Chapter 73 Battle of the Great Corps
The situation has always been under the control of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The Republic spent four years preparing for this war, and the Military Intelligence Bureau comprehensively strengthened its intelligence network in India within four units. Although it relied on the information provided by the Indian intelligence leader Macri, who defected to the Republic, the Military Intelligence Bureau established a complete intelligence network in India, but in the past few years, the Military Intelligence Bureau has not relaxed its intelligence allocation work for India. After the conflict in southern Tibet, the Military Intelligence Bureau placed India second only to the United States. To this end, Li Cunxun specially promoted a group of young intelligence personnel and tried every means to send them to India.
The meaning behind Rurajapani sent the capital garrison troops who were absolutely loyal to him to control the families of senior Indian generals and incorporated the descendants of senior Indian generals into the garrison troops is definitely not simple. Li Cunxun did not delay any time and went to the head of state after receiving the news. What surprised him was that Wang Yuanqing did not take this matter seriously at all, but just asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to continue to monitor the situation in India and not make a fuss.
On the way back to the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun understood. With the head of state's insight, he must have expected that Rurajapani would do this. In fact, Rurajapani's performance before the conflict in southern Tibet was completely reasonable to believe that he was an iron-fisted prime minister with firm perseverance and extraordinary courage. After the conflict in southern Tibet, Rurajapani was too weak, not because his personality had changed, but because he had to act weak. From a certain perspective, Rurajapani was definitely waiting for this war. Only after obtaining wartime authorization, that is, absolute power, Rurajapani could control India according to his own wishes without worrying about various interest groups.
After understanding this, Li Cunxun knew what to do.
The news feedback from various channels proves that the Indian people are not united, and many Indians do not support going to war with China, and even hope to change India's social structure through war. Although after obtaining authorization, Lurajapani immediately declared that India entered a state of war and began to mobilize war, based on the domestic situation in India, Lurajapani first had to consider whether the people supported it. In order to get the support of the people, Lurajapani must make the poor believe that the government has the ability to lead India to the final victory, and more capable of changing India's social structure, allowing traditional forces that usurped too many social interests to get out of India, and let the poor people get more benefits. To this end, Lurajapani must open fire on the traditional forces, and the first thing he did was to control the country's compulsory institutions, namely the Indian army.
According to Li Cunxun's speculation, Lurajapani will immediately use the wartime power to announce the implementation of the wartime rationing system.
After taking this step, Lurajapani will definitely liquidate the wealth of major families and monopoly enterprises, confiscate the assets of traditional forces, and let the poor public see a glimmer of hope through the new distribution system.
At this point, there will inevitably be internal turmoil in India.
If Li Cunxun can see this problem, Ji Yuanqing will definitely see it.
Back at the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun immediately found Liu Xiaobin. In India, even if Rulajapani controlled the situation, nothing could happen. This opportunity must be made full use of it to hit India to the greatest extent. There are still many things to do, and Li Cunxun does not want to miss such a good opportunity.
"The news received by the judgment website is that the Indian army is gathering in West Bengal."
“Has it been confirmed?”
"The Air Force's reconnaissance aircraft have confirmed the satellite reconnaissance report. According to the analysis of the General Staff, the Indian army will launch a new attack in the last few days. It is very likely to launch an attack in the direction of two kilograms."
"Two directions?" Li Cunxun sat down and lit a cigarette.
"While gathering towards West Bengal, the main Indian troops also appeared in the northwest direction of Lubayala and Pertinda."
"What does India want to do?"
Liu Xiaobin sat down on the sofa next to Li Cunxun. "I had a phone call with the General Staff. According to the judgment of the General Staff, it is very likely that the Indian army will launch a counterattack on the Western Front battlefield first to distract us, and then put heavy troops on the Eastern Front battlefield. However, the General Staff cannot confirm the direction of the Indian army's assault on the Eastern Front battlefield."
"What does it mean?" Li Cunxun is also a soldier. He is very familiar with war.
"On the surface, the only choice of the Indian army is to fight back to Kyschengenje and Siliguri and open up the ground passage to the eastern region. The actual situation is that the Indian army on the eastern front did not move towards the eastern region. Instead, it was gathering towards the southern bank of the Ganges River, probably preparing to enter Bangladesh from West Bengal and then heading to the eastern region."
“India is preparing to invade Bangladesh?”
Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "There is such a possibility, but it is not certain yet. The traffic in the lower reaches of the Ganges River is very developed, and our army does not have the transportation infrastructure for the time being, so the Indian army may also assault north from the south bank of the Ganges River and attack Jishengenje from two directions."
Li Cunxun thought for a while and said, "Have you sent the news to the frontline command?"
"The General Staff has contacted the Frontline Command."
"That's good, let Pei Chengyi get a headache." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "I have met the head of state on the Internet. The situation in India is very abnormal. Lurajapani controls most of the descendants of senior generals. If I guess correctly, Lurajapani will soon launch a major liquidation."
"Term traditional forces?"
