Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

But Wang Qiuyun actually said that five brigades were not enough.

"The commander's message is that we should deploy four armies in Kachin for this battle. We can't just engage in a small-scale operation. We must leverage our strengths and penetrate the enemy's rear with one unit to cut off their retreat. We must completely annihilate any Indian troops that enter northeastern India."

The new chief of staff Zhong Yun gave everyone an explanation.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Wang Qiuyun's appetite was truly enormous. Although there was no definitive intelligence yet, and no one knew how many Indian troops had entered the Northeast, the intelligence that had been confirmed so far indicated that the Indian army had 11 brigades on the other side. It was unknown how many more troops were behind them.

"Commander, isn't that too risky?"

Xu Qixiao, commander of the 16th Army, raised objections.

Although Xu Qixiao knew that Wang Qiuyun was a member of the Military Commission,

He is a famous general with great military achievements in our army. But Xu Qixiao still couldn't help it.

It's not like Xu Qixiao hasn't fought a war of annihilation before, but after all, he doesn't know enough about the Indian army. What if he surrounds the Indian army of tens of thousands of people and can't bite them off?

Wang Qiuyun shook her head and said, "I'm not taking any risks.

This judgment was made after thorough analysis. Everyone has seen the current deployments of the Indian army, whether in Tibet, Xinjiang, or across from us. These are completely designed by generals who lack military common sense. "Let's not even talk about the Indian army's combat effectiveness. It's clear that the Indian frontline commander is a complete idiot. Currently, we have 11 confirmed brigades across from us, with fewer than troops."

"These troops are currently not in any combat readiness.

They marched forward without any coordination, which was an opportunity. We continued to lure the enemy deeper into our territory.

Create a large encirclement around them. As long as our troops are fast, we can quickly cut them off and annihilate them."

Zheng Weishan said at this time: "I agree with the commander's idea. The most important thing in large-scale troop operations is the coordination between the various units. Without coordination, there will be no large-scale troop operations. But judging from the Indian army's military operations during this period, Indian generals have no experience in large-scale troop operations, nor do they have the thinking of large-scale troop operations. There is no response between the various Indian units. As long as we can divide and surround them, no matter how strong their units are, we cannot save the situation of failure." A regiment with strong combat effectiveness, if it is not adapted to large-scale troop operations, or if the military cadres do not understand large-scale troop operations,

Then they will not be able to take advantage of their strong combat effectiveness.

Because large-scale military operations do not test the combat capabilities of one or two grassroots units. Instead, they test the military commander's ability to command large-scale troops and the coordination capabilities of various units.

Zheng Weishan couldn't judge the current combat capabilities of Indian individual soldiers. But it was certain that India's top generals lacked the ability to fight in large groups. Therefore, Zheng Weishan strongly agreed with Wang Qiuyun's idea.

A war involving tens or even hundreds of thousands of people is not a one-on-one duel, but a true large-scale operation. Without this capability, even the most powerful troops will only fail.

"Yes, that is the weakness of the Indian Army. There is no apparent coordination between their troops.

This is a typical manifestation of a lack of experience in large-scale combat." Cheng Shaofu, the Military Commissioner of the 40th Army, also supported the views of Wang Qiuyun and Zheng Weishan.

The Indian Army has shown such obvious loopholes,

It would be a shame not to capture them. Although Cheng Shaofu also thought it was a bit risky to pack in more than a dozen brigades at once, it was definitely worth a try.

"I think we can fight too."

Fan Chaoli, commander of the Kachin Production and Construction Corps, also nodded in support.

Because the Kachin people were about to go to war, the Kachin Production and Construction Corps urgently mobilized 20,000 troops. Their primary mission was to stabilize the situation in Kachin, preventing those with ulterior motives from destabilizing the region and preventing bandits from entering. Of course, they would also be deployed if the situation on the battlefield proved unfavorable.

Wang Qiuyun was very happy to see everyone support the war. Xu Liqing nodded beside her. No one had lost their courage to fight just because they had experienced peace.

"How about the artillery?"

Wang Qiuyun asked Li Yong. Li Yong nodded immediately.

"This time we're mobilizing two heavy artillery divisions and two rocket artillery regiments. Together with the artillery units from the Kunming Military Region, we have sufficient artillery. Give us another five days, and all the artillery units will be in place."

"it is good."

