Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 84 The Irreversible Track of War

"I can't resign immediately, because there is no designated successor for the staff department." Pasade said, his voice was not high, and he was completely different from the aggressive one before, as if he seemed to be shrinking back.

"You don't have to worry about this. We have many excellent officers who are qualified for this position." Singer didn't mean to take back the previous appointment and dismissal at all.Pasad is the general he hates the most, and he is also the smelliest and hardest stumbling block. Today, he finally got rid of him. Although the Prime Minister is not easy to explain (Prime Minister Kahan does not want to replace senior generals during wartime due to political considerations), But in the long run, Singer believes his judgment is absolutely correct.

"You mean Lieutenant General Spanga?" Pasade said, looking at Lieutenant General Spanga with disdain. "He doesn't even have the qualifications of a first-level commander in the military region. How can a group army commander..."

"You don't need to worry about this, Your Excellency General. New military reforms require new blood. Our army has too many outdated concepts. Now is not the era of the colonial army. These old concepts must be broken, and seniority and origin should not be valued too much." Xin Ge said, this is what he said in his heart, he hates these senior generals talking about their qualifications the most, and he also knows that he is just an ambitious lieutenant colonel in their discussions behind their backs.

"Since we're talking about background, I don't think a person born in an area that advocates blood revenge is not suitable as the supreme commander. Lieutenant General Spanga has just experienced the pain of losing his son, so I'm afraid he can't be sober..."

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I will not be the Chief of Staff of the Army. What I want to do is to be the commander of a forward assault group." Spanga interrupted suddenly, and Pasade and Singh were taken aback.Because his words exceeded everyone's expectations.This made Pasade fall into further passiveness, and Spanga's statement made his previous words appear to be a bit of a villain
Pasade was silent for a while and continued to retort, "In any case, their traffic is still smooth. From a military point of view, your genius plan has been completely exposed to the enemy, and there is no surprise at all. Now every meeting The commanders of the Pakistan Army who read the map know your overall campaign plan, and the enemy will definitely take precautions."

"Maybe it's not a bad thing." Spanga said coldly. He didn't seem to be irritated by the things that Pasade hinted before. If their purpose was as the former chief of staff said, when formulating the battle plan, the idea of ​​avenging the loss of their son was mixed in, then there is no doubt that they would have doubts about their own plan.

"Longer delay will allow them to mobilize more forces to the vicinity of Fort ***. I just got the news that they are gathering the 12th Army near Quetta Mesdong. As you all know, this is Pakistan's strategic reserve force .It all started irreversibly."

"They're really putting together the last of the regular units and they're even integrating other paramilitary and reserve units in Quetta and Spezander, but you don't know yet where those divisions are going to come from. Maybe to places you don't want The regions where they qualify," Pasade said.

"There will be a conclusion in a few days. Anyway, from the perspective of confrontation, every Indian army commander who can read the map should understand that the enemy has almost played all the cards on the table. For us, their chaos has already It was completely exposed." Spanga responded with restraint, on the surface he strictly guarded the relationship between the superior and the subordinate of the military rank, and appeared neither humble nor overbearing, but he mentioned the Indian officer who could read the map, which seemed to mean tit-for-tat with the former chief of staff.

Singh didn't know the news that Pakistan had assembled the final strategic reserve team. It should be said that it was great news. He went straight to the map and found Quetta without much effort.This was originally the headquarters of the 41st Infantry Division, and several other divisions and independent brigades were scattered around. From the movement of this force in the next few days, we can see the thinking of the Pakistani Army and see if they have entered trap.

"Maybe we can blow up the Quetta-Karachi railway so they can't move in time," Singh said impatiently, not caring that many senior officers now refer to him behind his back as a "reckless tank regiment commander." ", he is used to dictating in front of senior military officers, after all, everyone here actually has to listen to him (although administratively speaking, it is really inappropriate for the Secretary of Defense to intervene in command.).

"Minister, maybe we should not expose our intentions to each other now, so we can attack the Quetta-Sukkur railway appropriately." Standing behind the minister, Spanga denied the minister's high opinion.

"Pretend to be true? Make them confused? It's too clever, um, let's do it." Singer was not angry, but clapped his hands frivolously. His attitude towards Spanga was completely different from that of the former chief of staff. Some of the elderly officers of the Eastern Military Region here are quite chilling.

"Maybe I have one last question left," Pasade said.

"please say."

"If your Excellency insists on launching such a large-scale attack, how many divisions do you plan to transfer from the Northeast Military Region?" Pasad could have ignored this question, because Singer would definitely break the original agreement to transfer only two divisions , but he was too concerned about the defense of this area, so he couldn't help asking.

"Several mountain divisions in the northeast can be used to contain the main force in the direction of Fortress..." Spanga said.But his words were immediately interrupted by Singer.

"Spangar is right, but I assure you that by the end of September, before the Chinese may take action there, these divisions will return to their original defenses in Assam. You have no doubts about that. And when At that time, our geographical structure will be very different, and maybe the Chinese will completely stop thinking about attacking southern Tibet, because our army already has the complete Kashmir, and our artillery is likely to appear on the red flag Opposite Rapp."

Pasade shook his head, as if he hesitated to speak. The admiral originally wanted to ask about the deployment of the campaign, but Singer's arrogant declaration made him completely stop thinking about it.

The battle meeting lasted for a whole day. The battlefield was quite quiet on this day. It was almost the day when the Indian Air Force dispatched the fewest planes since the start of the war. Rumors within the Pakistani Air Force said that the Indian Air Force was already afraid; According to news, Indian Defense Minister Singh, who was holding a combat meeting, dismissed a very high-ranking general in anger. Although the name of the senior general is not yet known, the intelligence department speculates that it may be Air Force Chief of Staff Biff. Admiral Lata, the reason is the fiasco of the day before.

The news of the above personnel changes has been partially confirmed, because the attack on the Jhelum Dam suddenly stopped. On this day, the Indian Air Force continued to dispatch a limited number of planes to attack the vicinity of the Fort in addition to the northern region. The military airfield in China carried out a mild attack, and there was no major movement in other directions.The dam on the Jhelum River was not even bombed by any bombs, but the amount of water gushing out from the huge cracks in the front of the dam is gradually increasing. Many phenomena indicate that even if the Indian Air Force no longer drops bombs, the once A magnificent dam will also collapse in the flood peak of the rainy season.
