Ban Chengyi had a midnight snack. When he returned to the tactical command center, the large-scale war ended.

The first thing that collapsed was not the Bhopal Army, but the Fatahpur Army. This result made the officers and soldiers of the Armored Assault Brigade, who swore to "revenge" to death, vomited out the anger in their chests. Although the retreat order was issued by Pei Chengyi, and it was for the overall situation, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Armored Assault Brigade, it was definitely a great shame for the "first brigade" of the Sword Army to retreat repeatedly in front of a group of mobs. In fact, the officers and soldiers of the Armored Assault Brigade of the Sword should not be happy, because it was not them who defeated the Fatahpur Army, but long-range artillery.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, after arriving in Banda, A did not launch an assault immediately, but left the highway and cut off all roads from Banda to the outside world by off-road maneuvering. Because it was too barely necessary to use a thug to deal with the Fatahpur Group Army, which still had more than ten thousand troops, and the Air Brigade was not threatened and A Assault Brigade did not call for support, Yuan Chenhao temporarily adjusted the tactical arrangements so that the original Jigo Armored Assault Brigade could take off Banda before dawn of the sword.

It has to be admitted that there is also competition among artillery brigades that do not need to go to the front line of the battlefield.

Seeing that the Digong Artillery Brigade was so happy, the other artillery brigades felt bad. After receiving the combat order issued by the deputy commander-in-chief, the three artillery brigades not only used all electromagnetic cannons, but also played their best. Within an hour, they threw 30,000 tons of shells at Banda. If Yuan Chenhao had not discovered it in time, he might have probably wiped out all the shells from Manigpur before he issued the order to stop the shelling.

This round of artillery bombarded Banda into ruins and shattered the morale of the Fatahpur Army.

While the Armored Assault Brigade was preparing to attack, two Indian colonels holding white flags walked out of Banda and surrendered to the Armored Assault Brigade instead of the bombed army commander.

This result was both within Pei Chengyi's expectations and beyond Pei Chengyi's expectations.

According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, after concentrating his efforts on annihilation of the Bhopal Army, unless the army is given up to participate in the war, the combat troops on the battlefield will not be able to fight another tough battle in Banda. In response to this situation, Pei Chengyi had long decided to use artillery fire instead of the offensive troops, and through fierce artillery fire, forcing the Fatahpur Army to surrender. Because the Fatahpur Army is all second-line troops and reserve troops, not only has weak combat effectiveness, but also the fighting spirit and morale of the officers and soldiers are not very good. As long as the artillery bombing reaches a certain level and the fighting spirit of the Indian army is destroyed, the Indian army will naturally choose to surrender. It is precisely because Pei Chengyi asked the cutting armored assault brigade to first cut off the road from Banda to the outside world, avoiding the old ten thousand Indian troops breaking through, and repeating the scene of the Third Army in Jamshedpur.

What Pei Chengyi did not expect was that the Fatahpur army was so indifferent.

The artillery bombardment during the thugs made the old ten thousand Indian troops become prisoners of war. If the war was so easy to fight, only a few million tons of shells were needed to make India surrender.

The surrender of the Fatahpur army in Banda also illustrates India's problems.

Although the Indian government has always advocated in the international community that India has the largest population in the world, and its population structure is very reasonable, with the largest military human resources in the world, and can mobilize the world's largest army in war, but when morale and fighting spirit cannot be guaranteed and soldiers dare not fight against their opponents, no matter how many soldiers are mobilized, even if they arm all the thugs, 700 million Indians, it will be a mess, not a steel army!

Compared with the Fatahpur Army, the Bhopa Army, composed of the main force and the second-line troops, is much more tenacious.

After discovering that Damo was occupied, the second-line infantry division accelerated the marching speed. For this division, it was undoubtedly lucky during the day, because the artillery fire of the Republic's army was concentrated in other directions, Yuan Chenhao did not pay much attention to the second-line infantry division, and the armored assault brigade did not take the opponent seriously, so he did not focus on it. At night, the good luck of the second-line infantry division was used up.

In the evening, the vanguard of the Second Line Infantry Division arrived at the eastern suburbs of Damo.

