Dominate South Asia

Chapter 556: Air Strike

The Jamuna River is a large river in Bangladesh. It originates in China and is called the Brahmaputra River. It is called the Brahmaputra River when it enters Bangladesh. The Brahmaputra River turns 200 miles downstream from Guwahati and is called the Jamuna River. The Jamuna River flows from north to south and joins the Ganges near Goalondo. The river is 240 kilometers long, with many branches, sandbars and shoals, and the floodplain is 56-64 kilometers wide. The riverbed has a gentle slope, is 5-7 kilometers wide at low water level, and is more than 11 kilometers wide at flood level. It is a famous wandering river in the plains in the world. It has fast currents, a wide and shallow river body, intertwined Han channels, and dense shoals. It is also very difficult for Bangladesh to build a bridge on such a river. Therefore, in total, Bangladesh Only one bridge across the river was built.

As long as this bridge is blown up, the Indian armored forces that have entered Tangail will be in a situation without logistical support. Their gas turbine tanks will quickly consume all the fuel. Let's see what they do when the time comes. !

The A-7 attack plane continued to fly. Relying on the advanced navigation device, they quickly discovered the bridge despite coming a long way.

The airborne guidance device radiated a laser beam. After it reached the bridge, it was reflected back and received by the seeker of the laser-guided bomb. Then, the wings of the aircraft swayed, and the two bombs fell down.

In order to completely blow up the bridge so that it could not be repaired by the Indian engineering troops, two A-7s dropped all four bombs.

The pilot counted down in his mind, ten, nine... When he counted to zero, there was a huge explosion below.

"Boom!" The 900-kilogram laser-guided bomb accurately landed on the bridge deck, followed by a huge explosion. The bridge piers below were blown up, and the connecting bridge deck of more than 20 meters was completely destroyed.

"Boom!" Another bomb exploded, and another section of the bridge was destroyed.

When all four bombs exploded, the entire bridge was blown into several sections. If it wanted to recover, even engineers would have to repair it for more than half a month!

Two A-7 attack planes pulled up. Flying towards Chittagong, when they land, they will remount the Maverick missiles and prepare to attack the Indian armored forces tomorrow.

At the same time, the Pakistan Air Force's Tomcat fighters and the rest of the A-7 attack aircraft also flew to Zharul-ul-Haq Air Force Base. Their arrival meant that Pakistan had joined the war!

Dhaka International Airport.

Flights have been grounded. In fact, due to Bangladesh's backward economy, there are not many flights. There are only two shifts at night.

The airport was brightly lit, and President Ershad stood on the runway, watching the C-130 planes landing one after another.

The rear cabin door opens. A light wheeled infantry fighting vehicle drove out from inside. The fully armed Pakistani soldiers had a determined expression on their faces. Just looking at the momentum of this unit, they were elites who had fought in hundreds of battles.

"President Ershad, we have been ordered to come to support." Colonel Yoder, the commander of Force A, said to Ershad.

"Thank you very much for your support." Ershad said: "Don't you have heavy armored troops?"

Coming off the plane. They are all lightweight equipment, including the M551 tank. Although the barrel looks thick enough, it is too short and small in size.

Can the Indian army be defeated without main battle tanks? You know, the Indian army is equipped with M1 tanks imported from the United States!

"Mr. President, please rest assured. We will definitely stop the Indian troops west of Tungi and will not let them invade Dhaka." Colonel Yoder said: "No matter what the cost, we will complete the mission and protect the Our brotherly country.”

When Youd said this, Ershad was really moved. How did he know that this quick reaction force was coming. The main task is not to fight, but to collect loot!

At this moment, Ranade hurried over and said to Ershad: "Mr. President, we just received a report that our Jamuna River bridge was blown up five minutes ago."

Jamuna River Bridge destroyed? Ershad's expression suddenly changed: "We spent a huge amount of money to build that, who did it?"

It seems that which bridge is more useful to India? Indians probably wouldn’t do this, so who are they?

Ershad turned back and looked at Yod. The expression on Yod's face was very resolute, and he only said one sentence to Ershad: "Mr. President, now is a war!"

war! War has to pay a price. It's just a bridge. Compared with the subjugation of the country, what is a bridge?

After saying that, Yoder returned to his wheeled chariot. The troops had been assembled and left the airport one by one.

"What? The bridge was bombed?" After receiving the news, the expression of the commander of the Indian armored division suddenly changed.