Li Cunxun nodded and said, "Rulajapani has no choice. If he cannot make up his mind to eradicate traditional forces, India's war mobilization will not be much fruitful. The first Gansu eliminates the attack and makes most Indian poor people stand on the battlefield of the anti-government Rajapani's second energy defense against Rendao War. If the people's hearts cannot be stabilized before the fall of New Delhi, no matter where the Indian government flees, it will lose its appeal and lose its legitimacy."
"What instructions does the Head of State have?"
“Let’s monitor the domestic situation in India closely.”
“Not let us take action?”
"Does it need to be taken?" Li Cunxun asked back, and then said, "From the current situation, it is not time for us to take action. Mu Yong doubted that Lulajapani was very powerful. By controlling the army, he achieved the goal of controlling the country's absolute power. In this case, let alone those traditional forces, I am afraid that even the United States will have no influence on him. According to the head of state, we should sit down and watch the tiger fight. No matter what the result is, the situation in India will be turbulent. All we have to do is take appropriate action at the right time."
"Then you need to make the deployment as soon as possible."
"You are fully responsible for this matter. Leave it to Cao Jianhua for assisting in the war."
Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "Okay. I am not very suitable to assist the army in combat. Cao Jianhua is a soldier and is more suitable for this position than us."
"Go to make arrangements first, and ask Cao Jianhua to come to discuss the details in the evening."
When Liu Xiaobin left Li Cunxun's office, thousands of miles away, Yuan Chenhao had just walked into Pei Chengyi's office.
"The intelligence received by the publication, the Indian army has undergone a large-scale mobilization."
Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, took the handheld computer that Pei Chengyi handed it to, glanced at the message on the screen, and then started laughing.
"It's not much different from our speculation, and the Indian army is ready to launch a counterattack."
Yuan Chenhao nodded and said, "Have you notified the General Staff of the Pakistan Army?"
"No, I don't think there is any need for this." Pei Chengyi lit a cigarette and said. "Although the information provided by the General Staff explains that the Indian army gathered on the Western Front battlefield is the main combat force, according to the battlefield situation we have mastered, the Indian army does not have so many main combat forces."
"In other words, it is possible that the reserve team and the second-line combat troops will be abandoned."
Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "From the actual situation, the Indian army's main battlefield is in the east, not in the west. Although launching a counterattack on the Western Front battlefield can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, the Indian army has no reason to invest in the main force on the secondary battlefield. From this, it is judged that the Indian army's counterattack on the Western Front battlefield will not be very effective. Of course, from our standpoint, we cannot disappoint the Indian army."
"What do you mean?" Yuan Chenhao looked humbly asking for advice.
"Why did the Indian army launch a counterattack on the Western Front battlefield? To put it directly, it is to make us think that the Indian army put the Western Front battlefield first and create opportunities for their comprehensive counterattack on the Eastern Front battlefield. If we defeat the Indian army's counterattack on the Western Front battlefield, then the battle on the Eastern Front battlefield will become more complicated." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "It can almost be concluded that the Indian army will invest the main force on the Eastern Front battlefield. The scale of the troops must be more than 500,000. For us, this is an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Indian army's vitality, especially the main force. Missing this opportunity will inevitably have a serious impact on future combat operations. If we want to achieve our goal, we must make the Indian army believe that we have been deceived and that their counterattack on the Eastern Front battlefield can achieve the predetermined goal."
Yuan Chenhao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Pei Chengyi's meaning.
"So, we must adjust our deployment." Pei Chengyi took out the map, "the army should be prepared to participate in the war as soon as possible. When the Pakistani army's flank is attacked, stabilize the front line for the Pakistani army and block the Indian army's counterattack in the direction of Srinagar.
Yuan Chenhao glanced at the map and said nothing.
"The army and the army must arrive within 24 hours. The army will move southward and go to Lahore to participate in the battle in the direction of Lahore in the form of a reserve; the army will go to Sashivar and build a defense line in Sashivar." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "The main task of both armies is defense, not attacking."
"Defense?" Yuan Chenhao immediately frowned. "The army leads and the army are both strategic reactive forces. They are better at attacking, and the best way to resist the Indian army's counterattack is to attack."
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Do you think we should do our best to help Pakistan?"
Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
"The Pakistani army has always believed that it is capable of defeating India alone. Why should we "help air"?" After destroying the cigarette butts, Pei Chengyi lit another one and said, "Only after suffering, the Pakistani army will take the war seriously and obey our command. After the Indian army's counterattack begins, it will definitely focus on attacking Lahore, and then assault in depth, cut off the major transportation artery from Karachi to Islamabad, and occupy Pakistan's most prosperous Punjab Province. When the war reaches this point, Kistan will inevitably shift the focus and put its main force into defensive operations. Let the wounded army stay in Srinagar,
Even if the Pakistani army stops its attack, we have the ability to capture Srinagar and set a foundation for the next stage of offensive operations. In addition to helping the Pakistani army defend the front, the main function of keeping the lead army in Lahore is to fight and retreat while fighting. Taking advantage of the geographical conditions of the staggered rivers in the area, the Indian army has to continue to invest in combat troops and create opportunities for the final encirclement and annihilation of the Indian army. The main purpose of the army to build a defense line in Sahival is to prevent the Indian army from expanding the front of the attack to the south, and to prevent Pakistan from falling into the road to the defence line in Kodan District, must be able to allow the Indian army to attack along our constant state."
