Quick? After a few hours, feeling that the Indian army was about to arrive, he ordered the second Yunxiao to stop the attack, let the rear guard become the forward, and the forward into the rearguard, and led the assault force to leave the Peradpur in a puff of smoke, circled around the endless plain, and turned back to Mathura. 【】

After the assault force left, the first Indian armored unit reached Peradpur.

It has to be said that the assault troops withdrew in a timely manner and ran very quickly. Although the Indian armoured units learned from the defenders of Perladpur that the assault force was heading north, the reconnaissance unit sent out to pursue the assault force all the way to the Yana River, and lost the trail on the riverbank.

At this time, the assault force was advancing on the eastern bank of the Yana River towards Mathura.

It is also reasonable for the Indian army's reconnaissance unit to lose the clue.

When crossing the Yana River, Ling Yunxiao played a lot of tricks. The first is to let the troops cross the river five times, leaving many rut marks on the riverbank, so that the Indian scouts have no idea which rut marks are the last to be left, so it is impossible to infer whether the assault force is on the east bank of the Yana River or on the west bank. The second is to have the reconnaissance unit and a reinforced battalion cross the Yana River for the second time, that is, after returning to the west bank, continue to advance northward, cross the Yana River again near Gothhura and New Delhi, and finally join the main force near Mathura, thus creating the illusion that the Indian army is killing Gosi. Third, a lot of lubricating oil was sprinkled on the west bank of the Yana River, leaving signs that the troops had rested on the west bank, so that the Indian army concluded that the assault force was still on the west bank of the Yana River and would not continue to pursue eastward.

Of course, these methods were not thought of by Ling Yunxiao alone, but by his staff officers.

In fact, in the assault operation from the night of the day to the early morning of the day, the few combat staff officers brought by Ling Yunxiao played a very key role.

Before leaving the drop field, Ling Yunxiao first thought of attacking Mathura.

Pei Chengyi made it very clear that the assault force must put on a posture of attacking New Delhi, and to attack New Delhi, it must first attack Mathura. The presence of assault troops outside Mathura is sure to panic the Indian army, forcing it to concentrate its forces on Mathura.

Ling Yunxiao's judgment was not wrong, but he ignored the current situation.

After the assault force broke through the defensive line in Agra, the Indian army had already begun to assemble towards Mathura, and the Indian troops stationed in Mathura did not leave the defensive position. This move shows that the Indian army has realized that the assault force will attack Mathura, so it allows the troops in the south to go north to encircle and suppress the assault force, and make Mathura an impregnable wall. If the assault troops go to attack Mathura according to Ling Yunxiao's tactics, it will be tantamount to taking the initiative to enter the net laid by the Indian army. Although with the strength of the assault troops. It can easily break through the encirclement of the Indian army, but it will also lose the opportunity to attack New Delhi, so that the Indian army will no longer worry about the safety of New Delhi. There is no doubt that the assault forces are not able to fulfill the combat missions assigned by the commander-in-chief of the front.

In response to this situation, one of Ling Yunxiao's operational staff officers suggested that the troops move south, from the east to the south of the Indian sweep force, and then move west to attack Polladpur, southeast of Mathura. Although it is far from New Delhi and has to pass through Mathura to get to New Delhi, by attacking Paladpur, the Indian army can be led in the wrong direction, and then use the off-road mobility of the assault force to quickly return to Mathura and fight a good battle before the Indian army comes to its senses.

According to this style of play, even if Mathura cannot be defeated, it will make the Indian army tremble.

In other words, the purpose of this move is only one, and that is to let the Indian army know that the assault force can not only maneuver on the road, but also march in the field. This required the Indian army to keep the assault force out of the gates of New Delhi, not only to hold all the junctions, but also to hold all the plains. The result is clear that the Indian army will have to divide its forces to defend, and the forces that can concentrate on action will be very limited. The Indian army cannot concentrate its operations, and in addition to not being able to pose a lethal threat to the assault force, it can also provide more opportunities for the assault force. As long as a few Indian troops can be annihilated in the next battle, even if the assault force does not advance to New Delhi, the Indian army can fight with all its strength and devote more troops to deal with the assault force. That is, the assault force was able to complete the combat mission without continuing the assault on New Delhi.

