Qiwei's warning made Gujarad suddenly wake up. After putting down the phone, the chief of staff of the Indian Army immediately gave the order to attack the Bhopal Army.

Although in a few hours, the dawn will be on the battlefield, and with the advance of Army Group Bhopal, it is impossible to reach Murwara before dawn. But Gujarad can't do that much anymore. A delay of a few more hours meant that Army Group Bhopal would have to march during the day. Or wait until the next night, whatever the case may be. It was a disaster for Army Group Bhopal, which had a main division.

The question is, is it too late?

When Gujarad gave the order to attack. The first assault units of the Air Assault Brigade have already left Manigpur.

Half an hour ago, Pei Chengyi took over the tactical command from Yuan Chenhao's hands and began to issue combat orders to each brigade-level combat individual.

Codenamed "Snissor-beaked Crocodile", the first round of campaign operations with the main task of annihilating the Indian Army's Bhopal Army Group officially began.

A closer look at the tactics shows nothing new.

Dispatching air assault troops first to cut off the enemy's retreat is the basic tactic of encirclement and annihilation, and as long as the commander is confident enough to take out the enemy in the encirclement, he will tighten his pockets at the first opportunity.

The mobility of the old brigade in the air, before dawn. Army Group Bhopal will have no way back.

It seems that he was very satisfied with this campaign operation. Or let Yuan Chenhao serve as the tactical commander all the time, so Pei Chengyi was a little reluctant, since the start of the war, Pei Chengyi stood in the position of commander-in-chief for the first time, and asked Yuan Chenhao to assist him in tactical command as deputy commander-in-chief.

As soon as the net received the news that the Air Assault Brigade had arrived from Shahpur, the AWACS aircraft that was on the task of monitoring the battlefield came to the news that Army Group Bhopal had left Damo and was advancing towards Berwala.

This is not only a variable, but also expected by Pei Chengyi.

As long as Duchway is still working, Army Group Bhopal will have to leave Damo sooner or later, and it will definitely not stay for too long in a place where there is no village in front and no store in the back.

Just when Yuan Chenhao thought that Pei Chengyi was going to let the Digong Armored Assault Brigade hold out in Murwara for a while, Pei Chengyi gave the opposite order. After a limited intervening attack by the 7th Armoured Assault Brigade at Murwara, it was necessary to leave Murwara before dawn, retreat to Mehr to the north, and establish a defensive position at Mehr, no matter what the cost, to hold out at Mehr until the sunset before retreating to Sedena further north.

This adjustment somewhat surprised Yuan Chenhao.

The Bhopal Army Group left Damo "ahead of schedule", and it stands to reason that the Digong Panzer Assault Brigade should hold out in Murvarado for a while, and then withdraw while retreating. Lead the enemy to the defensive positions of Mehr.

After careful consideration, Yuan Chenhao understood Pei Chengyi's intentions.

If the 7th Armored Brigade holds out too long in Murwara. The Indian commander's current logistical supply channel has been cut off by the air raiders and brigades. There is a high probability that Army Group Bhopal will stop advancing and turn the assault into a breakout battle. Because the old air assault brigade had not yet been able to take Sagar, it was difficult to hold back the retreating Bhopal Army. In order to buy enough time for the old air assault brigade, the Lenai armored assault brigade could only be allowed to retreat as soon as possible. Of course. Nor should we withdraw too quickly, otherwise we will expose a tactical attempt to lure the enemy deeper.

In addition to allowing the operation of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade to be adjusted, Pei Chengyi also spared the hand of not immediately letting the Air Force blow up the railway and highway bridges in the upper reaches of the Song River on the Jodhanagpur Plateau. Although the Air Assault Brigade had cut off the ground supply route from Bhopal to Damo after the capture of Shahpur, the Indian army had long been prepared as long as Army Group Bhopal could quickly capture Murwara. You will be able to get war materiel from the southeast, that is, from Raipur, the province of Chhattisgarh. Exactly. Only then did the Indian army dare to attack Murwara without hesitation when the logistics support line could be cut off by the air assault force at any time.

Because the battlefield is located in the heart of India, in addition to the railways and roads marked on military maps. There are also many dirt roads that are not marked on the map, so it is almost impossible to completely cut off the logistics supply lines of the Indian army. Even if you send a few pounds more. The air assault brigade will not be able to do it either. Pei Chengyi could only lower the tactical requirements and prevent the Indian army from obtaining sufficient combat materials by striking the main lines of communication. In this way, in addition to sending the Air Assault Brigade to occupy several military points. Destruction of transport infrastructure in other directions. can achieve the goal.

