The subcontinent's ultimatum to the Japanese army soon arrived.
But the Chinese people huddled in Mumbai did not respond.
Peng Yulin knew that he had to fight again.
Chen Yucheng has been a little depressed these past two days because the Holy King asked him and the Holy Army not to be so active in the next battle to attack Mumbai.
As a relatively pure general, Chen Yucheng did not want this.
Because Bombay started to hold back the coalition forces without giving it to the Holy Kingdom, Chen Yucheng was a bit unable to do such a thing.
The places they conquered before were all owned by the Holy Army.
However, neither the New Gurkha Army nor the Royal Army of Myanmar responded passively.
In addition, what Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng said was not to be active. What do you mean by not being active?
On the battlefield, either obey military orders or passively respond to them, which is a violation of military orders.
In this matter, Chen Yucheng felt that Shi Dakai had gone too far.
The most outstanding performance in this war was the Gurkha New Army. As a commando in this battle, they controlled the rhythm of the attack very well.
Every link is perfectly connected.
Later some details of the war reached Europa.
The reputation of the Gurkha mercenaries was established.
In the following time, their presence was active in almost all major wars in Europe.
Even the Chinese later hired Gurkha mercenaries.
The "buzz buzz" sound sounded again.
Sir Canning refused to hide in the basement this time, which was a great humiliation for him.
He has discovered the pattern. This airship looks huge, but in fact it does not carry many bombs.
However, this thing has no solution now. Domestic factories must be allowed to manufacture a weapon that can restrain it.
He could imagine how much panic it would cause if something like this appeared over London.
Even if it drops just one war bomb, the result would be disastrous.
This mysterious Eastern country is becoming even more mysterious now.
"Your Excellency, Governor, you should hide in the basement for the time being." At this time, Campbell, the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, came over.
Commander Campbell didn't seem too panicked.
Yes, the war has been fought to this point, and there is no suspense about failure.
The reason why the Japanese army persisted was actually because neither Canning nor Campbell wanted to propose surrender first.
One of them is the governor-general and the other is the commander-in-chief of the army, so they are both qualified to propose surrender.
But neither of them is stupid. Whoever brings it up first will undoubtedly have heavier responsibilities in the future.
"No, General Campbell, I'm standing here. The coalition's bombs can't kill me." Earl Canning said, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Governor, has there been no reply from the country yet? If this continues, there will be no need for enemy bombing. I think all of us will die here."
"Then we will fight to the death with the coalition forces. The soldiers of the Great Empire should have such a bloody spirit." Count Canning said.
Campbell originally wanted to discuss surrender with him. After all, the war had reached this point and there was no point in continuing the fight.
With the current fighting style of the coalition forces, even if the entire army of the Yin army is destroyed, it will not cause much damage to the opponent.
The biggest problem caused by the airship force is that the enemy's artillery cannot be used.
As a result, the Koreans could only fight an asymmetrical battle with great disparity in power under the artillery fire of the coalition forces.
In the final battle, Peng Yulin did not want to continue dragging the enemy with them. Following the bombing of the airship, the coalition soldiers advanced step by step.
In the end, Chen Yucheng couldn't save his face and sat on the mountain to watch the fight between the tigers. The Holy Army was solely responsible for the attack in the north of Mumbai.
After five days of fighting, the coalition forces successfully broke through the defensive perimeter set up by the Japanese army outside Bombay.
The battle is now taking place inside the city of Mumbai.
This city has a long history. When the Portuguese first arrived in India, they began to operate here.
There are several defensive fortresses in the city.
Moreover, most of the buildings in Mumbai are solid masonry structures.
This is conducive to the enemy's street fighting in the city. Strong buildings weaken the role of artillery.
Of course, the coalition forces did not have the luxury to use artillery to blow up the city.
Despite the support of airships, the fighting on the battlefield was still fierce.
The Renaissance Army, together with some Northern Alliance troops, was responsible for the offensive in the eastern part of Mumbai city.
This is not the only main direction of attack.
The city of Mumbai is close to the sea on one side and has no natural defense barriers to rely on on the other three sides.
