Chapter 138 Happy too early
7 In the afternoon, the Fatahpur Army broke through the thug of the Armored Assault Brigade's bar::Xiao. Invade Banda.
At this moment, Fengjilad saw hope. Rulajapani saw hope, and even Duchiwei, who was far away on the other side of the earth, saw hope.
Although the cost of capturing Banda was too high, during the battle lasted for an hour, the Fatahpur Army lost one-third of its troops, and the four infantry divisions were defeated by the whirlwind rapid assault of the Armored Assault Brigade and long-range artillery fire. The other two-thirds of its troops were also seriously damaged, with a total of more than 60,000 casualties. But the harvest was also huge. The sword thug, the magnificent brigade, also became a dead chess. Most importantly, the Fatahpur Army did not disappoint Gujarad's hope and completed the battle division task of the sword brigade.
Is the Indian Army worthy of happiness?
Of course it is worth being happy, because this is the first time that the Indian army has defeated a reorganized brigade of the Chinese Army in a frontal battle!
Before the battle was over, India's propaganda department began to take action. In the evening of that day, major news media in the world focused on reporting the battle in Guida. Chinese news media also reported on it, but they did not inject too much emotional color. As usual, it seemed that the battle in Banda had nothing to do with the Chinese army.
This is absolutely exciting news for India, which has suffered consecutive defeats.
On the evening of the day, citizens of New Delhi organized a parade to celebrate the Indian army's victory in the "Banda Victory"
The people's leaks are understandable. Because of death, India's storm is so in need of leaks. But soldiers and politicians must not be blinded by leaks, because what is the battle between Banda?
Nothing counts!
With the support of long-range artillery, the Talent Armored Assault Brigade not only defeated four Indian infantrymen and eliminated more than 60,000 Indian troops, but also suffered little loss. When it arrived at Gidlergood, its combat effectiveness was still intact.
The complete preservation of the A assault Brigade is only one of them. More importantly, the Indian army faces a dilemma.
Should we fight the Armored Assault Brigade first, or the Armored Assault Brigade first?
If we don't look at the deployment of the Indian army, we will definitely be the first to attack the Armored Assault Brigade. Because the Armored Assault Brigade retreated to Gidlegood, it was less than a thousand meters away from Manigpur and only a thousand kilometers away from the Armored Assault Brigade of the Sword 3, and it can help the Armored Assault Brigade within a few hours. The problem is that it is impossible not to look at the deployment of the Indian army, and it is impossible to fight in the most ideal way.
The Bhopal Army has arrived in Damo, only half a day away from Murwala. At this time, adjust the direction of the attack. It will take at least two days and three nights to turn the Bhopal Army toward Zhanxi. Even if there is no consideration for how many tanks and tanks will be destroyed by the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and the Army Aviation Thugs during these two days and three nights, and with the Chinese army's battlefield movement capabilities, it will definitely be able to complete the force adjustment. Break through the defense line of the Fatahpur Army in Banda, rescue the armored assault brigade, or rush to assist the armored assault brigade, and fight a large-scale armored battle with the Bhopal Army in Zhanxi. Because the long-range artillery deployed in Manigpur can hit the shells to Zhanxi, there is basically no difference between the decisive battle with the sword army in Zhanxi and the decisive battle with the sword army in Murwala, and the Indian army must withstand the decisive battle with the long-range artillery fire.
Judging from the deployment of the Indian army, attacking Murvara is still the best choice.
In fact, even if the Indian army focused on Cambridge before, let the Bhopal Army move northward from Edavao. After blocking the Fatahpur Army, the A assault Brigade will definitely turn to Cambridge to ensure that more troops are invested on the main battlefield. It will not give the Indian army the opportunity to defeat each.
Although this question is simple, there are still many Indian generals who cannot withstand the temptation.
