Chapter 44 of Part 6

"Three more villages have been slaughtered?" After hearing the Chief of Staff's report, Li Yaozu did not even raise his head and continued to stare at the map in front of him. However, his eyebrows were firmly tied in the middle, which shows that Li Yaozu was still very annoyed about this kind of thing.

"According to the discipline of our team, these bastards were very honest when they were in China. Why did they become ghosts when they arrived in India?" The Chief of Staff also had a headache. As the battle to attack New Delhi was deployed, the Indians in the surrounding villages were considered to be in trouble.

"Hey, it's slaughtered. India doesn't have to be domestic. The British have been operating a territory for a hundred years. The locals have become accustomed to the British's orders. We don't have to make a little bit of a bad idea. Killing more now is better than the kind of conflict that the occupying troops in India will be able to encounter in conflicts everywhere in the future." Li Yaozu restored his indifferent expression. Killing a few Indians is indeed not a big deal in his opinion. Did the British kill fewer British kill in order to rule India?

As a general who followed Chen Congyun to conquer the world in the early days, Li Yaozu definitely did not give any discount on the execution of the orders issued by Chen Congyun. He would not be ruthless when killing anyone or things that obstructed him from executing the orders. As China became increasingly powerful, the entire army also formed a concept that anyone who hindered the advance of the Chinese army would kill him cleanly. Even the Vietnamese security guards who were on the front line were on the Vietnamese side, After the South was incorporated into China's territory, they also regarded themselves as citizens of China's Vietnam Province and as members of the Chinese army. With this concept, after being attacked by small-scale attacks by locals controlled by some nearby British people in the first two days of the recent deployment of the Battle of New Delhi, of course, they slaughtered several villages without hesitation. Later, they directly evolved into all the villages and towns inhabited by Indians outside New Delhi, and were driven away. Anyone who dared to resist was killed immediately.

The saying "fight for the rise of China" is not simply said. When every officer at the level of military personnel ordered a move, the prime minister first thought of the interests of the country, and the second is to protect the safety of his soldiers.

In fact, Chen Congyun, who is far away in Beijing, did not expect the Indian expeditionary force to be completely unwarranted, nor did he expect the Chinese army to go to other countries to fight wars, so that the Indian people can welcome them by not disturbing the people. This is all the ideas that only those with broken brains have. To put it bluntly, it is invasion, to kill people, set fires, money, and women to grab territory. If you don’t get a little ruthless in the initial stage, how can you show the benefits of the future policy of politeness?

Therefore, when Chen Congyun received a summary report from Li Yaozu on this stage of the Indian battlefield, he cared about the casualties and logistical consumption of our army, and did not take the report on how many local people had been massacred.

However, seeing a Vietnamese security division being able to organize counterattacks and defeat their opponents under the attack of three Indian divisions, Chen Congyun was slightly surprised, and then he remembered the war that took place on the Sino-Indian border in the early 1960s, and the Indian army that dared to challenge China with the Soviet Union, and the tragic situation of the Chinese army fighting, Chen Congyun couldn't help but laughed softly.

"There is nothing to be praised for defeating such an army! After annihilation of the British troops stationed in India, I will send me a good news!" Chen Congyun set a tone and the adjutant responded to the telegram. Then Chen Congyun's attention naturally turned to the European side, where is the place where real kung fu is seen.

Under the current situation, two opposing and coexisting governments in Russia, although they know what kind of abacus the Chinese are, since the political beliefs of both sides are absolutely opposite and live to the death, there is no real cooperation problem. Since there is no concept of coexistence and prosperity, it is natural for everyone to smile and turn their heads to touch the guy. While the two governments are in opposition in the front, they must also gain the support of the strong Chinese government as much as possible.

Chen Congyun's plan is that I support both sides, but it depends on who is stronger and who is weaker. The strong side Chen Congyun is willing to kick him if he has something to do. The weak side Chen Congyun will increase his support, and he is more generous in food, ammunition and other things. In short, it is to maintain a balance.

The Chinese government's requirement to ensure smooth railways to Europe was quickly implemented. After obtaining a certain amount of food relief, both governments began to spend a lot of effort to rectify the railway. The only thing that made Chen Congyun dissatisfied was that the Russians' railway tracks were not the same as those adopted by Europe, and they had to change trains halfway through. Of course, this problem had to be negotiated with Germany, which gave Germany a headache.

On this issue, the Germans once again showed high efficiency. In just one month, the first batch of Chinese rapid army and equipment to reinforce Europe successfully got off the train in Germany, and a large amount of military supplies also arrived in Germany. The military supplies provided by China were mainly concentrated in food and medicine.

The people who arrived in Germany were the personnel and aircraft of three air divisions of the Chinese Air Force. As for the ammunition required by the aircraft, the Chinese side provided the technology, which was provided by the German military.

During this period, the main mission of the Air Force was still for reconnaissance. Although both belligerent countries had already started to use bombers, the scale of use was not very large. Due to the performance limitations of the aircraft, the role played by the Air Force on the ground battlefield was not very obvious.

In terms of how to use the air force and the degree of importance, the Chinese are obviously ahead of the world, which has been proven in the naval battle in the Malay Bay. The new equipment and new tactics of the Chinese army have been described in the report of Xiao Moltch to the domestic market. However, when the new tanks of the Rapid Army and a large number of airplanes of the Air Force appeared in Germany, the observation personnel sent by the German army still shone with a shiny feeling. The Germans are a bit rigid, but it does not mean that the Germans have a resistant idea of ​​new technologies and new tactics. On the contrary, the Germans have always been at the forefront of the world in the use of new equipment and new tactics.

