It is never a trivial matter to remember the army and the devil army heading to the battlefield.

Although many new forces have emerged in the Republic's Army in recent years, such as the Knife Army, which became famous in the Peninsula War, in the eyes of Western news media, the Republic's Army has only three units called aces, including the He Army and the Jiu Army. More importantly, the Republic's Army transformed after the Peninsula War and accelerated the construction of lightweight. With the majority of the main field troops being reorganized into the strategic reactive army, only 4 heavy armored troops were retained, among which the Kuang Army and the Zhao Army were the largest.

After the war broke out, Duqiwei asked the US military intelligence agencies to focus on monitoring the Gill Army and the Grotto Army.

For this American general who suffered a defeat in the Peninsula War, there were only four Republic Army Corps that he would never forget, except for the old army and the desolate army, they were the desolate army and the desolate army. Coincidentally, in the Korean War in Lishishoda, these four armies suffered enough.

With the focus of Meicao's care, every move of the Deliver and the Deliver Army was under surveillance.

There is no way to do this. The Bi Army and the Ao Army are too eye-catching, and the two armies are too large to be able to hide their eyes and ears.

Of course, the Indian army is the one who is most concerned about Zhang Jun and the Gu Jun.

After receiving a warning from the US military, the Indian army immediately asked the Eastern Army Group to stop the attack and ordered the Northeast Army Group to change from preparing for attack to preparing for defense.

For the Indian army, the first thing to be clear is the purpose of the Wu army and the Jiao army participating in the war.

When the Delivery Army and the Chi Army entered the eastern part of India, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Western Corps of the First Army of the Indian Army Group was over, and two second-line infantry divisions were wiped out. When the Indian army received the news, the two main divisions besieged in the Jessie Triangle of Jischengen also surrendered to the Jian Army.

The combat power of the Knife Army is so strong, so the Gill Army and Shuang Army must be even more powerful.

The key question is, what exactly do Zhaojun and the Aojun want to do? Or, what is the purpose of Pei Chengyi using two heavy armored troops at this time?

If you can't even figure out Pei Chengyi's purpose, you will naturally not be able to make the right decision.

Around this issue, the Indian army suffered a lot of trouble.

At the end of the debate, the senior general of Yinzhuo basically formed two opinions.

The main purpose of the Nu Army and the Ao Army to participate in the war was to accelerate the battle process of the capture of the eastern region of India, that is, the area east of Kyssengje, and strive to open up the ground passage from China to the Ganges Plain as soon as possible, and send the Hong Army and the old army bound in the eastern region to the Ganges Plain to lay the foundation for the final annihilation of the Indian Army's Eastern Army Group. Second, the Nu Army and the Ao Army will directly go to Kysengje to participate in the combat operation of encircling and annihilation of the Indian Army's Eastern Army Group. As long as the Eastern Army Group is defeated, the Northeast Army Group will be defeated without a fight.

Although the two views differ, the basic idea is the same, that is, Pei Chengyi accelerated the battle process.

Unlike the Indian generals, Stark raised a question that was ignored by Indian generals when analyzing the battle situation for Lurajapani, which was what Pei Chengyi used to meet the combat needs of the two heavy armored troops. That is, the logistics support forces in Pei Chengyi's hands could not meet the combat needs.

This is indeed the case.

Before the Chi Army and the Jiu Army joined the war, Pei Chengyi had sent three main forces, namely the Old Army, the Falling Army and the Knife Army. Even if the occupants who remained in Xiliguli and the majority of the fallen troops who were responsible for the main garrison of Xiliguli, Pei Chengyi needed to provide at least two main forces with logistics support when the Knife Army had been deployed to Xiliguli. According to the conclusion drawn by the US military, Pei Chengyi supported up to three main forces to fight. Because the establishment scale of the Bi Army and the Jiu Army was extremely large, the requirements for logistics support exceeded that of the ordinary main forces, so let alone supporting the heavy armored army to fight at the same time, even if only thugs and heavy armored army were added, it would crush the logistics support system of the Chinese army.

