From the tactical command center, Pei Chengyi was still considering the battle on the Western Front...

If it goes as planned, the Republic's Army will first attack the area of ​​the Pindujibu and capture Siliguri, which is the plan; the first step is. After sweeping the eastern part of India, the army will invest its main force on the western battlefield to help Pakistan unify Kashmir and occupy the strategic location of the southern part of the western end of the Himalayas. Before the army marched westward, the ground battle on the Western Front battlefield was undertaken by Pakistan.

This set of "east first and then west" war profits were determined by Wang Yuanqing.

Compared with the border counterattack in the 1990s, the international situation, regional form, and war causes were completely different, so the steps of the strategic offensive were completely reversed. Back then, the reasons for the Republic's adoption of the "Western Attack and East Defense" strategy were very complicated; for example, launching an offensive on the Western Front could stabilize the loss of the First India-Pakistan War, and the domestic situation was turbulent and on the verge of collapse; for example, the Republic could not gain a firm foothold in the Shannan region at that time. The offensive actions on the Eastern Front battlefield were not strongly guaranteed. This time, the Republic did the opposite, and the reasons were also very complicated; for example, Pakistan was already

The military powers in South Asia are dominant in Kashmir. The domestic situation is relatively stable and the demand for offense is not strong; for example, the Republic has built a complete infrastructure in the Shannan region. There is no logistical support problem. Two, among these complex factors, domestic contradictions in India cannot be ignored. The "Assam Independence Movement in eastern India has lasted forever. If the Republic occupied Siliguri and cut off the ties between Assam and the mainland of India, the Assam Independence Movement can be used to control the eastern region of India, thus triggering a wave of ethnic minority independence in India.

According to Pei Chengyi's guess, the latter is the key to Wang Yuanqing's adoption of the "east first, then west" strategy.

.

Although India is also an ancient civilization with a long history, due to the influence of the geographical environment, it is impossible to resist Western invaders without the natural barriers such as the small Takramakan Desert on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. India's culture, religion and race are very complex. When India's independence, the Hindustans were less than Danno in the total population. By the time of injury, the Hindustans also had a population of more than 40,000. There were also many ethnic minorities such as the Tarugu, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalat, Olyya, and Punjab. The Hindustans only account for the total population of India. The complex ethnic components brought complex religious beliefs and cultural traditions. For example, the Hindustans mainly believed in Hinduism. The Bengali and Punjabs believed in Islam. The Tamils ​​believed in Buddhism

Serious cultural and belief differences will surely breed separatism. In fact, after India's independence, the independence movement of ethnic minorities has never ended. According to internationally recognized standards, when the population of a nation exceeds 10,000, the population of a settlement exceeds that of a thug or fails to obtain a high degree of autonomy, a strong sense of independence will arise. With India's political system, Hindustan is definitely the one who dominates the central government, and most ethnic minorities have no say. Although through persistent struggles, some ethnic minorities have obtained autonomy. For example, in the year of export, shortly after the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Indian central government recognized the autonomy of the Malayalam people. However, most Indian ethnic minorities still have no autonomy. For example, the Asatine people, which are mainly distributed in eastern India.

Using ethnic issues to deal with India is probably the most convenient method that Wang Yuanqing can find.

To make this method work, one prerequisite must be met, that is, to create a

Book.

There is no doubt that Assam's independence movement is a typical example.

If the Republic can support the independent establishment of the primary school in Assam or obtain high autonomy, some Assam Independence Movement organizations want to obtain more high autonomy, it will trigger a wave of independence movement in other regions and thus disintegrate the central government of India.

The question is, is it necessary to dismember India into dozens of countries?

Although Pei Chengyi is not a politician, based on his understanding of the situation in South Asia, he feels that dismembering India is not a reliable solution.

First of all, the investment in dismembering India is too great. The risks brought by military operations alone are difficult to bear. The risks in politics and diplomacy are even greater. With the current international situation, Western countries led by the United States will definitely not tolerate India being dismembered. They will not stand idly by. Even if the United States will not send troops to fight, it will try every means to cause trouble for the Republic, thereby increasing the war costs of the Republic.

Secondly, the action to dismember India may not necessarily support the neighboring countries. Although the Indian thug disappears, there will be no longer a powerful regional power in South Asia. It will have some benefits to neighboring countries. But in the long run, the split India will inevitably plunge South Asia into long-term wars and turmoil. The Indian ethnic independence movement will surely become a model for ethnic minorities in other countries, posing a threat to the security and stability of neighboring countries.

The most important thing is that dismembering India may not necessarily be in line with the fundamental interests of the Republic. Wang Yuanqing's purpose in launching this war was not to defeat India. Instead, he "fed" India, turning India into a foreign market and primary product production site for the Republic, laying the foundation for solving the aging population of the Republic. Dismembering India will only cause a larger-scale war and unrest in South Asia, causing India to lose its market and primary industrial countries, and it will not be able to absorb the high-end products of the Republic, and provide the Republic with cheap commercial fruits and the Republic will not be able to successfully get rid of it. He will also fall into the war in India, but if he cannot get what he wants, he will pay a heavy price. Obviously, dismembering India is not worth it, and it will not be worth the loss.