Not to mention that the commander of the Bhopal Group Army is ready to move, even Gujarad is shaken. If the Difen Armored Assault Brigade can be killed, the strategic passage from Bhopal to Kanpur can be opened. At this time, the Indian army can only detour Agra in the northwest to Kanpur, and the mileage will increase above the gills. It will also build a strategic defense line in the areas east of Kanpur and Bhopal to block the pace of the Chinese army's advance westward. More importantly, annihilation of the Armored Assault Brigade will definitely be more exciting than repelling the 7th Armored Assault Brigade. If a "great victory." Even if it loses two days and two nights, it will still win greater hope for India.
That's right, on the night of thousands of days, the Bhopal Army did not advance towards Murwala on time.
After discovering this situation, one person laughed, while the other person went from the top of his head to the thug.
The person who laughed must be Pei Chengyi, because the stupidity of the Indian army was exactly in line with his expectations.
The other person is naturally Duchwit.
No matter what Gujarad wants to do, the last thing he should do is to let the Bhopal Army stop in Damo!
That night, Duchiwei personally spoke to Gujarad and clearly warned the Indian Army Chief of Staff that the Bhopal Army must set off immediately and that no matter which direction it is headed, he cannot stay in Damo.
Du Qiwei was not happy at all at this time, and the stupid Indian general turned Wang Gangsheng's hope into despair.
In Duqiwei's words, if you don't even understand the opponent's intentions, why should you defeat your opponent?
What is the purpose of Pei Chengyi asking the Dizhou Armored Assault Brigade to block the Fatehpur Army in Banda?
Perhaps many people think that Pei Chengyi wants to keep Banda. He is indeed a tricky person!
If Banda is to be defended, Pei Chengyi should not let the Dizhou Armored Assault Brigade block the Fatahpur Army in the form of mobile warfare. Instead, build a defensive position in Banda. The thugs are much more Banda? As long as the 7th Armored Assault Brigade attacks the position defense war, not to mention that the Fatahpur Army can do nothing, even the Bhopal Army may not be able to do anything. Although in many people's eyes, the Armored Assault Brigade retreated to Banda under the pursuit of the Fatahpur Army and did not have time to build a defensive position in Banda, with the maneuvering speed of the Dizhou Armored Assault Brigade, it is easy to get rid of the Fatahpur Army, let alone build a defensive position. Even if you bask in Banda for a few hours, it is not a problem.
There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi never thought of defending Banda.
The mission of the A assault Brigade was either to guard Banda or to lure the Fatahpur Army toward the south. Obviously, Pei Chengyi's purpose was still to rescue the airborne distillation brigade. The Fatahpur Army was unable to return in time and could not pose a threat to the airborne thugs. More importantly, after occupying Banda, no matter what the Bhopal Army next took, the Fatahpur Army had to stay in Banda, and had to defend Banda to the death, preventing the three brigades of the Knife Army from joining the Bhopal Army to help the Bhopal Army annihilate the Knife Army. In this way, the Fatahpur Army was firmly restrained in Banda. He could neither move at will nor meet with the Bhopal Army.
From another perspective, isn’t this the battle goal that Pei Chengyi wants to achieve?
The Indian army wanted to annihilate the Daoyang by defeating each way, and Pei Chengyi also wanted to kill two armies in the same way.
Regardless of the specific tactics, in order to achieve the goal, you must concentrate your superior forces on the local battlefield, and you must find ways to restrain one enemy and create opportunities to annihilate another enemy.
Compared with his opponent, Pei Chengyi only considered one more issue, that is, his opponent's intentions.
Long before the Bhopal Army headed north, Pei Chengyi concluded that the Indian army would fight against the sword army in various ways. If it was too extreme and did not give the Indian army any hope, the Bhopal Army would definitely stop advancing soon after departure, and at most garrisoned in Edada. Edavao is hundreds of kilometers away from the main battlefield. Even if the sword army can rush over to the thugs, it can only fight decisively on the battlefield chosen by the enemy. It is difficult to take the initiative. More importantly, the Bhopal Army has a main division, three of which are armored divisions. With the combat power of the sword army, there is still some hope for mobile warfare. Not only does positional warfare suffer great losses, but the hope of annihilation of the enemy is very slim. If you want to avoid positional warfare,
We have to lead the Indian army out and fight to the decisive battle on the battlefield chosen by Pei Chengyi, so that the sword army will take the initiative. It is precisely because Pei Chengyi let the sword army divide the troops into two groups before the Bhopal Group Army head north, and only let a brigade move towards Fatahpur. At first, Pei Chengyi was a little worried that this simple trick would be seen through by Du Qiwei, which would make the entire battle plan lose its operability. As the Bhopal Group Army headed north, Pei Chengyi's concern no longer exists. In fact, no matter whether Du Qiwei saw it or not, the Indian army had no other choice. The sword army was embedded in the junction of the two strategic defense lines of the Indian army, and the Indian army had to launch a counterattack and had to kill the sword army.
