The dawn of the heart pierces the square sky. [No pop-up novel network] according to the order of the vast Ganges plain thugs. A dull sound of rolling thunder came from afar, and the tank column of the 1st Panzer Division, which was advancing along the road line towards Gissengenje, suddenly stopped. The tank commander, who was at the head of the line, lifted the hatch and looked ahead with a telescope. Although nothing unusual can be seen on the plains as far as the eye can see. But the tank commander was very uneasy. Too calm, a little too calm. Climb over the hill ahead and you'll find Gischengenje on the east bank of the Ilam River. So far, it has not encountered the blocking troops of the Sword Army, is it that the 77th Army intends to defend Kyschengenje?

When the tank commander picked up the communicator, he glanced to the north again when he connected to the battalion headquarters.

The rolling thunder is getting closer and louder.

Not normal, very abnormal.

It wasn't the sound of nature, it wasn't the sound of an aircraft.

Shelling!

When the tank commander looked up sharply, he saw an overwhelming amount of artillery shells and ammunition.

The first artillery brigade, the mouth artillery battalion, and the old set of electromagnetic cannon systems are in the middle of the trajectory of the hand, that is, the middle of the trajectory, the attitude control motor ignition work; The artillery shell flew in outer space in a parabolic trajectory of less than a thousand meters, and then under the impetus of the attitude control motive, it entered the atmosphere with an extremely steep trajectory and smashed straight into the Indian armored units on the ground at an angle close to a right angle; Under the control of a time fuse with an error of only milliseconds, the shells designed to hit armored targets threw anti-armor submunitions at a height from the ground to the meters, and the shells used to hit exposed personnel and semi-armored targets threw submunitions at a height from the ground meters to meters; After the motor of the reverse thrust rocket is reduced, all kinds of submunitions lock on to the target within four milliseconds, and then under the impetus of the rocket booster engine, they will smash into the target at a degree of more than one meter per second. Although there will definitely be multiple submunitions attacking the same target due to the short-term search and locking time, it is still possible to destroy all targets within the shelling coverage and complete the shelling mission when the shelling density is large enough; It took a total of 2 minutes from the time the artillery opened fire to the time when the submunitions dropped by the shells hit the Indian armored aircraft group, and the Indian tank commander heard not the sound of the shells flying or the sound of the shells re-entering the atmosphere, but the sound of the artillery firing about a kilometer away. Because when the electromagnetic cannon attacks a very close target in a curved manner, the projectile is fired vertically, and the trajectory is extremely curved, so the average flight of the shell is a double of the sound, and it still reaches the target later than the sound. It has to be said that this is one of the defects of the electromagnetic gun that needs to be improved.

The heavy artillery fire covered the vanguard of the 1st Armored Division, and also the vanguard of the 1st Infantry Division that followed closely behind. After a short burst of fire from the fighters, the 7th Artillery Brigade took out 4 combat battalions of 2 main divisions of the Indian Army.

The god of war, artillery deserved.

Before the smoke of gunpowder that hung over the heads of the vanguard of the Indian army had dissipated, the reconnaissance combat vehicles ambushed on the anticline of the hand mound in front of the road gave the signal to attack.

Reconnaissance vehicles with the two "eyes" of millimeter-wave radar and far-red column detection can accurately grasp the battlefield situation through the smoke of gunpowder, and use the high tactical data link to accurately display the scenes "seen" by the reconnaissance vehicles in front of friendly troops at all levels. The defeat of the vanguard of the Indian army was the signal for the offensive.

At 6 o'clock, the ground had just stopped shaking after the shelling, and the first sword-fighting armored assault battalion and the first knife-edge mechanized infantry battalion of the first sword-cutting armored assault brigade were in the roar of the tracks running over the sandy ground, crossed the hill in front of them, and attacked the left flank of the Indian armored cluster from the east bank of the Ilam River.

In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, Ling Yunxiao arranged an engineering battalion and set up a concealed position for the vanguard of the First Armored Assault Brigade. After entering the concealed positions, the officers and men of the two battalions covered all the vehicles with camouflage nets capable of countering radar and infrared detection devices. In order to minimize early exposure. All night, the officers and men of the 2 battalions stayed in the tank, and without the consent of the superior commander, they had to pull the feces and urine in the crotch of their pants. The individual combat system has a waste collection system, so officers and soldiers do not have to worry about the problem of Lazar.

