Early in the morning, Pei Chengyi came to the tactical command center. [No pop-up novel network]

Although he received good news one after another such as the start of the attack on Kolkata, the occupation of the coastal city of Balasol in the northeast of Orissa, and the arrival of the vanguard of the blade army on the north bank of the Brahmin River, Pei Chengyi did not look the slightest excited. Still intently looking at the ever-changing map of the battlefield, it seemed that he was waiting for some news. This made the staff officers feel very strange, and even Yuan Chenhao felt that Pei Chengyi was very abnormal.

"Mr. Pei, intelligence from the Military Intelligence Agency. Indian troops began to assemble towards Allahabad

Pei Chengyi's body shook slightly, and then laughed.

Yuan Chenhao glanced at Pei Chengyi, who suddenly laughed. He asked the communications staff officer, "How many seals are there?"

"The exact number is not clear, but it will not be less than the old division."

"Enough!" Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Let the Military Intelligence Bureau provide accurate information as soon as possible." Sent it to my office after receiving the message. ”

The communications staff officer nodded his cross and turned to leave.

Pei Chengyi glanced at Yuan Chenhao, turned around and walked towards the office.

Yuan Chenhao frowned, caught up with Pei Chengyi's pace, and asked a little eagerly: "Mr. Pei, the Indian army's reinforcement of Allahabad is not necessarily a good thing, why are you?"

"Well, don't worry. Pushing open the door of the office, after Yuan Chenhao entered, Pei Chengyi closed the door and said. "If I'm guessing correctly, you've had a lot of questions for me since noon yesterday, right? For example, why did the fighters not send the old airborne 3 brigade out according to the plan. ”

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I didn't tell you at the time because I wasn't sure

"Not sure what?" Yuan Chenhao immediately asked.

Pei Chengyi smiled, sat down on the sand, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs before saying, "What do you think." Who is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Army?

"It's Lu" Yuan Chenhao hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the answer that he had turned into a mouth.

"Politically, it must be Rurajapani, and militarily it must not be Gujarad and Fernandez Pei Chengyi handed a cigarette to Yuan Chenhao and said, "The Indian army stormed Varanasi, and the Third Army did not break through to the south, but chose to break through in the direction of Ranchi, I was suspicious at that time. It was not Gujarad who commanded the Indian army, but the US Secretary of Defense, who was on the other side of the world. ”

"Dudgway?" Yuan Chenhao immediately showed a look of surprise.

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Is the Indian army capable of defeating the airborne thugs Trade Brigade?" If there is no complete certainty, why throw tens of thousands of troops into two battlefields where there is little hope of victory? It is clear that the purpose of the Indian army is not to pull out the nails in the rear, but to have other plans. ”

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, and did not rush to speak.

"What the hell is it? If Gujarad was commanding the Indian army, I really couldn't figure it out. Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said. Although I don't know this Indian Army Chief of Staff directly, I spent two years in Pakistan. According to the evaluation of the generals of the Pakistani army, this Indian general who commanded the Indian army to defend the southern city of Srinagar was more than brave, but his mind was not enough. It is not enough to believe the evaluation of the generals of the Pakistani army, but the deployment of the Indian army before the start of the war. Basically proved the words of the generals of the Pakistani army. If Gujarad had a bit of a brain, he should not have put on an offensive posture and concentrate the main forces on the forward line, but should have defended in great depth against our offensive in great depth. Imagine how much effort would it take to win the battle if millions of Indian troops were spread across the battlefield? ”

Poison Chenhao nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

"With Gujarad's IQ, can you see my strategic intention in sending the Airborne Fighter Brigade to Varana and the Airborne Nephew Brigade to Ranchi?" Pei Chengyi smiled coldly and said, "It's not that I underestimate the enemy, even if it's Gujarad, it's impossible to see the great significance of these two troops." If Gujarad was really commanding the Indian army to fight, we would not have to adjust the campaign plan several times: "Not only did we annihilate the Indian Army's Eastern Army Group a long time ago, but I am afraid that the battle line had already been pushed several hundred kilometers outward by this time." The battle was fought like this, and it was by no means the credit of Gujarad

"So, what was the purpose of the Indian army's onslaught on Varanasi and Ranchi?"

