The Liaoning point fell. The sword army attacked Nianernia with lightning speed. The Indian Army's Infantry Division in Yanshan's land launched a street battle. The eyes of the whole world turned to this small city that few people knew about before this.

Although the battle in Burnia is still going on, the doomsday of the First Indian Army is approaching.

The Dagger's Armored Assault Brigade of the Knife Army has captured Lai Gengjie and sent its main force to advance southward to attack the British Bazar. As long as the British Bazar falls into the hands of the Republican army, not only will the First Indian Army surrounded by the Knife Army and the Concave Army be completely destroyed, but the Second Armored Armored Division of the Second Army, which is left in the south of Brnia, the Dent Infantry Division and the Third Infantry Division will also be doomed.

Just a few hours after the battle began, the Republic Army surrounded the Indian Army's No. 1 Army, and the speed was unspeakable.

As before, some trivial troubles will always be dispersed at the right time.

.

In order to promote the combat effectiveness of the Republic's army, the Ministry of Defense sent three press regiments and asked the frontline command to send the press regiment to the frontline as soon as possible. Of course, Pei Chengyi would not send the reporters to the airborne thug. It was not that the war correspondents were not brave enough, but that Pei Chengyi did not want non-military personnel to take risks. In this way, he could only send the reporters who were yelling to go to the frontline to Burnia.

It is precisely this that the Republic's TV stations reported on the entire scene of the battle in Brnia.

It has to be admitted that those war correspondents with service experience have high professional qualities and are not afraid of death.

In order to make the audience feel addicted to war, a battlefield reporting team composed of three journalists arrived in Burnia, followed the sword army's sharp sword troops, carried the cameras to shuttle through the streets and alleys of Burnia, and used the most direct way to show the cruelty of war to the world.

The cruelty of war is not only reflected in bloody battles.

When attacking the city of Brnia, the armored assault brigade, who were responsible for the main attack mission, not only dispatched a large number of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. It also used a lot of high-tech equipment specially prepared for urban street combat, such as all-terrain combat robots equipped with automatic weapons, micro-reconnaissance aircraft that can fly into the house through windows, individual radars that can penetrate the wall to detect the situation behind the wall, and can destroy the temperature-pressed rockets of the entire building at once. If street combat could make the strongest combat force feel a headache before the Year of the Cylinder, then with the support of various technologies, street combat has become beneficial to the attacking side, especially when the defense side fails to make full use of the complex urban environment. The attacking side has great advantages.

The character of the army commander determines the character of the army.

The officers and soldiers of the Knife Army did not fight with the Indian army. Apart from calling out to the Indian army hiding in the building house before the attack, they did not give the Indian army that was stubbornly resisting. Many times, in order to avoid casualties in the battle, the attacking troops of the Knife Army would destroy the buildings defended by the Indian army in the most direct way after the call for surrender was invalid. After the assisted troops came up, they would send engineers to clean up the ruins and search for the remaining Indian army.

It is understandable that soldiers died in battle, but the biggest victim is not soldiers, but civilians.

Facing the residents of Brnia, the Knife Army took another approach. Before the attack, the Knife Army would dispatch drones with tweeters. They would shout to the civilians in the area, asking the civilians to go to an intersection controlled by the 77th Army, and then use vehicles to send the civilians to temporary refugee camps. Although some civilians took up weapons and participated in the resistance battle, most of the civilians did not obey the Indian army's call.

Prioritizing the resettlement of civilians is something that has to be done.

Without the on-site reports of the war correspondent, Ling Yunxiao would not have considered that much. The problem is that when the whole world is watching the 77th Army attacking Brnia, even if Ling Yunxiao is cruel and cold-blooded, he will not dare to take risks with the international image of the Republic and his future with the sword officers and soldiers.

On-site reporting is not only beneficial but also harmful.

