Dominate South Asia

The port, military airport, and barracks of Visakhapatnam were attacked by Pakistan's carrier-based aviation. When the bombs fell from the sky, the sleeping Indian soldiers found themselves trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

Although the Pakistani army crossed the border and occupied Kolkata a few days ago, Kolkata is 600 to 700 kilometers away from Visakhapatnam. If Pakistan wants to attack Visakhapatnam, it must at least gradually advance the armored forces on land, so that it will definitely be discovered by the defenders along the way.

They would never have thought that Pakistan would use the navy to attack here.

How is this possible? Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that it seems very grand to control the land with the sea, but in fact, it is too difficult to occupy a city by relying on the navy!

The navy has advantages in arms, but the real battle still depends on land battles. It is impossible to quickly establish positions, let alone defend positions, relying solely on the troop projection capabilities of the navy's ships.

Like more than a decade ago, the British army, which had crossed half the globe, successfully took back their Falkland Islands. It mobilized almost all British merchant ships, even cruise ships were requisitioned, and swimming pools were welded as flight decks for helicopter takeoffs and landings. It was almost the whole country's efforts that maintained the dignity of the former British Empire.

Now, Pakistan has not carried out any war mobilization. With just a few landing ships, it wants to occupy Visakhapatnam? It's just a fool's dream!

Therefore, the army in Visakhapatnam did not take any precautions. Although the notification from the United States had arrived and the Pakistani naval formation had sailed to a very dangerous distance, when the news reached the headquarters. It was already off work, and the only officer on duty stuffed the news into a pile of documents.

Now, Pakistan's carrier-based aircraft took off and kept throwing bombs over their heads. They woke up from their dreams and realized that the war had begun!

Under Pakistan's bombardment, Visakhapatnam's coastal positions and fortifications. All turned into ruins.

Four large landing ships, with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, continued to move forward when their own air force turned the other side into a sea of ​​fire, and came to the shallows a few miles from the coastline.

A large door opened at the front bow of the landing ship, and tanks and armored vehicles drove out.

They drove directly into the river and floated up. Relying on water propellers, they sailed towards the shore.

The armored vehicles are all wheeled armored vehicles produced by Pakistan itself, which have the ability to sail on water. This was taken into consideration during the design.

Due to the sealing problem, when sailing on the water, the inside of the armored vehicle will slightly infiltrate seawater, but at the same time, a drainage pump at the bottom is constantly pumping out seawater. The armored vehicle with sufficient reserve buoyancy is advancing towards the shore at a speed of 14 nautical miles per hour.

In the body of the vehicle, soldiers holding rifles are waiting for the battle to land.

At the beginning, when the Normandy landings took place, most of the personnel could only walk in waist-deep water and walk ashore. Many people died on the beachheads within a few miles.

Now, the advancement of equipment has made amphibious landing operations easier. Amphibious vehicles can be used directly to load soldiers and rush ashore!

In addition to wheeled armored vehicles, there are also big-bellied tanks. These are 63A amphibious tanks introduced from China.

It is almost impossible to make heavy tanks float from the sea, so. This type of tank has a very light weight of only more than 20 tons. At the same time, the tank body is very large to generate enough buoyancy.

Compared with main battle tanks, its protection performance may be one order of magnitude worse, but compared with wheeled armored vehicles, its combat effectiveness is even stronger!

In the prismatic welded turret, the tank driver aimed at the fortifications on the shore through an infrared imaging sight.

"Boom!" The amphibious tank in sailing suddenly made a roar, a ball of flame appeared at the muzzle, and a 105mm grenade flew over.

Being able to fire while sailing on the water is the biggest advantage of this tank!

"Boom!" The grenade flew forward for several kilometers and accurately hit a sentry post on the shore. The reinforced concrete sentry post flew up like this.

In a mighty and wide offensive surface, the Pakistani Marine Corps was carrying out the task of crossing.

At this time, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and another formation joined from the sea in the north.

This formation is not large, only two or three ships, but the large warship in the middle is particularly interesting, because it is also an aircraft carrier with decks on the top!

