。 【Full text reading】Moon Ugly Day. The most uneventful day after the decisive battle on the Eastern Front began. In the early hours of the morning, after a night of intense preparation, the sword army that had rested in Gardenridge for several days boarded the train bound for Varanasi. Although as a strategic reaction force, the Knife Army is able to complete the task of maneuvering on the battlefield within a kilometer of the fighter within two hours without relying on other forces, as long as conditions permit, the combat unit will try its best to use the railway to carry out battlefield maneuvering; first, the transportation efficiency of the railway is higher, second, the loss of equipment is smaller, and third, it can ensure that the combat personnel can participate in the battle in the best mental state. According to the establishment standards of the sword army, a total of 10,000 trains with four wagons of thugs are needed to transport all the equipment and personnel. After much difficulty, Yuan Chenhao was able to get the milk train, and as a last resort, he had to let most of the combatants and all non-combatants take the vertical take-off and landing transport plane of the Army Airlines to Varanasi. Because the transport plane is much faster than the train, the personnel come out after dawn.

As soon as the train carrying the heavy equipment of the Knife Army left Garden, it was spotted by an American reconnaissance satellite.

Receiving the satellite reconnaissance report, Duchway was not surprised. According to his judgment, sooner or later, Pei Chengyi would send the sword army to Varanasi. The vanguard of the Hong's army has reached Allahabad, and the main force is about to arrive. If Pei Chengyi did not plan to let the sword army participate in the combat operation against Allahabad, he would let the sword army go out from Varanasi and attack westward after the Hong army surrounded Allahabad.

Judging from the time when the sword army came out, Pei Chengyi definitely didn't think about defeating Allahabad first.

As long as the sword army completes the large-depth assault, Allahabad will become Pei Chengyi's bag, and even if the Hongjun does nothing, Allahabad's Indian army will disarm and surrender after running out of ammunition and food. In any case, Allahabad was not a military fortress, and if the siege could not be lifted in time, the defenders would not be able to hold out for long.

Before dawn, the main force of the Hongjun army reached Allahabad.

As with Duchway's speculation, the 4th Army did not immediately launch a large-scale attack, but first cut off Allahabad from the outside world in a roundabout way, and then deployed a defensive line on the periphery of the Indian army's defensive position, posing a posture of besieging Allahabad for a long time.

Up until this point, Dudgway had not contacted Stark.

Judging whether Pei Chengyi will attack Allahabad is not whether to attack Allahabad immediately, nor whether the sword army will go to Allahabad, because Pei Chengyi will definitely let the fallen army surround Allahabad, and then arrange the next combat operation after the sword army arrives.

The problem is that Duchway can't wait until that time, to be precise, the Indian army can't wait until that time.

If Pei Chengyi's intentions were judged by waiting until the Sword Army arrived at Allahabad, even if it was the American Army under the personal command of Dugway who was fighting in Allahabad, it would be too late to adjust the deployment and stop the Sword Army from advancing westward.

The basis that can be used to judge Pei Chengyi's battle intentions is only one catty, "that is, the war materials transported to Allah Ajnande."

If Allahabad is only surrounded, there will not be a lot of supplies sent to the front line at this time, only enough for the Hongjun army, and most of the supplies will be left in Varanasi, and after the arrival of the sword army, they will be transported to the front line together. If the transport force is insufficient, it will even allocate the supplies of the Cave Army to the Knife Army, and then replenish the Cave Army with the supplies stored in Varanasi. The main reason is that the establishment of the sword army is too large, and the requirements for transportation forces are very high. The distance from Varanasi to Allahabad is about a kilometer, and in order to maximize the assault ability of the sword army, Pei Chengyi will definitely let the sword army assemble in Allahabad. In this way, in order to ensure the transportation of the sword army, it can only reduce the amount of materials delivered.

