When Ling Chengyi was arranging troops in the rear. The battle to attack Siliguri dawned,

Because the Indian army did not attack the airborne field, it was around the force point, that is, shortly after the arrival of the first combat battalion of the old brigade of the air assault. Li Dongshi gave the task of guarding the landing field to the reinforcements. Transport aircraft leading two other ground combat battalions of the Airborne Combat Calcium Brigade, as well as the first combat units of the Rapid Counterstate Brigade, have not yet entered Indian airspace.

Although there is a big difference between the Airborne Forces and the Airborne Forces, the combat effectiveness of the Airborne Assault Forces is much higher than that of the Airborne Forces in short-range assault operations. But as long as it is fought on the ground. The Air Assault Force is about the same as the Airborne Forces. Because the airlift forces of the Air Assault Brigade and the 1st Thuger Brigade were in the rear, all combat units that reached the battlefield could only advance towards Siliguri from the ground.

After leaving the airborne field. Li Dongshi first asked the airborne thug trade battalion to send scouts.

Siliguri is the choke point of eastern India and is one of the most important strategic strongholds. After the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Indian army began to strengthen the defenses of Siliguri. After the conflict in southern Tibet. The Indian army again raised the defense of Siliguri. According to information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the Indian army has been strengthening Siliguri's defenses for the past three years. Millions of square meters of reinforced concrete were consumed.

For the world's largest cement and steel producer, losing millions of tons of cement and tens of thousands of tons of steel is nothing.

It was precisely because of this that Pei Chengyi decided to let the sword army attack Siliguri.

Li Dongshi is not a stupid person, no matter how powerful the airborne thug Shao Brigade is, he is not an armored unit that is good at gnawing hard bones.

The main combat equipment of the airborne fighter Shao Brigade is still the Kou-24 series airborne combat vehicles that emerged during the Japanese War, but it has changed from the original type to the type. Compared to the initial model, the model has improved in all aspects. In terms of firepower, the Phantom Millimeter Electromagnetic Cannon is capable of firing armor-piercing and boiling bullets. It can also shoot special shells designed to deal with strong bunkers in battles against Ryukyu Island. The Kouyigou airborne combat vehicle revealed that it could not deal with strong fortifications, and many times the infantry was not allowed to get out of the vehicle and anti-tank missiles were used to destroy the fortifications on the enemy's positions. defensively. The armor components, specially developed for airborne combat vehicles, were more defensive than the initial models. With the armament of all defensive components", the combat weight of the combat vehicle reaches a knife ton, which is almost comparable to that of a primer main battle tank. The protection capability is also close to the level of the main battle tank. In terms of mobility, in the "naked car. case. The dead weight is only the old ton, and when equipped with three types of defense components from low to high, the dead weight is ugly ton, out ton and knife ton, for which two electric motors with an output power of the nephew kilowatt are used, even in the case of the weight of the knife ton. Tactical maneuverability is also sufficiently guaranteed. Overall. The performance of the Relaxation Airborne Combat Vehicle has been greatly improved compared to the Tank, and it can be used as a main battle tank when necessary.

The problem is, no matter how powerful the airborne combat vehicle is. It is also an airborne combat vehicle, not a main battle tank in the true sense of the word.

