The modern information of the rigidity of the tide is very dog-like to remove the mysterious brother of the war."

As India officially declared war on the Republic and Pakistan, and Indian troops began to assemble on the Western and Eastern Fronts, the Quanshu news media immediately turned their attention to the South Asian subcontinent. 【Reading.com】

Admittedly, modern commercial remote sensing technology has reached a breathtaking height.

With the first photographs of the theater of operations taken by the European Resources Remote Sensing Satellite appeared on the Internet, those who had nothing to do with the war and who followed it closely began to analyze the situation on the battlefield. In order to capture the audience and increase the ratings, the major news media also spared no effort to start introducing the situation of the war.

Among the major news media, the most representative is definitely ... with Al Jazeera.

After years of exhibition, Al Jazeera has become the only one that can compete with the Western news media. Rival international television stations.

According to... India has adopted a strategy of attacking from the west and defending from the east. In order to prove this point, several military experts were invited to conduct on-the-spot comments with retired US generals, and a lot of evidence was also cited. According to the analysis of a retired major general of the US Army, affected by the overall battle situation and the comparison of strength, it is difficult for the Indian army to defeat the powerful squadron in the eastern battlefield, and can only pin its hopes on the western battlefield, strive to defeat Pakistan as quickly as possible, consolidate the northwest region with New Delhi as the core, and then use its vast strategic depth to contend with the squadron in the eastern battlefield. Although there is some truth in this analysis, such as the Indian army is not the opponent of the squadron, and New Delhi is also very important, the US generals ignored a pound and a very important issue, that is, the strategic mobility of the squadron. The main opponent of the Indian army is not the Pakistani army, but the squadron, which cannot defeat the squadron, and even if Pakistan is eliminated, India will not be able to win the war. The Indian army's strategy of "attacking from the west and defending from the east" is undoubtedly avoiding the important and making light of the light. As a result, the door of its eastern country was opened, giving the captain of the squadron a chance to drive in. As the squadron gained a firm foothold in the eastern theater, it was inevitable to shift the direction of the offensive and focus on attacking New Delhi. Based on the comparison of the strength of the two armies, if the Indian army cannot hold back the squadron on the eastern battlefield, it will not be possible to defeat Pakistan before the squadron achieves a decisive victory. If you want to hold the squadron on the eastern battlefield, the ideal thing to do is not to defend, but to attack aggressively. With the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the passive defense of the Indian army has only a dead end!

The judgment of the Banwu TV station is diametrically opposed to Gang, believing that the Indian army's large-scale build-up of troops in the west is not to defeat Pakistan, but to create pressure on China and force China to divide its forces to help Pakistan, so as to gain the opportunity to counterattack on the eastern battlefield, delay the offensive pace of the squadron, and gain enough time to complete the general mobilization of the national war. At the same time, Al Jazeera also believes that China will not give up on Pakistan, and will definitely send several ground troops to Pakistan to defend the local defense line for Pakistan, at least to prevent the Indian army from capturing Lahore and attacking the hinterland of Pakistan.

After stabilizing the western battlefield, the squadron will launch an all-out offensive on the eastern battlefield, without giving the Indian army any respite. In this way, the only way for the Indian army to reverse its defeat is to attack in both directions at the same time, with no more than an hour apart, and the sooner the attack, the better.

During the war of words between the two media outlets, some "neutral people" also commented through the Internet.

According to public and semi-public sources, the vast majority of commentators with a certain degree of military literacy believe that India will strike back in two directions at the same time, focusing not on the western front, but on the eastern front. Whether India can reverse its defeat and seize the initiative in the war depends not on the combat effectiveness of the Indian army or the defense capability of the Pakistani army, but on the actions taken by the squadron. According to the analysis of some commentators, the squadron is most likely to adopt the strategy of "defending the west and attacking the east", using the three armies that have already arrived in Pakistan to help the Pakistani army hold the western defense line, and then dispatch the main force to launch a full-scale offensive on the eastern front. Some commentators even believe that the squadron will not focus on the eastern part of India at the beginning of the battle, but will expand the scope of the offensive, from Gischengen to attack Indian towns in the lower reaches of the Ganges, and strive to advance the front to the Bay of Bengal as quickly as possible and seize a certain port.

