Chapter 167: Pressure is the driving force

Outside the city of Visakhapatnam, Fu Weimin adjusted his tactics to allow the Armored Brigade, who was responsible for the third and second, to directly attack the port area, and the scattered Armored Brigade and the scattered Armored Brigade were responsible for surrounding Visakhapatnam. Although this attack would put the assault troops at greater risk, Fu Weimin had no other choice in order to attack the port area as soon as possible.

When Pei Chengyi arranged the combat mission, Fu Weimin had a lot of opinions.

The weak army is not a strategic responsive army, and rapid assault is not the combat method they are good at. This is not the main problem. As an armored force, the concave army must have strong assault capabilities. In Fu Weimin's view, the biggest problem is to leave the support force and support force behind, and a force must be distributed to assist the Wu army in attacking Laibul. Only the combat brigade advanced southward. When arranging tactical tasks, Fu Weimin had to consider it again and finally arranged only three combat brigades to perform assault tasks. In addition, the combat brigade was responsible for transporting ammunition and medicine.

It’s not that Fu Weimin doesn’t believe Pei Chengyi’s guarantee, but that he doesn’t want to fight a war that he is unsure.

In Fu Weimin's view, as long as the ammunition and drug resources can be guaranteed, it is not a problem to attack Visakhapatnam. Not to mention the three combat brigades, even if there are only thugs and one combat brigade, they have the ability to defeat Visakhapatnam. The key is material supplies. As a heavy armored army, ammunition and drug resources are the basis of the combat effectiveness of the troops.

When the troops head south, they carry not three-day combat supplies, but the sky's combat supplies.

If the amphibious assault fleet can be provided, the ark army can at least stick to the old world under normal combat intensity. If Visakhapatnam can be successfully captured and from attack to defense, they can stick to the old world. According to the combat plan formulated by Pei Chengyi, the engineering troops will arrive within 2 days after the ark army occupy the Visakhapatnam military port. Repairing the port infrastructure will require about thugs. In other words, as long as the Jiujun captures the military port by surprise, the combat supplies sent by the transport ships will be obtained within the old world. At that time, the artillery left behind will be sent by the amphibious assault fleet. The Jiujun will use Visakhapatnam as a base and advance southwest along the coastline to sweep the rear of Haidebala.

Fu Weimin did not object to this battle plan.

It can be said that he is also very supportive because he will definitely capture Hyderabala, and the faster the better.

The key question is, can the concave army capture Visakhapatnam without support?

The assault began before dawn. After dawn, the armored brigade of Dicao Thugs was stubbornly resisted by the Indian army about a kilometer away from the port area.

Although when choosing the offensive route, Fu Weimin asked the Dikao thugs to avoid the main urban area and try to choose a relatively spacious street to launch an attack, the outer periphery of the Visakhapatnam military port is the city area, and it is impossible to completely avoid the city area. It is necessary to break through the defense line set up by the Indian army in the city.

The fierce battle lasted for an hour, and the Armored Brigade only advanced less than 2 kilometers.

The news was quickly fed back to the front line command center. Yuan Chenhao, who was in charge of tactical coordination, immediately ordered the amphibious assault fleet to dispatch carrier-based attack aircraft to provide air support to the concave army.

At this time, the Thunder Armored Brigade and the Thunder Armored Brigade had already been launched outside the city of Visakhapatnam.

The bombing lasted less than a minute. After the attack aircraft that served as support mission dropped all the ammunition, it left the battlefield and returned to the fleet.

It has to be admitted that the strike capability of the amphibious assault fleet is far inferior to that of the aircraft carrier battle group.

Although it can provide direct fire support to ground troops and even provide fire support within the gate-meter range when using low-collective damage ammunition such as small-diameter bombs and guided rockets, the scale of the amphibious assault fleet is not as large-scale escort warships as aircraft carrier battle groups and do not carry many attack aircraft. More importantly, the amphibious assault fleet does not have large escort warships equipped with large-caliber electric-impact guns, so it cannot provide artillery support to ground troops, and its support capacity in large-scale combat is far inferior to that of aircraft carrier battle groups.

The battle that took place in downtown Visakhapatnam is enough to illustrate the problem.

After the air support was completed, the Armored Brigade of the No. 2 had to stop advancing and wait for the next round of air support. Although the amphibious assault fleet was active in the offshore and was less than 1,000 meters away from the battlefield, the interval between the two rounds of air support was more than 1,000 minutes, and the Indian army had enough time to launch a counterattack.

