"In the early morning of the day, hundreds of thugs who built a temporary land aviation base in Varanasi. The vertical take-off and landing transport plane returned to Varanasi again and transported away the heavy construction equipment of the engineering troops.

Before the engineers arrived, the concave army strengthened the siege of Allah Ranbad in accordance with the orders of the front line command.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, the engineers first opened the railway line from Varanasi to Fatahpur. Because the railway line passed through the city of Allahabad controlled by the Indian army, the engineers had to build a temporary railway outside the Indian defensive positions and reconnect the cut-off railway. Because Allahabad is on the south bank of the Ganges River, several highways and railway bridges on the Ganges River have been blown up, and Fatehpur is west of Allahabad, so the temporary railway can only go around from the south of Allahabad, and it is necessary to connect the railway to Manigpur to the south.

Using the method of "demolting the east wall and repairing the west wall", the problem of building a temporary railway is not very big.

What is more troublesome is that the temporary railway is less than a thousand meters away from the Indian army's position and is easily destroyed. For this reason, Pei Chengyi asked the fallen army to build a defensive position on the side of the railway line facing the Indian army, deploy half a brigade of troops on the position, and place the other half of the brigade's troops on both ends of the position. Using the thugs to guard the defense line with a total length of less than the old kilometer, basically ensuring that there is no accident.

Seeing the Chinese army building a railway connected to Fatahpur, the Indian army was immediately panicked.

Although there is no evidence that the Knife Army must rely on the railway line, the Chinese army opened the railway line at this time, which clearly stated that it was necessary to enhance the Knife Army's continuous combat capabilities, not only to annihilate the defenders of Fatehpur, but also to lay the foundation for continuing to advance westward. As long as the railway line is opened to traffic, the Chinese army will not have to rush to attack Allahabad, concentrate its efforts to advance westward, and may defeat Kanpur in one breath.

The first reaction of the Indian army was to launch a counterattack.

Under the obstruction of the concave army, the Allah Abad defenders who had lost all their heavy equipment were unable to cross the "line of life and death" of a thousand meters.

During the several counterattacks on the morning of the Chou Day, the Indian Army had no other way to collect the body except for dropping thousands of corpses on the positions of the Concave Army.

As the end of the temporary railway line advances westward bit by bit, the reality faced by the Indian army becomes increasingly cruel.

Fighting is death, and waiting for it is death.

At this time, almost no one did not admire Pei Chengyi's courage.

On the front line of the Indian Army's positions, few commanders could think of such tactics.

The problem is that, including Du Qiwei, no Indian general saw Pei Chengyi's tactical intentions, at least not all Pei Chengyi's tactical intentions.

Is the temporary railway leading to Fatahpur?

Although most Indian generals hold this view, Duqiwei holds a completely opposite view.

In Duqiwei's view, Pei Chengyi asked the engineers to go up to build a temporary railway, not to open up the railway line to Fatahpur, but to connect the railway line to Manigpur. The main force of the sword army has gone south and challenged the Bhopal Army to the north with a clamp offensive. Although the combat effectiveness of the sword army is far greater than that of any Indian army, facing the Bhopal Army with a main division and a second-line division, the 77th Army is not obvious, and is even at a disadvantage because of the division of troops. In the absence of more ground troops, what Pei Chengyi can do is provide sufficient for the sword army.

The combat supplies allowed the dagger's brigade to fully utilize. Pei Chengyi must open the railway line as soon as possible, rather than putting the burden of logistics supply entirely on air transport. In this way, the dagger is likely to place the artillery brigade in Manigpur. Although the distance between Manigpur and Edavao is more than kilometers, the maximum strike distance of long-range artillery in the Chinese Army is kilometers. It can be said that Manigpur is the best "artillery position" that the dagger can find. As long as the artillery of the dagger has firmly stood firm, it will be difficult for the Bhopal Army to defeat the dagger in frontal battle.

It has to be admitted that Duchwie's judgment is not humble and accurate.

Pei Chengyi's first purpose of asking engineers to build temporary railways was to send artillery and supplies to Manigpur.