After judging the opponent's tactical arrangements, other things are much simpler.
The so-called "to take it, you must first give it to the armored assault brigade to capture and occupy the west. Although there is a risk of dispersing troops, it can reveal a big flaw, making the Indian army think that the time to annihilate the sword army is ripe, so that they concentrate their forces to launch an attack in a certain direction. In order to lead the Indian army to a more favorable battlefield, that is, Murwara, closer to Manigpur, Pei Chengyi had to concentrate all his transportation forces and send artillery and supplies to Manigpur on the outing day. This move had an immediate effect. The Indian army indeed chose Murwara as the main target of attack. It can be seen that building railways in Allahabad and deploying artillery to Manigpur is the finishing touch of the entire battle. It is the most far-reaching significance and can best reflect the "ability of the front-line commander to make a thug in the battle.
By this point, the Indian army had lost the battle.
Next, the Indian army's actions were not only completely within Pei Chengyi's control, but also had no room for rotation.
After the Fatahpur Army occupied Banda, even if the Indian army adopted the most advantageous tactics: the Bhopal Army immediately set out from Damo and attacked Murwara; the Fatahpur Army sent some troops to attack Gidlegood, dragged the Diqi Armored Assault Brigade, and the rest of the troops built defensive positions in Banda. The Indian army had no hope of winning.
Judging from the battlefield situation, the Diysan Armored Assault Brigade arrived in Murwala would not have a head-on battle with the Bhopal Army, and Pei Chengyi would not allow the Diysan Armored Assault Brigade to disrupt his battle deployment. The most likely situation is that the Diysan Armored Assault Brigade will retreat while fighting. Using about a kilometer distance from Murwala to Manigpur, we will fortify layer by layer in Mehl, Sedena and other places along the way. Make full use of the rapid assault capabilities of the armored assault troops to use the mobile warfare
Multi-level blocking of the Bhopal Army in a manner that slows down the opponent's assault speed. For armored forces, slowing down the advancement speed without air supremacy is equivalent to a dead end. In the end, even if the Bhopal Army can approach Manigpur, it is still at the end of its strength and cannot take the last step. When the Bhopal Army stops its attack, when the Knife Army launches a counterattack, the assault ability of the Republic Army will inevitably annihilate the Bhopal Army with a destructive force.
The Bhopal Army is over. Can the Fatahpur Army still survive? Chen Puzhi, the armored assault brigade is struggling to fight in the south again, otherwise the Dizhou Armored: Second Meeting will not let the Fatahpur Army escape.
The most likely situation is that after the battle begins, the Armored Assault Brigade, the Armored Assault Brigade, took the initiative to attack and defeat the Indian army that came to restrain its operations. Then launch a counterattack in the direction of Banda. Let the Fatehpur Army keep all the main forces in Banda and fight the attack of the Armored Assault Brigade in a deadly manner. Although it is difficult to kill the Fatahpur Army, which is several times larger than its own, it will definitely be able to hold back the army. After annihilation of the Bhopal Army, then concentrate troops to annihilate the Fatahpur Army.
In fact, this is also the battle steps arranged by Pei Chengyi.
Although even Duchiwei didn't believe that the Armored Assault Brigade could kill the Bhopal Group Army by just the throwing armored assault brigade, don't forget to stay in the Armored Assault Brigade in the West. Because the Indian army concentrated its main force in the Murwala direction, there were basically no Indian army in the West. Even if we consider the long-term, Pei Chengyi should not give up the Armored Assault Brigade, and he could leave some forces to guard the Armored West, and then let the main force go south.
