Gao Buhan is now defeated. 【Full text reading】Thousands of Indian troops are out on all local battlefields: D,

On the night of the old days, the airborne thugs were the brigade ushering in the most tragic night.

After nightfall, rest in Ranchi. One afternoon, the Indian army once again stormed the positions of the airborne thug brigade, and put on a posture of eating the airborne prisoner brigade in one go.

At this time, Li Dongshi had to face not 3 main divisions of the Indian army, but 6 main divisions of the Indian army.

Except for the 1st Panzer Division, which was routed by the counterattack troops of the airpower and the airborne fighter Shao Brigade outside the city of Ranchi, and did not participate in the battle against the Airborne Field Brigade, the 1st Panzer Division, the 1st Zhao Infantry Division, and the 1st Infantry Division lost about half of their strength in the old daytime battles, and the 1st Panzer Division, the 1st Infantry Division, and the 1st Infantry Division, which arrived in the evening, took on the main task of attacking at night. What made Li Dongshi even more headache was that in addition to facing the six main divisions of the Indian army, the Indian troops of the airborne witch brigade had as many as old catties and divisions, and the total strength reached an astonishing 10,000. The airborne return brigade can still fight, including the cooks who take up arms, and the wounded who can go to the battlefield. In total, there are less than string force people.

The old four pairs of ugly. The ratio of offensive and defensive forces is as high as a fall.

That is to say, even if all the soldiers of the Airborne Brigade are sharpshooters, before they die in battle, they must kill more than one Indian army in order to hold their positions.

Fortunately, except for Li Dongshi and a few staff officers at the brigade headquarters, the other officers and men did not know how many enemies there were.

In the face of so many enemies, Li Dongshi did not feel afraid.

Although this was the largest disparity in strength experienced by the Airborne Return Brigade, it proved to be. The combat effectiveness of the Indian army is far inferior to that of the five old US marines.

In the words of Li Dongshi's encouragement to the battalion commanders of each battalion, the Indian army is inferior to the 10,000 American army.

In order to boost morale, Li Dongshi also asked the scouts of the brigade's reconnaissance company to carry out a special mission in the afternoon of the same day.

In fact, this was not a task arranged by him, but by the command of the front. Because there are several Koguchi fighters who are on a support mission with ... The low-altitude attack aircraft was shot down by Indian troops over Ranchi. The pilot landed in an urban area controlled by the Indian army. The special forces responsible for rescuing the pilots are thousands of miles away, so the Airborne Fighter Brigade can only be responsible for rescuing those unlucky pilots.

In the entire brigade, the scouts of the brigade reconnaissance company are the closest to the special forces in individual combat capability.

More importantly, the officers and men of the combat battalions were exhausted, and they had to take advantage of the opportunity of the Indian army to slow down the pace of the offensive to recuperate themselves in order to cope with the night battle.

Several rescue teams composed of the best scouts entered the city of Ranchi that afternoon, quietly penetrated the Indian defense line, and found the pilot hiding in the ruins of the building. When the scouts returned to the positions of the Airborne Fighter Brigade with their pilots, the officers and men of the brigade were greatly encouraged. A few scouts can penetrate the Indian army's defense line, and the combat effectiveness of the Indian army can be imagined. The Airborne Forces are all arrogant. Although everyone knows that the Scout is the most capable individual soldier in the combat unit, no Airborne Soldier considers himself inferior to the Scout. Scouts can do it, why can't combat units do it?

The morale skyrocketed, which made Li Dongshi see hope, but he had a few more hot potatoes in his hands.

The position was so crowded that Li Dongshi had to settle the rescued Ming pilot in the command post of the brigade headquarters and put his "room." Vacated and let the pilots wait patiently for the transport plane that came to meet them.

When the transport plane will come, Li Dongshi has no bottom in his heart.

The front-line command seems to have forgotten about the airborne defense brigade trapped in Ranchi, and has never sent transport planes to airdrop combat materials, or even vertical take-off and landing planes to pick up the wounded.

In the afternoon, Li Dongshi tried to ask for support many times, but in the end he still did not contact the front-line command.

