The attack on the barracks was extremely painful because the missile fell on their heads because it was massing before the war. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Indian Army were blown to pieces by the rain of bullets falling from the sky in a daze; Nearly 100 tanks, armored vehicles, and logistical military vehicles were dismantled into parts and scrap metal by shrapnel or gas waves from the explosion.

The air force headquarters, which was the focus of the missiles, was the most completely destroyed, except for the shelter hidden deep in the ground, which was not affected, and a few small staff officers inside survived, and the other officers, including a lieutenant general, were completely wiped out along with the facilities. These few staff officers who survived only came down to set up the war room so that the senior officers could take refuge in the event of a Pakistani air raid, who knew that the war had just begun, and the Pakistani air raid had been brought forward. The lieutenant general, along with his officers and senior staff officers, was beginning to study how to attack the other side in the air.

It can be said that the first confrontation with India failed as the United States wished. Although the planes they went to the front line had not yet engaged, their armored units and mountain divisions had not yet engaged the Pakistani army.

The Indian General Staff, which received the news, was dumbfounded, which they absolutely did not expect at the beginning of the war. As soon as the news was confirmed again, India's top brass immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the next steps and how to change the current passive situation.

At a time when India's top leadership was holding an emergency meeting to deal with heavy losses in the first round of missile fire, the Indian and Pakistani fighter planes fought for air supremacy, and the air forces of the two sides conducted the first round of duel over Kashmir, and the warring sides successively deployed more than 130 combat planes of various types.

Air combat is one of the battles that India has high hopes for, second only to naval battles.

The reason why India is so confident in air combat is that India has imported ten F15 fighters from the United States, six F14 fighters, and eighteen MiG-27 fighters from the former Soviet Union. These belong to the third generation of fighters.

The F15 fighter is an all-weather, highly maneuverable tactical fighter, even in the United States is their most important active fighter, although India has obtained a commercial version, its performance can not be compared with the F15 used by the United States itself, and even far less than the F15 imported by Israel, but its performance is still super strong, with a high degree of maneuverability and acceleration performance, and its combat effectiveness should not be taken lightly by anyone.

Sure enough, after the battle began. Although Pakistan also has a Mirage III, MiG-27 and even several J-10s, the Pakistani Air Force still suffered heavy losses under India's blows.

The air battle between the two sides lasted less than an hour, but as many as 53 planes were shot down or damaged on both sides. More than one-third of the planes participating in the battle showed the fierceness of the battle, as well as the damage that eleven fighters of both sides suffered when they landed.

Of all the aircraft lost, two-thirds were Pakistani, while India lost less than 30 aircraft, especially the F14 and F15 fighters, which lost only one each.

For the first time, the Chinese J-10 took part in the battle, although the performance was very good. However, because the Pakistani Air Force has been used for a short time, and the performance of China's air-to-air missiles is not as good as that of American air-to-air missiles, it took two Jian-10 fighters to fight out one F15 fighter. Like cruise missiles, China does not export the more high-tech J-11 and J-12. Even the country is in a state of secrecy.

The only benefit that the Pakistani army received in this air battle was the small loss of pilots. Because the Indian Air Force is the active attacker, and the Pakistan Air Force is passively coping, the air combat area of the two sides is mainly located in the airspace above the area controlled by the Pakistani army. The pilots of the downed and damaged planes parachuted and all fell into the hands of the Pakistan Army below. For their own people. The Pakistan Army was naturally polite and immediately sent to the original unit if there were no injuries. Injuries should be treated immediately on the spot. But if it was a pilot from India, he was not so polite, and those who were not injured were immediately tied up, and those who were injured were also treated, but they were all imprisoned as prisoners.

The Pakistani army faced the fierce attack of the Indian army, only the ability to parry and have no power to fight back, fortunately, because the Indian army was worried that the armored forces would be too concentrated and would be attacked by the Pakistani missiles, so their tanks did not dare to use boldly, and because the use of tanks was restricted by the mountains, the disadvantage of the small number of Pakistani tanks was not too obvious, but the Pakistani border guards fought and retreated under the strong pressure of the opponent.

After receiving the information from the front, Pakistan's top brass was worried that the joy of the victory of the missile counterattack was now gone, and they held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures while asking China for help.