Ling Yunxiao is not the kind of general who rests on his laurels, and immediately adopts the advice of the staff officer after thinking that it is more feasible.

It was precisely in this way that the assault force bypassed the Indian army's search and suppression force at night, and unknowingly circled from behind the Indian army to Peradpur, and began to attack before dawn.

Because there was no plan to take Polladpur, the battle was not fierce.

In addition to using artillery support as much as possible, what Ling Yunxiao did the most was to ask the attacking troops not to compete with the Indian army for defensive positions as much as possible, and to withdraw when they had enough, and to make every effort to reduce casualties.

Supplies can be airdropped, but the wounded cannot be sent back.

Either way, it's more important to control casualties than to kill more enemies.

Using real-time updated battlefield information, the assault force left Peradpur before Indian reinforcements arrived.

The next thing has been introduced earlier, when Ling Yunxiao led the assault force to kill Mathura, the Indian army was still looking for the assault force on the west bank of the Yana River.

Although there were indications that the assault force had moved to the east bank of the Yana River, the Indian army still focused its search on the west bank.

This is also understandable. The assault force suddenly attacked Porud, small, and proved its powerful off-road assault ability to hang from the Polladpur II: the two swamps of the road through Mathura, but the assault force most likely chose to maneuver off-road and bypass Mathura to attack New Delhi.

The distance in a straight line from Peradpur to New Delhi is less than a kilometre, and if the assault force moves north on the west bank of the Yana River, there will be endless plains ahead, without any natural obstacles. That is, if the purpose of the assault force is to attack New Delhi, it is quite possible to go directly north. In the eyes of the Indian army, the assault force left signs on both sides of the Yana River, and it is very likely that they want to steer the pursuing force in the wrong direction and create an opportunity to rush to New Delhi.

Obviously, Ling Yunxiao's hands and feet on the banks of the Yana River were a bit redundant.

Because the Yana River is not a large river, the deepest part is only 3 meters, and the water depth in the near-shore part of the bank is less than a beater's meter, so in the eyes of the Indian army, it is very likely that the assault force will march on the water, leaving no rut silver, so that the pursuing force cannot judge the correct direction of its march. In other words. Even if Ling Yunxiao does nothing on the banks of the Yana River, the Indian army will think that the assault force is killing New Delhi.

In any case, the complex battlefield environment provides the best cover for the assault troops.

The Indian army's inability to catch up with the assault troops cannot be blamed for its marching degree, mainly because the Indian army lacks effective tactical reconnaissance means and battlefield surveillance capabilities. From another point of view, if the Indian army had the tactical reconnaissance means like the republican ** team, it would not have been defeated on all fronts.

In tactical operations, the strategic intelligence provided by the United States does not work at all.

Military reconnaissance satellites only fly over the battlefield once every two hours, and each time they can only monitor the ground for a minute. Even if US intelligence analysts can find the presence of the assault force on the photos taken by reconnaissance satellites, because the assault force is always in motion, when the US intelligence analysts send the information to the Pentagon, the intelligence is outdated and does not have the value of guiding the Indian army to fight.

If you can't find an assault force, why encircle and suppress it?

The Indian army has also thought of solutions, such as sending more ground reconnaissance units and increasing the search density. The problem is that air supremacy is in the hands of the republican ** team, and electromagnetic supremacy is also in the hands of the republican ** team. After the battle began, dozens of electronic warfare planes took turns patrolling the skies over the battlefield, completely paralyzing the Indian army's radio communication system. Although electromagnetic suppression could not completely block the communications of the Indian army, at least it did not have much impact on wired communications, it was impossible for scouts to carry out reconnaissance missions with cable radios, and they could only transmit intelligence in the most primitive way.

In fact, the Indian army almost came to the assault on several occasions.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the assault to the greatest extent, Ling Yunxiao not only strengthened the reconnaissance troops, but also made the reconnaissance troops always responsible for the peripheral assault tasks during the assault operation, and used the reconnaissance troops to deal with the scouts. The effect of this deployment was remarkable, and as the troops advanced towards Peradpur, the scouts took out several Indian reconnaissance units.