The Chinese Army is no longer the Xiaomi and rifle army when the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there is no logistical support. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army, armed to the teeth, will be greatly reduced. Although no one denies the Chinese Army's desperate ability, neither Pei Chengyi nor Wang Yuanqing will use a battle with huge casualties to achieve the final victory.

According to Stark's analysis, the Nu Army and the Jiu Army will definitely not participate in the war.

However, Rurajapani reserved Stark's judgment.

The question is, what is the point of going to the battlefield if the Bi Army and the Ao Army do not participate in the war?

Although Stark also proposed that the Sect Army and the Ao Army were likely to go to Nepal and Bangladesh, he himself refused to believe this judgment. There was only one reason. The Sect Army and the Ao Army set out from the Shannan region and marched to Nepal and Bangladesh for hundreds of kilometers, and had to pass through the defense zone guarded by the Indian Northeast Army Group. Even if he was covered by the old army and the Order Army Air Assault Brigade, he could not pass through the Indian Army defense zone without any damage; as long as he encountered some trouble in the middle, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Will Pei Chengyi take risks?

Although the Indian and US military advisers have not been able to agree on each other, they must face the real problems.

The first decision made by Rurajapani was to keep the Third Army of the Eastern Army Group in place and no longer enter Bangladesh according to the combat plan.

It can be said that this is the most correct decision made by Rurajapani.

Regardless of the purpose of the Nu Army and the Ao Army, sending the Third Army into Bangladesh at this time will not only not achieve any results, but will also be like throwing oneself into death.

For the Indian army, the most urgent task is not to open up the passage to the eastern region to block the gap in the Ganges plain.

In this way, the eastern Indian Army Group immediately adjusted its combat plan and started a small group. The Southern Army Group of the First Army turned from attack to defense. The Second Army accelerated its speed to head north. Four divisions in the north of the Third Army assisted the First Army in combat.

Almost at the same time, all Indian troops facing Jischengje changed from attack to defense, and put on a stance to confront the Chinese army.

The problem is that simple defense will definitely not solve the problem.

Everything can be ignored, and the three airborne troops in Pei Chengyi's hands must not be ignored.

Several previous wars have proved that as long as the Chinese army launches a large-scale strategic offensive, three airborne troops will be the nightmare for all opponents.

Unless India persuades ten thousand square kilometers of land to become a military fortress, no matter how tight the defensive positions are, they cannot stop the Chinese Airborne Army. You must know that when the Airborne Army launches an attack, it will not rely on ground transportation lines to attack any location within the range of the transport aircraft.

From this perspective, the Indian army has become more passive when it moves to comprehensive defense.

Of course, Indian commanders will not ignore this key issue.

When deploying defense, the Indian commanders paid the most attention not to the sword army entrenched in Jischengje, or even the Shao army and the Ark army that did not enter the battlefield. Instead, the three airborne troops that could participate in the war at any time. For this reason, the Indian General Staff issued a request to the US Pentagon, hoping to use the US military's wargame deduction system to conduct a comprehensive deduction of the upcoming battle to determine the location that might be attacked by the airborne troops.

Without the Indian Army's request, Du Qiwei was doing this.

There is no doubt that Du Qiwei is most concerned about the three airborne troops in Pei Chengyi's hands.

In the memory of the US Secretary of Defense, the most unforgettable thing is the battle that caused the US military to be 2 kilograms during the Peninsula War, after the five elders were captured by the airborne brigade, the US military was wiped out by the entire army. The two US Marine Divisions could not slap the thugs. One airborne brigade, and all three airborne troops were dispatched. What hope does the Indian army have?

Of course, the dictionary is not the same as the past.

No matter how powerful the airborne army is, it still has its weaknesses.

Not to mention, the Airborne Army has very strict requirements on offense. No matter when, as long as the Airborne Army does not launch an attack through the ground transportation network, it must choose a target with an airport or an open area to conduct airborne, and will never choose a target with no airborne or aircraft landing operations.

In addition, the tactical maneuverability of the airborne troops after landing is very limited. They often turn to full defense after a sudden attack to seize the position, waiting for support troops. In this way, front-line commanders often use airborne troops to attack strategic targets, and only when the combat power is highly surplus, will use airborne troops to attack tactical targets.