"Be careful!" Dong Xiaolin suddenly kicked the rock dragon.
The two men occupied a four-story building in the east of the city, which was originally a police station for the Han people.
After the defense line advanced here, Dong Xiaolin led a sniper team to occupy this position.
Yanlong is now a sniper under Dong Xiaolin.
And based on his military exploits, he has been promoted to a non-commissioned officer.
When the war ends and he returns to China, he will have the opportunity to be sent to the Special Warfare Academy by the Gaoyou Lake to study.
After graduating from the military academy, he will be a serious officer.
The current officers of the Renaissance Army must be graduates of the military academy. If you cannot go to the military academy, the most you can do is become a senior sergeant.
However, the status of a senior master sergeant is no less valuable than that of an officer.
Noncommissioned officers are more professional soldiers, and senior noncommissioned officers generally serve as instructors for a certain service.
Some are also instructors for the entire army. They are similar to Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army.
Lin Chong was not an officer, but the title of the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army seemed to be very resounding.
Yanlong's goal is to become an officer because he wants to gain enough status to marry the young nurse Yiyu.
Yiyu is not a vain little girl, but when Yanlong heard about Yiyu's family conditions, he still felt that his current situation would bring grievances to Yiyu.
As a man, how can he let the woman he truly loves suffer even a little bit of injustice?
"Bang..." A bullet was fired where Yanlong had been, hitting the wall of the attic on the top of the building.
"Yanlong, what are you thinking about? The most important thing for a sniper is not accurate marksmanship, but awareness. This awareness also includes awareness of danger. Without awareness of danger, how can you save your life on the battlefield? Do you think a dead person can still sniper?
Kill the enemy?"
In fact, the rock dragon was pretty well hidden just now.
But his intuition told Dong Xiaolin that it would be dangerous to speak out, so he kicked Yanlong.
The Chinese also have excellent snipers.
Many of these Korean expeditionary forces are veterans who have been recruited for the second time. These people have very rich actual combat experience, and it is not surprising that there are some sniper masters among them.
But I didn't expect to meet it here.
They are only two hundred meters away from the barricade where the two sides are facing each other.
This distance is just right for a sniper.
At this time, it is generally difficult for infantry to hit an enemy who is shooting from covertly two hundred meters away.
But snipers can almost always hit the target.
So their sniper team will choose here.
Yanlong is Dong Xiaolin's new team member, so Dong Xiaolin usually puts him in the shooting position next to him.
So that he can correct his tactical mistakes at any time.
Yanlong's shooting sense is very good, but he has not received professional sniper training.
So when he was lurking just now, his body was not completely protected, which gave the enemy an opportunity.
"Thank you, Captain Dong." Yanlong said with lingering fear.
Today he had another lesson. Fortunately, Captain Dong was there to guide him, otherwise he would have to pay for the lesson today with his own health or life.
No matter what you do, it is very important to have a teacher who is willing to teach you sincerely. This can save you a lot of detours.
"In the future, you must pay attention to being a qualified sniper. The first thing you do on the battlefield is to protect yourself. No matter how dangerous the mission is, you must first think of your own escape route. You must also separate yourself during the battle.
More than half of the energy is spent on ensuring one's own safety." Hiding behind the bunker, Dong Xiaolin taught Yanlong the essentials of sniper tactics as quickly as possible.
"I understand, Captain Dong." Yanlong accepted the instruction sincerely.
"Captain, I feel that the person should be in the ten o'clock direction. There is a three-story building there. The roof has collapsed. But only half of it collapsed. The sniper should be in this half-collapsed gap."
Yanlong recalled how he felt the moment he was attacked. Through this feeling, he was able to determine the location of the enemy. This was his personal talent.
"I know, but he's not there now."
"Captain, that location is very good. I think the Korean will not give up there."
"Yanlong, you have to learn to give up on the battlefield. If you think the place is good, the enemy can also see that the place is good. Okay, this is the second lesson for you today."
