Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 281 Sneak Attack on the Flying Snake
Another artillery shell roared and flew over to penetrate the bunker, and then shot into the front of the vehicle body. This shell had more kinetic energy and stopped on the altitude plane, completely destroying the artillery shell. It was only halfway away from Abad. meters away.

Now, the chariot is completely unable to fire.Abad sat back in his usual captain's seat, listening to the crackling of the outside.He thought carefully about what else he could do, as if there was nothing left to do.

The radio hissed, and it seemed that on the common frequency of the legion, there were friendly troops wanting to talk, which made him feel strange. The Pakistani army in this area has long been caught in a situation of fighting on its own, and he has not passed through for a long time. The radio station has received any orders from superiors, and the Chinese will not use this unencrypted channel. In fact, throughout the afternoon, the Chinese communicated with him through the contact staff using broken Sindhi and gestures.

Abad picked up the intercom.

"This is the No.12 Army Armored Regiment, please tell me."

The other party was stunned for a moment, probably because they didn't know that the No.12 Reserve Army actually had an armored regiment.

"What's the situation at Quetta Airport? We're coming." Apparently, there was a Pakistani on the opposite side of the radio station, who should be within 10 kilometers. He probably wanted to know the situation before entering the battlefield.

"The airport is still under control, but their attack is fierce, and their heavy troops are in the north. By the way, who are you?"

"I am the advance unit of the [-]st Armored Division."

"First Armored Division?" Abad became puzzled. "Hasn't the waste of the First Armored Division been surrounded by Indians in the east?" He said bluntly.

"Surround us? No! We are coming, please rest assured that the [-]st Armored Division is the best armored force in Pakistan." Sergeant Yahini shouted on the other end of the radio, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with Abad's rash words.

"Let me remind you that there is a whole regiment of tanks from the White Tiger Division here. If they capture the airport... In any case, you'd better get there sooner."

"White Tiger Master again? That's great, I'll give them a little more pain." The young man on the other side of the radio replied in a very frivolous tone, and then turned off the radio.

"It's so easy to say." Abad shook his head.

The Indian tank that went around to the flank finally found the blazing tank destroyer. What surprised the Indian tank commander the most was that he searched the entire area slowly, but did not see the second tank.He has been carefully searching the surroundings in the channel of the thermal imaging camera, looking out for threats lurking nearby, but he did not see any other armed forces until he found Abad.And the huge enemy tank still stayed in the ambush position a few minutes ago, without switching positions at all, and a large number of Indian tank wrecks were parked in front of his muzzle.

"This bastard is too crazy, aim at its side and beat it hard." The Indian driver said viciously.This chariot was indeed hated. In a few minutes, he destroyed most of the Indian troops of the company, and one of the command vehicles of the battalion headquarters brought huge damage to the entire offensive.

The gun barrel of the T90 ejected flames of revenge, and the commander watched helplessly as the shell hit the target, but did not cause any reaction.

The automatic loader loaded ammunition quickly, and the strangely shaped Pakistani tank had no intention of fighting back.It stayed there straight up, with the front burning all the way.

"Filled."

"Keep shooting."

The second shell also hit the turret, but still did not cause an explosion.The excess kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectile made it easy to penetrate the 4 cm thick armor on both sides of the turret, but it did not cause too much damage to the turret with the skylight opened.

"The muzzle is aimed at the rear of the car body." The Indian commander added an order.He finally saw the way. Since the engine of this chariot was clearly in the front, perhaps his deadly part should be in the back.

"complete."

"Hit hard!"

The third shot finally caused the tank to burn and explode.In the flames, the daunting cannon rose high, and then fell down in the flames.No one climbed out of the chariot, it seemed to be dead for a long time.

Lin Huaisheng looked at the flames in the north from a distance. He saw the whole battle situation through the binoculars. The Type 89 held back the enemy's main attack, and now one of his troops has rushed over from the other side of the runway and invested in the defense. In battle.How did that amazing tank do it?Judging from the designation, this is just a reserve force, but its demeanor of death is really shocking.

"Chief of Staff, call the headquarters."

Someone awakened Lin Huaisheng from his stupor.He put down the binoculars and picked up the satellite phone communicator.

"This is the headquarters of the Airborne Force. I am Lin Huaisheng, and I am waiting for a call."

After a delay, someone finally spoke.

"Chief of Staff Lin, concentrate all your strength to defend this airport, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Yes, Chief, please remind Wang Zhenbei that he cannot cross the runway directly. There are a lot of mines in the open land to the east."

The call stopped again. Since his command vehicle was destroyed, the satellite communication with the headquarters now needs to be connected through the command plane in the air, so the delay problem is inevitable.

A few seconds passed.

