The arrival of the field army on the Western Front is definitely unfair.

According to the original war plan, after the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, it was time to launch a decisive battle with the main purpose of attacking New Delhi on the Western Front. When arranging combat tasks, Pei Chengyi also clearly mentioned that during the decisive battle on the Western Front, the Jian Army, the Blink Army and the Induction Army were the absolute main forces, and the field troops transferred from the Eastern Front battlefield fought the auxiliary attack. It was precisely because of this that the three commanders happily took their troops to the Western Front battlefield. After waiting for a month, not only did the three commanders find that their hopes were vain, but even the officers and soldiers of the rank army thought that the front commander had fooled them.

Fortunately, the adjusted war plan is still a very important task.

On the night of the 7th of the month, after completing the pre-war preparations, the three armies launched an attack on time.

Like the previous war strategy, the main attacker was still the army, and the army led the army and the army were responsible for restraining the Indian army. Unlike the previous war plan, the intensity of the attack was greatly improved, and the army was responsible for the frontal breakthrough. While the army led the army and the army restrained the left-wing Indian army, they also had to find opportunities for breakthroughs. In other words, as the situation developed, the main attack was likely to become assists, and the assists could also become main attacks. Who played the main attack and who played the assists was determined by performance. In the eyes of the army led the army and the army. This arrangement is very reasonable. The decisive battle on the Eastern Front has proved that the performance of the strategic response army is not worse than that of the armored army. In the eyes of the wounded army, this arrangement is very unreasonable, because the army's rapid assault ability is not as good as that of the army led the army and the prosperous army, and the difficulty of frontal assault is much greater than that of the flank assault.

However, how to fight is decided by Pei Chengyi, and it is not up to the three commanders.

There is no way to make such arrangements.

Wang Yuanqing only gave Pei Chengyi a month to thug, and Xibe won New Delhi within Litian.

The straight-line distance from the attack of the Bernhard Pass to New Delhi is about 1,000 kilometers, and the marching mileage exceeds Guanqian; the straight-line distance from the attack of the Lahore Army to New Delhi is about 0 kilometers, and the marching mileage exceeds Yo kilometers; the straight-line distance from the attack of the Suledeger Army to New Delhi is about 1,000 kilometers, and the marching mileage exceeds Kuaikiki. Based on the average of the heavy armored army attacks field kilometers per day, the Strategic Response Army attacks an average of 40 kilometers per day, and the three armies need to attack New Delhi, each of which requires the Blade, Sky and Daotian to attack New Delhi. Even if the army can capture New Delhi alone, it will take at least 30 days. Because the possibility of the army occupying New Delhi alone is almost zero. Therefore, when the army and the army arrive, it will take at least one day to capture New Delhi at the earliest. This is the result under ideal circumstances, and it is impossible to encounter an ideal situation in the war.

When the battle plan was formulated, Pei Chengyi knew that according to the previous tactics, it would take at least 2 months to conquer New Delhi.

More effective offensive tactics must be adopted, and they are unexpected tactics from the enemy.

Pei Chengyi also hardly imagined the tactics that the enemy could not imagine, at least they were not within reach.

Because the pre-war preparation time was too short. Even if Pei Chengyi left the capital and returned to the front line command on a special plane, he was considering the tactics of attacking New Delhi. By the beginning of the battle, it was only a few hours. For a large-scale battle, it was almost impossible to think of the best offensive tactics within a few hours. Therefore, when deploying combat missions, Pei Chengyi left a lot of room and did not kill the plan.

With his command habits, he would not be able to kill a plan.

According to Xiang Yinghui, Yuan Chenhao and others, Pei Chengyi is not the kind of commander who relies on combat strategies to command the army to fight. When he commands combat operations, the combat plan is either changed beyond recognition or thrown into a garbage can, and then issue combat orders completely according to his judgment on the situation.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi's command method cannot be learned by anyone because no one has the military talent he has.

Not to mention other generals, even Yuan Chenhao, who was deeply educated by Pei Chengyi, believed that he was far inferior to Pei Chengyi and could not become the talented military commander like Pei Chengyi.

This is why Pei Chengyi's command method is questioned. In the eyes of some Western military strategists, Pei Chengyi's command method cannot be imitated or imitated, because no army can arrange combat 100% according to the commander's whim. In a better way, if the general who imitates Pei Chengyi can have command methods flexibly and freely, and is lucky enough. There are just a few strong enough troops like the summoning army, the gang army, the Cong army and the sword army, they will definitely be invincible on the battlefield; if the tiger is not a rebellious cat, and the luck is very bad, the army in his hand is not a brilliant victory, but a shameful failure.

In fact, after Pei Chengyi, no general could imitate it.

Yuan Chenhao is a relatively lucky one. Because he has good luck, but compared to Pei Chengyi, his achievements are still much worse than Pei Chengyi, especially his achievements in military innovation. He is simply unable to compete with Pei Chengyi.

Of course, these are all later stories.