On the morning of the same day, some Western news media pointed out based on the battlefield live broadcast by Republic TV that only the 7th Armored Assault Brigade participated in the battle against Brnia, but not the Armored Assault Brigade. It was concluded that the purpose of the sword army attacking Brnia was to force the Indian Army's First Army to accelerate the southward and cooperate with the depressed army on the front, and strive to become the first army of the Indian Army in Brnia in Brnia. Some Western military commentators also believed that the sword army attacking Brnia would be left to the Gertihar

The Second Indian Army has put a lot of pressure on the Second Indian Army. Even if the Second Indian Army does not go north to rescue the First Army, it will send troops to harass the Knife Army in order to gain more defense preparation time. If the Second Indian Army counterattacks Burnia, the 7th Armored Assault Brigade, which is advancing towards Bazar in England, is likely to turn around and take advantage of the empty defense line in the Indian Army, capture Gotihar in one fell swoop, and surround 2 kilograms of the three divisions of the Second Indian Army, as the main division, and expand the results of the first annihilation battle.

If we really want to reach this point, the Indian army's Northeast defense line will completely collapse.

Regardless of whether the analysis of Western military commentators is reasonable, Pei Chengyi is indeed considering whether to expand the encirclement and take over the Second Army in one breath.

The key question is not whether to turn in time, but the impact of expanding the scope of annihilation on the entire battle.

What should be considered the most is the continuous combat capability of the troops and the logistics support the day before the battle

It can be said that these two issues are completely contradictory.

If only the sword army and the concave army can effectively control the consumption of combat materials. However, the combat time will inevitably be extended. For the continuous combat of the main force, Yao Gong will jointly respond and eventually affect the entire battle plan. If other combat troops that have arrived at Jischengenjie are sent, such as the 24th Army, which has strong combat effectiveness, can effectively shorten the battle time and ensure the continuous combat capability of the main force, but will accelerate the consumption of materials, and will eventually have a negative impact on the entire battle plan.

When considering these two issues, Pei Chengyi had to consider the actions of the Indian army.

The Second Army is not strong, and its main task is not to defend the front, but to defend the junction of the First Army and the Third Army. Although the First Army is still fighting, the entire army is annihilated. If the significance of saving the First Army is not great, the task of the Second Army will not be established. In other words, the Second Army will no longer have to defend its original position. In this case, the Eastern Indian Army Group will definitely adjust the combat operations of the Second Army. According to Pei Chengyi's guess

It is estimated that the Indian army is likely to allow the Second Army to build a defense line in the north of the Third Army to gain more time for adjustment for the Third Army. If the Indian army still has a glimmer of hope for the eastern battlefield, it will allow the Second Army to defend on the spot, allowing the Third Army to concentrate its efforts to annihilate the air assault brigades of Bahamampur and Padbala. Let's look further. The longer the Second Army persists, the greater the Indian army will be able to annihilate the airborne thugs in Varanasi and strengthen the brigades, thereby revitalizing the entire battle situation.

After concluding that the Second Army would not go north to attack Burnia, Pei Chengyi did not make any adjustments to the thugs.

The old point and blade were divided, and the army led the army and went out to Burnia along the attack route of the sword army.

Although the battle in Burnia continued, the lead army and the outgoing army did not stop moving forward. They just divided the roads in Burnia, led the army around Burnia and headed south to Gertihar. The concave army advanced along the railway line toward Darpenga to the west.

It can be said that it was not until this time that the large-scale attack began to take shape.

Pei Chengyi did not intend to lead the troops to attack Getihar, but only asked to create pressure on the Second Army, to entangle the Second Army, and prepare for the next stage of annihilation of the Second Army. As long as the Second Army can be made to think that Getihar cannot be defended, it will force the Indian army to take wrong actions, either to draw the surrounding troops to defend Getihar, or to let the three divisions deployed in Getihar take the initiative to retreat. No matter which option is, it will be beneficial to the subsequent combat operations.