He found that he had made a mistake, leaving only a small number of mechanized infantry to guard the bridge to prevent it from being destroyed by ground personnel, but there was no air defense force left!

However, there was no point in staying behind. What accompanied his armored troops forward was only self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. In actual combat, the effectiveness of anti-aircraft guns was far inferior to that of anti-aircraft missiles.

Did the Bengalis themselves do it? Probably not. Their air force is very weak. It's night again. If they want to blow up the bridge, they only need a few planes. They don't know how many sorties they have to fly before they can blow up the bridge!

If they are not Bangladeshis, then they must be foreign forces. Could it be Pakistan? Thinking of Pakistan, the commander of the armored division became even more anxious: "Order, gather all the fuel and add it to the M1 tanks, and move forward overnight!"

The fuel was not completely consumed. Other accompanying vehicles still had some fuel left. Although the M1 engine uses an aviation gas turbine, it is not picky. In addition to the commonly used No. 1 and No. 2 diesel and No. 4 and No. 5 jet fuels, it can even use gasoline and kerosene when needed. If you need to change the fuel, just turn the dial in the cab according to the specific gravity of the fuel, which is very convenient to operate.

Now, the commander of the armored division is preparing for the worst. Once the fuel supply cannot be delivered on time, then he needs to gather the most powerful force of the entire division, that is, the tanks, and charge towards Dhaka. As long as these powerful American tanks go there, they will definitely scare away the head of the Bangladeshi government, and their army will not have strong resistance.

Even if Pakistan dispatched ground troops, it would take several days to arrive here. By then, they would have occupied the capital of Bangladesh and would be invincible.

All the soldiers were preparing in a hurry, sucking out the oil from other vehicles and loading it into the tanks to fuel the tanks. Some smart soldiers also quietly kept some in case of an emergency.

When the sky was light, the preparations were finally completed. After gathering the fuel from other vehicles, they finally had enough fuel for their tanks and could continue to drive and arrive directly in Dhaka!

However, at this time, the roar of the plane came from the sky, and Pakistan's A-7 attack aircraft arrived again!

The A-7 attack aircraft was equipped with Maverick missiles specially used to attack ground armored targets. The pilot looked at the Indian armored vehicles on the ground with excitement in his eyes.

It's time to slaughter the Indians again!

If it was just a ground force confrontation, those M1 tanks might play a considerable role, but now, when the special ground attack aircraft arrived, the ground forces could only be slaughtered.

When the commander of the Indian armored division found that the Pakistani attack aircraft flew overhead, his face was filled with despair. He suddenly woke up. The bridge was bombed last night. The Pakistanis did not attack their logistics supply at all, but just blocked their retreat!

"Retreat, retreat to the city of Tangail immediately!" The commander of the armored division shouted on the radio. Although there were anti-aircraft artillery units under the division, it was a drop in the bucket to deal with the aircraft overhead. They had to retreat to the city of Tangail first. In the densely populated urban area, the opponent's air force should attack less, and they had to face the risk of accidental attacks.

However, there was a noisy hissing sound of electric current in the headset, and the radio had been interfered!

In the eastern area of ​​Tangail, which was undefended, the Indian armored division ushered in another unforgettable experience.

A Maverick missile, dragging a tongue of fire, flew down from the wing. The target was obviously the M1 tank that was retreating. At this time, black smoke came out from the side of the tank, and the engine had burst out with the maximum power, dragging the steel monster to retreat.

"Boom!" The composite armored M1 tank did not block the top attack of the Maverick missile. The missile pierced from the top of the turret, penetrated the weak top armor, and the metal heat flow entered the interior of the tank.

"Boom!" With a violent explosion, the tank stopped with thick smoke.

Obviously, the first round of Maverick missiles were aimed at those high-value M1 tanks. This made Colonel Youde of the A unit who had just arrived in the war zone and was observing the battlefield with a telescope shake his head: "Damn it, we can't blow them all up. The president has told us to clean up the battlefield. Those M1 tanks should be ours!"

That was an advanced American tank! Colonel Youde was very jealous. Seeing one M1 tank after another being hit and smoking, he felt as distressed as if it was his equipment that was destroyed.

"Gah." An M1 tank stopped, and the armored soldier inside opened the hatch and ran to a mound in the distance without looking back, ready to hide there.

In the intense air raid, he was still able to find that the attack planes above his head were attacking their tanks that were still in action! Their tanks could not withstand the attack of missiles, so he could only escape first! (To be continued ~^~)
