Chapter 254 The advantage is in me
Front line at the west exit of the Siliguri Corridor.

Three field divisions transferred from the Deccan Plateau area in southern Tianzhu, plus the previously half-disabled 36th Field Division, 21st Defense Division, and another 34th Field Division from West Bengal.

A total of six divisions, with a total strength of 7.6 troops.

In addition, there are three fighter squadrons and one bomber squadron of the Tianzhu Air Force, all appearing near the front line of Xikou.

The person in charge of commanding this group operation is Lieutenant General Vichy Volvo, who is also the elder brother of the commander of the 36th Division who was killed some time ago.

Having learned the lessons of the previous shelling of the headquarters, Vichy did not set up the headquarters on the front line, but set up the headquarters near the city of Burnia, which is about 115 kilometers away from the front line.

It is also one of the front-line airports.

Below a small hillside on the outskirts of the city of Burnia is the headquarters of Vichy. In order to avoid detection of electromagnetic wave signals, the communication here uses wired communication, and the radio communication station is set up 2.7 kilometers away.

But this kind of strict defense is obviously ineffective in the face of all-pervasive cockroaches and flies.

Vichy looked at the sand table in front of him, and Chief of Staff Shaabad planted a small flag on the sand table.

Looking at the west entrance of the Siliguri Corridor, the long and narrow location, Vichy's expression was very solemn and helpless.

In the area with a width of only about 20 kilometers, hundreds of scouts have been bombed into the sky these days, using their flesh and blood to find out part of the situation for the Tianzhu Army.

The person in charge of the reconnaissance department gritted his teeth and reported: "Now the entire area around Siliguri City is covered with various landmines, and there is also a drone base hidden in the Darjeeling Mountains. Our scouts cannot penetrate at all."

"Where's the Air Force's reconnaissance plane?" Vichy turned to look at Luke, the head of the Air Force's Intelligence Department.

Luke replied embarrassingly: "Now there are no residents in the entire Siliguri Corridor, and there are few large moving targets on the ground."

For the reconnaissance plane of the Tianzhu Air Force, the Assam Branch actually didn't pay too much attention to it. It intercepted it if it could intercept it, and let the reconnaissance plane look at it if it couldn't.

After all, the Assam branch is on the ground, and there are no facilities at all.

"Are they hiding underground?" Vichy looked at the sand table with a headache.

Chief of Staff Shaabad finished planting the flag: "Judging from the current reconnaissance situation, it is very likely that the Assam rebels intend to use the entire Siliguri Corridor to delay our attack."

Why didn't Vichy know that Assam's sinister intentions were already evident on the map.

The core area of ​​the seven states of Assam is surrounded by the five states of Huaguo, Hongshawadi, Dongba, Zhuyu, and Nibhara. Only the Siliguri Corridor, a small passage, has a land border with Tianzhu.

"General, can you consider borrowing a route from Dongba to go directly to the Assam region?" Sha'abad suggested.

"Excuse me?" Vichy shook her head.

He has actually considered this possibility, but the risk of doing so is very high.

If the air force just used the airspace of Dongba to bomb the Assam area, then Dongba might dare not speak out.

However, it is basically impossible to directly mobilize several field divisions to go to Assam from Dongba.

And even if it is successfully borrowed by force, how will the logistics be guaranteed at that time?
Vichy finally made up his mind: "We can only forcefully break through from the Siliguri Corridor, otherwise the logistics will not be guaranteed, and we will prepare for a saturated attack from rocket launchers, and blow up a safe passage directly."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away." Shaabad also knew that this was their only option.

Following the orders of the headquarters.

The 26th of the three field divisions quickly pulled out a large number of rocket artillery from the bunker.

Fortunately, Assam moved all the population of the Siliguri Corridor away, which allowed the Tianzhu Army to attack unscrupulously.

24 minute later.

The dense rocket launchers made a sharp whistling sound, smashing towards the western defense line of the Siliguri Corridor like a meteor shower.

Boom boom boom...

Fierce explosions extended from the border defense line to the vicinity of Siliguri City.

at the same time.

The relatively highly mechanized 28th Division, under the cover of rocket launchers, quickly rushed to Assam's western defense line.

The vanguard is minesweeping armored vehicles and engineering regiments, as well as a tank battalion and a mobile battalion in charge of security.

After the defense line was washed by rockets, there were not too many mines left. With the efforts of mine-sweeping armored vehicles and engineers, they pushed forward to Siliguri City little by little.

The Siliguri Army in the Assam branch did not respond, not even a drone raid.

This did not make Vichy too happy. He ordered the frontline troops to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time let the air force stand ready to support.

The advance work went very smoothly.

For three days in a row.

The 28th and 30th divisions of the Tianzhu Army successfully controlled the city of Siliguri and several surrounding small towns.

The 26th Division is also on the Xikou defense line, rebuilding the defense line to facilitate the 28th and 30th Divisions, and at the same time as a logistics base.

The command room on the outskirts of Burnia.

Wei Xi stared at the sand table, the smoothness in front of him made his inner uneasiness even stronger.

This is also the reason why he didn't continue to attack. He also specially asked the 26th Division to stay on the Xikou defense line to build defensive positions and logistics bases, just to avoid going too deep all at once.

At this moment, Sha'abad hurried in.

"General, Derry dispatch."

"Huh?" Vichy frowned, and then opened the letter. After reading it, his face was very ugly: "..."

Shaabad saw that Vichy's expression was not right: "General, is there some accident?"

"look by youself!"

After receiving the letter, Shaabad read it, and his face became cloudy and uncertain: "General, if we continue to attack now, our ammunition consumption will accelerate, and even if the supplies arrive tomorrow, it will not be enough to support us within a week. Invade Assam."

Now they can control Siliguri City by washing the ground with rockets. Otherwise, with such dense mines, it is impossible to advance more than 60 kilometers in three days with engineers and mine-sweeping armored vehicles.

But Delhi kept urging him to step up his offensive, asking him to invade Assam within a week and completely put down the rebellion in two months.

This is simply difficult.

Vichy took a deep breath, and then sent a telegram to Delhi, hoping that they could change their minds and buy more time.

It's a pity that Bodhidharma and others in Delhi also have their own considerations.

The reason why they hurriedly asked Vichy to put down the rebellion as soon as possible was that the economy was about to fail. After all, it would cost a lot of money to purchase fighter planes from Lucia, and it would also need a lot of money to repair the airport.

In addition, with so many troops on the front line, the ammunition and various supplies consumed every day are also a lot of money.

The loss of control in the Assam region caused Tianzhu to lose a large oil field and coal-producing area.

If the Assam War cannot end in a short period of time, India's finances will definitely not be able to sustain it.

After all, Tianzhu is not America with a nuclear-powered money printing machine. Every day the war lasts, it burns money, and it burns foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, Bodhidharma personally called Vichy's request for leniency in the telegram, asking Vichy to concentrate his efforts immediately to put down the Assam rebellion as soon as possible.

In Bodhidharma's view, the Tianzhu army now has a huge advantage, if they don't take the opportunity to expand their results, what are they waiting for?

In short, it is one sentence: the advantage is in me.

Faced with Bodhidharma's mandatory order, Vichy could only bite the bullet and execute it.

the next day.

After receiving the supplies, he immediately let the 21st garrison division take over the Xikou defense line, and then let the 26th and 36th divisions go north to join the 28th and 30th divisions in Siliguri City.

Started a full-scale attack on the Darjeeling region and the seven states of Assam.