At first, the Germans were a little confused about why the Chinese army had to send a large number of planes over. When the Air Force observers saw China's excellent bombers and new bombs, some observers began to report to the General Staff, wondering whether the Chinese army, which had been highly mechanized, was using a new tactic, and it was a mature tactic. Similarly, when the German Army observers saw more than 800 new tanks equipped by the Chinese Rapid Army, compared the tanks used by the British, they immediately realized that the Chinese were already far ahead of the world in this regard.

The German army suffered enough of tanks in the battle with the Allies. When the German observer saw the 60-mm flat-fire cannon equipped by the Rapid Army, he immediately realized what this thing was for.

Due to the arrival of the Chinese Rapid Army, the German General Staff quickly set up a new department, which was called 10 intelligence departments and the "Chinese Military Research Office" internally.

The preparation time for the entire battle was not as smooth as Chen Congyun expected. Until early August, the second phase of transportation had not begun. After all, the road from Russia to Germany was still a little farther, and Russia was indeed a little bigger. Indeed, since Chen Congyun started the war, he has been working hard to narrow Russia's territory. Judging from the Sino-Russia negotiation process in July, due to the deliberate win over the two opposing Russian governments, Chen Congyun's efforts to seek deserted areas east of Siberia have been initially achieved. Russia's cedes to the east of the Yenisei River have been signed. The issue of the ownership of other territories will continue to be slowly arguing. In short, Chen Congyun's point of view is that it doesn't matter whether he talks slowly, and the two Russian governments will continue to confront each other.

One thing that is certain is that Comrade Lenin is generous and will not be lenient when he cedes the land for the stability of the regime, so Mr. Mensheviks are definitely unwilling to leave behind.

The only thing that made Chen Congyun a little dissatisfied was that both Russian governments asked for money, food and equipment at the lion's big talk. Chen Congyun felt that they were too unavailable, but in order to maintain the status quo, they could only slightly meet their requirements like squeezing toothpaste. In short, one thing is clear. In the occupied areas of the Chinese army, the Ministry of Certification and Training must fully implement relevant policies, so that the local people cannot starve or delay local agricultural production. After all, these places will be Chinese territory in the future. Only by contrast can there be high or low levels. The people in the occupied areas know one thing that is very beneficial to being Chinese, and those who are willing to be Russians do not force themselves to stay. They can stuff them into tank trucks and take them back to Russia to eat black bread that they don't even chew.

When the European battlefield was in full swing with Germany to prepare for war, the Americans were not idle. Although they did not send troops blatantly, the US Navy had announced that it would escort the country's merchant ships. In this way, the Germans' unlimited submarine warfare would be difficult. After June 1917, more than half of the German submarines lost, and the pressure on the British to obtain supplies from the sea also shrunk significantly.

Since the Americans are still under the banner of neutrality, the negotiations between China and the United States on whether to join forces to propose a ceasefire are still in a private stalemate, and no one is willing to give in. Therefore, Chen Congyun has not made a clear statement on the issue of escorting the US Navy, and the Chinese Navy has not expressed his intention to go to the Atlantic Ocean.

With the British army retreating on the Indian battlefield, the British navy did not intend to continue to go south to reinforce. It still used its main force to defend the German high seas fleet, which would make India famine itself. In fact, everyone, including the United States, knew very well that as the Chinese army arrived on the Western Front of Germany and as the German army gathered on the Western Front with all their might, the future battle on the Western Front will be the focus of determining the final fate of both sides.

Chen Congyun's request was that before the European battlefield began, Li Yaozu's Indian Expeditionary Force captured New Delhi and Mumbai, so in terms of time, the Expeditionary Force could still prepare calmly.

Throughout early August, the main strategic purpose of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was to gradually compress the British space on the front line of New Delhi. The British troops stationed in India were also trying their best to resist, striving to drag a large number of Chinese naval, army and air forces to India. Britain built solid fortifications in New Delhi and Mumbai. Without the support of tanks, Li Yaozu could only rely on a large number of artillery and aircraft support. Therefore, the Expeditionary Force patiently waited for several airports to be repaired, and the Air Force reinforcements were in place to be considered as making all pre-war preparations.

The first battle to siege New Delhi was launched. In this battle, Li Yaozu gathered six Vietnamese guard divisions to fight the vanguards, and three Chinese reorganized divisions to serve as the second echelon and the reserve. The British army placed three infantry divisions in New Delhi and the defensive forces of six Indian divisions. Among them, the Indian division was placed on the periphery as cannon fodder, and the British army relied on the strong fortifications in the city to defend. Regarding such a defensive formation, the official British newspapers boasted that with the current firepower of the Chinese army, it would be impossible to conquer New Delhi in less than half a year.

"Half a year? Isn't it a little too long? I'm bragging a little too much!" Li Yaozu held a newspaper delivered from home in his hand before the general attack began, and threw it away with a little disdain.

Dawn has passed, and hundreds of cannons in the morning color have been aimed at the positions outside New Delhi. As a roar in the air broke the tranquility of the morning light, hundreds of bombers appeared above the positions and swept over the heads of the Chinese front-line troops, a burst of cheers rang out.

Very arrogant behavior! Li Yaozu had no intention of hiding his attack intention at all. In fact, Li Yaozu just wanted the British to know that I was going to attack.

The British defenders did know that the attack was about to begin, but when the dense bombers appeared above the position and threw the bomb on the position like a bird laying an egg, the entire New Delhi defense line was still hit hard, and then the Chinese artillery that followed him smashed the shells onto the position like money.

After the fire preparations were over, the officers and soldiers of the Vietnamese Guard Division, whose faces were already red with excitement, took the lead in jumping out of the trench, held high the command knife and roared: "Go forward!"

The officers and soldiers of the three Vietnamese guard divisions who were attacking the first wave swept forward like a locust plague. The sun just raised was shining brightly with millions of bayonets.
Chapter completed!
