Soon after Zhang Zhiqi's first thug Hu Yingying was released, Ge Dongshi received a report from Fin Shan Yi that the Indian army from Hezariba had been routed. 【】

Beat a division. Li Dongshi was not surprised.

Before dawn, the scouts replied that the Indian Army's Dibi Thug Infantry Division did not have a few tanks and armored vehicles. During the daytime bombardment, most of the division's heavy equipment was blown up. What's more, the division had only about Wangkou officers and men left, a third of whom were lightly wounded. The combat effectiveness of the 1st Stripping Infantry Division can be imagined.

After having the exact information. Li Dongshi only sent a battalion of thugs over.

The Jun people beat the Wangkou people, although the troops were a little less. But the battalion of the first thugs had absolute armor superiority. There is also an advantage in assault. In the case where the main purpose is to defeat the Indian army, as long as the command structure of the Indian army is quickly eliminated. Wangkou and Indian officers and soldiers will become headless flies.

In order to allow the No. 1 Fighter Battalion to successfully complete its mission, Li Dongshi asked the reconnaissance company to dispatch unmanned tactical reconnaissance planes.

Ensure the successful completion of the assault operation. It is necessary to find the command of the Indian army as soon as possible.

In fact, there was not much difficulty at all, and the senior officers of the 1st Infantry Division did not march on foot like soldiers, and the few remaining vehicles of the division were used to carry officers from the divisional headquarters. It is not an easy task to find out the division commander from among the famous officers and soldiers. Finding a few vehicles is not a difficult task.

Of course, Li Dongshi is really ruthless.

The separate artillery battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Tseist Brigade inflicted a short round of artillery bombardment on the divisional headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division. Although limited by the combat methods of the Airborne Forces, the separate artillery battalion of the combat brigade is not equipped with electric shock guns. Rather, large-caliber mortars. But the one weighing up to a kilogram is more than enough to deal with unarmored vehicles and personnel exposed in the open area.

This round of shelling not only killed the brigadier general division commander of the Dibi thug division. It also killed more than half of the staff officers of the division headquarters.

When the first thug battalion launched a surprise attack, the vanguard of the Indian army did not receive any alarm, nor did it receive an order for battle from the division headquarters. They can only fight on their own.

In the absence of unity of command. No matter how many troops there are, it is useless.

As the casualties increased, it was difficult to contact the division headquarters. The Indian army finally collapsed in front of the armored cluster of Hungarian chopping infantry fighting vehicles of the 1st Thug Battalion.

After receiving the news, Li Dongshi immediately issued an order to the 1st thug battalion.

Except for Anlian, who pursued the Indian army and drove the Indian army out of thousands of kilometers, the rest of the companies all stopped advancing, cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew to the Ranchi defensive position.

At this time, the first thug knife sword Ming Indian army attacked.

The horn of the offensive was still sounded by the artillery battalion. After knocking out the command structure of the 1st Infantry Division by means of targeted artillery fire. Compared to the first thug infantry division. The combat effectiveness of the 1st Infantry Division was significantly stronger.

After exiting the city of Poccaro. The 1st Infantry Division was in Daramgar. That is, when it is a small town about a kilometer north of Ranchi. The armored units that opened the way in front avoided the daytime bombardment and shelling, and less than half of the armored force was blown up. Because the commander of the division gave the evacuation order in time, the main infantry that followed behind did not suffer much loss, and the whole division still had thugs like famous officers and soldiers.

4 people. The disparity in force is even greater.

Thankfully. The 1st Infantry Division was a second-line infantry division, although there were many old main battle tanks and many infantry fighting vehicles. But the performance gap is too great, and its main battle tank is... Stickers, infantry fighting vehicles for vomiting. They are all second-hand goods that the U.S. military eliminated after four years, and when they face the infantry fighting vehicles of the first thug trade battalion, they not only can't take any advantage. He is also in a situation of being beaten passively.

The bladed millimeter electromagnetic cannon equipped with the torch porridge can easily penetrate ... Clever frontal armor!

