Just yesterday's air battle, Pakistan's fighter planes took off and fought with the fighters of the Soviet Air Force again, and successfully shot down dozens of Soviet Air Force fighters, including those bombers, guarding the sky in northern Afghanistan.

At the same time, Marshal Akhromeyev, as if he had lost a gamble, was unwilling to lose and once again mobilized fighters from Eastern Europe in a vain attempt to seize air supremacy in northern Afghanistan, and at the same time, a ground war was also fought in northern Afghanistan.

The flood drowned 20,000 Soviet troops, and the 40th Army went completely crazy, they got into the mountains and began to fight with the Free Afghan Army, which was very sharp, and in order to avoid a head-on battle with the imposing Soviet army, the Free Army of Afghanistan began to retreat gradually and systematically into the deeper mountains and forests.

And now, just when everyone's attention is on the north of Afghanistan, the southeastern corner of Pakistan is once again receiving unfavorable news.

The Indians suddenly crossed the swamp and appeared there, they followed the road, advanced quickly, and judging by their marching route, their goal, was Karachi!

Karachi is Pakistan's military port, and if the Indians take Karachi, then the Indians will be able to control Pakistan's economic lifeline, after all, maritime trade is related to Pakistan's future.

This time, the Indians can be regarded as smarter, and they actually thought of attacking from there! It's just, through the swamps, how can their logistical supplies be brought over? Logistics is not only fuel, food, but also ammunition. The 125 mm shells used in their T-72 tanks could never be captured from their own side, and could only be transported through guò logistics.

"We can't afford to hesitate." "President, we have to move our tank forces and move quickly to intercept the Indian armoured forces," Musha'f said. Keeping them on the periphery of Karachi, if they are allowed to enter Karachi, will cause heavy damage to our military port. ”

It's not just a military port, it's a shipyard, Pakistan's own aircraft carrier, which is now being refitted there, and if the Indians take it away, a lot of equipment in the port. It was all destroyed in the war, and Pakistan had to spend a lot of money to repair it.

"Yes, we need to stop them." "Here in Tedah, on the west bank of the Indus, we have set up the first line of defense," Mhammad said. ”

The Indus River is not one of the main rivers in India, but in Pakistan, which is irrigated by Pakistan. Agricultural production is almost entirely dependent on the river.

And the Indus. It flows into the sea about 100 kilometers east of Karachi, and Teda, a city near the mouth of the sea, is located on the Indus River Delta.

The surging Indus River is like the blood vessels of Pakistan, and the ancient city of Teda at the mouth of the Indus River. It is the seed of Pakistan. In the 8th century, Muslims from the Middle East set foot on the land of South Asia and built the first mosque on the subcontinent, where Islam spread throughout South Asia.

It is a famous ancient city in Pakistan with a lot of ancient buildings. It is also a place that tourists like to come to.

Now, it will once again be covered in war, and everyone is not in a good mood.

"Our garrison in Karachi will not be dispatched very quickly, they are now in a state of readiness, the tanks are replenishing ammunition, within an hour, I am afraid they will not be able to dispatch, they must reach the Indus River within two hours, to be able to stop the Indian army, and our tanks cannot travel this hundred kilometers in an hour.

From Karachi to the Indus River, there is a distance of almost a hundred kilometers. Even if the tank maneuvered at the maximum speed on the road, it was only sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, while the Indian armored forces on the opposite side, advancing rapidly, could cross the Indus River in two hours.

"Dispatch our F-16s and A-7 attack planes and blow them up on the road." said Air Force Commander Arslan.

"The Indians are fully prepared, as soon as our attack planes take off, their fighters will also take off, and seize air supremacy with us, if our fighters are mounted on the ground, they will just fall for their tricks." "We need to deploy 20 to 40 Tomcat fighters to have a sufficient advantage, and now, we have to concentrate on the Soviets, and we can't take too many for the time being," Mhammad said. ”

As long as they fly fighter planes together, they will definitely take off, and they can only postpone this action for the time being, and let the Indians run rampant for a few more days.

Of course, it was only a few days, and in these two days, the Pakistani Air Force would go all out against the Indian Air Force after it had finished its brutality against the Soviet Air Force.

"So what do we do?" Musha'f asked.

"Send Force A, parachute to the west of the Indus, prevent the Indian armored forces from crossing the river, hold out for an hour, and wait for the armored forces of the 5th Army in Karachi to arrive." Mhammad said.