As the armored cluster rushed up the hill, artillery fire began to extend to the rear of the Indian troops, guided by scouts.

At the forefront was the First Knife Fighter Armored Assault Battalion, with several main battle tanks parked on the ridgeline at the same time. After scanning the battlefield with observation and sighting equipment, and now there were no armored targets worth using millimeter electromagnetic guns to deal with, many of the main battle tanks once again fired at full speed, rushed down the hill as fast as possible, and advanced to the rear of the Indian army along the open area between the highway line and the river bank line, leaving the task of cleaning the battlefield to the 77th mechanized infantry battalion accompanying the operation.

Because the shelling was too fierce, after the arrival of the 1st Knife Edge Mechanized Infantry Battalion, only the main force of the Thug Armored Assault Brigade was left, and as the vanguard assault force, the 1st Knife Edge Mechanized Infantry Battalion was not obliged to stay and clean up the battlefield.

Until this time, the commanders of the Indian Army's 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division did not know what was going on in front of them

Due to ammunition limitations, the artillery bombardment of the 1st Gong Artillery Brigade covered only 2 Indian divisions, and did not hit the weak armored division and the 1st Tun Infantry Division, which followed behind the 1st Fighter Infantry Division.

Even so, the Indian Army's 1st Armored Division and 1st Mountain Infantry Division were still in chaos at the first time.

Now after contacting the troops, the commander of the Indian Army's 1st Armored Division thought that he was being hit by "Dogura Force, and he didn't know at all that it was the A Assault Brigade that was engaged in the battle, to be precise, the 2 battalions of the 1st Knife Fighter Armored Assault Brigade with full support from artillery."

Mom at 6 o'clock. The gun-tip strike stopped abruptly.

As if seeing a glimmer of hope, the Indian army immediately adjusted its deployment and quickly evacuated the armored forces gathered on the road line.

The Indian army did not know that the 1st Gong Artillery Brigade had to stop shelling until the end of the fighting, except for the 3 artillery battalions belonging to the 1st State Armored Assault Brigade. The assault force was not supported by other artillery fire.

There is no other reason: there is not enough ammunition.

From 6 points to 6 points, in just a few minutes, the 1st Daohong Bao Brigade carried out 6 quick shots of fighters in minutes, consumed ammunition and left a surplus, and a total of stew. In other words, the 7th Artillery Brigade consumed 2 tons of supplies supplied the night before in just the old minutes.

The ammunition consumption of an artillery brigade is still so staggering, no wonder Pei Chengyi thinks about logistics supply first.

Fortunately, the Indian commander made the most wrong decision in the panic.

After the end of the shelling, there is an armored battle, and the most important thing in an armored battle is to concentrate forces.

Regardless of the difference in the performance of the weapons of the two warring sides, unless the Indian army gives up attacking Gissengenja and is stationed on the spot, it will have to concentrate its forces to attack northward. The dispersion of forces will only lead to the further dispersion of the Indian armored forces, which did not have much numerical superiority, and will be dispersed and annihilated by the Tiche Armored Assault Brigade that took the initiative to attack.

Because the performance of Bikou 2 is at most the same as that of the main battle tanks of the Dish Yin series, it is much worse than the Dish Yin, using a more vivid analogy, the gap between the slack and the introduction is just like the Iraqi army and the US army in the Gulf War at the beginning of the century... The gap between the mountains is the same, so in the case of an active offensive, the Indian army should concentrate its armored forces, try to gain a force advantage on the local battlefield, and make up for the performance gap through the strength advantage.

In other words, after the shelling is over, the Indian commander should not give the order to evacuate and hide. Instead, we should concentrate our armored forces to assault northward, and there are only a number of main battle tanks from the first knife fighter armored assault battalion from inside, even if you add the knife and many main battle tanks of the first knife mechanized infantry battalion in the back, there are only many in total, which is equivalent to 2 armored battalions of the Indian army. If the armored forces of the 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division are concentrated. The strength of the troops is more than double that of the vanguard of the armored assault brigade of the first state. Even if the old frontal armor of the dish 3 can resist a few shots of poor sodium armor-piercing shells, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the flanks when besieged by the opponent, and it is very likely to be pierced through the side armor.

It is also reasonable for Indian commanders to make mistakes.