In fact, Pei Chengyi overestimated the Indian army.

Influenced by the occupation of Shahpur by the old brigade of the air assault. Army Group Bhopal did not advance in full force until dawn, and its vanguard failed to reach Murwara!

Now, here's the problem.

Will the 1st Armoured Assault Brigade remain in Murwara, or will the fighters be withdrawn to Mehr?

After determining that the advance of the Bhopal Army Group was slow, Pei Chengyi issued another order that made people feel unbelievable: the 1st Gong Armored Assault Brigade launched an attack on the Indian army.

When giving the order for Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao endured it for a long time before he asked.

At 8 o'clock, the vanguard of the 7th Armoured Assault Brigade met the vanguard of Army Group Bhopal about a kilometre west of Murwara.

The fighting was not very intense, as both sides had very limited military input.

The mouth point took points, and the main force of the armored assault brigade arrived.

After stubborn resistance, the vanguard of Army Group Bhopal finally withstood the all-out attack of the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade and was quickly defeated and retreated westward.

Pei Chengyi did not let the No. 1 Gong Armored Assault Brigade stop, but ordered the 7th Nai Armored Assault Brigade to continue to advance westward, chasing the vanguard of the Indian army. It's just that this time Pei Chengyi emphasized one point. That is, after encountering the main force of the Indian army, and it is the main armored force of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade, it will fight at most two tactical assaults, and then it will have to retreat to Murwara.

"Ugly" Regardless of whether the field commander understands the meaning of this order, the commander-in-chief's order cannot be disobeyed.

At the old point, the Digong Armored Assault Brigade finally ran into the main armored forces of Army Group Bhopal.

The first large-scale armoured battle took place on the plains about a kilometer from Murwara, with a large number of assault brigades. Led to more than four concave ugly mouths against the four more than one of the Bhopal Army Group and persuaded many of the fat wangs.

The battle was started not by tanks, but by artillery.

The Renai Artillery Brigade took the lead in long-range suppression of the artillery group of Army Group Bhopal. This prevented the Indian artillery from participating in the battle against the 7th Armored Assault Brigade in time. As the armoured clusters of both sides approached. The 1st Assault Artillery Brigade and the 1st Concave Artillery Brigade carried out a covered artillery attack on the Indian armored group. The 1st Yan Artillery Brigade finally entered the battle and carried out a key attack on the Indian tank formation in accordance with the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance unit of the 1st Armored Assault Brigade.

This unusually ferocious shelling has had enough of the Bhopal Army.

Actual combat has once again proved that artillery has an irreplaceable ground.

The first large-scale armored battle turned into a one-sided battle.

In accordance with Pei Chengyi's order, the 1st Gong Armored Assault Brigade successfully completed the first tactical assault. However, at this time, the main force of Army Group Bhopal was in front of the 7th Armored Assault Brigade, and the density of troops was very amazing. The first round of tactical assault was not yet complete, and while the 1st Gong Armoured Assault Brigade was still collecting the fleeing Indian tanks and tanks, the second group of armored forces of Army Group Bhopal arrived on the battlefield.

Again, 4 four more and how to persuade how

If it was in the past, Pei Chengyi would definitely let the artillery make persistent efforts to kill this Indian armored force.

The problem is that attacking at this time can only scare the Bhopal Army Group to the bumper.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, Mu Chengyi asked the artillery to go down to rest temporarily, and at the same time ordered the 7th Armored Assault Brigade to gather troops as soon as possible, and after being attacked by the Indian army, immediately retreat in the direction of Murwara, and must not fall in love.

Under the circumstances, the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade was also not qualified to fight, since its armored forces were already scattered.

According to Pei Chengyi's order, the Digong Armored Assault Brigade began to retreat in the direction of Murwara after being hit by the Indian armored cluster.

Admittedly, changes are happening faster than planned.

Clause? By the time the armored assault brigade retreated to Murwara, it was already at the edge of its game.

Although the armored units of the Bhopal Army Group pursued fiercely all the way, desperately chasing the 7th Armored Assault Brigade. But the main forces of Army Group Bhopal did not rush quickly.

