On the Western Front, the 1st Armored Division of the 6th Army of the Tibetan Provincial Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army occupied the city of Meerut, 50 kilometers northeast of the Indian capital New Delhi, on the 5nd day of the war, and rested in the area of the city for a day to replenish supplies and ammunition. Waiting for the Indian People's Liberation Army (BLA) and the Indian [***] (Maoist) Armed Task Force Training Brigade in Tibetan Province to come and receive it.

The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the 6th Army, after handing over the occupied areas of Punjab, Himamar Pradesh and Indian-administered Kashmir to the Wheel Regiment of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the 6th Army and the 5th Division of the Indian People's Liberation Army, swung south along the Indian Highway 10. After six hours of fierce fighting, more than 11,000 people of the 2nd Tank Regiment of the 1st Heavy Armored Division and the 53rd Brigade of the 112th Infantry Division of the Indian Central Military Region were completely annihilated, and the commander of the 112th Division of the Indian Army, Major General Psennasinghe, and the commander of the 53rd Brigade, Brigadier General Sak, the commander of the 112th Division of the Indian Army, were killed, and the city of Rotak was occupied.

At this point, the 6th Group Army of the Tibetan Provincial Corps formed a flanking attack on New Delhi, the capital of India, from east to west.

In modern high-intensity warfare, the attrition is staggering, and the dependence on logistics is very high. The Lanzhou Military Region and the Chengdu Military Region have used almost all their transportation capacity to continuously transport all kinds of strategic materials and personnel to Tibet Province, and the Tibet Provincial Production and Construction Corps has also mobilized more than 6,000 8-ton Dongfeng off-road vehicles and the 1st Air Force Division of the Tibet Provincial Corps has mobilized more than 50 transport planes to supplement the Eastern Front troops of the 6th Group Army and the Tibet Provincial Military Region around the clock.

The two tiger and wolf divisions of the 6th Army approached New Delhi and plunged into an unprecedented panic. In order to escape the chaos, the rich and powerful fled south to other cities, and those who had no money and power also ran to the homes of relatives in the countryside to take refuge. Those who have no money, no power, and no relatives can only resign themselves to fate.

Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was even more distressed, in just a few days, he looked more than 10 years older than before the war, and he could not see the radiant Nehru anymore. At this time, he was sick and depressed. Lying on the hospital bed, he felt that the dream of a great country was not so easy to do, and not everyone could do it. A China that dared to use force with the world's most powerful 16-nation coalition led by the United States in just one year after the founding of the People's Republic of China is definitely not something that it can afford to provoke, or it is fatal for itself to secretly want to quietly take advantage of China. India does not have this strength, although China and India have similar populations, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, India was better than China in all aspects, and the international environment China could not compare. However, through the development of the past few years, India and China are no longer an order of magnitude opponent. I was really carried away by the victory of the successful annexation of those princely states in India, and I actually reached out to China, which led to the disaster of destroying the country today. The personal influence and political status that he had painstakingly built up over decades plummeted, and the whole of India was in an uproar with its own condemnation, and public criticism and attacks increased

Lying on the bed, Nehru banged his fist on the bed board and said to himself: "Confused, confused"

Sorrow returns, illness returns, but things still have to be done. On the 22nd, Nehru presided over a meeting of the Indian Prime Minister's Cabinet from his sickbed, and decided that India would temporarily move its capital to Mumbai; sent a telegram to Premier Zhou Enlai of China agreeing to a peaceful settlement of the Sino-Indian border issue through negotiations, and as long as China agrees to a ceasefire and withdraws its troops, India agrees to China's statement that the Sino-Indian border line should be demarcated according to the traditional border line between the two countries; sent a telegram to the Secretary-General of the United Nations requesting that the United Nations convene an emergency meeting to discuss the Sino-Indian issue and stop China's aggression against India; Urgently summoned the US ambassador to India and strongly urged US President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the US Congress to intervene in China's aggression; The Soviet ambassador to India was urgently summoned to ask for support, and asked the Soviet Union to put pressure on China to withdraw its troops and mediate relations between India and China

However, Nehru's series of measures were too late.

