Chapter 683 Attack on Calcutta

For the 72nd Infantry Brigade of the Indian Border Defense Force, this night was their doomsday.

There was a tension on the national borders here due to the enclave dispute, and it even caused a large-scale war. However, in the end, the enclave problem was finally resolved, and the armored troops that had been mobilized also returned.

After all, for the current Indian army, the important goal of guarding is still New Delhi, which is their capital and the heart of India. If New Delhi is captured by Pakistanis again, India will lose its last fig leaf.

There is only one infantry brigade here, guarding the border between the west and Bangladesh. During the day, they can stand guard and patrol, and at night, they will almost go back to the barracks to sleep.

Before going to bed, they will comment on the current situation and how it is in the Middle East. Then, in a sneer of Iraq, they enter the mosquito net. It has already entered summer here. The climate is not very hot, but it is stuffy, a little wet, and there are many mosquitoes.

When the shells in the sky flew over, the entire border troops were almost asleep, and the whistling shells outside did not wake them up.

"Boom!" A 155mm grenade landed in the military camp and exploded. In an instant, the air waves overturned the barracks, and the flying shrapnel were everywhere. A large hole more than one meter deep appeared on the ground.

The people in the barracks around them woke up instantly. When they sat up, they had not realized what was going on. Then, there was another sound of sharp shells flying in.

"Run quickly, it's a shell!" The clever one has already realized that it is the most dangerous to stay in the barracks at this time, so just run to the air raid shelter!

However, as soon as the words were finished, another loud explosion sounded. The unlucky guy had just run out of the door and had an intimate contact with a flying shrapnel. His body was torn apart in an instant and blood splattered.

"Boom, boom!" The explosion kept ringing. The terrifying rocket shells flew over! This place instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The terrifying thing about rocket launchers is its huge large-scale lethality. The area covered by rocket launchers is the ocean of death!

The outposts and fortifications on the border were all turned into ruins under fierce shelling.

When the shelling was shot, there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and only a few soldiers survived the terrible storm.

However, the land under their bodies began to tremble.

It was like an earthquake, and the trembling ground made them tremble. The armored cluster was the movement of the army's attack on the scale of the armored division!

The veterans who fought several India-Pakistan wars all had pale faces.

A Pakistani Leopard 2 tank had already started to rumble. As soon as the shelling stopped, the armored troops started to move. At this time, in the night vision instrument, thermal imaging of those who were still alive could be seen.

"Dada, dadada." The tank's juxtaposed machine guns fired, and those undead guys were fired by the tank's machine guns.

Soon, the scene calmed down again.

More tanks were crushed directly from the ruins, and the rolling torrent of armor continued to move forward.

Kolkata. Indian Eastern Military Region Command.

The Indian Army is also divided into military regions. India in later generations had 6 military regions. Among them, the Northern Military Region Command is located in Udampur, India-occupied Kashmir, with 3 military forces, responsible for the defense of the northern section of the Indian-Pakistan border in Kashmir and the western section of the Indian-China border; the Western Military Region Command is located in Chandigar and has 3 military forces, responsible for the defense of the Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Northern Rajasthan; the Eastern Military Region Command is located in Kolkata. It has 3 military forces, responsible for the defense of the India-Bangladesh border, the India-Myanmar border and the eastern section of the India-China border.

; The Central Military Region Command is located in Lucknow, with one army under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the central states and the Himalayas border areas in the central region, and serves as the reserve team for the east and west war zones; the Southern Military Region Command is located in Pune, with two army under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of the southern section of the India-Pakistan border. Until 5 years, India established a new Southwest Military Region, which is located in Jaipur, with two army under its jurisdiction, and the defense area includes an important area from Fazrka in Punjab to Ganganagal and Bikannel in Rajasthan.

Now, with the victory of Pakistan's series of wars against India, the Kashmir region has been in name only, and the focus is on defending the western region. Therefore, although the Eastern Military Region nominally still has three armies, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the 33rd Army, in fact, the tanks and armored vehicles equipped in these armies have been consumed in the previous wars, together with the armored soldiers, and they are all consumed on the Western Front. On the long border, all of them are light infantry.

