In addition to the Mystery-4, the slightly worse aircraft is Dassault's "Hurricane", which bought 1953 from 1957 to 104.What is even worse is more than 300 "vampires". This aircraft is basically unable to fight the J-5 in air combat, and can only be used as a fighter-bomber.
In other words, on the day of December 12, one-third of the Indian Air Force's main fighter jets lay down.
After thinking for a long time, Menon said: "Has our ground forces captured the second town occupied by China?"
"Our troops have entered the town of Derangzong, but the Chinese army's defensive position is built on a mountain 2 kilometers west of the town of Derangzong." It was the chief of staff of the army, Kosodra Di Maia, who said, "In Pasir Ka, we have driven the Chinese army to 20 kilometers north of Pasika, and there is a Sikh regiment detouring the Chinese army's back."
"That means we haven't occupied Derangzong yet."
Di Maiya: "To be precise, the army has not launched an attack on the Chinese army in Derangzong. Is the 4th Division required to withdraw to Cordella?"
"Retreat? Why retreat?" Nehru said, "We are still on the offensive and cannot stop. Marshal, I need a plan to increase troops to the east."
……
late at night.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are you sure you want to increase your troops to the east on a large scale? This is likely to escalate the war."
Mukherjee asked Nehru for his opinion one last time.
"The Chinese have very few troops on the ground," Nehru said. "Your reconnaissance has also discovered that the number of them entering so far is less than 1. China dispatched the air force to stabilize them on the ground." positions. We will try to drive them back to where they were in February 1959."
Nehru thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, we can have peace talks with China."
Mukherjee and Menon glanced at each other.
"Then let me tell," Mukherjee blinked and pointed to the map. "Reinforcement to the east is first of all air reinforcement. We have an air force base in West Bengal, here, here. From tomorrow, the planes of the 2nd Wing should arrive at the position, take off from here, and cross East Pakistan into the east. There is no detour to Siri Guri Corridor, as this would severely reduce combat radius and reaction time."
Menon: "We have no agreement with Pakistan to borrow airspace."
"The Pakistanis have no way to stop it," Mukherjee said. "They don't even have a full early warning radar network there. Air Force fighter jets push the air defense network through, and the 5th Infantry Division can be reinforced from Siliguri to join the 4th Army. After the 5th Infantry Division came the 23rd Infantry Division."
"The vanguard of the 5th Infantry Division can leave tomorrow at the earliest, and the 23rd Infantry Division will leave on December 12."
……
That's wrong.
Zhang Guohua and the staff of the Tibet Military Region were at the headquarters, looking at the map of southern Tibet for a long time.
The combat effectiveness of the Indian army is slightly worse than originally expected...
"Send a report to the Chengdu General Command," Zhang Guohua said, "tell us about our opinions on the battlefield."
"First, please refrain from launching harsh air strikes against the 7th Indian Brigade for the time being, otherwise the Derangzong may not be able to stick to the 4th Division of the Indian Army, and they may retreat due to bombing. The Air Force seems to be able to use bombing forces for other directions of the battlefield;”
"Secondly, in the direction of Medog, the 2nd Division of the Indian Army and the indigenous troops are passing through our side and rear. While the troops in front of me are retreating one by one, can the Medog direction send troops into southern Tibet to cooperate;"
"Third, if it finally develops to two divisions of the Indian Army and the indigenous troops besieging our Derangzong stronghold, it may be necessary for the Shannan troops to go south to join the battle of Tawang-Derangzong..."
……
On the morning of December 12, four Mysterious-21 fighter jets of the Indian Air Force took off from Pacall, directly crossed the airspace of East Pakistan, and appeared in Assam.
Actually pakistan has radar here and has detected Indian planes crossing the border.Two hours later, Pakistani diplomats in India went to the Prime Minister's Office with a letter of protest.India prevaricated on the grounds of "navigation system failure".
Although India's radar stations in the east were all destroyed, according to the reports of the garrisons in various places, the Chinese army did not have a large fleet of intrusion operations this morning, and only two bombers were flying at an altitude of 7000 meters.
An hour later, the fighter jets of the Indian Air Force completed their patrol and returned, still crossing the border over East Pakistan.
Mukherjee drew up a reinforcement plan, which was implemented early this morning. The 2nd Infantry Division of the Indian Army rumbled into action. From the station in Bihar to the east, it walked about 100 kilometers through the Siliguri Corridor, and then entered the east.
The 5th Infantry Division is nicknamed the "Fireball" Division. This name is derived from its military flag. It looks like a fireball. In fact, it is the rising sun that just jumped out of the sea level. However, the British and American soldiers who fought together during World War II did not know it, so they called it Fireball. division.
When Nehru decided to go to war in southern Tibet, the 5th Infantry Division entered the battle state, ready to support the operation in southern Tibet at any time-although the Indian army in the east has 6 people, there are only 7 regular divisions There are 2 people, and the remaining 4 are the Assam army, and the atmosphere on the battlefield is mainly active.
The Siliguri Corridor is a narrow piece of land connecting eastern India, with East Pakistan to the south, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal to the northeast, north, and northwest.Because the Siliguri Corridor is easily cut off, the Indian army’s defense here is very strong. Anti-aircraft artillery positions can be seen everywhere along the way. In the narrowest section, a Pershing heavy tank can be seen parked a few hundred meters away. The semi-permanent fortifications on the three sandbag walls serve as fixed forts.
