When the Jingding battle plan was planned, Pei Chengyi was based on quick attacks and fierce attacks. He dispatched the witch army to participate in the war and explained the importance of attacking Bhopal to the head of state. He was all in order to launch combat operations against Bhopal as soon as possible and prevent the Indian army from having enough time to strengthen Bhopal's defense.

It can be said that when the Indian army invaded Nepal, Mu Chengyi knew that he had to quickly capture Bhopal.

For this reason, Pei Chengyi also made a simple wargame deduction with Yuan Chenhao. The difference is that it was not Yuan Chenhao who played Du Qiwei this time, but Pei Chengyi. The deduction result strengthened Pei Chengyi's idea. If Bhopal cannot be captured quickly, the significance of attacking Bhopal will be greatly reduced.

From the perspective of the entire war, attacking Bhopal is not because of how important Bhopal is, but occupying Bhopal can greatly shorten the war time. In other words, Bhopal is only. It is not the end. If you cannot quickly advance westward after occupying Bhopal, sweep the northern bank of the Nalmoda River, and cut off the Indian land in half, then attacking Bhopal is only a battle-level offensive action and cannot have a strategic effect. To achieve strategic results, you cannot invest too much troops in Bhopal. You must leave enough combat troops and launch a large-scale strategic offensive after occupying Bhopal. If you want to occupy Bhopal with the least amount of troops, the only way is to occupy Bhopal before the Indian army strengthens Bhopal's defense. You can launch an attack as fast as possible.

It can be said that the entire tactical idea is very clear and simple.

It is not so easy to implement.

After the Armored Brigade captured the Eda faction, Pei Chengyi ordered the Air Force to bomb Bhopal in full swing. He also clearly required the continuous bombing of Bhopal to not give the Bhopal defenders a chance to breathe a breath. To this end, not only did the tactical aviation troops be fully dispatched, but even the strategic aviation troops participated in the battle. Although the continuous bombing was unlikely to destroy the Indian army's defensive positions, it could cause great psychological pressure to the Indian army, so that the Indian army could not get clam breath; the spirit was always in a state of high tension. Soldiers were also human beings, and if they were not relaxed, they would collapse sooner or later.

The Air Force is doing its best. The Land Airlines is not idle either.

Starting from the night of the day, Land Airlines began to focus on attacking the armored forces of the Bhopal garrison. Entering Japan, Land Airlines adjusted its bombing operations and began to focus on bombing permanent defense fortifications on Indian positions. Although the bombing force of the Land Airlines is not as strong as that of the Air Force due to factors such as the combat radius and bomb loading capabilities of the fighter jets, the bombing force of the Land Airlines is not as strong as that of the Air Force when attacking key targets, which are specifically used to perform low-altitude strike missions than any tactical fighter. In order to improve the efficiency of the strike, Land Airlines even dispatched a few long-range unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to guide the targets for the attack aircraft group.

Continuous thugs and the bombing throughout the day has achieved very good results.

When the troops summoned their troops to march south from Edavao, they basically encountered no resistance.

Before the ground troops attacked Bhopal, Pei Chengyi asked the combat staff to count the bombing results, compared them with the Indian army's defense deployment provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and determined how many targets were destroyed and how many targets were still to be destroyed. Then, the coordinates of the targets that needed to be destroyed were sent to long-range artillery and attacked during the artillery preparation stage.

Although in the eyes of most staff members, the commander-in-chief did not have any pressure, as if it was just a small task to win Bhopal, Pei Chengyi has been worried about one problem, that is, how strong is Bhopal's defense.

Edavao's battle proves that the Indian army has mastered the best way to build defensive positions.

Since a solid defensive position was built in Edavao, there was no reason why the Indian army did not build the same defensive position in Bhopal.

Most importantly, Bhopal is not Edavao!

