Dominate South Asia

"We must end this large-scale conflict as soon as possible." At this moment, CIA Director William, who had been silent, spoke: "We have obtained accurate intelligence. This Soviet military operation is not just about ending northern Afghanistan. The split of the regime also wants to open the outlet of the Indian Ocean.”

Open the outlet of the Indian Ocean!

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in the first place to open a passage to the south, which the United States would never allow. Nearby are the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, which are the main guarantee for the stability of the U.S. economy. The United States will never let the Soviet Union grab its throat.

"Is the intelligence confirmed?" President Reagan opened his eyes wide.

"It was formulated by Marshal Akhromeev of the Soviet Union himself. He is now directing the war in Afghanistan." William said: "Moscow has put a lot of pressure on him. After Gorbachev came to power, he hopes to reap the benefits as soon as possible. The fruits of war in Afghanistan.”

Soviet intelligence was very difficult to obtain. This information was obtained only after sacrificing several outstanding intelligence personnel, including local Afghan intelligence personnel, who entered the Soviet base camp in Kabul. This information.

The intelligence was true, but they didn't know that it was actually formulated by Marshal Akhromeev when the Soviet Union first invaded Afghanistan. They thought it was the next step of the Soviet Union's upcoming strategy.

"Is it because the Pakistan Army has not been dispatched for a long time because it is afraid that the Soviets will invade from behind during the battle with the Indian Army?" Weinberg also realized the seriousness.

"Yes, our last test of Patriot missiles temporarily scared the Soviets, but if the Soviets insist on having their own way, their rocket launchers and surface-to-surface missiles will easily destroy Pakistan's military bases. Under attack from both sides, , Pakistan might really perish," William said.

"It seems that we must fully support Pakistan." Reagan took another puff of cigar and said: "Agree to this military aid to Pakistan, and also contact China to contain India from the north. Let the Indians know that to their north, There are bigger threats.”

"Also, it's time for us to meet with Gorbachev. The Soviet Union has suffered from famine for several years and there is not enough food to eat. We should ask Gorbachev whether he wants cheese or missiles!"

Reagan thrust his cigar into the ashtray nearby. It was like poking Gorbachev in the anus.

The Soviets, their stomachs full, actually wanted to take over Afghanistan. Opening the Indian Ocean channel, is the struggle for hegemony more important to them than their stomach?

This is not the time for World War II. Moscow residents can only get one or two pieces of bread every day, and they have to support the front line even if they are hungry. It is time for the great Soviet people to wake up. Aren’t they also clamoring for reform? If you want bread, give up force!

"We should continue to advance the negotiations on the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Put pressure on the Soviet Union." Reagan continued.

Intermediate missiles are medium-range missiles, including short- and medium-range missiles with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers. These missiles are deployed at forward bases and can use conventional warheads. They are the first round of strikes. strength. The Oka missile used by the Soviet Union last time belonged to this type. And negotiations on the destruction of these missiles. It started in 1981. Progress had been slow at the time.

Now, it's time to put pressure on Gorbachev!

Islamabad.

"President, the United States has agreed to provide military assistance to us." Mushaaf said to Mhamad: "The air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles we applied for will gradually arrive at our army."

The United States finally agreed! Two billion dollars. It’s enough for Pakistan to fight this war! This proves that our side stopped operations for two days. It's totally worth it!

In particular, when those new missiles are shipped and added to Pakistan's arsenal, Pakistan's certainty of victory will become even greater!

"Okay, then we should take action now! This first step is the Indian armored forces!"

The Indians actually dared to drive tanks into Pakistani territory, and instead of coming from the plains and deserts in the middle, they walked through the swamps in the south. It was simply a stupid act to seek death! The armored force can come over, but what about the logistics? Modern warfare is all about logistical support!

The 18th Infantry Division used its own flesh and blood to block the Indus River, laying the foundation for its own strategic outflanking. Now, it is finally time to eliminate them!

"Order, all A-7 attack aircraft, mount Maverick missiles, prepare to eliminate the Indians from the air! Send twenty Tomcat fighters over, commanded by Rick, to defend the air superiority over the battlefield. If the Indian Air Force dares to come, completely Destroy them!"

The air battle with the Soviet Union has come to an end. In the past few days, the Soviets have not continued to mobilize air power. There have not been many exchanges of fire between the two sides. They mobilized twenty Tomcats to go over and compete with Rick's Ten and thirty Tomcats. Coupled with twenty F-16 fighters, we can completely protect our own air supremacy!

