Chapter 80 The Road of Death

The Battle of Sur was also accused of the Chamo Line, led by the Northwest Army of India.

Chamo is located in the southwest of Kashmir, close to Siryakot, northeast of Punjab Province, Pakistan. Although this small city with a population of less than 10,000 can’t be found on many maps, in Kashmir, reading is a strategic location as important as Srinagar.

Before the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Chaqi was controlled by India and was one of the most important military strongholds in the Kashmir region. During the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Pakistani army attacked Srinagar with all its might. In order to constrain the main forces of the Indian army and prevent the Indian army from reinforcement of Srinagar, the Pakistani army dispatched the most elite mountain infantry division and captured Chamo with the support of the air force and long-range artillery. According to the combat plan formulated by the Pakistani army at that time, after occupying Chamo, they will also attack Botankod, which is close to Kashmir, cut off the main ground passage between India and Kashmir, laying the foundation for controlling the entire kilogram and Kashmir region. However, the Pakistani army's appetite was too great, and the Republic did not have it. The plan to launch a ground war, so before the end of the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Pakistani army not only failed to push the ceasefire line to Betankod, but even failed to occupy the entire Srinagar because it invested too much force in Chaqi. Judging from the strategic situation in Kashmir, the Pakistani army threw away part of the Srinagar city in order to Chaqi, which was not worth the loss. After the war, the Indian media once called for the fact that Pakistan was the Chaqi, which was a dagger that was pressed on India's heart. The army controlled the Chaqi, which was equivalent to bypassing the tightly fortified Srinagar and being able to reach Betankod within 2 days. Arriving in Chandigarh within the old sky, and reaching New Delhi within a month after the thug.

Because checking the buns is so important, India and Pakistan have been fighting in the region.

After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Pakistan still invested huge amounts of money while completely reducing military expenditures and strengthening national economic construction. It built a high-level highway from Srinagar to Chamo, and set up many military strongholds along the way. In order to consolidate Chamo's defensive power, the Pakistani army hired the Republic's military adviser to redesign and build a reading defense system, trying to turn reading into Kashmir's number one military fortress.

In the past few years, India has never given up on the idea of ​​fighting back to the reading. When the Pakistani army fully consolidated the defense of the model check, the Indian army improved the status of the model checking, set up a new defense line in the model checking, and deployed heavy troops in the direction of the model checking. In order to capture the model checking, the Indian Army Command formulated dozens of sets of related combat strategies and benefits, and some combat strategy fighters even mentioned that they were discussing the use of tactical nuclear weapons!

It can be imagined that after India and Pakistan declared war, the model once again became the focus of competition.

On the night of the 4th, the Indian Army Group launched from Betankode and advanced to the model check less than a minute after the outbreak of the Battle of Kasul.

Due to the limitations of terrain conditions, the main force of the Indian army is mountain infantry.

The Pakistani army had long expected that the Indian army would attack Chamo, so when the Indian army launched an attack, the Pakistani army was ready to fight.

Like the Indian Army, the main force of the Bar Army is also the Xiumao Infantry.

It seemed that he was very confident in mountain combat, and the Pakistani army did not ask for help from the front line command.

In fact, Pei Chengyi did not intend to interfere in the combat operations in the direction of checking the buns.

For both sides of the war, the biggest enemy was not the opponent, but the geographical environment was too bad. In other words, from Betankode to Chamo, a natural barrier was formed to defend against one side in a complex manner. After occupying Chamo, the Ba army failed to advance towards Betankode quickly, which was also very funny to the geographical environment.

Because she has worked in Pakistan for 2 years, Pei Chengyi is very clear about the situation of reading.

After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, India was formulating a combat plan to attack Chamo. Pakistan was also formulating a combat plan to guard Chamo.

After the war, the first thing the Pakistani Army did was to summarize the experience of capturing Chamo.

You should know that in the first three India-Pakistan wars, Pakistan was paying attention to the hunting of the buns, and even took practical actions during the Second India-Pakistan War, but they all ended in failure. During the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Pakistani Army easily captured the hunting of the buns, and there must be internal factors.

