Ye Yiwei, the commander of the 44th Division, said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander, I know what to do. This battle is for a quick decision, and we must defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time, so that they dare not look at our special zone."

Suolang Wangdui nodded: "Mountain roads are difficult, and all supplies can only be provided by caravans. Although we have tried our best to hoard supplies before, the food supplies are only enough for the 44th Division for two months, and the ammunition is only two large-scale Reserves for the battle. After you leave, I will try my best to deliver supplies, but you must also be mentally prepared for lack of food and ammunition."

"Understood, I know what to do. With the help of these big guys, victory should be relatively easy." Ye Yiwei seems to have a comprehensive plan. The future marshal of the New Hualan Kingdom will show off his military genius in this battle .

The No.40 [-]th Division moved forward in concealment. With the help of caravans and airships, they assembled in batches in the southern Xinjiang area. Of course, more troops, especially all armored vehicles, sneaked across the border from the Kokang area.Fortunately, the Kokang area is not too far from southern Xinjiang, and now that the Saar people have been beaten badly by Nehru, they also want to let the other party suffer once.The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. Although the relationship between the Western Special Zone and the Saar Empire is not good, they still choose to turn a blind eye.

Nehru's troops were all militias. Although they were large in number, they assembled very slowly. It was not until three days after Ye Yiwei's No.40 Fourth Division arrived in Tawang Town that the other party assembled an army of [-] troops and slowly passed Zhe Mengxiong. Heading towards the southern Xinjiang region.

As soon as they stepped into the territory of southern Xinjiang, the Zhaini army suffered a head-on blow. They were stopped by a regiment of garrison troops originally stationed in southern Xinjiang.Although the number of troops is insufficient, they are well-armed and well-equipped, which is not comparable to that of the Zhaini.

In fact, although the Western Special Administrative Region secretly supported Nehru with a large amount of equipment through other channels, it only belonged to light weapons, and the few heavy weapons that the Zhaini army had were all snatched from the Saar army.It was precisely because of the unstable supply of weapons to the Zhaini Army that Nehru had the idea of ​​​​invading southern Xinjiang.Because in addition to being an extremely high-quality agricultural area with a mild climate and fertile land, southern Xinjiang also has a small-scale weapons manufacturing factory.

Zhao Shouhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry if he knew about Nehru's combat motives.The light weapons factory established in the southern Xinjiang region all produced raw materials from the nearby Kokang Province, and its main production task was to provide weapons and ammunition for sale to Nehru.However, because the businessman did not use the banner of the Western Special Zone, others had no way of knowing.Although this approach avoided the hatred of the Saar Empire, it also kept Nehru in the dark.

Nehru didn't know that the place where the Zhaini army was going to occupy was the place where his weapons and ammunition were supplied.He thought that as long as he occupied this place, the Zhaini Army would have its own military industrial enterprise and be able to continuously obtain weapons, which would make it more confident to deal with the Saar.Of course, occupying southern Xinjiang to obtain weapons factories is only a secondary goal, and Nehru's main goal is to change his defense posture.

The Saar Empire itself is weak and unable to support the large-scale battle against the rebels on the Zhaini continent. They have been fighting weaker and weaker for nearly a year.Now the Zhaini army has occupied nearly 100 million square kilometers of land in the north of the Zhaini continent, and there is a great tendency to continue to advance triumphantly.

In order to win a respite, the Saar Empire had to agree to allow Nehru to establish a country, and the two sides temporarily signed an armistice agreement along the current front.With the approval of the Saar people, Nehru was able to establish the Zaini Republic two months ago and serve as the prime minister himself, with his capital in Delhi.

Although Gandhi no longer pays attention to Nehru, he has become the most powerful person in Jaini.With a territorial area of ​​more than 100 million square kilometers and more than 30 soldiers, they were not afraid of the small number of colonial troops of the Saars. Nehru's army has become the most powerful force on the entire Zhaini subcontinent.

Nehru is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace. Although he has successfully established a country, he is always planning for the worst.In addition to the purpose of obtaining weapons production bases, Nehru's main military purpose is to change the strategic situation.

Because there is no help from the navy, all the land of Zhaini is inland, and it is a land that is attacked by enemies.To change this situation, some changes must be made, and Jiangnan is his first step.Under Nehru's attack, the Saar colony at the southern foot of the Great Hengduan Mountains has changed hands, but southern Xinjiang is still in the hands of the Western Special Zone.

