In the first half of 1956, India, which had been preparing for a long time, finally got its hands on the land of its dreams.

The Indian army crossed the line of actual control of both sides, advanced near the McMahon line, and began to build a series of military positions.

In accordance with Lin Youde's instructions, the Xinming army first temporarily tolerated and let the Indian army penetrate deep into our territory, so that it could easily eat the main force of the Indian army during the counterattack, and achieve Lin Youde's goal of "not invading India too much and hurting India again".

However, the Indians did not lose the last of their senses, and carefully controlled their own pace of advancement, because once the advance step was large, it might be considered a full-scale invasion, so that the new Ming would mobilize the gods to fight them. If you fight for Shenji, India is in an overwhelming disadvantage.

But if India's actions are relatively small, then the matter can be accused of "border friction", and Xinming probably will not directly dispatch Shenji to deal with India. After all, the Shinmyeong-kyung also needed to guard against the United States, which occupied Yingzhou, and the old Ming Empire, now commonly known as the Great Han Myeongguo, which was cowering on the Korean Peninsula.

In short, India thought that it had done a good job in this matter, and the concession of the New Ming Army also made the Indians feel good about themselves, thinking that they had completely eaten the bargain.

In fact, however, the Xinming Army was working hard to mobilize its troops, and it also sent a nomadic camouflage reconnaissance team inclined to the Xinming government to carefully probe the deployment of the Indian army.

These actions were truthfully reported to Lin Youde by the diplomatic attaché sent by Lin Youde to see the excitement, which made Lin Youde laugh miserably, and even called Ambassador Chen and said, "Don't be so nervous, India is really face-to-face."

However, Ambassador Chen does not seem to have conveyed Lin Youde's advice to China at all, so Xin Ming is still preparing for a counterattack with the standard of facing the elite troops of the US army.

Lin Youde didn't say anything, and it was not bad to sit and watch the jokes of the Indians. Moreover, in case the Indians of this time and space can really fight, it seems that there is no harm in making more preparations.

**

Zhang Lei, together with his fighters, was waiting for the start of the battle.

Suddenly, the voice of the commander of the group army group came over the silent radio: "Comrades, we have recently exercised the greatest restraint in the aggression of the Indians, but the Indians don't eat toasts, so there is no way, we can only invite them back, in a slightly more coarse way." ”

The reason for breaking the radio silence was that at this time, even if the wind leaked, it was too late, the shelling was probably about to begin, and the Indians had no time to react.

"The Indian army in front of us has six brigades and tens of thousands of people, which is quite a lot, a lot, but it is nothing compared to the Americans. We have faith and determination to eat them. Don't be afraid of sacrifice, sacrifice is inevitable, we expect about 30,000 casualties, but this is to protect the territory of the motherland, to maintain the dignity of the motherland, this casualties are worth it! I hope that all the soldiers will move forward bravely and fight for the country. And I, too, will follow you with my front finger! ”

After Zhang Lei finished the pre-war mobilization, he looked back at the soldiers, the Xinming army could not popularize radio equipment to every squad like the German army, so the soldiers of the Xinming army could only use the radio carried by the infantry to listen to the pre-war mobilization, and a large group of Xinming soldiers gathered behind each armored car.

"Alright, get in the car! We set off when the shelling began. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sharp whistling of cannonballs piercing the air in the sky.

"Here, get in the car!"

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Lei to urge, Xinming's soldiers had already climbed onto their own infantry at a very high speed, and a whole mechanized company was ready to attack at this moment. This company is the sharp knife of the entire army group, and there are only a few mechanized companies in a huge army group with such complete configurations. This is mainly because the traffic in Tibet is really bad, the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway have just been opened to traffic not long ago, the traffic capacity of these two highways themselves is not too high, the main road is not wide and the mileage is too long, there are nine bends and eighteen bends along the way, and the car cannot drive more than one piece at all.

Therefore, the group army group responsible for this counterattack could not afford to supply many mechanized troops, and the only mechanized companies were also transferred from Sichuan. However, such difficulties did not frighten the soldiers of Xinming, and many of Xinming's high-ranking officers had participated in wars with the US military and had long been accustomed to all kinds of harsh conditions.

Although Zhang Lei was admitted to the military academy after the end of World War II, he always listened to the old officers share their experiences and was prepared for this situation.

In fact, Zhang Lei is very excited now, this is his first battle, he doesn't know what kind of enemy he will encounter, what kind of resistance he will encounter. Before the war, he knew about the past achievements of the Indian army, and knew that the Indian army had fought against the German army in North Africa, Zhang Lei certainly would not believe the "war records" boasted by the Indians themselves, but he checked the war history himself and found that the Indians had indeed only been annihilated by the German army in North Africa with one brigade, and then most of the Indian army survived the German attack (in fact, this is because the German army has never regarded the Indian army as an enemy that needs to be pursued and annihilated).

