Less than 100,000 defenders may seem like a lot, but defending more than 100,000 square kilometers of land is still far from enough. If East Pakistan is occupied, even if Yahya Khan is the head of the military, he will be doomed by then.
The end is sad.
Now Yahya Khan, on the one hand, hopes that the US task force passing through the Strait of Malacca can deter India, but on the other hand, he also has to gamble on his future.
Soon, Yahya Khan made the decision to convene a military meeting to fight a full-scale war with India. The situation might become more dangerous, but he had no choice.
News of Pakistan's official declaration of war on India spread throughout the world at the speed of light, and at the same time Pakistan launched an attack on India on the western front.
Later, Indira Gandhi broadcast to the nation, "This is now a total war, not a war in Bengal, and we have been waiting for it for a long time."
Across India, countless people took to the streets, holding up portraits of Indira Gandhi to express their support for the war. Their patriotism was palpable.
The Indian military's offensive on the western front will be on the defensive according to the previous plan. After the results are achieved on the eastern front, it will turn around and come back to solve the problem on the western front.
"Isn't this great? The Germans call themselves experts. India is not afraid of the problems that the Germans tried their best to avoid in the two world wars. What does it mean to be a great and impressive country?" When discussing with Makins, Alan Wilson said to
India's move expressed admiration.
Although he, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, usually talks down India, he still does not hesitate to praise Indira Gandhi at this time. In fact, apart from choosing the wrong opponent in 1962, India is still a remarkable country.
It's a pity that the decisive battle between India and Pakistan has no traffic on the top of the Himalayas.
"At present, it seems that India's winning rate is still very high." Makins also admitted this. In his opinion, India's victory is only a matter of time.
"The gateways around Dhaka are the four cities of Faridpur, Bogora, Mimensingh, and Chandpur. Once these four cities are captured, the direction of the war in East Pakistan will be clear. Among them, India's northern and eastern routes
The road has been going strong since the war started, and now there is good news on the western front as well, and India has taken the advantage in the East Pakistan battlefield."
"It seems that when India and Pakistan were divided, today's result was destined to happen." Markins sighed, "But it's okay, at least they will find something to do."
"Marshal Mountbatten actually doesn't like the plan of partitioning India and Pakistan." Alan Wilson must say something for his father-in-law at this time. This is really the result of the two major religions not wanting to be in one country.
The British have done what they should do and have tried to persuade them to make peace. However, the leaders of the two parties cannot come to an agreement and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Because there are a large number of Bengalis in the army and the independent army formed by Bangladeshi exiles in India, although India encountered resistance in East Pakistan at the beginning, especially on the western border, India's progress on the other two routes was very poor.
It was said to be smooth and there was no difficulty in playing away from home.
On the side of West Pakistan, where the fighting has begun, India, as the defender, is evenly matched with the attacking Pakistani army. The side with the same level and greater numbers has an absolute advantage.
India is now on a very comfortable side. After Pakistan declared war, it did not change its overall disadvantage.
In order to knock on the door to Dhaka, the attacking Indian army, under the leadership of Bangladeshi guides, carried out a key offensive on two fronts. The western front was the top priority. The western front was divided into two operational areas: southwest and northwest.
.
The southwest combat area refers to the areas south of the Ganges River in East Pakistan and west of the Jamuna River, including Kushtia, Jessore, Khulna, and Faridpur.
In this area, the warring parties mainly carried out offensive and defensive operations around Jessore, Khulna and Faridpur, the transportation artery leading to Dhaka. The Indian army led the 9th Infantry Division with the newly formed Second Army and the 4th Infantry Division.
The Mountain Division launched an offensive in an attempt to capture Jessore in order to cut off the connection between Khulna and the garrison of Kushtiaba. Then, depending on the situation, it captured Faridpur and launched an offensive in the direction of Dhaka.
Faridpur is an important town that the Indian army has invested the largest amount of troops on the western front to capture. Only by taking this place will Dhaka, the capital, feel threatened.
Street fighting is cruel. People seem to no longer know what pain is or what death is. They only know how to fight, fight with blood and fire, to avenge their comrades!
Perhaps during the day, India would take advantage of its armor and personnel to occupy a block, and at night, the defenders would come out and take it back again. Both sides were murderous, leaving countless bodies behind.
When the front line has been glued together, it is no longer possible for India to use its original artillery tactics.
The leading troops have even entered the east side of the city, and after passing half of the city, there are our own people everywhere, and there are enemies everywhere. If we continue to shell at this time, we will only cause our own people to suffer losses along with them.
The image of the Indian army as a benevolent and righteous army did not last long. There is no way to fight without death, and New Delhi did not need to urge it to adjust its tactics. Commanders at all levels have already made changes in accordance with reality.
