The participation of the two armies in the war is not a military issue. It's not a political issue either. It's Zhen 26 and 6

The sudden invasion of Nepal by Indian troops took the Nepalese government, which was preparing for the dispatch of troops, by surprise. In addition to ordering the defenders of Mahendra Nag to hold their ground, the first thing the Government of Nepal did was to contact the Government of the Republic and ask it to honour its security commitments.

Because Zhang's army was not within the scope of the theater of operations, it was directly transferred by the General Staff.

By the time Pei returned home, the vanguard of the summoning army had already marched to Mahendra Nag to assist the Nepalese army stationed there in dealing with the invading Indian army.

There is nothing difficult about the battle, not even a large-scale battle.

After the arrival of only one armored battalion of thugs, the vanguard of the summoning army, the Indian army, which had crossed the border line, immediately switched from offensive to defensive, and set up a defensive position on the outskirts of Mahendra Nag, assuming the posture of fighting a protracted battle with the summoning army. Even if the Indian army did not make such a move, in the case of only one infantry division, the purpose of the Indian army was to contain the Nu army, not to capture the Mahendra Nag, which had a population of 10,000 and was stationed in the Nepalese infantry division.

Fearing more Indian invasions, the Nepalese government has repeatedly stressed the importance of the Nu army.

According to the Nepalese government, Nepal will have to keep its planned troops to India in order to ensure homeland security if the republic fails to deliver on its security commitments. While this threatening diplomatic rhetoric angered the Republic's diplomats, the fact is that if Nepal does not send the promised Jandwan ground forces to the occupied areas as planned, the Republican Army will have to commit more ground forces to the Chamwan Ground. In other words, exchanging the army for the old Nepal army is a very cost-effective thing for the republic.

If Zhang Jun can't be mobilized, is there any other force that can replace the Wu Army?

Wang Yuanqing first thought of the concave army, but according to Xiang Linghui's statement. It would take a week for the army to reach the front line at the earliest, and the assault on Bhopal could only be delayed for up to three days. The concave army could not move, so Wang Yuanqing could only turn his attention to the Hongjun, which made him even more disappointed, because the Hongjun was already very tired and could not even storm Allahbad, and had to rest as soon as possible. The wounded army is far away in Kashmir, and even if it still has a good ability to attack fortifications, it will take half a month to complete the strategic transfer.

The 4 heavily armored armies are not unable to move, and among the strategic reaction armies, the most powerful sword army is still fighting, and it will definitely have to rest after sweeping the battlefield, and several other armies either have tasks on their own. Either they are not in good shape, they cannot be dispatched immediately, and it is even more difficult to undertake the task of attacking Bhopal.

There is no doubt that apart from Zhang Jun, no other army can make a decisive decision in Bhopal.

If you have to use the Nu army, you have to exchange the Umno army from Nepal with other armies. Obviously, you can't use an ordinary army, it must be a field army, and a well-known field army. To put it bluntly, Nepal just wants psychological comfort. In the current situation, why did India invade Nepal on a large scale when it could not protect itself?

Which army will be able to put Nepal to a good night's sleep?

To be honest, if this problem was well solved, it would not have been sent to Wang Yuanqing.

After thinking about it for a whole night, it was not until the next morning that Wang Yuanqing contacted Xiang Linghui and asked Pei Chengyi to return to the front-line command immediately and arrange a combat operation to summon troops to attack Bhopal.

When Lai Chengyi set off, Wang Yuanqing personally summoned Nepal's ambassador to the Republic.

In the afternoon of the same day, a "special" unit marched into Nepal to officially take over the garrison of the summoned troops.

This force is special because it is not an integrated force, but a mixed force. The unit is indeed famous, and its reputation is above that of the poor army, such as the first thug of the old army is the airborne brigade, and the first air assault brigade of the old army.

The name of the occupation army is not under the call of the army, as early as the Korean War in the Lishitian era in the Shangganling War, the commander of the army at that time later became the Minister of Defense of the Republic; As long as Nepalese people who care about the war in India know that the air assault force that fired bows left and right not far to the south, participated in several big battles and vicious battles, and beat the Indian army.