The battle lasted until the afternoon of that day. The Armored Brigade of Dicao only advanced a thousand meters, and was still a thousand meters away from the port area.

At this time, the significance of continuing the assault was no longer great. The Indian army used the few hours in the morning to deploy defensive positions within the port area and prepared to blow up the infrastructure. As long as the assault troops enter the port area, the Indian army will blow up the remaining infrastructure.

Fu Weimin had to let the Armored Brigade, who was responsible for transporting ammunition and medicine, go around to the southwest of Visakhapat, launch an attack from the flank of the Indian defense line, and open up a second offensive route.

It was not until dark that the 4th Armored Brigade of the No. 4th Armored Brigade was the first to enter the port area.

The Indian army was forced to retreat to the city and began to blow up infrastructure in the port.

Pei Chengyi was helpless in the battle of Visakhapatnam. Fortunately, when formulating the tactical plan, Pei Chengyi considered that the Indian army would blow up the port infrastructure. More importantly, Visakhapatnam was bombed many times, and the infrastructure damage was very serious. Even if the Indian army did not actively destroy it, the weak army would have to arrange engineering troops to repair the infrastructure after occupying the port area. This is why Pei Chengyi had already made relevant preparations. The engineering troops were on standby at Canning Port, and a large number of engineering equipment were ready to be loaded. Because the transport ships did not have independent delivery capabilities, they had to wait until the amphibious assault fleet would return to Canning Port after the depressed army occupied Visakhapatnam and sent the engineering troops there. Although this would be delayed for 2 days, compared with restoring the port facilities, Xinlian could not do anything.

The key is whether the concave army can successfully capture the Visakhapatnam military port.

As the Otter Armored Brigade entered the port area, Pei Chengyi had nothing to worry about. The Indian army would definitely fight stubbornly in the city, but with the Indian army's combat effectiveness, it would not pose much threat to the Jiaojun. After annihilation of the remaining Indian army in the port area, the amphibious assault fleet would send the carrying of combat materials ashore. With the combat capability of the army, it would not be a problem to hold on to Visakhapatnam for a few days.

At this time, the witch army had already begun to attack Laibule.

After killing Gundia's Indian army, the poor army arrived in Dalaipur in the evening of the mouth and the sun. Although the Indian army quickly adjusted its defense line after discovering that the depressed army went south to attack Visakhapatnam and focused on the west, the Indian army's defense deployment was not fully in place before the arrival of the flying army.

The problem is that the Nu Army's offensive preparations were not in place either.

When leaving Jabalpur, the Nu army only carried combat supplies for 3 days. Because the battle in Gundia was fierce, the consumption rate of the Wu army exceeded the pre-estimation.

When we arrived in the suburbs of Dalaipur, the witch army had no more combat supplies.

That night, the Wu army focused on building a line of defense.

The train carrying combat supplies had already departed in the afternoon of the junction day and was expected to arrive in Gondia on the morning of the Ming Ri. Because Nagpur had not yet been captured, the railway line from Jabalpur to Gondia was threatened by the Indian army, so Pei Chengyi sent a train at one time, transporting a total of 4 tons of combat supplies to the witch army.

The question now is whether to concentrate on capturing Nagpur.

From the perspective of attacking Raipur, only by first capturing Nagpur can the safety of the supply line be ensured. Although the Indian army did not pose a threat to Jabalpur for the time being, after the witch army attacked Raipur, they would definitely be unable to defend the supply line, and the Indian army would seize the opportunity to destroy the railway line from Jabalpur to Gundia.

It has to be admitted that the Indian army commanders are not all mediocre people.

During the day and night, the Indian army stationed in Perta began to harass the witch army.

When he received the news, Pei Chengyi was also very surprised because the Indian army did not launch a large-scale counterattack, but attacked the defense line of the Medicine Army with a small infiltration, forcing the Mi army to run around. Of course, this is a bit serious. The Mi army is originally a strategic reactive army and is very good at small-scale assault wars. It is not a problem to deal with the harassment of the Indian army. The problem is that the Mi army must concentrate its efforts to deal with the Indian army's large-scale harassment troops, and it is definitely unable to attack Nagpur. Besides, the only one deployed in the direction of Nagpur is the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Mi army, and the other two combat brigades are scattered on the defense line. It is impossible to concentrate forces to attack Nagpur at all.

