Recently I explained how Indian Navy can single handedly block China in Indian Ocean. If you talk about defeating China in land battle, It is possible.
How? Let’s see!
1. Tibet’s leader Dalai Lama is in India. China still does not trust Tibetans. Divided Tibet in some parts 1/n
before.
2. See this map. Tibet shares boundary with India. Other provinces are Yunnan & Xinjiang.
3. Much of Chinese population resides in Eastern part. Thousands of km away from India. Because Western part is impossible to settle in. High peaks & difficult terrain. 2/n
4. To supply Chinese Army on Indian border, they have to open a supply line. If they open in Tibet, a huge part of their army will be used to secure just the supply line because of distrust.
5. India can manipulate Tibetans to carry out attacks to disrupt the supply lines 3/n
6. So, China will not take that risk. Anyway it is difficult to do such a thing on Tibetan heights. So 2 options.
7. Xinjiang- here live Uyghers who have been attacked by Chinese forces in recent times. So another group which can disrupt Chinese war efforts. Some money to 4/n
Uyghers by India & job is done. Half of PLA will be busy keeping lines secure.
8. Other option Yunnan- here china has Railway Tracks & everything it needs but from here to Laddakh or Arunachal, a railway track or road of 2-3 thousand km will be there.
9. 1 successful air 5/n
strike by India on this supply route will trap thousands of Chinese soldiers without any proper supply line. Exhausted, they will be taken prisoners by Indian side.
10. India has no problem like that. Very high population & fully secured supply lines from Kashmir to 6/n
Arunachal. 2-3 days are enough to mobilise a large army to heights.
11. To surprise Chinese troops, Indians can even lift battle tanks to such terrain.
12. Some losses will be incurred but a great lesson will be taught directly to China. They will lose their rapport in 7/n
world. Too much to lose.
13. Can even lose their efforts in South China sea which they are capturing.
Few good strategists can win a war.
