Volume 10, Battle for Domination Volume 73: The failure of the Iron Wall Part 2

.

If General Walton imagined, he would have tempted two enemy fleets to sacrifice in exchange for a close-range assault of ten ships. It would be very likely that he would have achieved certain results. However, because China suddenly announced that he would accept the suggestions of the US military representative. Since he did not go through, Walton was certainly willing to hand over the force in his hands.

On the other hand, even if Walton did not surrender and wanted to continue the war of resistance, there was no way to talk about it. Within an hour after receiving the notice, Walton received more than a dozen calls, all of which were called by the cruiser captains, and the content was all; "Refuse to fight!"

So this "iron wall; the battle can only end with a slash of starts, and it will be the same if it is a broken end. In Beijing, Zhao Gang, who has always been in charge of the highest power of the country, looked gloomy and stood in front of the map to listen to the staff's report:

"Since entering the 4th, the Russians' northern legion suddenly increased their attack. According to the news sent back by General Han Xinghua, the Russians' troops increased by at least 100. Considering that the Russians had only sent 750,000 people to attack Han Xinghua, the Russians' increase in troops this time seemed very important.

Zhao Gang nodded. The Russians were deeply involved in a war on both sides. Logically speaking, they had no strength to do large-scale recruitment. In the original world history, the Russians were both involved in the Germans in both wars, and they could be said to be both defeated. But now the Russians have increased their troops, and they have increased their troops to China, which means they are looking for.

This means that the Russians, regardless of the normal order of the war, forced a large number of farmers and sent them to the battlefield. If this is the case, Zhao Gang is not worried.

"Have the Russians issued a convening order?"

The staff officer replied immediately:

"Russia has begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale. However, according to time, this batch of reinforcements is obviously not new recruits, because according to news from General Han Xinghua, the new Russian army is all veterans, brave in combat and well-trained, and it is definitely not something that soldiers who have joined the army for a few months can have."

Zhao Gang's face darkened a little more. He already knew where the Russians' soldiers came from. If it weren't for the Germans' transaction, how could the Russians dare to pull the troops out of the Western Front and put them on their own. Considering that the French troops were suddenly strengthened recently, Zhao Gang could already conclude that this was all done by the Germans.

When he saw the history of World War II, Zhao Gang often lamented that if Japan could adopt the strategy of going north, then after solving Russia, Germany and Japan could reduce the pressure and then fight against the Americans. However, after a series of lessons, Zhao Gang finally realized that the consequence of doing so was to make wedding dresses for the Germans.

Now this time, it is just another recurrence of the Germans' sense of superiority, and it is just another stirring against the Chinese Empire. Zhao Gang feels it is necessary to give the Germans some excellence.

"Well, I'll order it to General Han Xinghua immediately."

"yes."

The clerk immediately opened the book and prepared to write down Zhao Gang's orders intently

"Disregarding the gains and losses of a city and a pool, you can withdraw from Central Asia if necessary, and you must consume a lot of enemy vitality. Create favorable conditions for large-scale detours to annihilate the enemy on a large scale. The results on the battlefield are fleeting. If you make your own decisions, you don't have to ask for instructions in everything, so as not to miss things."

"Your Majesty, you have written it."

"Read it again"

"Not to worry about it...

"Okay. Let's send it now."

After dealing with the war with Russia on the Western Front, Zhao Gang began to consider India's issue. India has always been fertile and has high grain production. If India can be taken over, Zhao Gang is ready to use India as his second overseas base, and the first base is Australia.

Zhao Gang believed that with India's abundant resources, it would become an important base in less than Australia in less than ten years, and use it as a springboard to seize control of the Middle East and further seize control of Africa and complete a huge empire across Asia, Africa and Europe. However, the army attacking India was defeated repeatedly, which was beyond Zhao Gang's expectations.

