Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 219
"Is this plan not feasible?"

"Don't rush to deny yourself. It should be said that some experience and lessons have been summed up. For example, it is indeed feasible to use the river bank and mountain to avoid radar detection. In addition, flying along a rushing river is also very effective in hiding the noise from the helicopter. A little help, the specific situation is still being studied. Of course, testing in the territory is one thing, but what happens under the eyes of the enemy, I don’t know yet.”

"So, we are going to fight in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River?"

"No, that would scare the snake away. The superior's intention is to move around the control line of CN County and knock down a few strongholds on the outskirts of Tawang. Now their strength is tight. We can easily take down a few hills with infantry, and they dare not However, the higher-ups hope that Lu Hang will come to train this time. This is also a blank in the history of our army."

"The average altitude of the lower reaches of Niangjiang Qu is over 2500 meters." Lin Huaisheng said cautiously,

"Joke, what kind of soldiers are you training on flat ground?"

"understood."

"Your last reconnaissance showed that there are mobile radar units south of the Dawang River. Now let's see if the low-altitude breakthrough can avoid these radars."

"I understand."

"In addition, this mission will be given some special missions, so... Let me remind you first, you must strictly follow the combat orders. If your superiors ask you to withdraw, you will withdraw. Don't bargain." Xu Jingzhe said.There seemed to be something hidden in his words.

"The hilltop stronghold under the snow line is very useful to us. As long as it is occupied, we can monitor the transportation on the Derangzong line. In addition, if it is captured, it will be withdrawn again, which will affect morale..."

"As soon as you were vaccinated, you started to mess up. The superiors will have long-term considerations, and you just follow the orders."

"Yes."

Inside the Indian Ministry of Defense offices in New Delhi.Minister of Defense Singh is holding a magnifying glass and looking at the map. The map in front of him is updated a little later than the front line.On the map, the blue White Tiger Division's attack arrows had already wedged behind the enemy's front line, but the new progress ahead had not been delivered for a long time, which made him extremely anxious.Unlike other civil servants in the wartime cabinet who only talked about strategy, he spent several hours every day on the [-]:[-] map. Some newly drawn maps in the Spanga command post will also be sent here by special personnel.

In a few days, the hot July will end, and the original plan to end the war before August has come to naught; but even so, the time is still in India's favor.Singer hoped that Spanga would be more understanding of his helpless decision, after all, he was under a lot of pressure.

"Your Excellency, the intelligence chief is here. He's just outside." The secretary said at the door.

"I'm going to meet with the prime minister soon, I'm afraid I don't have time to see him. If he has anything to do, I can spare a few minutes at the prime minister's office." Singh said without raising his head.He was very dissatisfied with this kind of emergency appointment without an appointment; of course, the main reason was that he was extremely dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the intelligence agency in recent months.

"Director Charman said it's an urgent military situation on the Eastern Front. It's extremely urgent," the secretary added.Singer couldn't help but startled. At this juncture, what he was most afraid of hearing was the situation on the Eastern Front.Now in the entire Assam and surrounding provinces, there are only 5 incomplete divisions and reserve "National Army" with extremely poor combat effectiveness. These troops not only need to deal with the long border, but also have to deal with the increasingly powerful Separatist guerrillas.In recent weeks, these left-wing militias have carried out many sabotage activities, including attacking the police station and blowing up the railway. Lobsang Gyatso was able to rely on the "Indian-Tibetan Special Forces" capable of maneuvering in the air to encircle and suppress the increasingly well-armed rebels. Of course, Lobsang Gyatso did not disappoint him. His vicious methods have already thwarted several rebellions that have not yet spread.

"Let him in quickly," said Singer.He was very upset, wondering what bad news that Charmain guy brought this time.

Singer put down the magnifying glass, and when he looked up, Charmain had appeared across the desk like a ghost; as always, he was holding his little notebook in his hand.From his gloomy yet smiling face, it was hard to tell whether he brought good news or bad news.

"Mr. Commissioner, please speak quickly if you have anything to say. I don't have much time."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister. I just got a reliable piece of information, and I will report to you immediately."

"Well, I'm listening."

"Within 24 hours, the Chinese army will launch an attack on the Eastern Line of Control, close to Bhutan. Their goal will be one of our strongholds."

"Is it your reliable information?" Singer asked with a slightly mocking tone.

"Yes, it is an inside line I have arranged for a long time, and it is the first time to use it."

"Go on."

"Their strategic intention is still to contain our offensive on the western front, and the troops and firepower they can dispatch there are limited. It is likely to be another battle at the company and platoon level." Charmain continued.

Singer frowned and nodded. If Charmain's information was accurate, it would be considered good news, which shows that his worries about the Eastern Front are a bit unnecessary.Perhaps it wasn't just the Indian army that was stretched there, the Chinese were also constrained by their nightmarish transport lines and unable to launch a large-scale offensive.

