Day and night, the whole of India went crazy. Half a day passed, and hundreds of thousands of Indian troops did not find an assault force with only a few thousand people!

How big is the combat area, but only a few thousand square kilometers. With thousands of officers and soldiers and thousands of chariots assault troops without the ability to go to the world, it will not be possible to disappear out of thin air. Not to mention anything else, so many chariots that are unique in appearance and can be recognized at a glance will definitely not be able to hide all of them.

Where did that assault force go?

Rurajapani is considering this issue. Gujarad is considering this issue, and the military and civilians in New Delhi are also considering this issue.

News without the assault forces is the worst.

Although the Indian government tried its best to block the news, there was no airtight wall in the world. The news that a large armored force was about to attack New Delhi spread in the evening of the same day. It can be said that the Indian government's blockade of news had a counterproductive effect. Because there was no correct source of information, the rumors became increasingly terrifying. Many New Delhi citizens even believed that the Chinese army had surrounded New Delhi and were about to launch a general attack.

Panic spread rapidly, and as soon as the night fell, New Delhi was in chaos.

Citizens with some ability escaped to the suburbs with their families, and those who were not able could only stay at home. Those who were afraid that the world would be in chaos would take advantage of the situation. Before the Indian government responded, before Lurajapani ordered the defenders to suppress the riots and could execute the riots on the spot in accordance with the wartime laws, at least thousands of shops were looted and hundreds of people died in the riots. Then the army entered the city to maintain order. Hundreds of rioters and civilians were shot dead by the military police.

That night, Rurajapani announced the abstinence of evil in New Delhi

The chaotic situation was under control. However, the fear in the hearts of citizens became increasingly swelling.

The building is about to collapse, and no one wants to stay and wait for death.

More and more citizens choose to open New Delhi again to escape this city that is about to be destroyed by war.

Panic soon spread from the people to the army. The phenomenon of deserters in many reserve divisions formed by the newly formed network surged. Although Lulajapani signed a wartime decree, officers could shoot deserters on the spot. However, when deserters still have a glimmer of hope for survival, staying in New Delhi can only be a dead end.

At this time, what New Delhi needs most is not military law, but a disinfectant that can stabilize people's hearts.

The problem is that neither Rurajapani nor Gujarad have such news.

Although there is enough intelligence to prove that the Chinese army that broke through the defense lines of Gwalior and Agra is not large in size, with only a few thousand people. It is impossible to capture New Delhi. But in the evening of that day, the three main field troops of the Chinese army on the Western Front were in combat readiness. The main force of the Pin Army arrived at the Bernighal Pass and led the army and the army to assemble near the India-Pakistan border. Whether Lulajapani believes or not, they must recognize the reality. That is, the Chinese army on the Eastern Front battlefield is only a thousand meters away from New Delhi, and the Chinese army on the Western Front battlefield is only a thousand meters away from New Delhi. If Pei Chengyi plans to attack New Delhi. The three field troops plus the thugs to strengthen the brigade-level assault troops, it is enough to tear open the New Delhi defense line that has not been completely built and attack New Delhi within a few days

Before you determine how to hit, you must first determine the right one.

The Chinese army has already set its sights on the verge of attacking New Delhi.

The question is, the battle in Bhopal has begun, will the Chinese army attack two cities at the same time?

Rurajapani dared not make a decision easily. Gujarad could not make a judgment immediately.

Although the US adviser repeatedly emphasized that the primary purpose of the Chinese army is to capture Bhopal, not to capture New Delhi, Rurajapani and Gujarad must consider one issue, that is, the Indian army will definitely defend New Delhi to the death, and the Chinese army will definitely occupy New Delhi. If Pei Chengyi concludes that after the Indian army has deployed its defense and attacked New Delhi, the Chinese army will pay an extremely heavy price in urban warfare, he may choose to attack New Delhi first. Of course, it is not that Pei Chengyi will give up Bhopal for New Delhi. According to Gujarad's analysis, Pei Chengyi is very likely to use the Bhopal army to consume the vitality of the Indian army in Bhopal, and wait until the small army and the army that lead the army to occupy New Delhi. Use the Brown Army who has been fully rested,

The main field troops such as the army, Diao Army, and the army attacked Bhopal. By the end of the month, Pei Chengyi would also acquire three airborne troops of the occupying army, the old army, and the mouth army, and swept the sword army in the northeast. In this way, even if the Chinese army had to pay a great price in Bhopal, Pei Chengyi could still advance westward after occupying Bhopal, push the front to the Arabian Sea coastal areas and meet with the Eastern Front Corps. More importantly, according to this strategy of play, the Chinese army could cross the Nalmoda River after occupying Bhopal and place the main force on the south battlefield without having to turn back to attack New Delhi. From the perspective of the entire war, doing so can not only avoid the logistical problems caused by the large-scale mobilization of the main force, but also speed up the war process.

If you only look at surface analysis, Gujarad's speculation makes a lot of sense.

From Pei Chengyi's standpoint, being able to conquer New Delhi before capturing Bhopal is undoubtedly the best result.

The question is, is it possible to conquer New Delhi first?

