Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 317 Finding the Target
same moment.The newly built independent air defense force in Spanga, India, is blocking the road leading to the railway bridge and cannot move.The reason is that the 2th Engineering Brigade under the Second Army passing by here refused to give up the priority to use the road.When the north wind blows, the two sides in dispute can hear the fierce gunfire more than ten kilometers away at the same time, which is enough to make the two troops panic.The commander of the engineering unit was convinced that the group of bastards in front of him deliberately occupied the road, so he was going to push himself into the fire pit.And he believed that he must not give way to a troop fleeing eastward.Jebri's military police received the order and immediately drove to the scene of the incident to clear the road and escorted the anti-aircraft missile unit across the river. At the same time, the military police received a large number of enemy agents to infiltrate the vicinity The news caused the gendarmerie company to dispatch troops to set up checkpoints on various highways to check suspicious people and units.

A Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle was driving along the road alone. The ruthless Lieutenant Ghiam stood on the command tower, feeling a little guilty.There are no BMP-86 tanks similar to Type 1 in this area, and the number of the 107th Armored Regiment indicated by the tactical marks painted on the tanks also has a big loophole. In fact, this regiment is 150 kilometers away, and we know this Those who know the details of the regiment must also know that the 107th regiment is actually equipped with BMP-2 tanks.In addition, there are some minor loopholes. For example, compared with India's BMP-1, this Type 86 tank lacks an infrared searchlight.However, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. Ghiyam knew that this task was imperative, so he simply bit the bullet and turned on the headlights, and drove directly into the Indian convoy.

Along the way, Ghiam stuck his head out of the car and looked around, hoping to find the target quickly.Gradually, Indian military vehicles gathered around the road, all of which were shrinking towards Jebri.Most of the Indian troops were in a panic and just ran away. No one took a second look at this strange chariot.Whenever the artillery fires from the north, the attention of Indian soldiers will be attracted, and then several vehicles will collide, causing a burst of congestion on the road. .

However, there was a rather calm army on the road, which caught Gyam's attention.This unit wore special camouflage uniforms for mountain troops, carried Galil automatic rifles and night vision equipment, and they sat in jeeps without any tactical markings; look.Ghiam estimated that these guys should be Chalabi's special forces. This is the unit he has long wanted to get rid of and is also the most feared. His intelligence task force used to belong to the Chalabi unit In several fights, they didn't take advantage.

The procession on the highway slowed down, and Ghiam raised his low-light night vision goggles to observe.He is condescending, and with the bright moonlight, he can see quite far.One kilometer ahead, some military police set up roadblocks, which in turn caused the convoy to come to a standstill.It seems that the Indian military police are checking the retreating units one by one, and they have obviously noticed something.

Ghiam told the driver to drive off the road quietly and head towards the woods on the side. He had fought in this area not long ago, so he knew every trail nearby.

The rumbling turn of the chariot on the road caught the attention of an Indian special forces officer. He stared at the white python logo representing the 86th regiment on the 107-type chariot for a long time, and there seemed to be something wrong. And he found that the officer in the car had a handheld night vision device.Why is there a single chariot on the road, and is driving in the opposite direction from the battlefield?

Giyam intuitively sensed that someone was watching him from the dark, so he got into the chariot and closed the hatch.The chariot slowly drove down the road, and quickly disappeared among the dilapidated villages. After a while, the huge sound was also hidden in the darkness.He has been keeping an eye on the rear, and the Indian soldiers did not follow him, but he cannot rule out the possibility that he has revealed himself. If that is the case, they should report to their superiors through the radio.But it was useless to think too much, he began to think back to the enemy communication he intercepted just now, and the analysis of the dialogue in just a few words, it was worth visiting there.

After bypassing the checkpoint of the Indian military police, the chariot ran all the way in the field. A few weeks ago, Giyam and his men were in this area, dealing with an Indian army advancing westward from Karachi, so he was familiar with Geography here.He knew that several roads would converge in Jebri City, and any commanding height in the south of the city could observe all these roads at the same time.

Once the unit is found, Ghiam has several options. The easiest one is to call the "T90 troops" in the rear to destroy it directly, or in urgent cases, call the Chinese Air Force to take the railway bridge and All the surrounding roads were blown up. Of course, the latter option must depend on the situation.Because what the Air Force is most afraid of is this air defense missile battalion. Once it is deployed in the plains east of Gilgit, its power must not be underestimated.

The infantry fighting vehicle finally drove up a high slope, which, if Ghiam remembered correctly, overlooked several roads west of the railway bridge.

Sure enough, several roads were crowded with all kinds of military vehicles. Lin Huaisheng's sudden appearance brought a big disaster to this Indian Army's transportation hub.

Jebri is a major bridgehead in Spanga's entire assault plan. It is responsible for the mission of supplying supplies in all directions, not only leading to Quetta, but also leading to the southern Mokran Coastal Mountains. The southern part of Pakistan is second only to Quetta's sergeant base - Shemuxi Base, just behind this geographical barrier, is currently also the site of a feint attack by the Indian Army and is in a stalemate.

