Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 231 The Miscellaneous Brigade

"Spotted a Red Army AWACS aircraft flying 35 kilometers past the Bhutan border. Heading 235."

"Tezpur's [-]nd Squadron launched to monitor the enemy's movement. Prepare to strike across the border."

"Crossing the border of Bhutan?"

"you still need to ask?"

"What about the fighters of 102 Squadron in the air? Go to Tespur?"

"Let me think about it," Lin Huaisheng frowned. He had studied the level of facilities at Tespur's airport. If the 102 Squadron were transferred there, it might increase the confusion in command.Maybe the red side will use tactical missiles to attack these vertical targets.

"No, it's still going to the Sihamara base." He said.The Sihamara base is hidden deep behind Darjeeling, with a military headquarters and an entire division let go, and historically, it has never been attacked by China.

According to the pre-established rules of the acting director department, before the Red Army fires the first shot, the defender cannot mobilize troops to strike across the border, so now he can only wait passively, and all he can do is to disperse the air force as much as possible to avoid accidents .In addition, the director's department also restricted Lin Huaisheng from mobilizing the tornado rocket launcher at the first time. Since this unit had been discovered by the reconnaissance unit and was very close to the border, this had actually sentenced this powerful artillery unit to death.Now Lin Huaisheng has some scattered mobile howitzers in his hands. These American-made artillery are difficult for the red air force to destroy, and they will inevitably become the main firepower for his counterattack.

"15 minutes ago, the Red Army just attacked the Nathu La Pass. The situation there is currently unknown."

"What?" He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the battle to attack southern Tibet would start from the Nathu La Pass outside southern Tibet. However, he didn't intend to complain about the opponent's cheating. Surprise is the essence of war.

"Regardless of this, the air force and tactical missile units counterattacked according to the original plan. Let the engineering regiment of the 5th Mountain Division immediately reinforce the bridge on the Dongma River, and quickly withdraw the Tornado Battalion east of Tawang across the river. Then blow up the bridge."

"It's too late. According to the information just now, the tornado position was hit by the enemy's long-range rocket, and contact was lost, and the loss cannot be counted."

"As expected. Regardless, the bridge must be blown up."

"What about the brothers north of the river?"

"I don't care about their life and death. Let Dawang's dead garrison stick to it. What we must consider now is to counterattack...destroy the road network nodes where the red side is shallow and jumping."

The flames of war quickly spread among the computers, and it was not very intense for the time being.According to Lin Huaisheng's plan.The first to launch a counterattack was the Prahar short-range tactical missile battalion deployed near the Jabwa base.He wanted to use these weapons to attack some road and bridge facilities that the Red Army might use.Then the MiG-27 deployed in Sihamara to bomb the RKZ airport.The reason for doing this is because he believes that short-range tactical missiles and MiG-27s have little tactical value and are easily destroyed by the first round of attacks by the Red Army.

Half an hour later, Tiger Shark Squadron's suicide attack came to fruition. Cluster bombs destroyed a runway at RKZ Airport, but none of the first wave of six planes returned.The attack of short-range missiles has become unrecognizable. Maybe the higher-ups will judge some results, but they will not tell the blue side.

So far, Lin Huaisheng felt that the Red Army's actions were sneaky. He couldn't figure out what the opponent's next card would be.Can only wait patiently.He knew very well that the Sigurd Corridor was the key to the entire war. If the red side occupied this throat, the war would be tantamount to over.However, India has deployed heavy troops around this key point, and it is not easy to win it in one fell swoop.

In front of Lin Huaisheng's active defense of the camp every step of the way, the red side began to exert its strength gradually.Taking advantage of their commanding position, they began to attack the blue strongholds on the entire front.It is still dominated by powerful long-range rockets, but it is more cautious in the use of the air force, perhaps because it is a little afraid of the Su-30MKI.However, Lin Huaisheng did not have an early warning aircraft, so he suffered a great loss in mobilizing the air force.

"The positions around Tawang have just been bombarded for a short time. Our army relies on solid fortifications, so there are no casualties for the time being."

Lin Huaisheng remained silent. The opponent seemed to be testing firepower across the board, and seemed to want to show off the huge war potential brought by the main artery of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

"In my opinion, their attack was not focused. One hammer in the east, one stick in the other," Lao Ding said. He was a little duller than the general staff, but after a few hours, he also saw some problems.

"That's the problem. It's a tactic of attacking the east and attacking the west. Jabuwa, Dawang, and Xiguli. There must be two feints. But I still can't figure out their real goal."

"The red side is obviously deceiving us with limited firepower. We must fight back?"

It took Lao Ding 2 minutes to walk around the 12X6 meter sand table.During the period, another small flag at the front was pulled out, which was the D30 artillery group.This position was shot only a few times before it was covered by firepower and was sentenced to withdraw.