The sudden disappearance of a reconnaissance unit is certainly not an abnormal thing.

The problem was that it was impossible for the Indian army to immediately see which reconnaissance unit had been attacked. That is, by the time the Indian army reacted, the assault force had already gone far.

Compared with the most primitive tactical reconnaissance means of the Indian army, the superiority of the assault force is too obvious.

From beginning to end, the assault force received real-time battlefield information support, and Shi Xuan grasped the movement of the Indian army.

When the troops crossed the Yana River and advanced towards Mathura, the clouds appeared, and the Indian army that had reached Peradpur turned north. What made him even more incredulous was that the Indian army that was moving north in the south had also turned to Peradpur, and seemed to be preparing to follow north.

Regardless of whether Ling Yunxiao figured out the situation or not, for him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The concentration of Indian troops on the west bank of the Yana River was tantamount to giving up Mathura.

Although the tens of thousands of Indian troops stationed in Mathura did not leave, for the assault troops, they were able to fight a good battle in Mathura without worries.

When it was almost noon, Ling Yunxiao asked the troops to stop and asked for airdrop supplies again.

Although according to the standards of the assault force, it is not a problem to persist in fighting for 3 days, but in Peradpur, in order to show momentum and reduce combat casualties, Ling Yunxiao did not care about ammunition consumption. Of course, the most important thing to replenish is electricity. The energy expenditure of an off-road march is quite staggering. It's about 3 times the size of a road march. In other words, a chariot that can run a fighter like a kilometer on the road can only run many kilometers in the field. For safety reasons, it is not possible to use the electrical energy in the photocell to stop and charge. According to the standard code of practice, it must be charged before the remaining 2 bars of electrical energy. Because the assault force was deep behind enemy lines, no one knew when to flee for their lives, so Ling Yunxiao raised the standard of residual electrical energy to the ship. Off-road marching also causes greater wear and tear on the vehicle's running gear, and the normal maintenance interval is greatly reduced.

With the intensity of the activity of the assault forces, stopping once a day to recuperate is already a minimum.

While waiting for the airdrop of supplies, the officers and men of the unit seized the time to recuperate.

Ling Yunxiao spoke with Pei Chengyi on the phone again, reporting on the battle ahead and the plan to attack Mathura.

Pei Chengyi did not object to the attack on Mathura, but only reminded Ling Yunxiao that the Indian army that was searching for the assault force had already passed the blade, and counting the defenders of Mathura, the Indian army on the battlefield had fallen by 10,000. If the attack on Mathura does not go well, there must be no fighting, and retreat as soon as possible. In order to make Ling Yunxiao pay attention to this issue, Pei Chengyi also mentioned that it was best for the Tianxin troops to retreat to the east. Pull the front. So that the Indian army had to disperse the second:

Even without Pei Chengyi's reminder, An Yunxiao knew that after attacking Mathura, the assault force could only advance eastward.

At the point of force, the transport aircraft group dropped the ammunition and supplies urgently needed by the assault troops.

Three hours later, the assault force left the drop site and headed for Mathura.

At this time, the main forces of the Indian army, which were used to deal with the assault force, were still advancing north on the west bank of the Yana River. In order to intercept the assault force, the Indian army gathered about the strength of the old division in Gosi, invested more than 100 reconnaissance detachments on both flanks of the defense line, and established a wired communication network along the entire defense line.

As long as the assault unit is in the field of view of the reconnaissance detachment, it can transmit information to other combat units through the line communication network.

The problem is that the assault forces did not have a commission at all.

Evening. Scouts on a pre-attack mission arrived on the outskirts of Mathura.

According to Ling Yunxiao's request, the shelling began at the old point and continued until the old point.

By the time the shelling was over, the main forces of the assault forces had already set up arrays outside Mathura, and the offensive began.

The assault force suddenly appeared in Mathura, and the first reaction of the Indian army was to hold on to Mathura, and then ordered the encirclement and suppression troops on the west bank of the Yana River to advance towards Mathura.

