When I will be a Bessari woman. The French president promised to wield influence. The two sides agreed to a ceasefire as soon as possible, but at the press conference that followed, the French government spokesman emphasized the humanitarian disaster in northeastern India and was very disappointed that the United States was still exporting weapons to India.

This "two-faced, three-sworded" attitude reflects the embarrassing situation of the French government.

As the "locomotive" of the European Union, although France is very disgusted by the United States' behavior of obstructing the political integration of the European Union, France is forced by the traditional influence of the United States in Europe, especially in the field of security, France does not dare to offend the United States too much, at least it does not dare to run counter to the United States on basic issues with common values. As a result, the French president had to act like a peacekeeper in the face of Sullivan. Because China also has influence on the EU's political integration, the French president had to give Sullivan a blank slate. More importantly, influenced by public opinion, the French people are not concerned about when the war will end, but if the humanitarian catastrophe is stopped. There was no reporter present to meet with Sullivan, and there was no need to disclose the content of the conversation to the outside world. Facing the cameras and microphones in the hands of reporters, government spokesmen naturally want to say something that will satisfy and convince voters. Although most of the words of the government spokesmen are blank and have little practical significance, the government's attitude is in line with the appetite of the voters, and it has won the recognition and support of the voters. From a diplomatic point of view, the French government's public attitude is actually hinting at China. As long as China emphasizes that military action is aimed at resolving humanitarian disasters and shows it in action, France will not blame China for the war.

Pei Chengyi can't understand France's diplomatic hints, and there is no need to understand them.

At that time, he was busy adjusting military deployments on the battlefield.

Before dawn, Lu Chengwen took a few of his men to the front-line headquarters. Although according to Pei Chengyi's meaning, Lu Chengwen just went to the Eastern Front Headquarters, and there was no need to rush all the way over, but Lu Chengwen still came, because he felt that the facilities of the front-line headquarters were more complete, and in front of Pei Chengyi, it would be more convenient to mobilize military resources. Pei Chengyi is helpless about this, who called Lu Chengwen an old subordinate of Xiang Linghui?

As for the rescue of those freelance journalists, Pei Chengyi didn't worry about it, it was Lu Chengwen's task.

After breakfast, Pei Chengyi did not go back to sleep, but uncharacteristically returned to the tactical command center, guarding several intelligence staff officers. It wasn't until the news of the start of large-scale mobilization of the Indian army that Pei Chengyi let go of the intelligence staff officer and called Yuan Chenhao to the office.

"The scale of the transfer is quite large, and it seems that Duchway is completely under your control."

"That's not for sure, but I think Duchway guessed my intentions, at least half of them."

"Unlikely, if this is the case, how could he let Fatehpur's Indian army move west?

"Do you think Dudgway has any other choice?"

Yuan Chenhao sat down and casually picked up the cigarette on the coffee table.

"Dudgway is smart and understands war very well. Although the main battle of the decisive battle on the Eastern Front has ended, if our army refuses to give up, he must know that we will launch a new offensive and expand the results of the battle. As long as Duchway calms down a little and is not confused by superficial phenomena, he will be able to find out the strategic points that our army is about to attack. ”

"You mean, Duchway knows we're going to attack Fatahpur?"

Pei Chengyi nodded, brought over the two cups of tea that had been brewed, and said, "He must have guessed it, but he didn't guess it completely right, so he would make such a wrong decision." ”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Chenhao took the teacup handed over.

"Because he thinks I'm going to attack Fatahpur with a sword army, not with the airborne thugs Wang Brigade."

"Unlikely, Du Qiwei is very aware of the surprise attack capability of our army's airborne troops, and has been paying attention to the dispatch of the airborne troops, how can he ignore the existence of the airborne fighter brigade? .

"That's what I couldn't figure out the most." Pei Chengyi smiled, lit a cigarette, and said, "In the Peninsula War, Du Qiwei was defeated by the Airborne Defense Brigade, and he should not forget the strength of our airborne troops until he died. Judging from the movement of the Indian army, Du Qiwei first considered the sword army, not the airborne thug brigade.

