Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 25 Evacuation
"Teacher, I understand that India deliberately let the second Mumbai tragedy happen, in fact, to find an excuse for the war." Lin Huaisheng hurried to remedy.

"Well, it confuses me. I can't make sense of such a clear thing. Well, let's talk about intelligence. After the Mumbai incident in 2008, India established a patrol boat base on Kavarati Island. You know that. ?”

"I don't know that yet." Lin Huaisheng shook his head and said.

"This base was established by the Indian military to prevent surface infiltration from the Arabian Sea; but as we later learned, on April 4, the missile boat base in Dabaolin received a telegram requesting all four The patrol boat, on April 3th, arrived at the Goa shipyard for its annual overhaul."

"So that's why they are letting terrorists into the territory." Lin Huaisheng repeatedly nodded in agreement, but he thought to himself, you didn't tell me this information, so where can I analyze it?

"So, it is not difficult to see India's determination to go to war. The second Mumbai incident on April 4 is actually an excuse that Kahan and his Ministry of Defense dreamed of. From the perspective of world politics, India has always worried , the relationship between Pakistan and the United States will be repaired in a few years, so this is the best time window."

"I think India's timing is good. It's the same from a war point of view," Lin Huaisheng said.

"What do you think? Tell me."

"Teacher, I think so. It's not only the attitude of the United States. From the perspective of the season, they obviously have the lightest pressure in other directions. They know very well that in the past six months, whether in Aksai Chin or southern Tibet, , it is impossible for our army to launch an offensive, so they can bring back a lot of troops from the frontier strongholds or the deeper Imphal area."

"Well, this analysis is not bad."

"If this is the case, I am thinking that this is an unsolvable problem for our plan. Since India has planned for a long time, their ground attack plan must be very complete. We cannot expect the Pakistani Army to resist for too long. They The main forces of India are all in the north, but judging from India's air strike on Lahore, the real attack may be launched from the south. If that happens, India will bear huge pressure politically, but in turn, it will gain military success Great success, I don't think such a hypothesis can be ruled out."

"Well, it makes sense. You can add this point to your report. You can add your personal judgment to the report appropriately, but not too much. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I still don't quite understand."

"Then you can talk about it in the last section, but don't be too subjective. You must pay attention to your rank and authority. You are not a decision-maker." Major General Xu shook his head and spoke clearly.

"I see."

"By the way, let me tell you that the chief executive will not be present at tomorrow's analysis meeting, so as not to misjudge some countries, but the chief executive will watch the live broadcast of the meeting nearby, and I will accompany him. If the chief executive has any questions, I will call to ask you."

"What level of chief is it, so mysterious? I saw a Boeing 737 on the runway, isn't it..."

"Pay attention to discipline, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. I just want you to know that although your rank is very low, what you say may have a crucial impact on decision-making. You can weigh it."

After India announced that it had entered a state of war, the whole world was shocked, and Pakistan fell into the national error. Most Pakistanis believed that at least until the UN investigation team had not left, India would not expand the war.But the current battle situation shows that Prime Minister Kahan is not just talking about it. The air strikes of the Indian Air Force no longer have strict areas. They attack all the airports near the border as they like, which makes the defense of the entire Pakistani army in a state of neglecting the other .

Like other airports near the eastern border, the entire day at Kamal Airport is spent in a scene of panic. This is one of the main airports of the 33rd Multi-purpose Fighter Wing of the Pakistan Air Force. It is in a deep area. So far India's bombs have not yet dropped here, but Pakistan is a long and narrow country, so there is no place that is completely safe.

Every few minutes, a plane will take off on the runway. Most of the planes that take off are not for combat, but are making emergency transitions to airports further west near Afghanistan to avoid being blown up on the ground.

The concerns of the Pakistan Air Force Staff are not unreasonable. This is within the attack range of the Indian Su-30MKI. The straight-line distance from the Karvala base where the Su-31MKI of the 30st (Lion) Squadron is located is only 450 kilometers. That is to say, one The Su-30 can fly over Kalmar half an hour after liftoff and drop 10 tons of bombs, enough to destroy their most hated 13th Squadron (equipped with Saab 2000 early warning aircraft) several times.

Within 10 hours, Indian attack planes had approached the airport several times. Fortunately, a newly deployed air defense brigade in the direction of Wach frightened the opponent. Several waves of MiG 27UPG were preparing to sneak in in the morning and noon. However, after the ground-to-air radar was turned on, it immediately turned around and retracted. The Indian pilot dropped cluster bombs with drogue parachutes in the farmland south of Fortress. .If they dispatched a more advanced fleet, it would be difficult to ensure that the airport would not be attacked. So far, such things have not happened; it can be seen that the Indian military also has ambivalence. They are determined to fight an all-out war, but they do not Willing to take out the expensive Su-30.

Major Song Ning of the Chinese Air Force delegation stood on a mound beside the runway, watching a huge C130 transport plane take off rumblingly and turn to the west; then a Mirage 5 fighter-bomber beside the runway roared and moved slowly At the end of the runway, ready to take off, this Phantom did not carry any bombs, only fuel tanks. Obviously, his mission was also to retreat. The Pakistani Air Force, which has always looked professional, was indeed stunned; it can be seen that their air command can only adapt to medium-sized conflict.

At this moment, Major Song Ning, who watched the planes take off one by one, was very anxious. He is the head of the delegation, and the two J-2 fighter jets waiting to be handed over are still parked in the aircraft castle of the base; if the Indian Air Force Incoming attacks, those conspicuous machine castles will obviously be the primary targets.

According to the original arrangement, the two latest B-shaped aircraft were to be handed over to Pakistani pilots for a few test flights, and then signed for delivery. However, due to the sudden India-Pakistan conflict, no one has signed this letter. After this morning, India and Pakistan are actually in a state of full-scale war. If something goes wrong, Song Ning feels that he can't afford it. You must know that these two expensive fighter jets have not yet been paid.

"These are Nighthawks."

Hearing someone talking next to him suddenly, Song Ning looked back and saw that it was Colonel Sammy, the most difficult person in the base. He didn't know when he came to the side. The colonel looked calm and not as nervous as the others.

"Have you ever driven?"

"I've flown all the planes in the Pakistan Air Force, um, with the exception of the F5C of the 16th Squadron, they won't let me touch it out of jealousy."

"Where are these planes going?" Song Ning asked, raising his head to the phantom that was about to take off.

"Peshawar, or Mian Walid Airport, in short, go to avoid the limelight. The Indians have gone crazy. Today, hundreds of sorties have been dispatched, and 3 front-line airports have been bombed. The first thing the Air Force Staff thinks is to hide the plane. Get up, not strike, you should have knocked them all down."

"The alliance has no combat missions today?" Song Ning asked.

"Of course, if escaping is considered a combat mission." The colonel shook his head and said, looking very disappointed.
