The first thousand one hundred and fifty chapters
Compared with the continued smooth operation of the East Pakistan battlefield, the three Siba fronts all encountered huge setbacks and returned in disgrace in front of the Pakistani defensive positions.
Especially the Central Army, which was alone and deeply in the deep, they had to face now, was a wall of iron and iron walls composed of two defense lines between the north and the south. This place was a thunder pool that the Indian army could not overcome.
In order to capture these two Pakistani defense lines, the vanguard troops of the central army have gathered almost all the main station tanks and armored combat vehicles, but the troops at hand are still not enough.
With two armored divisions and two mechanized infantry divisions, it is not realistic for the Indian army to rely on this level of force to capture the Pakistani army's positions, and even there is a shortage of force distribution.
For the Indian Central Army, there is really a feeling of "wolf in front and tiger behind". Not to mention how the commander of the Indian Central Army will face such a dilemma, the surrender of the two infantry divisions alone is enough to make people feel overwhelmed.
The volunteer army aided Pakistan also began their new combat plan.
The current middle and east roads of the Xiba battlefield are undoubtedly the overall situation, and the current remaining troops of the Central Army have become turtles in the jar, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.
The commander of the Volunteer Army proposed a new combat plan to the Supreme Command of the Pakistani Army in response to the current stalemate between the Indian and Pakistani armies on the Eastern Front of Kashmir.
This combat plan is very bold. It is to break the deadlock and quickly annihilate the Indian army on the eastern battlefield. Then, the three light fast reactors of the Volunteer Army were the main combat power. The troops rushed south and regained the Bernighal Pass, which had only the lonely army.
In this way, the hinterland of the Indian-controlled Kashmir region will be exposed to the eyes, which is equivalent to a blank area without any defense.
As long as Berniehal is occupied, the logistics supply line of the Indian Army's Eastern Front can be cut off, and the current ceasefire line of India and Pakistan will be greatly promoted to the Indian-controlled area, and the goal will be to Pilben Jair Ridge.
As for this radical combat plan deployment, several senior officials from Pakistan's Supreme Military Command were first shocked, then thought, and finally until their eyes showed a fanatical light.
It has been trampled by India for a long time and can now obtain military support from the Chinese Federation. Launching an attack on the enemy's territory will be an opportunity for Pakistan to exclaim!
Once the actual controlled area of Pakistan can be pushed to the Pilbenjar Ridge, this will inevitably greatly improve the unfavorable strategic situation for Pakistan in the Kashmir region, and even completely control the entire Kashmir Valley.
There is one of the two most populous and fertile valleys in Kashmir!
Once even this place falls into Pakistan's hands, it is equivalent to Pakistan's complete control of the entire Kashmir, which is something Pakistan has always dreamed of since its founding.
Now that the Chinese Federation has made a promise, how can Pakistan disagree?
As for whether this combat plan can be successful, the Supreme Command of the Pakistani Army is not worried. The Chinese Federal Army's army had an invincible spirit during the World War. Moreover, it has now achieved extremely brilliant victories on the two main battlefields of Siba, which naturally made the Supreme Command of the Pakistani Army regard the Chinese Federal Army as its last expectation.
Not to mention, at this time when India's main forces were all concentrated in the eastern region, the enemy's defense became obviously empty, which was indeed a good opportunity.
But this plan is not risk-free, because the Pakistani army has never tried such a deep combat operation, and they are worried that logistics will not keep up and that they will fall into crisis due to unfamiliarity with the terrain.
Although there are so many problems, the entire plan is indeed very sure to succeed. As long as the Kashmir Valley can be controlled, the retreat of the Indian Eastern Route Army, which is still trapped in Pakistan, will be basically cut off.
This will make India's Eastern Route Army, like the Central Route Army, an isolated army without foreign aid and logistics, breaking the deadlock in the entire Siba battlefield and pouring the situation into a direction that is beneficial to Pakistan.
The most important thing is that Pakistan has no way to retreat, East Pakistan has been captured by the Indians, and Bangladesh has also been established.
Although the Chinese Federation has not yet recognized it internationally, it cannot change the fact that it has been divided. If the Kashmir region cannot be captured, the gap between Pakistan and India's national strength will only grow bigger and bigger, and eventually become a completely third-rate small country.
Therefore, without many choices, the Pakistani Command finally agreed to the proposal for this action due to the huge benefits that this combat plan could bring.
However, the Pakistani command was still somewhat confident that the Volunteer Army had only invested three light fast reactors. In order to realize their desire to control the Kashmir Valley, they decided to invest in larger ground forces.
This is not a doubt that the Chinese Federal Army lacks combat effectiveness, but that there are other issues that need to be considered.
In order to control these newly occupied areas, it means that the troops need to be stationed after each city is occupied. No army stationed in the city to declare Pakistan's dominance, and it is impossible to control a region.
