Chapter 314: Another Falls
Nehru, who was completely desperate for foreign aid, could only grit his teeth and stand up and do his best to defend Mumbai.
He even began to shrink his lines in Kashmir and the Assam theater, especially Kashmir, where the cold climate of the plateaus was not suitable for large-scale operations in winter, allowing him to squeeze out an army to move south, which, together with the forces squeezed out of the Punjab front, eventually cobbled together an army group to attack Amudaba from the north.
The troops drawn from Madras and Thiruvananthapuram cobbled together an army group to reinforce Bombay from the south to the north, but because the southern railway system was constantly and accurately bombed by Ming carrier-based aircraft, this support army marched slowly, and it was difficult to quickly enter the battlefield in a short time.
The Tianzhu Army is different from the Mingba Coalition Army, the latter has a strong road transport capacity, and countless off-road trucks ensure that even if there is no railway, the coalition army can also ensure sufficient maneuverability, but the Tianzhu Army has trucks, in fact, they have also obtained a large number of M35 trucks through various channels, as well as those purchased from the Soviet Union and the United States, and also have a certain road transport capacity.
But alas, they don't have fuel.
Previously, the vast majority of Tianzhu's oil actually came from the Assam oil field, Yang Feng robbed their oil field, and then sold the oil to them, but even so, the Tianzhu people had to buy it, anyway, they didn't buy Assam, they could only buy the Middle East.
Because of the distance and transportation system, the former is cheaper than oil in the Middle East, after all, they have a railway network and an inland water transport network, but after the war, Assam will definitely not give them another drop of oil.
As for the oil in the Middle East, because of the British blockade of Persia. And Najd hindered Jinnah's face. So the supply was also stopped. After all, they are Sunni brothers, and the only thing they can provide them with is only Soviet merchant ships, but now the Soviet oil is also tight, Baku's production capacity is shrinking, the second Baku is still under development, and the third Baku has not yet been discovered, and the Soviet Union at this time is far from the era of oil hegemony.
Now Tianzhu. Not to mention cars, even tanks are tight on fuel.
Of course, no matter what, this battle still has to be fought.
However, the hope of victory was indeed very slim, and the number of Pakistani troops landing soon increased to two army groups, and a front-line airfield was quickly built on the Katiawa Peninsula to act as an aircraft carrier for the aircraft carrier Dreadworthy, followed by a large number of Ming fighters. So that the Ming army's land-based fighters were also enough to cover the entire Mumbai battlefield.
Fortunately, with the large-scale landing of the Pakistani army, the Ming Fifth Army withdrew from the front line. Although their losses in the early stages of combat are not worth mentioning, the soldiers also need to rest, and the tanks need to be repaired, including digging out the soil again that were originally discarded. Therefore, the Fifth Army withdrew to the rear, and the front-line operations were mainly carried out by the Pakistani Army, and in fact, the operation south of Mumbai was not suitable for armored clusters, because the Western Ghats ran through the western part of the peninsula, so this area was full of horizontal rivers.
But Nehru did not know that the withdrawal of the Fifth Army from the front line was only to recharge his energy for another big plan against him.
Generally speaking, Mumbai will not fall too soon, at this time the Pakistani forward has just taken Surat, which is still 200 kilometers away from Mumbai, although the Tianzhu army is retreating step by step, but there is no major collapse, and it still maintains a step by step block. After all, the Pakistani army is not a Ming army, and the Tianzhu people have no fear of them, if it were not for the two battleships of Huaxia Yanhuang shelling on the flank, they may not be able to stop the Pakistani army, but these two battleships are too ferocious, and the maximum range of more than 30 kilometers has completely turned the depth of more than 20 kilometers along the coast into the hell of the Tianzhu people.
"Don't be in a hurry, fight slowly, virtual and real."
Yang said proudly.
His real goal was to penetrate New Delhi, and the withdrawal of the Fifth Army from the battlefield was prepared for this, including the reinforcement of troops on the Pakistani front.
This is the plan of him and Jinnah, to attack Bombay to force Nehru to weaken the forces on the northern front to the maximum, and then the Fifth Army will raid New Delhi to completely end the war in the subcontinent, and he wants to leave an unforgettable memory for the Tianzhu people, to ensure that they will not dare to resist again for at least ten or even twenty years in the future, and honestly lie under the stick of the Führer.
After this time, Yang Feng is not ready to engage them again, after all, Tianzhu is also a big market, as long as the door to the dumping of Daming industrial products is opened, being a vampire happily is the best life, and it is too good to always fight and kill.
And the subcontinent must also maintain the balance of power, Nehru is not strong, Jinnah is too strong, help Jinnah grab Mumbai, and then everyone will live a good life together in the oil fields, let Nehru hide aside and eat chaff and gnashing his teeth, just like he now looks at the Assamese, so as to ensure that the two families will never live together.