"The only thing we can rely on there now is the "Indian-Tibetan Special Forces" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the information is reliable, we must give them a hard blow head-on."

"If this happens, I'm worried that my inner line will be exposed. It's not easy for me to manage this line." Charmain said cautiously.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Singer laughed secretly in his heart. Charmain had already been cheated out of a lot of money by intelligence brokers in East Asia. Whether his so-called long-buried insider line is really reliable depends on this. Whether the attack will occur as expected.

"By the way, since you're here, I have another question to ask you." Singer said as he dug out a few photos from the drawer, "This was taken by an Israeli satellite. The railway line near Peshawar is What's the matter with transporting Chinese tanks?" After speaking, Singer casually threw the photo in front of Charmain.

"Yes, the Chinese gave some new tanks, which feature laser suppression equipment on the top and huge storage boxes on both sides of the turret." Charmain said with a glance.He knew that Singer was looking for trouble again, and he was making things difficult for himself.

"I'm not asking about that, I'm asking where are these tanks sent?"

"Well... Maybe it's the 6th Armored Division in Lahore, maybe it's the 1st Armored Division in Multan. I think in any case, there will be reports from the front line soon."

"Is that so? I always thought that the intelligence department should know the enemy's equipment earlier than the frontline, instead of letting the frontline officers tell you."

"The situation will change soon, I promise. The inside line I have this time, hehe, is absolutely different. Just wait and see." Charmain hastily argued.It seems that the opportunity has endorsed his internal response.

"Hopefully, the next time they attack the West Coast, the Prime Minister can expect that your Intelligence Bureau will not be watching the TV news while reporting the latest information to him." Singer said in a toneless tone.

The battlefield in central Pakistan, 20 kilometers northeast of Jianbur.

Yahini was squatting on the ground studying the messy track marks under his feet.The radio communication between his two platoons and the headquarters has not yet been restored, and the surrounding army units are either retreating or consciously moving closer to their neighbors.However, Yahini did not want to wait for his fate so passively.Now he must rely on his own judgment to decide what to do next.

The sergeant stood up and patted the dirt on his hands.

"A few hours ago, our missile field escaped from here, but the enemy is still pursuing."

"What shall we do?" said Tasim, who was fighting on the hull. "We can't take advantage of fighting during the day."

"There is no choice, we can only pursue. If I guess correctly, this enemy came in to assist the frontal attack. You have heard the artillery from the east since the morning. Now only we can stop their further plans. .”

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, but unable to raise any objections, he jumped onto the tank.Tell the driver to head northeast.He knew that the original order was for him to accept the tank and return to the front line, and this order has not been cancelled.But now he couldn't do that, even if he went to court-martial, he still had to keep up with the enemy tanks that pierced to the rear. His instinct told him that that was the key to turning the tide of the battle.

The roar of the planes in the sky was one after another, and Yahini's head was sticking out of the turret. When he looked up, he could see the steam trails of the planes and missiles extending rapidly in the sky.He knew that a desperate and chaotic battle was going on in the sky.If the air force does not support and withdraws from the battle, then in a short while, the enemy's attack planes will fly over their heads unscrupulously.

Along the way, he could see many destroyed military vehicles and oil tankers on the side of the road. The fierce enemy army was like the cavalry of ancient nomads, rushing all the way, disrupting the deployment of the Pakistan Army.However, Yahini knew that the enemy would not run wildly, their fuel should have exceeded half, and their real target should be within the limit of the tank's travel.

"Look, there's a tank ahead." The gunner standing on the left side of the turret shouted.Yahini quickly grabbed the binoculars and looked in the direction of the gunner's finger. Sure enough, there was a tank hidden in the ravine on the edge of the village, about 1 kilometer away.Judging from the small tricolor flag on the antenna, it was an Indian tank.

"Don't fire yet, see if there are other enemies around."

"Maybe it's the tank they left behind," Tasim said.

"It's possible, but we can't be too careless."

"No. 2 and No. 3, you outflank to the right. No. 4 follows me, and the rest stay where they are. Monitor both sides of the road." Yahini immediately made arrangements, and it was no problem to use four vehicles to fight one.His concern was that the rest of the enemy tanks would appear along the road.

The 4 tanks fanned out to the Indian tank, and there were no traces of other Indian armored units around, maybe it was a tank that broke down.

The Indian tanks are well hidden, and Yahini has not found a good shooting position.When approaching 500 meters, the Indian tank finally noticed and suddenly started to reverse at high speed.The No. 2 vehicle group with a better shooting position fired first, but missed.Shooting such an accelerating tank is very dependent on the experience of the gunner (the angular velocity sensor is difficult to measure the movement state of the target under acceleration, and the fire control computer cannot provide accurate shooting advance, and the gunner can only give a certain amount of advance) .Immediately, the tank skillfully backed up and evaded between the buildings, which surprised Yahini. He had never seen such a sophisticated reaction from an Indian tanker.
