Listen to Bundesliga time. After hours of hasty preparations, the group crossed the India-Pakistan border and advanced towards Kasur.

The Pakistani Kasur Corps, which was on standby, engaged the Indian army.

The three Pakistani divisions are against the Indian divisions, because the Pakistani army follows the Republic Army in terms of establishment, and its division-level units are equivalent to the military-level units of the Republic Army, so the scale of the Pakistani army division is much larger than that of the Indian army division, and the total strength of the two sides is not much different. In the battle of the Legion Born west of Kasur, the most noteworthy thing was the "Count-Peak Duel" between the 7th Armored Division of the Pakistani Army and the 2 Armored Divisions of the Indian Army.

In South Asia, the 7th Armored Division of the Pakistani Army can be said to be prestigious.

As one of the first armored units formed after the establishment of Pakistan, the predecessor of the 7th Armored Division. That is, the 7th Armored Brigade participated in the First Indo-Pakistani War and the Second Indo-Pakistani War, and was reorganized into the 7th Armored Division before the Third Indo-Pakistani War. In the battle to defend Lahore, 2 Indian armoured divisions were routed. Because the scale of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War was very limited, the 7th Panzer Division did not show much. All along, the 7th Panzer Division was deployed in Punjab Province, and its main task was to defend Lahore. After the conflict in southern Tibet, relations between India and Pakistan intensified, and the 7th Armored Division was transferred from Lahore to Gojra, and the deployment of the Bar Army, which was transformed from a front-line guard unit to a strategic mobile force, can also show the fear of a surprise attack by the Indian army. Among the five main armored divisions of the Pakistani army, the 7th armored division is second only to the thug armored division guarding the capital Islamabad in terms of scale and equipment quality, and is the absolute main force of the Pakistan army.

Because after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the establishment system of the Republic Army was fully referenced, so the 7th Armored Division differed except in its name. The strength of the division is almost exactly the same as that of the Republic's heavily armored divisions. There are a total of 7 brigades in the division, namely the 1st Tank Brigade equivalent to the armored brigade of the Republic Army, the 1st Knife and 1st Armored Brigade equivalent to the armored assault brigade of the Republic Army, the 1st Infantry Brigade equivalent to the Republic Army's mechanized infantry brigade, the 1st Artillery Brigade, the 1st Wounded Logistics Brigade and the 1st Knife Air Defense Brigade. In terms of equipment, the 7th Panzer Division is also fully on par with the Republic Army, except that it cannot obtain the most advanced ones. Do not lead the main battle tank with. In addition to the fart infantry fighting vehicle, its main battle equipment has fully reached the fifth-generation standard. The equipment of the four combat brigades has been improved on the basis of the main battle tanks. In response to the needs of the Pakistan Army, the original millimeter smoothbore cannon was replaced by the Millimeter Electrothermochemical Cannon of the Fighters, the more powerful air conditioning was adopted, the adaptability of the observation and sighting equipment in the tropical desert area was improved, and the ammunition supply system and logistics support system that were more suitable for the quality of the personnel of the Pakistan Army were adopted. The comprehensive combat capability is not much different from that of the Zhao vehicle, and the "Mejpava" armored personnel carrier is developed and produced by Pakistan itself, which can carry an infantry squad of Ming infantry, accompanied by armored cluster combat vehicles, and other old combat vehicles; The artillery brigade has a total of 6 independent artillery battalions, equipped with 6 sets of electromagnetic guns imported from the Republic, each of which has only two electromagnetic guns; The logistics brigade has more than four vehicles of various types; In addition to the vehicles used to transport materials and personnel and provide food and beverage support, there are also 7 otters and . an armored repair vehicle with a shared chassis; The main armament of the air defense brigade is the long-range air defense system of the "Red Flag Lead" type and the "Kaishanyu" of the ugly suit. type of short-range air defense system, because there was no threat from the air, the air defense brigade did not accompany the operation.

In addition to hard power, the soft power of the 7th Panzer Division is also very strong.

In the case of fully emulating the Republic Army, the Pakistan Army not only attaches importance to the armored strength of the troops, but also attaches more importance to the information command system of the troops. At that time, Pei Chengyi served as a military adviser in Pakistan, and his main job was to make Pakistani soldiers understand the importance of the information command system, help the Pakistani army master the modern information command system, and flexibly apply the information command system in combat. Although the information command system of the Pakistan Army is far worse than that of the Republic Army, especially in terms of cooperative combat capability, the Pakistan Army still has a long way to go, but in the face of the Indian Army, the information command system of the Pakistan Army is very advanced, and there is no major problem in the ability of cooperative operations.

