The front line of the west entrance of the Siliguri Corridor.

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

There are six divisions in total, with a total strength of 76,000.

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

The person responsible for commanding this group operation was Army Lieutenant General Vichy Volvo, who was also the eldest brother of the 36th Division Commander Wilvorvo who was killed some time ago.

Learning from the lessons of the previous bombardment of the headquarters, Vichy did not set up the headquarters on the front line, but set it up near the city of Burnia, about 115 kilometers away from the front line.

This is also one of the frontline airports.

Under a hillside on the outskirts of the city of Burnia is where Vichy's headquarters is located. In order to avoid detection of electromagnetic wave signals, all communications here use wired communications, and the radio communication station is set up 2.7 kilometers away.

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

Vichy looked at the sand table in front of him. Chief of Staff Shahabad placed a small flag on the sand table.

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

In that area, which is only about 20 kilometers wide, hundreds of scouts have been blasted into the sky these days, using their flesh and blood to explore part of the situation for the Tianzhu Army.

The person in charge of the reconnaissance department gritted his teeth and reported: "Now the entire surrounding area of ​​Siliguri City is covered with various landmines, as well as drone bases hidden in the Darjeeling Mountains. Our scouts cannot penetrate at all."

"Where are the Air Force reconnaissance planes?" Vichy turned to look at Luke, the head of the Air Force Intelligence Department.

Luke replied awkwardly: "Now there are no residents in the entire Siliguri Corridor, and there are few large moving targets that can be detected on the ground."

In fact, Assam did not pay too much attention to the reconnaissance planes of the Tianzhu Air Force. If they could intercept them, they would intercept them. If they could not, they would just let the reconnaissance planes watch them as they pleased.

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

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

Chief of Staff Shahabad finished planting the flag: "Judging from the current reconnaissance situation, the Assam rebels are most likely planning to use the entire Siliguri Corridor to delay our attack."

How could Vichy not know that Assam's sinister intentions were clearly evident on the map.

The core area of ​​the seven states of Assam is surrounded by the five forces of Huaguo, Hongsawady, Dongba, Zhuyu, and Nibala. Only a small passage, the Siliguri Corridor, has land borders with the mainland of India.

"General, can you consider borrowing a road from East Pakistan to penetrate directly into the Assam region?" Shahabad suggested.

"Excuse me?" Wei Xi shook his head.

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

If it was just the Air Force that took advantage of East Pakistan's airspace to bomb the Assam region, East Pakistan might be too angry to speak out.

But it is basically impossible to directly mobilize several field divisions and use the road from Dongba to Assam.

And even if the forced passage is successful, how will the logistics be guaranteed?

Vichy finally made up his mind: "We can only force a breakthrough through the Siliguri Corridor, otherwise the logistics cannot be guaranteed. We must prepare a rocket saturation strike and directly blow up a safe passage."

"Okay! I'll make arrangements right away." Shahabad also knew that this was their only choice.

Following the command's order.

The 26th Division among the three field divisions quickly pulled out a large number of rocket launchers from the bunkers.

Fortunately, Assam relocated all the people in the Siliguri Corridor, which allowed the Tianzhu army to attack without restraint.

24 minutes later.

The dense rocket launchers made a sharp whistling sound and hit the west entrance defense line of the Siliguri Corridor like a meteor shower.

Boom boom boom...

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

at the same time.

The highly mechanized 28th Division, under the cover of rocket launchers, quickly rushed towards Assam's west entrance defense line.

At the vanguard are mine-sweeping armored vehicles and engineer regiments, as well as a tank battalion and a mobile battalion responsible for security.

After the defense line was washed away by rocket launchers, there were not too many mines left. With the efforts of mine-sweeping armored vehicles and engineers, they were advancing little by little toward Siliguri City.

The Siliguri Army in Assam did not respond at all, not even a drone raid.

This did not make Vichy too happy. He ordered the frontline troops to be more vigilant and the air force to be ready to support at any time.

The push went very smoothly.

Three days in a row.

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

The 26th Division is also re-building the defense line at the west entrance to facilitate the reception of the 28th Division and the 30th Division, and at the same time serve as a logistics base.

The command room on the outskirts of the city of Burnia.

Vichy stared at the sand table, the success in front of him making his inner uneasiness more intense.

This was also the reason why he did not continue the attack. He also specifically asked the 26th Division to stay at the west entrance defense line and build defensive positions and logistics bases, just to avoid going too deep at once.

At this moment, Shahabad hurried in.

"General, urgent message from Delhi."

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

Shahabad saw something wrong with Vichy's face: "General, is there an accident?"

"look by youself!"

After receiving the letter, Shahabad's face became uncertain after reading it: "General, if we continue to attack now, our ammunition consumption will accelerate. Even if the supplies arrive tomorrow, it will not be enough to sustain us within a week. Invasion of Assam.”

Now they can control Siliguri City by washing the land with rocket launchers. Otherwise, with such dense mines, there is no way for engineers and mine-sweeping armored vehicles alone to advance more than 60 kilometers in three days.

But those in 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 too much to do.

Vichy took a deep breath and sent a telegram to Delhi, hoping that the other side would change its mind and buy more time.

Unfortunately, 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 could no longer sustain it. After all, purchasing fighter jets from Lucia would cost a lot of money, and repairing the airport would also cost a lot of money.

With so many troops on the front line, the ammunition and various supplies consumed every day also amount to a lot of money.

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

If the Assam war cannot be ended in a short time, Zhu'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 is burning money, and it is burning foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, in response to Vichy's telegram requesting mercy, Bodhidharma personally called him and asked Vichy to immediately concentrate its efforts 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, then what are they waiting for?

In short, there is one sentence: The advantage is mine.

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

the next day.

After receiving the supplies, he immediately asked the 21st Division to take over the west entrance defense line, and then asked the 26th Division and the 36th Division to go north to join the 28th Division and the 30th Division in Siliguri City.

Started to launch a full-scale attack on the Darjeeling area and the seven states of Assam.