It seems that the three armies of the Chinese army on the Western Front are very threatening to New Delhi. In fact, these three armies basically have no ability to attack New Delhi.

Not to mention anything else, the logistics support issues of the three armies are enough to make Pei Chengyi give up the first attack on New Delhi.

The Republic's Army can be invincible on the battlefield on the Eastern Front and push the front line thousands of kilometers west in one breath. In addition to the attack capabilities of the main combat troops on the front line, it is very important to have a steady increase in logistics support... If the Shiguo does not have sufficient logistical support, the Republic's Army will stop in Varanasi.

Including the three armies on the Western Front battlefield, the main combat units of the Republic Army were only thugs, field troops and three airborne troops. The total strength of the less than 10,000 was included in the fighters of the Army Aviation and Air Force, and there were only 10,000. The support units that provided logistical support to these troops were as many as 10,000. Among them, the Republic Army had strongest ten thousand, including the logistics personnel left behind by the field troops, Pakistan had Wu Wan and Bangladesh Army had ten thousand. If the troops used to control the occupied areas and the Nepalese Army that were about to enter India to participate in the war, the support units exceeded those of the combat personnel. If the calculation was strictly calculated, only the combatants participating in the combat operations were included in the support units, and the ratio of combat personnel to support personnel was 6.

To be honest, this ratio is not high.

During the Southeast Asian War, every fighter needed a thug. Ming's support personnel were very funny with mainly air combat and sea combat. Even if they looked around the world, the proportion was not high. In the Iraq War, the number of support personnel of each US fighter was as attractive as possible; in the Afghan War, this proportion was as high as red; even in the Iran War, it reached the old.

The reduction in the proportion of the support force is a big joke with the improvement of the performance of the transport tools. For example, in the Peninsula War, the main means of transport of the Republic's Army's support force were trains and trucks, and the main means of transport in this war had become transport aircraft. Air transport accounted for the total transportation calculated by the thug "ton kilometers", and the proportion in tactical transportation exceeded that of the strategic transportation. Compared with land transport, air transport has two obvious advantages: one is that the transportation speed is fast and it is more than twice the force of land transport. The other is that the number of people occupies is only about the left and right. In other words, Xiaopui's battlefield transportation is 1.5.

To achieve the same transportation volume, even if the mileage of the highway is farther than the actual distance, at least a concave truck is needed to transport materials to the front line in a relay manner. It can be seen that transport aircraft saves not only time, but also human resources. Although the cost of air freight is higher than that of land freight, and the salary-sharing truck runs the same distance, after the full implementation of electrification, the cost of air freight is already within an acceptable range, especially in high-intensity military operations. The time and manpower saved by air freight have the effect of reducing costs. Comprehensive calculations, the cost of air freight is not much higher than that of land freight.

The improvement in logistics support efficiency is not much related to the basic war idea.

In other words, frontline commanders still have to consider logistics support first. Only when logistics support is ensured, the commanders can make combat operations.

For combat operations in new attacks, the biggest problem is logistics support.

Because we concentrated our efforts to win the decisive battle on the Eastern Front. The troops on the Western Front were mainly garrisoned, so when Pei Chengyi ordered the three armies on the Western Front to enter the state of combat readiness, the logistics support was not in place at all. In other words, even if Pei Chengyi issued an order to attack New Delhi, the three armies could not reach New Delhi.

In addition to the logistics support troops for transporting materials, there are also issues with combat materials.

According to the overall war plan, after achieving a decisive victory on the Eastern Front battlefield, combat supplies began to be transferred to the Western Front battlefield. Because combat troops were needed to be transferred at the same time, combat supplies were mainly transported to the Western Front through sea transportation. The maritime transportation cycle was the longest, and the supplies could only be sent to Karachi and then sent to the front line by railway. Influenced by several remaining submarines of the Indian Navy, the fleet transporting supplies would follow the fleet to the Rabbe Sea.

In this way, the fleet will enter the Indian Ocean after the fleet leaves the Bay of Bengal. The combat materials can only arrive in Karachi at the earliest in the early month of the month and be delivered to the frontline troops in the middle of the month. The entire material transportation work is strictly carried out according to the plan. It cannot be advanced.

In other words, the three armies on the Western Front battlefield did not have enough combat supplies.

It can be seen that no matter how great Pei Chengyi's ambition is, he can only attack Bhopal first. The attack on New Delhi will definitely not start before the middle of the month.

Gujarad's inference was nowhere to be bounded. But it happened to be right in Lurajapani's appetite.

The Chinese army was approaching, defending New Delhi became the top priority, and moving the capital became a natural thing.

At the strong request of naval and air force generals such as Fernandez, Rurajapani signed a wartime administrative order to move the capital to Haidbala on day and night. The capital relocation work began on the morning of the Blade Day. The first thing that was transferred was not the Prime Minister's Office but the Supreme Command of the Indian Army and the Command of the Military Branches. Then there were the war mobilization agencies, the administrative agencies of the central government, the Presidential Office, and finally it was the Prime Minister's Office.

It can be said that moving is a decision that has to be made, and it is also a decision with very serious consequences.