According to Pei Chengyi's speculation, Wang Yuanqing's ultimate goal is to overthrow the existing Indian regime. Establish a central government in India with the participation of all ethnic groups and relatively loose participation, strengthen the power of Indian local governments, give all ethnic minorities a high degree of autonomy, and fundamentally eliminate India's expansion ambitions. Whether this can achieve the goal depends on the individual Indian central government in the Indian regime after the war, or the degree of autonomy of Indian local governments.

Thinking of this, Pei Chengshu was also a little confused. After all, India, which exists as a physical country, will not lack ambitions.

Without much energy, Pei Chengyi understood.

What Wang Yuanqing wants is only that there is no threat to the Republic in the future. India is depressed. In other words, the population aging problem of the Republic can be solved in the past year. At that time, as the Republic's population structure becomes more reasonable, the foreign dependence will be greatly reduced. It can rely on internal motivation to continue to develop. After the foreign dependence decreases, the demand for overseas markets will not be so urgent. This is just like the United States after the Cold War. Its main economic driving force is domestic development, not foreign investment. At this point, India's impact on the Republic will no longer be so obvious. As long as the Republic still maintains its position as the world's number one power, the Indian problem can be solved at any time.

After figuring out this layer of harmful relationship, Pei Chengyi no longer felt that there was anything strange about it.

Although the scale of this war will not be much smaller, it will not reach the point of life and death.

Seeing Yuan Chenhao coming, Pei Chengyi put away his chaotic thoughts and returned to reality.

“How is the situation in Pakistan?”

"Everything goes as planned. It's just that we have to be prepared.

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly and felt another meaning of Pei Chengyi's words.

"Is there any new news? Pei Chengyi looked around.

"Lingyunxiao.com called and asked the thugs to go out in advance.

"Detect it in advance?" Pei Chengyi took out a cigarette.

Yuan Chenhao received the cigarette handed over and said: The thugs were built at the field airport faster than expected. Shang Maiyun had ordered the return brigade to send two ground combat battalions and artillery battalions. If the progress goes well, the brick brigade that arrived earlier would launch an attack on Xiliguli before the 7th brigade arrived."

"You are very fast, Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "The thug should follow the plan and make a profit. Don't pay attention to Ling Yunxiao. Only by letting him play later can he stimulate his enthusiasm."

"I said so too."

Pei Chengyi frowned and looked at Yuan Chenhao.

Yuan Chenhao smiled and said, "I said you are not in the command center, and it is up to you to adjust the combat enthusiasm. Maybe Ling Yunxiao is looking for you."

"Let him find me, when he found me, the action has begun

Yuan Chenhao smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more.

"You go and get out the situation of the Western Front troops and wait and find me in the lounge.

Shortly after Pei Chengyi arrived at the lounge, Yuan Chenhao rushed over with a handheld computer.

Although the focus was on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, considering the actual combat effectiveness of the Pakistani army and the willingness to attack the Kashmir Indian Control District, Pei Chengyi left a hand and sent his army to the past. Among the three armies, only the Bijun was a standard heavy-armed army. In the modernization of the recession, the army and the army were formed according to the standards of the strategic response troops. The combat capability was comparable to that of the sword army.

It seems that there are not many troops deployed on the Western Front battlefield.

The key issue is not the number of troops, but whether the basic conditions can support troops' operations.

Compared with the Eastern Front battlefield, the biggest problem on the Western Front battlefield is the inadequate infrastructure. Although the Republic has built a large number of military facilities in the southern part of the Ali region of Tibet, that is, along the Xiangquan River, there are disciples at the air force base, Qulong, Dongbo, Xiangji and Qusong; a disciple also led from the disciples to Zhada and finally arrived at Qusong. The railway line that runs through the entire Zhada area was built; dozens of high-level highways leading to various military bases were built along the railway.

By the beginning of the bow, the mileage of the roads reached 1,000 meters. However, due to the Himalayas, military bases in the southern region of Ali were not very helpful to combat operations. Heavy troops still had to rely on ground road networks to maneuver, and there was no railway and highway route to northwest India. Ground operations still had to rely on Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. The problem is here. The infrastructure of the Ba-controlled area of ​​Kashmir is very backward.

Due to various factors, Pakistan does not attach importance to the infrastructure construction in the northern Kashmir region. For example, the Kashmir region is originally very remote, with a low population density and few towns. The economic significance of investing huge amounts of funds to build railways and highways is not very important; building a complete road traffic system also poses serious strategic safety hazards. Because a developed transportation system can also provide convenience for enemy countries to attack.

At the beginning of the year of Renfu, Pakistan took a knife year to build only the high-grade highway from Islamabad to Srinaga. The highways in the Baguan area of ​​Kashmir are open to traffic within the mileage of Tianqilafu, except for the strategic major passage to Pakistan through the Hongqilafu Port. There is only one low-grade highway connecting to the Xin-Tibet Highway through Leh through the Korrakom Pass and connected to the Xin-Tibet Highway.