In terms of comprehensive combat capability, the 7th Panzer Division surpassed any Indian Armoured Division.

In the face of 2 Indian armored divisions belonging to the second-line army, Pakistan's No. 1 Bupei Division was particularly confident from the beginning.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Pakistan Army did not buy the main battle tanks, and the Indian Army Armored Division was also very confident when it encountered the 7th Armored Division. Chuan Qiao can't beat the sixth-generation main battle tank. lead, in front of Tian Yin, who belongs to the fifth-generation main battle tank, it will not fall to the point where he has no power to fight back. At least in the case of reciprocity, "the millimeter sodium-piercing bullets used by the cleverly used thugs can pose a threat to the dish lead."

Both sides are confident that a vicious battle is inevitable.

It's just that the Indian army doesn't know that it is not the Pakistani General Staff that assists the 7th Armored Division in the rear. Rather, it was a front-line command command commanded by Pei Chengyi.

Before the battle began, the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army had a telephone conversation with Pei Chengyi, hoping that the front command could provide support to the Pakistani army in the Kasur direction. Although the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army did not say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear, that is, to let Pei Chengyi serve as the commander-in-chief of the campaign. To this end, the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army sent an operational staff officer to lead a number of old coordinating officers to the front-line command headquarters to assist Pei Chengyi in commanding the operation.

The chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army also hopes that the Pakistani army can be in Kasurdong

Pei Chengyi did not refuse, nor did he directly command the battle.

In his opinion, this kind of battle without much suspense does not need to be personally commanded by him at all. Pei Chengyi also hoped to use this opportunity to train the staff officers of the front-line command and give Yuan Chenhao more opportunities to perform, so he lost the tactical command work to Yuan Chenhao. Although the operational staff of the Pakistani army was a little dissatisfied, after all, on issues related to Pakistan's interests, Pei Chengyi let a colonel officer call the shots, which was somewhat of a joke, but the operational staff of the Pakistani army did not say much, after all, Yuan Chenhao was the deputy commander-in-chief of the front, and when Pei Chengyi commanded the Peninsula War, he was also a colonel officer.

It seemed that he wanted to perform well, or wanted the generals of the Pakistani army to know what it meant to fight together, Yuan Chenhao decided to do a big job.

Before the confrontation between the two armies, Yuan Chenhao concentrated the tactical aviation of the Chinese and Pakistani air forces, as well as the Pakistan Army aviation, and carried out two firepower strikes on the Indian troops advancing westward. To the surprise of the Pakistani combat staff, the target of the fire was not the Indian armored forces, but the infantry following behind the armored units. While carrying out firepower strikes, Yuan Chenhao specially arranged for three squadrons of small thugs and 7 fighters to search for and destroy the Indian army's mobile air defense system.

Pei Chengyi made his attitude clear and asked Yuan Chenhao to let go and do it, without interfering with the colonel's tactical command.

In the first two rounds of firepower strikes, the tactical aviation of China and Pakistan, especially the Jinduo fighters of the Pakistan Air Force, played a major role. In the words of the commander of the Pakistan Air Force after the war, under the joint strike of the Chinese and Pakistani air forces, a "no-man's land" with a depth of more than 3 kilometers has appeared between the Indian army's armored and infantry clusters. "Completely cut off the Indian army's armored units from the infantry units.

This is the purpose of Yuan Chenhao's focus on bombing the Indian infantry.

After the birth of the armored forces, "infantry and tank cooperation" was the basic tactic of the armored forces. Armored units that have lost their infantry cover can easily become targets for the opposing infantry, while infantry without the support of armored forces has no offensive capability. No matter what time it is, armored forces cannot fight alone without the infantry.

It's just that in an era when air strikes determine the victory or defeat of wars, bombing infantry has more meaning.

At the end of the bombardment, the infantry group following behind the Indian armored units slowed down. In the absence of air defense cover, infantry can easily become the object of destruction of the opponent's air power, and it is also the unit that is most likely to be destroyed by bombing. If nothing else, a single covering bombing can wipe out all the living forces that are exposed. Unless all the Indian infantry is not afraid of death, no infantry will continue to advance under the bombardment without hope.