If the situation is the opposite, and a large number of supplies are sent to Allahabad, it is almost certain that Pei Chengyi has adopted a more conservative tactic. First, let the sword army assist the Hong army to capture Allahabad, and then rely on the support of the concave army to advance westward, steadily tearing apart the strategic defense line of the Indian army. If that were the case, Dudgway would have nothing to worry about. Although the Knife Army rested in Garden Ridge for several days, the Cave Army had been fighting for many days, and after losing the suddenness of the attack, it was difficult for the Knife Army to make great strides on its own. As long as the advance of the Knife Army is blocked, no matter how far it retreats, the Indian Army can reconstruct the strategic defense line in the battle to block the Knife Army.

Will Pei Chengyi choose a steady tactic?

After receiving the reconnaissance report, Du Qiwei knew that no matter what time it was, Pei Chengyi must not be underestimated.

The war supplies delivered to Allahabad were very limited, and at most they could only be consumed for a few hours. Duchway seemed a little reluctant to believe that Pei Chengyi would be so bold, so the intelligence analyst once again analyzed the photos returned by the reconnaissance satellites, checked the convoy of trains and trucks bound for Allahabad in the photos, and even screened the nature of the goods placed in the open air. The second analysis is still the same, and the supplies sent to Allahabad are at most for the Hongjun to consume.

Is it too little?

Du Qiwei was a little puzzled, what did Pei Chengyi want to do?

The sword army departed from Garden Ridge and could reach Varanasi at the earliest, and then to Allahabad. In other words, it would be very good for the sword army to be able to complete the preparation for the attack at night. Even if the Sword Army can be replenished for about 2 days before the Sword Army is delivered, the Sword Army will definitely call in the war materials allocated to the Hong Army when it assembles in Allahabad. The size of the sword army is comparable to that of the Hong army, and the ability to consume materials is comparable to that of the Bi army. In other words, when the sword army left Allahabad, it would not only take all the war materials of the Hong army. And the war materiel carried can only be strong

Is Pei Chengyi crazy?

If the Hongjun army does not have enough combat materials, no matter how strong its combat strength is, it will not be able to defeat the Indian army, which is more than twice as large as before. It is impossible for Pei Chengyi to be unaware of the supply work under the surveillance of US reconnaissance satellites, so it is impossible for him to make such a serious low-level mistake. The problem of the sword army is the same, no matter how strong the assault capability is, without war materials, the sword army will not be able to move an inch in front of the Indian army.

Du Qiwei did not believe that Pei Chengyi would make such a low-level mistake.

You must know that since the start of the war, Pei Chengyi has been trying his best to solve the logistics support problem of the squadron, and even gave up many opportunities to expand the results of the battle. How could a commander who attaches so much importance to logistics allow 2 main armies to go deep behind enemy lines when logistics support is not in place?

It wasn't until noon that day, as the group of officers and men transporting knives arrived in Varanasi, that Duchway suddenly understood.

It's not that Pei Chengyi doesn't yearn for Allahabad to deliver war materials, but that he doesn't have enough transportation equipment in his hands. More than half of the wagons were sent to transport the heavy equipment of the Sword Army, while the rest were scattered along the various transport lines. More than half of the heavy trucks were sent to support the Mi and Blade Forces, while the rest were used to deliver supplies to Bengali war refugees in remote areas. In other words, Pei Chengyi is powerless.

Of course, Pei Chengyi is not without a way to solve this problem.

The fleet of officers and men transporting knives is a transport force that cannot be ignored.

At this point, Pei Chengyi's intention to mobilize vertical take-off and landing transport planes to transport knives and soldiers has also emerged.

Immediately after arriving in Varanasi, the transports loaded with war materiel and flew to Allahabad. Although each VTOL transport aircraft can only carry tons of cargo, it can carry up to four tons of material to the front line before the sword army attacks, which is equivalent to the transportation volume of a train with seven to a wagon with a blade.

According to the combat standards of the Bi army, these supplies can be consumed for a few hours. If according to the combat standards of the Sword Army when performing assault missions, these materials can consume about Zhao hours. The problem of logistical support was easily solved, and Pei Chengyi's campaign intentions were completely clear.

