Chapter 169 The disaster in New Delhi
son.
Although the sound of artillery outside the city was rumbling, the mobile reserve was fighting against the armored forces of the Republic Army. However, the Indian military and civilians in the city were discussing the contents of the leaflets.
Has Rurajapani left New Delhi?
Is New Delhi surrounded?
Is there a million troops outside?
Will the defenders blow up the entire New Delhi?
The panic spread rapidly, and it was not only the citizens who felt desperate, but also the soldiers, especially those who had just responded to the call of Rulajapani and took up weapons.
After a verbal note, about thousands of reserve soldiers who tore off their epaulettes and tens of thousands of citizens broke through the blockade line set up by the garrison troops outside the Prime Minister's Office and flocked to the Prime Minister's Office. All they saw was the empty Prime Minister's Office, and they did not see the Prime Minister who vowed to live and die with New Delhi.
News that Rurajapani had escaped quickly spread.
It's no longer a rumor, but a fact.
The situation in the city immediately lost control. Citizens who had stayed at home in accordance with the wartime orders issued by the government took to the streets and snatched supplies. Although Gujarad immediately ordered the dispatch of troops to suppress the troops, the troops that went to suppress the troops were soon in chaos, and many soldiers even took off their uniforms and joined the robbery team. There is no doubt that in extreme cases, the suppression can only have a counterproductive effect. Not to mention anything else. Most of the New Delhi defenders were newly recruited reserve soldiers, and most of these soldiers were locals in New Delhi. Is it possible to ask them to suppress their relatives and friends? For these soldiers who do not have much morale, saving lives is the primary goal. Besides, the Prime Minister fled New Delhi to save his life, so why should the soldiers stay and wait for death?
Gujarad did not realize this mistake, but instead sent more troops to suppress the riot.
The more troops you send, the more severe the riots.
Although it is impossible to verify who fired the first shot, after the first gunfire, the riot turned into a bloody conflict, and then turned into a battle between the suppression troops and the citizens who picked up weapons.
Before the Republican army invaded New Delhi, the defenders of New Delhi first fought street battles.
Taking up the point, a unit composed of tens of thousands of armed civilians rushed into the thug on the east bank of the Yamula River. Many New Delhi-born Indian soldiers turned against each other during the battle and joined the civilian front. The battle continued until the point of the mouth, and civilians occupied the camp. Then they began to plunder and hoard military supplies in the camp. To be precise, it was thousands of tons of food prepared for more than 10,000 officers and soldiers.
For the civilians in New Delhi, the most needed food is food.
After the country entered a state of war, the Indian government completely canceled market transactions and provided daily necessities to the people across the country through rationing. Although New Delhi is the capital and received additional care, everyone's lives were affected.
According to the regulations of the Indian government, male adults who are old and older have kilograms of rations per month, female horn kilograms, minors under the old and older have kilograms of rations per month, and elderly people over the age of older have kilograms of rations per month. Except for grain, other non-staple foods and daily necessities are controlled by the production standards. For example, male adults can only receive kilograms of pork per month.
From a certain perspective, the Indian government's approach is understandable. Any country will control strategic materials during war periods, and food is the most important strategic materials. More importantly, India is the most populous country in the world. Although it has unique conditions, the Ganges Plain is the most fertile agricultural farming area in the world. It can grow rice for three seasons a year. India is the second largest grain producer in the world. The first is the republic and the second is the United States. The grain output is not low, but compared with its huge population, India's grain output cannot meet domestic demand at all. About one-third of the grain needs to be imported. Before the war, India's strategic grain reserves were only enough to meet the needs of the whole country for three months, and India formulated a war plan for several years. The Ganges Plain fell before the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the month of the state of the country, and the problem of strengthening control is more prominent. It is natural to strengthen control.
From this perspective, it makes sense for Pei Chengyi to firmly advocate the strategic offensive line of east first and west first.
