Chapter 62: Bold

When Khan Dongshi was fighting with the Indian army on the outskirts of Siliguri, Ling Yunxiao came to the Howl

I have to admit that Ling Yunxiao is a "cow man". 【Reading.com】

failed to contact Pei Chengyi, and Ling Yunxiao couldn't care so much, and immediately ordered the battalion commanders of the Rapid Reverse Cutting Brigade Fighter Artillery Battalion and the Zhanzhao Logistics Battalion to be a big difference, and it was impossible to disobey the order given by the general. Later, this incident also made Ling Yunxiao and Shang Xueyun turn their faces, and the two almost went to court-martial.

In any case, Ling Yunxiao used the "barrel of a gun" to let the combat units of the Quick Back Knife Fighter Brigade get on the transport plane first.

While Li Dongshi was eagerly hoping that the other two combat battalions would arrive as soon as possible, it was the fast combat units that arrived at the field airfield first.

As before, Ling Yunxiao rushed to the front line with the first battalion.

Knowing that Li Dongshi had led his troops to attack Siliguri, Ling Yunxiao was not surprised. Didn't feel angry either. Because the brigade commander who crawled out of the pile of dead people was one of the few "tough guys" that Ling Yunxiao admired.

The question now is what the state brigade that arrives on the battlefield will be able to do.

Participation in the assault on Siliguri? Ling Yunxiao didn't want to eat the leftover soup and water left by others, and the airborne thug Shao Brigade dared to attack Siliguri alone, and he must have received the support of the military department. No matter how bad Shang Xueyun is, he will also arrange a support brigade of the airborne occupation army to provide support for Li Dongshi. Compared to the offensive force that concentrated all the essence of the airborne occupation army, the speed brought by Ling Yunxiao was nothing. When the time comes, Siliguri will be defeated, and it will be the airborne brigade that will make meritorious contributions, let alone the sword army.

According to the battle plan drawn up by the front command, the main task of the occupation army and the sword army was to capture the western gate of the eastern part of India, and the attack on Siliguri was only a concrete operation. To achieve the same goal. There are other means that can be employed. For example, Quanquan advanced westward, attacking Gischengenj in the northeastern part of Harbang.

Of course, Ling Yunxiao had another option, and that was to deal with the defenders in the eastern region of India.

The problem is, Ling Yunxiao's "ambition." It's too ambitious.

Although the annihilation of the defenders in eastern India was the main task of the first battle on the Eastern Front, no matter how well it was fought, it was to annihilate the remnants of the enemy, not to expand the results. Just lay down Siliguri. The Indian army in the east will collapse quickly, and no matter which unit is sent there, it will be able to complete its combat mission.

In Ling Yunxiao's eyes, the Sword Army is a strategic reaction force. It is necessary to carry out strategic offensive tasks.

More importantly, the Sword Army is a combat unit that is good at long-distance running, crossing Siliguri. Attack on Gissengenje. It is the skill of the sword army.

Just after the ugly point, after the knife thug battalion was ready to go, Ling Yunxiao led the troops on the road.

Because of the limited airlift capacity, even if Ling Yunxiao sent a reconnaissance battalion of airborne fighters to the front line, the other two combat battalions, an artillery battalion belonging to the 7th Artillery Brigade, and three battalions directly under the military headquarters could only reach the front line in the third airlift that began at 4 a.m. on August.

Using about two-thirds of the brigade's strength to launch an in-depth assault, only Ling Yunxiao can do it.

Suddenly, as a military commander, he directly commanded a catty, and only Ling Yunxiao could do it to "downsize" the brigade to fight.

Anyway. Ling Yunxiao's intentions were very clear.

The knife thug battalion bypassed Siliguri from the north, and the old blade battalion under Li Dongshi was cleaning the battlefield at this time.

Through the battlefield information sharing system, Ling Yunxiao knew that Li Dongshi was organizing an attack. Although he didn't see Li Dongshi, Ling Yunxiao could completely guess Li Dongshi's mood. 2 combat battalions were left in the rear and could not reach the front line until the third airlift. Li Dongshi must have been very annoyed.

With Ling Yunxiao's character, he wouldn't care so much.

In his opinion, as long as the sword army has amazing moves, there is no problem in taking Siliguri later.

