Central Asia, northern regions of Afghanistan, western Pamirs. After China defeated Russia in the last war, it became Chinese territory and was administered by the Chinese province of Xijiang. As China's operational intentions against India become more and more apparent, more and more squadrons have been gathered in the area north of Afghanistan.

More than 100,000 troops of the 1st Group Army of the Chinese Army, the 2OQ to 210th Infantry Divisions of the Army, and 40 Japanese mercenary divisions have already entered the combat position. Gray's war materiel is also ready. As soon as the order from the General Staff is given, they will launch an offensive against Afghanistan.

As a British colony, Afghanistan had relatively few British troops stationed in Afghanistan, and it was only after the large-scale expansion of the British and Indian armies that a group army was mobilized into Afghanistan. The entire group army totaled more than 500,000 people.

In addition, Afghanistan has 100,000 troops, which are under the command of the commanders of the Anglo-Indian forces during the war.

Only 50 kilometers from Afghanistan, Kurgan Tyube became the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army. On the afternoon of 16 October, the commander of the 1st Army summoned the commanders of the divisions below, as well as the commanders of the 201st to 210th infantry divisions, to Kurgan Tyube for a military meeting. In addition, Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian and Japanese mercenary commander General Kojiro Uchiyama will also attend the meeting. Everyone realized that this meeting was supposed to be about the attack on Afghanistan.

Many generals in the Chinese Army are still holding back their strength. Watching their colleagues deal with the Americans on the American battlefield like chopping vegetables and melons, and they can only be a bystander, makes them very jealous and envious of the good fortune of those colleagues. During the war years, if generals wanted to be promoted, they had to accumulate a lot of military exploits. And military exploits can only be achieved on the battlefield. Now, finally, it's their turn. Although the targets of the battle are mainly the British and the Indian Ahsan, the strength is terrible, but can they still dislike it at this moment? Anyway, as long as you defeat the enemy, you will always be able to get the merit. This is already much better than those colleagues who are still confronting the Russians in Central Asia and Siberia!

At 3 p.m., when the military meeting was convened, all the generals had already arrived. At this time, General Yang Guoxing, commander of the 1st Group Army, and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa, chief of staff, walked into the conference room one after the other. All the generals stood up and saluted, and only after General Yang Guoxing and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa returned the salute did they sit down. This time, General Yang Guoxing will serve as the commander of the first group, and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa will serve as the chief of staff of the first group. Admiral Yang Guoxing sat at the top of the conference table, while Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa sat first to his left. The first position on the right-hand side is Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian. As for the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Kojiro Uchiyama, he sat in the rearmost position. As a mercenary commander who obeyed the orders of the squadron, Kojiro Uchiyama didn't have much of a position in the first group at all, and he was not even as good as a division commander in the Chinese Army. Even though the Japanese mercenary force under his command was as high as 400,000 troops, it was comparable in number to the squadron in the first cluster. But that doesn't change anything!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the General Staff has given an order ・Our operation in Afghanistan will begin at 6 am on the 18th! According to the previous plan, the 1st Armored Brigade under the 1st Army and the 3rd, 13th, and 47th Divisions of the Army would directly cross the Penchi River, attack Awady and march towards Kunduz, and sweep the Anglo-Indian and Afghan troops north of the Hindu Kush Mountains. The 48th, 54th, and 55th Divisions, starting from Termez, attacked south along the Balkh River and annihilated the Anglo-Indian forces along the way, with 20 divisions drawn from the Japanese mercenaries to cooperate. Moreover, the main task of the troops on this road was to cut off the escape route of the Anglo-Indian army and the Afghan army to the west. The 201st to 210th Divisions attacked from Kabush, captured Herat, and then attacked east along the Hindu Kush Mountains and attacked Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan! Along the way, there will also be ten divisions and regiments dispatched by Japanese mercenaries! The chief of staff of the 1st Army opened a copy of the document in front of him and read it. This was a battle plan prepared by the General Staff of the 1st Army and submitted to the General Staff for approval. Once the battle begins, the 1st Army, as well as other units, will follow this plan.

"General Chen, this time we need the Air Force to support us!" General Yang Guoxing, commander of the 1st Group Army, said to Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian.

