Chapter 1149 Active Strategy
After completing the division and encirclement of the two Indian infantry divisions, under the unified tactical task arrangement, the volunteer army quickly issued an ultimatum to the Indian ground troops in the ambush circle, which was restricted from putting down their weapons before midnight and surrendering.
Otherwise, what awaits Indian soldiers will be death and despair.
After learning that his rescue troops were blocked on the road, the commanders of the two Indian infantry divisions were already disappointed and thought that they were doomed now. Therefore, when facing the ultimatum of the "Pakistan Army", they had to hesitate to consider whether to accept it.
I know that now, the Indians are still kept in the dark and do not know that the Pakistani people are not fighting with them. This is also because the soldiers of the Volunteer Army are well-equipped and basically do not get out of the car to fight.
In order to implement the principle formulated by the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Federal Ministry of Defense to try to keep secret participation in the war, all the volunteer troops aided Pakistan have been replaced with a full set of Pakistani military uniforms, and the logo on the combat vehicles has also been sprayed again, allowing the Pakistan Army's military emblem to cover up the eye-catching head of the Canglong.
With all the personnel completing combat operations inside the vehicle, it is difficult for the Indian army to identify whether the other party is Chinese or Pakistani.
As for the issue of surrender, the psychological defense lines of the two Indian major generals are still a little loose. They are Indian nobles and of course they have a sense of honor, but it does not mean that they are willing to be executed generously.
Now, he is invading Pakistan. He is not guarding the sacred motherland. Why bother to lose his life?
Since we cannot resist the enemy's offensive now, why not choose to surrender to the enemy? In this way, at least we can make the Indian soldiers below sacrifice less.
However, the two division commanders were unwilling to bear the responsibility of surrender. In military principles, they had no right to make such a decision, so they must be approved by the highest commander of the Central Army. Without a lieutenant general or above, surrender is equivalent to treason.
Even if you return to India and be exempted from being sentenced to death by a military court as a noble, it is equivalent to the end of your military career, which is absolutely unacceptable.
The commander of the Indian Central Route Army received a request from two division commanders to give him the power to surrender to the enemy under appropriate circumstances, and emphasized that it was to avoid causing greater casualties in soldiers.
Such timid and fearful words made the Lieutenant General furious and cursed, saying that the two commanders of the 37th Division and the 44th Division were all incompetent cowards, and they actually wanted to escape the duties that soldiers should perform by surrender. This was really a shame for the Indian Army.
In the view of the supreme commander of the Central Army, the duty of a soldier is to bring glory to the country. If it cannot be achieved, it should be a last destination for death on the battlefield.
The commander of the Indian Central Army is a traditional old soldier with a hard-working style. He believes that every soldier should have the awareness of dying in battle when choosing this profession. However, the request of the two Indian major generals under him is no different from the commander of the Central Army who attaches great importance to the honor of military personnel.
So he immediately issued a telegram, severely reprimanding the two commanders of the 37th Division and the 44th Division of the Indian Army. In his capacity as the highest commander of the Central Army, he ordered the two infantry divisions to fight to the last one, stand on the spot, and wait for the rescue of the armored troops.
Any act of escape at the last battle is considered a deserter and must be sent to a military court.
As for the request of the two Indian major generals, the commander of the Central Army severely refuted it. He claimed in a high-profile manner that if these two people really choose to surrender to the Pakistani army and fail to obtain corresponding approval, it would be directly equivalent to stolen the country. After returning to China, they will be tried by the military court in the future.
The two Indian major generals who were trapped in the encirclement looked bitter after receiving the order that the commander-in-chief did not allow surrender. You should know that there is only less than an hour left to consider the time limit before the ultimatum given by Pakistan.
After some struggle, the commanders of the two infantry divisions reached an agreement on their opinions, and decided on the phone to violate the orders of the superior commander, take the initiative to surrender to the Pakistani army in front, and completely stop unnecessary military resistance.
In addition to considering their own safety, they also serve the precious lives of nearly 40,000 soldiers under their jurisdiction. This is the capital to maintain the interests of the family. Even if they are removed from their posts after returning to China, at least these troops can still be in the hands of the family behind them.
In this way, even if you have to go to the military court to accept the ruling in the future, you will not care about it. The nobles attach more importance to family interests than personal interests. When necessary, even their own reputation will be sacrificed.
Another important reason that prompted the two Indian major generals to make such a decision was that the commanders of the two infantry divisions were very dissatisfied with their stubborn superiors.
The style of making tactics that regardless of the life or death of his subordinates made his subordinates feel heartbroken. The key is that such sacrifices cannot bring about a little bit of victory. So both of them endured enough and decided to surrender.
The situation faced by the two Indian major generals and even the entire army is in trouble, all of which are caused by the tactical command errors of superiors.