The supplies, logistics and tanks of the 5th Infantry Division took trains, and the infantry and artillery moved along the Siliguri road because they had motorized equipment.The car army on the road, led by the 34th Punjab Regiment, was driving, and found that the special trains of its own division had stopped on the railway, one after another, connected end to end.
Driving further, the convoy of the 34th Punjab Regiment also stopped on the road.
"The highway bridge was blown up, and engineers are rushing to repair it!"
When the words came from the front, the officers and soldiers of the 34th Regiment became noisy. Some wanted to get off the trucks and jeeps to let the wind pass.
"Those who get off the bus don't go far, the bridge will open to traffic at any time!" The officer shouted, I don't know if the soldiers listened to it, but this sentence was just said casually. It is more than one meter long. If it is broken by the bomb, it will take at least a day or two to repair it, and it will take several hours for the engineers to erect the pontoon bridge urgently.
……
The air defense siren sounded suddenly at this moment.The sharp sirens were accompanied by the roar of anti-aircraft artillery fire, but the Indian air defense forces on both sides of the road, whether they were 94mm anti-aircraft guns or 40mm and 28mm cannons, seemed to be firing aimlessly into the sky. .
The first "air-to-ground-2" TV-guided air-to-surface missile flew to the convoy at this time.The missile did not know where it came from, but it should have been far away, trailing a long white smoke, flying lower and lower, and heading straight for the truck at the front of the convoy.Before the truck driver and the soldiers in the vehicle understood what was going on, they were blown up into the sky by missiles, including people and the vehicle.
The second, third, fourth...
The distance to Siliguri is not too short, beyond the combat radius of the J-5 and JJ-1, the Il-28 can only be reached at the extreme range, and it has to turn around and run after launching the missile.Thanks to the electronic reconnaissance aircraft tracking and locating the moving path of the regiment-level unit's vehicle-mounted radio in the 5th Division's march in the air, the Il-28 was able to release the missile at the most accurate time window.
The roads and railways in Siliguri suddenly became the scene of a large-scale car demolition.Vehicles that are directly hit by TV-guided bombs are generally blown into parts. If there are no direct hits, as long as they can explode within a distance of 10 meters, a 60-kilogram warhead is enough to knock trucks and jeeps to the side of the road.
Two main roads that were close to parallel and 300 meters apart turned into barbecue grills that stretched for [-] to [-] kilometers: not only cars and tractors burned, but trains were also patronized by strange ammunition designed to blow up locomotives.
"The Chinese planes have already withdrawn." Fifteen minutes later, the Indian fighter pilot who rushed over Siliguri looked at the ground under his feet. "The roads and railways have been dived and strafed. It seems that the damage is very serious."
"Dive and straf? This is impossible. The air defense forces have not found any dive-bombing aircraft in the sky."
"But the whole highway is burning!"
(I'm still working overtime today, only one chapter is saved... There will be no second update tonight, and I will make it up tomorrow afternoon)
Chapter 247, Mysterious players join the battlefield
American tea merchant Jonathan and his assistant Kevin set off from Dhaka in a self-driving truck, crossed half of East Pakistan, and crossed the border to the Siliguri Corridor.
Of course the two of them were not tea merchants, that was just a cover.Josenna and Kevin are intelligence agents at the CIA Dhaka station. After the Kalimpong base was destroyed, the Dhaka station temporarily served as intelligence collectors in eastern India, Nepal and Bhutan.
The main roads and railways in the Siliguri Corridor have been controlled by the military, and there are Indian soldiers patrolling everywhere, but this is not a problem for Jonathan. Their identities soon became the company owners of the cars confiscated by the Indian military, pulling some cement. The prefabricated panels enter the Siliguri neighborhood from the corridor.
"The day before yesterday afternoon, when the Indians were marching on this road, they were suddenly covered by Chinese aerial bombardment," Josna said. "Indian newspapers temporarily blocked the news, but it is said that the losses were very heavy. A motorbike preparing to reinforce the front line In the chemical infantry division, a regiment lost its combat capability on the way in, ... the battlefield is just ahead of the road we are taking."
Kevin stared at the Indian army's circular air defense position that appeared some distance outside the car window.The anti-aircraft guns with large, medium and small calibers in the positions are matched with each other, and their performances cooperate with each other. In addition to the anti-aircraft positions, Kevin can also see more than one fortifications built towards Pakistan.
"A ground bombing in such a place is really unexpected," Kevin said, "and I see no signs of damage to the anti-aircraft emplacements."
"Gliding bombs, or air-to-surface missiles, they have been used on the battlefield six years ago." Josenna blew his horn, signaling the cattle crossing the road ahead to move away, "From within the range of the anti-aircraft guns Tossed outside, completely immune to anti-aircraft fire. Forget it, let's get off here."
The two CIA agents walked forward for about 500 meters, and a railway appeared on the left side of the road. The rail turned a large arc and then changed to be parallel to the road.
There is a train lying on the railway, and there are busy Indians on both sides of the railway.Looking closely, the front of the train should have been hit by a bomber, and the cylinders were all blown up. Driven by the energy of the explosion, the front pairs of wheels of the locomotive burst off, and the entire locomotive has now become a roadblock for the railway.
