Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 170 The disaster of extinction
Sammy said that he turned on the radar and used a high pulse repetition rate to continuously scan the opponent at a distance of 150 kilometers. He hoped to scare the opponent away. Although there were no medium-range bombs on his plane, the enemy might not know this.

The plan formulated by Islam mobilized most of the air forces that were still able to fight in the south, and took precautions against possible enemy directions, but there were still some deviations, that is, the attack on the Indian Navy at the Goa base. Take precautions.Because after the ground war started, the fighter jets that took off from the base only continuously harassed the port of Karachi, and did not go deep into Pakistani territory, so the major general's plan did not specifically guard against the south.But somehow, their plane was dispatched this morning.

An enemy plane 140 kilometers away on the radar began to make moves and release interference, but the other plane suddenly disappeared.Maybe ran to a low altitude, or maybe escaped.

"Red Flag, an enemy plane has disappeared."

"We can't see it either. Maybe at low altitude," Major General Islam replied. "Be sure to stop them. Reinforcements will be here soon."

Sammy glanced down, and there was a plane approaching at 3 o'clock in the rear, but it was still far away.The colonel didn't really care if there was backup, because he had never been optimistic about the courage of the Indian pilots. Maybe the other one just escaped.

"Leave it to me here."

"You have to watch out, old man."

"rest assured."

Zhang Chengyan has turned across the Indus River, and the target designated by the route is ahead.He had reached an altitude of 2500 meters, one of the odd conditions required to drop such a bomb.Now the weapon controller in the back seat is observing the enemy cluster 22 kilometers ahead from the 15 times enlarged video in order to collect information and make final adjustments to the bomb's spread area.

"Captain, I see about one regiment of enemies and a pontoon bridge. Please keep flying level."

Zhang Chengyan glanced at the attitude display, and then turned on the afterburner.He needs a little speed in case of any emergency.There are only sporadic radar pulses on the electronic tactical threat display, and there is no real fire control radar aimed at him continuously, but he is very worried that flying over the battlefield at such a height will attract some individual missile attacks. It is not difficult to deal with, but it is difficult to find.

The image in front of the weapon operator's eyes was shaking slightly, groups of tanks and military vehicles were moving slowly, denser than he imagined.He aligned the front sight at roughly the center, then opened the weapon safety, and determined the throwing order and time interval of each pylon on the weapon control panel.Then set the detonation time of the mother bomb electronic fuze.The computer was calculating the timing of the throw, and the huge enemy convoy gradually disappeared from the lower edge of the monitor.

"Please keep level, 950 per hour. It is estimated that there are still 20 seconds." He squeezed the trigger (starting the irreversible bombing program, the timing is determined by the computer).

"understood."

Zhang Chengyan stabilized the plane, stared at the artificial horizon on the HUD, watched the plane gradually stabilized, and then turned his head to look left and right to make sure that there were no shining things suddenly appearing under the thin clouds. Opening his eyes, he thought, maybe their army group forgot to bring the anti-aircraft brigade to the river. A bomb drop icon appeared on the HUD at the same time, and then turned into a countdown clock, which means we have to wait.

Division Commander Jayir is listening to the report at the temporary command post.He knew that the losses on the other side of the river were relatively large, but the enemy's defense line was almost finished. Several of his wheeled reconnaissance vehicles had already broken through 1.5 kilometers and got through with the rear paratroopers. Now his advance troops started a scuffle with the enemy. Waiting anxiously for heavy weapons to cross the river to deliver the decisive blow.He took courage and arranged the entire tank regiment densely by the river, ready to dive.

"Master, the anti-aircraft battalion promised by Lieutenant General Spanga last night has not arrived. I will be in trouble." A staff officer beside Jayer said.

"The commander's practice of throwing all the air defense to the air force is really disagreeable, but so far our air force has performed better than Pakistan's air force, at least it often happens. In the current situation, as long as our tanks rush across the river, this A battle is won," he said.The major general knew that the commander's approach was risky. The Indian air defense force relied too much on roads (radar and power station equipment used a large number of trailers), and Spanga, who was proficient in calculations, was ranked behind the entire marching column. The current air defense mainly relies on the air force.But seeing Pakistan dying, the teacher felt that it was worth taking the risk.

"Commander, as long as the tanks are across the river, we can sweep the entire Pakistani line north. They will fall into a second collapse."

"That's right, it will be written in future war history that it was the decisive actions of the 11th Infantry Division that disintegrated the entire enemy's defense line," Jayer said.

"General, if they collapse again, there should be no room to organize a counterattack again. Maybe they can retreat to Iran or Afghanistan, but the large-scale resistance will end. It will be written in future books that the 11th Infantry Division saved The entire 21st Army Group... No, it should have won the entire war." The staff officer said flatteringly.