Pei Chengyi asked three field troops to launch an attack at the same time, which could produce three-killing results. First, use actual combat to test the combat effectiveness of the three field troops. Provide the most direct basis for determining the main force. Second, put pressure on the Indian army to the greatest extent, force the Indian army to mobilize comprehensively and find loopholes in the Indian army's defense line in the battle. Third, it is to attack New Delhi, forcing the Indian army to focus on the direction of New Delhi and reduce the burden on the offensive operations in the south.

Arrangement of 3 field troops is not enough.

Before the battle began, Pei Chengyi called Shang Xueyun of Zhanjun, Huaizhi.com of the old army and Wang Xueping of the oral army, asking the Fiber Airborne Army to make the war as soon as possible.

It is said that Xiaojixin Brigade is ready for combat. By drawing troops from other air brigades, the three air brigades restore all their combat power and wait for combat orders at any time.

The three air brigades were the reserve teams prepared by Pei Chengyi to attack New Delhi and the only reserve team.

However, Yuan Chenhao had different opinions on how to use the three air raids.

According to his opinion, the air brigade should be allowed to participate in the war as soon as possible. At least a thug should be sent to participate in the war, assist the armored troops in a certain direction to launch an attack, tear open the Indian army's defense line, and then determine the main attack direction. As long as the main attack line is determined, the other two air brigades can play a greater role, accelerate the advancement of the ground troops, and strive to attack New Delhi as soon as possible, so as to capture New Delhi as soon as possible.

From a certain perspective, Yuan Chenhao's opinion makes sense.

Even the main attack direction is not determined, how can we ensure that we will defeat New Delhi?

No matter what, it is impossible to evenly distribute the precious support forces in three offensive directions, right?

Launching an attack from three directions can only greatly reduce the offensive power in each direction, and it is impossible to make a breakthrough in all three directions. The key to the offensive is to concentrate superior forces and break through the enemy's defense line, rather than dispersing the power evenly across the entire defense line.

Pei Chengyi could not understand this most basic truth.

However, Pei Chengyi did not adopt Yuan Chenhao's suggestions.

The reason is very simple. The battle against New Delhi is very special and cannot be used with conventional tactics.

The Northwest region was originally the strategic center of India. After its independence, India has always regarded the Northwest region as the foundation of its country. For decades, it has never relaxed the defense construction of the Northwest region. The four Indian-Pakistan wars made India regard the Northwest region as the lifeblood of the country. From the perspective of any aspect of the number of troops, defense density, defense intensity, military quality, infrastructure, logistics support, etc., the Northwest region has the highest hearing. If the urban density and population density of the Northwest region are included, for any army, this is the deepest war quagmire that can be found in the world today.

After the end of the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Pei Chengyi, who was still a low-level officer at the time, participated in the wargame deduction of the General Staff. The main content of the deduction was to simulate the dispatch of troops to attack New Delhi after the Fourth India-Pakistan War. Although the General Staff never announced the results of the deduction, Pei Chengyi knew what the result was. After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Ji Youguo vigorously promoted military reforms. The Republic soldiers led by Chang Maobang fully supported it. This was influenced by the results of this deduction. From this, it can be inferred that the deduction result would definitely not be much better.

After the southern Tibet conflict, the General Staff began to prepare for the Indian War. Before going to further study in the official training class, Pei Chengyi, who was still the director of the Operations Department, was responsible for formulating several war plans against India. It clearly explained the importance and difficulty of attacking New Delhi. During his work in Islamabad, Pei Chengyi assisted the Pakistani army as a military adviser of the Republic to formulate several combat plans against New Delhi. Although he was not a main participant, Pei Chengyi knew that the Pakistani army was also very clear about the difficulty of attacking New Delhi.

These experiences are enough to make Pei Chengyi attach great importance to the combat operations in attacking New Delhi.

More importantly, the Military Intelligence Bureau has confirmed that all the first phase of war mobilization in India was in place. The first round of conscription work for the second phase of war mobilization has begun. The most conservative estimate is that the Indian combat troops on the Western Front battlefield exceeded one division. The total force is about 10,000. According to the Military Intelligence Bureau's speculation, if the attack on New Delhi continues until the middle of the old month, the Republic's army will face at least 10,000 Indian troops, and may even be close to 400,000.

Three armies plus three brigades to deal with the Indian army that was persuaded to the heart!

Not to mention the thugs who are 40,000 soldiers with guns and ammunition. Even unarmed civilians can still give Pei Chengyi a headache.

In other words, Pei Chengyi wants to use only one-fifty to one-percent of the enemy's troops.

No matter how powerful Pei Chengyi is, he will not take it lightly.

Traditional tactics are not without the possibility of winning. It is just that it is impossible to win within a month of a thug.

The reality forced Pei Chengyi to take a strange move.

When rejecting Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi only mentioned one reason, that is, it is impossible for Ren Jun to capture New Delhi with three brigades.

This reason is enough to convince Xi Chenhao.

In fact, this is one of the purposes of Pei Chengyi's attack in three directions.

To conquer New Delhi, all the troops must be concentrated. In other words, to make breakthroughs in the annihilation field army, we must also strive to attack outside New Delhi at the same time.

This is also the most difficult problem to solve.