It's not that he doesn't want to put down his face, compared with the life and death of thousands of officers and soldiers, the face is a fart. It's just that Li Dongshi knows that even if he asks for support, he won't get it.

According to the thug's advice; The army is desperately advancing towards Varanasi, but the Song River defense line is blocked, and the advance is not fast, and the front command has already sent the air assault brigade up. Because the Indian army firmly controlled the Song River defense line and also dispatched Patna's defenders to attack the rear defense line of the Otna army, it could only be expected that the Hong army would take Patna as soon as possible. so that the concave army can move forward without any worries; What's more. As the logistical support line for the troops was cut off by the Indian army, the front-line command had to mobilize all the banquet forces to deliver war supplies to the troops.

It is clear that the supply to the airborne thugs is the brigade. Prevent the Indian army from occupying Varanasi.

Although Li Dongshi is not a commander-level at the campaign level, according to his understanding, Varanasi is more important than Ranchi.

The Air Force and Army Aviation cannot be counted on, nor can the other support force, the fleet cruising in the Bay of Bengal.

According to another pilot, the battle for Calcutta had begun, and the Brigade of Knife and Air Assault Fighters had captured Gardenridge, and the Au Army would soon enter India. Take on the main mission. What's more. The Mi army and the army have bypassed Calcutta and are advancing south. Carrier-based aviation was sent to support the Mi and Gang forces, and fleet artillery fire was also used in the direction of Calcutta.

Among the many bad news, there was another piece of good news that made Li Dongshi feel very excited, that is, he led the army Ganban across the Ganges River to Sahibgen, and was about to turn south. In other words, it is very likely that the leading army is marching towards Ranchi and will arrive at the mouth at night.

Of course, Li Dongshi did not get carried away with this, and did not even attach too much importance to this good news.

It can be said that the strong brigade of airborne fighters can only rely on themselves.

Although his heart was a little unbalanced, Li Dongshi didn't complain about anything. The day he became an airborne soldier, Li Dongshi knew that the airborne troops could only rely on themselves and should not have too much hope for any support force.

Toughness is the character trait of every airborne soldier.

Before evening. After the Indian army was concentrated in the southern part of the city of Ranchi, Li Dongshi adjusted the defense equipment

The Indian army in the north has nothing to fear, as long as the battalion of the first thug nephew does not go bershawn, it is not a problem to hold out for a few days.

The key is still in the south, and the main force of the Indian army in the south must be blocked.

Considering that the Indian army had "rested" for an afternoon, Li Dongshi arranged for the troops to enter a combat state while fighting.

Time to have dinner. Li Dongshi brought several battalion commanders over.

In addition to continuing to let the first battalion of the thugs lean as far south as possible, be prepared to support the defensive operations in the south. As before, Li Dongshi still pinned his hopes on the Dizhan Nu battalion commanded by Zhang Zhiqi. Although in the noon counterattack, Zhang Zhiqi gave the Indian army a taste of armored assault warfare, but the situation at night was more complicated, and Li Dongshi did not intend to let the last armored force take risks. According to his arrangement, the first porridge camp had only one mission. That is, after the frontal position was broken through by the Indian army. Focus on eliminating the armored forces of the Indian army and blocking the advance of the Indian army.

After arranging the combat missions of each battalion, Li Dongshi did one last thing.

"Lao Li" Zhang Zhiqi gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it too early?"

"Tonight's battle is sure to be very fierce, the news that the scouts brought back is. The main forces of the Indian army have been assembled to the south of the position, and will definitely attack after dark. If my judgment is correct, it is very likely that this will be the last night of the Indian army. Li Dongshi took two puffs of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "The Indian army also knows that if we can't be eliminated tonight, they will have to attack tomorrow during the day." As the battle to the north drew to a close. As long as the troops can reach Varanasi tomorrow night, the front command will adjust air support and bombard the Indian troops on our side with all their might. What's more, the lead army is heading south, with a high probability of arriving tomorrow night. There is no doubt that the Indian army also knows that the thug army is rushing over as quickly as possible. All the circumstances indicate that the Indian army will start a general offensive this evening. Let you leave a will, not that I think this is everyone's last night. I just don't want a brother to fall on the battlefield with regrets. I can also tell you that before that. I have written a will twice. ”

After speaking, Li Dongshi let out a long breath and didn't ramble anymore.

