Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 269 The Cowardly Lion
Lin Huaisheng dare not say that he has firmly controlled the airport. The enemy's firepower in Quetta still far exceeds the defensive forces he can see (including the dwindling Pakistani troops). The iron hooves of the Indian armored division Temporarily blocked by the chaotic streets, but not for long.These enemies are definitely not hesitant people, they are very good at attacking, and he has already known this since he learned the enemy's number.

Azarid in the city couldn't wait for the air force to fully control the air supremacy. He watched the enemy's third large transport plane land under his nose, and he knew that the enemy was rapidly strengthening its strength.It is unrealistic to count on the Air Force. Fortunately, in his plan, he did not rely too much on the Air Force.Di Gaqua's setback made it necessary for him to change his strategy.He ordered each company to spread out from north to south, pushing each word flat.Attacking westward from every possible street in Quetta City, he expected that such an attack would increase losses, but now is not the time to consider losses.

Lin Huaisheng saw that the enemy is changing formation from the footage captured by the drone in front of him. This shows that the enemy will soon change from a fast-fighting plan to a reckless one. This shows that the enemy commander is not confused at all. He knows war How to choose between.

"They are about to collide with us head-on." An officer said in Lin Huaisheng's ear.

"Let the first company complete the trench as soon as possible and prepare for defensive operations." He glanced at the trench being dug next to the runway and said. At present, there are only a few barbed wire fences blocking the open land on the east side of the runway, which cannot stop the tanks at all.He estimated that it would take several minutes for the enemy to rush across the open field, and this time is the best time for anti-tank weapons to exert their power.

"Chief of Staff, don't you send our people to the city to intercept?"

"Our military strength is too weak. At present, we can only strengthen the perimeter of the airport. Putting a few hundred people into Quetta will not help." Just after he finished speaking, a transport plane roared and pulled up behind him, and it circled west quickly. Climb above the clouds.

"Time is still on the enemy's side," Lin Huaisheng shook his head and said, "The Indian commander in the city is as clear as we are... this."

After Colonel Sami left the sky over Quetta, Liu Zhaolin, who took off from Shemuxi, took over the air defense.The two J-2A fighter jets that took off from China were ordered to defend the south, which is the area where the enemy may launch airdrops, and he must alone provoke the defense of the entire northern airspace.

There is now an Air Police 200 early warning aircraft flying close to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to provide early warning, which is a narrow passage that Air Force transport aircraft and early warning aircraft can still use.Liu Zhaolin could see through the data link that four to six NATO planes were following closely on the west side of the AWACS at any time. If the plane belonged to Pakistan, they might have already attacked it.

"Turn around, and found that the Indian plane was crossing the Suleiman Mountains, from the northwest."

"I didn't see it." Liu Zhaolin said. On his vertical monitor, there was no synchronous enemy data.

"This was discovered by the warning radar of the missile force. I can't confirm the location at the current angle. Just wait a little longer."

The Indians have a lot of fighter jets in their hands, but not many can break through the Suleiman Mountains calmly. Except for the mysterious gust of wind, which is the Su-30MKI that took off from the north, the range of the rest of the fighter jets is relatively reluctant. This is also the sky over Quetta. One major reason why air supremacy is still not lost.Liu Zhaolin judged from where the enemy situation appeared, it should be the Su-30MKI, maybe the heroic Indian Eagle Squadron, or the rumored not-so-tough Lion Squadron.Since he lost the last battle against Rafale, he has been holding back to find an Indian plane to fight, otherwise he would not be able to hold his head up in front of Song Ning.

The air police early warning plane turned a corner, and now she could finally see the formation of enemy planes circling over the mountains. They were two Su-30 fighter jets.

"Turn around, the enemy turned around, just launched an anti-radiation missile, and is currently searching for our fire control radar."

"Request a deep attack, I can approach at a low altitude."

The AWACS hesitated for a moment. The J-11A in the south was still waiting for the refueling aircraft. She was currently in the state of a poor commander. If Liu Zhaolin escaped, the AWACS would have a very large loophole. Suddenly popped up at the dead end of the scouting.

"Be careful not to go too deep."

"Moving Guai understands."

At the same time, two Su-2MKIs of the Lion Squadron are performing the task of suppressing anti-aircraft firepower in mountainous areas.The enemy's mobile radars in the mountainous area are being chased by them. The next time they dare to turn on secretly, the pilots are sure to blow them into the sky.There are a large number of missile launch vehicles hiding in this valley, waiting for the opportunity to regain control of the airspace, but they are not the point. The cover of these positions lies in the radar.Once enemy illuminating radars have redeployed from their downfall, they can direct missiles farther out than anti-radiation missiles.But the Lion Squadron is constantly searching here, the purpose is to make the enemy look down.

Liu Zhaolin flew from the direction of Quetta and approached secretly, and then the early warning aircraft reminded him to climb to gain the altitude advantage, and then he used the radar to easily find the first batch of targets, which turned out to be two Su-11MKIs that were much more expensive than the J-30B.The advantage in height allows Liu Zhaolin to fire medium-range bombs first.After one-on-one tracking, he fired 2 missiles at a barely close distance. After all, the enemy had 2 missiles. He had to test the opponent's strength before deciding on the next move.

