Xiang Yinghui said to the clan, and showed each other a little while to cook! The cigarette, slow down and simplified the seventh, "" "

"First of the People, what's going on now

"According to you, the battle went smoothly and I didn't encounter any big trouble.

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "The situation is under Pei Chengyi's control, and the progress is similar to expectations. After the Indian army's attack in the direction of Lahore was set, it will definitely launch a new attack south. The army has built a defense line from Sahival to Okara. It is expected that the Indian army will first attack Kasul, and then advance towards Bagbden. The Bar army has built a deep defense position in Bagbden. As long as the Pakistani army blocks the Indian army, the army will enter the battle, cut off the Indian army's retreat line, and launch the final annihilation war.

Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, saying, "You said this, I am a layman."

Xiang Yinghui was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"I heard you, the parties don't plan to set up a joint command center?"

"Although the war has burned into Pakistan, our army has invested two main field troops in Punjab Province, and the Indian army's offense is still weak. If it continues as it is, the Indian army will sooner or later be wiped out. According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, the party refused to make concessions on the establishment of a joint command center. He was mainly worried that the war will continue according to our wishes and that Pakistan's interests will not be guaranteed.

"Pakistan's concerns are completely understandable. Wang Yuanqing destroyed the cigarette butts and said, "The thugs are just that Pakistan has not realized that the war cannot continue as they wish. You start saying that Pei Chengyi has asked the two armies to defend Srinagar and is preparing to launch an attack in the early morning of tomorrow?"

Xiang Yinghui frowned slightly. "The wounded army has been deployed, but the logistics support work has not been kept up. Whether the attack can be launched in the early morning of tomorrow is still a question

"Try your best to give Wang Yuanqing a sigh of relief. He said, "I will communicate with the President of Pakistan as soon as possible to determine the establishment of the Joint Command. Let Pei Chengyi let go. If Srinagar can be defeated as soon as possible, Pakistan's attitude will change."

Hearing this, Xiang Yinghui showed a look of incomprehension.

Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. He said, "Before the war broke out, I said that Pakistan's biggest worry was not how much war loss would occur, but after India's defeat, Pakistan's position in South Asia and the alliance system with the Republic as the core. Everyone knows that the rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the birds were hiding all bows. Without India's threat, the importance of Kistan will inevitably be reduced. In the face of national interests, any leader's guarantee will appear pale and powerless. Besides, I will leave in two years. Will the next head of state take care of Pakistan as before? No one can say. For Pakistan, only if there is no choice, will it settle for the second best. In other words, if our army conquered Srinagar and captured the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, will Pakistan have other choices?

Hearing this, Xiang Yinghui suddenly realized it.

On the way back to the General Staff, Xiang Yinghui was thinking about one thing, that is, Pei Chengyi seemed to have guessed the head of state's thoughts long ago, so he sent the wounded army to Srinagar and took the stance of attacking Srinagar. Pei Chengyi was able to judge the situation of the war so accurately. Naturally, he would not make mistakes on major issues.

Not only Xiang Yinghui and Wang Yuanqing were close to the battle situation in Britain, but also Indian Prime Minister Rurajapani.

After the attack began, the Indian army successfully broke through Pakistan's border defense line, entered Pakistan, and finally broke through Lahore's outer defense line. He pointed at the most important military center in Pakistan. Rurajapani was very shocked. What surprised him was not the resistance the Indian army encountered on the second line of defense line outside Lahore, but the fact that the Indian army did not encounter much relief along the way after entering Pakistan.

On the surface, the army responded hastily and failed to stop the Indian army's progress.

Is this really the case?

The Pakistani army's combat effectiveness is not low. At least the Pakistani army deployed in the Lahore region is not a second-line force, nor a strategic reserve. Although the Pakistani army's strength is not as strong as the Indian army, the Pakistani army has air superiority and some firepower advantages. By building a defensive position for decades, it has enough ability to resist strong enemies several times its own. According to the estimates of the Indian General Staff, the army should resist tenaciously on the border. Force the Indian army to use the reserve team in advance to weaken the Indian army's continuous offensive ability. Finally, the Indian army's progress outside the city of Lahore can cause trouble for the Indian army, such as delaying the Indian army's advancement, from the overall effect and long-term impact, the Pakistani army should never take the initiative to retreat in the local defense war, and must fight the Indian army on the border.