If Jinnah is disobedient one day, then give Nehru some hope and let him have a little more illusion.
He'd be a good dog.
"The Führer's Art of War is unpredictable!"
Li Guangqian, who was beside Yang Feng, lost no time in patting his ass.
"Ha, ha, it's too good, it's too good!"
Yang Fuhrer smiled proudly.
Lao Pan on the other side looked at him speechlessly.
Lao Pan is here to receive the first batch of planes, this kind of thing is like pie in the sky, it is completely dependent on the changes in the international situation to get this batch of planes, of course, it must be the fastest speed, otherwise maybe one day the international situation changes again, Yang Feng will not sell it again, it will be a big loss.
Although this is only a light transport aircraft, it is also of great significance to them, in fact, at this time they are preparing to establish their own aviation industry with the help of the Soviets, but the aviation level of the Soviet Union is not at the same level as Yang Feng, and even Comrade Li understands this. On the battlefield of Goryeo, the MiG-15 pair of sabers is half a pound and eight taels, although it is almost but the gap is limited, but on the battlefield of the subcontinent, whether it is the Kunpeng version of the saber or the remodeled chasing wind, it is all pressed against the MiG-15.
This thing doesn't need to be blown up, the result on the battlefield is the most real.
Through the purchase of this batch of transport aircraft, contact Yang Feng's, it is basically the most advanced aviation technology at present, which is of great significance to them, not to mention that the Hongyan transport aircraft itself is also excellent, compared with it, the Soviets can provide the same level of transport aircraft An-2, it is like an antique pulled out of a museum, the same take-off weight and the same load, the former is not only faster but also has almost twice the range of the latter, especially the latter is a biplane.
The first batch was delivered to them with twenty planes, and the remaining thirty planes were delivered in two batches within half a year, and as for the payment, this is not worth mentioning.
It's really not worth mentioning, the engineers of Huaxia Mining have found a huge rare earth ore from the Bailing Temple area in a very short period of time, and now they are ready to mine, this thing is now the real soil for them, but what Yang Feng gave them is the price according to international standards, that is to say, their soil has become a real dollar.
Just use rare earths to pay for the goods, Comrade Li is very bold now, that is, Yang Feng does not sell fighter jets, otherwise he would even want to buy a few planes.
These planes, piloted by their pilots, flew straight from Yingtian to Siam, and then from Siam back to China, and Yang Feng had already greeted Siam.
"Your Excellency, would you be interested in sitting down with Mousseau?"
Looking at the Hongyan passenger planes that were taking off one after another, Lao Pan asked Yang Feng directly.
"What's the matter, Musseau can't hold on?"
Yang Feng said lightly.
Musuo really can't hold on, although Yang Feng and Hada have always been on the defensive on the battlefield in Java, and even now the two sides have not fought for a long time, but this is more ruthless than fighting!
Musseau had to maintain more than a million troops under his command to ensure that he was evenly matched, of course, in his own opinion, but his total population was only more than 20 million, because the two consecutive wars were all young and middle-aged, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and the women in the rear of the Javanese front were tired like dogs every day, and they could not meet the needs of more than a million troops at the front.
As far as this criminal Nationalist and his lackeys are concerned, they always like to throw a bomb and a solid gasoline bomb or something, and the living standards of the people in the areas occupied by the Red Army in Java before the war were quite good, not much worse than those in the areas controlled by the White Army, but now they are good, and more people die of starvation every day than they die in war.
This battle can't be fought.
If the fight continues, the common people will rebel.
In fact, at this time, they have already appeared on the battlefield to surrender to the enemy, and there are quite a few of them!
Musseau is not stupid, of course he knows that if he continues to fight without an enemy, he will collapse.
Lao Pan didn't speak, it was useless to be stubborn in front of Yang Feng, so it was better to simply admit it.
"Okay, I'll give you face, but if you want to talk about it this time, let's talk about it thoroughly, talk about everything that should be talked about, and make it clear who it should be and who shouldn't be, I don't want to do it with them again in three or five years."
Yang Feng said.
He was not prepared to destroy Musseau, although it was no longer interesting to raise Kou or not to raise Kou, but the existence of this country was extremely useful for him to control the East Indies, and he could continue to use it to scare the Australians. In the future, his main infiltration direction is Australia and the Middle East, but the descendants of those hooligans and criminals are not good at it, and they have a deep relationship with the United States, and they abstained from voting in the United Nations this time.
Since this is the case, it is necessary to put a knife on the top of their heads, keep the musseau, and even give him a little support when necessary, this can be borrowed by Comrade Li's hand, and when necessary, it is also very interesting to push them south and play a small game of driving away the tiger and devouring the wolf.
