Shizhi Air Force Base. 【Reading Network】The neatly lined up airborne troops in the battle 16 continued to be a small fighter of Dengbu.

After the last soldier boarded the plane, Lieutenant Colonel Li Dongshi pushed Zhang Zhiqi, who was standing next to him, and let the battalion chief of staff climb onto the transport plane, and then he also boarded the transport plane.

"Lao Li, you've been very angry these days, have you eaten too much spicy comb?"

"Who eats too much spicy board?"

Zhang Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, and smiled boredly.

"Fasten your seatbelts and check all your weapons and equipment."

Amid the roar of motivation, Li Dongshi, who had been promoted to battalion commander, still checked the weapons and equipment of each soldier one by one, as he did when he was a squad leader.

Looking at Li Dongshi's back, Zhang Zhiqi shook his head, thinking that Li Dongshi had taken the wrong medicine.

In Zhang Zhituo's view, the performance of Li Dongshi, who is "proud of the spring breeze", is very abnormal in the past few days.

After the end of the Japanese war, Li Dongshi was promoted and became the most promising battalion commander of the airborne expansion brigade. It's not just about his performance on the battlefield, it's also about his academic qualifications. You must know that the airborne brigade does not yet have a battalion commander who has obtained a master's degree. In anyone's eyes, Li Dongshi has a "bright future", and some people even joke that after the New Year, Li Dongshi will become the first chief of general staff of the republic with a master's degree.

Although this is just a joke, Li Dongshi is really good at mixing.

There have been achievements in my career, and I have also borne fruit in love.

After the return of Taiwan to the embrace of the motherland, the government introduced many policies to "reassure the people and benefit the people", including encouraging residents on both sides of the strait to intermarry. Although the military is very strict in examining "Taiwan-related marriages" and stipulates that only military personnel who meet certain standards are qualified to "marry a Taiwanese wife," Li Dongshi's conditions for being promoted to battalion commander are fully qualified, and his "marriage application" submitted by him has also been successfully approved, and Ji Li married the female nurse who had helped him heal his injuries at the end of the year. Zhang Zhituo had already prepared red envelopes, and the other officers in the battalion and a large number of veterans who followed Li Dongshi to participate in the Japanese war were ready to drink the battalion commander's wedding wine.

Love and career double harvest, Li Dongshi can be described as "full of merit"

In Zhang Zhiqi's view, no matter what, Li Dongshi should not "take the wrong medicine", as long as this battle is fought well, Li Dongshi is very likely to be transferred back to the brigade headquarters as an operational staff officer, and then he will not only be able to see a brighter future, but also spend more time on his newlywed wife. That feeling is like a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea.

Zhang Zhiqi didn't understand Li Dongshi's emotional changes because Zhang Zhiqi didn't understand Li Dongshi's past.

After graduating from university, Lee Dong-seok gave up his high-paying job and went to the barracks to work in camouflage for his youth, which was directly related to India, because his elder brother Lee Dong-hae was killed in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, which gave him the dream of becoming a pilot. The pilot did not become a pilot, Li Dongshi became an airborne soldier, and he was the best airborne soldier in the republic.

The old years are enough time to dilute everything.

If it weren't for this sudden war, if it weren't for the fact that the Airborne Brigade was ordered to participate in combat operations, if it weren't for the fact that Li Dongshi had been promoted to battalion commander, there would have been too many ifs, as long as any of them had changed, Li Dongshi would not have been like this.

Arriving at Nyingchi Air Base, Li Dongshi couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

War was not a personal vendetta, but in his opinion, it was the war provoked by India that changed his fate by taking away his only brother.

Li Dongshi never regretted not joining the army, but he will never forget the pain of losing his brother.

If it weren't for Li Donghai secretly tearing up the university admission letter and leaving the precious opportunity to his younger brother, Li Dongshi would not have become the first college student in the village, and he would not have had the opportunity to get ahead. Because of the early death of his parents, from childhood to adulthood, Li Donghai has been taking care of his younger brother who is three years younger than him like a father. Li Dongshi will not forget the kindness of his brother, let alone the hatred of losing the last blood relative.

Hatred can make people angry, but it can also make people confused.

With a slight shake, the transport plane left the runway and rose into the night sky.

Li Dongshi returned to his seat and fastened his seat belt.

"Li He..."

"Convey combat missions to the companies." Li Dongshi did not chat with Zhang Zhiqi, "There has been no change in the combat plan, and each company must act according to the plan." ”

Zhang Zhikai sighed and put the tactical communication equipment on his lap.

Through the tactical data sharing system, any unit can keep abreast of the battlefield situation. In general, the units are concerned only with tactical information related to the combat mission. The thug battalion commanded by Li Dongshi was responsible for supporting the assault force attacking the Guwahati air base, so he only had to care about the fighting situation on the Guwahati side.

Although it was supported by the 6th Air Force, the offensive of the assault forces was still not very smooth.

The main thing is that the assault forces do not have heavy equipment.