Not to mention Pei Chengyi, even Yuan Chenhao saw the problem.

With a round of artillery bombardment and a tactical assault, the 1st Armored Assault Brigade wiped out a quarter of the armored forces of Army Group Bhopal, and no matter how strong the capital of the Indian army was, it did not dare to consume its armored forces so quickly. What's even worse is that the 7th Armored Assault Brigade ran too fast, and the Indian armored troops failed to catch up with all their strength. It did not cause much damage to the Digong Armored Assault Brigade.

Whoever is in command of Army Group Bhopal has to be concerned.

It's not that the Indian commander has shown the trap ahead, but he is worried that he won't be able to defeat Murwara. Because the Indian army could not grasp the battlefield information in a timely and accurate manner, it could not be sure of the defense situation of Murwara, so when chasing the Digong armored assault brigade, the Indian commander must have to worry about the impact of the rapid assault on the combat effectiveness of the regiment. If the main forces are all pressed up and cannot take down Murwara in one go, the entire army group will be stopped and create opportunities for the opponent's artillery. A better option would be for the assault force to advance after the 1st Gong Armored Assault Brigade, while the main force would be ready to attack the fortified forces in the rear. Even if you need to storm Murwara, you can attack as soon as you arrive.

It is also possible that another situation may arise, that is, the Indian army is frightened and is ready to retreat.

Although Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao both preferred the former outcome, both had to consider the latter outcome.

After ordering the A Assault Brigade to block the Indian army's armored assault group in Murwara, Pei Chengyi immediately issued an order to the tactical aviation unit tasked with blowing up the bridge.

By this point, it's almost time to close the back door.

Yuan Chenhao also joined the tactical command at this time, and ordered the main force of the Air Assault Brigade to capture Sagar as soon as possible and complete the assault operation of the Bhopal Army Group.

The 3rd Knife Armored Assault Brigade blocked the Indian armored assault force at Murwara.

After the bells. The thugs used heavy guided bombs to destroy all the road bridges and railway bridges in the upper valley of the Song River.

The bigger problem is the battle in the Sagar direction.

Although the Air Assault Brigade invested the main force, it was unable to occupy Sagar on time due to the stubborn resistance of the Indian army.

Pei Chengyi immediately ordered the artillery brigade of the first station to support the air assault brigade, and did not care how many shells were used. Focused artillery bombardment of the stubbornly held positions of the Indian army.

The shelling continued until the point was pointed, and the Makuri Artillery Brigade used up the Konxu stewed shells.

The Indian positions attacked by the Air Assault Brigade were less than the old square kilometers. It's equivalent to a ton of shells per square kilometer!

Such a fierce shelling not only wiped out the stubborn Indian army, but also made the quartermaster responsible for providing logistical support for the artillery heartbroken.

Fortunately, the effort is directly proportional to the gain.

After the shelling, the assault troops of the old air assault brigade cleared the Indian positions in only half an hour.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, carrying assault troops. It was said that the VTOL transport plane did not return to Manigpur, but flew to Zhanzhi

Pei Chengyi's intention was very clear, and let the A Assault Brigade participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Bhopal Army

By the time Chouwan flew to Chamsi, the 7th Armored Assault Brigade had already left Murwara and retreated towards Mehr.

After a bitter battle, Army Group Bhopal, which had taken Murwara, did not continue to pursue the 1st Armoured Assault Brigade. Instead, it stopped again. This is also understandable, when the old thugs were in the air, they should have received the news that the bridge in the upper reaches of the Song River was blown up. Whether it is the field commander of the Indian army or the Gujarad who is in New Delhi and commands remotely, it should be clear that the Bhopal Army Group is in a dilemma with no way out.

Do you continue to attack, or do you turn around and break through?

In fact, the last thing Army Group Bhopal should do is stop.

If you choose to attack, hit Mehr. Even if you lose the ability to attack Manigpur due to heavy losses, you can break through from Mehr to Rewa in the northeast, bypass the Sedna guarded by the squadron, and then move south from Rewa to break out of the encirclement of the squadron. If they choose to break out, they should return to Damo as quickly as possible, reorganize the attacking forces, and concentrate their forces on Shahpur and Sagar, which are occupied by the Air Assault Brigade, as long as they can escape to Edawa. Basically, they escaped from the encirclement of the squadron.

