Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 808 Forced Push
In New Delhi, Yaxi had gained his foothold during the day, and now it was his turn to use the night to fight back.Everything is within his plan, and it is an important part to use the advantages of night vision goggles to open up channels with other troops at night.Let the enemy fall into the fear of being attacked from both sides.At present, the Chinese and Pakistani troops are attacking from the southeast, and Yahini's position is extremely favorable. If he can get through in any direction, he can quickly divide the enemy's defense.However, after he got the news of Amir's early participation in the war, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

His other two battalions advanced under the cover of infantry of at least 2 regiments, advancing only 400 meters in one afternoon, and the loss of weapons was very large.The Amir group, which had withdrawn from the battle for two days, also appeared on the flanks, launching an aggressive attack regardless of casualties.

The Leopard II tank has shown certain advantages in urban assaults. Its top remote control weapon station has the ability to shoot without leaving a dead angle, and the advantages of night vision devices make it difficult for Indian troops to sneak around.But this is only one of Amir's advantages. He has already controlled most of the artillery that can be maneuvered by the top of the group army and the inter-division headquarters. The towed artillery battalion and the truck artillery battalion crossed the river through the pontoon bridge.He hoped that these artillery pieces would be effective in close combat and open a straight passage for his troops.

The drone flew past the building quietly, searching for the anti-aircraft fire of the enemy's escape. The night provides a good cover for the enemy to hide, and it is not wise to launch an attack at night.But the Pakistan Army could not wait for air support, and a large number of tank units had already crossed the river and rushed into battle in a hurry.It is an irresistible temptation for any commander to conquer the central government building of the Indian government and capture Kahan, the enemy of the whole country.

In order to prevent accidental injury by one's own side fighting at night, the Pakistani tanks forcibly divided the offensive channels, leaving a certain space between the tanks of adjacent troops to be controlled by the infantry. One, the offensive channel sandwiched between the exhibition hall and the New Delhi Stadium, completely destroyed the original division of the war zone, which is bound to bring huge chaos to the subsequent offensive.

The starting point of the attack won by Amir was originally the joint area between the troops left by Yahini and the 2nd Division. It is backed by the commanding heights of the old fort, facing the India Gate Square and the National Museum. It is an ideal offensive channel. .

According to common sense, Amir's group should stay behind the two attacking troops as a reserve team, but Amir and the people behind him have an almost pathological desire for honor, and they can't wait to strike at night.All afternoon, he worked hard to move the heavy gun to the commanding heights, and to charge the ammunition at the same time.For Amir, any obstacle should be cleared with shells, except for a few mosques, he did not hesitate to destroy any civilian areas and ancient ruins.

After the offensive was launched, Amir’s troops quickly exposed their incompatibility in urban warfare. His tanks destroyed several tanks of neighboring troops in a row. It was difficult for those nervous tankers to distinguish their own side from the thermal imaging TV. China's Type 59 or Type 96 tanks are different from India's T55 and T72.Not to mention the subtle differences between India's BMP1 combat vehicle and the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle supplied by China.

Yahini got the news that his 3rd Battalion was accidentally injured by his own side, and immediately asked Younis to let Amir withdraw from the very narrow offensive front. The existence of Amir will inevitably put a lot of pressure on the surrounding attacking troops, but Younis has already Unable to control Amir's cluster. Since Amir returned to the front line from the field hospital with injuries, he has directly communicated with the military headquarters and received high-level approval for revising the division plan. No one in the 1st Armored Division can restrain him. acted.

The chaos continued, Pasade took advantage of the night to put more troops into the battle, the advantage of China's aerial reconnaissance was weakened to a minimum, and it was difficult for drones to distinguish the tanks of both sides at night.

Yahini can still use the data link to grasp the position of the tanks of the two battalions of his own battalion separated a few streets away, but he cannot see the position of any friendly tanks, and he does not believe that his superiors can know his position at any time. He must also be accurate Control your own actions carefully, and limit them to the scope of notifying your superiors in advance, so as not to fall into your own artillery fire.

In the thermal imager, a line of tanks can be seen passing quickly 500 meters away. These tanks are not displayed on his digital map, but he still restrains his men not to fire, and continues to judge the camp of the tanks by their appearance.There are too many people scrambling nearby, especially the 6D and T59 tanks of the 84th Division, which created many difficulties in identification.The group army originally divided the attack area of ​​these tanks, but when they crossed the river, they all went into chaos, and then they all went into battle in a state of fighting on their own.