If we were not determined to march quickly to Leh, how could it lead to division of troops? This completely ignored the difference in the marching speed of the infantry troops, which left the three infantry divisions behind and eventually fell into the enemy's encirclement, giving the Pakistani army the opportunity to divide and slaughter the Indian army.
If the superior had not taken it as if he had not taken the initiative to think that the enemy would not have invested too much in the back row after receiving the telegram requested support from the rear, so that he strictly ordered his subordinates who were trapped in the encirclement to form formations on the spot to defend themselves without regard to the serious casualties of the infantry troops, how could such a dilemma occur?
As a lieutenant general in India, the supreme commander of the Central Army, he had no corresponding strategic and tactical command capabilities at all, and had been issuing unrealistic orders, which seriously delayed the Central Army's fighter opportunity. It eventually led to the current situation, which left two complete infantry divisions surrounded by the enemy.
Even a whole ground division-level unit has been completely wiped out by the enemy.
But at this point, the commander of the Central Army issued such an inhuman order that the remaining Indian soldiers would not be allowed to surrender to the enemy. Do you want more innocent soldiers to die for such an incompetent and crazy superior?
In the end, the two Indian army commanders who were given the redest ultimatum sent a telegram to Pakistan with the word surrender. At the same time, they also began to issue orders to the troops to stop resisting, allowing the remaining soldiers to put down their weapons, walk out of their positions, and raise their hands to surrender to the Pakistani army.
On the morning of the next day, the surrender ceremony was officially held in front of the position. The venue of the ceremony was very simple. However, the atmosphere was very heavy. For the sake of the confidentiality of identity, a Pakistani officer came to surrender.
The Pakistanis accepted the gun handed over by the Indian commander, which represented the meaning of disarming and surrendering in the battle between the two armies. After the ceremony, the two Indian major generals had to painfully accept the fact that India's defeat on the middle battlefield was no longer redeemable.
Now, the rear route of the Indian armored troops has been cut off. It is obvious that the Pakistani army has invested a lot of military force on this battlefield, which is completely inconsistent with the General Staff’s judgment that the so-called “the main force of the Pakistani army is on the Eastern Front”. So much so that the Indian armored troops on the front line, which have not yet surrendered, have now become an isolated army that has penetrated deep into the enemy’s borders and is surrounded by enemies.
After a day and night of war, the three new divisions under the Volunteer Army conducted breakthroughs and divisions on the Indian army in three directions, successfully surrounding the three infantry divisions and all artillery units of the Indian army on the middle battlefield, and even wiped out several reorganized enemy troops.
Among them, the annihilated enemies included three reorganized infantry divisions and two top artillery brigades, killing more than 7,000 enemies and capturing nearly 40,000 people, including three Indian major generals, and nearly 100 middle and senior commanders. The results were fruitful.
This time, the Siba Battle successfully annihilated half of all the ground forces invested by India in the entire central battlefield, and successfully cut off the radio contact between the remaining Indian central army and the rear Indian-controlled Kashmir region.
The Volunteer Army locked a front army of the Indian army firmly in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir area, making the enemy a truly lonely army, isolated and helpless.
This battle will become the most important turning point on the battlefield of Siba, and it can even be said to have reversed the strategic situation that is not conducive to Pakistan in one fell swoop, making the initiative in the war again in the hands of the China-Pakistan coalition forces.
The reason why such great results were not only related to the new equipment equipped to the front-line troops, but also included the soldiers' own excellent combat qualities and the correct tactical decisions of the commanders.
Although the commander of the Volunteer Army still had a small regret, that is, the Volunteer Army specially arranged for the Indian army on the central battlefield only one-third of the tactics, and as a result, it achieved a decisive victory. Many new tactics are not urgently implemented or tested.
China has once again truly witnessed the tactical strategic command and coordination capabilities of the so-called senior generals in India. Since the overall strategic situation in the central region has been determined, it is necessary to devote more energy and combat power to the eastern battlefield.
The Volunteer Army's top leaders no longer pay attention to the Indian armored forces that have completely become turtles in the jar. Annihilation of these people is only a matter of time.
As for the eastern battlefield, which is in a stalemate, the volunteers have also formulated new combat plans.
For the Indian Army's armored troops whose rear route was cut off, the next two days were the most difficult days in their lives, and for the armored troops who were eager to break through the "Pakistan Army" blocking positions, the problem was not easy to solve.
No matter how hard they fought, they had no results. They were even forced to launch armored charges for the entire regiment or even the entire division towards the enemy, but they still could not cross the enemy's positions.
Two ** armored brigades, plus two reorganized mechanized infantry divisions, were unable to break through the ground defense of only one light infantry division in "Pakistan".
