The five armed forces put on a posture and did not attract the attention of the Indian authorities. On the contrary, it has received great attention from Mubixi.

In the eyes of important politicians in the United States, Pei Chengyi dispatched the flying army, one of the three ace armies of the Republic, to attack Bhopal, and India was basically helpless. Not only did Duchway not give up hope, but he also encouraged the president to send a third convoy of arms supplies to India as soon as possible, which was closely related to his arrangements in Bhopal.

In the final analysis, Du Qiwei still has a glimmer of hope for India.

It is not India's hope of victory over China, but the hope of making China pay a more price in India.

At this point in the war, Duchway suffered a lot of losses. I also summed up a lot of experience. Although he is not the commander of the Indian army, as the top military adviser of the Indian army, Du Qiwei has been half a step behind in the game with Pei Chengyi. In the beginning. Du Qiwei was not convinced, he had been thinking about Pei Chengyi and guessing Pei Chengyi's battle intentions. After hitting a wall a few times, Dudgway recognized the reality and changed his way of thinking. Since he can't cross it, he can only move forward and try his best to slow down Pei Chengyi's pace and make Pei Chengyi pay a greater price for achieving his goal.

Choosing the right method, Duchway also regained his self-confidence.

Because the Indian top brass is overly concerned about New Delhi. So there is a serious lack of attention to Bhopal. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duchway used Bhopal as a testing ground for new tactical ideas.

To hold Bhopal, Duchway did three things. One is to warn the Indian authorities. The attention of Rurajapani and Gujarad attracted more reinforcements for Bhopal. The second is to send military advisers to Bhopal to assist the Indian army in building defensive positions and strengthening Bhopal's defenses. The third is to take advantage of the relationship between the Pentagon and the news media to send a group of reporters who are not afraid of death to Bhopal to report on the spot.

These three things fully reflect Du Qiwei's ability.

At the behest of Rurajapani, Gujarad arranged liaison officers, who were responsible for communicating with the US advisers and issuing operational orders to the Indian troops in the direction of Bhopal. In other words, Duchway can directly command the Indian army in Bhopal through his military adviser in India. It seems that Duchway did not trust Duchway very much, and Gujarad kept a hand in carrying out Rurajapani's orders, and only handed over the command of the Bhopal defenders to Duchway, and the Indian troops reinforcing Bhopal remained under the direct command of the Indian Army Command.

Although there is a gap with what you want. But Dudgway should also be content.

As U.S. Secretary of Defense, even if Du Qiwei is the only one who has fought against Split Chengyi on the battlefield. And there is no completely defeated general, he is also a beautiful **, not an Indian soldier. If you take into account Duchway's political status, it is already very valuable for Rurajapani to make some Indian troops obey his orders.

The work of building defensive positions is more important. It can even be said that it is the key to whether or not Bhopal can be held.

Du Qiwei never overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Indian army, and if the Indian army had enough combat effectiveness, the war would not have been fought like this. For units with low combat effectiveness, especially poor mobility, the best way to defeat the opponent is to rely on strong defensive positions. The construction of defensive positions has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the troops, only with manpower. There is no doubt that there is no shortage of human resources in the Indian army.

In fact, at first, Duchway didn't quite understand how to build a defensive position.

This cannot be blamed on him, in addition to encountering a strong opponent on the battlefield on the peninsula, the US military has fought invincible opponents all over the world, and even if it encountered trouble in the Iranian war, it was not defeated by the Iranian army, but by the Iranian people. As one of the most powerful armies in the world, the U.S. military has always believed in offense. Its main tactic is also offensive. While no one denies the defense capabilities of the US military, especially the US Army, in general. The U.S. Army's defense capability is built on strong air support and artillery support. If it has air supremacy and firepower superiority, any unit can fight a defensive battle. In other words. The U.S. military had little experience in building defensive positions. Even many troops did not know how to build defensive positions. Don't say anything else. In the Peninsular War. If the U.S. Army knows how to build defensive positions, the 2nd Marine Division will definitely be able to hold out at Battle Lake and Changjin Lake for a few more days and drag down the 4th Army.

Not knowing how to build a defensive position does not mean that you don't know how to learn.

Although he did not personally go to Wulao to understand the defensive position of the airborne troops, according to Du Qiwei's speculation, the defensive position of the airborne brigade mainly relied on the underground tunnel system, just like the volunteers in Shangganling back then. Use the earth as the best shield.

In the first battle of Ranchi, the airborne brigade, which had only many officers and soldiers, not only held out for several days without reinforcements, but also blocked hundreds of times the enemy, creating an amazing record of destroying nearly 10,000 enemies. In addition to the high will to fight, the tenacious fighting style, and the high quality of individual soldiers, the defensive position of the airborne brigade played a decisive role.

Unlike the Peninsular War, Duchway was finally able to study the defensive positions of the Airborne Fighter Brigade properly.