Of course, according to the general understanding, 3 brigades are equal to an army of thugs.

More importantly, in the eyes of the vast majority of Nepalese, the airborne thugs are of course a scheming deal.

I have to say that Wang Yuanqing said that when the Xiaonai Brigade withdrew from the battlefield, the casualty rate was too high, although it was able to quickly obtain additional troops, and the replenishment was all retired airborne troops who had only left the army a few years ago, but both brigades needed to rest, and it was even more necessary to familiarize the supplementary soldiers with the new weapons and equipment and combat environment, and they could only recover their combat effectiveness at the end of the month at the earliest, and if they wanted to achieve the best state, they would probably have to wait until the beginning of the month. Six... The strength of the brigade is slightly better, but the fatigue of officers and men: the airborne brigade will be able to recover its combat effectiveness only in the middle of the month at the earliest.

In other words, Wang Yuanqing replaced the thugs with three brigades with no combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, the Nepalese government readily agreed to the request for a change of guard.

Although some people think that the Nepalese government is very foolish, from another point of view, the Nepalese government is also very wise to do so. As Wang Yuanqing analyzed, Nepal only wants psychological comfort, or the Nepalese government needs a good reason to convince its citizens that the Republic has fulfilled its security commitments and has not abandoned Nepal. Only in this way will Nepalese nationals support the government's troop moves. More importantly, Nepal is well aware of the purpose of the republic's request for a change of defense, and if it bites the Nu army to the death, it will definitely offend the republic.

When Pei Chengyi returned to the front headquarters of Li, the train transporting the Mi army had already left.

Under Yuan Chenhao's arrangement, the transportation work is being carried out in an orderly manner. If all goes well, the main force of the Umber army will arrive in Zhanxi after the dawn of the flying day, and the delivery of war materials will be in place on the night of the fork day. In other words, the Nu army can attack from the early morning of Yuri at the earliest.

This result made Bei Chengyi very satisfied, because according to his calculations, "the Witch Army can only participate in the battle on the night of the 28th at the earliest."

A difference of a few hours, the impact is not significant.

The problem is that no well-planned campaign operation can be flawless. The "Junction Campaign" is recognized by military experts all over the world, and the Republic Army fought the most outstanding battle in the Indian War.

After regaining command, the first question that Pei Chengyi had to solve was when to capture Edava.

If you want to attack Bhopal, you have to capture Edati. According to Pei Seungyi's campaign, Edawa will be the forward base for the advance march into Bhopal. In other words, when the Umno army attacked Bhopal, it not only had to leave the artillery in Edawa, but also to hoard war supplies in Idavo. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Edawa must be captured before the army can be summoned to give the engineering troops enough time to complete the infrastructure work. If the Indian army did not invade Nepal, everything would have gone according to Pei Chengyi's plan, and the Knife Army's 1st Armored Assault Brigade or the 1st Old Thug Air Assault Brigade would occupy Edawa. Now the situation is that the Empty Heart Brigade has gone to Nepal for a "vacation." The 7th Knife Armored Assault Brigade did not receive the order to attack Edawa, and was searching for and destroying the scattered Indian troops all over the mountains. That is to say, by the time the 7th Knife Armored Assault Brigade concentrated its troops, the main force of the summoning army had already arrived in Zhanxi.

The A assault brigade can't be counted on, can the other 2 brigades be counted on?

The Lenai Armored Assault Brigade suffered heavy losses, and was withdrawn by Yuan Chenhao after the Mayhel blockade. At this time, he was already resting in Manigpur, basically in a state of "horses put in the South Mountain, and the armor was put into storage", and there was nothing to hope for. The State Armored Assault Brigade is also cleaning the battlefield in Banda. Moreover, according to the plan, the brigade will be stationed in Zhanxi before the arrival of the Nu army, and appropriately expand the defensive space in Zhanxi.