On low-altitude battlefields, the airborne combat vehicle can be hoisted and dismantled by external means and the mass is reduced to a nap, but on the high-altitude battlefield, the lifting capacity of the multi-numa is reduced by nearly one-third, and even if the airborne combat vehicle is disassembled into two parts, it cannot be lifted vigorously. As a result, the assault force had to rely on small arms to fight some vehicles without armor protection.

The timely arrival of the airborne fighters is directly related to the prejudice of the combat operation of the capture of the air base:

The airbase must be captured before the Indian army can react and destroy the runway, and at least one runway must be held to allow Zejing to take off and land smoothly. If you can hold a runway that is as long as a meter, you can let Ze Ether bring more heavy equipment, and even send the artillery battalion in advance. According to the battle plan, "Intermittent." The time is stone minutes.

During this period, the assault force must first seize an O-meter-long runway to allow the transport aircraft carrying the airborne thugs to land smoothly. As soon as the first units with airborne combat vehicles arrive on the battlefield, things will be much easier. At least the main battle tanks and anti-tank weapons of the Indian army have no effect in front of the airborne combat vehicles, and the assault troops and airborne troops do not have to attack under the fire of the Indian army.

During this period, the Air Force will also carry out the second largest scale bombing.

The battle was fierce, and Sergeant Yue Yue, who was the first to arrive at Guwahati Air Base, was busy dealing with the Indian counterattack.

"You have to keep it, even if you fight it out, you have to keep it for me. Long Yufei, listen to me, if you can't hold it, Lao Tzu will bring someone over to defend the line for you, understand? ”

"Yes, hold the line."

Sheng Jiayu gritted his teeth and called the warrior who was following behind his ass over. "Immediately take five people to Long Yufei's place."

"Head, it's just the two of us now."

"The two of us?" Sheng Jiayu glanced around, and it was indeed only the two of them.

"Two minutes ago, you sent the last shift up."

"Damn, looks like we've got it." Sheng Jiayu picked up the rifle in front of his chest, "Bring more ammunition and bring anti-tank rockets."

"Head

"The airborne troops will arrive in half an hour, and we must hold the runway."

Amid the sound of gunfire one after another, Sheng Jiayu rushed into the smoke that shrouded the airport with the last soldier.

It has to be admitted that the counterattack of the Indian army was very fierce.

The thugs were an assault battalion, and in less than a minute, all the reserves were dispatched, which must have been what everyone imagined.

You must know that during the Peninsula War, "an airborne battalion can fight an infantry division of the South Korean army!"

It's not that the Indian army is stronger than the South Korean army, but the situation on the battlefield is completely different.

If Sheng Jiayu had a few airborne combat vehicles in his hands, the result would have been very different. The key factor that led to the inability of airborne combat vehicles to reach the battlefield at the first time was due to the harsh terrain conditions, and it can even be said that the 6th Army did not airdrop airborne troops to the battlefield, which also had a lot to do with the geographical environment of the battlefield. The Guwahati airbase is built on a flat piece of mountainside land, with a steep mountain wall hundreds of meters high to the north and a cliff hundreds of meters deep to the south. In mountainous areas, the direction of air flow at night is very complex, and no one can measure it accurately.

Even if you land, it is very difficult.

When Sheng Jiayu led the troops to arrive, Michen did not succeed in landing, and only sent the troops to the ground after pulling up the go-around. It was this that led to the assault force being assembled for too long, failing to control the eastern line of defense before the Indian army could react, and being forced to defend when the Indian army counterattacked.

It can be seen from this that the Republic has been negotiating with India for several years, and it has not been in a hurry to use force, and it is also a last resort.

If the geographical conditions were a little better, I am afraid that the armored iron flow of the republic would have already crossed the Himalayas and appeared on the Gangetic plain.

This is also the main reason for the selection of airborne troops by the 6 Army.

If even the "light and flexible" airborne forces are not able to complete the combat mission, then the armored forces that fight with behemoths weighing several tons will not be able to complete the task.

The tragic battle of Guwahati can be regarded as the first trouble encountered by the republican ** team.

Thousands of kilometers away, Pei Chengyi, who had information on the battlefield, immediately adjusted the strike action, and put the Air Force and the 6th Air Force into reserve to provide air support for the assault force attacking the Guwahati Air Base, and must crush the Indian army that was counterattacking before the airborne troops arrived.

Hand pick-up... The wounded were the first to arrive, using bombs and shells to form an impassable line of fire in front of the Indian army.

A few minutes later, Xiaofu fighters arrived one after another, blocking the Indian reinforcements who were rushing to the line of fire with heavy bombs and incendiary bombs, making the Indian army's counterattack the end of the crossbow.

The staggering intensity of the air strikes fundamentally broke the will of the Indian army to resist.

You know, until this time, the fighters of the Indian Air Force have not appeared on the battlefield!

As the group of airborne fighters arrived over the air base, Sheng Jiayu withdrew from the line of fire with several fighters and guided the transport planes to 6.

Reinforcements arrived, and the counterattack of the Indian army could no longer pose a threat.
