Chapter 166: Replacing Defense with Offense
During the night of the day, the army led the army across the Dabuti River... Because the sword army had stabilized the front line, Pei Chengyi did not let the army advance towards Surat. After crossing the river from Shirpur, he went south directly. The main force surrounded Dulia that night, and the vanguard continued to move south and arrived at Malay.com before dawn.
Although the guided army failed to capture Dulia and Malay immediately, the left wing of the sword army finally had security.
Judging from the battlefield situation in the direction of Surat, as long as the army leads to the Dulia and Malay websites have a stable foothold, the Indian army in the direction of Mumbai have only two choices. One is to reinforce Surat from the coastal plains and compete with the offensive troops in Surat for strength. The other is to attack Malay Net and Dulia from Nasik and Aurangabad, and fight the left wing on the battlefield. Influenced by the plateau of the western Indian Peninsula, the Indian army cannot pose a threat to the left wing defense line of thousands of troops.
No matter how you choose, it is difficult for the Indian army in the direction of Mumbai to play a role. If you go north from the coastal plain, the Indian army must first ask whether the fleet that has arrived on the battlefield agrees; with the fleet's strike ability, even if hundreds of thousands of Indian troops head north at the same time, in plains without any cover, it is easy to become the target of fleet artillery fire and carrier-based aviation; the battle in the Bay of Bengal shows that the fleet poses a fatal threat to the ground forces in the coastal areas. If you attack Malegan and Dulia from the inland, it is affected by the complex terrain conditions, it is difficult for the Indian army to concentrate its forces to launch an attack, and can only invest in small units in batches, and it is easy to be led to each pound and annihilate during mobile warfare.
Although the Indian army had a third choice, namely, bypassing Malay and Dulia, and first advance eastward. In Jarna, turn north, cross the Sahiadri Mountains, and attacking Jarnet and Psavor. However, this choice is no different from dying, because the Indian army had to use Nashik and Aurangabad first. After arriving at Jarna, they could only advance along mountain roads. In addition to the great impact of the marching speed, the fallen troops stationed at Jarnet and Psavor only needed to deploy several infantry units in the mountains with the help of the vertical airlift power of the land aviation, and then they could smash the Indian army back with artillery fire.
Going east further east does not belong to Mumbai, but to Haidebala.
It can be seen that after the army was led to plug the loopholes in the left wing defense line, the millions of Indian troops in Mumbai became decorations.
While the army was still marching south, the Ming army also crossed the Dabuti River.
According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, after the agglomeration army arrived in Nendubar, they first asked the logistics troops and engineering troops to build forward attack positions, and then exchanged defense areas with the sword army.
In the eyes of many people, Du Chengyi should keep the sword army and attack Surat with the Blue Army.
Pei Chengyi did not do this, but asked the withdrawn sword army combat troops to go to Jair.com and Psavol immediately to replace the troops there. In other words, it was not Wan Jun who assisted the fallen army to attack Surat, but the fallen army who performed better in the previous battles.
On the morning of the old tools, Pei Chengyi divided the Dao Jun and Hong Junzai into a clear defense area.
Wanjun is mainly responsible for the defense of Jairwang and Psavol, and dealing with the Indian army from the south and southeast. It is mainly responsible for dealing with the threat of the Hydebala Front. The Mi army is responsible for guarding the area between the Dabouti River and the Nalmoda River, dealing with the Indian army from the east, and dealing with the threat of the Ripur Front.
Just when everyone thought Pei Chengyi had completed the deployment of the defense line, Pei Chengyi gave an order that no one could understand.
On the afternoon of the past, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Mi Army set out from Italsi on the south bank of the Narmoda River and launched a raid south at a rapid speed. It captured Bedur in the evening of the same day, arrived in Amra at night, and then divided the troops and captured Bergushi and Banturna in the early morning of the past day.
This whirlwind attack scared the Indian army.
You should know that Banturna is less than 00 kilometers away from Nagpur, while Bergushi is the only place to Gondia, east of Nagpur. And Gonbaya is a strategic location connecting Nagpur and Raipur. In the eyes of the Indian army, Pei Chengyi is sending troops to attack Nagpur.
