Chapter 942 Surrounding
"This is just an excuse that Dahua casually made up. Your Majesty, what should we do now. Dahua's army has already assembled, and it seems that it is inevitable."
Cabinet Secretary Singer reminded.
In the current Mughal Empire, even the political system is imitated by Dahua, with a cabinet.
It's just that the details are different.
"What else can I do? Of course, fight. Is it possible that I will surrender directly like a Siamese coward?"
Aurangzeb let out a cold snort, and it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender directly like Nalai.
The current Mughal Empire has grown stronger and stronger under his rule.
If there is no foreign enemy like Dahua, his governance is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, leaving a "ZTE" evaluation.
Coupled with ignorant education, the people of India are quite satisfied with Aurangzeb's ruling.
Looking at his achievements, Aurangzeb is actually a little proud in his heart, thinking that he has done a good job.
He originally wanted to create a false appearance to deceive ordinary people, but in deception, he himself was actually a little bit lost.
He thought that the development of the Mughals was his credit, but he didn't know that it was only due to the radiation effect of Dahua's development, and had nothing to do with him.
Such achievements can be achieved by just changing someone to manage it and relying on Dahua.
Singer and other ministers didn't know what to say when they heard the words. Anyway, they didn't believe that they could win the fight.
However, they also knew that this battle had to be fought.
It is a big joke that the huge Mughal Empire surrendered without a fight.
There are many things that I know can't be done, but I have to do it.
When the main battle was determined, Aurangzeb and those cabinet ministers began to study specific tactics.
At the same time, the staff of the Chinese army is also studying and laying out the "immortal" line of defense to attack the Mughal Empire.
The so-called Immortal Line of Defense is the name of the Mughal Empire.
They built a large number of fortifications along the border with Bangladesh.
Among them, ditches, barbed wire, tunnels, bunkers and other measures were used.
These are all methods accumulated and summarized by Mughal based on intelligence and his own combat experience.
Building such fortifications can effectively reduce casualties.
This line of defense was hundreds of kilometers long and more than a dozen kilometers deep, employing hundreds of thousands of people and costing countless dollars.
In the official propaganda of the Mughal Empire, this line of defense was impenetrable.
But in Huajun's view, that's all.
It has some effect, but it is far from indestructible.
At least, in the eyes of the generals of the Chinese army, this line of defense is full of loopholes.
"Let the navy help directly, break through from the Ganges, and attack behind them. Their defense line can only defend against frontal attacks, and has no effect on attacks behind them."
A Chinese army staff officer said.
Dahua's scouts have already used hot air balloons, infiltration, bribery and other methods to get a clear picture of Mughal's immortal defense line.
"It can also concentrate firepower, break through a point, and then go around the enemy's back from this gap, encircling the enemy in the defense line."
Another staff officer said.
As long as the firepower is concentrated, the fortifications of the Mughal Empire are a joke.
The only downside to this method is that it costs a little money.
The idea of the Chinese army breaking through the immortal line of defense is to hit behind it, then surround it and launch an attack from behind.
After determining this idea, the next step is the specific combat plan.
On the 20th, the Chinese army launched an offensive.
With the help of the Chinese army, two infantry divisions broke through the Ganges and then attacked from behind.
Two armored divisions attacked Budvan on the front. After breaking through, the armored divisions quickly penetrated and circled behind the enemy.
The other two divisions went to the southern line to implement a comprehensive encirclement.
Another armored division was on standby, ready to pursue any fleeing enemy troops.
This time they not only wanted to break through the line of defense, but also wiped out the 100,000 Mughal soldiers in the line of defense.
Hundreds of thousands of troops moved at the same time, and the momentum was extremely huge.
In particular, Lord Budwan's Third Expeditionary Army had as many as two hundred field artillery pieces.
When the war broke out, the artillery was the first to attack.
A large number of shells began to pour on the 201 hills in Budvan.
With a loud bang, a shell landed on the position of the Mughal Empire, directly blowing up a section of barbed wire.
There was another loud bang, and a shell landed in the position, blasting a big crater.
A shell landed on a bunker, instantly overturning the bunker, and immediately the soldiers evaporated from the world.
…
The soldiers of the Mughal Empire hid in tunnels and bunkers, shivering.
The top military officials have been promoting the Immortal Line of Defense as indestructible and impossible for the Chinese army to break through.
Originally, those soldiers believed it, but when Dahua's shell fell, their confidence was instantly torn apart.
It's too powerful.
Dahua's field gun has been improved again, with larger caliber, lighter weight and stronger power.
Now Dahua is equipped with 90mm, 35 times the caliber cannon.
this artillery
The initial velocity of the shell can reach 500 meters per second, and the range is about 6 kilometers.
Not to mention the kind of dark fort built by the Mughal Empire, even the fortifications built by Dahua with cement cannot withstand the bombardment of this kind of shells.
The vibrations on the ground continued to spread into the tunnel, and some recruits were so frightened that they peed their pants.
For these recruits, Dahua's artillery is the most terrifying weapon.
"Look at how cowardly you are. When you encounter the machine guns of the Chinese army, you will probably be scared to death."
A veteran sneered.
Are artillery scary? horrible.
However, no matter how terrifying it is, it can't compare with the heavy machine gun of the Chinese army. That is the battlefield harvester.
"Shut up Joe Khan, if you talk nonsense, be careful and I'll beat you up."
An officer scolded that the recruits were about to collapse, and to scare them at such a time was really adding fuel to the fire.
"Battalion Commander, why is the artillery of the Chinese army still not stopping? Why is it that the shells don't cost money?"
"It seems that the Chinese army is preparing to attack."
"General attack, what about our reinforcements, when will they arrive?"
…
Out of panic, none of these soldiers could calm down.
"Don't worry, don't look at the current artillery fire of the Chinese army. In fact, not many people will be killed. Our soldiers are hiding in the tunnel, which is very safe. When they start charging, our artillery will be powerful. Moreover, the king has already A large army has been dispatched, and it will arrive within a few days."
The battalion commander is still doing all kinds of flickering, in order to give these ordinary soldiers some confidence and make them forget their fear of the Chinese army.
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, a shell landed directly above them.
Bombs exploded, the tunnels were damaged and began to collapse.