There is a question here, that is, the main traffic lines are under the control of the Indian army.
Don’t ignore the field marching capabilities of the ASB Brigade. As a veritable armored assault brigade, the main equipment of the unit is tracked, not wheeled, and has extremely powerful field marching capabilities. Although some logistics equipment, such as the power supply system that replenishes the power of tanks and tanks, is placed on heavy-wheeled trucks. The field marching capabilities are poor. However, the Republic’s Army has long achieved the unified equipment. The combat troops of the ASB Brigade can provide support after reaching the battlefield. If Pei Chengyi feels it is necessary, he can even draw logistics support troops from other strategic reflex forces to provide support for the combat troops of the ASB Brigade.
Don’t ignore the essence of the Athletic Brigade. As a strategic reactive army, the Knife Army was the first field army of the Republic’s Army to achieve lightweight construction. Although it is not an airborne army, according to the lightweight standards of the Republic’s Army, all the main equipment of the Strategic Reactive Army can be transported through vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft. Of course, this will be more troublesome. For example, if the main battle tank is driven, you have to remove additional armor before air transportation, and take away part of the main armor, and then use the jiyaowan to air transport. It takes a few hours to assemble when you arrive at the front line.
It can be said that whether to use the A assault Brigade or not is just a matter of order.
Even though the two brigades still find it difficult to get over the Bhopal Army, Pei Chengyi still has time to break through the old brigade and the deceased army who can arrive in Manigpur within the Hanbu time.
If these two troops are included, let alone annihilated the Bhopal Army, it is not a problem to attack Kanpur and Bhopal. Of course, without absolute necessity, Pei Chengyi will not use the army to send troops out. The main reason is that the army is one of the most severe losses and casualties in large-scale combat operations in the previous stage. If calculated by the army, the loss of the army will be the greatest, and the condition has not been very good.
For Pei Chengyi, the ideal choice is to make good use of the air and old voyage.
There is one problem that even Duqiwei didn't realize, that is the logistics support of the Indian army.
Like the infantry-based troops like the Fatahpur Army, basically do not need to consider logistics support. However, troops like the Bhopal Army, which are mainly armored troops, must consider logistics support.
Although the equipment of the Bhopal Army is very advanced, Siwang has the capital to compete with the Concaoyan, and Siwang also has the capital to fight against the Concao Nikou, the Indian army only obtains combat equipment, not a full set of equipment. According to the equipment of the US Army, these electric vehicles are equipped with mobile fusion nuclear power supply platforms, and controllable fusion reactors, especially small air-available fusion reactors for the army, are the most cutting-edge military technology. Not to mention that the United States will not sell them to India, it is not even provided.
What the British and Indian Army got was just a generator that burned diesel. That is to say, the Indian Army had a bunch of electric combat vehicles because it had to use diesel to generate electricity. Therefore, the logistics support pressure of the Indian Army did not decrease. Instead, due to the energy conversion efficiency of the generator, the power of the electric combat vehicle motor, etc., the logistics support pressure of the Indian Army became even greater. Even in daily marches, "the armored division consumed tons of diesel every day, and needed to occupy the thug train or use a heavy truck.
From Bhopal to Murwara, the railway mileage exceeds 10,000 kilometers and the highway mileage exceeds 10,000 kilometers.
There is no doubt that such a long logistics supply line is the most deadly fatal point of the Indian army.
As long as Pei Chengyi tries to cut off the Indian army's logistics supply line, let alone use the Armored Assault Brigade, when the Indian army burns out the diesel, the 7th Armored Assault Brigade can kill the Bhopal Group Army.
Striking the enemy's logistics supply line has always been the strength of the air burst troops.
With the assault speed of the air raid troops, even if the Bhopal Army immediately turned to escape, it would be too late.
It is precisely this that the Bhopal Army's stay in Damo is the most wrong behavior.
If you can attack forward, if you can capture Manigpur in time, there is still a glimmer of hope; if you can retreat backward, if you can reach Edavao in time, there is still a glimmer of hope.
No matter what, the Bhopal Army should never stay in Damo!
