Since the Chinese army made a surprise attack and regained southern Tibet, the various deployments made by the Indian army in the northeast have not changed as the situation has changed. The 33rd Army of the Eastern Command of the Indian Army suffered heavy losses in southern Tibet, of which the basic establishment of the 17th Mountain Division could be abolished, and the local border troops and armed police also suffered extremely heavy losses. The Eastern Command of the Indian Army had to transfer part of the forces of the 3rd Army and the 4th Army from the second line directly to the northeast to face the Chinese army when the forces were overstretched. However, since the Chinese army was advancing from both the north and the east, and the Indian army was in the salient, it was under great defensive pressure.

The reason why the Indian army mainly deployed the 3rd and 4th armies near the Bay of West Bengal and is relatively far away from the border areas in the northeast also has its own deep considerations. India believes that in the fight against the Chinese, the main combat ideology of the Chinese army is not to "seize Arunachal Pradesh", but to annihilate the effective forces of the Indian army. It has to be said that this stereotype comes from both the Sino-Indian War in 1962 and the various expressions of the PLA before liberation. In order to prevent the Indian army from being staged by the PLA in the interspersed encirclement tactics of the First Sino-Indian War, the Indian army decided to deploy more troops in the second line of the rear to provide greater strategic depth, so as to offset a certain tactical effect of the Chinese PLA interspersed with encirclement.

However, it was this kind of deployment that made the Indian army find that its troops deployed at the front line were overstretched in the face of China's surprise attack on southern Tibet in the early days. After defeating the Indian army, the Chinese airborne army and some infantry brigades of the Tibet Military Region, with a total of 50,000 troops, firmly occupied southern Tibet, and at the same time, the Indian army was also shocked to find that it was unable to mobilize more troops for a counteroffensive for a while, and the failure also made the Indian army a rat trap, and the 4th Army saw that the 33rd Army had lost an entire 17th Mountain Division, and even the headquarters retreated from Tispur, which was close to southern Tibet, to Shillong, in Meghalaya.

The Indian army, which lacked courage, did not immediately launch more troops to counterattack southern Tibet while the Chinese army was not firmly established, but passively waited for the results of the Battle of the Mozambique Channel, hoping that the US military could defeat the Chinese fleet at sea, open the route from South Africa to India, bring more NATO soldiers, and help India defeat the Chinese. However, India did not wait for the news of the victory of the American fleet, and the Chinese defended their hegemony in the Indian Ocean, while the Indians could only struggle to maneuver with the Chinese.

India did not wait for reinforcements from the United States, but it waited for "reinforcements" from China. After undergoing military reform, the 65th Army, the 2nd Army (Blue Army Corps) and the 18th Army (Red Alert One-Star Army) completed their assembly in Yunnan and marched to northeast India via Burma, launching a large-scale campaign against the northeastern states of India.

Not only that, at this time, Myanmar also announced that it would fulfill its joint defense obligations as a member of the Shanghe Organization, and sent three Chinese light infantry brigades to cooperate with the Chinese army to carry out military operations. After a crackdown on drug cultivation with China's assistance, an economy was established based on industries such as gem mining and processing, tropical cultivation, and labor-intensive industries. After the economy improved, Burma also set out to build a relatively Chinese army, although the actual combat experience is insufficient, but in such a war, they basically play the role of a servant army, and it is unlikely to appear on the frontal front-line battlefield.

The Indian army, scattered throughout the northeast, about 200,000 Indian ground troops, will face attacks from China, Burma, and even Bangladesh, which is still holding back and not announcing it, with a total of about 400,000 troops, and the situation has reached an extremely critical point.

In order to save itself from the crisis of national destruction, India has begun to organize its reserves, using relatively experienced soldiers as seeds, recruiting a large number of Indian young people into the army, and even the victory or defeat of the Eastern Military District is no longer in the consideration of the Indian government, and they have been ordered to hold out of the Siliguri corridor for three months to six months in the northeast region to keep the Chinese army out of the Siliguri corridor (the narrow corridor between China and Bangladesh bordering India, connecting the northeastern region of India, thus giving access to the core hinterland of India).

The Indian army intends to use this time, using the resources available to it, to arm at least 2 million soldiers again, and to trap the Chinese invaders in the crowd tactics of mixing curry and cow dung. Regardless of the role of crowd tactics in modern warfare, at least having more troops would make the Indians more confident.