As the capital of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal is a megacity with a population of more than 10,000 yuan. According to international standards, cities with a population of more than 10,000 yuan are all megacities. Because they are located in the plain area of ​​the north bank of the Nalmoda River, the urban area of ​​Bhopal is more than twice the population than Kolkata, which is more than twice the population, Kolkata is located at the mouth of the Ganges River. Affected by the geographical conditions of the estuary delta, the urban area is not very large, reaching 4 square kilometers. If several small and medium-sized satellite cities are included, the total population of Bhopal is close to 40,000. The urban area exceeds Liekou square kilometers. The Indian army's defense range exceeds Dangong square kilometers.

It is no easy task to attack such a large area.

More importantly, Pei Chengyi cannot attack Bhopal by attacking Edavao, that is to say, special bombs cannot be used in Bhopal, or at least special bombs cannot be used in the city.

The turmoil in Kolkata is not over yet. If you get into trouble in Bhopal, it is definitely not Tang Yinglong who takes responsibility.

Sometimes, Mu Chengyi has to admire the enemy's wisdom.

In addition to the old Indian military advisors, the international journalist group, including several free reporters, was also "guarding" Bhopal.

According to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, these reporters were invited by India to go to Bhopal, and nominally reported to the world that the Indian army would swear to guard Bhopal to the death, but in fact they were used to deal with special bombs in the Republic. Not to mention killing reporters, as long as the special bombs landed in Bhopal, the Republic would not be able to take any more money.

Although Xiang Yinghui did not give any special instructions, Pei Chengyi knew that special bombs should never be used in Bhopal.

Without special bombs, it would take several days to capture the Indian army's defensive positions of Danwa square kilometers, even if a few more troops were invested.

There is no doubt that what the Indian army wants is to gain these few days.

During the night of the day, the Wu army had just launched an attack, and Pei Chengyi received a battle report from Tang Yinglong. Bhopal's Indian army was very positioned, but conventional tactics were difficult to ensure the speed of the attack. Although he was mentally prepared, Pei Chengyi still felt a headache.

Because Bhopal was the ultimate goal of the army summoned. Tang Yinglong did not ask the troops to stop the attack. Instead, he advanced steadily in the absence of large casualties according to Pei Chengyi's instructions. The Nu Army also made full preparations. The engineers who followed the main force played a very critical role in the battle, and the engineering keys specially distributed to the armored troops also played a role. According to the battle report of the army summoned, when attacking, the main battle tank equipped with engineering swords rushed to the front and the flanks were protected by infantry fighting vehicles. If they encountered the open-air tunnel of the Indian army, they would directly use the engineering key to land it, and the armored vehicles transporting the engineering troops followed behind the armored troops. After the armored troops stabilized the front, the engineers used special equipment to explore the underground tunnel system. Then they used blasting to destroy the underground tunnel. Although such tactics were difficult to increase the attack speed, it could minimize the offensive losses.

The problem is that the offensive speed cannot be improved. In what year and year will the battle last?

The attack was until dawn of the blade, within an hour, the attacking troops of the Wu army only advanced 2 kilometers, with an average of about 5 meters per hour. Although the casualties in the battle were not large, the officers and soldiers in the formation were not strong, and the disabled were not Tianren, and the damage was minimal. Only 2 vehicles were induced and 4 vehicles. The mutual entrance was destroyed. Several damaged tanks and tanks could be repaired on the front line, but at this attack speed, it would take two months to summon Bhopal.

There is no doubt that if you don’t have to spend a month, even two weeks will make the Battle of Bhopal meaningless.

what to do?

Tang Yinglong was also thinking about this issue. On the morning of the ugly day, he spoke with Pei Chengyi and suggested that the two combat brigades acting as reserve teams open up two new offensive directions. According to his estimates, launching an attack from three directions at the same time can increase the speed of the propulsion and win Bhopal before the old day of the month.

Pei Chengyi did not adopt Tang Yinglong's suggestion because his plan to defeat Bhopal before the day of the mouth.

If it is delayed until the old days, not only will more ground troops be invested in Bhopal, but the Indian army will also have enough time to improve the defense deployment of the area on the north bank of the Nalmoda River.

There is definitely no chance to attack, and Jin World is watching.