Both options are 10,000 times better than standing still in Murwara.

At this time, Pei Chengyi will not be polite.

Before the 1st Armoured Assault Brigade reached Mehr, the low-altitude strike unit of the Air Assault Brigade, that is, the aircraft group, reached the skies over Murwara and focused on attacking the Indian army's armored fighting vehicles, especially the Sewang main battle tanks.

In the past, the Indian army could respond to air strikes by evacuation, concealment, camouflage, and so on, so as to avoid excessive losses to the main equipment, but this time the Indian army was not so calm. Murwara was originally a small town, and the number of buildings was smaller than that of the Indian army's tanks and fighting vehicles, and it could not accommodate the Bhopal Army Group at all, or even the three main divisions. When the group arrived, most of the main combat vehicles of the Indian army were parked on the streets, and some even parked on the side of the road outside the town, which was simply the most ideal target.

The "long whip in the air" was drawn, and the Indian army had to move if it didn't want to.

According to the records of the Indian Army Command, Gujarad ordered Army Group Bhopal to continue the offensive, but due to electronic interference, the front-line commander failed to receive an order from the Army Command, so the commander of Army Group Bhopal made a decision that could not be more wrong in a panic: the main division went to attack Mehr, and the second-line infantry division turned back to Damo.

The combat effectiveness of the Indian army is already a lot worse than that of the Republic Army, and there is still hope for dividing the troops into two?

After the current main division went north, Pei Chengyi still couldn't believe that the Indian army would make such a low-level mistake.

It wasn't until the AWACS aircraft came to the news that a second-line infantry division had left Murwara and was returning to Damo, that Pei Chengyi had to believe that the Indian commander was stupid.

With all that in mind, what else is there to bear?

After letting the Digong Armored Assault Brigade gain a firm foothold in Mehr and definitely not take a step back, Pei Chengyi let the air assault thugs lead the brigade into full action. In addition to continuing to strike at the armored units of the Indian army going north. It is also necessary to send the first combat units of the Assault Brigade to the outskirts of Dhamambi as soon as possible to complete the tactical encirclement of Army Group Bhopal. Subsequently, Pei Chengyi left the tactical command work to Yuan Chenhao, and went to make up for his sleepiness with confidence and boldness.

In fact, at this point, there really is nothing to worry about.

At the old point, the main forces of Army Group Bhopal reached the outskirts of Mehr and again exchanged fire with the 7th Armored Assault Brigade.

According to Pei Chengyi's order, the 7th Armored Assault Brigade did not retreat a single step, and with the support of the low-altitude strike unit and artillery of the Air Assault Brigade, it fought a dignified armored battle with the Indian armored unit.

With a few points, the two combat battalions of the 1st Armored Assault Brigade reached the outskirts of Damo.

Although the Indian army left 2 infantry regiments in Damo. But only second-line infantry. After the 2 combat battalions of the 7th Knife Armoured Assault Brigade stormed the town, the 2 Indian infantry regiments put up only very limited resistance. Then he surrendered to the invincible armored forces.

At this time, the second-line infantry division that had been ordered to return to Damo was still a kilometer away!

The next few said that the small combat battalion, the logistics battalion and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters remained in Zhanxi.

Of course, the focus of the battle remained in the north.

Blocked by the Digong Armored Assault Brigade. The Indian army did not retreat, but attacked desperately. There is no doubt that there is no way for the ear army to retreat, the retreat has been blocked, and if it can't take down Mehr, it can only fall in Mehr, there is no second option.

The old point is divided, according to Pei Chengyi's deployment. Yuan Chenhao gave the order to attack the 7th Armored Assault Brigade.

Not an order to go against the Bhopal Army Group. And to advance westward, the order to attack the Fatahpur Army Group, which controlled Banda.

Although the battle of the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade was a bit difficult, the 1st Armored Assault Brigade had enough ability to hold off Army Group Bhopal while relying on defensive positions. In Pei Chengyi's words, if the A Assault Brigade can't even hold Mehr, the combat effectiveness of the Armored Assault Brigade can't even be compared to the Airborne Brigade. To know. Without reinforcements, the Airborne Thug Trade Brigade faced the Third Army and held it for two nights.

It is only a matter of time before the Bhopal Army Group is completely annihilated, and the next step is to clean up the Fatahpur Army Group.
