Dominate South Asia

Chapter 712: Firefight

When the Indians were beaten to a pulp, the Chinese army took the initiative to retreat, giving up all the occupied land, and not only retreated to the McMahon Line, but also retreated another 20 kilometers. As a result, the shameless Indians regarded these 20 kilometers as their territory.

When these Indian sentinels came out with guns, they thought that as usual, as long as they came out and shouted a few times to express their protest, this is Indian land! The other side will leave obediently.

In addition, they had weapons in their hands, so they were noisy and shouting.

An Indian soldier even stood aside, unbuttoned his pants, and took out a black thing without caring about the strong wind on the top of the mountain, and poured a stream of smelly yellow liquid on the Chinese sentinels patrolling on the opposite side.

However, they were disappointed. The Chinese patrol team did not leave, but shouted at them instead.

"This is Chinese land, please leave here immediately!" Lin Heping, the captain of the team and the captain of the 53rd Mountain Brigade Special Reconnaissance Battalion, shouted loudly to the opposite side. It seemed that he was just shouting, but in fact, he had already made preparations.

After the Sino-Indian War, some troops stayed in Tibet, including the 52nd and 53rd Army Divisions.

Among them, the 52nd Division was the 149th Division of the 50th Army, which was the 21st Division of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army before liberation. This army participated in the Korean War and performed well, while the 53rd Division was the 53rd Division of the 18th Army. The 18th Army was the trump card army of China and the vanguard of Tibet.

In 1985, after Deng Gong of China announced a million-man reduction in the military at the military parade, the two armies also began to shrink, from divisions to brigades, and from ordinary infantry to professional mountain infantry. Since then, China's most professional mountain troops have appeared.

Although the number of people is small, each brigade has less than 10,000 people. However, every soldier is an elite soldier, and their physical fitness is far beyond the mainland soldiers. Let alone climbing with a rope, it is the most physically demanding.

And the special reconnaissance brigade in this unit is the elite among the elites.

In comparison. Although India has countless mountain divisions, in fact, these mountain divisions are commonplace, and their combat effectiveness is not even as good as that of ordinary infantry divisions.

Seeing that the Chinese army dared to shout at them here, the Indian soldiers were even more angry. The guy who pulled up his pants took out the gun on his back without bothering to fasten his belt, and pulled the bolt with a clatter.

"Do it!" Lin Heping said.

In an instant. The dozen soldiers behind Lin Heping all flipped over the ridge and hid in the bunkers they had just chosen. Almost at the same time, the 81 bars on their backs were already in their hands.

As a soldier of the mountain force, an important indicator is to shoot a hundred shots!

Mountain troops are active in mountainous areas where even vehicles cannot drive, and many places can only be climbed by hand. Therefore, the equipment that can be carried is limited, and the amount of bullets carried is far less than that of normal troops, which requires them to never waste a bullet!

"Da." They all use burst shooting. Lin Heping aims the crosshairs at the guy who took out the gun, and gently pulls the trigger with his index finger. A 7.62mm bullet flies towards the other side. A distance of dozens of meters, the bullets are all accurate!

"Ah." The guy screamed and fell backwards.

Originally, they all thought it was just a verbal battle between each other, but the Chinese on the opposite side. It turned out that they had been prepared for it! Caught off guard, the Indians were killed one after another. None of them ran back.

Looking at the bodies of these Indians slowly getting cold, Lin Heping, who participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, had a cold look in his eyes: "Let's go, we will evacuate immediately!"

The conflict between the two sides has begun. Now, the situation is not big enough, and we need to wait a little longer!

The news quickly reached Tawang. The local garrison commander, the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 17th Mountain Division of the 33rd Indian Army, was furious. While reporting to his superiors, he took the initiative to order a border defense company to patrol along the McMahon Line. If they encountered the Chinese patrol again, they would open fire directly!

The border defense company ordered on the front line was very depressed. They had to start from the lower altitude Tawang Town and walk up the mountain road. Cars could not pass here, so they could only rely on their feet. When they climbed up the ridge panting, the sky was clear and there was nothing except the whistling wind.

In Tawang Town, it was still summer, so you could wear short sleeves. But when you climbed up the mountain on the McMahon Line side, there was snow on the top of the mountain! This difference in temperature made them very uncomfortable.