"If I were him, I would definitely stick to Fatahpur

"Really? Then you play Duchway now, and you choose to stick to Fatahpur, don't you?

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"According to your deployment, I let the sword army attack Fatehpur, what will you do?"

"Continue to defend to the death, although the assault ability of the sword army is very strong, it is impossible to take Fatehpur in one fell swoop."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "I didn't think about taking down Fatehpur immediately. After the sword army encircles Fatehpur, and then invest troops in Allahabad and even the Air Assault Brigade to assist the Hong army in the attack, how long do you think Allahabad's Indian army can hold out?

Yuan Chenhao pondered for a moment and said, "Three days at most, maybe only two days." ”

"Allahabad is lost, can Fatahpur hold it?"

"It's true that you can't hold it, but you don't have the forces in your hands that can help the sword army capture Fatehpur."

"That's true, but why should I rush to capture Fatehpur?" Pei Chengyi asked rhetorically and said, "My purpose is to besiege Fatehpur and let you continue to increase troops here." In a week, maybe five days, I will be able to transfer the leading troops, the three air assault brigades will also be rested, and the sword army and the concave army will also operate in the northeast region... Wood. When the time comes, I will not only be able to defeat Fatehpur. Cutting the old small drop front pushed to Kanpur. ”

Yuan Chenhao was slightly stunned, unable to refute it.

"With the strength of the Indian army, it is simply impossible to counterattack Allahabad in a week, and it is impossible to even pose much of a threat to the sword army. More importantly, even if our army does not attack Kanpur, as long as Fatehpur is taken, the Indian army will have to retreat to Kanpur, and by that time, how far will our army's vanguard be from New Delhi, almost 400 kilometers. Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and said, "At this distance, not to mention the Airborne Forces and the Sword Army, even a strategic reaction force like the Lead-in Army can rush over in one go." More importantly, at this point, is it necessary for us to send the main forces to the battlefield on the Western Front and organize a large-scale strategic offensive there?

"It's really not necessary

"Not only is it not necessary, but it cannot be done. The reason is simple, advancing westward from the Ganges River basin will not only make it easier to capture New Delhi, but also complete the strategic cut, creating convenient conditions for the next attack on southern India. With so many benefits, why should I go the extra mile? ”

Yuan Chenhao nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Cheng's spoon meant.

"You say, does Dudgway have a choice?" Pei Chengyi extinguished the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and said, "Du Qiwei has no choice at all, he must block the sword army east of Fatehpur and block the advance of the sword army. Only in this way can the Indian army establish a new strategic defensive line in Fatahpur after the fall of Allahabad to keep our army out of the gates of New Delhi and provide a more secure defensive barrier for New Delhi. ”

"The problem is that by doing so, you are leaving Fatehpur to the Airborne Thug Brigade

"That's true, maybe Dudgway has other arrangements."

"What arrangement?" Yuan Chenhao shook his head with a smile and said, "Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, except for the defenders of Kanpur, there is no Indian army that can reinforce Fatehpur. Obviously, Duchway will not draw troops from Kanpur, otherwise if Kanpur is lost, even if Fatahpur is held, New Delhi will be finished

"It's not that Du Qiwei doesn't have troops, but if he uses it, there will be endless troubles."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of Pei Chengyi's words.

"Don't forget. Those divisions in Bhopal. ”

"Troops on the southern line?.

