The Five Armies took on the stance, but did not attract the attention of the Indian authorities. Instead, they received high attention from Mu Bixi.

In the eyes of American military and political officials, Pei Chengyi dispatched a flying army, one of the three ace troops of the Republic to attack Bhopal, and India was basically out of salvation. Duqiwei not only did not give up hope, but also encouraged the president to let the third fleet of arms transporting supplies go to India as soon as possible, which was very related to his arrangements in Bhopal.

After all, Du Qiwei still has a glimmer of hope for India.

It is not the hope that India can defeat China, but the hope that China can pay the price of resumption in India.

At this point in the war, Du Qiwei suffered a lot of losses and also summarized a lot of experience. Although he was not the commander of the Indian army, as the highest military adviser of the Indian army, Du Qiwei was half a step behind in the game against Pei Chengyi. At the beginning, Du Qiwei was not convinced and always wanted to surpass Pei Chengyi and guess Pei Chengyi's intention to fight. After hitting a few times, Du Qiwei realized the reality and changed his way of thinking. Since he could not surpass him, he could only follow him and try his best to hold back Pei Chengyi's pace, so that Pei Chengyi would pay a greater price to achieve his goal.

After choosing the right method, Duqiwei also regained his confidence.

Because the top Indian leaders were too concerned about New Delhi, they were seriously insufficient to pay attention to Bhopal. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duchway regarded Bhopal as a test site for new tactical ideas.

In order to defend Bhopal, Duchiwei did three things. One was to warn the Indian authorities, which attracted the attention of Rurajapani and Gujarad, and won more reinforcements for Bhopal. The second was to send military advisers to Bhopal to assist the Indian army in building defensive positions and strengthen Bhopal's defense strength. The third was to use the relationship between the Pentagon and the news media to send a group of journalists who were not afraid of death to Bhopal for on-site reports.

These three things fully reflect Duqiwei's ability.

According to Rurajapani's instructions, Gujarad specially arranged liaison officers, who were responsible for communicating with the US military advisers and issued combat orders to the Indian army in the direction of Bhopal. That is to say, Duchiwei could directly command the Indian army in Bhopal through the military adviser to India. He seemed to have no trust in Duchiwei. Gujarad left a hand when executing Rurajapani's orders and only handed over the command of the Bhopal defenders to Duchiwei. The Indian army that reinforced Bhopal was still directly commanded by the Indian Army Command.

Although there is a difference from what you want to get, Duqiwei should be content.

As the US Secretary of Defense, even if Duqiwei was the only general who had fought against Li Chengyi on the battlefield, and he was not completely defeated, he was also an American soldier, not an Indian soldier. If Duqiwei's political identity was taken into account, it was very commendable that Rulajapani could make some Indian troops obey his dispatch.

The work of building a defensive position is more important. It can even be said that it is the key to whether Bhopal can be defended.

Duqiwei never overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Indian army. If the Indian army had sufficient combat effectiveness, the war would not be like this. For troops with low combat effectiveness, especially those with poor mobility, the best way to defeat the opponent is to rely on a solid defensive position. Building a defensive position has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the troops, but only with human power. There is no doubt that the Indian army does not lack human resources.

In fact, at the beginning, Du Qiwei didn't quite understand how to build a defensive position.

This cannot be blamed. Apart from encountering strong opponents on the peninsula battlefield, the US military has been invincible all over the world. Even if it encounters trouble in the Iranian war, it has not been defeated by the Iranian army, but has been defeated by the Iranian people. As one of the most powerful armies in the world, the US military has always believed in offensive. Its main tactics are also attacking. Although no one denies the defensive capabilities of the US military, especially the defensive capabilities of the US Army, in general, the US Army's defensive capabilities are based on strong air support and artillery fire support. If you have air supremacy, you also have

With the advantage of firepower, any army can fight a defensive war. In other words, the US military does not have much experience in building defensive positions. Many troops even do not know how to build defensive positions. Not to mention anything else. In the Peninsula War, if the US military knew how to build defensive positions, the two land combat divisions would definitely be able to persist for a few more days when going to Zhanhu and Changjin Lake to drag down the 4th army. In order to eliminate the airborne thugs of the five elders, the US military could also defeat the five elders and open up the retreat route. The 2nd land combat division would not surrender to the Chinese army without hope of retreating.