The Ganges Plain is the main grain-producing area in India. But it is not the most densely populated area in India. About one-third of India's population is concentrated in the northwest region centered on New Delhi and only one-sixth of India's total land area. In other words, if Indians control the Ganges Plain, they will face the problem of eating.
In fact, when Pei Chengyi was busy commanding the army to attack New Delhi and Surat, the occupying forces sent by Myanmar and Nepal were actively organizing the Indians in the occupied area to harvest food. In order to gain the trust of the locals, the occupying forces not only did not collect grain, but also contributed people to help the Indians harvest food. They also agreed to exchange the harvest of grain for fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, agricultural tools and other agricultural production materials according to the negotiated prices between the two sides. As the policies of the occupying area were gradually introduced, the occupying forces also promised the locals to exchange grain and agricultural and sideline products for cloth, medicines, household appliances, bicycles, coal and other daily necessities from the occupying forces. For farmers who account for the vast majority of the population in the occupied area, these policies of the occupying forces can bring them huge benefits.
There is no doubt that the citizens of New Delhi are not so lucky.
More importantly, after the outbreak of the war, the Republic Air Force has been bombing New Delhi. Although there are no grain warehouses specifically targeting New Delhi, there are still many warehouses for storing grain. The warehouse controlled by the Chuan Zhiping team was killed by Wu to destroy Lingwugongyi and materials. Bombers often use incendiary bombs with heat weaving agents. The most conservative estimate is that at least 10,000 tons of grain were burned to ashes, which is equivalent to the one-month ration for the military and civilians of New Delhi. For New Delhi, which originally had not stored much food, it was undoubtedly a huge disaster.
Because the grain-producing areas fell prematurely, a large amount of grain stocks were destroyed! So at the beginning of the month of the month, the Indian government lowered the ration quota and reduced the grain supply by one third. Even so, many citizens still could not receive ration on time because there was too little grain in New Delhi. According to the information provided by journalists and foreign embassy staff in New Delhi after the war, on the old day of the month, rice on the black market in New Delhi was sold at 10,000 rupees per kilogram. If the Indian official exchange rate is equivalent to the old dollar, if the black market exchange rate is equivalent to the thugs' four dollars. No matter which price is, it is amazingly expensive.
You should know that the international gold price during the same period is only USD per gram.
From this we can see that most families in New Delhi have bottomed out.
Inversely proportional to the hungry citizens, the New Delhi defenders were not hungry. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, in addition to increasing the rations of soldiers, the Indian government also first ensured the supply of the army. To be honest, the Indian government also hoped to recruit more soldiers when doing this. On the other hand, many young people who "respond to" the call just wanted to make a living in the army, not really working for the government. As early as the day before Yueli, the Indian military police shot several soldiers who stole military supplies, and what these soldiers stole was just a few bags of rice or flour, which were not so-called military supplies at all. Among these soldiers who stole "military supplies", most of them were fathers with several children. What they did was just to fill their children's stomachs.
In fact, since the beginning of the mouth month, the "hunger" problem in New Delhi has been very prominent.
According to reports sent back by some reporters from New Delhi, people are hungry on the streets every day. The most common thing New Delhi citizens do is to find food when they have open activities during the day. In the suburbs of New Delhi and the parks in the urban areas, all the edible wild vegetables have long been dug up. Some citizens sell their children and daughters, and exchange food from farmers in the suburbs. There are even several "population trade markets" outside New Delhi.
A famous and French Indian journalist risked his life to conduct a deep investigation into the market. Not only children but also adult women, especially young and beautiful women, a child can be exchanged for up to kilograms of grain, while a famous young woman can be exchanged for kilograms of grain, and beautiful women can be exchanged for 4 kilograms of grain. Those who control the trading market are soldiers with backgrounds. The ones who support these soldiers behind the scenes and provide food are some international population smuggling groups.
