Chapter 156: The Cruel and Bloody Final Street Fight {II}
"Hey, hey! Is it the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Zhang Jun? I am Major General Zhang Mohan of the 105th Armored Division of the Northern Group Army. Now we've advanced to the vicinity of the Indian Museum. What the? Ask my troops to break through here by this afternoon to reach Matan Park with the remnants of the 102nd Infantry Division round! Damn, boy! Isn't your brain caught in the door? First of all, I have revoked the order to restrict the use of heavy weapons in this area on the tactical map, and Lao Tzu will be able to push it over in an hour! ”
"Division! Division! The situation is urgent! Repeated, the situation is extremely urgent! I am Major Li Delong, acting commander of the 102nd Regiment of the 103rd Infantry Division. Don't ask me what's wrong with the head of the regiment! If you want to see him, you can put him on your own. We were ambushed by the enemy, and we are now located near Matan Park. Ask for reinforcements to be sent immediately to relieve the siege. Shenma! You have problems over there, let's fix them ourselves! ! Lao Tzu, the battalion company commander, is dying, what do you want me to resist! Oh, and the fastest troops in the neighborhood take an hour to arrive, and it can't be any faster? Then you will not send fire to the headquarters to cover the strike request, as long as you go to the east longitude XXX degrees, the north latitude XXX degrees will be all done in one round. Nani? There was an order from the superiors that there was a large temple nearby, and for the sake of harmony, it was not allowed to open fire at will! Your sister! Is it the traditional culture of the TMD Indians that is important, or the lives of our own soldiers? ”
"Former enemy general headquarters, I am Zhang Han, colonel of the 304th Armored Regiment of the 310th Armored Division. We're in a little bit of trouble here. The enemy's anti-tank trenches were dug too wide and deep, and it seemed that the thing on the tactical bridging tank was simply not long enough, and it was afraid that it would arrive thirty minutes later than the scheduled time. Be! Chief, understood. Mission completion guaranteed! However, we need armored bulldozers from the engineering battalion to come and help fill the pit to get there! ”。
"Your Excellency Zhang Jun, I am the fourth commander-in-chief of the Indian Clone Corps. The operational objective of blockading the perimeter of Kolkata with 30 divisions has been basically achieved. The remaining 25 divisions will continue to cooperate with the main attacking force in full accordance with your orders, but the various combat units have not been replenished with men and weapons in the previous battles. I don't need equipment, but can I allocate some manpower from the country a little! ”
The above passages are just a simplified version of the problems encountered by the millions of combat troops who have invaded the city in this battle in the past few days. In fact, there are many problems, such as the constant occurrence of sniper attacks, the inability to distinguish the identity of civilians from suicide attackers, the long supply of ammunition and the lack of combat consumption, the close collapse of the field medical system due to a large number of casualties, and the destruction of buildings during the battle, which indirectly caused a large amount of garbage to block the communication routes in the city, seriously affecting the rapid interspersed advancement of mechanized troops, and so on. It has also become the root cause of the expeditionary force's continued advance.
It has been more than three days since the start of the war, but the results achieved by the participating troops are far from the original plan. The enemy's extensive network of tunnels throughout the city, the restrictions of various rules and regulations formulated by a certain prime minister in order to promote the spirit of humanitarianism, and the ignorant and fearless suicidal counterattack of the puppet soldiers of the Indian army all made the ensuing battle more difficult. But then again. In fact, if you want to take this city bloodlessly, it is by no means without other means. As long as the troops of Xinhuaguo surround and do not fight, it is only a matter of time before the other side surrenders. After all, the people depend on food, and as long as the strategic grain reserves in the city are exhausted, then in this situation, which cannot be replenished by the outside world, it is inevitable that the Indian government will completely collapse because of the inability to make ends meet. However, in the final analysis, what this plan needs most is enough time, and it is this thing that Xinhua lacks the most.
Of course, if you don't besiege the city, you can also consider fighting a propaganda war. As long as the appropriate conditions are prescribed, theoretically it can still play a good positive role. At the very least, we do not seek to allow the other side to cause a coup d'état, but at least it can also cause signs of instability within the other side, weaken their stubborn will to resist, and further weaken the national cohesion of their current regime until the battle is won. However, this method also requires enough time for the discontent to ferment and mold, so it is still not suitable for expeditionary forces where time is at a premium. Besides, the low-caste people, who make up the vast majority of the population and have been oppressed and unwelcomed, are easy to buy, but the supplies needed to appease them are an astronomical amount that drives the logisticians crazy! Now that the logistics of this million-strong army are about to be cut off, how can we have the spare time to carry forward the spirit of internationalism and humanity to help foreign victims! Rather than spending time governing these most difficult countries in human history, it would be better to severely weaken their war potential! After all, only the dead third brother is a good third brother!