He and his commanders were under tremendous pressure, and after repeated confirmation, it was determined that it was a pair of T72s, not T84s.

These Indian tanks were about to slip through the middle of the two Pakistani troops attacking from east to west and move north.Yahini made up his mind to attack.Tasim fired first and destroyed the tanks in the middle of the team, blocking the way of the tanks of the half company behind. If possible, he should attack the first tank to ensure that all the enemies were captured, but confirming the target wasted the crucial 30 seconds, making them Missed the opportunity to wipe out the enemy.

The battle ended within a few minutes. Yahini called Rajani to move closer to him. If Rajani's two battalions could join up with him quickly, they could block Amir's way and actually destroy the possibility of Amir's attack. sex.He realized that if Amir got ahead, maybe his Leopard II would have a bigger advantage in the daytime.

Rajani's frontal advance was very difficult. The enemy's trucks loaded with explosives kept rushing out and hitting the front tanks.A few streets away, Yahini saw huge explosion flames not far away from time to time, followed by rumbling explosions.Rajani reported that the enemy's counterattack was very fierce. In addition, Amir's artillery fire hit his front from time to time, breaking his offensive line into a pile of rubble, making it impossible for him to pass quickly. Currently, he can only advance step by step for the camp.

The Indian infantry recklessly fired rockets in the small building, causing the entire combat area to be engulfed in flames. Such an infrared background greatly limited the infrared reconnaissance advantages of Yahini tanks and aerial drones. On the contrary, the fire reflected the streets The score is extra bright, allowing enemy infantry to see Yahini's tanks clearly.Yahini advised Tasim to keep watching the passage, so as not to miss what he should see.

The enemy infantry reacted from the initial bewilderment, and rockets of various calibers were fired from the surrounding buildings from time to time.Infantry again use laser pointing devices, requesting an attack from laser-guided projectiles.Some of the enemy's armored vehicles started releasing smoke, blocking the lasers to no avail.In this bombardment, most of the incoming shells went out of the air and fell scattered in all directions.

After the shelling failed temporarily, only the VT4 tanks were left, and they could directly use the weapon station to suppress the firing points in the building. The windows where the rocket launchers had just been fired were either on fire or filled with smoke. Rahman's tank commanders, through these The sign fired at the window, sending the delayed-explosion grenade into the window.Every time there is an explosion, people can be seen throwing people out of the window by the air waves.

In a corner of the chaotic battlefield, a tank pushed away the burning T72 tank and appeared in front of Yahini.

Due to the interference of the fire, Yahini was unable to confirm the enemy and us at the first time. Yahini's tank took the lead in aiming, but he immediately surpassed the gunner to stop the shooting. He guessed that most of the people rushing from the east were his own people. They should be able to see yourself.But the tank didn't appreciate it at all. He didn't bother to identify it at all, but opened fire immediately, destroying a 99 tank on the side of Yahini, less than 300 meters away.After confirming the hit, the tank quickly retracted, and Yahini confirmed that it was a Leopard II.

Amir's troops have already surpassed the line of attack demarcated by the line of sight. They have greatly expanded the front, bypassed difficult areas, and rushed to the front of friendly troops without any scruples. Troops are causing huge trouble.

Yahini retreated and avoided firing to avoid further damage, vowing to court-martial Amir. Ten seconds later, the Leopard II re-emerged from the sea of ​​flames and fired another shot at the destroyed 10 tank, killing a battle-tested crew. During the playing time, I didn't realize what I was doing at all.

Immediately, another Weasel infantry fighting vehicle rushed out, trying to launch a missile and destroying a VT4. After the VT4 released smoke and actively avoided the battle, the Weasel was unwilling to let go, and moved secretly to the left, trying to bypass an intersection, from the left Look for opportunities to attack the weak flanks of this main battle tank.

Yahini witnessed this crazy scene with his own eyes. Amir's people were so stupid that it was completely beyond his expectations. Not only could they not identify the enemy from a distance of several hundred meters, they were even so arrogant that they wanted to use an infantry fighting vehicle Challenge the main battle tank.

