v2 Chapter 1418: Dhaka falls

The matter has come to this point, and everyone understands that the war situation in East Pakistan has entered the countdown, and the term East Pakistan will soon become history.

The whole of Dhaka has been under siege, and the Pakistani defenders in the capital of East Pakistan are in unprecedented chaos. The news that the Indian army will try all the soldiers who suppressed the Bangladeshis in the past year has spread like wildfire. This news has not been confirmed, but it has already had an impact among the defenders.

Alan Wilson released a false news thousands of miles away, which led to such a result. Naturally, he did not expect that the release of false news did not mean that it would definitely have an effect. The fundamental reason is that Pakistan has nothing to do with him, so why? What not to do?

The number of deaths in Pakistan and India has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. More deaths are to reduce the burden on Mother Earth. Macroscopically, he also does this for environmental protection.

"If Dhaka resists to the end, it is still too early to say that the war is over." The Ministry of Defense, the British Chief of Defense Staff Marshal Charles, talked to Alan Wilson, who was a guest, about his own understanding of this war. .

Dhaka is the capital of East Pakistan, and it is also the largest city. Once it sticks to the end, it will not be easy for India to take it down.

Alan Wilson nodded, but he did not agree with this argument, and said, "Marshal, from November 21st to now, it has been a month in the blink of an eye. In fact, judging from the trend, the Indian army The offensive is getting smoother and smoother. It was not smooth at the beginning when fighting on the border, especially the main attack on the western front. But as time went by, the Indian army captured the cities defended by the defenders faster and faster. In the past month, according to the battle reports released by India, almost every announcement has been accompanied by a change of hands of a city."

Perhaps at the beginning, the Pakistani defenders on the defensive side, because of the meeting ceremony of the first ambassador to China, learned from a certain big country that India was going to launch a full-line offensive, and were not caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Indian army. At this stage The battle of the Indian army has no results, and it can even be called boring.

However, after successive breakthroughs on the northern and eastern fronts, as the Pakistani defense line on the western front was torn apart, the offensive of the Indian army suddenly became much smoother. As more and more cities were occupied, India suddenly Found the feeling of being the third in the world, the offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, and the towns around Dhaka were taken down like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

"Perhaps the Pakistani army has reached a critical point. Of course, the possibility of a deadly battle exists, but it is more likely that it is on the verge of collapse. This kind of thing has not never happened on land. On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet Red Army entered a period of time. After 1944, the attacking force surpassed that of the German army, and after a battle, they not only won, but also suffered less damage than the defending German army. Even if the German army defended a well-defended city, it often could not hold out for a few days.”

Marshal Charles nodded and said, "That's right, it's true. In 1944, the German army suddenly couldn't beat the Soviets."

"Germany's elite soldiers have been exhausted, and the newly conscripted soldiers are no match for the Soviets at all. They are as powerless as a drowning wildebeest facing a crocodile. Although the war has never stopped for a moment, theoretically new recruits can fight in the war Get exercise."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said, "So obviously the war has been going on, and the command organization of the German army is also there, but suddenly the German army is no match for the Soviet Red Army at all."

The German army is already a rare and powerful army in the world, and this is still unavoidable. The German army still has local support, unlike the Pakistani army that has already offended the Bangladeshis.

As for why Germany did not carry out general mobilization, it was an excuse to switch to the wartime system late.

In fact, the reason why all countries mobilized successively in the First World War was not to fight the war, but to demonstrate to their opponents through general mobilization. As a result, mutual mobilization triggered a chain reaction. If you mobilize and I mobilize, the war will start.

World War I was a war for which countries were not psychologically prepared, but World War II was not. Long before the outbreak of World War II, the European countries involved had already realized the approaching war. Poland, with a population of less than 30 million, had already There are millions of troops preparing for war.

Before the war started, all countries were ready for a world war, and there was no need for general mobilization at all.

The countries participating in the war are very aware of their own strength, but they just don't understand the strength of their opponents. It is a war with open cards.

As far as Pakistan is concerned now, if the Dhaka defenders still have the fear of surrendering to the false news released by Alan Wilson, that's okay.

I am afraid that when East Pakistan is almost an isolated city, the morale of the Dhaka defenders has collapsed, and it will be impossible to save the gods. The Azov Battalion once said that it would resist to the end.

It can only be said that there are two possibilities. From the perspective of the United Kingdom, the supplies have already been prepared since the independence of the Bangladeshis.

It can be said that the preparation time of the United Kingdom is no later than that of India. As long as an order is issued to the Far East Joint Operations Command, it can rush to the battlefield without any preparation.

What will happen in the end? Although Alan Wilson is thousands of miles away, isn't his elder brother just staring at Sikkim? Thinking of this, Alan Wilson felt a lot easier.