More importantly, the basic technology of Kou 2 is at the level of the beginning of the force, and no matter how much it is improved, its fundamental problems cannot be properly solved. For example, in the vital firepower, the airborne combat vehicle must have the ability to carry the airborne troops in combat, the crew compartment accounts for a large proportion, the load-bearing structure of the basic structure of the combat vehicle is limited by the layout of each compartment, and the turret cabin can be set up in front of the case that the crew compartment occupies more than half of the space of the hull, and the main task of the combat use airborne combat vehicle is to support the airborne forces, rather than anti-armor combat, and the ammunition is prepared to use millimeter shells, which can carry gammon ammunition, if equipped with a larger caliber electromagnetic gun. The ammunition base will be reduced to the point of intolerable and other reasons, and large-caliber electromagnetic guns will not be used in the mouth wheel. Although the high-armor-piercing projectile fired by the millimeter electromagnetic cannon can deal with all third-generation main battle tanks, it does not pose much threat to some fourth-generation main battle tanks and all fifth-generation main battle tanks, so it is difficult to compete with main battle tanks. The same problem exists in terms of protection, although arsenic can protect against armor-piercing shells when dealing with armor-piercing shells after using all defensive components, and the protection capacity of frontal armor is equivalent to that of armor-piercing shells fired by a thug-caliber electromagnetic cannon. However, with the use of the old Late Mi tank gun in the fourth-generation main battle tank, a large number of new armor-piercing shells have been introduced. As well as the use of large-caliber electromagnetic guns in the fifth generation, the protection capacity of the 2 tax is no longer enough for it to gallop on the battlefield. Fought against the time without any scruples.

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Li Dongshi will not despise any opponent.

Strictly speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Indian Army is not bad. At least it's not badly equipped. After the conflict in southern Tibet, the United States did everything in its power to help the Indian armed army. Not only did it provide nearly four ... Prosperous... The ultimate model in the series. India was also provided with an improved version of the fourth-generation main battle tank, but it did not have time to provide India with the latest main battle tank. If Chuan Qiaoji does not pose much of a threat to the world's most powerful Buyin, then there is a great threat to the already backward Kou 2 Worry. In order to reach the level of the fourth-generation main battle tank in terms of firepower. … The kinetic energy of the muzzle of the armor-piercing projectile is only just coke, and the long-diameter ratio of the depleted uranium alloy long-rod armor-piercing projectile is used to Nu. I can penetrate the distance of ugly rice and persuade about millimeters. Although the mouth 2 is absolutely millimeter, the electromagnetic cannon can penetrate the distance of the blade rice ... Clever frontal armor ... Qiao's defense ability has not been substantially improved, and the bulletproof ability of frontal armor against armor-piercing shells is about a millimeter, but it is a bit laborious when dealing with the base. If the bulging iodine is hung with additional armor. Once the mouth comes out, it can only be destroyed within a meter of the mouth. It can be seen that with... When Wang fights, he still has a great chance of winning. When it comes to fighting against the foundation cylinder, there is not much chance of winning.

An airborne combat vehicle is an airborne combat vehicle. It is impossible to replace the main battle tank.

If it weren't for the introduction, the output has not been able to keep up. In addition to giving priority to equipping armored forces, I am afraid that the three airborne armies have long demanded the formation of separate armored brigades.

Lee Dong-seok's idea was simple, try not to confront the enemy head-on.

When advancing towards Siliguri. Li Dongshi has been at the forefront with the camp of thugs and nephews commanded by Zhang Zhiqi. He was not worried that Zhang Zhiqi would not be able to command the "mother's troops" well, but he wanted to have a more accurate grasp of the battlefield situation, and when necessary, the brigade headquarters would directly call for air support.

If you can't beat it on the ground, let the air power do it.

Calling for air support is not a shameful thing, and for the Airborne Forces, it is even more commonplace.

Besides, the airborne occupation army has its own low-fight brigade. As long as the thugs and brigades are free, there is no need to make a request to the tactical aviation of the Air Force.

The distance from the airborne field to Siliguri is less than a thousand meters," the nephew camp walked when the thugs were gone.

Quote. The vanguard reached the southeastern outskirts of Siliguri.

After asking the thugs to deploy the defensive line, Li Dongshi immediately called for air support and artillery support, and asked for a second covering fire strike on Siliguri.

Artillery support was still the first to arrive, and the 1st Fighter Brigade remained on standby in the rear, firing as soon as it received a request.

Supporting fraternal units in combat, the 1st Defense Brigade was particularly active.

