The second Russian and Russian leaders and asked for the preparation of the thugs, ". On the day of the moon, the four leaders are now... Beichuan University, and they are discussing the issue of humanitarian aid and the issue of Indian political system. From this time on, the four leaders have government affairs, so the four leaders will last until the old month at most. In other words, they will either achieve substantial results before this or wait until the next meeting to resolve the problem.

On October 1st, Pei Chengyi ended the visit of grassroots troops and returned to Vozilabad.

When Pei Chengyi saw Yuan Chenhao who came to pick him up at the airport, he knew there was something wrong.

"Sent from the Ministry of National Defense." Yuan Chenhao handed a document to Pei Chengyi, "The distribution of assets of American companies in India is mainly factories distributed in southern India, and factories in the occupied areas are under control. In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of National Defense, I adjusted the bombing Jige

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and quickly looked through it. "When did it send it?"

"Three days ago." Yuan Chenhao smiled bitterly and said, "It's very sudden. The Ministry of National Defense asked us to keep it strictly confidential. I heard that the relevant news has not been announced yet."

“Does it have any impact on combat operations?

"The impact must be, but it's not very obvious. It's mainly to avoid these factories during bombing. In the words of the Ministry of National Defense, these factories were bought by Chinese companies with money. If they are blown up, we have to bear the losses."

"What if it was deliberately destroyed by the Indian army?"

"That's nothing to do with us

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then said, "How can I be sure that it was us who bombed it or was deliberately destroyed by the Indian army?"

"How do I know?" Yuan Hanhao glanced at Pei Chengyi and said, "I heard that this matter was resumed. The first one was arranged. We just need to bomb. Other matters will be responsible for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"That's fine, it won't have much impact on us anyway

"How is the situation at the grassroots level?"

“The problem is serious.

Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "How to say it, the thoughts and emotions of officers and soldiers are very complicated. Most officers and soldiers are not considering the issue of war. What is the most question that officers and soldiers ask after I got to the grassroots level?

"What?" Yuan Chenhao took out a cigarette.

Taking the cigarette handed over, Pei Chengyi did not rush to light it and said, "Whether it is a soldier or a grassroots officer, they are asking about the reorganization of the troops.

"adaptation?"

"That is the legendary third military reform."

Yuan Chenhao immediately frowned.

"I have to admit that the commanders of each army have done a good job of ideological work." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Although the spirit of grassroots officers and soldiers is still very tired, some troops still have obvious war-weariness, but when it comes to military reform, almost all troops want to go to the battlefield as soon as possible."

“What’s going on with military reform?”

Pei Chengyi glanced at Yuan Chenhao and said, "I heard from you too. It probably means that after this war, the head of state will significantly reduce the size of the army, and the main target of the reduction is the army."

"Reduce the Army?" Yuan Chenhao immediately showed a look of surprise and said, "It's too outrageous. The Army only has 700,000 troops. If it is reduced, how many can it be left? Besides, the land of tens of millions of square kilometers and the number of more than one billion people is only 700,000 troops, is not a big deal at all.

“The size of the army is not determined by the land area and population.

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment. There was no refutation. The fact is true. When national strategic security is not seriously threatened, the land area and population are not the main factors that determine the size of the army. The United States' land area is not much different from that of the Republic, and its total army's total strength was reduced to about 10,000 after the Iran War; Russia's land area is much larger than that of the Republic, and its total army's total strength is only about 10,000; Canada, Australia, and Brazil not to mention the size of the army is much smaller than that of the Republic. The same is true for the population, India's population is 100 million, but the size of the army before the outbreak of the war

4 times that of the Republic; Pakistan has a large population of more than B, and its army size is comparable to that of the Republic; Iran, whose population is only the gills of the Republic, has an army size that is not smaller than that of the Republic. Simply put, there are two main factors that determine the size of the army: one is national strategic security, and the other is the basic strategy of the country. The former is a reference factor for general countries. The latter is a reference factor for major powers. In other words, if the main purpose is to defend the local area, the size of the army should be equivalent to external threats; if the main purpose is to use troops to Sichuan, the size of the army should be equivalent to the level of war that may break out.

