Chapter 416: The Tiger Heading South on the Plateau
Chapter 416 The Tiger Heading South on the Plateau
John Lairdmeier Lawrence was finally able to take a breath recently, because the first batch of 12,000 troops from the mainland had arrived, and the empire's huge institutions were operating, and the frenzied procurement and conscription were carried out on the mainland, and it would take more than a month to follow at the earliest, and close to 20,000 to 30,000 troops had arrived. Fastest updates
It was accompanied by a large number of weapons and warships, as well as an indigenous army that allowed 100,000 to be recruited in India for training, and batches of firearms were manufactured in factories and arrived quickly.
What John Lairdmeier Lawrence didn't expect was that with this army came Prince Harry.
"Your Royal Highness, why are you here?"
Harry looked young and handsome, and was a well-known merry man, showing his confident teeth and smiling: "Mr. Governor-General, the queen is very anxious to hear about the rebirth rebellion in India, so let me come to comfort the imperial soldiers who stayed in India, rest assured that I am here not to interfere with your command, that is, to try to understand the truth, so that London can make more reasonable arrangements, you know that India must be stable, must!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!" John Lairdmeier Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Prince Harry did not come to command, he wanted to regain the military power in the hands of the government and return the empire to monarchy and feudalism.
Harry nodded and then asked him to introduce a general behind him to the front: "This is Rear Admiral Robbie, he is responsible for helping you stabilize the situation in India in the early stage, I believe the situation is not too bad...... right!" ”
The British army is the king of the navy, and it is not surprising that land operations are sometimes mostly led by admirals.
The Indian rebellion ten years ago gave the British Empire some experience in dealing with the indigenous Indians, and the troops that came in the early stage had to first control the coastal strip, and then advance along the two rivers, using the Indian native soldiers to encircle and destroy the rebels in depth one by one.
Referring to the current situation, John Lairdmier Lawrence's face was like constipation, and he talked about the situation bitterly, and after listening to Harry and Robbie, they both showed incredible shock.
It's a bit of a rapid development, it's just listening to myths.
The territory controlled by the Governor's Office has shrunk to less than three federal provinces, and it is still shrinking, with only 3,000 people on the other side.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now there are more than 3,000 Chinese troops, and they suddenly have 5,000 more people near Patna, and on the Burmese side, Upper Burma is also controlled by the Chinese army, and a long road has been built and advanced to the vicinity of East Bengal, but for some reason there is no attack on Lower Burma."
Robbie said worriedly: "What! The Chinese army also took the initiative to attack Burma, so the situation is not good, the Burmese rebels have been hiding in Upper Burma, and now with the support of the Chinese country, they will inevitably take action against Lower Burma, if we can't fight a big victory against the Chinese army here, Lower Burma is likely to be lost because of this matter. ”
Worry is worry, but there is no solution, China borders Myanmar, can have direct contact, everything is convenient, plus Myanmar was a vassal country of China in the past, the sense of identity is much stronger than that of the United Kingdom.
Now that China is advancing westward, it is bound to set off an anti-British ** in Burma, and now this manpower should first stabilize the Ganges River Valley.
So after a brief discussion, Robbie's men were all sent to Batna's line.
Later India had a seven-inch corridor called Siliguri, which was similar to China's Hexi Corridor or Liaoxi Corridor, where a chicken's neck could be stuck with a light grab.
Although the current British Raj did not break away from Bangladesh, Siliguri remained a very important strategic location.
The position is also outside the plain, and the capture of this place can attack the northeastern plain of India to the east, and to the west can attack the eastern part of the Gangetic plain, cutting off the back road of Patna.
But it went straight south, through the two great plains to the Ganges Delta, all the way unimpeded.
At this time, a group of troops coming down from the plateau had just captured the place, and the appearance of a large number of troops somewhat surprised the local Indian army, and what was even more surprising was that these troops looked more like farmers, and basically did not have any decent weapons.
However, since the capture of Siliguri, they have a considerable amount of weaponry, and it will become more and more sophisticated and abundant, because there will be more and more cities waiting for them to conquer, and they will become bigger and bigger.