According to Du Qiwei's calculations, if the Sword Army assists the Hongjun in attacking Allahabad, because the ground attack on the Great Mold, it will consume more supplies, so the materials hoarded during the flying day and night can only be consumed for a few hours at most. If Pei Chengyi can't draw more capacity as soon as possible, he will not be able to provide sufficient logistics support for the two armies. If the sword army is allowed to bypass Allahabad and launch a large in-depth attack, the sword army will still be able to carry enough war materials to last for 3 days, while leaving an hour of combat supplies for the Hong army. As long as Pei Chengyi will fight. Staying in Varanasi will ensure that the Sword Army does not have to worry about supplies in the assault battle. More importantly, with the arrival of the train transporting the 77th Army to Allahabad, Pei Chengyi could provide sufficient combat materials for the Hongjun army through ground supplies.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi is ready to let the 77th Army launch a strategic offensive in great depth.

The new question is, where is the destination of the Sword Army?

When thinking about this problem, Du Qiwei did not consider the assault capability of the sword army, but the logistics support capability.

Because combat materials can only be provided to the sword army by air, the distance that logistics support can reach is the distance that can be reached by air. What's more, air freight distance is inversely proportional to air freight capacity. In other words, the farther the air transport, the less material will be transported by air. The sword army is in a large-depth assault, "The sky needs to work wildly." The vast majority of the tons of combat materials are ammunition provided to the independent artillery brigade and the artillery battalions of each brigade, and if the Indian army stubbornly resists, the consumption of materials will be accelerated a lot. In this way, at least we must ensure that we deliver tons of supplies to the Sword Army every day. Hit a sortie. According to. It is not difficult to calculate the performance, and the air distance is up to kilometers. In other words, even if the ugly dish comes out of Allahabad, the straight-line assault distance of the sword army cannot exceed a thousand kilometers!

Drawing this conclusion and drawing a circle on the map will determine the range of the sword army's swing.

So, which strategic location will the Sword Army attack?

It only took a few minutes for Du Qiwei to make a judgment that the destination of the Sword Army must be Fatahpur!

Until this time, Duchway still did not issue a warning.

Judging Pei Chengyi's battle intentions is not equivalent to defeating the sword army.

Will the Indian army be able to hold on to Fatahpur?

Obviously impossible, because Fatahpur is the rear of Allahabad, if the Indian army sticks to Fatahpur, Pei Chengyi is very likely to make a plan, let the sword army besiege Fatahpur, and then mobilize troops, and even send out troops that are resting to concentrate on taking Allahabad down. Because Fatehpur was under siege, it was impossible for the Indian army to establish the next strategic line of defense east of the area, but only west of Fatehpur.

If you retreat, it's Kanpur!

What are the consequences of retreating to Kanpur?

That means that the front line of the squadron on the Eastern Front is less than a kilometer away from New Delhi!

If he really wants to come to this point, Pei Chengyi is very likely to consolidate the war plan "to treat the Western Front as a secondary front, concentrate forces to attack New Delhi from the Eastern Front, and go to the New Bundesliga from the Bernihal Pass controlled by the Central ** team to the New Bundesliga." It is about a kilometre from Amritsar, surrounded by Pakistani troops, to New Delhi, and even from the Indo-Afghan border of the Sutlej River to New Delhi. Due to various aspects, especially political considerations, it is very likely that the squadron will abandon the battlefield on the Western Front and continue to expand the offensive on the Eastern Front.

Thinking of this, Du Qiwei was completely sure that Pei Chengyi's intention was to let the Sword Army capture Fatehpur.

By the time the squadron was ready to attack New Delhi, it had already taken control of the Ganges valley. Although the army was completely inland, far from the port, the squadron could make use of the railway lines of communication in the Ganges River valley to provide sufficient logistical support for the combat troops. Duchway even believes that in order to provide sufficient combat supplies for the army, the Chinese government will borrow trains from Nepal, Bangladesh and other countries that also use narrow-gauge railways as India to increase the transportation capacity of the Ganges region. If you take into account the shipping capacity of the Ganges River, as well as the strong air and road transportation capacity of the squadron, not to mention ensuring a few catties, the army, even if it is invested in the eastern front, it is not a problem.