The question is, why did the assault give up the opportunity to march into New Delhi and attack Mathura south of Gohso?

Whatever Gujarad thinks, the assault force storming Mathura does not bode well.

Gosi was only a small town, and it was located behind the defensive line, so even if the assault force took Gosi, it would be surrounded by the defenders of Mathura. What's more, the assault troops are pestering Mathura, most likely in preparation for an attack on New Delhi, and do not really want to attack New Delhi. This judgment convinced Gujarad that the task of the assault force was to lure the enemy and allow the Indian army to send the main force of New Delhi to the south, creating an opportunity for the three armies to attack New Delhi in the north. Gosi was too close to New Delhi for the Indian army to be able to return to the defense soon. If we want to achieve the goal of luring the enemy, we must choose the battlefield farther away, so that the Indian army will not be able to return to defense in time. Without a doubt, Mathura is the most desirable option.

This judgment strengthened Gujarad's determination to annihilate the assault force.

If we don't get rid of the armored forces that are rushing to the left and right, New Delhi will never be at peace.

While Gujarad was thinking about this, Pei Chengyi was also observing the changes on the battlefield.

In fact, as early as the early morning of the first day of the day, Pei Chengyi began to strengthen the defensive line north of New Delhi, and seemed to be more worried about the three field armies stationed on the battlefield on the western front.

At first, Pei Chengyi didn't believe that the Indian army would be so stupid.

In any case, the three armies in the north pose little threat to New Delhi. If New Delhi could be defeated with 3 armies, Pei Chengyi would have taken action a long time ago, so why let the "death squads" toss in the south?

It was not until the whereabouts of the assault force were exposed in Peradpur and the Indian army was still strengthening the defensive line north of New Delhi that Pei Chengyi had to believe that the Indian army had been staring at the three armies in the north and did not regard the assault force as the main threat. Concentrating forces in the south to encircle and suppress the assault troops was also a last resort. As far as the Indian army is concerned, the top priority is to kill the assault troops in the south before the three armies in the north move south, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy on the flank.

In this case, Pei Chengyi took the countermeasure of taking the plan into account.

In the early morning of the same day, he asked the 66th Army, the Army, and the Leading Army to enter the offensive position and put on a posture to enter India.

The effect was immediate, as not only did the defenders of New Delhi concentrate to the north, but the Indian forces in the entire northwestern battlefield were put into combat mode.

Of course, it's not enough to just be pretty.

When talking to Ling Yunxiao on the phone, he learned that the assault force would attack Mathura, and Pei Chengyi did not object, precisely because the attack on Mathura allowed the Indian army to continue to make wrong judgments. In other words, if Gosi were to be attacked, it would be possible for the Indian army to believe that the assault force in the south was the main threat, and to send the corps remaining north of New Delhi to the south, more than doubling the strength of the encirclement assault force. It is already very difficult to deal with the Indian army, and with the addition of the Tian Wan Indian army, even if all the chariots of the assault force are equipped with Hot Wheels, it is unlikely to break out of the encirclement.

Pei Chengyi's purpose is only one, to continue to exert pressure so that the Indian army can only fight passively.

When the assault force attacked Mathura, only the Indian army in the south still went to encircle and suppress it, which made Pei Chengyi breathe a sigh of relief. It is almost certain that the assault force will be able to divert the Indian army and force the Indian army to move all the forces south of New Delhi. As long as Ling Yunxiao does not stop moving forward and keeps going around the battlefield, the Indian army can only follow the assault troops. According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, if the assault force moves eastward, stretches the Indian army's defense line, reduces the density of the Indian army's troops, and can even seize the opportunity to fight two small-scale annihilation battles.

The harder the assault force fights, the greater the restraining effect on the Indian army, and the greater the psychological pressure on India.

After feeling that there would be basically no problems on Ling Yunxiao's side, Pei Chengyi turned his attention to Bhopal.

The summoning army began to attack Bhopal at Yuri, when Pei Chengyi planned to fight. Playing early and late is not the key issue, how to beat Bhopal is the problem that Pei Chengyi must consider.

There is no doubt that the battle against Bhopal will not be easy.