"Get ready. Change places with me. Dahu and Zhuzi stay here. After I shoot there, you can continue sniping here." Dong Xiaolin made a simple deployment of the entire team.
Now that the other party has set its sights on you, you must make corresponding changes on your side.
The sniper is a unit that emphasizes flexibility.
"Buzz buzz..."
After returning to the rear and loading the artillery shells, the airship troops returned to the front line again.
Liu Pengfei couldn't remember how many times they had carried out bombing missions.
These days of bombing have also allowed Liu Pengfei and the others to sum up more experience.
For example, how to lower the flying altitude as much as possible will have a great impact on the airship's hit rate.
The originally set height was a theoretical height, which was a bit too conservative.
Liu Pengfei discovered on the battlefield that they could lower their flying altitude even lower.
In addition, in the use of machine guns, short bursts and long bursts can be used alternately.
Short bursts can be used to calibrate shots, and long bursts can be used to kill.
Because the airship is in a moving state most of the time, the target must be calibrated every time it is shot.
Of course, some machine gunners have completely found the feeling. They can save the correction of short bursts of fire completely through mental calculation.
There are also issues with the accuracy of shooting and bombing.
When your friendly forces and the enemy are fighting together, the airship cannot provide direct support.
It can only block the enemy's subsequent troops.
Because when the two sides get too close, it is easy to cause accidental damage to their own friendly forces.
Now the army on the ground has entered the street fighting stage.
The two sides fought at various city entrances in Mumbai.
The airship can only choose the military camps in the city as its main targets, as well as those suspected enemy warehouses.
But now they can't find any targets in the city.
Peng Yulin did not allow the airship troops to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the city of Mumbai.
Because the Renaissance Army is preparing to turn Mumbai into a free city in the Dahua Circle.
This place will be completely and unconditionally open to all countries in the Greater China Circle.
Its military will be managed by the army organized by the Greater China Circle.
Politically, a management committee is formed by people from each country.
This is another new attempt by Dong Shuheng.
The purpose of this attempt is to strengthen the ties between the entire Greater China Circle.
Mumbai is a place that can be regarded as a link.
Since the city could not be bombed, Liu Pengfei turned his target towards the port.
He has already contacted the navy and will assist the navy in occupying the port.
Their targets will be the forts next to the port and the few remaining Japanese warships in the port.
This is a rare opportunity.
Use airships to bomb battleships.
"Let's compete among the boats today to see who can hit the target first." Before setting off, Liu Pengfei set a goal for everyone.
Warships are not so easy to explode.
Compared with airships, targets like warships are too small. The key is that warships can still move.
Today's mission also reduced the difficulty, because the Yin army's warships were blocked in the port, and the space for movement was restricted.
If it were on the open sea, it would be more difficult for bombs dropped from airships to hit moving warships.
"Commander, we are already over the port. How can we blow up this warship?" The bombardiers on the boat were more cautious and did not want to waste their bombs.
One by one, you wait for me and I wait for you. In the end, I can only ask Liu Pengfei, the little commander.
"Don't be anxious, first take a look at the movement patterns of the warships below, and then drop a few bombs to test the impact points." Liu Pengfei ordered.
In the port, the only two remaining cruisers and several frigates of the Japanese army have survived until now under the protection of the forts and mines in the port waterway.
In fact, they could only ensure that the coalition forces could not land near the port, and nothing else could be done.
"Look, what is that?" Private Hawk pointed to the airship in the sky and said to his comrades.
"It's the airships that bombed the city before. Damn it, they're bombing us now."
"What should we do? Our naval guns can't reach the sky."
Everyone was chattering, and the already low morale was almost completely cleared at this time.
However, Liu Pengfei still followed the established plan and destroyed several forts in the port.
This is a piece of cake for airships to enter the water.
"Three bombs are ready... to be released!" Seeing that everyone was unsure, Liu Pengfei personally came to the bombing position of the No. 1 boat.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Three shells exploded around a cruiser.
It's just a little far away.
Liu Pengfei discovered that the wind on the sea seemed different from that on the ground.
So all the experience they had accumulated was useless.