Xinhuaguo's self-contained offensive made this siege street battle, which was not easy to solve, even more difficult. The huge casualties and a large number of mechanized troops even caused an embarrassing situation in which the attacking troops on both sides could not move an inch for a time. It was not until Comrade Li De, commander of the 205th Armored Division of the National Defense Army, responded to the call of a certain superior leader to be close to the people and took the initiative to visit a large number of civilians who had just been rescued from an underground weapons factory. However, these guys who have been in the black factory for too long and have been seriously nutritionized and thin like hemp rods seem to have a big problem with their hungry spirits. Unfortunately, our poor leader's careless mentality finally brought unwarranted disaster to himself. As an old-fashioned defensive grenade exploded at his heels, the Major General, who was not wearing any protective clothing, became the only senior General of the Wehrmacht to have been killed by Li Feng since the formation of the regime!
What's even worse is that everyone has not recovered from this tragedy. The news that the 109th Regiment of the 106th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht had been completely annihilated and that there was no survivor was like a bombshell that completely shattered all unrealistic illusions on the front line. As a result, the precautions with ideal humanitarian overtones issued by Premier Han Weiguo were quickly intervened by Li Feng, who learned of the matter, and directly annulled this national-level order, which was not correct or not.
Speaking of which, this matter is really embarrassing enough, if it weren't for that-a-d'm weapon restriction order and that-bastard's greed for merit. How could a motorized infantry regiment equipped with APC magically modified armored personnel carriers and with a large number of individual multi-purpose missile launchers be beaten into such a bear by an Indian ambush force that does not even have a lot of heavy equipment such as the MBT-6 Predator battle tank!
At the beginning of the battle, a small force of the Indian army first attacked the 109th Regiment of the 106th Infantry Division on the march, and then in the pursuit of the guard platoon, the number of opponents increased and the intensity of resistance increased. In the end, the commander of a certain regiment, who thought that he had caught a big fish, ignored the repeated opposition of his subordinates, and increased the number of pursuing troops again and again, until the whole regiment was led into a pre-designed ambush circle by this group of obviously prepared enemies.
When an EMP bomb passed, the enemy hiding in the Victoria Memorial suddenly opened fire. The Wehrmacht soldiers who got out of the car to engage in the battle were quickly knocked down like wheat under the dense barrage of missiles and snipers hunted with precision. Within 10 minutes of the attack, more than two-thirds of the tanks had been turned into a pile of burning scrap metal by a large number of anti-tank missiles in the wide central square, and then, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Li Xingguo, deputy commander of the regiment, who had escaped due to disagreement {not in the command vehicle}, had paid a heavy price of more than 60 percent of the troops, and finally relied on the remnants of the tanks to set up a defensive formation. But soon they encountered a sneak attack by rocket-boosting grenades that were suddenly thrown from the ground open manhole cover, and as a result, they were unsuspecting and were immediately blown up on their backs and suffered heavy losses!
These grenades with AI guidance systems with long eyes are so accurate that they can even control themselves to penetrate through windows with precision and blast enemies out of the buildings where they are stationed. And it is even more handy to deal with the Wehrmacht in the cover of combat vehicles, after all, this thing can even hit high-rise buildings.
Under the combined blows of these two groups in less than half an hour, the 106th Regiment of the 109th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, which was unable to immediately get in touch with the outside world due to strong electromagnetic interference, could only stubbornly stumble. And it just so happened that a soldier who received the order was collecting ammunition when he accidentally discovered the undestroyed quantum communication device in a regimental command vehicle that had been destroyed. As a result, he was overjoyed, and immediately connected to the video communication with the front-line headquarters.
Sadly, however, after providing the coordinates of the location, it was a pity that no unit in the vicinity could reach them within ten minutes. What is even more embarrassing is that due to the 3,500 historical art collections in the Victoria Memorial Hall, according to Prime Minister's Order No. 6, the former enemy general command regrettably vetoed any request for large-scale fire support, and even more infuriatingly, in order not to violate the spirit of the document, this civilian staff officer even ruthlessly rejected the minimum request to send a black dragon fighter with air supremacy to provide close fire cover. As a result, just when the two were arguing, more than a dozen tanks broke out of the door of the hall and several rumbling cannons, completely ending this fierce dispute caused by the orders of the superiors.
The so-called "Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing." "Although these two isolated incidents have had a serious impact on the high morale of the main forces participating in this operation in a short period of time. But correspondingly, there were no more worries, and the expeditionary force that had obtained the legal murder license also obtained the highest authority they had always dreamed of—that is, the latest operational standards issued by Li Feng himself!
This order is very detailed and detailed, but in summary, his core idea is that no matter what means are used, as long as the conflict can be ended within three days and the Indian government obediently surrenders. Even if you are going to blast Calcutta into the sky with a superweapon, as long as the plan is safe and feasible, you will be fully supported and assisted.