Coupled with the cautiousness of the command in deploying the battle plan, Zhang Lei always felt that the Indian army in front of him was still quite capable of fighting.

At this time, the voice of the commander of the No. 2 car came from the radio, interrupting Zhang Lei's contemplation: "Company commander, the sound of artillery has become sparse, why don't we set off?" ”

"Let's go, of course." Zhang Lei nodded and gave an order, "Everyone knows our mission, follow me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lei's car started.

Zhang Lei's first task was to penetrate the defense line of the Indian army in front of him. The Indian army built an arc-shaped defensive zone in front of him, and there may be a battalion of troops defending it, and Zhang Lei's task was to pass through their flanks with lightning speed, catch them by surprise, and then throw these people to the troops who followed behind, and continue to move forward.

After Zhang Lei led the team to set off, he soon saw the position that was scheduled to be attacked.

"Prepare to take on the enemy! Leave it alone who gets hit, just rush forward and pour fire on the enemy's positions by the way! Zhang Lei's tone became sharper when he gave the order, which showed that he was also nervous to death at this time.

He always had the illusion that the next moment a cannonball was going to hit him.

Zhang Lei's car moved forward quickly, taking the lead, it was indeed a good target, and if he himself was on the opposite side, he would definitely give the order to hit the enemy in the front first.

But after rushing for a long time, Zhang Lei did not see the Indians firing artillery fire.

"What's going on?" The voice of a subordinate came from the headphones, "Why didn't anyone shoot at us?" ”

Zhang Lei himself wondered, he used a telescope to observe the position of the Indians, and was sure that there were indeed people on the position, either they were abandoned, but no one fired at their company at all.

At this time, Zhang Lei finally saw the Indians pushing the cannon into the gun position - it turned out that their cannon was still in the bunker against shelling just now!

"Steady, the enemy is going to shell!" Zhang Lei felt that he was dead when he said this, and now he had rushed to such a distance, and the enemy's gunners could hit him with their eyes closed.

He saw the fire of the cannon.

The shells made a sharp whistling.

Then he hit the open space about fifty meters away on Zhang Lei's left.

"I'll go."

Zhang Lei muttered quietly.

"What did they fight, company commander?" Someone in the car behind asked.

At this time, the other gun emplacements also opened fire, and the shells fell one after another in the formation of the mechanized company that was in the midst of the impact, but nothing hit.

"What kind of accuracy is this," Zhang Lei couldn't stand it anymore, "haven't they ever shot at a moving target?" ”

As if in response to his words, the second round of shelling by the Indians came again, and this time it seemed that the Indians had not changed the ruler, so all the shells fell behind Zhang Leilian, who had already approached a lot.

"Damn it, scare Lao Tzu," Zhang Lei learned the tone of the old officer he particularly admired, "Listen to my command, the first platoon will continue to attract the enemy's attention with me and pull their guns over, and the second and third platoons will change direction, storm the enemy's position, and take the position down for me." ”

"Is that okay? If the second and third platoons are entangled in the position, we may not be able to complete the interspersed mission, company commander. ”

"No problem." Zhang Lei replied decisively. In fact, he still lacks consideration here, if it is an experienced old officer, he will definitely not give such an order at this time, but Zhang Lei has just graduated from the military academy for a few years, and the ranks of the company commanders are all brand new.

But this time, Zhang Lei bet right, the enemy is really not good.

The second and third platoons immediately turned and rushed towards the enemy positions, firing with machine guns as they went. Zhang Lei saw that the machine gun hit a gun position, and a series of smoke and dust were sent out on the sandbags. If this is the artillery position that the soldiers of the Xinming Army are responsible for, at this time, there are no casualties, and they will definitely continue to open fire to kill you, but the Indians all climbed down and hid at once, and the artillery position was dumb like this!

That's it!

At this time, Zhang Lei saw that the vehicles in the third row began to shoot smoke bombs, so he grabbed the microphone and shouted: "What smoke bombs!" Keep a clear view and fire! Just fire! ”

After saying that, he patted the armor of his tank: "Let's also turn around and wipe out this battalion!" And then interspersed, it won't take a lot of time! ”

So his first platoon also turned, and just such a mechanized company rushed towards the fixed position guarded by a battalion of the Indian army.

After a while, Zhang Lei's car rushed to the enemy's first trench.

"Shoot or kill!" Zhang Lei used the car's loudspeaker to shout one of the few Hindi words he learned before the war.

Then his eyes widened as he watched as all the Indians in the trenches raised their hands, and some of them raised their weapons above their heads with bazookas.

"Obedient," Zhang Lei heard the driver say, "If there is a special one with seeds, we will donate it here, company commander." ”

Zhang Lei himself was also in a cold sweat: "Damn, it's really hanging." ”