Gyam slowly searched the road with the low-light night vision device. The road from Jebri to the railway bridge was full of ordinary trucks. These trucks were driving slowly, and no special equipment was seen.The anti-aircraft position near the railway bridge fired from time to time, firing strings of brilliant tracer bullets.It seems that the Chinese drones took advantage of the opportunity to enter again, and the target should also be the nearby air defense missile force. Obviously they did not put all their bets on Lin Huaisheng.There were also quite a few vehicles on the road heading south, and it was completely at a standstill.He adjusted the magnification, looked carefully, and saw a string of strange-looking construction vehicles, among which were interspersed with extra-wide bridge-building vehicles.He knew that this road was not very wide, and if a special vehicle with the same ultra-wide width came in the opposite direction, it would be blocked.

It seems to be very consistent with the intercepted Indian communication, but the low-light night vision equipment has a limited range, and he has to get closer.Time did not allow Giyam to hesitate too much, so he went all out and ordered the chariot to drive down the hillside and drive directly to the road.

"If it's an emergency, you know what to do. I mean plan for the worst," Ghiam said to the gunners nearby.

"I know, destroy the guidance radar vehicle and the command vehicle first."

"Well, that phased array radar is the core of the entire force, and it's vulnerable."

Ghiam said.The firepower of this 86-type tank is mediocre, but at least it has a not-small-caliber artillery. If it really gets to that point, he plans to fight to the death.

From a distance, he saw a series of huge silhouettes on the road, mixed among ordinary military vehicles. He recognized several missile launch vehicles, but he was not sure what type they were. Many anti-aircraft missiles in India also use The wheeled chassis serves as the launch vehicle.At the rear of the convoy, he finally saw the radar antenna carried on the large wheeled chassis vehicle. This huge antenna was installed on a retractable mechanical device and folded upside down on the top of the vehicle.Apparently this was a phased-array radar that Giam had never seen before, with a complex telescoping mechanism to adjust the height of the radar, which seemed to be especially suitable for mountain operations.There are also auxiliary vehicles that appear to be wheeled rather than tracked, unlike the S300V missiles that Ghiyam knows India already has.This is likely to be a new type of anti-aircraft weapon that appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

Seeing that his judgment was being verified step by step, Giyam couldn't help but get carried away. He told the driver to speed up and approach the radar vehicle, and then forgot to observe the enemy's situation around him at all times.

Giyam confirmed that this complete anti-aircraft missile battalion is on the road, unable to maneuver or fire. He can be sure that this is an S300 unit. Although the launch vehicle did not see the unique irradiation radar of the V type, it can be determined that this It is a more advanced and more dangerous new model.In short, Spanga dared to take this missile battalion as the main bet, and there must be something special about it.

Giyam was about to notify Dinkakuang and his tank troops in the rear of the target's location through the radio.Unexpectedly, two jeeps suddenly rushed out of the road and crossed in front of his chariot.

"Stop immediately. Get inspected."

The military police in the car shouted at the suspicious tank with a loudspeaker.A few minutes ago, the gendarmerie company had just received an order from its superiors to intercept a chariot pretending to be the 107th Armored Regiment and a lieutenant colonel officer on it.Then a miraculous scene happened. A chariot very similar to the one described in the order suddenly appeared in the field of vision. When it was within a short distance, the gendarmes saw the logo of the 107th regiment on its turret.Out of a moment of caution, the Indian military police did not directly fire on the exposed lieutenant colonel, but attempted to stop it for further investigation.

"Stop first, but don't turn off the engine."

Ghiam whispered to the driver, realizing that he had been spotted and that any attempt to get away with it was unrealistic.He peeked out and saw that many soldiers jumped from several nearby jeeps, and some soldiers carrying rocket launchers were surrounding him.

He waited until the jeep came in front of him, and nodded condescendingly to the Indian gendarme with a smile. The gendarme put his hand on the holster and stared at Giyam, but he still respected the suspicious lieutenant colonel first. I gave a gift.

"Mr. Officer, turn off the engine of the chariot immediately, and then get out of the vehicle for inspection. The movement of getting down should be slow, and then raise your hands above your head."

"Listen Corporal, I'm on urgent business and I don't have time to mess around with you," Ghiam said.

"Get out of the car immediately, or we will open fire." The military police shouted.

Giam stomped his feet hard, sending a signal to those below.

"Corporal, tell me who your superior is? I must send you to a military court." He said slightly mockingly.

"Sir, this is my last warning. You have 5 seconds to turn off this chariot immediately."

The Indian military police said categorically, and slowly pulled the pistol out of the holster.He has already determined that the lieutenant colonel in front of him is [-]% problematic.However, the other soldiers were not as vigilant as he was, and the new order hadn't reached the soldiers in time, so most people still thought it was just a misunderstanding, and there were enough misunderstandings tonight.They didn't have night vision equipment, and they couldn't notice that the four black barrels were quietly protruding from the shooting holes on the side of the tank.

Giyam pretended to climb out of the chariot helplessly, and pulled out a pistol in an instant. He was condescending and took the lead, and fired 2 shots before the Indian corporal, and the military policeman fell out of the car.At the same time, the firing holes on the side of the chariot also started to fire. These shooting holes did not have night vision equipment, so they could only shoot indiscriminately in a general direction.The Indian soldiers counterattacked surprisingly quickly from the chaos, after all, they were prepared.Giam drew the flare gun from his waist while hiding in the tank, and before he closed the hatch, fired a red flare into the sky.This is the contact method he agreed with Ding Keguang to indicate the location of the target in an emergency.
