Chapter 575 The 17th Division under the city of Bennu!

"Isn't it? The Sikhs have let us lose a lot, and how dare they get together with those Indians?" Next to him, a staff officer shouted loudly.

"There is nothing impossible. These Sikhs are now overwhelmed by us. Since someone is willing to cooperate with them, as long as they make some promises, we believe they are still willing to cooperate with these Indians of the same blood with them." Chief of Staff Chen Yanqun replied without raising his head. It is very precise and sharply pointed out the reasons why Sikhs are willing to cooperate with the Indians.

His opinion was quickly endorsed by most people present. That's right. Maybe under the secret connection of the British, those Indian earth kings are not sure that they are willing to admit that the Sikhs have their own country.

"Only such interests can make the struggling Sikhs stand with the Indians." A staff officer next to him immediately answered: "Now, the main force of the 17th Division of our army is now fighting against the Sikhs in the area of Bennu City, ready to occupy the current Sikh town of Baishawar. In addition to one regiment of the 17th Division in Multan City, there are only three militiamen left to assist in the defense, and a cavalry battalion is responsible for the guard. . However, the No.1 18th Division of Xinqu Women's City where we are located needs to control the upper reaches of the Ganges River Basin and compete with the Mughal Emperor [***] team in Lahor City. The only mobile force in our hands is the 19th Division and a cavalry reinforcement regiment.

Xie Yi's hand patted on the desk and took a deep breath: "Let the 17th Division withdraw from Bennu City, pretend to withdraw to Menzai City, and let a cavalry reinforcement regiment swimming in the Indus River Basin pick up and respond. After that, he turned to the east and asked the patrol fleet of the Indus River to help him cross the Indus River and forcibly occupy the city of Miyang Valley. I'd like to see what they can do.

Following the place names reported one by one in Xie Yi's mouth, the staff quickly marked the map. After confirming the location, they couldn't help but look happy. General Gao Jian said that if he could really occupy the city of Yanmyvari, it would even make these Indians more uncomfortable than to take down Besavare. It is located between the Sikhs and those Indian kings, and at the same time, it is closer to the three most important city states of the Indian Uttar Pradesh, Rawalpindi, Persava and Lahore. As long as we occupy this place, it is not only cutting off the way back of the Sikhs, but also equivalent to doing a live chess by ourselves. At that time, we think You can beat whoever you hit, and I'm afraid those Indians will be very uncomfortable.

"That being said, Multan City was safe at the end of the time. However, the city of Yanmyvali is targeted, which is equivalent to attracting the attention of all the enemies in northern India. The pressure of the 17th Division is too great. Chen Yanqun couldn't help taking a deep breath and raised his eyebrows into a Sichuan character.

"It doesn't matter. I believe that the 1st 17th Division, with the cooperation of the cavalry reinforcement regiment, as long as we can give enough oppression to the Mughal Empire, the Mughal Empire can't send too many troops to the north, with the 17th Division, there is an Indus patrol fleet as logistical support, and there is a cavalry reinforcement regiment on the periphery. Yes, the Indians can't eat it at all. Of course, our follow-up action must be fast. Xie Yi nodded Agra with his finger.

"General, do you mean... to fight against the Mughal Empire?!" Seeing the grind of Xie Yi's smile on the corners of his mouth, Liu Yixuan, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion, felt that the blue veins in his temples were beating fiercely.

"Well, since they have done the first day of junior high school, don't blame us for being the fifteenth. The Mughal Dynasty is a piece of fat meat we left temporarily, in order to rely on his patriarchal status to contain those Indian local kings, but now, they dare to unite with the British against us, so let's take him first. Let's start the operation. We should not only frighte the Indians in the two river basins, but also let the Westerners in southern India see it clearly. This is the end that annoys us!"

"Yes, I'm sure that the British can come here to connect secretly, I'm afraid that those Western colonists in the south will make a lot of contributions. I'm just afraid of being caught by our adults, so I just act secretly. I just don't know which countries are involved. A staff officer felt that his forehead was full of cold sweat.

You know, almost all the Western colonists who came to a dozen European countries in the east were driven to the Indian Peninsula by Liang Pengfei. Although they threw this large piece of fat to these Westerners, according to their greedy surnames that can never be filled, there will be problems sooner or later.

At that time, it was Liang Pengfei who took advantage of the greed and fear of these Western colonists, coupled with their hatred for Britain, that he brought the disaster to the British with the strongest colonial power in the East.

