Chapter 118 There is no cure
"On the afternoon of the Zhanji day, contact Li Dongshi! After that, Pei Chengyi let go
The title of "First Airborne Brigade" of the Airborne Brigade is indeed worthy of its name. Without much support from Feng Feng, it not only withstands the fierce attacks of three Indian main divisions and four Indian reserve divisions, but also sought an opportunity to launch a counterattack, which prevented the Indian army from launching a threatening attack throughout the afternoon.
Since the airborne thugs have no major problems with the Chou Travel, there is no need to overthink the battle in the direction of Ranchi.
Then Pei Chengyi issued the highest order to the combat troops in both directions: the army must break through the Songhe defense line within the time of Kongbu, and strive to reach Varanasi at the Kou day and night; the Huo army must complete the assembly and deployment adjustment within the hours of the Kou day and night. The combat operation to attack Howra was launched before dawn of Kou day and day.
Because the air return brigade had already entered Canning Port, Pei Chengyi did not put pressure on the troops.
If everything goes well, the Air Bus Recovery Brigade will annihilate the Indian infantry division of Canning Port before dawn. More importantly, in order to avoid the Indian army destroying the port infrastructure, the Air Bus Recovery Brigade first landed in the port area and then launched an attack from the inside to the outside. Judging from the battle report obtained, the damage at Canning Port is not very serious. Engineers can repair the damaged infrastructure before the transport fleet arrives, and will not have much impact on the loading and unloading of materials.
The Air Force thugs brigade has already changed defenses with the Air Force brigade in the afternoon and will participate in the combat operations of the Supporting the Calculation Army in the evening.
The vanguard of the Hongjun had already crossed the Ganges in the afternoon, and the main force would arrive at Sahibgen at night. According to the combat mission arranged by Pei Chengyi, the vanguard of the Gujun would set out in advance, and the main force would wait until the vanguard of the army crossed the river before leaving Sahibgen. If everything goes well, the vanguard of the Jiangjun would arrive at Patna in the morning of Huri, and the main force would arrive at Mingri night.
When the vanguard of the army was leading the army across the river, Pei Chengyi adjusted the combat mission of the troops.
The fallen army has advanced westward, so there is no need to let the two thugs follow and advance westward.
According to the adjusted combat plan, the generals led the army to move south from Sahibgen and advance south along the west bank of the Ganges River, directly attacking Sestiya, Andal, Asansol, Adela and other transportation hubs, which are small and medium-sized towns. After arriving in Adela, they will decide on their next move, which is to go west to reinforce the airborne brigade stationed in Ranchi, or to head south to open up the railway line to the Gulf of Bengal coast.
Influenced by the combat effectiveness of the igniting army, it is impossible to perform two tasks at the same time.
Pei Chengyi did not make a decision in advance. First, the battle situation was not clear enough, and second, the importance of the two directions had not been fully reflected. With Pei Chengyi's command style, he would not arrange a clear campaign and offensive task for the guide army at this time.
In the afternoon of that day, something very important happened.
Hundreds of super bombs transported urgently have been loaded onto the transport plane and are expected to be sent to Jishengenje in the early morning of the 7th and handed over to the low-altitude strike force of the land aviation deployed there.
Although the number is not large, it is enough to help the Piao Army conquer Kolkata.
Pei Chengyi didn't know that at his request, the Logistics Equipment Department of the General Staff issued an emergency order to the arms dealer producing bombs. It was assembled by hundreds of workers overnight. Because the scope of use of super bombs is not large, there will be no too much inventory. No order was received. The arms factory will not produce in large quantities.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
The "east wind" that attacked Kolkata was to occupy Howrah and encircle Kolkata in all respects.
After arranging all the work, Pei Chengyi left the tactical command center, allowing Yuan Chenhao, who had been fully prepared and took office in advance, commanded the combat operations for him.
In New Delhi, hundreds of kilometers away, Rurajapani was not so relaxed.
