650 Manipur (bottom)
Since the Chinese army made a surprise attack and recaptured southern Tibet, the various deployments made by the Indian army in the northeast have not changed much in line with the actual situation. The 33rd Army of the Indian Army’s Eastern Command suffered heavy losses in southern Tibet. Among them
The basic establishment of the 17th Mountain Division can be abolished. The local border troops, armed police, etc. have also suffered heavy losses.
Disastrous. The Indian Army's Eastern Command had to mobilize part of the 1st Army and 4th Army from the second line to the northeast to directly face the Chinese army. However, since the Chinese army came from the north and east,
Marching at the same time, the Indian army happened to be on the protrusion and suffered great defensive pressure.
The reason why the Indian army mainly deploys the 1st and 4th armies near the Bay of West Bengal, far away from the border areas in the northeast, is because it has its own deep considerations. India believes that the main operational thinking of the Chinese army is not the same as fighting the Chinese.
It is not about "capturing Arunachal Pradesh", but mainly to annihilate the effective strength of the Indian army. I have to say this stereotype
It comes not only from the Sino-Indian War in 196, but also from the various performances of the PLA before liberation. In order to prevent the Indian army from being encircled by the PLA during the first Sino-Indian war, the Indian army decided to deploy more troops.
The second line at the rear provides greater strategic depth, thereby offsetting the tactical effect of certain Chinese pLAR spoons interspersed and surrounded.
However, it was such a deployment that when the Indian army faced China's surprise attack on southern Tibet in the early days, it found that its troops deployed on the front line were stretched thin. A Chinese airborne group army plus some mechanized infantry brigades in the Tibet Military Region totaled 60,000 troops.
After defeating the Indian army, they firmly occupied southern Tibet.
At that time, the Indian Army was shocked to find that it was unable to mobilize more troops for a counterattack. The failure also made the Indian Army resort to war. After seeing that the 33rd Army had lost an entire 17th Mountain Division, the 4th Army even
The headquarters retreated from Tezpur in southern Tibet to Shillong in Meghalaya.
The Indian army, which lacked courage, did not immediately mobilize more troops to counterattack southern Tibet while the Chinese army was still on a weak footing. Instead, it passively waited for the results of the Mozambique Channel Battle, hoping that the US military could defeat the Chinese fleet at sea and open up the route from South Africa to
India's routes brought more NATO soldiers and helped India defeat the Chinese. However, contrary to expectations, India did not wait for news of the victory of the US fleet. The Chinese defended their dominance in the Indian Ocean, while the Indians still only
Able to endure hardships and deal with the Chinese.
India did not wait for reinforcements from the United States, but waited for "reinforcements" from China. After undergoing military organizational reforms, the 6th Army, the 2nd Army (Blue Army) and the 18th Army (Red Alert One-Star Army) were
Yunnan completed its assembly and marched to northeastern India via Myanmar, launching a large-scale operation against the northeastern states of India.
Not only that, Myanmar also announced at this time that it would fulfill its common defense obligations as a member of the Shanghe Organization and dispatched three Chinese light mechanized infantry brigades to coordinate with the Chinese army in military operations. Since Myanmar’s independence, the overall political situation has been relatively stable and development has been rapid.
Quickly. After conducting a crackdown on drug cultivation with the assistance of China,
It established an economy based on industries such as gem mining and processing, tropical planting, and labor-intensive industries. After the economy improved, Myanmar also began to establish a more Chinese-style army. Although it lacked actual combat experience, in such a war, they also
Basically they function as a servant army and are unlikely to appear on the frontline battlefield.
The Indian army is scattered throughout the northeastern region, with about 20,000 Indian ground troops. They will face attacks from China, Myanmar, and even Bangladesh, which is still holding back unannounced attacks at this time, totaling about 400,000 people. The situation has reached an extremely critical point.
.
In order to save itself from the crisis of national annihilation, India has begun to organize its own reserves, using relatively experienced soldiers as seeds to recruit a large number of Indian youths to join the army. Even the victory or defeat of the Eastern Military Region is no longer considered by the Indian government.
The order they received was to hold on to the Northeast region for three months to half a year to keep the Chinese army out of the Siliguri Corridor (a narrow corridor between China and Bangladesh on the border with India, connecting the Northeast region of India, from which they can enter India
core hinterland).
The Indian army plans to use this time and use all available resources to re-arm at least 200,000 soldiers, so that the Chinese invaders will fall into the human sea tactics of curry and cow dung. Regardless of what human sea tactics have to do with modern warfare.
role, but at least having more troops will make the Indians more confident.
