Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As the caste-based rebels blocking the path between the Tianzhu Colony and the Tianzhu Republic were eliminated, Daxia's soldiers once again faced off directly with the John Empire.

Since the waterway from the John Empire to Tianzhu was blocked by the Bactrian and Hans Empires, supplies from the John Empire could not be transported to Tianzhu.

Therefore, the current Tianzhu colony has actually become a dead land.

This time, Daxia seems to be ready to solve Tianzhu's problem once and for all.

Therefore, under the order of the Daxia Military Headquarters, the Southeast Asian Army of the Daxia Empire gathered more than one million soldiers and prepared to attack the southern part of Tianzhu in one fell swoop.

Among them, there are more than 30 divisions of local soldiers in the Daxia Empire alone, including three armored divisions. At the same time, the Republic of Tianzhu and the South East Asian vassal states assembled a total of 20 divisions.

The Southeast Asia Group Army followed the advice given by the military headquarters and prepared to attack from the east and west directions.

In the first stage, the Daxia Empire will focus on attacking Nagpur, the most prominent point at the forefront of the John Empire.

Nagpur is the transportation hub of the Indian colony of Maharashtra, where the Johns built a railway extending in all directions.

Together with Madhya Pradesh and Chirksgarh respectively. Of these two regions, Madhya Pradesh is in the hands of Bactria, while in Chhattisgarh, Bactria only occupies half of it.

The second stage is after Daxia takes Nagpur, then Daxia can use the railway there to quickly advance westward to Bombay. To the east, Chhattisgarh and Orissa can be captured.

Among them, Mumbai is the second largest port city in the entire colonial area of ​​Tianzhu after Delhi, and it is currently the first industrial town in Tianzhu. It is also the location of John's Imperial Colonial Governor's Palace.

If Bombay can be captured, it can be declared that the Tianzhu Campaign is over.

Because as mentioned before, the John Empire's local supplies cannot be transported, so the John Empire's army can only rely on the arsenal in Bombay City to maintain the consumption of the army.

If Bombay is lost, the soldiers of Empire John will not be able to get even a single bullet supply. And when that time comes, there is no point in continuing to resist.

Therefore, Mumbai City has now become the most critical point for both sides at this stage.

The Governor of the John Empire also understood this, so when faced with the fact that Daxia was preparing to attack before the defense line was fully constructed, the Governor was very courageous and abandoned the southern states and mobilized all 200,000 John Empire soldiers to Mahalla Strabang.

Among them, Nagpur, Nashik, and Pune are the areas that the Governor focuses on defense.

This time, the Governor decided to make a desperate move.

On January 1933, 1, Daxia and his allies arrived on the outskirts of Nagpur and began to build offensive positions in preparation for the Battle of Nagpur.

Both sides invested more than 8 troops each here. Among them, the John Empire invested 12 John Empire soldiers and 12 colonial troops. On the Daxia side, Imperial soldiers held down the battle, and Allied troops began to attack Nagpur. Launch an attack.

This time, the allies will be responsible for the main attack, which was discussed between the empire and various countries. The reason is to train the offensive capabilities of the soldiers of each country.

In this regard, there is not much opposition from various countries. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Daxia's attack on Tianzhu has reached its final stage and is about to end.

At this time, if we can't gain any more military exploits, how can we argue with others at the negotiation table after the war?

Besides, in the Nagpur area, the colonial army exceeded the John army. He doesn't have strong fighting ability or fighting will, but he happens to be a good opponent for training.

Under such circumstances, the Battle of Nagpur will be dominated by Southeast Asia and the Republic of Tianzhu.

Daxia's main force began to enclose territory.

In more than a month of the Battle of Nagpur, Bactria captured all the territories except Maharashtra.

Moreover, it helped the Republic of Tianzhu establish preliminary rule in the local area.

In early March 1933, the Chinese League captured Nagpur and then began to march towards Bombay. At the same time, Bactria also began to march towards Bombay from Goa in the south.

However, the soldiers of the Chinese League encountered the main force of the John Empire in Nasik, and the attack was frustrated. As the Nagpur area held out for a month, John rushed to build a complete fortification at Nashik.

So much so that the soldiers of the Chinese League were repulsed many times in ground attacks.

At this time, Daxia's soldiers could only take over from the Chinese League's soldiers and act as the main force of the attack.

Daxia lived up to expectations and showed the soldiers of the Chinese League the firepower superiority theory from Daxia.

The Southeast Asian Front mobilized a large number of artillery from the rear, especially the 48-mount 155-caliber rockets, which gave the John Empire soldiers in Nasik a baptism.

After half a day of fire preparation, most of the Nashik defenses were destroyed by Daxia. Then the Daxia soldiers, under the cover of a tank armored division, rushed directly into the city of Nasik.

After that, it took almost another week to clean the entire Nashik.

Since then, Nashik, the core of defense east of Mumbai, was breached by Bactria. The Chinese League's troops were directed towards the city of Bombay.

At the same time, Daxia's Southern Army also broke through Pune at almost the same time.

As a result, breakthroughs were made in both directions.

On March 1933, 3, the Daxia Empire and the Chinese League met 14 kilometers outside Bombay. And began to make final preparations.

In order to break through the city of Mumbai faster, in the early morning of March 3, a squadron belonging to the Third Combined Fleet of Daxia arrived in the waters of Mumbai City, preparing to cooperate with the army to capture Mumbai.

Just the night before Daxia and the Chinese Alliance were preparing to launch a general offensive, news came from the John Empire's Tianzhu Governor's Mansion, requesting negotiations with the supreme commander of Daxia outside the city.

As the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Front, Zhou Chuanjun, when he learned that the John Empire was preparing for peace talks, he immediately reported it to the Imperial Military Department.

After the military headquarters learned that Bombay City might surrender, it felt that this was an opportunity to peacefully resolve Bombay City. So I suggested that Zhou Chuanjun try to talk.

But when Lin Yi found out, he was not very satisfied.

He directly reprimanded the senior official who came to such a conclusion. The current empire is no longer the weak and bully Daxia before.

Daxia's current achievements are all due to the soldiers fighting on the front line.

But now, the general attack is imminent, and the Johns have come up with the idea of ​​​​peace talks, the empire will cooperate with them and stop the attack?

Where does this leave the soldiers on the front lines?

Also, how do you know this is not a conspiracy by the Johns to delay time?

The officer was startled by Lin Yi and did not dare to refute.

Lin Yi also directly issued an order to Zhou Chuanjun in the name of the Imperial Military Department, asking him to reply to the Governor's Office in Bombay and tell him to continue preparing for the general offensive. As for the Johns' desire to negotiate, Daxia would not accept it.

Daxia now only accepts unconditional surrender.

Lin Yi's meaning is very simple. If you want to survive, surrender directly and don't talk about peace talks. Daxia will not accept peace talks.