Wang Qiuyun continued: "As long as the Indian army does not have air superiority, we will have an absolute advantage in artillery combat. My idea is to continue to lure the enemy deep into the Myitkyina area.

Use powerful artillery to strike them hard, and then divide and surround them."

"Even if the Indian army on the opposite side is powerful, as long as we have the right tactics, we will definitely have a chance of winning." Cai Debao supported Wang Qiuyun's idea.

Wang Qiuyun looked at Cai Debao and said, "I need a troop to penetrate. One is to flank the Indian army and disrupt it. The other is to cut off the enemy's retreat and annihilate all the Indian troops that have entered India's northeast."

"Commander, please entrust this mission to our 46th Army. We will definitely complete it successfully."

Cai Debao understood that the infiltration mission was difficult, especially since the troops had to enter India, where they would be completely in the dark.

But Cai Debao must fight for this mission. Because among the troops currently participating in the meeting, the 46th Army is Wang Qiuyun's absolute direct force. At this time, the 46th Army must support Wang Qiuyun's decision with action. If at this time

If the 46th Army doesn't go up, how can you convince other troops that Wang Qiuyun is right?

"Okay." Wang Qiuyun said to Zheng Weishan, "I support the Tibet Military Region's combat plan. But it's still too conservative. You need to cooperate with the Kachin side in the battle."

Wang Qiuyun pointed at the map and said, "After the Tibet Military Region launches an offensive to capture Tawang, Dejang Dzong, and Bomdila, they will continue south to cut off the Siliguri Corridor. This will completely sever the retreat routes of India's northeastern troops."

"Yes."

Zheng Weishan looked at the map and nodded.

After the meeting, Wang Qiuyun submitted the formulated combat plan to the Central Committee and the Military Commission.

This report caused a sensation in the Central Committee and the Military Commission. Because Wang Qiuyun wanted to annihilate

15 to 20 brigades.

Wang Qiuyun did make some revisions to the report, but he didn't dare to directly say that he would annihilate 30 Indian brigades in the first phase.

The Chairman, Wei Hongjun, and the Military Commission leaders held several meetings regarding this operational plan.

General Peng, General He, Marshal Xu, and Deng Guo all believed that they could fight. No one is sure about the combat effectiveness of the Indian army, but no one thinks that the Indian army is stronger than the US army.

Wang Qiuyun can now mobilize about 20 troops, and it is not impossible to annihilate tens of thousands of people in one battle.

After listening to everyone's opinions and exchanging ideas with Wei Hongjun, the Chairman finally approved Wang Qiuyun's battle plan.

On September 1961, 9, the Prime Minister met with the Indian Ambassador to China and expressed his concern about the situation on the Sino-Indian border. The Prime Minister stated that China and India are friendly countries with good relations over the years and that serious military conflict should not occur over the border issue.

If India has any different ideas about the border issue, both sides can sit down and have an open and frank discussion. If Nehru is available, the Prime Minister can invite him to Beijing for talks. If Nehru is not available, the Prime Minister can go to New Delhi for negotiations.

Nehru believed that the Prime Minister's statement was China's "begging for mercy." China had no better solution, so the Prime Minister spoke in a good way.

So after the Prime Minister met with the Indian Ambassador to China,

Nehru was even more confident. He proudly told his cabinet members that the generals on the front line,

Indian people say that China is already showing a tendency to compromise. As long as the pressure on China continues, China will eventually back down.

Nehru's confident judgment influenced the troops on the front line. As a result, the Indian army made great strides forward, advancing more than 20 miles in just a few days.

On September 1961, 9, Foreign Minister Chen Shui-bian publicly criticized India.

General Secretary Chen criticized India's current actions as expansionist and imperialist. This is a violation of China's sovereignty, an invasion of Chinese territory, and a destruction of world peace.

General Chen demanded that India immediately cease its current military adventures and sit down at the negotiating table. China will absolutely not stand by and watch India invade Chinese territory. The Chinese military will certainly defend national sovereignty.

Compared with the previous meeting between the Prime Minister and the Ambassador to India, General Chen's tone this time was much tougher.

However, India has stated that it only wants to recover its territory. India is not an aggressor; it is China that has occupied Indian territory. India will not stop advancing unless China returns these territories to India.

India still did not take China's warning seriously. Nehru was so calm because of the reports from the Indian generals on the front line.

Indian frontline generals reported to Nehru the good news that the current situation was that as the Indian army advanced, many Chinese observation posts would choose to abandon their original observation posts. The Indian army was aggressive, while the Chinese army was retreating step by step.

