For the 72nd Infantry Brigade of the Indian Border Guards, this night was their end.

At the beginning, because of the enclave dispute, there was tension on the national border here, and even a large-scale war would be triggered at one time, but in the end, the enclave problem was finally resolved, and the armored forces that had been mobilized also went back.

After all, for the current Indian army, the important target of the defense is still New Delhi, which is their capital and the heart of India.

There is only one infantry brigade in size, guarding the western border with Bengal, and during the day, they can stand guard and patrol, and at night, they almost always return to the barracks to sleep.

Before going to bed, they will comment again on the current situation, how it is in the Middle East, and then, in the mockery of Iraq, get into the mosquito net, which is already summer, and the climate is not very hot, but it is very stuffy, and it is a little humid, and there are a lot of mosquitoes.

When the shells flew in the sky, the entire border guards were almost asleep, and the shells whistling outside did not wake them up.

"Boom!" A 155-millimeter grenade fell into the barracks and exploded, and in an instant, the air wave overturned the barracks, and the shrapnel flew everywhere, and a large hole more than one meter deep appeared in the ground.

The people in the surrounding barracks woke up in an instant, and when they sat up, they didn't realize what was happening, and then there was the sound of sharp shells flying.

"Run, it's a cannonball!" The clever ones have already reacted, and at this time, staying in the barracks is the most dangerous. Hurry up and run to the bomb shelter!

However, as soon as the words fell, there was another huge explosion, and as soon as the unlucky guy ran out of the door, he came into close contact with a piece of flying shrapnel, and his body was torn apart in an instant. Blood splattered.

"Boom, boom!" Explosions kept sounding, and terrible rocket shells flew! It turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

The terrible thing about rocket artillery is that it has a huge ability to kill a large area, and the area covered by rocket artillery is a sea of death!

The border posts, fortifications, were turned into ruins under heavy shelling.

When the shelling passed, there were stumps and severed arms everywhere. Only a handful of soldiers survived the terrible storm.

However, the ground beneath their bodies had begun to tremble.

Like an earthquake, the ground trembled, making them tremble, armored clusters, this is the movement of the offensive of an army the size of an armored division!

Veterans who have fought several Indo-Pakistani wars. His face was all pale.

A Pakistani Leopard 2 tank has rumbled up. As soon as the shelling stopped, the armored forces were activated, and at this time, thermal imaging of those who were still alive could be seen in the night vision devices.

"Da-da, da-da-da." The tank's side-by-side machine guns fired. Those who did not die were subjected to machine-gun fire from tanks.

Soon, the scene calmed down again.

More tanks, crushed straight through the rubble, rolling torrents of armor. Keep going.

Kolkata, Command of the Eastern Military District of India.

The Indian Army is also divided into military regions, and there are a total of 6 military regions in India in later generations. Among them, the Northern Military Region Command is located in Udampur, Indian-occupied Kashmir, and has jurisdiction over three armies, responsible for the defense of the northern section of the India-Pakistan border and the western section of the India-China border in Kashmir. The Western Military Region Command is located in Chandigarh and has three corps responsible for the defense of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and North Rajasthan. The Eastern Military Region Command is located in Kolkata and has jurisdiction over three armies, which are responsible for the defense of the Indo-Bangladesh border area, the India-Myanmar border area, and the eastern section of the India-China border. The Central Military District Command is located in Lucknow, with one corps under its jurisdiction, which is responsible for the defense of the central states and the border areas of the Central Himalayas, and serves as a reserve for the eastern and western theaters. The Southern Military Region Command is located in Pune and has jurisdiction over two armies, which are responsible for the defense of the southern section of the India-Pakistan border. And until 05 years, India has established a new Southwest Military Region, the headquarters of the military region is located in Jaipur, under the jurisdiction of 2 armies, the defense area covers the important area from Fazlkar in Punjab to Ganganagar and Bikanel districts in Rajasthan.

Now, with Pakistan's victory in a series of wars against India, Kashmir has existed in name only, and the focus is on the western region, so although the Eastern Military Region still nominally has three armies, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Thirty-third Army, in fact, the tanks and armored vehicles equipped in these armies have been packed up and consumed on the Western Front together with the armored corps in the previous wars. On the long border, all of them were lightly armed infantry.