After the war, the reporter also conducted a follow-up investigation, and most of the population was sold abroad. Male children were mainly sent to war-torn areas in Africa. Some became baby soldiers under warlords. Some became slaves in plantations. Female children were mainly sold to some remote countries or countries with severe imbalance in population ratios. Some of them were sold to the Republic after many resales. Adult women were mainly sent to Western countries such as Europe, the United States, Canada, etc., and the wise dogs became old women in underground old courtyards controlled by the mafia.
According to the investigation results obtained by the reporter, within just a few months of the thug, at least 10,000 children and 20,000 adult women were trafficked, and the ship failed to survive until the year. Because the smuggling group mainly sent trafficking to all over the world through Pakistan and Nepal, the reporter released the relevant reports and the Pakistan and Nepal governments arrested hundreds of soldiers, dozens of whom were sentenced.
The disaster in New Delhi is not a disaster for a city. It is a disaster for a country and a nation.
The question is, can this be blamed on those traffickers who are obsessed with interests?
In the words of an American politician involved in the incident, using a kilogram of food can bring about a beautiful and obedient woman this year. As long as a normal person who does not regard money as dirt, he will be moved. In terms of business rules, when the profit margin is as high as one million, even if it is a business that loses its head, most people will take risks.
The fundamental problem is still the Indian government. If citizens are allowed to fill their stomachs, who will betray their relatives?
When the government still has prestige, citizens will not rebel. As a nation that obeys and wins independence through non-violent and non-cooperating movements, the people will not rebel under the threat of gunfire. Only when the government completely loses its prestige and the army is no longer controlled by the government will the people rebel!
After looting the first military camp, there was no way to stop the hungry citizens from looting the second, third, military camp.
That night, the rioters robbed the thugs and robbed about 30,000 tons of grain.
There is no doubt that for the thug Kawan New Delhi citizens, 30,000 tons of grain were even dissatisfied with the teeth. More importantly, as the looting began, as some citizens came home with grain bags, those who were still waiting and watching also joined in.
In troubled times, of course, the more food the better.
That night, a convoy carrying military rations for the mobile reserve team was ambushed in the suburbs of New Delhi.
Of course, the ambushers were not Republican troops, but armed civilians.
More than 0 officers and soldiers who were escorting the troops, including many drivers, were all beaten to death. When the rescue troops arrived, the convoy had been looted. Many trucks were persuaded to be burned.
That night, Pei Chengyi issued an order to the army and the drought-induced drought to only defend and not fight back.
Because early warning aircraft and drone reconnaissance aircraft have been dispatched for a long time to monitor the city of New Delhi. So what happened in the New Bundesliga? Pei Chengyi is very clear about what happened in the New Bundesliga.
After adjusting the combat operation, Pei Chengyi did not forget to contact Xiang Yinghui and asked the General Staff to send a batch of food as soon as possible.
The riots in New Delhi show that the food stored in the city is about to bottom out. In other words, whoever can provide food to fill the stomach for the thugs and the citizens of Daowan will belong to New Delhi.
Suddenly, there is another very important thing. That is, whoever can make the New Delhi defenders have enough food, the defenders will work for whom.
As the scope of looting expanded, more and more soldiers joined the ranks of looting. Soldiers were also humans and had to eat. The first thing that caused trouble was the troops that were looted in camps. Because the food had been stolen by citizens and was scattered in the hands of thousands of families, it was obviously unrealistic to confiscate food from civilians, so the most direct way was to grab other camps or rob warehouses controlled by garrison troops.
The army joined the looting operation and the situation could no longer be controlled.
By the morning of the invasion day, the conflict had become a "civil war." The camp's unrobbed army fought to the death to defend the camp, while the food-free army attacked to the death.
The whole of New Delhi is crazy, and soldiers no longer fight for their country, but for their own belly.
At noon, the warring Indian troops suddenly stopped and turned their fingers to the most favored New Delhi garrison.
Among the many combat troops of the Indian army, the capital garrison has the highest status.
