Chapter 893： Industrial Power vs. Agricultural Power

In November, the UOB Indian Army arrived in Kolkata and started a contest with India.

This is a battle between industrial powers and agricultural countries, and it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history in the future, in order to let Dahua students understand the importance of industry.

This will be recorded in history books.

On November 1, the Majestic battleship formation launched an artillery attack on Calcutta.

The transport ships that transport the army and supplies are just a few miles behind the warships. This is a taboo for soldiers, because transport forces have always been equated with weak defenses.

Transport troops should always stay away from the battlefield, especially the navy.

The Mughal Imperial Navy seized this opportunity. They bypassed the frontal Majestic Navy, came to the Majestic transport ship and launched an attack.

However, all conspiracy and tactics are futile in the face of absolute strength.

Dahua has completed industrialization, and the Mughal is still an agricultural country.

Dahua’s transport ships are all iron-clad ships powered by steam engines, and Mughal warships are still wooden ships relying on sails.

The Mughal Navy’s battleship Delhi launched an artillery bombardment. After hundreds of shells were fired, only one shell hit the Majestic Transport Ship Tsukiyo, causing minor injuries to one person.

Seeing that the shelling effect was not good, the Mughal Navy chose to approach and tried to take up the battle.

When they approached, the two 20-caliber close-to-air guns on the transport ship fired, causing serious damage to the hull of the Delhi, and water flooding occurred.

The other warships were all hit by the Chinese Army’s close defense weapons.

After breaking through the fire blockade, the army on the Chinese transport ship immediately opened fire, causing great damage to the nearby Mughal Navy.

Subsequently, the Mughal Navy fled in embarrassment, and was later sunk by the Chinese warships rushed to sink five ships and captured seven ships.

Sneak attack on logistics has been an extremely important tactic since ancient times.

Once successful, great benefits can be obtained.

However, any tactics need to be combined with the actual situation.

In this comical naval battle, the Mughal Empire’s navy simply ignored the actual situation and used tactics mechanically.

They managed to get around the logistics unit of the Chinese Army, but what about it, they couldn't even beat the logistics unit of Dahua.

Who attacked who, this is open to question.

The Indian navy that escaped successfully landed one after another. They never wanted to go to sea anymore, and they did not want to fight with the Chinese army.

Even the warships that transport logistics are so powerful, one can imagine how terrifying those battleships equipped with large-caliber main battle guns would be.

They didn't feel safe when they got on the land. The roar of shelling in the distance was like a sledgehammer hitting their chests.

"Let's flee to Delhi, the farther we are from the Chinese, the safer we are."

The group of deserters finally decided not to return to Kolkata and chose to escape separately.

Some went to Delhi, some went home quietly, and some went to other places. Only a few people chose to return to Kolkata.

On the other side, the Chinese artillery shelled for two hours and destroyed the defensive fortifications on the shore in Calcutta, and then the Marines took the lead to land and eliminate hidden dangers.

The process went smoothly. The Indians were all shrunk into the city by the bombing, and they dared not come out again. Those who have money and a way out are all fleeing from the North City Gate.

Those who have no way out can only stay in the city and resign themselves to their fate.

If they leave this familiar place rashly, they may not even have food to go to other places.

There are not many jobs in the Mughal Empire, and it is not easy to find a job where you can get enough food.

After the Marines cleared up the threat, the army on the transport ship began to land.

This process is actually not easy. They can't go ashore without people. They have to move all the artillery, other living materials, weapons and equipment to the shore.

It took them two days just to land.

There were only two divisions that arrived in Kolkata first, one was the main division of Dahua, and the other was the 301 division composed of Fusang people. There will be two more divisions in the follow-up, who have to take a batch of ships to come.

After the army landed, it did not camp, but went directly to the city of Calcutta.

Said it is a city, that is an exaggeration.

In fact, Kolkata has only one wall two to three meters high.

Moreover, this wall is very small, with a circumference of seven or eight kilometers, which is similar to a small county in Dahua.

There are not many houses inside the fence, but there are quite a few houses outside the fence.

It has a large population and is the fourth largest city in India.

Calcutta alone cannot accommodate so many people. Therefore, there are a large number of residential houses and huts outside the fence.

The city of Majestic is surrounded by walls, while the walls in Calcutta are surrounded by walls, which are very distinctive.

In other words, this wall has actually lost the value and meaning of defense.

"This is the fourth largest city in India?"

A Chinese soldier couldn't help but spit out, if India's cities are like this, then you can still slap you, basically you can push all the way.

"There are some tall cities in other places, and this is a relatively backward area."

An officer said uncertainly.

He guessed it was right. The Mughal Empire and Dahua are very different. Most of the population here is located in the countryside, while the population in the city is very small.

Moreover, the Mughal Empire did not pay much attention to the construction of cities.

"Order the offensive, so that the Fusang soldiers are honest, and are not allowed to slaughter civilians and prisoners at will."

Teacher Chen Biju said.

The military discipline of Chinese soldiers is strict, but those from Fusang are much worse.

Of course, this is mainly because the Chinese army did not intend to train those people. Anyway, these people are used to fill up the numbers and do what they can.

People in the War Department don't want to train those people too hard.

Although they are all big Chinese now, there are differences among big Chinese.

After the order was given, the people of Division 301 rushed over with excitement.

In the past, their North China Army was beaten up badly, and for a time had fear of fighting.

And now, it's finally their turn to bully others, this feeling is pretty good.

From the cowards who only dared to hide in the trenches and tremble before, they suddenly became fierce wolves, screaming and rushing towards Calcutta.

The governor of Kolkata ran away when the Chinese army shelled, leaving some troops in the city without a leader.

Facing the attack of the Chinese army, many troops also began to flee, only a small number of troops and soldiers resisted spontaneously.

Unfortunately, their resistance is weak.

Before the main force of the Chinese Army had started, the 301st division attacked the city, and then began the work of clearance and suppression.

Compared with the siege of the city, the work of cleaning up and suppressing the city is more difficult. After all, the language is not clear, and the locals cannot understand what they say, which is very difficult.