In order to arrange the second strike, Yuan Chenhao had the Pakistani Army Aviation helicopter gunships withdraw from the battle ahead of schedule.

As the armored forces of the two sides clashed, the battle was suddenly locked.

Without the support of the infantry, the Indian armored forces were in a dilemma. If you blindly attack, you will easily be surrounded and annihilated by the infantry of the Pakistani army that accompanies the Pakistani armored forces in the battle. You know, in defensive operations based on positions, as long as you have the right anti-tank weapons, the infantry can become the nemesis of the armored forces. If the offensive is slowed down, it will not be able to withstand the impact of the Pakistani army's armored clusters. It will even be cut and surrounded by the armored cluster of the Pakistani army.

It can be said that by this time, the Ear Army had already failed.

Of course, the Indian army was not inactive, at least in the face-to-face tank battle, "the yo-millimeter electrothermochemical cannon that was pasted showed enough power." It's not that the armor protection of the concave is not strong enough. However, the Pakistani army has been reluctant to purchase enhanced armor components for it.

Before the introduction of mass production, China North Heavy Equipment Group Co., Ltd. was acquired by Zhongzhong Heavy Group, which is one of the two major ground equipment manufacturers in the Republic of China, and has improved the protection of the dish lead. Enhanced armor assemblies were developed. Because the Army of the Republic has already decided to procure. Lead, so the enhanced armor assembly is completely aimed at the overseas support of the procurement of the main battle tanks of the Dish Citation series. According to the price offered by the Northern Heavy Equipment, the price of the set of enhanced armor components is 40,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 4 of the unit price of the lead, which can make the protection capacity of the Tianjiaokou reach the level of the lead. Extend its service time by more than one year. Because Pakistan is the largest overseas customer of the main battle tanks of the Sho Yin series, the North Heavy Equipment also sent people to Pakistan to promote it. The problem is that the Pakistan Army has always wanted to buy. No, I hope to obtain a production license, and I have little interest in improving the fertilizer inlet.

In the frontal impact, at least a number of dishes were brought in... Clever depleted uranium armor-piercing shells pierced the frontal armor.

It has to be said that the Indian Army's "asymmetrical exhibition." Got the effect. For example, the millimeter tank gun of the Kawa still thug was used, not the electrothermochemical gun. It is simply impossible to penetrate the frontal armor of the fierce. During the Peninsular War, the U.S. military's... 3 It was because the firepower was too weak that it was placed in the hands of the Republic Army. The Indian Army spared no expense and purchased millimeter electrothermochemical guns from Germany, although it did not improve in an all-round way... Wang's protective ability has effectively improved Xinwang's firepower, making it have the basic strength to confront Tian Yinkou.

Of course. Firepower alone will never solve the problem.

Within half an hour, the three tank battalions of the Indian army were all wiped out. Still been. Do not lead to destroy.

What's more, the tanks lost by the Indian army are "hard damage tips" In the case of the complete rout of the Indian army, the armored rescue unit did not have time to tow the damaged tanks back, and even had to abandon some tanks that could have been repaired. The vehicle was completely scrapped, and many others were towed back by the armored repair vehicle, and after returning to the factory for repair, they could be put into battle again

The half-hour armored battle fully reflected the "quality" gap between the two sides.

It was only at this time that Yuan Chenhao let the armed helicopter group of the Pakistani Army and Army Aviation come into play.

Taking advantage of the comprehensive retreat of the Indian army's armored cluster, hundreds of Pakistan Army's... Hoarding helicopter gunships made a final attack.

As... The ultimate improved model of the old series of gunships, the No-Fighter has increased the paste, most of which are used to enhance battlefield survivability, such as enhancing the armor thickness of the cockpit and the engine compartment, strengthening the fuselage structure, and so on. In order not to reduce flight performance, "the gap was increased on the basis of not concave, and at the same time a five-bladed pulp wing was adopted. As the final model of the last generation of armed helicopters, the vast majority of the combat performance of the thug is better than that of the Indian army, and in some respects it is not even better than... 2. Zhaocha.

Even if it is only an ordinary model, a gunship is the biggest nemesis of the tank.

As a new type of aircraft born after World War II and during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the helicopter gunship has been an anti-tank mission since the day it was born. Although with the advancement of technology, all countries are exploring ways to deal with helicopter gunships, such as equipping tanks with artillery-launched missiles that can hit low-altitude targets, but when confronting helicopter gunships, tanks have been in a situation of being passively beaten due to the limitations of their own performance. If it were not for the advent of vertical take-off and lower-altitude attack aircraft, helicopter gunships would have been low-altitude hegemons to this day.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and after the rout begins, it is out of control.