"Uh, it should be." Jayer said proudly, "By the way, what's that sound?" Jayer walked out of the command post with his back facing a red sun, "Could it be that the air support from Jodhpur finally came? gone?"

"Yes, general, at dawn, there will be two Jaguar attack planes attacking the enemy's headquarters in front of us." A liaison officer replied confidently.

Jail felt strange, because the roar of the engine came from the north rather than the direction of Jodhpur, he thought maybe the pilot seemed confused.A flight path in the thin cloud stretched rapidly, passing Jayer's head quickly.Then he saw plumes of leaden smoke suddenly appear in the sky, as if there had been several minor explosions.

"What's going on?" He looked nervous.Soon, a row of white parachutes that were separated could be seen slowly descending. He raised his binoculars and saw objects hanging from these parachutes were swaying rapidly.

"They're spinning, Commander?" said the staff officer.

"Damn, we're going to be unlucky."

More than 70 umbrella flowers slowly covered, and in a blink of an eye, they exploded into a piece at a low altitude of less than 100 meters, bursting into flames and hitting the convoy on the ground. Wherever they went, there was no convoy parked densely spared.Jayer watched with his mouth wide open, his tank regiment exposed to short and intensive attacks.The sound of crackling and crisp explosions can be heard endlessly.

After the white smoke filled the air, some of the chariots parked densely by the river started to burn, while others stopped there lifelessly.The explosions of tanks and chariots happened one after another, and the soldiers in the attack circle ran for their lives, causing many casualties.

"How should I explain to the commander?" Jayer slumped to the ground.The sight in front of him shocked him. The metal warheads ejected from these tricky bombs were designed to attack the engine and roof, and their powerful kinetic energy completely destroyed the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.The nearby engineers and construction machinery also suffered, and the entire mechanized army was turned into piles of scrap iron in an instant.

"Let all the equipment that can be driven fall back, and report to Spanga that we are under heavy air attack. Let him send planes to ensure air supremacy."

"But teacher, what about the other side of the river?"

"It is impossible to support them now. You tell the machine battalion and paratroopers to retreat to the bridgehead and hold on until the afternoon." Jayer dropped these words, got into the car and evacuated eastward.The blow from the sky frightened him. Although the actual loss may not be as great as he thought, he lost his composure. Jayer only knows the protruding parts of the front line, which are most vulnerable to enemy fire. He would rather be like this The attack fell on the 31st Panzer Division.

In the sky, Sami's J-10 could already see the enemy's fighter jets. The enemy planes had no AWACS support. In addition, Sami played several tricks to destroy its aiming, making it impossible to use medium-range bombs.Of course, he also admired the Indian pilot. He broke into the battle within the visual range so recklessly. Obviously, he believed that fighter jets could fight alone without data link support.

The enemy plane took the lead in pulling up its guns at a distance of 8 kilometers to occupy a favorable altitude. Sammy was not in a hurry to do so. The climb ability of this aircraft is above the Su-29MKI.When he fought against the early MiG-30 of the Indian Air Force more than a month ago, he was thrown off by the opponent at the end of the fight, but it is not the same now.

The Indian fighter plane started to turn sideways trying to bite the Pakistani fighter jet of unknown type that was flying 6 kilometers away. The plane was at one o'clock. The pilot could see a small white dot on the glass canopy. He couldn't remember. The Pakistan Air Force has such a livery, but the intelligence may be correct. The Pakistan Air Force has only a bunch of rookies left, so that guy was a little timid in the first round and did not dare to fight head-on. This made him take advantage .As the plane turned sharply, the dazzling sun on the horizon prevented him from seeing the enemy plane clearly.Soon the enemy plane disappeared from the HUD. The rising sun at 6 o'clock made his head big. When he lowered the nose of the aircraft by using the altitude, all he saw was the dazzling light.

Sammy observed the enemy plane during a strong turn, and the enemy plane was still unwilling to lose the fighter plane and forcibly pushed down the nose. This shows that his combat ability is only theoretical, and that theory tells him that the victory in air combat is entirely based on energy. Therefore, he stubbornly believes that height and speed are the only important things, which makes the MiG-29 look like a goose under his control.Sami flew head-on towards the enemy plane, and the radar quickly captured and tracked the enemy plane, but the enemy plane's radar never took one-on-one tracking. Obviously, the opponent's movements were a bit slow, which was an inevitable result of his insistence on approaching from the west.

The colonel immediately fired an infrared-guided missile.Then pull it up quickly, and with luck, the enemy may not see this missile.