In any case, with the situation basically transparent, the actions of both sides can be speculated.

It is precisely because of this that several gaming institutions have opened handicaps. Unlike the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, not many people are optimistic about India, and almost everyone expects the Sino-Pakistani coalition to win a big victory. Because after the opening, the odds of the Sino-Pakistani coalition jumped to above the blade loss beater, so all gaming institutions stopped betting on the night of the 2nd.

Indeed, India has gone all out, mobilizing millions of ground troops; China only used 6 armies, and there are still nearly old armies that have not been on the battlefield; Pakistan also dispatched less than half of its ground forces and had sufficient reserves.

Large-scale ground battles began, and whoever had more reserves had a better chance of victory, without taking into account other factors.

Regardless of the outside world, the soldiers on the battlefield were not affected.

Although Pei Chengyi did not prohibit the participating troops from obtaining information from the outside world, and therefore did not block the sources of information, the commander of the army, Major General Sai Zhibiao, did not have time to read news reports at all, and he did not even have enough time to sleep.

On the night of the 2nd, the wounded army reached the temporary camp north of Srinagar

According to the original plan, the army would not immediately enter the battle, and would only enter the battle if the Indian army counterattacked and the army could not stop it. In fact, the deception army also participated in the war, and if it was the Jiaoli thugs in the Fongshmir area, "from the arrival of combat units, the support forces including the army's artillery brigade and logistics brigade did not arrive. As a result, as soon as the troops settled, Seshanbiao received an order from the front command to immediately enter combat mode and be sure to replace the Pakistani army in besieging Srinagar before 8 o'clock on the 3rd Islamabad time. Although the hit does not explicitly mention that the wounded army must immediately attack Srinagar, according to Sai Zhibiao's understanding, after besieging Srinagar, the army will soon be engaged in battle.

The problem now is that Sai Zhibiao has to bring in other troops.

All night, Sai Shan Biao was dealing with this matter.

In order to get the artillery brigade, logistics brigade, and aviation brigade to Srinagar in the early morning of the 3rd, Sai Zhibiao not only sent out all the engineering units of the army, but also flew back and forth between the front line and the rear by Huihui.

The reality is always more severe than expected.

The main problem facing Kashmir is that the vast majority of roads and bridges in Kashmir have less than a tonne capacity. Although the combat weight of most of the main battle equipment is less than a ton, a lot of support equipment weighs more than a ton. In the case of the power supply units assigned to the armoured battalions, the total mass of the main part, that is, the power compartment of the fusion reactor, is more than a ton. The problem of the highway can be solved, and the problem can be solved by reducing the degree of exercise, and sending engineering troops, including Pakistan's engineering troops, to repair the road. The key is the bridges, although there are not many rivers in the western part of Kashmir, the terrain is very complex and full of valleys. The way of erecting pontoon bridges is certainly not useful, and the only way to let the engineers strengthen the bridge, and in some places even to temporarily build engineering bridges.

After grasping the actual situation, Sai Shanbiao did not bother to make any more efforts.

After returning to the army headquarters, Sai Zhibiao contacted the front-line command headquarters and asked to provide the army with a new set of power supply equipment as soon as possible to solve the power supply problem of the front-line troops.

The commander personally asked for help, indicating that the problem was very serious.

Yuan Chenhao did not dare to delay in the slightest, and in the evening of the same day, he dispatched a group of local fighters to send the new power supply equipment that was originally only provided to the Airborne Forces and the Strategic Reaction Force to Srinagar.

The so-called "new power supply equipment" actually reduces the overall quality by reducing the output power and the number of interfaces, so that it can be transported by air by tactical transport aircraft, or accompanied by rapid assault troops. Compared with the power supply equipment of the heavy armored army, the support capacity of the new power supply equipment has been reduced by more than 70 percent, and a set of equipment can support one armored battalion or one catty at most. Artillery battalion.

Fortunately, because the battle loss rate of the Airborne Forces is higher than that of ordinary troops, the army has dozens of sets in reserve.