Relatively speaking, Rulajapani is not very worried about the Pakistani army.

In any case, the Pakistani army has many problems. After Lahore is attacked, the Pakistani army must consider the combat operations in the direction of Kashmir, and even the safety of the capital Islamabad. If the Indian army fights decisively on the border with the Indian army in insufficient preparations, the Pakistani army will have to bear greater risks. Not to mention anything else. When the military strength is seriously inferior to the Indian army, if the Pakistani army is defeated in the decisive battle, it will be a trivial matter to lose Lahore. At that time, the Indian army's morale will be greatly boosted and they will advance rapidly. Even if they cannot defeat Islamabad.

, and can also defeat Shehupur, Gogela, and Zensedel, who are west of Lahore, and even attack all the way to Dra Ismail Khan, cutting off Pakistan's north-south communication artery in one fell swoop and cutting Pakistan in half. To this point, even if the Pakistani army is able to drive away the Indian army, its richest Punjab province will become a ruin of war. Tens of millions of Bachazhou have become war refugees. In this way, only the army can choose two, and secondly, and use space for time, give up the frontier positions, and organize defense in Lahore.

What really worried Rurajapani was the Chinese army that had entered Pakistan.

Although the logistics support work will not be able to keep up in time for short periods of time when the Chinese army and the Pakistani army are very versatile. The logistics support standards are not much different. When necessary, the Chinese army can fully utilize the Pakistani army's logistics support facilities. More importantly, the Japanese army and the army are strategic responsive forces, and the demand for logistics support is relatively low itself, and they can even fight for several days without logistics support. Including the tactical air transport capabilities of the Chinese Air Force and the Army, supporting the two armies in combat is not a big problem. If Pakistan's transportation capabilities are included, it can provide sufficient logistics support for the two armies.

In addition to the two strategic responsive troops, the wounded troops that have already arrived in Srinagar cannot be underestimated.

Although Lurajapani had not yet figured out the fundamental purpose of the front-line commander of the Chinese army to leave the puppet army in Srinagar and replace several Pakistani army divisions with not very strong combat power, Lurajapani knew that the person who commanded the Chinese army was Pei Chengyi, and also knew that Pei Chengyi had once commanded the Chinese army as a colonel staff member during the Peninsula War and defeated the US army commanded by the current US Secretary of Defense Du Qiwei. Pei Chengyi left the heavy armored army with the strongest offensive ability in Srinagar, which must have an ulterior secret.

Rurajapani first thought that the Chinese army would attack Srinagar alone.

It's just that this guess made him a little incredible.

First of all, the army's demand for logistics support far exceeds that of ordinary combat troops. As a heavy armored army, the average daily consumption of combat materials is as many as thousands of tons. The road traffic conditions in Kashmir are not ideal. Unless the Chinese Air Force and the Army Air Force concentrate tactical airlift forces, it is difficult to ensure the army's smooth attack. Secondly, the wounded army has limited troops. Although there are three combat brigades, "artillery brigades," future logistics brigades, and there are still thugs, with a size equivalent to two armored divisions or three infantry divisions of the Indian Army, before that, the Pakistani army besieged Srinagar had a total of one division and a general.

The strength exceeds 80,000, and the Indian army guarding the southern urban area of ​​Srinagar, that is, the Indian-controlled area has a division with a total force of more than 60,000. If it is a field battle, the puppet army will definitely be able to annihilate 4 Indian military divisions. The problem is that in the attack, the strength of the army can only deal with 2 Indian military divisions at most. Finally, the army's continuous combat capability cannot keep up with the logistics support and lighten the battle. Without a reserve team, the wounded army's continuous combat capability is very problematic. According to the relevant information provided by the United States, if the army launches an attack on the morning of the day, it must capture Srinagar within 3 days, otherwise the attack will be stopped due to lack of supplies.