What Ling Yunxiao didn't expect was that the Indian army stationed in Siliguri did not show up and passed through from the north. Armored forces that are assaulting in full west.

At that time, the air force of the Republic of China had already seized air supremacy on the battlefield, and electronic warfare planes moved south into the skies over Sikkim to carry out electronic suppression of the Indian army near Siliguri, and the Indian army's electronic reconnaissance means were completely paralyzed. The battle to the east of Siliguri has just ended. The Indian army is busy consolidating the defensive line and preparing for the next offensive of the Airborne Forces. Didn't pay attention to the situation in the north. What's more. The scale of Ling Yunxiao's unit was too small, so he attacked an armored battalion, and the other three combat battalions were all prepared and successively left from the field airfield, the two artillery battalions remained on the artillery positions outside the field airfield, the logistics battalion was sandwiched in the middle of the combat battalion and advanced westward, and the reconnaissance battalion was left at the rear. That is, when passing through Siliguri. The combat units of the Quick Anti-Knife Brigade dispersed their actions.

I'm afraid that only Ling Yunxiao dares to let the troops disperse under the nose of the enemy.

With the situation at that time, if the Indian army showed a quick backsword thug brigade to cut off the waist, Ling Yunxiao would not be able to care about each other.

Obviously, there are also advantages to being bold.

The assault units of the Flying Point Blade Brigade all passed through Siliguri.

Rushing to the front of the 7, the rush turned southward and made a breakthrough along the road line in the direction of Kischenenje

I have to admit that the action of the fast reaction force is too fast. Within minutes, the battalion of knife fighters had struck hundreds of kilometers westward, without stopping at all.

Ling Yunxiao's order was very simple, if he encountered a small group of enemy troops, he would be dealt with by scouts, and if he encountered a large group of enemy troops, he would directly bypass them.

There was only one purpose of the offensive, that is, to reach Gissengenj as quickly as possible, and the Indian army was taken by surprise.

Ling Yunxiao's wishful thinking played loudly. As long as the brigade of quick backlashers occupies Gissengenje, it will gain the advantage of being able to attack and retreat. When the time comes. The sword army was all concentrated in Gissengenje, leaving the task of annihilating the Indian army in the east to other combat units. The fiercer the fighting in the east, the more reinforcements the Indian army had. If Pei Chengyi didn't have the whim to let the airborne troops come over to help, the task of blocking the reinforcements of the Indian army would fall to the sword army. Gischengenj is located on the Gangetic plain. Only by fighting an armored battle with the Indian army on the plains of the extensive attack can the strength of the 77th Army be fully reflected, and let the traditional ace troops such as the Wu Army and the Hurry Army know the strength of the Sword Army.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the brigade of swift fighters must capture Gischengenja before the airborne forces take Siliguri.

The reason is simple, as long as Siliguri is captured, the operation to attack Gischengenja is not very important. With limited transportation capacity and the inability to send too many troops to the front line, Pei Chengyi is likely to "intercept" the other combat units of the Knife Army and let the Knife Army participate in the battle in the east. Only by taking down Gischengenj as soon as possible and occupying the Indian army airfield over there can Pei Chengyi make up his mind to defend the gate to the hinterland of India and let the sword army act as the vanguard.

Ling Yunxiao was arrogant again. I didn't dare to fight against Pei Chengyi.

It can be said that except for Xiang Linghui. What Ling Yunxiao admires most is Pei Chengyi. As the commander-in-chief of the front, Pei Chengyi holds the "power of life and death" of all the troops participating in the war. If Pei Chengyi is really provoked, an order can make the sword army obediently stay in the rear and watch other troops fight on the front line and make meritorious contributions.

Ling Yunxiao also knows Pei Chengyi's personality very well, as long as the sword army fights well, Pei Chengyi will not embarrass him.

At the beginning of the battlefield on the peninsula, the sword army went south without authorization. almost messed up the third battle, if it weren't for Pei Chengyi's secret help, Ling Yunxiao would have lost the "black yarn hat" long ago.

The key is whether the quick anti-knife can complete the task well.

The assault was very decisive and very fast. Along. The battalion of tamers acted in strict accordance with the orders of the army commander and did not entangle with the Indian troops along the way.

To Ling Yunxiao's surprise, the Indian army did not "entangle." Swift anti-knife thug brigade.