Due to the limitations of its own offensive power and night combat capabilities, the Indian army did not launch a counterattack immediately, but instead built a defensive position in the eastern suburbs of Damo. Although this move made people feel that the Indian army was waiting for the arrival of the main force, according to Yuan Chenhao's analysis, the Indian army would launch an attack after dawn.

The second-line infantry division has a total force of more than 60,000, and it is not a small army no matter how you look at it.

Instead of letting the Indian army take the lead, it is better to attack first. No matter what, there are two lines of defense behind the A Assault Brigade. Besides, if something happens, such as a second-line infantry division giving up the attack and adopting the tactic of defending and waiting for aid. By the time the Indian army builds a complete defensive position and prepares for defense, the Filament Armored Assault Brigade will have to pay a greater price.

After making this judgment, Yuan Chenhao immediately ordered the 7th Armored Assault Brigade to launch an attack after dark.

Although there are a lot of troubles in attacking at night, the 7th Knife Armored Assault Brigade is better at night battles.

In order to prevent the Indian army from breaking through the chaos, Yuan Chenhao not only allowed the old Air Turkish Brigade to defend Shahpur and Sager, but also asked the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft to send an Air Turkish battalion of the Air Turkish Mind Brigade to Damo after the departure of the Athletic Assault Brigade to Damo, helping the logistics forces of the 7th Armored Assault Brigade to strengthen Damo's defense.

This deployment played a very critical role.

After the battle started, the A-Assault Brigade took advantage of the opportunity that the Indian army had not had time to build a position. He broke through the Indian army's defense line. The meridians "just merely" knocked down the Indian army's command center, and then dropped the Indian army's division headquarters by dispersing assault. The Indian army, which had lost unified command, became a headless snake. As the saying goes, the trees were scattered and the Suns were scattered. In the absence of hope of breaking through collectively, the second-line infantry divisions were dispersed into several small units to break westward.

The battle quickly turned into a sweeping war.

In the end, the A-Assault Brigade only caught less than 10,000 prisoners of war. The Concaodao Indian Army was captured by the Air Tube Battalion of the Air Tube and the Logistics of the A-Assault Brigade near Damo. The A-Assault Indian Army was arrested in Shahpur and Sager respectively. The last Indian army that surrendered did not walk out of the mountainous area east of Sager until the morning of the live day and surrendered to the Republican army patrolling the road. This Indian army was not without weapons and ammunition, nor was it injured. Hunger forced them to put down their weapons.

There is nothing to praise in this battle.

Only Hong Gong was arrested, and nearly half of the Indian army escaped from the thugs and dirt roads. According to Pei Chengyi's comments on this battle, if Yuan Chenhao was a little patient and asked the A Assault Brigade to launch an attack after dawn, nearly half of the Indian army would not have been allowed to escape. Of course, Pei Chengyi did not mean to accuse Yuan Chenhao of Yuan Chenhao, but only used this to teach Yuan Chenhao that timely and accurate commands could achieve the greatest victory. In fact, Pei Chengyi made the same mistake at this stage of Yuan Chenhao.

For example, in the battle to annihilate two US Marine Divisions in the Peninsula War, if Pei Chengyi was a little patient, he could kill the Dinggang Air Assault Division; in the second battle, he made the same mistake and let the 7th Infantry Division go. No one was born a general, and no general would be born to fight. No matter how outstanding the general was, he was honed in the fire of war. Only by constantly absorbing the teachings of failure and constantly summarizing the experience of victory can he continue to make progress and become an invincible and victorious general.

Among the three battles, the one that fought the most difficult was the Digong Armored Assault Brigade.

Although Pei Chengyi was ready to let the Digong Armored Assault Brigade fight the Indian Army in the bloody battle. When he handed over the tactical command to Yuan Chenhao, the battle situation was much better than he expected, but the final result was still a little unacceptable to Pei Chengyi.

It was not that the 7th Armored Assault Brigade was not fighting well enough, but that it was fighting too hard.

Too brave means being brave but not planning.

Modern warfare is not fighting for muscles, but wisdom.

If everything is carried out according to Pei Chengyi's arrangement, the battle against the three main divisions should be very easy. The 3rd Armored Assault Brigade of the Thunderbolt does not have to fight with the Indian army. It only needs to make full use of Mehel's defensive position to defeat the Bhopal Group Army with the assistance of air support and artillery fire support. After the Bhopal Group Army is defeated by the air strike guided artillery fire strike, the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade launches another counterattack and can easily achieve the final victory.

