Is Chengyi a kind of petty person? No one among those who know Pei Chengyi will have a relationship with Pei Chengyi. If Pei Chengyi is indeed the kind of villain who is vengeful in Luo Shaopeng's eyes, he might have achieved such great achievements and been valued by Xiang Yinghui. Is Wang Yuanqing appreciated it?

Standing at Pei Chengyi's height, he didn't need to be petty with a major general.

Of course, Pei Chengyi was also worried about what Luo Shaopeng was worried about.

As one of the two generals who are the most influential and enter the decision-making level of the Republic, Pei Chengyi had long known that the head of state was preparing for the third military reform. Because Xiang Yinghui directly assisted the head of state to formulate a military reform plan, he had a greater say in the military reform. In the words of Xiang Yinghui to tell Pei Chengyi, no matter what the Indian war was like, how the Republic's army performed, the military reform will definitely begin after the end of the war. It will never be left to the next head of state. Because the head of state has not announced the military reform, Xiang Yinghui did not say much. In fact, there is no need to say much. This sentence is enough to let Pei Chengyi see the future clearly.

Like economic reform and political reform, any reform is carried out under pressure and driven by crisis awareness.

To get the army to support military reform, we must first put forward sufficient persuasive reasons.

When Ji Yueguo implemented the first military reform, the reason was the serious problems exposed by the Republic's army in the Fourth India-Pakistan War and the East China Sea War. When Zhao Rundong implemented the second military reform, the reason was to learn from the experience of the Peninsula War to prepare for the Japanese war. Wang Yuanqing wanted to implement the third military reform. He also had to put forward reasons that could make the army develop a strong sense of crisis.

There is no doubt that the Indian War is enough to provide Wang Yuanqing with sufficient reasons.

The good fight of the army proves that the Republic's military strength is strong enough, and the possibility of fighting with "strategic" opponents like India in the next few decades is very small. There is no reason to maintain a huge military force. Disarmament will not only retain real talents and improve the treatment of soldiers. Thus, it will attract more social talents, but also use more national strength to economic construction and social development and improve comprehensive national strength. Only when the comprehensive national strength is fully enhanced can the army be provided with a stronger foundation to allow the army to develop better, and thus build a stronger army. In the long run, disarmament will not weaken the military strength of the Republic, but will instead enhance the military strength of the Republic. This reason is enough to allow military generals like Xiang Yinghui and Pei Chengyi, as well as most generals and senior officers with long-term vision to support military reform. With the support of the upper level of the army, there will be no resistance to military reform.

If the army fights poorly, there is even more reason to carry out military reforms. You should know that the first two military reforms are directly related to the problems exposed by the army in the war. At that time, Wang Yuanqing will find a reason to launch military reforms on the grounds that the national defense and security of the Republic are threatened. Not to mention the upper class of the army, even ordinary soldiers and most citizens will fully support military reforms. As long as the military reform begins, the government will decide how to change it.

Of course, Xiang Yinghui's words also told Pei Chengyi that the next head of state was likely to be Gu Weimin.

No one denies Wang Yuanqing's enthusiasm for reform. The problem is that Wang Yuanqing will leave office in four. Even if his abilities are very outstanding, it is impossible to complete military reforms within his term. That year, the first military reform implemented by Jishuguo was concluded by Zhao Rundong, and the second military reform implemented by Zhao Rundong was concluded by Wang Yuanqing. Then the third military reform implemented by Wang Yuanqing must have the next head of state. It is definitely not Yan Jingyu who has the ability to take over the baton and complete the third military reform, and it is even more impossible for Ye Zhisheng, but only Gu Weimin.

Once you understand this issue, it is not difficult to understand Wang Yuanqing's intention to appoint a deputy head of state during his second term.

Gu Weimin, who served as the chairman of the All Congress, was originally the second leader of the country. Adding the title of deputy head of state is simply a scammer.

Of course, Pei Chengyi didn't care who would take over. Anyway, anyone who went up had to follow Wang Yuanqing's route.

What he was concerned about was how large or in-depth the third military reform would be.