According to the experience summarized by the Pakistan Army, there are three elements to capture Chamo: one is air supremacy, as well as air support brought by air supremacy, and related firepower support; the second is restrained offensive operations in other directions, thereby dispersing the guards; the third is sudden and rapid offensive actions, especially low-altitude assaults that do not rely on the road traffic system. Whether it is the Pakistani army or the Indian army, it is only possible to capture Chamo under the premise of having these three elements.

Based on the summarized experience, under the guidance of the Republic's military adviser, the Ba Army adjusted the defense deployment of Chamo.

Air supremacy is the mission of the Air Force, and the Pakistani Army does not have much say. According to the evaluation of the Pakistani Army, as long as the alliance with the Republic does not change, the Pakistani Air Force will have sufficient ability to seize air supremacy in future wars.

What the Pakistan Army can do is prepare in two other aspects.

In order to achieve the goal of restraining the Indian army, the Pakistani Army comprehensively strengthened the defense of the northern urban area of ​​Srinagar, allowing Srinagar and Chamo to rely on each other and support each other. In this way, whether the Indian army attacks Chamo or attacks Srinagar, they will be subject to another kilogram of direction. Judging from the traffic conditions in the Kashmir region, the Indian Army does not have enough strength to support the offensive operations in both directions. Although the Indian army has adjusted the army's force structure during the period of strength, focusing on the development of the combat troops considered by the low-altitude assault department, it has no air supremacy.

Under the circumstances, the Indian Army is still invincible. The second ground transportation system cannot launch an attack in a low-altitude assault like the Republic Army. In order to be foolproof, the Pakistani Army attaches great importance to air defense when building Chamo defense zone, especially air defense forces to deal with ultra-low-altitude targets. This is also true that the Pakistani infantry deployed in Chamo is equipped with more air defense weapons, and even formed a special air defense force. What is even more amazing is that a large number of remote-controlled sensing landmines can be buried in almost every place where helicopters can be used for air landing.

Compared with the Pakistani army, the Indian army attached more importance to the attack. After all, killing the buns back is the top priority.

To this end, the Indian army's mountain troops began to undergo a comprehensive change around the year before. Previous mountain troops were basically infantry units that could fight in plateau and rugged terrain conditions. After receiving full support from the United States, more than half of the mountain troops of the Indian Army were transformed into low-altitude assault troops. Before the southern Tibet conflict, India purchased thousands of helicopters from the United States, which were mostly free-to-use U.S. military elimination equipment. Before the war broke out, the Indian army equipped a total of scoop helicopters, of which nearly 80% were fierce and fierce that could be used in plateau areas. There were fewer armed helicopters suitable for use on plain battlefields. From this, it can be seen that the Indian Army attached great importance to mountain combat and even regarded mountain combat troops as the main force.

The problem is that without air supremacy, low-altitude assault forces have no value for existence.

When the Indian Army began to advance towards Chamo, it had to face a pound. A very embarrassing problem was that the helicopters that were originally supposed to carry offensive troops either hid in the underground cave or retreated to the southern area. The mountain combat troops had recovered their original appearance and could only go to the battlefield on foot or on vehicles.

After grasping this situation, Pei Chengyi had nothing to worry about.

After asking the Air Force to arrange two squadrons of small thugs, the Concao fighter jets patrolled over Kashmir, Pei Chengyi did not provide much support to the Pakistani army.

With the Indian army's assault speed, even if there is no obstruction, it will take as soon as 2 days to arrive and investigate.

Two days later, who can tell what it looks like on the battlefield?

Of course, the Pakistani commander was not as relaxed as Pei Chengyi.

After the Indian army set out, the Ba army turned its focus to checking the buns. Although Kasul could not be thrown away, checking the buns was more important in comparison.

Also restricted by terrain conditions, the Pakistani army could only use infantry to fight positions to defend against war.

As a result, in the middle of the century-long era, a very strange war broke out. Neither side used armored forces on a large scale nor invested a large amount of air force. Instead, thousands of infantrymen walked out to launch a "hand-to-hand combat" on a barren and poor land.

Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, this is a showdown between infantrymen.

