This night from the beginning of the day...When Pei Chengyi was sleeping, the battle situation was quiet

First, the sword army ran all the way, crossing the Ganges under the cover of the 2nd thugs of the old days. They captured Jindenagar on the other side of the river. After dividing two troops, the sword army surrounded Howra, west of Kolkata before dawn.

Accompanied by the sword army, the air thug thug brigade, the air and air thug return brigade also joined the attack on Kolkata.

The mission of the old Air Turkish brigade was to establish an encirclement in the southwest of Gardenridge, southwest of Kolkata, cut off the connection between Kolkata and the west bank of the Ganges. The mission of the Air Turkish brigade was to establish a defense line in the east and southeast of Kolkata, and cut off the connection between Kolkata and the port of Canning. The Air Turkish thugs were towns, and when the ground troops attacked Kolkata, they concentrated their forces to capture Canning Port.

In order to make up for the loopholes in the defense line left by the three aerial assault brigades, the Armored Brigade of the Concave Army entered India in advance, controlling the defense line from British Bazar to Padbala, and preventing the Indian army from reinforced the logistics supply lines of the land troops such as the Knife Army on the west bank of the Ganges River from posing a threat to the logistics supply lines of the Knife Army and other ground forces.

The most popular ones are the Yaojun and the Dajunkou who have not participated in the war before

The witch army left Jischengje before dawn. The blade army left Jischengje after dawn and advanced south together.

Although the Mi Army and the Blade Army are ordinary strategic responsive troops, each with thugs, armored assault brigades, two mechanized infantry brigades, "Future Logistics Brigades, Artillery Brigades," and air defense brigades have not entered India and have several independent battalions directly under the army. The scale of the organization is not comparable to that of the Knife Army, but is much worse than that of the Knife Army with two Armored Assault Brigades, but both the Blade Army and the Blade Army are veritable main field troops. The two armies are at the same time from Jishengenjie to cross the Ganges River from the breakthrough point opened by the army and sweep the southern bank of the Ganges River. This is enough to expose Pei Chengyi's campaign attempt.

After receiving the photos taken by the reconnaissance satellite, Duqiwei was really alert.

What he was thinking about was not how long the Indian army could last in Kolkata, but was it necessary to use the equivalent of four armies to attack Kolkata?

Before Du Qiwei could figure out the problem, he received another piece of news that shocked him.

The Bangladesh Army had already assembled in the western border area to replace the strong army guarding the western defense line. The photos taken by the reconnaissance satellites confirmed that the Blade Army's vanguard had crossed the India-Bangladesh border and entered India. They participated in combat operations in the eastern part of West Bengal.

The entry of the concave army into the seal is equivalent to gathering forces equivalent to six strategic reactive armies.

Pei Chengyi looked down on the Indian Infantry Division who stayed in Kolkata with six armies.

Not to mention Duqiwei doesn't believe it, even military intelligence analysts who have never been on the battlefield believe that with the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, using the force equivalent to six strategic reflexes to attack Kolkata, which is guarded by only thugs and infantry divisions, is even more excessive than smashing eggs with hammers, and is simply a waste of valuable military resources.

With the facts that had to be confirmed, Du Qiwei could only believe that Pei Chengyi had other intentions.

As more and more information was sent, the situation became clearer and clearer, and Du Qiwei gradually affirmed the speculation that he was reluctant to believe.

Pei Chengyi's purpose is not only to capture Kolkata, but also to march south at the same time.

The actions of the three air assault brigades are enough to prove Duchiwei's speculation. If it were not for the main force to bypass Kolkata, Pei Chengyi had no reason to besiege Kolkata before the ground troops arrived. There was no reason to send most of the reserves in one go, and even let the concave troops participate in the war.

Before contacting Stark, Duchway did something very important: judge the troops going south.

Should we let the sword army go south, or let the medicine army and the environment army go south, or let the vicious army go south?

Duqiwei first ruled out the possibility of the Jiaojun. The main reason is that the Chinese army has not yet controlled the transportation routes in the southern Kolkata for the time being and cannot provide sufficient logistical support for the troops heading south. The organization of the Huojun is too large and the requirements for logistics support far exceed the Strategic Response Army. More importantly, the Jiaojun is a heavy armored army, and its long-distance raiding ability and assault speed are not as good as the Strategic Response Army. Pei Chengyi sent troops around Kolkata, and he must have opened the passage to go south. The primary requirement for the troops is the ability to quickly assault, rather than the ability to attack. Even if the Jiaojun can defeat all the Indian troops south of Kolkata, Pei Chengyi has no reason to let the Jiaojun drag down other troops.