At 10:00 a.m., the 7th Panzer Division, under the cover of a group of gunships, began to move eastward

Hit.

In order to achieve the maximum assault effect, Yuan Chenhao took out the last killer copper: the first dirty artillery brigade.

The shelling starts at the o'clock point and continues until 2 o'clock!

The focus of the shelling was still not on the Indian armored units, but on the Indian infantry, which had begun to retreat in advance. From the very beginning, artillery fire crossed the border between India and Pakistan and fell on the territory of India.

By this time, the operational staff of the Pakistani army had already admired Yuan Chenhao to the ground.

The focus of the shelling of the Indian infantry was not to eliminate more living forces, but to prevent the Indian army from entering defensive positions and create an opportunity for the 7th Armored Division to launch a counterattack.

With the situation at that time, the total annihilation of the Indian armored forces was only a matter of time, and how to let the 7th Armored Division go further after crossing the India-Pakistan border was what Yuan Chenhao was pursuing.

o By coincidence, the tactical aviation of the Pakistan Air Force again entered the war.

At this time, Pei Chengyi intervened in Yuan Chenhao's tactical command work and did not let Yuan Chenhao send the tactical aviation of the Republic Air Force.

Even so, it didn't have much impact on the outcome of the battle.

As the counterattack began, the 7th Panzer Division not only allowed the 1st Tank Brigade to advance eastward as quickly as possible. He also let the Knife and Dinai Armored Brigades, which had previously fought with the First Tank Brigade, spread out behind the armored clusters to expand the width of the attack and tear through the border defense line of the Indian army.

When the commander of the 7th Division, a major general, was about to put the division into battle, Yuan Chenhao immediately issued the opposite order, asking to leave the division behind and act as a tactical reserve.

This order corrected the mistakes of the Pakistani army in a timely manner.

In any case, the Indian army in the east had a division. More than 10,000 people. The 7th Panzer Division had just over 30,000 men. Although with air support and artillery support, the 7th Panzer Division was not a big problem to annihilate 80,000 enemy troops. But it's almost impossible to eat so many enemies in a matter of hours. In other words, when the Indian army's defensive space shrinks to a certain extent, the difficulty of the offensive will be greatly increased. The dog is still in a hurry to jump over the wall, let alone tens of thousands of soldiers. If the Pakistani army invests all its forces too early and does not leave a tactical reserve, there will be no troops to call upon when the Indian army starts a counterattack.

Facts have proved that Yuan Chenhao's judgment is quite accurate.

At 2 points, the Pakistani army crossed the India-Pakistan border to pick up. Entering the territory of India.

The Indian army slowed down the retreat and began to carry out small counterattacks.

At this time, the commander of the Pakistani army almost made the opposite mistake, that is, he used the reserves too early.

Under Yuan Chenhao's clear order, the brigade stayed behind.

With a steady advance, the 7th Panzer Division advanced eastward at an average of kilometers per hour. Slowly compressing the maneuver space of the Indian army. Forcing the Indian army to launch a tactical counterattack by adding fuel. Drain the living forces of the Indian army.

The 7th Panzer Division advanced the front to Firozpur, that is, to the west bank of the Rajasthan Canal.

At this point, the Indian army has no way to retreat.

After a night of fighting, less than 30,000 of the 80,000 Indian troops remained, and about some of the attached Indian troops were killed in battle. More than 20,000 Indian troops were prisoners of war, and more than 20,000 Indian troops were scattered behind the Pakistani front. It is under onslaught from two other Pakistani divisions fighting in coordination with the 7th Panzer Division.

It was only at this time that Yuan Chenhao sounded the horn of the general attack.

With the 4 combat brigades of the 7th Armored Division and the 2 combat brigades of the 1st Knife Infantry Division going into battle, the Indian army besieged on the west bank of the Rajasthan Canal had only two endings: either surrender with several weapons or die on the battlefield.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of Indian officers and soldiers chose the former.

As a second-line unit, the vast majority of the officers and men of the Indian army division are from poor backgrounds, and the main purpose of joining the army and serving is not to serve the country, but to eat together. Who wants to die unclear when the big picture is decided?

At this time, the other two upward battles also entered a state of self-heating.
