Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 288 Central Asia Passage
At this time Charmain also walked into the lounge. It took him half a second to find Singer in the crowd and nodded slightly.It can be seen that there is a smug expression in his eyebrows.

Did he get some other information from that insider?Singer changed his mind, Charmain has always been elusive recently, it seems that he has gained something again?Under normal circumstances, no one can see through his mind from his expressionless face, unless he deliberately shows some emotions, like now, this is a kind of show off, and it is also a kind of thoughtful Self-confidence; this made Singh, who is a minister, stand up unconsciously, and smiled at the intelligence chief.

"The battle situation is very... unfavorable. There must be some countermeasures to relieve the pressure on the Prime Minister." Singer took the initiative to find an opening statement. He had to use the Prime Minister as a shield, lest Charmain see that he also wanted something from him.

"I have their decision-makers most..." Charman looked around furtively, and saw that no one noticed him, most of the ministers and officials were around Chandra, listening to his eloquence Spreading defeatist sentiment, and nodding from time to time, the situation is as if Chinese tanks have reached the outskirts of New Delhi.

"People in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are always not calm enough. Things are not that bad yet. I have to report to the Prime Minister alone. I hope you will go in with me and discuss some military details." Charmain teased very appropriately One look at Chandra, which subtly brings him closer to Singh.

Singer nodded happily, and the two walked outside the prime minister's office, asking the secretary on duty to inform the prime minister immediately that there was something new to report.

"But the prime minister just lay down and it's been less than an hour."

"I must see the Prime Minister immediately, without delay for a minute. Tell the Prime Minister that it is the intelligence chief who wants to see him." Charmain said decisively ahead of Singer.The secretary stood there for a while, looking a bit embarrassed, and finally turned around and picked up the phone - on the other end of the phone, just at the other end of the corridor, were several personal staff of the prime minister.

"Yes, yes, it is an urgent matter for His Excellency the Director of Intelligence. Yes, I understand."

"The prime minister said he was looking forward to seeing you all the time."

A few minutes later, Charmain and Singer walked into the large underground conference room. Kahan in pajamas was sitting under a huge map, with his sleeves rolled up, and the health doctor beside him was checking his blood pressure.The prime minister looked pale and haggard, as if he had just been resurrected from the dead.

"You are finally here, hurry up... I know you have news."

"Yes Prime Minister, I hope to start reporting on my work as soon as possible." Charmain said, and began to take out his things from his handbag, which seemed to be a stack of photos and some documents.Singer stood aside impassively, waiting for him to speak.

"Hurry up, tell me quickly," the Prime Minister urged.

"My latest intelligence source is divided into several parts. The first part is provided by Taiwan's intelligence services. In the intelligence community, they have some unique expertise in stealing some interesting things from an impenetrable Communist bastion like China. "

As he said, he spread a few photos on the table, which seemed to be some photos taken from the platform of the train station, and the photos of trains passing by. It's hard to see, it's some tanks.

"The Chinese Communist Party's 99G main battle tanks located in North China are transporting to the west. There are about 2 regiments, about 200 vehicles. This was photographed 2 days ago. They did not adjust the shift and blocked the route to transport these heavy equipment. The efficiency of their railroads also made it easy for spies to see the weapons."

"So the rumors are true and they're going to do something at the border?" said the Prime Minister.

"Not exactly, the route we traced indicated that these tanks passed through Khorgos, and the cloud forgot about Kazakhstan," Charmain said.

"Why, it's Kazakhstan."

"As we all know, these heavy tanks are not suitable for operating on the border between our two countries." Singh interjected at the right time, "So the Chinese Communist Party will definitely negotiate with Afghanistan and Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan on the issue of ground roads. I think Director Charman is this means."

"That's right, these tanks were transported to the border area of ​​Kazakhstan, which shows that they are going to make full use of the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to bypass Central Asia and enter southern Pakistan from there."

Charman paused for a while after finishing speaking, and Kahan gradually understood the meaning. Does this mean that what he is most worried about is that the possibility of the CCP troops rushing across the border like in 1962 is reduced? He still doesn’t know, let’s just listen to the director up.

"I don't think Petrov will acquiesce in what they do. This will shake Russia's sphere of influence in Central Asia." Kahan shook his head, but he knew very well that the Russians were simply unreliable.

"President Petrov has acquiesced. They are still conducting exercises at the United Nations, pretending to seek justice for us. But just yesterday, Moscow had reached an agreement with BJ. They agreed that BJ would use Russia's power in China within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Asia’s strategic space, including the Hindu Kush Highway.”

"However, the roads in Afghanistan are still in the hands of the Americans."

"Unfortunately, the United States has also made concessions. After a while, Chandra will come running in with a sad face and report this shocking news. I got the statement from the United States in advance that the Americans will be transported by the Afghan shipping line. We cut off and were forced to be subject to China as an excuse to express regret to us, but in fact, the US government will not miss such a good thing as a direct war between China and India.