It was only after this judgment was made that Dudgway contacted Stark.

The Indian army must not defend Fatehpur, and even if it cannot annihilate the sword army, it must do its best to block the sword army in the area west of Fatehpur, and must not let the knife army get close to Fatehpur. As for when to strengthen Fatahpur's defenses, that will be a matter for the future. If the sword army cannot be stopped, even if the Indian army holds Fatehpur, it will not be able to stay there for a long time, and sooner or later it will be annihilated by the squadron.

The warning was given, and Du Qiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

It was also at this time, that is, Beijing time, that the 3rd Army officially handed over all the garrison tasks in Kolkata to the Air Assault Brigade and embarked on the road back to Bangladesh.

When the weakened army left for Bangladesh, the first Bangladeshi army to enter India began to take over the camps.

According to the agreement reached between the Republic and Bangladesh, after the victory of the Republican ** team in the ground war, Bangladesh was responsible for the occupation of West Bengal and its adjacent Bengali ethnic areas, and the Bangladesh** team was responsible for the care and resettlement of war refugees.

Under political influence, the Mongols first took over not Calcutta, but various refugee camps.

It has to be said that the Bangladeshi government attaches great importance to the compatriots in India. The first Mon troops who entered India did not carry much heavy equipment or even ammunition, but stuffed various vehicles with daily necessities for the refugees, especially food and medicine for the continuation of the camps.

In order to intensify the propaganda, Meng Jun also invited hundreds of reporters to accompany him.

Of course, the Army of the Republic will not miss a good opportunity for self-promotion.

When handing over a refugee camp outside the city of English Bazar to the Meng army, Major Dongfang Wen, who was sent by Pei Chengyi, personally handed over the key to the gate that symbolized the management of the refugee camp, as well as recorded ten thousand catties. The roster of names was handed over to Major General Meng Jun, who had come to take over, and a group photo was taken in front of hundreds of reporters. Subsequently, Dongfang Wen not only answered the reporter's questions, but also invited the reporter to visit the refugee camp. Although the largest refugee camp in eastern India is home to 10,000 people, the camp is well organized and has all the basic amenities, including essential clinics, emergency centres, food outlets, and a nursery school for refugees. A group of volunteers from the Republic even set up temporary training schools in the camps to teach refugees who had lost their homes the skills to work, to introduce them to the basic documents needed to work in the Republic and the most suitable jobs for them.

It has to be said that this propaganda has greatly changed the image of the republic, especially the republican ** team, in the eyes of the outside world.

Soldiers can fight bravely on the front lines and save refugees in the rear.

According to an AFP reporter on the spot, the republic not only provided shelter, basic necessities, medical care, and basic education for these war-torn refugees, but also opened its mind to provide them with a way to work abroad, so that they could see the hope of rebuilding their homes and achieving a happy life.

It's just that not all journalists are satisfied.

Several journalists offered to go to Calcutta, but Dongfang Wen refused on the grounds that it was not within the scope of the Mon army's takeover.

In fact, the Bangladeshi government does not want to wade into the muddy waters of Kolkata.

Immediately after the Republic offered to extend the transfer of jurisdiction to Kolkata, the Higala State agreed and offered to extend it if necessary.

Everyone knows that the republic needs time to finish the aftermath.

Although the concave army withdrew, and the sword army also drove away, but 3 catties, the air assault brigade stayed.

Even though the main task was to collect the weapons and equipment of the Indian army, settle prisoners of war, and demobilize non-combatants, according to the speculation of some Western news media, especially the American news media, the first thing the Republic Army had to do was to clean up the ruins of the war and destroy the evidence of the humanitarian catastrophe caused in Calcutta.

In any case, the Republic Army did not open Kolkata, nor did the Bangladesh Army go to Kolkata.

Later in the day, when the global news media was once again hyping up the Kolkata news, a war story on the Internet by several freelancers from the "International Federation of Journalists" in the northeastern region of India attracted the world's attention, to be precise, it was not war news, but an accusation of the Holocaust!

The paper could not contain the fire, and world public opinion was in an uproar.
