The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1047: Being beaten back
"Da da da~~~"

The first line of defense.

The Nepalese soldier machine gunner operated the machine gun and fired at the Indian troops attacking below.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!~~~"

Nepalese soldiers, holding Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, were also firing.

The firepower is quite strong.

The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the battlefield, flames of war could be seen everywhere, and thick smoke billowed.

There are wooden-handled grenades next to the Nepalese soldiers, but the wooden-handled grenades cannot be used at this time. They have to get about 30 meters close before throwing grenades to increase firepower.

The Indian army is now two or three hundred meters away from the position.

The Indian attacking forces dispersed and continued to fire upwards.

The progress was very slow, after all, attacking from above was inherently disadvantageous.

The Indian army's artillery is providing fire support.

But they also came under fire from the Nepalese army.

This is the sixth wave of attacks organized by the Indian army in recent days.

So far, Indian troops have not been able to capture the first line of defense.

In this kind of mountain siege, the attacking force cannot have too many people. If there are too many people, they will become targets and the casualties will be very heavy.

Finally, the Indian army had attacked to a distance of about 30 meters.

The Nepalese soldier picked up the wooden-handled grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it downwards.

Boom boom boom~~~
The grenade exploded, causing huge damage!

The Indian army's offensive slowed down, and some Indian soldiers even retreated.

The Indian commander was holding a telescope and saw that his attack was repelled. He couldn't help but hit the mound in front of him with his fist.

Every time we attacked to the very end, we were beaten back and all our efforts were wasted.

"Da da da~~~" The machine gunner of the Nepalese army operated the Type 56 machine gun to fire.

Shoot and kill as many Indian soldiers as possible.

The Nepalese army is very hostile to the Indian army. From childhood to adulthood, they have been told about the oppression and enslavement that India had inflicted on them in the past!
Nowadays, when fighting on the battlefield, people fight to the death without showing any mercy.

The arsenal of Banibird was seized, leaving the Nigerian army with no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

As the gunfire completely stopped, the Nigerian soldiers ate lunch in the trenches. The hot meals made the soldiers eat them in big mouthfuls.

On the other side, the retreating Indian troops were resting.

In the afternoon, the Indian army did not launch an attack because the sun shines from west to east, and the soldiers would be affected by the sunlight if they looked up when attacking.

Behind the defense line, transport trucks came loaded with weapons and ammunition, including bullets, artillery shells, grenades, and of course compressed biscuits and canned food.

The second line of defense, the third line of defense, the Nigerian soldiers continued to strengthen their defensive offensive. If the first line of defense could not hold, the Nigerian army would abandon the first line of defense and retreat to the second line of defense. If the second line of defense could not hold, they would retreat to the third line of defense.

The soldiers took bags, filled them with soil, and piled them in front.

The officers were inspecting the construction of fortifications, some of which were even built with reinforced concrete and bunkers.

Of course, some natural places are utilized.

Transport vehicles arrived carrying weapons, ammunition, and construction materials.

Muttogarh, located on the north bank of the Ganges, is only 20 kilometers away from Karnar and is an important military town.

A train arrives at Muttogarh railway station.

The logistics staff were moving boxes from the train, one box after another, containing guns, bullets, artillery shells and grenades.

The logistics staff moved the boxes onto carts, which then carried the boxes to transport trucks, or even directly onto helicopters.

These weapons and ammunition were to be either transported to Karnal or to Banipat.

After everything was unloaded, the train left the railway station.

When fighting a war, what matters is logistics.

Various weapons, ammunition and supplies were continuously transported to the battlefield.

Without logistical support, the battle cannot be fought.

Nepal's transformation of its reserve army into a regular army is equivalent to expanding its military by one million in a short period of time. These reserve troops will be deployed to the battlefield after a short period of military training.

In just three months, Nepal had an army of 140 million.

Not only the army, but also the air force was selected to receive training. After all, the air force suffered heavy losses and had to be replenished with pilots and aircraft.

Not long after, another train arrived, this train was carrying daily necessities, including military uniforms, military shoes, bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, as well as compressed biscuits, canned food, etc.

Logistics staff began unloading the goods, which would soon be sent to the front battlefield.

The Nepalese army is mainly deployed along the Ganges defense line.

Originally there were some transportation bridges across the Ganges, but when the war broke out, these bridges were blown up.

To cross the river, you need boats, but the boats had already been controlled.

Ships are also key reconnaissance targets. Not only are they monitored by space reconnaissance satellites, but they are also monitored by aerial reconnaissance aircraft, and by watchtowers on high ground.

It is almost impossible to organize a large number of ships to launch an offensive without anyone noticing.

Of course, the Ganges defense line is nearly 1500 kilometers long, and it is impossible to station troops to guard every location, but there are troops watching the main locations, and once any signs are found, corresponding measures will be taken.

The Nepalese army was also on guard against the Indian army's use of paratroopers to land, and radars were constantly used to monitor the Indian air force airports and the air, and strict air defense measures were taken.

For the Nepalese army, the most suitable area for launching a ground offensive is the Karnar area because the river is wide, the riverbed has good geological conditions, and the water is relatively shallow.

For the Indian army, it is also the most suitable place to attack the Nepalese army.

Given the geographical location, both sides knew that Karnar was a strategically located place, and the Indian army built it into a strong military town.

Similarly, the Nepalese army has built Mutogarh into a strong military town. Once it is captured, it will almost mean that Nepal and Khalistan will be separated and unable to form a whole.

It was getting dark.

The Nepalese soldiers in charge of observation on the mountain were wearing night vision goggles and using the night vision observation equipment to prevent the Indian army from launching night attacks.

The Nigerian soldiers slept in their clothes. The conditions on the battlefield were so poor that it was impossible to sleep in the rooms, so the soldiers slept in the trenches in their military uniforms.

If the Indian army launches a night battle, the Nepalese soldiers can open fire at the first opportunity.

The cruel side of today's offensive and defensive wars is that, with the development of technology, it is not easy to launch a sneak attack at night and it is easy to be discovered.

The Indian army sent troops to attack the Nepalese army, but was discovered.

The Nepalese soldiers turned on their lights and heard gunshots. They woke up one after another, picked up their guns and started shooting at the people below.

Even though the lights were knocked out, the Nepalese army fired flares, making the battlefield as bright as day.

This shattered the Indian army's intention of a night attack, and they eventually withdrew in disgrace.

This made the Indian commander extremely annoyed.

What made the Indian commander even more troublesome was that the weather was not good and it started raining.

Although it was just a drizzle, rain was not conducive to combat, especially this kind of mountain attack. The original mountains would become muddy due to the rain, making it difficult to move forward. Fighting in the rain would also make soldiers prone to illness.