From the perspective of the military system, neither the military reforms implemented by Ji Jieguo and Zhao Rundong did not touch the fundamental problem. Judging from the motivation of the two to promote military reforms, it is impossible to change the basic military system, that is, the military region system. Wang Yuanqing's motivation for the third military reform was definitely not aimed at short-term goals, that is, real threats, but to establish a more effective military system for the Republic from a long-term perspective. In other words, the third military reform will fundamentally change the Republic's military system like political reforms.

If we really want to reach this point, the third military reform will definitely be extraordinary.

There is no need to say much about resistance, any reform has resistance. Political reform is enough to prove that Wang Yuanqing's motivation to advance reform is definitely much greater than that to obstruct the reform.

The key question is whether military reform can more effectively safeguard national interests.

Of course, for Pei Chengyi, who is in the front line command center, he has no time to consider this issue. He should not consider this issue.

Fighting this war is Pei Chengyi’s top priority.

The task arrangement for the fallen army reflects Pei Chengyi's clever means of flexibly applying military power.

The few field army on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, besides the sword army who have been "outing to fight soy sauce" in the northeastern region of India, and the 24th army has been "calling home for dinner" many times, the 24th army is the most relaxing. It is undeniable that the battle to break through the Songhe defense line has caused the sacred army to suffer enough, but what other field army has?

At this time, the airborne army basically lost its combat effectiveness. The sword army and Qishaoqu had to rest and replenish them. The army led the army to run back and forth several times on the battlefield. The Wu army suffered a lot of losses. Even the Island Army and the Blade Army paid a great price in the south attack. Everyone had difficulties, but no army used the problem as an excuse to go out and refused to work hard.

Pei Chengyi knew very well that it was not that Luo Shaopeng refused to work hard, but that Cong Jun did not get it.

See.

The method to increase the enthusiasm for fighting in the army is very simple, that is, to regard the Tang Army as the main force.

According to Yuan Chenhao's original idea, let the concave army and the sword army take the lead in turn. Just like the Zhang army and the guide army in the Gulf of Bengal, they took turns to attack, so that both troops could get a chance to breathe. Pei Chengyi directly rejected this plan and decided to give up the army and the sword army to participate in the battle in stages.

There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the formation army. As the three main strategic responsive forces of the Republic, the formation army has enough capital.

Yingjian means whether the concave army can perform normally on the battlefield.

If you use the right method, Pei Chengyi’s worries are redundant.

In the early morning of the month?, the army set out to attack Dole.

After the artillery fire was about to be completed when the thugs were ready, the concave army launched an attack from three directions in the southeast and west directions. Because the Mechanized Infantry Brigade deployed in the north needed to deal with threats from the Ujain direction, it did not participate in the combat operation of the attack on Dor.

After the ground attack attracted the attention of the Indian army, Luo Shaopeng used the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft of the Land Airlines to send an elite assault force composed of scouts into the city center and captured the Indian army command in one fell swoop.

After less than 3 hours of the battle, the commander of the Indore defender ordered the surrender.

When the news was sent to the front line command center, even Pei Chengyi was a little surprised.

Although Indore's defense is far inferior to Bhopal. It is not as good as Bhopal, and the underground fortifications connected by tunnel networks are not as good as Bhopal. The army has taken a lot of advantages in combat. However, the assault ability of the card army cannot be denied. At least, Luo Shaopeng's ability to command battles cannot be denied.

If Ling Yunxiao was asked to command this battle, it would definitely be even more bloody.

There is no doubt that Luo Shaopeng is a commander who knows how to fight with his mind. He is not a commander who works recklessly with strength.

The whistle was not enough. That is, when the battle in Indore was over and the thugs were over. Luo Shaopeng handed over the work of sheltering prisoners of war to the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, who was left behind and left behind. At the same time, the brigade continued to deal with the Indian army in the direction of Ujain. He led two combat brigades to go south at full speed.

The army launched the assault as possible. Pei Chengyi attached great importance to it.

In the afternoon of that day, almost all the battle reports were related to the military.

Taking the point and the vanguard of the Pai Army captured the Muhao Town in southwest of Indore. A assault force composed of two combat battalions attacked the southeast along the highway route, forcing the Indian army in that direction to retreat to the Nalmoda River defense line, Luo Shaopeng left only the thugs. The troops of the battalion were responsible for dealing with the remaining Indian army of Muhao, and the main force continued to advance southwest. When it was dark, the vanguard of the formation army had already reached the north bank of the Nalmoda River.

