Dominate South Asia

Chapter 723: Battle by the River

"Boom, boom!" With two violent explosions, several moving cars in front flew into the sky.

Damn it! The Pakistanis were well prepared and actually planted landmines here! It’s just a dirt road that’s not wide to begin with! These vehicles were bombed and the entire road was blocked.

If there are tanks in the army, just drive the tanks over and push the blown-up vehicles away, or drive off the roadbed and walk in the wilderness.

But now, with no other choice, Mulk could only order his soldiers to come down, bypass the blown-up car next to them, and walk forward!

The howitzers, which were transported by mules and horses from behind, also followed. Soldiers from the division's artillery pulled the mules and horses and pushed the cannons around the blown-up cars and passed carefully.

It was an intense night!

Just as they continued to move forward and walked for less than ten minutes, the sound of a plane was heard overhead.

The A-7 attack aircraft carrying the Blue Shield low-altitude navigation targeting pod has already flown over them!

This low-altitude navigation and targeting pod was developed by Pakistan's Babel High-Tech Center. It has cameras and infrared sensors, which can greatly increase the night combat capabilities of fighter aircraft. When linked with fighters with fly-by-wire operating systems, it can even When in danger of crashing into a mountain, he controls the plane and pulls it up.

Now, through the infrared sensor of the pod, the appearance of the troops on the ground clearly appeared on the multi-function display in the cockpit. These A-7 attack aircraft taking off from Chittagong Airport had all the weapons hanging under the wings. It was a multiple rocket launcher nest. The pilot gently pushed the nose of the aircraft, and firelight flashed under the wings.

One after another, 57mm rockets flew out of the rocket nest and flew towards the target below. In the darkness, these tongues of fire represent the arrival of death!

"Boom, boom!" There were explosions everywhere, and they were hurriedly looking for a safe place. There were also many Indian soldiers whose limbs were scattered and killed by planes in the sky.

As a second-line mountain division, they don't even have basic field air defense weapons! There was no accompanying self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, just a dozen Soviet portable anti-aircraft missiles.

The A-7 attack plane flew east along the road. The big target was soon discovered, those howitzers pulled by mules and horses!

The mountain troops are equipped with mules and horses to pull the artillery, which is also a major feature. If they were still in the mountains, they might be able to avoid aerial bombardments, but now it is the plains of Bangladesh, and there is no place to hide at all.

The roar of planes in the sky and the explosion ahead had frightened many mules and horses. They neighed, as if aware of the approaching danger, and wanted to escape to a safe place.

"Boom! Boom. Boom!" Rockets flew in, and the mules and horses that were running just now were blown to pieces, and the howitzer was also blown up.

It's like hell!

Ten minutes later, these planes all flew away. The 27th Mountain Division, which had been so majestic just now, was now reduced to limbs and arms, and the remaining people were left behind. Looking at the tragic situation around me, it felt like a dream.

Most of them were new soldiers and had never been on the battlefield. Suddenly, the survivors couldn't help but vomited, and the smell of blood wafted into their noses in the air.

Fight, formal fight. Before it even started, just one air raid severely damaged the morale of this motley mountain division.

Chittagong.

The entire port was brightly lit, and from the distant sea, the unique roar of the turbofan engine could be heard. A Kitty Hawk-class ground-effect aircraft, the front engine has stalled. After losing its air cushion, the aircraft fell into the water. Relying on the cruise engine in the middle, the aircraft continued to move forward on the water, with its speed getting smaller and smaller.

Then, the aircraft aligned on the track, which was specially prepared for them. Following this track, the aircraft smoothly left the water and came to the shore.

Under the illumination of the port lights, the aircraft's hatch opened, and with the sound of the rumbling engine, the main battle tank of the 1st Armored Division drove out from inside.

A few hours ago, they were still defending in Calcutta. In such a short period of time, they arrived at Chittagong, hundreds of kilometers away. The main time was loading and unloading. The actual sailing time was only more than an hour! This is the advantage of ground effect aircraft!

The commander of the armored brigade watched his own tanks drive out one after another without stopping. He immediately ordered to march to the east to deal with the invading Indian army!

Before arriving, the main battle tanks had been filled with fuel. Due to the use of the advanced German technology MTUMB873 4-stroke 12-cylinder V-type 90° angle water-cooled pre-combustion chamber supercharged intercooled diesel engine, the maximum stroke exceeds five A hundred kilometers away, you can go directly to the front line and block the Indian attack!

Rubber tracks pressed against the road to the port. With a rumbling sound and facing the light of morning, the 1st Armored Division began a rapid advance.

In modern warfare, without air superiority, there is nothing!

