946 Subcontinental Campaign II
The Tang Dynasty did not have so much time and energy to deal with the people's problems in Bangladesh, and the main task of the Tang Army was to pacify Bengal and Bihar, and specifically control the work of the Bengalis. The Bengali people www.biquge.info also belong to a syncretistic people, in this plane, the Bengalis living in Donghui have overwhelmingly turned secularists, the Middle Bengalis are Greens, and the West Bengalis are Hindus. In fact, the gap between these three groups of people is already very large, and there is even a problem of hostility between each other. But they all speak the same language and can still communicate.
The Tang army soon burned the flames of war to Bihar again, and not only did the Tang army use Bangladesh as a springboard to send troops, but the Indian Tang army troops from the Tang Dynasty North India also invaded the territory of Bihar. The Anglo-Indian armies also maintained their usual characteristics, and seemed to have implemented the policy of fighting and defending well before the war, but as soon as they fought, they were easily routed.
Even on occasions like Indians beating Indians, it's basically the same. The first confrontation between the Tang Indian Army and the Anglo-Indian Army was on the banks of the Gogra River, and a vanguard of the Tang Indian Army encountered the Anglo-Indian Army, which was relatively small in size and a regiment, but had a certain advantage in equipment. The Anglo-Indian army numbered about 3,000 men, and was a brigade of disproportionate.
The commander of the Tang Army in this battle was a Chinese officer, and in fact, most of the middle and high-level commanders of the Tang and Indian Army were Chinese. Immediately after identifying the enemy's situation, he asked his troops to halt their advance and hold on. The Anglo-Indian army hesitated for a while after discovering the Tang army, and only launched an attack after feeling that there seemed to be no problem.
The Tang and Indian armies first suppressed the attacking British and Indian troops with their light artillery, and then took advantage of the advantage of more automatic firepower to firmly jam the British and Indian troops. At this time, the Tang Indian army launched a counteroffensive instead, which caught the British and Indian troops by surprise and caused their attrition rate to appear by 30%.
The next day, the Tang attack aircraft bombed the British and Indian army, and as a result, this army actually escaped from the battle, completely ceding the defense line in the west of Bihar to the Tang people.
Two days later, the Tang army broke through Batna, the capital of Bihar, and the Tang army killed from Donghui cooperated with the Tang Indian army to purge the British forces in the Bihar area.
The war in Northeast India only lasted for more than 40 days, ending in a quiet victory for the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty's control over these British colonies is still very poor for the time being, it has basically completely eradicated the British military power and effectively controlled this area.
On the South Indian colonial side, the Don Army also launched a new offensive in early March. There were more than 60,000 regular British troops from Britain, and the rest of the Anglo-Indian troops numbered close to 200,000, but this number was relatively large, because the British did not have all the weapons and equipment for these British and Indian troops. In fact, the 60,000 British troops themselves have relatively few heavy weapons, because the British and the Tang Dynasty have different ideas for developing colonies, and they believe in liberalism and privatization more, so in the South Indian Overseas Territory, unlike the Tang Donghui and the North Indian Overseas Territory, which have had relatively significant development in recent years, the construction of roads and other infrastructure is relatively poor, so there are some difficulties in both logistics and troop transfer. In addition, South India is thousands of miles away from Britain, and the oceans of this planet are basically under the full control of the Tang Dynasty, so it is difficult for the British to send weapons and equipment to South India.
At this time, British merchant ships had been completely banned from leaving the port, and once discovered, they would be intercepted and taken away, and those who tried to escape were directly sunk.
So from the beginning of the war to the present, South India has not received a single shot or ammunition from the British mainland, and there is not much industrial capacity here, let alone the ability to make tanks and aircraft, and even the ability to manufacture rifles and artillery is basically not available. So the pressure on the local British army is still very high.
It was at this time that major changes took place in the political scene in the UK. Because of the defeat at Jutland and the Battle of Britain, as well as the subsequent incompetence in handling the affairs of the state, the British cabinet finally collapsed. George III is now mentally ill and can no longer take care of things, and basically relies on the cabinet to run on its own. And the incompetence of the cabinet has finally caused discontent in parliament.
Eventually, William Jr., who was ousted ten years ago? Pitt is back on stage. In the other plane, this talented politician died young, but in this plane, due to the extensive influence of Datang medical technology in Europe, although his health is still not good, but William Jr.? Pete lived an extra decade and is still active in politics.
And William Jr.? As soon as Pitt came to power, the first thought he put forward was to stop this damn war.
Many Britons don't want to admit it out of pride, but most of them also understand a truth in their hearts, that is, the EU can't beat Datang. The so-called unity of the EU is nothing more than a joke, these European countries thought that when Datang came over, everyone would turn against it and deal with Datang together. Now they actually did the same, but Datang didn't feel the pressure of one person to deal with more than a dozen people. Europe has prepared an army of one million, but now it is impossible to even assemble and pull out, and all military activities that move will inevitably be bombed by the Tang Dynasty, and the industrial facilities of major European countries have been almost bombed, and the living standards of the people have also dropped seriously.
Taking the United Kingdom as an example, more than seventy percent of the British industry is no longer a problem of understarting, but simply unable to start. Britain was deprived of resources, its own coal mines were bombed, and oil wells in Scotland were bombed. British workers, who had no work and were already working more than 15 hours a day, could no longer afford food and had to rely on the limited food supply provided by the government. The food distributed in London has now been reduced to 250 grams of bread and 20 grams of dried meat per person per day. The rich flocked to the countryside to build underground shelters, while the poor were starving and cold in the cold, damp Atlantic westerly winds.
France and Germany, which are more agriculturally advanced, may still be able to survive, and even Poland may be fine, because they have a large agricultural population and are self-sufficient, while Britain has been very small in agriculture since the Industrial Revolution and is heavily dependent on the outside world. Coupled with the large population, the food crisis has arrived.
To add insult to injury, the British were looting Irish food, and the Irish were already seriously dissatisfied. After the Tang Navy has gradually phased the route between the British Island and the island of Ireland, there have been voices for independence in Ireland.
William Jr.? Pitt knows that his political career has been bumpy and not even much to achieve, and he no longer cares about personal statements, but the important thing is that the United Kingdom can continue to exist. (To be continued.) )