In order to let the first train transporting personnel leave New Delhi after dawn, all work on moving the capital began in full swing that night.

Although Lula was afraid that Ni had already announced that he would defend Zhenhuang, the government's move to the capital still caused even greater panic.

The Prime Minister is ready to flee to Hydebala. Can New Delhi still hold on?

It can be said that the night of August was the most chaotic night in New Delhi since the outbreak of the war.

In order to prevent the thugs from hitting the railway station and affecting the capital relocation work, Rurajapani asked the New Delhi garrison troops to enter the railway station, authorizing the garrison troops to open fire on the thugs who were hitting the railway station when the warning was invalid, and to maintain order at all costs.

The order resulted in thousands of people being shot and killed outside the military blockade at the New Delhi Railway Station.

There was no hope of impacting the railway station, and desperate citizens began to spread to the suburbs.

The problem is that at this time, the Indian army in New Delhi is stepping up the construction of defensive positions, while the peripheral troops are fully looking for the Chinese Army's assault forces. If citizens flock to the suburbs without control, it will definitely affect the construction of the positions and the actions of the assault forces.

As a last resort, Rurajapani raised the martial law level and only those who held the pass order could leave New Delhi.

The pass order was issued directly by the Prime Minister's Office. Most of them were issued to the garrison troops. Not to mention unarmed civilians, even soldiers from ordinary troops did not have pass orders.

At this time, Rurajapani's intentions have been revealed.

Although it was cruel, he had no other choice. India needed a bloody battle. It needed a battle that could make all Indians rise and resist. Although the sacrifice of tens of millions of citizens in New Delhi was very cruel, it would be worth it to make Indians pick up weapons by this.

Just like the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II, the Soviet army used machine guns to force the soldiers who had just picked up their weapons to rush to the German fire blockade line. Those soldiers were dead when they advanced, and retreated. At this time, India also needed a defense battle like Stalingrad, using the blood of the Indians to awaken the fighting spirit of the Indians.

I have to say that Rulajapani started to fight desperately.

The most important thing in the martial law he issued was "indiscriminate treatment"

Whether rich or poor, whether they are powerful or unpowered, whether they are poor or noble, whether they are soldiers or civilians, whether they are men or women, whether they are elderly or children, whether they are citizens or parliamentarians. As long as they do not receive the pass order issued by the Prime Minister's Office, no one can pass the blockade of the garrison troops.

According to outside speculation, Rurajapani mostly wants to make the poor citizens who account for the absolute majority of them benefit. Staying and defending New Delhi is the responsibility of everyone. Things that determine personal society during peacetime have no value in war. As long as they are New Delhi citizens, they must stay.

The question is, how much effect does this have?

For ordinary citizens in low society, they only want to leave New Delhi with their only little property, instead of working for the officials who used to be arrogant and the nobles who squeezed their hard-earned money. For the interest groups that used to hold India's lifeline, they only want to leave New Delhi, instead of obeying the call of the Prime Minister. They defend New Delhi side by side with the penniless poor people.

Indiscriminate treatment cannot change the Indians' ideas and concepts, and can only force some people into the state of death.

For the desperate people, their enemies are not the Chinese army that is hundreds of kilometers away. They are the Prime Minister who prevents them from leaving New Delhi and keeps them to die.

Reality is cruel. Rurajapani is too much

Although the situation has not yet developed to its worst point, the garrison troops still obey the Prime Minister's command and the field troops deployed in the suburbs have not been greatly affected, but as the anger towards the Prime Minister gradually heats up, the situation will sooner or later lose control as the Republic's army approaches step by step.

For Rurajan, he didn't even notice these changes.

Given the situation at that time, the first thing Rurajapani focused on was the elusive assault force.

According to Gujarad's judgment, the main task of the assault troops is not to attack New Delhi, but to attract attention. As long as the assault troops restrain the New Delhi defenders, the three main field troops that were eyeing the north and west will set off and attack outside New Delhi as quickly as possible.

There is only one way to deal with it, that is, to eliminate the assault troops as quickly as possible.

Only in this way can we redeploy the defense line before the enemy's main force arrives, turning New Delhi into the grave of Chinese soldiers.

Rurajapani followed Gujarad's advice and asked all the defenders south of New Delhi to participate in the combat operations of searching and encircling the assault forces. He annihilated the assault forces at all costs.

There is no doubt that Rurajapani is even more pessimistic than Gujarad.

The severe pain of the citizens of New Delhi told Rurajapani. Don’t disperse the main force. Even if the assault troops enter New Delhi, in addition to the absolutely loyal garrison troops, the military and civilians of New Delhi will immediately give up resistance. If the assault troops cannot be blocked from the city of New Delhi, New Delhi will not be the grave of Chinese soldiers, but the end of the Indian central government.

That's true, in Rurajapani's view, killing the assault forces is a hundred times more important than defending Bhopal.

The question is, is the Indian army capable of killing the assault forces?

No news about the assault forces was received for the whole night.

It was not until dawn that Lurajapani received a message from the Army Command. The assault troops were found. To be precise, the assault troops appeared on their own initiative!
