Nearly 200,000 Indian troops were surrounded, and the Indian army's top brass was still tossing 2 armored brigades.

This situation looks extremely weird.

To hit this bottom, it is necessary to use the garrison of New Delhi, is the Indian army without soldiers?

Apparently not.

In fact, just northeast of New Delhi, there is a main force of the Indian army, with at least 5 armored brigades, and all of them are equipped with T-90S.

In addition, there are more than 10 armored brigades with at least 300 T-90S in northeastern India.

It's just that the Indian army simply does not dare to use troops in these two directions.

Why?

Huaxia has already Chen soldiers on the border.

At that time, a group army in China had already been stationed in the southwest region, and there was also a group army in the northwest direction, at least one fast reaction brigade had reached the southwest front, and the brigade was equipped with the latest light tanks and dozens of long-range rocket artillery.

If a fight really starts, the armored units deployed by the Indian army in the eastern region may not be able to withstand it.

You must know that this 30-ton light tank was specially developed for mountainous terrain with poor road conditions, and its combat capability is definitely not under the T-90S.

It can be said that at this time, a ceasefire is the only option for the Indian army.

For nothing else, just for the 180,000 soldiers surrounded by the Pakistani army, the Indian top brass should consider a ceasefire, at least through ceasefire negotiations to buy some time.

It's just that the Indian top level obviously feels that face is more important.

In fact, on the same day, the Indian Prime Minister met with the ambassadors of the United States and Japan and made a request to the United States and Japan.

What request?

It is hoped that the United States and Japan will provide India with a batch of military assistance in the near future to help India turn the tide of the war, or at least avoid defeat.

Defeat?

Let's not talk about whether the Indian prime minister's use of this term is to intimidate the United States and Japan.

It is clear that if the United States and Japan do not provide support, then India is indeed likely to lose the war and suffer a heavy loss.

The question is, what kind of assistance can the United States and Japan provide?

Directly send troops to the war?

Obviously, that's not possible.

Don't forget, Huaxia has never made a move, to a large extent, because it does not want to give the United States and Japan a reason to enter the war, and it is also to curb the conflict between the United States and Japan to enter the war.

In addition, far water saved the near fire?

The United States is separated from India halfway around the world, thousands of kilometers from Japan to India, and China's heavy military groups are already on the border.

Dare to say that as long as the United States and Japan agree to send troops, China will immediately fight.

With China's strength, I am afraid that the Indian prime minister will flee from New Delhi before the arrival of reinforcements from the United States and Japan.

In fact, even if China does not send troops, but only provides all-round assistance to Pakistan, it has a great confidence that India will be defeated quickly.

Why?

Almost all of Pakistan's main battle equipment comes from China, and even some equipment that is not Chinese can be produced in China.

In other words, the weapons and equipment provided by Huaxia to Pakistan can be immediately used by the Pakistani army.

In fact, what limits the Pakistani army's assault capability is actually the lack of main battle equipment, especially the main battle tanks like the VT-4.

In addition, the Pakistani Air Force also lacks enough fighters.

All in all, as long as China opens the floodgates and sends a steady stream of tanks and fighters to Pakistan, the Pakistani army is expected to reach New Delhi within half a month.

Can reinforcements from the United States and Japan arrive in half a month?

In fact, Huaxia has always been relatively restrained, not because it does not want to teach India a lesson, but because it wants to control the scene and avoid the war from getting completely out of control.

You must know that the complete defeat of India may not be able to bring much benefit to China.

If nothing else, just tens of thousands of war refugees can cause great trouble to India's neighbors, and Huaxia is India's neighbor.

From the point of view of maintaining regional stability, India must also remain intact.

Not to mention that India has nuclear weapons.

If the situation gets completely out of control, then no one can guarantee that the Indian top leadership will not make a decision to use nuclear weapons when the end is near.

If India uses the nuclear weapons it has at its disposal, it will be a great disaster!

Of course, in any case, neither the United States nor Japan can send troops to war.

So, what kind of assistance can be provided?

Material?

In fact, the United States has been providing aid to India in terms of materials, especially energy, that is, shale oil from the United States has been arriving in Indian ports in a steady stream.

In addition, Japan is also helping India buy oil from the international market.

It can be said that without the shale oil provided by the United States and without Japan coming forward to purchase oil from the Gulf countries, India would not have been able to survive for long.

Before the outbreak of the war, India's domestic oil reserves were only 30 days.

In other words, India's oil reserves can only support the normal consumption of the domestic market for 30 days.

In addition, the United States is also providing food, medicine and other assistance to India.

As for weapons and ammunition, it is even more needless to say.

At that time, the United States supplied mainly ammunition, especially artillery shells.

On the seventh day of the war, a U.S. Navy transport ship arrived in Mumbai and delivered about 50,000 tons of artillery shells to the Indian army.

Almost all of these shells came from US military bases in Djibouti, and they were mainly 155mm grenades.

In fact, this is also the most scarce ammunition for the Indian army.

Why?

There are serious quality problems with 155-mm shells made in India, and some of the accessories, such as fuses, even need to be imported.

In addition, the United States has supplied India with a number of firearms, mainly M16A4 rifles and M4A1 carbines.

Of course, in the warehouses of the US military, there are so many such firearms that they are simply not used up, and these two types of firearms are being eliminated by the US military.

In other words, the United States has given India aid to the second-hand goods that have been eliminated.

Of course, before it was offered to India, there must have been some treatments, such as re-oiling, so that the guns looked like they were new.

In terms of ammunition for firearms, there are not many problems.

India has its own ammunition factory, which is capable of producing NATO-standard caliber guns and ammunition, and the production capacity is not small, which can basically meet the consumption of the war.

Like the United States, Japan's military assistance to India is dominated by light weapons and ammunition.

However, Japan's family background is certainly not comparable to that of the United States, and there are not so many weapons and ammunition in stockpile, and due to the restrictions of its military strength, Japan will not return too many second-hand weapons, so it is naturally impossible to send weapons and ammunition to India one by one, as the United States did.

At that time, the most important part of Japan's assistance was electronic equipment.

On the second day of the war, Japan airlifted several thousand individual radio stations to India by transport planes, which can be said to have done the Indian army a great favor.

Why?

What the front-line units of the Indian army lacked was electronic equipment such as individual radios, and the assistance provided by Japan just solved the urgent needs of the Indian army.
