The process of recovering Port Blair was very smooth, and the rioters had no capital to resist, at least not on the surface. The real test was the jungle battle on the island.

The two sides are not particularly unfamiliar with jungle warfare, because the Southeast Asian battlefield itself is the home of jungle warfare, and the British-Indian coalition and Japanese troops have fought here for several years.

As the first Sikh regiment of the landing army, it was stationed in Port Blair under the leadership of the regiment Das Singh. The Sikhs who landed were also shocked by the skeletons on the island. After rescuing the prisoners who were not killed but were held , everyone knew that the captives and indigenous people on the island were used as rations.

Although there had been speculation before the landing, the fact that the speculation became a reality still made everyone angry.

Das Singh also followed the British in the South and the North, and faced a lot of Japanese troops, but it was the first time he saw such a large-scale cannibalism.

"They must be completely wiped out. The one left by these lunatics is a blasphemy to the whole world, and the master will agree with us to do so." The commanders of the Sikh regiment were filled with righteous indignation.

On the subcontinent, Sikhism is extremely special, and its teachings are anti-peace and anti-Hinduism. As a result, they are mixed together, and they have become like a group of normal people. There is no taboo, and they have always been relied on by the British Empire.

This reliance has led to a disproportionate number of Sikhs serving in the Indian Army. Sikhs are also willing to join the army and change their lives through war. Naturally, this action did not forget them.

The Indian troops that landed almost immediately regained control of Port Blair, but they were still very far away from victory, and the time was short. There were only two or three hours of daylight, and the risk of entering the jungle to pursue them was quite high.

After discussion, several commanders, including Das Singh, decided to restore the facilities in Port Blair first, and to clear the jungle rioters was not an overnight thing.

The telegram was then sent to New Delhi, and at this time New Delhi was discussing how to dump the blame... Well, to discuss a perfect solution, after all, this is not a glorious thing, although it has nothing to do with the gentlemen of the British Empire in essence, but It is inevitable that someone will make a fuss if it is spread, which will lead to some unforeseen consequences.

This is not a good thing for everyone. After receiving the telegram from the landing troops, it is not acceptable to not respond, and a response that is too obvious is easy to fall into place.

"Why don't we put the full command of the Indian commanders on the front line, they can do what they want." Alan Wilson looked at Sir Barron and General Erwin, and since they were arguing, he put the blame to the Indians See how they do it.

Port Blair, including the commander of the Sikh regiment, was there. Aliman Thakar, as the supreme commander, held a telegram from New Delhi to let everyone express their opinions, "Actually, it is very obvious that this telegram from the British is to let us solve the problem. , that's what the British have done for a hundred years."

"Master, do the British want us to solve all the problems?" Das Singer confirmed, "To be honest, it's not wrong to kill all these people."

"It is true that what happened on this island will definitely be criticized by the whole world, but Japan is a defeated country, and it will definitely not feel anything. Those gentlemen in New Delhi are afraid of hurting themselves." Aliman Takar raised his hand. The telegram reported, "The telegram's final statement that disarmament will never fall on our troops is beyond obvious."

Everyone knows that the Governor's Office is now promoting disarmament, and many troops have been laid off to take farmland in the allocated area and become a farmer.

Such a placement is of course conscience, but it is for ordinary soldiers, and for senior commanders in the army, they absolutely do not want the goal of disarmament to fall on themselves.

Seeing the tacit nods of all the commanders, Aliman Thakar began to formulate a battle plan. The situation has become clear. Although the number of rioters is large and there are some weapons, they are destined to be incomparable with the fully armed regular army, especially the landing. The Indian troops also knew that the other side did not have many weapons in their hands.

In essence, this action can be regarded as a low-risk, high-reward action. It is also possible for everyone to be promoted together. The war is over, and such opportunities are rare.

As long as this matter is handled cleanly and the English gentlemen in New Delhi are not embarrassed, a large part of the difficulties will be solved.

"Everyone knows the situation, let me talk about the current situation first." Alimantakar cleared his throat and said, "First, the purpose of destroying the enemy's camp has been achieved, but the results of the battle cannot be expanded; second, the originally imagined eradication cannot be achieved. Realized, because it is difficult for the troops to operate as soon as they step into the jungle, and thirdly, many scattered rioters attack us in the dense forest. They are familiar with the road, and they are agile in their actions. Immediately after the harassment, they hide in the jungle and cannot pursue them, even if there is an open area. , When chasing, bullets often fly in the face, and all you see is a group of trees and deep grass. Fortunately, our firepower is powerful and fierce. We shoot blindly into the jungle, sometimes hitting the right side, killing a few people in the jungle. "

"Can we use the reconnaissance plane to find out where the rioters are hiding?" Das Singh offered his opinion.

