Chapter 154: Breaking the City
What is the concept of the bombing of three hundred heavy bombers, more than three hundred fighters?
On April 10, 45, the bombing of Tokyo, which burned to death 40,000 Japanese people, only used more than 300 bombers.
When the four-engine bomber group appeared over the Tianzhu defense line, General Hogg, who was in charge of the command here, knew that he was probably going to sleep here today.
But unfortunately, he was ready to sacrifice his life for the country, and the soldiers under his command, who had just been in the army for less than three months, had no such consciousness at all, and when the dense bombs and coagulated oil bombs fell from the sky, instantly turning the whole world into a sea of fire, the two infantry divisions guarding here completely collapsed, and everyone rushed out of the trenches crying and screaming, and even rushed to the nearest river desperately with flames all over their bodies.
In fact, if they didn't, maybe they would have been better, but how could these soldiers, who had never experienced the test of war at all, still be calm in this situation?
What's more, it's still a Tianzhu person.
General Manekshaw, who was sitting at the headquarters in the city of Calcutta, listened with bitterness to the bad news that kept coming, his city was falling block by block, his elite troops were wailing in the flames of the clotted oil bombs, his defensive line was being broken through one by one, more and more enemy ships were arriving at sea, and then thousands of soldiers were stepping on the land of Tianzhu.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
He looked up to the sky with grief and sighed, and one morning, his sky fell.
But he still has a glimmer of hope, he still has reinforcements.
"General, enemy bombers destroyed the Budwan railway station."
Subordinate officers report.
All right. Reinforcements all the way out.
"General. Enemy airborne forces occupy Naihati. ”
Belch. Reinforcements are gone.
"General, the Kolagat railway bridge was blown up by enemy airborne troops."
……
"War is to be like thunder and lightning, in the shortest possible time, to give the enemy the most ferocious blow, and directly stab him in the heart."
Yang Feng was like a military strategist, standing on the podium of the Army Academy and broadcasting the battle live through the radio station.
He likes to go to schools when he's fine. Then show the students the wisdom of the principal, who is now the president of many other schools, such as the president of Nanyang University, the dean of the three military colleges of the army, the navy and the air force, and the president of the technical school......
All in all, except for middle schools, primary schools, and kindergartens on the island, he basically has all the principals left, and the most outrageous thing is that he also serves as the head of a women's college.
"Headmaster, then next. Should we expand the gains and pursue the victory? What about seizing the whole of West Bengal in one fell swoop? ”
One of the cadets asked with reverence.
Yang Yuantou at this time in the minds of young people, it is all god-like existence, in just a few years to make the Chinese invincible overlord in Southeast Asia, all those chaotic peoples, all trembling in front of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers, who else can do the same thing?
"No, again, every expansion must be limited, we must close our soldiers to avoid getting our soldiers into a ground war over a large area, because that will disperse our forces, that will expose us to too many unknowns, especially guerrilla warfare, our purpose is to bring the enemy to its knees, but to make them submit is not necessarily to occupy their land, let their blood drain, it can also achieve our goal."
Yang Feng said.
Yes, his goal was simple, to turn Calcutta into a bloody place for the Tianzhuans, and to dry the blood of the Tianzhu people with this city that Nehru could not lose under any circumstances.
Just as he was saying this, the beautiful bodyguard who had been standing behind him with an expressionless face suddenly lowered her head and said a few words in his ear, and Yang Feng's face immediately showed a strange smile.
"Okay, classmates, class is over, today I have a treat, please eat elephant meat."
Then he said.
And at this time, the phlebotomy plan he had designed had already begun.
The two Tianzhu fighter groups that took off from the nearest airfield were the first to reach Kolkata, but by this time, the bombardment had basically ended, the ground defense line had been completely broken, and the coalition army, which had been increased to two Ming brigades and a Pakistani division, was entering the city of Calcutta and fighting the remnants of General Manekshaw, and Li Jun's mechanized infantry corps was also cleaning the huge city with the cooperation of Muslims.
The Tianzhu Air Force, which came with anger, did not hesitate at all, and directly pounced on the coalition aircraft group in the sky.
A chaotic big air battle began.
The Tianzhu fighters, who were inferior in numbers, fought hard in the sky, and were shot down by the Ming army, but they were soon wiped out.
"Jet fighters!"
Frightened shouts rang out over their respective radio stations, and in the sky above them, small planes with no propellers and extremely unique shapes were swooping down fiercely.
Bloodsucker.
