Airborne tank, must sacrifice weight, that is, sacrifice the level of protection and mobility, and its firepower, is perverted and powerful, M551 tank, using a 152 mm gun, this gun, can fire ordinary shells, such as multi-purpose armor-piercing shells, grenades, yellow phosphorus smoke bombs and tracer training shells, etc., but also can fire oak stick anti-tank missiles.

Against advanced tanks, its M409E5 multi-purpose armor-piercing projectile has an effective range of about 1500m, a maximum vertical armor-piercing thickness of 500mm, and can play a fragmentation killing role. And the MGM-51A Oak stick anti-tank missile has a range of 3000m and a maximum vertical armor-piercing thickness of 500mm. Either way, it was possible to tear through the main armor of the Monkey version of the T-72.

When the tank fell, driven by a parachute, it descended leisurely, and then the soldiers of Unit A also began to line up one by one to get out of the cabin and calmly jump down.

I'm a paratrooper! We appear in the most dangerous places! They looked at the Indus River flowing in the distance, and looked at the surrounding land, here, it is all Pakistani territory, and it must not be occupied by Indians!

20 C-130 transport planes, airdropped 20 tanks, nearly 300 fighters.

When they landed in the air, they were looking for their tanks while holding their parachute lines.

"Boom." The tank landed on the ground, the honeycomb aluminum alloy chassis blocked the main force of the fall, and the remaining force, thanks to the suspension cushioning of the Guò load-bearing wheels, the tank landed steadily on the ground.

"Boom." With their legs curled up and their cushioning force exerted, the paratroopers landed steadily, throwing aside their parachutes and running towards the tank.

Untie the rope and jump into the cockpit. Start the engine, and with a booming sound, the tank was quickly started.

Fighters without tanks, jumping on top of tanks, holding on to the handrails outside, parachuted into the field. With the tanks as the center, Force A was rapidly gathering and heading in the direction of the Indus River.

It only took an hour!

When they reached the riverbank, the vanguard of the Indians on the other side had not yet come.

Disguise! Using the reeds on the banks of the river, taking advantage of the surrounding grass, they quickly hid themselves.

The river is not wide, less than two thousand meters. Upstream, the wide place is tens of kilometers, and this narrow riverbed also causes the river to be turbulent.

Along the road, above the river, there was a bridge, which, at this time, had already been planted with explosives by the sappers of Unit A. Just waiting for the arrival of the Indians.

Commander of Unit A, Hassan Zada. Standing on top of the tank, holding a telescope, looking at the opposite bank.

In the midst of the smoke and dust, the armored troops have been rapidly moving in, leading. It is the T-72 tank, which the Indians are most proud of!

The long barrel and the V-shaped hull armor are the most obvious signs of the T-72.

On the rough road, the tank kept jolting, and the speed did not decrease. They were heading straight for the road bridge over here.

After crossing this road bridge, you will be on the opposite side of the flat river, and you will be able to reach Karachi directly!

This highway bridge, built more than ten years ago, has a load of only 20 tons, and now, the T-72, which is more than 40 tons, is not afraid that tanks will crush the bridge here, and it rumbles up.

The tracks pressed against it, creaking and creaking, getting closer and closer to the shore on this side.

The second, the third... This highway bridge, at the same time, pressed up five or six tanks.

Hassan was about to give the order to detonate explosives and blow up the bridge, but he saw the bridge in front of him, and concrete blocks kept falling.

The bridge couldn't hold up.

In later generations, more than 100 tons of heavy trucks, pressed on the bridge of the highway, are usually fine, but if several vehicles, pressed to the side at the same time, will crush the bridge.

Now the same is true, the bridge has a weight limit of twenty tons, one tank, forty tons pressed up, and there is no problem, two, eighty tons, it will be fine in a short time, but this is not two, but six, more than 200 tons, directly pressed on a bridge with a weight limit of twenty tons, and just like that, the bridge was crushed.

"Boom." The bridge could not bear the weight and finally collapsed completely.

As the bridge collapsed, the tanks on it fell into the water, and the tankers screamed inside, not knowing what was happening, only to feel the ground in their field of vision, and suddenly it turned into a river.

The collapsed bridge, sunk into the river, the rushing river, constantly washing away the remaining fragments, and those tanks, falling into the water, the hatch opened, and the tankmen climbed out of it.

It's terrible to have no culture, and the bridge clearly says that the weight limit is twenty! Hassan here couldn't help but think.

It's better this way, the Indians themselves crushed the bridge, see how they cross the river!

