The incompetence of the Indian Air Force immediately provided the most suitable battlefield environment for the subsequent battle to attack the mechas. Because of insufficient air strike capabilities and harassed by the Air Force Volunteer Army of the Chinese Federal Army, Indian aircraft could no longer control air supremacy. (Let's read the novel.)

It is mainly because the Phantom iii fighter jets were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles during the ambush. The remaining old goods could not threaten the rk-67 barbarians equipped with small surface-to-air missiles.

As for why we should abandon the key valley entrance of Nibehar, it is actually the idea of ​​the Chinese consultant. With Pakistan's national strength, the tactics of defending the enemy outside the country are not very suitable.

Although it has large-caliber artillery, India has always had an absolute advantage in the overall strength of the army. In this case, Pakistan is at a disadvantage by using positional warfare to consume each other with the enemy.

Therefore, under the tough request of the Chinese National Affairs Advisor, Pakistani President Ye Haiya Khan ordered the commander-in-chief of the Pakistani army to obey the strategic arrangements of the Chinese National Affairs Advisor and adopt the active defense tactics of luring the enemy into depth within the border.

This so-called luring the enemy into depth is definitely not a complete putting the opponent in, but an echelon-like resistance, launching sneak attacks at the weakest part of the enemy, and gradually destroying the opponent's sharpness and mental state.

Nebhar seems to be an excellent defensive position, but the terrain outside the valley entrance is flat, so the Indian army can launch a flood of ground attacks and flood it.

Instead, after giving up Nibhar, there was a long and narrow mountain road. This road was paved with gravel on the compacted soil. Due to lack of maintenance, the road was uneven and uneven, which was not conducive to the marching of the large army.

As long as you ambush a small number of troops in the mountains and forests next to you and use several anti-tank rockets, you can block the place for a long time. This was what the Pakistani army did before, blocking an Indian army's armored brigade on the mountain road, and then using artillery that adjusted to shoot the world, a fierce bombardment was used.

As a result, the Indian army was beaten up without even seeing the enemy.

Although the results of the battle were not great, this made the morale of the Indian army much lower, even if the casualties were less than one percent. But who can cheer up when he was beaten and not fight back?

The Bavarian army's Bernhard defensive position captured by the Indian vanguard infantry regiment actually did not retreat in a hurry because of the fierce artillery fire and air strikes of the Indian army, nor did it give up this position for the sake of proactive defense tactics.

Who is willing to let go easily in such a strategic military place?

However, China has fought for thousands of years and knows that things have a choice and plans have a sequence.

Although this dangerous pass that is difficult to open for tens of thousands of men seems important, it is difficult to deploy a large number of deep forces, and is not conducive to the mobile defense of vulnerable troops.

In the case of a huge gap in combat power between India and Pakistan, even if the Pakistani army can have a certain geographical advantage, the enemy can use its superior military strength and air strike power to attack the position.

Even if the number of troops deployed on the Nibehar Mountains is just a living target for enemy aircraft and cannons. Such a rigid defense method will only bring extremely heavy casualties to its own troops under the modern three-dimensional war model. (You can read the novel.)

Moreover, in the end, you may not be able to successfully defend this position.

However, temporarily evacuating from Nibehar does not mean doing nothing. Even if there are no steep slopes or cliffs, you can also use tunnels on the plain to enhance your ground defense.

Therefore, under the guidance of this tactical idea, the Pakistani army also obeyed the command of the Chinese affairs consultant. Two months ago, the Pakistani army was fully prepared.

This combat plan was to arrange a large number of ground troops in the plains behind Nibehar, and use tunnels and some civil fortifications to build a ground defense network. It also set up a formation of strict defense.

But these are all to conceal the real combat operations. A Pakistani engineer brigade, which was trained by the Chinese Federal Army for more than three years, was the protagonist of this battle.

They used large-scale construction machines and construction engineering vehicles purchased from China to dig many three-meter-deep tunnels on the north side of Mount Bernhard, that is, on the hillside facing the area they controlled.

The tunnels are crisscrossed and arranged according to the most reasonable structure, including dormitory areas, defense areas, ammunition storage points and grain storage points, hiding a reorganized infantry regiment of the Pakistan Army in the tunnel network.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, it is difficult for India to detect the arrangement of the Pakistani army. Even the reconnaissance aircraft bought by the Indian army from the French cannot cross the mountains to detect the situation here. This is a plateau with an altitude of 4,000 meters!

What's more, the Indians planned to adopt sneak attacks from the beginning, so they could not cross the ceasefire line to the Pakistani control area for reconnaissance. Doing so would be like telling the Pakistani that they were going to attack here.

The tunnel system was well hidden. Using the original bushes and camouflage nets, all the abnormal situations here were covered under the secret leaves. This made the Indian infantry regiment climbing to Nibhar unable to find the weirdness here. How could they imagine that there would be a regiment of Pakistani infantry hidden under their noses?

