Chapter 163: Destruction

The news that Bethiara was attacked... Gujarad reacted and made a fuss

However, the hair meridian was too late at this time.

The three main divisions who had just left Bethiara were caught by Chinese Army Air thugs before they could go far. The three divisions lost all heavy equipment and more than half of the casualties were killed or injured. According to the news from the frontline, China's attack aircraft used various "weapons of mass destruction" including anti-armor cluster bombs, incendiary bombs, and thermopress bombs, which dropped more than 10,000 anti-armor sub-munitions. Because the three main divisions were hit during the march, there was no time to escape, let alone organize defense.

The loss of three divisions is still a trivial matter, the most terrible thing is that the bombing has ruined the garrison of Bethiara.

The bombing was not over yet, and the full bombardment came.

It can be said that artillery bombardment is more terrifying than bombing, because bombardment mainly targets important targets, and no matter how many combat aircraft are invested, the sustainability is insufficient. The artillery bombardment is completely opposite. It is not only not clear targeting, but also has a strong sustainability and much greater ammunition throwing. Often, half an hour can withstand a whole day of bombing. Although this will greatly reduce the combat efficiency of artillery bombardment, it is more effective than bombing when suppression is the main purpose.

The shelling continued, and the thugs deployed a line of defense outside Bertiala

Offense is about coherence and continuity. If you want to defeat the defensive forces, you cannot give your opponent a chance to breathe.

The shelling just ended and the second round of bombing began again.

Unlike the first round of bombing, this round of bombing was all carried out under the guidance of the air thunder troops. In order to support the bombing operation, the air thunder troops not only dispatched dozens of aircraft, but also swayed near the battlefield. They closely monitored the Indian army's every move, but also dispatched dozens of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to guide the targets for the bombers. Although the bombing intensity has decreased, the damage caused to the Indian army has been greatly increased.

Until the mouth point, that is, when the second round of bombing was over, Berthiara's defenders were still unable to organize.

Like the previous strikes, the second round of artillery was very well connected with the second round of bombing. The bombing net was judged to be over and the shelling began again. Like the second round of bombing, the shelling was guided by the front-line combat troops, mainly attacking the defensive forces trying to assemble, and not giving the Indian army any chance to counterattack.

At this time, Gujarad was still lucky.

Whether it is bombing or shelling, it is impossible to defeat Bethiara's defenders. If you want to occupy Bethiara, the Chinese army must invade the defensive formation industry and fight position wars with the Indian army. The Air Tu Field Brigade is an air assault force. Although it can transport some armored vehicles to the front line, the Air Tu Field Force is never an armored force. The ground assault capability is limited, and the ability to fight position war is even more

limit.

At this time of the war, apart from the sudden attack, the air burst troops had not fought a regular armored war.

According to Gujarad's idea, as long as the Indian army defends Bethiara's defensive position, the Chinese army will not expect to defeat Bethiara. As long as the battle is made within an hour, they can mobilize the surrounding troops to kill the Air Tu thug and the Blade Brigade, and at least force the Air Tu brigade to leave Bethiara.

But Gujarad wasn't happy for long.

The old point blade was divided, and the thug that led the army, the armored assault brigade arrived in Bethiara.

The sudden appearance of the armored assault brigade shocked Gujarad and completely destroyed the hope of defending Bethiara.

Although the thug is Wan, Bethiara is not Bhopal or New Delhi. The strength of the defensive positions is not enough to resist the armored forces, and the defenders cannot confront the armored forces on the ground in the face of dense fire strikes.

As long as two brigades make full use of their superior strength, they will definitely be able to defeat Bethiara.

In fact, that afternoon, the Indian infantry division guarding the northeastern defensive position of Bethiara, that is, facing the 6th Armored Assault Brigade, surrendered.

With the first surrendered force, there is the second surrendered force.

It's only a matter of time before it's a matter of time to throw away Bertiara.

