However, the advantages of individual gun caliber cannot offset the overall disadvantage.

Originally, the resolution of the Third India-Pakistan War was a painful memory for Pakistan. East Pakistan was divided and became a puppet built by India - Bangladesh.

This is caused by the gap in national strength. There is no doubt that compared with India, Pakistan and its comprehensive national strength and military strength are clearly at a disadvantage.

This also shows why Pakistan has always been on a strategic defensive position in Kashmir and does not dare to take the initiative. It has nothing to do with wisdom and is due to strength.

Small countries always have the helplessness of small countries. Facing a bad neighbor, Pakistan is not having a good life.

Just from the military force invested in Kashmir this time, Pakistan is at a disadvantage in terms of the comparison of the army's forces and the overall number of combat aircraft.

The number of armored vehicles seems to be small, but the tanks equipped by Pakistan are still mainly old and outdated tanks, and most of them are the "Coyote i" and "Coyote i" eliminated by the Chinese Federal Army in the early World War II.

In terms of the number and performance of advanced main battle tanks, Pakistan cannot compare with India's "Arjun" style and the m60 main battle tanks purchased from the United States.

Pakistan's only advantage lies in its large-caliber artillery. In terms of the number and performance of the artillery, it has a clear advantage compared with the Indian Army, especially its 203mm large-caliber artillery that India does not currently own.

The m60 tank is a second-generation main battle tank developed based on the first-generation US tank m48a2. It began to be developed in 1956. The development code is xm60.

By March 1959, the m60 tank was finally finalized, and the first production contract was signed in June of the same year, and it was manufactured by Chrysler's Delaware Defense Factory.

Since 1960, the m60 tank was changed to be produced at the company's Detroit tank factory. The tank was included in the US military equipment in 1960. Compared with the first generation of m48a2 tanks, it mainly uses new 105mm artillery, improved fire control system and diesel engines, which have enhanced firepower and greatly improved the maximum range.

Although the overall strength is still not as good as the "Tiger" main battle tanks of the Chinese Federal Army, when facing the first generation of "Coyote" series main battle tanks produced in China, the combat power is completely superior to it, which is overwhelmingly powerful.

The m60 tank adopts a new cast streamlined turret, with better bulletproof angle at the front. The protection capability is improved. The loader is located on the left side of the turret, the vehicle cap is in the center, and the gun cap is on the right side. The loader and the gun cap are both equipped with periscopes on the single hatch cover.

Compared with the first-generation tanks that were "short-made", the m60 has also made much better structure and layout than the first-generation tanks thanks to technological progress and accumulation of design experience.

Taking the m60 command tower as an example, it is equipped with 10 circumferential observation mirrors around it, and there is a 12.7mmmm85 anti-aircraft machine gun on the tower. Because the command tower of the command tower can rotate 360° electric.

Moreover, the turret has a separate and stable structure, so the machine gun can effectively deal with aircraft and helicopters.

There are 4 smoke screen grenade launchers on both sides of the turret, each of which is equipped with one grenade. There is also 1 m34 yellow phosphorus smoke bomb and 1 anm8hc smoke bomb.

Based on the above situation, in terms of the army, although Pakistan is at a disadvantage, the overall gap between ground troops is not a big deal. In addition to the support of China's three new mechanized infantry divisions equipped with strong mechas, the outcome of this battle is still unknown.

However, considering the gap in air force, Pakistan and India are obviously not on the same level, which is undoubtedly quite unfavorable for the battle for air supremacy in the theater.

You should know that if modern warfare cannot seize air supremacy, the ground battlefield will also be in a passive situation of being beaten.

Even if the combat power of the raid mecha is above ordinary ground forces, it is powerless to face the high-hanging air force fighter jets.

In view of such a special situation, after receiving the distribution of troops from India sent back by the CIA, the Chinese Federal Ministry of Defense immediately decided to send an emergency air defense division to Pakistan as reinforcements.

This prevention and control engineer is equipped with the newly developed self-propelled air defense missile armored vehicle by Chenshi Heavy Industry, which is available in wheeled and crawlers, which correspond to different terrain and tactical needs.

In addition to strengthening Pakistan's passive air defense capabilities on ground military units, Ye Yiwei also personally ordered to secretly invest 45 improved second-generation jet fighters in Kashmir to help the Pakistani army resist advanced fighters purchased by India from the United States.

Although less than 50 Flying Eagle fighters have been put into the battlefield, the number is less than half that of India.

However, the actual combat performance of these so-called second-generation jet fighters in India is greatly reduced compared to the original and authentic American products.

Because when the United States sold these fighter jets, it only sold the fighter jets' bodies, including the engines, and the original Russian electronic equipment and weapon systems loaded on the aircraft were not sold to India.

India can only load British electronic equipment and French weapon systems on American-style fighter jets. The compatibility between the subsystems in the fighter jets is very worrying.

Speaking of this, I have to be ignorant of the "Wanguo Brand" weapon development model that Indians have always had. I bought all the best ones and then pieced them together without considering the applicability and targeting of the weapons at all.

