Chapter 321: Grab the Fuel

In the past, there was a war between India and Pakistan over this barren land, and in the end, the International Court of Justice ruled that 10 percent should go to Pakistan and 90 percent to India.

Since then, apart from occasional clashes during the dry season, the rest of the time has been peaceful, and now it's the rainy season, and Pakistan will definitely not notice it.

The half-leg-deep swamp and the half-loaded wheels of the tank are all stuck in the mire, and this tracked vehicle, which is already adapted to a variety of terrains, seems to have encountered a natural enemy here.

This is the only way through the swamp, which has been detected in times of drought, and although the surface is a mud bore like the rest of the world, the texture underneath is hard and does not sink completely.

The T-72 drove over it with its barrel held high, and in order to meet the needs of long marches, in addition to the two auxiliary fuel tanks that it originally had in the tail, in the rear of the turret, it also carried two fuel tanks on its back.

With this kind of terrain, the convoy of supplies transported, even if it was an all-wheel drive off-road vehicle, could not pass at all, and it had to be in the form of tracks, so they relied entirely on themselves and kept moving through the swamp, and after reaching the opposite side, they captured Rahim Bazar on the opposite side of the swamp, and grabbed fuel there, which would be enough for them to move to Karachi, and when Karachi was captured, victory was already doomed.

In addition to the fuel tanks in the back, on the sides of the tank, straw mats were carried on their backs.

A T-72 tank, driving slightly off the course, the tracks on one side, began to idle, the engine made a dull sound, and the tank was no longer moving.

The captain cursed, got down from it, and unloaded a bundle of straw mats. Stepping on the mud that was less than half of his legs, he put the straw mat under the tracks.

"Reverse!" The captain shouted.

The driver hung up the reverse gear, and with the roar of the tail engine, a puff of black smoke came out, and the tracks bit the grass mat, finally. The whole body moved and got out of the way backwards.

The commander climbed up again, sat on the turret, washed his legs and feet with clean water, looked around, and cursed, who came up with this idea? Can you march on this kind of terrain?

They are not bad, there are tanks. Stuck too deep in the mire, the whole hull, all sunk in, level with the turret, the tanker took the tow rope, tied to the tank behind, trying to pull this tank out, but. The sturdy wire ropes had been broken, and the tank was still moving.

Thereupon. The tank could only be abandoned, and the tankmen left the tank and sat on the BMP infantry fighting vehicle in the back, losing this tank before the battle began.

With a fearless spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice. They marched for more than ten hours, and when it was already dark, they finally passed through the swamp, and on the other side, it was already the land of Pakistan!

"Attack!" The 31 Panzer Division at the forefront. The division commander, Shiv Sharma, looked at the town in the darkness of the night and gave the order to attack.

The armored divisions that came out of the swamp seemed to have turned into mud-washed, and the tracks pressed against the ground, and the ground soon became wet.

The infrared headlights shine ahead, and in the night vision device, you can see those buildings, which are getting closer and closer, and have reached the edge of the town!

It was still quiet here, only in the outermost outpost, a few Pakistani soldiers, looking vigilantly into the distance, this rumbling sound had already attracted their attention, but they only thought it was the movement of their own troops, after all, the battle with India had not yet begun.

"A grenade." A tank car rushed to the front, and the commander calmly gave the battle order.

"Boom!" With the sound of a landslide and the ground cracking, there was a burst of fire in the muzzle, and a 125mm grenade was fired from the muzzle.

"Enemy attack, alarm!" The sentry in the post suddenly shouted, and before he turned on the radio and notified the troops in the rear, the post was accurately hit by a grenade, and the post was immediately in a sea of fire.

Not a single one survived.

At the same time, the sound of artillery woke up the barracks on the side of the town, where an infantry company was stationed, and when the cannon sound was heard, all the soldiers immediately got up from their beds, took their weapons, and rushed out.

In the distance, it was dark, and the rumbling of tanks could already be heard, as well as the shaking of the ground.

What to do? The company commander listened to the voices from all sides, and it was a large-scale armored force!

"Immediately withdraw to the city, let's fight in the streets!" This company of your own side is infantry, and the infantry is fighting against the armored force in the field, that is, looking for death, and only by entering the city can you compete with the other party.

At such a time, the company commander gave a correct order, they abandoned the empty battalion, took rocket launchers and other weapons, and quickly retreated along the streets, towards the small town in the rear.