Yuan Chenhao's brows jumped a few times and understood what Pei Chengyi meant.
If you really want to fight this battle according to Pei Chengyi's vision, the Indian army's ending will be very tragic.
"The air force deployment must also be adjusted." Pei Chengyi took two cigarettes and said, "The Indian army chose the counterattack defense line in Punjab, rather than the more confident Sindh. The fundamental reason is to take this opportunity to restrain our air power. Although with the combat effectiveness of our ground forces, we can defend the defense line even without the support of air power, in order to allow the Indian army to launch a bold counterattack and then launch an attack on the eastern front, we must let the air force make some statements."
"The ultimate goal is the Eastern Front."
Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "According to my estimate, the Indian army will launch a counterattack twenty-four to forty-eight hours after launching a counterattack on the Western Front. That is, after breaking through the first line of defense of the Pakistani army, it will launch an attack on the Eastern Front. Judging from the current situation, the Indian army will launch two attacks at the same time on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, one is to directly attack Jishengenje, forcing us to reinforce the Knife Army. After achieving this goal, the Indian army will use Bangladesh to send reinforcements from the south to the eastern region to achieve the goal of encircling Siliguri."
"In this way, we must defend Jishengenje and cut off the Indian army's access to Bangladesh."
"It is not to cut off the passage, but to cut off the Indian army's retreat." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Although India's military mobilization capabilities are amazing, it is impossible to complete the mobilization work overnight. The newly recruited soldiers need to be trained. The most important thing is that we have two purposes, one is to annihilate the Indian army's vitality, and the other is to create the fact that India invades Bangladesh. Only by achieving these two purposes can we obtain the right to use Chittagong. Transport combat troops and combat materials to eastern India through Bangladesh."
Yuan Chenhao smiled and shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Issue combat orders to the old army and the Oral Army as soon as possible, so that they can prepare for the war as soon as possible." Pei Chengyi moved the map and pointed to Bangladesh above and said, "After the main force of the Indian army enters Bangladesh, the old army attacks Bazar and Bahampur in England, and the Oral Army attacks Nabbedvip and this website, cutting off the Indian army's retreat route."
"And Lai Genjie in the north
"This is the task of the sword army." Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "From tonight, the sword army will be airlifted to Jishengenje. The task of guarding Jishengenje is undertaken by the sword army. The task of the sword army is to go south from Jishengenje. When the airborne troops blocked the southern passage, they will capture Laigenje and block the last passage."
"Ling Yunxiao probably won't agree."
"Can you let him go?" Pei Chengyi glanced at his deputy and said, "I will say hello to Ling Yunxiao in person. The importance of defending Jishengenjie is no worse than attacking Laigenjie.
Besides, in order to disperse our army's forces, the Indian army will definitely spare no effort to attack Jishengenje. Whether the sword army can defend Jishengenje is a question."
"Then we have to prepare Hongjun."
Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "The fallen army must be prepared, but it does not need to take action early. With the combat power of the sword army, even if it faces more than ten times the enemy, it is still sufficiently sure. After the battle begins, the concave army will be assigned combat tasks according to the situation."
"How to use the old army airborne?"
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "We just blocked the Indian army's retreat, so someone must block the Indian army's way forward, right?"
Xi Chenhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"The air transport work must be carried out quickly. The sword army must be deployed twelve hours before the battle begins, and then a full rest." Pei Chengyi breathed a long sigh and said, "After the battle begins, two armies must be dropped at the same time. The pressure on tactical air transport troops is very high. The troops that the Hongjun has not sent can be kept behind for the time being. Before the Indian army launches an attack, they can use the transportation power of the land aviation to transport combat materials and some logistics equipment to the front line. You should negotiate these tasks with the Air Force staff and must be arranged as soon as possible."
"No problem, I'll deal with it right away."
Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Also, remember to adjust the Air Force's bombing plan and send the thugs."
"I really don't need to notify the General Staff of the Pakistani Army in advance?"
"I have a sense of justice." Pei Chengyi glanced at his deputy and said, "Do our business first, let's do our job well and what the Jun can do will depend on their performance."
Yuan Chenhao didn't say anything more and stood up and left Pei Chengyi's office.
Although Pei Chengyi acted relaxed and relaxed, he was not at all relaxed.
At this time, large-scale ground wars are inevitable. Strictly speaking, this is the first war fought by the Republic since its founding. Although the Republic's Army made great contributions during the Peninsula War, due to the geographical environment of the peninsula, the army's investment was not large, and large-scale armored cluster battles rarely occur. Unlike the Korean Peninsula, the Ganges Plain in India is very suitable for armored troops and has enough space to accommodate large-scale armored groups.
As the Indian army launches a counterattack, a large army battle will inevitably occur.
Even though Pei Chengyi had full confidence in defeating his opponent, he still did not dare to take it lightly before winning.
