Dominate South Asia

"Prime Minister, the Soviets are taking advantage of us." Sendarji said after the Soviet ambassador left.

Taking advantage, Rajiv certainly knew that the Soviets were definitely taking advantage of themselves.

The powerful and arrogant Soviet Union has been fighting conventional wars. They have so many nuclear weapons that they dare not take out any of them. They even dare not use ballistic missiles.

The Soviets are under great pressure. During this Cold War, both major groups have powerful armed forces. If they are not careful, it may trigger a world war. If there is another war this time, it will directly be a nuclear war. When the time comes, say Maybe the whole world will be destroyed.

Both the United States and the Soviet Union were very afraid. In the Korean War, the United States directly went to war, and the Soviet Union stopped sending troops. The same goes for the Vietnam War. But now in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union directly sends troops, and the United States will not directly fall into confrontation. To avoid scaling up.

If the Soviet Union uses large-scale ballistic missiles to attack Pakistan's homeland, this will be a complete escalation of the war. Pakistan is not Afghanistan. It has a complete army, a huge population, and the support of the West. If the Soviet Union uses troops on a large scale against Pakistan, the Western world will It might get involved.

Therefore, the Soviets lost so many fighter planes in Afghanistan, and they had to grit their teeth and swallow it. They no longer had the toughness of Stalin and Brezhnev, and the new Gorbachev who came to power was even more soft. Egg.

This was the Soviet Union's idea to put India on the front line. When India uses ballistic missiles to attack Pakistan's bases, it will definitely attract large-scale retaliation from Pakistan. It is India that bears the wrath, and it is India that gains the advantage. Soviet Union. When the Pakistan Air Force was wiped out by ballistic missiles. The pressure on the Soviet Union will be greatly reduced.

Rajiv thought clearly about these judgments when the Soviet ambassador said that he would support Scud missiles.

The Pakistanis conducted an interception test, which means that Pakistan has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles, and it also means that they have ballistic missiles, whether they are their own or the United States', and when India attacked Pakistan with ballistic missiles. India will also face counterattacks from Pakistan.

But does India have a choice? After experiencing several failures, India can no longer afford to fail. The current government's public support has dropped to the lowest level. Even the army began to feel a pessimistic atmosphere. Otherwise, how could the entire infantry division surrender when a Pakistani armored brigade attacked?

India must use a victory, a complete victory to save it! In the current case, ballistic missiles. It’s the best choice!

So, Rajiv simply asked for a hundred coins, and he had these hundred coins. It is enough to carry out a complete blow to Pakistan's air force and army bases, paralyzing Pakistan in one fell swoop! Then, all Indian armies march eastwards!

Although the United States will block it, and the northern countries will threaten war again, at least. India will regain the initiative in the war and boost morale. The people of India will once again inspire the pride of a great country.

Otherwise, India's future will be full of gloom.

Rajiv had no choice.

Pakistan in the West has always been India's mortal enemy in many years of fighting. India has always been at an advantage and cannot compete with the north. It is always pleasing to bully the younger brother in the north, but now, it is even connected with Pakistan in the west. It suddenly became so powerful.

Their military power must be completely destroyed!

And, here come these Scud missiles. India can also enhance its country's ballistic missile development capabilities by mapping these Scud missiles.

Although India's nuclear program has gone bankrupt due to Pakistan's attack, India's ballistic missile program has not been affected. With the efforts of its own technical personnel, they have begun to develop short-range surface-to-surface missiles and Agni medium-range surface-to-surface missiles. Missiles, but these missiles are still on the drawing board and have not been tested yet.

If the attack is successful this time and it is announced to the outside world that it is a ballistic missile developed by India, it will greatly enhance the government's prestige and increase the pride of the Indian people. This is quite valuable, even if it incurs suspicion from the Western world. The sanctions are worth it!

Under Rajiv's "efficient" decision-making, India's war machine also began to move rapidly.

The desire to break through from the south left India empty of troops in northern India. In desperation, India had to mobilize two troops from near New Delhi to intercept the incoming Pakistani armored forces. At the same time, the nearest infantry division also The march began.

