Excerpt from "The Sword of Bharat: History of the Imperial Army 1900-2000", Imperial Publications, Mumbai , 2003

"The Bharati Army took advantage of the opportunities presented by the Baluchistani Operation and the Persian Civil War to observe the effectiveness and utility of their new weapons and other materiel, organization, and tactics in combat operations and a number of improvements were found necessary.

Materiel:

Among the infantry weapons, the Bhandara 1929 machine gun was found to be subject to stoppages in rugged field use and the use of a twenty round detachable magazine made difficult to achieve concentrated substained fire. Research on a new machine gun was accelerated, examples of the German MG33 were obtained for further examination. The higher rate of fire of the MG33 machine gun and being belt-fed were considered significant advantages to seek a license for the weapon.

The effort expended by Bharat in the development of artillery of all types was found to be justified. According to Colonel Rajput, operations officer for Kureekkal, the Baluchi themselves testified to the effectiveness of the Bharati artillery fire on the attacks on Quetta. The defenders had received warning of air attacks with the appearance of Bharati aircraft and the bombing had been of limited duration. The sustained artillery fire, however, wore down the resistance of the garrison of Quetta.

The 90mm antiaircraft gun was found to be especially effective in engaging bunkers and prepared fortifications. The Bharati Relief Assemblage made reference to this in attacking the Persian fortifications at Sirhan and Kerman. According to the Bharati Assemblage account, the gun could penetrate the walls of bunkers and buildings reinforced as strong points.

The Bharati Sher and Gaada tanks were found to be unsatisfactory in operations, and the newer Ajgar III armored car were useful only for reconnaissance. This served to confirm the belief than the older tanks should be replaced by newer models. The armored Jagganathas henceforth started to be equipped with Argun B's and C's as fast as possible. The heavier of the two, the Argun C, was singled out by General Singh as a highly effective cruiser tank to be produced in quantity. The Sher tanks were either scrapped or used for training, and eventually the Gaada tank chasis were utilized as gun-platforms for the self propelled gun units organized for assault operations. Studies began for a replacement of the Ajgar III armored car. In general, the supply of spare parts and system of maintenance for tanks was found to be inadequate for the needs of the tanks in combat. Is ironic that the well organized tank maintenance units assigned to the Chinese Group Dragon were used as the model for the development of combat maintenance units.

Organization:
Singh recommended that battalion and regimental headquarters of mechanized units should be located farther forward to direct the battle. Headquarters should be more mobile, restricted to a few armored vehicles, and well equipped with radio communications. He also recommended better communications with the supply columns and trains of the mechanized and motorised units.

The cavalry brigades were found to have little staying power in sustained operations in Persia. This was considered to be the nature of the fighting in Persia, where the small cavalry brigades were asked to fill roles hardly suitable for them. No changes were made at the time but studies were started to find a more balanced unit.

The need for the development of an unit fast enought to be capable to follow the mechanized divisions and deal with enemy strongpoints bypassed by the Mechanized forces was recognized. The General Staff began studies for the development and organization of such units, later named motorized divisions.

Excerpt from "The Sword of Bharat: History of the Imperial Army 1900-2000", Imperial Publications, Mumbai , 2003

Equipment:

Some infantry commanders complained of the awkward and heavy packs carried by the soldiers, recommending changes to permit the individual soldier greater freedom of action and comfort. One commander recommended the carrying of machine gun ammunition by the ammunition carriers of the gun crews in containers similar to those used by the mortar crews, in a special pack carried on the back rather than in the magazine jacket that carried the magazines for the machine gun on the front. It was noted the difficulty to reload the gun by the machine gun guner when laying on the prone. (1) In addtion a special grenade sack was recommended for the soldier. It was also requested that one rifleman in the infantry squad be provided with a telescopic sight to permit accurate fire on small or more distant targets.

The Bharati Relief Assemblage prepared a report on its experiences illustrated a number of the small oversights that added to the problems to the commanders of lower units. The 47th Infantry Division was a Model 36 division, a second wave division expected to be used in defensive operations and as reinforcement to the Model 33 Divisions. The training of the machine gunners was on the older Bhandara 1919 machine gun. When they were mobilized for duty on the Persian Civil War they received Bhandara 1929 and many did not know how to operate and perform operational maintenance in the newer gun. Another oversight was the supply of horseshoes, made to the size ommon to military horses but far too small for the splayed hooves of the requisitioned horses acquired at arrival to Persia.

Training and tactics:

The infantry tactics of the Bharati Army were critized by Kureekkal, who felt that too much was sacrificed to caution. This may seen somewhat contradictory, in view of the victories against the Baluchis and Persians. Kureekkal actually had referenced to the frequent delays incurred when artillery had to be brought forward to the support of infantry units. Kureekkal expressed the opinion that in the more fluid mechanzied operations time was the essence and stopping to wait for the artillery to catch up was unacceptable. He recommended the development of more self propelled artillery and of motorized infantry, allowing the mechanized forces to continue their advance without delays.