Now, Unit A is still in secrecy, and the Indians, who are unable to cross the river, have not even noticed that the forces that have ambushed them on the other side of the river, and they are worrying about how to cross the river.

An Indian, jumping from the tank, stepping on the debris below, slowly entered the water.

The collapsed bridge was raised to the bottom of the river, and the deepest part of the river was only up to his waist.

He began to wave backwards, a T-72 tank, the driver showed his head, slowly started the tank, actually trying to drive along the ruins below.

The art masters are bold, and the driving skills of the three people are very superb, as long as you look at the motorcycle performance during their military parade, it is the same as acrobatics.

Now, the tank was moving slowly, slowly, and Hassan gasped, if the other side could really move over, then his side would have to be ready to shoot.

All the M551 tank guns of the M81 tank are stuffed with Oak stick anti-tank missiles, which are just wide enough to give full play to the range of this missile, while the accuracy of the opponent's tank guns will drop greatly at this distance.

"Crunch, squeak." Just as the T-72 tank was more than halfway through, suddenly, the tracks on one side were idling, and with it, the tank rolled over to this side.

Empty!

The tank, which turned 90 degrees directly, fell to the side, and the tankmen inside crawled out, angry.

Seeing that it was about to pass, I fell here!

The tanks in the back did not dare to risk it anymore, and now, it is time to snatch it! If the Pakistan Army reacts quickly, they will not be able to pass any further.

The commander of the 33 Tank Division, standing on a T-72 tank in the back, looked blocked by the river, and if he wanted to make a detour, he had to be dozens of kilometers upstream to find a new bridge.

Moreover, the bridges of the Pakistanis are too weak to pass through the guò tanks! A detour is a waste of time and is not in line with your own strategy.

Originally, the tank could also be swam, but it was necessary to install a snorkel and apply sealing oil, which was even more time-consuming.

"Where's the bridge tank?" The division commander shouted, "Why haven't you come up yet?" ”

Because they had to cross several rivers, they brought bridge-building tanks with them when they came, but they didn't catch up for the time being.

Ten minutes later, a special iron bump came up.

At the bottom was the chassis of the tank, which, judging by the track structure, was identical to the T-55, except that the round turret at the top was removed and replaced with a flat, retractable steel bridge.

It's finally here!

This bridge-erecting tank started to the bank of the river, and then, started the hydraulic cylinder, lifted the folding steel bridge at one end, and then, slowly, the folding steel bridge was released section by section, and the front one was the other, which directly entered the water and became a bridge, and the pontoon bridge dozens of meters long was erected on the riverside. The tank retreated, and the second bridge tank drove up, drove onto the pontoon, and when it reached the front, continued to stretch out its own bridge, and connected to the section of the pontoon bridge that had just been erected. It was more than a few dozen meters forward, and in this way, one after another, the pontoon bridge was soon erected in the middle.

What a speed! Hassan watched as the pontoon bridge was erected longer and longer, even past the middle of the river, and would soon be erected.

Can't wait any longer!

"Attention, aim at the T-72 tanks on the opposite shore and let them know how good we are!" Hassan said over the radio: "Shoot! ”

"Boom, boom!" Twenty tanks, twenty 152-mm guns, twenty anti-tank missiles were fired.

Artillery-launched missiles, the most famous of which in later generations, were Soviet 125-mm artillery-launched missiles, in fact, the Americans studied them much earlier.

Using a tank gun to shoot missiles can give the missile a greater initial velocity and fly farther, and at the same time, unlike a cannonball, it will go out uncontrolled, and it can continue to control its course and accurately hit the enemy.

After firing, the shooter proceeded to aim the target tank with the sighting device. The fire control system of this missile uses visual aiming and infrared automatic tracking technology, which does not require a handle to operate, and only needs to aim infrared at the target tank to be able to hit the opponent.

On this side of the river, there was a huge roar, and suddenly, the Indian troops on the opposite bank were taken aback.

What's going on? Why did there come out of the fire on the other side, and also, something flew over?

"Attention, there are Pakistani troops hiding on the other side!" One of the tankmen at the front saw it clearly, but alas, it was too late.

The cylindrical missile flew straight over, and when the missile collided with the main armor of the tank, everyone heard the sound from hell.

The level of protection did not exceed 400 mm of homogeneous armor, and the missile flying from the opposite side had an armor-piercing capacity of more than 500 mm, so this missile easily penetrated and inside the T-72, detonating the sub-loading ammunition inside.

"Boom!" A loud bang came from inside the tank's hull, and the turret flew out. (To be continued......)
