Chapter 1427: The End
Mumbai, where the Indian uprising first broke out, has become the center of the Indian uprising. However, the situation in Mumbai is not good now. Before the uprising was high, the whole of western and central India fell under the control of the rebel army, and the shape of shì was very good. But then, the Imperial Army and Imperial Cavalry entered India to quell the rebellion, which made the situation in India take a turn for the worse. The Indian uprising also quickly changed from a high to a low point. The previous qiē seems to have passed by.
The current Indian uprising is indeed about to enter its final period. Toby and Kunwal. Singh led the rebels east into Hyderabad, but suffered a crushing defeat. The Indian rebels began to suffer defeats. Subsequently, head north to Buckde. The rebel army led by Khan and Queen Chhansi was also wiped out by the Chinese* army under great circumstances. Delhi fell, and the Queen of Jhansi was killed in battle. Immediately after Buckard. The rebel army led by Khan was annihilated, and Bhakd. Khan was nowhere to be found.
It can be said that the main forces of the Indian insurgent army have been wiped out. Moreover, a large number of Chinese* troops and Indian Turkish troops are gathering towards Mumbai. In the sea near Mumbai, warships of the Chinese Navy appeared. It was as if the whole of Mumbai had fallen into the net of the Chinese.
"Damn the Chinese, they actually slaughtered so many rebel soldiers!" Kunwal. Singer's face was hateful. In his opinion, if it were not for the intervention of the Chinese, it is estimated that they would have laid down the whole of India! Of course, how could the Chinese not meddle? China has huge interests in India, and the Chinese emperor also serves as the emperor of India. How can we sit idly by and watch India continue to be in chaos?
"What do we do now? According to the information we have received, there are as many as 200,000 Chinese* troops approaching Mumbai. Besides. There are also hundreds of thousands of Indian Turkish troops. And now in Mumbai, there are only a few hundred thousand rebels. "Tandia. Toby was a little anxious. Though. In terms of troops, the Indian rebels do not seem to be at a disadvantage. However, previous battles have proven that the Indian rebel army is no match for the Chinese army at all, and even the Indian Turkish army cannot defeat it. To defeat the Chinese Army and the Indian Turkish Army with equal strength is simply another joke. It can be seen how low the combat effectiveness of the Indian rebel army is.
"Mr. Mackenson, do you have any good ideas? Now we need the help of our German friends. Otherwise. We will be able to hold out for a month at most. Perhaps in less than a month, the Chinese and those Indian Turkish troops will occupy Mumbai, and those of us may not escape death at that time. "Kunwal. Singh looked at Mackensen, an intelligence agent from Germany, with a look of hope. The reason why they launched the Indian uprising in advance was because they were bewitched by the Germans. In the beginning, it was really good. However, it was not long before the shape changed and became very unfavorable to the Indian rebels. Everyone knows that if no miracle happens. The Indian uprising should have been a complete failure.
Mackensen frowned, in fact, he was really at a loss now. The Indian uprising has only been around for a little over a month, and it has quickly turned from victory to defeat. The time for transformation is so fast. It was completely beyond his expectations. Originally, he and the Germans were counting on the Indian uprising to last for two or three years. In this way, it can undoubtedly contain a considerable part of the energy of the Chinese. This is very advantageous for Germany. But. It was only a little over a month before the Indian uprising was about to fail. This is for the Chinese. The impact is negligible! From this point of view, Germany's approach of detonating the pawn of the Indian uprising now is undoubtedly wrong.
"Gentlemen, the Chinese are about to attack Mumbai, and what you have to do is to hold Mumbai as much as possible. As for support, there is no other way to succeed than to provide you with diplomatic support. After all, the Chinese navy has blocked the waters near Mumbai, and ships of any country cannot enter Mumbai, so they cannot provide support to you. However, if you can keep going, maybe things will change! Mackensen said. This is the only way he can comfort the leaders of these rebels. In fact, he already knew that the defeat of the Indian rebels was inevitable, and perhaps, defeat was imminent.
Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. The two Singers were very depressed, and they were very disappointed with Mackensen's reply. In their view, it was clear that the Germans were taking advantage of them. Now, they were going to fail, and the Germans withdrew.
But there is no way, Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. Singh could only lead the rebels to continue the resistance, otherwise they would be killed. They knew that neither the Chinese nor the nobles of the Indian princely states would tolerate their existence.