Zhao Gang only knows one thing about Indian military deeds, that is, Genghis Khan's conquest for India

"Sh Khan quickly withdrew back to Afghanistan and did not invade India. The 2 Mongolian troops led by Bala who entered India captured some cities along the way, but after checking for several months, they could not find traces of Zalandin.

At that time, Yelu Chucai politely persuaded Genghis Khan to give up his pursuit and withdraw from India. However, Genghis Khan not only wanted to continue pursuing Zalandin, but also took the opportunity to capture the Indian land. At this time, good news came that the Zhebian troops marched into the Caucasus Mountains, defeated the Qincha reinforcements, and advanced to Arros (Russia). So Genghis Khan even more resolutely ordered a trip across Henan, to meet Bala, pacify India, and complete his empire's great cause as soon as possible.

According to the records of "History of Yuan Dynasty" and "Biography of Yelu Chucai", the reason that prompted Genghis Khan to return to Maban was related to the fact that Genghis Khan encountered a monster called Jiaoduan in the Indus River. When Genghis Khan's troops attacked the Indus River, they saw the river steam and the sunlight was hazy. The soldiers were dry and they rode down to drink water, but the heat of the river seemed to boil and could not enter the mouth.

At this time, the soldiers were complaining and wanted to return immediately. Yelu Chucai was about to give advice again, but suddenly he saw a big monster appearing on the riverside. Genghis Khan ordered the soldiers to bend their bows and shoot, but suddenly he heard a sound, which looked like a human voice, as if there were four words "You lord return early".

Yelu Chucai immediately stopped the archers and took the opportunity to tell Genghis Khan that this auspicious beast was named Jiaoduan, which was sent by God to warn Genghis Khan to save the lives of the people as soon as possible, and did not march and return to Mab. Bala also returned to the north on the north. After the meeting, Genghis Khan led his army back to Mongolia.

Zhao Gang has always believed that this historical fact is a myth, because the same Japanese have also recorded that "the kamikaze destroyed the huge Mongolian fleet on the expedition." It is just that these two nations have made useless whitewashing to conceal the Southern Song Dynasty. You can get endless wealth, conquering an island barbarian, what can a pauper get? The same tribe with only hundreds of thousands of people and a tribe without gold and silver, what qualifications do you have to make Genghis Khan moved?

Strange monsters are possible. Moreover, some beasts in India have never seen Mongolians. As for saying the monster's call is "You lord will return early", it is Yelu Chucai's far-fetched approach and used the monster's call to persuade Genghis Khan to go to the top. This is like a robber. After robbing several rich men, he did not notice the two little beggars hiding there in the distance. As a result, a few years later, the two little beggars

Said proudly:

"That robber dared not to attack me."

At the same time, I stretched out my skinny arms to prove my force.

However, the facts have proved that although India is beautiful, it is not easy to chew bones. It is not how Indian soldiers are brave and good at fighting. In fact, in the small-scale battle at the airport at the beginning of the battle, it was discovered that India has always claimed that "Indian soldiers are the best soldiers in the world, and one Indian soldier can stand up to three Chinese soldiers."

However, when we fought, we found that the Indian soldiers were really bad and were no match for the Chinese soldiers at all. Without exception, China won the battle in the early stages, and even one squad defeated a company, so the Army Department had to raise the standard of awards. Only by defeating enemies above three levels (the squad defeated the battalion, the platoon defeated the battalion, and the unit defeated the division) could the first-class merit be awarded. This means that about ten Indian soldiers could defeat one Chinese soldier.

The real troublesome weather in India. Since May, the weather in India has been very hot, and even people in the "fire-fire" areas such as Sichuan and Wuhan cannot bear it. The heat here is not dry and hot, but humid and miasma everywhere. The soldiers fell one after another, while the Indian soldiers had no effect. At the worst, six thousand people fell down in a division, almost half. Moreover, transportation in India was greatly restricted and large amounts of railway transportation could not be carried out, so so far, the attack on India has suffered a great setback.

