Chapter 236: Mountain Flood (Part 2)
India.
Siliguri City, the core city of the Siliguri Corridor.
This is the throat of India and its strategic position is very important. India has heavily guarded this long and narrow corridor.
So how narrow and long is this so-called Siliguri Corridor?
It can be described like this: India as a whole is like a bull, the seven states of Assam are the bull's head, Siliguri is the neck, and this one is a chicken neck.
The Siliguri Corridor is about 160 to 170 kilometers long, but the narrowest section is only 20 kilometers wide.
The city of Siliguri is the core city of this corridor. Once problems occur here, the geographical connection between the main area of India and the northeast region will be completely severed.
At this time, in the military camp near Siliguri City, about 4.3 kilometers west.
A vast swarm of drones is carrying out precision bombing here.
The horrific explosion destroyed the vehicles, armored vehicles, communication stations, fuel depots, ammunition .
Boom boom boom…
The dozen or so drones whizzing past were like vultures hovering in the air.
"Huff, huff...Damn it! Where do the enemies come from?" Colonel Della, who was hiding in the bunker, and several frightened subordinates, could only rely on the only pistol in his hand.
As for the other soldiers, they had already become headless flies. In the first wave of attacks, the weapons warehouse was completely covered by thermite and napalm bombs carried by drones, and no one dared to show up to put out the fire.
Only some sentinels and soldiers in guard battalions are equipped with assault rifles.
The problem is that assault rifles simply aren't very effective against drones.
Della looked at the small pistol in his hand and the lively scene outside, and he and several of his subordinates stared at each other for a few minutes, then he decisively backed down.
The bombing lasted for more than twenty minutes.
The camp, which had once been majestic, had now become a ruin, with mechanical wreckage everywhere, thick smoke, and soldiers wailing.
An entire mountain division, nearly a quarter of its manpower, was wiped out. What was even more terrifying was the loss of weapons and equipment.
Modern warfare is not the same as that of the First World War. Without heavy weapons and air defense capabilities, there is basically no way to fight a frontal battle.
Three battalions of new humans who had been lurking nearby quickly pressed towards the camp the moment the drone bombing ended.
Because some of the drones carried smoke bombs, the camp was filled with smoke at this time.
The Indian soldiers, who had not yet recovered from the bombing, were unable to organize any resistance.
In the bunker, Della, wearing a gas mask, heard the explosions outside stop before he carefully walked out of the bunker's concrete fortifications.
Suddenly his eyes widened.
Not far away, more than a dozen of my own people fell down inexplicably. A thought subconsciously emerged in my mind: Is the air poisonous?
However, he saw that something seemed to be moving in the mist, because the mist had some outlines pushed away by invisible things.
He raised the pistol tremblingly.
Bang! A bloody hole appeared on Della's forehead, and he fell down with his eyes open.
Several subordinates were frightened by this scene and ran back to the bunker shouting.
However, before they had taken a few steps, they felt their bodies getting heavier and fell to the flat ground five or six meters away from the shelter.
In less than half an hour, the entire camp was completely cleared.
…
at the same time.
More than a dozen armed helicopters seized from Shillong Airport also appeared at the western end of the Siliguri Corridor, less than 20 kilometers west of Siliguri City.
Emergency-trained pilots use bio-retinal aids to see pheromone and magnetic field markers on the ground.
Without hesitation, press the switch on the rocket launch nest.
In an instant.
A dozen rockets blew a highway bridge to pieces.
Boom! The collapsed reinforced concrete blocks fell off the bridge and hit the river heavily.
Another nearby railway bridge also did not escape the rocket's damage.
A dozen armed helicopters dumped all their ammunition.
As for the damage caused, the railways and roads not far from Siliguri were also plowed several times by the bombs.
The railway, which was more than 50 kilometers long, was blown to pieces.
Huge holes were blown out on the road surface, and the highway bridge and railway bridge were directly smashed to pieces.
…
In the cities and towns of the Siliguri Corridor.
The Field Service Department used a hidden plan that had been prepared long ago to quickly pull the local population away, and those who were unwilling to go to the seven states of Assam were driven south to West Bengal.
But for the poor, they don't want to leave. Obviously they know that if they leave here, they will not be able to survive in other places.
Instead, the middle class and the small wealthy quickly fled to the south.
They can leave, but their fixed assets and gold, silver and jewelry have to stay behind.
The squadrons in charge of the cleanup work had no intention of showing mercy, as they believed the real money had to be kept.
Thanks to the advance preparation of the plan and the fact that the Field Support Department had developed a large number of secret agents in the towns and villages, the towns and villages were quickly cleared out.
On the contrary, it is more difficult to clean up the city.
The towns and villages that were emptied of population became lifeless.
In Fumen Town, the front line of the Siliguri Corridor, there are no ordinary civilians at this time, but there are still some people secretly active on these empty streets.
The 15th Squadron of the Blood Blade Special Forces and more than 200 new human soldiers from the Fumen Base were divided into small teams and were operating in this land that was 18 kilometers wide, 22 kilometers long, and covered an area of approximately 400 square kilometers.
In a piece of farmland at the forefront, Dami's team quickly pulled out the barbed wire and wooden stakes that had been hidden in a nearby village, and then used wooden stakes to nail the barbed wire around it to form a barrier.
Fortunately, it is now the dry season in South Asia, and there is basically no water in the rice fields, so it is easy to walk on them.
Dami carries a special backpack, which is a portable magnetic field radar that can observe ground activities within a range of 3 to 6 kilometers, low-altitude moving targets within a range of 12 kilometers, and medium- and high-altitude moving targets within a range of 50 kilometers.
This side has become the front line, and he doesn't want to die heroically.
After taking a look at the surrounding magnetic field conditions, he shouted again: "Get it done quickly."
"Almost there. Only 800 meters left before we connect with Team Shaxi."
After more than two hours, all the barbed wire was set up.
Then they hung some signs on the barbed wire with the words "mine" and "trap" and local language written on them.
Just behind Dami's team, another team was laying mines in full swing.
The Field Support Department had already thoroughly explored this 400 square kilometer area, and the Fumen base hidden underground nearby had prepared a large number of barbed wire and mines in advance.
Makes minefield setting work very quickly.
This operation was called the "Flash Flood Plan" because of its suddenness, which was as rapid as a flash flood.
The entire Siliguri Corridor will be designated as a first-level alert area, with various traps and fortifications deployed. In the future, there will be basically no ordinary people here, and it will be a pure military zone.
Such a long and narrow area is destined to be difficult for India to capture, unless India can borrow a passage from its two small neighbors.
The problem is that as a small hegemon in South Asia, India has a bad relationship with its surrounding neighbors, so there is basically no way around it trying to get permission to pass through.
