    The Indian troops stationed in Manipur were violently attacked by China's superior artillery fire before they even engaged the Chinese vanguard.  The electromagnetic gun put into practical use for the first time played a considerable practical role. After the war, it was evaluated that an artillery battery of six electromagnetic guns was worth the firepower assistance provided by a battalion of the traditional pL05 6-caliber chemical self-propelled artillery.

    The first battle showed that the electromagnetic gun did not have as many failures that affected the battle as previously expected. The failure rate was no different from that of traditional self-propelled artillery such as the very mature pL05. This also strengthened the confidence of some electromagnetic gun factions in the army.  It also promoted the army's large-scale replacement of electromagnetic guns and even developed self-propelled electromagnetic guns more similar to the pL05.

    The 6th Army that entered Manipur from Myanmar has been reorganized. Several units that had been reorganized into brigades were re-upgraded to divisions. In addition to the retention of the artillery, air defense, and armor brigades, the infantry 19B1941196196 brigades were all upgraded to divisions.  The division and the 196th Brigade were transformed into a blue army. After being promoted to a division, they were transferred to the Second Army and joined the blue army.

    The first one to break into Manipur was the 19th Infantry Division of the group army. The entire 19th Infantry Division was the unit with the least changes in the group army, because the 19th Infantry Division directly absorbed a mechanized infantry brigade and combined it with the original 194th Brigade troops to form the current troop organization.  Unlike several other divisions, some reservists and even new recruits who returned to the army were added.

    From the perspective of organization and equipment, the 19th Infantry Division is the most typical infantry division. After more than ten years of evolution, the traditional organization of one mechanized infantry regiment, one armored regiment, one air defense regiment, and one artillery regiment.  It has been replaced by 4 synthetic infantry regiments, 1 armored regiment and 1 anti-aircraft regiment.  Artillery, armor, and mechanized infantry have achieved a relatively good balance and unity.

    Even if the PLA dispatches troops the size of a group army or even a front army, the most basic tactical units in actual combat are battalion-level units. Although these combined battalions do not have many soldiers and equipment, they are able to attack local brigades with cooperation.  Level troops attack and defend, which directly reflects the powerful combat power of PLA Tiger Ben.

    After the Indian army was severely beaten by the Chinese artillery, the Chinese 6th Group Army directly covered and killed a synthetic infantry battalion under the 19th Pei. When the Indian armored troops were thrown into chaos by the shelling, the synthetic battalion's  Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles directly launched a penetration attack, directly penetrating the Indian army's square formation from the middle, defeating the Indian army's will to resist, destroying more than 20 Indian tanks and armored vehicles, and only losing three infantry units.  Tanks, single digit casualties.

    Since the war started, countries around the world, including the Indians, have fully recognized that the Chinese Army is not only the largest army in the world, but also the most powerful army.  Even many military experts in the United States admit that if the U.S. Army encounters the Chinese Army, the chance of benefiting from it is slim. From equipment to tactics, the Chinese Army has its own system, and the Red Army established more than half a century ago is especially  Paying attention to the will to fight and the spirit of sacrifice is something that the US military, which is good at fighting smooth battles but not very good at fighting hard battles, can achieve.

    Since its establishment, the U.S. military has rarely relied on its unyielding fighting will to defeat the enemy in the face of adversity, and it has rarely defeated the enemy with less when its numbers, scale, and technology were inferior to its opponents.  The brilliant victories achieved by the US military were basically achieved when there was an overwhelming advantage in troop strength ratio and there was a very large generation gap in technology.

    ¡°The Chinese Army is several times larger than the U.S. Army, and is not weaker than the U.S. Army in terms of technical weapons. It still has obvious advantages in some places. This makes some people in the U.S. Army fear the upcoming competition between Chinese and American ground forces.  The U.S. military has always sent ground troops to India before the navy takes control of the sea and air in the western Indian Ocean to help the Indian army resist China. However, many people are strongly opposed to this proposal, believing that this is a stupid decision that will send the U.S. military into the abyss of danger.

    However, if the US military cannot effectively support the Indian army, it will be an almost impossible task for the Indian army to resist the Chinese PLA.

    A former retired Army lieutenant general of the US military once said at a hearing organized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "Although the Indian army has grown in size, it actually lacks the ability to organize large-scale battles like China. Since its establishment, the Indian army has  The wars fought were basically limited to sporadic situations. Even the three India-Pakistan wars were, in isolation, regional wars of limited scale and intensity. The current war in the subcontinent is a large-scale war in which China aims to destroy India.  War, and such a war has a prominent feature, that is, it is dominated by large-scale battles. Compared with India's lack of experience in this field, China has a lot of experience in this field. From the liberation war that the pRC has not yet been established, Red China.  The army launched many large-scale battles, continuously defeating the KNT army and finally rushed to Taiwan. In 193 and 1991, China also launched such large-scale battles against the Soviet Union and Russia, especially in the 199119 war.  China dispatched millions of troops and conducted multiple large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people, completely defeating Makashev's army. Now, China has prepared two front armies in southern Tibet and Kashmir.  ?With 100,000 troops, we have to be infinitely pessimistic about India's future.  "

    The Indian Army has established an Eastern Command in the northeast, which oversees three armies: the First Army, the Fourth Army, and the 33rd Army, with a scale of hundreds of thousands.  The troops in direct conflict with China's 6th Group Army were the 1st Army that was transferred to the northeastern border for defense. Both in terms of equipment and soldiers, they were far behind the 6th Group Army. Naturally, if they wanted to withstand the 6th Group Army's attack,  Not much hope.