The Indian army's attack was very tenacious because the main force of the Pakistani army who went south from Srinagar would arrive at Chamo on the night of the 6th. If it could not be captured before this, it would lose the opportunity to occupy Chamo. What's more, the main force of the Pakistani army went south from Srinagar to participate in combat operations in the direction of Lahore. If the Pakistani army was allowed to launch a counterattack in the direction of Lahore, the Indian army would lose the initiative in the battle. For the Indian army, the attack on Chamo can only succeed, not fail, and Chamo must be occupied before the evening of the 6th!

The Ba army's defense was very tenacious, because losing the model check was equivalent to ruining the main force.

During the battle, the Indian army had an advantage in terms of military strength.

The Indian army invested a total of 8 divisions and dismantled the only armored division to assist the infantry division on the front line. The total strength of the 8 divisions exceeded 10,000 yuan. Even if the thugs were lined up in a row, they could rank from the wrong to the Botankode. Such a huge force was definitely a arduous test for the Ba army, which had only 2 infantry divisions.

The only advantage of the Pakistani army is firepower.

Because the straight-line distance between Chamo and Botankode is more than 1,000 meters away from the nearest Indian town, except for a small number of artillery that accompanied the advance of infantry and armored soldiers, the Indian army could only use a few long-range rocket launchers, and almost all the cannons were useless.

Compared with the Indian army, the Pakistani army has no firepower problem at all.

After obtaining the electromagnetic gun system provided by the Republic, in addition to the several kilograms of the main armored division equipped with independent artillery brigades, the Pakistani army organized more than half of the electromagnetic gun systems into artillery brigades commanded by the military region and the group army. Two of the artillery brigades were deployed at a distance of less than 1,000 meters, so the artillery brigades at the two locations could provide artillery fire support to the Chamo defenders without transferring positions. There were 2 artillery brigades, a total of 6 electromagnetic gun systems, and their fire-throwing capabilities were equivalent to 6 traditional artillery brigades or 4 rocket artillery brigades.

For the thugs of 8 divisions of 00,000 Indian officers and soldiers, the mountain road from Betankode to Chatan is undoubtedly a road of death.

After 6 o'clock, the Indian army stopped advancing.

The Pakistani artillery can accurately carry out artillery fire at night, and as the sky brightens, it will become more dangerous during the day.

The problem is that for the Indian army that has entered the range of the Pakistani army's artillery attack, there is not much difference between stopping and continuing to move forward, and there is a dead end on both sides.

From the Indian army's standpoint, if the ultimate goal is to capture Chamo, the only way is to continue moving forward

Although the artillery fire of the Pakistani army is very fierce, the artillery can't keep firing and must rest. As long as you persist, the intensity of the artillery fire of the Pakistani army will soon decrease. Only by taking advantage of the artillery gap between the Pakistani army can the Indian army have the opportunity to arrive at Chamo.

The problem is here. The sudden stop of the Indian army can only show that the purpose of the Indian army is not to lay the model check.

After receiving the battle report in the direction of Chamo, Pei Chengyi immediately contacted Sai Biao and asked the troops who had already set up an attack to pay attention to the abnormal situation in the south.

The situation was very clear, and the purpose of the Indian army to attack the Momo was to distract the Chinese and Pakistani troops.

When Chamo is threatened, the main force of the Pakistani army that is heading south will definitely speed up the march and arrive at Chamo before the Indian army. As the main force of the Pakistani army accelerates its southward, the Indian army group deployed at the Bernighal Pass does not have to worry about flanking threats and can go north with confidence.

Pei Chengyi did not interfere in the battle of Chamo, and hoped that the Indian army would go north.

The Tian army began to attack Srinagar at 2 a.m. on the day. According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, Sai Biao only sent a thug to fight brigade and two aviation battalions. At the same time, the artillery brigade was fully capable of shelling the Indian positions in the southern city of Srinagar, creating signs of the army attacking Srinagar with all its might. In fact, the main forces of the Tian army were all outside the battlefield and were waiting for the upcoming Indian army group.

No matter what the final result is, if the wounded army can annihilate the Indian army group in the south of Srinagar, even if it only hurts the Indian army group thugs, it will force the Indian army to increase troops in the direction of Srinagar, and even force the Indian army to make a false act and try its best to attack and check the model, preventing the Pakistani army who have already moved south from returning to Srinagar.
