    In the battlefield on the western front in South Asia, China mainly attacks India from two directions. One is to transport heavy troops into Pakistan-controlled Kashmir via the China-Pakistan Railway, and then joins forces with the Pakistanis to attack the Indian troops guarding here; the other is  It is to cross the mountains directly from the Asakchin area, move forward among the lofty mountains, and enter the Ladakh area, which is dominated by Tibetan residents.

    The Ladakh region is mountainous and the terrain is complex, making it difficult for heavy mechanized troops to carry out operations. The Chinese engineering troops opened a westward road on National Highway 219 in the Ali region at an alarming speed, connecting the other side of the border to the border road built by India.  Although it is difficult for main battle tanks such as Type 99 to pass on new roads, China's Type 3 (Type 14) light tanks deployed in large numbers in plateau and mountainous areas can better exert their combat capabilities on such terrain.

    Type 86 light tanks and a convoy of Type 09 infantry battles drove into the Ladakh region in a mighty manner. They were also assisted by air and ground auxiliary strike forces such as the Wuzhi-10 and Tengu transforming mechas of the Army Aviation Force.  It was difficult for the Indian border security forces to contend with such an opponent. They were violently attacked almost as soon as they made contact, and could only retreat and be annihilated.

    The Chinese PLA forward force attacking the Ladakh region is a mountain mechanized infantry brigade. This brigade is affiliated to the Xinjiang Military Region. It was adapted from the meritorious troops that participated in the border war with the Soviet Union. It was transformed from a large and heavy mechanized force that mainly fought in desert areas.  , has been transformed into a light and agile mechanized force suitable for raid operations in mountains.

    The Indian army lacks sufficient armored force to fight the Chinese army in the Ladakh region. This was pointed out by many military experts before the war began. India also once hoped to increase its budget to establish a "17th Army" in Ladakh, which would make the Ladakh region  There can be at least 20 main battle tanks, and they are equipped with enough multiple rocket launchers, self-propelled artillery and other weapons to resist the powerful Chinese army.

    However, the Indian army¡¯s plan to expand and prepare its troops is still on paper, and Chinese troops have already entered the Ladakh region.  The total number of tanks deployed by the Indian army in Ladakh at this time is less than 6, and they are basically second-generation main battle tanks such as T2, which are not enough to fight against Chinese tanks such as 99 tanks and Type 86 light tanks, let alone  China also has a huge number of armed helicopters, which are the best weapons for hunting tanks.

    Relying on the rugged mountains, the Indian army used six T2 tanks and a company-sized soldiers to block the Chinese mountain mechanized infantry brigade that was advancing deep into the Ladakh region.  The leading force of China's mountain mechanized infantry brigade is a fully equipped mechanized infantry battalion, equipped with two Type 86 light tanks. Although the Type 86 tank is smaller than the T2 in terms of size and main gun caliber, it is difficult to actually fight.  Not so.

    The on-board electronic equipment of the Type 86 tank is more advanced, especially the fire control, which completely destroys the T2, and the 10mR spoon main gun has impressive penetration.  When the two sides met the enemy, the T2 tanks were going downhill and were in a more favorable attacking position. However, it was true that the Chinese light tanks spoke first and opened fire like the Indian T2 tanks at a distance of 26 meters.

    Tank fire immediately enveloped these Indian tanks. Four of the Indian tanks were immediately beaten to the point of losing their combat capability and lay down on the slope.  The Indian army also tried to fire at Chinese tanks, but the T2's somewhat shabby fire control made it difficult for these shells to hit the Chinese tanks. By the time the last few Indian tanks rushed down, they were already in an awkward position where they could neither advance nor retreat.  , and the double-edged armed helicopters that moved in in coordination with the ground troops fired rockets at several Indian tanks one after another, eventually drowning them in the hail of bullets.

    What was a little unlucky was that the Indian tank fired a random shot at the last moment. This shot hit a NIP multifunctional infantry vehicle following the tank. The armor of the infantry fighting vehicle could not block the tank shells. This  The tank was seriously damaged and several soldiers in the tank were killed or injured.

    On the top of the hill is a permanent fortification built by the Indian army. The Indian soldiers inside raised a Stinger missile launcher and shot it towards the double-edged helicopter.  The pilot of the Army Airlines was still very experienced. After hearing the buzzer from the warning device, he immediately made an evasive action and released a heat decoy bomb. The helicopter weighing dozens of tons opened an orange-red beam in the air.  Stamen, this Stinger missile narrowly missed the helicopter.

    Realizing that the enemy was rampant, the Chinese troops immediately counterattacked. The Hongjian-10 anti-armor missile equipped on the NIP multi-functional infantry vehicle immediately adjusted its firing angle, aimed at the bunker, and fired directly.  Anti-armor missiles are also used as weapons to deal with such hard-point targets on many occasions. The Hongjian-10 flew directly onto the hilltop. Although it was fired from above, it still successfully hit the bunker and destroyed it.