Everyone knows that the Indian War is likely to be the last local war in the surrounding areas fought by the Republic, and the Republic does not have a serious strategic threat. Without continuing to use large-scale foreign troops, the Republic has no reason to maintain a large-scale army.

"Hey!" Yuan Chenhao sighed and said, "It seems that many people are ready to retire.

"What's the meaning?"

"You all think that cuts should be cut, and rumors are mostly not rumors, but facts."

"I am not the head of state, what do I mean?" Pei Chengyi laughed and said, "Besides, from a personal standpoint, I don't want to disarmament."

“That’s just a personal position.

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "All right, it's useless to say this. How is the situation of the front-line command?"

"The combat plan has been formulated, I'm waiting for you to make the decision.

"That's good, let's deal with this matter quickly

After returning to the front line command center, Pei Chengyi immediately started working and reviewed the combat plan formulated by Yuan Chenhao one by one.

It has to be admitted that Yuan Chenhao's ability to deal with details is enough to relieve Pei Chengyi.

The purpose of the combat was clarified. The main focus of the combat strategy was to work in detail, that is, what means to achieve the goal, arrange combat tasks for each combat force, deploy corresponding coordination work, etc.

On the 28th of the Old Month, Pei Chengyi officially signed the combat plan.

However, on the last issue, Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao had a disagreement.

According to Pei Chengyi's initial idea, the combat operation will start on the old month's day, and at most it will be advanced to the old month's blade day, mainly all logistics preparations can only be reached on the 30th of the month. In fact, when Pei Chengyi returned to Wozilabad, the logistics preparations had already arrived. The ability to complete the logistics preparations three days in advance was closely related to Wang Yuanqing's personal intervention. Not to mention, the Ministry of Defense did not dare to delay the issue of dispatching combat materials; the maintenance of the Air Force and the Army Aviation combat aircraft was also completed several days in advance with the participation of manufacturers. Because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs participated, Bangladesh and Nepal sent additional engineers, and the construction of frontier airports and the land aviation base was completed in advance. Overall, the logistics preparations were much faster than Pei Chengyi expected.

The biggest problem has been solved, and the minor problem of several kilograms has also been solved.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Hydebala regime has always had differences in strategic defense. The hardliners led by Fernandez firmly advocated defending Hydebala to the death and never take a step back. The moderates led by Foreign Minister Tuto advocated retreating to Bengaluru and using Hydebala to consume the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. Even the most basic problems have not been solved, and the morale and fighting spirit of the Indian army can be imagined.

In fact, even without the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Pei Chengyi knew that the Indian army did not have much will to resist.

Since Fernandez took office, the morale of the Indian army began to shake. When Pei Chengyi arrived at the Ao Army, Fu Weimin was negotiating with the military police responsible for taking over the prisoners of war. He hoped to send a batch of transportation forces to send away the prisoners of war. At that time, the Ao Army had more than 20,000 prisoners of war. Because there were too many prisoners of war, the Ao Army had to prepare for the attack and could not take care of it at all, so Fu Weimin had to treat it differently and let the prisoners of war who were from Visakhapatnam. Although Fu Weimin thought of a better solution, it was to take the relatives of the prisoners of war to claim it and take it.

When he left the prisoners of war, he signed a letter of guarantee and promised not to join the army again. However, Fu Weimin did not report the matter in time and was severely criticized by Xiang Yinghui. After understanding the situation on the spot, Pei Chengyi personally called Xiang Yinghui and asked Fu Weimin to send a patrol team to nearby villages to confiscate weapons to avoid the trouble of releasing prisoners of war. In other words, Pei Chengyi also agreed to release the prisoners of war. With Pei Chengyi coming forward, Fu Weimin's life was much better, and he was also very grateful to Pei Chengyi. This reflected the situation of the Indian army from one aspect, that is, most Indian soldiers did not want to work for the Haidebala regime.

