Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 277 Satellite Guided Bomb
Lin Huaisheng saw the silhouette of a huge tank passing by in the darkness. He once suspected that the Indian tank had entered from somewhere. After a closer look, it turned out that it was a Type 89 tank destroyer. Many white tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are densely painted on the turret, which seems to be some kind of wreck mark.

"Damn it, they didn't draw it themselves, did they?" Lin Huaisheng asked.This batch of obsolete weapons was what he suggested to his superiors to be transported to the port of Karachi. At that time, it was to support the war of attrition that Pakistan would face. He never thought that such weapons could have such a high exchange rate.

"Chief of Staff, it doesn't seem fake. I have been in charge of liaison in the south of the airport all afternoon. These tanks have wiped out nearly a company of T90s. This is the last one left. The commander is a bearded man. " said a non-commissioned officer.

"The last one? That is to say, all of them are sold out?" Lin Huaisheng murmured.

Azarid, who had just maneuvered into place, was observing the movement of the airport through a thermal imager.The white light from the landing of Chinese transport planes obscured his vision, and the landing interval of these transport planes was decreasing, indicating that the enemy's ground maneuvers were becoming more efficient.This is not good news. Azarid waited patiently for the transport plane to land slowly and fly to a place in the west where he could not see. Looking in the mirror, the distant target became clear again.Between the old and new airports, there are a large number of buildings mixed together, consisting of five-story houses and circular aircraft forts. These buildings are facing their own attack routes and have a good shooting range. If there are ambushes there and they have night vision capabilities, it is completely Can threaten the weak flanks of tanks.But he was confident that his well-trained troops could move quickly through the area.If all goes well, the entire attack will end within 20 minutes with his two armies joining forces in the center of the runway, and then the troops will cross the isolation area between the two runways, and the direct firepower of the tanks will be able to attack those who are still stubbornly rising. Once the last transportation corridor in southern Pakistan is cut off, the outcome of the war will be settled.

"The guns of the vanguard are aimed at the front, and the rest are aimed at 3 o'clock. Prepare to charge." Azarid arranged it hastily, and then waited for a call with the headquarters.It was impossible for General Spanga to provide any assistance at the moment, but he hoped that when he attacked the runway, the Air Force could provide some strong support.

At this moment, the air supremacy of the Chinese Air Force over Quetta is being tested. Within two hours, Singh mobilized several Su-2MKIs from the northern squadrons to fight for air supremacy. The ammunition load gradually stabilized and began to further compress the airspace controlled by the Chinese Air Force.

The command plane that has been wandering back to the border has detected the intensive mobilization of enemy planes, and the air-ground defense is becoming precarious.The command plane notified the ground command of this situation and told Lin Huaisheng that the enemy's determination in the air was getting stronger. The call signs of several air force squadrons that had been identified belonged to the core troops defending Uttar Pradesh, such as "Lion", "Three times the speed of sound" and "Rhino", and the take-off and landing capabilities of Shamsi's base have been overdrawn, and they cannot afford more fighter jets to take off and land.

Lin Huaisheng asked the command plane to connect him directly to his superiors. He kept moving around the airport to guard against bombs that might fall on his head at any time. What he needs most now is immediate assistance, and the solution to the headache is obvious. is not feasible.

Before he set off hastily, the plan for the second step had been under study. He didn't know if the discussion about expanding the scale of the battle was over. It's just the determination of the decision-makers.Now it seems that Kahan and Singh have recovered from their initial panic, and their arrogance to win at all costs has gradually begun to burn again. They must be given a cold water, but this move is not Quetta.

India's northern border. Four MiG-4 fighter jets flew westward close to the border. They lowered their altitude over the Siachen Glacier to avoid radar surveillance from the north.

These planes were not in the air to participate in the air strike on Fort ***.These planes took off just for bluffing. After most of the Su-30 squadrons made a secret transition to the south, in order to stabilize this air defense line, such bluffing was indeed necessary.

The radar on the Chinese side has been tracking the movement of these planes, and found that behind the border, there are only some MiG-21s that usually retreat to the second line. Normally, the Indian Air Force will maintain at least one squadron of Su-30s in the south of Srinagar. And an early warning aircraft, but after nightfall, these aircraft disappeared. This is consistent with the information sent back from the Quetta front, and the enemy is playing empty-handed tactics.

The entire Jammu and Kashmir region is the gateway to India's economic and political center, and it is also a barrier. In view of the lessons of the war in 1962, Spanga assembled five Indian Army armies in this area, with about 5 people.Of these troops, only a small part participated in the offensive for Kashmir and the Fortress, and most of them were used to guard against possible Chinese attacks.The Indian army also unscrupulously deployed a large number of mobile radar stations in the newly occupied Siachen Glacier area to monitor China's airspace. These plateau radars offset Aksai Chin's altitude advantage; The transfer had a negative impact.The second plan that Lin Huaisheng knew was to take advantage of the situation and remove these radar stations when the Indian Air Force moved south.

