary for combat). This style of work was warmly welcomed by the Indian people.  The Chinese ** team is like a savior that can free India from colonial rule.  In particular, the Republic of China sent bombers to drop leaflets in large numbers across India.     TheseThe leaflet promoted to the Indian people that the Field Army of the Republic of China entered India to fight in order to drive away the British colonists.  He also promised the Indian people that he would allow India independence after the war and would help India form a democratic and independent government.  At the same time, he called on the Indian people to stand up bravely and resist the brutal British colonists.  The commander of the attack on India was Army General Wu Peifu of the Republic of China. He was a traditional scholar who was very knowledgeable in Chinese studies and traditional culture. Therefore, he was sent to fight in India because India is also a spiritually civilized country, and the core of its civilization is "Barking".  Tuo Jing" is similar to the Chinese "Book of Changes".  Wu Peifu only wanted 600,000 troops and promised to resolve the Indian theater within three months.  "To solve India in March, it is more important to arm the Indians. This will make it difficult for the British army to move forward." As soon as Wu Peifu arrived in the theater, he immediately revised his combat ideas.  Wu Peifu applied to the Supreme Command for the allocation of 500,000 submachine guns, 500,000 rifles, as well as a large number of bullets, grenades and other equipment, and then used the Indian insurgents trained by the Military Intelligence Bureau to let them take action again to control the British army.  Weak rural areas of India formed local armed forces.  Then through radio contact, the Republic of China dispatched its air force to airdrop these supplies to them.  Wu Peifu also set a rule, who has the largest territory.  Whoever defeats more British troops will get more combat supplies. After India becomes independent in the future.  Benefits will also be distributed according to this standard.  "This will lead to the emergence of many Indian warlords, so what will happen after India becomes independent?" Jiang Yu asked Wu Peifu on the phone.  "When the time comes, we can win over a group of people, suppress a group of them, and isolate a group of them, and the problem will naturally be solved. India's terrain is flat, and these warlords can easily be solved." Wu Peifu said.  "We can even split India into a dozen small countries so that they can never pose a threat to China." Jiang Yu thought for a while and felt that this method was indeed feasible.  So he added: "A group of military instructors will be parachuted over to be responsible for guiding and reviewing their operations." "Yes, Marshal." Wu Peifu responded.  Jiang Yu is not worried about India. India lacks dragon veins.  It will always be just a dancing nation.  Even if India is not divided, it doesn't matter. India cannot pose any threat to China.  For those Indians trained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, when they encounter this opportunity, who doesn¡¯t want to control the future of India?  Wu Peifu understood their psychology correctly, so he first airdropped cheap submachine guns, rifles and other conventional arms to the local Indian armed forces on transport planes for free.  In this way, India will be full of local armed forces.  When India becomes independent in the future, it will inevitably produce a large number of warlords, who can then be split into several mutually hostile countries.  This allows the Republic of China to sell arms and support a puppet government.  Then they sell arms to the Indian government forces to eliminate other warlords. These are all benefits.  These supplies were airdropped to various regions in India at extremely fast speeds. Local armed forces in India received military equipment and also received guidance from Chinese military instructors. Within half a month, the entire India fell into riots.  In China, the British army could no longer stand in India and could only barely control some cities.  The 500,000 Chinese field troops who invaded India faced no obstacles along the way.  A soldier wrote in his diary: "This is a military walk, very relaxed. Before we arrived, the British army's ruling system had collapsed, and most of the British troops retreated to a few coastal cities.  Among them. "The British Asiatic Fleet was bombarded by bombers from multiple directions from the Republic of China at the beginning of the war, and the entire fleet was almost wiped out.  China¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet and China¡¯s South China Sea Fleet have assembled a battle group with eight aircraft carriers as the core to launch an assault on Singapore.  