The question is why Pei Chengyi occupied Nagpur.
Although Nagpur is not a state government, in central India, Nagpur's strategic importance is absolutely not under any state government. From a geographical point of view, Nagpur is the western barrier of Raipur and the northern barrier of Hyderbala. The prominent part centered on Nagpur blocks the Chinese army's way to Raipur and Hyderbala. As long as the Indian army has stood firm in Nagpur, the main force attacking Surat and the concave troops swept along the Gulf of Bengal will not be able to join forces, let alone fight in concert. In other words, after occupying Nagpur, the Chinese army can attack Raipur from two directions. Then go south from Nagpur and Raipur to siege Haiderbala.
Hyderabad was definitely not a trivial matter, because it was the "city of India"
Before dawn, the Indian army in Nagpur began to prepare for the attack.
In any case, the enemy cannot control Berguxi and Banturna. The Chinese army must be driven back to ensure the absolute safety of Nagpur.
Because of limited reconnaissance methods, the Indian army did not know that the strongest mechanized infantry brigade that arrived at Berguxi and Banturna not only did not intend to advance towards Nagpur, but also began to build defensive positions after occupying two small towns, and used a large number of engineering equipment.
On the contrary, the Mechanized Infantry Brigade does not lack reconnaissance methods.
The Indian army had just completed assembly, and air strikes and artillery fire strikes arrived one after another.
The bombing lasted for jade minutes and the artillery fire lasted for minutes. The Indian ground troops who were preparing to attack Bergushi and Banturna were seriously injured and completely lost their ability to move.
If the attack fails, you can only defend to the death.
The Indian army could not understand that Dabolgus and Banturna led the army several times and did not arrive.
It was not until noon that day that the scouts sent by the Indian army understood the situation. The Mechanized Infantry Brigade had already established a firm foothold in Berguxi and Banturna, and its defensive positions were very well built.
What exactly does Pei Chengyi want to do?
Gujarad, who was commanded remotely, was completely confused.
The Chinese army stopped just one step away from Nagpur. Could it be that the thugs used their brigade's troops to build a defensive position outside Nagpur?
You should know that Nagpur is located on the plains of the Waynegeng River, while Bergus and Banturna are both located in the mountains of the Satpura Mountains. The Chinese army is condescending, and at most it only needs to invest the troops of a thug to capture Nagpur in one go.
Gujarad didn't know that Pei Chengyi could not draw out the troops of the thugs at this time.
Besides, capturing a big city like Nagpur not only consumes military strength and time, but also consumes extremely valuable ammunition and medicine resources. When it is necessary to concentrate troops to attack Surat, Pei Chengyi has no reason to invest too much power in Nagpur.
The question is, what is the purpose of capturing Berguci and Banturna?
If it is just for defense, there is no need to do this at all. There is basically no difference between retreating a few kilometers to establish a defensive position and establishing a defensive position against Nagpur.
Just when Gujarad was puzzled, two artillery brigades of the Witch Army arrived in Amra.
Although the 3rd Mechanized Communist brigade of the Second Medicine did not build an artillery position in Amra, the two artillery brigades had a large engineering force. Moreover, the artillery had the ability to build artillery positions. More importantly, the two artillery brigades arrived in Amra by maneuvering on highways. They did not occupy valuable railway transportation resources. There were also four thugs who arrived in Amra with the two artillery brigades. The trains specializing in transporting ammunition were driven to Amra.
The two artillery brigades also launched operations at the same time as the Mi Army resting in Bhopal.
In the evening of that day, the Nu army arrived at Jabalpur, the upper reaches of the Narmoda River. After the main force crossed the river, the Armored Brigade, the Armored Brigade, who served as the vanguard, took the lead in launching an assault to the south and captured Nainpur that night.
Only when Gujarad found out that Nainbull had lost his life did Gujarad suddenly react.
Pei Chengyi was not Nagpur, but Raipur.
Soon, Gujarad received more precise information. It was not the assault troops that captured Nainbul, but the armored troops that summoned the army!
