Month. Day and night, two units occupied the operation according to Pei Chengyi's deployment

In order to contain the Indian army, the army left the strength of the thug brigade in Potinda, and the main force turned south, into the Indian desert. After a long night of rapid marching in the field, the main force reached Rajgarh in the early morning of the old day of the month, and was ready to attack.

Located just west of New Delhi and about 4,000 kilometers away from New Delhi in a straight line, Rajgarh is a small town with a population of less than four people. Inversely proportional to the size of its population, Rajgarh is the transport hub of the eastern part of India's great desert, with direct rail links to New Delhi and a major railway line running from south to north across western India. Because the west is the Indian desert with the harshest natural conditions on the South Asian subcontinent, located between India and Pakistan, affected by the Indian Ocean and the Himalayas, it is perennially arid, the average annual rainfall is less than the old millimeter, the average temperature during the day in summer is over the degree Celsius, and the maximum temperature is over the degree of the sword, so there are not many Indian troops stationed in Rajgarh, only 2 second-rate infantry regiments. The total number of troops is not prosperous

Although the Gulf War at the beginning of the century has proved that the desert is not only a forbidden area for the army, but also a smooth road for armored troops, as long as the harsh natural environment is overcome, the desert is the most ideal armored battlefield, but the Indian army does not think that the squadron can cross the Indian desert.

In the four Indo-Pakistani wars, the Indian and Pakistani armies fought twice in the Indian desert, and both times in armored battles, both of which resulted in heavy losses on both sides.

In the aftermath of the Third Indo-Pakistani War, both India and Pakistan placed special emphasis on the adaptability of their equipment in hot deserts. For example, all the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles exported by the Republic to Pakistan are air-cooled engines, and more powerful air conditioners are installed, adding extra refrigeration systems to electronic equipment; India's main battle tanks also have more powerful air conditioners and electronics that can work in high temperatures. During the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Pakistan Army did not attack in the direction of the Great Indian Desert. It has a lot to do with the harsh local environment. Even in this war, the Kidistan Army did not invest too many troops in the direction of the Great Indian Desert, mainly because it was worried about the harsh natural environment affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops.

What's more, there is a lot of intelligence that proves that the republic does not have armored forces specifically for the desert environment.

According to the information provided by the U.S. ** affairs adviser. After the conflict in southern Tibet, the Chinese army was fully lightweight, mainly targeting the harsh environment of South Asia, especially the Ganges Plain, such as crisscrossed rivers, poor road conditions, and soft roadbed, and did not specifically target desert areas. India's intelligence services have received similar information that the main equipment of the Chinese army is not specifically modified for desert areas, as is the case with the Indo-Pakistani army. For example, it is exported to Pakistan. All the main battle tanks in the series have been replaced with air conditioning, electronic equipment, and explosion suppression and fire extinguishing equipment in accordance with the requirements of the Pakistan Army. The main battle tanks of the Chinese Army did not make similar modifications.

The question is, is it necessary to retrofit specifically for desert areas?

Before the Army's main battle equipment entered the electric era. Maybe it's necessary. For example, when the US Xinshan main battle tank was fighting in Iraq, it was exposed to problems such as high fuel consumption, insufficient air conditioning power, and inability to refrigerate electronic equipment, which greatly affected its combat effectiveness. After entering the electric era. The Army's ability to adapt to the environment has been greatly enhanced. The guide motor does not need lubricating oil, and the ambient temperature can work normally between minus Fung degrees Celsius and Qiao degrees Celsius; Because the air conditioner is powered by batteries, there is no problem of poor cooling due to insufficient power; The performance of electronic equipment has been greatly improved, and the adaptability has also been enhanced a lot; Arguably. There is absolutely no need for the army's main battle equipment to be developed separately for a special environment. In other words, the lightening of the army itself has greatly improved the army's adaptability in various combat environments.

Judging the combat effectiveness of the Republican Army according to past experience, it is strange that the Indian Army does not suffer losses.

Of course, before the main force of the army reached Rajaghar, the Indian army did not notice this assault force.

