Chapter 244: It's hard to ride a tiger

Inside the valley, a convoy is heading north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Judging from the number of lights, there are hundreds of vehicles, and the speed of travel is not very fast, it can be concluded that almost all of them are military trucks.

It is certainly not the main battle equipment in tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Quite simply, Kashmir is a plateau, mainly mountainous, not suitable for mechanized troops, and there is no place for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Here, the protagonists are artillery and infantry, and the main ones are light towed artillery.

Due to road traffic and other factors, neither India nor Pakistan has deployed self-propelled howitzers in the region, and there are not even many large-caliber towed artillery.

"Pay attention to the distance between those vehicles."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Wang Dong raised the telescope again.

"There must be towed artillery, and there are quite a few of them, it should be an artillery battalion, and the extra vehicles will definitely be used to transport ammunition."

"How many shells are there going to be?" Hussein muttered.

The artillery battalion of the Indian army's mountain troops is generally equipped with 20 towed artillery pieces and about 50 supporting vehicles, while there are hundreds of military vehicles in the convoy.

"To the north of the valley, are there any artillery positions of the Indian army?"

"Yes, but they're all temporary positions."

"Looks like it's going to be lively tomorrow." Wang Dong put down the binoculars and said, "We have to report this discovery immediately and let the troops enter a state of combat readiness." ”

Musharraf didn't say much and nodded at Hussein.

In fact, even without Wang Dong's reminder, Hussein would immediately report to the army headquarters so that the troops deployed near the Kargil Pass would be ready for battle.

Of course, there was a signal corpsman in the squadron brought by Hussein.

Subsequently, Hussein assigned the officers and men of the squadron a task, divided into four squads, and went to four other missing outposts after dawn.

The four outposts, also on this mountain range, also face the valley.

In fact, Wang Dong had already thought about why the Indian army wanted to destroy these five outposts in the first place.

Only by knocking out these five posts can the Indian army send artillery into the valley without being detected by the Pakistani army and lay an ambush on the preset position.

For this reason, the Indian army carried out mobile deployment at night.

Because the Pakistani army already knew that the post was shelled and sent special forces, the Indian army would not drag it out and would definitely open fire early tomorrow morning.

If the Pakistani army is not prepared, the artillery deployed near the Kargil Pass is likely to be completely wiped out.

The key is that within a radius of several tens of kilometers, there are only a few river valleys where artillery can be deployed, just as the Pakistani army knows where the Indian army will deploy its artillery, and the Indian army has long been aware of the artillery deployment of the Pakistani army, at least knowing where the Pakistani army has set up artillery positions.

Although the artillery of the Pakistani army is scattered and deployed, it will not maneuver and evade without entering a combat state.

It's just that it's useless to worry.

Major Hussein had already reported the findings, and the reply was that he was on standby and that no new assignment had been scheduled by the Pakistan Army Command.

Wang Dong slept for several hours, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he found Musharraf sitting on the edge of a cliff.

"Can't sleep?"

Musharraf was taken aback, and only after seeing Wang Dong did he nod.

"I'll keep vigil, you go get some sleep."

"No, you don't." Musharraf took out a cigarette and lit one for Wang Dong first.

"I know you're worried, but it's useless to worry." Wang Dong sighed and said, "Actually, as long as the Indian authorities do not lose their minds, they will not fall out with Pakistan at this time, because India does not have the ability to fight in two directions at the same time." ”

"That's what I'm worried about."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and looked at Musharraf incomprehensibly.

"Previously, India went to provoke China, making it clear that it was instigated by the United States, or in order to gain the favor of the United States, so that the US authorities could approve the export of the F-16 fighter production line and even the sale of F-35A fighters. As you said, as long as the Indian authorities have a little bit of sanity, they should know the consequences of provoking Huaxia. Although Huaxia behaved calmly and never took action against India's provocations, we all know that as long as Huaxia makes up its mind, the situation will no longer be under India's control, and India will probably lose more than face at that time. ”

"It's not time yet."

"It's not exact, and there's a different measure of when it's 'ripe.'"

Wang Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Musharraf meant.

"It's just that right now, the Indian authorities are riding a tiger."

"How?"

"If India retreats now, that is, if it doesn't add to China's blockage, what will happen?" Musharraf paused for a moment and then added, "You know, the South Asian countries are watching the development of the situation, and the outcome of this matter will inevitably change their positions." Needless to say, no matter what the outcome is, Pakistan will adhere to the pro-China line and work closely with China in various fields. Bangladesh to the east of India is similar, and will continue to cooperate with China. However, Sri Lanka is different from Nepal. If India suddenly relents, I bet that within a few years, Sri Lanka and Nepal will be completely in the same place. ”

"When the time comes, India will have no allies."

"And fully surrounded."

"In that case, why is India playing with fire and setting itself on fire?"

"Do you have a choice?" Musharraf took a puff of cigarette before saying, "Russia is becoming more and more unreliable, and European countries such as Britain and France are powerless, unless the Indian authorities accept Huaxia's invitation to join the Silk Road Economic Cooperation Organization initiated by Huaxia, and are determined to resolve the contradictions with China, otherwise they can only take refuge in the United States." Of course, the United States also hopes to use India to contain China, so that it will hit it off. ”

"With that said, the Indian authorities are now thinking about how to end the game."

"Yes, that's the key."

When Musharraf said this, Wang Dong understood.

After provoking the incident, the Indian authorities must avoid making trouble with China, and they need to find a way to end the incident, and they must not show weakness.

Obviously, there is only one way.

That is, to create a new hot spot.

If we compare India's provocation of China to a hole, the way to make up for it is not to fill the hole, but to dig a bigger hole.

There is no doubt that the India-Pakistan conflict, with Kashmir at its core, is this bigger hole.

After the outbreak of the conflict between India and Pakistan, who will care about the affairs between India and China?

Crucially, as long as the powder keg in Kashmir is lit, the Indian authorities can end their provocations against China under the pretext of dealing with the Pakistani threat.

Obviously, other countries will not think that India is weak in the face of China, but that India is extremely tough.

When the time comes, India will not only save face, but also win the favor of the United States, and it can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone and become the biggest winner.

Just, is it that easy?