Yuan Chenhao knew Pei Chengyi's tactical intentions. When he was commanding, he intervened in the operations of the 3rd Armored Assault Brigade many times, requiring the 7th Armored Assault Brigade to adopt the tactic of "the enemy advances, we retreat, and we retreat, we advance" to guard the Mehel position with infantry and concentrate the armored forces. When the Indian army attacked, he took the initiative to retreat to the position guarded by infantry, and used the position to block the Indian army's edge. When the Indian army had to retreat, he used the armored force to launch a counterattack. This was repeated until the Indian army's offensive power was exhausted, and then all of them were dispatched to defeat the Indian army.

This tactic is not difficult to operate. The infantry who is good at defense stays on the position and the tank troops who are good at assault are mobile combat. With the tactical maneuverability of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade, it can definitely lead the Indian army's nose, allowing the Bhopal Army to shed the last drop of blood in Mehl.

When it really started fighting, everything was in chaos.

In the first tactical counterattack, the tank troops of the armored assault brigade were unable to withdraw the defensive positions after repelling the Indian army's offensive forces as required, but instead raided around the battlefield. If the fleet of the land aviation aircraft arrived in time and used bombs to drive the Indian army's armored forces back, I am afraid that this completely messy tactical counterattack would have cost the life of the armored assault brigade.

During the second tactical counterattack, the tank troops of the 1st Armored Assault Brigade made the same mistake again. This time there was no good luck. Although the long-range artillery provided timely support, the artillery did not dare to provide close-range artillery support in the absence of direct guidance, and could not deal with the Indian armored troops entangled with the 1st Armored Assault Brigade. When the small-mouth aircraft group of tactical aviation bombed the Indian armored troops, the 1st Armored Assault Brigade lost at least the ugly main battle tank.

When it reached the third tactical counterattack, the Digong Armored Assault Brigade still made a rash mistake.

Making three consecutive mistakes is not a matter of command. No matter how arrogant the officers and soldiers of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade are, they should be afraid of them after suffering two losses.

After the war, Mu Chengyi had to admit that he had no consideration when arranging tactics.

The biggest problem is to concentrate the tank troops of the still-armored assault brigade. The biggest problem is that there are not enough tanks, but command chaos. There are combat battalions in the entire brigade, including 6 tank battalions, 3 mechatronic battalions, tank battalions have ports, tank companies, and 2 tank companies in the mechatronic battalions, which are blade tank companies, and each tank company thugs the Buddha tanks, and a total of tanks are swallowed. Under normal circumstances, the tank company obeys the command of the battalion headquarters. After the organization is disrupted, the tank company directly obeys the command of the brigade headquarters. The staff officers of the brigade headquarters do not have the swordsman, and there are only 6 combat staff responsible for assisting the brigade commander to command battles. They cannot command a tank company at the same time.

Many people believe that 30 tank companies are together is a powerful force.

But many people have overlooked one thing, that is, the tank company fights on its own, and that is a piece of loose sand.

If the officers and soldiers of the Digong Armored Assault Brigade were not qualified and equipped enough, they would probably not have had a few tanks left after three tactical counterattacks.

The only thing that is thankful is that air support and fire support are both timely and fierce.

After three tactical counterattacks by the Duong Armored Assault Brigade, the main division of the Bhopal Army had lost its fighting spirit.

After the third tactical counterattack was over, the Indian army never organized an effective attack. In order to avoid losing more tanks, Yuan Chenhao ordered the 7th Armored Assault Brigade to use small-scale tactical counterattack to restrain the Indian army without launching a large-scale attack, and not give the Indian army a chance to breathe.

Inadvertently, Yuan Chenhao found a solution to the problem.

When conducting a small-scale tactical counterattack, the Armored Assault Brigade did not make any mistakes.

This also confirms Pei Chengyi's judgment after the war, that is, too many combat units need to be commanded, causing the command system to be disordered, resulting in each unit fighting on its own. The thugs, the scale counterattack, generally investing 3 to kilograms, and the tank company adopts the tactic of fighting and running. With the command ability of the brigade headquarters, there is no problem in controlling 3 to 1 combat units at the same time.