On the night of the day, the attention of the Indian army turned to the first thug who reached the western part of Nepal

Brigade.

In the previous battles, the air assault brigade mainly cooperated with the ground armored troops, but the arrival of the first blade air assault brigade still made the Indian army feel like a man, because the appearance of this brigade will make the ground assault force like a tiger.

The first thing the Indian army had to do was to determine the direction of the Air Assault Blade Brigade.

West, or east?

This time, not to mention that the Indian army could not make an accurate judgment, the US affairs adviser also believed that the brigade would participate in the battle in the east.

The sword army has been assembled in Zhanxi, although the combat strength of the Digong armored assault brigade is very limited, but in the eyes of the Indian army and the US affairs adviser, Pei Chengyi must definitely leave a defensive force in Zhanxi. Make sure that the main army going south is not threatened from behind. In other words, the 3rd Knife Armored Assault Brigade will remain in Jhansi, while the 1st Knife Fighters and the 7th Knife Armored Assault Brigade, which were previously stationed there, will advance towards New Delhi in coordination with the Air Assault Brigade.

Two armored air assault brigades plus an air assault brigade should definitely not be underestimated.

With the assault capability of the Sword Army, without the cooperation of the Air Assault Brigade, it can turn around a few times in the south of New Delhi under the encirclement and interception of several 10,000 Indian troops, and after receiving the support of the Air Assault Brigade, it has enough ability to enter New Delhi, at least outside the city of New Delhi. "A consultant who has been pleasing to the United States does not think that the force of attacking the new Bundesliga is a knife.

The garrison in New Delhi has passed the thug union, and counting the support personnel, it is only about 20,000. It is not a problem to use 20,000 troops to entangle several tens of thousands of troops, or even a million troops, but to annihilate a million Indian troops in the city is simply a fantasy.

According to the judgment of the US affairs advisers, the main task of the Sword Army and the Air Brigade is to reach New Delhi, attract all the main forces of the Indian army to the south, and create opportunities for the three field armies in the north. In other words, the Indian army should focus on the north and use the main forces to withstand the 3 field armies. Even if the Knife Army invades New Delhi, it can annihilate the Knife Army with the defenders of New Delhi and the mobilized troops.

Question county, will India adopt such a proposal?

Neither Gujarad nor Rurajapani will be able to pose a threat to New Delhi again.

In the last assault operation, the Knife Army not only came and went freely among the millions of Indian troops, but also found the right to kill two armored divisions, which had a serious impact on the Indian army, especially the Indian officers and soldiers guarding New Delhi. The main forces are not a big problem, after all, the regular army is more disciplined, and the fighting spirit and morale are much higher. Those reserve troops that have just been mobilized are a serious problem, and if they don't do it well, I am afraid that many of the soldiers who have just been conscripted will surrender to the squadron as soon as possible. New Delhi's reserve forces totaled more than one million, and even if only a third of the troops surrendered, the consequences would be unimaginable. From the point of view of boosting morale and morale, it is necessary to kill the sword army in the suburbs of New Delhi no matter what, and the sword army must not be allowed to enter New Delhi. The only way to achieve this goal is to get out of the main force and fight a regular battle with the sword army. It was precisely because of this that Gujarad did not heed the advice of the American affairs adviser and still let the mobile reserve go south to prepare for the battle with the sword army.

Rurajapani did not oppose Gujaram's deployment, but instead believed that Gujarad had done the right thing.

For Rurajapani, the first thing he has to think about is moving the capital. Last assault operation. It took only 3 days for the sword army to reach the outside of New Delhi. This time, the strength of 2 brigades, plus the air assault blade brigade, even if the Indian army strengthened the southern defense line. I'm afraid that it will only take 3 days for the sword army to kill the city of New Delhi again

There is no doubt that the relocation of the capital could not be completed in 3 days. If you want to stop the sword army, you can only use mobile reserves, and you must kill the sword army as far away from the city of New Delhi as possible, and you must not let the sword army approach New Delhi.

With so much focus on the south side, Gujarad didn't notice the change in the west at all.