The problem is that guessing Pei Chengyi’s intention does not mean finding a solution.

The closest Indian army to Manigpur was the defenders of Allah Abad, and then when Duchiwei, who had arrived in Edavao, made a judgment, the Hongjun's assault troops had already controlled Manigpur and expelled a few local Indian military and police.

On the evening of the day, as the railway line to Manigpur was officially opened, the engineers took a vertical take-off and landing transport plane again, and the engineering equipment was transported away that night. The engineering unit did not return to Varanasi, but headed south to Manigpur, controlled by the 4th Army.

After arriving in Manigpur, the main task of the engineers was not to build artillery positions, but to build material warehouses.

One of the major benefits of fighting on the Ganges Plain is that many infrastructure does not need to be specially built. For example, field airports for vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft do not need to be specially built. They just need to find a piece of open space and consolidate the foundation. The artillery positions do not need to be specially built by engineers, and most of the work can be completed by artillery themselves. What the engineers need to do is to build a material warehouse and build a passage for wheeled vehicles to drive the Ganges Plain is an alluvial plain, and the rainfall is very high, the surface is too soft, and it is difficult for wheeled vehicles to move in the field.

At this point, even the Indian generals guessed what Pei Chengyi wanted to do.

The construction of a large-scale construction in Manigpur was clearly provided with support for the sword army and made every effort to deal with the Bhopal Army. Is there a way to solve the problem with the thug?

Du Qiwei didn't think of a solution. Can Indian generals be more powerful than Du Nianwei?

The problem facing the Indian army is that the Bhopal Army must not only go north, but also accelerate northward, and must also kill the Knife Army in the battle. If the Bhopal Army stops going north, the Knife Army will definitely turn around to deal with Fatahpur, clean up the Indian army in the north, and then turn around to clean up the Bhopal Army. Don’t doubt whether the Knife Army has such strong combat power. The previous battle is enough to prove that the Knife Army not only has long-distance raid capabilities, no one can match his right hand.

Moreover, the continuous combat capability is far greater than that of ordinary field troops. The 77th Army let go of its hands and feet, and both Indian troops will be doomed. For the Indian army, there is only one opportunity, that is, before Pei Chengyi could deploy artillery to Manigpur, concentrate his efforts to kill the sword troops, and then capture Manigpur, forcing Pei Chengyi to shrink his defense line, and finally deal with the airborne thug staked in Fatahpur, and complete the counterattack operation.

The question is, how much hope is there to fight like this?

On the night of the day, the main force of the Bhopal Army had just arrived in Edavao, and the vanguard troops had been divided into two routes, rushing to Zhanxi and Murwara respectively. Although the Indian army's movement speed was not slow, the sword army's speed was faster. In the evening, the sword army's armored assault brigade surrounded Zhanxi and was expected to occupy Zhanxi before dawn, and the Indian army's vanguard troops could not arrive in Zhanxi before dawn; the 3rd Armored Assault brigade had occupied Sedena, which was only one step away from Murwara. Even if the brigade stayed overnight in Sedena, he could still arrive in Murwara before the Indian army's vanguard and establish a defense line in Murwara. Because Manigpur was under the control of the Chinese army, the Bhopal Army temporarily adjusted the battle arrangements and put Zhanxi, who was originally the primary target, behind, and decided to attack Murwara first.

That is to say, the first battle will break out in Murvara.

For the Indian army, the biggest problem is the speed of the march.

Before the main Indian army could reach Edavao, the Chinese Air Force's blocking bombing began.

Although the bombing intensity is not very high, mainly because there are thugs from the nearest Chinese air force base in Edavao. The maximum combat radius when carrying a 2-ton bomb is only 4,000 meters, and it is impossible to stay over the battlefield for a long time. However, the requirements for air stagnation time are not high, and it does not require a focus on attacking armored troops. The main reason is to delay the movement speed of ground troops. When threatened by air, the Indian army can only choose to march at night, and set off at most 2 hours before dark, and must stop advancing within 2 hours after dawn and camouflage and conceal on the spot. In this way, the Bhopal Army can only advance kilometers every day, while the sword army can move more than kilometers without reducing its combat effectiveness.