After excluding the Gujun, Du Shuowei had a headache.

If he is asked to choose, the sword army will definitely be allowed to go south. The performance of the other things is eye-catching enough. The combat power and assault ability are strong enough, whether it is a fast raid or a tough attack in the battle. The sword army is easy to capture. In other words, the sword army has both the assault ability of the strategic reflex army and the attack ability of the armored army. More importantly, the sword army's independent combat ability is very outstanding. In the defense battle of Jischenggenjie, there is no requirement for too much support, and the requirements for logistics support are not high. Pei Chengyi does not have to worry about the continuous combat capability of the sword army.

If the sword army was allowed to move south, why did Pei Chengyi send out the Blue Army and the Bad Army?

This is a question that Duchewei has to consider.

After bypassing Kolkata, the urgency of attacking Kolkata is not so obvious. When the Ao Army has entered India to participate in the war, three air assault brigades support the Ao Army to attack Kolkata. There will be no problem. No matter how strong the defense of Kolkata is, it is not as strong as Seoul in the past. Moreover, the current Ao Army is much stronger than the Peninsula Battle, and its attack ability is absolutely first-class. Although two additional troops can effectively alleviate the combat pressure of the Jiao Army, after sending the Va Army and the Dea Army, Pei Chengyi only has two brigades of reserves left. It is very important to go south to attack the Bay of Bengal coast, but it is more important to attack westward in the later stage of the battle. Preparing for the attack on New Delhi is even more important. If Duqiwei commands the Chinese army to fight, the Mi army and the Dea Army will never be allowed to sweep the Bay of Bengal coastal areas without special purposes.

After eliminating the impossible, it is also true that what remains impossible is the case.

In other words, it was not the 77th Army that went south. It was the Zhang Army, the Blade Army, or the two armies together.

.

There is no doubt that Du Qiwei tends to accept the last possibility. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Mi Army and the Blade Army is not as good as that of the Blade Army. Although a thug can also make a breakthrough, the effect will not be much better. For the sake of safety, Pei Chengyi should let the two armies move south at the same time. If the later combat is taken into account, especially the continuous combat capability of the soldiers, let the two armies attack in turn, effectively ensure the sustainability of the attack.

Thinking of this, Duqiwei immediately affirmed this inference.

No matter how strong the combat power of the sword army is, after three consecutive days of fighting, it is still at the end of its strength. According to the limit of human energy tolerance, even if the officers and soldiers of the sword army are strong, they will continue to be strong at most. After 4 days, the sword army must stop fighting operations and rest for at least a few hours, so that the officers and soldiers can maintain their energy before they can participate in the combat operations again. For the southward assault, Pei Chengyi certainly does not want the assault troops to stop and rest halfway. And it is very likely that they cannot stop, because going south requires more Indian troops and may be constantly harassed by the Indian army. The fallen army and the evil army are both troops that have just participated in the battle. Not only can they persist for a longer time. Moreover, the two armies attack in turn, which can always give one army a rest.

After making this judgment, Duchiwei immediately contacted Stark and asked Jatuk to warn the Indian Army.

The problem is that the warning issued by the United States is just a warning.

When Stark found Gujarad, it was almost dawn, and the Chinese army carrying out the roundabout encirclement mission had been deployed.

Although Gujarad immediately issued a combat order to expand the defense scope to the Indian army stationed in Kolkata to prevent the Chinese army from moving south from Kolkata, the hesitation was an airtight encirclement composed of the Strategic Response Army, air assault brigade and powerful fire strikes, and the Indian army could not implement the orders of the Army Chief of Staff at all.

Unable to dispatch Kolkata's defenders, they can only arrange peripheral troops to block the Chinese army heading south.

As a result, when Gujarad was preparing to adjust the deployment, he found that there was no way to deploy it. Because there was no army nearby in the area to block the Death Army and the Blade Army going south.

The concave army has already gained a foothold on the east bank of the Ganges River. The Indian army on the other side of the river can no longer rely on it.