In the early hours of the day, the Brigade of the Air Assault Thugs left their station on the other side of Mahendra Nag.

Because the United States has used several reconnaissance satellites to monitor air strikes! The location of the Oral Brigade, so soon after the Air Raid Brigade departed, the relevant news was sent to Gujarad.

Pei Chengyi finally took action.

Without hesitation, Gujarad immediately ordered the defenders south of New Delhi to move into defensive positions. The mobile reserve plus marched south.

The problem is that until this time, Gujarad had not received the news that the Sword Army had left Chamsi.

In Gujarad's opinion, no news was received. It does not mean that the sword army did not leave Zhanxi. Because Jhansi is located in the hinterland of India, 1,000 kilometers from the coastline, US military reconnaissance planes that took off from Diego Garcia and hovered over the Arabian Sea could not monitor the situation in Chhansi and could only use reconnaissance satellites. And the activity of reconnaissance satellites is cyclical. It is impossible to continuously monitor a certain area on the ground, so there is always a delay in US intelligence, and it is impossible to accurately grasp the activities of the squadron. Other words. Military intelligence provided by the United States cannot be relied upon exclusively.

Gujarad firmly believed in his judgment that the sword army had already left the western part of the country and would soon reach Gwalior.

To this end, Gujarad also made a speculation, that is, the air raiders arrived on the battlefield from time to time and captured a military point behind the Indian army's defensive line, such as Morena between Gwalior and Agra, cutting off the connection between Gwalior and Agra, and creating an opportunity for the knife army to capture Gwalior. As long as the 2nd Air Assault Brigade gains a foothold, the 77th Army will attack Gwalior with all its might.

According to Gujarade's calculations, the battle will be fought between the Mouth Point Split and the Old Point Three.

It won't take that long for Gujarad to know that he's made the worst mistake.

After 7 o'clock, Rajgarh was suddenly attacked by the main force of the squadron, and the news of the annihilation of the defenders was delivered to Fontirad.

Shocked, Gujarad shrugged at once.

Which army attacked Rajgarh?

Although Gujarad thought of the Sky Raider Sheng Brigade first, he quickly ruled out the possibility. Rajgarh is about a kilometer away from Mahendra Nag, basically in the extreme strike distance of the air assault force, even if it is an air rush, it is impossible to defeat Rajgarh at 7 o'clock!

It's not the Air Assault Fighter Mouth Brigade, which unit is that?

Before Gujarad could guess it, the news came that only the thugs had been attacking since last night, and that the main force of the army had left Potinda.

Only then did Gujarad come to his senses. It was the Blink Army that captured Rajgarh.

But what next?

Rajaegh is too close to New Delhi. Even if the Wang army could not enter, as long as it gained a firm foothold in Rajagarh and eliminated the logistics supply line, the Rang Dun Chuan troops could throw artillery shells at tens of thousands of tons per day at New Delhi. After a few days and nights, the will of the defenders of New Delhi will completely collapse.

Pei Chengyi definitely intends to shell New Delhi. Otherwise, there would be no rush to take Rajgarh.

If you want to shell New Delhi, you have to open up logistical supply lines. The most convenient way to do this is to capture Potinda and use the railway line from Potinda to Rajgarh to transport ammunition. The main force of the army has turned to Rajgarh, and it is certain that a defensive position will be built in Rajgarh, and it will not be possible to continue the attack on Petinda. The other two field armies on the Western Front were far away from Potinda and did not have time to rush to fight in coordination with the corps. There was only one force that could attack Potinda, the one that came out before dawn.

Gujarade's reaction was very fast, and at 7 o'clock Feng Feng issued an order to the defenders of Potinda to hold Potinda at all costs. And mention the surprise attack of the assault forces in the air defense.

According to Gujarad's judgment, the Air Assault Blade Brigade will definitely attack Potinda.

After the order was given, Gujarad still had lingering palpitations.

If Potinda is lost, the consequences will be very serious, and Potinda must be held at all costs.

After thinking twice, Gujarad issued an order for reinforcements to the Bertiara garrison northeast of Potinda, and immediately mobilized half of the defensive forces to aid Potinda.