Some seemingly good weapon components, but after all, are not weapons subsystems built based on the sexual energy of fighter jets, making it difficult to exert the advantageous performance of the fighter jet itself.

So much so that these second-generation jet fighters of the Indian Air Force have a very different combat capabilities than those of the original similar fighters of the United States, let alone compared to China's improved Flying Eagle fighters.

Moreover, it is necessary to consider that the Indian Air Force uses fewer early warning aircraft to coordinate combat command between fighter teams, the performance of the US airborne radar is no less than similar products from the Chinese Federation.

What's more, India does not have its own military satellites. After considering this, the senior military leaders of the Chinese Federation also believe that sending a small number of advanced fighter jets is enough to influence the situation.

If it is sent too large, it is not easy to explain to the international community. It is better not to do that kind of obvious strait.

Anyway, thanks to the advanced performance of the Flying Eagle fighter and its larger combat radius, Pakistan can fight against India in terms of air-control fighters.

Including the ground air defense forces, it can be foreseen that Pakistan can still gain a considerable advantage in the competition for air supremacy.

In early March, after being incorporated into Pakistan's combat sequence, three army armored divisions from China also began to prepare tactical matters, including investigations on the terrain and climate environment.

At the same time, soldiers are also required to try to adapt to the local climate and life. If they feel uncomfortable, they must immediately withdraw from the battle sequence and return to their country to cultivate.

Even if they are now entering Pakistan in the name of the Volunteer Army, the top leaders of the Chinese Federal Army do not want to suffer non-combat reductions due to disagreement in the environment.

On the other hand, after the field investigation, given that the terrain of Kashmir is mainly mountainous, large-scale armored cluster assaults are impossible. Only in the valleys of the upper Indus River, where the terrain is flat and open, can there be a large-scale use of armored forces.

India is also very clear about this. Therefore, Pakistan has placed almost all its armored forces here, including tank troops from China. It plans to wait for the arrival of the Indian armored assault cluster. Then a head-on battle can be held.

However, the mecha troops of the Chinese Federation are planning to use the Kashmir region as the main battlefield, which is also a breakthrough on land. From there, they can directly attack India's hinterland and launch a fatal blow to the enemy's rear.

In addition to the mysterious attack mecha troops, the three mechanized infantry divisions invested by Hualian were mainly equipped with "all-terrain" combat vehicles, which are a type of light armored infantry combat vehicles, and also self-propelled artillery.

No soldier needs to walk, all of them are mechanized troops with good mobility. Although they are still affected by the complex terrain of mountainous areas, they can still be used as strategic mobile forces based on simple road systems.

Especially equipped with weapons such as raid mechas, it has an advantage over India in frontal combat on complex terrain.

Because India will not place too many armored vehicles and tanks in the rugged east of the mountain road, but will concentrate in the upper valley of the Indus River in the south.

This also means that the attacking mecha only faces a group of infantry units, and some so-called fixed firepower points. Heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns cannot threaten the mecha's solid defense at all, and the hit rate of large-caliber artillery cannot pose much threat to the flexible mecha.

It can be foreseeable that the greatest victory will be achieved by implementing breakthroughs in this direction.

In areas with relatively flat terrain, military deployment must be strengthened, especially those of India's most likely directions to launch assaults.

After the advice of the Chinese National Affairs Consultant, Pakistan has also deployed a large number of large-caliber artillery and anti-tank guns in the plains, and even many small anti-tank missiles from the ground. In terms of strategic configuration, it takes into account the needs of depth and uses flexible gradual defensive operations as much as possible to kill and injure the Indian army's live forces.

Especially India's more powerful armored troops, the reputation of the world's fourth largest continental army is still very scary.

In general, it is to use the large depth to lengthen the supply line of the Indian army, and at the same time it is also to induce the opponent to divide the troops one after another, while the one side continues to consolidate its military strength, forming a situation where the more they fight, the less they fight.

Such a defensive strategy requires fighting and retreating in the early stages, and always pay attention to avoiding a decisive battle with the main force of the Indian army. Instead, based on various strategic points, the overall defense line will gradually shrink to lure the enemy into depth.

During the movement, the terrain and prepared fortifications were used to delay the enemy's actions and consume the enemy's vitality. The final battlefield was the valley located in the upper reaches of the Indus River, where the main force of Pakistan's armored forces would fight with the Indian army.

After the front line is lengthened, you can also send small groups of troops to harass the Indian army's logistics supplies and force the enemy to divide their troops to garrison. Once the troops are dispersed to a certain extent, it is the time for Pakistan to fight the Indian army to a decisive battle.

On the other hand, the attacking mecha troops were led by a regiment of Pakistani troops, crossing the mountainous groups in Kashmir region, and attacking the Indian-controlled Kashmir region through a small path, directly cutting off the opponent's retreat.

However, all of this must be based on the control of air supremacy. Modern warfare, no matter how skillful the attacks on the ground or the defense strategy are, if the battle for air supremacy fails, then everything will be undoubtedly true.

