Chapter 343: Desperate Bloody Battle

Eastern and Western tanks, the design ideas are different.

The East pays attention to small, the smaller, the more it can reduce the projection area and reduce the probability of being hit, while at the same time, the tanks in the West are more ergonomic, in order to provide a good combat environment for tankers, their vehicles are relatively large, and the turret is welded and larger.

The larger turret brings more space, twenty or thirty rounds of shells, can be placed in the tail compartment, at the same time, the tail compartment of the turret can also balance the weight with the barrel, and at the same time, there is a pressure relief plate in the back, once the ammunition is detonated, you can pass through the guò pressure relief plate, reduce the risk of explosion.

But this is only idealized, after the turret is hit, what will happen can only be tested in actual combat, and now, when the Arjun tank of the Indians was hit, the ammunition inside was immediately detonated, and the heavy turret was overturned.

The T-72 in the back was almost the same result, this first round of fierce blows killed dozens of tanks in front, and the armored forces in the back did not fall into chaos, at this moment, they realized that it was the Pakistanis coming!

The sacrifice at the front, which won the opportunity for the rear, almost at the same time, they closed the hatch, turned off the headlights, turned on the infrared headlights, and began to enter the combat state.

The tank turned and drove off the road, and at the same time, in the bumps, the automatic loader loaded the chamber with armor-piercing shells.

Protect the capital!

Here appeared the armored forces of Pakistan, their goal is already clear, not Kashmir, not Chandigarh, actually New Delhi!

The 23rd Armored Brigade is India's ace unit, now. They showed their fighting power, and they moved from a state of march to a state of battle.

It's a pity that the equipment is still at a disadvantage, and the biggest disadvantage is the infrared headlights.

In the night vision device of the Leopard 2 tank. Those infrared headlights are the best target designation, and the commanders keep pointing to the target, one shell after another is stuffed in, flying out of the muzzle, and flying towards the Indian armored unit opposite.

The T-72 tanks are moving forward despite their sacrifices, they are going to pounce and take out the armored forces of Pakistan!

It's a pity that they never get the edge. Their infrared headlights can only see each other within a kilometer, but at this time, the Pakistani tank force on the opposite side has always remained a kilometer away.

The Leopard 2 tank began to fall backwards, and as it retreated, it continued to fire at the front of the Indian army.

And 59 tanks. It galloped quickly across the field, preparing to outflank the rear of this armored force. Surround and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The Indians seemed to have gone crazy, there was only one single tank left, and they dared to continue the charge, and under such a fearless attack, there was really a T-72 tank, which was close to a distance of eight hundred meters. And then shot their own shells.

"Boom!" With flames in the muzzle, the shelled tail stabilized the armor-piercing bullet and flew towards the opposite tank.

"Brake!" The commander shouted, "Accelerate forward!" ”

Originally, the body of the car was backwards, but now, the driver slammed on the brakes. In a violent inertia, the car stopped, and the driver pushed the gear lever forward, reached the entry gear, and then stepped on the accelerator, and the Leopard 2 tank quickly drove forward.

At this moment, the armor-piercing bullet had already flown over, maybe the opponent's fire control was not accurate, if it just continued to reverse, the opponent would not hit at all, and now, it has become a forward, but it happened to be touched by the armor-piercing bullet.

When there was a crashing sound from outside the hull, all the tankers were terrified at that moment, this sound meant that their side had been hit, maybe in the next second, the red-hot metal entered and killed them directly, or the ammunition was detonated, killing them completely.

As soldiers, the moment they were uniformed on board, they were ready to sacrifice for their country, but now they were about to fight to New Delhi, they didn't want to die here, they wanted to drive their chariots and rush into New Delhi!

The armor-piercing bullet, the warhead just pierced into the milk cover in front of the turret, the milk cover is composed of advanced composite armor produced by the Eastern countries, this warhead, after piercing into it, relying on the slender body, relying on the huge kinetic energy, kept drilling inside, when it successfully pierced the composite armor, it was exhausted, and then continued to move forward, knocked down the main armor, continued to move forward ten centimeters, and finally stopped.

The sound of collision outside stopped, there was nothing inside the tank, no heat flowing, no detonating explosives, the commander's eyes, staring at the scope, found that the field of view of the scope was crooked.

It must have been the commander's scope above that was deflected from the huge impact just now!

"My scope is normal, we can continue to fight." The gun commander on the side said.