The Indian army's counterattack exposed the Indian army's intention, which was to cut off the supply line of the Wu army.

At this point, it is unlikely to attack Raipur.

In fact, Pei Chengyi never thought of attacking Raipur.

The performance of Mi Army, Wu Army and the Concave Army in the east was all serving the attack on Surat.

During the day and night, in addition to the Hongjun preparing for attack in the east of Surat, the army led the army to defend the left wing of the defense line and stood in the south of the Hongjun. The army had arrived in Nendubar, and the sword army defended the rear defense line. In other words, Pei Chengyi concentrated his pounds in the direction of Surat. Even if the army led the army and sword army were eliminated, they could still use three armies to attack Surat.

The three armies have not many troops, but don’t underestimate the Concave Army!

At this time, all four heavy armored troops of the Republic Army participated in the war, and the wounded troops led the combat operations against New Delhi. The Wu army shouldered the heavy responsibility of attacking Raipur. The weak army had arrived in Visakhapatnam, and the fallen army was the absolute main force in attacking Surat. At the same time, four heavy armored troops were sent, which was related to the purpose of the battle, and invisibly put pressure on the four heavy armored troops, allowing the four heavy armored troops to compete for their strength.

Pei Chengyi is very confident that he will not fall behind.

In fact, the commanders of the four heavy armored troops were also very clear that this battle is likely to conquer the fate of a soldier.

The army is imperative to lay off employees. The strategic responsive army needs to lay off, and the heavy armored army must also be cut. Although there have been rumors that all heavy armored troops will not be cut off at one time. After all, the Republic has tens of millions of square kilometers of land and the land border is more than 20,000 kilometers long. Even if it starts from the protection of local security, it is necessary to retain the four heavy armored troops. It is absolutely not necessary to retain the heavy armored troops. It is very good to retain the heavy armored troops after the war.

The question is here, which heavy armored army was cut off?

Although neither the General Staff nor the Ministry of National Defense made formal statements on the issue of disarmament, according to the views of most people, the Wushu Army and the Ao Army are definitely not among the reductions. Because these two armies are too famous and have a high position in the army, hundreds of generals emerged from these two armies, and have a very strong influence. If the Wushu Army and the Ao Army are not laid off, they can only cut down the Ao Army or the Ao Army. Even if the officers and soldiers who fell into the army do not believe that they will be cut, the influence of the Ao Army is not inferior to that of the Wushu Army. However, in the absence of a conclusion, no matter whether it is the Wushu Army or the Ao Army, there is a possibility of being cut. Which army is cut depends on who has the worst performance.

At this point, Hongjun's position is the most embarrassing.

Although the army had the latest participation in the war, the army shouldered the important task of capturing New Delhi. As long as New Delhi is successfully captured, its army will become famous all over the world and its military achievements will be recognized. The Wushu Army participated in the war relatively late, but it made great contributions in the attack on Bhopal. Now it is attacking Raipur, and the two battles are enough to consolidate the position of the Medicine Army. The Gua Army participated in the war earlier, and attacking Kolkata was a great contribution. Now it has occupied Visakhapatnam and may also shoulder the important task of attacking Hydebala. The military achievements are definitely different.

However, the Ao Army first participated in the war, but in the previous few battles, they all competed with the other three: "A lot of credit was stolen by the sword army and the army. The attack on Patna was not difficult. The capture of Allah Abad was basically a victory by siege. If you could not perform well in Surat, the Ao Army would be the least effective of the four heavily armored troops. In Qu Maokang's words, if you want to keep the Ao Army's number, you must not only defeat Surat, but also continue to work hard to capture Mumbai!

Before taking the troops to the front line, Qu Maokang asked the guards to prepare a body bag for him.

If you fail, you will be successful.

In order to show their determination and will, more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of Cong Jun spontaneously launched a joint campaign, sending the thug a piece of green rice long and a "co-branded letter filled with the names of more than 30,000 soldiers to the front line command center.

Although this approach is a bit naive and extreme, it is enough to convince Pei Chengyi that Hongjun will not return empty-handed.

It seemed that he had a premonition that the Ao Army would fight desperately. Pei Chengyi adjusted his combat deployment day and night, allowing the artillery troops of the guide army, Wan and Dajun to obey the dispatch of the front line command at any time and were ready to provide artillery support for the Ao Army. Including the two artillery brigades of the Ao Army, a total of one artillery brigade was invested. In the words of Yuan Chenhao, as long as the artillery brigade performed normally, even if there was no air support, the Ao Army could tear open the Indian army's defense line.

