Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 276 Attack and Defense under the Night
Azarid, who was acting quietly, suddenly learned that the enemy's headquarters was moving south. He found that the enemy had insight into his sneak attack. Perhaps the enemy's air force had discovered the movement of troops, and perhaps the remnants of Pakistan in the city had reported his attack. However, he was not surprised. War has always been a contest where the devil is one foot higher than the other.He immediately added a few orders, and revised the original plan, changing the direction of the main attack to a feint attack, so that most of the troops turned around and crossed the city again, turning north.There was not much fuel left in the army, just enough for his last few tosses.However, relying on the excellent training level of the White Tiger Division, he still has the ability to quickly change the course of action at night without falling into chaos.

In Quetta City, the rumbling sound of the engine running was heard again, but through the night, the direction of the transfer could not be heard.The new report was sent to Lin Huaisheng's mobile headquarters.He judged that it might be that the enemy was going to feign an attack from the frontal minefield before the general attack, so he didn't care.

The early warning aircraft in the air reminded Lin Huaisheng's headquarters to pay attention to maneuvering from time to time. From the known intelligence, the Indians have obtained cruise missiles that can be fired from outside the defense zone through the Rafale deal. A command post of an armored car and six jeeps.Of course, Lin Huaisheng also knew that due to the disorder of the GPS signal, the possibility of such a threat was not very high. Common sense told him that, relying on the topography of the Suleiman Mountains, could the electronic reconnaissance troops under the Indian Army be able to detect it? One's own position is also a small probability event of the two.

Amidst the huge roar, the tenth transport plane finally landed. Lin Huaisheng couldn't hold back his excitement. After a few minutes, three Red Arrow 10 launch vehicles equipped with advanced night vision equipment entered his sequence.At that time, the problem of one-way transparency on the battlefield can be partially resolved.

In the night sky, two Rafale fighter jets approached the Suleiman Mountains secretly from the east.One of the Rafale formations carried a stand-off launch weapon. This cruise missile had only been used a few times in actual combat, and it had only been launched once in this war, and it performed extremely poorly, with a hit rate of Zero; that failed operation not only caused a missing missile to fall into Iran, but also caused a Rafale to be shot down by an enemy plane that was pursuing it because it could not launch the missile.But right now, in the face of increasingly stringent air defenses, this missile is the only weapon that the Indian Air Force can effectively support ground forces.The ground team has measured the position of the enemy's headquarters, and the enemy is becoming less and less mobile. It seems that it is time to put it all together.

This is a long-range weapon that does not rely entirely on GPS. It can find fixed large-scale targets by virtue of its terrain matching capabilities. The theoretical accuracy is not enough to perform this mission. However, the Air Force urgently needs to show something to the furious Prime Minister and is forced to take Give it a try.To be on the safe side, the Air Force's plan is not to let the Rafale penetrate too much, anyway, the range of the Scarp missile is sufficient.

The pilots of the Tiger Shark Squadron carefully flew close to the high mountains, not only vigilant against various radar scans from the open space, but also worried about another thing: it is said that after the missile is powered on, it may not be able to leave the launch pad. , the launch cannot be terminated.

The leader of the Rafale, who was performing an air control mission, found that the radar beam scanning him was changing, and the enemy plane was constantly changing the pulse repetition rate, focusing on searching in this direction, which indicated that they might have noticed it, and he began to urge his wingman to fire and leave immediately. .

The tiger shark wingman hastily dropped the missile, turned around and headed back east, leaving everything to the missile itself.

Scarp has considerable stealth capabilities, and the set flying altitude is very low, so it should be able to avoid the nearby CCP fighter jets and the early warning aircraft near the border.

To the south of Quetta Airport, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, and it seemed that the enemy had really made a move.According to the predetermined plan, the mortars began to fire flares continuously. When the flares in the air illuminated the front into daylight, the enemy tanks in the distance could be seen rapidly approaching.

"Can you block the enemy? Let's do it again." Lin Huaisheng started talking to himself.In fact, he has never commanded more than a company of troops, nor has he seen groups of tanks rushing towards him at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.Theoretically, the firepower he configured is just enough, but whether he can really resist it, he has no idea at all.

The Indian tanks advanced in a wall formation, which was conducive to the display of firepower, and it was not easy for the opponent to notice the real number.According to Azarid's plan, there was a time lag between the first feint attack and the later main attack, which could throw the enemy's command into chaos-if he was not destroyed by the air force.