Just north of the Lekqing River Valley, two fighter jets stayed in the air, waiting for the command of the air command plane, and at the same time, the air command plane was still waiting for the decision maker's decision.

Pilot Zheng Hui carefully controlled the flight to avoid getting too close to several surrounding mountains above 5000 meters. He could only keep a low altitude to prevent the Indian radar from detecting him.The occupation of the Siachen Glacier by the Indian army has indeed had a great impact on the mobilization of the Chinese Air Force in this area. Fortunately, the deployment of these mobile radar stations is not tight enough, and there are dead spots in many directions. This is probably because India The legal radar has weak wind resistance and cannot occupy several condescending air outlets.Zheng Hui knew that not long ago, an ace pilot in Pakistan took advantage of this loophole when he attacked the Indian early warning aircraft over Kashmir.

It has only been a few weeks since Zheng Hui was transferred to the new unit. He had previously received training on the J-11BS fighter jet, which made him adapt to the new fighter jet quickly. However, the plane he is flying now is more advanced than the J-11BS fighter jet. The main advantage is reflected in the ability to attack.Zheng Hui does not have much experience in ground attack. In the past, he drove the J-8II in the subjects of throwing ordinary bombs and launching rockets, and his grades were not satisfactory. Familiarity with border terrain and the ability to fly concealedly in mountainous areas do not seem to place much importance on ground shooting.

His superiors told him that the new satellite-guided weapons can directly hit the target, and he doesn't even have to worry about the laser irradiation.He didn't know that the Air Force had already equipped a new type of bomb similar to the Joint Attack Munition (JDAM) of the US military, because the Beidou system, as an active positioning system, would pose a great challenge to the design of satellite-guided weapons. Now it seems that this kind of worry is extra.

The US military messed up the GPS signals in the whole area, it seems to want to cause some problems for both sides, but in general it seems to add much more nausea to India. In the past few months, the operation of the Beidou positioning system in the war has matured It seems that in addition to conventional navigation, the use of some new satellite-guided weapons has finally been brought to the foreground, and the two fighters mounted satellite-guided bombs ready to try their skills.

Seeing that the MiG-51 formation of the 21st Squadron of India exhausted its voyage and turned to Srinagar, leaving only a lonely radar station.But the order still hasn't been issued.The fire control system of this aircraft stores the coordinate data of all Indian radars, and the attack is as simple as pressing a few buttons.

"Two holes, according to the original plan..." The command plane finally spoke, but at the critical moment, the radio paused for a few seconds.

"Yellow River, here are two holes, the signal is not very clear, please repeat."

"The order has been issued, and we will act according to the original plan."

"Understood." Zheng Hui replied calmly.

"Enter the attack route, the attack has been approved," he said to the weapons operator in the back seat.

"clear."

Of course, things are not really as simple as pressing a few buttons. The Air Force does not yet have the ability to attack outside the area, so it is particularly important to approach the enemy as stealthily as possible. After all, those radar stations have the ability to maneuver.According to the estimation of the headquarters, in high-altitude areas, radar maneuvers will not be too fast. This is the conclusion obtained by referring to China's own mobile radars deployed in similar areas; but Zheng Hui has other plans in mind. Can not live up to such a golden opportunity.

He lowered the plane and passed under the dark mountain peaks. He knew this area well, and with the help of powerful navigation capabilities, he could completely catch his opponents by surprise at night.

The radar warning device did not respond, and the Indian MiG formation has been retreating with its head buried, which shows that the enemy did not notice it.Half of the radars deployed by India on the glacier are on the south side to monitor the Fortress, and the other half are on the ridge, pointing in the direction of China.To destroy all these radars, if other troops are mobilized, about one brigade is needed, but for this new type of multi-purpose fighter, two are enough, and the bomb load of this fighter is about twice that of the J-2BS. Combat effectiveness is far more than 11 times.

The plane flies completely according to the flight path, and the route is determined by inertial navigation and satellite navigation. The bomb will fly to the target in the same way later.After tight data link coordination, the two fighter planes crossed the mountains at the same time and appeared in front of the Indian radar separated by tens of kilometers.The Indian radar operators were really caught off guard. They saw the fighter plane flying flat for a few seconds, then turned around and ran away. The radar did not detect the large number of bombs dropped by the plane, and was flying towards various targets by gliding.

The Indian radar soldiers guessed that the enemy plane must have dropped its weapon, and immediately shut down the machine to prevent the anti-radiation missile from flying towards the antenna.However, such measures obviously will not be effective, and the satellite-guided bombs fly completely according to the fixed route and satellite signal correction.
