The first thousand one hundred and forty-two chapters see clues
Such "infantry and artillery coordination" really makes the Indian infantry fly and suffer from pain.
The towed artillery artillery on the rear position of the Indian army. They could only watch their comrades fall down in the artillery fire of the Pakistani army, shattering, torn limbs and internal organs weave a Shura hell.
No matter how anxious or the atmosphere was. Even if they bit their teeth, the Indian army's gunners were helpless. They could only open their eyes and look at the Ba army's artillery positions, but they could not hit the opposite side.
At this moment, the officers of the artillery battalion also developed resentment: the top leaders of the army only knew how to spend a lot of dollars to buy American tanks. They also wasted a lot of money to build vases like "Arjun", but as a result, these tanks are now wisely hiding behind the infantry.
The battalion commander of the Indian Army Artillery Battalion was very angry about this. The senior army leaders were rarely willing to spend some money to equip artillery with some large-caliber artillery, and even Pakistani artillery could not compare.
This also led to the fact that now Indian artillery can only stare at the comrades of the infantry division to die in groups, but he is powerless.
Seeing this tragic Shura scene, the hearts of the Indian Army gunners were dripping with blood. They had no choice but to fire randomly into several places where the range could reach to vent their depression.
At the same time, it is also to enhance the mood of the compatriots who initiated the human charge tactic. As for whether it can cause some casualties to the soldiers in the Pakistani military’s defensive positions, it is hard to say.
The Indian soldiers who lucky enough to rush through the Pakistani artillery coverage area finally successfully arrived at the forefront of the Pakistani military position they had dreamed of. However, although it was obvious that they no longer needed to take into account the threat of artillery fire, it did not mean that this place was safe.
The Indian soldiers are about to face. However, the fierce Torrent IIII universal machine gun on the Pakistani defensive position, a weapon that can fire 7.62mm machine gun bullets. Under its crossfire, it is not a joke.
The 7.62mm machine gun bullet is not as powerful as the cannonball. It cannot take away several or even dozens of lives with one shot, and there is no ubiquitous fragmented storm.
But in fact, one hundred and ten general-purpose machine guns, arranged in front or left and right, form a tight death penalty zone, like a large net woven with bullets, constantly devouring people's lives.
The firing frequency of more than 660 rounds per minute, coupled with the amazing penetration of 7.62mm machine gun bullets, driven by the ignition of gunpowder, was enough to tear the flesh and blood of the Indian infantry.
The broken head and broken hands and feet simply cut their belly from the side, just like being cut by a sharp blade, the internal organs flow out and blood gushed like a spring.
Before these Indian soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, most of them died, and the remaining people were able to approach the front of the Pakistani machine gun position. Many people hurriedly looked for dead corners to avoid machine guns and artillery fire shooting, and then hid in, not daring to move at will.
Outside, screams, guns, guns, and the sound of soil falling to the ground were everywhere.
In the face of war machines such as artillery and machine guns, human power is so humble, just like a candle fire that will be extinguished at any time.
It is obvious that the pig-punch-type meat bomb charge tactic failed, and the huge losses also made the commander of the Indian Eastern Route Army a lot of awakening. He began to realize that infantry lacking armor protection was powerless in the face of such fierce artillery fire and machine gun positions.
In such a state of charge, it is simply suicide. As expected, armored troops must be sent to effectively cooperate with the infantry and then break through the enemy's positions.
In fact, these two tactics have proved extremely stupid during World War II.
When Japan's bayonet battle faced the United States and the Soviet Union, it became an infinite death-sending tactic. Britain, France and other countries asked tanks to cooperate with infantry, but were beaten to the point of being beaten by Germany's pure mechanized torrent.
No matter how many classic tactics the Indian army commanders have learned, it is difficult for them to master the essence of war, because India has not experienced a real war for too long and has never encountered a decent opponent.
The commander of the Eastern Route Army looked around and was reluctant to put the expensive "Aqiong" and m60 into such a war of attrition. He had to settle for the second best and issued an order to draw some inferior goods from the four ** armored brigades to cooperate with the infantry's operations.
As a result, after some struggle, 140 Polish-made T55 tanks were taken out. Under the cover of these tanks, the БmП-1 and БmП-2 infantry fighting vehicles equipped by the mechanized infantry division were also equipped with a reorganized infantry regiment. Then it launched a second attack on the military positions.
Not to mention, this trick is quite effective.
Although the Pakistani army responded very quickly, after receiving reports from frontier positions, the gunners in the rear row also replaced the high-explosive bombs with armor-piercing bombs that responded to armored units in a very timely manner.
