Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 295

The captain didn't have time to cheer, the thunder above his head swooped down as if about to drop a bomb.The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun immediately turned on the search radar and tracked the plane overhead. As expected, the plane began to hesitate and dare not continue to dive.The Indian commander has always been afraid of laser-guided bombs dropped by enemy planes, which can completely destroy anti-aircraft guns outside the range.But after circling for a long time, the plane did not drop any bombs, apparently carrying only ordinary aerial bombs or rockets.After a while, the plane disappeared and seemed to flee.

The captain stuck his head out of the hatch and listened carefully to the movement around him.The tricky spot he had chosen limited the radar search, and now he had to make a quick decision whether to move his position.

A sound of an engine suddenly approached from far away, and he suspected that it wasn't the timid Thunderbolt overhead, because the engine sound was different.

A fighter jet suddenly appeared from the mountain pass, as fast as lightning.Its route was exactly the same as that of the Raiden fighter just now, and it seemed that it was about to crash into the muzzle of the gun again without thinking.

The shooter repeated his old trick, quickly aiming the halo at the aircraft, and waiting for the fire control calculation.He knew that the plane had to turn, level off, and then make an aiming action, so whether the opponent saw him or not, or dropped the laser-guided bomb, in principle, he would be a few seconds faster than him.

Sami doesn't need laser-guided weapons, and he also knows that anti-aircraft guns will be cheaper than most low-altitude aircraft when fighting in mountainous areas. After all, its shooting platform is stable, and there is no need to worry about hitting the mountain.But Sami is an exception, because he doesn't have much adjustments, he doesn't need to look down at the attitude indicator, and he doesn't even need to calculate the continuous impact point, which requires a long-term stable level flight state, and stable level flight is what the opponent needs most.Shooting Zhuyuan is completely in his hands, and he is sure to destroy the enemy with a few rockets on the platform flying 200 meters in one second.

The artificial horizon on the HUD is gradually flattening, and he didn't deliberately level it after turning, which would require increasing the throttle.The lower part of the aiming ring just hit the target and couldn't catch it yet, but Sammy knew that for the light rocket, the point of impact would be higher than the machine gun.

The enemy's turrets could be seen turning, and the Indian gunner was clearly prepared to shoot himself down with a fire net when he was waiting for his dive, but he would never crash into the fire net.Sammy pulled the trigger about a kilometer away.Several 57mm rockets roared towards the enemy.This kind of weapon doesn't have to be too accurate, but it can't be too biased, after all, it is an armored target.He saw that the hillside in front of him was blown up, and the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun should be finished.He quickly pulled up the plane and looked back.

"There are missiles at 7 o'clock." Someone reminded on the radio, using English with a local accent, apparently the pilot of the Thunderbolt, and he thought he was a Chinese pilot.

Sammy turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a missile spiraling up with difficulty.

"Go and attack the tank," he said, and turned to one side. He didn't want to turn too hard, and now he can't bear the turn beyond 8G; and it doesn't take a desperate effort to get rid of a Sam 7, just It takes a little skill.What surprised him was that the Indian infantry carried many times more individual missiles than before, which was quite different from the situation at the beginning of the war. A few months ago, India’s Sam 7 missiles were only deployed at the platoon level of the air defense regiment. Units are rarely encountered.Apparently the enemy is also rapidly adapting to fighting in the mountains.For Duyu Sami, it was a strange battle, sometimes like a modern war, but sometimes it seemed to stay in the past.He had already heard from Song Ning that the enemy's new squadron had brought new sneak attack tactics. As a sneak attack veteran, Sami was instinctively wary of all sneak attack tactics.This tactic is exactly the same as the time he attacked the early warning aircraft, except that they are not a single aircraft, but a formation.Compared with the Siachen Glacier, the mountains in this area are much shorter, but the opponent still avoided the detection of the AWACS throughout the whole process. It can be seen that the low-altitude flying skills of the Triple Sonic Squadron should not be underestimated.This made him think of the huge risks involved. Now the Chinese early warning aircraft are suppressed in a corridor along the border. If the Indian commander is more ambitious, he may have imagined that with the R77 missile, there is a complete chance to fly within 50 kilometers. Shoot down these planes, and there will be chaos in the sky.

The Raiden swooped down from the clouds to drop the bomb. He had a long time to aim, and the bomb landed in the middle of the enemy tank column.The rubble in the valley cut the column in two.

"Good job, Captain Hassan will be proud of you." Sami said, he had already seen the 5th Squadron's falcon mark on that plane, and now the 16th Squadron has almost changed, Hassan cited The proud F2C fighter jets seem to have [-] left.

Sami kept an eye on the position of the AWACS. At this moment, the AWACS was turning, and the nearest fighter was 120 kilometers away.He thought that if he was the commander of the Indian Air Force, he would not let go of such an opportunity. Of course, the enemy's information collection would not be so punctual and accurate, especially for fighter planes that guide long-distance attacks, unless NATO secretly helps.The enemy's S300 position east of Gilgit has finally started to be on duty. The position of this radar is very high, which greatly limits the ability of the air force to mobilize; if India has the same complete battlefield data link system as the Chinese, then this phase-scanning radar is obviously It will become a serious problem, and it can almost cover all the airspace above the Indian Army's route.Sami thinks that the Chinese have no good way to take it away, and the enemy is strangling the air superiority of the coalition forces step by step.

9 am, Quetta Airport.Lin Huaisheng unloaded the burden of the commander-in-chief and began to deploy the next plan.For him, it was more a relief than losing most of his military power.He didn't know the magnitude of the responsibility behind the power until this morning.Gunshots rang out again in Quetta City. Zhou Yaohua used the captured T30 radio station to persuade the remaining enemies there to surrender 90 minutes ago. It seems that the enemy's answer was very clear.