Such assault speed is enough to make the strategic reflex army, including the sword army, feel ashamed.

More importantly, the rapid assault speed once again gave up the army and ran ahead of time.

The Indian army guarding the Nalmoda River Highway Bridge learned that the army had captured Indore and was advancing southward. He never expected that the Pai Army would arrive so soon. Luo Shaopeng was also very cunning. When he set out from Jie Hao, he asked the scouts who acted as the vanguard to change into Indian uniforms and drove the Indian army's vehicles. He also brought several Indian prisoners of war. The Indian army guarding the highway and bridge saw that it was his own people. He was not prepared at all. When the scouts showed their weapons and occupied the bridge, the bridge guards had no time to detonate the explosives buried on the bridge piers. The entire Indian infantry battalion did not fire a single shot and was all captured.

The bridge on the Nalmoda River was occupied and the assault speed of the concave army was increased again.

Of course, this also left the engineering troops arranged by Pei Chengyi to be useless.

Before the early morning of the 8th of the month, the main force of the army successfully crossed the Nalmoda River. After the Mechanized Infantry Brigade handed over the task of guarding prisoners of war to the military police force sent by Pei Chengyi, he crossed the Nalmoda River before dawn on the 8th of the month and caught up with the main force that was heading south.

Although judging from the feedback from the army, the officers and soldiers were very excited and their energy was not a problem, Pei Chengyi still stopped at the early morning of the 8th of the 8th of the mouth and gave up the army to stop at the three-way intersection about a thousand meters away from the north bank of the Dabuti River. The defense line was deployed on the spot and the temporary rest was carried out.

No matter what Luo Shaopeng thought, Pei Chengyi knew that the ark army had to rest for several hours.

Luo Shaopeng didn't understand at first, because in his opinion, as long as he continued to advance, the army would definitely be able to cross the Dabuti River on the night of the 8th of the month and complete the combat mission. More importantly, if the army could complete the combat mission on the 8th of the month, the army would be able to continue to advance and would not give the sword army a chance to participate in the war. In Luo Shaopeng's opinion, the army could attack Surat in one breath. Even if he could not defeat Surat, he would not give the sword army a chance to stand out.

Because he was dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's arrangement, Luo Shaopeng sent a reconnaissance unit to advance towards Hillbuer in the name of deploying a defense line to find out Hillbuer's situation.

As the reconnaissance troops sent back the message, Luo Shaopeng was convinced.

After defending the Nalmoda River defense line was broken, Shirbul's defender B knew that the army was coming. When the reconnaissance troops arrived, the army had already entered the defensive position. When the army arrived, the army had questioned whether the assault speed of the concave army was fast, he would "get out the scouts to perform reconnaissance missions. In other words, it was impossible for the army to attack Shirbul to be captured like the Nalmoda River Highway Bridge.

It is not a problem to attack Hillbull. If you are not prepared to go out, you may fall in the Hillbull.

You know, the Dabuti River is south of Hilbur.

At the beginning, the Indian army was stopped by the Indian army in Songhe because the assault speed was too fast. The engineering troops responsible for building the bridge were left behind. When the engineering troops arrived, the Indian army had already repaired the defensive position on the other side of the river. Although the engineering troops were not prepared enough and did not consider the problems caused by the increase in the width of the river surface during the rainy season, it had an impact on the crossing of the river, but blind assaults from the army were also one of the main reasons. No matter how arrogant Luo Shaopeng was, he would not heal the scars and forget the pain.

Pei Chengyi called off in time. It was precisely to let the engineering troops catch up with the Cong Army and avoid making the same mistakes.

After calming down, Luo Shaopeng had to admit that he was far inferior to Pei Chengyi. As a battlefield commander, his ability to grasp the situation on the battlefield was not as good as the commander-in-chief of the front line thousands of miles away. No matter how much Luo Shaopeng had to say about Pei Chengyi, he had to admit Pei Chengyi's military talent.

In the afternoon, the engineering troops caught up and the formation army continued to advance.