"Hold back our main force and force me to put in more reserves." Pei Chengyi replied very simply.

Yuan Chenhao let out a sigh, as if Pei Chengyi's words confirmed one of his guesses.

"Now you know why I've been so reluctant to provide reinforcements for the Airborne Thug Trade Brigade, right?" Pei Chengyi smiled and said. "Although at first, I didn't understand it yet. But one thing must be certain, and that is that we cannot let the enemy get what the enemy wants. As the battle between Varanasi and Ranchi intensified, and even the Third Army gave up the opportunity to break south and marched on Ranchi instead, I began to suspect that it was not Gujarad who commanded the Indian army, but Duchway. Before the end of the battle in Ranchi, that is, when the army was about to arrive, the Third Army did not abandon its weight and bypass Ranchi, but turned back to Ja to pick up Shedpur, and I confirmed my previous suspicion that it was Duchway who was commanding the Indian army. There is no doubt that Duchway is well aware of our shortcomings, which is that we have too few reserves. To be precise, there are too few combat troops, and any major force that is heavily damaged will have an impact on the next stage of combat operations. It has to be admitted that Duchway achieved his purpose, at least partially. The sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of scarves has basically deprived the airborne brigade of its combat capability, and it is optimistic that the two airborne brigades will not be able to regain their combat capability until the end of October. If we follow our plan, a general offensive on the Western Front will begin at the end of September. We only have one airborne brigade in our hands, and our strategic assault capability has been greatly reduced. ”

"In this way, Duchway is really very good"

"It's amazing, but it's still a little bit worse. He didn't defeat me on the peninsula back then, and he doesn't want to beat me in India now. Pei Chengyi smiled coldly and said. It is suspected that Du Qiwei was in command of the Indian army in battle. I adjusted the deployment of the campaign and let the Mi army and the gangster army go south in advance. In this way, even if Duchway can make us lose a lot of troops, the Indian army will have to send more troops to the south to block the Mi army and the evil army, so that the Indian army will not be able to obtain enough troops to resist our army on the Western Front. The biggest variable is the participation of the concave army, so that I can make the sword army, which is more good at strategic assault, rest a few days in advance, so that the sword army can recover its combat effectiveness a few days in advance. As long as Ling Yunxiao's fighting spirit is not reduced, when the sword army goes to the battlefield again, the Indian army will not want to hold the northern defense line. Most importantly, we did not waste reserves in Varanasi and Ranchi, and the airborne stuffy brigades still maintained full combat effectiveness. ”

"That's the question I'm asking, that being the case. Why not let the airborne thug Wang Brigade really want to play, it's just not yesterday. If you think about it, Du Qiwei did everything possible to consume our troops, don't you know that he was able to support the Airborne Brigade as a reserve a few days ago. We didn't let the airborne! The Mortar Brigade is on the field, and Dudgway will definitely keep an eye on this force. As our army continues to win victories in all directions, Duchway will not only keep an eye on the Airborne Brigade, but will also speculate on the purpose of my Airborne Brigade. As an airborne force. The Airborne Brigade is a unit that specializes in strategic assaults. What's next? As long as Du Qiwei guessed it, he would be sure that I would let the Airborne Brigade cross the Indian army's northern defense line and capture a strategic point somewhere, laying the foundation for breaking through the northern defense line. At this point, Du Qiwei should at least adjust the defensive deployment of the Indian army to prevent the airborne Peng Brigade from landing smoothly. If he had been a little more daring, he would have set up an ambush circle behind the line of defense to entertain the airborne brigade. The Peninsular War proved that Dudgway was not only very courageous, but also courageous. What's more, Du Qiwei knew the situation of the troops in my hands very well, and knew that I could not provide much support for the airborne stuffy brigade, or even guarantee air support. In this way, it is not difficult to judge that airborne landing is also not possible, and the strategic significance is not obvious. Throughout the area west of Varanasi, within the range of long-range artillery. It is really worthwhile to use the airborne mortar brigade, and there will be no more than three strategic points that meet the basic requirements. The Indian army is about to complete the first phase of war mobilization, and it will certainly not be difficult to hold three strategic points. If I had sent an airborne milk brigade yesterday, the most likely outcome would have been. After the airborne brigade landed, it was immediately besieged by the Indian army and finally annihilated.