Especially for a second-line mountain division like theirs, even the military pay cannot be paid on time, let alone training. Half of the recruits in the company are climbing the mountain for the first time. They have long been accustomed to the hot Indian continent and cannot stand such cold weather!

While blowing on their hands, they urged their leaders to end the patrol and return to the town of Tawang at the foot of the mountain. They did not realize that their doomsday had come.

"Boom!" This sound came without any warning. When the 107mm rocket exploded beside them, several Indian soldiers were immediately blown over.

"Damn it, hide quickly!" The Indian company commander shouted loudly, his eyes looking at a mountain opposite, there was still a wisp of green smoke over there, it can be seen that the enemy fired the 107mm rocket from there!

It was very difficult for them to climb the top of the mountain here, and the mountains in the north of the entire McMahon Line were even steeper, so the enemy could not carry heavy weapons. However, this 107mm rocket was a magic weapon of the Chinese side. They only needed to carry the shells and could fire accurately without even using the barrels!

The pupils of the Indian company commander suddenly dilated again, and several rockets flew from there again! The rockets that flew with flames were like the god of death!

"Ah." A soldier screamed. After seeing the rockets from the opposite side, he involuntarily stepped back, but forgot that there was a cliff behind him and fell down all of a sudden.

"Boom, boom!" Several more rockets blew up the Indian soldiers. The AKM rifles in their hands did not have enough range and could not pose a threat to the enemy on the opposite side, while the enemy continued to bring death to them.

"Quick, call for fire support from the rear!" The company commander said to the radio soldier beside him.

In mountainous areas, the transmission distance of radio signals will be greatly shortened. However, since it is on the top of the mountain, the signal can be transmitted back to the town of Tawang at the foot of the mountain. There is an artillery company with five 152mm howitzers, which can definitely provide them with fire support!

"Hello, hello, artillery company, artillery company, please provide fire support immediately, target, Peak 23." The radioman hid behind a rock and shouted to the radio.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the artillery company outside Tawang Town completed the launch preparations. Amid the deafening roar, the 152mm artillery attack began!

"Boom!" The artillery with a 39-caliber barrel fired a grenade. When it flew out of the muzzle, it brought a golden fireball and thick smoke.

The artillerymen covered their ears. The sound of the howitzer firing was enough to deafen their ears.

The scene was spectacular, but unfortunately, the accuracy of the shells was poor. Most of the shells flew into the ravine opposite the mountain, thousands of meters away from the target! This group of artillerymen were usually careless and had never been strictly trained!

Unfortunately, they didn't know that when they fired the shells, the war escalated!

The battlefield calmed down temporarily, and there was no movement on the opposite side. The Indian soldiers had no mood to continue patrolling and fighting at this time, and walked back along the rugged mountain road.

Feeling a little depressed, they carried the bodies of their comrades, thinking about how cowardly their own battle was.

There was a buzzing sound in the sky. The company commander looked up and saw several bright spots in the blue sky. These bright spots came from the north and were moving south.

Civilian airliner? This doesn't seem to be a flight route, right? Where did the plane come from? He rubbed his eyes and continued to look up. He finally saw the red five-pointed star under the wing and was stunned: "Chinese fighters!"

Two fighters with a somewhat fat appearance were flying in the sky. They had a conventional aerodynamic layout, a single wing, and a tandem two-seat layout. Two PL-8 air combat missiles for self-defense were hung on the wingtips of the wings, and the internal racks were all loaded with bombs.

These are two J-11 fighters belonging to the Chinese Air Force! Due to the technical support of Pakistan, this fighter was successfully developed earlier and entered the fleet of the Chinese Navy Air Force. It has a long range, a large bomb load, advanced performance, and low operating costs. Although the Air Force disdained it when it was first developed, now looking back, it is found that this aircraft is more suitable for the Chinese Air Force to operate. After all, the current J-5 has short legs, and the H-6 has no self-defense capabilities. The most important thing is the advancement of airborne electronic technology, which gives this fighter a precise ground attack capability, so the Chinese Air Force finally purchased a batch.

Now, this batch of fighters has come in handy. Although the Air Force's Tomcat fighters and J-10 fighters have been stationed at the airport near Lhasa in Tibet for training, they are only for rotation training. The high altitude of Tibet makes logistics difficult, and the service life of the fighters will be greatly shortened. The current JH-7 can take off from airports at lower altitudes and fly directly into the southern Tibet region with its long range advantage! (To be continued ~^~)