Singapore is a strategic location guarding the Strait of Malacca. The British built a strong fortress group here and stationed 100,000 British troops.  The Chinese field army outflanked the British army from the rear, that is, launched an attack on the British army from the direction of Siam. The British army was caught off guard, and 100,000 British troops were surrounded in an instant.  In order to reduce casualties, the Chinese army and navy adopted a siege policy against Singapore and frantically poured firepower on the British troops in Singapore.  On the second day after the British army was besieged, the army and navy of the Republic of China fired a large number of rockets and artillery fire at the British army.  The ship-borne 36-tube 105mm rocket launcher was a very popular piece of equipment in the Navy of the Republic of China at this time. It was found on almost every battleship. There were also many frigates and destroyers equipped with this powerful equipment.  A single volley is like the roar of a thunder god.  The British position was instantly engulfed in flames.    In the Myanmar theater, the Southwestern National Defense Force of the Republic of China quickly captured the China-Burma Railway. This railway was built in World War I and was a channel for China to export arms and supplies to the United Kingdom. At this time, it became a channel for the Republic of China to attack Myanmar.  a passage.  At the same time, the Field Army of the Republic of China launched an attack on Burma from the direction of Siam, launching a two-sided attack on Burma.  Before the British Army in Myanmar came into contact with the Chinese Army, they were violently bombed by the Air Force of the Republic of China. The bombs were dropped as if they were free of charge.  Lin Lihai is a battalion commander of the 136th Regiment of the 69th Division of the Southwest National Defense Force. He was ordered to break into Myanmar from the Yunnan border to fight and was a vanguard force.  As soon as they broke into northern Myanmar, before they encountered the British army, they heard that the British army had been bombed by the air force and retreated towards Yangon.  The march went smoothly on the first day, covering 160 kilometers along the railway line.  The next day was still calm, and we were warmly welcomed by the Burmese natives along the way.  "This battle launched by the Chinese came as liberators, so it was welcomed by the indigenous people." Lin Lihai wrote in his diary.  Suddenly there was a loud gunshot outside, and Lin Lihai ran out quickly.  A new recruit was found to have been shot dead, and the following reported that a British sniper was lying in ambush on a hill not far away.  It was already night, and Lin Lihai immediately put the lights on.  At the same time, he reported this enemy situation to his superiors. This was the only enemy situation he encountered in two days.  Originally, Lin Lihai just wanted to go through the motions and send someone to take out the British sniper.  However, what puzzled him was that his superiors quickly issued an order asking Lin Lihai to use firepower to eliminate the British snipers while ensuring the safety of the soldiers.  Looking at this instruction, Lin Lihai opened his mouth for a long time without reacting.  Fire strike?  Isn¡¯t this a cannon to kill mosquitoes?  Lin Lihai found out later.  It turned out that the battle situation on the front line was too smooth, and the country had entered a state of all-out war, resulting in excess arms production capacity.  The frontline soldiers couldn't destroy that much ammunition.  That's why their superiors gave orders to them to 'squander' arms as much as possible.  At this time, although Lin Lihai didn't know what was going on, he still followed the orders of his superiors and pulled out the six rocket launchers equipped in the camp.  Then aim at the hilltop where the British snipers are.  There was a burst of fierce firepower, and the entire hilltop was suddenly engulfed in a sea of ??fire.  Early the next morning, Lin Lihai sent people to search the hilltop and found the body of the British sniper in a small ditch.  ¡° Also on this morning, two transport helicopters delivered the supplies consumed by the two-day ¡®battle¡¯ to their battalion from the supply depot at the back.  This is the first time Lin Lihai has seen this kind of helicopter that can fly like a bamboo dragonfly.  To Lin Lihai¡¯s surprise, their battalion was actually assigned an armed helicopter, a small transport helicopter, and four helicopter pilots.  I saw that the armed helicopter they were assigned was equipped with two 12.7mm electric Vulcan cannons.  There are also 5 rockets hanging on it, which is definitely a ferocious low-altitude firepower fortress.  Can adapt to various tasks.  The main task is anti-tank.  