On August 9, 1862, the 11th Squadron of the Imperial Navy gathered four battleships and more than a dozen other warships to launch a cannon attack on Mumbai, and the heavy artillery fire almost reduced Mumbai to ruins. Large-caliber high-explosive shells can inflict a devastating blow on the city. If a 343-mm high-explosive bomb explodes, buildings within 100 meters in diameter are often destroyed.
Outside the city of Mumbai, the four infantry corps of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army and hundreds of thousands of Indian Turkish troops had already gathered here. After the naval bombardment was over, it was they who launched an attack on the rebels in the city. However, both the Imperial Army and the Indo-Turkish Army are very optimistic about the next battle. They were very suspicious that after the heavy bombardment of the Imperial Navy, how many Indian rebels in the city of Mumbai would survive, and it was estimated that they would probably have cleaned up the battlefield in that battle!
The heavy shelling of the 11th detachment of the Imperial Navy lasted a full half a day. When the shelling was over, the whole of Mumbai was in ruins. The Indian rebels stationed in the fortified city suffered heavy losses in the shelling. At the same time, it also made these Indian rebels almost lose their fighting spirit. Such a heavy shelling was simply not something they could have imagined, and it was also a devastating blow to their fighting spirit.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army entered the city of Bombay, and they met with little decent resistance. The Indian rebels, as soon as the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army, immediately chose to surrender. So much so that by the time of nightfall, the whole of Mumbai had fallen under the control of the Imperial Army and the Indian Turkish Army.
However, the leader of the Indian rebel army, Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. Singh and the others were nowhere to be found. Some say they absconded, others say they were killed in the shelling. It doesn't matter anymore, though.
After the end of the Bombai War, the Indian uprising was a complete failure. Even though there are still a number of rebels scattered throughout India, they are still raising a wave of resistance. But overall, it's insignificant. The Imperial Cavalry would remain in India for a while longer, assisting the Indian Turks in their efforts to clear out the rebels. At the same time, after this uprising, the princely states of India also strengthened the construction of the Turkish army. They were fully aware that if they had a strong native army, the lowly mob would not dare to rebel against their rule. Even if they had started another uprising, it would have been quickly extinguished.
After the Indian princely states strengthened their Turkish armies, an Indian uprising became more unlikely. This has led to a gradual shift in the situation in India to a plateau. Although the life of Indians is even more impoverished, almost no one dares to continue to resist. After all, that means dying.
Emperor Long Yufei was very satisfied that he was able to extinguish the Indian uprising in two months. Originally, he also expected that the Indian uprising would last a year or more. Who would know that after the imperial army entered India and began to suppress the uprising, the Indian rebel army would be wiped out so easily.
"Your Majesty, my lords. According to the information sent back from the Indian front, the main forces of the Indian insurgent army have been annihilated. Although there are still sporadic small rebel armies operating all over India, they are no longer harmless. The Imperial cavalry will continue to purge the remnants of these rebels, and the Indian princely states will intensify their purging efforts. On the whole, the matter of the Indian uprising can be regarded as a satisfactory settlement! Marshal Luo Hongtao, director of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, said with a smile. The outbreak of uprisings in India and South Africa put him under tremendous pressure. At one point, he wanted to resign, taking responsibility for this mistake. However, a big war is imminent, and this war is a matter of great importance, and there can be no negligence. Therefore, Long Yufei kept it again and again. This led Marshal Luo Hongtao to agree to continue as director of the Military Intelligence Agency and wait until the end of the war with Germany before stepping down.
"Yes! Now it seems that India's rebel army is simply a bunch of chickens and dogs, and the rebel army, which claims to be millions of people, was wiped out so easily. It was beyond my expectations! Long Yufei said with a smile. The Indian uprising was quickly extinguished, which was not a huge loss for India and the empire. Even the rearmament of the empire did not have any effect. The Empire's preparations are still proceeding according to the predetermined process. This made the military and the cabinet very satisfied.
"Indians are not suitable for rebellion at all! They have an empty population of 200 million, but they are willing to endure poverty and oppression, so that the princely states we support can continue to guarantee their rule! Prime Minister Lin Zihao also had a smile on his face. The continuation of the rule of the princely states of India was also a great thing for the empire. (To be continued......)
