The battle of the attack contract is very crucial, but it is impossible for Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao to focus on the battle of the brigade. 【】As a campaign commander. Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao do not need to focus on tactical actions, they should concentrate on coordinating various combat forces.

The airborne thugs are the first to be taken by the brigade. The old brigade of the air assault also embarked on the journey.

Although the Air Assault Brigade was about a minute later than the two Airborne Brigades, and its flight was much slower than that of the Air Force's transport planes. However, the distance between Djogburni and Dalpenga is closer to the base of the Air Assault Brigade, and the flight time required is shorter.

At 20,000 o'clock, the vanguard of the Air Assault Brigade arrived at Giogerboni.

The commander of the Indian army raised the white flag after the two Indian infantry battalions stationed there put up only minor resistance and were now unable to defeat their opponents. The battle against Dalpenga was more troublesome, and the thugs were stationed in the place, and the attacking force was less than Lili.

The battle began at 2 o'clock, although the old thug who was on the assault mission broke through the Indian army's outer defensive line, entered the city of Dalpenga, and began to advance in the direction of the railway station. It's normal to get into trouble, and the degree of advancement is also within the predicted direction of the previous finger. As long as the old mouth camp and the Makuyu camp can join the old camp before dawn, there will be no suspense in the battle of Darjanga.

The vanguard of the brigade with the airborne thugs arrived in Varanasi at 2 o'clock.

Although Varanasi is not the seat of the local government, but a large city in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh, India, as the largest railway transportation hub in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, Varanasi is not in any way less important than Ranchi, and the Indian troops stationed there are not much less than Ranchi.

In order to be able to occupy Varanasi as soon as possible, the airborne thugs Nai's brigade chose the airborne field on the river beach on the north bank of the Ganges River in the north of the city.

This choice has greatly increased the difficulty of airborne operations.

With the airborne thugs up to half or so. In addition, the Ganges River is several kilometers wide to the south, and the railway line guarded by the Indian army is to the north, and the width of the airborne landing field is only 2 kilometers from north to south and less than 3 kilometers from east to west.

Although the airborne field is reduced, it is possible to shorten the line of defense. However, the airborne field said that after the landing of the Xiaokou battalion, it had to face a very helpless choice, that is, to give up the operation of attacking Varanasi to the west, and to attack the north as soon as possible, to capture the Indian army's defensive line set up on the south side of the main railway line, and to prevent the Indian army's counterattack troops from moving south.

As a result, the airborne thugs of the brigade lost their original meaning when they landed on the river beach.

Fortunately, the Brigade was supposed to be airborne on the open plain northwest of Varana, and then attack Varanasi to the south. In response to this situation, the Indian army's defensive forces also placed their main forces northwest of Varana, and set up a criss-cross defensive formation. Probably under the influence of the defensive deployment of the Indian army. The airborne swamp brigade had to choose a river beach with an area of less than one square kilometer as the airborne landing site. Fight against the Indian army.

In Li Dongshi, the first thug brigade was still fighting fiercely with the Indian army on the north side of the river beach.

Although the advance of the old airborne brigade was a little slower and it was not able to capture the railway station east of Varanasi as quickly as planned, the entire combat operation was still under control. The interdiction bombing provided by the Air Force effectively curbed the Indian army's ability to move and bought more time for the airborne thug brigade. As soon as the Varanasi railway station was captured before dawn, the old airborne brigade completed its combat mission.

The Airborne Retort Brigade, which served as a reserve for the campaign, was not mobilized.

According to the revised operational plan, "wait until the airborne thugs are brigades." If the Indian army abandons the counterattack on Ranchi and Varanasi, and chooses to break through from between Ranchi and Varanasi, the Airborne Urus Brigade will send the main force to Dehri and Gerwa to cut off the Indian army's breakthrough route.

From this, it can be seen that the airborne Peng Brigade is responsible for the final "door shut-off" operation.

Compared with the outflanking operations in the west and south of the battlefield, the main offensive operations in the east and north of the battle are more worthy of attention.

