After forcing back the US Fifth Fleet, Xue Chenguang safely delivered the heavy equipment of the 13th Group Army to Pakistan, and after leaving four 039G Xinsong-class conventional submarines to form a joint naval command with the Pakistan Navy, Xue Chenguang led the task force back to China.

With this extremely important batch of heavy equipment and ammunition, the General Staff began to carry out a secret military operation, in which the PLA and Pakistani troops would jointly launch an attack on Punjab and Rajasthan in eastern India while the US troops were not yet in place, occupy the two important states of India, and at the same time consume the vital strength of the Indian army and reduce the pressure on the PLA in southern Tibet.

For Pakistan, which does not have much strategic depth, it is difficult to withstand simultaneous attacks by US and Indian forces from both the east and the west, and its capital almost fell in the last round of US-India joint attacks. Therefore, the first thing the China-Pakistan Joint Operations Command should do after relieving itself is to resolve this deadly threat facing Pakistan.

The purpose of this transfer of the main forces of the 13th Army and the 21st Army into Pakistan was to cripple the relatively weak main forces of the Indian army before the US troops entered India.

In order to achieve this goal, after the task force arrived in Pakistan with heavy equipment, the 39th and 149th Divisions of the 13th Army, two mountain divisions and five brigades, together with the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the 21st Army, marched into the Bahawalpur area of Pakistan to complete the regrouping and reorganization, and formed a southern attack group with three ordinary infantry divisions in southern Pakistan, with Major General Tang Jinwu, commander of the 13th Army, as the commander-in-chief.

At the same time, the 52nd and 53rd Mountain Divisions, which had entered Pakistan in advance, also quietly moved to the Lahore area of Punjab Province in Pakistan, and formed the Eastern Attack Group with the elite 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division of the 2nd Pakistani Army, as well as the 35th Infantry Division of the 1st Army and the 8th Infantry Division of the 30th Army of the Pakistani Army. Ashik. Admiral Pervitz assumed the post of commander-in-chief.

When the two major attack groups of the China-Pakistan coalition forces were in place, it coincided with Christmas 2021, so the joint attack between China and Pakistan was named the Christmas Offensive.

With the support of the Air Force, the Southern Attack Group took the lead in the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the 21st Army, and cooperated with the 2 Special Battalions of the 13th Army's Aviation Brigade to destroy unmanned attack aircraft. Only 4 ordinary infantry divisions were deployed in this area.

In the face of the ferocious offensive of the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, the 18th Infantry Division and the 24th Infantry Division deployed by the Indian Army in the Bikaner area were mostly annihilated before they could hold out for 5 hours. When the J-10C fighter destroyed the radar facilities of the Indian army in the Bikaner area, the destroyer unmanned attack aircraft entered a no-man's land, attacking the heavy weapons positions and living armored forces of the Indian army that had been reconnoitred in advance.

Therefore, when the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the People's Liberation Army rushed over, the heavy weapons and armored forces of the Indian army had almost been lost, and the remaining infantry positions were simply a piece of cake for the two main armored units of the 21st Army of the People's Liberation Army.

At the same time, less than an hour after the battle on the southern side began, the China-Pakistan eastern attack group also launched a full-scale attack on India's Punjab, and the 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army attacked simultaneously with the elite 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division of the 2nd Army of the Pakistani Army, and on a front of nearly 50 kilometers, the Sino-Pakistani coalition broke through the first line of defense in Punjab composed of the 26th Infantry Division and the 29th Infantry Division of the Indian Army in less than two hours, and defeated the two Indian border garrison infantry divisions.

The Pakistani army concentrated 1 J-10P squadron and 1 Thunder Dragon squadron to provide air cover for the eastern attack group and the Indian army's ground radar attack combat mission, the Indian army's F-16C/D fighters of a squadron took off in a hurry, but most of them were destroyed in less than half an hour, and the remaining fighters had to flee in a hurry, after clearing the air threat, the Pakistani army's J-10P fighters began to look for the Indian army's ground radar to attack, opening the way for the Pakistani army's two destroyer unmanned attack aircraft squadrons.

Soon, the Pakistani Air Force completed this combat mission, the Pakistani Army 2 Destroyer unmanned attack aircraft cooperated with the 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division of the Pakistani Army to launch a strong attack on the Indian Army's 15th Infantry Division and the 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Motorized Infantry Brigade stationed in the Punjab town of Amritsar, and at the same time, the 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army attacked the 9th Infantry Division of the Indian Army in Pedara. The Indian army's main troop deployment and heavy weapons positions have long been clearly reconnoitred.

Although the Chinese and Pakistani army and air force are unable to use the theater joint combat tactical system due to the large difference in equipment, only the destroyer unmanned attack aircraft, which has the ability to conduct joint operations, has been extremely efficient in removing most of the threat of heavy weapons of the Indian army for the ground forces. This allows ground forces to quickly tear through the heavy defenses of the Indian army in Punjab.