He seemed to have no trust in the Indian generals. So when considering military issues, Rulajapani attached great importance to the opinions of the senior military adviser sent by the United States, namely Colonel Stark.

When Stark arrived, Lurajapani turned down other work arrangements.

For Rulajapani, Stark is not a stranger. As early as the second year, shortly after the conflict in southern Tibet, Duqiwei introduced Stark to Rulajapani. Although Rulajapani did not have much favor to most Americans, especially those who acted in India and usurped interests, he admired Duqiwei very much and knew that Duqiwei was a real soldier. It is precisely because of this that Rulajapani attached great importance to Stark sent by Duqiwei.

"The satellite reconnaissance report I just received Stark handed the several shocking photos and reports to Rurajapani, saying, "There are signs in all aspects that the Chinese army is organizing a comprehensive counterattack. The army leads the army to move in the direction of Lahore, and the hope of the Indian army to capture Lahore is very slim. The army deployed defensive positions on the front line of Sahival and Okara to concentrate on guarding Sahival. If the Indian army goes south, it must first capture Kasul and then fight with the army. My suggestion is to give up the combat operations to attack Kasul and launch a feint in the direction of Bagbden. Force the army on tiptoe to Sahival and the nearby Pakistani army to move south, and then set up blocking positions with Chatan on the front line of Betankod to encircle and annihilate the main combat troops of the Pakistani army heading south from Srinagar."

Rurajapani quickly looked through the photos and then frowned.

Stark's suggestion is not meaningless, it is just not worth implementing. The reason is very simple. The Indian army launched an attack in the direction of Lahore. It was not to annihilate the Pakistani army, but to restrain the main combat troops of the Chinese army. Force the Chinese army to invest more troops on the Western Front battlefield and create opportunities for counterattacks on the Eastern Front battlefield. Follow Stark's suggestion. This is not a restraining battle, but a decisive battle.

It seemed that Rulajapani was guessing what he thought. After Stark lit a cigarette, he said: "The key is Srinagar. If he can withstand the attack of the wounded army. If he can hold on to the attack of the wounded army, he will hold on for a few days in Srinagardo, no matter what the battle in the south will look like. The Chinese army will have to invest more combat forces in the Western Front battlefield. If he can defeat the attack of the puppet army and even launch a counterattack in Srinagar, he will allow the Chinese army to change the focus of the war."

Lulajapani nodded, closed the document, and said: The following is, how big is the Jin army? "My mother doubts, the wounded army is the ace armored army of the Chinese army." Stark smoked two puffs of cigarettes and said, "Although the reputation of the army is far less than that of the Third 4th Army, the 38th Army and the Depressed Army. However, as one of the only four heavy armored armies in the Chinese army, the puppet army not only participated in the Peninsula War, had rich war experience, but also had no worse equipment than the other three heavy armored armies. According to the latest information obtained, the three combat brigades of the wounded army are the Armored Brigade, the Armored Assault Brigade and the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, equipped with nearly 800 main battle tanks, more than 1,200 infantry fighting vehicles, nearly 1,200 armored vehicles of various types, and five independent

Artillery battalion; the three support rates are the logistics brigade, the artillery brigade and the aviation brigade. Among them, the artillery brigade has nine artillery battalions, with more than 200 heavy electromagnetic guns, and the aviation brigade has six kilograms. Tactical air operations, equipped with more than 200 vertical take-off and landing tactical transport aircraft. The comprehensive combat capability of the wounded army is far above the guided army and the prosperous army, and its attack capability exceeds that of the general strategic reactive army. Of course, based on the current situation, the biggest problem of the wounded army is the constraints on logistics support by transportation infrastructure. Our estimates are still the same as before. In the absence of a solution to the logistics support problem, the offensive operation of the wounded army will last for up to three days. If Srinagar cannot be defeated within three days, we have to find another plan."