Because when Liu Xiaobin went to New Delhi, several agents were left to coordinate the communication between the front line command and the Indian Provisional Government, Pei Chengyi did not miss the opportunity to interrogate prisoners of war. In order to obtain the most accurate information, Pei Chengyi stayed in the decay for two more days and asked Yuan Chenhao to send several agents and officials of the Indian Provisional Government to interrogate prisoners of war together. The result of the interrogation made Pei Chengyi firmly determined to launch an attack in advance. The reason was very simple. The Haidebala regime not only disappointed the Indian officers and soldiers, but could not even guarantee the normal supply of the army. Many Indian officers and soldiers who voluntarily surrendered had only one requirement, that is, to have a full meal.

On the surface, this is the best news.

But what Pei Chengyi saw was potential danger. There is no doubt that the fundamental reason why Indian soldiers surrendered voluntarily was not that they did not want to fight, but that they could not fight. In other words, if the Haidebala regime solved the food problem, not only would there not be so many Indian soldiers surrender, but many Indian soldiers would also fight to the death.

The problem is here. Does the Hydebala regime have the ability to solve the food problem?

In the long run, it will definitely not be solved, but in the short run, there is such a possibility.

The thug month will be the third harvest month in India, especially in the southern region, because it is close to the tropics, temperature and precipitation are very suitable for planting high-yield rice. Although according to normal circumstances, the maturity period of Indian rice is 4 months, in the southern region close to the equator, the maturity period of rice is only 3 and a half months. According to the rules of agricultural planting in India, the rice harvest time in the southern region is in early March, mid-July and early month each year to control the main production areas of the southern region, so that the Haidebala regime can obtain the opportunity to collect grain, and the Haidebala regime will definitely give the expropriated grain to the army first. In this case, launching an attack one day earlier can reduce the pressure.

That's why Pei Chengyi decided to advance the attack time to the thug. It was at 2:30 am on the terrible day of October.

Yuan Chenhao thought it was inappropriate to do so.

To this end, Yuan Chenhao put forward three objections. First, the troops were not prepared for the offensive and launched an attack about an hour in advance, which could only make each unit participate in the battle hastily, and there would definitely be such troubles. Second, the combat troops that were attacking failed to enter the offensive position. If an attack was launched, it would inevitably lead to an extension of the offensive distance and encounter unexpected difficulties in the later stage. Third, the front line command promised to launch an attack only on the Old Moon Blade Day. Although it only took one day to fight, there was a suspicion of going back on the word, which would have an impact on the morale of the army.

Pei Chengyi felt that these three questions were not the problem at all.

Whether the troops are prepared for attack is not necessary at all, because according to the Republic Army's work, as long as they are active on the battlefield, even if they do not perform combat tasks and stay in the barracks, the combat troops must maintain a combat state. Besides, without any equipment, the Strategic Response Army can enter a combat state within the time of the Ninja Bu, and the heavy armored army can also enter a combat state within the time of the attack, and there are still thugs. Each unit will definitely be ready for combat. Because there is still enough time before the attack, the first batch of combat troops that launched the attack will definitely enter the offensive position on time, and even get several adjustment time for the time of the time of the time. As for the impact on the morale of the army, because the officers and soldiers are eager to fight, they all want to participate in the war and make contributions, so they will not have to worry about anything.

If you can't say anything about Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao won't say anything anymore.

In fact, this also reflects the problem of Yuan Chenhao's lack of experience. As an officer who was on the battlefield, many of Yuan Chenhao's performances were extreme. He was either too bold or too cautious, and he was not as calm and bold as Pei Chengyi. Yuan Chenhao would make aggressive mistakes. For example, when he suggested putting the main force in the Arabian Sea evenly and cautiously, he would make mistakes of gain and loss, and he would always worry about such problems and such problems. Of course, this cannot be blamed for him. After all, it was the first time that Yuan Chenhao had held such an important command work. Pei Chengyi made the same mistake on the peninsula battlefield back then, and Xiang Yinghui was the one who checked him at that time. Now he just needed to check for Yuan Chenhao.