Kahan knew that what Chaman said was true. About after the ground troops occupied Karachi, the attitudes of the United States and Russia have undergone some subtle changes. It has risen to a new hegemony, so it is inclined to let China and India directly confront each other.

"Is there any other information?"

"The other is my secret insider. I have a rough grasp of a series of decisions made by the top leaders of the CCP,"

"Oh, let's talk about it."

"At present, it can be judged that the top leaders of the CCP have great differences, but their determination is not great, at least not as big as in 1962, and it is not difficult for them to see the intentions of the United States, so they have planned a series of diplomacy to leave room for advance and retreat in military operations. Take a look at the plan, which includes limited operations against Quetta, you can see," he said, unfolding a map, which is different from the huge map behind it, and many areas have been marked with various colored markers on this map.Singh took a glance and saw that there were times marked next to the red circles in some areas in southern Pakistan, which were all future times. It seemed that they would give up the timetable of the regions in turn within the next 48 hours.

"They are more afraid than us of being caught in a long-term war. The transportation line from the mainland of China, through XJ, to the Central Asian countries, and to Pakistan is undoubtedly the most tortuous land supply line unheard of in the history of human warfare, so their next step How the battle will unfold, the main consideration is General Spanga's ability to attack continuously. If they see that we are unable to fight anymore, it will obviously encourage the hawks in China to gain power, which is obviously the most detrimental to us situation."

"It's exactly the same as my judgment," the Prime Minister suddenly cheered up. "They are intimidating us, testing the truth, but in fact, they are weaker than us, I should have seen it earlier. Singer, we have advanced in the north." Fighter unit?"

"Is this...there are Triple Sonic Squadron and Tiger Shark Squadron. The former is equipped with Su-30, while the latter is currently a mix of Rafale and MiG-27."

"Adjust triple the speed of sound and fully support Spanga's operations."

It's 4:2 in the morning, [-] hours before dawn.The Quetta airport fell into a terrible calm. Apart from the occasional sporadic gunshots from anti-materiel weapons, trying to damage the optical equipment on the tank, there were few major movements.

Azarid and the remaining about 19 T70 tanks of the 90th regiment are firmly occupying the new airfield in Quetta. He has exhausted most of his fuel, so he does not want to continue the attack, but even so , It is also enough to paralyze the two runways for a full 2 hours. He knows that the temporary tranquility is the silence before the war, and the enemy will never give up the counterattack. He is waiting for the air force, but this runway is his shield. As long as the Chinese still have illusions about landing in Quetta, the air force will bombard the tanks on the runway indiscriminately. He is very sure of this.

On the opposite side of the runway, Lin Huaisheng has already photographed that the liaison personnel and Yahini completed the communication and coordination work before the unified command. The appearance of this armored company with insufficient staff gave him a bold plan. He wanted to let these 8 tanks go to ten The Indian tank group, which was twice as large as them, launched an attack.Taking advantage of the confusion, he could mobilize the troops lurking underground in advance to the ground and launch them. Such a flanking attack may deal a heavy blow to the Indians on the surface of the runway, and it is not impossible to recapture Quetta Airport.But now he faces some difficult choices, mainly how to use the night.Aki, in your opinion, the thermal imaging channel that the commander and gunner of the Indian tank cannot use at the same time is a huge weakness. Once the feint attack attracts the gunner's attention, the commander's peripheral vision mirror will be difficult to play a role.This will definitely provide an opportunity for the troops hiding in the underground facilities to come out and fight back; but what makes Lin Huaisheng embarrassed is that among the anti-tank weapons carried by these troops, except for a small number of 120mm rocket launchers, none of them have excellent night vision capabilities. , the best attack time for most 80mm rocket launchers is in the early hours of the morning.On such a windless day, soldiers can quickly disperse, and then aim at the outline of the enemy tank 200 meters away to launch rockets through probability. His infantry company has about 200 such individual rocket launchers. Enough for the Indian head to drink a pot,.

Lin Huaisheng and Yaxiyou discussed the issue of early morning attack on the radio, but Yahini strongly opposed such a plan. He was unwilling to charge against an enemy several times his own without losing the advantage of night vision. Almost suicide.In the end, Lin Huaisheng had to make a compromise. He set the attack time at 5:30 in the morning, about 10 minutes before sunrise.He required that the 120mm rocket launcher team carrying a heavy tripod must move quickly, and the time from deployment, preparation, and launch must be accurate to the second, but he also knew that the preparation time for this heavy rocket launcher was very long, and the enemy tanks were divided into two parts. It is too scattered to be unnoticed; the only thing to count on is that the excessive fatigue of the Indian tank soldiers can help them.