Based on these two conditions, it is not difficult to infer that Pei Chengyi used the airborne army method.

The biggest advantage of the Indian army adjusting the battle deployment is that it provides Pei Chengyi with time to adjust the battle deployment.

In other words, after the Zhaojun and the Jijun entered the battlefield, both sides stopped large-scale military operations and began to prepare for the next fierce battle.

Just as the Pentagon used the world's fastest computer to analyze the situation, something that seemed to be fighting the ground was not very laughable.

At 8 o'clock on the 8th, the Amphibious Assault Fleet of the Republic Navy South China Sea Fleet entered Cam Ran Bay.

At the beginning, the news media did not pay attention to this matter and only made a simple report. It was not until the reporter discovered that there were 8 large amphibious warships in the amphibious assault fleet, thugs of amphibious assault ships, broken comprehensive landing ships, flagship strategic delivery ships and three large landing ships that this fleet, which had little to do with ground combat, attracted attention.

Al Jazeera then made a more detailed report, clearly mentioning that the Republic Marines, which had been deployed in Cam Ranh Bay, were boarding the amphibious assault fleet, and it was predicted that the amphibious assault fleet would leave Cam Ranh Bay at the latest day and night on the afternoon of the 8th.

Although Al Jazeera did not report the whereabouts of the amphibious assault fleet, the news immediately triggered an explosive reaction.

The ground war is not enough, is China ready to use the Marine Corps?

Obviously, no one underestimates the combat effectiveness of the Republic's Marine Corps.

Although the size of the Republic's Marine Corps is much smaller than that of the Army and much smaller than that of the United States Marine Corps, in recent years, the Marine Corps is the fastest-expanding independent armies among the six major armies in the Republic. The sword accounts for years. The Marine Corps has only one brigade, and the Marine Corps has one brigade, with tens of thousands of combatants, with a total of more than tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, which is second only to the United States Marine Corps in scale. Most importantly, the equipment level of the Republic's Marine Corps is directly aligned with the Army, rather than being almost a little worse than the Army like the United States Marine Corps.

In addition to its strong ground combat capabilities, the Republic Marine Corps also followed the US Marine Corps and formed amphibious fleets and aviation corps. In terms of administrative management, the Marine Corps' aviation corps belonged to the Navy Aviation Corps. Although there have been only a handful of difficult large-scale landing battles that the Republic Marine Corps has participated in so far. There is no glorious history like the US Marine Corps. However, in the Peninsula War and the Japanese War, the Republic Marine Corps participated in combat operations. If we look at the battles we participated in in the Near Blade Year, the Republic Marine Corps' combat experience exceeded that of the US Marine Corps.

While paying attention to the combat effectiveness of the Republic Marine Corps, Western news media are more concerned about the significance of the Marine Corps participating in the war.

In other words, all Western news media believe that the Republic's Army has no soldiers to send. Apart from recruiting retired soldiers on a large scale and forming a strategic reserve team, the only way for the Republic to increase troops to the Indian battlefield is to move out the Marines and let the Marines take on the double-position ground combat mission.

Of course, Western news media made the same mistake as the Indian army, that is, they ignored the logistics support capabilities.

When the army cannot meet the needs of the army, a large number of combat troops have to be placed in the rear. Even if the Marines are sent to the war, the Marines do not have much combat effectiveness. Although some Western military commentators have explained this, for example, the Marines mainly fight in coastal areas, and their primary task after landing is to establish temporary docks or seize ports, and after receiving maritime support, the logistics support problem of the Republic County Marines is not serious, and they can even use the Marines to provide support to the Army combat forces plagued by logistics support.

Influenced by these Western military commentators, almost all Western news media believe that the Republic will launch a limited amphibious landing operation in the northern part of the Bay of Bengal to capture a port in the region, such as the Canning Port south of Kolkata, and then use airborne troops and air assault forces to open up ground traffic lines, thereby alleviating the logistics support pressure of the Republic's Army in one fell swoop.

I have to admit that Western news media guessed half of it.

Soon, this incident also attracted Duchwie's attention.

