Chapter 1047: Being beaten back one after another
"Da Da Da~~~"
The first line of defense.
The machine gunner of the Nepalese army operated the machine gun and fired at the Indian army attacking below.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!~~~"
The Nepalese soldiers, holding the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, were also shooting.
The firepower was quite fierce.
The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the battlefield, and flames of war and thick smoke could be seen everywhere.
There were wooden-handled grenades next to the Nepalese soldiers, but the wooden-handled grenades could not be used at this time. They had to get close to about 30 meters before throwing grenades to increase firepower.
Now the Indian army is still two or three hundred meters away from the position.
The Indian attacking troops dispersed and kept shooting upwards.
The advance was very slow, after all, the upward attack itself was very disadvantageous.
The Indian artillery was providing fire support.
But they were also attacked by the Nepalese artillery.
This is the sixth wave of attack organized by the Indian army in the past few days.
So far, the Indian army has not been able to capture the first line of defense.
In this kind of mountain attack, the attacking troops cannot have too many people. If there are too many people, they will be targets, and the casualties will be very heavy.
Finally, the Indian army has attacked to a distance of about 30 meters.
The Nepalese soldiers picked up the wooden-handled grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it down.
Boom boom boom~~~
The grenade exploded, producing huge lethality!
The Indian army's offensive slowed down, and some Indian soldiers even retreated.
The Indian commander held a telescope and saw that his attack was repelled, and he couldn't help but punched the mound in front with his fist.
Every time the attack was at the end, it was forcibly repelled, and all the previous efforts were wasted.
"Da Da Da~~~" The machine gunner of the Nepalese army operated the Type 56 machine gun to fire.
Shoot as many Indian soldiers as possible. Shoot as many Indian soldiers as possible.
The Nepalese army is very hostile to the Indian army. From childhood to adulthood, they have been told that India used to oppress and enslave them!
Now fighting on the battlefield, naturally, they fight to death, without mercy.
The arsenal of Banibird was seized, so that the Nepalese army had no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
As the gunfire stopped completely, the soldiers of the Nepalese army were eating lunch in the trenches. The hot meals made the soldiers eat with 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 shone from west to east, and the soldiers would be affected by the sunlight when they looked up when attacking.
Behind the defense line, transport trucks came with weapons and ammunition, including bullets, shells, grenades, and of course compressed biscuits and canned food.
On the second and third lines of defense, the Nepalese soldiers continued to strengthen the defensive offensive. If the first line of defense could not hold up, the Nepalese 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 up again, it would retreat to the third line of defense.
The soldiers took bags, filled the bags with soil, and then piled them in front.
The officers were inspecting the construction of fortifications, and some even built reinforced concrete and built bunkers.
Of course, some natural places are used.
Transport vehicles transport weapons, ammunition, and building materials.
Mutogar, on the north bank of the Ganges, is only 20 kilometers away from Karnal and is a military stronghold.
A train arrived at the Mutogar railway station.
The logistics staff were moving boxes from the train, one box after another. These included guns, bullets, shells, and grenades.
The logistics staff moved the boxes onto the carts, which then carried the boxes to the transport trucks, and some were even moved directly onto helicopters.
These weapons and ammunition were either to be transported to Karnal or to Banipat.
After unloading everything, the train left the railway station.
Wars are fought with logistics.
Various weapons, ammunition, and supplies are continuously transported to the battlefield.
Without logistical support, the battlefield cannot be fought at all.
Nepal's conversion of the reserve army into a regular army is equivalent to expanding its troops by one million in a short period of time. These reserve troops will be deployed on the battlefield after a short period of military training.
In just three months, Nepal had 1.4 million troops.
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 supplemented with pilots and aircraft.
Not long after, another train arrived, which was carrying daily necessities, including military uniforms, military shoes, bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, compressed biscuits, canned food, etc.
The logistics staff began to unload the goods, which would soon be sent to the front battlefield.
The Nepalese army was mainly deployed along the Ganges defense line.
Originally, there were some traffic bridges on the Ganges, but when the war broke out, these bridges were blown up.
To cross the river, ships were needed, and the ships had long been controlled.
The ships were also the focus of reconnaissance. Not only were there space reconnaissance satellites for reconnaissance, but there were also aerial reconnaissance aircraft for reconnaissance, and the watchtowers on the high ground were also monitoring.
It was almost impossible to organize a large number of ships to launch an offensive without anyone noticing.
Of course, the Ganges defense line was nearly 1,500 kilometers long, and it was impossible to send troops to watch every position, but there were troops watching the main positions, and once signs were found, corresponding measures would 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 place to launch a ground attack is the Karnar area, because the river is wide and narrow, 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.
The geographical location is there, and both sides know that Karnar is also a place that must be fought for by military strategists. The Indian army has built it into a military town.
Similarly, the Nepalese army has also built Mutogar into a military town. Once it is captured, it almost means that Nepal and Khalistan are separated and cannot form a whole.
It was dark.
The Nepalese soldiers in the mountains were responsible for observation with night vision goggles, and through night vision observation equipment, they prevented the Indian army from launching a night attack.
The Nepalese soldiers slept in their clothes. The battlefield conditions were simple and they could not sleep in the room. The soldiers slept in the trenches in their military uniforms.
If the Indian army launched a night battle, the Nepalese soldiers could shoot at the first time.
The cruel side of the current offensive and defensive war is disadvantageous to the attacker because with the development of technology, it is not easy to sneak attack at night and it is easy to be discovered.
The Indian army sent troops to attack the Nepalese army, but they were discovered.
The Nepalese army turned on their lights, and as soon as the gunshots rang out, the Nepalese soldiers woke up and picked up their guns to shoot at the people below.
Even if the lights were knocked out, the Nepalese army fired flares, making the battlefield as bright as day.
This shattered the Indian army's intention to attack at night, and they finally withdrew in disgrace.
This made the Indian army commander extremely annoyed.
What made the Indian army commander even more difficult was that the weather was not good and it rained.
Although it was only a drizzle, rain was not conducive to combat, especially this kind of mountain attack. The original mountains would become muddy due to rain, making it difficult to move forward, and fighting in the rain would also make soldiers prone to illness.
