Dominate South Asia

In yesterday's air battle, Pakistani fighter jets once again fought with Soviet Air Force fighter jets and successfully shot down dozens of Soviet Air Force fighter jets, including those bombers, protecting the sky in northern Afghanistan. At this time, Only then did the Soviet Air Force realize that Mhammad had deceived them once, and Pakistan's Tomcat fighter fleet was unscathed!

At the same time, Marshal Akhromeev seemed like a gambler who had lost his bet. Unwilling to fail, he once again mobilized fighter planes from Eastern Europe in an attempt to seize air supremacy in northern Afghanistan. At the same time, a ground war also broke out in northern Afghanistan.

The flood killed 20,000 Soviet people. The Forty Army went completely crazy. They got into the mountains and began to fight with the Afghan Free Army. They were very sharp. In order to avoid falling into a frontal battle with the powerful Soviet army, the Afghan Free Army They began to retreat step by step in a planned way, retreating deeper into the mountains and forests.

And now, just when everyone's attention is focused on northern Afghanistan, unfavorable news has once again come from the southeast corner of Pakistan.

The Indians suddenly crossed the swamp and appeared there. They advanced rapidly along the road. Judging from their marching route, their goal was Karachi!

Karachi is Pakistan's military port. If the Indians capture Karachi, the Indians will be equivalent to controlling Pakistan's economic lifeline. After all, maritime trade is related to Pakistan's future.

The Indians have become smarter this time and actually thought of attacking from there! But, how can they transport their supplies through the swamp? Logistics is not just fuel, food, and ammunition. The 125mm artillery shells used by their T-72 tanks can never be captured from their own side and can only be obtained through logistical transportation.

"We cannot hesitate any longer." Mushaaf said: "President, we must mobilize our tank troops and move over quickly to intercept the Indian armored troops and keep them on the periphery of Karachi. If they are allowed to enter Karachi, they will be It will cause significant damage to our military base.”

There is not only a military port there, but also a shipyard. Pakistan's own aircraft carrier is currently being refitted there. If the Indians take it over, a lot of the equipment in the port will be destroyed in the war, and Pakistan will have to spend a lot of money. money for repairs.

"Yes, we need to stop them." Mhamad said: "Here in Thatta, on the west bank of the Indus River. We set up the first line of defense."

The Indus River is not in India, but is the most important river in Pakistan. Pakistan's irrigation and agricultural production almost all depend on this river.

The Indus River flows into the sea about a hundred kilometers east of Karachi. Thatta is a city near the mouth of the sea, located on the Indus River Delta.

The ever-flowing Indus River is like the blood vessel of Pakistan. The ancient city of Thatta at the mouth of the Indus River is the seed of Pakistan. In the 8th century AD, Muslims from the Middle East set foot on the land of South Asia from here and built the first mosque on the South Asian subcontinent. From here, Islam spread to the entire South Asia.

This is a famous ancient city in Pakistan. There are many ancient buildings in it, and it is also a popular place for tourists.

Now, the place will be covered in flames of war again. Everyone was not in a good mood.

"Our garrison in Karachi will not be dispatched very quickly. They are now in a state of preparation for war. The tanks are replenishing ammunition within an hour. I am afraid that they will not be able to dispatch. They must reach the Indus River within two hours. Only by reaching the Indus River can we stop India. The army, and our tanks, cannot travel these 100 kilometers in one hour.

From Karachi to the Indus River, there is a distance of nearly one hundred kilometers. Even if the tank maneuvers at its maximum speed on the road, it can only reach 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. However, the Indian armored forces on the opposite side are advancing rapidly and can cross the Indus River in two hours.

"Dispatch our F-16 fighters and A-7 attack aircraft and blow them up on the road." Air Force Commander Arslan said.

"The Indians are fully prepared. As soon as our attack planes take off, their fighter planes will also take off to seize air supremacy with us. If our fighter planes are mounted on the ground, they will fall into their trap." Muha. Mader said: "We need to deploy twenty to forty Tomcat fighters to have a sufficient advantage. Now, we have to focus on dealing with the Soviets and cannot deploy too many for the time being."

As long as our fighter jets take off, they will definitely follow. However, we can only postpone this action for the time being and let the Indians be rampant for a few more days.

Of course, it is only a few days. In these two days, after the Pakistan Air Force has violently tortured the Soviet Air Force, it will use its full strength to deal with the Indian Air Force.

"Then what do we do?" Mushaaf asked.

"Deploy Troop A, parachute to the west of the Indus River, prevent the Indian armored forces from crossing the river, and hold on for an hour, waiting for the armored forces of Karachi's 5th Army to arrive." Mhammad said.