The capture of Baharampur and Padbara was still the responsibility of the Airborne Army, and because of the proximity, the Air Assault Brigade and the Air Force came out later.

In contrast to the operations of the two airborne brigades, the main support force of the Air Assault Fighter Brigade and the Air Force is not the Air Force and Army Aviation, but the separate artillery brigade of the Cave Army deployed in Bangladesh.

It has to be said that as a garrison of the capital. The feather army has received more favors than the sword army.

As the largest field army in the Republic Army, the Correction Army not only has the largest number of combat brigades. It is also the only field army with 2 separate artillery brigades, and each independent artillery brigade has an artillery battalion. Before the start of the battle, Pei Chengyi mobilized the airlift force of the amphibious assault fleet and sent thousands of tons of artillery shells originally provided to the fleet for use. Although several thousand tons of artillery shells can be used by two artillery brigades at most to consume a few small gangs, the artillery support of the army in the most critical hours of the battle is not to mention, as the marines open up the ground supply line, the concave army can be resupplied.

With the artillery support of the Picket Army, the battle against Baharampur was fought with ease.

It seems that the air assault brigade did not trust much, and before the battle began, the reconnaissance unit of the 3rd Army crossed the Indo-Mongolian border line and reached the outskirts of Baharampur to find targets for the artillery.

When the battle began, the Army's first thug, Blink Brigade, asked for artillery support, and also used the data provided by the scouts to complete the additional mission. Although this action violated the combat order issued by the front-line command, Pei Chengyi only wanted the result, not the process. As long as the Brigade provides support and maintains firepower throughout the attack, no matter how it is fought, it will be fine.

Comparatively speaking, the operation of the Air Assault Brigade to attack Padbara was much more difficult.

Mainly Padbara, which is about a kilometre north of Kolkata, is not only the main military base of Kolkata, but also the hub of railways and roads to the region north of Kolkata. It is India's main military fortress on the east bank of the Ganges River, facing Bangladesh. Among other things, the troops stationed in Padbara numbered divisions and 30,000 temporarily mobilized armed men.

Because Padbala's defense was strong enough, Pei Chengyi arranged a lot of support forces.

At 2 a.m., the first minute of the battle, the fleet swimming in the Bay of Bengal concentrated its firepower. Blade minutes of heavy shelling were carried out on Padbara. According to the battle report submitted by Hua Kefeng after the battle, "The cruiser and the destroyer threw grenades at Padbara in total. Three rounds of full-coverage shelling were carried out. Subsequently, six aircraft carriers dispatched close fighter jets to drop nearly 1,000 tons of bombs on Padbara, completing the fourth full-coverage strike.

It has to be said that the early preparation of fire for the attack on Padbara was the most intense.

Even so. When the vanguard of the Kongtukou thug brigade arrived, it was still met with stubborn resistance from the Indian army.

After the battle began, the officers and men of the air force had to advance step by step with the aviation support fire of the brigade and the artillery fire provided by the 1st Zhangkou Artillery Brigade. In the words of the field commander of the hand battalion who participated in the battle, almost every few meters of advance, the troops had to stop and call for fire support. Knock out the Indian fortifications that popped up out of nowhere, if not for the timely and adequate fire support. I am afraid that every time we take a step forward, there will be officers and soldiers who will come down.

The assault battle turned into a tough battle, which surprised Pei Chengyi.

It was only at 3 points that Pei Chengyi got the news from the front line. It was learned that among the 3 Indian divisions stationed in Padbara, there was at least one armored division of the thugs. Apparently, something went wrong with the intelligence. When the campaign plan was formulated, the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the reconnaissance unit proved that Padbara had only three Indian infantry divisions and no armored divisions.

The battle situation changed abruptly, and the effect of Pei Chengyi's adjustment of the campaign plan was revealed.

Just after 4 o'clock, the Air Assault Brigade was dispatched to take part in the assault on Padbara.

In order to avoid an excessive concentration of attacking forces, the Air Assault Brigade did not use the method of reserve. Attacking in the direction of the Air Raider Brigade, it landed south of Padbara, cut off Padbara from Kolkata, surrounded Padbara with Air, and then attacked Padbara to the north.

