Chapter 303 The Rainy Season Is Ending

Chapter 303 The Rainy Season Is Ending
Lin Huaisheng has been studying the enemy's movements, waiting for the best opportunity. Right now, the 33rd Indian Armored Division is rushing towards Quetta, keeping a distance from the 31st White Tiger Division on the left and the 1st Armored Division on the right. , is a good time.He looked at the time, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was shining, and it seemed that the time was almost up.Sure enough, Zhou Yaohua called on the radio again to urge him to act. Lin Huaisheng knew that the major general had just gathered some Type 96 tanks, but these tanks did not have much advantage against the T90, and Wang Zhenbei's troops were too small to defend The front is too wide; the Mokran area where Yu Zhendong is located is farther away. In fact, he must also take on the important task of defending Shemuxi Base from the southeast and two directions.The reconnaissance unit carried by the submarine of the Indian Navy has appeared on the coastline several times with measuring equipment.After the amphibious dock transport ship Galashiwa was sunk, the Indian Navy has been silent for a while, but recently it has begun to move around again. The Indian Navy has a brigade-sized Marine Corps, which is capable of landing on the coastline and breaking through 2 To 30 kilometers, can not be underestimated.In any case, now is the time to act on your own and solve the crisis in one fell swoop.Lin Huaisheng took the communicator calmly and said:

"Get me the commander."

After a while, "I'm the commander-in-chief. When are you going? Otherwise, don't go. I still lack heavy firepower. I'll get the 1 vehicles of the Pakistan 8st Armored Division." On the other side of the radio station, Zhou Yaohua seemed a little Regretted, he was a little underwhelmed when he first arrived, but he has heard some news recently, and knows that the combat effectiveness of this dissatisfied company is good.

"Comrade commander, our department will start in 10 minutes. At most 24 hours, I will let the enemy's entire offensive collapse."

"What did you say?" the major general asked eagerly. Few staff officers dared to speak big words in front of him, which made him very uncomfortable for a while, but he still had some expectations for Lin's words.

"I said, before 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the enemy's frontal attack will stop. Then they will spend a few days to slowly restore the entire supply line. The supply line of the 31st, 33rd Armored Division, and the 6th Armored Division will be cut off."

Zhou Yaohua couldn't believe Lin Huaisheng's crazy words. Of course, what he needs most now is time.Zhou Yaohua always believed that Lin Huaisheng's delay of 10 hours at night caused great difficulties for him to open up the situation. Now Lin Huaisheng boasted that he would give him a few days back, which made him a little skeptical.He doesn't expect Lin's plan to be [-]% realized, then something will happen.He predicted that in most cases, the sneak attack will be revealed midway, or the Pakistan Army’s oil depot hidden deep in the mountains cannot be found, or the enemy will see through the equipment that does not belong to the Indian Army at all, and then the sneak attack will turn into a defensive battle in the mountains. Of course, Lin Huaisheng's troops had enough firepower, and if they fought like that, they could effectively hold back the enemy's troops in one direction. That's what he expected most from Lin Huaisheng.

"Chief of Staff Lin, if I were you, I wouldn't talk too much. My staff is making plans, and exaggerated predictions will have a negative impact on decision-making." He said, glanced at the map. Lin Huaisheng's breakthrough in the next 10 hours will be 15 kilometers deep.He has been a soldier for so many years, and he has never heard of a battalion-level unit that can sneak into the enemy's rear. He knows that Lin Huaisheng is a staff officer who was born as a scout. Obviously, his career as a scout determines his limitations. His plans behind enemy lines are always particularly fascinating, just as bold as his plan for southern Tibet, but in the eyes of the major general, these plans are too dependent on the enemy's carelessness.

"Comrade commander, surprise attack is the most essential part of war. I have the confidence to sneak under the enemy's nose." Lin Huaisheng replied confidently. , seems to immediately come alive.

"Then I will wish you success first. I will be very satisfied if I can hold back the actions of a division of the enemy."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lin Huaisheng turned off the intercom, turned his head and asked a sergeant: "Let the army aviation unit act according to the predetermined plan."

Five minutes later, the sound of helicopter rotors suddenly sounded in the sky, and two light armed helicopters flew eastward together. These WZ-5 helicopters flew from China through several transitions. The sneak attack troops take on the tasks of reconnaissance and cover.Heavier armed helicopters are being transported through the Il-2, and it is estimated that they will be included in Zhou Yaohua's sequence soon. The major general is eagerly counting on the helicopter to resist the enemy's tanks.

Indian Defense Ministry in New Delhi.

Singh sat in front of the TV and watched Prime Minister Kahan's long speech. The live broadcast has been going on for 2 hours, and the prime minister is still talking about China's treachery and his never doubting that victory is coming.It was hard to imagine that not long ago, the old man just fainted once, and the doctor judged that if he was severely stimulated again, it might cause more serious problems.However, in order to debunk the foreign media's rumors that he had suffered a stroke, was paralyzed or was unconscious, he insisted on mobilizing for a long period of time with his voice exhausted, standing upright during the whole process.