In order to find out why, Ling Yunxiao had the Scout perform a tongue-scratching mission during the march.

After the interrogation of the captured Indian soldiers. Ling Yunxiao only knew. The Indian army on the entire eastern battlefield was paralyzed. Not only did it not know the fighting situation at the front. It is not even known where the army of the republic has hit.

Hearing this news, Ling Yunxiao's momentum became even stronger.

Suddenly, Ling Yunxiao did not forget the most important thing, that is, to upload the information he had to the battlefield information network. Let other combat units also know the specific situation of the Indian army.

In August, the thug battalion arrived on the outskirts of Gischenenje.

Ling Yunxiao did not let the troops deploy, but let 2 tank companies take the lead, let 4 infantry companies follow, and directly attack the Indian army headquarters according to the image of the Indian army camp provided by the small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

I have to say that Ling Yunxiao not only has guts, but also brains.

Under the circumstances, if Ling Yunxiao allowed his troops to attack, he would have to wait until the three combat battalions behind him arrived before he would have enough troops to defeat Gissengenje's Indian army. To put it more seriously, even if Ling Yunxiao concentrates the strength of the four combat battalions and lets the two artillery battalions remaining at the field airfield provide fire support, it may not be able to defeat Gischengenj in one go, and may even fall into a heavy encirclement. You know, the Indian army stationed in Gissengenj has an infantry division of thugs. There is a lot of risk that comes with it.

With limited troops, the only way to attack Gissengenj is to attack by surprise.

After smashing the Indian army's headquarters, the Indian army will become a plate of scattered sand, and when the time comes to fight with the Indian army, it will be able to rely on artillery support and air support to break the fighting spirit of the Indian army, so that the Indian army will take the initiative to retreat without knowing what to do.

The effect of the sudden attack was very good.

It was only when they broke through the defensive line outside the Indian camp that the Indian officers and men reacted. The Indian army, which was in a hurry to meet the battle, had no time to organize a resistance, let alone threaten Biyin. After a round of impact, the armored battalion stationed near the headquarters of the Indian army was annihilated by 2 tank companies. Dozens... 3. And the spider became scrap copper and rotten iron. The Kou Infantry Battalion followed the tanks and attacked. At such a close distance, a falling millimeter electromagnetic cannon can destroy the main battle tank of the Indian army. What's more, small-caliber electromagnetic guns are more useful than large-caliber electromagnetic guns when fighting Indian infantry. Because infantry fighting vehicles have a much larger ammunition base than tanks, there is no need to worry too much about ammunition in battle.

It only took a few minutes for the Knife Fighter battalion to capture the headquarters of the Jey-Indian army in Gissengen.

When Ling Yunxiao led the guard company to arrive, the Indian commander had just been escorted out of the command center.

Seeing the major general of the Republic Army who appeared in front of him, the Indian commander was first shocked, and then like a defeated rooster, he lowered his arrogant head. Perhaps after seeing Ling Yunxiao, the Indian Army Major General thought that it was not the Zuojia Battalion that attacked, but the thugs of the Armored Corps Sixth, obviously, in the eyes of the Indian general, the armored corps of the Republic Army is not a shameful thing.

It was at this time. The 7-2 battalion arrived.

After asking the Knife Fighter Battalion to hand over the prisoners of war to the guard company, Ling Yunxiao asked the two battalions to sweep the remnants of the Indian army in the vicinity at the same time.

It seemed that he had expected to capture a lot of prisoners of war, and Ling Yunxiao brought all the guards in charge of his personal safety over, not like before. Take only one platoon of guards, or even one squad of guards, to the battlefield.

With the arrival of the Daoying, the Daojiu Battalion, the Daokou Reconnaissance Battalion and the Daojiu Logistics Battalion one after another, the battle to sweep away Gischengenj went very smoothly.

It wasn't until the thug scored 4 points that Ling Yunxiao came out with the news of the capture of Gischengenje.

As a matter of fact. Before that, Pei Chengyi appeared as a knife beater. Comportment.

Around the point of the knife, Shang Xueyun contacted Pei Chengyi and complained that Ling Yunxiao had sent the main force of the Airborne Thug Brigade up.

When he was shocked by Pei Chengyi, because Ling Yunxiao was making a joke about Qianchengjing by doing this.