Because the blade millimeter electromagnetic cannon is an electromagnetic cannon with a company function. The density of fire is quite amazing. Therefore, when fighting, the gunner does not need to aim accurately, and often attacks the armored target in the field of vision in a short burst, without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack. What's more, Gong uses an unmanned turret, and the turret has a very fast steering degree, even if it engages 3 targets at the same time. It is also possible to grasp the advantage of firepower.

Supported by strong tactical maneuverability. Fall is capable of engaging the enemy at a degree of more than 48 kilometers per hour, and ... Even if Wang stops and fires, the hit rate will be reduced to less than that of a target with a blade of kilometers per hour, making it difficult to hit a fast-moving ground target.

From the very beginning, the battalion of the first thug Mar did not stop fighting the enemy.

Get tactical intel from the Scouts. After confirming that there are multiple armored targets. Zhang Zhixiao broke down the whole battalion into platoon-level combat units. Clearly tell each platoon commander that the patrol must always act in a constant pace, and the combat level must not be less than 3 cutting meters per hour. Even if the shelling hit rate is reduced due to the increase, it must be maintained. Break through the armored ranks of the Indian army by means of a round-trip impact, without giving the enemy any respite.

The fundamental purpose of Zhang Zhiqi's actions was to avoid excessive combat casualties.

Although the armor of the 2nd Worry was thick enough before dawn, the old 3rd Airborne Brigade was airdropped by transport planes to install early attachments, so that the armor protection of the 2nd Flower reached the highest state, but due to the low weight of the vehicle, even if the armor was not penetrated. The enormous kinetic energy of the armor-piercing bullet is still capable of injuring officers and soldiers inside the vehicle.

With the first nephew artillery battalion after completing the task of supporting several other combat battalions. Concentrated artillery bombardment

"The armored cluster of the Infantry Division of the First Battalion of the Fighter Battalion provides artillery support...

The battle, which was born south of Ramgel, lasted from 10,000 points to 8 points.

As the last Indian troops broke and fled north. Zhang Zhiqi gave the order to stop the fighting, and asked each platoon to start cleaning the battlefield on the spot and annihilating the remnants of the Indian army.

Zhang Zhiqi did not send troops to pursue the Indian army, because the town of Ramgel was to the north, and the Indian army's defensive position was to catch up

At this point, Zhang Zhiqi made a mistake. He ordered his troops to clean up the battlefield on the spot and annihilate the remnants of the Indian army. As a result, almost all platoon commanders misunderstood that they would not accept prisoners of war and execute the wounded on the battlefield who could not escape. This mistake is not uncommon in the airborne troops, mainly because the airborne troops are alone behind the enemy, not only have limited troops and materials, but also have no good way to contain and care for prisoners of war, so they rarely accept prisoners of war. For example, in the battle between Nonghei and Wulao, after the airborne thug Shao Brigade seized the position, he did not accept a single prisoner of war.

It's just that this time is different.

Pei Chengyi had already provided air support to the airborne fighter Shao Brigade, and sent Diao Ji of the Army Aviation to pick up the wounded of the airborne defense brigade, so that he could pick up the prisoners of war.

What's more, the battlenet has just ended. There must be many Indian troops near the battlefield who have not had time to report back.

When the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of Nephews began to execute wounded prisoners of war on the spot with the infantry of the Oh operation, several Indian officers and soldiers who did not flee witnessed the scene. What's worse is that. The only Indian army officer had a digital camera in his hand and captured the most brutal scenes.

Although in the post-war military tribunals. Li Dongshi personally testified for Zhang Zhiqi, explaining that the remaining Indian troops at that time did not give up resistance, and the infantry of the battalion of the first thug nephew was wounded by the wounded Indian soldiers who came to treat them with hidden grenades when they were cleaning the battlefield. Shang Xueyun also wielded his influence, so that Zhang Zhiqi and several officers of the Mingdima battalion were punished within the army, and Li Dongshi was also implicated and failed to be promoted to major general as he wished.

From another point of view, the brutal actions of the officers and men who stayed in the camp can also be understood.