If he could rely on the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Dahengduan Mountains, Nehru could control each mountain pass with a small amount of troops, thus mobilizing more troops to defend against the Saars in the south or the Red Sea Province in the western special zone in the west, but this line of defense is the only one. The loophole is in southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang is located at the southern foot of the Great Hengduan Mountains, and it is a rare treasure land.A large number of Xijiang people have lived here for generations, and it is a tentacles of the Hualan nation extending to the Zhaini continent.If this place is in the hands of the Western Special Zone, it will be able to maintain a standing army in southern Xinjiang through the limited transportation capacity of various mountain passes, threatening the rear of Zhaini at any time.

Chapter 984 The Battle of Southern Xinjiang

If the Western Special Zone stationed troops here for a long time, there would be a loophole in the strong defense line of the Zhaini Republic in the north, forcing Nehru to keep a large number of troops in the north, which violated his idea of ​​facing the enemy in the south with the Dahengduan Mountains.Therefore, this strategic point and rich land, Nehru has to get it anyway.

Although Nehru had heard about the power of the Western Special Administrative Region, he had never really felt it.It is impossible to imagine how powerful it is without feelings, and the seemingly invincible Saar army has been defeated by them many times before, Nehru is somewhat self-inflated.

The [-] army suddenly launched an attack, and the power was still very astonishing.Although the Zhaini are stupid to fight, they have one advantage, they are religious.As a country where [-]% of the country believes in Zhaini, its people believe in the cycle of cause and effect in the afterlife.They believe that as long as they can endure pain in this life, they can get happiness in the next life. This religious theory makes the Zhaini the most difficult slaves to resist, and also makes them fearless on the battlefield.

As long as everyone is not afraid of death, even if the weapons are inferior and the tactics are dull, the army still has great power. When the Zhaini soldiers who shouted to charge raised their rifles, they charged like chicken blood.Fortunately, the garrison temporarily strengthened the firepower of the machine guns. Seeing the Zhaini charging in groups, bullets rained down on the machine gun positions that had already calculated the distance and angle.

The Zhaini charged desperately, trying to open a gap in the garrison's defense line, but the commander of the garrison was very calm, coping with all kinds of situations calmly, and did not give the opponent any chance to take advantage of it.The Zhaini attacked several times in one go, but they didn't even make it halfway up the mountain.The not-so-steep hillside was covered with Zhaini corpses, dyeing the originally blue-gray ridge into a yellowish yellow.

The garrison regiment arranged its position on a mountain ridge in the remaining range of Dahengduan Mountain. Although this mountain ridge is not steep, it is the only way to enter the southern Xinjiang area.The height of the mountain is more than 900 meters, which makes it very difficult for the army to feint.After observing for a period of time, the Zhaini people have already understood the strength of the opponent's position. Such a high fortification machine gun is hard to reach. Except for the cannon, there are few weapons that can threaten them.In desperation, the Zaini people decided to show their unique skills.

The more than 60 mountain cannons lined up are all the belongings in the hands of Nehru. In order to snatch these weapons from the Saars, they even lost a large number of soldiers.It was precisely because of this batch of artillery that the Saar people were beaten back steadily, and finally gave up most of the land in the north of Zhaini.

With such a strong strength, Nehru felt very confident in dealing with an enclave in the Western Special Zone, but unfortunately he didn't know how big Ye Yiwei's appetite was.

When Nehru's army attacked the garrison, Ye Yiwei personally led a mechanized infantry regiment, a logistics supply regiment and an infantry regiment across the Zhemenxiong area and attacked Darjeeling in the Zaini Republic.Speaking of which, the Zhaini Republic just established by Nehru has helped a lot for the Western Special Zone. They occupy the entire northern part of the Zhaini Continent, allowing the Western Special Zone and the Saars to have a buffer, and will also have not been incorporated into the Zhaini. The Zhemengxiong and Gurkha areas of the Nepalese colonies were also annexed by it.

With these two areas, Zhaini occupies almost all the plains at the southern foot of the Great Hengduan Mountains, which allows them to have a natural barrier when fighting against the Western Special Zone, but also allows Ye Yiwei to not have to bear the burden of attacking these areas. Strong pressure from the Saar Empire.

Although this area is quite narrow and long, it can give the army a solid base. At the same time, they can attack all the way west, and they can also open up the connection with the Red Sea Province.Once this area is in the hands of the Western Special Zone, southern Xinjiang and the Red Sea Province will be connected together, and the strategic situation of the Western Special Zone in Zhaini will be greatly changed.

In addition to these benefits, there is another problem. In the Saar colonial army, there is an extremely powerful mercenary unit called the Gurkha brigade.This army is brave and good at fighting, and it can be called the ace army of mountain warfare.After Nehru occupied this land, the elite troops of the Saar Empire lost their source of troops. If the Western Special Administrative Region can get this land, then the Gurkha Brigade will become an elite army of the Western Special Administrative Region in the future.