The same view is also the US military adviser.

In the eyes of the US military adviser, Pei Chengyi not only had enough reason to capture Bethiara, but also invested enough offensive forces.

As a strategic location in the northwest region of India, Bethiara is the northern gate of New Delhi, and its importance is not inferior to Mathura. When several armies must be invested to capture New Delhi, Pei Chengyi had no choice but to let the only heavy armored army in this direction arrive in New Delhi as soon as possible, that is, the army's troops arrived in New Delhi, so he had to occupy Bethiara in advance and open the door to New Delhi. More importantly, after occupying Bethiara, the defense lines in Bethiara, Lufayana and other places in the north will be useless, and the Indian army must shrink its defense lines. At that time, not only the 66th army will be killed in New Delhi, but also the army will be led. Although this has had an impact on the army's combat operations and has also been invested in the reserve team of the thugs and brigades, the capture of Bethiara can allow the two field armies to play a greater role, and the benefits are significantly greater.

Although he was a little aware of it, the US military adviser still made accurate judgments. Pei Chengyi had already invested two brigades of troops in Berthiara, and in a very short time he invested a large number of long-range support forces, which was enough to prove his determination to capture Berthiara. In the words of the US military adviser, the Chinese army would definitely capture Berthiara. If the two brigades' forces could not complete the combat mission, Pei Chengyi would also invest at least two brigades of reinforcements.

For the Indian army, the difference is just when to throw away Bethy Dayla. In the first round, it will determine about north of Bethyaryara! Yo Wan Indian army's sharp retention problem

If it were just a thug and the second-line troops fell to Wan, Gujarad would not have any concerns. From another perspective, if he could use 40,000 reserve troops or second-line troops to block 2 kilograms, the field army would have a good value for money even if it lost all its money. The problem is that there is a strong main division in Tian Wan's army north of Bethiara, and there are old main divisions in Bethankode and Lubayana alone.

In any case, Gujarad would not lose these troops.

The only way is to shrink the defense line and withdraw the main force in the north before Bethiara falls.

If you work hard, you will definitely be able to play a more critical role in New Delhi.

The question is, how to withdraw?

Bethiara may fall at any time, time is very hurrying, and Gujarad can't take care of that

.

At noon on the verge, Gujarad issued an order to the defenders of Betankod, the old pound. The main division immediately went south to Lumayana, and after meeting with the six main divisions of Ludhiana, they headed south to Bethiara. Because the army was still attacking Betankod, the lead army was also besieging Lumayana. So Gujarad did not order other troops to retreat, and was preparing to sacrifice the second-line troops and the reserve troops to create retreat opportunities for the main troops.

This arrangement became the fuse of the disaster.

In the evening, Bettengod's main force began to break through.

According to Pei Chengyi's order, the army did not make every effort to block the attack. It only sent reconnaissance troops to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Indian main force, and provided information for the long-range support forces that carried out night strike missions, allowing aviation and long-range artillery to deal with the fleeing Indian army. The main force of the army was still attacking the Printing Army's defensive positions outside the city of Botankode.

For the old main force who escaped, the journey to Ludhiana was not smooth.

Most importantly, hope has been completely shattered for the Indian army who remained in Bettengod.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Indian army of Betankod was about an old hour after the main force withdrew and surrendered to Youjun.

The wounded army did not enter the city to accommodate prisoners of war, but left this "difficult" task to the Pakistani Army.

After a brief rest, the wounded army began to advance towards Lumayana before the mouth point.

At this time, the retreating main division of the old Indian army also arrived in Ludhiana. To be precise, it was the remnant unit of the old main division.

In order to deal with the main force of the Indian army, the old night and the thugs. In the early morning of the day, Pei Chengyi mobilized almost all the long-range support forces on the Western Front battlefield. The tactical fighter jets dispatched the near-concave orders, and the low-altitude attack aircraft dispatched the old ranks. The wounded long-range artillery continued to shell the nearly old rank. Before the small rank point, various long-range support forces threw a total of 10,000 tons of ammunition at the main division of the Indian army, and the ammunition used to deal with armored targets exceeded 10,000!