The Indian army near Kolkata, that is, the Ganges estuary area, has long been transferred to strengthen Kolkata's defense. The closest to Kolkata is the rear guard of the Third Army, which just arrived at Bad Taman. Although the unit has two divisions, it is all second-line infantry divisions. It has no combat power at all. What's more terrible is that Detaman is in the northeast of Kolkata, not in the southeast of Kolkata. Even if two infantry divisions are allowed to move south, they have to first cross the defense line of the Kolkata in Jindenagar. Only in order to block the Mi army and the Dao army that bypassed Kolkata. The six main divisions did not defeat the Kolkata. Can the two second-line infantry divisions break through the defense line of the Kolkata?

Without troops to be sent, the Indian army can only choose hysteresis tactics, that is, to destroy the road infrastructure on the Chinese army's marching route as much as possible.

Because the area north of Kolkata is already under the control of the Chinese army, the Indian army can only destroy bridges, passes and other infrastructures in the area south of Kolkata.

Obviously, this move will not have much effect.

Kolkata is located on the alluvial plain at the mouth of the Ganges River. There are endless estuary plains nearby. Although tributaries in the lower reaches of the Ganges River can have an impact on the Chinese army, like every big river, the river surface near the entrance of the Ganges River is not difficult except for being spacious. The Mi army and the Dajun are prepared and cannot even bring bridge equipment. Even if the Indian army blows up all the bridges, it will cause at most some trouble for the Mi army and Luo army, and it will not be possible to stop the Blue Army and the Blade Army, and it is unlikely that the Chi army and the Blade Army will even delay the advancement speed of the Chi army and the Blade Army, because the two armies can take turns to rush forward and take turns to take on the task of crossing the river and building bridges, thus saving a lot of engineering time. As for blowing up the Liandao, don't think about it, there are only low-altitude hills at most, and there is no need to build tunnels in the plain area.

Gujarad could only watch the Spinning Army and the Blade Army advance south!

Knowing that it was impossible, Gujarad did not over-the-top combat operations in the direction of Kolkata, but instead focused his energy on the direction of Ranchi.

In the middle of the night, the vanguard of the Third Army was also the most powerful armored division in the Ran army. It arrived at Bendu Town in the southeast of Ranchi.

Although it was less than 7 hours before dawn, the armored division still headed to the attacking position.

The armored division was so anxious to enter the battle. It was a big laugh at the setbacks in the attack on Ranchi in the front. When two infantry units were invested in succession, Gujarad concluded that the key reason was that the attacking troops lacked the support of armored forces. The armored division was a standard armored force. Not only had nearly a thousand armored vehicles of various types, but the main equipment was still relatively advanced. Although the airborne thugs and the trade brigade had a strong armored force. However, in Gujarad's view, no matter how advanced the airborne chariot was, it was not the opponent of the 2nd. Because he was very self-right to this main armored force, in Gujarad's eyes, as long as the armored division arrived in Ranchi, he could kill the airborne brigade in one go.

If this is true, the Third Army has come alive.

As long as the Lanqi is captured before dawn of Zhanri, the main force of the Third Army, that is, the other two armored divisions and four mechanical infantry divisions, can arrive at Zhanri night! Passing through Ranchi in the early morning of the 6th, escaped from the encirclement of the Chinese army. As for the second-line infantry division left behind by the main force, Gujarad did not think too much. As long as the main force is surrounded, the Third Army will be able to be supplemented after arriving in Bhopal in the central region and form more infantry divisions.

In fact, the arrival of the Second Armored Armored Division also made Li Dongshi feel a lot of pressure.

After receiving the message from the early warning aircraft that was responsible for battlefield surveillance missions, Li Dongshi immediately did two things. One was to send reconnaissance troops to find the Armored Division, and the other was to call for air support.

Although Li Dongshi did not see the Dixi Armored Division, it can be seen from the number of the Indian Army that this is a main force.

There is no absolute necessity. Li Dongshi will not let his officers and soldiers fight head-on with the Indian army's main armored forces to compete for strength, nor will he let the airborne tanks fight armored warfare with the main battle tanks.

In fact, before Li Dongshi called, the front line command arranged an air strike.

The first thing that arrived was the launch of the shelves who were on combat patrol missions over the battlefield, saying that Xiao Shao's scouts were not in place yet. So the small! The group of small aircraft could only rely on the target situation provided by early warning aircraft, and used ammunition that was not very suitable for bombing armored troops to attack the Armored Division, which was not ideal.

