Chapter 146 Strategic Depth

From Chennai to. New Delhi is indeed a bit far away. But the infrastructure of the Chinese Federation is good. Even in the state of feudal society, Lianbao had already built a route from Chennai to New Delhi. New Delhi's status is more than just the capital of India in the 21st century. It is the heart of the whole of India and is extremely important, both historically and geographically. It can be said that even if it has no political significance, in a geographical sense. It was inevitable that it would become the capital of India.

New Delhi is close to the Ganges, the holy river of India, but not so close. It is a city with a very good location. Everyone thought. The Britannes would land in Calcutta. Then he attacked along the Ganges to New Delhi, where Lelouch is now. But obviously. Schunezel's means are not something that others can imagine. Schunezel chose one of the best landing locations.

Then, along the coastline, the navy of the Bunitalia Empire covered each other, and continued to advance

Their purpose was undoubtedly the mouth of the Ganges, Kolkata, and even Dhaka.

To tell the truth, it was very difficult for the army of the Union of India to hold back the army of the Britannian Empire, first of all, there was a line along the coast on the side of the Indian Military Region. Railways that are directly connected to major coastal cities. The Knightmare of the Bunitalia Empire is the most suitable for advancing on the railway, or from the very beginning, the design concept of this knightmare is to advance on the railway.

And then cooperate with the attack and supply of ships on the sea. It can be said that the Bunitalia Empire had no problem at all in advancing all the way to Kolkata by sea.

After taking Calcutta, he followed the Ganges and advanced all the way from the Ganges River. These roads and railways are extremely close to the Ganges. They could have relied on Yokogawa's supply ships as the center and advanced all the way to New Delhi. Although this is a set of tactics to fight from south to north and then from north to west.

I have to say that after cooperating with my own knightmare. This tactic is undoubtedly very suitable.

Although along the way, the Indian army lay in ambush on both sides of the railway, constantly stopping the Bunitarian Empire with electromagnetic weapons. But there is no doubt that with the cooperation of land and air warfare and the knightmare of sea warfare, these electromagnetic weapons will not be able to play any role at all, and can only allow the Bunitaria Empire to push forward with decay.

Is there no way for Lelouch to resist the Empire?

Of course not. Lelouch was just luring the enemy deeper. If Schunezel is still immersed in the previous impression that there are only three or four thousand knightmare in the Indian Military Region, then there is no doubt that Schunezel will be surrounded by more than 20,000 machines.

You know, even if the Britannian Empire loses more than 8,000 pilots and mechs, it is definitely not an easy small matter.

It will greatly damage the strength of the Bunitarian Empire and cause a great delay to the pace of the Bunitarian Empire's global unification.

What's more, once the Bunitarian Empire delayed its own advance, then the Chinese Federation and the EU had time to catch up with the Empire.

And everyone who knows Kailar believes that once the Empire's advance is slowed down, then the speed of the Chinese Federation and the EU's catching up will definitely shock the Bunitaria Empire.

And Lelouch's current task is to delay the Bunitarian Empire.

The Federation of India is a large country with a land area of more than 2.98 million square meters.

If a country wants to become an international power, the most important thing is land, which is not only about producing more things, but also about making the country self-sufficient. One of the manifestations of war is that the size of the country's land will give the country a deep strategic depth. And the length of strategic depth represents the country's tolerance for error.

Take China as an example. First of all, the northern plains are rich in land and resources, and a large number of crops are suitable for tank cluster operations, which is why China has always been very worried about the Soviet tank cluster, but even if the entire northern Soviet Union of China falls. South China, south of the Yangtze River. It is still possible to use the Yangtze River natural insurance to resist. Clusters of opposing tanks.

Even if you take a step back, the entire south of the Yangtze River will be captured, and China will still be able to retreat into the Sichuan Basin, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It's a natural level.

Further south, there is Guangdong, an important economic province like Shaoguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Hunan region is even more mountainous. Best for fighting guerrilla warfare.

And the other way around. The attack on China began in the south of Guangdong. It also needs to go through layers of river and mountain antennas.

World War II. China is inferior to Japan in terms of the quality of its troops, its productivity, and its economy. Why did you wear Japan to death?

It doesn't depend on this strategic depth. A strategy for land for time?

And now it is the method of confrontation that Lelouch has chosen.

The empire wants to take a country with such a large land so easily, and there is nothing so simple in this world.

Even if the imperial soldiers are fast, but the speed is definitely not as fast as imagined, they only walk a hundred kilometers a day, plus the cities along the raids, plus the resistance of the Indian infantry, they can only go 80 kilometers a day.

And among these 80 kilometers. Siege is also needed.

It can be said that they are definitely not moving too fast, but too slow.

Such a speed is already very fast in modern warfare.

But even so, Schunezel was still not satisfied, not satisfied. The pressure he is facing now is very high, whether it is domestic pressure or pressure from Lu Xiu.

Before Lelouch, the matter of sheltering the Ashford family had been investigated. The next few years have also been investigated by Schunezel's intelligence agency, and it can be said that Lelouch was nothing more than a 17-year-old student who grew up in the academy.

In the face of such a student, Schunezel looked down on him very much. But now he has to admit that his younger brother is a genius, and Lelouch, who inherited Princess Mariana's military talent, cooperated with the new weapons given to him by the Chinese Federation, and defeated the battle-hardened imperial army in the early stage. The current defeat was not so much the defeat of Lelouch as the retreat he had tactically arranged. Schunezel had no idea of having to win on his own. On the contrary, I am very worried.

When a person retracts his fist, he does not necessarily give up fighting. but for more. Punch hard.