The infrastructure is incomplete. No matter how much troops are invested, it is useless.

"More importantly, this war is not the war in the era of the Blade Century. It is not the infantry that relies on both feet to move, but the mechanized troops that relies on wheels to move. In the event of insufficient transportation, it is difficult for the troops to play their due role on the battlefield.

From this we can also see that Pei Chengyi’s fundamental intention of deploying three armies on the Western Front.

The wounded army is a heavy army with very strong armored forces and its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the three armored divisions of the Pakistani army. If the Pakistani army cannot make a breakthrough in the Kashmir region, or even besieged by the Indian army, the Cong army will enter Pakistan from the strategic channel. Participate in ground battles in the Kashmir region and even help the Pakistani army attack the southern part of Kashmir. With the road traffic conditions in the Kashmir region, in order to support the island army's operations, the Republic must mobilize tactical transport aircraft and build many places along the way for tactical transport aircraft to take off and land.

After the army of the field airport opened the door to the northwest of India, it then put two strategic responsive troops into the battlefield by air transport and carried out a deep attack. As long as it can occupy a major transportation trunk, such as the railway line from Lahore to Amritsar, it can invest more ground combat troops. At this time, reinforcements do not necessarily need to go to the battlefield by land. They can go to the southern port of Pakistan by sea, and then use Pakistan's railway to maneuver to the front line, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of logistics support.

The three armies have not many troops, but they are enough to change the battlefield situation.

The northwest region is the heart of India, the most densely populated and most developed region in India. It is also the barrier of the capital New Delhi. In order to defend the southern part of Kashmir and consolidate the capital defense circle, the Indian army deployed about ground troops of the blade divisions in the southern part of Kashmir, of which 10,000 divisions were deployed on the second line of defense, including armored divisions. As an offensive side, Pakistan deployed about sword divisions in the northern part of Kashmir, and only 8 armored divisions were available. Kistan also deployed kojin divisions in the Lahore region, 4 of which were armored divisions. The strength comparison between the two sides was not balanced. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Pakistan Army is

It is not bad. Its main combat equipment is very advanced. For example, the Biyan introduced from the Republic is the code name of Pakistan. The specific performance is equivalent to the main combat tank, which is more advanced than all the main combat tanks in India. In terms of artillery, Pakistan introduced the thugs and rail electromagnetic gun system from the Republic in the Year of the Blade. Compared with the orbital electric collision gun system of the Republic Army, the output energy of the orbital electromagnetic gun sold to Pakistan has been reduced by sluggishness and the range has been reduced to 1,000 meters. The power supply device equipped for it can only provide electricity for the old door electromagnetic gun at the same time, so the scale of the artillery battalion has been reduced. Pakistan is even more in the lead in other main combat weapons.

If it weren't for the advantage of equipment technology, Kistan wouldn't have taken the initiative in Kashmir.

The key issue is that the main task of the Kistan Army is defense rather than attack. From the perspective of comprehensive national strength, Pakistan is far inferior to India. Even if it has the full support of the Republic, it is unlikely that it will defeat India in a total war. It is even more impossible to take the initiative to launch an attack.

According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, the Pakistani Army has more defense and insufficient offense.

This is Pei Chengyi’s biggest worry.

"Where is the tendon present?"

"The net has just set off from Yecheng and is expected to pass through Hongqilafu Port in two days."

Pei Chengyi thought for a moment and said, "Contact Major General Setrad Biao to help his army speed up the marching. Try to enter Pakistan within thirty-six hours."

"Join the war early?"

Thugs: I will contact the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army. The wounded army will not participate in the war immediately after arriving in Pakistan. Pei Chengyi took out a cigarette and lit one for Yuan Chenhao first, "I have already agreed with the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army that the army will launch an attack in the early morning of tomorrow.

Although the Pakistani army is very well prepared, judging from the current situation, the Pakistani army's offense will not be too active, and even make substantial progress before we complete the Eastern Front offense. If we drag it down, it will be very unfavorable for us. The battle in Siliguri will be up to twenty-four hours. We will then march into the eastern region of India. The battle on the Eastern Front is likely to be completed within a week. If the Pakistani army does not open up the situation, we have to do it ourselves. Let the army enter Pakistan first and prepare so as not to waste time.

If the thug is like this, it is best to make adjustments to the Western Front offensive plan."

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "We must adjust, and we must let the lead army and the 62nd Army enter the battle state as soon as possible. Our first task is to win the battle on the Eastern Front before we can deal with the enemies on the Western Front. No matter what, we should not place our hopes on the Pakistani army."

"We must also report to the General Staff to avoid causing trouble.

"Let's talk about it later when we adjust the combat strategy and thugs. Let Mr. Xiang help us deal with it then.

Seeing that Pei Chengyi understood what he meant, Yuan Chenhao didn't say more.
Chapter completed!
