Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 710
"By the way, more than half of my tanks were destroyed by the damn British gunfire. Send a telegram to the rear to ask when my replenishment will arrive." Now Chen Jitang's eating looks much better, he asked while eating road.

"You still want tanks? If you don't send you to a court-martial, it's not bad! As a senior commander, you don't know how to coordinate operations and lead your armored corps to advance aggressively. It’s not too small.” Tang Shengzhi resisted the urge to kick him: “But the commander-in-chief said that you are allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. This time, the debt will be settled after India is finished. The 100 tanks that will be transferred from China will be replenished for you tomorrow. You can reach Delhi."

Chen Jitang laughed loudly: "It's still interesting to be the commander-in-chief, and the domestic logistics supplies are also really good. As soon as the tanks arrive, I will continue to set off. I have to drive around India."

"The commander-in-chief ordered you to fight all the way to Mumbai along the line of Kota and Duria after you rested, and gave you the right to move freely. At the same time, six fast mechanical supply teams will cooperate with you!" It seems that Tang Shengzhi is very dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief. Commander-in-Chief's decision, he muttered, "Commander-in-Chief, this is too cheap for you!"

"Haha!" Chen Jitang threw away the dry rations in his hands excitedly, and hugged Tang Shengzhi: "I will set off as soon as my follow-up tanks arrive. The commander-in-chief's decision is really wise!"

"Get out!" Tang Shengzhi pushed him away, squinting his eyes and asked, "With your current state, can you leave tomorrow?"

Chen Jitang laughed and turned his head to his subordinates: "Brothers, the commander-in-chief ordered us to set off to recover Mumbai tomorrow, can you still move!"

"No problem, the Panzer Corps is ready to fight at any time!" The armored soldiers replied loudly.

While the two senior generals were laughing and playing, Liu Changsheng, the head of the 402nd Regiment, escorted three British officers and walked over. Liu Changsheng held his chest up and held his toes high, like a hunter returning with a full reward.

"Liu Changsheng, what are you doing here if you aren't leading the battle!" Tang Shengzhi said loudly.

Liu Changsheng first paid a military salute to Tang Shengzhi and Chen Jitang, and then said triumphantly, "Report to the commander, we have captured some prisoners."

Tang Shengzhi raised his eyes and said, "What's so special about catching a few prisoners, and it's worth sending them to me?" Then he seemed to think of something suddenly: "Look at you, don't tell me you caught Pete? "

"Hehe, we did catch Pete!" Liu Changsheng said with a smile, "In addition, I also captured Colonel Joseph, Commander of the British Army Defense in Moradabad, and Major General Johnson, Commander of the 62nd Infantry Division of Kerda Heriot. , Commander, please give instructions!"

Tang Shengzhi opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything. He and Chen Jitang looked at each other, thinking that this kid was lucky this time, and the credit for this is boundless.

The three of Pete were escorted up, and Liu Changsheng saluted the two commanders again, then turned around and went out to continue fighting on the front line.

"General Pete, it's a great honor to see you again." Tang Shengzhi said with a smile, "But I don't have any good coffee for you here."

Chen Jitang looked at these British people coldly, holding back his anger. He and his brothers from the Panzer Corps nearly starved to death. If they died on the battlefield, it would be fine. The reputation of starving to death spread. This man is so lost.

Pete shrugged helplessly: "It seems that we have failed in this battle of the British Empire. We have failed the expectations of His Majesty the King and the British people. You and I are both gentlemen, so I don't want to be treated like a gentleman. And my men, if we can get preferential treatment, I will order the British soldiers who are still fighting in Derry to stop resisting and surrender to the Chinese army."

"That's the right thing to do." Tang Shengzhi smiled and said, "I can assure you that as long as your army can surrender in an orderly manner, we will also guarantee the personal safety of the prisoners of war."

Johnson seemed a little unwilling, he muttered: "Your numbers far exceed us, and we don't get any support. If you can give me another division, the balance of victory and defeat may be on our side tilt."

Tang Shengzhi said coldly: "It's useless to give you two more divisions. Our General Chen's troops are also fighting alone. His situation is much more difficult than yours, but he persisted to the end. Major General Johnson, The current war cannot be won by numbers, and the thinking of the British Army has been far behind the development of the war.”

Johnson looked at each other for a few times, and then stopped talking. Maybe the Chinese were right, when they attacked Delhi.His troops lost more than 1000 brave soldiers in the first attack. Could it be said that the thinking of the British army is really far behind?