In this case, Zhao Gang considered another offensive route, which was to attack from Tibet, but this route immediately received suspicion from many generals.

"This is simply impossible, at least I don't think our Northwest Army can do it."

The commander of the Northwest Military Region, Tan Zhengwu, first said his thoughts, and then he even put on the sand table on the Sino-Indian border and began to express his reasons:

"From the terrain of the Sino-Indian border, the eastern side of the Sino-Indian border is mostly high mountains to China, and the terrain is gentle to the Indian side. The land in southern Tibet is mostly plains, which is conducive to attack and not to defend. Whoever occupyes it is difficult to defend? This is the case for China and the Indian side. Our army's attack comes from the mountain to descend, like turning a round stone above a thousand feet, which can indeed defeat the Indian army to fall into pieces, and runs through the flow of flowers and water, and wolves and pigs.

However, the troops are all light-equipped, far away from the rear artillery fire support, without any heavy weapons, and there are no companion firearms such as 75mm field guns and recoil guns. If we line up against the Indian army on the plains, our light-equipped troops will not succeed and have difficulty in logistics support, and will not have much victory in confronting the large army mobilized by India across the country.

Even if they had a firm foothold at that time, how many soldiers would be placed on this flat ground backed by the plateau in the future? I am afraid that it would not be possible to be sent by one or two troops. How many people could be accommodated in that place? Even if it was occupied, how many people could be moved from the distant mainland? Are millions of people so active? What's more, you have to cross the Himalayas

If this land is so easy to occupy, then there is no need for it now. The Qing Dynasty was filled with Han people before. Millions of people were moved to the difficulties of submission, and the whole people were soldiers. However, where did the heavy equipment such as tanks and cannons necessary for offense and defense in the plains come from where the large amount of supplies needed for modern wars come from? Could it be that it would not be possible to fly from the sky?

In short, this is an enclave and is not easy to defend. It is better to say it is a military burden. Only after carrying it on it will you realize it is too heavy. The terrain of southern Tibet does have the advantage of convenient logistics supply for the Indian side, but it is also limited. Besides, the Indian army stationed more than 200,000 troops there, and the troops are all in their strength and weapons, but they are defense rather than offense, and they are also trapped by terrain factors."

Zhao Gang also knows these questions, but he still wants to ask others:

"What if we prepare an army, for example, a half million troops, can't we completely defeat India?"

Zhao Gang's idea was immediately poured with a basin of cold water to ensure logistics on the Tibet Plateau beyond Zhao Gang's imagination. Being able to attack but not being able to defend is the biggest difficulty facing the Chinese army. For example, Motuo is the only county in China that is actually controlled on the southern foot of the Himalayas. Due to the harsh geological environment and weather, it is also the only county in China that has no roads to this day.

From May to 10 years, the season for the opening of the Medog land is the season. The remaining time is heavy snow to block the mountains and isolate them from the world. In these short months, it is still subject to the rainy season. Most of the supplies that maintain the lives of the Medog military and civilians are transported to Medog by people and animals.

In June 1914, due to the sudden spill of water from Yigong Lake, which was hit by mudslides, the Jiefang Bridge across the Yarlung Zangbo River in Motuo was destroyed. In order to restore this strategically significant bridge, 4,000 people from Linzhi, Milin, Motuo, Shigatse and other places, 4,000 people, c mules and horses, transporting materials day and night. Cement and building materials can be subcontracted for transportation. What should I do if the steel bars are used for building bridges? I had to circle the steel bars every three meters and let the husband carry them. Arrange them into a long snake array, turn them into Duoxing Mountain Pass, which is more than .00 meters, and arrive at the construction site. The restoration of the entire bridge costs tens of millions of yuan. The difficulty of transportation can be seen!

At the beginning, the 18th Army had only three infantry divisions and had only more than 30,000 soldiers. As the army advanced, the transportation supply line continued to extend, and the rear institutions expanded rapidly, and automobile troops, engineer troops, corps, station systems, air stations and ground stations were established one after another, and the total number of people in the entire army expanded to more than 70,000. In fact, there were only more than 8,000 troops who actually entered Tibet. The others were all serving logistics, which was equivalent to eight people in each person entering Tibet, and there were support from the rear.

