Dominate South Asia

For the 72nd Infantry Brigade of the Indian Border Guard, this night is their doom.

Because of the enclave dispute, there was tension on the border here, and even a large-scale war was triggered at one time, but in the end, the enclave issue was finally resolved, and the armored forces that had been mobilized also went back.

After all, for the current Indian army, the important target to guard is still New Delhi, which is their capital and the heart of India. If New Delhi is captured by Pakistan again, India will lose its last fig leaf.

There is only one infantry brigade here, guarding the border with Bangladesh in the west. During the day, they can stand guard and patrol, and at night, they almost always go back to the barracks to sleep.

Before going to bed, they will comment on the current situation and how the Middle East is, and then get into the mosquito net while laughing at Iraq. It is summer here, and the climate is not very hot, but it is very stuffy, a little humid, and there are many mosquitoes.

When the shells flew over, the entire border defense force was almost asleep, and the whistling shells outside did not wake them up.

"Boom!" A 155mm grenade fell into the military camp and exploded. In an instant, the air wave overturned the barracks, and the flying shrapnel was blown everywhere, and a large hole more than one meter deep appeared on the ground.

The people in the surrounding barracks woke up instantly. When they sat up, they didn't realize what happened. Then, there was the sound of sharp shells flying.

"Run, it's a shell!" The smart ones have already reacted. At this time, staying in the barracks is the most dangerous. Hurry up and run to the air-raid shelter!

However, as soon as the voice fell, there was another huge explosion. The unlucky guy just ran out of the door and had close contact with a flying shrapnel. His body was instantly torn apart and blood splattered.

"Boom, boom!" The explosions continued, and the terrible rocket shells flew over! This place instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The terrible thing about rocket launchers. It is a huge killing power over a large area. The area covered by rocket launchers is a sea of ​​death!

The outposts and fortifications on the border were turned into ruins by the fierce bombardment.

When the bombardment was over, there were broken limbs everywhere. Only a few soldiers survived this terrible storm.

However, the ground under their bodies has begun to tremble.

It was like an earthquake. The shaking ground made them tremble, the armored cluster. This is the movement of an armored division-sized army attack!

The veterans who have fought several India-Pakistan wars were pale.

A Pakistani Leopard 2 tank has rumbled up. As soon as the bombardment stopped, the armored forces started. At this time, the thermal images of those who are still alive can be seen in the night vision goggles.

"Da da. Da da da." The tank's parallel machine gun opened fire, and those who were not dead were strafed by the tank's machine gun.

Soon, the scene calmed down again.

More tanks rolled directly through the ruins, and the rolling armored torrent continued to move forward.

Kolkata, the headquarters of the Eastern Military District of India.

The Indian Army is also divided into military districts. Later India had a total of 6 military districts. Among them, the Northern Military District Command is located in Udhampur, Indian-occupied Kashmir, with 3 armies under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the northern section of the India-Pakistan border in Kashmir and the western section of the India-China border; the Western Military District Command is located in Chandigarh, with 3 armies under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and northern Rajasthan; the Eastern Military District Command is located in Kolkata. It has 3 armies under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the India-Bangladesh border area, the India-Myanmar border area and the eastern section of the India-China border; the Central Military District Command is located in Lucknow. It has 1 army under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the central states and the central Himalayan border area, and serves as a reserve for the eastern and western theaters; the Southern Military District Command is located in Pune, with 2 armies under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the southern section of the India-Pakistan border. Until 2005, India established the Southwestern Military Region, whose headquarters is located in Jaipur. It has two armies under its jurisdiction, and its defense zone covers the important area from Fazilka in Punjab to Ganganagar and Bikaner counties in Rajasthan.

Now, with Pakistan's victory in a series of wars against India, the Kashmir region has been in name only, and the focus of defense is on the western region. Therefore, although the Eastern Military Region still has three armies, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Thirty-third Army, in fact, the tanks and armored vehicles equipped in these armies have been packed together with the armored troops in the previous wars and consumed on the western front. The long border is full of lightly armed infantry.