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Although those divisions have not moved for the time being, it does not indicate that Du Qiwei has no idea of using them. If I'm guessing correctly, Duchway has not moved those divisions so far, either ignoring the Airborne Tugher Brigade or still hesitating. From the overall height of the war, the importance of the southern line of defense is above that of the north. If the Indian prime minister realizes that New Delhi will fall sooner or later, he will put the southern defense line in place. The same is true of the situation, otherwise the Indian army would not have placed those divisions in Bhopal, not in Kanpur. The transfer of troops from Bhopal will inevitably make the southern defense line more vulnerable and leave us with an opportunity. The medicine army and the gangster army have already gone south, and they have gained a lot. It is impossible for Duchway not to know that we are not only going to take New Delhi, but also to prevent India from re-establishing power in the south. As a result, Duchway has to worry that when I see an opportunity, I will go south first, rather than attacking New Delhi first. ”

So he's hesitating

"It's very likely, but we have to watch out for three other possibilities."

"What?"

Pei Chengyi thought for a while and said: "We must consider the problem from the worst perspective, that is to say, Du Qiwei has been staring at the airborne drowning brigade, and even guessed that we would use the airborne Peng brigade to attack Fatehpur, and the sword army is just going to divert the Indian army's assist troops." ”

Yuan Chenhao immediately frowned.

"If that's the case, Duchway will make us think that the time is ripe to send out the airborne thug brigade to capture Fatehpur, and then drag it down with the army in Bhopal? The 7th Army made Ling Yunxiao have to face several armored divisions. As long as the hands and feet of the sword army are tied, and the Hong army cannot get out of Allahabad, and the army is too far away from the battlefield, Du Qiwei can calmly use the millions of Indian troops obtained from the first phase of war mobilization to kill the airborne brigade. There is no doubt that we will definitely not abandon the airborne mortar brigade and will definitely fight desperately with the Indian army. If we really want to fight, because most of our main field armies are resting, the forces that can be invested are very limited, and we can only rely heavily on supporting firepower. What's worse is that the Air Force and Army Aviation are also in urgent need of rest, and most of the fighters need to be fully maintained. In other words, what we are fighting for is not our lives, but all the capital in our hands. Even if we win the war and occupy Fatehpur, we will not be able to continue our westward advance. Because the combat effectiveness of the air force and army aviation has been severely reduced, we have had to extend the preparation time between the two campaigns to allow India time to complete the second and even third phase of war mobilization. When we attack again, we will have to deal with millions of Indian troops. There is no doubt that the next battle will be more difficult to fight. Affected by this, when we go south to the Indian peninsula, we will probably face tens of millions of Indian troops.

Even if we can win, at what cost, and how long will the war last? Small.

"In that case, we should abandon the idea of attacking Fatahpur."

"Really?" Pei Chengyi sneered, "We must not give up, not to mention the impact of our army's abandonment of the offensive on the morale of the warring parties, even from a long-term perspective, we must defeat Fatahpur, and we must defeat Fatahpur at the lowest cost and the fastest degree, and we must not give the Indian army a chance to breathe." ”

"But,"

"Even probabilistic terms, we... One... Divide! The second certainty of winning is, Pei Chengyi said with a long mouth. "On the other hand, I don't think it's likely that Duchway is thinking so long-term, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated in the battle ahead, at least not in the direction of Ranchi, where the Third Army would have fallen victim. Of course, we also have to know that Duchway is not the commander-in-chief of the Indian army, and at most assists the Indian army in the form of advisers. As an American, Duchway only needs to consider military issues and the interests of the United States, and will not put India's interests first. Although the current situation, any smart general knows that New Delhi cannot hold on, let alone a politician like Rurajapani, but as a politician, Rurajapani will definitely not give up the capital easily, and even until the last moment, he will defend the capital. In this way, it will not be possible for the Indian army to act exactly as Duchway suggests, but as Rurajapani wants. ”

In other words, the Indian army will hold the northern defense line to the death

"Yes, not only will they defend it, but they will prepare for the worst, which is to hold the southern defense line.

"If the Indian army in Bhopal does not enter the war, even if Duchway guesses our campaign intentions, it will be impossible to hold Fatehpur."

"And lose all the troops that come in its path."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly.