Because they could not accurately grasp the battlefield situation, and even did not know what was happening ahead, the Indian army commander could not accurately judge the battle situation and therefore could not make correct battlefield decisions.

With the situation at that time, the first thing that the Indian commander thought of was that the entire Sword Army would go south, concentrate his forces to annihilate the Indian Army's Southern Corps, which was composed of 4 main divisions, and then move his division westward to attack the Western Corps led by 2 main divisions. If this is the case, the 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division will definitely not be able to stop the Sword Army, let alone defeat the Sword Army in the offensive battle, the only option that the Indian Army can choose is to evacuate, try to delay the degree of the Knife Army's advance to the south, send a request for support to the Western Army, wait until the Western Army arrives, and follow the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division behind the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division to adjust their condition, and then join forces with friendly forces to encircle and annihilate the Knife Army that takes the initiative to attack, and achieve the final victory.

Judging by this line of thinking, the main task of the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division was to stabilize the battle line

The problem is that in order to stabilize the battle line against the sword army, which is particularly good at assault combat, it is necessary to strengthen the density of troops on the defensive line rather than disperse the armored forces. In other words, the commander of the Indian army failed to accurately judge the combat effectiveness of the sword army, and even did not know the combat characteristics of the sword army.

In assault combat, the combat effectiveness of the sword army can be wielded to the extreme.

Although the four main divisions of the Indian army with a total strength of more than 70,000 were eliminated in the battle of the Battle Field, the main task of the Knife Army was not to annihilate the First Army of the Indian Army, but to hold Gischengenj in the early stage of the campaign, that is, in the first two days. Ling Yunxiao chose to take the initiative to attack, but also wanted to use the attack to delay the enemy's advance and delay the enemy outside of Gischengenje. It can be seen from this that the First Knife Armored Assault Brigade has no reason to fight a frontal war of attrition with the Indian Army's 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mountain Infantry Division, but will use the powerful fast assault capability of the Armored Assault Brigade to attack the Indian army's defense line. The Dizhou Armored Assault Brigade killed a few back and forth on the battlefield, and no matter how many Indian troops were annihilated, as long as it thwarted the spirit of the Indian army, it could make the Indian army stop south of Gischenenje.

The tactical intent of the First Armored Assault Brigade can also be seen in the platoon and formation.

The Indian army advanced along the road line from Brnia to Gissengenj, and the First Armored Assault Brigade concentrated its forces on the left side of the road, that is, on the plain between the road and the Ilam, and deployed reconnaissance forces only on the right side of the road, and did not use a pincer offensive to encircle the Indian army, but lined up its troops in a long line. It is to reduce the width of the frontal assault, increase the input of troops at the assault points, and let the assault troops take turns to charge into battle and attack in a continuous manner, without giving the Indian army any chance to fight back. Attacking in this way, when retreating, you can quickly change the forward line of defense, the forward becomes the rearguard, the rear becomes the forward, and the Indian army can leave the battlefield before it can react.

There is no doubt that the key point of the entire offensive can be used in one word: "The thug armored assault battalion and the 7th mechanized infantry battalion did not clean the battlefield, but they did not want to delay the attack."

Jiao Bi divided, the first knife fighter armored assault battalion encountered the main force of the 1st armored division.

While. When the tank cluster appeared, the Indian army was evacuating, and some Indian troops even regarded the introduction of main battle tanks as a slack to withdraw from the front line. It was not that the Indian commander did not send reconnaissance guard units, but that the advance of the armored assault battalion of the first cut thugs was too fast. It has to be said that the Indian officers and men of the 1st Armored Division have been in disarray, and instead of introducing a standard fully automatic turret tank, the Bikou 2 still uses a manned turret, and there is a clear difference in the appearance of the two. What's more, the lax is a main battle tank that is more important than stewed. And the dish is a king-ton main battle tank, and the blocks of the two are not on the same level at all. Even those who did not serve in the army could accurately distinguish between the two tanks, and the Indian officers and soldiers failed to make a correct judgment.

In any case, by the time the Indian commander realized the problem, it was too late to adjust the deployment.

