Chapter 227: Prepare for a counterattack

The Kashmir Valley, the richest region in the whole of Kashmir, occupies this place, which is equivalent to having a granary!

Since the First Indo-Pakistani War, the Indians have firmly controlled the area, and their army can be stationed in the valley at an altitude of only 1,600 meters, while the Pakistani army can only be stationed in the mountains at a height of several thousand meters, and many soldiers suffer frostbite and even freeze to death in the cold season every year.

From then on, Pakistan could also garrison a large number of troops here and continue to advance in all directions at any time, while the Indians could only defend the desolate places of Jammu and Ladakh.

This is an important step in changing the strategic posture and has important implications for Pakistan!

Throughout the day, the C-130 was constantly transporting troops, and at night, not only troops, but also light armored vehicles, were transported by guΓ² transport aircraft.

In the evening, the attack planes finally freed up their hands and began to attack the outposts on the border line west of Srinagar and the Pakistani-controlled district.

The resistance of these posts was fierce, they were on the front lines of the conflict and had long been prepared.

The anti-aircraft machine gun kept spitting out tongues of fire from the post, and two Indian soldiers, desperately guarding the post, the bullet chain rattled, and the bullets dragged the tracer, and flew towards the A-7 attack aircraft in the sky.

Facing the firing point on the ground, the pilot made a skillful turn in the air, pointed the nose of the plane downside again, and then, a laser-guided bomb, began to make final preparations for throwing.

The pilot pressed the reticle firmly above the firing point and pressed the button.

The laser-guided bomb staggered down from the sky and, along the laser beam, flew towards that firing point.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da." The anti-aircraft machine gun continued to shoot frantically, the laser-guided bomb. Suddenly it exploded in the sky.

"Boom!" The fire was shining and shrapnel was flying.

The other side actually hit the flying bomb with an anti-aircraft machine gun!

One more! The pilot of the A-7 slashed over the post and tried to turn around and make another attack.

However, on the dashboard in front, the red light was already on, and the pilot's head was looking to the sides. The wing pylons were empty, and he had already dropped all the bombs.

What to do? Seeing that the fighters on the ground, because they could not get effective control in the air, had to brave the fire of machine guns and charge forward, the pilots were finally angry.

The fighter swooped down from the sky again, and looking at the hotline on the heads-up display, the pilot pressed the button again.

The 6-barreled 20mm rotating Vulcan cannon will be a dense rain of bullets. Projected, at the same time, anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground were also firing at the A-7 attack aircraft in the sky.

The 20-mm shell swept through the machine-gun position, and the two shooters were suddenly blown out of their bodies, and their flesh and blood flew sideways.

"Hooray! Thank you to our Air Force! The fighters on the ground shouted loudly. Keep charging.

Finally, the post was taken.

The battle continued until midnight. The main road was finally opened, and the heavy troops of Rawalpindi's Third Army began to advance rapidly along the mountain road towards Srinagar.

The Type 59 tank, a tank from the East, is the main tank of Pakistan's armament. And in the battles between Pakistan and India, this tank has repeatedly built miraculous feats.

In order to better attack Pakistan, India has built roads from the border to Srinagar, and now these roads have just provided convenience to Pakistan. Tank troops can run fast on the road, puffs of smoke, coming out of the back of the tank, 520 horsepower engines, full force.

In the middle of the night, the tank units finally moved into Srinagar.

In one of the tanks, General Mirza Aslam-Berg opened the hatch on the roof of the turret and came down from above with a grim face.

As the commander of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Mirza did not arrive with the C-130 transport plane, and he had to be careful if a portable missile could fall at any time on the ground.

It wasn't until the troops had fully occupied Srinagar that he moved in with the separate tank brigade.

Recovered, finally the Kashmir Valley! Eighty percent of the population here is Muslim, and it should be Pakistani land!

Breathing in the fresh air of the Kashmir Valley, Lieutenant General Mirza looked at the river in the distance, at the green land around him, at the vast wilderness, and his eyes were almost moist.

Occupy this place, and Pakistan has a vast agricultural area! There is enough food here to feed the inhabitants of northern Pakistan!

Your own warriors no longer need to be stationed on the plateau, from here, you can hoard troops and horses, and you can support which direction there is a situation.

