if we ever gona win a respectable victory against india we need to revisit our old maps the one from indus valley civilization
in which gujra along with kashmir was a part of it and it is natural extension of modern day pakistan
history is written by victors
and offensive is best defense
german army and wehrmakh was much weaked qualitatively and quantitative wise from france alone in june1940 then came 500k british forces to help french
but still master techniques of guderian turned the tides of warfare
coming back to indo pak theatre
we need a diversion on uper most theater in kargil.
we need to grab zojila pass which we missed last time and paid heavy heavy price for it.
capturing zojila means hitting indians on the right nerve
which there forces in iok rush north we gota thrust heavy on jamu akhnoor pani pat basically that huge area which was supposed to be taken in87
indians would have no choice but to reinforce the area heavily ao now there choice is either bring assets from up north chinese border or down south feom rajistan they most likely take some from rajistan area to complement there defense upward
there we would have a chance and our strike corp in multan will attack longewala jaisalmer start rom bikaner ro negate indian supply and cut them from north side now in this all hush hush our 5corp in karachi can attack gujrat/junagar which anyway was supposed to a part of pakistan
now strike corp feom multan and feom karachi can merge together in ahmedabad where they can create forward operations area now india would have to trade either kashmir or gujrat and we can throw in a peace deal as a good gesture
please give ur feedback
One thing we always miss is that, once we are running our campaign on one side, we do not run the enemy's on the other. It goes on without saying that Indians have thought all about it, and have potent reserves, apart from safeguards. Point is, It wont be this simple, for neither side.
In your opinion, what is the importance of Zoji La Pass?
There is a whole Brigade Group, with two more on standby (no other task), just to defend Akhnur.
Again, their 17 Mountain Corps (which is lurking around SOMEWHERE in the area) is missing from you planning.
Their Northern Comd reserves, and Corps reserves (14, 15 and 16) are potent enough, with enough stocking of supplies, to fight an independent battle for months.
If you visit border opposite Rahim Yar Khan, you'll see for you self that attack direction towards Jaisalmer is the least preferred. The alignment of sand dunes dont allow us to attack in that direction.
Strike Corps cannot operate that deep without assured supply routes, otherwise they will be badly cut off. What happened to 4 Cavalry will happen again, though on a large scale. Clearance of stronpoints and heavily defended pivots req disproportionate force ratios (atleast 6:1). We dont have this much force.
And lastly, their three Strike Corps (1, 2, 21) ae also missing from your equation. What they will do , where will they come, when will they come, that has always a definite bearing on our responses.