It was also unrealistic to transfer troops from other armies, and only the Concave army was able to capture Edava before the Nu army reached Zhanxi. According to Yuan Chenhao, the fallen army paid a great price in the battle to defend the temporary railway line. If it weren't for the art troupe going to the front line in advance to offer condolences, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level would have complained. Let the 4th Army attack Idavo, it is better to let Zhang Jun be self-reliant.

In fact, Pei Chengyi can only let Zhang Jun be self-reliant.

After figuring out the situation, Pei Chengyi adjusted the transfer of Zhang's army, and let the Congee Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which served as the vanguard, go directly to Sagar, and then attack Shudavao. In order to alleviate the pressure on the 1st Congee Mechanized Infantry Brigade, Pei Chengyi also ordered the A Assault Brigade, which was cleaning the battlefield nearby, to assemble as much as possible to Edawa, to prevent the Indian army from reinforcing Edawa, and if necessary, to fight a few skirmishes near Idavo.

Anyway, the Sword Army will retreat to rest after the Nu Army arrives, so how can Ling Yunxiao make a little more effort.

The second problem that Pei Chengyi needs to solve is the transportation of materials.

Because the Zhang Army is a heavily armored army, and the scale of its establishment is second only to the Correction Army, it not only needs to use hard work and wagons to transport all kinds of heavy equipment, but also has a much higher demand for materials than a strategic response army such as the Sword Army.

It can be said that the transportation of materials brings the greatest amount of hemp.

Although the army still fighting at this time was only about half of what it was at the beginning of the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, with the lengthening of the battle line, the mileage of material transportation increased proportionally, and the difficulty of logistical support greatly increased. Taking Hongjun as an example, the combat intensity at this time was much lower than at the beginning of the decisive battle, but the pressure on logistics support was twice as great, mainly because the battlefield was farther away from the rear and it was more troublesome to transport materials.

What made Pei Chengyi feel even more headache was that in order to meet Nepal's requirements, the three combat brigades of the Airborne Army had to arrive before the main force of the Nu Army left, so he had to mobilize all the airlift forces to send the three combat brigades into Nepal as quickly as possible. In this way, one cannot count on airlift forces. Fortunately, when the transport plane returned, it could send the personnel and some valuable equipment of the Witch Army to the front line, which reduced the pressure on railway transportation.

In any case, it was a very difficult task to complete the transportation of materials before the early hours of the murder day.

Following Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi decided to continue to "requisition" the Bangladesh Army's transport convoy, and also requisitioned several inland river transport ships that also belonged to Bangladesh and had just arrived in Patna. Although these inland river transport ships can only reach Bu Nesi. However, each ship can carry the cargo of one train. : The second technical university relieves the pressure of transportation on the railway line from Patna to Varanasi. With the ability of the Witch army to march, when it reaches Varanasi, the main army can rely on the road route to reach Jhansi on its own, and no longer need to occupy railway capacity.

I have to say that the shrewd and capable logistics staff officers under Pei Chengyi played a great role.

Although logistical staff officers are not as eye-catching as operational staff officers, in front-line command headquarters, the role of logistical staff officers far exceeds that of operational staff officers; in particular, when both the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief are focused on combat and do not pay too much attention to logistical work, operational staff officers often have nothing to do, while logistical staff officers are very busy.

After arranging logistics support, Pei Chengyi has to pay attention to the movements of the Indian army at all times.

Before Pei Chengyi returned to Wauzirabad, the Indian army began to move. The Umno Army and the three combat brigades have changed guards, and it is impossible to hide from the US reconnaissance satellites. This move was enough for Duchway to make a judgment, and it was enough to prompt the Indian army to immediately assemble combat troops in Bhopal and strengthen Bhopal's defenses.

Although there are not many Indian troops near Bhopal, and they are mainly second-line troops and reserve troops, Pei Chengyi does not dare to take it lightly. The way the Indian army has invaded Nepal to contain the summoned army is enough to prove that Pei Chengyi has seen the intention of Pei Chengyi to attack Bhopal, and knows the strategic significance of Bhopal. The fact that there are fewer troops that can be mobilized does not mean that Bhopal's defenses are weak. As long as enough attention is paid to it, the Indian army will try to hold Bhopal.

