Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 121 Special Forces Commander

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Hindustan state-run television station on Dalhousie Street in New Delhi was recording Defense Minister Singh's strong condemnation of China's attack on the Line of Control.The statement will be broadcast to the world on the morning news at 9 o'clock.Singh does not expect such a skirmish to draw the world's attention away from the war-torn Kashmir theater. His statement this time is only a foreshadowing for the prime minister's limited retaliation plan.It is known that there were no casualties in this conflict. The list of 24 people killed in battle compiled by the Fourth Army Command 17 hours ago caused the first round of anti-talk demonstrations among the people. The list of captured soldiers--the list is roughly the same as the list of dead men compiled by the inefficient commander of the Fourth Army, and there is even one more.The Chinese government has also publicly stated that they can immediately return personnel and weapons.China's move deeply hurt Prime Minister Kahan, who, like many aging Hindu nationalists, saw the return of the weapons as a deliberate humiliation.

Singh's statement was very short, and the gist was that India has the right to fight back and will fight back; but he did not mention when and how to fight back.Immediately after the Minister of Defense entered the studio, Dr. Rani, editor-in-chief of the Indian Political Review, gave a long and provocative speech.In his speech, Rani mentioned many times that China is building a dam on the upper Brahmaputra River (Brahmaputra River) in an attempt to kill Indians from thirst during the dry season.Assam's chief minister, Gultan, was the last to record a speech. When he started calling for resistance, Singh went back to the Ministry of Defense to plan a counterattack.

The counterattack made Singh feel pressured, because Prime Minister Kahan's attitude on this incident is unpredictable. The prime minister wants a limited and controllable counterattack, clearly demanding that the situation not be exacerbated.But Singer knew that once the war started, there would be no controllable war.Since the Chinese dare to take the initiative to provoke the door, there must be some backup.Especially after a large number of troops were mobilized into Kashmir, the region lacked sufficient ground forces to counterattack.

For more than ten years, Pasade has built an impregnable defense system in this area, but the pillar of this system has been taken away by Singh, so he knows that he cannot rely on the army to fight back, he can only focus on The point is on the air force.Most military experts believe that India's failure to use the air force in the 1962 war was a mistake, and Singh felt so deeply, so he was determined not to make the same mistake again.

Singer came to the meeting room worried, and saw his office director waiting outside the door, as if he had something to say.

"Your Excellency, the Air Force Staff has just called. The Chief of Staff, Admiral Biafrata, is commanding the attack on Fort ***. He thinks it is risky for the Secret Service Squadron to take off at night, so he can't rush over to have a meeting with you. Yes, but the squadron leaders from the eastern theater and... the commanders of the special forces have all arrived, and they will report directly to you on combat preparations." Lujadnahan reported the general Condition.Singh did not want to blame Biafrata for his absence from such an important meeting. After the A50I was shot down, the air corridor over Kashmir did become unsafe for the special service squadron's broadcast 737.The area is mountainous and close to China. Once the enemy planes get information in advance, they are likely to repeat the old tricks. Maybe a fighter jet will appear out of nowhere.

"Very well, it doesn't matter if there is no Biafrata. I am very good at communicating with grassroots officers."

Singer pushed the door open and entered the meeting room. All the air force and army commanders of the Eastern Military Region present stood up suddenly, except for one person who sat in the shadow and remained motionless. Because he is the only person here wearing a mountain camouflage uniform, and he also has a Chinese face.

"Please sit down, the situation is urgent, we can't waste time, because you all have to go back soon."

All the officers sat down one after another. Singer walked to the map on the wall and stood alone for a while, as if he was still thinking about an unsolvable problem.

"Okay, let's talk about your plans." He cheered up and began to ask for plans.

An officer with a mustache stood up. Singh knew the whole person. This was Colonel Ardish, the commander of the 11th Wing. Because Colonel Biafrata was not present, Colonel Ardish was the highest-ranking air force here. officer.

"For many years, our 11th Wing has been studying operations against China, so we have a very complete counterattack plan, and we can attack the marked strongholds of Tudong, Langjiu, and Tamadoun at any time, and their drone bases And the condescending radar station has always been a major threat to us, and now we can just get rid of these troubles." The colonel said decisively, what he said was basically the truth, because the area where the Chinese army is located is relatively high, so the altitude is 5000 meters. The above snow mountain radar station has always been a serious concern for the Indian Air Force.

"Well, go on."

"I can use a good [-]nd Squadron to carry out such a mission. The [-]nd Squadron will have an overwhelming advantage of the Chinese air force in the area, and it will also have a shorter range for the attack target, and can withdraw before they react .”

"No, the Su-30MKI of the Second Squadron is the core force in the eastern theater and cannot be used for this mission. This will cause the escalation of the conflict to be beyond the control of the Prime Minister; everyone, how I wish I could ignore politics like you soldiers, But the reality is that I have to share these constraints for His Excellency the Prime Minister. Singh shrugged and said. The purpose of deploying the second squadron of Su-30MKI fighter jets in the East was originally to pose a threat to the LS and even Chengdu, so these fighter jets have considerable potential. Strategically, now is obviously not the time to dispatch these planes.