When it was discovered that the Indians had crossed the border, while the border guards were blocking the border, a raid by the air force successfully delayed the Indian army's actions. The arrival of the armored troops heralded the end of the Indian army.

The 27th Armored Division was originally the fastest army. After being bombed, division commander Mulk was still trying his best to reorganize the army. After an hour, he finally led the team that was frightened by the bombing and continued to advance. At the same time , behind him, the 20th Mountain Division has also caught up.

The two troops gathered together, especially the 20th Mountain Division, which also had more than 20 towed twin-mounted 23mm anti-aircraft guns. If the Pakistani Air Force planes came again, they could not fire rockets at low altitudes as they did just now. Therefore, the two mountain divisions continued to move forward, only 100 kilometers away from Chittagong.

After walking for half an hour, there was a river in front. For a country like Bangladesh where it rains all year round, there are too many rivers, but most of the rivers are not deep, like the one in front, which is just above the knee.

Rolling up their trouser legs and continuing to move forward, the Indian soldiers put their guns behind their backs, not knowing that they were in great danger.

The river, which was less than 30 meters wide, could be crossed in one minute. Just as they were crossing the river with the coolness of the morning, the sound of machine guns suddenly sounded from the opposite side.

The first to arrive at the battlefield was the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle of the armored brigade, which was also moving on the road. This wheeled infantry fighting vehicle left the tank far behind and rushed forward quickly.

When they arrived at the river, they found a large number of Indians wading across the river. Seeing this scene, the reconnaissance battalion of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle did not hesitate and immediately joined the battle.

The 14.7mm machine gun on the roof weapon station fired into the river. Suddenly, a large number of Indian soldiers screamed and fell into the river. The whole river began to turn red.

"Quick, deploy the anti-aircraft guns to cover our soldiers crossing the river!" Rand, the commander of the 20th Division, shouted immediately.

The enemy was quite cunning. They launched an attack while they were crossing the river. They were still dozens of meters away from the river bank. Their infantry could not destroy them with rocket launchers. At the same time, they kept shooting while marching, making it impossible for them to react. Damn it!

As long as they crossed the river and set up infantry positions on the opposite side, they could destroy these thin-skinned and large-stuffed armored vehicles! Although the 20th Division is a mountain division, it also has towed anti-aircraft guns, which can not only deal with planes in the sky, but also 23mm anti-aircraft guns, which can also shoot horizontally and easily penetrate the armor of the opposite infantry fighting vehicles!

In the back, on several high grounds, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were hastily deployed, with the legs put down, sitting on them, and loading ammunition on both sides! The artillerymen were nervously preparing, the soldiers in front were bleeding, and they had to move quickly!

A soldier sat on it, swung his right hand more than 30 times, and the gun barrel was already flat. Through the aiming ring in front, he wanted to put an infantry fighting vehicle on the opposite bank into the aiming ring, and then stepped on the trigger under his feet, but almost at the same time, he saw the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle on the opposite side was shrouded in thick smoke, and a guy with a tongue of fire flew over.

Anti-tank missile! It was coming towards him! He was immediately scared to death, jumped down from his position in a hurry, and was about to run back.

A Red Arrow 8 anti-tank missile with a flame trailing a laser semi-active guidance flew out of the launch tube of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, and a few seconds later, it reached the anti-aircraft gun position.

"Boom!" The tandem armor-piercing warhead, originally an anti-tank missile used to deal with main battle tanks, is now very easy to use against this anti-aircraft gun. The warhead directly penetrated the anti-aircraft gun's shield, passed through diagonally, and just stuck in the ammunition box.

"Boom!" Amid the explosion, the anti-aircraft gun position was enveloped by the flames produced by the explosion.

"Boom, boom, boom." Several other anti-aircraft guns had already opened fire at this time, flying across the river and flying to the opposite side.

The wheeled infantry fighting vehicles seemed to realize the approaching danger. Except for a few that launched anti-tank missiles, the rest were retreating quickly.

Seeing that these damn Pakistanis were forced back by one attack, Rand ordered to continue crossing the river.

Didn't they say that there were only a few infantry guards left in the Chittagong area? Where did these wheeled infantry fighting vehicles come from? Countless questions flashed through Rand's mind, and then he convinced himself that the Pakistanis were well-equipped, and it was possible that these remaining troops had some wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. However, these few infantry fighting vehicles could not stop the advance of his army. As long as they were defeated and entered Chittagong, they would engage in street fighting with them. Infantry fighting vehicles would be useless!

Then, a louder rumbling sound was heard in the distance. Looking in the direction of the sound, Rand was stunned. Damn, where did those main battle tanks come from? (To be continued ~^~)
