Volume 11 Thunderbolt Shock Volume Chapter 5 Planning Thousands of Miles 5
.
It was enough to enter the highest level of pre-war meeting. For Liu Zhiwen, there was something strange about it. After the meeting, he found a corner and racked the camera. Then he squatted there without making a sound, for fear of affecting the camera's work.
"Well, we have received the latest news. The Indian government changed its generals a few days ago. The commander of the Fourth Army, I trusted, was Lieutenant General Kaul. Because he strongly advocated the "Livorna Plan", he received strong support from the Indian Governor. All the opposition in the army were forced to unify his plan. However, the intelligence work of the Indians is really bad. We now know the general content of this plan.
"In the east, we must occupy the Tagra ridge and drive the Chinese army out of the Tagra Mountains.
——In the west, 21 strongholds of the Chinese army must be removed and all of them are Saiqin areas.
——In order to strengthen the military force in the east, it is planned to form the Fourth Army of the Special Forces as soon as possible. Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kaur will personally go to the northeast border to command and serve as the commander of the Fourth Army.
——The offensive preparations must be completed before October 10
The Marshal briefly introduced the situation. These words caused laughter from the generals present. The grand plan of the Indians was like a vain slogan to satisfy their vanity. No one believed that the Indians would really implement this kind of thing. If in China, those who made such a plan would be deprived of their military posts, because this plan would only put the troops in danger.
"Damn, is that Lieutenant General Kaul's mind getting into trouble? He dares to show off such a thing! If he dares to attack on No. 10, I dare to take a regiment to attack the strength of the Indian soldiers and lands. I don't know whether a brigade can match my regiment! One division can definitely kill the Fourth Army of India!" The person who spoke was the commander of the 15th Division. As several ace divisions, Commander Feng always stood out on both ends and was crazy when he fought. He was called the commander of the madman division. Some people were unhappy when he said this.
"Stop. Lao Feng, you are always organized and undisciplined. You still want to take the lead. If you don't look at your number, what number is there? You have to see how many numbers are there in front of you." The person who spoke was Nie Yuanzhi, the commander of the First Division, said that the Ace Division was evolved from Lao Ping's Kou Army, an ordinary Ace Division. It is one in a hundred, and the first division is one in a thousand, and it is given priority to select new recruits. That is the ace among the aces. After he spoke like this, the madman stopped talking. Other commanders who wanted to be weak had no energy and sat down obediently.
Liu Zhiwen was excited to see it. The First Division turned out to be such a powerful army. He had heard the soldiers' conversations before. He would brag about it whenever his troops were powerful. If the soldiers from other units heard it, they would definitely make a sarcasm. They would even fight. But now the commander of the First Division said this. The other ace division commanders were so arrogant. They thought of the snow-capped mountains of the First Division a few days ago, and finally admired the iron army.
In fact, what he didn't know was that although the First Division was a division-level unit, the division commander had at least a lieutenant general, and only the next Army Minister could serve as the commander of the First Division. If he knew this, he would probably be shocked.
"Actually, Lieutenant General Kaul used the support of the Indian Governor before the war to suppress the opposition within the army. However, in this case, he would completely stand on the opposite side of the Indian military. Lieutenant General Kaul really has the courage. If he had not fought, this behavior of relying solely on the government might succeed. But now he is about to fight. How does this Lieutenant General feel that he has done such a thing? Isn't this seeking death?" General Han Xinghua said on the side that as the head of the Northwest Army, he was transferred here this time to learn more about Song Bingjing's employment. As the war in the Northwest continues to escalate, he has received a transfer order and will return to the Northwest Army in mid-October to fight the people of Qing.
"The General is right. The information we have now obtained is that in order to achieve our political goals, Lieutenant General Kaul insists on offensives for his personal political future despite the difficulties of logistics supply; after the initial battle, he disperses the troops on an extremely unfavorable terrain; when the guidance is chaotic during combat, he often commands over the level, and after failure, he often shifts the responsibility to his subordinates. He has done almost every mistake that the front-line commander can make.
Considering his background in the Royal Senior Military Academy of Sanhurst, England, these mistakes are even more unforgivable. But I think Kaur's mistakes are not the fundamental reason for the Indian army's impending failure, or even the direct cause. Kaur's biggest flaw is that he has never commanded the combat troops. After graduating from Sanhurst, he has served in the corps command and climbed to a high position with his in-laws. He has selected a chief of staff with no practical experience to directly command the front-line battlefield forces. Those who make this decision must first be responsible for the failure of the Indian army."
Song Bingce took Han Xinghua's words with a smile and continued with interest. After signaling the adjutant to hang the drawings, Song Bingce began to analyze the map.
"Putting aside political factors and personnel arrangements, just to examine the reasons for the failure of the Indian army from the campaign and tactical levels, we will find that the fate of failure of the 7th Brigade when entering the Kjelang Valley was already destined. First, look at the terrain of the Kjelang Valley: on the west are the mountains of Bhutan, and on the north are the Tagra ridge. After flowing through Bridge No. 1 from west to east, the Kjelang River suddenly made a 90-degree turn.