On the 23rd, the 1st Armored Division of the 6th Group Army of the Tibetan Provincial Corps launched a fierce attack on Gaziabad in the eastern suburbs of New Delhi after completing the replenishment of supplies and ammunition.

After occupying the city of Rotak, the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the 6th Army received an emergency airdrop supplement of more than 30 "air trains" from the 1st Air Division, and the tank regiment and the infantry regiment of the division carried forward the style of continuous combat without fear of fatigue, and on the 23rd they moved simultaneously with the 1st Armored Division and launched an unprecedentedly fierce attack on the Quimiluddin area in the western suburbs, 10 kilometers from the center of New Delhi.

Amid the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Nehru suddenly suffered a stroke. The Indian Cabinet decided to hold a religious prayer ceremony for the health of the Prime Minister at his official residence, and invited many of India's top monks to pray for him. used the quintessence of India, and even drank a few large cups of morning urine of a monk who cured all diseases. Nehru's heart attack occurred that night, and the coronary artery occlusion led to the interruption of blood flow, resulting in severe and long-lasting acute ischemia of the myocardium of the left ventricle, and eventually leading to extensive ischemia and necrosis of the myocardial tissue. After the best efforts of the doctors and the prayers of the monks were ineffective, he died in the official residence, and his only legacy to India was to establish China as a formidable enemy for India.

On 24 April, at 10 o'clock, 15 "saboteur" bombers of the 1st Air Force Division of the Tibetan Provincial Corps, each carrying anti-personnel submunitions and 250-2 napalm, bombed key military defense targets, military warehouses, artillery positions, and other important military targets in New Delhi, and then more than 200 artillery pieces of various kinds simultaneously fired at New Delhi for 20 minutes of destruction and shooting, and New Delhi suddenly became a sea of fire, and 20 122-mm self-propelled rocket launchers fired 200 rocket-sweeping bombs at a time. The anti-tank and anti-infantry mines planted by the Indian army in front of the positions were detonated by the intensive method of salvo fire, and the assault passages were opened up in the minefield. As our artillery fire extended forward one after another, more than 100 tanks and more than 100 armored vehicles, covering the infantry attack group from the east and west sides of New Delhi, launched a comprehensive and fierce attack on New Delhi, and launched a breakthrough battle for the city defense of New Delhi. Carry out the final clean-up of the remnants of the Indian army's positions. It took only 10 minutes for the eastern and western fronts to break through the Indian army's defensive positions and rush into the central area of New Delhi. The fire of the Indian troops in the buildings on both sides of the main street was concentrated and rushed towards the tank group in front of us. On Highway 10 to the west, the Indian army also dispatched more than 20 British-made Firefly tanks equipped with 77mm guns made during World War II to block the tank regiment of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division. It has the taste of a mantis arm as a car.

In the Moon Square in New Delhi on the west side of the Ganges Bridge in the east, the Indian army used more than 40 British-made centurion tanks to counterattack the tanks of the 1st Armored Division that crossed the bridge, and the Indian army may not be wrong in this arrangement, the Chinese tanks must cross the bridge one by one, so as to lose the group advantage, and they concentrated their superior forces at the bridgehead, waiting for the Chinese tanks to come and destroy one by one. That's a good idea. But how could the poor 80mm guns on their tanks get the "Destroyer" tank.

The frontal protection of the turret of the "Destroyer" tank is up to 700 mm, and the hull protection capacity is equivalent to 500~600 mm thick homogeneous steel armor, plus the double anti-reactive armor on the turret and hull, the ability to resist armor and armor-piercing shells can reach 1000~1200 mm. What a creative thing to use this antique tank to stop the 6th Army's torrent of steel. This antique tank has no other meaning than a waste of a few 125-mm shells for our army.