If it is according to Yuan Chenhao's battle plan. At this time, Pei Chengyi sent a few battalions at most, and he couldn't send a brigade of thugs up.

After sending the Air Raid Return Brigade, Pei Chengyi was not too worried about the combat operations in the Padbara direction.

If neither of the two brigades can defeat Padbara, there will be no need for the air assault force to exist.

Even if the old air assault brigade was dispatched in advance, Pei Chengyi still had 2 air assault brigades and thugs in his hands. Airborne brigades, that is, reserves are of a size comparable to the irrigation of attacking troops. Although according to traditional tactical theory, the offensive focuses on one-time investment, that is, at the beginning of the attack, a sufficient number of troops must be invested in order to open the enemy's defenses. But in modern warfare, where firepower determines the winner or loser. The offense is more focused on sustainability. In particular, in a large-depth offensive, if there are no combat units that can sustainably invest, the offensive will become weak in follow-up, and even if it can open a breakthrough in the early stage of the campaign, it will not be able to expand the scope of the offensive, and thus lose the initiative to attack.

After dispatching the Air Assault Brigade, Pei Chengyi's campaign layout was basically completed.

The assault operation in one direction was tantamount to inserting three nails around the enemy, opening a negligent net and enveloping the Indian Army's Eastern Army Group.

The next thing to do is to go head-on

At 4 points, the first concave thug of the concave army turned into a full-scale attack.

As the "First Brigade" of the fallen army, the Armored Brigade of the First Hong Thug shouldered the heavy task of tearing apart the Indian army's defense line.

The main attack is the result of repeated discussions between Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao.

Whether or not the Indian defense line can be quickly torn apart will have a decisive impact on the offensive operations that follow.

In other words, only by quickly breaking through the Indian army's defense line can we expand the breakthrough as quickly as possible. Commit more combat troops. In this way, the wheel assault pays more attention to quality than degree. Although the sword army also has the ability to tear through the Indian army's defense. However, the assault operations of the Knife Army are often on the heavy side. Unable to defeat a frontal enemy in the first place. Only a heavily armored army like the Ming Army has the ability to break through and at the same time crush the frontal enemy and create more opportunities for the assault troops behind.

The battle went well, and the first nail step of the Indian Army's 1st Army, which was stationed in the first line of defense, broke through with the thug armored brigade, and then began to shrink back. Although the commander of the 1st Infantry Division made the right decision, he used the method of shrinking the defensive line and increasing the density of troops to slow down the advance of the 1st Armored Brigade. But the 4th Infantry Division faced not an armored assault brigade, but an armored brigade that was extremely good at expanding the breach. After the Indian army began to shrink the defensive line, the 1st Insert Armored Brigade immediately expanded to the flanks. Expanding the width of the offensive turned the Indian army's contraction into a rout on all fronts.

By coincidence, Lieutenant General Qu Maokang, commander of the Bi Army, lost no time in throwing himself into the 1st Armored Brigade.

Although the Indian Army's 1st Armored Division and 1st Infantry Division stationed in the second line of defense have entered defensive positions, and some of the combat units of the 1st Blade Infantry Division have retreated to the second line of defense. But under the assault of 2 armored brigades, the Indian army could not hold the fragile line of defense at all.

After 6 o'clock, Qu Maokang threw himself into the third combat brigade.

The 1st Congee Armored Assault Brigade did not join the frontal attack, but threw itself into battle from the northeast, storming the Indian right flank line. In order to cooperate with the offensive operations of the 1st Armored Assault Brigade, when the 1st Armored Brigade reached the second line of defense of the Indian army, it handed over the task of frontal main attack to the vigorous 1st Armored Brigade, which quickly maneuvered westward, launched a fierce attack on the left flank defense line of the Indian army, and laid out a plan to encircle the Indian army

Force.

At this point, let alone hold the second line of defense. It would be nice for the Indian army to gain a foothold in Brnia.