Lin Lihai found out after asking the pilot that this kind of aircraft, called a helicopter, was developed by the Republic of China more than ten years ago, but it has been kept secret.  Many units of the Field Army began to equip themselves secretly last year, and this year the Field Army has begun to equip them on a large scale.  And the National Defense Force he belongs to has just been equipped.  This armed helicopter named Zhi-2, as well as the Dragonfly 3 transport helicopter, played a big role in the subsequent advancement.  The Dragonfly 3 transport helicopter is a small helicopter, mainly used to transport the wounded on the battlefield. It can quickly transport the wounded to the rear field hospital in complex terrain.  The Z-2 armed helicopter is very fierce. The British anti-aircraft cannons cannot hit it. The rifles of the British infantry cannot pose any threat to this bulletproof armed helicopter. The anti-aircraft machine guns are basically useless. The British army lacks individual air defense weapons.  , there is nothing you can do with this kind of armed helicopter.  Almost invincible, he rampaged across the front lines and hunted down some British troops who were still retreating.  As for a head-on confrontation, don¡¯t even think about it.  If you don't hide in the fortifications, you will be indiscriminately bombed by the Chinese Air Force and strategic artillery.  Chinese soldiers call for air support and artillery support at every turn.  Hiding in the fortifications is even worse. It won¡¯t take long for the trenches to be smashed to pieces by the armored troops of the Republic of China. They will quickly encircle them after digging a gap. At that time, if they want to escape, they will have no way to go to the sky and no way to the ground.  What the British army can do is to keep retreating and retreating.  This is a completely asymmetric war.  ? ?A group of British troops rushed forward and were defeated all the way to Yangon in three days.  After arriving in Yangon, I sadly discovered that the navy was no longer functioning.  Unless they retreat to the mountains to fight guerrillas, the conditions there are so harsh that most of them may have been swallowed up by the jungle without the Chinese taking action.  If I stay in Yangon, should I jump into the sea and swim back to the UK?  The British army in India is similar. They were defeated all the way to the coast of India, and maritime traffic has been blocked by the Chinese submarine force.  After the Chinese navy formed a siege on Singapore, it quickly moved towards India and quickly blocked the Indian sea routes tightly.  The British army had no choice but to retreat.  And the British army in the Indian subcontinent, because of China's military assistance, led to the emergence of a large number of local armed forces, making it difficult for them to move.  The British troops in Singapore, Yangon, and Bombay were surrounded one after another. The British troops under siege were extremely desperate because they were too far away from their homeland.  Every British soldier knows that waiting for local support is impossible.  They can only fight alone. If they resist stubbornly, they will only lose their lives.  The British Army in Singapore was the first to surrender, followed by the British Army in Rangoon and Bombay, which did not last more than half a month after being surrounded and surrendered one after another.  In the battles against the British in Malaya, Burma, and India, the losses of the Chinese army, navy and air force were very small, with less than 1,000 people killed.  This was mainly due to the support of the British colonial people, the lack of guerrilla attacks, and the fact that military technology and scale had a crushing effect on the British army.  Among them, the Indian theater was the most successful. India itself is a large place, and it was very troublesome to annihilate the British army. However, Wu Peifu destroyed the rule of the British army by supporting local armed forces, forcing the British army to concentrate, and then swallowed up the British army in India.  military.  The war in Yemen was resolved more quickly.  Yemen is a small place. The French army was bombed by the Chinese Air Force. They all surrendered in less than two days. During this period, the French army only made symbolic resistance.  The main battlefield has become Africa.  The Chinese Army is responsible for the battlefields in North and Central Africa, while the Navy is responsible for the South African battlefield.  After the Air Force of the Republic of China launched a series of indiscriminate bombings on the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, 1.5 million troops poured into Egypt like a tide, instantly destroying the British Egyptian army.  (To be continued)