He ordered the whole group to continue retreating against the smoke, and then gave Saad an order to rush to the intersection.When this self-righteous chariot emerged from the side intersection.The huge 99 tank leaned over the main gun, rushed out of the smoke at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and slammed into the infantry fighting vehicle at an appropriate angle, knocking it to the ground.

Saad had rammed an American Bradley tank before, so he knew the essentials of ramming these tall European and American tanks. He knew that the few fools in the tank would definitely suffer some minor injuries, and maybe they would be killed by the nearby Indians. The infantry killed them, but that was what they asked for.

The second round of laser-guided shells fired directly at the buildings in front, razing a large area of ​​houses to the ground, temporarily blocking the gathering of several nearby enemies and Almi's tank.Now Yahini is at a loss. He can't directly talk to any of Amir's company commanders on the radio. The communication through the headquarters will inevitably be delayed for a long time. Now he can only retreat temporarily to avoid facing the group of mad dogs. .

Just 1 km away, in the direction of Amir's cluster advance, several 122mm towed howitzers were pushed directly onto the street. After the attacking troops were hit by intensive firepower from all directions, Amir began to implement his most extreme revenge According to the plan, he used a large-caliber howitzer to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's machine guns.It was this frenzied style of play that allowed him to temporarily lead the friendly forces on the left and right flanks, and forced a path.

The 122mm howitzer has a thin front shield, making it more suitable for such brutal combat than truck guns.This old-fashioned artillery itself is very strong, but it is not easy to be destroyed.

After relying on infantry casualties, pushing the artillery into place and loading it one after another, aiming is not too troublesome.

The huge artillery approached within a few hundred meters and fired at the fire-breathing buildings directly in front, causing devastating damage to those buildings every time.

The Pakistani artillery, who is not afraid of death, directly irradiates with the strong light of the searchlight, which temporarily destroys the observation ability of the Indian soldiers and wins a short time for the shelling.After some time groping, they stopped shooting at the windows that sprayed firepower, but directly shot at the ground floor of the building. This is the crux of the quality of Indian buildings that are not up to standard. Houses were half pulled and destroyed.Amir seemed to have found a shortcut to the Prime Minister's Palace, and his artillery began to fire on any building in sight, smashing everything into rubble.

In the middle of the night, relying on artillery, Amir's tanks had already rushed to the northeast of Yahini, blocking the shy Yahini troops from heading for the India Gate.

Amir seems to have turned defeat into victory in this competition, but at this moment his troops began to fail, most of the tanks were damaged and had to wait for repairs, and the loss of other heavy weapons and personnel was countless. In four hours, he temporarily promoted five company commanders and nineteen platoon leaders, and now he was forced to stop and wait for a little breather so that he could launch a new offensive during the day.

But the Indian didn't seem prepared to let him catch his breath, and Amir's hand was too far away, giving the enemy a chance to watch carefully and perform a penetration.Pasade has been waiting for an opportunity, and now his tanks can now sneak around the opponent through underground passages. ,
Next to the burning ruins, several Leopard II tanks appeared out of nowhere, and began to circle to the north of the Amir cluster. Unlike Amir's Leopard II, these tanks came from the German Wehrmacht. Long guns, but the differences are not easy to identify.

Lieutenant General Pascianita personally directed the counterattack. The Leopard II tank guided the T72 and inserted it directly to the north of Amir, who had no flank cover. He crossed the cluster salient. Because he found that the enemies close to the exhibition center were not easy to fool and had to stay away from them.

The Pakistani infantry along the street are trying to use trucks to drag the 3-ton towed artillery to the front. Some artillery are cleaning the barrels, and the tank repair vehicle is parked on the rubble to carry out front-line repairs. The Pakistanis did not even pull the tank down slightly. They thought it was impossible for the Indian troops to fight back.

The Indian tank suddenly turned the corner without arousing anyone's vigilance.It wasn't until someone saw the low-slung T72 emerging right behind the Leopard II that they realized something was wrong.

The Leopard II of the Indian 4th Armored Division began to turn the muzzle, and suddenly launched a salvo. They gave priority to shooting tanks, artillery and tank repair vehicles.The infantry that emerged through the underground passage focused on attacking the ammunition vehicles that the Pakistani army drove to the front line.Amir eagerly dragged the ammunition to the front in preparation for the next day's attack. Such a low-level mistake caused all the ammunition to be reimbursed during the attack.