Such a intensive firepower strike is enough to make the old main division lose its combat effectiveness.

By this time, no one doubted Pei Chengyi's tactics chosen.

It can be said that as long as the Indian army stays on the defensive position, even if it is isolated and has no support, as long as the morale is not returned to zero, and the will to continue fighting, whether it is the army or the army, they have to pay a great price in the offensive and defensive battles of the position to break through the Indian army's defense line. If you want to fully utilize the advantage of firepower, the only way is to let the Indian army leave the defensive position and go to the wilderness that is easily attacked. The purpose of attacking Bethiara is to create a sense of crisis for the Indian army, making the Indian army think that staying in Bethankod and Ludhiana is a dead end, forcing the Indian army to choose to shrink the defense line. As long as the Indian army starts to move, the initiative will be completely in the hands of the Republic's army, and the powerful long-range strike force will also be used.

Murder: It is not a miracle to fight the old master of martial arts all night. With absolute air superiority and absolute firepower advantages, as long as Pei Chengyi is willing to invest. Even if he deals with the main master of martial arts, it is not a problem.

Of course, the fierce battle that night also caused combat operations in other directions

ring.

From the perspective of the entire battlefield, the battle between the old night and the thugs and the day points is of decisive significance.

The old main force was basically disabled, which made Lubayana's six main force completely desperate.

If you stay, you can only be surrounded by the Chinese army and surrender when the ammunition and food are exhausted. Breakthrough can only provide opportunities for the Chinese army's long-range strike forces and fall on the way back to New Delhi.

Breakthrough or stick to it?

The thug Gujarad, who had insisted on breaking through the sky, also hesitated. The painful teaching of the old main master forced him to hesitate.

The problem is that hesitation cannot solve the problem.

The thugs and the army meet.

According to Pei Chengyi's order, the main force of the puppet army did not rush to Lubayana, but turned to Bakraba that afternoon.

Shortly after nightfall, the main force of the wounded army captured Bakraba, which was guarded by only two reserve divisions.

Although the battle of Bethiara has not ended yet. The Indian army's breakthrough gate has not been closed yet, the battle situation at this time has been very unfavorable to the Indian army.

It can be said that even if Lumayana's main division successfully broke through and arrived at Bethiara unscathed, because the Bi army had already made a breakthrough in the direction of Bakraba, the army directly pointed at Changmagar. The Indian army could not continue to retreat. They either defeated the air thugs and armored assault brigade in Bethiara, or turned to Changmagar to block the army that was moving south.

Whether it is Bertyara or Tsuntyr. As long as one location is lost, the Indian army will shrink its defense line south and then retreat to the outside of New Delhi City. There is no doubt that with the Indian army's strength, especially the number of main forces, and the battlefield transfer ability of the main forces, it is impossible to defend two strategic areas at the same time. Retreating outside New Delhi City is equivalent to giving up all the outer defense lines to the opponent. With Pei Chengyi's playing style, three field troops will definitely meet in the north of New Delhi and use air assault troops to sweep the outer front. In other words, before the Japanese occupation of the koji, the Chinese army will attack outside New Delhi City, and the combat operations to attack New Delhi will begin at the latest.

Koutian, only the old heaven can reach New Delhi with 3 field troops!

Such assault speed can make the army of any country feel inferior.

For the Indian army, this is the most ideal result.

According to the estimates of some US military advisers, the Indian army not only could not defend Bertiara, but also Chandigarh. The three field troops had already set their sights. With Pei Chengyi's character, they would definitely not stare at a place, otherwise the main force of the wounded army would not rush to Changmaigarh. Because Pei Chengyi still had at least two air brigades in his hands. So at the right time, he would use the reserve team to expand the results. If he considers the sword army in the south, he would even open up a second front at the right time and completely crush the Indian army's attempt to defend New Delhi to the death.