These armies are good at positional warfare, but they can't compete with armored forces in the field. Moreover, as veterans are withdrawn, many of them are recruits recruited in the past one or two years. They are not properly trained and have no combat experience and courage.

When a large-scale exchange of fire broke out in the east and Pakistan's armored forces advanced from the east, a staff officer who stayed behind in the headquarters in Kolkata received the news and his face turned pale.

If he was conscientious in his duties, he should immediately wake up the commander of the Eastern Military Region and the staff officers to discuss countermeasures together, and then mobilize other troops to encircle and intercept the invading armored forces, block them at the border, and continue to fight and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, he did not do so. In recent years, India has been suppressed by Pakistan. The confidence of the Indian army has been reduced to the lowest point, and they all know that they can't resist the attack of Pakistan's army.

Rather than being cannon fodder in the battle, it is better to retreat quickly! So, after hanging up the phone, the staff officer ran downstairs almost without stopping, jumped into an Indian-made Tata car, and ran back to Calcutta at lightning speed, calling his wife and children, embarking on the journey of escape.

On the phone, he heard the deafening sound of artillery. Once the war started, the whole of Kolkata would become a ruin. At this time, his wife and children were more important.

He didn't know that because of his own cowardice, Kolkata fell quickly and the situation in the entire eastern part of India was instantly corrupted.

Pakistan's First Armored Division was advancing rapidly. At three o'clock, it captured a bridge on a river in the east of Kolkata, which was the only way to Kolkata.

However, only one bridge obviously cannot allow the armored troops to pass quickly. After observing the depth and flow rate of the river, the armored troops on the front line decided to build a floating bridge directly!

Several bridge-building equipment were moving quickly, and soon several new bridges were quickly built. Tanks rumbled over.

As for the infantry fighting vehicles accompanying the armored troops, such as Pakistan's own wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and the American-made M113 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, they all have the ability to float on water and drive directly over the river.

One by one, the equipment passed quickly from the river mouth, and at the same time, a rumbling sound sounded above their heads.

One after another, armed helicopters, loaded with bombs, headed for the airport outside Kolkata.

These armed helicopters are professional armed helicopters produced by Pakistan! The angular appearance, the unique cockpit, and the bombs under the short wings on both sides are highly similar to the South African kestrel.

After several years of development, Pakistan's "self-developed" armed helicopter has finally matured! It has begun to equip the army in large quantities. In the past, the Americans wanted to use Apache helicopters to hold Pakistan back and make Pakistan agree to certain conditions, but now Pakistan no longer needs them.

Following the armed helicopters, there are more than 20 Black Hawk helicopters, which transport combat teams and will quickly arrive at the airport to control key departments while waiting for the arrival of their own heavy troops.

This is a busy night!

When the city of Kolkata appeared in front of us, the east was already showing white, and Pakistan's armored forces came all the way, just like entering no man's land!

A tank battalion of an armored brigade of the First Armored Division drove to the Kolkata Airport. When they arrived, the battle on the scene was over. The commander of Unit A was sitting on a captured Type 59 tank, waiting for the arrival of this armored force.

The attack was too sudden. When they landed in the airport terminal, on the runway and on the hangar, they did not encounter any resistance from the Indians. When the armed helicopters began to attack military targets, the Indians ran away.

This is a dual-use military and civilian airport. In addition to a few civil aircraft on the runway, this airport only has old MiG-21 aircraft. Looking at those antiques, the commander of Unit A has no interest.

The harvest is too little!

They don’t know that the other troops have gained a lot!

Kolkata Port.

This is a dual-use military and civilian port, a major base of the Indian East Coast Fleet. It was not until dawn that the news of Pakistan’s invasion came, and the naval officers and soldiers in this port were immediately panicked.

Next to the dock, an aircraft carrier with a direct deck and a runway in front, with thick smoke billowing from the chimney, is taking the first step of sailing, starting a fire! Heating the boiler!

This aircraft carrier is the pride of the Indian Navy. It is a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier that was commissioned in 1986. It is the Viraat! This is a meritorious old ship that participated in the Falklands War! The carrier-based aircraft on it are also the newly introduced Sea Harriers! (To be continued ~^~)
