Chapter 578 The War of Harassment Begins!
"These idiots, a group of idiots who only know how to twist their buttocks on a woman's belly, don't they know what a fighter is?" Sitting in his tent, Colonel Foreman angrily threw his beautiful silver-white wig aside, revealing an ugly Mediterranean-like bald head.
Next to, Artillery Lieutenant Colonel Karu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Colonel, if we had enough power now, we would not have acted with these fools. But now, our strength in India is too weak. We have tried our best to get together. Point the army, since it does not have an advantage in the number of troops, how can these equally arrogant Hindusthans follow our advice?
"Those Chinese are really shameless. They don't have any gentlemanly demeanor at all. They actually used such a despicable means as a sneak attack." Colonel Freeman sat feebly in the chair, like a dying old lion with his mane about to fall off.
"However, if we can eliminate the Chinese army in Miyangari, we can indeed greatly improve the morale of this coalition. As the saying goes, there are both disadvantages and benefits. It seems that we can only do this." Lieutenant Colonel Karu advised. After all, we are not only proud of the British emperor, but also for our Prime Minister William Jr. Mr. Pete, if he hadn't managed to persuade Congress to pass the bill, we might only be able to waste time in Penang.
Colonel Foreman showed a bitter smile: "I hope nothing will happen again, dear Karu. I always feel that if we turn north this time, I'm afraid we will never have a chance to approach Multan City again. I hope I'm not a hunch, just my own nonsense.
"Of course, it's just your nonsense. To be honest, I don't think those Chinese can do anything under such a siege. As long as we can win, our European compatriots will definitely stand on our side. At that time, they will be united by us. Get up and erase the last glimmer of hope from the Indian mainland!" Confidently, Lieutenant Colonel Carou stood up and left the camp after saying goodbye to Colonel Foreman.
"Are you sure?" Lu Renjia, the commander of the third regiment of the 17th Division of Multan City, raised his eyes to confirm whether he had heard it wrong. After seeing the scout who came back in a hurry and nodded with certainty, Lu Renjia couldn't help taking a breath and slapped the earthy yellow wall brick of Multan City and scolded excitedly, "Damn it, It seems that the division commanders have taken the city of Miyangari, otherwise these Indian indigenous coalitions would not have retreated so quickly.
"They retreated, so it represents a problem. The city of Myanvali is bound to be surrounded by the Indian indigenous coalition forces." The staff of the regiment hummed like this. That is to say, the division commanders are using themselves as bait to attract the attention of the Indian indigenous coalition.
--------------------
"I really don't understand the order of this army. Even if the division commanders down the city of Miyangari and threatens the back of the Indian indigenous coalition, so what?" Lu Renjia twisted his eyebrows with a headache.
Since these days, all the Chinese people in the villages around Multan City have moved into the solid Multan City, and the militias in those villages have also gathered together to cooperate with the third regiments of the 17th Division to defend Multan City. However, the total strength is only 5,000. There are about people, and their opponents, the total number of those Indian aboriginal coalitions, is as high as sixty or seventy-seven thousand, but more than ten times as many of them.
Although Lu Renjia has the confidence to defend Multan City, confidence does not mean that he has strength. After all, most of the militiamen have never seen blood on the battlefield at all, and it is really difficult for the 3,000 people of their three regiments to defend Multan City.
But now the situation has changed because of the active attack of the 17th Division, and Multan City will not be in danger for at least a short time. And Lu Renjia was worried about the division commander of the 17th Division.
Only two regiments of the 1 17th Division have a division. Even if the cavalry reinforcement regiment is added, the number is only a little more than 10,000, and since they use themselves as bait, the cavalry can only be used as infantry. The city of Mianvali is not a strong city. How can it resist the attack of the coalition forces seven or eight times?
"I think the military department should have other plans, right?" The staff officer of the regiment continued to say this again, adjusting Lu Renjia's appetite: "I said, brother, please don't talk half-heartedly?"
"I'm afraid the military department wants to beat the Mughal Empire down." He is white and fat. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a kind gentry. Fang Yuan's staff member smiled extremely obscenely.
"Ah? I said, Brother Fang, didn't you take the wrong medicine? Now those Indian natives and British bastards secretly unite to fight with us. We are on the defensive. How dare you say that the commanders want to clean up the Mughal Empire? Lu Renjia felt that he had an impulse to smoke this regimental staff officer who was full of bad water.