What annoyed Pei Chengyi was that Du Qiwei must have seen his dilemma. On the afternoon of Blade Day, Eastern Time, a Pentagon official revealed to the person in private that Bopal is solid and that the Chinese army has only one pound of the way to defeat Bopal. That is to use tactical nuclear weapons. This news immediately spread all over the world, making those who have nothing to do think that the Republic is about to use tactical nuclear weapons in Bopal.

The purpose of the US move is very clear, that is, to tell the Chinese government not to play with fire in Bhopal.

Pei Chengyi also received a call from Xiang Yinghui that afternoon, and the head of state had issued clear instructions that special bombs should not be used in Bhopal.

Although Pei Chengyi had never thought about using special bombs, this order still made him feel uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly. By this time, Pei Chengyi felt his hands and feet tied up for the first time and felt very uncomfortable.

If you can't attack for a strong attack, what method should you use to defeat Bhopal before the month and the day?

At this time, Yuan Chenhao raised a very important question, that is, why should Bhopal be defeated?

The purpose of attacking Bhopal is nothing more than opening a passage for the westward advance. If the same goal can be achieved, why not take other measures? For example, letting go of Bhopal and looking broader.

Inspired by Yuan Chenhao, Pei Chengyi quickly straightened out his ideas.

As Yuan Chenhao said, fighting Bhopal is just a means, not an end. Since it is not an end, other means can be used to achieve a different goal.

In the evening of the same day, before dinner, Pei Chengyi contacted Tang Yinglong and asked the Diwu Armored Brigade to continue attacking Bhopal from the front, dispatch reconnaissance troops, and closely monitor all kilograms of Bhopal. If the Indian army breaks through or launches a counterattack, they can choose to call for fire strikes, or use the reserve troops of the Diwu Armored Brigade to block the attack. The Indian army in Bhopal must not be allowed to leave the defensive position. The most important thing is that the Diwu Thugs Armored Brigade and the Dizhu Mechanized Infantry Brigade march separately from the north and south of Bhopal to the west, preparing to block the Indian army rushing to Bhopal.

When Pei Chengyi adjusted the tactical deployment of the summoning army, Yuan Chenhao began to adjust air support and artillery support.

After redeploying the combat operation, the two left the tactical command center and went to the officers' restaurant.

They ordered those dishes, and when the waiter served the dishes, the two started chatting.

"The attack on the aid of the points is indeed a solution, but it is not the most ideal solution. In other words, to achieve the ideal effect, several conditions must be met."

Pei Chengyi nodded with a smile and signaled Yuan Chenhao to continue speaking.

This tactic was thought of by Yuan Chenhao, so Pei Chengyi didn't want to "fight for credit" with him.

"Mom Yong doubted that the Indian army commander must have expected that we would adopt the tactic of accompaniment and aid. Otherwise, we would not build such a vast defensive position in Bhopal, nor would we send reinforcements to Bhopal in a scattered manner. How can we achieve our goal when the opponent has mastered our tactics? On the other hand, what is the purpose of the opponent's desire to use the tactic of accompaniment? There is no doubt that the army cannot quickly capture Bhopal, and can only kill the Indian army that reinforces Bhopal. If we want to defeat Bhopal, we have to invest in other combat troops. Go to Shanghai. Even if we have tried our best to take Bhopal, we cannot look west immediately and stop our pace of advance in Bhopal. The purpose of the Indian army to defend Bhopal is nothing more than to stop us from moving forward. In other words, even if Bhopal is lost, the Indian army has achieved its goal. From our standpoint, the only solution

It is to continue to advance westward and let the hope of the Indian army be destroyed. The large force is moving westward. Can we bypass Bhopal? There is no doubt that we cannot bypass Bhopal, because Bhopal is the transportation hub center of the region. Even if we encircle Bhopal like the besieged Allahabad, the army advancing westward will definitely encounter logistical support problems. More importantly, the Indian army has learned experience and the range of Bhopal's defensive positions is more than ten times that of Allahabad, and the railway is in the city center. If we use Allahabad's method to build a temporary railway of hundreds of kilometers in the suburbs, this obviously doesn't work. We don't have so many engineering troops, so many engineering materials, and so much time. If the railway is built, I'm afraid our army will have occupied Bhopal long ago. In other words, we must conquer Bhopal. And we must occupy Bhopal before the main force moves westward."