Yuan Chenhao let out a long breath and said, "That's why you adjusted your deployment and let the fallen army go to Varanasi, and at the same time deliver war materials to Varanasi?" ”

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Understood? ”

"Basically, I get it."

"Let's talk about it."

Yuan Chenhao was a little hesitant, because he didn't want the class to get an axe.

"You are in charge of the tactical command, if you don't know my intentions, how can you command it?"

Yuan Chenhao lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said: "At the beginning of the deployment, you have two purposes, to be precise, you have made two preparations. The Concave army reached Varanasi and was provided with sufficient combat supplies, and Duchway had to consider the threat of the Hong's army. Think we're going to attack Allahabad with a concave army. Tear open the northern defense line of the Indian army, forcing the Indian army to continue its strategic contraction. The reality is. With the current situation of the Indian army, if Allahabad is lost, it will not only be too late to establish a second northern defense line, but will also disrupt the entire strategic defense layout. Caught in a situation of total passivity. As a result, Duchway had no choice but to let the Indian army defend Allahabad. For this, it is necessary to send more troops to Allahabad. As long as the Indian army is concentrated on Allahabad, it will make the mistake of starting the war, placing the main forces in the forward positions and the rear full of holes. At this point, we should find the right opportunity to send the airborne thug brigade, which can not only tear through the northern defense line of the Indian army in one fell swoop, but also follow our vision. Those who choose the next round of offensive will not give the Indian army any chance. ”

"What's the luck of the hand?" Pei Chengyi lit a second cigarette.

"Assault Allahabad head-on." Yuan Chenhao smiled and said, "Although Du Qiwei thinks that it is the allies who attack Allahabad, it is actually a sword army. Although the Knife Army is now far from the front line, we have taken control of the railway line in the theater of operations, and within two days, the Knife Army will be able to reach Varanasi. By that time, the sword army had already rested for five days and had regained its full combat effectiveness. If necessary, the Hongjun can also be allowed to participate in the offensive and take on the main offensive task, so that the Sword Army has more forces to attack westward and reinforce the Airborne Tatamusu Brigade. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, indicating that this was his intention.

"The key question is, where is the destination of the Airborne Fighter Brigade?"

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly and said, "Is this too close?"

"It's not close, it's not far, and it's the most in line with the current situation." Pei Chengyi paused slightly. said, "With the operational capabilities of our army." After the Jiang army reached Varanasi, it only took twenty-four hours at most to prepare for the attack. It is impossible for Dudgway not to be unaware of this, even if the time it takes for the army to reach Varanasi, his defensive equipment will not take more than thirty-six hours. To strengthen Allahabad's defenses in such a short period of time, the only way to do this was to draw combat troops from the nearest place. Then fill the holes in the rear of the line of defense with perimeter forces. Don't forget that Dudgway is an American general, and even if he knows something about the Indian army, it is impossible to know everything about it. In other words, if it is the US military, there is not much of a problem with such a move. The question is, does the Indian army have such a strong ability to act, and such a good ability to coordinate? Counting the interdicting air strikes of our army, it will be difficult for the Indian army to fill the loopholes in the rear of the battle line in a timely manner, and it will inevitably leave us with opportunities. Between Fatahpur's position and Allahhabad and Kanpur, as long as we threaten Allahabad enough, Fatahpur's Indian army will advance eastward, and then Kanpur's Indian army will fill the void in Fatahpur's defenses. As long as we can hold off the Indian troops from Kanpur during this period, we will be able to gain a firm foothold for the Airborne Combat Brigade, and even if its combat effectiveness is a little worse than that of the Airborne Brigade 3, it will be able to hold out for several days. ”

Yuan Chenhao pondered for a while and said, "In this case, you have to let the sword army run faster."