Therefore, in order to effectively grasp air supremacy, China has also put a lot of effort into it.

Considering its own advantages and disadvantages, China's military adviser also suggested that Pakistan should not engage in large-scale battles with the enemy's air force, but should rely on its own powerful ground air defense forces to carry out local defense.

Deport the air force and ground air defense forces on strategic ground instead of blindly competing with the Indian army for air supremacy throughout the war zone, and strive to gain air superiority in local battlefields.

In the early stages of the war, for the defense of several strategic points, it can be determined based on actual conditions. Whether several anti-assault battles are needed can be carried out, which can effectively kill and damage the Indian army's vitality. It can also disrupt the Indian army's strategic deployment and frontal offensive to a certain extent, creating favorable conditions for the final armored cluster battle.

The Fifth Army of Kashmir National Defense, which is the main force participating in the war from China, will undertake the anti-assault mission and use the excellent maneuverability and flexible tactical capabilities of the raid mecha. Find favorable fighter jets in order to annihilate the small troops that were separated from the cluster and penetrated deep into the small army.

However, all combat operations must implement the overall strategic policy, and it is not allowed to privately expand the scale of strikes in order to achieve results.

India is eyeing it, and Pakistan is waiting for it.

The Chinese Federation also secretly intervened in this Kashmir War, with the help of satellites. In addition to the pervasive intelligence infiltration, China is well aware of India's military deployment.

"The Art of War" says: Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be defeated by a hundred battles.

But before the war began, India had already lost.

Three countries gathered more than one million troops in Kashmir, and the Third India-Pakistan War is about to break out.

But until May, both sides were still waiting silently. In order not to bear the charges of the war provokers and not to fall into passive international politics, even India, which is arrogant, needs a reasonable excuse.

This excuse came soon, and to everyone's surprise, it also disrupted the military deployment of the Chinese Federation in the Kashmir region.

On May 29, 1970, large-scale unrest occurred in East Pakistan, Bangladesh. The leader of the East Pakistan People's League was arrested in April, and then a large-scale demonstration with the slogans of "**" and "autonomousness".

Eventually, a regional rebellion was triggered.

The outbreak of this incident immediately changed the eyes of China, India and Pakistan. China and Pakistan were full of sorrow, while India was ecstatic!

The rebellion in Bangladesh will give India the opportunity to intervene in this region, dismantle Pakistan's restraint on India, and also achieve the goal of threatening China's southwest by establishing a pro-Indian government in Bangladesh.

Due to some historical reasons, the Bangladesh region also had many dissatisfaction with the Pakistani government. Later, the central government, economic and military power were basically controlled by Siba landlords and the bourgeoisie, and the Dongba people were almost in powerless positions.

With the development of the entire Dongba economy, the Dongba bourgeoisie is increasingly dissatisfied with this situation.

By 1966, Mujib Rahman, a representative of the emerging bourgeoisie in East Pakistan, proposed a six-point autonomy program. By the beginning of this year, with the secret support of the American Illuminati and the Indian government, East Pakistan further launched a large-scale "non-cooperation movement" and raised the banner of "Bangladesh".

On March 26, Pakistani President Yehaiya Khan announced the abolition of the People's Alliance, a leading party in East Pakistan, and arrested the President of the People's Alliance, Sheikh Mujib Rahman and other leaders.

I thought that this was a smokescreen emitted by India, and Pakistan always focused on the Kashmir region. According to the information obtained from the Chinese Federation, India's target is indeed Kashmir.

But no one expected that the "Bangladesh People's Liberation Army" in the region would be so radical and launch a mutiny.

This also provides a very good excuse for India to intervene.

According to the "Mountbatten Plan", East and West Pakistan have geographically attacked India, which has always been resentful.

But because of this, Pakistan's rule over Bangladesh is very weak because on land, the two are not connected at all. Bangladesh is an "outer enclave" for Pakistan.

On the other hand, in the first and second wars for Kashmir, India has been considering that Dongba set fire in its backyard and dared not fight with Bahru with all his might, so it has been unable to achieve effective results, and is worried about this.

For many years, the "Worries of Dongba" have been a heart-wrenching problem for Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

But now, a great opportunity has come, but Mrs. Indira Gandhi is extremely calm and does not take military action immediately.

This is because the fact that her father Nehru fell from the throne of the prime minister due to the 1962 defeat in the war against China was like a mirror that prevented her from taking this matter lightly.

She knew very well that this India-Pakistan war was of decisive nature for India.

In victory, India can completely dismember East Pakistan from Pakistan, causing Pakistan, who has been "challenging" for many years to seriously damage its vitality. Dominating South Asia from now on is no longer a dream.

If you fail and lose your official position, India will not only lose all the face of a big country, but may also fall into Pakistan's "trouble" for a long time.

Therefore, Mrs. Indira Gandhi believes that not only should we seize this opportunity, but we should also win in one battle!

At the same time, Mrs. Gandhi also clearly knew that this war must be prepared for a long time before it can win. Therefore, under her leadership, India carried out an orderly preparation for the war: (To be continued...)