"Will the Chinese army attack Srinagar with all its might?

Stark hesitated for a moment and said, "The battle situation is clear, I am 100% sure.

Rurajapani nodded and said, "As you said, if the Bi army cannot defeat Srinagar or cannot defeat Srinagar within three days, what kind of adjustment will the Chinese army commander make?"

"There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi's only choice is to increase his troops

Rurajapani frowned and signaled Stark to speak more in detail.

"There is one thing we cannot ignore. That is, among the three airborne troops of the Chinese army, only the occupying army was in Siliguri. The old army that had attacked Sikkim had withdrawn. The Gu army has not appeared on the battlefield so far. Stark breathed a sigh of relief. He destroyed the cigarette butt and said, "Mom Yong doubted that Pei Chengyi is a very powerful general and is particularly good at attacking. By this time, he left two of the three airborne troops in the rear and must have some ideas. According to my guess, Pei Chengyi is very likely to see through the Indian army's preparations in the east.

The attempt to launch a strategic offensive on the front battlefield may even be judged that the Indian army will use Bangladesh. Let’s imagine what if the Indian army enters Bangladesh, what should Pei Chengyi do? From another perspective, if I were Pei Chengyi, I would use the remaining two airborne troops without hesitation to cut off the Indian army's retreat route, and then use the Hongjun who had reached eastern India to block the Indian army's advancement path. Fight an annihilation battle in Bangladesh. Although this has a great impact, the gains are greater.

"In other words, we must let Pei Chengyi use the airborne army on the Western Front battlefield.

Stark nodded and said, "Without the airborne army, Pei Chengyi is definitely not sure to block the Indian army in Bangladesh. In order to ensure that the attack on the Eastern Front battlefield can proceed smoothly, Ji Chengyi must be put into the airborne army as soon as possible. The only option is to defend Srinagar to the end, the better the longer you defend, the better.

Rurajapani pondered for a while and said, "How many troops are needed to achieve this goal?

The thug depends on whether the ultimate goal is OK

Rulajapani was stunned for a moment, and seemed not to react.

"If you only need to defend Srinagar before launching an attack on the Eastern Front, you only need to invest five divisions at most. When the Chinese army attacked Srinagar, they launched a limited counterattack in the south. The restrained army's attack speed forced Pei Chengyi to join the airborne army. If the purpose is greater, such as if it can still defend Srinagar after the airborne army joins the war, then you must assemble ten to fifteen divisions in the direction of Srinagar as soon as possible, and launch a fierce attack before the airborne army joins the war, forcing the wounded army to give up the attack on Srinagar. At the same time, it is forced Pei Chengyi to invest more strategic reserves. Of course, if the ultimate goal is not only to defend Srinagar,

We must also launch a strategic counterattack. At least thirty divisions must be invested. We must strive to annihilate the genocide entrenched in Srinagar as fast as possible, and then siege the airborne army that is coming to reinforce. The problem is that Pei Chengyi is likely to adjust the combat deployment according to changes in the battle situation, and the strategic maneuverability of the airborne army cannot be ignored. Therefore, I suggest that it is best to deploy according to the second purpose, first invest ten to fifteen divisions of troops. It puts pressure on the injured army, and at the same time, it does not make Pei Chengyi thinks that attacking Srinagar is an action that is not worth the loss, so that it can use the airborne army. After the attack on the Eastern Front battlefield begins, consider whether to launch a counterattack in the direction of Srinagar.

After hearing Stark's words, Rurajapani began to ponder.

It has to be admitted that Stark is a professional soldier. Although as an American, he should serve the national interests, Stark provides Rulajapani with the best advice on military issues without reservation. From another perspective, Stark is deeply influenced by Duchway. Not only has he inherited Duchway's style in military talent, but he is also very similar to Duchway in behavior.

It is precisely because Rurajapani trusts this American military adviser very much.

As Stark's analysis, the Indian army must defend Srinagar, and have to let Pei Chengyi use the strategic reserve team in Srinagar!
