Watching the weather deteriorate sharply, the Indian army, which was still conducting large-scale exercises a few days ago and showing its special forces combat capabilities at the border, is now anxious; for no other reason, the plateau weather has begun to turn cold, and the situation of India's transportation lines to provide logistical support for the frontline troops in the border areas has begun to deteriorate again, and it is impossible to keep a large number of vehicles flowing at any time; at this time, they realized that after a year, the paved roads in the rear have not yet been fully built.
The Economic Times of India published a report saying that because the road construction in the Sino-Indian border plateau area is really unable to recruit enough construction workers, so the construction period has fallen into a significant delay, in order to rush the schedule, the Indian Border Police Force was 'arrested' and sent its own professional engineering department to the front line, specifically responsible for the construction of a number of roads behind the Indian front troops on the Sino-Indian border, including 4 of the 32 high-standard roads planned for construction.
This incident also fully made people feel that the Indian army was hidden behind the backward and even feudal side of the modern equipment imported from the United States, Russia and France, and everyone in the normal army knew that combat was to fight logistics; even during World War II, the Soviet Red Army knew that it was necessary to repair for several months before launching the Vistula-Oder Offensive and entering Germany.
Modern large-scale war is even more so, a mechanized infantry brigade to maintain five days of high-intensity combat, the consumption of ammunition and fuel and other materials, it must be calculated according to 10,000 tons, if according to the Indian army and indian media themselves in various reports this year, has been carried out in the border after several rounds of troop increase work, just in ladakh and surrounding areas on the western front of the Sino-Indian border, the current deployment of troops has reached tens of thousands of troops, if India really wants to launch a large-scale operation, then how many materials to consume every day, I don't need to calculate it, and this little material cannot be supplied, and what will happen to the tens of thousands of troops on the Indian front when facing the counterattack of our army, then everyone knows in their hearts.
However, a few months have passed since the plateau region warmed up in the spring, and during this time, a large amount of heavy equipment, including tanks and self-propelled guns, has been dispatched to the front line, but when the road is about to be closed in winter, it is anxious to find a special engineering unit to build a road for itself.
To say that India is not the first time in the logistics is not in place to suffer a big loss, last year's border confrontation, the Indian army has because of insufficient logistical support led to casualties, a certain time with our army cold weapons and physical clashes, the day after the commander was taken by our army on the spot, the Indian army immediately fell into a state of collapse, there are a lot of Indian soldiers, in the night because of the collapse lost, there is no supply, not enough warm clothing, frozen to death and frostbitten in the wild Although this is first of all to blame the Indians for not taking the blind provocation and finally collapsing and not closing it in time, India's logistics are insufficient, and it is not enough warm clothing to the soldiers, which is obviously very responsible for this kind of casualty.
When the weather did not turn cold, relying on various gravel roads can also allow India to use trucks to transport supplies to the front line, and even continue to increase troops, and conduct a large-scale exercise every month; so that the Indians let the Indians feel that they have the advantage, forgetting that the plateau will rain, snow and frost together in the winter, and directly seal all the non-paved roads; in the winter, it is obvious that these unpaved roads are not available for trucks transporting materials, and only paved roads for snow removal and ice removal can ensure the smooth logistics. India has mobilized a large number of personnel and heavy equipment to the front this year, but so far it has not even been able to calculate its own logistical support capabilities, and it is indeed too humiliating to think that the road has not been built and cannot guarantee the supply of materials on the front line in winter.
India can probably only pray now that this year's plateau climate can give a little strength, so that it can build two kilometers more roads and send a little more material to ensure that nothing will happen in the winter; but considering that India is still continuing to increase troops, regardless of the shortage of logistical supplies, the supply problems facing India this winter are obviously more serious than last year.
We all say that the Sino-Indian front is essentially a real large-scale firefight that is difficult to occur, mainly concentrated in small-scale physical confrontation or cold weapon conflict, in this kind of conflict, in addition to the level of training and organization, the most decisive battle effectiveness, the decisive thing is that soldiers can eat enough and wear warmly, can maintain the best state, lack of clothing in winter, but also lack of high-calorie food of the Indian army, how to ensure morale and combat effectiveness to continue to provoke?
To say that it is not a snowy mountain in winter, then the Indian army is really suitable for a self-defense counterattack on it now, the supplies cannot keep up, the shells for a campaign are not enough, the fuel cannot be delivered in time, and when retreating, it will probably leave a lot of tanks behind.