The geographical environment and climatic conditions in southern Tibet are roughly similar to those in Modog, and China has the only choice to attack in September. It avoids the rainy 6, 7, and 8 parts, and then continues to stay on the southern foot of the Himalayas after heavy snow in November (the following year's mountain). Facing the attack of the Indian army directly to the foot of the mountain, it finally fell into the point of fighting alone, with ammunition and food exhaustion.

Zhao Gang, who was hit, finally understood why a 75-meter artillery shell worth 1 yuan and 5000 yuan was sent to the southern Tibet front line. It seems that it is imperative to build the Tibet Railway. Before that, Tibet could accommodate no more than 60,000 troops.

"Can you defeat the Indian army on the opposite side and then attack New Delhi?"

This idea was also rejected

[:tp://bbse.com/

"A great country like India has no combat power, but its lean camel is bigger than a horse. With its great country's resources and manpower, and the support of Britain, it is not easy to deal with it. In terms of equipment, the Indian army has the support of Britain, and in addition to light weapons, it also has the advantage in other aspects. It is a blessing for Britain. At that time, the Indian army had already achieved double-track supply and reached an advanced level, which is a great convenience under plateau conditions.

The supply of diligent supplies is much more sufficient than that of our country's army. Besides, the Indian army is not all a fool to reach the better level among miscellaneous troops. It can really hold people to death if dozens of people beat one.

No matter how good the army is, I promise you."

Minister of National Defense Wu Junsheng replied very seriously.

Is it really impossible? Zhao Gang clearly remembers that an army has done it.

"It is already a rare glorious achievement in military history to defeat a great power with 40,000 people within one month, destroy strong troops, and kill generals and seize flags. If we go further, we will send such troops to advance rapidly, fight to New Delhi, and drink horses from the Indian Ocean, which is not impossible. It seems that this requirement has exceeded the actual capabilities of the troops, and it is the commander's irresponsibility to the troops;

It seems that the decision that year was also a helpless decision. From a global perspective, it was correct to withdraw the troops, and gave the Indian side the greatest blow, and defeated the entire country and gained the upper hand. If you want to fight, you can retreat. If you want to fight, you can retreat. If you go back and forth, you can go freely, you will win beautifully and retreat beautifully.

You should know that the most difficult thing in the war is not attack, but retreat. After this battle, our army was occupied by us, forming a condescending situation on the Sino-Indian border. It also left the Indian army with a deep sense of fear of the Chinese army, ensuring the peace of the Sino-Indian border for forty years, exceeding the expectation of ensuring 30 years of peace, and breaking the attempt of the great powers to use India to attack China. The purpose of the war was to be fully achieved and exceeded.

Due to the objective conditions at that time, this should be the best choice. Everything has its own standards. As the highest form of human struggle, war must pay attention to grasping this level. If it exceeds this "level", it will violate the objective development laws of things and will only lead to the failure of war and leave only regret.

Zhao Gang was self-deserving of such an army, but he knew that he could not train such an iron army. What kind of tempering would it take? The Long March was just one step. After that, the invincible heroic army was refined in the rain of gunfire, and Zhao Gang believed that even the current army would not be able to compete with the iron army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang's thoughts suddenly turned to 1962 in history, and analyzed the situation through the fog.

"Nehru used military force against China at that time. It was precisely because he saw the terrain in southern Tibet that China could not defend. In addition, the international situation was favorable and China was in a state of natural disaster that had not been encountered in a century, so he was confident that China would not dare to fight back. From a strategic and tactical point of view, it did have the right time, place, and people. However, Nehru did not know the soldiers, and the generals he used were too stupid and had too much appetite. Only after occupying southern Tibet realized that he could not defend, so he wanted to occupy the entire Tibet. As a result, he failed to climb the mountain and was defeated. India did not participate in the Korean War, and the Chinese army won the victory in North Korea, which made India, who was watching, even more impetuous. I felt that China could do it, and it was certain that it could be. A strong military country was just like this. I was eager to try and wanted to build a strong country on the battlefield and establish its status as a great power. Before the war, the Indian army faced itself with itself.

