Chapter 573: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
In order to help the Pakistani military achieve this strategic goal, the Chinese side needs to vigorously strengthen the Pakistani army, and in a fast time.
For this reason, the Central Military Commission has decided to first directly transfer active aircraft from the two improved J-10C flight regiments that have reinforced southern Tibet to form three J-10C squadrons for the Pakistani army, and to deliver all the three additional destroyer B special army aviation battalions to the Pakistani army.
After the handover was completed, the Pakistani air force pilots flew the planes directly to the air base near Islamabad to strengthen the air power of the Pakistani army on the southern front. The 99A2 main battle tanks and wheeled combat vehicles, which are enough to equip a whole division, were transported to Pakistan along with a large number of weapons and ammunition through the China-Pakistan highway.
And the Pakistani army, which has tasted the sweetness, is now going to the Chinese team to build the remaining J-7P/M series fighters of the Pakistani army, all of which have been transformed into Destroyer B UAVs, and the Pakistani army has a total of more than 100 J-7P/M with good performance, and this late model of J-7 is very suitable for transforming into Destroyer B UAVs, and the bomb load and fire control radar are much stronger than the J-7B in the early stage, and can provide more powerful firepower when dealing with ground forces.
In this case, the $5 billion military aid provided by the Arab world has played a role in the war, not only saving the precarious economy of Pakistan, but also allowing the Pakistani army to purchase more arms to support the war in a difficult environment.
In this way, a large amount of arms provided by the Chinese side has now begun to be transported to the front line of the Pakistani army through the China-Pakistan International Highway. As for the missiles used by the Air Force and 99A2 tank shells and other materials urgently needed by the Pakistani army on the front line, they were directly transported to Gilgit by air, and then transferred to the front line.
In the face of China's unsparing support, the Pakistani General Staff planned a plan to close the door and fight the dogs, and after a rapid deployment of troops, decisively launched the Battle of Skadu.
This time, the Pakistani army broke forward with two armored brigades, 99A2 and Khalid, two mechanized infantry divisions, and a number of baggage regiments followed closely with the large force to prepare to support ammunition at any time.
When the Pakistani army rushed to the vicinity of Skadu, although the anti-aircraft missile units reinforced by A-San were traveling day and night, not many of them were able to rush to the theater in time, especially the elite S-400 anti-aircraft missile battalions that had not had time to arrive at all, and what could be quickly arrived were several Akash anti-aircraft missile battalions that A-San had originally deployed in the border area.
It's just that the actual combat proves that the self-developed weapons of the three A-san who have not been smeared with divine oil are all rubbish, and the Akash missile air defense system boasted by the A-San military with a very high interception rate is as fragile as paper in front of the Destroyer B drone, and the Pakistani army only lost more than a dozen Destroyer drones and cleanly killed these Akash air defense battalions.
Originally, he was a little excited about hitting the opponent's fighter plane, and after sending people to risk death to check the results, he was shocked to find that the J-7P/M fighter of the Pakistani army that he shot down turned out to be a drone for a long time! More than a dozen drones were exchanged for several anti-aircraft missile battalions, which destroyed Ah San's ground anti-aircraft firepower in one fell swoop, and soon, the Thunder Dragon fighters carried ground attack firepower and roared under the cover of J-10.
The 99A2 Armored Brigade and Khalid Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army, with the cooperation of the Air Thunder Dragon fighter and the Destroyer B UAV, quickly tore apart the Skadu defense line of Asan, and then after the Pakistani army's reinforcements arrived at Skadu to form a simple encirclement formation, the 99A2 Armored Brigade took the lead, the baggage regiment was in the middle, the Khalid Tank Brigade broke the formation, and went straight to Kabul, and the 99A2 Armored Brigade and the Destroyer and the Thunder Dragon fighters formed a three-dimensional and powerful firepower in the open space, annihilating the two guard infantry regiments of Asankabula in one fell swoop. Successfully occupied the important stronghold of Kabula, and surrounded all the invading ground troops on the Asan Northern Front in Skadu!
This extremely bold interspersing of the Pakistani army is exactly the typical combat style of the Chinese army, and this is the battle plan drawn up by the Pakistani army after absorbing the opinions of the Chinese staff officers, and the Pakistani army, which is very familiar with the Pakistani army, never dreamed that the Pakistani army is now so bold that it wants to use the weak superior strength of two infantry divisions and two armored brigades to outflank the two entire divisions of the 10th Infantry Division and the 25th Infantry Division and the 16th Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani army.
Even under the special terrain conditions of Kashmir, as long as the narrow opening of Kabul is occupied, neither side can carry out a large-scale decisive battle there, so that the defenders can occupy a favorable position, but now they have the risk of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, relying on two armored brigades and baggage regiments, can withstand the fierce flanking attacks of the two sides?
However, this is the problem of the Pakistani army, and the three Argentine troops have been frightened by this move of the Pakistani army, and they originally planned to wait and see first, but they really couldn't retreat before retreating, and they also put two regiments of troops in the small place of Kabul to guard the back road. However, when the armored brigade of the Pakistani army broke through the defense line and rushed to Kabul with the baggage regiment without hesitation to complete the tactical task of closing the door and beating dogs, the Argentine military knew that there was an excellent opportunity to get out, but it was wasted by the disagreement of its own high-level leaders.