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "You have said so much, but I just want to say that you have to make Bhopal's defenders surrender.

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, then said, "It seems that I'm in vain."

"You have made a good analysis. We must let Bhopal's defenders surrender. When you proposed the tactic of accompaniment to attack aid, I guessed your intention. In fact, by accompaniment to attack aid, it is indeed possible to force Bhopal's defenders to surrender. The problem is that it is impossible to ensure that according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Bhopal's defenders have about half a year of food and ammunition, and it is not a problem to defend for three months. Although destroying reinforcements can shake the defenders, in extreme cases, it may not necessarily cause the defenders to surrender."

"Other approach must be taken

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "What good idea did you think of?"

"I thought of it, but we can't do it."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Who do you think can do it?"

Yuan Chenhao hesitated for a moment and said, "You guessed it, can you still say more to me?"

"Tell me, maybe we'll go together

"Isn't Lu Chengwen still looking for those free reporters?"

Pei Chengyi immediately laughed and said, "It seems that I'm right. We did think of it together."

"But Lu Chengwen directly followed General Xiang's command, and we had no right to arrange tasks for him.

"Mr. Xiang is easy to say. As long as you can defeat Bhopal, there is no reason not to support those special weapons, Pei Chengyi picked up a cigarette. He lit one with Yuan Chenhao first and said, "Besides, I have known Lu Chengwen for so many years. It's also a bit of friendship. Even if you don't ask Mr. Xiang, he will help us.

Not to mention anything else, after fighting for so long, the special forces have been watching the fun beside them, except for participating in the pilot rescue operation. Lu Chengwen has long wanted to try his skills.

"That would be better."

"But now is not the time."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Pei Chengyi meant.

"Starting the battle, our attack speed slowed down, and the Indian army's fighting spirit must be very high, Pei Chengyi took two puffs of cigarettes and said, "To defeat the enemy's fighting spirit, you must first destroy the enemy's hope. When the summoning army fights several beautiful annihilation battles in the suburbs, completely destroy the hope of the Bhopal defenders, and then let Lu Chengwen take action. Only by defeating the Indian army in one go, letting the Indian army make the wisest choice

"We also have to find the location of the Indian Army Command."

"It must be underground and buried very deeply. Of course, this is a technical matter. We can't control it.

Yuan Chenhao nodded and said, "I'll arrange the relevant work and try to make sure it is as soon as possible."

"No problem, you will be responsible for this matter. I'll contact Lu Chengwen and ask him to send more special forces here.

The two of them didn't talk much. When the servants brought the food, they filled their stomachs and returned to the tactical command center.

The battle in Bhopal continued. Several combat battalions of the Diying Armored Brigade took turns to advance and continued to advance, without giving the Indian army much breathing opportunity. In order to strengthen the offensive power, Tang Yinglong even let the brigade artillery enter the front line and placed several electromagnetic cannons on the hillside outside the Indian army's position to provide direct fire support for the offensive troops. There is no doubt that the power of the large-caliber electric sulfonium cannon far exceeds that of the millimeter electromagnetic cannon on the tank, and far exceeds the anti-tank missiles on the tank. The firepower points used to strike the positions are simply a killing knife.

Dieshu; the armored brigade has already fought from the north to the west and is advancing towards Seher. All the Indian troops who reinforced Bhopal from the west pass by Seher. As long as the thugs are summoning a thug to deal with the Indian reinforcements that have arrived one after another, it is indeed a bit exaggerated.

The mechanized infantry brigade is advancing towards the town of Renalli, south of Bhopal. All Indian troops who came from the south bank of the Nalmoda River must pass by here. Although the air force has blown up all the bridges on the Nalmoda River, the Indian troops have a lot of crossing equipment, and the upper reaches of the Nalmoda River are not wide, so the troops can easily swim. By defending Renalli, they can block the other half of the reinforcements.

The summoning army had already set off and was waiting for the Indian army to come to the door.