After these days of preparation, Pakistan’s counterattack has finally begun!

"Finally here!" Looking at the plains in front of him, Shiv Sharma, commander of the 31st Armored Division, opened the hatch of the T-72 tank and looked at the plains in the distance, sighing in his heart.

Last night, he gathered all the tanks, collected enough fuel, and headed north, bypassing Hyderabad and seizing a local bridge in the small northern city of Hara.

Although they had gone around for hundreds of kilometers, they finally came here and crossed the damn Indus River. Now, they should go straight to Karachi!

"Victory belongs to our great India! Belongs to our 31st Armored Division!" Schiff said on the radio: "Now, I order to defeat the 18th Infantry Division of Pakistan, and then advance to Karachi and completely occupy Karachi!"

The failure at sea has made the Indian military unable to raise their heads in front of the whole world. They need victory too much! Their armored forces were blocked on the other side of the river by an infantry division for so long. Now, they need to completely strangle that infantry division!

At this time, the sun had just risen.

The sun shone on the plains, and the armored forces advanced along the fields. Irrigated by the Indus River, there were fertile soils and good fields everywhere, and the Indian tanks directly rolled over these fields, just like rolling over the body of Pakistan. A refreshing feeling rose from the hearts of the Indian armored soldiers.

At off-road speed, if they advance for an hour, they will reach the defense line of the 18th Division. They will be like a knife directly inserted into the back of the 18th Division! Shiv seemed to have seen his armored forces crushing the Pakistani infantry division into meat paste.

Against the armored forces, the infantry division will only be slaughtered!

Unfortunately, they were still too late.

When the roar of fighter planes came from the sky, accompanied by the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the armored forces, they stopped first, and the radar of Shile River began to rotate, looking for the direction of the threat.

Just one minute after the radar was turned on, an anti-radiation missile shot from the sky, smashing the gun-aiming radar of Shile River into pieces, and then another Maverick missile following behind penetrated Shile River from the top and exploded inside.

"Boom!" The destruction of Shile River was just the beginning.

Countless A-7 fighters appeared from the sky, and under the wings on both sides, Maverick ground-to-ground missiles were mounted, which were specially used to deal with Indian tanks.

As for the infantry fighting vehicles with weaker armor, there is no need to waste missiles. The 20mm machine guns, shooting down from the sky, are enough to penetrate the armor of the BMP. Only one 20mm incendiary bomb is enough to kill a tank.

After the A-7 raged for more than 20 minutes, the entire battlefield had become a hell on earth. A large number of destroyed tanks were still burning, and the T-72s that exploded and the turrets that were blown off were everywhere.

The Indian armored soldiers jumped out of their armored vehicles. They had found that they had no room to fight back in front of the air strike force.

The 18th Infantry Division had surrounded them from the side, blocking their way forward. They either retreated or raised their hands and surrendered.

On this side of the river, the 33rd Armored Division was also facing air strikes, and they found the Pakistani armored forces behind them!

The two armored brigades of the 5th Army in Karachi made a detour and blocked their retreat. Now, their task is to keep an eye on the Indian armored forces and not let them withdraw.

The Type 59 tanks rumbled. Since there were too many Indian armored divisions scattered across a large plain, the A-7 attack aircraft in the sky combed the ground back and forth like a comb. There were still many Indian armored vehicles that were not affected. In order to avoid the attack, they began to retreat desperately.

In front of them was the Pakistani armored forces. When the Indian armored soldiers saw the round turret tanks on the opposite side through the sight, they did not take it seriously.

The T-72 tanks on their side used 125mm artillery, which could easily penetrate them at a distance of 1,000 meters! And the opponents, these old Type 59 tanks, had to be at least 800 meters away to shoot accurately.

The aiming system of the 59 tank is still manual. Whether it can hit the target depends entirely on the experience of the commander and the gunner. When shooting, they must stop. The performance is not as good as the T-55 in the Indian army.

However, when the tanks on the opposite side in the sight are getting closer and closer, the Indian tankers are wondering, there seems to be something wrong with the tanks on the opposite side? The gun barrel is a bit disproportionate to the body.

"Boom!" At this moment, the tank on the opposite side opened fire, at a distance of 1,500 meters! Moreover, the opponent did not stop when firing! (To be continued ~^~)