Alimantakar shook his head slightly and said, "This is an isolated island. Several bombings have already been destroyed, and the reconnaissance plane that took off from the surrounding land will return to the archipelago soon after flying, and the pressure is still great."

The war room was quiet, and the planned aggressive attack suddenly couldn't be carried out due to various conditions. It was completely unexpected. It was originally thought that the information was conclusive and well-deployed, but it had to go back to the original point, that is, go deep into the jungle and hide and seek the enemy.

"Although the number of rioters is large, there are not many weapons, and the risk is still controllable." Alimantakar said silently for a long time, "Prepare to go deep into the jungle to fight, anyway, it is an island, they can't escape."

"Yes, division commander." Several troop commanders, including Das Singh, nodded at the same time.

As a result, the night was uneventful except for sporadic disturbances. At this time, the atmosphere of the command changed again, and the Japanese prisoners of war also knew that their weapons could not be compared with the landing troops, so they did not choose to confront them. Aliman Thakar seemed to regret that yesterday's move was too cautious, and ordered his troops to continue looking for fighter planes in the jungle the next day.

Although the terrain on the island is not high, the dense jungle is a trap for rash intruders. The troops have changed from being a pack to an advance, taking the company as a unit, and advancing from the coastline to the mountains.

According to reports from various units, there were dozens of small-scale attacks, and troops suffered casualties and were extremely fatigued. Some soldiers were dehydrated and passed out due to the sweltering heat of the jungle and sweating profusely.

In fact, the atmosphere at the Governor's Palace is not as tense as the front line. Everyone is eager to get good news. Alan Wilson is guilty of a guilty conscience.

General Erwin had just taken a shower, his ruddy face was radiant in the milky white light, his chin was angular, the bridge of his nose was high and straight, and under his thick eyebrows were a pair of slightly sunken brown eyes. But no arrogance.

However, there was a deep sadness in the eyes cast to Alan Wilson, "Alan, I'm tired of endless military meetings, the war is over, but there is none here, not only have to deal with British India from time to time There was a mutiny, and this time it happened again."

"General Erwin, our stay in British India is entirely to gain time for the recovery of the mainland. This matter is also very important and must persist." Alan Wilson said with relief, "Maybe we have done something wrong. , but as a British citizen, there is no choice, as long as the homeland is restored, the citizen will have a good life."

Alan Wilson is not a soldier after all, and he doesn't need to be like the other side's staff. He has to show his views on the military and his own talents, and he has to consider not taking the lead and giving all the credit to his superiors.

Alan Wilson at the British Army Headquarters in India is more relaxed than at the Governor's Mansion. This is also the purpose of his always coming here~lightnovelpub.net~ There are not many weapons on the island, and it cannot be resisted for a long time. This is everyone. all known facts. If there is no progress for a long time, it is definitely an Indian problem. We are about to wonder if the Indians are reliable. "

Hearing Alan Wilson's words, General Erwin burst into laughter, and finally stopped and pointed at Alan Wilson, "If you had been a hundred years ago, you would have been an outstanding governor of British India."

"I don't dare to think about it." Alan Wilson shook his head and declined, "I just want to be friends with a lot of people." For example, Ali Khan...

Alan Wilson is actually planning to migrate the stray fish on the island to the subcontinent after this riot is over, knowing that the survivors may have been shuddered by the experience on the island, and living in a different place will help make They forget about psychological shadows.

As for the Andaman Islands, it is justifiably under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, and it will be separated from the subcontinent when British India becomes independent.

Alan Wilson expressed optimism about the Andaman Islands action, which is exactly what it is.

After the landed Indian troops began to encircle and suppress them, although there were inevitable losses, the price paid was negligible compared with the killings they caused to the rioters.

In a resolute attitude of repression, the troops gradually narrowed the encirclement until it was compressed on the highland of the archipelago at Sadr Peak.

At this time, the real battle is officially started. Countless rioters are already ready to resist. They already know that they will definitely not end well. They will bring all the food they can eat and stick to it resolutely.

Because of the constant urging of the Governor's Palace, the division commander Aliman Thakar could only order an attack, ignoring the objective reality that a siege could solve the problem for a few days, and completely wipe out these enemies.