Jamalpur is one of the gateways to Dhaka, and now it is the only place left under the control of the Pakistani defenders. Earlier, the Indian army was unable to capture the Jamalpur-Jmalpur axis after a hard fight. The Kamalpur outpost, this outpost is only defended by a company of the Bizhilu Battalion, but it repelled the Indian army's attack several times that of a strengthened brigade in the past few days, won the respect of the enemy, and forced the Indian army to besiege it.

After plowing the land with heavy artillery, after the Indian army captured Kamalpur, the 95th Brigade of the Indian army divided into three groups to encircle Jamalpur. The Indian army launched an offensive the next day. They first conducted a tentative attack with two battalions.

After the artillery preparations of the air force and artillery, a large-scale offensive began. At the same time, the Indian army dispatched another brigade for reinforcements, and its strength was overwhelming.

The defenders held on to the Jamalpur fortress for two days and two nights under the absolutely inferior force. The Pakistani Army Command believed that the strategic goal had been achieved and ordered the defenders to retreat. The remnants secretly moved towards Dhaka during the night. But at this time, Jamalpur has been surrounded by the Indian army, and it is difficult to withdraw from the encirclement without being discovered.

Sure enough, the First Light Infantry Battalion of the Indian Army spotted the retreating Pakistani Army and blocked the way. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Indian army had not yet arrived, the Pakistani army concentrated their firepower to fight a **** road, broke through the three lines of defense of the Indian army one after another, and finally broke through the encirclement after a fierce battle.

So far, the last gate of Dhaka has fallen, and the whole of Dhaka has been under heavy siege. Soon, an objective and neutral British reporter informed London of the incident, and later David from Sikkim also confirmed the news. Telling Whitehall is a verification of Dhaka's situation.

After besieging Dhaka, the Indian side began to send people to persuade the Dhaka defenders to surrender. The facts are very obvious. Can an isolated city be turned around?

In the western battlefield of the India-Pakistan War, Pakistan’s containment campaign also failed. India not only successfully defended Pakistan’s attack on the western front, but also occupied Pakistan’s land.

"Christmas on December 24." Allen Wilson stared at the calendar, and suddenly remembered a famous saying of the Five-Star Emperor. It seems that this war will be difficult to maintain until 1972, which is a pity.

On this day, the Pakistani defenders in Dhaka cleaned the prisoners held in Dhaka. The only purpose was to erase the traces of these people, because if these people were released from prison, they might be identified as crimes in the process of suppressing Bangladesh. , One hundred and one hundred is the purpose of this operation.

National Liberation Army, Bangladesh Rifles, Bangladesh Liberation Force, National People's Party and other paramilitary organizations and militias.

Members of the resistance movement, students, workers, farmers, nationalists, leftists, radicals, defecting soldiers and police, and intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, writers, etc., are all included in the scope of execution.

After receiving the order, Pakistani soldiers drove tanks and advanced into Dhaka University with heavy weapons. The teachers and students woke up in their sleep, and there were gunshots and crying on the campus. In order to control the campus as soon as possible, the military directly entered the dormitory and started the "indiscriminate" massacre, making the students shut up forever.

The first target of this purge is the intellectuals. In a narrow sense, it is the hostiles against Siba, and in a broad sense, it is all intellectuals and elites of the Bengali ethnic group.

The University of Dhaka, a university established during the British colonial period, is also famous all over the world~lightnovelpub.net~ and Calcutta was once the core area of ​​British rule before World War I, but this day was tormented by blood and fire .

After everything was done, Nyacki, commander of the East Pakistan garrison, sent people out of the city to negotiate with India's latest 95th brigade commander. The two sides negotiated and agreed to a ceasefire and accepted India's request for unconditional surrender. Representatives of the two armies signed the letter of surrender, and Niacki then ordered that the Pakistani army in East Pakistan lay down their weapons and surrender to the Indian army.

The entire territory of East Pakistan was captured, and the news spread like a storm throughout India. The radio, newspapers, and even word of mouth were full of praise for Indira Gandhi.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, the predecessor of Modi's political party, also published the leaders' public speeches, recognizing that Indira Gandhi is the goddess of the Ganges in India and has unshakable absolute authority over the whole of India. The Bharatiya Janata League firmly supports it Indira Gandhi's decisions.

At the same time, the whole of Pakistan was dead silent, and newspapers published headlines in large black boxes: East Pakistan, I cry for you.

In the name of reporting on the heroic appearance of the Indian army, I, a British reporter, proudly raised my chest and followed the Indian army into Dhaka, the capital of East Pakistan. Maybe it won’t be long before its prefix will become the capital of Bangladesh.