The enemy plane immediately dropped the ground radar and began to flee, not only the one that Liu Zhaolin intercepted and attacked, but the other one also fled.This surprised Liu Zhaolin, he even began to wonder if the enemy had a trap waiting for him to penetrate, how could he give up the confrontation so easily?After the setback of fighting Gust, he has become less impulsive than before.He stabilized the fighter plane and firmly pointed the nose at the enemy. Judging from the range of the missile, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the enemy plane, but the enemy was still accelerating and had no intention of turning around.It seems that these two enemy planes with no fighting spirit really do not plan to fight against twice as many opponents.

This attack gave the Red Flag 9 fire control radar hidden in the mountain a chance to restart.Since it was suppressed by the enemy air force, this mobile radar has been in a long-term transfer, and the enemy in the air has been using radar to search the mountains without interruption, expecting to find radar/command/launch vehicles, and get rid of them quickly. During this period A warning radar that was secretly turned on has been destroyed, and the reaction of the enemy's radar warning/measurement system and anti-radiation missiles has exceeded the expectations of the ground commander.The appearance of Liu Zhaolin made the situation reversed.The fire control radar turned on again occupied the airspace again.Knocks enemies out of range.

The data link of the J-11B began to be updated. Outside the narrow beam of its mechanical radar in the tracking state, the second batch of enemy aircraft was also exposed. This was the second batch of enemy aircraft intercepted by the ground fire control radar. Second enemy plane.

It was a formation of Mirage 2000 fighter jets approaching at low altitude. They have been using the mountains to avoid the air police 200 in the west. Maybe they want to attack the airport in Quetta, maybe they want to attack the early warning aircraft. In short, the escape of the lion made the defender finally complete a The ground-air integrated radar network began to take effect, and the Mirage fighter was suddenly in a state of nowhere to hide.

Liu Zhaolin resolutely left the distant Su-30 and turned to attack these closer and more dangerous targets. He began to get a little restless again. He thought that he might be going out of business today.

As a heavy fighter in the high-low combination envisaged by the Air Force many years ago, the record of the J-11 in this war is far inferior to that of the J-10, even when the JH-7 and J-8II already have records of shooting down enemy aircraft. However, the last record of shooting down the J-11 was done by a Pakistani pilot, and the number of times this type of aircraft was shot down/damaged was unusually high, and Liu Zhaolin himself experienced it once.

Several missiles soared from the ground and quickly surpassed Liu Zhaolin, who was 5000 meters away, and rushed towards the enemy plane. This was the Hongqi missile attacking.

Liu Zhaolin looked at the unusually tortuous condensation trail left by the missile after it flew past. It seemed that the enemy was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they were desperately dodging.

India's command loopholes prevented the Mirage 2000 of the Tiger Squadron from receiving any warning. Even though they sensed that the ground radar was turned on at 3 o'clock, the Lions did not warn them that there were enemy fighters in the sky when they fled.

The 3 Mirages dropped the bombs they carried (prepared for the Chinese troops deployed at Quetta Airport) and turned to avoid the phased array radar. Before the missile radar was turned on, 2 Mirage 2000s finally hid in the valley where the radar could not see , but the lead plane of the formation was still seen by the missile active radar.

It is a missile with a high hit rate and has a warhead with a much higher damage rate than an air-to-air missile.The pilot tried his best to make a sharp turn, and this momentary circling caused the missile radar to temporarily disengage, but this action also exhausted the speed of the aircraft, and the Phantom could not sustain such an angular velocity.The pilot watched the huge missile fly by one side without exploding, and thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but the missile did not fly out of the battlefield, but instead started to turn. It seems that the ground radar is correcting its course, and it has to go back and do it again .The pilot turned his head and saw that the second missile was dragging flames out of the clouds below, and it was rushing forward with a strong momentum. The pilot knew that there would be no chance today, so he decisively chose to parachute.After he ejected, the plane continued to fly wearily south, where two missiles hit it one after the other, tearing it to shreds.

At this moment, Liu Zhaolin has rushed to the area where the last two Phantoms disappeared from the radar. It can be guessed that the remaining enemy planes are in a state of panic, and now is a good time to strike.However, neither the early warning aircraft nor the ground radar could update the traces of these enemy planes, so he could only find them by himself.

If you try to think like the enemy, they should risk their lives by flying low and clinging to the south side of the mountain to avoid the ground.Liu Zhaolin adjusted the pulse repetition rate to a high position while lowering the altitude.Soon the first target was on the HUD.Almost in line of sight, he did a quick one-on-one tracking and opted to use the mid-range rounds (he took off with too many mid-range rounds).

The enemy plane that was being tracked began to panic, trying to turn the nose of the plane and fight to the death.The weak turn of the enemy plane could not get rid of the radar at all, and Liu Zhaolin launched 8 missiles 2 kilometers away.The active radar of the missile found the target when it was turned on.

Liu Zhaolin watched the missile fly towards the target, and at the same time kept an eye on another enemy plane, but it never appeared. It seems that the lead plane was destroyed by the surface-to-air missile just now, and now the other two Mirages have lost their unified command.

The Phantom in front tried to escape with electronic jamming and chaff, but at such a short distance, the missile radar can already burn through the chaff, and electronic jamming has limited effect on active radar-guided weapons that do not rely on radio correction.The enemy plane, whose evasive movements were soft, was hit and fell to the ground. Liu Zhaolin, who was trailing behind, couldn't help feeling a little proud, as if the former enemy defeated by the gust of wind had been settled.He thought that the Phantom 2000H was a good target. It appeared to be a third-generation machine, but in fact its performance was not very good.