Zhang Zhiqi sighed. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and picked up the pen and paper on the table. I buried my head and wrote.

Several other battalion commanders sighed secretly and picked up pen and paper one after another.

After collecting the wills of the battalion commanders, Li Dongshi put his share on the top. Then he handed it to the staff officer who was waiting next to him, and asked the staff officer to lock the will in the safe.

No one wants to die, but in the face of a strong enemy, only by making up one's mind to die can one be left to die.

According to Li Dongshi's orders, after the various battalion commanders went back. Let the platoon commander make a will. Then an orderly was sent to deliver the will.

In order not to affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Li Dongshi did not let the fighters leave a will.

When it was dark, Li Dongshi asked the guards to distribute the guns and ammunition collected to the staff officers of the brigade headquarters. Needless to say from the brigade commander, many of the old staff officers knew that they were the last reserves.

The earth began to shake. A dull explosion came down the tunnel.

Li Dongshi, as always, took the guards to the front line.

The last night, the craziest night, has arrived.

At this time, Pei Chengyi, who was in Wozerabad, walked into the tactical command center with two boxed lunches. Unlike the previous days, Pei Chengyi had no intention of resting at night.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, battles in three directions unfolded at the same time, and the battle reached the most critical moment.

The first thing to be won is the battle for Varana's western upward movement.

During the day, Pei Chengyi gave the army a death order, no matter what method was used. It was necessary to break through the Song line within an hour of departure and try to reach Varanasi by the night of the pass.

Clearly, there is a contradiction in this order.

Even if the troops had broken through the Song line within the hour of the Song River as ordered, they would still be about a kilometer away from Varanasi. It is simply impossible to reach Varanasi at night.

When arranging combat missions, Yuan Chenhao realized this problem and issued a new order to the army.

The time to break through the Song River defense line was shortened from an hour to a fighter's hour.

In other words, the Pai army had to cross the Song River before dawn. Only in this way will the vanguard be able to reach Varanasi on the night of the day.

In order to attract the attention of the army, Yuan Chenhao particularly emphasized that this was the order of the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the front.

This is not a simple task for the officers and men of the Mo Army.

Due to the flood season, the Song River is twice as wide as usual, and it is second only to the Ganges River in the difficulty of forcibly crossing the route of the army's march. Because the vanguard of the tactics of long-distance and sneak attack captured the Ganges bridge north of Patna, the Pai army was able to cross the Ganges with ease. This time it was different, the 24th Army's campaign intentions had been exposed, and before its vanguard arrived, the Indian army blew up all the bridges over the Song River.

The army stopped on the east bank of the Song River. Stop the fox seven time equipment.

Let the air assault fighters or brigades send 3 sets of bridging equipment to the army.

With the equipment, it does not mean that the river can be successfully crossed, because the other side of the river is the defensive position of the Bei army.

In a hurry. The concave army advanced the offensive from the old point to the point of mouth.

In other words, when Pei Chengyi returned to the tactical command center, the army had already begun to force the crossing of the Song River. Affected by this. The Air Assault Fighter Brigade also participated in the battle in advance, responsible for seizing the bridgehead on the west bank and covering the engineering troops of the army to erect pontoon bridges.

After dark. The Indian army launched a frantic counterattack on the bridgehead positions of the air assault brigade.

The Indian army on the Song River defense line knew very well that it was not the Indian army's defensive positions that blocked the troops, but the Song River. If the Concave army is allowed to cross the Song River smoothly, no matter how strong the Indian army's defensive position is, it will be easily broken through. There was only one way to prevent the troops from crossing the river, and that was to occupy the bridgehead positions of the Air Assault Fighter Brigade, block the armored troops that had just come ashore on the river beach, and drive the opponent into the rough Song River.

Soon, the battle was in a state of white heat.

The subbrigade of air assault fighters is not an armored unit and can only defend the bridgehead with infantry.

In order to gain a foothold on the other side of the river. The army sent a battalion of thugs to the other side of the river by pontoon before the pontoon bridge was erected.

