Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

"Punjab" means "Land of Five Rivers", and the Chenab River is one of the five big rivers, with fast flowing water and high military value.

Fang Xianyang led the troops to station at a place fifty kilometers west of the Chenab River, and then gathered the battalion commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion and various chief officers for a meeting.

Fang Xianyang first said at the meeting: "Now we are facing the Chenab River in India. If we want to attack Delhi, we must cross this river."

Fang Xianyang laughed heartily when he said this, and continued: "A small river will definitely not be able to stop us. We have two ways to cross the river. The first is to build bridges on the river. The battalion has field bridge erection vehicles, which are capable of bridge erection tasks."

"The second is to directly let the tk-96 main battle tank and the bz-96 infantry fighting vehicle cross the river. These two types of tanks and armored vehicles have good floating capabilities."

"Both of these two river crossing methods have certain requirements on the hydrological conditions of the river. Among them, bridge construction requires that the width of the river cannot exceed the bridge construction length of the field bridge construction vehicle, and floating crossing requires that the water flow speed not exceed the allowable limit."

"So the task of the reconnaissance battalion is to reconnaissance the hydrological conditions of the river, determine the water flow speed and the width of the river in different sections of the river, while reconnaissance of the hydrological conditions, it is also necessary to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy's defense on the east bank of the Chenab River. Well, that’s all I want to say, I’ll give you a day for the reconnaissance battalion to complete the reconnaissance mission.”

After Fang Xianyang gave the order, the reconnaissance battalion set off. After the reconnaissance battalion set off, the staff divided the 100-kilometer-wide river facing the plateau combat division into groups every ten kilometers and numbered them, so that it was more convenient to indicate the target. .

Another day later, on September 9, the reconnaissance battalion came back with the reconnaissance results and reported to the staff. The staff summarized the reconnaissance results and reported to Fang Xianyang.

The reconnaissance results showed that from the No. [-] to No. [-] river sections, the width of the river did not exceed the bridge length of the field bridging vehicle, but only the water flow speed of the No. [-] river section was below the allowable floating speed of the two types of armored vehicles.

Fang Xianyang read the report several times and found that there was no defense situation of the enemy army on the other side of the river, so he couldn't help asking: "Why is there no defense situation of the enemy army on the east bank of the river?"

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Because of time constraints, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion did not cross the river for reconnaissance. They only used binoculars on the west bank of the river to reconnaissance the east bank, but they did not find the enemy's fortifications."

Fang Xianyang was startled, and said, "Didn't find the enemy's fortifications? What's going on?"

The staff officer said: "I don't know, maybe the enemy didn't deploy fortifications at all, or the fortifications deployed by the enemy were extremely hidden. We couldn't find it. The reconnaissance battalion was already preparing to cross the river for reconnaissance, but the number of reconnaissance battalions was too small, and the river was in danger. It is relatively wide, so it is difficult for us to conduct reconnaissance on every section of the river."

Fang Xianyang nodded, and said: "I decided to cross the river on the [-]th section, using tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to float across the river, so I ordered the reconnaissance battalion to conduct reconnaissance on the east side of the [-]th section tonight."

The staff officer agreed, turned around and went out to convey the order. The scout battalion immediately crossed the river to carry out reconnaissance. Early the next morning, the scouts completed the reconnaissance and reported the reconnaissance results to the staff department, which in turn reported the results to Fang Xianyang.

Staff officer Fang Xianyang said: "Our scouts found a large number of enemy barracks on the east bank of the No. [-] river section. There are many enemy soldiers in the barracks. The number is estimated to be around [-]. A circular defensive position has been built outside the barracks."

Fang Xianyang nodded, and then asked: "Does the enemy have heavy equipment?"

The staff officer shook his head and said, "The scouts did not find heavy equipment such as armored vehicles."

Fang Xianyang said with a smile: "Without heavy equipment, there is nothing to worry about. Is the composition of the enemy army clear? Are they British or Indian?"

The staff officer hesitated for a moment and said: "The scouts reported that the enemy on the opposite side is very strange, neither British nor Indian."

Fang Xianyang burst out laughing and said, "Neither British nor Indian? What do you mean? Could it be that the enemy army is Chinese?"

The staff officer said: "The scouts said this. Those people look very similar to Indians, but there are some differences in some details. The most obvious point is that these people all have long hair, and many of them have long hair. with a beard."

Fang Xianyang's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a startled voice, "With long hair and beard? Could it be that they are Sikhs?"

The staff officer nodded and said, "That's what I guessed too."

Fang Xianyang stood up from behind the table and said, "The Sikhs are brave and good at fighting. How did the British get them here?"

The staff officer didn't answer, Fang Xianyang hurriedly said: "Go and inform all the soldiers that our enemy is the Sikhs, they are more difficult to deal with than the British and Indians. I will report this news to Commander Lin."

The staff officer ran out in a hurry, Fang Xianyang picked up the communicator to contact Lin Yuan, and said directly: "Report to Commander Lin, we found Sikhs when we marched, and the British formed an army of Sikhs, and they are now opposite us .”

Lin Yuan was surprised when he heard the news, and couldn't help but said, "Why did the Sikhs get involved?"

Fang Xianyang said: "I think the Sikhs must have been bewitched by the British. Commander Lin, what should we do now? Are we marching according to the original plan?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then replied loudly: "According to the original plan to attack, don't be lenient when dealing with the Sikhs. Those who surrender will be treated preferentially, and those who will not surrender will be shot immediately."

Fang Xianyang said in surprise: "Shuai Lin, aren't we sending a mission to talk to the Sikh leaders?"

Lin Yuan sneered: "In Finland and Bangalore, my missions were treated rudely. I can no longer send missions. You can subdue the Sikhs first."

Fang Xianyang said loudly: "Commander Lin, don't worry, the Sikhs are tough, but we are stronger than the Sikhs!"

Lin Yuan said "OK" a few times, then turned off the communicator, and Fang Xianyang immediately ordered his subordinates to attack across the board on the next day, September 9th, across the No. 13 river section, and head straight for the enemy camp.

In the early hours of September 9, the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the 13st Plateau Combat Division began the final preparations before departure. The buoys were installed one after another. At 61:8 in the morning, when the sky was bright, a regiment of armored vehicles took the lead in crossing the river , After 10 minutes, he set foot on the ground on the east bank of the river.

(To explain, the designation of the Plateau Combat Division is "61st Division". The "60th Division" mentioned in the previous chapters is a typo, and "60th Division" is an airborne division. Readers - 142216023)
