Chapter 137 Politicians don't have good things
The air battle at the foot of the Himalayas was as if it had never happened, without any publicity, and the Ming Empire government and the Tianzhu government both tacitly denied that the two sides had fought in the air.
This is also the rule of the game.
The Tianzhu people were ashamed to admit such a defeat, and they could not explain why the Tianzhu Air Force ran to Assam, and Yang Feng was not interested in wasting his lips and tongues on this, if the propaganda was opened, Nehru would be forced to the end of the road. In the final analysis, the Ming Air Force in Assam is only two groups of fighters, even if you add the Dreadnought aircraft carrier, it is only evenly matched, and those Tianzhu pilots who have experienced the war and their Storm fighters are not easy to deal with, and it is inevitable that they will lose their lives.
He didn't want to lose too much to protect Assam.
But General Timaiya, who had lost air cover, had to bear the consequences of this air battle, and Nehru, who had lost 17 fighters and 17 excellent pilots, was not ready to continue sending fighters into Assam.
He can't afford to lose.
These fighters and pilots are his treasures, they are the founders of the Tianzhu Air Force, and any loss is painful, not to mention the loss of nearly one-sixth of the Tianzhu Air Force.
And the result of the battle also made him lose his courage.
Seventeen to zero.
The loss of seventeen of the best pilots and the most advanced fighters, in exchange for zero results, such a battle is too bizarre.
What's more, there is an even more important enemy beside him.
Pakistan.
The Pakistani Army on the Kashmir border is already massing, and the Air Force is also present at front-line airfields.
"We tried to reach out and pick an apple that hung down to the top of our head, but we ended up holding a poisonous snake!"
Outside the city of Gohati, General Timaiya looked at the position that had just been bombed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Having lost air cover, he had to stop his attack under hundreds of fighter-bombers, despite quickly breaking down the weak Assamese lines with his armored forces and reaching the city of Gohati.
Although because of the staggered battle lines of the two sides, the Ming Air Force did not use DU air bombs or SHU bombs, but even the indiscriminate bombardment of ordinary bombs was enough for him, and he led a total of less than 20,000 people, and this was just the beginning of the ground battle, and there were less than 17,000 people left.
In fact, he also knew that even without aerial bombardment, it would be difficult for him to take Gohati before the Ming reinforcements arrived, although in front of him was only a group of airborne troops with no tanks and no heavy artillery.
But the airborne troops of the Ming army are not easy to mess with.
Overhead, a piercing whistling sound swept through the sky fiercely, and in the blink of an eye one of his positions was engulfed by the fire of the explosion of the shells, as if it had been bombarded by a heavy artillery regiment, but in reality, it was the fire of an artillery battery.
It's nothing more than a rocket artillery battery.
The artillery bombardment also exposed the position of the Ming army's rocket artillery, and on a well-hidden Tianzhu artillery position, twelve 25-pounder guns quickly began to adjust their coordinates, followed by a test firing of a cannonball, and the shells flew out with a whistling whistle, and the artillery observers who had already infiltrated began to confirm the landing point and report the new coordinates.
But at this moment, a dozen wild horses suddenly emerged from the clouds overhead.
Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground immediately opened fire.
Almost at the same time, flames erupted from the bellies of these wild horses, and then the entire artillery position was engulfed in the flames and smoke of the explosion.
This is an aviation rocket.
However, it was not the original wing-mounted guide rail version of the Mustang, but a five-seven-millimeter aviation rocket fired from the three-two combined rocket launch nests on both wings, with one Mustang firing sixty-four, and fifteen Mustang firing nearly 1,000 rockets at the artillery position of the Tianzhu people in an instant. Although the power of five or seven millimeters was weak, it was enough to deal with almost unprotected artillery, twelve twenty-five pounds, or about eight or eight guns, and in an instant, along with the surrounding artillery, was completely wiped out, and General Timaiya's heart was about to break.
But he was helpless, the fighters and bombers of the Ming army were always hovering over the battlefield, not to mention his artillery fire, even the machine gun fire points on the ground, and he had to always pay attention to the bullets fired from the sky.
"General, New Delhi Telegraph."
Just then, a staff officer handed him a telegram.
The contents of the telegram made his eyelids skip a beat.
"Politics, that's politics."
He said with a wry smile.
And at this time, in the headquarters in Gohati City, Han Xu was also looking at a telegram with the same content in his hand.
"Politicians don't have a good thing."
He said with a sneer.
When the enemy's supreme commander is your internal commander, what secrets can they have? The Tianzhu people used the Britons' cipher machine, and Lord Mountbatten would not leak such a state-level secret to Yang Feng, but he could intercept Nehru's telegrams from the front line, and then forward the contents to Yang Feng.
And the telegram that Nehru had just sent to Timaiya was very simple, asking him to push the tribal forces that followed the soy sauce to the front as cannon fodder, and use the latter's numerical superiority to use the sea of people to break through the defense lines of the Ming army and the Assam army. Although some of those tribal forces ran away, there were still more than 50,000 people who came with them, and General Timaiya was far away because he disdained to cooperate with them, and he was bored at this time to plague the surrounding people!
Of course, the main reason is that his army is theoretically here to suppress bandits, and he can't attack the city with the bandits in a grand manner, so why should he be ashamed?
These guys are extremely poor in combat, but their sheer numbers are indeed the best weapons.
Of course, the conditions are also very simple, after taking Gohati, they can ransack for two days at will.
Otherwise, they would not have had the courage to charge.
"Looks like we're going to need a tough fight."
Han Xu's chief of staff, former Prussian Army Colonel Milson, said.
"It's just a big deal, it's a big deal to shoot out all the ten tons of shabalin shells."
Han Xu said indifferently.
Well, he actually has a shalin du air bomb, but at this time, the Ming army generals have cultivated a sense of honor as a soldier, and they have departed from their Führer's low-level interest in washing the ground with shalin bombs, this style is currently only maintained by the Air Force, mainly those pilots never look at the miserable scene after they drop the dui air bomb.
"Brigadier, Führer telegram."
A staff officer immediately handed him the decision on how to deal with Yang Yuan.
"This little thing even alarmed the capital of the Yuan? The Führer isn't worried that we won't be able to keep Gohati, right? ”
Han Xu said with a smile, then took the telegram casually, and then his eyes almost popped out.