On the evening of the old days, when Rurajapani returned to the Prime Minister's Office, the first thing he did was to let senior Indian generals such as Fernandez and Gujarad report on the war situation.
There is no doubt that the situation is not optimistic at all.
Although Gujarad reported good news but not bad news, he tried to go to the better, for example, he focused on the Songhe blocking war and the combat operations against Varanasi. He only introduced the battle in the direction of Ranchi and Kolkata in an understatement, and did not mention the two Chinese troops that had bypassed Kolkata south, but Rurajapani was not a fool, nor was he a politician who could be fooled by soldiers. Gujarad's introduction to the situation of the battle with evading importance could only convince Rurajapani. The situation was not optimistic, and the "victory" achieved by the Indian army on local battlefields had no big impact on the entire situation.
After the meeting, Rurajapani asked someone to invite Stark over.
The words of Indian generals are not credible, and they can only understand the situation from the US military adviser.
When he saw Stark, Rurajapani did not immediately ask about the situation on the battlefield, but asked a jin. The question that made him a little annoyed.
"I don't know much about the strategic alarm." Stark knew that Rulajapani asked this question, and had contacted Duqiwei long ago and got Duqiwei's reply. "There are many uncertain factors in the strategic alarm itself, and even in normal circumstances, false alarms may appear. After India and China started the war, we were closely monitoring the movement of China's strategic nuclear forces. After the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, we strengthened our surveillance of China's tactical nuclear forces. In any case, China is a supernuclear power with nuclear weapons that can destroy the entire world. It is not a simple matter for us to monitor thousands of external nuclear weapons and carriers. Even a few confused Ren Qian's responsible attitude also showed a thousand pairs of Indian strategic security bars. We will not let go of any traces of sisters, let alone be careless. False alarms are inevitable. But I believe that the Prime Minister is the same as me. He believes that the best result is not happening."
After listening to Stark patiently, Rurajapani felt speechless.
Stark is right, the best result is not happening.
After pondering for a while, Rurajapani seemed a little worried, so he asked an additional question: "In other words, China has no intention of using nuclear weapons?"
"It's true." It seems that the answer is too general. Stark also said, "As far as we know, China will at least not use nuclear weapons in the sense of transpiration."
"What does it mean?" Rurajapani immediately frowned.
Adding the attribution "transmitting and playing meaning" before nuclear weapons will have a completely different meaning. Because the United States' attitude towards fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons is consistent with China, Stark's "nuclear weapons in the transmission and playing sense" does not include fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons recognized by India and other countries.
"There is intelligence proved that China has made great progress in the miniaturization of the fifth generation of tactical nuclear weapons, to be precise, catalytic metal hydrogen high-energy explosive devices. It is very likely that it has developed a high-energy explosive device with an explosion equivalent of dozens of tons or even several tons of yellow explosives, and it is very likely that it has been used in actual combat. Stark knows what Rulajapani means, and said, "The thugs, because the high-energy explosive device will not produce radioactive pollution and have no continuous lethality, it is just a tactical strike weapon and does not have strategic strike capabilities.
We have been searching for evidence of China's use of the device, but now we have to believe it. China has adopted an extremely cautious attitude. Without using the explosion device in the atmosphere, it will not be able to collect the dust generated after the explosion. Of course, we have enough reason to believe that China will not use nuclear weapons in the traditional sense as long as it is not threatened by strategic nuclear weapons.
"That is, China is likely to continue to use what you call high-energy explosive devices."
Stark hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Lurajapani breathed a long time and did not bother with this issue anymore. He reiterated: "The problem now is that the situation of the war is very unfavorable to us. We need more support. I wonder if the United States can sell us a batch of so-called high-energy explosive devices, so that we can have greater confidence in defeating the Chinese army."
