Chapter 1043 Tank troops dispatched

It's just dawn and the sun hasn't come out yet.

On the other side of the East River in Gernal, the roar of diesel engines can be heard across the river.

The watchtower was discovered early.

"Report, the Qatari army has dispatched tanks and armored units!" The latest situation will be reported to the superiors as soon as possible.

There were even Indian soldiers holding anti-tank guns and aiming at tanks and armored vehicles on the other side of the river from hidden positions.

There were even Indian soldiers gloating about the misfortune.

There is a minefield here, with many anti-tank mines laid specifically to deal with tanks and armored vehicles.

Coupled with their anti-tank guns, anti-tank rocket launchers, and anti-tank missiles, as long as the tank and armored troops on the opposite side launch an attack, they will be a living target.

The Gernar Division Headquarters is undergoing deployment.

The air raid caused great trouble to Gernar. Thousands of people died in the air raid, and the power system and communication system were blown up.

No cell phones are available, only military walkie-talkies and radio communications can be used.

Satellite phones are too luxurious for the Indian army.

After all, the Indian army does not have communication satellites, so if it wants satellite phones, it can only buy them externally.

There are hundreds of frontline defense troops in the first line of defense, all in trenches and bunkers.

There are hundreds of people in the second line of defense, and almost a thousand people in the third line of defense.

There are three lines of defense in the entire Donghe Defense Line.

Similarly, the Xihe Line of Defense also has three lines of defense.

The artillery has artillery positions at the back and can provide artillery support at any time.

The defensive division has a full artillery brigade. As long as the opponent dares to launch an attack, it will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

The Kajun army has five steel behemoths at the front. They are much larger than the Type 59 tanks and have thick armor all over their bodies.

This is a demining vehicle. Its defensive armor is 1,500 mm thick, and its armor defense capability is stronger than that of the Type 80 main battle tank.

The demining truck is equipped with a powerful diesel engine. The demining truck is not fast and its function is to clear mines.

Naturally, the country of Kalistan has not failed to consider this aspect. It has long been studying how to break through and discover, and minefields have to be considered.

After all, anti-tank mines are too lethal to tanks, and other mines are also extremely damaging to soldiers.

In this battle, the Qatari army mobilized 200 tanks and 400 armored transport vehicles!

The demining truck was not very fast, but it still drove into the East River. The water was only one meter long, and the river bed here was made of stone. The diesel engine of the demining truck roared.

"Boom~~" An anti-tank shell hit the demining vehicle, but it did not break the armored defense of the demining vehicle at all.

The roller on the front of the demining vehicle triggered the mine and exploded.

The characteristic of the roller is that it is particularly resistant to explosions.

This kind of carpet demining is a powerful demining tool on the battlefield.

Apart from being slower and very fuel-consuming, demining vehicles have almost no shortcomings.

Landmines were detonated one after another along the way, and the demining vehicle placed two white iron pillars on both sides at a distance as a warning to indicate that this was a safe passage.

"Boom~~"

The Indian army carried an AT-4 anti-tank rocket launcher and aimed at the demining vehicle at the front. The rocket flew out towards the demining vehicle and hit the demining vehicle head-on.

There was an explosion, but the demining vehicle was fine and continued to move forward. The tanks following the demining vehicles were constantly aiming at the target and shelling, and the artillery positions at the rear provided artillery support.

The Indian artillery positions also launched artillery attacks on the Qatari armored forces.

"Boom boom boom~~"

A Type 59 tank was hit. An anti-tank gun hit the Type 59 tank, causing the Type 59 tank to be scrapped.

An armored personnel carrier was also hit and exploded.

The armor defense of the armored personnel carrier is not very strong.

But it still cannot delay the Qatari tank and armored forces.

The East River, which was more than 40 meters long, passed by in an instant.

The demining vehicle, a steel behemoth, was at the front. No matter whether it was anti-tank guns, anti-tank rockets or anti-tank missiles, it could not destroy the demining vehicle.

Wherever the demining vehicle passes, the rollers in front detonate mines one by one, creating a safe passage.

Even the trenches of the Indian army could not block the mine-clearing vehicles, because the shovels of the mine-clearing vehicles directly filled up the trenches in front.

The fighting between the two sides was very fierce.

The Indian army's three-way discovery, coupled with artillery, continued to block the Qatari army's tanks and armored forces.

They must delay the Qatari tank and armored forces, otherwise, the Afghan tanked and armored units will attack the city of Gernar.

"Boom~~" The Type 59 tank's muzzle turned and attacked the target.

The shell landed on a bunker and the entire bunker was blown up.

In the sky, an air battle was breaking out between aircraft from both sides.

The Indian Air Force aircraft had no chance to launch an attack on the tanks and armored units of the Qatari Army.

The battle situation was continuously reported back to the Delhi Northern Front Command. The commander-in-chief 'Rajnath' ordered a nearby armored division to support Gurnar. This armored division had 3 armored brigades, each armored brigade was organized. There are 2 tank regiments and 2 mechanized infantry battalions. Each tank regiment is equipped with 59 tanks, and each mechanized infantry battalion is equipped with 60 infantry fighting vehicles. The entire armored division has 354 tanks and 360 infantry fighting vehicles.

This tank division is equipped with T54/T55, T64, T69, T70, T72, T80 and other tanks.

The T72 tank is the world's first third-generation main battle tank. In addition to being used by the Soviet Union itself, this tank has also been exported to many countries. In the past, the T72 tanks exported by the Soviet Union were all castrated versions, but in recent years, many original T72 tanks have appeared on the international arms market.

Although both are T72 tanks, the original T72 tank is much stronger than the castrated version, and the performance of the two is not at the same level at all.

The T80 tank, developed on the basis of the T64 tank, is the first main battle tank in history to survive in batches with gas turbines as power. It is a third-generation main battle tank developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. The tank is equipped with a 985-horsepower gas turbine modified from an aviation gas turbine engine. The engine is small in size, high in power, fast in starting, light in weight, high in reliability, and easy to replace. The tank is equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm machine gun and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and is equipped with an automatic loader.

Similarly, in addition to the Soviet Union's own use, the T80 main battle tank was also exported to many countries. Of course, the exported versions at that time were also castrated versions.

The T72 main battle tanks and T80 main battle tanks of this armored division are castrated versions.

The armored division is only 20 kilometers away from Karnal. After receiving the order, it set out quickly to support Karnal.

The Indian army has a total of 4,000 tanks and 2,200 infantry fighting vehicles, which are accumulated by the Indian army's hard work over the years.

Although most tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are deployed on the western battlefield, a tank division is still retained on the northwest and northern lines. The eastern and southern lines are because there are few tanks and armored vehicles in eastern and southern India, so no tank divisions are reserved.

This armored division is considered to be relatively elite, specifically designed to deal with the tank armored forces of the Karnal Army and the Nepalese Army.

Moreover, the Indian Army is also equipped with a large number of anti-tank guns, anti-tank rockets and anti-tank missiles here.

Now that the Karnal Army and the Nepalese Army have deployed tank armored forces, this armored division will naturally be deployed.