"We're fine, keep fighting!" The commander shouted, opened the hatch, and got out of it, since he couldn't use the periscope, then go out and observe directly!

In World War II, armored troops were often like this, the top of the turret was not covered, and the commander used a telescope outside to observe the surrounding targets, and when the target was found, the commander was notified. Therefore, in the fierce battle, sometimes the commander will be hit by the shells fired by the opponent, and the lower body inside the tank is still intact, and the upper body has become fragments.

As the battle continued, the T-72 that rushed in, after firing the shells, was instantly hit by three more shells and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Here, the 59 tank had already made a detour and outflanked the armored car behind the armored brigade, and at this time, those infantrymen had already got off the armored car and began to resist on the spot.

These armored vehicles are OT-62 tracked armored personnel carriers. It is not an original Soviet product, but a joint development of Czechoslovakia and Poland on the Soviet БТР-ПК armored personnel carrier, equipped with the Czech Army in 1964, the Polish Army and Marine Corps in 1966, and after that, it was exported abroad in large quantities, and the Indian Army was also equipped with more than 100 vehicles.

The armor of this armored vehicle is even weaker, and a 12.7 mm machine gun can be pierced with an armor-piercing warhead.

"Boom!" The 59-mm tank gun of the 120 tank opened fire, and instead of armor-piercing shells, grenades, fragments of grenades, scattered in all directions, and the Indian soldiers, who came out of the armored vehicles, suddenly fell in large pieces.

The machine guns of the 59 tank were also constantly strafing both sides, killing and wounding a large number of enemies.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and on the ground, an Indian soldier took an RPG bazooka and fired at a 59 tank.

"Boom!" The side of the 59 tank, unable to block the fire of the RPG, suddenly the tank was penetrated and burned into flames.

The tank next to him, machine gun bullets kept firing, and the sneak attacker was instantly broken into several pieces.

The battle is being fought brutally.

India's 55th Mechanized Brigade also followed, facing the sudden appearance of Pakistani troops, who were also infantry, but still remained.

Hold on here, stop the Pakistani army from continuing to advance, even if they all die here, you must stop the Pakistani army!

The fighting was brutal, and the Indian soldiers were even strapped with explosives and were about to die with the Pakistani tanks.

At the same time, the battle report from the front was also quickly transmitted to New Delhi.

Rajiv hadn't slept yet, he was in the Ministry of Defense, his face was pale.

Two armored divisions are finished.

The 31st Armored Division, the 33rd Armored Division, India's most elite army, all disappeared on Pakistani soil, and the two armored brigades that followed up to rescue also lost half of them, and on the edge of the swamp, the 33rd Armored Division, which had dozens of tanks left, ran out of ammunition and fuel, and they chose to surrender.

The establishment of these two armored divisions will disappear from the Indian Army, a whole two armored divisions! In the bombing of the Pakistani Air Force, under the pincer of their ground forces, it just disappeared.

Pakistan's losses, which should be about half an armored brigade and half an infantry division, and even then, a complete Pakistani victory, half an hour ago, the news reached New Delhi, and Rajiv's angry voice roared throughout the Ministry of Defense.

"Two armored divisions, lost like this, how can we account for our people? All of our top management should take the blame and resign! Rajiv said: "Who came up with such a stupid idea to attack in the swamp?" Don't know that our tanks are for fuel? Don't you know that without logistical supplies, you can't win the war at all? ”

No one answered Rajiv, when he planned to give it to Rajiv, Rajiv's expression was not like this, and the last person to make the decision was also Rajiv.

"We have to fight back, we have to make the Pakistanis pay!" Rajiv is also going crazy: "What about the Scud missiles? When will the Soviets bring it over? ”

"Prime Minister, they have already loaded the transport plane from the Soviet Union, and in more than ten hours, they should be able to transport it to our airport." Sendarji said.

More than ten hours! It's going to be fast, and if it's going to be shipped, it's going to take a few months. However, it is estimated that the prime minister will not be able to wait even for these ten hours.

"Well, after coming, immediately transfer to Sisar, and from there enter the desert area to launch, will our people operate?" Rajiv said.

"At the same time, the Soviet side will send some experts over to guide us in launching." Sendarji said.

In order to transport these missiles, the Soviet Union mobilized more than 30 An-22 transport planes, and even then, it could not be transported all at once, but had to fly two or three times.

"Prime Minister, Gernar has appeared the main force of Pakistan's armored forces!" Just then, an adjutant hurriedly came in and reported. (To be continued......)