In the early morning of Mingri, the combat operation to attack Surat officially began.

Only 2 days later, the fallen army must enter Surat within 2 days, cut off the railway line to Mumbai, and occupy Surat Shang Port.

After the battle started, the three combat brigades of the Concai Army took the lead and rushed to the front line.

Of course, Pei Chengyi would not give up air support because the artillery fire support is strong enough. More importantly, the main force supporting the Hong Army is not the tactical aviation and army aviation, but the fleet that has been on standby. If we count the air support and artillery fire support provided by the fleet, Pei Chengyi invested about one-third of the support force in the direction of Surat.

If you can't win if you fight like this, there is nothing to expect.

With just one round of impact, the Armored Brigade was the first to break through the Indian Army's defense line. Qu Maokang quickly adjusted his tactics. When the Armored Brigade was attacking the Indian Army's deep positions, the main forces of the Dido Armored Brigade and the Dimi Mechanized Infantry Brigade entered from the breakthrough point and quickly expanded the breakthrough point on both sides of the DiTao Armored Brigade.

There is no doubt that only the heavy armored army can do such a way of fighting.

If the Strategic Response Army is allowed to take on the assault mission, it will either assault in depth or expand the breakthrough, and it will be impossible to complete two tasks at the same time.

When the battle was dawn, the fallen army had already advanced a thousand meters of the ditch.

This speed is not fast, but the effect is very outstanding. Because it is not just an assault, Hongjun does not have the problem of being unstable.

Of course, the advance did not stop here, and the officers and soldiers of each unit attacked while having breakfast.

Seeing that the Ao Army was crazy, Pei Chengyi did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the Ao Army to fill the loopholes behind the Ao Army and clean up the battlefield. He also ordered the criminal army, who was still in Nendubar, to follow up immediately, let the army concentrate on guarding the flanks, and to launch an attack with the Hong army, so as not to suddenly advance and besiege the Indian army.

In fact, Pei Chengyi was a little over-concerned.

Because the assault speed of the Concave Army was too fast, the Indian army had no time to adjust its defense deployment. Therefore, even if the Card Army failed to keep up with the progress of the Hong Army, the Indian army would not be able to besiege the Hong Army. Besides, during the assault operation, the situation on the battlefield was very chaotic. The two wings of the Armored Brigade of the Concave Thug who was responsible for the pre-sprint mission were impossible for the Indian army to pose a threat to the assault troops.

For the heavy armored army, only by being fierce can one completely explode the combat power.

When it got dark again, the Armored Brigade of the Talented Brigade had already reached outside Surat City, and the reconnaissance troops who were rushing to the front also took advantage of the Indian army's opportunity to adjust their defense and went around the city.

At this time, Pei Chengyi had to stop.

It is not that the damage of the gargoyles was too great, but that the fallen army and the Deei army could not keep up with the pace of the fallen army. According to the tactical plan formulated by Pei Chengyi, before the Hong army invaded the city of Surat, the army had to build a defense line south of Surat to prevent the Indian army from reinforced Surat from Mumbai. The Deei army had to cover the engineering troops to arrive in Surat and repair the damaged railway line so as to deliver the combat materials hoarded in Nendubar to the attacking troops. More importantly, the officers and soldiers of the Hong army had already fought. Although the ultimate ability of people was not only Binbushi, the fierce battle put a lot of pressure on the officers and soldiers. No matter what, before attacking the city of Surat, it is better to let the officers and soldiers maintain their spirits.

Qu Maokang did not disobey Pei Chengyi's orders, not that Qu Maokang did not want to disobey the orders, but could not disobey, because after a whole day of shooting, the ammunition of each unit was about to be announced. No matter how powerful the assault ability was, the tanks and tanks had no shells and infantry had no bullets, so they would definitely not be able to win.

When the officers and soldiers who fell into the army began to enjoy the steaming supper, the Indian army was eager to adjust their deployment.

The battle did not end at this time, because the assault troops were advancing westward in the south of the concave army, and the troops headed directly to Nausari, south of Surat.

Because he was too concerned about the Hongjun, the Indian army did not realize that the much smaller outgoing army posed a greater threat to Surat.

In the early morning of the past, news came that the army had left the army to surround Nausari.

Pei Chengyi only breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The first stage of the attack went smoothly, and it was only a matter of time to capture Surat.
Chapter completed!