After obtaining the most important power supply equipment, Sai Zhibiao immediately asked the artillery brigade and the logistics department to abandon the power supply equipment that could not be taken away, and rushed to the front line as quickly as possible. After the combat units that arrived in the early stage had built temporary take-off and landing fields, the army's aviation brigade began to transport combat materials to the front-line combat units.

I have to admit that the military-affiliated aviation brigade played a very key role.

According to the normal configuration, a heavy armored army like the army does not have an independent aviation brigade, and when there is a combat need, the army aviation will dispatch aviation units. Taking into account the actual situation on the battlefield, when deploying combat troops, Pei Chengyi concentrated the aviation units that originally belonged to the leading army and the army and formed an independent aviation brigade of the drill army. The importance of airlift forces for mountain combat units has proven to be very significant.

Before dawn on the 3rd, the wounded army began to exchange guards with the Pakistani army besieging Srinagar.

Because the ammunition and supplies were mainly replenished by air, and the Pakistani army that was about to go south did not want to take away the remaining ammunition, Sai Zhibiao found the front-line commander of the Pakistani army before dawn and asked the Pakistani army to finally withdraw the artillery and use up all the remaining shells before retreating.

Large-scale shelling began at 6 o'clock on the 3rd.

Although the Indian army holding on to Srinagar showed an abnormal situation outside, under the suppression of artillery fire, the Indian army gave up the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity of the change of defense of the Chinese and Pakistani troops to launch a counterattack.

By the time the artillery bombardment was high, the Sovian army had already entered the Pakistani position.

It was only at this time that Sai Zhibiao received a battle order from Yuan Chenhao, and the wounded army continued to besiege Srinagar, unless the Indian army launched a large-scale counterattack, otherwise the army could only attack after receiving the order.

This is undoubtedly good news for Sai Shanbiao.

In the case of relying only on the aviation brigade, the army can obtain the most Dankou stewed combat materials every day. For defensive operations, it is enough to persuade tons of combat materials, but for offensive operations, the stewed materials cannot even meet the requirements of firepower preparation in the early stage. In other words, Sai Biao also needs enough time to stock up on war supplies.

There is no need to take the initiative to attack, the main task of the wounded army is to expand the rear positions.

While the engineering corps of the still army was busy building artillery positions, material warehouses, and barracks, the leading army and the corps arrived in Wauzirabad on the morning of the 3rd.

Pei Chengyi personally met with Lieutenant General Cai Suikang and Major General Belly Qi.

Both the leading army and the army are strategic reaction forces, that is, the main forces that make up the army of the republic. Compared with the heavily armored forces, the strategic reaction force is characterized by its excellent campaign and strategic mobility capabilities. Although the strategic reaction forces also have a large amount of main battle equipment, and the quality of their armored forces is not inferior to that of their armored units, but the quantity is on the small side, the logistical support system of the strategic reaction forces is more refined, and the proportion is even greater. As a result, under the same circumstances, the strategic response force has fewer combatants. The ability to sustain and fight independently should be given greater prominence. After discussing the battlefield situation with the two army commanders, Pei Chengyi personally issued the battle order.

The lead army stayed in Wazirabad for only two hours, and when the troops had finished replenishing, they immediately left for Lahore. Because the Pakistani army did not arrange a location for the introduction of troops for the time being, on the night of the 2nd, Pei Chengyi sent engineers stationed in Pakistan to Lahore to build a temporary camp in the southern suburbs of Lahore.

What gave Pei Chengyi a bit of a headache was that the Pakistani army did not welcome the introduction of troops.

Although according to the agreement of the China-Pakistan alliance, after the two countries enter a state of war, the Republican ** team will carry out combat missions in Pakistan without harming Pakistan's national security, and the army will give the necessary cooperation, but the Pakistani generals agreed that the army should go to Kashmir and assist the army to attack Srinagar, rather than build defensive positions in Punjab.

No matter what, Pei Chengyi did not let the army delay time. Soon after the army was introduced, it left Wazirabad and hurried further south to Sahiwal.

Similar to the problems encountered in the introduction of troops, the main trouble of the army was that it did not have a place to be stationed, and it did not consult with the Pakistani army about the work of delineating the defense area.