He was extremely confident in his strength. The Indian media even had the crazy saying that "one Indian soldier can defeat ten Chinese soldiers". He just went to the battlefield without knowing his opponent and was excitedly rushing to the battlefield, which was just in line with the saying of "a arrogant soldier will be defeated". He had a good hand and forced India to lose all the game. Strategically, India had the advantage, but in tactics, the Indian side was in a mess. As a result, he was beaten up by China and was completely disgraced. Mao Zedong used his exquisite military strategy to lead the Indian army to a battlefield where he would definitely lose, and took advantage of the momentum. His momentum was dangerous and short, and he moved above the nine heavens, and he beat the Indian army to no avail. He regained his wonderful hand and forced the game to survive. However, the inherent unfavorable factors were difficult to make up for. How could it be difficult to maintain that place? It was already very good to have the favorable situation in the current land.

At the same time, there is also a climatic factor. When Mao Zedong was commanding the battle, he cleverly used Tibet's geographical environment and climate. After our army won the border battle, the entire process of the war lasted only more than a month, and he quickly retreated. He retreated before India recovered. He closed the mountain as soon as he retreated. The battlefield was timed to seize the terrestrial weather. When India understood the urge to retaliate, Tibet had already blocked the mountain with heavy snow and wanted to attack without a way out. By the second year, the situation of the battle had completely changed. China's local defense had been completed. As a result, India has not been able to avenge a single arrow. I am afraid there will be no chance in the future. If the troops did not retreat at that time, the rear was blocked by heavy snow, reinforcements would not be continued, and the food and ammunition would not be helpful, and the consequences would be unimaginable. The situation at that time was that China was conducive to quick battles and it was difficult to last. And India was fighting at home and logistics was supplemented.

It is convenient, with a strong source of troops, which is conducive to long-term warfare. After its defeat, it was eager to make a comeback and willing to reduce its value. In order to obtain military support, it did not even have the reputation of the leader of the Non-Alliance Movement. It made great concessions to both the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, the Americans gave India a few old-fashioned weapons and equipment, but opened the back hatch at the airport and gave a big exhibition to the world. The world was in a big uproar. India's international prestige dropped to freezing point. India can be said to have lost all its face and swallowed its anger, and then received British aid. When it took its property as a buyer and went to take revenge, the enemy disappeared. It was like a fat patient who finally bought a sledgehammer and lifted it with all his might. When he was about to smash it, the enemy suddenly left. The sledgehammer was thrown away, nor was it held up, it was really disgusting. The worst thing is that this sledgehammer is still holding it high.

After the Sino-Indian border war, India took some advantage in its territory, but it also put a tight curse on itself. It lost a friend like China who would never be able to mess with, and in exchange for a deterioration in the geographical environment. There was also the threat of hundreds of missiles in Tibet. Hundreds of thousands of troops were nestled under the mountains, attacking did not look like attack, defense did not look like defense, and we couldn't laugh or cry. Although our army did not have the upper hand on the Sino-Indian border, the Western Front has always maintained an offensive tactics, and the Eastern Front has more than enough defense. Strategically, by supporting Myanmar and Pakistan, it tightly curbed India's possible actions, and actually had an advantage. First, the terrain was favorable, second, the soldiers were in power after 1962, and third, the border issues were righteous. All this was due to Mao Zedong's clever use of the weather terrain at that time. The Chairman's use of troops was as good as God."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The sound in his ear interrupted Zhao Gang's reverie, and he had to open his eyes and consider the form in front of him.
Chapter completed!