"this"
Thugs Of course, I just asked Rulajapani. It was really just asking. The catalytic metal hydrogen high-energy explosive device is the most cutting-edge military technology. Not to mention being sold to India, the United States has not even sold related technologies and products to traditional allies like the United Kingdom.
Stark breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want to offend Rulajapani on this issue.
"Just just now, I listened to Gujarad and others' reports that the situation of the war was not only very unfavorable to us, but gradually became clear. Rulajapani did not take any more turns, saying. "Although our army has gained an advantage in some local battlefields and effectively curbed the attack speed of the Chinese army, on the overall battlefield, we are only one step away from defeat. It can even be said that we have lost the Eastern Front War. The problem now is, how bad we lose, or how bad we will lose. According to our estimates, within three to five days, the Chinese army will achieve a decisive victory in each direction. The Army Command has already taken out the next stage of combat tactics and thugs. It is ready to use airborne to exchange time. It will delay the speed of the Chinese army in the front and behind enemy lines, and gain more time for us to establish the next strategic line of defense."
Stark nodded, indicating that he understood what Rulajapani meant.
The strategic defense strategy proposed by the Indian Army Command "a large part of it was formulated in the Pentagon, and Gujarad just chopped up the fruits of Duchwi's labor.
As early as when the war broke out, Duchiwei suggested that India exchange space for time.
At that time, the Indian army was full of confidence and believed that it could use its huge military advantage to fight local combat advantages to offset the combat effectiveness advantages of the Chinese army and defeat the Chinese army on the front battlefield, but ended up losing consecutively on the front battlefield. Seeing that the front line could not be defended, the Indian army finally remembered Du Qiwei's suggestion.
No need to say it out loud. Stark knows the questions Rurajapani is going to ask.
Simply put, it is how long it can be blocked by the Chinese army.
Stark pondered for a while and said, "The establishment of a southern defense line in the Nalmada River and the Mehanama River, and the establishment of a northern defense line in Gorakpur Allah Abad Jabalpur is crucial to the next stage of defense operations. No matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to ensure that the two defense lines can be completed in time. For the Indian army, the biggest problem is how to gain enough time. According to our estimates, if no unexpected situations occur, the Chinese army will complete the main combat mission on the Eastern Front battlefield by the end of August, and then use ten to fifteen days to transfer the main force to the Western Front battlefield. Because Pei Chengyi can be in the Western Front battlefield in advance.
Hoard combat supplies. Therefore, the main force of the Chinese army can rest during the transfer. There is no need to provide additional rest time. In other words, the Chinese army will launch a strategic offensive on the Western Front between September 10 and 15. The actual situation of the Indian army is that the construction work in the north can only be completed at the end of September at the earliest. The construction work of the southern defense line may not be reached until mid-October. In other words, if appropriate measures are not taken, the Chinese army will launch a new round of strategic offensive before the Indian army has built two strategic defense minds." Lulajapani nodded slightly and said, "What do you mean by the appropriate measures?"
"Ren Xing can delay the Fengguo army and can cause trouble for the Chinese army."
Rurajapani smiled bitterly and waited for Stark to continue talking.
"From the reality, there are not many ways to take Stark is not polite. Because he always thought that the Indian army was fighting and pondering for a while. Seeing Rulajapani looking humbly for advice, Stark also said: "First of all, we must disrupt the war deployment of the Chinese army. Force Pei Chengyi to invest more troops on the front battlefield, so that it cannot be planned." Launch a strategic offensive on the Western Front battlefield. In order to achieve this goal, the Indian army must insist on resisting head-on, and the longer it persists, the better. In addition, it must also be as soon as possible.
Start a war behind enemy lines and form a guerrilla team behind enemy lines. Secondly, you must have a clear understanding of the overall war ideas of the Chinese army. That is, you must be clear about what Pei Chengyi wants to do: although until now, we still believe that Pei Chengyi will launch a combat operation to attack New Delhi as soon as possible after the decisive battle on the Eastern Front. Information from all aspects also proves this speculation. However, the combat operations of the Chinese army show that Pei Chengyi has long been prepared, that is, if he cannot successfully attack New Delhi, he will not have any other choice.