At this time, there were only sporadic gunshots left outside the city of Delhi, and the soldiers of the Dragon Army began to clean up the battlefield.After more than 6 hours of fierce fighting, the Dragon Army wiped out the so-called New Crusaders.During the entire offensive and defensive battle in Delhi, the coalition forces were killed and injured more than 19 people, and [-] people were captured. The rest of the artillery and so on all fell into the hands of the Chinese.In the long line of prisoners, Lieutenant General Pete, the leader, looked around as he walked, as if trying to figure out what kind of army he had lost to.The victory in the Battle of Delhi also laid the foundation for China's complete victory in the Indian war, because at this time India no longer had many elite troops.

Mumbai.Nehru was kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, praying devoutly with tears streaming down his face.After receiving the news of the fall of Delhi, he did not curse the incompetence of his subordinates as before, and quietly brought a few guards to a famous Buddhist temple in Mumbai to offer incense and pray.Before coming, he also sent a telegram to the British Prime Minister's Office, informing the latest war situation in India, and asked Churchill to send stronger reinforcements to fight the dragon army to the death.But when the telegram was sent, it was like sinking into the sea, and his heart sank slowly as time passed.India, at this moment, has become the most lost empire in the world, and even the Buddha no longer favors this country famous for Buddhism.

Great victory for the Chinese Navy in the sea battle, and a disastrous defeat for the United Fleet!The dragon army swept through Delhi, the capital of India, with overwhelming force.As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread all over the world, and the people of the country rejoiced, and the coalition countries headed by the United Kingdom could no longer hold their heads up.

After China has proved its powerful sea power, it has once again proved that the Imperial Army is also invincible. Any force that dares to challenge China will be mercilessly hit!

The victory of the navy and the army, the news of the victory flew to Beijing like snowflakes, and the ministers in Beijing these days came to congratulate the emperor like a lantern. Everyone who entered and left the Forbidden City was beaming. On the Indian battlefield, the Dragon Army won The final victory is irreversible.According to this momentum, the brave dragon army can even reach Europe soon.

"Jiang Baili came to admonish according to the order." Wang Shangli shouted in front of the door, and Jiang Baili walked into the Qianqing Palace in a neat military uniform, and saluted the emperor respectfully.This time he had received a telegram from the emperor and rushed to Beijing by military plane. After getting off the plane, he went straight to the Forbidden City to meet the emperor.

Guan Xuqing sat quietly on the chair, looked at Jiang Baili with a smile and said for a long time, "Okay, the First World War in India is enough to prove that you are not a military officer who can only talk about wars on paper. I did not misunderstand you at the beginning. If the Indian War is fought If you win, Asia and the world will have a chain reaction, and the future strategy of the empire will be implemented easily."

Jiang Baili said sincerely: "Your Majesty, to be honest, before the war, the humble ministers were also sweating. If the empire wants to expand abroad, it will not work without a strong army. Fortunately, everything is thanks to the emperor's blessing. Very brave, even Weichen did not expect to progress so fast and achieve such great results. However, Weichen still has one thing that is unclear, and he wants to play it to the emperor."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I don't understand. The Indian war is halfway through. Why don't our missile troops use it?" Jiang Baili finally raised his own question after some deliberation.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "What's the rush, the country's sharp weapon should not be easily shown to others. The missile force is a secret force of the empire and must be directly under the Ministry of the Army. Their battle plan will naturally be assigned by the Ministry of the Army. You don't have to worry about this."

"Yes." Jiang Baili touched a nail that was neither hard nor soft, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Okay, it's victory anyway, so I won't talk about it for now." Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "Tell me about your next plan. I think the war in India will end as soon as possible."

Jiang Baili nodded and said: "I have ordered the troops on all fronts to launch a full-scale attack, and strive to end the battle before the end of October; plus the follow-up troops currently have 10 infantry in India, 80 tanks and armored vehicles, and 3700 artillery pieces of various types. With joint operations by aircraft, we are confident of winning the final victory."

"As for the war, you can just follow the orders of the Ministry of the Army. I will not interfere with this." Guan Xuqing touched his chin and said, "But you must keep in mind that after the Indian War is over, your troops will continue to stay in India. Hand orders, not even a single soldier can be disbanded."

Jiang Baili boldly asked: "Does the emperor mean that he wants to continue to expand to other countries and regions?"

Guan Xuqing didn't answer, but the moment Jiang Baili raised his head, he clearly caught the light in the emperor's eyes!

Early this morning, Zai Yi, who had been away on business for a long time, finally returned to Beijing.Zaiyi felt strangely heavy and excited at the same time.Along the way, he couldn't forget Liu Meier's lingering smile on Shili Chunfeng Street in Yangzhou Prefecture. Of course, he also had something on his mind that he couldn't let go of. Having made friends in private, he will always remember one thing, if he wants to get ahead in the court, he must have a group of people around him to support him, otherwise no one will care about him as a prince.