Therefore, in the end, the Pakistani army suggested to the Chinese Federation that the volunteers would put the other three Hualian Army infantry divisions stationed on the Pamir Plateau into the Kashmir battlefield, and it would be better to take over the defense mission of the Pakistani armored forces so that the Pakistani army could engage in this military operation to attack India.
Once the Pakistani armored troops make an effort, they can go south at night and rush to the middle battlefield to assist the soldiers of the Pakistani volunteer army to annihilate the remaining Indian troops, and follow the volunteer army to attack northern India.
With the Volunteer Army as the vanguard of the army, the Pakistani armored forces were able to stay in the rear, assisting the Volunteer Army in clearing the remaining enemies of the Indian army and controlling the major cities in this area.
As for why it was proposed to go south with the Pakistani mechanized armored forces, this was mainly to take over the Indian-controlled Kashmir Valley within the first time.
It is best not to let the Chinese team appear on the stage. After all, on the international stage, this reserve must be pretended to be the following. It is also to implement the policy proposed by the Chinese federal government before the war and to try to keep China secretly participating in the war.
Because it is a new type of force and its combat methods are different from before, there is no chance of Chinese soldiers being exposed on the battlefield. But once they enter the city, soldiers are needed to maintain local order.
This is equivalent to letting China's secret of participating in the war be revealed in advance, and even triggering US intervention. If the US military also sends troops to land in India and assists the Indian army in fighting, it is likely to trigger a full-scale war between the two superpowers.
This kind of thing is avoided by both Americans and Chinese.
Therefore, it is better for Pakistani soldiers to control these newly occupied cities. The General Staff of the Chinese Federal Army also sent a call back, agreeing to the Pakistani side's suggestion, and immediately issued an order to allow the three new rapid reactors who were still on standby in the Pamir Plateau to immediately drive to Kashmir.
At the same time, they were also asked to take over the local defense of the Pakistani army's mechanized armored troops on the west side of the Dengdong Defense Zone. The Pakistani army's armored troops must immediately withdraw from the defense line after the Chinese Federation agreed to increase troops, and marched rapidly towards the siege of the Indian army's central line troops 100 kilometers south of Leh, and then prepare to participate in this annihilation battle.
In this way, the Indian army's days were undoubtedly even more difficult. Unfortunately, they didn't know that in order to wait for Pakistan's mechanized armored forces, the encirclement and annihilation of the Indian army was delayed by one day.
In order to minimize casualties in their own troops, the top leaders of the Volunteer Army decided that this encirclement and annihilation battle would be led by Pakistan's armored troops, and the Volunteer Army troops would provide firepower support in the rear and perform tasks such as external obstruction of possible escape from the enemy.
So, let Pakistan's mechanized armored troops come to the former shame that has been humiliated by the Indian army in the past.
A day later, Pakistan's mechanized armored troops finally arrived at the war zone and successfully completed all the preparations for the attack that day.
On that night, the Pakistani army immediately launched a general siege and annihilation battle against the Indian Central Army overnight. The result was already destined, and the Pakistani army had the advantage in both forces and weapons.
The Chinese Federation and Pakistan have invested a total of three mechanized infantry divisions, two armored divisions, as well as another five ** armored brigades.
As for weapons, the Chinese Federation has advanced infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery, such as armored war beasts, and also has the help of heavy armed helicopters. This is incomparable to the Indian army.
Even if Pakistan's own main battle tanks, which are not very advanced, are more than enough to deal with Indian infantry divisions. After such a calculation, it is found that the Pakistani army has obviously had an absolute advantage, so the Indian army's crushing defeat is natural.
What is more worth mentioning is that as the commander of the Indian army with a strong sense of honor, he was unwilling to accept the surrender ultimatum proposed by the Pakistani army, so he would continue to fight to the death.
The result was that the two armored brigades he directly commanded were completely wiped out, and the commanders of the two mechanized infantry divisions saw that the situation was not good, so they chose to surrender to Pakistan in violation of the orders of their superiors to avoid the fate of being completely wiped out.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless and had to face the Pakistani tank troops that were pouring towards him like a tide, the commander of the Indian Central Army chose to commit suicide by drinking a bullet in despair.
As a soldier, his strict implementation of the military spirit that he has always adhered to is the military style that should be the ultimate destination for death on the battlefield.
Analyzing his character from this point of view alone is still a true iron-blooded soldier. But he is not a qualified commander, and his unclear combat command style has harmed many soldiers under his command.
Although this spirit of looking at death is undoubtedly something that every soldier should have, as a commander, victory represents everything!
This time, India invested more than 5 infantry divisions in the Western Road battlefield, including two additional armored brigades and two ** artillery brigades. However, such a large-scale ground force was all annihilated within half a month.
India lost almost 100,000 soldiers and a large number of weapons and equipment on the entire Siba battlefield.
Even though these troops are all mainly infantry, and the pensions of Indian soldiers are very low, the total losses are not unbearable. For India's main armored troops, the losses caused by the Pakistani army this battle are not very large.
The casualties of all 100,000 soldiers are far from the point where India has invested a total of 650,000 troops in Kashmir.