At the same time, according to the suggestions of Chinese consultants, the Pakistani army also quietly arranged anti-tank ambush positions in several hidden areas. This kind of ground-to-ground anti-tank missile has the same power as a rocket, which is equivalent to a simple electronic navigation device installed on the rocket.

So much so that to the eyes of the soldiers of the Indian Armored Brigade who were attacked, they seemed to have been attacked by rockets.

The dense woods and bushes with staggered heights provide a good place to hide the deployment of anti-tank missiles. The ambushing of Indian armored troops passing through mountain roads was these guys who secretly fired arrows, and eventually caused the Indian army's mechanized armored troops to be in chaos.

The ambush on the mountain road was carried out by another rapid response force, mainly led by a group of special forces from China, teaching the Pakistani corresponding jungle special warfare skills, especially the tactics of small troops to attack large units.

On the other hand, the Pakistani infantry lying in the tunnel did not blindly expand their results. They still had to obey the overall situation and wait for the next instructions here quietly.

The tactical arrangement of all this is not just for a simple ambush or destroying dozens of enemy tanks, but a series of strategies. The Indian army entered the initial trap, and there were more surprises waiting for them.

30 kilometers north of this place, there is a Pakistani heavy artillery position and an air defense position respectively. All are self-propelled artillery and crawler air defense missile vehicles, and mobility is the most important key point in modern warfare.

Any rigid defensive position is just a fixed target in front of heavy weapons at a distance. No matter how hard the turtle shell is, it can always be smashed open.

On the contrary, the world's mainstream military countries attach the most importance to the overall mobility of the troops, rather than trenches and bunkers.

These self-propelled artillery and tracked air defense missile vehicles are the defense line of the Pakistani army, and are also a defense line that can be moved at any time. In this way, they can actively defend against the enemy's actions, and can also be used as offensive forces when necessary.

This tactical system of integrated offense and defense was thoroughly understood by the Chinese Federal Army at the end of World War II. Now, it is naturally easy to use.

In contrast, the situation of the Indian army. They were still copying classic tactics from World War II and did not formulate appropriate tactics based on understanding themselves, let alone flexibly use them.

After all, in history, India was not a country that was good at fighting. The nation that lived here was not a nation known for its bravery.

After a series of losses, the self-propelled artillery troops retreated from the Pakistani side stopped after a distance, and then expanded again to form an artillery position.

As long as you adjust it according to the recorded shooting elements, you can accurately judge the enemy's position. Then use a fire to let the Indian army taste the power.

The advantages of mechanized self-propelled artillery are fully reflected at this time. Whether it is entering combat or urgent transfer, its reaction ability is incomparable to old-fashioned towing artillery.

Of course, the cost of self-propelled artillery is also high, and not affordable by any country.

And even if the economic conditions of countries like India are pretty good, no country is willing to sell advanced self-propelled artillery to them at present.

Now, only China, Germany, Poland and the United States have mastered the design and manufacturing technology of self-propelled artillery in the world. Although India is Poland's largest arms buyer, the Polish government also needs to consider the attitude of the Chinese Federation. Most of the self-propelled artillery sold to India are "problem products".

As for Germany and the United States, they basically use it themselves. The number of exports is not large, so India's self-propelled artillery is pitifully few and can only be used in the armored brigade.

The muzzle of the self-propelled artillery slowly raised, and shells were pressed into the bullet cabin. The sound of metal friction made people feel excited. Then there was a continuous burst of gunpowder.

The soft soil was trembling with huge reaction force, and some small stones jumped up happily, which was the music of heavy metal resounding through the sky.

Another round of fierce artillery fire, and the shells roared at the Indian army's mechanized armored troops to cover the evacuation of friendly forces from their original defensive positions.

This tactic is aimed at a time difference between the Indian army's armored forces and the air attack aircraft group. Based on the Indian army's consistent performance, we can probably know the specific value of this time difference...

The 15-minute self-propelled artillery bombardment allows the artillery regiments carrying heavy artillery to be installed and then retreat. Attacking the blocked Indian army, they usually call for air support like the US military, which basically takes fifteen minutes.

When the Indian army's flight squadron arrives, the air defense firepower vehicles and tracked air defense missile vehicles that follow the army can take action and conduct targeted interceptions on the Indian army's attack aircraft group.

When the Indian army's fighter jets could not withstand the losses and then retreated, then the Indian army's heavy artillery regiment could establish a new artillery position and immediately enter a new battle.

Artillery, air defense, artillery, air defense, and the two troops cover and shrink each other's defense lines, so they reciprocate the strength and spirit of the Indian army until they cannot withstand the pressure and retreat.

At that time, the entire Mechanized Armored Division, which was ready to go, launched a surprise attack, following and pursuing, completely overwhelming the Indian army's fighting spirit and turning retreat into retreat.