Not knowing how to build a defensive position does not mean not knowing how to learn.

The airborne thugs, the Trade Brigade left a profound impression on Du Qiwei in the blocking operation of the five elders. Although he did not go to the five elders to learn about the airborne defensive positions, according to Du Qiwei's speculation, the airborne Du Qiwei's defense positions mainly rely on the underground tunnel system, just like the volunteer army in Shangganling that year. He regarded the earth as the best shield.

In the battle of Ranchi, the airborne thugs with only a few officers and soldiers. Without reinforcements, they not only persisted for several days, but also blocked hundreds of times the enemy, creating an amazing record of annihilation of nearly 10,000 enemies. In addition to their high fighting will, tenacious fighting style and superb individual quality, the airborne brigade's defensive position played a decisive role?

Unlike the Peninsula War, Duchewei can finally study the airborne thugs and destroy the defensive positions of the brigade.

After learning from the experience of the Peninsula War, the United States invested heavily in developing a reconnaissance satellite specially used to detect underground defense systems. Although the satellite was nominally used to find underground nuclear facilities in certain rogue countries.

" .The Western world initiated sanctions to provide evidence. However, it is also used to survey and map the defensive positions. "": Because the reconnaissance satellite was launched in Shaonian. Therefore, surveying and mapping the defensive positions of the nephew brigade in Lanchi was its first important task.

The surveying and mapping results shocked Du Qiwei. The airborne thug Shaolu.

The important part of the entire defensive position is underground, and the key facilities are buried about meter underground. This depth can only be dealt with by drilling bombs specifically for underground nuclear facilities. Even the underground tunnel system has a depth of meter, which is enough to resist various large-caliber artillery shells and ordinary aviation bombs of the level below Lu. More importantly, each underground tunnel is not only reinforced with high-strength composite materials, but also has two main and secondary channels, and a defense position for trade and brigades is set up every old meter. Unless tactical nuclear weapons with drilling capabilities are used, at least 10,000 tons of ammunition must be released, and the strike hit rate must not be lower than the flame port. If the Indian army's fighting method is used, even if the strike accuracy cannot be ensured, even if about 10,000 tons of bombs and artillery shells are released, the airborne strong brigade may not be surrendered.

With such a solid defensive position, hundreds of thousands of Indian troops have no choice but to have any help from the strong brigade.

This is definitely a rare experience for Duchwie.

After asking the intelligence analyst to copy a few copies of the surveyed drawings, Duchway sent one of them to Stark and asked Stark to organize military consultants to study as soon as possible.

Edavao's battle was the first time the experience the US military had just learned was tested in actual combat.

There is no doubt that Du Qiwei finally found a way to restrain the Chinese Army's offensive front.

This is probably what it means to use the spear to attack the shield of the son.

But Duqiwei was not very happy.

When he started to build the Bhopal defensive position, Duqiwei discovered that it was difficult to turn Bhopal into a defensive position like the Airborne Brigade with manpower alone. The reason is very simple, the project volume is too large!

No problem in Edavao, it does not mean no problem in Bhopal.

The density of Edavao's troops is more than twice that of Bhopal, which is equivalent to 0 times more manpower than thugs. With sufficient manpower, the problem of excessive engineering volume is not exposed.

If there is insufficient manpower, the problem is very obvious.