This most classic early jet fighter, although it looks lethal, but has terrifying firepower, it has four 20 mm machine guns, all mounted under the nose, with the dive, a vampire spewed flames, under the whipping of tracer bullets, more than a dozen Tianzhu Air Force Lajiu and Yak Jiu have turned into a ball of fire, and then the vampires who completed the first round of attacks began to target the next group of enemies.
The wild horses and milk bottles in the original battle re-targeted the remnants of the Tianzhu army on the ground.
The sky became a vampire arena.
The rest of the Tianzhu pilots, desperately fighting with these funny-looking small planes, fighting speed, no, everyone is running nine hundred, only more than six hundred how to fight, fighting climbing, directly not a level, fighting height, or people occupy an overwhelming advantage, fighting firepower, four machine guns, the only thing that can fight is mobility, Ke Nima, this kind of plywood guy mobility and Spitfire a grade, only see the Tianzhu fighter in the sky keep falling.
"Mah, these buggies are so vicious?"
On a street in Kolkata, Li Jun looked up at a black smoke falling Jacques Nine in the sky, and couldn't help but say with emotion.
Well, the vampire fighter is in the Ming Army, and it has also received its nickname in its original history.
After saying this, an exclamation suddenly sounded next to Li Jun: "Tank! ”
Just in front of them, behind a piece of debris that had been blown up, a T34 tank was slowly driving out, turning its turret to point its eight-and-five-millimeter muzzle at the infantry fighting vehicle next to it.
"Fire!"
Almost at the same time, with the roar of the commander standing on the turret of the infantry fighting vehicle, the muzzle of the seven-three-millimeter low-bore pressure gun first spewed flames, and a flash of fire roared out, instantly hitting the side of the T34, and then the fire of the explosion shone, and flames suddenly appeared in the turret of the T34, and then with a huge explosion, the entire turret flew into the sky.
A Tianzhu infantry commander who accompanied the attack turned his head and looked at this scene in amazement, with a completely ghostly expression.
It is true that this result is not easy for the average person to accept.
Yang Feng's infantry fighting vehicles, up to now, have been used for almost three years, and even sold a lot, for the outside world has long lost the sense of mystery, everyone knows that this is a thin-skinned meat bun, casually with an anti-tank gun can be penetrated, the Javanese have broken more than a dozen on the battlefield. As for the 73 gun, it was not called a cannon at all, but just a rocket-booster grenade with a small charge and gave it a direction, and people had to rely on the rocket engine to fly by itself.
But it's just such a thing, killing the T34 with one shot, this is too exaggerated, right?
"Hmph, T34 is nothing more than that."
Li Jun said with a proud sneer.
Well, if it was on the plain, T34 would abuse him like a dog, but in this street fighting environment, he would abuse T34 as a dog, this environment is about who turns the turret faster, the T34 turret is several times larger than the small turret of the infantry fighting vehicle, and the weight is not a level at all, if you can turn the infantry fighting vehicle, it would be strange!
As for the seven-three-mm tail stabilized rocket extended-range armor-piercing projectile, in addition to the short range, the accuracy is almost there, and the simple armor-piercing ability is enough to deal with a tank of this class, but all the flaws were covered up in street battles, but the T34 fell behind.
At this time, in other battlefields in the city of Calcutta, the same scene was also staged, and the T34 that the infantry fighting vehicle suddenly encountered, because the turret rotation speed was far inferior to the latter, except for one place because the infantry fighting vehicle missed, so it was killed by the T34 with one shot, the other T34s were not spared, all of them were destroyed by the infantry fighting vehicle, which made Manekshaw feel like he was in tears.
In fact, by this time, he was already very clear that Calcutta could not be held, and not only these infantry fighting vehicles, but even the Sherman tanks of the Ming landing force had already driven into the city, although there were still many Tianzhu troops resisting in Calcutta, but as more and more infantry from the other side landed, it was only a matter of time before it fell.
What's more, more and more Muslims are joining the ranks of the Bao rebellion, and even not only Muslims, but also Sikhs, and even the Tianzhu Christians themselves, are enjoying the carnival of this war, and the whole of Kolkata is completely slaughtered, except for Chinatown, no one dares to enter, and even a large number of whites have been looted by the Bao gangs.
The city is finished.
But he was really unwilling, unwilling to admit the result of defeat, one morning, his two divisions, an armored brigade, and more than a hundred fighters and bombers were defeated so inexplicably, and they were defeated so completely!
"General, New Delhi telegram, asks us to hold out at least..."
The officer beside him looked at the numbers on the telegram again, and said gloomily: "Hold on for twenty-four hours." ”
"You call General Timaia back, and I'll fight until the last moment."
Mark Shawnet said expressionlessly. (To be continued......)