The "destroyer" tank group drove unhurriedly through the main streets of New Delhi to divide and encircle the Indian army, "pointed" and "decapitated" the command organs of the Indian army at all levels, and kept shooting at the Indian troops who were hiding in the buildings on both sides of the street to resist while marching. The buildings that hid the resistance of the Indian army were blown up, and those that were not blown up were crumbling, thick smoke billowed and flames rose to the sky, and the broken limbs of the Indian troops in the buildings were thrown into the streets from the windows of the buildings and the huge holes created by the explosion.

On the way to the New Delhi Railway Station, the 3rd Company of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division marched to the platform of the freight yard near the railway station and had a warehouse with only a cover and no wall, and the Indian army surrounded the warehouses with sandbags, and the Indian soldiers of the 1st battalion tried in vain to stop the advance of the [***] team to the railway station with such simple fortifications, and the 3rd Company used 5 tanks to shoot at the Indian army's fortifications with tank artillery fire along the starting railway, destroying these rudiments, and then, 7 on the tank, 62 vehicle-mounted machine guns and 14,5 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns at the same time these Indian troops fired, in the face of such a powerful firepower, more than 600 Indian troops were beaten to the flesh and blood, and the 5 armored vehicles behind simply passed through the warehouse, the last cleaning of the remaining Indian troops here.

In the vicinity of the Indian Prime Minister's Office and the Central Military District Headquarters on Rajapat Street in the center of New Delhi, several Indian troops jumped out of the alleys on both sides of the street with explosive packs in an attempt to blow up the tanks of the squadron, and were immediately beaten into a sieve by the machine guns and automatic rifles of the "Raider" wheeled armored vehicles following the tanks.

The Indian army desperately blocked the way for our army to advance towards the Prime Minister's Office, "booming" 1 88mm cannon shell, hitting the foredeck of the "Destroyer" tank that our army rushed to the front, and the tank shook, "Wow! I hit the tank of the Chinese! Let these Chinese also taste " Without waiting for the words of this lucky Indian artillery to land, this "destroyer" tank turned the position of the two British 88mm cannons of the Indian army in the middle of the street with the turret aimed at and "bombarded" in response, and immediately lifted the two guns into the sky, and the upper body of the brave Indian artillery aimer and his British 88mm cannon mount were blown to the roof on the second floor next to it.

On the second floor of a bank, three Indian bazooka soldiers, holding an American-made Bazooka bazooka, aimed at a huge Chinese tank that was heading towards them, and fired, the rocket hit the upper left side of the tank and exploded a huge ball of fire, before they could cheer, almost at the same time as they fired, a 125-mm anti-personnel armor-piercing bullet of the tank hit the Indian bazooka man in the chest, and immediately blew up the bones of the rocketeer and his two assistants.

Our army marched in an attack group composed of three tanks, three armored vehicles and an infantry platoon on the main streets of New Delhi, running over the temporary fortifications built with sandbags on the streets one after another, and the corpses of Indian soldiers and the messy stumps and broken arms lying everywhere on the streets, the wounded of the Indian army lying in a pool of blood and struggling in pain, the broken guns and artillery of the Indian army, backpacks, and equipment were thrown everywhere. In many places, the corpses and blood of the Indian army were combined, turning the streets black and red. The whole of New Delhi was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

Urban street fighting is always the most difficult and cruel, on Rajapat Street, where the Prime Minister's Office of India is located, three armored vehicles of the 8th Company and 2nd Platoon of the 1st Armored Division Wheel Regiment followed closely behind the tank, and a bazooka driver of the Indian Army hid in the abandoned area of a building, he let go of the tank rumbling in front of him, and fired a rocket at the wheeled armored car following the tank, at the moment when the Indian army fired, a soldier of our army in the armored car had already seen the Indian army's bazooka player through the spherical shooting hole, He then pulled the trigger of the automatic rifle, and three 7,62 bullets hit the Indian bazooka driver in the head, but before he could do so, the rockets still hit the tail of the fighting compartment of the armored car, causing two deaths and three injuries to the occupants of our vehicle.

