It implies that China knew its supply line was so stretched that its front line would fall apart in the event of a spirited counterattack. That Nehru didn’t allow such counterattack to happen and obliged the Chinese by accepting the cease fire is another story.
So you still think Chinese supply caravan is in same shape as it was in 1962?Ridiculous to think that way isn't it?
Firstly IA is not involved in handling ‘Naxal misadventures’ so you can’t really get a measure of how IA would react in case of NE just by looking at Naxals. Secondly, unlike Naxals, NE rebels are fractured, mostly fighting against one another and has much less support base. Unlike Naxal’s area of operation, NE presents a relatively small theatre. The heavy concentration of IA will also give much less room to NE rebels to maneuver. Either they will run to Bruma or to BD. They can at best be a nuisance to IA in the event of Indo-Sino conflict.
You read news all right, but I doubt if you can make any sense of it.
Yes Nuisance,and in times of war if they are supplied well by the Chinese,they can become a "very irritating nuisance".
Firstly where did you get 40 Km stretch, unless you are referring to the Chinese chicken neck between Sikkim and Bhutan. Secondly, although on map, Bhutan looks like a flat land with wriggly lines, it actually is mountainous terrain. Pray tell how would the ‘mighty’ Chinese cross 40 Km of mountainous terrain in matter of hours. Thirdly, if the Chinese are idiot enough to attack India by first crossing Bhutan, they would loose the element of surprise and give plenty of time to IA to take defensive measures.
Firstly,your pathetic attempt at humour that China is next to Allah,was in very bad taste.Jeta ke bole bikrito ruchi.
I hope you reconsider that.
Regarding use of adjectives,I termed both countries as Giants,why didn't you ridicule that too?Ah yes,because it makes India sound very important,how can you ridicule it,right?
Now on the topic,
I am mentioning about this:
Between Bangladesh and Nepal or between Bangladesh and Bhutan.That's not more than 40km,as far as I know.And that is mostly plain land,not mountainous.I said capturing that within hours.I did not say the entire operation would take hours.You can go back and check instead of distorting.
And are you into the belief that Chinese or any other opposition will only attack only in one straight formation?
Does the idea of Flanking ring any bells?
Do they need to sweep entire NE first to choke those points,as you are claiming?
Pray tell how China will establish complete air superiority over NE, operating mostly out of the heights of Tibet which restricts an aircraft to carry full load - either reduced fire power or reduced range. By numbers you say? Then do elaborate how many assets can they devote to India while maintaining adequate level of deterrence against Japan and US. Then elaborate if China is capable enough to maintain such a constant and steady aerial supply from Tibet, even if air superiority is acheived.
In fact one of the thoughts behind not developing the border area was based on a lesson learnt in 1962. Bad infrastructure slows down the speed of advance, and if IA can hold strategic points the Chinese advance can actually be choked to death right on its heels.
You had to contrive a completely unrealistic fantastical situation to highlight the importance of BD in a Indo-Sino conflict. It has that ‘false feeling of importance’ written all over it.
For the bold part,
How many assets can India afford to remove from the Western frontier?It is important to know because a Sino-Indo war will see Pakistani troops massing on the indo-Pak border.
Also keep in mind Chinese defence expenditure in 3 times that of India's.
Bad infrastructure slows down speed of advance,but it also slows down speed of reinforcement,In case your first line of defence is broken.
Now exactly how do you plan to Choke the Chinese?How do you know they have not planned any countermeasure for that bad infrastructure.May be another route or whatever.Please elaborate,since I am having to plan the entire Indian invasion for the Chinese.That too in a Hypothetical discussion.
Don't be shy,if an armchair General like me can construct a plan to invade India,so can you to
"Choke them to death".
Even hypothesis should be based on reality. Just because it is hypothesis I am not going to involve the Plutonions.
Seeing it coming from a person who is convinced that the Chinese can walk right into Delhi, I am not surprised
In order to capture entire NE and then cut off the chicken neck, you have narrated a strategy that would require the Chinese to do things no one has ever done before - attack another country first, then cross mountainous terrain at a phenomenal speed, achieve complete air superiority, and then continuously maintain aerial supply to a massive frontline. Your strategy itself makes it clear that taking over entire NE is anything but a piece of cake and yet you are convinced that the Chinese would walk right into Delhi. That’s why it is ridiculous.
Achieving air superiority can also be done through destroying Air fields and aircrafts on the ground using cruise missiles.Now you got to give that to the Chinese,they got
better and more missiles in their arsenal.
Since my Hypothesis is based on China attacking first,then simultaneous cruise missile attacks on NE air bases,followed by air strikes can very well do the job of reducing IAF capability.It has the surprise element too.
For the bold part,
When Blitzkrieg happened,Germany did it for the first time when no other country has ever done before.Were they ineffective?
You Know the Maginot line,it was supposed to be impenetrable or that sort.
You know the answer.
BTW German army at that time still used horse carts for supply,I just hope Chinese have a better mode of transport.
And regarding Hypothesis to be based on reality,
Did I say Bangladesh will cut off Indian chicken neck and NE India?Now that is ridiculous.
When some Indian general say they can take care of China and Pakistan simultaneously within days,
that is ridiculous.Or are you an ardent believer of that theory?
China can cut off India's Chicken neck,and that's not absurd.
Its a possibility and
we are talking about possibility.You don't even want to believe that because your Ultra nationalistic mind is not allowing you to.
In order to capture entire NE and then cut off the chicken neck
You are distorting my words over and over again.I said the attack would be first targetted on the Chicken neck to block off reinforcement from rest of India.And other wings will perhaps simultaneously attack the defence establishments in rest of NE.
This has completely different meaning than what you wrote there.
Don't distort my words to your advantage.