The tanks of the First Knife Fighter Armored Assault Battalion were divided into three units, with the long vehicles in the center responsible for dealing with frontal targets and the wingmen on both sides responsible for dealing with flanking targets, so as to ensure that the formation would not be attacked from the flank direction. Because the millimeter electromagnetic cannon fired at the interval of the march to the point of every minute, it was more than twice that of the slack, and the actual combat fire was close to three times that of the slack, so in the head-on battle, "the firepower of the vehicle is as high as that of three vehicles." Even if only one tank in a combat unit is used against a frontal target, the safety of the entire combat unit is ensured.

After rushing into the Indian position, the first knife fighter armored assault battalion rushed into the Indian position at the same degree.

Because the mechanized infantry battalion had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of dealing with the enemy's anti-tank fighters, the 1st Knife Edge Mechanized Infantry Battalion used tanks and vehicles to cover 2 or 3 tanks, with tanks against heavily armored targets and tanks against dispersed personnel.

As soon as the forward troops rushed over, the main forces of the First Cut armored assault brigade arrived.

Unlike the task of the vanguard, the task of the main force is to annihilate the remaining enemy on the battlefield and expand the results.

It seems that the 1st Knife Fighter Armored Assault Brigade has given an order to replace the forward troops with the 1st Knife Armored Assault Battalion and the 1st Knife Old Mechanized Infantry Battalion, thereby temporarily halting the advance of the two battalions rushing forward.

Letting each battalion take turns to fight in a dagger formation is also an effective way to preserve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In high-intensity battles, the physical exertion of officers and men is very staggering. Because the troops had been in combat for a long time yesterday evening, the officers and men had long been exhausted. What's worse is that the Sword Army does not have a campaign reserve in the three directions, and each brigade must prepare a campaign reserve for itself. If some troops are allowed to fight too tired, it will definitely have a great impact on the defensive operations in the future. The best thing to do is to have the battalions take turns and keep the whole brigade in high spirits.

The replacement of the strikers did not have much impact on the offensive of the Tice armored assault brigade.

At 7 o'clock, the 1st Knife Edge Armored Assault Battalion and the 1st Knife Infantry Battalion broke through the position of the 1st Armored Division and began to advance towards the main position of the 1st Mountain Infantry Division.

It has to be said that it is much more difficult to fight prepared infantry than unprepared armored soldiers.

When the First Armored Division suffered a devastating blow, the commander of the First Mountain Infantry Division quickly issued a defensive combat order, allowing all the officers and men of the division to build defensive positions on the spot. Although the Indian infantry could not build trenches in such a short period of time, relying on the not weak armored force and the relatively open defensive area, the Indian infantry still entered the defensive state as quickly as possible and was ready to meet the armored assault force.

The defensive deployment of the Indian army did not escape the surveillance of the tactical reconnaissance force of the A Assault Brigade.

Throughout the operation, reconnaissance combat vehicles sent by the reconnaissance battalion of the First Knife Fighter armored assault brigade have been operating in front of the forward troops, while unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have been accompanying the forward troops. Provide battlefield information to the forward troops at any time and help the forward troops find a breakthrough in the enemy's defensive line.

At 7 o'clock, the 1st Knife Armored Assault Battalion and the 1st Knife Old Mechanized Infantry Battalion joined the forward force.

To attack infantry defensive positions, it is necessary to increase the width of the frontal attack so that the scattered infantry cannot support each other, and also to form cross-strike fire with anti-tank weapons to ensure that the assault troops are not attacked from the flanks.

It seemed that the investment was not enough, and after 8 o'clock, after the forward broke through the defensive line of the No. 1 Mountain Infantry Division, the old armored assault battalion of the first knife and the armored assault battalion of the first knife joined the forward troops, expanding the breakthrough outward from both sides of the main assault force and increasing the width of the frontal assault.

After hitting about 8 o'clock, Ling Yunxiao gave the retreat order to the A Assault Brigade.

Within two hours, the First Knife Fighter Armoured Assault Brigade had struck south about a kilometer along the banks of the Ilam River, and at one point the reconnaissance vehicles sent out had reached a distance of only a kilometer from Burnia.

When the First Knife Fighter Armored Assault Brigade turned to retreat, the reinforcements that the Indian commander was counting on did not arrive.

At the same time that the First Armored Division and the Mountain Infantry Division were attacked, the Concave Armored Division and the Infantry Division from Alaria were also attacked.

In the case of its own insecurity, what will the Western Army take to support the Southern Army?