In this battle of New Delhi, it was the American Bazooka rocket launcher that inflicted the greatest losses on our army's wheeled armored vehicles.

In the two strong bunkers on both sides of the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, 4 machine guns suddenly fired, hitting our tanks, armored vehicles clanged, because they were too close to the tank bunker, the artillery on the tank had no angle to shoot, the two "destroyer" tanks simply rushed up, slammed down the wall, and pressed over the bunker, just when the Indian troops in the bunker were holding their heads in fright, the two soldiers of our wheeled armored vehicle who followed the tank jumped out of the car very quickly, Through the firing port of the Indian bunker, two handleless grenades were stuffed into the bunker very calmly and continuously. "Boom, boom" several muffled sounds in a row, the grenade exploded in the bunker of the Indian army, there is no need to check that there is definitely not a single living in the bunker, and no one can survive the explosion fragments of more than 700 grenades in a closed space.

There is a large semi-basement under the main building of the Prime Minister's Office of India that survived the air raid, and the tongue of machine gun fire is constantly sprayed from the window exposed to the ground, and a tank of our army is aimed at the main entrance of the building, "boom, boom" is two guns, and the two wheeled armored vehicles following the tank quickly bypassed the tanks in front of them and quickly rushed to the front of the main gate of the Prime Minister's Office, and several anti-chemical soldiers armed with flamethrowers rushed down from the armored car, and went around the side of the window of the low basement from the smoked gate, The flamethrower guns in the hands of these anti-chemical warfare soldiers were aimed at each window of the basement, and the fire dragons were continuously sprayed inward, and from the basement came a terrible wail, which made people feel the terrible wails of pores in the daytime, and the entire basement was filled with poisonous smoke and raging fire. The exit from the basement was blocked by the staircase that had just collapsed by the tank, and more than 300 people in the entire basement did not escape. It was later learned that in this basement was India's National Security Adviser, Chief Secretary to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Ragush is chairing a national defense meeting attended by the heads of India's Defence Planning Commission and Supreme Intelligence Council, as well as the heads of relevant units such as the Indian Defence Minister, the Tri-Services Chief of Staff, the Defence Secretary, the Defence Financial Adviser, etc. This crooked blow is a good blow, and the principal responsible person of India's highest military power organ has been stewed with a spoonful.

The 3rd Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, then occupied the Indian Prime Minister's Office, and a bright red August 1st Army flag was raised on the flagpole on the top of the main building.

At the headquarters of the Central Military Region of the Indian Army near the Prime Minister's Office, under the powerful military strike and deterrence of our army, more than 1,000 Indian troops under the leadership of Lieutenant General Rasipura, commander of the Central Military Region of the Indian Army, surrendered to three tanks, three armored vehicles and more than 20 fighters of the 1st Company of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Armored Division of our army.

After eight hours of fierce fighting, the sound of artillery and gunfire in the city of New Delhi gradually fell silent, and our army basically controlled the whole of New Delhi.

Throughout the Battle of New Delhi, the 6th Army eliminated India's highest military authority, the National Security Council of India and the Central Military Region Command of the Indian Army, a military headquarters and three divisions, totaling more than 67,000 men. 5 helicopters, 30 British-made Centurion tanks, 22 Firefly tanks, 539 cars, 16 British-made 88-mm cannons, 38 British-made 88-mm howitzers, and 35 British-made 75-mm mountain guns, 24 British 106.7mm mortars, 95 British 81mm mortars, 108 British 51mm mortars, 98 Bazookas, 238 heavy machine guns, 889 British 7.7mm Bren light machine guns, 6,156 Canadian-made 9mm submachine guns, and 36,197 British 7.7mm Lee Enfield rifles. More than 380 tons of various combat materials.

In this battle, our 6th Army suffered 278 casualties and 615 wounded. Loss of 21 wheeled armored vehicles.