However, such failure has caused India's strategic situation in Kashmir to fall into a very unfavorable position. Although the victory or defeat of the Eastern Battle on the Siba battlefield has not yet been decided, the troops arrangements of both sides can be seen from the map of Kashmir, and it will be discovered that due to the inconsistency of the Eastern battlefield, most of the defensive forces and strategic reserves deployed by the Indian army in the Kashmir Valley were transferred to the eastern line.
This means that the core hinterland in the current Indian-controlled Kashmir region has been fully open for the Pakistani army, with wide terrain characteristics. It will become the battlefield where the enemy's large-scale armored forces gallop.
You know, this is the top priority of the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, the core of the strategy, and it cannot be missed!
It is also the only channel for the Indian Eastern Route Army to connect with India. If this road is completely exposed to the Pakistani armored forces, it is equivalent to completely opening up its weaknesses to the other party.
Faced with such a severe situation, the only correct choice is to immediately shrink all the remaining troops on the Siba battlefield and then invest in the narrow terrain in the east.
There, the troops that can truly unfold on the front of the battlefield will definitely not exceed the scale of a reorganized infantry division. In that place, a huge force of nearly 400,000 troops will be gathered, which will undoubtedly cause a large amount of combat power to waste.
Many soldiers were unable to fight against the enemy at all. Did they let most of them stay behind and wave flags and shout for the front line?
Not only are there really few soldiers and weapons, but at most they can continuously supplement the losses on the front line. However, this combat method that maintains continuous impact on Pakistan's defensive positions is equivalent to consuming combat with the enemy.
The result will only be that a large number of Indian troops were restrained by a few people from the Pakistani army, making the remaining defense line a fat in the eyes of the Pakistani army.
Therefore, the Indian Army Command intends to let the troops attacking Siba return to the entire army to rescue the Kashmir Valley to defend against the possible attacks that Pakistan has launched.
However, once India's military strength advantage on the battlefield of West Pakistan, the Indians believed that the superior military strength would play a decisive role in breaking through the defense of the Pakistani army.
Therefore, after learning about the battle situation on the Siba battlefield, the Indian Army General Staff also understood that the Eastern Route Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, successfully broke through the Pakistani army's defense line in the east.
Under the current situation, the decision to shrink troops will only affect the failure of the Eastern Army to continue to impact the Pakistani military defense launch line.
In this way, it would be like giving the Pakistani army a chance to breathe. And once again gathered forces to counterattack the two tactical high grounds in Dengdong. If this happens, the major casualties suffered by the Indian Army's Eastern Route Army some time ago will be completely meaningless.
From commanders to tens of thousands of Indian soldiers, even the Indian General Staff, they all don’t want to see such a situation happen.
Therefore, the final solution was also released. The commander-in-chief of the Indian Eastern Route Army personally spoke to the general who was in charge of the base camp, believing that the failure of the Western Route Army was due to the commander's personal incompetence.
Now, the important task of unifying the entire Kashmir has completely fallen to the Eastern Army, so the Eastern Front battlefield is at the most critical moment, and no matter what, we should not disperse our troops.
Regarding this issue, the Indian Army General Staff itself also started a fierce quarrel. Even a general who was good at mingling with others still adopted the old method when facing opinions that both sides could not be unified.
On the one hand, the Indian Army General Staff ordered the Eastern Army to step up its attack on the Pakistani defense line, requiring them to conquer the Dingdong Defense Zone within a week, and to enter the Indus Valley first, and then launch a head-on decisive battle with the Pakistani army's mechanized armored forces.
As for another opinion that the Eastern Army would divide its troops back, the General Staff ordered the Indian guards in the Bernhard area to prevent them from defending their positions and be vigilant at all times against the attack from Pakistan.
As for the four infantry divisions left in the Kashmir Valley and the other five armored brigades, they must line up on the south side of Bernighal to build a complete defensive front, requiring them to be prepared at any time to intercept all Pakistani troops that may come through the mountain pass.
The Indian senior commanders had similar ideas. They believed that Pakistan has always adopted a defensive position in Kashmir due to its insufficient national strength, and never dared to launch an active attack on India or was unable to launch an attack.
Even though there are inexplicable results in the battle field on the West Bahru battlefield, in the minds of the Indian army's strategic senior management, this pure failure is only the improper command of the generals, which gives the Pakistani army an opportunity to take advantage of, not the Pakistani army's combat effectiveness has been improved.
Despite the heavy losses on the Western Front, the Indian army still maintained a huge advantage in military strength when facing the Pakistani army. It is also suspected that the Pakistani army would withdraw more troops from the Eastern Front and then encircle the Indian Eastern Route Army's rear route from the Bernighal road.
As the main general of the base camp, he absolutely does not believe that Pakistan has such superb strategy, nor does it have the military force to achieve such strategy.
All India-Pakistan wars ended with India's victory, which made India always act as a victor when facing Pakistan, so it looked down on everything and looked down on the Pakistani army. (To be continued...)