"I'm just guessing. Who asked you to ask me?" Fang Yuan blinked innocently with a very wronged expression. Besides, bold assumptions and careful verification, this is the words of the head of state, and we staff officers must keep in mind.
"Damn it! I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to practice those militiamen. Hearing this, Lu Renjia rolled his eyes and turned around speechlessly. What he didn't expect was that the headquarters of the Indian Field Army happened to have such an idea.
"Master Zou, what should we do now? What do you want our cavalry reinforcement regiment to do? You just have to order it. The order of the military department is to let our regiment wait for your deployment. In the main house of the city of Miyangvali, Peng Shijie, the commander of the cavalry regiment, sat opposite Zou Yu, who was swallowing food. He looked at the devouring division commander of the 17th, with a trace of usual hippie smile and a trace of respect in his tone.
"Is that what the military commander gave you?" Zou Yu looked up at Peng Shijie and continued to deal with the food in the bowl.
"Yes, the military commander ordered our cavalry regiment to cooperate with the 1st and 17th Division to capture Miyangvali, and then listen to your deployment." Peng Shijie handed over a cigarette with a dry smile. Master, you're not angry with your little brother, are you?
"Why am I angry with you? You can take the city of Miyangari in the shortest time, so that our army can have more time to consolidate the city defense. I'm too late to be happy. I blame you for what you did. Besides, you did not violate the military order of the military commander." He swallowed the last bite of the meal, wiped his mouth, took the cigarette handed over by Peng Shijie, and said calmly.
"Hey hey, that's, how dare I disobey the military order." Hearing Zou Yu's words, he was afraid that Zou Yu would feel that he was grabbing credit, and Peng Shijie, who wore his little shoes, couldn't help but be relieved.
"Your cavalry regiment will also take a day off in the city of Myanvali first. Got it. Get out of here." After taking a deep breath of cigarette, Zou Yu frowned and thought for a moment and said.
"Huh? Master Zou, what do you mean by this? Hearing that the cavalry regiment that assisted the 17th Division to defend the city of Miyangvali was to be driven out of the city, Peng Shijie couldn't help staring.
"You are cavalry. Staying in the city of Miyangari is equivalent to a bunch of infantry." Zou Yu raised his head and stared at Peng Shijie and said word by word, "I have seen the city around the city. With my two regiments and the troops of the division, it is enough to complete the four defenses. It's really a waste for you to stay here."
--------------------
Hearing this, Peng Shijie couldn't help but sit in danger. Master Zou, what do you mean..."
"I believe that with the combat effectiveness of your cavalry regiment, the army that wants to trap your hands and feet in the land of India has not yet formed an army." Zou Yu's finger clicked on the map, and then drew a circle in the southeast of Miyangali.
Hearing Zou Yu's words, Peng Shijie couldn't help but brighten up. Division Chief Zou, do you mean... let our cavalry regiment interfere on the periphery and delay the time, so that those Indian indigenous coalitions can't do their best to attack Mianwali?"
"How's it going? Do you have confidence? If you don't want to, you can treat yourself as an infantry and guard the city here. Zou Yu raised his eyebrows and said lightly to Peng Shijie.
"Yes, of course, Mr. Zou, don't worry. Those indigenous coalition forces will be handed over to our cavalry regiment to make sure to let them know how powerful we are." Peng Shijie nodded repeatedly with joy.
Zou Yu solemnly said to Peng Shijie with a straight face, "Remember, your task is just to disturb, not to let you get people's lives. If you can't do anything, you will leave the periphery of Miyangari. At that time, your regiment will go north, east, and even west, and disturb those indigenous Indian settlements fiercely so that they will not be safe. We have the Indus fleet to supply along the river, so you don't have to be afraid of being trapped.
The next morning, when the Indian indigenous coalition turned north, Peng Shijie led the cavalry reinforcement regiment to leave Miyanvali, which was strengthening the city, and thousands of iron riders rushed south.
When the Chinese cavalry regiment, which was as fast as thunder and lightning, took only one day, the vanguard found the trace of the Indian indigenous coalition on the Indu Plain.
After that, the Chinese cavalry, who came and went like the wind, relying on their own mechanical power, as well as the sharp sabers and guns, were like a group of banditmen and a group of crazy hornets, and frequently launched harassment actions against the large and bloated Indian indigenous coalition.