Even if India has made such a plan, and it has thought very well, the ambitious and talented Indians lack detailed and perfect specific deployment details to support their entire strategic intentions, in short, their various deployments in the northeast are a mess, knowing that Burma is an ally of China, but the defense of China is relatively lax from the east, which is flatter and has more and more complete roads.

The Chinese 65th Army broke through the mountainous areas of the border and entered the flat valleys of the plains. The Indian army only defended in the lowland areas with only the 21st Mountain Division of the 4th Army and the 27th Mountain Division of the 33rd Army, with less than 20,000 soldiers, and because it was mainly a mountain division, it lacked the necessary heavy equipment, and even more strictly it lacked combat vehicles and tanks, and there were not many anti-armor weapons.

Taking advantage of the victory, the 65th Group Army organized three armored charges, gathered the Type 99 main battle tanks of each composite battalion, and formed a large-scale armored cluster.

Even if the Type 99 main battle tanks equipped with the 65th Division are basically slightly older models such as 99A5 or even 99A4, compared to the few T-72 and M1 tanks in the Indian Army, these Type 99s are enough to crush them again and again until they are crushed into rice flour.

There is no suspense in such a battle, and even some PLA commanders and fighters feel that it is not very interesting, driving a tank to drive away the panicked Ah San, it is really a lack of sense of achievement, the Chinese soldiers just completely wiped out those Indian troops who dared to resist, and those Indian troops who abandoned their weapons and fled everywhere, and captured them. As for the loot discarded by the Indian army, everyone was also not interested, and it was not until some agents of the Strategy Bureau came to order everyone to put away these weapons, and no one cleaned and sorted them and sent them to the warehouse.

A soldier asked an agent of the Strategy Bureau: "Comrade, these AK-47s and other things are already things that can be eliminated, let's put them away, it is estimated that it is not cost-effective to dismantle and sell the scraps, and the centralized destruction is, why do we still collect them?" ”

The agent kindly replied to him: "We really don't need it, but that doesn't mean that others don't need it." ”

For more details, the agent will not sue the soldier, and in fact, the weapons of the Indian army are also Qi Yiming's instructions. With the Third Front Army of South Asia attacking northeast India, the task of the Strategic Bureau is still relatively heavy, and hundreds of agents are running in different places to realize the important plans formulated by the Bureau.

Contacting key figures from the Han and Tibetan communities in the region and uniting them to discuss the future of Northeast India is the core task of the agents of the Strategy Bureau. Several states in the northeast have traditional and deep-rooted hostility and resentment towards Indians, just like the residents of Manipur, when they saw the well-formed Chinese army marching into their state, there was no panic or worry, and even many residents stood outside to watch the excitement. It was clear that the locals were not hostile to Chinese people of similar skin color and appearance, and even when they watched the dejected groups of Indian prisoners being escorted by Chinese soldiers, the crowd continued to burst into cheers. They have always lacked a sense of identity with their Indian identity.

In the 33rd Army of the Indian Army, a considerable part of the soldiers are of local ethnicity, accounting for about seventy percent, but most of the officers are of Indian origin, which also makes conflicts between officers and soldiers in the 33rd Army occur from time to time. Qi Yiming planned to conduct a selection among the captured Indian soldiers of the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups in the northeast, select soldiers who are relatively open and obedient, and form a "puppet army" mainly used to deal with the Indian army and maintain order.

Imphal, the capital of Manipur, was breached by the 65th Army without holding out for even a day. This also triggered a cascading effect, knowing that the Chinese exalted the status of the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups and were very unkind to the Indian ethnic group, leading many Indian ethnic groups living in the northeast, including Hindustani, Sikhs, Dravidians, and many other people who are not, have become refugees and fled from the northeast.

After Manipur was controlled by the 65th Army, the 2nd Army invaded Nagaland and Assam from the north, the 18th Army invaded Mizoram and Tripura from the south, and several states in eastern India were fully invaded by Chinese troops, while India could only watch the Chinese advance on their land, because the Indian army lacked major generals, and the troops were simply unable to assemble an offensive that could withstand at least three times its own Chinese army. Not to mention that the level of training and equipment of the Chinese army is also much higher than that of the Indian army.

The strategic plan of delaying the Chinese army for three to six months was thoroughly proved to be unfeasible, and the Indian army prepared for the worst, preparing to protect the living forces, gradually and orderly withdraw the 3rd, 4th, and 33rd armies under the Eastern Command from the northeastern states, and transfer more troops from the hinterland of India to hold the Siliguri corridor.