Although the defenders of Hilpur had blown up the bridge on the Dabouti River. They were ready to fight back and forth, the concave army was prepared and did not attack blindly. More importantly, Luo Shaopeng knew that the Indian army wanted to give a head-on attack and made full use of this.

At the beginning of the battle, the assault troops had only one battalion. After encountering the Indian army's expedition, they immediately retreated. Then Luo Shaopeng sent several battalions one after another, and strictly controlled the time of each battalion to the end, so that the Indian army believed that the Chou Army did not know about the situation of Hilpur, and was suddenly resisted during a rapid march. The purpose of this move was only one. Let the Indian army stay in the defensive position honestly and prepare to fight against the main force of the outgoing army. The main force of the outgoing army

Instead of going to Hilpur, the troops led the engineering troops to the north bank of the Dabuti River about a kilometer east of Hilpur by crossing the road. After letting the reconnaissance troops pass by swimming, Luo Shaopeng asked the main force to deploy defense lines on both wings, and then asked the engineering troops to build bridges. In the evening, the first mechanized pontoon bridge was opened to traffic. The main force began to cross the river. As the second pontoon bridge was opened to traffic two hours later, the speed of the main force crossing the river doubled.

In the middle of the night, the main force of the fall army had reached the opposite bank of the river south of Hilpur.

As the sky brightened again, when the Indian army discovered that the main force of the army had crossed the Dabouti River and completely surrounded Shirbul, it immediately lost its will to resist and surrendered to the army.

It can be said that this assault operation from tomorrow night to the early morning of the moon fully demonstrated the assault ability of the army and fully proved Luo Shaopeng's tactical ability.

At this moment, Pei Chengyi intervened in the front line for the second time and gave up the army to stop advancing.

According to the combat plan, the army should indeed stop advancing at this time and hand over the assault mission to the sword army.

The problem is, in Luo Shaopeng's opinion, the combat effectiveness of the army is still very strong, and even if he doesn't rest, he can persist until after the old days. There is no reason to give up the army and stop. However, unlike the previous time, Luo Shaopeng has already had a direct understanding of Pei Chengyi's military talent, so he is not that

Pei Chengyi gave up the army and stopped the reason was very simple: the assault was hit too fast.

Assault operations are not to rush to the end in one breath. Strictly speaking, assault operations are not the purpose of war, but the means of war. Any means are for the purpose. If the goal is not achieved, no matter how good the means are, it is useless.

What is the purpose of Pei Chengyi's attack on the Concave Army?

Obviously, it was not because the army was given up to attack Surat. Because with the strength of the army, it could not defeat Surat.

According to the deployment of the front line command, the purpose of the attack was to open up the offensive route to Surat. The thug attack route was not just a traffic line, but also a traffic line that could provide guarantees for the front line troops' operations, and a safe and secure traffic line.

Generally speaking, railway lines with greater transportation capacity are the main transportation lines.

The problem is here. The fallen army attacked along the highway route and did not control the railway line at all. In other words, when they arrived at Shirpur, the army failed to open the railway line from Bhopal to Shirpur.

After leaving the army, Pei Chengyi immediately issued a new order, asking Luo Shaopeng to concentrate his troops and occupy towns such as Jairwang, Pusavor, Burhanpur, Kendva, Helda, and Italhi. He opened up the railway line from Bhopal to the south bank of the Dabouti River. Because most of the targets were between the Dabouti River and the Nalmoda River, the 24th Army not only had to stop, but also launched an attack.

As Luo Shaopeng's identity, it is impossible not to understand the importance of this railway line.

Even if it is not for the sake of the sword army, if the main force of the Pi army wants to gain a foothold on the south bank of the Dabuti River, it will definitely require a large amount of combat supplies. To transport enough combat supplies, you have to control this railway line.

After leaving the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Non-Milky on the south bank of the Dabuti River, Luo Shaopeng personally led two combat brigades to assault eastward, and launched a "reverse attack" along the railway line according to Pei Chengyi's order.

At this time, Pei Chengyi's attention was no longer on the army.

The desire to attack New Delhi has begun. Pei Chengyi has to fight the battle in the west with all his strength!
Chapter completed!