It takes a long time for an army in garrison status to transition into combat status. For example, some soldiers and officers who are normally on leave will be quickly called back to the army. Without them, the organization of the army will be chaotic, especially It's an officer. This call-up only takes a day or two, and then the soldiers need to be given bullets, grenades, and various weapons. Some novices who have recently joined the army will become excited because of this. Then, there will be pre-war mobilization, and even another swearing-in meeting, so that by the time they are ready and start to move out, two or three days have passed.

The Pakistani army would not give them that long.

When New Delhi made the decision, the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade had already entered Ludhiana. Compared with Amritsar, Ludhiana had only one infantry battalion stationed. When the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade arrived, the infantry battalion had already retreated towards New Delhi under the leadership of the commander.

Faced with such an empty city, the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade had no interest in entering it. They did not waste time here, nor did they show off their military power in the city. They just fired a few shots with the leading tanks, blowing up the railway lines along the way. Then, amid the trembling of Indian residents, they continued along the road and quickly advanced towards Ambala in the southeast.

When the road reached Ambala, it was divided into north and south. A few dozen kilometers to the north was Chandigarh, and hundreds of kilometers to the south was New Delhi!

Moreover, as long as you reach Ambala, there will be no rivers along the way, and it will be completely land!

The Leopard 2 tank raised its gun barrel and the 1,500-horsepower engine at the rear roared. After crossing Ludhiana, the tank soldiers who had been running for several hours finally stopped temporarily and rested for half an hour. The refueling truck behind them came up and began to refuel. At the same time, they took advantage of this short gap to eat the first meal since the attack.

The compressed dry food chewed in the mouth, and there was no taste. This thing was just to fill the stomach. The Pakistani soldiers ate it very quickly.

The Leopard 2 tank has good performance and good sound insulation. In the tank, the roar of the engine can hardly be heard, and it is also very comfortable to ride. Therefore, although they have been walking for such a long time, they did not feel too tired.

The tank soldiers of the 59 tanks following behind were a little tired. The long-term driving made their bodies very tired, but the victory was stimulating them. They were heading towards the capital of India!

Brigade Commander Fahim stuffed a piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth and looked up at the sky. Four fighter planes flew over his head. He couldn't help but look at the east with contempt.

They don't have to worry about their own fighters protecting their heads. The four that just passed by are powerful Tomcat fighters. It seems that the Indian Air Force has been dispatched to attack them. Unfortunately, they are doomed to fail.

"Keep going." Fahim said, "We have to advance to Ambala before dark."

As long as they can advance to Ambala, then, after dark, they will head south and rush straight to New Delhi. When the Indians open their eyes tomorrow, the Leopard 2 tanks will have surrounded their capital.

Thinking of this, Fahim felt extremely excited.

Without spreading the two wings and without more troops as the rear team, the two armored forces dared to penetrate hundreds of kilometers behind the enemy. Such a bold tactic can only be thought of by President Muhammad!

At the same time, they are not afraid. Due to the battle in the south, the north of India has been completely empty. There is no second armored force in the vicinity except New Delhi. This is simply opening the door and waiting for the Pakistani army to come in.

The armored troops continued to advance. In the afternoon, 50 kilometers away from Ambala, they finally encountered the first resistance of the Indian Army.

The Indian Army's infantry regiments include three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and a tank regiment. Since the Indian Army is organized in the British style, division-brigade-regiment (battalion), although it is called a tank regiment, it is actually a tank battalion with a total of 45 tanks.

Under the repeated urging of New Delhi, the Chandigarh Infantry Division finally went out. Their armored regiment moved the fastest and walked in the front. In order to protect their own roads, they did not advance directly on the roads, but advanced on the dirt roads under the roads.

These are the most common T-55 tanks, and the tracks are not rubber-coated.

Because they were walking on a dirt road, they went directly in a diagonal line. When they advanced to the road in the south, they just met the Pakistani tank troops.

"Enemy spotted!" The commander of the tank at the front of the tank unit was standing outside the turret, half of his body exposed. It was hot and noisy inside, and they all liked to expose their bodies when they were marching.

The commander used his eyes to find the tanks that were marching quickly on the road a few kilometers away. At this time, the enemy lined up in a long line, and the enemy was just on their flank, which was the easiest direction to attack.

"Prepare to attack!" The commander of the tank regiment shouted. (To be continued ~^~)