Lin Huaisheng drove north, trying to find the Pakistani armored force and persuade them to join his assault force.The Pakistan Army has not implemented joint command with the Chinese Army. This is different from the air force in the south. Now the command and communication of the Pakistan Army in the south have disappeared, and the army organization is fragmented. Without much thought about the Pakistani army, these heavy firepower became the object that Lin Huaisheng had to unite with.

When I walked to the end of the runway, I saw several tanks parked in a row, facing the battered Type 89 self-propelled anti-tank gun.In front of the chariot stood all the crews and other Pakistani soldiers in different costumes, who seemed to be praying and chanting according to their customs.

Lin Huaisheng motioned Lao Ding, who was driving, to stop on one side, quietly waiting for everything to end.

After a few minutes, the ceremony was over.Lin Huaisheng's liaison officer went up to inquire for a while, and finally found the other party's commander.A sergeant with a mustache walked up to Lin Huaisheng's car and looked the Chinese officer up and down.He guessed it was a high-ranking commander.

"Are you the commander of these tanks?"

Lin Huaisheng asked, and before the translation, the other party guessed that this was the person who commanded the battle in the early morning.

"Yes, my name is Yahini, an acting company commander of the [-]st Armored Division."

"It was a funeral just now?"

"Yes, according to the rules, it must be completed before noon. There is no white cloth, and there is no way to wash the corpse. Most of the dead belong to the security forces." Axi shook his head.

"Why are you here?" Lin Huaisheng asked curiously.

"There is a corpse in that chariot that can no longer be retrieved. I hope to hold a ceremony nearby to bring the old man along."

"You know him?"

"No, I don't know him, I only know that he is a soldier in the reserve force, but look ahead." He said and pointed to the piles of T90 tank wreckage in the east, "I have checked, all are The tank's 120mm gun pierced it. It's amazing."

"It was indeed him," Lin Huaisheng said. "Before your company came, he resisted here for a long time, and all four vehicles were destroyed." After Lin Huaisheng finished speaking, the Pakistani liaison officer who was waiting for the two swords slowly moved forward. translate.

"You seem to have something else?" Aki asked bluntly.

"I have a plan that requires you and your people to join, but I can't get in touch with your superiors, so I will talk to you directly."

"I am the acting company commander, and I have full authority to command this unit. My superiors have delegated command authority to each unit. Therefore, we must bind our fate with the fate of this country. Tell me about your plan."

The communication between the two went very smoothly. After 20 minutes, Axi, you agreed.Yaxi you are the kind of soldier who is full of initiative and does not completely rely on orders. He is very clear about the land of Pakistan. After Quetta, there is only 50 kilometers in depth left, and Lin Huaisheng's initiative plan is in line with his appetite.He proposed additional ammunition, including long-range laser-piercing missiles, which are very useful weapons in daylight.Lin Huaisheng readily agreed.

When Lin Huaisheng turned back, the sound of gunfire in Quetta City finally stopped, and most of the minefields around the runway and surrounding areas had also been cleared.One after another, the Il-76 transport planes began to take off and land non-stop, and heavy weapons began to rumble and gather around the airport.

"Zhou Yaohua is getting richer and richer."

Seeing a Type 96 tank passing by, Lao Ding couldn't help but say something strange.His words almost spoke to Lin Huaisheng's heart, but he still held back his words.

"I saw the last exercise, you offended him. He is still holding your grudge."

"Don't guess, our goals are the same, we must respect his way."

Lao Ding sneered and stopped talking.

"Now we are waiting for the drone's reconnaissance information. I believe that the enemy's scattered attack routes will definitely leave areas where we can intersperse."

"I have been a staff officer in the tank regiment for several years. This kind of long-distance attack from the rear is really taboo for military strategists. It is difficult for you to embroider with tanks."

"In the era of information warfare, not necessarily. It would be even better if the superiors can hit Srinagar a few times today."

"Want to attract the attention of the enemy? I think it is very difficult. They will hit the border in the last 100 kilometers. As long as the Indians can read the map, they will know that this is definitely not the time to disperse their forces."

"No, I'm not counting on relieving the pressure here. It's just that, if we look further ahead, the false semblance of India's war potential is starting to peel off, and I believe a few knocks will speed up the exposure of the vulnerable."

Lao Ding shook his head, noncommittal. He felt that this was not a question that a regiment-level officer like Lin Huaisheng should think about. What he should think about right now was that the enemy to the east was 20 times as many as himself.

"India has expanded to the limit of her history. I feel that this is precisely the moment when she is weakest. Every time we fight back, we are tightening the rope around her neck. If I guess correctly, they will not hold on." down."

"I really don't know why you are so optimistic. They still have a reserve team of 50 people in the north. There are still 10 people in West Bengal and Assam who have not been mobilized."

Lin Huaisheng smiled and said nothing, he hoped to wait for the facts to give an answer.

As Lin Huaisheng expected, the news of the destruction of the 19th regiment of the White Tiger Division knocked down Prime Minister Kahan like a bolt from the blue.

Early in the morning, Kahan, who had just woken up from a nap, came to the combat conference room full of energy.He was in a good mood. In his dream just now, he saw the tank with the white tiger mark on the turret passing neatly in front of the parade. He couldn't remember too many details. It might be the National Day commemoration, or it might be a celebration. The victory parade of the enemy's surrender, in short, after waking up, he still had something to say.It's the first day of September, and it's clearly a good sign.

After walking into the meeting room, Kahan was surprised to see that on the situation map of both sides that covered the entire wall, the arrows - 31D and 19R - disappeared, replaced by a blue circle formed by dotted lines , marked with some numbers. These days, he can almost understand it when he looks at the map. That means the enemy's heavily defended area.Ever since, he began to feel dizzy, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
