Chapter 656 - 656 Responding to the Battlefield

The fierce war in Madagascar is about to break out, but the strategically minded Chinese will not just invest their energy on a battlefield, neither Qi Yiming nor the military has forgotten what is the purpose of keeping the US military out of the Indian Ocean, that is, to completely control the South Asian subcontinent in order to truly control the Indian Ocean theater. To accomplish this goal, there is actually only one real enemy, and that is India.

The PLA dispatched the South Asian Third Front Army on the Eastern Front of South Asia to completely drive the Indian army out of India's northeastern state, which of course was only the beginning of the battle, and China was also brewing a larger offensive. China's Second South Asian Front Army on the Western Front, as well as the two armies of the Pakistan Army, have basically completed the integration of the theater command system, and Pakistan has decided to conditionally obey the leadership and command of the Chinese PLA and strike at the Indian army on the entire battlefield on the Western Front.

Being able to make Pakistan willingly obey China's command is naturally not only the role of the traditional friendship between the two countries, but also the actual benefits of Pakistan's advantage, so that they are so readily willing to accept the command. Just as on the Eastern Front, China promised to divide India's West Bengal State into Bangladesh in exchange for Bangladesh's troops, and on the Western Front, China was also "generous" and transferred India's Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttaranchar Pradesh (later renamed Uttarakhand) to Pakistan.

Naturally, the Ladakh region of Jammu Kashmir, the Sang, Rangsha, and Polin Sando districts of Uttarakhand, and the Ranchong, Ure, and Labudi districts will be assigned back to China, and Pakistan can go back to Nepal to resolve the disputed territorial issues between India and Nepal.

Following China's war, there are 150,000 or 60,000 square kilometers of land that can be directly obtained, not to mention the vast areas of Kashmir that have been controlled by Pakistan before.

In order to coordinate with the development of the entire war situation, the Chinese Second South Asian Front Army and the Pakistani 1st Army and the 4th Army on the Western Front of South Asia launched a large-scale attack on the Indian state of Punjab. The Punjabi are the majority ethnic group in Pakistan, but there are some differences between the Punjabis in Pakistan and the Punjabis in India, Pakistanis are Muslims, while the Indian Punjabis are Sikhs and are often called Sikhs.

Although the Indian army's crushing defeat in Kashmir caused it to lose Jammu Kashmir, the Indian army's frontline commander still withdrew most of the living forces from the battlefield ahead of schedule, so the Indian army in Kashmir was not considered a broken bone. But once again, in the face of the offensive of the Chinese and Pakistanis with hundreds of thousands of troops, the Indians had no way to stop it.

The Sino-Pakistani coalition army, which was not short of troops, launched an attack on the Indian army in three directions, Bertankot, Amritsar, and Mugdesir. The direction of Paitankot near Kashmir is also the direction of the Indian army's strong defense, Amrri is in the center, direct access to Ludhiana, the capital of the state, and Mugdesir is in the southwestern part of the state, and the opening of this gateway will have a shock to the entire southwest of India.

Because Punjab is located in the Indus River Plain, the terrain is very flat, so it is very suitable for the large-scale mechanized forces of China and Pakistan to carry out breakthroughs and attacks. The mechanized forces of the Indian army had already suffered relatively large losses in the Kashmir Valley, and in the Punjab War, they were completely unable to pose any threat to the armored forces of the Sino-Pakistani coalition. China and Pakistan mobilized more than 1,000 main battle tanks, more than 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 2,000 artillery pieces, and more than 200 multi-purpose fighters to strike a fierce blow at the Indian army.

The Indian army still had a little will to resist in the early days, especially in the face of the Pakistani army, and it fought a few tough battles, but when China directly sacrificed a big killer weapon such as the Apocalypse tank, the Indian army completely collapsed on the battlefield.

The "freak" of the Apocalypse Tank has not been very popular with the PLA military top brass and even grassroots soldiers. Even though it has near-impenetrable armor and two lethal 125mm tank guns, it's not commendable in terms of maneuverability. The military has repeatedly practiced the tactics of using the Apocalypse tank by armored troops, and found that the Apocalypse tank is completely cumbersome, slowing down the speed of the whole army's advancement, and in some difficult terrain, the cross-country ability is not very good, so the amount of equipment of the Apocalypse tank is always not very large.

The military has always been very satisfied with the balanced performance of the Type 99 main battle tank, and there is no tank on this planet that can be more lethal than the Type 99, so the meaning of the Apocalypse tank is relatively thin. Even when the military was replacing tanks, the Apocalypse tank was not directly considered, preferring to redevelop a fourth-generation tank.

On the battlefield on the Western Front in South Asia, the Chinese Army, in line with the attitude that it is not necessary to waste something, still dispatched some Apocalypse tanks. Although it is difficult for these big guys to weigh hundreds of tons at speeds of more than 40 kilometers per hour, their dominance on the battlefield is still obvious to all. When the Pakistanis and Indians were inseparable, a Chinese PLA Apocalypse tank battalion drove into battle. The tanks of the Indian army spotted these guys in advance, and although they were shocked by their size, they bravely fired shells at them.

However, the armor of the Apocalypse tank is not something that these tank guns can shake at all, the experience of the Indian army is to use their tank guns to hit the Type 99, at least the Type 99 will stop for a period of time and start again, and the Indian artillery will hit the Apocalypse, and the Apocalypse will stop directly and will not stop, and it can move forward under the artillery fire.

And when the two guns of the Apocalypse opened fire on the Indian army, the Indian army felt even more like being in hell and like being in an ice cave. The Apocalypse's unique deflagration shell hits a small mushroom cloud, and the intense heat can directly incinerate some thin armor, and the shock wave from the explosion can even overturn some military vehicles.

What's even more violent is that some Apocalypse drivers directly ignore the destroyed armored vehicles in front of them, and use their thick tracks and huge bodies to directly run over them, and the consequence is naturally that these Indian armored vehicles and the soldiers who have not had time to escape are crushed into cakes of steel and flesh mixed together.

The Pakistani soldiers who were inseparable from the Indian army just now looked at these terrible deposits, couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and said in their mouths: "This is not scientific!" ”