As an armed force that is absolutely loyal to the Prime Minister, the capital garrison troops not only are responsible for the security of New Delhi in peacetime, but also become a military force directly obeying the Prime Minister's command during wartime. Although more than half of the garrison troops left New Delhi in the name of protecting transferred government officials, nearly half of the garrison troops remained in New Delhi. Generally, the garrison troops do not participate in frontal combat, and their main task is to supervise other troops, which is similar to the gendarmerie. According to the authorization of Lurajapani, the actual power of the garrison troops far exceeds that of the military police, and even the soldiers of other troops can be executed. In contrast, the garrison troops are treated far more than that of the general army. Not only is the food supply a problem, but other living supplies are extremely abundant. They can also enjoy special treatment that other troops do not have. For example, all officers of the garrison troops and the families of most soldiers have been taken care of, and many have even left New Delhi.
All the other troops have been so angry that they dare not speak out against the garrison troops.
When the Indian army, which was fighting each other, understood, it would definitely target the garrison troops.
The garrison camps were not stolen. There must be a lot of food.
In the afternoon of that day, tens of thousands of soldiers from several divisions flocked to the garrison camp located in the suburbs.
As a result, it can be imagined that after the warning was invalid, the officers and soldiers of the garrison guarding the camp opened fire first. Although hundreds of Indian troops were killed and thousands of Indian troops were injured in just a few minutes, the "self-defense" behavior of the garrison troops not only did not scare away the Indian troops outside, but instead triggered a full-scale confrontation.
The camp was attacked and the garrison troops carrying out their missions returned immediately.
The news spread as the garrison troops gathered in the camps, and then more and more defenders joined the attack on the garrison troops' camps. It is undeniable that most defenders only serve food. It is undeniable that some of the defenders are not short of food, and they just don't stand the garrison troops that are domineering in their daily lives.
The situation in the rear was out of control, and the mobile reserve team, who had been hungry for a day, had no fighting spirit.
Pei Chengyi did not allow the Pin Army and the Invader to pursue him. Because the wounded army and the Invader did not carry much ration. At this time, the Indian army could only share the same hatred of the enemy and target the invaders.
In Pei Chengyi's opinion, it would be better to wait until the Indian army has fought enough before cleaning up the mess.
During the day and night, the mobile reserve team entered the city of New Delhi.
It can be said that the attitude of this force will determine the situation in New Delhi, because whether it is the garrison troops or the defenders who launched the rebellion, they are basically infantry and do not have much armored power. The mobile reserve team is a veritable armored force or the main armored force. In front of the mobile reserve team, the garrison troops and the reserve team are vulnerable to attack.
That's why New Delhi became much quieter that night.
At this moment, Gujarad issued the stupidest order: to let the mobile reserves supercharge the rebel army.
Gujarad forgot one thing, that is, the mobile reserves are not garrison troops.
Although the main force that forms the mobile reserve team is also very good, and officers and soldiers do not have to worry about food and drink. However, no main force is with the garrison troops because the main force is the main force, and the garrison troops are enjoying their fruits. The most important thing is that the food escorted by the garrison troops cannot be delivered to the mobile reserve team. Although the robbery convoy is civilians, the mobile reserve team cannot point the muzzle at the civilians, and can only vent their anger on the garrison troops.
Gujarad asked the mobile reserve team to suppress the army at this time, which was like shooting himself in the foot.
That night, some troops of the Mobile Reserve pointed their guns at the garrison. Most of the troops of the Mobile Reserve were waiting and watched and did not participate in the "civil war". However, as long as an armored force was put into battle, the garrison troops would not want to defend the camp.
That night, Pei Chengyi received a call from Xiang Yinghui.
The train carrying food has departed from Yecheng. The food can be delivered to the front line within three days. In addition, Xiang Yinghui also asked the front line command to make arrangements as soon as possible to send a special force to New Delhi.
At this point, Pei Chengji breathed a sigh of relief.
Three days later, the melee in New Delhi will end.
Chapter completed!