"If you want to fight, why can't you fight harder?" Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Ling Yunxiao has always thought that the Sword Army is the most powerful legion, and the time has come to test him. After he has eliminated the Indian army from Fatehpur, let's discuss whether the Sword Army is the most powerful legion

"That's it. The logistical pressure will increase several times

"After the battle is decided, after sending the airborne stuffy brigade out, the support aviation now has no other tasks." Pei Chengyi paused slightly and said, "You redeploy the logistics support work and try to calculate it as accurately as possible."

"When will the Airborne Fighter Brigade come out?.

"The sooner the better, and we have to attack before Dudgway comes to his senses."

Yuan Chenhao nodded, got up and left the office.

After accounting for a few minutes, Yuan Chenhao officially issued a combat mission to the airborne thug Wang Brigade, who had watched the excitement for many days.

Although the airborne old 3rd Brigade did not enter the combat state in advance according to the predetermined procedure, as a unit that had been waiting for many days, the Airborne Thorjiu Brigade had long been ready for battle. After receiving the combat mission, the officers and men of the brigade were ready to go out within minutes, and then began to board the plane.

In fact, Pei Chengyi's worries were completely unnecessary.

Du Qiwei did ignore the airborne thug brigade, or in a hurry, forgot the old airborne 3rd brigade.

When Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao discussed the final battle plan, Du Qiwei suddenly reacted and ordered the National Defense Intelligence Bureau to focus on monitoring the airborne Peng Brigade that remained in southern Tibet.

It is a pity that a reconnaissance satellite is not a reconnaissance aircraft, and it is impossible to say that it will be adjusted, and there must be a time. Although the United States has adjusted the flight orbits of reconnaissance satellites after the outbreak of the war. But when making small adjustments, the reconnaissance satellite needs to orbit for at least one week before it can monitor the new area. And low-orbit reconnaissance satellites have an orbital period of several hours.

A few hours later, when Duchway received photos of the return of the reconnaissance satellite, he was immediately taken aback.

The base where the airborne thug brigade is stationed is empty, and the airborne brigade with many people is gone!

It certainly didn't disappear into thin air, and if you left the ground, you couldn't have evacuated it in a few hours. There is only one possibility, and that is that the airborne stuffy brigade has been dispatched and is rushing to somewhere in India.

Where could it be?

Seeing the deployment of troops on the map, Du Qiwei suddenly understood.

There is only one target worthy of the use of the Airborne Fighter Brigade to attack, and that is Fatehpur.

Fooled, completely fooled!

Du Qiwei couldn't calm down at all, because he was now being led by Pei Chengyi's nose and had been mobilizing the Indian army according to Pei Chengyi's vision.

It was not the sword army that attacked Fatehpur, but the airborne combat brigade, and the sword army was dispatched just to lure the enemy!

Perfect, and cunning tactics.

Upon receiving a call from Stark, Duchway immediately guessed that the Airborne Tughumous Brigade had landed in Fatehpur.

The wood was already in the boat, and Dudgway forced himself to calm down.

When he saw the deployment of troops in the theater again, he immediately realized that not only had he been led by Pei Chengyi's nose, but there was no room for struggle.

Even if he didn't mobilize Fatehpur's defenders, Pei Chengyi could fake it and let the sword army attack Fatehpur.

It can be said that this whole set of offensive arrangements does not rely on trickery, but on strength.

Does the Indian army still have a chance to make a comeback?

Yes, but it's very slim.

First you have to block the sword army, and then you have to take out the airborne thug brigade. Only when these two tasks are completed at the same time will it be possible for the Indian army to block the advance of the squadron in Fatehpur.

There is no doubt that any one of these tasks is very difficult.

With only the little troops invested at this time, at most the airborne Peng Brigade will be killed.

How to contain the sword army?

Duchway's gaze immediately turned to Bhopal on the map, where only the Indian army had the ability to hold back the sword army.

It's just that Du Qiwei is much more cautious this time, because he knows that Pei Chengyi will not ignore the Indian army in Bhopal, and he will not be without precautions.

What will be the consequences if the Indian army in Bhopal is mobilized?
