On the sixth night of the war, the Indian army was still hovering outside Lahore when the Pakistani army counterattack began.

Strictly speaking, an offense.

In fact, it was only at this time that the war reached its climax.

Why?

As mentioned earlier, it is very unrealistic for Pakistan to completely defeat India, not only is it impossible, but it will not do much good for Pakistan, so at the strategic level, Pakistan will not pursue absolute victory, nor will it think of achieving absolute victory.

Limited wins?

Clearly, what Pakistan needs is a limited victory.

So, what can be done to achieve a limited victory?

The answer is very obvious, it is to act in disputed places and let India suffer heavy losses, but not to collapse completely.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the Pakistani authorities have targeted Kashmir.

By launching an offensive in Kashmir, India will not only be dealt a heavy blow without the situation getting out of control, but it will also leave room for peace talks.

For this reason, in terms of troop deployment, the Pakistan Army has focused more on Kashmir.

Of course, the problem is also prominent.

Kashmir is typically mountainous and difficult to defend, so there are too many troops to make a big deal in Kashmir.

It can be said that it will be difficult for the Pakistan Army to make a difference in Kashmir without managing to change tactics.

In fact, this is also a common problem faced by both sides.

If there are not enough troops, or if there are not good enough tactics, it will be difficult for both the Indian army and the Pakistani army to make a breakthrough in Kashmir.

Otherwise, the two sides would not have faced off here for decades.

However, relatively speaking, Pakistan is in a slightly better position.

Why?

The only plain area of Kashmir, the Jammu region, is under Indian control, while the northern part of Pakistani control is entirely mountainous.

From a military point of view, the only thing Pakistan needs to pay attention to is Jammu.

To put it more bluntly, if Pakistan can take Jammu in one fell swoop, it will hopefully take control of the whole of Kashmir and drive India out of Kashmir.

Of course, this is definitely not an easy thing to do.

You know, over the past few decades, Pakistan has deployed at least 40 percent of its army in Kashmir, and India has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in that direction.

Unlike Pakistan, the Indian army focused on Jammu.

It can be said that Jammu is the first military town in northern India, and has always been at the forefront of the confrontation with Pakistan, and is the most important military fortress in northeast India.

It is definitely not an easy task to defeat Jammu.

Why?

Although Jammu is located on the plains south of Kashmir, the terrain is still very complex, and most of the roads lead to India, with only one road to Pakistan.

This kind of traffic situation is very unfavorable for the Pakistan Army.

For the armoured forces to work, Pakistan would have to use that road, and the Indian army could have deployed heavy troops on this road.

Field marches?

Even if it works, what about logistical supplies?

Also, without armored forces, relying only on infantry, it is simply impossible to occupy Jammu.

The situation can be said to be clear at a glance, the Pakistan Army's military operations on this side pose a threat to Jammu at best, but they are not enough to change the strategic situation.

Clearly, this is the key reason why India does not attach much importance to Jammu.

Why?

Poor transportation conditions also limited the Indian army's combat operations, making it difficult for the Indian army to march into the hinterland of Pakistan through Jammu.

Of course, the confrontation that has been going on for decades is not so easy to break.

Only, is there another option for Pakistan?

Confronting the Indian army on the Lahore front?

Obviously, no matter what the fighting looks like, Pakistan will only win at the tactical level, and it will be difficult to achieve victory at the strategic level.

Midland?

The central part is a desert with poor infrastructure and little value.

Southern Battlefield?

Pakistan has no territorial ambitions, nor does it intend to cross hundreds of kilometers of swamps to attack India's largest city.

It can be seen that as long as Pakistan wants to make achievements at the strategic level, it can only make a fuss in Jammu.

How to do an article?

Obviously, new offensive tactics must be adopted, and new tactics are built on a new system of equipment.

Any new tactic must be supported by a new equipment system.

Without tanks, where is the blitzkrieg?

Still relying on the old equipment system, Pakistan will certainly not be able to achieve victory on the side of Jammu.

Re-establish the equipment system?

Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not.

In the situation of Pakistan, it is also impossible to make large-scale changes to the army, after all, in the direction of Lahore, in the direction of the southern theater of operations, the armored corps is the main force.

It can be said that without armored troops, the survival of Pakistan is in question.

More importantly, Pakistan cannot joke about the strategic security of a Jammu country.

So what to do?

Reshuffle the mountain troops deployed in Kashmir!

That's right, that's what the Pakistan Army came up with.

In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Dong and his family came to Pakistan and began to cooperate with the Pakistani military and became the main civilian contractor of the Pakistani military.

Help Pakistan restructure its mountain forces.

After the end of the Iraqi civil war, Wang Dong received an invitation from the Pakistani military.

In fact, he fled to Pakistan at that time, because if he didn't leave, Crown Prince Mohammed would probably marry his own sister to him.

Since then, Angu has signed a contract with the Pakistan Army.

What contract?

Helped the Pakistan Army train mountain troops.

Of course, this is only part of the external claim, and the actual work is to help the Pakistan Army establish a new tactical offensive system through training.

Why are you looking for Wang Dong?

Cheap.

The Pakistani military did not pay a penny for this contract, and the remuneration given was the right to use several military bases, and helped Wang Dong to acquire land in Pakistan.

You know, the land in Pakistan is privately owned and in the hands of the major tribes and families.

Fortunately, in Pakistan, the military's influence is paramount.

Whether it is a D&F company or an "Angu" company, if it wants to develop in Pakistan in the future, it needs to establish a base, which also requires land acquisition.

Of course, it's also a tough job.

You must know that Pakistan's mountain troops are all light infantry, and they have always focused on defense, and have not paid much attention to offensive, and there was no need for this aspect of operations before.

Everything has to start all over again, and the difficulty can be imagined.
