Chapter 1042 Gernal (ask for monthly pass at the end of the month)

Karnar.

This is an important military town in India. It is located at the confluence of two rivers and controls the two rivers. On the other side of one river is Khalistan and on the other side is Nepal.

The width of the two rivers is about 40 to 50 meters, and the widest part is 100 meters.

Over the years, the Indian army has built a large number of fortifications here, and various bunkers and trenches can be seen everywhere.

India has stationed a whole reorganized division in Karnar, with 15,000 people.

An Indian reorganized division is 15,000 people, including a communications regiment, three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, an engineering regiment, a service battalion and a military police.

Not only that, about 120 kilometers away from Karnar is Delhi, which was originally the capital of India. It was the national political, economic and cultural center of India at that time, and the largest commercial center in northern India.

Now it is a military town in northern India, with 10 Indian army reorganized divisions stationed here. At the same time, it also has the largest air force base and India's top three air defense firepower.

This is also the northern combat command center, coordinating and commanding more than 1 million troops in this area.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Indian army has mobilized and urgently expanded its army by 2 million.

In the north, in addition to the original 500,000 regular troops, the remaining 500,000 are urgently expanded, and the reserve forces are converted to regular troops, but there are only light weapons, and mortars are pitifully few.

The entire reorganized division stationed in Karnar is an elite reorganized division of the Indian Army, and the soldiers serving have at least three years of military experience.

Since New Year's Day, combat readiness has been strengthened here. After the exchange of fire, facing the Khalistan State and Nepalese armies at the same time, the two sides fired across the river, artillery battles across the river, or launched air battles in the sky.

Although the battle was fierce, the casualties were not large.

After losing a thousand troops, they were immediately supplemented by a thousand troops.

This place cannot be lost. Once it is lost, the two lines of defense will be torn open, and the opponent's army will be able to cross the river continuously.

This is also the only place where large-scale ground battles may break out among the three parties.

The Indian army took a defensive position on the southern, eastern, northern and northwest fronts, and took an offensive position on the western front, intending to defeat the Pakistani army and seize the Indus Plain.

Five o'clock in the morning is the best place to sleep in a day.

But the soldiers on duty at the Indian army's outposts are still on high alert.

"Boom~~Boom~~~" There was a sound from the sky.

The soldiers at the outpost couldn't help but look up and look at the sky, and then their faces changed.

Plane!

This sound is exactly the plane!

The sound of dozens of planes flying together!

"Alarm! Alarm!" The soldier who first discovered it shouted loudly, and his voice resounded throughout the night sky.

He raised his gun and shot at the sky. The gunshot was very loud in the quiet night, breaking the silence of the night.

The air defense alarm resounded throughout Karnal.

There were even anti-aircraft machine guns shooting at the sky, and anti-aircraft missiles were launched!

At the anti-aircraft machine gun position, the soldiers woke up and operated the anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot at the sky.

"Da Da Da~~~Da Da Da~~~"

The anti-aircraft machine guns rang through the night sky, and the flames from the muzzles spewed out, and tracer bullets flew out continuously.

Among the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, there is a tracer bullet every three rounds, which is used to determine the trajectory.

At this moment, a J-6 fighter dived down.

The main weapon of the J-6 fighter is the aircraft gun, because it is a copy of the MiG-19, which is a front-line fighter with a very weak ground attack capability. The J-6 fighter also inherited this feature.

Later, it was improved and the aircraft was equipped with the PL-2 missile. However, the PL-2 cannot be mounted on the forward extension beam on the inner side of the wing, so an additional hanging point is added on the outside of the auxiliary fuel tank hanging point to mount the PL-2 missile. Of course, it can also mount 50~250 kg bombs, or use the inner wing hanging point to carry the UB-8-57 rocket launcher.

At this time, S-5K57mm rockets were launched one by one and flew towards the anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Boom~" rockets exploded at the machine gun position.     At the same time, J-7 fighters and J-H-7s attacked the Indian positions.

There was even a Tu-16 bomber that attacked the Indian positions.

Planes flew from the sky, and countless bombs fell on the Indian positions.

Bombs fell to the ground and exploded.

Some Indian soldiers were unlucky and were blown into meat paste in an instant, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

There were flames and screams everywhere.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns fired continuously, and anti-aircraft missiles were fired one after another.

Planes were constantly hit in the air, exploding in the air or falling down with thick smoke, and pilots jumped out urgently.

Some of these planes were painted with the Nepalese army logo, and some were painted with the Kazakh army logo.

Obviously, this was not the action of a single party, but a joint military action of both parties.

"Boom~~" A bomb hit a building, the whole building was destroyed, and the flames shot up into the sky, completely illuminating half of the sky.

At the Indian Army Division Command, the commander immediately reported to the General Command and requested air support.

Without air superiority, this battle could not be fought at all, and they were in a passive position.

The air defense positions also suffered heavy losses.

At the General Command in Delhi, the sleeping commander-in-chief 'Rajnath' was awakened immediately.

Rajnath, born in a Brahmin family, once studied in a British military academy, and then went to the United States Military Academy at West Point for further studies. He has experienced many wars and served as the commander of the mountain division. This time he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front and personally sat in Delhi.

Rajnath immediately ordered the Air Force to take off to support Karnar.

In modern military warfare, without air superiority, ground forces are in a passive position.

A newly formed division was urgently sent to support Karnar.

The importance of Karnar is self-evident and cannot be lost.

Once Karnar is lost, the Indian army will have to prepare for ground combat on the northwest front.

This is undoubtedly contrary to the strategy formulated at the beginning.

From the beginning, the strategy formulated by the Indian army was to implement a defensive strategy on the northwest, north, east and south lines, and an offensive strategy on the west line.

As long as Karnar is not lost, there will be no large-scale ground combat on the northwest line.

As soon as the war started, the Indian army laid minefields along the river to prevent the Kazakh and Nepalese armies from launching ground combat.

If it was just shooting and artillery battles across the river, we wouldn't be afraid of fighting for a long time.

But now there is a large-scale air strike, which is very unusual.

Rajnath was very worried that the Kazakh and Nepalese armies would launch ground attacks at all costs.

Rajnath deployed troops and made combat arrangements.

At this time, alarms sounded at five air force bases in Delhi, and then planes began to take off more than ten minutes later.

There are even Su-27 and MiG-29 here, although the number is not large.

Moreover, the air defense forces on the Delhi side are all on level one alert and are ready for air defense.

If enemy aircraft attack, they must be shot down.

The entire Delhi is even equipped with two battalions of S300 air defense missile systems, with a total of 8 launch units, 32 launch systems, and 384 S300 air defense missiles.