This is not a mistake for the Air Force. Before this, the Indian infantry posed a threat to the strong brigade of the airborne thugs. The fighter jets that were in combat patrol missions carried explosive destruction weapons rather than anti-armor weapons. More importantly, the Didan Armored Division mainly marched at night and used the complex terrain of the Jordanagpur Plateau. The time to arrive in Ranchi was for several hours. The early warning aircraft responsible for battlefield surveillance missions focused on the Indian infantry in the north of Ranchi. The surveillance efforts on the south of Ranchi were not very strong, so they could not find the Didan Armored Division in time. If they had not planned to launch an attack before dawn, I was afraid that the early warning aircraft would not have discovered the Bendu Didan Armored Division at all.

When Li Dongshi issued an air support request, the thugs from three brigades were hung with anti-armor ammunition.

The second one arrived at the battlefield was not the tactical aviation force, but the Army Air Force's low-altitude attack aircraft. Although these low-altitude attack aircraft did not carry much anti-armor ammunition. However, the tactical fighters of the Air Force were equipped with thugs with a caliber of millimeters were limited by power supply capabilities, and rarely used aviation guns to deal with ground targets. They were still equipped with ordinary aviation and guns. When using armor-piercing bombs, they could easily penetrate the top armor of any main battle tank except for the storm. More importantly, they were professional anti-armor attack aircraft, which in addition to having extremely excellent ultra-low-altitude attack capabilities, and also had very powerful night combat capabilities. In the operation to strike armored targets, Shanhu's combat effectiveness exceeded that of any tactical fighter.

It can be said that this brand-name low-altitude attack aircraft is the air support that Li Dongshi needs.

Apart from the large armored forces, the No-mouth Armored Division has no other advantages. As long as the armored forces of the No-Mini Armored Division are destroyed, the Airborne Thug Brigade has enough ability to defeat this main Indian army unit.

With the collective mobilization of the Tactical Aviation Corps and the Army Aviation Corps, Li Dongshi also saw the opportunity to fight Qiufeng.

…? When the Zhaoji Group launched an attack above the head of the Diji Armored Division, Li Dongshi gathered three battalions and asked Zhang Zhiqi to serve as the frontline commander, preparing to launch a counterattack while the Diji Armored Division was retreating. Li Dongshi did not forget to tell Zhang Zhiqi. The focus was still to defeat the Diji Armored Division. Instead of annihilation of the 7th Armored Division, the counterattack troops rushed to Bendu at most and must not pursue blindly.

You should know that behind the Second Armored Armored Division, there are 6 main Indian troops. Li Dongshi doesn't want half of the combat forces in his hands to pieces on the iron wall of the Indian army.

There was only one thing Li Dongshi didn't expect. That was the aerial strike lasted for a full hour.

It was not until 4 o'clock in the past that Li Dongshi received the news that the last group of attack aircraft teams responsible for the battlefield blocking mission completed the attack mission, and the next group of attack aircraft teams responsible for the combat support mission will arrive around the point. It was also at this time that Li Dongshi asked Zhang Zhiqi to lead the counterattack troops to leave the defensive position.

At 4:4, the counterattack force led by the thugs, the head of the camp, contacted the armored division.

After a few minutes of fighting, the one who was on the battlefield support mission came out of the shelves... the west rushed to join in the fun.

Faced with the joint attacks between the ground and the air, the originally high-spirited Dike Armored Division collapsed before dawn. Zhang Zhiqi strictly followed Li Dongshi's orders and stepped on the brakes before rushing into Bendu. He returned to Lanqi with the counterattack troops and left the mission of continuing to attack the Indian army to the attacking group that arrived one after another.

Although the scale of this round of resolute and decisive counterattack was not very large, it wiped out Gujarad's hope.

That's why when the battle in the direction of Kolkata was in a desperate situation, Gujarad was considering whether to let the Disheng Armored Division, the Dizhao Infantry Division and the Vicious Infantry Division, who had just arrived in Bendu, launch an attack during the day.

This is a multiple-choice question with only one option.

Bendu was too small to accommodate several combat troops of several divisions. As the troops behind him flocked to him, whether Gujarad wanted to, the Third Army had to march towards Ranchi.