Of course, the United States is not without relevant information, but it has not attracted the attention of the Pentagon. As early as after the Peninsula War, Uranium obtained a list of equipment procurement for the Chinese Army. Among them, there were many portable engineering equipment. Because engineering equipment is not combat weapons, it not only did not attract the attention of the Pentagon, but even the Four did not pay much attention. The extremely important information was locked in the Concao database for several years. When Du Qiwei encountered trouble, he was retrieved by the Four's information administrator and sent to the Secretary of Defense.

Discovering a problem does not mean finding a solution to the problem.

Not to mention that those very advanced portable electric engineering equipment do not have one in India, even the United States. What makes Duchwit even more trouble is that even if you start developing it immediately, you will not have time to send it to India.

In desperation, Du Qiwei could only choose the simplest and most direct method. That is, to concentrate on building a defensive position in the northeast direction of Bhopal, and ignore the other directions for the time being. Because the northeast direction is the most vulnerable direction to attack, according to Du Qiwei's judgment, if Pei Chengyi intends to capture Bhopal as soon as possible, he will start an attack from the northeast direction. Although Du Qiwei is not sure whether Pei Chengyi will change the direction of the attack after encountering setbacks, according to his understanding of Pei Chengyi, the opponent will not try many times, and will probably find another plan.

It has to be admitted that Du Qiwei surpassed Pei Chengyi this time.

Of course, the problem cannot be solved by simply building a solid defense array, because Pei Chengyi has special bombs in his hands that are enough to destroy any defensive position.

The third thing Du Qiwei did was to make Pei Chengyi give up the special bomb.

Although the Chinese military does not have to take responsibility for killing journalists in war, the Chinese government certainly dare not use weapons of mass destruction in the face of journalists from all over the world in the battle against cities.

This pattern had an immediate effect. Pei Chengyi did not use weapons of mass destruction.

As the army was summoned to divide the troops to encircle Bhopal, Duqiwei realized that his defensive tactics had already taken effect. Pei Chengyi chose to surround the site and attack the reinforcements without hope of attacking Bhopal.

With Du Qiwei's ability, it is impossible to guess Pei Chengyi's intentions.

Not to mention annihilation of reinforcements, as long as the reinforcements are blocked outside Bhopal City, it can severely slam the morale of the Bhopal defenders, and then try to blow up the Bhopal Defense Command, which can cause the Bhopal defenders to collapse on the entire line. At this point, Duqiwei has no chance of winning, because too much time has been delayed in front, so Pei Chengyi will definitely let the Nu army launch an attack from multiple directions and completely defeat the Bhopal defenders' will to resist. At that time, even if the defenders are still persisting, because the defensive positions in other directions are not strong enough, the Nu army can easily capture most of the Bhopal. As long as the main traffic line is controlled, Pei Chengyi can abandon the remaining Indian army of Bhopal and let the main force advance through Bhopal.

Pei Xiao must not succeed. The reinforcements must be allowed to arrive at Bhopal. Even if only the thugs and divisions enter Bhopal, they can cheer up the defenders.

The problem is that the reinforcements are facing the Armored Brigade of the Wu Army with the most powerful combat power, and the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Most Powerful Combat.

Although the Trade Army is not like the Concave Army, each combat brigade is strengthened, as a heavy armored army, Zhang's field combat capability, especially the combat capability of the large army, is far above the strategic reactive army. Any combat brigade has the armored power equivalent to an ordinary strategic reactive army, and can easily kill more than twice the Indian infantry in field battles. What's more, the Indian army's reinforcements set out in batches and can only arrive in batches. If the reinforcements stop, Pei Chengyi

We will definitely let the two combat brigades of the Zhao army take the initiative without hesitation. We will even push the front line hundreds of kilometers away in one breath, completely cutting off the Indian army's attempt to reinforce Bhopal. If the reinforcements continue to advance, it will undoubtedly be a tactic of adding fuel to the opponents, and they will only be defeated by each of them. Even if the reinforcements in front slow down the marching speed, the result will not be much better, because the two combat brigades of the Nu army have extremely powerful tactical assault capabilities. We will not slow down the attack speed because the opponent's marching slowly.

