Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 32 Day 2

Lieutenant Matanga attempted to escape by diving, but acceleration was not the aircraft's forte.Within tens of seconds, the missile followed under the guidance of the active radar. The captain released electronic interference and cooperated with several groups of chaff, and then barely avoided the first missile with an evasion exceeding 9.5G. The huge overload knocked it down. Pressed on the seat and almost passed out, the captain was awakened from the short-term faint by the sound of the explosion of the second missile. He looked back and saw that the right wing with the tiger painting had been lifted off, so he quickly pulled Lower the probing handle to throw off the cockpit and eject it from the cabin.

"Well done, Major," Sammy said.But Song Ning ignored him.

"I have a suggestion, we can leave no one alive," Sami said, as if hinting at some way to kill the Indian pilot who was hanging in mid-air.

"No, you can't do this. I suggest you let the ground troops take the prisoners of war, and everything after the war will naturally be explained."

"Okay, I'll hand him over to the Army Patrol." As he spoke, Sami switched the channel to the ground tower, and took some time to tell the approximate coordinates of the pilot's landing. There are still hundreds of kilometers away from the border. The possibility of the Indian pilots escaping back is close to zero.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two planes flew towards Peshawar.For a long time, the radio station remained silent, because Song Ning was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk.Although today he got the first real record of his pilot career, and this is probably the first record of the Chinese Air Force pilot in more than 30 years, but Song Ning felt that this record is not glorious, and this battle could have been avoided. It was just because of Sami's belligerence that he forcibly broke into the battlefield, and he was implicated in it, while Song Ning hated being coerced by others the most in his life.

"I'm glad you didn't hesitate in the end." On the radio, Colonel Sammy attempted to break the deadlock.

"You fuck your mother." Song Ning answered wearily with a sentence in Chinese. He was sure that Sammy would not understand this sentence.

Sure enough, the colonel was stunned for a while, he probably thought it was a greeting.

"You're welcome, we'll always be brothers."

The first day of all-out war ended in confusion and consternation, with the Indian Air Force ostensibly gaining an overwhelming advantage, and Pakistani air command falling apart in the all-out assault; the only blemish of the day was the take-off from Gwalior in the afternoon One of the Phantom formations did not return to base.The phantom team was not under the guidance of the ground radar when it disappeared, and the call records were very limited. This is all because they were attacked too deep; The attack on Husab's heavy water plant was the most important thing in the attack on this day. Many raids on the northern region were used to pave the way for this sneak attack, but many people in the staff did not see the value of attacking this deep target.

In the early morning, Air Force Chief of Staff General Biafrata left the conference room and took off from Gwalior to New Delhi. He had to attend an impromptu meeting of the Ministry of Defense.Along the way, he was a little furious, because the attack on Husab was not in the attack plan; the target was too far-reaching, and the staff under his leadership always believed that it was of little value, but it was Minister of Defense Sim A week ago, Ge forcefully asked for a "political task". Now this task has cost him a heavy price, and he feels that he cannot bear this responsibility.

Biafrata hurried to the Ministry of Defense and followed a secretary into an office. He saw Singer wearing a shirt standing beside a huge map and gesticulating. Drawing pictures, planting small flags of various colors, everything is very serious, it seems that they have come here this night.Biafrata finds this scene ridiculous. It seems that Singh's statement that he can't figure out the authority of the Ministry of Defense and the army is quite valid. Obviously, he is formulating an offensive plan for the army to replace the army staff headed by Pasad. the plan of.

"Ah, general, you are here." Singer walked over with great vigor.

"I don't have much time, Mr. Minister, and I will be in Gwalior to command the new round of operations of the 40th Wing soon."

"I came here for a new attack. I know that yesterday's attack on Husab failed, so we have to change our strategy. I want the 40th to make another attack."

"With all due respect, Your Excellency, I don't think this target is so valuable. It is necessary to carry out a second attack. Husab is 950 kilometers away from Gwalior. It is difficult for the Mirage 1H of the 7st or 2000th Squadron to cross such a long distance. distance, and attack a heavily fortified area."

"No, no, things are more complicated than you imagined. Yesterday's failure was due to some special reasons."

"special reason?"

"Yes, you come with me. I will introduce some friends to you. In fact, they are friends of Chief Charmain, but they are eager to meet you now."

"Meet me?"

As Singer said, he walked out of the house and led the skeptical Air Force Chief of Staff upstairs and into a luxurious conference room.

There were already three foreigners waiting in the conference room. When they saw Singh and Biafrata enter, they all stood up. These people were wearing dark suits and ties. They looked neither like diplomats nor They were purely technical personnel, and Bifrata felt that they were more like soldiers, so he immediately guessed that these three people were Israelis.

"This is our Israeli friend, Major General Imos. He has been waiting here for 15 minutes," Singh said.

The unsmiling Amos immediately came over and shook hands with Biafrata. The chief of staff of the air force guessed the second thing in a trance, that the attack on Husab was related to these people.

Singer did not continue to introduce the latter two people, he directly began to talk about his views: "Yesterday, Major General Amos and his people were at the Southwest Air Force Command in Zaipur."

"Why didn't I know about this?" Biafrata asked in a nonchalant manner, with an accusatory tone.

"The intelligence agency has the right to deploy their personnel where necessary, not to mention the emergency, Charmain only reported to me."

"Mr. Minister, when did you take over the Ministry of the Interior?" Biafrata asked. His taunt did not anger Singh, who waved his hand and continued to speak.

"When the tiger formation disappeared, Major General Amos obtained some information with their latest equipment. Do you want to know?"

"The tiger formation has been flying at low altitude, and the ground radar cannot track it all the way. So there is not much valuable information left." The chief of staff said.

"That's right, Mr. Chief of Staff. The radar has not tracked their entire location." Amos interrupted suddenly.

"But we recorded the radio communications of the fighter jets that were near the battlefield at that time, including Tiger's and the enemy's..." Amos said slowly, and then turned to wink at a follower behind him. He picked up a small box, put it on the table, and opened it. Biafrata was very knowledgeable. He glanced at it and knew that it was an electronic device for decoding. He kept calm and waited for the famous Israeli The Major General himself continued.

"We recorded some pilots' radio conversations. Of course, these communications were encrypted in their own way, but the encryption was done sloppily. It took us 20 minutes to restore them." After the major general finished speaking, his subordinates pressed up button.The recording starts playing.

"Major, do you know why the Air Force Staff didn't introduce your medium-range missiles?" Sammy's voice appeared in the recording.

"How do I know, I don't participate in foreign trade negotiations." Then came Song Ning's answer.

"Huh, because this missile has Israeli technology, and part of our funding depends on Saudi Arabia."

……

"What are you waiting for, don't hurry up and kill the wingman."

"No, I can't do that, it's a serious breach of discipline."

Soon, the edited recording was played, and Biafrata stood there blankly.