The Indian army has a large number of troops composed mainly of fellow soldiers. According to the history of a certain big country, the Hunan Army and the Huai Army belong to this category of armies formed based on fellow villagers and relatives.
The Indian army has a large number of this type of troops, and many of them died when they encountered resistance. Their commanders could not explain why. Artillery plowing was immediately used, and it was very effective.
The distant war kept Alan Wilson very busy. He spent a lot of time just reading newspapers one day. Then he called Brest and said, "The public opinion I want to see is that the Indian army's military discipline is corrupt, and the definition is rape."
There were many cases, but the Pakistani defenders were even simpler and they massacred Bengalis."
I don’t know if the Indian army’s military discipline can be on an equal footing with that of the Americans, but I guess there will be no problem, and the reports on Pakistan are certainly not slanderous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, Pakistan had a slogan when it suppressed the Bangladesh independence movement, saying that killing three million Bangladeshis will solve everything at the top.
The problem is, this slogan is still quite widespread.
Before the surrender, the Pakistani garrison in Dhaka even carried out a bloodbath at Dhaka University. Until Pakistan's defeat, he didn't know if Pakistan killed three million people, certainly hundreds of thousands.
Although the British army has not yet been dispatched, British reporters have already appeared among the Indian army. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. There is no shortage of people in any era who earn money by working hard.
When adjusting public opinion, it must be hinted that the two countries that were independent from the former colonies have degenerated into the barbaric age after leaving British rule. The British are certainly qualified to say this. The British army, as the army with the best military discipline during World War II, is definitely not a waste.
False name.
In the final battle of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the British army's turn was relatively lonely, but still elegant.
"The most important thing is that the British army finally had to take action to stop widespread human rights violations." Brest immediately understood that this was to create public opinion for intervention.
"If we don't save them, who will save them? The Americans, the Soviets, or the Chinese?" As soon as Alan Wilson finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. It was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There is a saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived. It is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveying the latest situation in Washington. To put it simply, Kissinger feels that his micro-management is very fair.
At a time when India has the upper hand, the attitude of not taking the United States seriously makes this government very uncomfortable. Kissinger has already stated that he has communicated with a certain major country. The U.S. warships are heading to the Bay of Bengal. We have the advantage in the ocean.
The subtext is that I can defeat the Soviet Union there, so there is no need to be afraid.
Then he said that the United States has used satellites to collect the situation on the Sino-Soviet border. Some of the Soviet Union's arrangements can be clearly seen, and it can be provided to a big country whenever it needs it. The subtext is that I can give you benefits and we can form a military alliance in the future.
Confidence has been given, benefits have been mentioned, and then there are requirements: if a major country believes that the situation in the Indian subcontinent is a threat to its own security, and if it wants to take action to protect its security, the United States will oppose other countries' irresponsible remarks.
"Well, okay!" Alan Wilson put down the phone and let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Brest asked, "Secretary-General, whose phone number is it?" Why did the supreme authority look like this after answering the phone?
"I just find it funny." Alan Wilson explained the operation of Kissinger's Chang Gong possession, and then curled his lips and said, "Just pretend that you don't know about this. The Himalayas are closed. I will see Kissinger next time
I suggest that he go on a trip at the end of the year to see if he can implement the operation he said."
Kissinger's suggestion is so nonsense. Who can intervene at this time? If there is anyone, it has to be me, Great Britain. The two transport planes are staying in Nepal, and they are now waiting for Sikkim to ask for help.
In any case, now we must go to Monroe to criticize the United States. Monroe must be ashamed and blush.
"Why are the armies of these countries like this?" Monroe is actually very concerned about current affairs. She was very concerned about it when she was in the United States. When she saw reports that Indian and Pakistani troops had committed war crimes, she couldn't stand it.
"Actually, the armies of most countries are like this." Alan Wilson hugged Monroe's smooth body and did not forget to create a character for himself. "I am also thinking of ways to stop it, but I don't have a clue yet."
Many facts show that men dare to say anything in front of women, and he only despised Kissinger during the day.
As a result, the two rockets now have no clue of the north, south, east, and west, and they have shown an attitude of competing for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
There is no clue yet about how to stop it, but if he acts like he is trying to stop it, he already has a clue. Now all he needs is his good friend, King Palden Dundup Namgarh of Sikkim, to make a public appeal.
When Myanmar hoped that Britain would find ways to stop the refugees, Britain did not respond. When the United States hoped that Britain would help intercept the Soviet Red Navy, Britain did not respond. This time the King of Sikkim issued an appeal again, and Britain would respond.
"It's very simple. It should highlight the British presence." Alan Wilson introduced the situation in Sikkim at No. 10 Downing Street. Isn't this nonsense? He himself saved Sikkim. Facts have proved that saving Sikkim is really useful.