But this time it took a lot of time to take advantage of the Indian army.
You should know that the assault speed of the armored troops is quite fast, but the artillery fire of the Pakistani army cannot keep up with the speed of Indian tanks and infantry fighting vehicles advancing.
In the end, the Indian army successfully advanced to the forefront of the Pakistani military's defensive positions after paying the price of 30 tanks and 20 infantry fighting vehicles.
At this time, the anti-tank guns and anti-tank missiles deployed on the Pakistani military's positions can play their role, and even for this moment, the Pakistani military's weapons reserves are quite amazing.
On the Pakistani army's defensive positions, the anti-tank guns they configured were all 105mm caliber flat-fired cannons, which had straight ballistics when firing and were easy to aim.
Moreover, almost all the shells fired by this anti-tank gun are armor that can perpendicularly penetrate the frontal armor of Indian tanks. What's more, the shells used by the Pakistani army are depleted uranium armor-piercing shells produced by Chinese weapons manufacturers.
Although this kind of anti-tank gun has a large caliber, it is more than enough to deal with the Indian T55 tanks. Even the thickest frontal armor may not be able to withstand a shot.
As for the infantry fighting vehicles of БmП-1 and БmП-2, whose armor thickness is not enough to be 40 mm, in front of such anti-tank guns, they are completely broken paper gourds with one stab.
As for a small number of m60a3 main battle tanks, the 105mm caliber anti-tank gun poses little threat to this second-generation main battle tank equipped with plug-in reactive armor.
But Pakistan is not without preparations. Some anti-tank missiles are specifically used to deal with such difficult enemies. Moreover, the Pakistani army takes advantage of the terrain and sets up a large number of anti-tank missile ambush positions on several high grounds that are protruding outward.
These anti-tank missiles are specially designed to pick out weak side armor and tracks of the m60a3. Post-war statistics show that this effect is quite good.
Under this multi-level three-dimensional defense strike, the Indian army lost nearly 50 T55s and 14 m60a3s, and even nearly half of the infantry fighting vehicles.
Such a huge loss was only in exchange for ammunition consumption of the Pakistani army, and the Indian army still failed to break through the Pakistani army's face-to-face defense position. Due to the great casualties, the morale of the troops dropped to the critical point, and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army had to order the remaining troops to withdraw from the battle.
The two sides fought back and forth, and had a series of offensive and defensive competitions.
On the Indian side, nearly 200 armored vehicles and two established infantry regiments were lost, and the losses were heavy. As the defensive side, the Pakistani army also lost nearly one regiment of troops in the Indian army's second attack wave, including a large amount of military supplies being consumed.
The Indian army's tank guns and artillery still caused some trouble to the Pakistani army.
Not only that, more than half of the anti-tank positions carefully constructed by Pakistan were destroyed, and the first two defense zones were damaged most, and even the basic defense system was difficult to maintain.
Therefore, after the Indian army retreated, the Pakistani army seized time to rest, abandoned the frontier of the position, and turned to retreat to the two remaining high grounds, and rebuilt a new position system at the end of the second defense zone.
Therefore, it can be said that in this situation, the outcome of India and Pakistan is not yet clear.
From the perspective of loss, the Indian army's losses in this battle were obviously much greater than that in Pakistan, and they were still at a disadvantage in the situation.
But from the overall situation, such losses are not a big risk for India, which has a great advantage in military strength and resources. As long as the troops and period are reorganized, the Indian army's combat power will still have the upper hand compared to Pakistan.
At the same time, part of the Eastern Route Army's goal was achieved. After paying a huge price, they finally successfully forced the Pakistani army to retreat to the end of the 2nd defense zone.
Although the tactical intentions that were originally formulated were not fully achieved, at least part of them was achieved. More importantly, the Indian Eastern Route Army still had the strength to organize an attack formation of sufficient scale.
The previous two defeats also gave the Indian army commanders a new understanding of the Pakistani army's tactical execution capabilities and began to realize that it is inappropriate to launch a large-scale group charge on such terrain.
The wide front and narrow back here are very unfavorable to leverage the Indian army's military strength advantages. If you have to force yourself, it will give Pakistan an opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's strength in the local area.
These two attacks have caused the Indian army to collect a lot of useful Pakistani intelligence. One of them is that on this line of defense, the Pakistani army in front of them is not equipped with armor. Judging from the opponent's failure to counterattack or pursue, the opponent's troops are not very strong, otherwise they would not retreat to the rear defense zone immediately after victory.