"We can't be beaten passively all the time, at least we should have some counterattacks against LS." Lao Ding said.

"What kind of counterattack?" Lin Huaisheng asked rhetorically, he didn't have many cards in his hand, except the 2 Squadron Su 30MKI.There is also a battalion of Land 2 missiles, but neither of these cards has yet to be played.

"We should tighten our pockets first. The best counterattack is to let the Red Army have no chance. Let the Indian-Tibetan special forces stand by at any time..."

On the display screen, the helicopter squadron code-named hovering angels was activated, and this force would be able to maneuver to any corner of the battle line at any time.

The virtual confrontation is in full swing, but almost no one in the world knows what happened here, and all eyes of the world are on the real battlefield.

The territory lost by Pakistan has grown larger and larger, and the entire country has been almost split in half. Within 24 hours, Spanga's army proved their strength again. The entire Indian breakthrough force was divided into north and south, and they all won.

The outskirts of the southern city of Karachi have been torn apart by the Indian 1st Army.The Pakistan Army has assembled a huge force of 9 people here, but these reserve forces lack heavy equipment and morale is not high, and they are completely unable to withstand the offensive of 4 people from the Indian First Army.The entire Karachi defense line has begun to crumble.

Corporal Abad was sent by his superiors to defend the Barrier Durej area west of Karachi.Most of the tank destroyer unit of Abad's unit has been destroyed.After a series of mistakes, the commanders of this reserve force finally discovered a reality. These mighty self-propelled anti-tank guns are not tanks, nor are they bunkers. armor.Therefore, this direct-pointing weapon must be deployed at the back of the battle line. The Duleji defense zone is such a place. One side is condescending, and the rest of the area is an unobstructed plain. If it is deployed properly, it will provide a field of vision for the artillery. Good wide range.In order to hold this last line of defense, the 12th Army deliberately put together all the units that could fight into a "mixed brigade". This brigade-level unit has about 1500 people and has no tanks, but it has various armored vehicles. It includes 5 Type 89 tank destroyers, which are the heaviest equipment in the entire army.

The road from Karachi to Dureji was rough and difficult, and the enemy's situation was unknown, so the brigade commander sent a WZ551 armored vehicle as a reconnaissance vehicle.

The 6-wheel-drive armored vehicle sped forward on this blustery morning.The driver didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him, so he could only bite the bullet and drive forward.All the defeated soldiers and refugees encountered along the way could not tell where the Indian tanks had gone.Some said that the tank had crossed the Heb River and headed west, while others said it had stopped at Amri.When we arrived at a place less than 5 kilometers away from Duleji, there was no one to see on the road anymore. The commander climbed out of the turret to conduct reconnaissance in person, and the yellow sand hit his goggles and face.This is a strong sandstorm blowing from the desert, which has not stopped all morning, and now his visibility has been reduced to less than 60 meters.However, the commander was not very worried that he would run into the enemy's muzzle. He was a veteran on the battlefield and knew that as long as the Indian armored troops marched 1 kilometer away, they could hear the ground shaking.

The armored vehicle turned over a hillside, and a bright light suddenly lit up in the yellow sand.He saw a huge tank with its headlights on parked just 50 meters in front of it.The commander swallowed. There was not only one T72 tank in front of him, but a whole company of tanks parked here and there, and there might be more out of sight.The tanks sat here quietly, probably all night, without rumbling or swarming infantry.A few soldiers were studying the map lying on the front armor plate of the tank, but they were not infantry.The commander realized that his reconnaissance vehicle broke into the middle of the enemy in broad daylight.

The driver sensed the danger almost at the same time. He stepped on the clutch and backed up to shift the reverse gear. His movements were slightly deformed, and the vehicle turned off.In the dazzling light, the two chariots confronted each other for a while.An Indian commander got out of the turret and waved his hands proudly.Signaling that the armored vehicle blocked his way, he seemed to take the 12-ton vehicle that was sent to the muzzle as his own.

"They didn't recognize us, so don't do stupid things." The commander reminded the gunners below not to try to provoke the enemy with the 25mm artillery. "Start slowly. Just drive forward, pretending to be okay." The captain then said to the driver below.The driver slowly regained his sanity, grabbed the wet gear lever, shifted forward into gear to start the vehicle, and slipped past the tank at a very slow speed.

The commander on the turret kept watching the Indian tanks next to him from the corner of his eye. They did not turn the turret or machine gun.Perhaps the sandstorm made them mistook the wheeled vehicle for a Ferret or BTR60 commonly used by Indian reconnaissance units, but at least they shouldn't have miscounted the wheels.However, the Indians concentrated on studying their offensive route, and they really didn't find that it was a different armored vehicle.