In other words, if the Indian army defended Getihar to the death, Pei Chengyi would use the thugs' forces to restrain eight Indian military divisions and gain the opportunity to break through the defense line of the Second Army in other directions; if the Indian army abandoned Getihar, it would be equivalent to giving up its foothold on the north bank of the Ganges River, providing an opportunity for Pei Chengyi to annihilate the remaining Indian troops on the north bank of the Ganges River. From another perspective, even if the Indian army did not make a wrong decision, that is, to use the original three divisions to defend Getihar to the death. Under the pressure of leading the army, the Indian army could not reinforce other troops on the north bank of the Ganges River. Pei Chengyi could first capture the north bank of the Ganges River, advance the front line to Varanasi, and then find a breakthrough in the west of Getihar, liberate the old airborne brigade trapped in Varanasi, and even rush to Ranchi, liberate the airborne brigade, and conduct a strategic encirclement of the eastern Indian army group.

In fact, the Indian army had only one way out. That is to kill the leading troops that reached Getihar, forcing Pei Chengyi to join another thug in the direction of Getihar. The combat operation to sweep the north bank of the Ganges River could not be completed on time, and the operation to fully encircle the eastern Indian army group could not be reached in time, which forced Pei Chengyi to concentrate his troops to attack Getihar and give up the most secure offensive tactics.

The question is, does the Indian army have the strength to annihilate the invading army?

The answer is certainly no.

Although the reputation of the guild army is far less than that of the Dao Army, as the strategic response force of the Republic, the guild army has strong enough combat effectiveness. What's more serious is that the Second Indian Army stationed in Getihar. Even if the name of the guild army is far less powerful than that of the First Army and the Third Army. The three Indian military divisions, even if two of them are the main divisions, not to mention annihilation of two thugs and one combat brigade is a problem.

If Pei Chengyi had no absolute confidence in leading the army, he would not have let the concave army head directly to Darpenga.

It can be said that the battle reached this point. The Indian army faced an unsolvable battle situation.

It is not that the Indian army commander is not smart, but that the Indian army's combat effectiveness is too weak. If the Indian army's combat effectiveness is slightly stronger, even if they persist in the direction of Jischengenjie, the attack operations of the sword army will be affected and the guided army will not be able to reach the outside of Getihar City smoothly. The Indian army will have enough time to adjust its deployment, and even have enough ability to annihilate the air assault forces nailed to Baharapur and Padbala, so that the Third Army will be safe and bold to go north to support the First Army and the Second Army, thereby gaining an absolute advantage in the battle on the north bank of the Ganges River.

There is no if, and there is no if.

While Pei Chengyi was waiting for the frontline good news, Indian Army Commander Gujarad was considering what method to use to save more Indian combat troops.

The First Army will definitely be over, and the Second Army will not be able to escape.

There is only one hope, that is, rescue the Third Army as soon as possible.

Judging from Gujarad's considerations, he had given up the eastern battlefield and was even ready to give up the eastern big cities including Kolkata. From an objective perspective, Gujarad's idea was not wrong. Let the third finger Tiangan defend the thugs in the eastern region, and the result would only lose the Chouwan army before it was in place. The Biwan army was more important than any big city, and even the entire eastern region. In other words, if the Third Army was abandoned, the Indian Army's Eastern Army Group would have no troops to send. At that time, not only would it not be able to defend Kolkata, but even the more important Ranchi, Patna and other places could not be defended. Looking further, even if the first phase of the war mobilization was successfully completed and the old 0 new divisions were obtained, in the absence of main combat troops, it would be difficult for the Indian army to establish a new strategic defense line west of Varanasi and south of Ranchi, and it would not be possible to prevent the Chinese army from advancing to the mainland of India.

From Gujarad's perspective, the first thing to consider is the strategic defense line.

As long as time is obtained, war mobilization is completed, and more combat troops are formed, the lost eastern region will sooner or later be fought back. If all the main combat troops are lost for the eastern region and the power to block the Chinese army's advance will be lost, and the eastern region will eventually fall.

After deciding to rescue the Third Army, Gujarad began to adjust his deployment.