Now, these ungrateful guys have secretly colluded with the British to be unfavorable to the Chinese colonies stationed in the two river basins of the Indian Peninsula. In fact, this is not beyond Liang Pengfei's expectation at all.

"No matter how many countries participate, what we need to do is to use our rifles and artillery to let the Indians understand who is the owner of this land while ensuring the safety of every Chinese compatriot. In addition, tell those hidden piles, tell those high castes that they are willing to cooperate with us, as long as they can..." Xie Yi's voice gradually lowered, but from time to time in the room, there were bursts of gloomy laughter, and one new order after another quickly came from the emerging Chinese fortress of Xinqu Women's City. Going out to those Chinese colonial sites in the two river basins, a battle that will turn the ruling pattern of the whole north of India and even the whole Indian peninsula is about to begin.

--------------------

Boom...Boom...Boom... From time to time, a thunderous gunshot passed through the tributary in the upper reaches of the Indus River. Bennu, the strong city of the Sikhs had already become fragmented. The artillery exploded cracks one after another on the yellow-red wall, and you can even see some broken arms exploding. After the explosion, it collapsed in all directions.

The head of Bennu City, which was originally crowded by those Sikh armed forces, has become sparsely populated at this moment. It seems that the artillery fire of the 1st and 17th Division of the Indian Field Army of the Liang Family Army has already made them scared.

Zou Yu, the commander of the 17th Division, said a cigarette, threw the telescope to the guard beside him, hit a big stone and sat on it, enjoying the miserable scene of Bennu City.

"Master, when shall we launch the attack? It's already the second day. Look at those Sikhs, they have been blown up for a long time. We can definitely rush down. Yang Leiyan, the head of the 17th Division next to him, scratched his ears and cheeks.

Zou Yu reached out and touched a white and tender scar in the corner of his eyes. He shook his head and said coldly, "No, it's not the time yet. The morale of the Sikhs has not fallen to the lowest point. You see, there are still a lot of defenders on the city. If the brothers rush up, the casualties will certainly not be small."

Yang Leiyan said with some regret, "Master, how can there be no immortals in this war? Let's not rush. I'm afraid that if those Sikhs abandon the city and escape, won't we live in vain?"

"War is indeed going to kill people, but I only hope that it is the enemy who will die, not our brothers. You know, this is India, and there are thousands of miles by sea from our hometown. Brothers come here thousands of miles to protect our compatriots from those Indians and Western colonists.

Zou Yu's face seemed to be naturally cold, and he didn't even raise his eyelids. His voice was a little lazy, and he also looked very indifferent: "They fled and fled. What we need is to attack Bai Shawar, not to spend the brothers' lives to accumulate combat achievements for us on the way to march."

Hearing this, Yang Leiyan could only close his mouth obediently. Yang Leiyan admired the cold-faced division commander very much, not only because he was his own boss, but also that the 17th Division was the main division with the least reduction in staff among the three divisions of the Indian Field Army and the most outstanding meritorious.

He is the kind of division commander who looks at every soldier's family and brother, and it is because of this that the soldiers he brought out trust him extremely, just like trusting his father and elders.

In India, there have been many wars between the Chinese and those Indian kings and Sikhs in the past few years, and almost every time, the 17th Division is the main force, this time, the same.

"Your Excellency, someone is coming. It seems that someone from the military department is coming." From afar, he heard a sound of hooves coming this way. Yang Leiyan raised his head and saw a team of knights rushing towards this side. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person and said to Zou Yu.

"Master Zou, the emergency military order of the military department, please accept it." The leading knight rushed forward with the horse, jumped off the horse's back, reached out and wiped the sweat on his face. After saluting Zou Yu, he presented the military order tied to the inside of the belt.

Zou Yu calmly replied, reached out and took over the military order and read it. After seeing some shocking content on it, Zou Yu's expression did not change at all. Please go back and tell the commander that the 17th Division will definitely complete the task.

"Yes, Master Zou, take care. I have to go to the cavalry regiment to convey the order." After saluting the division commander again, the knight ran away again.

"Order to stop the shelling, shrink the troops' defenses, put on an offensive posture towards Bennu City, and wait for the night." Looking at the figure of the knight who was gradually moving away, Zou Yu ordered in a flat tone.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Yang Leiyan was a little puzzled. Zou Yu turned his head and slapped the military order in Yang Leiyan's hand. After reading it, I will transfer it to the Political Commissar and the Chief of Staff. We are going to leave here and rush to the new battlefield!"