After learning from the experience of the Korean Peninsula War. The United States has invested heavily in the development of reconnaissance satellites specially designed to detect underground defense systems. Although the satellite was nominally used to search for underground nuclear facilities in certain rogue states

“。 The Western world has provided evidence of sanctions. But it is also used to map and map defensive positions"":. This is because the reconnaissance satellite was launched in the first year of the year. Therefore, surveying and mapping the defensive positions of the Airborne Nephew Brigade in Ranchi was its first important task.

The results shocked Dudgway. Airborne thug Shao Brigade.

An important part of the entire defensive position is underground, and key facilities are buried about a meter underground. This depth can only be dealt with with ground-penetrating bombs that are designed to deal with underground nuclear facilities. Even the underground tunnel system is meters deep, enough to resist all kinds of large-caliber artillery shells and ordinary aerial bombs of the lower level of the thug. What's more. Each underground tunnel is not only reinforced with high-strength composite materials, but also has two main and secondary passages, and the defensive positions of the trade brigade are set up every old meter. Unless tactical nuclear weapons with the ability to penetrate the ground are used, it is necessary to drop at least 10,000 tons of ammunition, and the hit rate of the strike must not be lower than that of the fire.

With such a strong defensive position, it is normal for hundreds of thousands of Indian troops to be helpless against the strong brigade of airborne thugs.

For Dugway, this was an invaluable experience.

Ask the intelligence analyst to make a few copies of the drawings that have been surveyed. Dudgway gave one of them to Stark, asking Stark to organize a military advisor to study as soon as possible.

The battle in Edava was the first time that the experience that the US military had just learned was tested in actual combat.

There is no doubt that Duchway has finally found a way to restrain the offensive edge of the Chinese army.

The so-called attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son is probably what it means.

It's just that Du Qiwei didn't rejoice in the spike.

When the construction of the defensive positions of Bhopal began. Duchway realized that it was difficult to turn Bhopal into a defensive position like the Airborne Brigade with manpower alone, for the simple reason that the amount of work was too large!

Just because you're okay in Edawao doesn't mean you don't have a problem in Bhopal.

Edawa's strength density is more than twice that of Bhopal, which is equivalent to o times more manpower. In the case of sufficient manpower, the problem of excessive engineering volume has not been exposed.

If there is not enough manpower, the problem is very obvious.

Of course, the United States is not without relevant intelligence, but it has not attracted the attention of the Pentagon. As early as after the Peninsular War, uranium obtained a list of equipment purchases for the Chinese army. Among them, there are many portable engineering equipment. Because engineering equipment is not a combat weapon, not only has it not attracted the attention of the Pentagon, but even the fourth has not paid much attention to it. That extremely important piece of information was locked up in the database for several years, and it was only when Du Qiwei was in trouble that it was turned over by the fourth data administrator and sent to the Minister of Defense.

Finding a problem does not mean that a solution has been found.

Those very advanced portable electric engineering equipment are not available in India, not even in the United States. What made Du Qiwei even more troublesome was that even if he started developing it immediately, it would not be too late to send it to India.

In desperation, Du Qiwei could only choose the simplest and most direct way. That is, to concentrate on building defensive positions in the northeast direction of Bhopal, and leave it alone in other directions for the time being. Because the northeast direction is the most vulnerable direction, according to Du Qiwei's judgment, if Pei Chengyi intends to capture Bhopal as soon as possible, he will attack from the northeast. Although Du Qiwei is not sure whether Pei Chengyi will change the direction of attack after encountering a setback, according to what he knows about Pei Chengyi, the opponent will not try many times, and most of them will find another way.

I have to admit that Du Qiwei passed Pei Chengyi this time.

Of course, just building a strong defensive array will not solve the problem, because Pei Chengyi has a special bomb in his hand that is enough to destroy any defensive position.

The third thing Du Qiwei did was to get Pei Chengyi to give up the special bomb.

Although the squadron is not responsible for killing journalists in the war, the Chinese government certainly does not dare to use weapons of mass destruction in urban assault in front of journalists from all over the world.

This grid had an immediate effect. Pei Chengyi really did not use weapons of mass destruction.

As the summoned army divided his troops to encircle Bhopal, Duchway realized that his defensive tactics had had worked, and Pei Chengyi chose to encircle the point to send reinforcements when it was hopeless to storm Bhopal, and pointed the finger at the reinforcements.

With Du Qiwei's ability, it is impossible not to guess Pei Chengyi's intentions.

Not to mention annihilating the reinforcements, as long as the reinforcements are blocked outside the city of Bhopal, the morale of the Bhopal defenders can be dealt a heavy blow, and then trying to blow up the Bhopal Defense Command can collapse the entire Bhopal defenders. At this point, Du Qiwei has little chance of winning, because there is too much time delayed in the front, so Pei Chengyi will definitely let the Nu army attack from multiple directions and completely break the will of the Bhopal defenders to resist. At that time, even if the defenders were still holding out, because the defensive positions in other directions were not strong enough, the Nu army could easily take most of Bhopal. As long as he controls the main lines of communication, Pei Chengyi will be able to abandon the remnants of the Indian army in Bhopal and let the main force advance west through Bhopal.

