Chapter 334: Counterattack begins

"We must do everything we can to end this large-scale conflict." At this moment, CIA Director William, who had not spoken, spoke: "We have received accurate information that this Soviet military operation is not only to end the division of the regime in the north of Afghanistan, but also to open access to the Indian Ocean. ”

Open access to the Indian Ocean!

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in order to open a passage to the south, which the United States absolutely did not allow, and the nearby oil-producing countries in the Middle East were the main guarantee for the stability of the US economy, and the United States would never let the Soviet Union choke its throat.

"Is the information confirmed?" President Reagan's eyes widened.

"It was formulated by the Soviets, Marshal Akhromeyev, who is now commanding the war in Afghanistan." "There is a lot of pressure on Moscow, and when Gorbachev comes to power, he wants to reap the fruits of the war in Afghanistan as much as possible," William said. ”

It was very difficult to obtain information about the Soviet Union, and this information was obtained only after sacrificing a few excellent intelligence officers, including local intelligence officers in Afghanistan, who entered the base camp of the Soviets in Kabul to get this information.

The intelligence is real, but they don't know that this is actually formulated by Marshal Akhromeyev when the Soviet Union first invaded Afghanistan, and they thought it was the next strategy that the current Soviet Union was about to carry out.

"Is the Pakistan Army delaying its dispatch because it is afraid that the Soviets will invade from behind when it is engaged in a war with the Indian Army?" Weinberg was also aware of the strict zhòng sexuality.

"Yes, our last test launch of the Patriot missile temporarily frightened the Soviets, but if the Soviets insist on going their own way, their rocket artillery. Surface-to-surface missiles will easily destroy Pakistan's military bases, and under the attack from both sides, Pakistan may really be destroyed. William said.

"It seems that we have to support Pakistan with all our might." Reagan took another puff on his cigar and said, "Agree to this military aid to Pakistan." Also, contact Huaxia to contain India from the north, and let the Indians know that there is a greater threat to their north. ”

"Also, we should meet Gorbachev for a while, the Soviet Union has been suffering from a famine for several years, and there is not enough food to eat. We should ask Gorbachev whether he wants cheese or missiles! ”

Reagan poked his cigar into the ashtray beside him, as if he had poked it into Gorbachev's chrysanthemum.

The Soviets, who couldn't even fill their stomachs, actually wanted to take Afghanistan and open the Indian Ocean channel. Is the battle for supremacy more important to them than their stomachs?

This is not the time for World War II. The inhabitants of Moscow were given only one or two slices of bread a day, and they had to support the front even when they were hungry, and it was time for the great Soviet people to wake up, and they were not also clamoring for perestroika? If you want bread, give up force!

"We should continue to push forward with negotiations on an INF treaty and put pressure on the Soviet side." Reagan continued.

Medium Channel. It is medium-range missiles, including short- and medium-range missiles with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers. It is the striking force of the first round. The last time the USSR used the Oka missile, it was of this type. And negotiations on the destruction of these missiles began in 81. Progress has been slow at the time.

It's time to put pressure on Gorbachev!

Islamabad.

"President, the United States has agreed to military aid to us." Musha'f told Mhammad: "The air-to-air, air-to-surface missiles that we applied for will arrive at our army one after another." ”

The American side finally agreed! Two billion dollars, enough for Pakistan to fight this war! This proves that it is completely worth it for our side to stop acting for two days!

In particular, those new missiles are delivered and replenished into Pakistan's arsenal, and Pakistan's certainty of victory is even greater!

"Okay, then it's time for us to do it now! This first step is the armored forces of the Indians! ”

The fact that the Indians dared to drive their tanks into Pakistani territory, and that they were not from the plains and deserts in the center, but from the swamps in the south, was a foolish act of seeking death! Armored forces can come over, but what about logistics? In modern warfare, it is logistical support!

The 18th Infantry Division, with its own flesh and blood, blocked the banks of the Indus River, laying the foundation for its own strategic outflanking, and now, it is finally time to destroy them!

"Order, all A-7 attack aircraft, mounted with Maverick missiles, prepare to destroy the Indians from the air! Twenty Tomcat fighters were sent over, commanded by Rick, to defend air supremacy over the battlefield, and if the Indian Air Force dared to come, completely destroy them! ”

The air war with the Soviet side has come to an end, these days, the Soviets have not continued to mobilize air power, the two sides have not had too many firefights, mobilize twenty Tomcats to the past, and Rick's ten, thirty Tomcats, plus twenty F-16 fighters, can completely protect their own air supremacy!