The Indian aircraft carrier Viraat! This proud aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy, and also the warship with the largest displacement of the Indian Navy, has been captured by Pakistan in Kolkata.

Pakistan did not carry those fancy vertical take-off and landing Sea Harrier fighter jets, which were just useless. At this moment, the deck of this warship was full of the army's armed helicopters!

Although the displacement of this warship has reached 30,000 tons, it has no catapult and a leaping deck. The Pakistani Navy lacks the ability to take off and land on the leaping deck, and has no intention of using this warship as an aircraft carrier for fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. Now, this aircraft carrier has another use, which is an amphibious assault ship!

Dozens of Pakistani armed helicopters were loaded from Kolkata and transported here directly to participate in the battle of Visakhapatnam.

With the buzzing sound, one armed helicopter after another began to take off and fly towards the shore. Their arrival will give strong support to the landing troops.

The sky belongs to Pakistan. With air supremacy, armed helicopters can calmly support ground operations!

However, the landing force at this time is only a few thousand people. If only these people are relied on to capture Visakhapatnam, it seems to be less effective, especially after the Indians found that even this important port was captured by Pakistan, the Indians will definitely counterattack in a big way.

Only when the heavy troops arrive can this army be completely and firmly controlled!

Enter from land? The heavy troops traveled hundreds of kilometers, all of which were Indian territory. Even the invincible Muhammad would not have formulated such a combat plan.

However, Pakistan's heavy troops were still able to arrive in time, because Pakistan had an equipment that made Americans envious, a ground-effect wing aircraft nicknamed the Caspian Monster!

After Muhammad's arrangement, Shostakovich obtained the design drawings of the Caspian Monster from the Soviet Union and hired some of the Soviet scientists. After all, during the economic transformation of the Soviet Union, this kind of military product with no special value had been cut off. These people came to Pakistan with their love for model development and started new development.

Pakistan's industrial base may not be as good as that of the Soviet Union, but Pakistan's industrial potential is very huge, and it can obtain various advanced technologies from the Western world, so the progress of this project is very rapid.

At this time, these large monsters in the Kolkata Port that look like airplanes and stay in the sea are loading soldiers and main battle tanks.

These ground effect wing aircraft are the ultimate version of the Caspian monster imitated by Pakistan. The large ground effect wing aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 700 tons is more than 100 meters long. In the spacious cabin in the middle, eight Pakistani-produced Type 90 or Leopard 2 main battle tanks can be stuffed in. In front, there are eight TF41 turbofan engines. The powerful airflow generated by the turbofan engine forms a dynamic air cushion under the wing to enhance the ground effect. This is the core technology of this ground effect wing of the Soviet Union, the power lift technology!

The air cushion generated by these turbofan engines allows this aircraft similar to the ship's load to reach the speed of the aircraft! With a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, it can reach Visakhapatnam within an hour!

At this time, four such Caspian monsters are loading the most powerful tank units of the Pakistani Army. Four, one wave, can transport more than 30 main battle tanks! And two hours a round trip, plus the time for loading and unloading, this day can run at least four times and transport more than 100 main battle tanks!

More than 100 main battle tanks, the size of a tank brigade! If it relies on transport planes, one sortie can only transport two main battle tanks at most! For the Gulf War, the United States transported heavy equipment from the distant United States and Europe by ship for a month.

"Loading is completed, you can take off!" The driver heard the captain's voice in the cockpit in front.

"Received." The driver turned on various switches in front of him. In the harsh sound, the eight TF-41 turbofan engines in front roared, and the tail sprayed air. The entire aircraft began to accelerate forward on the sea.

After a few dozen seconds, I only felt that the entire aircraft was lighter and had automatically left the sea! After leaving the resistance of the water, the speed of this aircraft began to increase continuously, and soon reached a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, almost sticking to the sea surface, and started at lightning speed.

In the cabin, the fully armed Pakistani armored forces were resting with their eyes closed, and the tanks that were firmly fixed were also shaking slightly with the fuselage.

The battle on the front line has begun. Their deployment will bring the greatest blow to the Indian defenders! (To be continued ~^~)