Kureekkal further felt that the Bharati infantry training directives were obsolete and verbose. He was of the opinion that these regulations must be shortened and should stress the mission and aggressive action to accomplish it. Brief and pertinent regulations should be easier to remember and would impress on the soldiers of all levels, from officer to private, the all-important task he was about to perform in combat with minimum distractions.

Another characteristic of warfare in the region as learned by our forces was the considerable guerilla activity in rear areas. As a consequence, it was recommended by a number of commanders that supply trains, workshops and other rear installations be better equipped with weapons, particularly automatic weapons, with support personnel trained to their use. Also it was recommended that some of the old Sher tanks and armored cars been kept to help in the portection of those installations.

The successful night attacks of the mountain division during the Baluchi campaign made a considerable impression on the General Staff. Although already aware of the advantage of moving by night, a devide they used repeatedly, the Bharati Army did not fully appreciated the potentialities of attacking under cover of darkness. Training was started to ensure infantry units could launch effective attacks at night on all levels.

Air Support:

The BVS (Imperial Air Service) and the BNS naval aviaition succeeded in proving its offensive power as an attack weapon. The BVS demonstrated its capabilities in isolating the Baluchi front by bombing bridges and rail lines, and preventing the movement of supplies and troops by strafing columns on the roads in both the Baluchi and Persian campaign. The BVS also rendered material assistance to the advancing mechanized columns and dive bombed Persian fortifications prior to attack by the ground forces.




(1) This recommendation was not implemented due to the approval to produce and issue a copy of the German MG33 into service, the Bhandara 1942.

2nd Infantry Division, circa 1942

The lessons of the last years of the 1930's showed the Bharati General Staff the need of units capable to follow on a timely manner and able to defeat units bypassed by the Mechanized troops as being an important priority. Twice during the Persian Civil War the Mechanized forces pierced the enemy lines only to have to slow down to allow other units to catch up with them.

As such a new Division entered service in 1942, the Motorized Division. The organization was novel, three independent rifle brigades fully motorized capable of independent operations but under the umbrella of a small divisional headquarters. Each brigade was composed of three infantry battalions supported by their own artillery, communications, armored car, antitank and support elements. They were the first units to be issued the new heavy 120mm mortar. Each Brigade was composed of

3232 men
1154 x SMG
155 machineguns
9 x 25mm AA guns
30 x 81mm mortars
6 x 120mm mortars
8 x 50mm AT gun
4 x 90mm AT gun
12 x 75mm self propelled guns
16 x Ajgar IV armored cars
333 x Skoda trucks
13 x motorcyles.

In addition a small divisional headquarters composed of 100 additional men with trucks and scout cars plus a fully motorized repair detachment composed of 478 men was attached to the Division.

17th Independent Brigades, circa 1941

The Persian Civil War demonstrated the need importance of the anti-tank gun on the defensive and the offensive. As such the Bharati General Staff develop specialised units to protect flanks in the offensive and create fire-pockets in the defensive.

The Independent Brigades were rushed into service late in 1941. Each brigade was composed of one self-propelled anti-tank regiment, one towed anti-tank regiment, one mine-sapper battalion, one heavy armored car battalion, one AA company, one engineer-obstruction company, one repair and reconstruction company, one tranport company and additional support elements. The Brigades were composed of

2130 men
231 x SMG
32 machineguns
9 x 25mm AA guns
48 x 50mm SP AT gun
24 x 50mm AT gun
12 x 90mm AT gun
12 x 105mm AT gun
32 x Ajgar IV armored cars
4800 x AT mines
278 x Skoda trucks
13 x motorcyles.

Notes: The “C” first began to reach the Armoured Corps units by late 1938, with the units of the Armored Brigades being the first to receive the new. The vehicles were based on an enlarged Argun with a larger turret which had room to mount a modified copy of the 90mm antiaircraft gun. The new main armament was developed to allow a reasonable combat overmatch against possible foes’ designs until the current trends could be studied to develop a replacement tank. The vehicles were also the first vehicles to receive the complex sloped armor the that gave the “C’s” it’s exceptional ballistic resistance along the frontal arc.

Another problem that arose was insufficient engine power; the project was held up for almost an entire year as the Armour Board sought the ideal engine for the Argun C. In large part this was due to the weight increase from the Argun B 28 tons to the C 36 tons with no corresponding increase in engine power and the desire to increase the mobility of the vehicle. The problem was finally resolved when the Avati Works engineers finally perfected the Tiger V12 diesel engine, on the design table for close to five years; that produced 720hp, compared with the 460hp of the Lion engine, giving the C’s a horsepower/ton ratio of close to 13 per.

Still the heavier gun’s turret, that barely fit the vehicles’ ring, pushed the weight to a weight limit that caused stress on the vehicle’s transmissions but still it was well liked due to speed and power of main armament. Originally one Jagganatha per Brigade received the new tank, the rest of the vehicles staying as Arguns B Types but it was later changed to two companies per Jagganatha during Persian Civil War.