Unlike the speculations of the news media, Duchewei believed that the Republic Marines would not fight an amphibious landing battle in the northern part of the Bay of Bengal. Not to mention anything else, the natural conditions at the mouth of the Ganges River are not suitable for landing operations, and there are too many preparations for the early stage of the landing battle. No matter how strong the Republic Marines are, they cannot board the beachhead position strictly fortified by the Indian army without any equipment. Judging from the situation on the entire Eastern Front battlefield, the benefits of landing operations can only be revealed after the landing is successful and the port is captured. Before that, landing operations will consume the pitiful support force in Pei Chengyi's hands, seriously dragging down the performance of the ground.

Duchwie's analysis is very correct and well-established.

The key question is, what is the purpose of the Republic to dispatch Marines at this time?

The first thing Duchiway thought of was to seize an island in the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. Because the Republic's land is too far from the front line, it is necessary to establish a forward base that is not subject to policies of other countries. The ideal choice is an island in the Andaman-Nicobar Islands.

However, Du Qiliang quickly rejected this idea.

After learning that there were two land brigades on board the amphibious assault fleet, Duchiwei knew that this was not a combat force.

According to the intelligence mastered by the US military, the amphibious assault fleet will be sent to the thug at a time. At the same time, Yunxun's land brigade can only compress the amount of heavy equipment it carries. Without heavy equipment, even if the Marines successfully landed ashore, they will not be able to defeat the Indian army on the island.

Soon, Duqiwei made an extremely bold guess, and was rushing to the front line with a "engineering force"

Although the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps cannot be underestimated. However, due to the influence of special combat missions, the Marine Corps' engineering corps is much larger than the Army's troops of the same level. If necessary, the Marine Corps' engineering corps will even be strengthened before combat to improve the Marine Corps' independent combat capability under the environment of simplified basic conditions.

If it was really an engineering force, Pei Chengyi's intention would be obvious.

What happened in the early morning of the Aluminum Day is that the Zhijun and Chijun went to the battlefield. Military strategists with some vision can infer Pei Chengyi's purpose of the battle.

On the night of the 8th, about 4 hours after the amphibious assault fleet left Cam Ranh Bay, Duchiwei sent the results of the Pentagon's wargame and his judgment on the future battle situation to Stark. He asked Stark to clearly state the possibility of Bangladesh declaring war on India when meeting Rurajapani.

This time, Duchewei's judgment was very accurate.

According to his prediction, the amphibious assault fleet departing from Cam Ranh Bay will head to Chittagong, and the gill army or concave army that entered eastern India before entering Bangladesh from the north. After the heavy armored army of the Chinese Army was deployed, Bangladesh will declare war on India. In addition to strengthening the port's throughput capacity, the main task of the Chinese Marine Corps arriving in Chittagong is to take over the transportation line from Chittagong to northern and western India. As long as the Chinese army obtains Bangladesh's ground transportation network, the logistical support problem that has always restricted Pei Chengyi will be solved. In addition, Duqiwei also predicts that

It is estimated that the witch army or the plundering army will turn to Siliguri near Guwahati and then head to Nepal, or let the Hong army stationed in Siliguri go to Nepal. The reason for Duqiwei's guess is very simple. It only takes a heavy armored army to defend the military points on the Bangladesh border. Based on this, Duqiwei determined that as long as a heavy armored army arrives in Nepal, Nepal will declare war on India; after receiving support from Nepal, Pei Chengyi will obtain a second material transportation channel, combining land and sea transportation. Pei Chengyi has enough ability to allow all ground troops on the Eastern Front battlefield to participate in combat operations.

At this point, anyone wants to see what will happen next.

In fact, Duchiwei's predictions have begun to be fulfilled. Several hours before he sent the message, the Huo Army had already bypassed Guwahati under the cover of night, passed through Siliguri, and entered Nepal. It was on its way to Kathmandu. It is expected that the vanguard of the Blue Army will arrive in Kathmandu at about 8th.

Upon receiving the news from Duchwi, Stark did not dare to delay any time and immediately set off for the Indian Prime Minister's Office.
