In order to fight against the world's largest air force, the Chinese Federal Army, India dispatched 18 fighter jet units, accounting for 70% of the total air force's strength, with the purpose of cooperating with ground firepower and maintaining its own basic air force defense.

India also made careful preparations for this India-Pakistan War, and it took a lot of effort to deploy troops. 21 infantry divisions, 3 armored divisions and 5 armored brigades were divided into three clusters in total.

Ten divisions were along the actual control line, including 8 infantry divisions and 2 armored divisions. This was their first assault cluster and the main force of this battle.

The other 8 divisions and 1 armored brigade were deployed in the Indian-controlled Kashmir area. As strategic reserves, they will only be put into the front-line battlefield when the battle is in a stalemate or failure.

The remaining 6 infantry divisions and 4 armored brigades are selected to be arranged on the ceasefire line signed by India and Pakistan. They are the second assault cluster of the Indian army, strategically equivalent to partial divisions and serve as the flank of the front battlefield.

The armored forces each equipped with each of these three combat clusters have different emphasis, and most of the armored forces are concentrated in the first and second combat clusters to serve as the core assault force to break through the Pakistani defense line.

The highest goal is to occupy the Kashmir region, and then let the United Nations intervene in mediation and force the Chinese federal government to make political concessions.

If the highest goal cannot be achieved, a second goal is implemented, separate East Pakistan and establish a top Bangladesh to restrict Pakistan's development.

If neither of the above goals can be achieved, then the front line must be reduced, retreated to the country, and seek help from NATO allies, striving to defend the original circle of power, and never allow a single inch of territory to be lost.

India. Bangladesh and Pakistan were originally the same colony in India before the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.

Bengal converted to Islam in the 13th century. By the 16th century, it developed into the most densely populated, economically developed and culturally prosperous region on the subcontinent. It was conquered by the Mughal Empire in the 17th century, and became a British colony in the second half of the 18th century, becoming a province of British India.

In 1947, India and Pakistan were divided, and Bangladesh was divided: West Bengal was born into India, and East Bengal was born into Pakistan. That is, East Pakistan. The division standard is that religious beliefs are different (the current Bangladesh and Pakistan believe in Islam, not Hinduism.

So you will see a very strange phenomenon on the map. Bangladesh, Pakistan, is actually separated by an entire India. Such a territorial division can only be thought of by the British.

Even if you leave South Asia, you will have to lay a security risk here, causing constant disputes between India and Pakistan.

After coming out of the Commonwealth**, India has been following China's industrialization model in recent years and continuously developing its own economy.

Unfortunately, due to the legacy of the caste system and British colonial policy, there are constant contradictions in society, and there are general unrest, hunger and confusion, and the development momentum is once sluggish.

The leadership is mostly pro-Western faction in the colonial period. Over the past few years, the Cold War between the Chinese Federation and NATO has provided good opportunities for India's development.

First of all, it is a geographical advantage. The Western world urgently needs a bridgehead to curb China's development, and various industrial support and economic funding support are all supporting India's social development. The industrialization process and urbanization are developing quite rapidly, much better than India in the original time and space.

This also casts India ambitions and restlessness. Judging from the experience of World War II, a country with one million standing troops can be called a world power.

India has basically owned the world's mainstream advanced weapons. One-third of the new generation of main battle tanks, jet fighters, advanced ocean warships, and the army are equipped with assault rifles.

Such military power even surpasses that of the original suzerain country Britain. No wonder Ah Sange is ambitious and wants to compete with China in Kashmir.

After all, as the fourth largest global military force in the open, India is not willing to live as cowardly as before.

But in the eyes of traditional industrial powers, India's so-called fourth military power is based on the premise of not considering industrial potential. Moreover, Britain and France are now mainly engaged in economic development and scientific and technological research and development, and military expenditure is very low.

Since global hegemony is no longer necessary and cannot be maintained, the standing army of Britain and France is pitifully small.

Taking into account the industrial production potential of the two countries, even Germany, which ranks third, said it was under great pressure.

Unfortunately, Indian politicians cannot see these. They are still superstitious about the strategic view of World War II, and are both diplomatic and have no stance. They are despised by many countries, including the United States.

This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese Federation is unwilling to help India. Another reason is of course that it does not want a strong competitor to appear around it.

Half a century ago, Japan's rise brought deep pain to China, and it is still fresh in memory.

Fortunately, the development strategy of curbing India has been successful, and this so-called South Asian power is only just a demonstration. Imagining that with the support of the Western camp, challenging the hegemony of the Chinese Federation in Asia will inevitably suffer a painful failure.

At the end of February 1970, India began the deployment of their air force, changing from the western and capital areas that were usually focused on to the west.

For the air force that had not been prepared for this combat, the Indian military also mobilized to the west, closely monitoring other border areas of India and Pakistan, and made complete preparations for this India-Pakistan war.