Karachi, an important port of Pakistan, where Pakistan garrisoned the forces of an army, and the 5th Army had two armored brigades, all of which were in Karachi.

"Are we sending out the armored forces of Multan?" Mushaaf asked: "The armored forces there, equipped with new Leopard 2 tanks, have a complete advantage over the tanks of the Indians. ”

"Nope." "I have other uses for the troops there," Mhammad said. ”

Although the tank brigade in Karachi is still 59 tanks, it is equipped with advanced fire control and night vision systems, and uses 120 mm tank guns, which also has an advantage over the monkey version of the T-72 of the Indians.

Moreover, it is only to resist for a day or two, and after a day or two, as long as your air force eases up, it will be able to free up its hands to solve it.

The decisive battle between tanks and tanks is long overdue for the retirement of the stage of history, and the best way to deal with tanks is to have planes overhead!

"Time delay is not good for us." Musha'f said: "The Indians' armored forces will continue to come, and their navy will also appear on the outskirts of Karachi, trying to conquer it in one fell swoop. ”

"Karachi, it's a decoy." "A decoy for the Indians to desperately take, when they keep mobilizing their forces in a vain attempt to take Karachi, there will be an emptiness inside, and our armored forces will drive the president straight in!" ”

Offense, offense is the best defense! When the Indians attacked Karachi, Mhammad had already thought of the scene that Pakistan's successive presidents wanted to see, his own troops, straight to New Delhi!

"Yes!" Musha'af's eyes lit up suddenly: "It's Karachi's 5th Army that is half killed, as long as we can achieve our combat goals, it's worth it!" ”

"Deliver the order at once." Mr. Muhammad said he looked again to northern Afghanistan, which has always been his focus.

Force A, a rapid reaction force formed by Mhammad, is absolutely under the command of Mhammad, and this is the force that Mhammad trusts most.

As a rapid reaction force, their equipment is light and light weapons, and a few months ago, they finally had a good heavy equipment, the M551 tank imported from the United States!

As a rapid reaction force, Unit A is in a combat state almost every moment, and now Unit A has expanded to three battalions, one battalion for training, one battalion for recuperation, and one battalion to maintain combat readiness, which is the same as the establishment of the US special forces, and they can appear anywhere in Pakistan within an hour.

When the order was given, the combat-ready battalion of Unit A was quickly dispatched.

The C-130 transport plane stopped on the runway, and the M551 tank rumbled up, and in the wide tail compartment, a honeycomb aluminum alloy chassis was just pressed up by the tank and stopped steadily.

"Fixed!" The squad leader of the tank shouted, several tankers came up, fixed with high-strength nylon and aluminum alloy ropes on both sides, and parachutes were directly attached to the chassis, which is a tank that can be airdropped!

There was still an open space at the front of the tank, where the soldiers were neatly equipped, sitting with camouflage paste on their faces and assault rifles in their hands, and since this was an anti-armor battle, half of them were carrying individual rocket launchers, which were retractable American M72 rocket launchers.

The Indians' armored troops are wreaking havoc on their own territory, and what they have to do is to stop the Indians' offensive momentum!

Ten minutes later, the C-130 transport plane slid off the runway, and by fifty minutes, they were on the west bank of the Indus River.

"Attention, prepare for the airdrop." The captain's voice came from the cabin.

The tail hatch slowly opened, and the pallet drove the M551 tank above under the action of the guide rail, and began to move slowly backwards, backwards, and the huge tail hatch supported the tank, and then, the tank left the tail hatch, and a few umbrella flowers appeared in the air.

Paratroopers are a special force that can appear anywhere and react quickly, but paratroopers are limited to airlift, cannot use heavy weapons, and if they are surrounded by the enemy's armored forces, then they will only die in battle, so tanks that can be airborne are born.

The full weight of the 60 tons of the main battle tank cannot be airdropped at all, and even if it goes down, it can only be broken, and even if the parachute used by the spaceship is brought over, it will not be able to support the 60-ton big guy.

So, the M551 tank is very lightweight, this tank is welded with 7039 aluminum armor, the cockpit is in the front, the fighting compartment is in the center, and the power compartment is in the rear. At the same time, there is no high-power tank engine, using GM's 6V-53T 2-stroke 6-cylinder water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine, the maximum power is only 300 horsepower, which is about the same as the horsepower of a heavy truck, and the transmission device is a TG-250 hydromechanical transmission with a hydraulic torque converter and a locking clutch, with 4 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. The gearbox body is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy material, which reduces weight. (To be continued......)
