It is evident that, even if it is necessary to strengthen the defense deployment towards Kota and Agra, the troops can only be diverted from other directions, namely the southern battlefield.
Undoubtedly, this is also the reason why Digalla is targeting the Southern Faction at this time.
If it were any later, it might be too late.
The key point is, when making this decision, Digalla definitely knows that as the Fan Army strengthens its defenses towards Kota, there is a great possibility that the Fifth Marine Division coming from the west will turn south, sweep Gujarat, and advance to Mumbai when the time is ripe.
Moreover, the Fifth Marine Division might advance inland along the Narmada River on its way south.