These armies are okay to fight positional warfare, but in the field outside, they simply cannot compete with the armored forces, and with the transfer of veterans, many of them are recruits recruited in the last year or two, and their training is not in place in peacetime, and they have no combat experience and courage.

When there was a large-scale exchange of fire in the east and Pakistani armored forces advanced from the east, a staff officer in the headquarters in Calcutta received the news and turned pale.

If he fulfills his duties, he should immediately wake up the commander of the Eastern Military District, wake up all the staff officers, discuss countermeasures together, and then mobilize other armies to encircle and intercept them, block this invading armored force on the national border, persist in fighting, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, he did not do so, and in recent years, India has been pressed and beaten by Pakistan, and the confidence of the Indian army in its own army has been reduced to the lowest point, and they all know that they will not be able to resist the attack of Pakistan's army.

Instead of being cannon fodder in battle, it is better to retreat quickly! So, putting down the phone, the staff officer ran downstairs almost non-stop, jumped into an Indian-made Tata car, ran back to Canada at a gallop, called his wife and children, and embarked on a journey to escape.

On the phone, he heard the deafening sound of artillery, once the war started, the whole of Kolkata would be in ruins, and at this time, it was his wife and children who were more important.

He did not know that his own cowardice had led to the rapid fall of Calcutta, and to the momentary erosion of the situation in the entire eastern part of India.

Pakistan's 1st Panzer Division was advancing rapidly, and at three o'clock, captured a bridge over a river east of Calcutta, which was the only way to Calcutta.

However, just one bridge, apparently, could not allow the armored forces to pass quickly, and after observing the depth and speed of the river, the armored forces of the front decided to erect a pontoon bridge directly!

Several bridge-building equipment was moving rapidly, and soon, several new bridges were quickly built, and one tank after another rumbled over.

As for the infantry fighting vehicles that accompany the armored forces, such as the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles produced by Pakistan and the American-made M113 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, they all have the ability to float on the water and drive directly over the river.

Cars of equipment passed quickly over the estuary, and at the same time, a rumbling sound sounded above their heads.

Helicopter gunships, loaded with bombs, headed for the airport on the outskirts of Kolkata.

These helicopter gunships are Pakistan's own professional helicopter gunships! The angular shape, the unique cockpit, and the bombs under the short wings on both sides are highly similar to the South African tea falcon.

After several years of development, Pakistan's "self-developed" helicopter gunship has finally matured! Began to equip the army in large quantities, and previously the Yankees wanted to jam Pakistan with Apache helicopters and get Pakistan to agree to certain conditions, but now, Pakistan no longer needs them.

Behind the helicopter gunships are more than 20 Black Hawk helicopters, which transport combat detachments and will quickly arrive at the airfield, taking control of key sectors while awaiting the arrival of their own heavy troops.

It's a busy evening!

When the city of Kolkata appeared in front of me, the east was already showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the armored forces of Pakistan came all the way, as if they were in no man's land!

A tank battalion of an armored brigade of the 1st Armored Division drove to the Kolkata airport, and when they arrived, the battle was over, and the commander of Force A, sitting on a captured Type 59 tank, was waiting for the arrival of this armored unit.

The attack was so sudden that when they landed in the departure hall of the airport, on the runway and on the hangar, they met no resistance from the Indians, and when the helicopter gunships began to attack military targets, the Indians ran away.

This is a dual-use airport, except for a few civilian aircraft on the runway, this airport only has old MiG-21 aircraft, looking at those old antiques, the commander of Unit A is not interested.

The harvest is too little!

They don't know that the other line of troops has gained a lot!

Port of Kolkata.

It was a dual-use port and a major base for the Indian fleet on the east coast, and it was not until dawn that the news of Pakistan's invasion came, and the naval officers and men in this port immediately panicked.

Next to the pier, an aircraft carrier that runs straight to the deck and has a jumping runway in front of it, billowing smoke billowing from the chimney, is taking the first step of sailing, lighting a fire! Heating the boiler!

This aircraft carrier is the pride of the Indian Navy, a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier that only entered service in 86, the Virat! This is a meritorious old ship that participated in the Falklands War! The carrier-based aircraft above is also a newly introduced Sea Harrier! (To be continued.) )