    Not all the Indian soldiers were killed, and they jumped out of the bunker one after another. The double-blade helicopter that came for revenge immediately harvested them with the 6mm six-barreled Gatling gun on its side.

    Just like this, most of the Indian troops in Ladakh are small groups like this. Although the Chinese troops they encounter are also small groups, they are an order of magnitude smaller in terms of personnel size and weapons and equipment, so they can only be  A good beating.  Even the Indian army can occasionallyThey organized a battle with more people than the Chinese troops, but lacked effective counter-weapons. Facing the firepower combination of Chinese light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, armed helicopters, and transforming mecha attack aircraft, they could only be massacred.  Er, similar to the situation in southern Tibet, after the Indian army repeatedly encountered Chinese troops and suffered heavy losses, some grassroots officers of the Indian army began to act on their own, leading their troops to retreat backwards, ignoring orders issued by their superiors.

    The other Chinese troops entering Kashmir from the China-Pakistan Railway use standard heavy mechanized equipment, and the number and scale are very considerable. China is expected to send at least 30,000 troops to Kashmir through the China-Pakistan Railway.  Will include one of Qi Yiming's Red Alert Legion heavy divisions.

    The focus of the Pakistani army's offensive is the Kashmir Valley, the most lush, populous and best-conditioned area in Kashmir.  The climate here is relatively pleasant and it is also a very good summer resort. It can be regarded as the essence of Kashmir.  During the first India-Pakistan war, this was the focus of competition between India and Pakistan.

    After China launched the flag-burning war, the Pakistani army also invaded Kashmir. It made good progress at first, but it still encountered a fierce counterattack by the Indian army near Wurler Lake, and suffered considerable losses.  It was not until the Chinese PLAl also joined the offensive sequence that the biggest weight was added to the balance of war.

    Although the Kashmir Valley is not an endless plain, the terrain is much flatter than the high mountains such as the Karakoram Mountains, Himalayas, and Bir Panjal Range. Large-scale mechanized troops can also be deployed here smoothly.  It also provides the best stage for the collision of ground forces between India, Pakistan and China.

    It is worth mentioning that the long-awaited confrontation between the Arjun main battle tank and the Chinese Type 99 main battle tank, which has been long-awaited by many Indian military fans, has indeed come.

    The day after the Chinese army joined the attack on the Indian army, outside Amergarh, an important town in the northern Kashmir Valley, the Chinese armored forces launched a fierce competition with the Indian armored forces for the first time.  India invested more than 100 tanks of various types in this tank war, including their strongest NlAI tanks, T2 tanks and self-produced Arjun tanks. However, it is precisely because of this that the Indian army's logistics problems are considerable.  pressure to meet the needs of these different weapons on the battlefield.

    At the beginning of the battle, the Chinese armored forces first attacked the flank of the Indian army facing the Pakistani army, and broke out a gap in a very short time. In order to block the gap and prevent the Chinese from performing their specialty  Interspersed with encirclement tactics, the Indian army decisively invested dozens of main battle tanks in an attempt to drive back the Chinese armored troops and stabilize its flank defense line.

    The Indian army uses a tank cluster composed of NlAI, hoping to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese armored forces, and then use its numerical advantage to disrupt the Chinese offensive, thus once again stabilizing the defense line.

    However, it is obvious that the Indian army's NlAI has also been downgraded by the Americans. It is not much different from the monkey version. The opponent is the final model main battle tank upgraded to 99A. Once the competition begins, NlAI cannot support the 99 tank.  Rapid pressure.

    In particular, the laser suppression used by the 99A71 temporarily blinded many Indian tank gunners and commanders, and also damaged and disturbed its fire control system. When the NlAI was unable to operate normally, Chinese tanks launched attacks one after another, and the tank guns were like  The most elite NlAI of the Indian army were knocked out one by one by name.

    When the Indian army commander saw the situation, he gritted his teeth and refused to allow the troops to withdraw, because he could not give such an order. If the Indian armored forces withdrew, the flanks of the Indian army's defense line would be completely exposed to the Chinese. China  After people tear it apart, they will cut off the Indian army in the middle, and together with the Pakistani army, they will besiege the divided Indian army. This will not only bring heavy losses to the Indian army, but also the defense line of Amergarh will not be maintained. Sri Lanka, the capital of Kashmir,  The gates of Linaga were opened to Pakistanis and Chinese.

    Therefore, the Indian army once again pressed forward the T2 and Arjun as reserve teams, hoping to defeat the Chinese tanks through numerical superiority.  However, this idea was also confirmed by the Chinese armored forces as a complete delusion. More Indian tanks can only create more results for the Chinese armored forces.

    Dozens of 99A7 tanks were like tigers descending the mountain, blowing up Indian tanks one after another with great revelry. However, the Indian tanks were helpless against these rough-skinned guys. Arjun, who had high hopes for the Indian army,  The tanks were even more vulnerable and had little power to fight back in front of the 99A7.
