Since President Imel Khan insisted on staying in Islamabad, and it was a Pakistani aviation manufacturing base, and there was a production line of Xiaolong and J-10P fighter jets that had been established for decades, the Pakistani army and the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army formulated a combat plan to defend Islamabad. On the premise that the PLA's 52nd and 53rd Mountain Divisions approached Srinagar, the defense of Kashmir's eastern front could be handed over to the PLA to guard it.
In this way, the elite forces left by the Pakistani army in Kashmir, the Independent 1st Armored Brigade and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division rushed to Islamabad at night, preparing to work with the 6th Armored Division, the Independent 11th Armored Brigade, the 17th Infantry Division, and the Independent 3rd Armored Division of the Pakistani Army, with the strength of 4 divisions and 2 brigades, and jointly fought against the fierce attacks of the US 4th Mechanized Infantry Division and the US 10th Mountain Division near Islamabad.
On the Eastern Front battlefield, after the 4th Badian Army in Lahore, Punjab Province was defeated by the Indian army, the elite 14th Mechanized Infantry Division (one of the four elite mechanized infantry divisions of the Pakistani Army), the 1st Armored Division, the 8th and 15th Infantry Divisions and the Independent 5th Armored Brigade of the 30th Badian Army, as well as the 35th Infantry Division of the 1st Army, as well as the 35th Infantry Division of the 1st Army, gathered 5 divisions and 1 brigade of the troops, and formed a new eastern defense line from Lahore to Gujilanwara area, trying to block the four main American equipment divisions of the Indian Army breaking into Pakistan.
In the air, in the first round of air strikes, the radar system and surface-to-air missile defense forces near Islamabad suffered serious losses, almost half of the large fixed radar system was lost, and the surface-to-air missile defense systems were damaged. The Pakistani army did not expect that the US military would fight with the Indian army this time. Therefore, the main air force near Islamabad attacked to deal with the Indian Air Force, leaving Islamabad empty in its troops. Fortunately, there are dozens of the latest production new Xiaolong and J-10P fighters in the aviation manufacturing base. In addition, this has always been a training base for Persian and Pakistani pilots, and all weapons and ammunition are available, so these fighters can be used urgently on the blade, and finally resisted the first round of attacks of the US military, waiting for the support of Kashmir and the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
However, even so, in the first round of air combat with the US and Indian troops, the Pakistani Air Force lost more than 150 fighter jets of various types, and was severely injured for a while, with only defensive power. In addition to the more than 30 fighter jets lost by the People's Liberation Army, China and Pakistan lost nearly 190 fighter jets in the first round of air combat. However, at such a heavy price, China and Pakistan did not have no gains. They destroyed more than 20 US F-35 fighters, more than 30 F-15E/F fighters over Islamabad on the Western Front, and destroyed more than 40 Indian F-16C/D fighters and more than 30 F-35 fighters on the Eastern Front battlefield, causing the Indian Air Force to be severely damaged again and temporarily losing the ability to fight again.
As the main air force near Islamabad was severely damaged, there were only two squadrons left, and the Pakistani army urgently mobilized two squadrons of J-10B from Kashmir to Islamabad, maintaining nearly 100 combat readiness levels in four squadrons. Together with the remaining three squadrons in Kashmir, the Pakistani army could gather 180 fighter jets over Islamabad for defense. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army urgently transferred from the mainland to mobilize 2 J-10C flying regiments and 1 J-20 flying regiment to Srinaga, increasing the number of China-Pakistan air force in Islamabad to more than 300.
The two J-10C flying regiments originally stationed at Ali Air Force Base have also been replenished in a timely manner and can provide reinforcements at any time.
With such strong air force to protect the safe passage from Kashmir to the country, the Y-20 large transport aircraft began to continuously transport various combat readiness materials to Srinaga, from weapons and ammunition to radar systems, and the PLA's material resources were continuously sourced. For the surface-to-air missile defense system that Islamabad was urgently needed, the PLA Y-20 ventured to urgently transport the equipment of two Red Flag-16A missile battalions to Islamabad Airport under the escort of two J-10C flight regiments.
The US military has collected more than 100 F-35s and more than 100 F-15E/F fighter jets in Afghanistan and the Gulf, plus two F/A-18 Super Hornet Wings of two aircraft carriers roaming in the Persian Gulf, as well as three F-16C/D fighters deployed by the Indian army at the front of the battlefield on the East Palestinian Front and one remaining squadron, F-35 and SU-30MKI. The total number of Indian and US air force fighters is no less than that of China and Pakistan. However, because the Indian army was once again frustrated by the Pakistani army, they only agreed to support the operations of their own ground forces and were no longer willing to join the air force to attack near Islamabad.
For the A-San military, they are now paying attention to not only the Western Front battlefield. In the east, the southern Tibet area occupied by the Indian army has already smoked everywhere, and it is quite like a prairie fire.