"Rest assured, Commander, the Air Force Wing and the Air Force are ready!" Air Force Lieutenant General Chen Tian replied. It's just that the British and Indian forces don't have airplanes, which is not a challenging task for the air force at all. Chen Tianzhong will also send several wings of the Air Force to participate in the operation against India, which is completely in! It's too much to use expensive aerial bombs to blow up those Indian Ahsan. Aerial bombs are much more expensive than bullets.

"Well, then, if it doesn't make sense, then follow this plan! Remember, our enemies are only 500,000 Anglo-Indian troops and 100,000 Afghan troops. None of them are combat-ready, and the main difficulty we face is poor transportation in Afghanistan. In the course of the operation, all units must ensure the safety and smooth flow of logistics supply lines, otherwise this will cause us great trouble! Admiral Yang Guoxing reminded. The Hindu Kush Mountains divide Afghanistan in half. There are no roads in the Hindu Kush Mountains at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and if the squadron wants to capture Afghanistan, it will have to bypass the Hindu Kush Mountains. This is why the 1st Army's plan includes the Anglo-Indian and Afghan armies in northern Afghanistan to be eliminated by the 1st Army, while the other ten infantry divisions are preparing to bypass the Hindu Kush and attack southern Afghanistan.

"Yes, General!" Everyone replied loudly. They have been longing for this battle for a long time. As for the Anglo-Indian army and the Afghan army, they did not take it to heart at all. It's not that they're arrogant, it's that the combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian army and the Afghan army is very limited, and they are not the opponents of the squadron armed to the teeth.

After the meeting, General Yang Guoxing and Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa came to the office.

"Chief of Staff, how are we getting in touch with Afghanistan? Going to attack the day after tomorrow? How are they going to cooperate with us? Admiral Yang Guoxing asked. China has also been infiltrating Afghanistan over the years. Although the attitude of King Habibullah Khan of Afghanistan was pro-British, China also had its own proxies in Afghanistan.

"We have been in contact with the Tajiks and Hazaras as well as the Uzbeks and Turkmens in northern Afghanistan, and they have promised to cooperate with us in our offensive against the Afghan army and the Anglo-Indian army. However, they demanded that after we defeated Afghanistan, they would take control of northern Afghanistan! Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wu Yanfa said.

The predominantly Pashtun population is Pashtun, accounting for 40 percent of the total population of Afghanistan. Tajiks account for 25 percent, while Hazaras account for 20 percent. Uzbeks and Turkmen account for about five percent. These ethnic groups are responsible for more than 95 percent of Afghanistan's total population. In addition, there are more than 20 ethnic minorities, but because the population is so sparse, it is almost impossible to consider. During this period, the total population of Afghanistan was only more than 3 million people. The Pashtuns are able to gain an absolute advantage.

What's more, the Pashtun ethnic group is more pro-British, while several other ethnic groups are more pro-Chinese, which determines that China will inevitably adopt a strategy of suppressing Pashtuns in Afghanistan.

"Has the country agreed to their request?" Yang Guoxing asked. Although Afghanistan is geographically important, its products are relatively poor. Such land is completely chicken ribs for China. If Afghanistan can be handed over to the pro-China Afghan nation in exchange for Afghanistan's stability, this will be very beneficial to China.

"The country has acceded to their request. The CIA guys had come to an agreement with the clan elders. It is said that when we conquer Afghanistan, we will abolish Habibullah Khan and form a coalition government of Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks and Turkmens. But the Pashtuns will definitely be the target of repression! Wu Yanfa said.

"No matter how they suppress it, it's none of our business anyway! Our goal is to destroy the Anglo-Indian army! Admiral Yang Guoxing said.

The Anglo-Indian army stationed in Afghanistan was the 23rd Anglo-Indian Army, commanded by British Army Lieutenant General Adri. He deployed the main force of the 23rd Army north of the Hindu Kush Mountains, and seemed to intend to have a hard fight with the squadron. The Chinese side was very surprised, why did Lieutenant General Adri do this, did he think that he could defeat the ** team by relying on hundreds of thousands of Indian Asan? As for the Afghan troops, they are deployed on the southern side of the Hindu Kush, mainly near the capital, Kabul.

Although it is not clear whether Lieutenant General Edri was kicked in the head by a donkey, this did not affect the Chinese army's attack plan. When the time came to October 18, the first cluster of the Chinese Army's operations against India launched an attack on the 23rd Army of the British and Indian Army from three directions at half past seven in the morning!