All kinds of well-concealed anti-tank weapons are waiting at the airport.The shooters were aimed at their respective targets in the sights, waiting for the enemy to enter the range; the enemy a few kilometers away suddenly stopped, seemingly giving up the assault because of timidity.Sure enough, the Indian T90 changed its strategy and began to launch artillery-launched missiles, launching the first round of sloppy attacks on the Chinese troops behind the bunker.

Abad, who was outside the shooting range, saw some tricks (with the help of 8X optical sighting and flares slowly falling from the sky), he sensed that the situation was different, and immediately got out of the turret to find the Chinese liaison officer, and told him that the number of enemies was unexpected many.

Lao Ding felt that this guy was a little suspicious, but after all he had seen how he fought, so he immediately reported to Lin Huaisheng.On the other side of the radio station, Lin Huaisheng hesitated, and he also felt that the driver's judgment might be right.

While waiting for the order, Lao Ding saw a dazzling white light rising from the sky.The light quickly approached and flashed in front of his eyes.Amidst the roar, scorching air brushed Lao Ding's face, and he noticed that the missile flew towards the middle of the runway, that is... the area where the headquarters was just now.

The huge explosion instantly grabbed everyone's attention, and it was many times stronger than the flames fired by other weapons on the battlefield.

"There should be no troops deployed there," Lao Ding's brain hesitated, "unless Lin Huaisheng's headquarters is still in place." He thought.

The radio station completely lost contact.Amidst the huge flames, the 11th transport plane landed on the old airport one kilometer away.In any case, we must persist in the fight. Lao Ding turned his head and said to the dignified Pakistani driver: "You can figure it out yourself."

Abad saluted the lieutenant colonel. This is the order he wanted. He was grateful to the Chinese for coming to save his country, but he didn't want to obey them.The organization of the Chinese in this battle is very messy. For several hours, Abad has been paying attention to the weapons unloaded by the Chinese transport planes. Except for the powerful missile launcher, the rest of the wheeled tanks Neither are well suited for this fight.He even had a guess that the Chinese were able to quickly organize a sudden plane landing, indicating that they were indeed prepared, but all this did not seem to be prepared for Quetta. Judging from their personnel and weapons, they were originally planning to land The place should be a place that lacks armor threats and the terrain is moderately undulating; and the rescue of Quetta may be a forced move in desperation.

Abad returned to the chariot. Now he is the only heavy armor force in this area. He feels that he must complete his mission according to his own ideas. His instinct tells him that it is wrong to stay here.

"Boss, how is the communication going?" the driver asked.

"I don't know, I was about to tell them what I thought, and the Indians fired an Agni missile, which probably took their headquarters, so we'll have to hold this place on our own."

"What do you say? We listen to you."

"Turn north. I think the enemy will start there."

The lone tank destroyer, turning its tracks to the north, hurried to the other end of the runway riddled with holes.The roar of fighter jets in the sky shows that air supremacy is still in hand, but how did the enemy's missiles get in?

When the tank destroyer passed through the wall of fire in the center of the runway, it saw a six-wheeled armored vehicle that had been blown to the ground. There was a shallow pit with a large diameter beside the vehicle.Judging from the extra antenna on the armored vehicle, it appears to be a command vehicle.

The Indian electronic reconnaissance force on the mountain found that 80 kilometers away, the radio signal near the old airport in Quetta was suddenly interrupted, and they transmitted the news to the relay plane.

Spanga in the headquarters has been waiting for the news of the attack. According to his own estimation, the probability of success is less than one-tenth. After all, the most ideal way is to use several INS/GPS weapons, which are more accurate. The attack range is also larger.An officer brought him good news: "General, the enemy's ground command has disappeared after the missile strike."

Spanga didn't dare to rashly believe such a good thing. He sat where he was, waited carefully for a while, and saw the liaison officer outside the door coming in again:
"General, the reconnaissance team found that their radio group started working again. It seems that the attack did not paralyze their ground command."

"Well, as expected." Spanga shook his head helplessly.Although he has never been superstitious about luck, at least just now, he still felt very disappointed. God seemed to have destined that this war would not have an easy end, and he had a premonition that troublesome things were yet to come.

Lin Huaisheng sat 200 meters from the still burning ruins, waiting for a health worker to bandage his head.When the missile exploded, he was looking from a high place, far away, only his head was cut by shrapnel, and his hearing was temporarily affected.He couldn't believe that the enemy really used a cruise missile to kill him. Of course, for Lin Huaisheng, who was an intelligence analyst, he was keenly aware of the real key point: the enemy always knew that his headquarters was in the Where to move; that is.They can guess the focus of their defense, so will they really attack without changing?