Compared with several other combat battalions, the battle of the first battalion was the most tragic, not only was the battle damaged, but also five officers and soldiers were killed, of which the old man was killed in the battle-damaged tank, which also proved that as an airborne combat vehicle, the mouth ratio could not fight like a tank, and the ugly officers and men were disabled. When the battlefield was cleared, many Indian wounded soldiers did resist. According to the post-war investigation, the main reason for the desperate resistance of the wounded of the Indian army was not their willingness to fight hard, but the language barrier between the two sides, communication problems, and misunderstanding of each other's intentions. Thus taking the wrong action.

Accidental casualties due to language barriers and communication problems have existed throughout the war, and it is not uncommon. After the war situation stabilized, Pei Chengyi had to ask Xiang Linghui for help, and asked the Ministry of Culture, Science and Education to send a group of young teachers proficient in English and Hindi from various universities to follow the front-line troops to carry out combat missions.

Of course, that's all for later.

When the battalion of the first thug nephew completed the assault mission, the other 4 combat battalions also completed the assault mission, crushing the Indian troops in the other 4 directions.

Li Dongshi did not delay much time, and asked the battalions to return to their defensive positions as soon as they finished clearing the battlefield.

After only two more words, the combat units of the small strong brigade retreated to Ranchi, and after receiving a sudden blow, the morale of the Indian army was extremely low. Even if the military security put a gun to the soldier's head, the soldier was reluctant to continue south. Besides, most of the officers were also afraid of death and were not willing to risk going south.

As a last resort, the Indian army can only adjust its deployment. The assembly site was changed to Ramgel.

This deployment helped Li Dongshi a lot.

Ladigarh was about a kilometre away from the defensive position of the Airborne Brigade, and the Indian infantry took six hours to reach Ranchi from Ramgel. 6 hours is enough for Li Dongshi to do a lot of things.

More importantly, if the Indian army is concentrated in one location, Li Dongshi will be able to focus on monitoring the Indian army's build-up.

After confirming that the retreating Indian troops had gone to Ramgel, Li Dongshi arranged a new task for the reconnaissance company, and in addition to having a reconnaissance faction monitor the movements of the Indian army outside Rajgar, several other reconnaissance units withdrew to Ranchi for rest. The battle will be fought for several more days, and the combat units need to rest. Reconnaissance units also need to rest.

Of course, Lee Dong-seok did not forget the most important thing: calling for air support and focusing on bombing Ramral.

It's just that the air support that can be sent to Li Dongshi at this time is far less than the day before.

The army is attacking to the west and needs air support; Hongjun is adjusting the defensive line. need for air support; The Knife Army is assembling combat troops and needs air support; The brigade of airborne thugs stationed in Varanasi.

What's worse is that the front-line recommendation department has reduced the airdrop supply to the old airborne brigade.

The main reason is that the battle on the side of the airborne brigade has entered a white-hot state, and the Indian army has stormed Varanasi at any cost, striving to eat the airborne thugs before the arrival of the army, and the brigade has to retreat on all fronts, resisting the Indian army from all directions in the defensive position, and cannot defeat the Indian army in an active way like the airborne strong brigade.

If he can't get the airdrop supplies, Li Dongshi will have to make careful calculations.

Wait until the 6 combat battalions are withdrawn. Staff Officer Li Dongdong counted the remaining ammunition. Not very optimistic" force millimeter shells are less than a couplet, but the infantry ammunition is relatively sufficient, there is not much of a problem.

The ammunition has been counted. Li Dongshi sent a request to the front-line command again.

Since it is impossible to airdrop combat materials for the Airborne Circular Brigade, a vertical take-off and landing transport plane should be sent to pick up the seriously wounded of the Airborne Thug Shao Brigade, right?

Since the VTOL transport plane is going to fly over. You can't come empty-handed, you have to bring something over.

This time, Li Dongshi didn't ask for medical supplies. Rather, it was a shell.

In order to get more shells, Li Dongshi counted the lightly wounded as the seriously wounded. As a result, the whole brigade was seriously wounded. At least a hand-punched millimeter shell is needed, that is, BSP; For the basic requirements of the Airborne 10,000 3 Brigade, the front command did not refuse.

At noon, the 2nd concubine of the force frame came to Ranchi with a rainbow ton of ammunition. After unloading the ammunition. Only one seriously injured person was carried into the cabin, and the rest of the minor casualties, who were counted as seriously wounded, volunteered

Under.