This made the Indian generals on the front line full of confidence.

The Indian generals were very contemptuous of the Chinese army's "cowardly" performance. Being bullied by the Indian army, they dared not resist and could only give up their positions repeatedly.

In the eyes of Indian generals, the Chinese army is a force without courage, not even an army. If it were them, they would never have retreated so obediently.

It was precisely because of the reports from the frontline generals and the daily reports of "expanding territory" from the frontline troops that

Public opinion in India has reached its peak.

There were even some crazy people in India who asked Nehru to occupy the entire Tibet and Yunnan.

India is going crazy. Nehru thinks he will become a truly world-class political leader. The Indian cabinet and many generals think they are about to usher in a new era of prosperity. The Indian people think they have witnessed India's most glorious moment.

In their eyes, China is the stepping stone for India to reach the top.

On September 1961, 9, Deng Xixian and Chen Tanqiu, while talking with Soviet representatives, specifically emphasized the issue of India. Deng Xixian hoped that the Soviet Union could persuade India.

Don't take military risks.

On September 1961, 9, Comrade Xiuyang spoke with visiting British MPs and expressed his concerns about the Sino-Indian issue. He directly stated that India's current actions could easily lead to a military conflict between China and India.

On September 1961, 9, the Prime Minister publicly warned India.

Tell Nehru not to underestimate the confidence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in safeguarding national sovereignty. If India does not stop its aggression against China, China will have no choice but to take military measures.

For several consecutive days, the top leaders of the CPC Central Committee issued serious warnings on various occasions about the Indian army's violation of China's sovereignty, and everyone's words were very serious.

Some people in India also felt that something was wrong, but in the heated atmosphere of the entire country, no one dared to say anything. At this time, anyone who dared to say a word of opposition might be beaten to death by the fanatical people.

Therefore, the Indian army continued to advance. The Indian army was truly advancing, advancing further than in history.

Wang Qiuyun pays attention to the situation of the Indian army every day.

At this point, Wang Qiuyun thought it was time to take action.

On September 1961, 9, the day before the Premier publicly accused India, Wang Qiuyun reported to the Central Committee and the Military Commission that he was preparing to officially launch a counterattack on September 20.

The Prime Minister's final statement was also intended to support Wang Qiuyun's actions. After receiving approval from the Central Committee and the Military Commission, Wang Qiuyun began deploying troops. Those troops that needed to be infiltrated also began to move.

On September 1961, 9, the Kachin took the lead in launching a counterattack.

1118 sprained waist

In the early morning of September 9, the Indian army stationed not far from Myitkyina.

There are two Indian brigades stationed on the left and right sides, namely the 63rd Brigade and the 117th Brigade. As the vanguard troops entering Kachin, the 63rd Brigade and the 117th Brigade of the Indian Army are quite excited during this period.

After all, they entered Kachin with great fanfare. Although the Chinese army occasionally resisted, it was not too fierce. The Chinese army's observation posts on the Sino-Indian border line usually resisted briefly before retreating.

So they encountered little resistance.

The 63rd and 117th Brigades were delighted to see how easily they could expand India's territory. Upon their return, they might even become India's new ace brigades.

Brigadier General Lal Kho, commander of the 63rd Brigade, was considered an Indian Army officer who served in World War II. However, he didn't see much combat, having graduated from military academy near the end of the war and entering Burma with the British Indian Army. However, before much fighting could be done in Burma, Japan surrendered, marking the end of World War II. At the time, he was just a lieutenant, a junior officer.

But this group of military academy graduates at the end of World War II and the grassroots officers of the army all caught up with a good opportunity. That is, after India's independence, the Indian army began to purge officers who had good relations with the British, and at the same time, the Indian Defense Force began to expand its forces.

They were all junior officers and had no connections with the British. Those who could have connections with the British were at least battalion commanders or higher. So this group of young officers had a golden opportunity to be promoted quickly in a short period of time. From a company-level junior officer,

In just over ten years, he became a brigadier general in his thirties.

Just like Brigadier General Dalvi, the commander of the 7th Brigade captured by China in history, he was in the same situation as Lal Kao. They were all junior officers who seized the opportunity of the Indian army's reform after independence and quickly rose to power.

Larkao was looking forward to a bright future even in his dreams. After taking over Kachin, he would be able to return and be promoted to major general and become the commander of an army division.