In addition to letting the main forces of the Third Army gather in Kolkata and leaving the second-line troops to entangle the air assault forces of Bahamanpur and Padbala, Gujarad first had to do, and issued a death order to the troops near Ranchi. He eliminated the airborne prison brigade at all costs, providing ground access to Varanasi for the Third Army.

Gujarad's eagerness to save the Third Army is completely understandable.

The problem is that the Indian army's mobilization is completely under the control of the reconnaissance force of the Republic.

After discovering that the main force of the Third Army gathered in Kolkata, Pei Chengyi realized that the Indian army made the decision to cut off the arm of the hero, intending to sacrifice the First Army and the Second Army to maintain the most powerful Third Army, laying the foundation for the formation of the next strategic line of defense.

Before receiving the exact information, Pei Chengyi concluded that the Indian army would concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate the airborne brigades that were still fighting against the Lanqi defenders.

At this time, Pei Chengyi showed the meaning of leaving the airborne thug, Ji Lu, behind.

After asking Yuan Chenhao to adjust his air force immediately and provide more support for the airborne Fujian brigade, Pei Chengyi personally issued a combat preparation order to the airborne Du brigade.

In any case, Lanqi must be defeated and nailed to Lanqi!

However, Pei Chengyi was not in a hurry to take action.

The Airborne Brigade is the only unit that can support the strong brigade and the only unit that can support the old brigade. The Indian army attacked Ranchi and only opened the first joint. If we want to rescue the Third Army, the Indian army must open the second joint. That is, annihilate the airborne of Varanasi! Nai Brigade. Although Ranchi is above Varanasi, the combat effectiveness of the Airborne Brigade is also in the Airborne Mud Brigade and sent it to Ranchi is a wrong arrangement.

Pei Chengyi does not need to worry about whether he can reinforce the airborne thugs in time. The Mulu can arrive within an hour.

The thug was killed by the Indian army during the airborne time.

Of course, Mu Chengyi did not arrange combat operations based on speculation.

After contacting Li Dongshi and asking about the battle situation, Pei Chengyi not only asked the airborne nephew brigade to defend Lanqi to the death, but also promised to provide maximum air support to the airborne thugs and trade brigades and provide combat supplies to the airborne 3 brigade in a timely manner. Of course, Pei Chengyi did not forget to tell Li Dongshi that if the airborne brigade cannot defend Lanqi, he must report in advance so that the front line command can arrange reinforcements in a timely manner.

When talking to the front-line commander-in-chief, Li Dongshi must have made every promise to defend Lanqi.

In fact, Li Dongshi was not very sure.

The battle was fought from early morning to noon. Although the Zhaoying, the first thug led by Zhang Zhituo, had broken through the last line of defense of the Indian army and attacked the Lanqi city, and was moving forward steadily, Li Dongshi had to consider not only the remnants of the Indian army running in the Lanqi city, but also the Indian reinforcements that were coming from all directions.

It is definitely unrealistic to "fight against bayonets" with the Indian army.

Including logistics support personnel and engineering personnel, airborne thugs, a total of several officers and soldiers were concealed. Relying on troops to fight has never been a tradition of airborne troops.

After putting down the phone, the first thing Li Dongshi did was to go to the traffic line on the rear defense line to send scouts.

Since the front-line commander promised to provide maximum air support, why fight with the Indian army and not use bombs dropped by bombs to kill the enemy?

Guided bombing requires only a few scouts and will not have much impact on the combat operations that attack Ranchi.

More importantly, the scouts only need to stay a few thousand meters away to guide the targets for the bomber, and do not have to fight face to face with the Indian army, so there will naturally be no major casualties.

Of course, the key is to kill the remaining Indian troops in Lanqi City as soon as possible.

Air strikes can only delay the advancement of the Indian reinforcements. As long as the Indian army is determined to fight with the airborne nephew brigade, Li Dongshi must make the airborne defense brigade stand firm in Lanqi as soon as possible and prepare for position defense wars. He must occupy Lanqi as soon as possible and eliminate hidden dangers.