"Don't transfer the sword army in advance, and after the airborne fighter brigade lands, it's not too late to dispatch. Of course, the fallen army must assemble in Varanasi as soon as possible and take a posture against Allahabad

"I'll arrange it right away."

The last question, Pei Chengyi stopped Yuan Chenhao, who was about to get up, and raised a finger, "What is the ultimate purpose of this round of attacks?" ”

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Pei Chengyi to ask such a question.

"As the commander of the unified army, if he is not even clear about the ultimate purpose of the attack, how can he ensure that the campaign can move in the right direction?

Yuan Chenhao did not hesitate any longer and said: "The main thing is to eliminate the living forces of the Indian army

"You can't say you're wrong, but you're only a little right. half

At this time, Yuan Chenhao was a little puzzled, after the battle began, Yong Chengyi has been emphasizing this purpose.

"To be precise, by destroying the living forces of the Indian army, India will be forced to deploy more defensive forces east of New Delhi, so as to lay the foundation for victory in the next general decisive battle on the Western Front." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "The Indian army began to establish the northern defense line and the southern defense line, the purpose is to hold the northwest region and the southern region, of which the significance of the existence of the northern defense line is to encircle New Delhi and avoid New Delhi being attacked from both sides." It is precisely in this way that we have to complete our task in the decisive battle on the Eastern Front and extend the front several hundred kilometers to the west. Ostensibly, as long as we occupy Fatehpur, the Indian army will have to strengthen the defenses in the Kanpur direction and block the advance of our army. But we must not forget India's war mobilization capability, according to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, by the time we start the decisive battle on the Western Front, India has completed the first phase of war mobilization. The second phase of mobilization for war has also begun, when at least two hundred divisions of the enemy will be added to the battlefield. Plus the main forces of the Indian army on the battlefield on the Western Front. We're under a lot of pressure. It is almost impossible to counteract the strength of the Indian army through war mobilization in a campaign-level assault battle. In other words, we have to pose a threat to New Delhi from the east, so that India has to put more troops east of New Delhi. ”

Yuan Chenhao nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

"You're right, at least you can achieve the same goal. The more fierce the battle between Allahabad and Fatahpur and the greater the number of enemies annihilated, the greater the pressure on New Delhi, and the Indian army will naturally adjust its defensive deployment according to our thinking and hand over the initiative on the battlefield on the Western Front to us. ”

"But the appearance does not represent the essence, even if the goal is achieved, it is luck."

"Don't be in too much of a hurry, you're still young and there are plenty of opportunities to learn."

Yuan Chenhao smiled and said, "Now is the best learning opportunity, I can't miss it."

"Don't be a sycophant, go ask the communications staff. There was no exact information received from the Military Intelligence Agency. Pei Chengyi stood up and said, "If it is certain that the Indian army is massively increasing troops to Allahabad, let the Airborne Tugher Brigade be ready for battle, but don't be too ostentatious." The army must be ready for attack at midnight tomorrow, at the latest in the early morning of the 21st. The transportation of materials must be carried out quickly, and Duchway judged the intentions of our army's actions. First of all, we will pay attention to our material mobilization. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he won't be deceived. ”

"What if the Indian army does not massively increase its troops?

"What should I do?" Pei Chengyi smiled. "Burn the fire a little more and let the air force bomb Allahabad. The scale can't be too small, and it has to be blown up. Anyway, after this round of attacks is over. It's time for the Air Force to rest

"Do you want to send out the army flight?

"Stay, the Army Aviation will have to support the Airborne Brigade.

Yuan Chenhao nodded and didn't ask any more.

After Yuan Chenhao went out, Pei Chengyi lay down on the sand. In the past two days, he has not closed his eyes, and he is so tired that he can't open his eyes.
