Chapter 340 Scud
Originally, Amritsar had an infantry division. If they could resist even one night, they could block the Pakistani army when reinforcements came up. The infantry division with more than 10,000 people would surrender directly. Even if they had 10,000 animals, they would have to be slaughtered for half a day. They didn't even resist for a night!
This shows that in the Indian army, a pessimism has begun to spread to the army, and this negative thought will be very terrible once it continues to spread.
"Sendalji, tell me." Rajiv was very angry when he saw that everyone was not speaking and continued to ask questions to Sendalji. After all, he was the Chief of Staff of the Army and was responsible for commanding all Indian troops.
"Prime Minister, we have an infantry division in Chandigarh that can be sent temporarily, but we do not know the target of the Pakistani people. The consequences of the infantry division against the armored forces are difficult to predict. They are more suitable for street fighting in cities. If we send this infantry division and the Pakistani people are Chandigarh, it is exactly the same as giving our city to the Pakistani people." Sendalji continued.
Originally, there were quite a few troops in the north, but the main armored forces were transferred to the south. As a result, the Pakistanis are now attacking from the north, which is at their own weakness.
Moreover, the inaccurate judgment of the Pakistan Army will cause its own passiveness and even lead to the fall of the city. No one can bear this responsibility.
Whether it is the loss of the air force or the navy, India's territory is at least intact. The most intolerable and the biggest mistake is the loss of its own territory. Among all the failures, the loss of the Kashmir Valley is the most painful page in Indian history.
"Is this only infantry division?" Rajiv also knew that it was very stupid to use infantry to block tanks, but now there seems to be no other better way.
"We still have armored power," said General Ashok-k-Meta: "The 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Mechanized Brigade can all hurry to support it."
"How can that be! These two forces are used to protect our New Delhi!" said Sendalji.
No one thought of moving these two armies because they were stationed near New Delhi. Once something happened in New Delhi, they would come to protect them as soon as possible.
"Do we have a better choice?" General Meta said: "If you don't block the Pakistanis as soon as possible, God knows what they are going to do."
"We can use infantry! We can blow up the bridge!" said Sendalgi.
Infantry can block armored forces! An infantry division in Pakistan forced the Indian armored division to block the Indus River because the Pakistani people broke the bridge, and their side could also use the same method!
"Blast the bridge?" General Meta said: "Which bridge should we break?"
Although they are all the same infantry blocking armored soldiers, the situation is different. The Indians' goal is very clear, which is to go to Karachi, and no one knows where this armored soldier in Pakistan is going.
They can blow up one, two bridges. However, it is impossible to blow up all nearby bridges, which will cause a complete interruption of traffic in India. When the war is over and the cost of rebuilding these bridges will be astronomical.
There are five or six rivers of all sizes nearby.
Hearing General Meta's words, Sendarji stopped talking. Who could predict the movements of the Pakistani army? That Mhamad was simply a lunatic. Why didn't the Soviets kill him on the battlefield in Afghanistan?
"Can't hesitate anymore." Rajiv said: "Spread the infantry division of Chandigarh, dispatch our 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Mechanized Brigade to fully encircle and suppress the armored forces of Pakistan entering our territory! If necessary, you can blow up the bridges along the way! Order the Disagar mobile troops in Madhya Pradesh to mobilize them to the vicinity of New Delhi to take on the defense mission of New Delhi."
"Yes." Sendalgi said.
Since the Prime Minister has agreed to such a combat deployment, what else can I say? The Disagar mobile troops are moving very quickly. After receiving the order, they should be able to arrive in New Delhi within two days.
Will the Pakistanis attack New Delhi? They are said to have no chance for the time being, and now, the important thing is to block this terrible armored force of Pakistan.
"Prime Minister, the Soviet ambassador asked for a meeting." A new decision was made, and it was already dawn. Now, when he heard the Soviet ambassador asked for a meeting, Rajiv frowned. Could it be that the Soviets urged their side to continue to restrain the Pakistani army on the Eastern Front to alleviate their pressure in Afghanistan? If this is true, he should be scolding. India's losses are already great enough. Both armored divisions were surrounded and unable to break out. It is impossible for us to engage in a new war. Now it is not to restrain the Pakistani army, but to hinder the Pakistani army from raging on our own territory!
