The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1042 Gelnar (asking for monthly pass at the end of the month)

Gurnar.

This is an important military town in India. It is located at the confluence of two rivers and controls the two rivers. On the other side of one of the rivers is Khalistan and on the other side of the other is Nepal.

The width of the two rivers is about 40 to 50 meters, and the widest part is 100 meters.

Over the years, the Indian army has built a large number of fortifications here, and various bunkers and trenches can be seen everywhere.

India has stationed an entire reorganized division of 1.5 people in Karnar.

An Indian Army reorganized division consists of 1.5 people, including a communications regiment, three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, an engineering regiment, a service battalion and a gendarmerie.

Not only that, about 120 kilometers away from Karnar is Delhi, which was originally the capital of India, the national political, economic and cultural center of India at that time, and the largest commercial center in northern India.

It is now an important military town in northern India, with 10 Indian army reorganized divisions stationed here. It also has the largest air force base and India's top three air defense firepower.

It is also the Northern Combat Command Center, coordinating and commanding more than one million troops in the area.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Indian army has mobilized and urgently expanded its forces by two million.

Here in the north, in addition to the original 500,000 regular troops, the remaining 500,000 were urgently expanded, and the reserve forces were converted into regular troops, but they only had light weapons, and mortars and the like were pitifully few.

The entire reorganized division stationed in Karnar is an elite reorganized division of the Indian Army, and the soldiers serving in it have at least three years of military experience.

Since New Year's Day, the city has been strengthening its war preparedness. After the exchange of fire, it is facing the Khalistan and Nepalese armies at the same time, with both sides shooting and artillery across the river, or engaging in air battles in the sky.

Although the battle was fierce, the casualties were not heavy.

After losing a thousand troops, they were immediately replenished with a thousand troops.

This place cannot be lost. Once it is lost, the two lines of defense will be torn apart, and the enemy's army will be able to cross the river continuously.

This is also the only place where a large-scale ground battle between the three parties is likely to break out.

The Indian army took a defensive stance on the southern, eastern, northern and northwestern fronts, and an offensive stance on the western front, intending to defeat the Pakistani army and seize the Indus Plain.

Five o'clock in the morning is the best time to sleep.

However, the soldiers on duty at the Indian army outpost still maintain a high level of vigilance.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" A sound came from the sky.

The soldier at the outpost couldn't help but look up at the sky, and then his face changed.

airplane!

This sound is from an airplane!

The sound of dozens of planes flying together!

"Alert! Alert!" the soldier who first discovered it shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the night sky.

He raised his gun and shot towards the sky. The gunshot was very loud in the quiet night, breaking the silence of the night.

The air raid sirens rang throughout Gurnar.

There were even anti-aircraft machine guns shooting into the sky, and anti-aircraft missiles being launched!
At the anti-aircraft machine gun position, the soldiers woke up in shock and operated the anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot into the sky.

“Da da da~~~Da da da~~~”

The roar of anti-aircraft machine guns filled the night sky, flames spewed out from the muzzles, and tracer bullets kept flying out.

Among the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, one out of every three bullets has a tracer bullet, which is used to determine the trajectory.

At this moment, a J-6 fighter jet swooped down.

The main weapon of the J-6 fighter is the aircraft gun, because it is a copy of the MiG-19, a front-line fighter with very weak ground attack capability. The J-19 fighter also inherits this feature.

Later, it was improved to carry the PL-2 missile, but the PL-2 could not be mounted on the inner wing forward beam, so a hanging point was added outside the auxiliary fuel tank hanging point to carry the PL-2 missile. Of course, it can also carry 50-250 kg bombs, or use the inner wing hanging point to carry the UB-8-57 rocket launcher.

At this time, one S-5K 57mm rocket after another was launched and flew towards the anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Boom~" Rockets exploded one after another at the machine gun positions. At the same time, J-7 fighters and J-7 fighters launched attacks on the Indian positions.

There was even a Tu-16 bomber that launched an attack on Indian positions.

Planes flew in from the sky, and countless bombs fell on the Indian positions.

Bombs fell to the ground and exploded.

Some Indian soldiers were unlucky and were hit directly by the bomb, and were instantly blown into meat paste with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

There were flames everywhere and screams everywhere.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns continued to fire, and anti-aircraft missiles were launched one after another.

Planes were constantly being hit in the air, exploding in mid-air or falling down with thick smoke, and the pilots had to parachute out in an emergency.

Some of these planes were painted with Nigerian army insignia, while others were painted with Kazakh army insignia.

Obviously this is not the action of a single party, but a joint military action of both parties.

"Boom~~" A bomb exploded into a building, the entire building was destroyed, flames shot up into the sky, completely illuminating half the sky.

The commander of the Indian Army division headquarters reported to the general headquarters immediately and requested air support.

Without air superiority, this war cannot be fought at all and we will be in a passive position.

The air defense positions also suffered heavy losses.

At the headquarters in Delhi, the sleeping commander-in-chief 'Rajnath' was woken up immediately.

Rajnath, born a Brahmin, studied abroad at a British military academy and then went to the United States Military Academy at West Point for further studies. He experienced many wars and once served as the commander of a mountain division. This time he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Northwest Defense Front and personally stationed in Delhi.

Rajnath immediately ordered the Air Force to take off to support Karnar.

In modern military warfare, without air superiority, ground forces will be in a passive position and vulnerable to attacks.

A newly formed division was urgently sent to support Karnal.

The importance of Gurnar is self-evident and cannot be lost.

Once Karnar is lost, the Indian army will have to prepare for ground combat on the northwest front.

This is undoubtedly contrary to the strategy formulated at the beginning.

From the very beginning, the strategy formulated by the Indian army was to implement defensive strategies on the northwest, north, east and south lines, and offensive strategies on the west line.

As long as Gernnar is not lost, there will be no large-scale ground combat on the northwest front.

As soon as the war broke out, the Indian army laid minefields along the river to prevent the Karabakh and Nepalese armies from launching ground operations.

If it's just shooting and artillery battles across the river, we have nothing to fear no matter how long the battle lasts.

But the large-scale air strikes now occurring are very unusual.

Rajnath was very worried, and the Pakistani and Nepali armies launched a ground attack at all costs.

Rajnath deployed his troops and made combat arrangements.

At this time, alarms sounded at five air force bases in Delhi, and then more than ten minutes later, planes began to take off.

There are even Su-27s and MiG-29s here, although not in large numbers.

Moreover, Delhi’s air defense forces are all on level one alert and are ready for air defense requirements.

If an enemy plane attacks, it must be shot down.

整个德里，甚至装备着有2个营的S300防空导弹系统，共有8个发射单元、32套发射系统，384枚S300防空导弹。