Even though India has made such a plan, and it is a very good idea, the ambitious and talented Indians lack detailed and complete specific deployment details to support their entire strategic intention. In short, their various deployments in the Northeast
It is a mess, knowing that Myanmar is an ally of China, but its defense against China's breakthrough from the east, which is flatter and has more and better roads, is relatively lax.
The Chinese 6th Army broke through the mountainous areas on the border and became even more at home when it entered the flat lowland valleys. The Indian Army only defended the 21st Mountain Division of the 4th Army and the 2nd Mountain Division of the 33rd Army in the lowland areas.
Each division has less than 20,000 troops, and since it is mainly a mountain division, it lacks necessary heavy equipment. What is more serious is the lack of combat vehicles and tanks, and there are not many anti-armor weapons.
The Sixty-fifth Group Army pursued the victory and organized three armored charges. They gathered the Type 99 main battle tanks from each combined battalion to form a large-scale armored cluster. Under the cover of air and ground firepower, India lacked mobility and was not large enough.
Two large mountain division troops.
Even though the Type 99 main battle tanks equipped by the 6th Division are basically 99 or even slightly older models like 99, compared to the Indian Army, which only has a few T2 and Nl tanks, these Type 99s are enough to crush them again and again.
Until it is crushed into rice flour.
There is no suspense in such a battle, and even some pLAR commanders and fighters find it not very interesting. Driving a tank to drive away the panicked Asan is really a lack of sense of accomplishment. The Chinese soldiers are only interested in those who dare to resist.
The Indian army was completely wiped out, and those who lost
The Indian army abandoned their weapons and fled, and captured them. As for the trophies discarded by the Indian army, everyone showed little interest. It was not until some agents from the Strategic Bureau came to tell everyone to collect these weapons that anyone took them away.
Clean, sort and send to warehouse.
A soldier asked an agent of the Strategic Bureau: "Comrade, these AK47s and the like are already obsolete items. It is probably not cost-effective for us to collect them and dismantle them and sell them for scrap. They will destroy them centrally. Why do we need to collect them?"
?”
The agent kindly answered him: "We really don't need it, but that doesn't mean others don't need it."
The agent will not tell this soldier more details. In fact, it is Qi Yiming's instruction to collect the weapons of the Indian army. As the Third South Asian Front Army invades Northeast India, the Strategic Bureau's task is still relatively heavy, with hundreds of people
Agents run around in different places to realize various important plans formulated by the bureau.
Among them, contacting important local Sino-Tibetan people and uniting them to discuss the future of Northeast India is the core task of agents of the Strategic Bureau. Several states in the Northeast have traditional and deep-rooted attitudes towards Indians
hostility and dissatisfaction, just like the residents of Manipur, who did not respond when they saw the Chinese army marching into the state in full formation.
There was no panic or worry, and many residents even stood outside to watch the excitement. Apparently the locals had no hostility or resistance to the Chinese who had similar skin color and appearance to themselves. They even watched groups of dejected Indian prisoners being escorted by Chinese soldiers.
While standing, the crowd kept erupting in cheers. They have always lacked a sense of identity as Indians.
In the 33rd Army of the Indian Army, a considerable number of soldiers are from local ethnic groups, accounting for about 70%. However, most of the officers are of Indian origin, which also causes conflicts between officers and soldiers in the army to occur from time to time. Qi Yi
Ming planned among the captured Indian soldiers of Northeastern Han and Tibetan ethnic groups,
Conduct a selection to select relatively open and obedient soldiers to form a "puppet army" mainly used to deal with the Indian army and maintain order. They have also used some of the weapons abandoned by the Indian army, so it is easy to get started.
Fast, easy to quickly form combat effectiveness.
Imphal, the capital of Manipur, could not hold on for even a day before it was captured by the 6th Army. This also triggered a cascading effect. It was learned that the Chinese elevated the status of the Sino-Tibetan ethnic group and were very rude to the Indian ethnic group.
, causing many Indian ethnic groups living in the Northeast, including Hindustani, Sikhs, Dravidians and many other people who are not Mongolian in appearance, to become refugees one after another and flee from the Northeast.
After Manipur was controlled by the 6th Army, the 2nd Army invaded Nagaland and Assam from the north, and the 18th Army invaded Mizoram and Tripura from the south. The entire eastern India
Several states were fully invaded by the Chinese army, while India only
We can watch the Chinese advance on their land, because the Indian army is short of major generals, and the troops are simply unable to assemble an offensive that can withstand the Chinese army that is at least three times their size, not to mention the training and equipment levels of the Chinese army.
Much higher than the Indian Army.
The strategic plan of delaying the Chinese army for three to six months has been completely proven to be unfeasible. The Indian army has prepared for the worst and is preparing to focus on protecting its effective forces and move the 1st Army, 4th Army and 3rd Army under the Eastern Command.