Gujarad didn't realize it. Once again, he made a very serious mistake.

Patiala is a thousand kilometers away from the Potin Da hitan field is the Bakla Dam, and to the north of the Bakla Dam is the Bertankot, which shows that Bertiala is a strategic location in the northwest region of India, and is the rear of several forward positions, and has a pivotal position. As such, Bertiala was also the location of Indian army reserves in various places.

When Gujarad dispatched troops, several early warning planes and large unmanned reconnaissance planes were closely monitoring the Indian army's every move.

When Bertiala's Indian army began to assemble and prepare to rush to the aid of Potinda according to Gujarad's orders, the relevant information had been sent to Pei Chengyi.

At 8 o'clock, the main division of the 3 Indian troops was pulled out of Betia.

After confirming the direction of reinforcement of the Indian army, Pei Chengsang immediately attacked the air assault fighter brigade that was on standby in the air and the target was Bertiala.

Subsequently, Pei Chengyi issued an order to send an armored assault brigade to attack Bertiala to the leading army, which was fighting fiercely in the direction of Ludhiana. He also ordered the army to launch a general offensive in the direction of Bertankot, and even if it could not defeat Bertankot, it was necessary to force the Indian army stationed at Bakla Dam to go north to reinforce it, and if it could force the Indian army of Changqiang Gar to go north, the army would have made a great contribution.

This series of deployments had only one purpose: to quickly capture Bertiala.

For Pei Chengyi's round of deployment, especially the skillfully applied tactics, Yuan Chenhao admired it so much.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi made full use of the humming conditions. First, the sword army was used to contain the Indian mobile reserves, and several main divisions were all led to the south of New Delhi, and then a big fight in Rajgarh forced the Indian army to desperately hold Potinda. With the mobile reserve already moving south, the Indian army transferred Bertiala's troops to strengthen Potinda's defenses. It was only at this time that Pei Chengyi gave up his hands and concentrated his forces to attack Bertiara. Not to mention the commander of the Indian army, even if Du Qiwei and Pei Chengyi face off, it is unlikely that this round of attack will be resolved. The reason is simple, every defensive adjustment of the Indian army was carried out under forced circumstances. Even if the Indian army does not make defensive adjustments, Pei Chengyi can still fake the drama and turn the feint attack into the main attack. In other words, if the Indian army's mobile reserve did not go south, Pei Chengyi would have asked Ling Yunxiao to take 2 combat brigades north to attack Gwalior; If the Indian army did not send Bertiala's army to reinforce Potinda, Pei Chengyi would have captured Potinda with an air raider. No matter which step you take, go out. The Indian army will suffer a crushing defeat.

Of course, the assault on Bertiala was not an easy one.

As the "cantonment station" of the Indian army, Bertiala stationed an armored assault brigade including a main division, which is very difficult to attack and throw an Indian army division.

When the air force and army aviation began a full-scale bombing of Tiara.

When the VTOL transport aircraft landed on the outskirts of Bertiala, two artillery brigades of the leading army and the Wang army began to focus on shelling Bertiala.

The heavy fire strikes could only suppress the Indian troops in defensive positions, and could not destroy all the Indian troops.

Although some staff officers were skeptical of the commander-in-chief's style of play and believed that the other two air assault brigades should be sent, Yuan Chenhao did not think that Pei Chengyi's style of play was problematic, because Pei Chengyi's purpose was not to defeat Bertiala at all. Instead, he used the attack on Bertiala to create an opportunity for a breakthrough between the leading army and the Cong army.

Bertiala is too important, so important that the Indian army will fight back at all costs.

As long as the Indian army has such an idea, the leading army and the wounded army can quickly make a breakthrough, because in the case of holding Bertiara, the Indian army must shrink the defensive line and withdraw the peripheral troops, so as to avoid the main force deployed in the outer defense line from being surrounded and annihilated because it did not retreat in time.

The Indian army had no choice and had to retreat.

There is no doubt that this is the result that Pei Chengyi wants!