The air force that India invested in this battle was also divided into three clusters, deployed in a cascade, providing air support to the three clusters of ground forces.

The air force fleets closest to the Kashmir combat area are all deployed in Srinaga and are responsible for the mission of competing for air supremacy and providing air support to the first assault cluster on the ground.

In order to achieve this tactical goal, the Indian military deployed the most advanced air fighters and attack aircraft here, including a large number of Eastern Europe-made fighter jets, with a total of 8 fighter squadrons, specifically responsible for seizing air supremacy with Pakistan.

There are also bombers of two attack aircraft squadrons to provide firepower support to the first assault cluster.

For the previous two India-Pakistan wars, India undoubtedly had the advantage, but with the interference of China and the United States, India failed to completely control the Kashmir region.

No matter who it is, it is unwilling to have a powerful country in South Asia. The United States and the entire NATO support India only requires the cultivation of a dog that can bite people, rather than a tiger that can eat people.

This time, both China and the United States were dragged down by the chaos in North China and the Middle East, and the power in South Asia became a vacuum. India is bound to win this India-Pakistan war.

The highest goal was to achieve real victory and completely occupy Kashmir. Then become a world-wide power!

But the Indians did not know that the Chinese Federation had already prepared and, on the other side of Kashmir, cooperated with Pakistan to gather troops in full swing.

Although the main overseas military forces were delayed in East Africa and the Middle East, the Chinese Federation also happened to want to experiment with a new tactical system and a new tactical weapon that has not yet been put into the actual battlefield.

With melee weapons such as raiding mechas, occupation will no longer be a difficult problem to solve. You should know that in the past modern war history, various examples of being dragged down by street fighting and causing total collapse are common.

Napoleon of France, Hitler of Germany, and the United States against Vietnam in the original historical time and space, the Soviet Union against Afghanistan were all harassed by various guerrilla warfares, which eventually led to defeat.

This is exactly what the top leaders of the Chinese Federation are concerned about. If they are delayed by both battlefields at the same time, then the huge military spending alone will be enough to crush the country's fiscal system.

Compared with India's expansion-oriented strategy, Pakistan's defense policy basically reflects their conservatism. Unlike the Indians' ambitions, Pakistan clearly knows its strength and maintains a very good cooperative relationship with the Chinese Federation, which does not advocate military expansion.

Even Pakistan itself is a federal member of the Chinese Federation and exists as a vassal state of China.

Due to geographical reasons, China rarely expands to South Asia, and even faces the domineering India, there is no precedent for taking the initiative.

This is due to the complex terrain and mountain barriers, and the cost of expedition to South Asia is too high. Russia or the Soviet Union before may be able to launch a land attack from top to bottom.

If China wants to expand to the west, it must travel through the rarely visited and rolling mountains. The difficulty of logistics supply is almost the same as landing on the moon.

Moreover, the main expansion target of the Chinese Federation is now in North Africa, and it is mainly private enterprises. The country's overseas standing military forces are sent to the Middle East to compete with the United States there.

As a peripheral member of the Chinese Federation, Pakistan's national policy is to safeguard national standards, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

It is strongly opposed to India's domination of South Asia and actively strives to strengthen military cooperation with other small South Asian countries, with the goal of jointly fighting against India's expansion.

This strategy is also praised by China, and the top leaders of the Chinese Federation have always supported such a move. Since it is difficult to achieve the goal of establishing effective rule in South Asia, it is better to maintain the division of this region and avoid any unified and powerful landlocked country that threatens China's Asian hegemony.

After the Second India-Pakistan War, Pakistan had signed a non-aggression treaty with India, and had no move to provoke India at all.

At home, Pakistan has only made a decision to appropriately increase military spending under the "strong suggestion" of the Chinese Federation, and to build an armed force that is compatible with its own "safety environment" by purchasing bulk goods from Chinese weapons manufacturers.

Although no matter how you look at it, you are paying protection fees to the suzerain state.

However, it is undeniable that with the "friendly help" of Chinese weapons manufacturers, Pakistan has finally improved its modernization level of weapons and equipment.

The source of weapons was basically introduced from China, but now it has begun to actively implement weapons and has written this development policy into the country's development outline.

Unlike India's strategy that focuses on purchasing, Pakistan's weapons purchase volume has always been small. However, there are many varieties. Pakistani government officials have also emphasized this desire to develop their own defense industry on many occasions and are committed to improving their military industrial production capacity.

While strengthening the construction of its own regular army, Pakistan is also constantly advancing the construction of paramilitary troops, striving to maintain sufficient reserves and increase the country's war potential.

After joining the Chinese Federation to become a member of it, Pakistan formulated its national military principles and concentrated its main military forces in the country with the goal of dealing with possible invasions from India.