More importantly, if we look at the entire war, we must believe that as long as the strategic offensive in other directions is to end the war as soon as possible, it is more beneficial to simply end large-scale military operations. Pei Chengyi is likely to give up the idea of attacking New Delhi immediately and launch an attack in other directions. Finally, we must also understand the strength of the main forces of the Chinese army, especially the combat effectiveness. How to understand it. I think those front-line officers who have returned from the battlefield have the most say."
After telling the solution, Rurajapani was a little at a loss.
The first method is basically unreliable. Needless to say, the Indian army has been fighting hard. How long can it last? The attacking Chinese army has a more say, or it is determined by Pei Chengyi's battle to attack Jigo; as for the decision, Lurajapani has too many concerns, because there are too many ethnic minorities in the eastern region. If the Chinese army adopts the correct ethnic support policy, no one can say how many ethnic minorities are on the side of the Indian government. Not to mention anything else. As Bangladesh sends troops to West Bengal, the Bengali people in the region will come to the Chinese army and will not respond to the call of the Indian government. The consequences of launching guerrilla warfare are difficult to predict, and it may even cause trouble.
The second method is even more dependent. How Pei Chengyi wants to fight. Not to mention that the Indian generals can't guess, even Du Qiwei, who had fought with Pei Chengyi, could not guess. Not to mention anything else. Du Qiwei always believed that Pei Chengyi would not rush to attack Kolkata. He would first take action in the western part of the battlefield and open the door to New Delhi. After laying the groundwork for the next stage of strategic offense, he would send heavy troops to attack Kolkata and obtain the most direct supply channel. More importantly, Du Qiwei did not guess at all. Before occupying Kolkata, he would dispatch two troops to the south to attack the Bay of Bengal coast. It can be said that Pei Chengyi's battle goals are unpredictable and cannot be understood at all. It is not that Pei Chengyi does not have a clear battle goal, but that no one knows his battle.
of.
The third method is even more meaningless. Even if you know the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the Chinese army, what can you do? On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, the Indian army failed to gain a advantage when they fought with the main forces. At the end, as the main forces decreased, the combat effectiveness of the Indian army would plummet. The casualties of the Chinese army were not large, and they had sufficient strategic reserves. After figuring out the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the Chinese army, they could only damage the morale of the Indian army without any actual effect.
It can be said that what is placed in front of Rulajapani is a game of dead chess.
Seeing that Rulajapani had not spoken for a long time, Stark sighed and said, "Although we have enough confidence, I suggest that it is better to prepare for moving the capital.
Lurajapa's brow jumped a few times, and said nothing.
"Your Excellency, I don't want to hit the morale of your country. The reality is in front of us. Even if your army can use all its means to delay the Chinese army, it will prevent Pei Chengyi from launching the Western Front General Attack in mid-September. At most, the decisive battle on the Western Front will be delayed until the end of September or early October. This time, it will not be possible to restore combat effectiveness at all. It is even more impossible to defeat the Chinese army on the Western Front battlefield. If you consider the Pakistani army, you may be even more pessimistic. The fall of New Delhi is only a matter of time. The sooner it is to prepare for moving the capital, the more beneficial it is to India.
“The question is, where are we moving to?”
Stark was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth.
The problem of Rurajapani is also very realistic. Pei Chengyi has already prepared for India's capital to move. Otherwise, two powerful troops would not have been allowed to move south to sweep the Bay of Bengal coastal areas under the tight war on the Eastern Front. Even if the capital was moved to Bangalore according to the Indian government's plan to move the capital to Bangalore, it would only last a few days. As prime minister, Rurajapani had to consider the impact of the capital moving on military morale.
"I will consider your suggestions. It's just that now is not the time to discuss moving the capital.
Stasheng nodded and made no comments.