When Pei Chengyi returned to the tactical command center, Yuan Chenhao had already issued an order to the Digong Armored Assault Brigade.

It seemed that the battle would end soon, Pei Chengyi did not make too much adjustments to Yuan Chenhao's arrangements, but asked Yuan Chenhao to continue commanding the battle.

On the evening of Yaoyao, Pei Chengyi did a very important thing, which was to evaluate the combat effectiveness of each army.

It can be seen from this that Pei Chengyi is already considering the battle after annihilation of the Bhopal Army and the Fatahpur Army.

The occupation of Fatahpur is a foregone conclusion. Even if the airborne thugs and brigades are withdrawn at this time, the Indian army will not be able to recover Fatahpur. The occupation of Allahappabad is only a matter of time. With the two Indian troops being wiped out, even if the concave army does nothing, Allahappabad's defenders will surrender after they have run out of ammunition and food.

The question now is, which direction will we go next.

Before thinking about this issue, Pei Chengyi must figure out how many troops there are to use.

The fallen army will definitely not be able to continue fighting. Even if the merits are successful, there is no hope for the army to be released. It will probably not be possible to recover the combat effectiveness until the beginning of the month of the gust. Diao army is still active near Jamshedpur, and even if it is transferred immediately, it will be necessary to rest as soon as possible. Wanjun and Huo army must stay in the Northeast to clean up the mess, and they will not be able to escape for a while. The three airborne troops are not in ideal condition, at most each has thugs. One air brigade can participate in the next round of battle. The Mi army and the Blade army must stay in the Bay of Bengal coast, and no other army can replace them. After this battle, even if the sword army can continue to fight, they cannot go deep into the enemy's backbone alone.

This result disappointed Pei Chengyi a little.

Without a reserve team, it is indeed a headache.

You know, Pei Chengyi has an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to make India bleed.

With limited troops, Pei Chengyi still insisted on launching the "junction battle." It was not that he wanted to kill a few more ten thousand Indian troops, but the key was the word "junction".

The Indian army's southern defense line and the northern defense line are one horizontal and one vertical, and Bhopal is the intersection of the two defense lines.

After killing Bhopal Group Army, even if India can increase troops for Bhopal in time, it is impossible to create a main division out of thin air. In other words, Bhopal is very empty at this time. If Bhopal can be captured in one fell swoop, it will not only occupy the central city in India's hinterland, but also tear open the two strategic lines of defense of the Indian army in one fell swoop. More importantly, after occupying Bhopal, Pei Chengyi can bypass New Delhi, and even do not care about Pakistan, so that the Pakistani army will occupy New Delhi. The Republic's army will push from Bhopal to the west with all its might.

In and attack Mumbai, facing the Arabian Sea, complete the strategic cutting of India and realize the strategic encirclement and suppression of southern India. As long as you successfully take this step, not to mention the large-scale military operation ending at the end of the year, Pei Chengyi is even sure to complete a large-scale strategic offensive before the day of the year of injury, and hand over the next task of eliminating the remnants of the Indian army to the Allied forces. For the Republic soldiers, this is undoubtedly a great thing, because it means that the Republic soldiers can go home to celebrate the Spring Festival with their relatives.

What a tempting Bhopal!

Although this name often reminds people of the disaster created by Western monopoly enterprises in the Blade Age, no one can deny Bhopal's strategic position at this time.

Whoever controls Bhopal will control the lifeblood of India.

Pei Chengyi's purpose was to capture Bhopal by using almost all his strength to win this battle.

Unfortunately, Pei Chengyi does not have enough troops in his hands.

Even if there is an army with complete combat effectiveness, it can defeat Bhopal and make India lose its chance to fight to the death.

If it were someone else, they might give up the idea of ​​going home to celebrate the Spring Festival, but Pei Chengyi is not someone else, nor is he the kind of person who retreats in a desperate situation.

Although it was Pei Chengyi's idea to go home to spend the Spring Festival with his wife and daughter, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, he had to be responsible for those soldiers who were bloody on the battlefield, and hoped that every Republic soldier who was still active on the battlefield could return to his relatives and return to his warm home.

Pei Chengyi did not give up, but turned his attention to a main field army watching the fun.
