Chapter 821 Christmas Offensive

Forced to retreat from the Fifth Fleet of the US Army, Xue Chenguang safely delivered the heavy equipment of the 13th Army to Pakistan. After leaving behind four 039G New Song-class conventional submarines to form a joint naval command with the Pakistani Navy, Xue Chenguang led the special mixed fleet back to the country.

With this extremely important batch of heavy equipment and ammunition, the General Staff began to carry out a secret military operation. In this plan, the People's Liberation Army and Pakistani troops will jointly launch an attack on Punjab and Rajasthan in eastern India while the US troops have not yet been transported to the United States, occupying India's two important states, while consuming the Indian army's vitality and reducing the pressure on the People's Liberation Army in southern Tibet.

For Pakistan, which does not have much strategic depth, it is difficult to withstand the US and Indian forces' attacks from both east and west. In the last round of US-India joint attack, its capital was almost fallen. Therefore, after the Sino-Pakistan Joint Operations Command recovered, the first thing it had to do was to solve the fatal threat faced by Pakistan.

This time, the main forces of the 13th Army and the 21st Army were mobilized to enter Pakistan to sever the relatively weak Indian army's main force before the US military entered India.

In order to achieve this goal, after the TCM fleet transported heavy equipment to Pakistan, two mountain divisions, the 39th Division and the 149th Division of the 13th Army, and five brigades, together with the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the 21st Army, they drove into the Bahawalpur region of Pakistan and reorganized them. They formed a southern attack group with three ordinary infantry divisions in southern Pakistan, with Major General Tang Jinwu, the commander of the 13th Army.

At the same time, the 52nd and 53rd Mountain Divisions, which entered Pakistan in advance, also quietly moved to the Lahore area of ​​Punjab Province, Pakistan. The elite 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and 1st Armored Division of the 2nd Badian Army stationed in this area, as well as the 35th Infantry Division of the 1st Badian Army and the 8th Infantry Division of the 30th Army, formed an Eastern Attack Group, with the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Army, General Mohamed Ashke Pervez as the commander-in-chief.

When the two major attack groups of the China-Pakistan coalition forces were in place, it was Christmas in 2021, so China-Pakistan named this joint attack the Christmas offensive.

The southern attack group of the China-Pakistan coalition forces took the lead in launching the attack. With the support of the Air Force, the southern attack group was led by the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the 21st Army, and cooperated with the two Destroyer UAV special battalions of the Aviation Brigade of the 13th Army, tore open the fragile defense line of the Indian army, and soon crossed the Tar Desert on the Pakistan-Indian border and entered Rajasthan, India. Since the Indian army did not expect that the China-Pakistan army would enter this desert area and launch an attack, only 4 ordinary infantry divisions were deployed in this area.

Faced with the fierce offensives of the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, most of the 18th Infantry Division and 24th Infantry Division deployed by the Indian army in Bikaner were wiped out before they could last until five hours. These two ordinary infantry divisions in the Indian army had no power to fight back at all in the face of the PLA's three-dimensional air-ground attack. Without an efficient air defense missile system like the Avengers, the Indian army's air defense system greatly reduced the threat to the Destroyer UAV. When the J-10C fighter destroyed the Indian army's radar facilities in the Bikaner area, the Destroyer UAV was like entering a no-manned land, attacking those Indian army's heavy weapon positions and biological armored forces that had been reconnaissed in advance.

Therefore, when the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade of the People's Liberation Army rushed over, the Indian army's heavy weapons and armored forces had almost been lost, and the remaining infantry positions were simply a piece of cake for the two main armored forces of the People's Liberation Army, the two main armored forces of the 21st Army.

At the same time, within less than an hour of the battle in the south, the eastern China-Pakistan attack group also launched a full-scale attack on the Punjab state of India. The 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army, together with the elite 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division in the 2nd Army of the Pakistan Army, attacked at the same time. On the nearly 50-kilometer front, the China-Pakistan coalition forces broke through the first line of defense of the Indian Army, composed of the 26th Infantry Division and the 29th Infantry Division, and defeated the two Indian border garrison infantry divisions.

The Pakistani army concentrated a J-10P squadron and a JF-11 squadron to provide air cover for the eastern attack group and attack combat missions against the Indian army's ground radar. The F-16C/D fighter jets of an Indian army took off in a hurry to fight, but most of them were destroyed in less than half an hour. The remaining fighter jets had to flee in a hurry. After clearing the air threat, the Pakistani army's J-10P fighter jets began to look for Indian ground radar to attack, leading the way for the two Pakistani destroyer unmanned attack aircraft squadrons.

Soon, the Pakistani Air Force completed this combat mission. The two Destroyer UAVs of the Pakistani Army cooperated with the Pakistani Army's 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and 1st Armored Division to launch a strong attack on the Indian Army's 15th Infantry Division, 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Infantry Brigade, which were stationed in the important town of Amritsar, Punjab. At the same time, the 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army attacked the 9th Infantry Division of the Indian Army in Berdala. Although the Indian army fought back to the death, the China-Pakistan coalition was prepared this time and had already reconnaissed the Indian army's main force deployment and heavy weapon positions.