After 2 hours of fierce fighting, the 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army took Bodara, and the 9th Infantry Division of the Indian Army suffered most of the casualties and capture, and only about one regiment fled.

After four hours of fierce fighting, the 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division of the Pakistani Army completely annihilated the 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Indian Army, defeated the 15th Infantry Division of the Indian Army, and occupied the important town of Amritsar.

Thus, in less than six hours, the main forces of the two major attack groups of China and Pakistan entered the Indian states of Punjab and Rajasthan, established new forward bases in Amritsar and Bikaner respectively, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Pakistani troops entered Indian territory.

For the top level of the Indian army, this bad news is more difficult to accept and frighten than the destruction of the Indian army's eastern fleet, because it means that China and Pakistan have declared war on the Indian army in an all-round way, although before this, large-scale battles have broken out between China and India, India and Pakistan, but the Chinese and Pakistani armies have not yet launched a full-scale attack on Indian territory, which makes the Indian army top brass who are tired of fighting still have a bit of luck, but at the beginning of the Sino-Pakistani Christmas offensive, the illusion of the Indian army top brass was completely shattered.

Within six hours, the Indian army had lost six infantry divisions and two brigades, although these were not the most elite units of the Indian army, but they could be deployed in the border area as a defensive force, and they were already relatively good troops in the infantry division. However, this is such a force, in the face of the attacks of the People's Liberation Army and the Pakistani army, basically has no power to fight back, and is completely in a state of passive beating.

Although the Indian army has made a fairly high estimate of the PLA troops, judging from the actual combat results, the previous estimate was still too conservative, and now it can be basically determined that except for a few mechanized infantry divisions equipped with full American-style equipment, the other units of the Indian army do not have the ability to confront the PLA head-on.

At this time, the top brass of the Indian army began to really regret provoking these two killing gods who could not be provoked.

It's just that it's too late to wake up now, and it's only more than 400 kilometers from Bikaner and Amritsar to New Delhi, and this time the skin has been torn apart, and no one in the Indian army's top brass will believe that the Chinese and Pakistani troops will show mercy and not capture New Delhi, a city of great political significance, because this war was originally caused by the Indian army and the US army's invasion of Pakistan without a declaration of war.

Therefore, on the one hand, they desperately asked for help from the US military, and on the other hand, they mobilized elite troops to rush to the capital area, and even the elite American-style mechanized infantry division, which was originally sent to the east to prepare to encircle and suppress the PLA in southern Tibet, has now canceled its original combat mission and has to urgently return to the capital New Delhi despite the bitter cold.

Judging from the latest satellite maps provided by the US military, the large number of Chinese and Pakistani troops assembled in Amritsar and Bikaner indicates that they will not just occupy these two places and give up.

Not surprisingly, after a short break of a few hours, the two major attack groups of China and Pakistan began a new military operation.

First of all, after the main forces of the China-Pakistan southern attack group entered Bikaner and established a solid forward base, one infantry division of the Pakistani army was left to defend the rear road in the Bikaner area, and then the main force divided its forces to attack, and two infantry divisions of the Pakistani army went south to attack the Parotti and Nagaur areas of Rajasthan respectively, in an attempt to expand the defense area of the Bikaner forward base of the Sino-Pakistani coalition army and ensure the safety of the rear road.

The rest of the 13th Army and the 21st Army, the main forces of the PLA, continued to attack eastward. Among them, the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade, which had just finished recuperating and replenishing ammunition and fuel, continued to act as the vanguard, launched a new offensive to the east, and along the way, they were like a bamboo, and in two days they successively captured the important stronghold of Rajasthan Sigar and the capital Jaipur, so that the front of the PLA Southern Attack Group could point to New Delhi from Jaipur to New Delhi, the capital of India, only more than 200 kilometers, with a good line of communication connecting the two places, if there is no obstacle, The PLA can kill New Delhi in 4 hours!

The Eastern Strike Group concentrated its forces on continuing its march to the southeast and began to attack Jalandhar and Ludhiana, on this line, the Indian army was heavily defended, and the 40th Artillery Division, a heavy artillery unit, and the 1st Armored Division were deployed in Jalandal, plus the 14th Infantry Division, the 612th Missile Air Defense Brigade, the 14th Armored Brigade, and a newly formed Apache Army Aviation Regiment, which can be said to be quite strong.

But this time it was replaced by the 52nd Mountain Division and the 53rd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army as the main attack, and after software adjustment, the Pakistani Army's Destroyer unmanned attack aircraft and the two mountain divisions of the People's Liberation Army were integrated, and after taking the lead in sending special operations forces to destroy the 612th Missile Air Defense Brigade of the Indian Army, the 40th Artillery Division and the 1st Armored Division of the Indian Army became the target of the Destroyer unmanned attack aircraft, and after two days and nights of fierce fighting, the PLA captured the two important strongholds of Jalandar and Ludhiana, and completely defeated the main force of the defending Indian Army's 2nd Army!

After the news broke, New Delhi fell into a great panic!