After these few days of preparation, Pakistan's counteroffensive has finally begun!

"It's finally here!" Looking at the Pingchuan in front of him, the commander of the 31st Armored Division, Shiv Sharma, opened the hatch of the T-72 tank and looked at the plain in the distance, and sighed in his heart.

Last night, he had gathered all his tanks, scraped together enough fuel, and headed north, bypassing Hydebara, and snatching a local bridge in the small town of Hara in the north.

After a few hundred kilometers of detour, they finally made it over, crossed the damn Indus River, and it was time to go straight to Karachi!

"Victory belongs to our great India! Belongs to our 31st Panzer Division! Schiff said on the radio: "Now, I order, crush the 18th Infantry Division of Pakistan, and then advance to Karachi and completely occupy Karachi!" ”

The defeat at sea has made the Indian military unable to raise its head in front of the whole world, they need victory so badly! Their own armored forces have been blocked by an infantry division on the other side of the river for so long, and now, they need to completely strangle that infantry division!

At this time, the sun has just risen.

The sun shone on the plains, the armored troops advanced along the fields, irrigated by the Indus River, where there were fertile soils, and there were fertile fields everywhere, and the Indian tanks directly crushed through these fields, as if they were crushed on the body of the country of Pakistan, and a refreshing feeling rose from the hearts of the Indian armored soldiers.

Cross-country speed, one hour of advance, you can reach the defense line of the 18th Division, and your own side will be like a knife, directly inserted into the back of the 18th Division! It was as if Schiff had seen his own armored forces, crushing Pakistan's infantry divisions into pulp.

Against the armored forces, the infantry division will only be slaughtered!

Unfortunately, they were still late.

When the roar of fighters was heard in the sky, accompanied by the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the armored forces, it first stopped, and the radar of the Shile River began to turn, looking for the direction of the threat.

Just a minute after the radar was turned on, an anti-radiation missile came from the sky, shattering the gunnery radar of the Shile River, and then, another Maverick missile, which followed behind, pierced through the Shile River from the top and exploded inside.

"Boom!" The destruction of the Shile River is only the beginning.

Countless A-7 fighters appeared from the sky, and under the wings on both sides, they were loaded with Maverick surface missiles, which were specially used to clean up the tanks of the Indians.

As for infantry fighting vehicles with weaker armor, then there is no need to waste missiles, a 20-mm cannon, fired from the sky, is enough to penetrate the armor of the BMP, and only one hit 20-mm penetrating incendiary bomb is enough to solve a tank.

When the A-7 raged for more than 20 minutes, the entire battlefield had become a hell on earth, with a large number of destroyed tanks still burning, detonated T-72s, and flying turrets.

The Indian armored troops jumped out of their own armored vehicles, they had already discovered that in front of the strike force in the air, they did not have any room to return fire.

The 18 Infantry Division had already surrounded it from the flanks, blocking their way forward, and they either retreated or surrendered with their hands raised.

On this side of the river, the 33 Panzer Division was also facing an air strike, moreover, they spotted the armored forces of Pakistan that appeared behind them!

The two armored brigades of the 5th Army in Karachi outflanked them in a roundabout way, blocking their rear road, and now, their task was to keep an eye on the armored forces of the Indians and not let them withdraw.

The Type 59 tanks rumbled and started, because there were too many Indian armored divisions, scattered over a large plain, and the A-7 attack planes in the sky, like combs, combed the ground back and forth, but there were still many Indian armored fighting vehicles that were not affected, and they began to retreat regardless of the blow in order to avoid the attack.

In front of them, there were Pakistani armored troops, and when they saw the tanks with round turrets on the opposite side from the sights, the Indian armored troops did not pay attention.

Your T-72 tank, with a 125mm gun, can easily penetrate them at a distance of 1,000 meters! And the opponents, these old 59 tanks, had to be at least eight hundred meters away in order to shoot accurately.

The sighting system of the 59 tank is still manual, whether it can hit or not, completely depends on the experience of the commander and the gun commander, when shooting, it must be stopped, and the performance is not as good as the T-55 in the Indian army.

However, when the opposite tanks in the scope were getting closer and closer, the Indian tankers were wondering, those tanks on the opposite side, there seemed to be something wrong, right? The barrel is a bit out of proportion to the hull.

"Boom!" At this moment, the opposite tank opened fire, at a distance of one and a half thousand meters! Moreover, when the other party was firing, they didn't stop! (To be continued......)