"Tiger Shark Squadron can carry out a limited attack on the CCP base in the RKZ to warn them that their facilities are within our strike range at any time." The person who got up to speak this time was Squadron Leader Dabri of the 222nd Squadron Lieutenant Colonel Ni, he is the most combative commander in the eastern theater, and he is also an excellent fighter-bomber pilot.

"It is also an effective way, but crossing Bhutan's airspace will cause diplomatic troubles. The crown prince of Bhutan has been collude with China. The Prime Minister does not want to accelerate this trend."

The officers present began to whisper to each other. Originally, the squadron leader of No. 102 Squadron also brought a plan to air strike the dam construction site in the bend area of ​​the Brahmaputra River.

Lieutenant Colonel Dabrini was a smart man. He was the first to get the minister's mind. He wanted a limited aircraft strike, and the target should not be too far-reaching or too sensitive.The Lieutenant Colonel suddenly thought of a new plan that must be accepted.

"Mr. Minister, I think the plan of the 11th Wing can be handed over to our squadron for execution, and the tactical aircraft of the Tiger Shark Squadron will attack the CCP bunker or radar base in Lang Jiu. This is very simple for us."

Dabrini's words drew a disgusted look from the captain of the 11th regiment.In the previous war zone planning, the MiG 27UPG of the Tiger Shark Squadron deployed at the West Hamara Base was mainly responsible for the attack in the direction of the RKZ. Now he is wishful thinking and wants to replace the technically superior Second Squadron to conduct a cross-border attack. fight.

"Your squadron?" Singer was also taken aback by Dabrini's words.

"That's right, our fighter jets are better at low-altitude assaults than the Su-30, and have inherent advantages for this type of target. And when we take off from the Sihamara base, the mountains of Bhutan can cover us, and the opponent's radar It doesn't work for us; and Tespur's situation is so bad, as long as Colonel Ardish's Su-30 is flying, the radar they have deployed at 5300 meters north of East Sion will see it clearly."

Something about Dabrini's words moved Singer.He feels that this plan seems to be feasible. The radar deployed by the CCP on Height 5374 has been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the powerful 11th Wing for many years. This radar base can incorporate larger combat aircraft that take off from Tespur. Surveillance range.

"Okay, that's the plan. The 222 Squadron will destroy their radar positions. At the same time, the ground forces will fight for the lost strongholds as originally planned. In this way, they hit us once, and we hit back twice, which is very reasonable. The Prime Minister will definitely Approved" Singh finished speaking, and immediately walked towards the gate to leave, he was anxious to ask the Prime Minister for instructions on this attack.

"Who told you that they only attacked us once." A disdainful voice floated out from the shadows. In this conference room, it was the first time that Singer heard someone speak to himself in such a tone. Turning his head, a figure in a sloppy camouflage uniform turned slightly forward.Only then did Singer see clearly that this person not only had a Chinese face, but also only had the rank of captain. Who knew who informed him to sit here.

"This is Captain Lobsang Gyatso, the commander of the 11th detachment of the border special forces. It was Director Chaman who suggested that he attend this meeting." Lujadnahan reminded the Minister of Defense in a low voice.

"What's your opinion?" Singer stopped and asked seriously.

"Assault on the artillery observation post at Kongo La Pass, just a feint, they will definitely send someone to infiltrate our rear to conduct reconnaissance, assess our mobilization capabilities and equipment; I mean the entire rear, Tespur or Jabwa airports will be under the surveillance of these people."

"It's impossible, no one can penetrate that far in an area like that."

"It was really difficult before, but since you took out the troops there, it has become feasible. I know that the real masters can do it, especially those who have been trained to climb mountains and mountains at night. Except Brahmaputra, now there is no geographical barrier to prevent them from prying into our secrets."

"How can you be so sure?" Singer was a little curious, so he suppressed Huo'er and asked.

"Because I have dealt with this group of people many times, I mean face-to-face, and you have not, Mr. Minister."

There was silence in the venue, and everyone could hear that this person was sarcasm Singer, but no one knew whether what the captain who came out of nowhere was telling the truth.

"How do you prove that the Chinese are behind the Line of Control?" Singer asked succinctly.

"It's very simple, take me and my people to the Bangla Pass by helicopter, and I will find them. If I were them, I would cross the Conaqu River from there at night."

"You're sure to find them."

"Yes, in our way, I will show you the heads of these people."

Singer considered that even if the other party was talking nonsense, he might as well let him try.

"Okay, I will let the 115th Helicopter Squadron send your detachment to the designated area, and then you go find those spies. If you succeed, you guarantee that you will get a medal for bravery in the People's House."