The Kashmir region, which has been stalemate for decades, took only one day under the powerful offensive of Pakistan's air force, under the bold attack plan!

Islamabad.

A smile spread across everyone's faces, even Zia-Haq, who had always had a strained face, was smiling at this time.

"Our army has recovered the entire Kashmir Valley!" With the news coming back, Pakistan's decisive victory has the whole country rejoicing.

"Mhammad, you are the first to be able to take the Kashmir Valley this time!" Zia-Haq said.

"These are the merits of all the soldiers." "I just mentioned a building," Mhammad said. Mr. President, we need to prevent the Indians from counterattacking, and the Indians will never be willing to lose. ”

The Indians have suffered one defeat after another, and this time, they have lost the fertile Kashmir Valley, and they will certainly not give up.

"Yes, the Fourth Army, followed by the Third Army, marches into the Kashmir Valley, and the First Army, enters the eastern defense line, ready for a counterattack by the Indians at any time!" Zia-Haq said.

"Mr. President, what we have to prepare for, not just in the Kashmir Valley, what we have to prevent is that the Indians will be ready to fight a full-scale war with us." "Our entire eastern defense line is in danger, especially in the desert," Mhammad said. ”

Having eaten the Kashmir Valley, the angry Indians may gather a large number of forces and pounce on the entire front.

"Yes, we are fully defending against the Indians in the east." Zia-ulq said: "If the Indians dare to come, we will let them come and go!" ”

The atmosphere of victory was contagious to everyone, and now everyone is complacent about this victory.

Although the Kashmir Valley has been taken, however, Pakistan is facing a greater crisis, in the past, it could only be called a conflict, and now, it may be about to enter a national war, Pakistan has been at a disadvantage, and the armored force is not comparable to the Indians, if on the long eastern border, the Indians all break in, the pressure on Pakistan will increase instantly.

So, in this case, you have to rely on external forces!

Mhammad saw far ahead, and at the same time, he believed, Zia-ul-Haq must have seen something.

"Let history remember this day." Zia-ul-Haq continued: "We have rescued our compatriots and restored the Kashmir Valley! We have designated this day, September 25, as Victory Day in Pakistan! ”

V-Day!

"All troops, go back and arrange immediately, and prepare to deal with the counterattack of the Indians!" Zia-ul-Haq continued: "We need to let the Indians know who is the master of South Asia! ”

"Yes." The officers left one after another, and Mhammad wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zia-ul-Haq: "Mhammad, you stay." ”

"Yes, President." Mhammad said.

"I have an appointment with the American ambassador, and you come with me." Zia-Haq said.

Sure enough, Zia-ul-Haq also knew that in the current situation, only the Americans could continue to put pressure on the Indians. If you want the Iron Lady to obediently submit and take off her pants to poke herself in the chrysanthemum, only the Americans can throw this soap.

With bright lights overhead and a red carpet on the ground, this kind of welcoming ceremony is already of a very high standard.

U.S. Ambassador Lord and Brigadier General Herbert Watson, head of the U.S. Defense Office in Pakistan, walked in with heavy steps.

The US National Defense Representative Office in Pakistan is a department specially separated from the embassy for the purpose of coordinating US military aid to Pakistan and fighting the Soviets.

Brigadier General Watson sat down in his chair with a drooping face, and before Ambassador Lord could speak, Lieutenant General Watson said: "Mr. President, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, you have done an extraordinary job this time. Occupied the Kashmir Valley, Yan zhΓ²ng undermined the peace in the Kashmir region. ”

The United States only wanted to maintain the status quo, and as a result, it did not expect that in one day, Pakistan would send troops and occupy the entire Kashmir Valley.

The United States is confident that it will not be able to do this with its own military strength.

"Out of line?" Hearing Brigadier General Watson's words, Mhammad said: "So, Mr. Brigadier General, may I ask, over the years, India has been encroaching on our border posts, and just a few months ago, it occupied more than 30 of our posts, is it out of line?" Is it too much for a brigade of Indians to try in vain to take our Keberlu region? Is it out of line that the Indians put armored clusters on the borders, intending to storm our borders, to invade our country? ”

"That's all in the past." Brigadier Watson continued: "Anyway, this time you have gone too far. ”

Excessively? Mhammad's face was gloomy and he looked coldly at Brigadier General Watson. (To be continued......)