On this day, both sides invariably turned their focus to Varanasi.

On the surface. The two sides are fighting with all their might for ground access to the west, in fact. Both sides have their own sayings that the Xiaonai Brigade has caused more combat casualties, and it is impossible to completely annihilate and airborne! It is even more unlikely that the brigade will be able to recapture Varanasi before the arrival of the troops.

The main purpose of the Indian army is clear: to force Pei Chengyi to turn his focus to Varanasi, reduce the support for the strong brigade of airborne fighters, and create an opportunity for the Indian army to concentrate its forces on Ranchi.

In response to this deployment of the Indian army, Pei Chengyi adopted the strategy of counting the calculations.

On the morning of the morning, in addition to preparing for the annihilation of the First Army, Pei Chengyi put all the air support and fire support in Varanasi, and even the carrier-based aviation units participated in combat operations to support Varanasi. It can be said that the support that day was greater than that of Ranchi.

When adjusting the special reinforcement force, Yuan Chenhao suggested that a second brigade be sent to Varanasi.

Pei Chengyi did not adopt this suggestion, because doing so was equivalent to having no three hundred taels of silver here.

It seems that it is reasonable to send reinforcements to Varanasi, after all, the airborne brigade only has many officers and soldiers at the mouth of the lamp, and it may not be able to hold Varanasi, and even if it can be held, the casualties will be very large. As a matter of fact. The troops that are advancing towards Varanasi are the reinforcements sent by Pei Chengyi, and the troops will definitely reach Varanasi in time. In this way, Pei Chengyi will put a second reinforcement force into Varanasi, which is a bit too much.

On the other hand, if Pei Chengyi was a commander with mediocre abilities, he would do it.

It is impossible for the Indian commander not to know Pei Chengyi's ability, and he would not think that Pei Chengyi will reinforce Varanasi again.

As long as Pei Chengyi threw a second reinforcement into Varanasi, his tactical intentions would be questioned. So that the Indian army was more cautious in the Ranchi direction.

Keeping reserves, and keeping several reserves, can make the Indian commander think wildly.

I have to admit that Pei Chengyi's decision. Let the airborne Kou Lin suffer enough.

In just one morning, the old airborne brigade repelled the Indian army's daily attack. Although the Indian army was wiped out in the battle, and the positions were littered with the corpses of Indian officers and soldiers, the air brigade also paid a heavy price. The largest proportion of casualties is not among soldiers, but among rank-and-file officers. In order to stabilize the grassroots troops, the brigade commander of the old airborne brigade promoted the company commander and the platoon commander of the sword name in the form of battlefield appointment on the morning of the same day.

At noon, while the exhausted Indian army withdrew to attack the assembly site, the air strike and artillery fire reached **.

In order to let the officers and men of the airborne brigade breathe a sigh of relief, the front-line command was in 2 catties. As they were fighting, the supporting units threw nearly 10,000 tons of ammunition at the Indian troops on the outskirts of Varanasi.

With such a dense firepower, the effect is extraordinary.

The officers and men of the old airborne brigade were given a two-hour rest and returned to their positions. It took two hours to wait for the first attack of the Indian army.

The afternoon battle continued until the old point was divided, and it was almost dark that the Indian army withdrew after the first unsuccessful attack.

At this point, the number of dead officers and men of the Airborne Fighter Brigade rose to 2 and the number of disabled officers and men increased to Pengren, except for the non-war cattle personnel who had not yet taken up arms and taken up their positions. Almost all the officers and men of the brigade were wounded.

After dark, the gunfire in Varanasi was not over.

Since the first reserve divisions to Ranchi could only arrive at night, the Indian army would certainly storm Varanasi before then, and at the same time make every effort to hold back the outgoing army.

In response to this situation, Wei Chengyi adjusted his deployment that night.

In addition to letting the troops speed up the assault. Pei Chengyi asked the old air assault brigade to take advantage of the cover of night to seize the military points on the route of the march. Blocking the besieging Indian army. Of course. Pei Chengyi did not forget to provide more combat materials for the airborne brigade.

No matter how you fight in the back, the airborne thugs must hold Varanasi!