The chess pieces built by the Chinese side in southern Tibet were now supported by the People's Liberation Army's secret weapons, and successfully occupied the British and Yingkun areas in eastern southern Tibet. Immediately afterwards, two mountain regiments of the People's Liberation Army's Southwest Military Region airborne two places, and together with the local uprising armed forces, they established a solid frontier position, and firmly defended several local field airports to receive the arrival of the People's Liberation Army's two Destroyer Unmanned Fighter Special Battalions.
Faced with the first counterattack of the Indian army, with the cooperation of the PLA Air Force and drones, the PLA's two mountain regiments cleanly defeated the first round of attacks of the two Indian brigades. If nothing unexpected happens, the main force of the 13th Army of the PLA Southwest Military Region, which had already entered the Linzhi area, the 37th Division and the 38th Division will soon enter southern Tibet.
As the four mountain divisions focused on building by the Southwest Military Region, the 37th and 38th Divisions are as maneuverable as the 52nd Division in the Ali area, the 53rd Division has strong maneuverability and strong firepower. It is under its jurisdiction with 1 T-96G tank regiment, 3 all-terrain mechanics and infringements, 1 light artillery regiment (2 105 mountain howitzer battalions and 1 wheeled self-propelled mortar howitzer battalions), 1 air defense regiment (2 Flying-90 short-range air defense missile battalions and 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalions), and a Destroyer Unmanned Fighter Special Battalion.
Under the premise of air supremacy, the firepower of the mountain divisions in the Southwest Military Region is even better than that of the US mountain division and even the mechatronic division. After all, there are 30 Destroyer drones. Each Destroyer drone can carry 16 Red Arrow-10 heavy anti-tank missiles at one time through 4 specially modified composite pylons. In addition, a rocket launch nest carrying 16 rockets, a Destroyer drone has amazing impact on targets such as tanks and heavy artillery. If there is insufficient air defense fire protection, each 30 Destroyer is enough to destroy an armored brigade.
Although the elite troops that Indian troops invaded Pakistan had been attacked by the Pakistani Destroyer UAV, the Indian Army's American mechanics were equipped with a large number of Avenger air defense missiles, and the Pakistani army lacked enough pterosaurs and other drones to assess the threat, the Pakistani Destroyer UAVs that were rashly dispatched were destroyed before they could exert their power. This successful battle example made the Indian army lose awe of the new weapon of the Pakistani Army.
Therefore, among the Indian troops reinforced the eastern part, the Indian army mobilized nearly half of the Akash air defense missile battalions in the country to strengthen air defense for the reinforced Indian troops. This movement of the Indian army was soon transmitted back to the Southwest War Zone General Command by the Shadow Unmanned Reconnaissance Plane, and then passed to the commander-in-chief of the South Tibet Front Command, and was leading the troops to advance rapidly.
The PLA responded quickly, which increased the pressure on the US front commanders. In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, the US military decided to launch a ground attack without waiting for the air battle to decide the outcome. After the Battle of Peshawar, the Pakistani army, which was heavily guarded, was vulnerable, verified the US commanders' predictions in advance. In terms of the army, the Pakistani army's combat power is still far from that of the US military.
In actual combat, the US longbow Apache armed helicopter cooperated with the M1A2SEP main battle tank, and faced the Pakistani Khalid main battle tanks as if they were destroyed. In the Battle of Peshawar, more than 150 main battle tanks of the Pakistani Khalid Armored Brigade were wiped out by the US 4th Mechanized Infantry Division Armored Brigade and Aviation Brigade in less than an hour. The US military lost only more than 10 tanks, and it was not even possible to face the Pakistani infantry division's single anti-tank firepower in the next battle to fight back to death.
It can be said that the Battle of Peshawar greatly increased the confidence of the US military command and understood the strength of the Pakistani army. According to the information obtained in advance by the US military, among the Pakistani army's active equipment, Khalid's main battle tanks are the elite main force of Pakistan's armored forces. The Pakistani army equipped a total of 2 Khalid's armored divisions and 4 independent Khalid's armored brigades, totaling more than 1,200 vehicles. The Pakistani army also has more than 1,000 Azra tanks transformed from the PLA T-59D modernization and more than 500 PLA ZTZ-99 series main battle tanks.
Compared with Khalid's main battle tank, the Azra tank is obviously more vulnerable. Therefore, in the eyes of the US commander, only the Pakistani First Armored Brigade equipped with the PLA ZTZ-99S and the Pakistani Third Armored Division were strongly enemies of the US military. However, the Pakistani army was equipped with more than 500 new tanks comparable to the US M1A2SEP, while the US 4th Mechanized Infantry Division was equipped with 320 M1A2 main battle tanks and more than 30 longbow Apaches. Even if the 10th Mountain Division had weak armor strength, it also strengthened a cluster of more than 240 M1A2SEP tanks when setting off. With more than 30 longbow Apaches, this attack power was only stronger than that of the Pakistani army in the face.