If it's from the hand month to the next year, it's not a big problem.

It's the flood season of the Song River, and the risk of floating is too great.

When the ratio of 2 battalions leads the main battle tank with. When the Wangkou infantry fighting vehicles rushed to the beach on the east bank of the Song River, at least half of the tanks and chariots were swallowed up by the river, and many officers and soldiers who fell from the army did not even see what the other side of the Song River looked like, so they became the first casualties in this battle.

This loss is also the largest "combat casualty" since the army entered the war.

After the war, all the officers and soldiers were listed as combat heroes.

The battle was fought brutally, and the officers and men of Chi Ming did not die in vain.

As the armoured units gained a foothold in the bridgehead on the east bank, the air assault occupation immediately put in more air assault units to assist the armoured forces in expanding the bridgehead defense.

In the absence of access to the river beach, the Indian army naturally could not pose a threat to the engineering troops who were building bridges.

The first pontoon bridge was successfully opened to traffic at the cost of the lives of the officers and men of the left of the engineering troops.

The main force of the army immediately began to cross the river and attack the Indian army.

After receiving this news, Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the cost of this pontoon bridge was a little too great, it was a hope for the more than four officers and soldiers of the old airborne brigade who were still holding out in Varanasi.

The army successfully crossed the Song River, and the Indian army's defensive operation on the west side of the battlefield was completely defeated.

It was also at this time that the vanguard of the army reached Pagpur. According to Pei Chengyi's order, the leading army did not continue to move forward. Instead, head south along the road line from Pagelpur to Andal.

Although Pei Chengyi had not yet decided on the destination of the women's thug army, the officers and soldiers who led the army thought that they would go to rescue the airborne defense brigade trapped in Ranchi. In order to speed up the march, the leading army not only gave the fastest assault to the 1st mechanized infantry brigade to charge the vehicles on the march.

Drawing points left and right, Pei Chengyi received the battle situation in the direction of Ranchi.

Knowing that the main forces of the Indian Army's Third Army had all reached Ranchi and launched a general offensive at any cost, Pei Chengyi made a decision. Let the lead army gallop to the aid of the airborne thug brigade, and clearly order that the lead army must arrive in Ranchi before midnight.

Obviously, this is not an easy task.

From Pagelpur to Ranchi, even if you choose the shortest march, it is a kilometre. Other words. The sword army must march within the daylight hours, advancing an average of kilometers per hour. Although under normal circumstances, the lead army can run a kilometer in the old hour, but now it is on the battlefield, and it may be blocked by the Indian army at any time, and the assault force has to stop to recharge the vehicle.

An order is an order, and there is no room for bargaining.

All the army can do is run faster, faster, faster.

Relatively. The Scales who were advancing towards Batna didn't have much of a problem.

Although the Indian army launched several counterattacks after the old air assault brigade surrounded Patna, judging from the battle report of the air assault brigade, the Indian army's counterattack was not violent, indicating that the combat effectiveness and morale of the Indian army were very low. According to Pei Chengyi's judgment. As soon as the fallen armoured troops drove outside Patna, the Bellows would surrender.

Will it be this result, Pei Chengyi doesn't want to bet with Yuan Chenhao.

In fact, as long as the army broke through the Song River defense line, how could Patna's Indian army choose the final outcome. It's not the most important question anymore.

The battle in the last direction, that is, in the direction of Kolkata, is even less worth worrying about.

The Ace Army was the Ace Army, and it took only 4 hours for the Cave Army to send the first main force, and the most powerful armored brigade of the Dihan thugs, outside the city of Howrah. According to the report of the correction army, a few pounds of others. The brigade will arrive outside Howrah before 0:00 a.m. on the day of the mouth and hastily begin the operation of attacking Howrah at 2 o'clock on the day of the mouth. In other words, the concave army will complete the combat mission assigned by Pei Chengyi about 4 hours in advance.

Attack Howrah with a hasty army. It's like smashing a persimmon with a hammer. What else is there to worry about?

It can be said that what worries Pei Chengyi the most is the battle in the Ranchi direction.

Will the Airborne Thug Brigade be able to withstand the last madness of the Indian army?
