The key point is that after making adjustments, there is indeed no need to forcefully attack Jodhpur, or rather, there's no rush.
The Seventeenth Armored Division rushed too fast, which might disrupt the strategic deployment, making it counterproductive.
According to the adjusted deployment, the assault force of the Seventeenth Armored Division reached the outskirts of Jodhpur on December 3rd and completed the encirclement two days later.
Speaking of encirclement, they only controlled the main traffic arteries, which wasn't tight.
What followed was a long and sustained artillery strike.
By December 10th, the artillery strike reached its peak.
Sure enough, the artillery stationed in Deogarh joined in at this time.
In the previous days, the artillery in Deogarh mainly supported the Fifth Marine Corps in annihilating the Southern Cluster, as the Marines occupied Deogarh.
Those more than 20 long-range rocket artillery proved crucial.