In order to change the unfavorable strategic situation in the Western Special Zone, Ye Yiwei boldly changed the plan temporarily and suddenly led the main force to raid Darjeeling.Because most of the army was defending the border against the Saars, and another [-] troops were deployed to attack southern Xinjiang this time, resulting in an extremely empty interior.Seeing the invasion of the West Special Army Brigade, the defenders lacked the courage to continue the battle. As a result, Ye Yiwei took Sun Liren's tank battalion as the vanguard, and quickly crossed Darjeeling and Gangtok and entered the territory of Gurkha.

The Gurkhas are originally of a different race from the Zhainis, and their beliefs are more inclined to Buddhism in Western Xinjiang, so they have more affection for Hualan.Historically, Gurkha has always been subordinate to the Central Dynasty and existed as a subsidiary state of the Hualan Kingdom. It was only the decline of the Central Dynasty in recent decades that allowed it to fall into the hands of the Saar Empire.From the perspective of history and national feelings, Gurkha still has deep feelings for Hualan, so when Sun Liren led his army into Gurkha, he was welcomed by the people.

Ye Yiwei's assault was extremely smooth, but the battle on the southern border of Xinjiang was still going on fiercely. The Zhaini army took out all their heavy equipment, and a large number of artillery were firing desperately, trying to destroy the opponent's solid cliff fortifications.It's a pity that these fortifications were not built hastily. Although the construction of the position is not too bad due to the shortage of raw materials, it is built with the help of the mountain after all. The joints of the stone castle are glued with cement, which is very strong. Assure.

The local officials in southern Xinjiang are very thoughtful. They know that this is an enclave, so they pay great attention to the construction of the defense line.A large number of caves have been carved out of the solid mountain rock, and the interior is reinforced with cement.The caves are connected to each other, and a large number of fortifications exist at the entrances of all the caves.The entire mountain is a huge bunker, and the defenders can move around through the caves and concentrate their forces to inflict great damage on the enemy.

Facing these flexible and mobile enemies, the Zaini army had few options. They lacked machine guns, and the caliber of their artillery was too small to break through the opponent's bunkers. The only thing they could rely on was their numbers, and they used numbers to gain an advantage.It's a pity that they were facing the army of the Western Special Zone, especially after Ye Yiwei's infantry regiment who stayed behind in southern Xinjiang also joined the defense, the defense line became even more impenetrable.A mere 8 soldiers blocked the successive attacks of [-] people, and they never took a step back.

Chapter 985 Heavy Artillery Troops

Such a stalemate battle situation made Nehru very worried. At first, he thought that the opponent was separated by the Dahengduan Mountains and could not replenish supplies for southern Xinjiang too much.In addition, there are not many garrison troops here, as long as they conquer southern Xinjiang with lightning speed, they will be able to defend the mountain passes and prevent the opponent from attacking.

Nehru also has plans for threats from east and west. Kokang Province in the east is still separated from him by a Saar territory, and the Isaar people will not let their temper go.Although the Red Sea Province in the west borders him, the frontal battlefield is not too wide, and he has also deployed heavy troops to guard that direction.Nehru believed that he could still cope with pressure from one direction alone.

The situation is a bit different now. Although the offensive has not made much progress, he does not think that the Western Special Zone will be able to deploy enough troops to southern Xinjiang in a short period of time. He still has enough time to attack the position and get the land he has coveted for a long time.

The offensive lasted for five days, and Nehru was even numb to fighting. All he had to look at every day was the number of casualties and the consumption of supplies in his own family.Although in just five days, more than 2 Zhaini troops had been killed in battle, he was unmoved because he knew that there were not many people on the other side.

"My lord, there is serious trouble." A Zaini officer rushed in hastily and passed a telegram to Nehru.

Nehru took it impatiently, but he was dumbfounded after a glance. "What? Zhe Mengxiong, Darjeeling, and Gurkha have all been captured, and two enemy troops have attacked our army stationed in the west?" Nehru suddenly stood up: "This is impossible. Could it be that they came from It fell from the sky?"

"Maybe, it is said that they still have tanks. We can't win at all." The officer said.

Nehru was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to issue the order: "The whole army retreats, we must return to the defense. Order the western front to retreat and give them the passage."

Nehru's original pride was completely shattered, and he had prepared for the worst.Once the large forces of the West Army invaded from the Red Sea Province, the Zhaini regime would be easily destroyed, so he prepared for the worst.The clumsy Zhaini tried to injure someone with force, but ended up losing money.

Long before Ye Yiwei's troops appeared on the western front, Ma Hongkui's Red Sea Cavalry Division and Red Sea First Garrison Division had entered the Zaini Republic and launched an attack on the [-] Zaini army standing on the border.The orders of the Zhaini people are only for defense. In addition, the frontal width of this plain is only [-] kilometers, which also includes a large desert area. The insurmountable Dahengduan Mountains are in the north, and the endless Arabian Gulf is in the south. Therefore, Zhaini The front for the army to defend is not long.