When a breakthrough had been made in the frontal offensive and the offensive task was about to be completed ahead of schedule, Pei Chengyi immediately sent another main force up. Now the question is not how to hit Burnia, how to increase the offensive line. Let the gathered combat units unfold.

Xiong Zhanfen, the sky was about to dawn, and the sword army, which had been waiting in the rear for several hours, finally received the order to join the battle.

Ling Yunxiao didn't delay for a second, and immediately let the troops who were ready to go.

The Knife Army has two missions, and both of them are quick assault missions.

The first task was to capture Raiganj, southeast of Gischenenj, to open up a railway line of communication from Bangladesh to Gischengenja, and lay the foundation for the war materiel from Bangladesh to be obtained later. Because the Indian army's frontal defense line has collapsed, the two second-line infantry divisions stationed in Laiganjie will definitely not be better at fighting than the main division, and will even take the initiative to retreat after the collapse of the whole line, so Ling Yunxiao only sent the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade, and unmistakably told the brigade commander that after occupying Laigenjie, if the Indian army retreats to the south, a combat battalion will be left to guard Laigenjie, and the main force is not allowed to chase the Indian army south. It was not until the capture of the English Bazar that he stopped to wait for supplies and reinforcements.

I have to say that Ling Yunsheng is a very subjective field commander.

According to Pei Chengyi's plan, after capturing Laiganjie, there is no need to rush to capture the British Bazar, and only when the Indian army vainly tries to advance from the British Bazar to Bangladesh, the troops occupying Laiganj should move south as soon as possible. Given the situation on the battlefield at the time, staying in Raeginger would ensure the availability of war supplies from Bangladesh, and the capture of British Bazar was not much necessary. Even in order to open the ground passage to Baharampur and Padbara as soon as possible, it is possible to wait until the Hongjun makes a major breakthrough in the front. That is, after the capture of Brnia, the Indian army retreated on all fronts, and then occupied LinkedIn Gili Bazar bloodlessly.

Ling Yunxiao wasn't impatient, he just didn't want to steal the limelight.

With the exception of the A Assault Brigade that moved south to attack Raiganj, the Cuther Armored Assault Brigade and the Armored Assault Brigade followed the route of the Au Army. After reaching the first line of defense of the Indian army, he quickly turned westward, crossed the Ilam River, and launched a surprise attack in the direction of Bulnia. Duration. The 1st Armoured Assault Brigade was also to detach a force to capture Alaria, which was located between Purnia and Zogburni, and to open a ground passage from Giogburni to Brnia.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Pei Chengyi's deployment is a bit of a trick.

Hong's army had enough ability to hit Burnia. Is it necessary for the sword army to repeat the attack?

The answer is yes, it is very necessary.

Brnia had a very important military value, and the capture of Brnia was the first important objective of the ground offensive. In other words, the capture of Brnia was tantamount to establishing a foothold on the north bank of the Ganges, opening the entrance to Patnabihar and Varanasi, and laying the foundation for the journey to Dadroponga.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, after completing the outflanking and division of the campaign, he first annihilated the north of the Ganges River

Even from a small point of view, the capture of Brnia as soon as possible can cut off the retreat of the three main divisions and one second-line division of the Indian First Army and complete the first round of tactical outflanking operations.

From this, the sooner you occupy Bulnia. The easier the battle will be.

Attract the main force of the Indian First Army in the front, and then let the sword army rush to poison Brnia, making full use of the advantages of the 2 armies.

Frontal attack, the sword army is not as good as the 4th army, fast assault. The Hongjun is definitely inferior to the sword army.

According to Pei Chengyi's order, Ling Yunxiao, who personally led the troops to assault, did not provoke the Indian troops encountered on the road. In Pei Chengyi's words, if you can't fight, you won't fight, and leave the task of destroying the Indian army to the combat troops behind, the knife army can't delay half a time on the road, and if you can't capture Brnia before the Hong army, don't brag about the strategic response army being better at fighting assault warfare than the armored army.

It doesn't matter whether this encouraging sentence has a role or not, the key thing is that Ling Yunxiao will not let the sword army lose to Hongjun.
