In order to make the most effective use of the troops in his hands, Wang Dong contacted General Bashir as soon as possible and made arrangements for combat operations.

To put it simply, the troops brought by Wang Dong were responsible for reconnaissance and fortification, and the Pakistani army was responsible for sweeping the battlefield.

Of course, the battle had to be commanded by the personnel arranged by Wang Dong.

Fortunately, Admiral al-Bashir did not object.

In addition, there is little meaning in the Pakistani army, especially the junior officers.

Why?

Most of the grassroots officers have participated in the training and study organized by the "Angu" company, and they know Wang Dong and these people very well and know their abilities.

In fact, many Pakistani army officers were trained by Wang Dong.

According to Wang Dong's deployment, the attack was mainly based on firepower.

To put it simply, it is to send out a reconnaissance force, and after discovering the Indian army, immediately carry out a fire strike, and then send troops to clean up the battlefield.

Of course, this also puts forward extremely high requirements for logistics support.

Just during the day on the 20th, the artillery brought by Wang Dong used up nearly 10,000 rounds of large-caliber shells, and almost all of them were mortar shells.

As for the results, there is certainly nothing to say.

According to incomplete statistics, during the day on the 20th alone, nearly 3,000 Indian officers and soldiers were killed in battle.

In fact, it was not until the 22nd that it entered the final stage of attacking.

At that time, there were about 5,000 Indian troops in Jammu.

Although scattered in dozens of locations, most of them in fortified buildings, almost all of these Indian troops were main forces from the rear.

To put it simply, it's hardcore.

Obviously, these Indian troops may not necessarily surrender.

By the night of the 22nd, only the last three strongholds controlled by the Indian army remained.

They are extremely sturdy buildings.

In these three strongholds, the Pakistani army paid an extremely heavy price.

Time was pressing, Wang Dong did not delay much, and sent all the artillery up, so that the large-caliber mortar howitzers could shoot at close range under the cover of the main battle tank.

Why?

Directly demolish the buildings held by the Indian army!

The fighting was not fierce, but the shelling continued until dawn.

In fact, at around 4 o'clock in the morning, the Indian troops holding these strongholds had already stopped resisting, but Wang Dong did not give the order for a ceasefire.

Why?

Shells that can't be used have to be transported back, and there is no need for that.

The point is that mortar shells are simply not worth anything.

According to Wang Dong's order, the combat troops had to run out of shells before withdrawing, so as not to have to dispose of the shells when they withdrew.

Before dawn, al-Bashir sent a report to the General Staff of the Pakistani Army that Jammu had been occupied.

In fact, there was still a small area under the control of the Indian army, which was only a suburb east of Jammu.

In the past three days, al-Bashir has also made adjustments to the deployment, allowing the previously withdrawn Pakistani troops to quickly make a detour behind the Indian positions east of Jammu.

Why?

Sweep the plains east of Jammu and take control of all of Indian-administered Kashmir.

It's just that the offense didn't go well.

By the early morning of the 23rd, there were still some areas under the control of the Indian army, but they were all near the border line, and the area was not large.

On the whole, the Pakistani army has completed the established battle plan.

On the morning of the 23rd, the Pakistani authorities announced a temporary ceasefire.

Of course, whether a temporary ceasefire is really needed depends on the attitude of the Indian authorities, that is, whether the Indian authorities can swallow the breath of throwing away Jammu.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Indian authorities also announced a temporary ceasefire.

Of course, the ceasefire lasted only 48 hours.

During this period, India and Pakistan will hold the first negotiations, to be precise, and informally under the mediation of the United Nations Security Council.

Why?

The two sides have still not reached an agreement on a ceasefire, i.e. there are still significant differences on the basic terms of the ceasefire.

Despite the defeat on the battlefield, the Indian authorities still insisted on the Pakistani army retreating to the position it had before the conflict broke out.

Is it possible?

Because all the members of the UN Security Council came forward to mediate, both India and Pakistan sent officials at the level of deputy foreign ministers to the UN headquarters.

In fact, this is the key to why Pakistan was able to delay for three days to respond.

It will take a few days to arrange a negotiator, or an official at the level of deputy foreign minister.

The question is, what can a 48-hour temporary ceasefire be called?

As long as India insists on returning the Pakistani army to its pre-conflict position, there will be no negotiations, and the Pakistani army will not necessarily stop in Kashmir.

At the time, few had clear hopes for the 48-hour talks.

In fact, on the morning of the 23rd, the General Staff of the Pakistani Army issued the next stage of combat mission.

According to the plan of the Pakistani army, the next battle with the Indian army will be fought near Bertankot to undermine the morale of the Indian army and make the Indian authorities accept the fait accompli.

It's just that this magnanimity is obviously a bit small.

Why?

Bertanokot is a small city, and even if it wins, it doesn't mean much.

Moreover, the aim now is to force India to sit down at the negotiating table and make the Indian authorities accept a fait accompli, which should teach India a profound lesson.

In fact, on the same day, Yunlong made a proposal to the Pakistani authorities to focus on Amritsar.

What?

To put it bluntly, if India is not willing to negotiate, then take down the Amritsar and then use the Amritsar to bargain with India.

Where is Amritsar?

Just east of Lahore is a large city with more than 2 million inhabitants and one of the most populous cities in India in the northern region.

What's more, Amritri is the gateway to New Delhi.

To put it simply, by taking Amritsar, the Pakistani army will be able to march on Jalandar and then on New Delhi.

In addition, with Amritsar threatened, the Indian army is unable to increase its troops in Kashmir and can only accept the status quo in Kashmir.

Yunlong's proposal has been highly valued by the Pakistani authorities.

It's just, it's too late.

By the time Yunlong made this suggestion, the General Staff of the Pakistani Army had already issued operational orders to the grassroots units, and it would take a lot of time to reformulate their plans.

Of course, it will also take time to redeploy combat units.

Fortunately, the Pakistani authorities have instructed the General Staff of the Pakistani Army to immediately begin to formulate a plan for attacking Amurel and to adjust its deployment in advance.

It is clear that the Pakistani authorities do not believe that a 48-hour temporary ceasefire will allow India to sit down and negotiate.

In response to the demands of the Pakistani authorities, the General Staff of the Pakistani Army urgently adjusted its operational plan.

That is, the combat operation in the vicinity of Bertankot was not aimed at capturing Bertankot, but a campaign of movement around Bertankot.

What does it mean?

To put it bluntly, it is to use the attack on Bertanokot to inflict heavy damage on the Indian army and destroy the living force of the Indian army!
