Chapter 234: Iron and Blood Means
In the face of Pakistan, the Iron Lady is tough, but unfortunately the effect is not significant, in this case, she knows that her prestige has been hit hard, and the internal riots are caused by the loss of her prestige, which is very terrible for the country.
If other people with ulterior motives see that the Sikhs start to make trouble, and the government has nothing to do with them, then the other tribes will follow suit, and the whole of India will soon collapse.
You can't compromise, you must use tough and iron-blooded means to deal with it quickly! Moreover, the next prime minister election is about to begin, and with the current situation of the Iron Lady, the popular support rate will be reduced to an ugly proportion.
"Prime Minister, their headquarters, is located in the Golden Temple." The Chief of Staff of the Army couldn't help but remind.
The Golden Temple, the most sacred building of the Sikhs, this temple, when it was built, used a total of 750 kilograms of gold, and the outside is gilded, which looks brilliant.
The entire Golden Temple, located in the center of Amritsar, is located on top of a large pool, elegant in style and beautiful in shape.
This golden temple is sacred, and all visitors must take off their shoes and wade barefoot through the pool at the entrance as a sign of respect for the Sikh Guru. And men, women, and children, should not be bareheaded, either wearing a hat or having their head wrapped in a turban. Failure to follow these rules is considered disrespectful to the Sikhs.
And now, the prime minister actually wants to send troops to attack the Golden Temple, and the consequences of this are probably difficult to estimate.
"Then let our troops be careful not to destroy those buildings." The Iron Lady said.
It's simply not possible to attack the lightly armed Sikh traitors and tell the army to be careful not to destroy the buildings! The Chief of Staff of the Army has always denied it in his heart, but. But nothing can be revealed in his eyes.
"Mobilize the army immediately, be quick!" The Iron Lady continued.
With the concern of the Iron Lady, the closest unit was transferred, and they were the 3rd Infantry Division of the 14th Army directly under the Northern Command.
Originally, they had planned to go to Kashmir to wash away their shame with blood. When passing through Chandigarh, he made a temporary turn and went straight to Amritsar.
Along the road, in a few hours, the 3rd Infantry Division surrounded the whole of Amritsar.
The division commander Mohandas stood on his command car, looking at the city in the distance, and couldn't help scratching his head, this time the order was given too suddenly. He was not prepared at all, and the order from above was that before dark, the problem here must be solved, otherwise, military law will be engaged.
It is simply impossible not to destroy the one qiē in the Golden Temple, and to let the battle be resolved quickly!
in his ranks. There are also Sikhs who let them attack their homeland on their own. That was absolutely impossible, so Mohandas put these men at the rear, and the first to attack were the Indians who obeyed the most orders.
Soldiers with guns in their hands slowly entered the city. Ahead, two tanks are driving the road.
According to their assumptions, having tanks come in would give the Sikh rioters the biggest shock and make them raise their hands and surrender. In this way, the battle is over.
The tank rumbled and roared, and this steel monster seemed to ordinary people to be very terrifying.
Christian carried a rocket, gritted his teeth, and listened to the rumbling sound getting closer. When the lump came into his sight, he took aim quickly, then pulled the trigger.
"Bang." The RPG rockets flew out, dragging tongues of fire towards the side of the tank.
The distance is only twenty meters, and if this misses, it can only indicate that you are too unlucky.
"Boom!" This rocket, which managed to penetrate the side of the turret, then exploded inside.
The turret of the tank, a huge flame burst out, and the whole tank stopped.
Then, the Sikhs, who were lying in ambush on the roofs on both sides, began to fire at the Indian troops who were following the tanks, and they were caught off guard.
A platoon that came up from the attack left behind a dozen corpses, and the wolf fled backwards.
Victory! They looked at the back of the retreating Indian army, at the burning tank, and were very excited.
"The Indian army is a paper tiger! They don't have any fighting power, we can completely repel the Indian army and achieve the independence of our country! Just like our prophets! Binderland Waller said.
The short-lived victory inspired many Sikhs.
When it became known that the Indian army had begun to besiege Amritsar and besiege its own Golden Temple, the fanatics throughout Punjab began to slowly move in the direction of Amritsar.
These rebels even have RPGs! It's just a regular army all the way! When Mohandas got the news that his initial attack had been frustrated, he frowned even more, if it was a street fight, he didn't know how many people his troops would die.
"Use the tank to advance and smooth out a single qiē on the way forward." Mohandas said.