At this time, the Argentine army suddenly discovered that there was a huge gap between the army that had lost air support and the other side, and the strength of the two defense regiments of Kabula was not weak, but under the joint attack of the Pakistani army and air, it could not hold out for even an hour. They began to find that something was wrong, and the two whole divisions of the Asan's army, which had broken into the Pakistan-controlled area, were now really likely to be annihilated by the opponent's dumplings, and after seeing this huge danger, the Asan's army finally reached an agreement and began to decide to retreat.
On the one hand, they ordered Skadu's independent armored 16th Brigade to tear apart the Pakistani army's defense line and attack the Pakistani army's Kabul defense line from west to east, and on the other hand, they mobilized the fast response division that moved to Kashmir to attack the Pakistani army's Kabul defense line from the east, forming a situation of attacking from both sides, in an attempt to open up a passage for the northern front army to return home.
The Pakistani infantry division besieging Skadu was unable to stop the 16th Armoured Brigade of the A-3 Independent Armoured Brigade, allowing the A-3 Armoured Brigade to break through the defensive line and head towards Kabula, where they arrived at the Kabul East and West Battlefield almost at the same time as the A-3 Quick Reaction Division.
The Khalid Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army faced the 16th Armored Brigade of the A-3 Independent Armored Brigade and the 99A2 Armoured Brigade against the A-3 Fast Counter Division, because the 16th Argent Brigade of the A-3 Independent Armoured Brigade were all T-90S main battle tanks, and the Khalid Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army, which was not equipped with the theater joint combat tactical system, was very difficult after facing it, and the battle was extremely fierce as soon as it began.
Because the three Argentine military know that when the Pakistani army completes its positional defense deployment, there will basically be no chance.
If it weren't for the Pakistani army's ability to call for air support at any time, and with the Thunder Dragon and the Destroyer drones taking turns to strike every ten minutes, it is very likely that the Khalid Armored Brigade would not be able to resist the impact of the 16th Armoured Brigade of the A-3 Independent Armored Brigade.
On the other hand, in the face of the onslaught of the Asan-fast anti-reflex division, there are army aviation helicopter gunships in the air, and the powerful firepower of the A-3 T-90S armored brigade on the ground, and the infantry of the 99A2 armored brigade and the baggage regiment of the Pakistani army, under the long-range command of the Chinese staff officers, use artillery-launched missiles and portable anti-aircraft missiles to deal with the armed helicopters of the Asan, and use the main gun to deal with tanks, In the face of the superior strength of Ah San, the 99A2 armored brigade did not fall behind, and even used less air firepower, trying to make the Khalid armored brigade on the Western Front.
In the air, since the beginning of the battle of closing the door and fighting dogs, at least 2 squadrons of J-10 have maintained combat alert over Kabula with the cooperation of early warning aircraft to ensure that there will be no Asan's air force to disrupt the situation in the airspace, and all the air fire support work has been handed over to the Thunder Dragon and the Destroyer B UAV. The Pakistani army divided the Destroyer B drones into five groups, so that almost every 20 minutes or so, a group of Destroyers appeared over Kabula to provide support to the two armored brigades responsible for closing the gates.
By the time the 2 mechanized infantry divisions of the Pakistani army re-completed the construction of the interception position on Skadu, the independent armored 16th brigade of Asan's eastward attack on Kabula has been exhausted, and the Pakistani Khalid armored brigade is also seriously injured, with more than half of the casualties, which is thanks to the air fire support of the destroyer and the dragon to support the defensive line, relatively speaking, the 99A2 armored brigade can still barely support the eastern defense line in the face of Asan's fast reaction division, although now their casualties are close to one-third, just fierce battles, The sharp depletion of ammunition that was about to bottom out made the eastern defense line also begin to be a little precarious. Although the theater joint combat tactical system developed by Duke has a very powerful lethality, the consumption of ammunition is also very amazing.
Faced with this situation, the Pakistani army began to drop ammunition from Gilgit to the front line, and the Khalid armored brigade, which had completed the task of fighting and interdiction, now began to clear the stragglers of the Afghan Army several kilometers in the surrounding area, and vigilously cooperated with the ammunition collection and transfer work of the ground baggage regiment.
At the same time, a new armored brigade and one infantry division from Gilgit on the Western Front are rushing to Skardu, preparing to encircle and annihilate the two infantry divisions of the Pakistani army that have arrived in advance, and then prepare to enter Indian-administered Kashmir after a short rest.
On the battlefield of the southern front, after completing the task of closing the door on the northern front, the Pakistani army began to dispatch 1 mechanized infantry division from Islamabad to repel the Asan's southern front corps, before that, the Pakistani army under the air cover of 3 modified and upgraded J-10 squadrons, took turns to dispatch 3-5 Xiaolong squadrons to launch a fierce air attack on Asan's 19th Mountain Infantry Division and the 3rd Independent Armored Brigade.