After the start of the artillery fire. Li Dongshi ran behind the troops, and the battalion of thugs following behind him immediately turned south to occupy the railway line from Djerbaigu to Gischenenja. Cutting off the main communication arteries between eastern India and the interior. This was also carried out during the offensive against Siliguri. Tasks that must be completed first.

The thugs took the lead in the battalion, but Li Dongshi still decided to let the current battalion go up to test the confidence of the Indian army.

At this time, Li Dongshi already felt that the battle against Siliguri would not be too easy.

The reason is simple, until this time. There are not a few Indian prisoners of war captured. According to the information provided by the thug brigade attacking Sikkim, the fighting spirit of the Indian army has long been blown down, and it will not resist stubbornly at all.

There are more than 30,000 Indian troops stationed in Siliguri, and if the fighting spirit collapses, how can they capture hundreds of prisoners of war.

There was no mass surrender of the Indian army. It shows that the fighting spirit of the Indian army is still very strong.

2 beaters took up the points, and the hurried artillery fire was ready to end.

As the group of obituaries reached the skies over Siliguri, the battalion immediately attacked.

In the face of a three-dimensional attack with air-ground coordination. The Indian army, guarding the southeastern defense line of Siliguri, was suddenly in a dilemma.

At that time, the Indian army deployed in Siliguri had only a small number of main battle tanks. Because it knew that the republican ** team had extremely powerful air strike capabilities, the Indian army did not deploy a few advanced tanks in a centralized manner, but organized a number of advanced tanks into old armored commandos, each of which had 4 tanks, which were stationed in various directions. To increase the survivability of the tank in the event of an air strike. The Indian army, relying on its powerful human resources, has built hundreds of tank hideouts.

As soon as the battle began, the "weeping battalion ran into trouble."

In the first round of attack, he was hit by an armor-piercing bullet from four meters away from the mouth of the otter at the front. Although Buwan, who was on a cover mission, immediately fired missiles at the Indian army's anti-tank fire point. Cover the retreat of the infantry fleeing from airborne combat vehicles. But the hoe airborne combat vehicle still suffered heavy losses. In order to prevent the vehicle from falling into the hands of the enemy, the commander activated the self-destruction mechanism on the vehicle when retreating. Fortunately, only the infantry was wounded. And they were all sent back in time.

The battle resulted in the loss of the Otter airborne vehicle. Li Dongshi's heart ached.

After letting the troops pull down. Li Dongshi sent the Zhanwu camp up, and at the same time asked the thug Yao camp to follow behind as a reserve.

The results of the second round of the offensive were not much better. Another thug was destroyed, and the Ming infantry was killed. Although Sun's three vehicles were dragged back by the accompanying chariots under the cover of air strikes, the problem of insufficient offensive strength of the airborne troops was once again exposed when facing a solid defensive position.

Lee Dong-seok was in no hurry to organize a third round of attack. Instead, artillery support was called.

The Cats, who provided air support, also withdrew after the second round of attacks. According to Li Dongshi's request. In the next round of the offensive, Bunker will carry a bombshell to clear the way for ground forces.

Shortly after the artillery fire hit the net. Scouts from the Nephew's Battalion showed up with the Indian armoured units that had appeared to the north.

The Indian army is starting to fight back!

I have to admit that the timing of the Indian army's counterattack was very accurate.

In Li Dongshi's hand, he said that the Xiaodou battalion had assembled to the north of the position, preparing to engage the Indian armored forces.

Fighting in the field is definitely more in line with Li Dongshi's appetite than fighting positional warfare.

Arguably. In offensive operations, the most desirable thing for the Airborne Forces is for the enemy to leave his position on his own initiative. Counter-impact.

The ability of the Airborne Forces to attack the fortified positions is limited, but the ability to fight field battles is not bad.

In the case of field combat, the biggest advantage of the mouth is that the ability to maneuver can be fully wielded. The maximum combat weight is only 10,000 tons, and the power plant has an output of up to 10,000 kilowatts. Thus. The tactical maneuverability of the False Army is significantly higher than that of the Indian army's main battle tanks. The superiority in the field was even more prominent.