If you want to attack along the way, you have to take advantage of the tank! Anyway, what the prime minister said was that the Golden Temple would not be destroyed, and he didn't say anything else, and there was not much attention to demolishing a few private houses.
The engine of the T-55 tank, puffs of smoke came out, and a new attack began.
A militant, hiding behind a wall, carrying an RPG, watched the tank rumble up, he just wanted to stand up and shoot, the tank's side-by-side machine guns, fired a dense number of bullets, the bullets hit him so that he couldn't raise his head, the rumbling sound, it was closer.
The earthen wall collapsed, and he was buried under the earthen wall, and the crawlers that kept moving forward had pressed up.
The screams beneath the earthen wall soon stopped, and the tanks not only crashed into the wall, but also the houses behind it.
The effect was remarkable, and when the Indian army advanced with such a tough stance, the armed men panicked, and they did not resist anymore, and ran towards the back, towards their sacred temple.
Only if you hide in there will you be safe!
After all, these rebels who hastily gathered together had no professional training, and they fought with the police and drove out civilians without fear, but when they really ran into the army, it was completely different, and the army was a special killing machine, a violent institution.
Looking at the fighters who had fled in a hurry, Bindranwale's face was gloomy.
"Their tanks were so powerful that they smashed through the earthen wall and crushed our men to death."
"Yes, it's terrible! I saw Karam crushed to death. ”
"They actually used tanks against us!"
"Say no more!" Bindran Valle finally became angry and looked at these uncompetitive subordinates: "If we want to build our country, we will shed blood and sacrifice!" Our country must be forged with our blood! Think of how our prophet led us into battle against the British! With the blessing of the Golden Temple, we will be invincible! ”
When it came to the Golden Temple, all the people quieted down.
"Now, we are confronting them with the Golden Temple as the center." "As long as we keep going, more people will respond to us," Bhandranwaler said. ”
It can only be like this, the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is outrageously strong, and their tanks are absolute fighters!
"We can wait at the gates, with RPGs on our shoulders, with machine guns on our backs, and only when their army rushes over, we will destroy them!" Christian said.
Just now, seeing the tank rushing over, he fired a second RPG, but it didn't shoot, the tank was already very close, and he could only retreat.
All around the Golden Temple, there are holy pools, there is only one road in front, the gate leading to the Golden Temple, as long as the gate is blocked, the road in front is blocked, the Indian army cannot attack.
"Yes, if they dare to shoot a bullet at the Golden Temple, it will be disrespectful to our entire Sikh people!" Binderland Valle is very satisfied with this construction.
"Listen inside, you have been surrounded, the Prime Minister has an order, the Sikhs must lay down their arms and surrender! As long as you obey the government of New Delhi, you will be given some autonomy. "It's starting to shout outside.
In some states in southern India, Nehru gave them a certain degree of autonomy in order to make them obedient, and now, the Iron Lady has done the same thing, but the Iron Lady is more skillful, first let them lay down their weapons, coax them out of the Golden Temple, and then use the iron and bloody wrists to kill all these rebels!
It's just a decoy.
"Unless we agree, let's establish the state of Khalistan!" Bindran Valle shouted loudly outside: "This is our bottom line!" ”
"Yes, let's build our own country!" More people shouted.
"You have been bewitched by foreign forces, the prime minister understands you very well, as long as you give up resistance, the previous crimes can be eliminated together." Outside, he continued to shout: "I hope you can see clearly that the government of New Delhi is where you belong." ”
"Bullshit, what Lao Tzu wants to build is his own country!" "We have abundant food, and if we build our own country, we will soon be rich!" The government is constantly exploiting us and making it impossible for us to get rich! ”
Punjab, is a famous granary, if it is completely at their own disposal, the income does not know how many times it should be increased.
Mohandas outside, knowing that the other party will definitely not compromise, these are fanatics, and they can only rely on fighting.
Now, it's night, and the deadline given by the Prime Minister has passed.
"Attack." Mohandas said.
Two infantry platoons, which had been prepared for a long time, ran along the road towards the opposite gate.
"Da-da-da, da-da-da." In the darkness of the night, seeing the opposing attack, the defenders above the gate, immediately opened fire.
Blood stained the road red, and the bravest warriors, in the course of the charge, fell to the death, because they received orders not to destroy the building of the Golden Temple! You can't put a shot!
It's like looking for death! (To be continued......)