The mood of the Indian top brass has finally stabilized, and they are no longer as anxious as they were at the beginning, and they think that as long as the battle on land remains ahead and the air remains undefeated, Pakistan will definitely lose when the navy enters the war. When the time comes, China will have to go shirtless.

General Xu Da and Guo Zhuocheng stayed in the General Staff Headquarters to study the battle situation on the front line between India and Pakistan, and the military situation map of India and Pakistan was not only clearly marked with a large sand table, but also had more detailed numbers in the computer for them to query.

"Xiao Guo, Pakistan's military strength is so weak? The Indians have not yet used their full strength before they are in ruin, and without the help of our Hayabusa-5 surface-to-surface missiles, their army might have fled from the border by now. General Xu said angrily, standing in front of the sand table with his hands on his hips, his eyes staring at the sand table.

Guo Zhuocheng said: "India has been planning for a long time, and it has obtained a lot of advanced weapons from the United States and the former Soviet Union. In the past few years, Pakistan's political situation has been unstable, it has no intention of developing its economy, it has no energy to expand its armaments, and its troops have not been trained enough. ”

General Xu nodded and said: "The problem now is that we are clear about this problem, the Americans are also clear, and the Indians are even clearer, this is an important reason why they started this war, but the Pakistani top management is not clear." We've been sending them a few hours now, but we haven't heard back yet. If their living forces are worn out on the front line, they will have no troops to use in the next more tragic war. ”

Guo Shucheng said: "There is no way, the political zhì family commands and fights wars have these problems, and many times they do not consider it from the military point of view, they think about it at most." If they retreat before the war begins, and they retreat in great strides, they will fear that the opposition party will replace them, and they will fear that the people will not understand them, so they are gritting their teeth now, and once they have resisted, they have succeeded, and they have a war achievement. ”

General Xu sighed and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to switch to a wartime state, and I don't know when the national mobilization order will be issued." ”

Guo Zhuocheng comforted: "Old Xu, no matter what, he is much wiser than our Jiang during the War of Resistance Against Japan, at least they declared war." Our government at that time did not declare war on Japan after the Japanese occupation of Northeast China in 1931 after the September 18 Incident, nor did it declare war on Japan after the full-scale Japanese invasion of China after the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Chiang still did not declare war after the Battle of Songhu, nor did he declare war after the fall of Nanjing, and he did not dare to declare war until after the Pearl Harbor incident. The delay in declaring war for the sake of international aid that was out of reach greatly reduced the confidence of the people of the whole country in the war of resistance. But after Pakistan launched missiles from India, they began to declare war, putting on a posture of fighting to the death, which is not bad. ”

General Xu sneered: "Not to mention that Jiang someone, his generals lost all the Northeast without firing a shot, and there was not even a little criticism and punishment, no matter whether the Northeast Army entered the customs or not, he couldn't get out of it." However, it is not enough for the Pakistani side to just shout fiercely, and it must act in accordance with military laws, and it cannot fight so desperately. ”

A senior general next to him said, "Why don't we send volunteers over?" I think that as long as there is an army, the Indian army can be beaten all over the place. I think the way they fought the war was similar to the model of World War II, far worse than the Vietnamese army. If the Pakistani leaders are allowed to command so blindly, the Pakistani army will not be far from defeat. People die on the ground, people are on the land' I don't understand the truth, what kind of war is fighting, people in India want you to fight to the death. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "People now wish that China would send troops, but isn't the purpose of India and the United States to drag us into the quagmire of war?" If we just rush forward, we're going to hit them right in. ”

The senior general said disappreciatively: "As long as we defeat the Indian army and India is honest, what can the Yankees do?" ”

"As long as we are dispatched, they will dare to turn Pakistan and India into a huge grinding wheel that consumes our financial and material resources," Guo said. Are you really confident that our army can wipe out the Indian army? Even if you can really defeat these armies in front of you, they India will not increase its troops? Western countries led by the United States will not aid weapons? India has only launched 32 missiles this time, and if European and American countries support them and let them come up with more missiles to fire at us, will we have such a large family to fight with them?

We are now eager to divide every penny into two cents to spend, not to mention the army that is unwilling to send one army into it, not even the army of a division or a regiment does not want to send it. A regiment consumes hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day's fighting, and 100,000 yuan is now extremely valuable to our country. ”