Citing the field, the scout sent more definite news.

The Indian army that counterattacked probably had many tracked armored vehicles in the thug field. The Indian counterattack force was quick and the intention was very obvious: interspersed from north to south. Cut off the ground passage between the Airborne Forces and the Airborne Landing Field, and besiege the Airborne Forces attacking Siliguri. Then annihilate the airborne brigade together with the defenders of the position.

After receiving the news, Li Dongshi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The unit that can eat the airborne thug bow brigade in one go has not yet been born. You must know that in the Wulao Resistance Battle, the Airborne Brigade was not afraid in the face of the 2 US Marine Divisions!

After letting the thugs quickly deploy the battalion, Li Dongshi did not rush to transfer the troops of the other two battalions.

Occupy a number of vehicles in the battalion, which is enough to form an armored assault force.

What's more, Li Dongshi is not the kind of commander who likes to be brute.

As the Indian army's intentions became clear, Li Dongshi called for air support, air support in the real sense.

The "detachment of the brigade said that the small millimeter grenade hit directly, even if the armor will not be smashed through." The impact of the shell when it explodes will also destroy the tank. Kill the occupants of the tank. Aerial bombs are much more powerful than artillery shells, even if they are close to the target. It can also blow up tanks.

Of course, this round of bombardment was not mainly aimed at tanks, but against infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles that accompanied tank combat.

Out of the rack Little Fighter 7 drops the bomb. After turning to return home, Li Dongshi adjusted the strike range of artillery support.

Artillery strikes are more effective than bombardment. Tactical fighters can only drop a maximum of multiple bombs, while the first fighter can drop a few shells in a minute, and tens of thousands of shells in a short artillery strike that occupies a minute.

Of course, against the armored assault clusters of the Indian army. It takes only a few minutes of sustained shelling at most.

Ugly and clever. The shelling ended.

Because the bombardment and artillery shelling were too heavy, the Indian armoured assault units released smoke bombs when they were hit. So the scouts failed to report the strike in the first place.

Lee Dong-seok also doesn't need a scout's report. Because a blow of this magnitude is enough to wipe out the thugs after the sudden battalion counterattack. Li Dongshi led the guard squad to the front line.

Under the cover of night, dozens of vehicles divided into staggered offensive lines, and advanced northward in a row. Although the night had a great impact, the scene of the impact of the armor clusters on the empty Shannan Plain was still spectacular. As the airborne combat vehicle gradually approached the combat area, faint flashes of fire from electromagnetic guns could be heard from time to time in the distance. The sound of the cannon was muffled and dull, mainly because the distance was too far.

Seeing this scene, Li Dongshi suddenly remembered the battle of the five elders.

In the past, no one believed that the Airborne Forces could become the main combat force of the army.

Now no one can doubt the combat effectiveness of the Airborne Forces.

This round of ground fighting was also the first "armored battle" between the two warring sides in the Indian War

Although the scale is a little smaller. But the significance is significant. The reason is very simple: this battle is enough to prove that the Airborne Forces are not only a combat unit capable of flying, but also a combat unit capable of holding defensive positions, a combat unit capable of fighting bravely in an isolated environment, and a combat unit that is good at ground offensive and armored attack.

With the advancement of technology, the mass of heavy equipment is getting smaller and smaller, and the carrying capacity of transport aircraft is increasing. Sooner or later, the Airborne Forces will replace other ground forces. Become the absolute workhorse of the Army.

In fact, all the major powers are trying to promote the process of "airborne" the army.

Wait until the Army can be like the Air Force. When it is possible to attack an enemy hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away without relying on the ground road system, the army will once again become the main force in the war, and the army in the sense of legend will no longer exist.

What the airborne fighter Shao Brigade is doing at this time is to demonstrate to the world the new look of the future army!
