Chapter 975 Entering Kathmandu

Lopez guessed right. In the 11th year of Yongxing, not long after the Spring Festival, a joint fleet set off from Shanghai and headed straight for Panama.

Wu Changqing didn't care much about the establishment of the European Union, nor was he surprised.

After all, the history of civilization in this part of Europe has been around for a long time, and a large number of cultural people and politicians have also been born.

When there is no external threat, these politicians will fight each other for their own self-interest. And once there is an external threat, they can unite rationally.

Wu Changqing doesn't care, it doesn't mean other officials don't care.

Especially the people in the military, after holding back for so long, they just wanted to find a reason to expand the war.

The establishment of the European Union is their best reason.

Under the advocacy of the military, the European Union has been deified to the point where it can compete with Dahua. If you don't attack the European Union when it is still weak, you will lose your chance in the future.

This kind of nonsense, that is to say, not many officials believe it.

But this is not important. Most officials are inclined to go to war and expand at this time, so they just turn a blind eye to the military's nonsense and care about it lazily.

Not only officials support the expansion, but the voices of the people for expansion are also very high.

There may be many reasons, but one of the most important ones may be that the interests of those places that have been recovered have been robbed.

Continue to go to Fusang, those places in Annan to develop, and have to compete with the natives, which is not easy, and it is far less cost-effective than going to those places that have just been conquered.

After years of development, more and more people have the ability to go overseas to grab a piece of the pie, and these people are also the main force supporting expansion.

There are also some passionate people who are obsessed with the power of Dahua and cannot extricate themselves from the complex of regaining their homeland. These people also support expansion and take back all their homeland as soon as possible.

With the promotion of public opinion and sufficient strength, sending troops became a matter of course.

The main body of this troop dispatch is the navy, and the army is small in number, with only one brigade and thousands of people.

Moreover, it is still an ordinary brigade, with only a few communication vehicles and three armored vehicles used to attack fortifications just in case, and the rest are infantry.

Moving troops across the Pacific Ocean is not easy and costly.

Otherwise, Dahua would not wait until now to make a large-scale move to the Americas.

From Dahua to Panama, it will take about two months.

Therefore, it will take at least four months for those who are seeing off at the port to hear news from Panama again.

Dahua's telegrams have spread to Europe, but not to America.

Messages must be delivered in the most primitive way.

Unlike India, which has already laid wires, the situation of the war can always be quickly spread to the Central Plains for newspapers.

In the eleventh year of Yongxing, on January 10, the Chinese army finished its training and continued to carry out military operations.

Previously, they had recovered Jijrat, Madhya Pradesh, Mahalla and other areas.

On the entire South Asian subcontinent, only Bangalore and Nepal have not been recovered.

After regaining these places, the Chinese army can enter the Pakistan region and wipe out the remnants of the Mughal Empire.

On the 15th, a division of the Chinese Army crossed the mountains and reached the edge of the Kathmandu Valley.

This valley is almost the essence of the whole of Nepal, where the population gathers. Occupying here is equivalent to occupying Nepal.

In other remote places, it is only necessary to send a few people to declare sovereignty, and it is almost done.

In those remote places, Dahua didn't expect to receive much tax, as long as those people don't rebel and make trouble, they can live in peace and contentment.

The only place that needs to be controlled is the Kathmandu Valley.

Kathmandu at this time was in the era of the Three Kingdoms during the Mara Dynasty.

After Yaximala's death, his three sons split into three factions, one of which was in a melee.

Although the overall strength is not very good, but he is tough and martial by nature.

This is also the reason why the previous Mughal Empire did not conquer here, the difficulty is not small, and the benefits are not great.

"Blow up that mountain gate."

After arriving in Kathmandu, the Chinese army did not take advantage of the conflicts among the three parties to make a fuss. It was unnecessary, just fight and finish.

Qi Feng is the territory of Pathan, one of the three forces, and it is also the final pass to defend against foreign enemies.

Although the people in Patan mainly live in the valley, they are not stupid, knowing that there is no danger in the valley. Therefore, on the hilltop of Qifeng, a city wall was built relying on the terrain.

This kind of city wall is far less tall than the cities in the plains, but it is more dangerous.

If a cold weapon force were to attack this place, it would be impossible to win without paying ten times the casualties of the defenders.

And now.

The Chinese army's artillery adjusted its angle and aimed at the city gate and bombarded continuously.

After dozens of shells, the city gate was blown to pieces.

"Fire cover, stormtroopers rush in."

As soon as the words fell, the Chinese troops hiding behind the bunkers emerged one after another and fired at the wall to prevent the enemy's archers from firing arrows.

In this not-so-large area, hundreds of archers shoot arrows at the same time, and the power should not be underestimated.

In order to avoid casualties, when dealing with this cold weapon force, the Chinese army even carefully hid behind obstacles and used fire cover to charge, which was a bit deceptive.

Facing the constant bullets, the archers of the Ni army could only squat down quickly. Those who tried to fight back fell down before the arrows were shot.

Against the cover of the Chinese army's firepower to counterattack, the Indian army did not dare to be so arrogant.

Without the obstruction of the archers, the assault team of the Chinese army easily arrived at the gate of the city and entered the gate.

It has been a long, long time since the Chinese army has done such things as climbing the city wall, and there is no such event in daily training.

After rushing to the city gate, a large number of arrows were shot head-on, causing the leading soldiers to be hit by arrows one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a submachine gun sounded, accompanied by some screams.

The archers who blocked the gate of the city and tried to stop the Chinese army suffered disaster.

Under the fire of submachine guns, they didn't even have a chance to shoot a second arrow.

Once these archers die, other infantry will be even more unable to stop the Chinese army.

They couldn't reach the front of the Huajun, so they were beaten into a hornet's nest.

After only one wave of rushing, seeing the plight of the soldiers rushing ahead, the other soldiers turned around and ran away.

Whether a person or an army is fierce and fearless depends on the opponent.

When facing the Mughal army of the same level of combat power, the Nepalese army looked very sturdy.

However, in the face of Dahua, whose strength is one level higher, the Nepalese army seems to be no different from other armies that like to surrender.