    Moreover, the 1st Army is not in peace. Its northern part, southern Tibet, has been captured by China. The 15th Army of the PLA Airborne Forces and some scattered troops are eyeing the Indian army there. The Indian army is not only worried about the incoming troops from Myanmar.  The Chinese 65th Army also has to worry about the equally wolf-like 15th Airborne Army and other forces attacking them from the flanks.  As a result, the Indian Army's Third Army is basically doomed to lose this battle before it even begins.

    As non-commissioned officer advisors accompanying the army, Baima Ajia and Li Ying followed the 6th Army to break through the India-Myanmar border and launched a series of thunderous attacks on the Indian Army's Third Army.  Throughout the entire advance, the 6th Army had been fully assisted by the Army Aviation Division directly under the Third South Asian Front Army. During non-war times, the PLA did not establish Army Aviation division-level forces, and due to the trend of synthesis,  It has become increasingly obvious that the establishment of the Army Aviation has become smaller and smaller, and even later entered the combined battalion unit, and the Army Aviation Regiment has basically remained within the military-directed units of the group army.

    But the emergence of a weapon changed this status quo, and that was the Tengu mecha.  The Tengu mecha is an Army aviation weapon that can be used as both an infantry combat mecha and an attack aircraft. It has innate battlefield adaptability. Each Tengu Army aviation division is equipped with four regiments with a total of 10B Tengu mechas. They follow the front line.  The ground troops will act together, and when necessary, they will take off and transform into attack aircraft to launch air strikes. When the fuel bombs are exhausted, they can land on the spot, and the logistics of the ground troops will replenish fuel and weapons and continue to accompany them in the fight.  This caused the entire 6th Army's advance to be under the cover of powerful air suppressive firepower at all times. Although the Indian army also attempted to seize air supremacy to counter China's deformed mechas, more Chinese fighter jets followed.  It took off from Yunnan and launched a fierce offensive against the Indian Air Force via Myanmar. From the beginning to the end of the war, the Indian ground forces did not receive decent support from their own air units.

    Li Ying watched as several Tengu attack aircraft in the sky poured out shells with their 3mm cannons, continuously piercing and destroying the Indian armored vehicles on the ground. Some Tengu attack aircraft directly dropped guided bombs, sending out bursts of red.  Black mushroom cloud, he couldn't help but sigh: "The war is already changing at a speed that we cannot foresee. It has only been a few years, and such incredible things have entered our combat order and been put into service in large numbers. Maybe in a few years  In a few years, we will be completely unfamiliar with war."

    Baima Ajia is very optimistic about this: "The elimination of us old guys shows that our army is changing with each passing day, which is a good thing. But I am thinking about how much better the war would have been if we had had these tengu in our time.  beat."

    The Tengu mecha flew through the air like a plow, leaving behind the remains of Indian soldiers and vehicles. The Type 99 main battle tank on the ground seemed to have been robbed of the limelight and could only follow behind.  Knocking out a few Indian tanks that had not been completely cleared away showed that although he had served for more than ten years, he was still a majestic land warfare king.

    Some bold Tengu pilots even rushed into the Indian army's formation, directly transformed into a mecha form at ultra-low altitude, and fired wildly at Indian tanks, armored vehicles, and even ordinary Indian soldiers who had no time to react.  When all the enemies in this circle were eliminated by him, he suddenly pulled up from the ground, transformed into an attack aircraft, and attacked other Indian troops again.

    Of course, the luck of these Tengu is not entirely that good. They are flexible and fierce, but at the same time, they are not as rough and fleshy as main battle tanks. The Indian army also has some self-propelled anti-aircraft guns or shoulder-fired individual anti-aircraft missiles.  These things are the nemesis of Tengu. Many Tengu were shot down by these anti-aircraft weapons without being able to evade them. However, these anti-aircraft weapons will soon be attacked by Chinese tanks and mechas, and they will be destroyed first.

    In this day's battle, an entire division of the Indian Army's 1st Army was nearly wiped out by the 6th Army. The Indian Army had to retreat from the mountainous and favorable defensive terrain on the border to the flat valley terrain.  Here, the Chinese's large-scale mechanized troops have more room to display.