When he met the Soviet ambassador, Rajiv's attitude was very cold: "Mr. Ambassador, what else do you have?"
"We learned that your navy and air force suffered huge losses. After Moscow research, we decided to provide your navy with six frigates free of charge to supplement your losses. Please send personnel to our Northern Fleet Base to receive it." The Soviet ambassador said.
This is still a human word! Now we are indeed in urgent need of warships.
"Is it your Storm Haiyan Frigate?" Rajiv asked. This kind of frigate was the main force of the Soviet Navy, carrying various advanced missiles, air defense, and anti-submarine performance balanced. NATO named it the Krivak class.
"It's our Type 50, and these warships have very good performance." said the Soviet ambassador.
Type 50! Rajiv suddenly exhales. This is not a missile frigate at all. The weapons on it are backward artillery! NATO named Riga Class. Judging from the time, these warships have reached their service period in the Soviet navy. When it is time to retire, they throw this junk to India!
Rajiv's dissatisfaction was immediately vented: "Please note that we are your allies. Is this how you treat your allies? We have paid dozens of warships to lose! There are still hundreds of planes! If you cannot support us, I think American friends will welcome us."
If Pakistan hadn't played a key role in the Afghan War, the United States had always maintained good relations with India, so it would be like now! If the Soviet Union could not support India, then switching to the United States would be a good choice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Prime Minister." The Soviet ambassador said: "We have suffered a lot of losses. Moscow has begun to control our military budget. If we overspent, the war will not be able to continue. With Mhamad's character, I'm afraid I will take revenge with all my strength."
All of this is damn Pakistan, damn Mhamad! Rajiv's red eyes are almost filled with fire.
"If you feel that those frigates cannot meet your requirements, you can renovate them in our shipyard. You only need to provide a cost price." The Soviet ambassador said.
The Soviet Union began to play with Indians in this era by providing ships for free and making money through transformation.
Unfortunately, Rajiv didn't know it was a plan and immediately agreed: "Yes, it must be modified! It must be equipped with anti-ship missiles and air defense missiles!"
"We will definitely satisfy you." The Soviet ambassador continued: "Now, I heard that the Pakistani army has entered India's territory?"
When Rajiv mentioned this, he was full of anger.
"Yes, the Pakistani army dares to invade our country!" Rajiv said: "We will definitely fight back!"
"Pakistan's army is not strong, they mainly have air force advantages." The Soviet ambassador said: "In order to help you kill Pakistan's air force, we are willing to provide you with some short-range missiles."
Short-range missile! Hearing the words of the Soviet ambassador, Rajiv was immediately delighted.
Last time, the Soviet Union completely destroyed the Peshawar base by only five ballistic missiles. Pakistan has not completely restored the base until now.
The power of the ballistic missile is huge, and the attacked party has no room for fight back.
"Now, Pakistan's air force is mainly concentrated in the Sagoda Air Force Base in the east. As long as you have a ballistic missile with a range of 500 kilometers, it is enough to attack them near New Delhi. The ideal launch site is in the Indian desert in western New Delhi. We decided to provide you with twenty Scud missiles, which is enough to completely destroy Pakistan's air force base!"
Scud missile! This is already a backward liquid missile, exported to multiple countries one after another, and has begun to retire in the Soviet army sequence.
He used this retired weapon to exert his residual energy and just killed Pakistan's air force base. The Soviets' abacus were very good.
"Twenty are not enough, we need at least one hundred." Rajiv said: "We need to use a thorough attack to blow up all the air bases in Pakistan, so that their fighter jets can't take off and land!"
Last time, if the Soviets were a little stronger, invested more ballistic missiles and completely paralyzed all air bases in Pakistan, they would have achieved a comprehensive victory long ago.