Pei Chengyi did not hand over the command work of attacking New Delhi to Yuan Chenhao, but asked Yuan Chenhao to be responsible for the more important combat operations in the west. It was precisely because Yuan Chenhao's ability was not enough and lacked experience in commanding the operations.

How to fight, let alone Yuan Chenhao can't figure out, even Xiang Yinghui, who was "supervising the battle" in the rear, couldn't figure out.

After the attack began, Xiang Yinghui called Pei Chengyi one night while thugs, asking about Pei Chengyi's tactical deployment. What disappointed Xiang Yinghui was that Pei Chengyi's answer was both straightforward and direct: the intention was unknown.

Pei Chengyi couldn't let the troops launch an attack without knowing how to fight, right?

Obviously impossible!

After dawn on the 8th of the month, Pei Chengyi stayed in his office. In addition to occasionally asking about the progress of the army, he kept thinking about problems on a large-scale war zone map.

Yuan Chenhao found an opportunity to go to Pei Chengyi's office several times, but found that Pei Chengyi was too obsessed with it and didn't pay attention to him at all.

In the morning of the Kouyuekou, in addition to eating, drinking, defecating, Pei Chengyi stood in front of the map.

Upon receiving the news that he had left the army to break through the Dabuti River, Pei Chengyi adjusted his operation and returned to the office and looked at the map to meditate.

At this time, the three field troops had already fought with the main force of the Indian army.

The Tian army attacked the defensive positions of the Printing Army in Botankode. Fortunately, the Ba army was active in action and restrained the main force of the Indian army from the flanks. Only the wounded army could easily advance steadily with the best attack methods. According to Major General Sai Biao's report, the army could capture Botankode before dark in the past, and then hand over the task of occupying Botankode to the Pakistani army according to the plan, and the main force continued to assault south.

The army was stubbornly blocked by the Indian army outside the city of Lufayana. Although the Pakistani reinforcements felt it in time, the army's offensive operations still did not improve much. It was not that the army was not strong enough. It was not that the army's strength was not strong enough, but that the army was one of the most important military fortresses in northwest India. The Indian army stationed in the local area were all the main forces, and the defensive positions were built very firmly. It was difficult to make a breakthrough quickly. In the words of Lieutenant General Cai Suikang, it was already a very remarkable thing for the army to be able to capture Lufayana before the sun was bright.

The situation of the Wang Army was slightly better, and it was not until the morning of the Koji Day that the Indian army was stubbornly blocked by the Indian army. The problem is that in addition to the defensive positions of the Indian army, the Indian desert was also the Indian desert. The harsh natural environment had no difference in the impact on the Wang Army than the Indian army who had tenacious resistance. In the words of Major General Tuziqi, the army could definitely defeat the Pertinda in the old night, but it was hard to say when it could break out of the desert.

The battles in all three directions were very fierce, but they failed to make substantial breakthroughs.

It's almost 2 days, but I still have no harvest, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

The staff officers knew that the commander-in-chief was very anxious. They all consciously did not disturb the commander-in-chief. If there were any problems, they would go to the deputy commander-in-chief.

Yuan Chenhao also knew that Pei Chengyi was looking for a solution, so he took on all the work of the front-line command center and did not let the staff officer disturb Pei Chengyi.

Pei Chengyi walked out of the office when the preparer delivered the lunch to the tactical center.

"Let's have lunch so soon?"

"The ticking order has passed, do you want to give me one?"

"I don't have the appetite, I eat boxed lunches every day." Pei Chengyi stretched and yawned. "You arrange your work and we'll go to the cafeteria to eat and do some hard work."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly. Knowing that Pei Chengyi had gained something, he quickly let the staff take over.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, Pei Chengyi ordered four dishes and one soup, one more dish than usual.

"Hungry?"

"I'm really hungry, and I'm still on the table and I didn't eat it at all."

Yuan Chenhao smiled and poured beer into Pei Chengyi's cup.

"I won't drink beer anymore. You know my alcohol content. If I drink it now, I might have to climb down immediately." Pei Chengyi smiled and served a bowl of soup, "It's still comfortable to have hot soup."

"The way I thought of?"

Pei Chengyi finished drinking the soup and said with a smile: "It seems that you are more anxious than me."

"Can't you be in a hurry? I only received the battle reports from the three armies in the morning, and the situation is not optimistic."

"That's already gone. This afternoon, at the latest, but tonight, the battle situation will change significantly."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly. Now he adjusted the deployment and could not see any effect in the afternoon and night.

"I forgot to tell you that I have contacted Tu Ziqi and others by phone and arranged new combat missions." Pei Chengyi said with a smile, "Three field troops are adjusting their deployments. When we get back after dinner, we should receive relevant news."

"When did you adjust your combat deployment?"

"In the morning, or early morning, it's shortly after you ask the staff to bring the breakfast in."

"Then you have been here for a few hours"

"After adjusting the deployment, you have to reconsider the situation on the battlefield? Besides, the sudden thought of combat plan may not be a combat plan that can withstand scrutiny. Spending a few hours to reconsider is not a waste of time."