Not only that, on the way to charge, their tanks and armored vehicles were also suffering heavy losses, which was really unbearable. The Indians did not understand when the "Pakistan" army was so powerful?
Whether it is the tactical intelligence collected from the early stages or the experience gained from previous battles, the combat quality of the Pakistani army is not very good for the Indian army, mainly because the equipment is much worse than that of India.
The highest commander of the Central Route Army was about 55 years old. He was a second-generation senior army general of the Indian Army. He was a nobleman and was also a senior general who had been trained by the Indian Army since the Indian Army. They all participated in study and training at the Royal Army Academy in the UK.
The understanding of Pakistan is mainly based on the previous two India-Pakistan wars. At that time, the commander of the Central Army was also in an armored unit and served as the regiment commander.
Therefore, he has a deep understanding of the poor tactical qualities of the Pakistani army, which has also led to his continued contempt for the actual combat capabilities of the Pakistani army in this combat plan.
It is precisely for these reasons that the commander of the Central Army was not prepared for the tactic of detour encirclement. He never even thought that the Pakistani people would dare to attack the Indian army's large forces.
You know, the Indian army used to be beaten up by the Pakistani army. When will it be the Pakistani army turn to take the initiative?
For this view, it is not the idea of some people in the Indian military community, but includes all senior Indian military and government personnel. Few people would think that China will intervene in the Kashmir region.
Only Sam Markneshaw realized this problem, but he had a poor relationship with other senior government officials and his remarks were not much support.
What's more, even Sam himself, he thought that the Chinese Federation would at most provide some secret material assistance to Pakistan. India's political logic is very simple. The Chinese and Americans are at odds in the Middle East, so they must not take into account the affairs of South Asia now.
Moreover, from the actions of the Chinese Federation since its founding, it can be seen that the Chinese government that emerged was not an aggressive and powerful country, but a nation-state that paid more attention to internal development and the federal system.
But even so, the Indians never thought that China was not threatening them. The ancient nation-state, which had been colonial for 400 years under British rule, has not yet taken away the humiliation of the "Commonwealth Member State".
Like many South Asian countries, the Indians who suffered too many colonial humiliations really wanted to cleanse such humiliating history. Therefore, India is stronger than any other country in its desire to become a world power.
Unfortunately, India does not understand what aspect a true power should be reflected in. They just one-sidedly believe that like the "Empire of Sun Never Setting" that enslaved itself hundreds of years ago, it will dominate other countries and peoples. Being arrogant and prosperous on other countries is a sign of becoming a powerful country and a privilege.
Therefore, in less than ten years, India first started a war against its former brothers, namely Pakistan, and wanted to wash away the shame they had suffered by ravaging their South Asian brothers.
Unfortunately, they had not succeeded yet, so they pointed their finger at the approaching China, and even wanted to defeat this nation as ancient as themselves to replace China and become a world power.
From the day the Mughal dynasty was destroyed by the British, Asan had a dream of becoming a powerful country, dreaming of getting rid of the status of enslaved people and turning to enslave others.
Since ancient times, India has been a society that enslaved people, and the caste system still retains great influence.
This caste system in India is the darkest hierarchy in the world. The strict class division hinders the development and progress of society. This is why in history, India's ruling class was established to enslave the lower class in order to rule the lower class one by one.
Until India regained national sovereignty from the British and declared that the caste system was still not abolished. As the least human rights country in the world, India is an oppressive society that implements the caste system!
The first two Indian-Pakistan wars, the easy victory made India feel arrogant, and they began to claim to be the overlords of South Asia.
What’s ridiculous is that there are only a few countries in South Asia?
Becoming the political and military "hegemony" in South Asia made India extremely happy and arrogant. Just like Nehru back then, he arrogantly claimed to support the four major powers of the United States, Soviet Union, Britain and France, but he was defeated by the Chinese Federation without any mercy and tough counterattack.
The Indians who suffered heavy failures did not learn much from it. They had been settled for decades and began to dream again. Unfortunately, the Indians could not have been able to dream for long. China's strength was not something they could shake. The Chinese Federation never adopted a simple passive defense against threats from outside.
Regarding the constant provocations, in order for the darkest history of China, the Chinese Federal Ministry of Defense decided to take the initiative.
And this is not enough. For real security, threats should be prevented in advance. In the case of weak national strength, it is understandable to implement a defensive strategy, but if the national strength is strong and faces challenges in all aspects, the defensive strategy may cause great passiveness or even damage.
Therefore, you should change defense into offense, and then suppress your opponent and greatly expand your safe space.
The strategic policies formulated by the senior leaders of the Chinese Federation are all about changing passive defense to active offense and erasing all threats in the cradle. (To be continued...)