These armies are okay in positional warfare, but when fighting outside, they cannot compete with armored troops at all. Moreover, with veterans being transferred, many of them are recruited in the past one or two years. They are not trained properly and have no combat experience and courage.

When a large-scale fire broke out in the east and Pakistan's armored forces advanced from the east, a left-behind staff member in Kolkata received the news and his face turned pale.

If he performed his duties conscientiously, he should immediately wake up the commander of the Eastern Military Region, wake up all staff members, discuss countermeasures together, and then mobilize other troops to encircle and block the invading armored forces on the national border, insist on fighting, and wait for the arrival of support.

However, he did not do so. In recent years, India has been suppressed by Pakistan. The confidence in its own army has been reduced to the lowest point within the Indian army, and they all know that they can't resist the Pakistani army's attack at all.

Instead of being cannon fodder in the battle, it is better to retreat quickly! So, after putting down the phone, the staff officer ran downstairs almost for a moment, jumped into an Indian-made Tata sedan, ran back to Jia, called his wife and children, and embarked on the journey of escape.

On the phone, he heard the deafening sound of cannons. Once the war broke out, the entire Kolkata would become a ruin. At this time, his wife and children were more important.

He didn't know that because of his own cowardice, the rapid fall of Kolkata and the instantaneous decay of the entire eastern situation in India.

Pakistan's First Armored Division was advancing rapidly and at three o'clock, it seized a bridge over a river in eastern Kolkata, the only way to Kolkata.

However, just one bridge obviously cannot allow the armored troops to pass quickly. After observing the depth and flow rate of the river, the armored troops on the front line decided to set up a pontoon bridge directly!

Several bridge-building equipment were starting quickly, and soon, several new bridges were quickly built, and tanks rumbled over.

As for infantry fighting vehicles accompanied by armored forces, such as Pakistan's own wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and American-made m113 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, they all have the ability to float on the water and directly drove from the river.

One by one, the equipment passed quickly from the estuary, and at the same time, a rumbling sound rang out above their heads.

Armed helicopters, covered with bombs, headed towards the airport outside Kolkata.

These armed helicopters are professional armed helicopters produced by Pakistan! Their edges and angular shapes, unique cockpits, and bullets under the short wings on both sides are all highly similar to those of South African tea falcons.

After several years of development, the armed helicopter "self-developed" by Pakistan has finally matured! It has begun to equip the army in large quantities. In the past, the Americans wanted to use Apache helicopters to block Pakistan and make Pakistan agree to certain conditions, but now, Pakistan no longer needs it.

Following the armed helicopter are more than twenty Black Hawk helicopters. These helicopter transport combat teams will quickly arrive at the airport, control key departments, and wait for the arrival of their own heavy troops.

It's a busy evening!

When the city of Kolkata appeared in front of me, the east was already covered with white whites. Pakistani armored troops came over and it was as if they were no one to enter the land!

A tank battalion of an armored brigade of the First Armored Division started to Kolkata Airport. When they arrived, the on-site battle had ended. The commander of Unit A was sitting on a captured Type 59 tank, waiting for the arrival of this armored unit.

The attack was too sudden. When they landed in the airport waiting hall, landed on the airport runway and above the hangar, they did not encounter any resistance from the Indians. When the armed helicopters began to attack military targets, the Indians ran away.

This is a military-civilian dual-purpose airport. Apart from the few civil aviation aircraft on the runway, the airport only has the old MiG-21 aircraft. Looking at the old antiques, the commander of the A unit is not very interested.

The harvest is too little!

They didn't know that the other troops were getting a lot of gains!

Kolkata port.

This is a military-civilian port, a major base of India's East Coast fleet. It was not until dawn that news of Pakistan's invasion came, and the naval officers and soldiers in this port were immediately panicked.

Next to the dock, there is a straight deck, an aircraft carrier with a runway in front. Thick smoke comes out of the chimney. The first step of departure is to create a fire! Heat the boiler!