The entire terrain is a large triangular pocket with ravines, making it difficult to even basic combat maneuvers. The 7th Brigade came here::+ Bureau, and the three battalions spread out along the line of the Kejielang River, with a wide front
.:
Third, the preparations for the battle were extremely bad. Before the troops moved, food and grass were in advance, but the Indian army could not even have the most basic logistics supply. The 7th Brigade was short of almost anything. The soldiers were wearing single clothes and fighting in a severe cold condition of 4,000 meters in the sea for five days. Once the war was stalemate, more people starved to death than those who died of the battle. Fortunately, the People's Liberation Army cleared the siege for them and solved the battle for half a day, so that the captured Indian soldiers did not have to worry about eating. The ammunition was pitiful, with only 60 rifle bullets per soldier, and the machine gun ammunition was less than a base.
The most important thing is that the 7th Brigade has no artillery support. In the mountainous operations on the plateau, the only support that infantry can count on is artillery. The Indian Army has a 4,000-man brigade with only a few mortars, and there are 2 temporary 4 mountain cannons that cannot be used, which is really unreasonable.
On the other hand, our army not only had division-owned mortars, but also had a division-level heavy mortar to provide fire support. In addition, our army also had large caliber howitzers and cannons. Once war started, the Indian army would be beaten by our artillery, and the firepower of both sides was not at the same level at all;
The last reason is that our army has an overwhelming advantage in firepower. Our troops participating in the war are generally equipped with semi-automatic rifles and fast submachine guns. The Indian army is equipped with the Li Enfield 7.7mm bolt-action rifles and Bren-style light machine guns used by the British during World War I. Both of our army have an absolute advantage in firepower and lethality.
Our grassroots soldiers are full of confidence in individual combat. Even if they cannot get support from artillery, they can still beat the Indian army with the advantage. With excellent weapons combined with solid weapons and excellent infantry tactics, it would be strange if the 7th Brigade does not suffer."
Song Bingce said this. He looked at Han Xinghua intentionally or unintentionally. Voice: =. "Sometimes, military is a continuation of politics. In order to achieve political goals, some governments will unconsciously impose excessive pressure on the army, so sometimes making good use of this rule will achieve unexpected benefits to some extent!"
Han Xinghua's heart moved, and Song Bingce's words seemed to remind himself that the Russians had assembled nearly 250 troops. They had been attacking Siberia for several months and advanced hundreds of kilometers. If they went back, they wanted to organize troops immediately and start to divide and encircle the Russian army.
If, according to the marshal, from a certain perspective, if he retreated with great strides and threw the desolate Siberia to the Russians, allowing the Russians to overcome the supply line that lasted 2,000 miles, and his own correspondingly reduced the transportation line. | His Majesty the Emperor once told him about the teachings of "remaining people and losing land", Han Xinghua finally understood his future strategic direction.

I just answered the phone call from a reporter friend. She had just retired from Mianzhu. The petite girl told me about the situation she saw on the phone. She only used four words to describe it, which is: "The End of the World." She said that she could hardly work and her tears never stopped. It was too miserable. There were ruins, and there were crying everywhere. The rescue team was going crazy to save people, but often they could not save them. The photography that followed her only took a photo and threw down the camera to help, because the scene made it impossible for you to stand and watch. She told me that she saw a scene she would never forget at a school site.
Most of the main teaching building of the school collapsed. At that time, classes were in progress, and almost multiple children were pressed down. All of them were elementary school students. Some soldiers who seemed to be firefighters had already snatched out more than a dozen children and more than thirty bodies in the ruins. Looking at the small children who were wearing red scarves but could no longer open their eyes, she said that she suddenly felt that she had no courage to speak. However, at the most critical moment, the ruins of the teaching building suddenly moved due to aftershocks and machine crane operations, and could collapse again at any time. It was very dangerous to enter the ruins to rescue, which was almost equivalent to death.
The fire commander gave a dead order to ask the people who were drilling into the ruins to withdraw immediately and wait until the collapse stabilized before entering. However, at this time, several soldiers who had just come out of the ruins shouted and found the child again. Several soldiers ignored it when they heard it, turned around and wanted to drill in. At this time, the collapse occurred. A huge concrete block was sinking. The soldiers who were turning in immediately dragged it to the other soldiers. Two gangs pulled it on it. Finally, the soldiers on the ruins were dragged to safety. A soldier who had just brought a child out of the ruins knelt down and cried, saying to the person who was dragging him.
Let me save another one, please let me save another one! I can save another one! Everyone cried when they saw this situation, but everyone was helpless and watched the ruins collapse for the second time. Later, the children were dug out, but only one was still alive. When they watched the young soldiers holding the surviving little girl and running to the tent where the rescue was located, she was already crying. Although the article had no power, at least I could let more people pay attention to this matter. Only after completing the first thing, will there be a second thing and a third thing
Chapter completed!
