Dominate South Asia

Chapter 339: Crossing the Border

The First Armored Division has the number one number, which also shows the importance of this armored division. Therefore, when Pakistan began to assemble Leopard 2 tanks, this armored division began to gradually replace it with Leopard 2 tanks.

Because it is on the front line of the fight against India, Pakistan's armored divisions have a highly integrated organizational structure, strong independent combat capabilities, and can carry out a variety of combat missions.

The 1st Armored Division consists of 3 armored brigades, 1 motorized infantry brigade, 1 artillery brigade and 1 armored reconnaissance regiment, as well as other combat support and combat service support arms. The division has a total of 365 main battle tanks, including 200 Leopard 2 tanks, 255 armored personnel carriers, all American M113 armored vehicles, 117 recoilless rifles, 72 large-caliber artillery pieces, 24 various anti-aircraft guns, and forced There were 66 artillery pieces and 2,046 other logistics vehicles.

The 3rd Independent Armored Brigade was the first unit to trial-install Leopard 2 tanks. It is equipped with 152 main battle tanks, including 50 Leopard 2 tanks, 86 armored personnel carriers, 42 recoilless guns, and 716 other vehicles.

These two mechanized armored forces had very powerful assault capabilities. After receiving Mhamad's order, they began to dispatch quickly.

The Steyr tractor was roaring, and on the trailer behind it, the Leopard 2 tank was covered under a camouflage net. Since Multan was still some distance from the border, they needed to maneuver along the road into the Thar Desert. .

Tanks are fuel-hungry monsters, so in China, they are transported by trailers, which is faster and more efficient.

The convoy lined up for a long time on the road. When the front had reached Bahawalpur, the convoy behind had just left the city.

It was getting dark slowly, and the convoy was driving on a desert road. There was endless yellow desert on both sides, which is called the Thar Desert. The opposite side is called the Indian Desert.

Last time, the Indians mobilized armored troops in the desert opposite and prepared to attack across the desert. Unfortunately, the Indians did not do a good job of keeping secrets at the time. Their troops were discovered by the reconnaissance satellites overhead, which attracted the attention of Pakistan. Air strike.

But this time, Pakistan used the same method. To sneak attack the opponent.

When the convoy drove into the desert, fifty kilometers away from the border, it stopped.

The pallet at the rear of the trailer was lowered, and the Pakistani armored soldiers got off the front of the vehicle and got into the tank.

"Boom, boom, boom." The 1,500-horsepower engine emitted a puff of black smoke, the vehicle body vibrated regularly, and the tank shifted into reverse gear. Slowly drive down from the trailer, and immediately drive into the desert next to you after getting off the car. To assemble.

Soon, an armored brigade was assembled. In the desert, they looked east, where there was a sworn enemy. The battle had been going on since the founding of their country.

"President Hamad ordered. From now on, we will cross the border, remove all obstacles on the way forward, and go straight to New Delhi!" Brigadier Burkhari said loudly: "Victory will always belong to us! Now, I order, We start attacking immediately!"

"yes!"

The Pakistani armored soldiers got into their tanks, and one hundred Leopard 2 tanks rumbled away. Followed by the M113 infantry fighting vehicle. In the desert, the tracks stirred up high yellow sand. They used infrared imaging devices to follow the tank in front. Keep pushing forward.

Soon, we reached the national border. The national boundary line in the desert is just a boundary marker, and due to wind and sand, the boundary marker is often covered by wind and sand. Only patrolling soldiers patrol along the national boundary line every day, and large areas are unmanned at night.

Just like that, when the Leopard 2 tanks came over, it was still quiet here. No one noticed that a powerful armored force had kicked open the door of India.

The 1st Armored Division attacked from the south and took the desert area, while the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade and the 21st Independent Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Lahore took the road!

Walking dozens of kilometers from Lahore, you will find Amritsar opposite. This is a small border town in India. There is also an air force base. However, in the previous wars, this small air force base has been completely destroyed. Destroyed.

The Leopard 2 tank moved along the road and rushed directly to the national border. The Indian border guards guarding the opposite side suddenly became highly nervous.

"Boom!" The Leopard 2 tank's muzzle spit out a tongue of fire, and a grenade flew out, directly lifting the opposite post into the sky.

The Indian border guards looked at the aggressive Pakistani army and surrendered directly without any resistance. Such an attack by a large force was simply not something they could resist.