To put it in the words of these US military advisers, if the Indian army cannot kill the air thugs outside the city of Bethiara before dawn, and let the main force go to Chandigarh. Not only will the outer defense line be lost, all Indian troops north of Bethiara will be destroyed.

The question is, can the Indian army kill two brigades of Bethiara before dawn?

By this time Gujarad was helpless.

Looking back, at the beginning of the battle, everyone doubted whether Pei Chengyi could break through the Indian defense line, and even doubted whether Pei Chengyi's tactics were effective. Just like the sky, the situation of the war had undergone a major change. All those who were optimistic about the Indian army changed their views, believing that the Chinese army occupied New Delhi was just a matter of time, and they would not wait too long, the fastest day of the moonrise and the latest end of the month.

After the war, many people compared the "Battle of New Delhi" with the "Decisive Battle of the Eastern Front".

It can be said that the two large-scale battles have essential differences.

In the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, Pei Chengyi mainly used the powerful assault capabilities of the Republic Army. He basically did not use tactics that the enemy could not understand. He only made full use of offensive actions in several directions. It made the enemy difficult to check the beginning and end, and maximized the attack speed. In the Battle of New Delhi, when the troops were very limited, the army's assault capabilities had become a secondary factor. Pei Chengyi fully utilized the advantage of flexible and changeable tactics. He used a series of tactical actions to make the Indian army dizzy. By the time the Indian army judged his intentions for the battle, it was too late to adjust its defense deployment.

If people had previously doubted Pei Chengyi's tactical command ability, believed that he had not served in the front-line troops and had never been to the front-line battlefield. He was a general who did not know tactical combat, then after this battle, no one doubted Pei Chengyi's tactical talent.

An excellent commander must have super-human achievements in strategy, battle and tactics.

In the early morning of the day, after concluding that the Indian army had "accepted their fate", Pei Chengyi adjusted his tactics again.

The wounded vanguard troops arrived in Ludhiana went south at full speed and rushed to Bethiara to support the air thugs and armored assault brigade. Consolidate Bethiara's victory and strive to defeat Bethiara. Pei Chengyi did not clearly require when to defeat Bethiara. The reason is very simple. The vanguard troops in his army only had one combat brigade, and it was not easy to use three brigades to attack the defensive positions guarded by 8 divisions. More importantly, Pei Chengyi did not have ground armored troops that could support the Fibre Field Army. The battle losses were too great and would have an impact on the battle to attack New Delhi later. Only 3 kilograms. The brigade has a firm foothold in Bethiara, and the Indian army will surrender sooner or later.

After a brief rest in Bakraba, the main force of the Jin army must advance to Changmaigar before dawn to reach Chandigarh before the mouth and dike point. This time, Pei Chengyi made a clear requirement that Changmaigarh must be captured before the early morning of the day. In order to allow the army to launch a bold attack with confidence, Pei Chengyi not only promised to provide fire support for it, but also ensured that low-altitude transport aircraft of the Air Brigade were used to transport combat supplies to it. Of course, Pei Chengyi also contacted the General Staff of the Pakistani Army and asked the main force of the Pakistani army, which was still receiving prisoners of war in Botankode to keep up with the army as soon as possible and send combat supplies to the wounded army.

The three field troops of the Republic Army fought very well, which not only made the Pakistani army sincerely admire it, but also made the Pakistani army realize that only by fully assisting the Republic's army can the national interests of Pakistan be guaranteed to the greatest extent. In other words, if the Pakistani army's poor support is caused to the defeat of the Republic's army's combat forces on the front line, China-Pakistan relations will definitely be affected, and the Pakistani army is not able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of attacking New Delhi alone.

After completing this round of deployment, Pei Chengyi was relieved and boldly threw the command work to the staff officer.