Now, Gujarad has nothing to doubt anymore.
In the entire direction, only Raibuer is worthy of Pei Chengyi's use of the army.
Looking at it from the other hand, it is not difficult to understand the attack of the Wu army. The Bi Army did not attack Nagpur, but occupied Amra. To be precise, it provided artillery positions for the Wu army's artillery brigade. Athura was about kilometers from Raipur, which was within the maximum strike range of long-range artillery. More importantly, Amra had a direct railway line to Bhopal, so there was no need to worry about the supply of artillery troops. Although Pei Chengyi could also place artillery troops in Jabalpur, but
To ensure the safety of artillery, at least you have to keep thugs in Jabalpur and the combat brigade, because the area east of Jabalpur is still in the hands of the Indian army. Keeping the artillery in Amala is protected by the Medicine Army, basically no need to consider security issues. Of course, Pei Chengyi must have a longer-term plan. In other words, as long as the army is summoned to successfully capture Raipur, Pei Chengyi will let the Medicine Army attack Nagpur, and even use two armies to attack Nagpur and level the front.
With Rangirad's eyes, it's already very good to be able to see this far.
In fact, Pei Chengyi's intentions are more than that.
The Wu army held the gun against Nagpur, and could achieve the goal of three kills in one fell swoop. The first goal Gujarad had already seen it, that is, to protect the Wu army's long-range artillery. The second goal was to restrain the Indian army in the Nagpur direction so that the Wu army would not have to worry about flanking security. The third goal was to actively attack and resolve the threat in the southeast direction and reduce the pressure on the defense line that was as long as a thin kilometers.
At this point, the Indian army has only two choices.
It was launched a counterattack in the direction of Nagpur. It fought back to Amra, causing the Zhao army to lose long-range artillery support, and at the same time forced the Mi army to withdraw from the original defense line. The second was to take the initiative to evacuate Nagpur, concentrate troops to encircle the Zhao army, and defend the more important Raibul.
The question is, will Pei Chengyi let the Indian army choose?
Just as Gujarad was thinking about how to fight, the US military adviser sent a more important piece of information.
The concave troops who had previously wandered on the north bank of the Mehanadi River had successfully crossed the river in the direction of Berangir. The vanguard was advancing towards Tidlergel. Another assault force was advancing along the highway route towards Berger, and was expected to occupy the town directly to Raipur before dawn. More importantly, two artillery brigades in Jamshedpur two days ago had arrived at Senbupur at night in the day and night, and there were trains carrying at least small enough to carry ammunition.
Gujarad almost fainted after receiving this news.
The heavy armored army is also the strongest 2 kilograms of the Chinese Army. The heavy armored army launched an attack on Raibul at the same time. Not to mention that the only guards Raibul is the only Indian army. Even if they have strong, they are not the opponent of the Wu army and the Imperial Army. You must know that the feather army captured Kolkata without any effort, and the summoned army easily captured Bhopal. Even if you look at the world, the attacking ability of the Sha army and the Jiao army is unparalleled.
It is simply ambition to attack Laibull with two extremely powerful heavy armored troops.
The question is, what exactly does Pei Chengyi want to do?
To be precise, Pei Chengyi's purpose is to attack the Surat thug or capture Raibul.
Although from the perspective of the entire war, Pei Chengyi had no reason to give up Surat and attack Raibul, in Gujarad's view, Pei Chengyi is likely to attack Raibul first, because no one can guess Pei Chengyi's intentions, and no one understands how he commanded the army to fight. From another perspective, the Indian government began to move towards Hydebala, and Pei Chengyi let go of Surat. It is also a good choice to attack Raibul because it is necessary to capture Hydeba.
Ra, you have to capture Raipur. If the Chinese army can capture Haidebala before the Indian capital is completed, it will make the Indian government "homeless". At that time, it will either surrender in New Delhi or flee to Bangalore further south. Surrender is unlikely, and fleeing to Bangalore will definitely cause the Indian government to paralyze in a short period of time. Even if only thugs cannot work properly for months, the Chinese army can take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and rush the front to the south for hundreds of kilometers.