How to fight next?

This is a very critical issue and cannot be solved well. Bhopal's Indian army will not last long.

Du Qiwei had a headache because he found that it was not only Pei Chengyi who was powerful, but also the Chinese Army.

Attack Bhopal with just a thug.

The question is, how to solve the problem

Duqiwei has never found a suitable solution, so he has not rush to adjust his tactics.

This move shows that Du Qiwei is a little guilty. Although Du Qiwei took the lead in this confrontation and made correct decisions several times in a row, causing Pei Chengyi to miss several pounds and opportunities, Du Qiwei still lacks confidence in himself, believing that as long as one mistake, even the smallest mistake, can give Pei Chengyi the opportunity to turn the foundation.

It was because of fear of making mistakes that Du Qisheng made an inaction choice.

Judging from the situation at that time, this was also the most ideal choice, but this choice did not solve the problem, and it only delayed the time when the problem broke out.

The only thing that deserves Duqiwei's gratitude is that Pei Chengyi still did not find Bhopal's defense loopholes.

For Pei Chengyi, who was far away on the other side of the earth, he did not notice the problems of the Indian army.

After adopting Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi focused on the siege point to attack and aid. Relatively speaking, this is the most conservative of the tactics that can be adopted. Although many people later thought that Pei Chengyi was too careless and did not discover loopholes in the Indian army in time, with the situation at that time, it was understandable that Pei Chengyi chose a safe tactic when the situation was unclear. The most important thing is that Pei Chengyi did not have the capital to waste. Even if he had only a thug or a army, he could not bear the consequences. With Pei Chengyi's personality, he would not only consider one.

In fact, when adopting Yuan Chenhao's suggestion, Pei Chengyi made many preparations. Not to mention, he asked the Cable Armored Brigade, which was responsible for the frontal attack, to take turns to take action, instead of participating in offensive battles, and was preparing for possible unexpected situations. With the battlefield operation ability of the Witch Army, even if there is no combat reserve, he could adjust the tactics in time and respond to new situations. More importantly, Pei Chengyi had enough long-range support forces in his hands. He did not allow the tactical aviation and the Army aviation to support the assault forces, but he wanted to make some preparations for the attack on Bopardo.

Of course, after making a choice, Pei Chengyi would not hesitate.

After the Armored Brigade of the Diyuan and the Mechanized Infantry Brigade were deployed in the early morning of the day, Pei Chengyi crossed Tang Yinglong and issued combat orders directly to the two brigades, requiring that active and decisive actions be taken and reinforcements must not be allowed to arrive in Bhopal. In order to reassure the two brigade commanders, Pei Chengyi also made a guarantee that all air transport forces of the Land Airlines will be mobilized to provide material support for the two brigades.

With the guarantee of the front-line commander, the two brigade commanders had nothing to worry about.

In fact, the two brigade commanders were more willing to fight field battles than to spend time in front of the enemy's defensive positions. Although the He army is the most suitable heavy armored army to attack, like the Strategic Reaction Army, the officers and soldiers of the heavy armored army also like to fight against the enemy without being too restricted. There is no doubt that field battles are subject to the least restrictions.

With two strengths, defeating the Indian reinforcements on the open plains was a piece of cake.

Before dawn, the Mechanized Infantry Brigade left a thug. After one of the Mechanized Infantry Battalions and the non-combat troops guarded the three-way intersection south of Bhopal, the other combat battalions went south and took the lead in launching an attack on the two Indian infantry divisions crossing the Nalmoda River. In fact, it was only time to leave Seher.

Like the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Thirteenth Armored Brigade, the 3rd Armored Brigade only left a thug combat battalion and the first Seher of the non-combat force. The main force all attacked westward to fight against the two Indian infantry divisions that were about to arrive.