The Pakistani Air Force is responsible for air security protection, while the Destroyer UAV is responsible for clearing the various heavy weapon positions and armored forces of the Indian Army, and the armored forces are responsible for cleaning the Indian ground forces. Although the China-Pakistan Army and the Air Force are unable to use the theater joint combat tactical system due to the large equipment differences, the Destroyer UAV, the air sharp knife unit, has the ability to jointly combat, which has effectively eliminated most of the threats of Indian heavy weapons for the ground forces, allowing the ground forces to quickly tear open the Indian army's heavy defense in Punjab.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the 52nd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army captured Berdala. Most of the 9th Infantry Division of the Indian Army were injured and captured, and only about one regiment fled. It can be said that after this battle, the 9th Infantry Division of the Indian Army no longer existed.

After four hours of fierce fighting, the 14th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Armored Division of the Pakistani Army completely annihilated the 23rd Armored Brigade and the 55th Marx Infantry Brigade, defeated the 15th Infantry Division of the Indian Army and occupied the important town of Amritsar.

In this way, in less than 6 hours, the main forces of the two major attack groups of China and Pakistan fully entered Punjab and Rajasthan in India, and established new advance bases in Amritsar and Bikaner respectively. Hundreds of thousands of China-Pakistan coalition forces entered India's territory.

For the top leaders of the Indian army, this bad news is more difficult to accept and terrify than the destruction of the eastern Indian fleet, because it means that China and Pakistan declare war on the Indian army in a comprehensive manner. Although large-scale battles broke out between China, India, India, India, Pakistan, the Chinese and Pakistani troops have not launched a full-scale attack on Indian territory for a long time, which makes the top leaders of the Indian army, who have been defeated, still have a sense of luck. However, at the beginning of the China-Pakistan Christmas offensive, the fantasy of the top leaders of the Indian army was completely shattered.

The combat power and attack power of the two armies of China and Pakistan shocked the top leaders of the Indian army. Within 6 hours, the Indian army had lost 6 infantry divisions and 2 brigades. Although these were not the most elite troops of the Indian army, they could be deployed in the border areas as defensive forces. They were already considered relatively good troops among the infantry divisions. However, such troops, facing the attacks of the People's Liberation Army and the Pakistani army, basically had no power to fight back and were completely in a passive state of being beaten.

Although the Indian army has made quite high estimates of the People's Liberation Army, from the actual combat effectiveness, the previous estimates were still too conservative. Now it is basically certain that except for a few mechanized infantry divisions with full American equipment, other Indian troops do not have the ability to compete with the People's Liberation Army head-on. Although this bloody conclusion makes the top leaders of the Indian army quite uncomfortable, the huge gap is in front of everyone and the top leaders of the Indian army are not allowed to refuse to admit it.

At this time, the top leaders of the Indian army began to truly regret provoking these two gods of killing who could not be provoked.

However, it is too late to wake up now. It is only more than 400 kilometers from Bikaner and Amritsar to New Delhi. This time, no one in the top Indian army would believe that the Chinese and Pakistani troops would show mercy and not capture New Delhi, a very politically significant city, because this war was caused by the Indian and US troops' tacit war invasion of Pakistan.

Therefore, on the one hand, they tried their best to ask for help from the US military, and on the other hand, they mobilized elite troops to urgently rush to the capital area. Even the elite American mechanized infantry divisions that were originally sent to the east to encircle and suppress the People's Liberation Army in southern Tibet have now canceled their original combat missions and braved the cold and urgently returned to the capital New Delhi.

Because judging from the latest satellite maps provided by the US military, the number of Chinese and Pakistani troops gathered in Amritsar and Bikaner indicates that they will never give up if they only occupy these two places.

Unexpectedly, after a brief rest for several hours, the two major attack groups of China and Pakistan began new military operations.

First, after the main forces of the China-Pakistan southern attack group entered Bikaner and established a stable forward base, they left a infantry division of the Pakistani army to defend the rear route of Bikaner area, and then the main force divided the troops to attack. The two infantry divisions of the Pakistani army went south to attack Parotti and Nagor areas in Rajasthan, attempting to expand the defense area of ​​the China-Pakistan coalition Bican advance base to ensure the safety of the rear route.

The main force of the PLA, the 13th Army and the remaining 21st Army, continued to attack eastward. Among them, the 61st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Armored Brigade, which had just rested and replenished ammunition and oil, continued to act as the vanguard and launched a new offensive eastward. They were unstoppable along the way, and they successively won the important stronghold of Rajasthan, Siegel and the capital Jaipur, within 2 days. In this way, the PLA's southern attack group could point to New Delhi one by one, from Jaipur to New Delhi, the capital of India, with a good transportation line connecting the two places. If there is no obstacle, the PLA can reach New Delhi in 4 hours!

The eastern attack group concentrated its forces to continue to march southeastward and began to attack Jalandar and Ludhiana. On this line, the Indian army defended heavily and deployed the 40th Artillery Division, the heavy artillery unit and the 1st Armored Division in Jalandar. In addition to the 14th Infantry Division and the 612th Missile Air Defense Brigade, the 14th Armored Brigade, and a newly formed Apache Continental Aviation Regiment, it can be said that it has a very strong strength.

However, this time it was replaced by the 52nd Mountain Division and the 53rd Mountain Division of the People's Liberation Army as the main attackers. After software adjustments, the Pakistani army's Destroyer UAV was integrated with the PLA's two mountain divisions. After taking the lead in sending special operations troops to destroy the Indian Army's 612th Missile Air Defense Brigade, the 40th Artillery Division and the 1st Armored Division of the Indian Army became targets of the Destroyer UAV. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, the PLA captured two important strongholds, Jalandar and Ludhiana, and completely defeated the main force of the defending Indian Army's 2nd Army!

After the news came out, New Delhi fell into great panic!