"No, Wang Zhenbei is not coming. The enemy's three armored divisions and two mechanized infantry divisions are making a rapid assault in the Quetta Mountains. His troops need to stay there to guard the danger. We can't just think about the present. The headquarters judges in 48 hours. , There will be a decisive battle of the main force.”

"How can that work? I need heavy armored units to guard the airport."

"There will be. We have never known that there is a unit of the Pakistani [-]st Armored Division resting in the north, and now this unit is coming."

"What troops?"

"The heavy tank unit is also a new type of heavy tank we provide, and this unit has actual combat experience."

"How to contact?"

"Temporarily unable to contact, when they approach, you can use red flares to remind them of the direction of attack to avoid accidental injury."

Lin Huaisheng was very surprised and said that he did not expect that in modern warfare, signal flares are used instead of digital chains to communicate with friends and neighbors.But he also knew that most of the soldiers in the Pakistani Army could not speak English, and even if they could communicate by radio, they still had to rely on gestures to guess and make gestures.

Several fighter planes whizzed past Lin Huaisheng's head, then turned and flew towards the mountainous area. Although none of these heavy planes carried anti-ground weapons and could only watch the enemy tanks attack, at least the air superiority near the airport was still in hand.

In the air, the air police command plane is guiding about 10 planes to intercept, return, or refuel. All fighter planes in the air have data link guidance. Except for a Pakistani J-10 plane talking to itself, the rest of the planes are In orderly control.

Unlike a few hours ago, when there were only two or three aircraft in the air at any time, air power has accumulated now, and the assembly of air power is always much easier than ground troops.

The Chinese Air Force already has 3 early warning aircraft and 2 tanker aircraft in this area. After taking off from Peshawar, these aircraft maneuver along the border.After an Il-76 accidentally made an emergency landing in Kandahar, it gained an additional benefit, that is, the bottom line of NATO's air defense was almost touched. Obviously, the warnings from their planes were just bluffs, and the pilots did not have a real order to fire.After midnight, all transport planes flew directly from the new route on the Afghan side to avoid the threat of medium-range bombs carried by Indian Su-30s to the Peshawar-Quetta corridor.

The President of Afghanistan has announced to the world that China will be allowed to use the airspace on a limited basis, which makes NATO's countermeasures have to be vague.In fact, NATO’s ambiguity also has its hidden meaning. After Karachi was controlled by India, the land supply line of the Afghan base has been completely cut off, and China has the most complete air transportation channel in XJ that can cover the entire region. However, the Chinese government uncharacteristically stated that Can help, from the perspective of immediate interests, it seems to be the best option to solve the problem, so it is not wise to turn your face now.

Sami has been observing the entire airspace through the data link. Sometimes he will tell the command plane what to do through the radio, but the command plane has always ignored him.

On the vertical display, several batches of Indian aircraft approached from different directions. These aircraft were found 290 kilometers away. They were obviously huge Su-30 aircraft. This is currently the only aircraft in India capable of long-distance combat. It just lacks a few ground attack weapons that can be fired from outside the area.

Judging from the number of takeoffs, India seems to have gathered half of the Su-30 squadrons. This has not happened since the start of the war. It seems that the enemy also knows that their victory may slip away from their hands.Sami has always disliked night battles, which will turn the battle into a purely medium-range missile confrontation. The essence of this kind of battle is to compete with radar performance and the number of missiles, and the J-10 is comparable to the Su-30 in terms of ammunition load. at a disadvantage.

The data link sent new information. A new batch of enemy planes taking off from the northeast direction appeared. Judging from the direction, it is likely to be the Su-30 taking off from Calvala, but only one lone plane appeared abnormal. .Sammy knew that in addition to the cowardly Lion Squadron, Alvara also had the electronic jammers of the Viper Squad.These tricky planes will never stay close to the battlefield and will not attack with the team, but they are likely to be the unit that India scored the most in this war; it is said that this unit already has 4 electronic jamming planes modified from Su-30. The numbers enable them to initially have the ability to suppress continuously on duty in an area.

"Commander, I want to attack the fourth batch of targets." Sami asked for the battle in English. He had just finished refueling, and there were still 4 combat bombs on the plane.

"Colonel, those are Indian electronic jammers. They are very ghostly. You can't hit them."

"If you don't try it, how do you know?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Sneaking behind them, of course,"

"Using the terrain of the Suleiman Mountains to avoid A50's surveillance? It's too dangerous to fly low at night."

"Of course not under their noses, but the location of the A50 is too far north, and I can detour around Maukran."

This plan obviously exceeds the combat radius of the J-10 fighter jets, but it seems to be feasible. Being able to kill a "flying snake" electronic jammer seems to be of great significance to the ground-to-air missile troops hiding in the mountains and always on tenterhooks.