The temptation to capture Hydebala is very high, and Pei Chengyi is very likely to focus on attacking Laibul.
How long can Raibull last?
This question should be asked in turn, i.e. how long should it last in Reibull.
The capital relocation work can only be completed at 10,000 days. That is to say, the last batch of government personnel will arrive at Haidebala on 10,000 days. According to the second phase of war mobilization plan, the mobilization work in the direction of Haidebala can only be completed at the end of the month, and more defensive forces can be invested at that time. With the speed of the Chinese army, it takes at most old days to attack from Raibul to Hai, and only at least three days. If the Indian army consolidates the outer defense line of Haidebala at the beginning of the old month, Raibul's defenders must at least last until after the day of the month of the ridge, and it is best to persist until after the day of the ridge.
Can the Ripur defenders hold on to the old heaven?
Gujarad had no hope at all. Not to mention the old heaven, it would be a miracle to be able to hold on to the sky in front of the heavy armored army.
Of course, the Ripur defenders must stick to heaven, at least to heaven.
By making this judgment, Gujarad immediately issued an order to retreat to Raipur's defenders, and at the same time, he asked Volta's defenders about a thousand meters southwest of Nagpur to prepare for counterattack. If the Mi army takes the opportunity to capture Nagpur, they will use active counterattack to restrain the Mi army.
As long as the defenders of Nagpur arrive at Dalaipur safely, the problem of defending the sky is not very big.
Of course, it is still a question whether it can be reached safely.
Gujarad was worried that the troops who reinforced Raipur would be hit.
In the early morning of the past, Gujarad's worries became a big deal.
After Nagpur's main force set out, it was immediately attacked by artillery fire.
According to the past situation, most of the Indian army would be damaged by fire during the march.
However, this time the situation is completely different.
The shelling lasted only about a minute, and the air strike did not arrive. After paying the price of damage to about one-third of the combat power, the defenders of Nagpur successfully arrived at Gonmayya.
Upon receiving the news, Gujarad was both excited and puzzled.
If Pei Chengyi concentrated his troops to attack Raipur, there would be no reason for Nagpur's defenders to arrive in Gondia successfully.
Of course, Gujarad didn't know that when Nagpur's defenders arrived in Gonmaya, the main force of the Nu army was only a knife kilometer away from Gondia.
In other words, when he received the news, the main force of the flying army had already launched an attack.
More importantly, the battle in the direction of Surat also began at this time.
There was no focus on shelling the Indian army starting from Nagpur. It was not that Pei Chengyi did not want to fight, but that the material supply could not keep up. First, we must ensure the offensive action in the direction of Surat, and then consider the battle in the direction of Raipur. Besides, Pei Chengyi never thought about using two heavy armored troops to attack Raipur. If the two artillery brigades of the summoned army were allowed to exhaust all the ammunition in one go, what should we do when attacking Raipur?
The old thugs were divided into pieces, and the Nu army fought against the Indian army in Gundia.
Although the artillery fire support was not fierce, after the Nu army entered the Dido Armored Brigade and the Dizhu Mechanized Infantry Brigade, they still easily defeated the Indian army. They attacked Gongfaya in just 2 hours, defeated the Indian army at the old point and occupied Gongdia in the evening.
Because the Indian army had just arrived in Gondia, it failed to cause much damage to the Witch Army.
As night fell, when Raibul's Indian army thought that the Mi army was about to attack outside the city and was in panic all day long, the situation on the battlefield quietly changed again.
The clerks who arrived at Tidreger only sent a thug to kill south at a speed of over a thousand meters, and the target was directed to Visakhapatnam.
In order to speed up the assault speed, in addition to the Diying Armored Brigade, Diping was about 1,000 meters away.
Although the assault speed is not fast and much slower than the sword army, it is already very good for the heavy armored army.
Due to various factors, Gujarad, who was already busy, received news that the concave army was attacking Visakhapatnam until the early morning of the mouth.
When he understood, it was too late.
Chapter completed!