If the marching speed cannot keep up with the sword army, it will not be able to take the initiative on the battlefield.

If you don’t even have the initiative, why do you eliminate the sword army?

However, the Indian army had no choice but to annihilate the Knife Army as soon as possible.

To this end, the Indian army proposed the tactic of concentrating forces and annihilation of each.

It has to be said that this is the best tactic the Indian army can find under the current circumstances, and it has also grasped the key points.

The three combat brigades of the sword army took action separately. The Indian army considered the most powerful No. 2 Armored Assault Brigade with the most powerful combat effectiveness, did not go south, but went to Fatahpur to support the airborne brigade. The Armored Assault Brigade, which ranked second in combat effectiveness, was entangled with the Indian army in Zhanxi. The Digong Armored Assault Brigade, who was the worst in combat effectiveness, was the Indian army who decided to attack Murwala first. In addition to wanting to defeat Manigpur as soon as possible, they also had a big laugh with the Armored Assault Brigade. If they could kill the 7th Armored Assault Brigade in a battle, it would not only make the officers and soldiers of the Bhopal Group Army believe that victory is right in front of them, but also stimulate the morale of the entire India's war of resistance. You must know that until now, the Indian army has not yet been able to annihilate the Chinese army of the company or above on the battlefield!

Is the fact really as the Indian army hoped?

If the number can indicate combat effectiveness, then the Aojun is not the number one ace army of the Republic Army, and the airborne thugs Shao Brigade is not the number one combat brigade of the old army. In the sword army, the combat brigade has a comparable combat effectiveness. Judging from past results, the performance of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade is above the other two brigades. During the Peninsula War, the strategic detour against the US Marines, forcing the US military to surrender collectively was the Digong Armored Assault Brigade; the capture of Cheongzhou and assisting the Aojun Armored Assault Brigade to capture Seoul was also the Digong Armored Assault Brigade, which was also known as the Rapid Response Brigade at that time.

It is definitely not an easy task to kill the Digong Armored Assault Brigade.

More importantly, both Duqiwei and Indian generals only saw what was on the surface.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi asked the engineers to build the railway and achieved the effect of winning all the results.

First, the Bhopal Army has no way out and can only grit the bullet and fight the decisive battle with the sword army. Secondly, the Fatehpur Army must go south as soon as possible to support the Bhopal Army. Although this effect has not yet been shown, as long as the Bhopal Army suffers, the Fatehpur Army will definitely give up the operation of besieging the airborne Bourbon and head south under the obstruction of the Second Armored Assault Brigade. This move not only relieves the threats of the airborne 3rd Brigade, but also annihilates the Indian Army 2

The foundation was laid. Then the garrison of Allah Abad must fight back with all its strength and cut off the railway line south of its position, rather than sticking to the waiting for assistance, so that the fallen army can eliminate Allah Agede's Indian army in an easy position defense war. It makes it easier to attack the Angs. Finally, it is to eliminate the Indian army with a large number of vitality, so that the two strategic defense lines of the Indian army are full of loopholes, and provide Pei Chengyi with more strategic choices; to achieve this pound, the purpose must be to annihilate three Indian troops.

When later generations evaluated Pei Chengyi's command characteristics, everyone praised this action as a classic work.

It is precisely because of this, "the battle between the battle of the Indian army. The battlefield was located between the northern defense line and the southern defense line and was written into a military textbook. "The railway tactics have become the research of many military scientists.

Is it temptation or force?

No one could say it correctly, and no one could say it clearly. Judging from the situation at that time, Pei Chengyi's move was both a purpose of seduction and a role of coercion.

Of course, the key to whether the entire campaign can be completed successfully depends on the action, not on the trick.

On the night of the day and night, the advance troops of the Air Turkic Brigade arrived in Manigpur.

