Nehru's lifesaver turned into a pile of tattered scrap metal in the Thar Desert, and the results they achieved were only traces of a few shell hits on the body of the Leopard tanks, and even the speed of the Fifth Army's advance was not affected in any way.

The 6th Armored Brigade, which had destroyed all the Tianzhu tanks, immediately mounted the heavy trailers waiting for them, quickly joined the main force under the escort of hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles, and then continued to advance towards New Delhi.

At this time, New Delhi has turned into a state where almost all the people are soldiers.

The temple elders, mobilized by Nehru himself, helped him to boost the morale of the believers, and the arsenals were opened one after another, from the latest AK47s to the old Lee Enfeld.

On every street in New Delhi, there are trucks full of guns, handing out weapons to the Tianzhu people who have come to volunteer to defend their homeland, and looking at the Tianzhu warriors with rifles in hand and waiting to meet the invaders with a resolute face, Nehru even has a smile of relief on his face, as if he saw the city turned into Stalingrad in World War II and turned into a tomb for the Ming army.

Little did he know, however, that he and his successors would have to spend almost their entire lives rubbing their shares for this impulse.

Night falls.

The Ming army reached Powani, less than a hundred kilometers from New Delhi.

In one day, they crossed 200 kilometers of desert, during which they completely annihilated a tank regiment of the Tianzhu Army, routed and captured two infantry divisions, and created a real myth in the history of warfare.

But the myth is not dominated by the Leopard tanks, but by the heavy trucks that pull the Leopard tanks off-road in the desert, without which the myth would not have been possible.

Just when all the tank units were transferred to rest, tens of thousands of maintenance personnel accompanied them to provide support. All tanks and combat vehicles are still being overhauled, and they are another important player in this myth, both they and those heavy trucks, which are actually more important than the combat units in this operation.

In addition to the maintenance staff, there are others who are also busy, clearing enough open land in the east of Poigni. Navigation lights were then set up on the ground, while a large number of heavy trucks loaded with fuel and ammunition surrounded it, and a mechanized infantry brigade set up a circular position around it, including a large number of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

While these tasks were in progress, there was a dense slight crackling sound in the sky, followed by a high-speed moving signal light that began to drop in altitude, and soon a large number of helicopters appeared in people's field of vision.

Cobra gunship.

Of course, it's not just the Cobra, including the transport-type Pixiu and the armed Pixiu, which are the standard configuration of the Ming Army's mechanized infantry brigade. It's just that the range is limited and the raid is relatively long, so it can't take off from the rear airfield of the Pakistani army to accompany the operation, but there is no need to think about this problem with such a field airfield.

In particular, the 36 latest Cobra gunships will prove their toughness to the world with the blood of the Tianzhu people in the next battle of New Delhi.

Thus, when the sun rose the next day, the small city had become a support point for the assault on New Delhi, and the Fifth Army remained with a mechanized infantry brigade, waiting to follow them. A Pakistani armored brigade and an infantry corps traversed the Thar Desert at normal speeds, while Yang Yan led three armored brigades and three mechanized infantry brigades. Leaving behind those trucks and logistics personnel, they went straight to New Delhi in three ways.

But it was not his armored forces that first appeared on the battlefield.

It's the Air Force.

Hundreds of fighter attack planes and bombers of the Minba Air Force that took off from Pakistan first began to attack New Delhi, and their main targets were those air defense positions and artillery positions, these killing machines that came with death. Bombs and napalm bombs were constantly dropped on all the heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns that could be seen, and even those propeller fighters fired directly at the ground at low altitudes, and the whole of New Delhi was in flames.

This round of bombing did not only inflict heavy damage on the air defense forces of New Delhi. He also poured cold water on Nehru, who was counting on victory in a Stalingrad-style bloody war.

Because just after the bombing ended, he found that the Tianzhu warriors he had just recruited had run away by at least a third, and they were not just running away, they were all running away with the guns and ammunition issued to them.

"Hmph, a rabble!"

Yang Yan, who was acting with the Sixth Armored Brigade in the middle lane, looked at the information he had just received and sneered.

The information was to tell him that Nehru was preparing to rely on the power of the people to make him the next Paulus in New Delhi, but it was clear that he did not take the militia, which was said to be in the hundreds of thousands, in mind.

Of course, his contempt was not unreasonable, for at this very moment there was a group of such militia in front of him being dispersed like a duck.