As an excellent commander, Pei Chengyi must understand a truth, that is, "the best defense is to attack"

If the Indian army holds Bhopal, Pei Chengyi has nothing to worry about, at most let the Mi army fight for a few more days, wait until the rest of the troops are rested, and then concentrate on taking Bhopal. Big deal, Bhopal becomes the next Kolkata, the next Ranchi, or the next Varanasi.

Although this will increase the consumption of the Republican Army, it will also be of great help to the next offensive if it can annihilate the main Indian army in Bhopal.

The Indian army did not fully strengthen the defenses of Bhopal. is what Pei Chengyi is most worried about.

In other words, the main forces of the Indian army did not go to Bhopal and will definitely appear in other directions. Because the attacker has the initiative, the defender can only passively meet the battle, so after the Indian army has the initiative to counterattack, Pei Chengyi can only passively strengthen the defensive force of the entire front. This means that Pei Chengyi must leave more troops in the rear, and the forces that can be sent to Bhopal are quite limited.

After thinking deeply about this issue, Pei Chengyi realized that attacking Bhopal was not a simple matter.

The point is, the front is too wide!

From Fatehpur to Edawa, the frontal front of the Republic Army is too wide to be a kilometer!

What is this concept? Even by the lowest standard of defense, it would take at least an army of fighters to hold such a wide line.

The problem is not so simple, on this front, Zhanxi has become a salient point, if the Indian army decides to take the initiative to counterattack the opponent, it will definitely attack Zhanxi, and it will attack Zhanxi with all its might. In order to ensure that the summoned army was not threatened from behind, it was necessary to hold Jhansi and not allow the enemy to take advantage of the lines of communication west of Jhansi. In this way, the strength of the thugs will also be invested here.

In this way, Pei Chengyi is much more accurate.

The real problem is, don't irrigate an army, and Pei Chengyi doesn't have a reserve for an army.

Let Zhang Jun go south alone?

The consequences are unimaginable and may even be self-defeating.

Du Qi has been working hard to find Pei Chengyi's flaws, and the Indian army will not give up the opportunity to defeat the Republican ** team, as long as there is a gap in Pei Chengyi's deployment, it will leave the enemy with a chance to counterattack, so that what should have been a key battle to defeat India will become the beginning of a fiasco for the Republic Army.

How to fight?

It is definitely not possible to hold on to the west, there are not enough troops, there is not enough investment, and it will be a crushing victory in the end.

If you can't defend it, you can only take the initiative to attack.

From the point of view of troop input, taking the initiative to attack is more strategic than defending to the death. With the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army, taking the initiative to attack can contain more than the old Indian army, and stubbornly defend to contain the Indian army at most.

It is not difficult to choose the direction of attack, and the west is just south of New Delhi, about a kilometer from New Delhi. Because India intends to defend New Delhi to the death, as long as one force can launch a surprise attack in the direction of New Delhi, it can contain all the Indian troops north of Occupy West, and the Indian troops that can attack Occupy West are also concentrated in the north. Of course, such an assault is no different from a "death squad". No matter which unit it is, it will be besieged by dozens of times the Indian army. If only one brigade of thugs is invested, it is possible to be besieged by hundreds of times the Indian army. This "death squad" must not only "dare to die six, but also successfully hold back several times or even hundreds of times the enemy, so that the enemy cannot become a threat to Zhansig." In other words, it must be a force that dares to rush and fight, dare to fight desperately with the enemy, and dare to fight alone behind enemy lines.

The question is, which unit will be able to act as a "death squad"?

Pei Chengyi is not without a choice, but he knows that this choice cannot be decided by him.

Although the commander-in-chief of the front line has the right to mobilize all troops in the theater, Pei Chengyi does not have the right to send thousands of officers and soldiers to death.

After thinking twice, Pei Chengyi asked the communications staff officer to prepare for the video conference.

Someone had to take on the most arduous combat mission, and Pei Chengyi didn't want to "order" anyone to go, but wanted to make the final decision in a "volunteering" way.