"Boom!" The cannonballs followed, hit the camp, and soon everywhere turned into fire.

"Damn it!" The division commander in the back scolded: "Stop the exchange of fire, take them prisoner!" We want fuel! ”

In the camp of the troops, there must have been fuel stored for their use, and now, after passing through the marshland, most of the fuel for the tanks is used, and they have come here to find supplies.

Unfortunately, it was already late.

"Boom!" After a shell fell, I saw that the infantry position suddenly burst into flames, and the fuel stored underground burned.

"Boom!" The burning of fuel oil caused the explosion of the weapons depot on the ground, and in the violent explosion, the camp had been completely blown up.

Division Commander Schiff can't wait to shoot the commander of the tank company at the front, is this very enjoyable?

"Enter the city immediately and control their gas station." Schiff continued to command.

Now that the fuel stored in the barracks has been blown up, only the civilian gas stations in the city remain, all of which are controlled and barely enough for them.

The tanks rumbled into the city, the tracks crushed the road, crushing the road to pieces, they completely ignored this, anyway, for the time being, it is still the territory of the Pakistanis, and in the future, maybe it will be Indian!

With control here, Pakistan has become a landlocked country, which is more conducive to its own blows.

Just as a tank was just showing its head, an anti-tank rocket flew from the side.

The main armor is not easy to penetrate, so the side armor and the rear armor are the targets of the anti-tank man.

This rocket, easily penetrating the armor on the sides, drilled inside.

"Boom!" With an explosion, the interior of the T-72 exploded, and the blast overturned the turret, and the people inside were instantly shattered in the huge explosion.

There are enemies on the flanks!

Just as the second tank twisted its turret to find the enemy, the Pakistani soldiers had disappeared through the streets of Guò.

"Die!" Across the street, on top of a building, a Pakistani soldier pulled the trigger of an RPG again.

"Boom!" The second tank was destroyed from the top.

The Indian army, when advancing to the small city of Rahimbazar, was in trouble, and the constant attacks everywhere made them tired to deal with, no matter what the era, street fighting was the most troublesome tactic, no matter how many planes, artillery and tanks the attackers used, they could not exert their power in street fighting.

Now, this is the case, when the Indian 31st Armored Division, at the cost of a dozen combat vehicles, finally advanced to a gas station in the middle of the city.

Several infantry fighting vehicles were protected, and the tanks began to be refueled.

The numbers on the tanker kept beating, and the personnel of the gas station looked at these Indians who were eyeing them and did not dare to say anything.

With only four tanks added, the diesel fuel was already running out.

The tank is a monster that drinks oil, a tank has a tank capacity of thousands of liters, and this gas station does not have much fuel storage.

Seeing that the diesel fuel was gone, the commander of the tank company was dissatisfied: "Keep refueling!" ”

There is no diesel, then only gasoline remains, and the tanks in the back, continue to start adding gasoline, yes, just gasoline!

Tank engines, all multi-fuel hybrid engines. The engine of the T-72 tank can run on diesel, kerosene and gasoline and a mixture of these fuels. When there is a real shortage of fuel, even heavy oil for ships can be burned, and when different fuels are used, the driver needs to turn the runner and adjust the fuel supply lever to control it. Since there is still half of the diesel in it, the runner is now switched to the heavy fuel oil position when it is used as a fuel mixture.

A dozen more tanks were added, the gasoline was gone, the tanks with fuel began to leave the city, ready to move on, and the tanks without fuel continued to wander around the city.

The 31st Panzer Division was looking for fuel in Rahimbazar and fought with Pakistani soldiers from time to time, while the 33rd Panzer Division, which followed behind, bypassed the city directly and continued to move forward.

To get fuel, you don't have to get it in the city, there are gas stations along the highways, and there are no Pakistani troops stationed there.

Although the 33rd Panzer Division was backward, they moved quickly, advancing all the way to the west, looting the gas stations along the road, and by daybreak they had already advanced to Burdin, along the road here, directly to Karachi.

Capturing Karachi is their first stage of strategic goals! And now, that goal seems to be easily attainable.

Pakistan's armored forces, almost all of them in the eastern desert region, will take at least a day or two for them to counterattack here, and with this time, it will be enough for them to take Karachi.

Air force? Pakistan's air force, mainly fighting with the Soviet air force, they can rarely take care of this, even if they come, they are not afraid, the Indian air force is enough to protect the airspace of armored forces!

The fighting in the south was quickly converged on Islamabad. (To be continued......)