Pei Xiao must not be allowed to succeed, and reinforcements must be allowed to reach Bhopal. Even if only a thug division enters Bhopal, it can cheer up the defenders.

The problem is that the reinforcements are facing the most powerful Worm Armored Brigade and the most balanced Porridge Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Nu Army.

Although the trade army is not like the concave army, each combat brigade is strengthened, but as a heavy armored army, Zhang Jun's field combat capability, especially the battle capability of the large army, is far above that of the strategic reaction army. Any combat brigade has an armored force equivalent to an ordinary strategic response force, and can easily take out more than the old number of Indian infantry in field battles. What's worse is that. The reinforcements of the Indian army were sent out in batches, so they could only arrive in batches. If the reinforcements were stopped, Pei Chengyi would definitely not hesitate to let the two combat brigades of the summoning army take the initiative to attack. He even pushed the battle line hundreds of kilometers away in one go, completely cutting off the Indian army's attempt to reinforce Bhopal. If you let the reinforcements continue to advance, it will undoubtedly be a refueling tactic, and you will only be broken by the opponent individually. Even if the reinforcements in front of them were allowed to slow down the march, the results would not be much better, because the two combat brigades of the Nu army had extremely strong tactical assault capabilities. Won't slow down your opponent's attack because they're slow.

What's next?

This is a very critical problem and cannot be solved well. The Indian army in Bhopal did not hold out for long.

Du Qiwei had a headache, because he was now, not only Pei Chengyi, but also the Chinese Army.

Attack Bhopal with just one army.

The question is, how to solve the problem

Duchway has not been able to find a suitable solution, so he has not rushed to adjust his tactics.

The move shows that Duchway is a little weak-hearted. Although in this confrontation, Duchway seized the opportunity. also made the right decision several times in a row, which made Pei Chengyi miss several catties and opportunities, but Du Qiwei still lacked confidence in himself, believing that as long as one mistake, even the smallest mistake, could give Pei Chengyi a chance to turn over.

It was the fear of making mistakes that made the choice of inaction.

In the case at the time, this was also the most ideal choice, but this choice did not solve the problem, but only delayed the time for the problem to explode.

The only consolation to Duchway is that Pei Chengyi still has no holes in Bhopal's defenses.

For Pei Chengyi, who was far away on the other side of the world, he really didn't notice the problems of the Indian army.

After adopting Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi focused on encirclement and reinforcement. Comparatively speaking, this is the most conservative of the tactics that can be employed. Although many people later thought that Pei Chengyi was too careless. There was no loophole in the Indian army in time, but with the war situation at that time, under the unclear situation, Pei Chengyi chose a safe tactic and it was understandable. The most important thing is that Pei Chengyi has no capital in his hands that can be wasted. In the case of only one army of thugs. Even if you take a wrong step, you can't afford the results. With Pei Chengyi's character, he will not consider only one tactic. In fact, when adopting Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi was ready to do a lot of things. Among other things, he had the 1st Cable Armored Brigade in charge of the frontal attack in turns, and instead of participating in all offensive battles, he was preparing for the unexpected that might arise. With the Witch Army's battlefield operational capabilities, even if there is no battle reserve, it can adjust its tactics in time and react to new situations. More importantly, Pei Chengyi had enough long-range support forces in his hands, and he did not let tactical aviation and army aviation support the assault troops, just to make some preparations for the attack on Bopar.

Of course, after making a choice, Pei Chengyi will not hesitate.

After the 1st Worm Armored Brigade and the 1st Porridge Mechanized Infantry Brigade were deployed in the early morning of the day, Pei Chengyi crossed Tang Yinglong and directly issued combat orders to the two brigades, demanding that the outer encirclement be stabilized. Take aggressive and decisive action and never allow reinforcements to reach Bhopal. In order to reassure the two brigade commanders, Pei Chengyi also made a guarantee that all the airlift forces of the Army Aviation would be mobilized to provide material support for the two brigades.

With the assurances of the commander-in-chief of the front, the 2 brigade commanders had nothing to worry about.

In fact, the 2 brigade commanders were also more willing to fight in the field than to kill time in front of the enemy's defensive positions. Although the He Army is the most suitable heavy armored army for attacking fortifications, like the strategic response army, the officers and men of the heavy armored army also like to fight the enemy without too many restrictions. There is no doubt that the field is the least restricted.

With the strength of 2 concurrents, it was a piece of cake to defeat the Indian reinforcements on the open plains.

Before dawn, after the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade left a battalion of fighters and non-combatant units to guard the three-way junction south of Bhopal, the other combat battalions all moved south and took the lead in attacking the two Indian infantry divisions crossing the Narmoda River.

Like the 1st Porridge Mechanized Infantry Brigade, the 3rd Armored Brigade left only a combat battalion of thugs and a non-combat unit of Sehr, and the main force all attacked westward. Take on the 2 Indian infantry divisions that are about to arrive.

At this time, Pei Chengyi didn't know that the 2 brigades that took the initiative to attack would give him a surprise.