With so many conveniences, the next battle will not be as difficult as it was at the beginning. "What! According to the intelligence transmitted by the No. 1 to No. 18 tactical drones, tens of thousands of Indian troops were stationed in the residential areas of the buildings ahead, but there were still hundreds of thousands of civilians living there, and they could not use heavy weapons to bomb. Cut! It's not our people who care about what he does! If you report the coordinates and cover them directly, it will be over, anyway, when the time comes, let the engineering brothers who deal with the aftermath bother more! Since then, more than 30,000 Indian Defence Forces (IDF), together with hundreds of thousands of their own people who have been held hostage and used as meat shields, have disappeared forever from the land where they were born and raised in a fierce and short burst of artillery fire, becoming a glorious part of the more than 100 million missing people after the end of the war.
"Huh! Prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city were suspected of having beef in their food, and the local guards were almost overwhelmed. This is already the third request for reinforcements from the Wehrmacht! ”
“TMD! Do you need to go through such trouble! Let the three clone divisions act as reserves to maintain order. Anyway, if these people continue to make trouble because of their shame, those emotionless guys can deal with the problem more efficiently than us! Although this prisoner of war incident did not later evolve into a large-scale massacre of prisoners without discipline, the third brother's arrogant attitude and refusal to cooperate still made those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war suffer a lot for a long time to come.
"Your sister! The engineering units that were building roads in the rear were attacked again. It was actually done by a group of ground rats that came out of the day and night. TMD gave me permission to use tactical ground-penetrating missiles from my superiors. Right! It's the kind of one with a nuclear warhead, and Lao Tzu has to make them never want to go back to the ground this time. "More than a dozen 1,000-ton tactical nuclear bombs exploded under the city, and in addition to directly blowing up a number of extremely strong underground shelters and munitions warehouses, the huge shock wave generated by them also indirectly caused the entire subsidence of the already fragile underground structure of a third of the city of Kolkata. By the way, it also permanently destroyed almost two-thirds of the city's tunnel network, completely disconnected the city's northern and southern defense areas, and eventually even accelerated the demise of the Indian government. But there are good things, and there is also bad news! Although this man-made earthquake did not cause many casualties to our army, due to the sudden change in the terrain, the future supply of the various units fighting in the city could only be solved by large-scale airdrops.
"Hearing that the negotiations broke down, the independent Gurkha battalion of the Indian 6th Mountain Army, surrounded by the 102nd Regiment of the 103rd Infantry Division in Fort New William in Matan Park, resolutely refused to surrender. It's okay, it's okay! It's not that three days ago, I was afraid of any cultural relics and not cultural relics, and civilians were not civilians. Send the coordinates over, and a plane will come over to deal with it in a moment. Please! Five minutes later, a pioneer armed warship plane sensed the scene of the accident, and as a result, during the half-hour shelling, the forbidden place where the West Bengal government was located, which was never allowed to foreign tourists to visit, was repeatedly bombarded by two 120mm ramming cannons on the plane, and became a small pond with a large pit more than ten meters deep.
On 15 July, the new city area south of Kolkata was declared, and Indian Defense Minister Fernand and more than 30 of his generals were killed in battle, and most of the 5 million defenders were killed and captured.
At midnight on July 16, the northern part of the city was completely lost, and on the morning of the 17th, after several reconnaissance units risked their lives to verify that the new Chinese country had completely controlled the old city in the north. Most of the more than 60 generals and officers below General Pranab Mujik surrendered, and the 10 million defenders surrendered to the enemy except for more than 7 million who were killed and missing.
On the morning of 17 July, the Kolkata City Hall was completely destroyed by bombs dropped by a large number of Century bombers. Since 12 p.m., the Ministry of National Defense building, land-based X-band large radar, major military bases, military airports, government radio stations, waterworks, power supply facilities, and other important government departments and facilities have been devastated!
On the night of July 17, after three hours of fierce fighting, the Prime Minister's Office, the core authority of the Indian government, and the underground facilities were completely occupied. None of the more than a dozen ministerial-level senior officials below Gandhi escaped, and all of them were captured by the 3rd Special Operations Brigade under the 15th Corps of the Shadow Army.
At 8 a.m. on July 18th, after a brief struggle, Indian Prime Minister Lal Lar. Gandhi finally announced the unconditional surrender of the Indian government. And on a treaty dealing with the defeat of the country that changed the country to a loose federal state, he wrote his name with great difficulty. After the Xinhua side also left two dissatisfied mechanized regiments and 10 divisions of clone troops to supervise the post-war trial and the implementation of the treaty, the rest of the ground troops also returned to Xinjiang in batches from the 19th to the 21st for reorganization.
As for the Pakistani government, which has managed to do some strength in this war, it has also gained the sovereignty of Kashmir that they have always wanted because they are on the right side, and has the opportunity to intervene in control of their old enemy, the Republic of India! Of course, these are not the biggest benefits they have obtained, because the defeat of the NOD has finally given the other party a chance to completely eradicate these cultists who have infiltrated their territory and threatened their dominance.