The Zhaini resisted desperately, blocking the attack of the West army with their lives.Although the Red Sea Garrison Division of the West Army is well-armed, it is attacking an enemy force three times its own, and there is little hope of victory.Gao Yuhan, the commander of the Southern Military Region, was very anxious. He knew that southern Xinjiang was being attacked, and he also knew the unfavorable situation there.However, the Southern Military Region has many enemies to beware of. Its main force, the Eighth Army, will be stationed in the Arabian Peninsula, while the Ninth Army will be in Iraq and the western part of the Red Sea Province to prevent the Saar Empire and Gaul from sending troops from the colonies.Coupled with the fact that the roads of other troops are far away, there is only so much that the Red Sea Provincial Garrison can help in a short period of time.

The garrison division attacked for three days, but still could not shake the Zhaini position.Although the Zhaini suffered heavy losses, about tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, they firmly held their positions.The Red Sea Garrison Division also killed more than 2000 people, and more than 1000 people were seriously injured, but they are still tenaciously launching the offensive.

Ma Hongkui always suppressed his impulse and did not let the cavalry division launch an attack.He knew that in this era of machine guns everywhere, the role of cavalry was becoming less and less obvious.If they harass and destroy in the pursuit battle, the cavalry can still play a role. If they charge head-on with machine gun fire, I am afraid that after one attack, I and all the cavalry will confess.

Although he kept persuading himself to be calm, Ma Hongkui couldn't calm down. The Red Sea Garrison was alone and unable to break through the enemy's formation.Ma Hongkui wanted to order several times to let the cavalry dismount and join the charge as infantry, but after thinking twice, he gave up this idea and watched the infantry suffer.

Just when Ma Hongkui was in a dilemma, reinforcements from Red Sea Province arrived.The Second Independent Artillery Division, this is a strategic force that has been rarely used, because it is difficult to move forward with large forces because of its slow movement.In fact, Gao Yuhan dispatched the Second Artillery Division for reinforcements very early on, and the reason why he arrived at this time was because the artillery was too heavy to move.

"Master Dorji Cidan, you are here." Seeing Dorji Cidan, the commander of the Second Artillery Division, Ma Hongkui felt like seeing a relative.

Dorji Cidan laughed and said, "It's not too late, I'll help you make a way out later, and let the Zhaini people know that this is not how wars are fought."

Dorji Cidan's confidence comes from the 36 [-]mm heavy artillery equipped by the whole division. These super giant cannons with long range and powerful deterrent effect are absolutely powerful.

When the Red Sea Garrison Division entered the starting position again, the Zaini people did not know that the opponent's strength had undergone a qualitative change.The Garrison Division was not in a hurry to launch a charge. Under the order of the temporary commander-in-chief Ma Hongkui, hundreds of cannons of various calibers from the Second Artillery Division fired in unison, ranging from 150 mm to [-] mm. One after another, they fell into the Zhaini army's position.

It was as if the Zhaini's position had been attacked by a meteor shower. The regular defense line was immediately blown into potholes, and broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere. The living people were also stunned by the sound of the guns, not knowing what to do.The fierce shelling lasted for half an hour, and then began to move to the rear position. This was the standard barrage advance tactic in the First World War in the Western Continent.

When the barrage began to advance slowly towards the Zhaini Army's position, the loud sound of the charging horn spread across the land, and the Red Sea Garrison Division and the Red Sea Cavalry Division jointly launched a charge.

The selection of the attack point of the West Army was very particular. They avoided the Dahengduan Mountains in the Kashmir region and chose Islamabad, an important military town in the plains, to launch the attack.The positions formed by tens of thousands of Zhaini troops are only more than ten kilometers away from Islamabad.

Originally, the Zhaini army thought that they had a large number of people. Although the weapons were not good, there should be no problem if they were in danger.They have never seen that the army's artillery can be so powerful.When the dense artillery shells were like plowshares, turning up continuous patches of soil on the position, the number of casualties of the Zhaini army who had no experience in artillery defense naturally skyrocketed.

Chapter 986 It's A Thing

Facing the cavalry of the West Army attacking from behind the artillery fire, the Zhaini Army did not even have the will to resist.The weapons in their hands had long been thrown away. When the cold sabers of the enemy cavalry approached their eyes, they could only choose to raise their hands and surrender.There was confusion in the front three lines of defense, more and more Zhaini soldiers were captured, and the Zhaini commander in the back was in a hurry.Under the barrier of the fierce barrage, it was difficult for the troops in the rear lines of defense to support them, and they could only stare blankly.