It's just that Pei Chengyi is not surprised. Because Ling Yunxiao is that kind of person.

After receiving that the airborne thug brigade did not participate in the operation to storm Siliguri. Pei Chengyi did not contact Ling Yunxiao immediately, because it was not necessarily useful to contact Ling Yunxiao at this time. Besides. If Ling Yunxiao planned to do something, he would try his best not to answer Pei Chengyi's call. In order to find out the movements of the brigade, Bae had AWACS aircraft patrolling north of Sikkim to monitor the area around Siliguri, especially the western part of Siliguri. Pei Chengyi knew Ling Yunxiao too well, and the Quick Anti-Knife Brigade did not participate in the attack on Siliguri. There will be no attack to the east.

Received the intelligence uploaded by Ling Yunxiao to the battlefield information network. Pei Chengyi's speculation was confirmed.

The Brigade of Fast Knife Fighters is attacking westward, and the purpose is not Siliguri. Rather, it is Gissengenje, west of the strategic corridor.

If Pei Chengyi was not in the tactical command center at that time, Yuan Chenhao would definitely follow the battle plan and order Ling Yunxiao to immediately stop advancing and turn to attack Siliguri from the west. The reason is very simple, if after the airborne thugs Shao Brigade, troops are dispatched to attack the airborne field. In this way, even if the 7th Brigade can capture Gissengenja, the combat operation will be meaningless.

Pei Chengyi did not let Ling Yunxiao stop, but contacted Shang Xueyun and asked the old airborne army to allocate the artillery brigade with hand-wounded artillery to the airborne occupation army before the third airlift, and prepare for the Cong Low Brigade to participate in the attack on Siliguri when necessary. With these forces committed, the assault on Siliguri would not be affected by the westward assault of the Swift Knife Brigade.

Apparently. Pei Chengyi also plans to "try his luck." ”

When formulating the battle plan, Pei Chengyi did not put the attack on Gissengenje alone, mainly because the airlift force was limited and could not meet the offensive operations in both directions at the same time. Here's the problem, even if Siliguri is laid. Because the battlefield is too narrow. Unless they take the initiative to cross the border line between India and Bangladesh and spread the flames of war to Bangladesh, it will be difficult for ground forces to deploy. If it cannot be deployed, it will not be possible to fully wield the combat capability of the ground forces. This is also the fundamental reason why Pei Chengyi only invested 2 brigades in Siliguri. If the Rapid Reverse Cut Brigade can unexpectedly capture Gischengenja, it will be able to expand the width of the battlefield and increase the depth of Siliguri's defenses. When the time comes, even if the Indian army launches a strategic counterattack. It is also possible to devote more troops to Gissengenje. Fight an armored battle with the Indian army, not confined to Siliguri.

Ying Jian is, whether Ling Yunxiao has the ability to capture Gischengenj without the strength of the thug brigade.

In order to ensure that the fast reverse cut brigade can take down Jishengenjie, Pei Chengyi adjusted the combat operations of the air force. Let the Air Force draw 3 tactical aviation groups ready to provide support at the request of the Knife Fighter Brigade.

Since the long-range artillery has not yet reached Sikkim, it is temporarily unable to provide artillery support to the knife fighter brigade.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Pei Chengyi can only do so much.

The rest depends on Ling Yunxiao's "creation".

I have to admit that Pei Chengyi's ability to grasp the battle situation is very strong.

With the news that Ling Yunxiao successfully captured Jishengenjie, Yuan Chenhao admired Pei Chengyi's judgment.

Now that Gischengenj is about to be defeated, the battle that follows will be much simpler.

Send the news to the General Staff and arrange the third airlift. Let the thugs prepare the group after dawn. That is, after almost controlling the Indian army airfield in Gissengenje and sending the other two combat brigades of the Knife Army to the front line, Pei Chengyi left the tactical command center. Catch a few hours of sleep before the third airlift.

At this point in the war, there was not much suspense about the ground battles on the Eastern Front.

As the offensive unfolded, more and more airfields were controlled. The powerful transport capacity of the air force of the Republic Air Force to support aviation will be unleashed, and more and more troops will arrive on the battlefield one after another. All that remains is how to annihilate the Indian army on the battlefield on the Eastern Front at the lowest cost.

Of course, this is not a simple task.