There were about 5,000 Tianzhu militia in total, outside this small city called Chegel, armed with old-fashioned Lienfield rifles and Vickers water-cooled machine guns, ready to heroically block them, but the 6th Armored Brigade did not go up, and the hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade accompanying them easily crushed the illusions of the Tianzhu people, and now those infantry fighting vehicles are like wolves, crushing in the middle of the routed Tianzhu people.

"Go ahead, don't get tangled with them, tell them to surrender immediately, or call in bombers and raze the city with super bombs."

Yang Yan said.

The so-called super bomb is the cloud bao bomb, at present, the Ming army has been equipped with the latest, that is, the famous BLU82, but firstly, there is no suitable carrier aircraft can only be thrown by transport aircraft, and secondly, this thing is too ferocious and easy to affect the international image of Yang Yuan, so it has not been used on the Tianzhu battlefield so far.

However, because of the rendering of radio newspapers and word of mouth, the cloud bao bomb has become a weapon of the Ming army's strategic deterrent level, and the shadow of terror is pressed on the heads of all Tianzhu people.

So when Yang Yan's threat was issued, the Tianzhu militiamen who had already hidden in the city and were ready to stop him with street battles immediately ran out and disarmed without hesitation.

Their families are all in the city.

After clearing this small obstacle, the Ming armoured group continued to advance, and this was the only real resistance encountered by the Ming army in the middle of the attack on New Delhi, and the losses inflicted on them were nothing more than the destruction of three infantry fighting vehicles by Molotov cocktails.

At noon, the 6th Armored Brigade in the center reached the outskirts of New Delhi, and the battle for New Delhi officially began.

"Fire!"

With his back to New Delhi and a smiling and memorable photo, Yang then gave the order to destroy the city.

And the execution of his order, is thirty-six tulips, in the huge sound of discharge, thirty-six 130 kilogram shells whistled out, like meteors smashed towards New Delhi, smashed into the capital of Tianzhu, and this is also the first time that the Ming army attacked the capital of a real country, Aceh does not count, except for the Acehnese themselves, no other country recognizes them.

But New Delhi is different.

"Keep shelling, bombard it for an hour before attacking, there's no need to be in a hurry, isn't Nehru going to turn New Delhi into a second Stalingrad? Then fulfill his wish, and tell the 7th and 9th Armored Brigades to prohibit the entry of armored troops until a part of the city is completely flattened. ”

Looking at the thirty-six pillars of smoke rising in the distance, Yang Yan said to the chief of staff beside him with great satisfaction.

The two brigades attacked from the northern and southern fronts respectively, the 7th Armored Brigade and 1 Mechanized Infantry Brigade were attacking the northern part of New Delhi after easily capturing Rotak, and the 9th Armored Brigade and 1 Mechanized Infantry Brigade were fighting fiercely with the militia guarding there in the southern city of Gurgaon at this time, because the militia defending there was organized by the Tianzhu Social Labor Party and still had some will to fight.

As for Yang Yan, here......

He is really not in a hurry, the main force of less than 200,000 Tianzhu troops on the northern front, on the defense line of the Bias River 300 kilometers away, is struggling to resist the attack of more than 300,000 Pakistani troops, and their end is already doomed, because their supplies have been cut off. The significance of attacking New Delhi is not only to take the capital of the country, but also to be the two theaters of Punjab and Kashmir, the general logistics base of hundreds of thousands of Tianzhu troops, otherwise Nehru would not have so many weapons to arm the militia.

But now, there will not be a single shell sent here for the Tianzhu army.

Yang Feng and his generals, of course, would not be stupid enough to let the armored clusters fight urban street battles, especially the latest tanks, as long as the Ming army encircles New Delhi, this raid will be considered a victory, as for the siege ......

Play slowly, the victory is decided anyway.

As long as the Tianzhu army defense line in Punjab is opened, it will not be a few days before 300,000 Pakistani troops will appear in the city.

The Tianzhu army on the southern line is basically piled up north of Amomudaba, which is more than 700 kilometers away from New Delhi, even if there are trains, it will take a few days to return to help, not to mention that the railways along the line have always been the main bombing targets, and now at least hundreds of bombers are waiting for Jaipur as a railway hub, and the Tianzhu army on the southern line wants to go to New Delhi, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month later.

That would have to be if the Pakistan of the Amudaba let them go.

Since this is the case, what is there to be anxious about, fight slowly, Yang Yuanfeng often mentions the face of the order to educate them, urban street fighting can be avoided, even if it cannot be avoided, the city must be flattened first and then street fighting.

"Also, order the Air Force to prepare a super bomb, maybe you have to leave a souvenir for the Tianzhu people."

Then he added. (To be continued.) )