Leopard 2 was in the lead, with 59 tanks at the back, followed by M113 infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery... This armored force advanced along the road at top speed.

Following them were the armored vehicles of the mechanized infantry brigade.

Amritsar is home to India's 15th Infantry Division. At this time, the entire division was asleep. When the tanks came over, they surrounded the entire infantry division's camp.

The fierce artillery attack threw the Indian infantry division into panic. They woke up from their sleep and found that their camp had been surrounded by the Pakistani army. They did not even have bullets in their hands, and the live ammunition was still in the warehouse. It was locked inside, so if they didn't want to die, they had no choice but to surrender.

The surrendered troops were handed over to the mechanized infantry brigade behind, and the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade continued to advance.

The flat road made the tanks very fast. When the news reached New Delhi, the Pakistani army had crossed Jalandhar and was advancing towards Ludhiana.

At this time, it was still dark.

Rajiv was woken up in his sleep. Ever since he made the decision to go to war, Rajiv began to regret, and this regret gradually became a reality.

The navy was completely wiped out, leaving only the aircraft carriers and the long-distance advancing armored divisions. They started with good momentum, but after advancing to the Indus River, everything changed. These two armored divisions were unable to move forward any further and were delayed for several days. After that, the situation worsened, and now, they are surrounded near Thatta and it is difficult to break out.

The heroic action of the Air Force and the bombing of Pakistan's Karachi military port allowed Rajiv to have an explanation to the people. However, after losing so many fighter planes, Rajiv would not be happy anyway.

It wasn't until two or three o'clock last night that Rajiv came out of the Ministry of Defense and returned to the Prime Minister's Office to take a nap for a while. He didn't take off his clothes. He had been like this for the past few days. But now, after just two hours of sleep, he was taken off again. Wake up.

An emergency came from the front line. The Pakistani armored troops stationed in Lahore had crossed the national border and were advancing along the highway!

When Rajiv returned to the office, the generals who had also just arrived had already started arguing.

After not much rest for several days, everyone's eyes were red, and they were arguing over the large-scale map hanging.

"The Pakistanis' goal is Ludhiana. They want to knock down our big city!" General Ashok K. Mehta said looking at the map.

"I think they not only want to attack Ludhiana, but also want to attack Chandigarh. They want to take all areas in our northwest, including Kashmir, into their territory." K-Sundar General Ji said it was even more dangerous.

"Impossible!" Another voice said: "These areas are different from the Kashmir Valley. There are Islamic believers in the Kashmir Valley, and most of these lands are our Hindu believers. Even if Pakistan dares to occupy this place, they will not There is no way to maintain peace here. They must have other motives!”

Everyone was talking about it until Rajiv came in. Their quarrel did not end, but the voices became louder and louder, as if whoever had the louder voice represented the truth.

Rajiv frowned. If these idiots had half the brains of Mhammad, India would not be in such a mess now!

"What matters to us now is how to deal with the invasion of the Pakistani army." Rajiv said: "How many invading troops are there in total?"

"They dispatched fast armored forces. In Lahore, there was only one armored brigade with such a speed of advancement. Therefore, we can confirm that the opponent has the strength of an armored brigade, but we cannot guarantee whether there will be more in the future. More troops are coming in," Sundarji said to Rajiv.

"How can we scare you like this with just one armored brigade?" Rajiv said, "Show us the courage of our big country! What troops are there nearby?"

"Our main force is in Kashmir, where there are the 14th Army and the 15th Army. However, if we mobilize the troops there, we may fall into Pakistan's trick. Pakistan has occupied the Kashmir Valley and deployed a large number of troops there. Army, if we mobilize the troops there, we are afraid that Pakistan will take advantage of the situation and continue to advance," Sundarji continued.

Kashmir is a disputed area between India and Pakistan. Both sides have always deployed heavy troops here and are ready to fight at any time. India's Northern Command and two armies are deployed here. However, the troops here are either mountain divisions or infantry divisions, which are good at For mountain warfare, the maneuverability is not strong, so it is not suitable for plain fighting here.

India has only three armored divisions in total. In these battles, one armored division was first killed in its own desert area. Then, the two strongest armored divisions were surrounded by the Pakistani army in the Thatta area. Indiscriminate bombing has unpredictable consequences.

"Are there other troops nearby?" Rajiv continued to ask.

No one spoke. (To be continued ~^~)