After sending off Major General Beiqi, Pei Chengyi contacted the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army, hoping that the Pakistani army could provide a garrison for the army and let the army build a second line of defense in the rear of the Pakistani army.

At this time, the General Staff of the Pakistani Army also saw the movement of the Indian army and knew that the Indian army was about to attack.

With the republic's willingness to help, the Pakistani army did not refuse Pei Chengyi's request.

Of course, for the 2 Strategic Reaction Forces, time is running out.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Pei Chengyi received the latest report from the Military Intelligence Bureau that the Indian troops assembled in the area east of Lahore had entered an offensive position and were expected to attack within an hour of the next few hours.

This time, Pei Chengyi did not leave the Pakistani army.

After transferring the information to the General Staff of the Pakistani Army, Pei Chengyi contacted the Chief of the General Staff of the Pakistani Army again and issued a warning in the clearest way.

"How's it going?"

"Attention has been paid to it, and the Pakistani army will enter defensive positions this evening." Pei Chengyi let out a sigh and let Yuan Chenhao sit down. "The problem of the Pakistani army is also more prominent, and now the main force of the Pakistani army is in Kashmir, and it can only reach Lahore in three days at the earliest. There is no doubt that the Indian army is aware of the deployment of the Pakistani army and knows that it is impossible for the Pakistani army to strengthen the defenses of Lahore before it launches an offensive. According to my estimates, the Indian army will attack tomorrow morning, or before dawn tomorrow at the latest

"It's too urgent, and the army will definitely be in big trouble."

Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and said: "What I'm worried about is not that the leading army and the army captured a few Indian soldiers who crossed the border to reconnoiter in the early hours of this morning, and the results of the interrogation are not much different from what we guessed, and it is the reserve deployed in the east of Lahore, not the main force of the Indian army." Although the defense of the Pakistani army is not in place, with Cai Suikang's ability to disagree with his stomach, the army and the army will definitely seize the opportunity to counterattack, rather than passive defense. ”

"Then what you're worried about is,"

"Sai Handle Biao." Pei Chengyi glanced at his deputy and said, "Until now, the army has not been ready to attack. According to the latest information provided by Sai Zhibiao, it will take three days for the wounded army to stock up on sufficient combat materials

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly and said, "Even if the two armies can't defeat Srinagar, the impact is not very great

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "In terms of the overall battle situation, the importance of attacking Srinagar is not below holding Lahore. As long as the army defeated Srinagar, the Indian army had to retreat to the Bernihar Pass. In other words, south of the Bernnihal Pass, there is no longer a suitable place for defense. As long as the Indian army retreats from Srinagar, it is almost impossible to hold the Bernihar Pass, and Han Shanbiao will not let the Indian army retreat to the Bernnihal Pass. The Sovian Army has an independent aviation brigade, and before taking Srinagar, Sai Zhibiao will occupy the Bernihar Pass in a low-altitude assault to encircle the Indian army north and open the door to the northwest of India. As long as the wounded army crosses the Bernihal Pass, the Indian offensive in the direction of Lahore will be crushed without a fight

Yuan Chenhao reacted violently, and at the same time showed a look of great admiration.

"We must avoid a tug-of-war with the Indian army inside Pakistan, and the worse the fight, the greater the losses for Pakistan. Besides, our army's combat materials are also very tight, and we are not allowed to fight a war of attrition with the Indian army. Whether the army can successfully defeat Srinagar and capture the Bernihar Pass is related to the situation on the battlefield on the Western Front Pei Chengyi rubbed his forehead and said, "You immediately contact the Air Force to see if you can arrange one more tactical airlift tonight, and if you can arrange one more airdrop, you must make every effort to provide enough combat materials for the wounded army, so that Sai Zhibiao can attack twenty-four hours after the Indian army attacks, that is, in the early morning of the fourth day." ”

"I'll arrange it right away, is there anything else?"

Pei Chengyi shook his head and said, "You are on duty at night, and after the battle starts, come and call me immediately."

Yuan Chenhao didn't say anything, turned around and left Pei Chengyi's office.

After lying on the sand, Pei Chengyi never fell asleep.

The game has been laid out, and the next step is to see how the opponent lays the first piece.