"It seems that the intelligence is not wrong! His Majesty really drew all the British Indian troops to the west. "In the city lord's mansion in Siliguri, Zhu Dawu put out the map to synthesize the information, had his own judgment, and at the same time was more sure of his own actions, thinking that the more and more troops coming down from the plateau, the whole person became more and more confident, and of course more crazy.
Knocking on the table, Zhu Dawu said to his cronies: "Report it, continue to go south tomorrow, I will take Djerbaiguri within three days, and I will rush across the Hakata River within half a month......!" ”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host's forces for capturing ......! ”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host's army for slaying ......! ”
Listening to the continuous reports of the system, Yang Dongfang stood up leisurely, walked out of the room, and looked to the northeast: "It seems that Zhu Dawu has gone south, but this result is a little surprising, how many troops ...... he has done!" ”
Yang Dongfang couldn't help but be surprised, because after continuous battles on his side, he had already let Zhang Yujue's people recuperate, and he had not continued to attack the city in the past few days, but the soaring prestige value, as well as the continuous refreshment of the number of destroyed countries, let him know that his own people had invaded the hinterland of India.
And this person should not have anyone else except Zhu Dawu, who went south from the plateau, even if it is the southwest theater in the east, there will be no such results, because the road there is difficult to walk, and the land route has been widened, and there will not be too many Indian troops and decent cities on the India-Myanmar border.
"In this case, I should create a stronger offensive momentum in Patna, and in half a month, Zhu Dawu should be able to kill the undefended East Bengal, and then I will return to the coast and quietly blitz Gagolta." Yang Dongfang believed that his judgment would not be wrong, and immediately issued a new order, and then ...... Then I went to sleep beautifully.
After all, the experience of going to India is very cool, but it is also very tiring!
Time passed quickly on the 10th, John Lairdmeier Lawrence received two news, one happy and one worried, the good news is that although the Chinese army in the west is very strong, but it has not moved half a step east, Wall has the support of Robbie, and everything has changed for the better.
But the next worrying aspect caught him even more off guard, and he collapsed on the sofa until Prince Harry hurried in, and he didn't stand up and salute!
"Your Excellency the Governor, I have heard that an army has moved south from Sikkim, first captured Siliguri and then quickly broke through to Djalpaiguri, and even Bogra and Maimensin have fallen." Harry hurried in to confirm the news, but when he saw John Lairdmier Lawrence's appearance, he was stunned for a moment and knew that the news was true.
It took a long time for John Lairdmeier Lawrence to reply: "It's Maimensing, and in three days it might be Dhaka." ”
After saying that, John Lairdmeier Lawrence felt old.
"What Dhaka! That is our heaviest city in India, the place where we first conquered India, it should not be so fast, and the army there can't even stop the indigenous rebels? ”
John Lairdmeier Lawrence smiled bitterly and replied: "Your Royal Highness, it is indeed our strongest city in India, with the most loyal natives, but the army there has long been withdrawn, and there are no decent troops in the entire East Bengal and Assam provinces, so there is no way to stop the rebels." ”
Well, John Lairdmeier Lawrence received the news very backward, thinking that it was a native indigenous rebellion, and he didn't know that it was a tiger coming down from the plateau.
It wasn't until Harry came back to his senses in a daze and said something inexplicably that he remembered something.
"There are no more troops in East Bengal and Assam, so it's not unfortified, how can you transfer all the troops, and didn't I hear that a force of 2,000 people went up the plateau to attack Huaguo to explore the way and get them back."
If you don't transfer the troops in these two areas, what will you do to block the Chinese army advancing eastward, etc., the exploration team on the plateau, it seems that there has been no news for a long time, didn't you retreat from the plateau when you came back from the last message?
John Lairdmayer Lawrence still did not think about this force to the Chinese army on the plateau, but thought that Prince Harry was right, and ordered them to attack the rebels from the north, and he was moving Mecaron's troops from the Subernareka River to the north bank of the Hakata River.
Therefore, he said with great approval: "His Royal Highness reminds us that we must quickly put out the rebellion in East Bengal, and we must not let them grow unscrupulously and destroy our forward bases in India. ”