However, such tactics are still too difficult for Pakistanis, because to achieve such a goal, the ground troops invested in combat must have very high tactical qualities and good discipline.

Not only should we be calm, but we should also be absolutely obedient. We should enter the state of combat quickly and evacuate from the state of combat. We should not be greedy for merit. We should not be in love with the battle. We should not be in a hurry or slow, and follow the steps.

Without good mobile warfare training, loose military discipline and the general lack of education for soldiers makes it difficult for Pakistan's army troops to complete such tactics.

Therefore, in the last resort, among the two teams carrying out mobile operations, there were two self-propelled artillery regiments sent by the Chinese Federation to Pakistan and a self-propelled air defense missile regiment.

In normal military operations, many Chinese soldiers were split up and assigned to serve as squad leaders or platoon soldiers to assist in the command of the ground troops.

This has barely reached the minimum tactical requirements, and at the same time, it has also allowed Pakistani generals to see what is the real modern combat mode? This is not just a weapon update.

Tactical thinking, military training, military source quality, these are the most basic things, and they are also things that countries like Pakistan and India lack.

Through this actual combat, the effectiveness of this tactic was well proved, and the senior executives of the Chinese Federal Army were still very satisfied with this. They could use other people's troops to test their own new tactics. Where can I find such good things?

In fact, since World War II, the Germans and Americans have gradually begun to learn the tactical execution methods of the Chinese, abandoning the fixed position war in World War II that competes with trenches and bunkers, but instead adopting flexible mobile combat.

However, this is not the so-called guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare refers to the lack of a fixed base. Because of the backwardness of weapons, a fixed ambush circle is still necessary, that is, a fixed position.

Modern mobile warfare is based on convenient transportation conditions and flexibly sending troops. Moreover, the emergence of armored combat vehicles has greatly enhanced the protection ability of infantry and also provided feasibility for mobile warfare.

Singh, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Indian Army, naturally found it difficult to understand this advanced "mobile warfare" idea. He still stayed in the war mode of the past, looking for the enemy's position, and then attacked and fought hard.

But now, Singh clearly felt that the Pakistani army in front of him seemed to have changed its original combat method, becoming erratic, making people powerful and have nowhere to use it.

This feeling of being beaten but not being beaten makes Singer almost vomit blood.

As one of the senior generals of the Indian army, Singh has conducted detailed research on the wars that have taken place in India's history, and even analyzed the classic examples of the First and Second World Wars. However, no time has ever been like now, but he is at a loss.

It's a bit like blitzkrieg, but it's not the kind of tank charge tactics, but uses the movement ability of mechanized troops to keep distances and not fight against the enemy.

More like the Mongols conquered Eastern Europe's cavalry tactics, which used the superior maneuverability of the light cavalry to distance themselves from Western heavy cavalry and infantry, and stopped to shoot arrows in a safe place.

Just like the European nobles back then, Singer is very helpless now. Even if he sees through this tactic, he can only helpless. Because his infantry troops cannot catch up with the enemy, and the tank troops are still stuck in the mountain road and cannot move.

On the other hand, the shameful behavior of the Pakistani army to "abandon" the country made Singer very dislike.

Like most Indian officers of this era, Singer basically graduated from the British Academy of Sciences and received the traditional education of the British team.

This military education system with a strong aristocratic plot attaches most importance to the honor of soldiers, which was originally a good thing. But because of his brainstorming, this excessive emphasis on honor has led to the rigidity of the army's combat thinking.

It is no wonder that Britain has never been a powerful army country, and its army strategic thinking remains in the old world war model, and is a traditional army combat idea.

Although they are now learning from the United States and China and using their own industrial production capabilities to modernize the army's equipment, this does not mean that their tactical ideas have also been modernized.

At this point, except for the three countries ahead, the United States and Germany, and other countries in the world are basically still in the era of old militarism.

Under the poison of this conservative tactical concept, Singh found himself helpless. The small number of Indian troops did not dare to advance blindly, but the infantry troops could not catch up with the enemy's artillery positions. Instead, they were constantly baptized by the Pakistani army's artillery shells and were beaten to the ground for teeth.

Every time he dispatched air force to destroy the enemy's artillery positions, he was always discovered by the Pakistani army first, and an air defense firepower net was arranged on the flight route of his own air force squadron, which made the Air Force brothers run away with their heads in their arms.

Gritting his teeth, he sent out one of the few armored troops that could be used for mobile combat, but was intercepted by enemy anti-tank infantry halfway. The Pakistani infantry who were riding off-road vehicles and carrying fire fists Rpg made the armored front-drive troops who were lucky enough to pass the rugged mountain roads all regretted it.

Singh is really depressed now. If it were a whole tank brigade, how could these anti-tank infantrymen be so rampant?

The Indian army has always relied on the coordinated combat model of air-ground cooperation, which has caused the Pakistanis to suffer. But now, they are obviously stronger, but they are controlled by the enemy everywhere and are in a mess.