"I'm really worried that the prime minister will faint. If that happens, it will be too bad," chief of staff Lujad Nahan said next to Singh.

"You still don't understand the Prime Minister," Singer said slowly. "Only when he is giving a speech is the most relaxed time for him, so don't worry about it. I'm worried that when he calms down, he will inevitably think about those unfavorable things again." News. By the way, is Charmain here?"

"It's been a while, waiting."

"Why didn't you tell me? Call him in quickly." Singer said displeased, obviously he felt that communicating with Charmain was far more important than sitting and watching the prime minister's speech.

Charmain had a gloomy face, and when he walked into the office slowly, the Prime Minister's speech on TV was talking about his expectation of moral and action support from the West.He knew the speech was coming to an end, because all the western countries decided to sit back and watch the tiger fight without much action.After the prime minister fainted, he was forced to give up the honor of reporting directly to the prime minister. After all, there is too much bad news now.The doctor said that even a piece of bad news has a certain risk that the old man will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.Singh is also someone he has always wanted to curry favor with, but compared with the Prime Minister, Singh is not easy to fool.

"Let me tell you, Director, let's get straight to the point. What's the news today?"

"It has been identified that China has 45 air force combat aircraft deployed in southern Pakistan, consisting of 14 fighter-bombers and about 24 fighter jets, as well as 2 early warning aircraft and several electronic warfare aircraft. They also have an early warning aircraft deployed in Peshawar .”

"That's all?" Singer responded casually. The two or three airports where the Chinese Air Force is stationed have been under satellite surveillance, and its scale is not difficult to judge.

"We have also figured out their command system. The Pakistan Air Force in the south is now also under the command of the Chinese Air Force. There are about 40 aircraft, but they are all second-generation aircraft."

"What about the air force north of Leh?"

"New designation, new model, and satellite-guided weapons similar to the US military's joint guided munitions have been put into use; but in the south, these bombs have not been found to be used."

Singh shook his head. China's satellite-guided bombs were the part he didn't want to hear, because India's arsenal did not have weapons corresponding to such low-cost precision-guided bombs, so he changed the subject.

"What about the ground troops?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. There are many numbers monitored, which are very complicated. It is conservatively estimated that Pakistan still has about 5 remnants of troops in the south, most of which have lost their heavy weapons, organization and communication. Thousands of people, well equipped and well organized."

"What about their defense plan? I wonder how they prepared to form a line with so few troops."

"The new front-line commander is called Zhou Yaohua. I only found out that ten years ago, he studied air-ground coordinated operations and contract operations of a single service at the National Defense University. His thesis was quite radical, and he firmly believed that active offense is better than defense."

"So he's likely to adopt an offensive-defensive strategy?"

"I think this is obvious. Otherwise their strength is really not enough, and blocking our army in the mountains is the only way. Does General Spanga have anything to do?"

"He believes that multi-line attack is the best way to disintegrate the enemy's key defense, but our army's supply line is getting weaker and weaker, unable to support too many lines of attack. He suggested increasing the width of each division's attack, hoping to find the enemy's weakest point part."

"In that case, the war will be dragged into October?" Charmain suddenly gasped.He recalled the last secret cabinet meeting before the war, a high-level meeting in which he was a special agent.It was his speech on the war window that changed the course of the meeting.His analysis at that time believed that China's offensive in the direction of Assam was subject to the weather and could only happen in autumn.His arguments actually supported the prime minister's and Singh's attempt to launch an offensive in the spring, and also made the then army chief of staff leave later.Now it seems that his judgment is generally correct. The actual control line in the empty Arunachal area appears to be relatively calm, but once the rainy season is over, what will happen to the situation?Will the mysterious plan called 4157B be implemented?His sources have been providing verifiable and credible information, but there has been no mention of this plan.

"Director, you only saw the aggressive offensive of the Chinese, but you didn't see the difficulties they faced." Singer said to himself, he didn't notice the mind of the intelligence chief. "The Chinese are fighting on two battlefields that cannot support each other. This is a big taboo. If you have studied the history of war, you should know that there are very few successful battles in this situation."

Charmain wanted to say that India was struggling on two fronts, but in the end he held back. He didn't know if China had any other plans in other directions.Why are they doing this, despite some new intelligence that Chinese drones have been surveying the geography and weather of the upper Brahmaputra and training helicopter units on a river similar to the Brahmaputra on the border with Myanmar?He didn't want his clueless and chaotic information to interfere with the decision-making of the Ministry of Defense, lest any responsibility fall on him in the future, but he reminded himself that the investigation must be stepped up.

"I suddenly remembered that there were still some things to do, so I left first."

"If your insider has any information, you must tell me immediately, and if necessary, I will forward it to the prime minister."

Charmain nodded, turned and went out.On a whim, he wanted to go to the frontiers of Arunachal Pradesh to see the damage to the roads caused by this year's rainy season; According to road construction requirements, half of the divisions are now in a daze in Kashmir, and the road damage this year must be very serious.