Karachi is an important port in Pakistan. Here, Pakistan has stationed an army. The 5th Army has two armored brigades, all of which are in Karachi.

"Should we dispatch the armored forces in Multan?" Mushaaf asked: "The armored forces there have been equipped with new Leopard 2 tanks, which have a complete advantage over Indian tanks."

"No." Mhammad said, "I have other uses for the troops there."

Although Karachi's tank brigade is still 59 tanks, it has been equipped with advanced fire control and night vision systems and uses 120mm tank guns, which is also advantageous against the Indian monkey version of T-72.

Moreover, it can only resist for one or two days. After one or two days, as long as the air force recovers, it can free up its hands to solve it.

The decisive battle between tanks and tanks should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago. The best way to deal with tanks is the planes above!

"Time delay is not good for us." Mushaaf said: "The Indian armored forces will come continuously, and their navy will also appear on the outskirts of Karachi, trying to conquer it in one fell swoop. We only have one army, and I am afraid we can't resist the Indian offensive momentum."

"Karachi is a bait." Muhammad said: "A bait that makes the Indians go all out. When they continue to mobilize their forces and try to seize Karachi, the interior will be empty, and our armored forces will drive straight in!"

Attack, attack is the best defense! When the Indians attacked Karachi, Muhammad had already thought of the scene that every president of Pakistan wanted to see, that is, his troops would go straight to New Delhi!

"Yes!" Mushaaf's eyes lit up immediately: "Even if half of the 5th Army in Karachi is killed, as long as we can achieve our combat objectives, it is worth it!"

"Convey the order immediately." Muhammad said, and he looked at northern Afghanistan again. This place has always been the focus of his attention.

A Force, a rapid reaction force formed by Muhammad, absolutely obeys Muhammad's command. This is the force that Muhammad trusts most.

As a rapid reaction force, their equipment is all light and light weapons, and a few months ago, they finally had the heavy equipment they were good at, the M551 tanks imported from the United States!

As a rapid reaction force, A Force is in combat almost every moment. Now A Force has expanded to three battalions, one battalion for training, one battalion for rest, and one battalion for combat readiness. It is the same as the organization of the US special forces. They can appear anywhere in Pakistan within an hour.

When the order was issued, the combat readiness battalion of Unit A was dispatched quickly.

The C-130 transport plane stopped on the runway, and the M551 tank rumbled up. In the wide tail cabin, a honeycomb aluminum alloy chassis was just pressed up by the tank and stopped steadily.

"Fix it!" The squad leader of the tank shouted, and several tankers came up and fixed it with high-strength nylon and aluminum alloy ropes on both sides. The chassis was directly connected to a parachute. This is a tank that can be airdropped!

There was an open space at the front of the tank. The soldiers were neatly equipped and sat there, with camouflage paste on their faces and assault rifles in their hands. Since this was an anti-armored force battle, half of them carried individual rocket launchers, which were retractable American M72 rocket launchers.

The Indian armored soldiers were wreaking havoc on their own land. What they had to do was to stop the Indian offensive momentum!

Ten minutes later, the C-130 transport plane slid off the runway, and fifty minutes later, they had appeared on the west bank of the Indus River.

"Attention, prepare for airdrop." The captain's voice came from the cabin.

The tail hatch slowly opened, and the tray, under the action of the guide rail, drove the M551 tank on it and began to move slowly backwards. The huge tail hatch supported the tank, and then the tank left the tail hatch, and several parachutes appeared in the air.

Paratroopers are a special force that can appear anywhere and react quickly. However, paratroopers are restricted by air transport and cannot use heavy weapons. If they are surrounded by the enemy's armored forces, they will only die in battle. Therefore, tanks that can be airdropped are born.

The full weight of the main battle tank is 60 tons, which is impossible to be airdropped. Even if it goes down, it can only be broken. Even if the parachute used for spacecraft is brought over, it can't support this 60-ton big guy.

Therefore, the M551 tank is very light. This tank is welded with 7039 aluminum armor, with the cockpit in the front, the combat compartment in the middle, and the power compartment in the back. At the same time, it did not use a high-power tank engine, but a 6V-53T 2-stroke 6-cylinder water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine from General Motors, with a maximum power of only 300 horsepower, which is about the same as the horsepower of a heavy truck. The transmission device is a TG-250 hydraulic mechanical transmission with a torque converter and a locking clutch, with 4 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. The gearbox body is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy material to reduce weight. (To be continued ~^~)
