    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 as the situation has changed.  The 33rd Army of the Indian Army's Eastern Command suffered heavy losses in southern Tibet. The basic establishment of the 17th Mountain Division can be abolished. The local border troops and armed police also suffered heavy losses.  The Indian Army's Eastern Command had to mobilize part of the 1st Army and 4th Army from the second line directly to the northeast to face the Chinese army when its troops were stretched thin.  However, since the Chinese army marched from the north and the east at the same time, the Indian army was located on the salient and suffered great defensive pressure.

    The reason why the Indian Army mainly deploys the First Army and the Fourth Army near the Bay of West Bengal, relatively far away from the border areas in the northeast, is because it has its own deep considerations.  India believes that in fighting the Chinese, the main combat idea of ??the Chinese army is not to "capture Arunachal Pradesh", but to annihilate the effective strength of the Indian army.  I have to say that this stereotype stems 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 and encircled by the PLA during the first Sino-Indian War, the Indian Army decided to deploy more troops on the second line in the rear to provide greater strategic depth, thus offsetting a certain degree of the PLA's encirclement and encirclement tactics by the Chinese PLA.  Tactical effect.

    However, it was this kind of deployment that made the Indian army find that its troops deployed at the front were stretched thin when facing China's surprise attack in southern Tibet in the early days.  A group of Chinese airborne troops plus some mechanized infantry brigades from the Tibet Military Region totaled 60,000 troops. After defeating the Indian army, they firmly occupied southern Tibet. At the same time, the Indian army was shocked to find that it could not mobilize them at the moment.  The 4th Army mobilized more troops to carry out a counterattack, but the failure also made the Indian army take action. After seeing that the 33rd Army lost an entire 17th Mountain Division, the 4th Army even retreated from Tezpur in southern Tibet to Mejia.  Shillong, Rayapang.

    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 bring more NATO soldiers and help 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, but the Indians could still only struggle to deal with the Chinese.

    India did not wait for reinforcements from the United States, but waited for "reinforcements" from China.  After undergoing military organizational reform, the 6th Army, 2nd Army (Blue Army) and 18th Army (Red Alert One-Star Army) completed their assembly in Yunnan and marched to Northeast India via Myanmar to launch a counterattack  Large-scale fighting in 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.  fast.  After the crackdown on drug cultivation was carried out with the assistance of China, an economy based on industries such as gem mining and processing, tropical planting, and labor-intensive industries was established.  After the economy improved, Myanmar also started to establish a more Chinese-style army. Although it lacked actual combat experience, in such a war, they basically played the role of a servant army and were 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 and has not announced at this time, a total of 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 the role of human sea tactics in modern warfare, 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.

    When the Chinese 6th Army broke through the mountainous areas on the border and entered the flat lowland valleys, it felt even more at home.  However, the Indian army only defends one unit each of the 21st Mountain Division of the 4th Army and the 2nd Mountain Division of the 33rd Army in the lowland areas. The size of the troops varies.There are 22,000 people, and since they are mainly mountain divisions, they lack 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 troops were completely wiped out, while those who abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions were captured.  As for the trophies discarded by the Indian army, no one was interested. It was not until some agents from the Strategic Bureau came to tell everyone to collect these weapons that someone cleaned and sorted them and sent them to the warehouse.

    A soldier asked an agent of the Strategic Bureau: "Comrade, these AK47s and other things can already be eliminated. 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 agents would not tell this soldier the more detailed content. In fact, it was 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 mission is still relatively heavy. Hundreds of agents are running around in different places to realize various important plans formulated by the Bureau.

    ¡°Among them, contacting important figures of the local Sino-Tibetan ethnic group and uniting them to discuss the future of Northeast India is the core task of the agents of the Strategic Bureau.  Several states in the Northeast have traditional and deep-rooted hostility and dissatisfaction against Indians. Just like the residents of Manipur, they had no panic or worry when they saw the Chinese army marching into their state.  Many residents even stood outside to watch the excitement.  Apparently the locals had no hostility or resistance towards Chinese people whose skin color and appearance were similar to their own. Even when they saw groups of dejected Indian prisoners being escorted by Chinese soldiers, the crowd continued to cheer.  They have always lacked a sense of identity as Indians.

    In the 33rd Army of the Indian Army, a considerable part of the 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 Yiming planned to conduct a selection among the captured Indian soldiers of the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups in the Northeast, and select soldiers who were more open-minded and obedient to form a "puppet army" mainly used to deal with the Indian army and maintain order. The Indian army  They have all used the weapons they gave up before, so they can get started quickly and can quickly form combat effectiveness.

    Imphal, the capital of Manipur, was captured by the 6th Army before it could hold on for even a day.  This also triggered a cascading effect. Knowing that the Chinese elevated the status of the Sino-Tibetan ethnic group and were very rude to the Indian ethnic group, many Indian ethnic groups living in the northeast, including Hindustani, Sikhs, and Dravidians,  Many people who are not of Mongoloid appearance have become refugees and fled from the Northeast region.

    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, and India could only watch the Chinese advance on their land. Because the Indian army lacked major generals, its troops were simply unable to assemble an offensive that could withstand a Chinese army that was at least three times its size.  , not to mention that the training and equipment level of the Chinese army is much higher than that of 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.  The 33rd Army gradually withdrew from the Northeastern states in an orderly manner and deployed more troops from the hinterland of India to defend the Siliguri Corridor. As for the Northeastern region, India could only feel relieved that it had traded space for time.