Yuan Chenhao's performance also illustrates a problem, that is, the general was not refined in one day.

Napoleon once said that soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers. This sentence can also be said to the contrary. Only excellent soldiers can become generals. Except for some generals with strong backgrounds, strong backstages, and strong relationships, no general has not been able to get up from the grassroots level. In fact, almost all generals have performed well at work at the grassroots level, otherwise they would not be able to pass five levels and kill six generals and become one of the most selected generals.

After confirming the attack time, Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao once again reviewed the combat plan.

The old moon flies and the sun is high and the battle plan reaches the various combat troops.

Because there was no secret to the attack on Haidebala, Pei Chengyi contacted the Air Force Commander Zhang Zhongxian that afternoon and asked the Air Force to start bombing the Indian positions near Haidebala from the point of force, and continue until the attack began.

As the first bomb exploded near Hyderabala, the Indian battlefield, which had been silent for nearly a month, became lively again.

Thugs: Months are enough to make many people forget the pain, and it is enough to make more people fear the war.

Although the bombing did not come suddenly, it still caused an unreasonable psychological blow to the Indian army.

Pei Chengyi didn't know that within a month of the thug, Fernandez made a very serious mistake.

After retreating to Hydebala, Fernandez took over the Indian army. Although no one denied his military talent, Fernandez was always a naval general, not an army general. After becoming the Prime Minister of the Hydebala regime during the war, the first thing Fernandez did was to adapt the Indian army.

Doing this has some selfishness. After all, the troops that escaped from the north were trained by Gujarad.

In order to consolidate his territory, Fernandez must let the Indian army officers understand who is their commander. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, Fernandez did a very stupid thing, which is to disperse the main forces of the Indian army into the reserve forces. Although doing so can improve the combat effectiveness of the reserve forces and even allow some Indian army officers and soldiers to be promoted, the most direct result is that the combat effectiveness of the Indian army has generally declined, and no unit can be called the main force. The invisible result is that fear spreads rapidly in the Indian army.

Relying on deception, lies, agitation and other means, the Haidebala government brought up a large army. According to the Military Intelligence Bureau's estimates, when the attack was launched again, the Haidebala regime had more troops than Zhuoten. The problem is that among the 10,000 Indian soldiers, at least 40,000 were newly recruited. About 10,000 officers and soldiers had never been on the battlefield and did not know how terrifying the war was.

If the Indian army maintained its original organization, the Indian army, which was not well aware of the war, would be likely to become a victim of Hyderabal under the guidance of fanaticism, causing huge trouble to the Republican army. After Fernandez made this happen, Indian soldiers who had never been on the battlefield heard the rumors about the war, not only began to be afraid, but also completely lost their fighting spirit.

In fact, for those Indian soldiers who just want to make a living, who wants to be the target of slaughter?

It can be seen from this that the morale of the Indian army is indeed a very serious problem.

The bombing that lasted only a few hours completely destroyed the morale of the Indian army. When the Kul Army, who was in charge of the main offensive mission, left the offensive position, the gate of Hydebala was completely opened.

Relatively speaking, Fu Weimin, who was on the front line, understood the state of the Indian army better than Pei Chengyi.

The old moon friend was at 2 o'clock on the day. After the attack began, Fu Weimin issued a very special order to the third and second armored brigades who were in the assault mission, namely launching the assault at the fastest speed, regardless of the breakthrough, flank defense line and rear safety issues. Just rush forward, as long as there is electricity in the battery of the chariot, you cannot stop.

The assault turned into a race, and there was no big suspense in this battle.
Chapter completed!