Transportation and supply operations are carried out at the same time. Equipment with personnel and weight below stew is transported by vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, equipment with quality above stew is transported by railways, and combat materials are transported by railways and airdrops. According to the order issued by Pei Chengyi, this night, not only the Digong Artillery Brigade that stayed in Banda must arrive in Manigpur, but the Dibi Thugs and Diacau Artillery Brigade of the Arctic Army must also arrive in Manigpur. The low-altitude strike troops of the Air Brigade will arrive in Manigpur after the light of the airplane are mainly due to the temporary take-off and landing site of the fighter jets.

It was able to be leveled at night as planned. Pei Chengyi did not rush to send the Wushu Army's 2008 Artillery Brigade. The main reason is that the Wushu Army is still stationed in Nepal, and the heavy equipment can be airlifted to Patna and then transported by railway. The whole process takes 2 days. More importantly, Manigpur's capacity is limited. After the four artillery brigades were blocked, there was no place to accommodate the two kilograms of the driving force, and the artillery brigade. He could only wait until the engineering troops completed the Manigpur project, and then choose a more suitable deployment location for the two artillery brigades of the army.

The Air Force and the Army Aircraft Transportation Forces were tired enough

At dawn, transportation work is still underway.

After the main artillery was deployed, the main transport of combat materials was the ones.

From a logistical point of view, this is almost an incomplete task.

The actual size of the four artillery brigades of the three armies is equivalent to that of the 7th artillery brigade. The organization of the artillery brigade is too "barbaric". If all electromagnetic guns fire at the maximum speed, they can throw 80,000 tons of shells within the time of the thug! Even at the normal combat speed, each artillery fires 4 shells per minute, stops for 4 minutes and 6 minutes to cool the track, and the ammunition consumption can be about four tons of blades. The duration of a large-scale armored battle is around the time of the mind. If the battle is not smooth, it may last for hours. The artillery undertakes half of the support tasks and needs to prepare 40,000 to 80,000 tons of shells in advance. A train with a concave tray can transport four tons of ammunition at a time, and the train needs to deliver 80,000 tons of shells.

From Varanasi to Manigpur, up to four small trains are driven every day. There is no doubt that railway transportation cannot meet the needs of front-line combat, so it can only continue to use air transport forces.

The actual situation is that in case of prevention, Yuan Chenhao asked the logistics troops to transport at least ten thousand tons of ammunition to Manigpur before the start of the battle and prepare for the emergency transportation of ten thousand tons of ammunition. In other words, if the battle breaks out at noon on the 10,000-ton of ammunition, even if all transportation forces are mobilized, they can only transport old ten thousand tons of artillery shells to the front line. Moreover, the trains carrying ammunition cannot return to Varanasi at this time.

As a last resort, the logistics force could only send all forces, including the five stew-grade heavy-load trucks.

These heavy-load trucks were originally used to transport humanitarian aid supplies to the war refugees in Patna. Nearly half of them did not belong to the Republic Army, but were the "property of the Bangladesh Army." Under the forced recruitment, the Bangladesh Army not only did not complain, but instead sent truck drivers to actively cooperate. This made Pei Chengyi very pleased. When writing the battle report, he also particularly strongly helped the support and help provided by the Bangladesh Army.

The Chinese army made every effort to transport combat supplies to Manigpur, which immediately attracted the attention of the Indian army.

There is no doubt that the battle is about to begin.

After repeatedly measuring the pros and cons, Gujarad asked the Bhopal Army to stop at Damo, about a kilometer west of Murwara, and then ordered the Fatehpur Army to turn south and attack Banda.

It can be said that this is Gujarad's "extraordinary performance"

Although the reaction speed was a little slower, after the Fatahpur Army headed south, it was not Gujarad, but Pei Chengyi. In other words, if the ASBM could not stop the Fatahpur Army and let the Indian army control Banda, the ASBM and the Lena Armored Assault Brigade could only fight on their own. Gujarad asked the Fatahpur Army to attack Banda, which was to divide the 77th Army. Next, the Digong Armored Assault Brigade had to use a thug to form a main force army.

Is there still a need to fight like this?

Of course it is necessary, and very necessary!
