Chapter 254: Unstoppable? Falling into a trap?
Boom boom boom …
After destroying another large minefield.
The vanguard troops of the 30th Division of the Indian Army have approached the city of Shillong. The Indian Army hates this former air force base to the core.
If the Shillong Air Force had not rebelled, the Indian Air Force would not have suffered such a severe blow.
However, they did not notice that as the battle line lengthened, the 30th Division's heavy firepower ammunition stock was running low, with only about 6.8 bases left.
The 26th Division, about 42 kilometers behind the 30th Division, only had 8.7 bases of heavy firepower ammunition left.
Their supplies are now piled up at the 21st Division guarding the west exit defense line.
The reason for this situation is that the Assam division destroyed many roads and railways, and there are no rivers connecting them, so supplies can only be stopped in the rear.
Although Vichy asked them to save ammunition, faced with the dense minefields around them, they could only use rocket launchers and artillery shells to clear the way, otherwise there would be no way to complete the offensive mission within the scheduled time.
At this time, the 30th Division was 280 kilometers away from the Xikou Defense Line.
Given the current traffic conditions in Assam, even a specially designed armored transport vehicle would need at least a dozen hours to travel the 280 kilometers with almost no roads.
Just as Vichy was urging the rear to quickly provide supplies to the front-line troops.
Not far from Fukou Town around the Xikou Defense Line, is the Fukou Base deep underground.
Although the Indian Army's engineering corps was already clearing mines, the speed was obviously very slow. After all, the minefields were densely spread over more than 400 square kilometers of land. The Indian Army had actually only cleared out a safe passage, and there was no time to clear other places.
The six battalions (3,000 troops) hidden in the base, under the cover of night, quietly approached the western defense line.
The super load-bearing capacity brought by the exoskeleton armor allows a squad of new human soldiers (10 people) to be equipped with 4 100mm caliber rocket launchers (imitating 107 rocket launchers) and 40 rockets.
The new human soldiers, who were almost invisible, quickly appeared around the 21st Division of the Indian Army.
The Indian army, unaware of the danger, was still busy transporting ammunition and supplies.
Next second.
1,200 rockets flew in from all directions.
Inside the radar monitoring armored vehicle of the Tianzhu Army, a radar soldier stared at the radar signal monitoring screen in amazement. The dense dots on it made him sweat coldly: "Enemy attack!..."
The radar soldier pressed the air raid alarm in panic.
But it was too late.
Waiting for the moment when the air raid alarm sounds.
Boom, boom, boom... Countless rockets hit the positions of the 21st Division, especially the transport vehicles that were the focus of attention, which were hit by more than 400 rockets.
The violent explosion was accompanied by screams.
However, a second wave of rockets soon arrived.
It was not until the third wave of rockets that the new human soldiers quickly retreated.
Just when the remnants of the 21st Division were suffering from heavy bombing.
Hundreds of large drones flew at an extremely low altitude at midnight, and then dropped large pieces of small objects around the western defense line.
These dark green little things are only the size of a fist. Once they fall to the ground, they quickly burrow into the ground. Their dark green surface begins to release fungi that corrode the ground, making it easier for the sphere to drill holes.
Because the 21st Division was blown to pieces and the sentries were eliminated, they were still unaware of the changes around them.
Wait for more than half an hour.
Those dark green spheres had already drilled 20 to 30 centimeters deep , with only some loose soil left on the surface.
And those dark green surface artificial tissues can finally retire. They quickly decompose themselves and turn into ordinary small-molecule organic matter.
After the dark green surface decomposed, only a mine remained inside the sphere.
In other words, in less than half an hour, the Siliguri Corps successfully laid tens of thousands of mines around the 21st Division of the Indian Army.
Such mine-laying operations were carried out almost simultaneously on the routes that had been cleared by the Indian army previously.
…
A suburb of the city of Burnia.
Inside the front-line command post of the Indian Army.
After hearing the report, Vichy stared at the head of the reconnaissance department angrily: "Didn't you confirm that there were no Assam rebels around the West Pass defense line? Why did a rebel suddenly appear?"
“…” The head of the reconnaissance department also looked depressed at this time.
He had previously used reconnaissance planes and risked losses by sending some scouts to the towns and villages around Xikou for reconnaissance, but indeed no one was found.
Shah Abad frowned and said, "General, it seems that there must be an underground base of the Assam rebels near the western defense line. We must remove this nail."
Wei Xi clenched the ballpoint pen in his hand and said: "Let the 23rd Garrison Division go to the west defense line as soon as possible to take over the mission of the 21st Garrison Division."
"yes."
"Hold the front-line troops to stop advancing and build defensive positions on the spot."
"yes."
The troubled Vichy then ordered: "Let the Air Force cover the transport planes to the front line..."
Boom boom boom…
The violent explosion caused Vichy to fall to the ground immediately.
But Shah Abad's face changed drastically: "This direction? Not good! Purnia Airport..."
Ring, ring, ring... The communicator immediately picked up the microphone: "This is the front-line command center... "
Soon, the communicator's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He reported to Vichy in horror: "General, the Burnia Airport was attacked by the rebels' drones. All the planes, ammunition depots, and fuel depots were destroyed."
"Huff, huff..." Vichy only felt a heartache.
Shah Abad roared, "Impossible! We have two sets of electromagnetic interference equipment imported from Europe, which are specially designed to deal with drones. How could we be successfully attacked by the rebel drones?"
The communicator didn't know how to answer. He felt like crying but had no tears. How could a small soldier like him know such a thing?
Obviously, the Tianzhu army did not know that the drones produced by the Sapiens company used biochips and biosensors, and their computing power was sufficient to handle some simple tasks.
It does not require corrections from the satellite navigation system and ground backend personnel like conventional drones, and the biochip itself has super immunity to electromagnetic interference.
Not to mention the electromagnetic interference equipment imported from Europe, even the electromagnetic interference equipment from America has no effect.
The front-line support airport and the logistics base of the western defense line were destroyed one after another.
These situations made Vichy feel horrified. After taking a breath, he immediately ordered: "Sha! Immediately let the front-line troops return to Siliguri City."
"What?" Shah Abad, who was still wondering why the drone jammer didn't work, was stunned. Then he said anxiously:
"General! Retreat now, Delhi..."
However, Vichy, who had already sensed a huge crisis, said firmly: "Enough! All the responsibility is mine. Immediately convey my order and have them withdraw to Siliguri City tomorrow."
"...Yes!" Shah Abad also calmed down.
Now there are big problems with supplies and fighter planes. If the four field divisions are not withdrawn, once they lose supplies, they will be in danger.
It was because of this that Vichy ordered an immediate retreat.
If these four field divisions are lost, the northeastern part of India will not only lose the power to counterattack in a short period of time, but even the defensive power will be seriously insufficient.