Four-fifths of all the troops were deployed on the eastern border, and then the remaining troops were deployed on the western border, mainly guarding against Iran.

Given the geographical characteristics of its narrow and long territory and depth, like many small countries, Pakistan emphasizes "preemptive action" and "quick battles and quick decisions", and it is necessary to avoid the long-term war of attrition.

What's more, before the industrial system was fully established, as a traditional agricultural country, what Pakistan feared most was protracted war.

In real history, China's protracted war is also a joke. Practice has proved that agricultural countries are most likely to be divided and occupied. Because farmers don't care at all about who the ruler of the country is.

Looking at China in history, the huge pseudo-government system is shocking. Not to mention, Jiannu’s entry into the Pass itself illustrates the national belief issues that exist in the agricultural country itself.

In industrialized countries, due to the different accumulation efficiency of materials, the different national cohesion in the country, and the political belief brought by universal knowledge education, it makes it difficult for the country to be occupied by other countries.

Historically, Germany has not established an effective rule over Europe, and after occupying France, it has no real benefits, but has lengthened the front line.

In contrast, Japan established a complete industrial system in the puppet Manchukuo area, obtained a large amount of food and minerals, and was able to provide supplies to the huge army.

Let’s talk about Pakistan, because of its conservative military strategy, it will naturally be reflected in their national defense construction.

Regarding the development of its own armed forces, Pakistan and India have different Great Leap Forward. They pay more attention to the policy of steady expansion of the army, and strive to achieve the modernization of military weapons and equipment.

Compared to India's weak industrial and educational foundation, but blindly expanding the number of equipment, Pakistan is obviously more calm and rational. They only plan to maintain a balance of power in terms of the number of troops and then choose to gain a certain advantage in weapons and equipment.

As for nuclear weapons, all countries in the world want to do it, but currently only the United States and China have corresponding technologies, and even the Germans' progress is just sloppy.

Because it signed a jump to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons with the United States, the Chinese Federation also resolutely refused to export nuclear weapons technology to its dependent countries, which is a national policy that cannot be changed.

With the support of the Chinese Federation, Pakistan also has its own armed forces, including the three armed forces of the sea, the army and the air, with 550,000 active troops. Among them, the army accounts for 510,000 and the air force has 38,000. As for the navy, there are only two poor missile frigates and three conventional power submarines.

Such military forces can basically only be used to fight pirates.

Therefore, Pakistan's defense mainly relies on their army forces. By purchasing weapons from Chinese weapons manufacturers, they established 22 reorganization divisions, of which 17 need to be deployed in the Kashmir region for a long time!

Among these 17 divisions, there are 1 light armored division, 5 ** armored brigades, and 16 infantry divisions, with about 390,000 men.

This time, after receiving a note from the Chinese Federation, learning that India's ambitions for the Kashmir region, the Pakistani government had to urgently send two infantry divisions, an armored division, and two ** armored brigades to Kashmir.

This is equivalent to investing the country's armored forces and most of the well-equipped infantry main divisions into the Kashmir region, with a total force of up to 500,000, and vowing to block India's troops.

To this end, the Pakistani government has also conducted an emergency mobilization secretly at home, with a reserve force of about 500,000 people quietly gathering, and announced that starting from March, the National Guard, with a total of 180,000 people, will also cancel leave.

Although these troops are not trained enough and have poor weapons supply, they are still good for maintaining public order, and it is also just in case.

Because a large number of troops were drawn and put into the surrounding areas of Kashmir, other defense lines would inevitably be empty, and only three standing infantry divisions were maintained on other borders with India.

The rest are used to charge the number of people in reserves to avoid being discovered by the Indian side.

The same is true for the air force. All 10 fighter squadrons gathered eight in the Kashmir region, including all advanced fighter jets purchased from China, with the aim of competing with India for air supremacy, and 100 bombers provided additional fire support to ground forces.

Both India and Pakistan have invested huge forces in Kashmir, and Pakistan is the whole country's army to fight against India.

India has a total of 21 infantry divisions, 3 armored divisions and 5 armored brigades, a total of 650,000 people.

There are 634 combat aircraft, a total of 3,000 armored vehicles, including tanks, and more than 2,000 cannons of various caliber, of which there are no less than 300 large-caliber artillery above 155 mm.

In contrast, Pakistan has only 18 infantry divisions, 2 armored divisions, and 7 ** armored brigades, with a total number of troops of 500,000.

There are 274 combat aircraft and 2,970 armored vehicles. The total number of artillery artillery in various caliber exceeds 1,400, of which the number of large-caliber artillery that has been put into the battlefield is more than India, with more than 400.

There are also 43 203mm cannons purchased from China, which is a powerful firepower that even the Indian army has not yet mastered. (To be continued...)
