Fifth SS Panzer Division, advance!
... ...
Xie Hui stood up, glanced at his subordinates whose eyes were ablaze with fervent flames, and smiled slightly before saying in a low voice: "SS, advance!"
The deafening sound of cannon fire was, to the veterans of the Imperial Army, nothing short of a delight; some of them even hummed a tune amidst the noise. However, for the new recruits of the 108th and 109th Divisions, it was sheer torment. Their eardrums buzzed from the impact, and as they covered their ears, they couldn't help but wonder: were the veterans' ears made of iron?
The artillery holds an overwhelming advantage, with more than 6,000 pieces. The armored forces belong to the SS Chinese Armored First Army; those massive and terrifying steel monsters render the so-called armored forces of the Mughal Empire utterly defenseless in their presence. Most alarming is the more than 200 fighter jets stationed at the military bases of the five countries in India, which can take off at any moment to unleash a barrage of attacks on the Mughal Empire's homeland
... ...
What should we do, what should we do? His chief of staff said anxiously: The enemy has a superior force and their offensive is too strong; our soldiers simply cannot withstand it
As the artillery bombardment came to an end, with a command from the general headquarters, the soldiers of the vanguard divisions of the 108th and 109th Armies leaped out of the trenches. These young Chinese soldiers, brandishing bayonets, charged towards the enemy's positions with loud cries.
Over two thousand artillery pieces of the Chinese army stationed at the front line fired simultaneously, shaking the earth and mountains, as smoke filled the entire battlefield. Under the powerful bombardment of the Chinese artillery, the Mughal Empire's artillery units offered only symbolic resistance before falling completely silent, losing all combat capability
At this moment, the offensive had already commenced, and all units had their respective tasks. The only available forces on the battlefield that could be mobilized were the 1st Chinese Panzer Division of the SS, which had not engaged in combat since the outbreak of hostilities.
The SS is the sword of the leader, an invincible torrent of steel on the battlefield, only present in the most dangerous times, in the most perilous places. They will only appear where they are most needed, at the times they are most required.
When the command reached Xie Hui's hands, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xie He-Tu-Shu's mouth. Since the battle began until now, he had not had any personal involvement; he had to thank Marshal Asleiman for finally providing him with such an exhilarating opportunity
It has a total of 385,000 army personnel and 550 various types of artillery. The armored forces consist of 78 old armored vehicles sold by China. There is no air force or navy. With the support of China, it is the most powerful country among the five nations of India and has instigated two wars among these five nations
Under the powerful assault of the Chinese military, the enemy's resistance was feeble, and soon both defensive lines of the Mughal Empire on the front line were completely breached
Asleiman has a relatively clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield. The number of Chinese troops deployed in the five countries of India is 80,000 in the army. Although this number is not large, their advanced equipment, high morale, and battle-hardened experience surpass that of soldiers from any other country
"Order, commence continuous bombing of the Mughal army as the aircraft takes off." Duan Qirui studied the map for a moment and commanded, "Order the First Chinese Armored Army of the SS to launch an attack!"
The dire situation regarding the Yalunuman army and the maps was reported to Commander-in-Chief Duan Qirui at the earliest opportunity. Duan Qirui immediately discerned Asleiman's true intention, which was to divert the attention of the Chinese army towards the Yalunuman front, thereby maximizing the delay of the Chinese army's offensive.
On February 6, 1925, at 8 a.m., with the launch of three red signal flares, the action of the Imperial Chinese pacification forces officially commenced
This situation left General Slater, the commander of the Arunyuman army, utterly astonished. The Mughals were indeed too cunning, choosing to focus their efforts on this side despite the risk of their front line being breached. General Slater was fully aware of the combat capabilities of his subordinates.
The Yarunuman army did not anticipate that the enemy's main attack direction would actually be towards them. Under the enemy's first frenzied assault, the Yarunuman army was thrown into disarray, retreating in chaos.
SS, attack
After declaring war on China, the Mughal Empire stationed 250,000 troops along the front line, along with all its artillery and armored units, almost making a desperate effort with the strength of the entire nation. The commander-in-chief was Army General As Asleiman, who had distinguished himself in the two Five Nations Wars.
Facing the defensive line of the Chinese army, two divisions were to be deployed. Asleiman made an effort to maintain his composure in front of his subordinates: "Concentrate all forces on the southwestern defense line"
His advisor was taken aback: "Your Excellency, the formidable offensive capability of the Chinese army is such that even the British forces of that time were no match. Is it not rather hasty of you to only deploy two armies here?"
Asleyman is a seasoned professional soldier, having accumulated over ten years of military experience during the British presence in India. With a head full of white hair and a monocle in one eye, he still retains many habits of an officer from the British Army.
Asleiman gave a bitter smile: "It is precisely because of the strength of the Chinese army that we are undoubtedly destined to lose, no matter how we fight. To the southwest are the troops of Yalunuman; defeating them is still within our grasp. We can only hope that our attack on Yalunuman will draw the attention of the Chinese, as that is our only chance to prolong the war"
However, at that moment, the main forces of the Mughal Empire, which had been concealed under the cover of artillery fire, simultaneously launched an assault on the army of Arunyuman positioned at www.hetushu.com.
Compared to the Chinese military, the 50,000 troops of the Kingdom of Ayalu Numan in the southwest are much easier to deal with... During the two wars involving five nations, if it had not been for China's intervention at the most critical moments, the kingdom's army would have long been defeated, and Ayalu Numan would have already been incorporated into the territory of the Mughal Empire
Yet this old marshal still does not understand why His Majesty the Emperor would offend China. Does he not realize that opposing the powerful Chinese army is tantamount to digging his own grave? However, since the Emperor has appointed him to command this battle, as a professional soldier, he can only repay the Emperor's trust with his life.
The Mughal Empire, one of the five nations of India, with its capital in Delhi. With the support of the Chinese Empire, after the disintegration of India, Akbar became its first emperor, serving as a vassal state of the Chinese Empire
At this time, Asleiman had already deployed all his main forces to the Western Front. Can one armored army really halt the enemy's advance?
General Slatter paced restlessly in the command center for quite some time before finally stopping and saying: "Request assistance from the Chinese military and ask them to send reinforcements immediately"
