Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 333 The Director's Guess
J-10 fighter jet, only to find that the enemy's guidance radar was pointing at him again, and the alarm had sounded for a while.He quickly turned the nose of the plane, and with a few confident and clean movements, he got rid of the radar.

Today's operation caused India to suffer heavy losses, not only the loss of three fighters and a pilot of the 222 Squadron.What's more terrible is that it exposed the emptiness of the air defense capabilities of the entire front of Arunachal and shallow depth areas.Relatively speaking, the Chinese Air Force gained a lot on this day, which not only allowed the four pilots to grow up quickly, but also tempered the responsiveness of the ground staff.After this encounter, the Chinese Air Force added another weight to the balance that had already been tilted towards itself.

At this moment, Chang Yong's formation had just stopped at the designated landing place. He took off his safety belt, pushed open the glass canopy and jumped out of the plane.He hurriedly checked the wounded soldier on the short wing, but the soldier was frozen stiff.Chang Yong had a bad feeling that this soldier might die.He put down the stiff soldier, wanting to hear if he still had a heartbeat.

On the shadow helicopter in the distance, two medical soldiers in white clothes ran over with a stretcher on their shoulders, pulled away the captain Chang Yong who was messing around, put Baima on the stretcher, and quickly carried away.

Chang Yong looked at the Black Hawk helicopter from a long distance, and launched emergency rescue measures.But after 1 minute, the rescue measures came to an end.He saw a medic covering the soldier from head to toe with a white cloth.Then he heard the wailing of the rest of the wounded scouts, which also touched all members of the attack helicopter formation. In today's battle, they also lost two comrades in arms, and the bodies were still left there. .

The snowy mountain started to snow again, and the Black Hawk helicopter that transported the wounded and corpses of the Snow Wolf slowly took off and flew northward, while the three armed helicopters had to stay where they were.The headquarters told them that the transport helicopter that delivered the fuel might not arrive in time, so they were prepared to spend the night in the snow-capped mountains.

Chang Yong led the rest of the staff to keep clearing the snow on the landing gear, so as not to freeze in the snow after nightfall and be unable to take off at that time.They now have no fuel and cannot get out of here.This sudden mission did expose some problems, including the lack of a backup plan, the command post's insufficient response capacity, and so on.

Seeing the sky gradually dimming, Chang Yong thought that there would be no helicopters coming today.In the distance, another Black Hawk approached suddenly from the east, flying a little lightly, not like a plane delivering fuel.

Chang Yong immediately realized that it must be related to the suitcase. After he landed, he left the suitcase there without looking at it.He thought that this box should be extremely important, otherwise the higher up would not come to pick it up at dusk.A new order came from the radio, prepare the landing site, and then hand over the items to a major general.

He took out a few thermite burning sticks, ignited them and threw them into the flat snow field in the distance. The Black Hawk hovered for a while, and then slowly landed.The black eagle's rotors never stopped, which showed that the opponent did not intend to stay for long.

An officer with the rank of major general jumped out of the plane. He was wearing a spring and autumn uniform, and he had obviously rushed over from the military headquarters in the interior.

"Comrades, I brought tents and food. You may have to freeze in the snow overnight." Xu Jingzhe walked over through the snow.

Chang Yong held the box in his arms and walked up to the major general.

"Can you tell me what's in it?" He couldn't help asking.

"Actually, I don't know, really." Xu Jingzhe took off his sunglasses and said.He took the box and handed it to another colonel behind him.

"How about the snow wolves? Command, they haven't received any communication from them all afternoon."

"When I left, they were running around in the woods, less than 300 meters away from the enemy's vanguard." Chang Yong reported the truth.

"300 meters? That should be fine." The major general seemed relieved. "By the way, did your flight on the Yarlung Zangbo River go well?"

"It's wider than the Nu River, and there is no dangerous slip-and-lock bridge on the mountain. If there are no enemy anti-aircraft weapons, flying should not be a problem. You can also bring more weapons."

"Very well, this mission at least shows that the plan is feasible."

"The enemy will strengthen the coastal defenses."

"Then it can only be handed over to the Air Force. Remember, the offensive is about to begin, and you will be very useful."

After the major general finished speaking, he turned around and left.After the Black Hawk unloaded the tent and fuel heater, it took off before it was dark, and left the six pilots and their helicopters on the hillside.

To the south of the snow-capped mountain, Charmain has already rushed from Tespur to the area where the Chinese helicopter was shot down. The director led his people to conduct a carpet survey in the area scattered with wreckage.An hour ago, he finally met with Lausanne, and then the two had a feeling of seeing each other late. Lausanne was the most vigilant officer that Charmain had seen in the whole of Assam. He was not like the others, Pin your defense entirely on the fact that the enemy will not attack.

For several months, Chamain has been paying attention to the Chinese helicopter force's training along the river near Myanmar, but he has never been able to figure out the doorway. Today, these helicopters suddenly appeared in front of him across the Hengduan Mountains, which really scared him. Jump, after all, he is a keen intelligence officer, and he immediately thought of the various connections between the Nu River and the Yarlung Zangbo River.This shows that the training of the Chinese is definitely targeted, and their focus should be on southern Tibet.

He was almost overwhelmed by his own conclusions. Obviously, this approach is feasible. Their breakthrough today was very successful. If the sky missiles hadn't saved some face at the last moment, India would have fallen into a one-sided failure.

Traditional army officers like Chaguye have always believed that high-altitude and mountainous areas are not suitable for heavy armed helicopter operations, so India only equips light aircraft in this area.But the Chinese Army doesn't seem to believe in this evil, and that's what they do today.If heavy armed helicopters can cross the Hengduan Mountains and then fly along rivers, then there will be no problem with transport helicopters, which is what Chamain is worried about.

Charmain, who was worried, sat on the wet stones by the river, waiting for the progress of the search team. It was lucky that the plane did not fall into the river; the Mi-17 of the special service team fell into the river in the morning, making a The whereabouts of all the secret key filling machines were unknown, which made Charmain worry about it all the time.

"Captain, I found something." The search team shouted in the distance.

"What is it?"

"It seems to be... a map."

"That's great, Captain, go and have a look." Charmain said.

Lausanne immediately supported Charmain on the rocky river beach, and they walked to the side of the scattered wreckage.A soldier hands over a half-burned map bag.

Charmain's shoulder bag is not an item that must be carried before taking off. Today's navigation can be completed on the multi-function display, and the map is somewhat redundant; but out of psychological sustenance, sometimes the navigator will still bring a paper map.In any case, it must have considerable intelligence value.

He pulled out the map from it and unfolded it.The soldiers next to him gathered together, holding lamps to illuminate them.

After a closer look, the director couldn't help being surprised. This is a specially printed combat map, including the complete Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, with a ratio of 2.5 to 1.The map does not include the western part of southern Tibet. Its focus is obviously on the Sion area and the Rohit border area close to Zayu; this cannot be specially printed to save a small detachment. Premeditation is right.

"Captain, can you understand these Chinese characters? Is there any printing time?" the intelligence chief asked Lausanne.

"The writing was printed by the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of the General Staff, and there is no time."

"Everything seems very strange."

He followed the route down the river on the map, and the pilot marked it with a red pen in the battle zone, which was obviously the agreed meeting place with the ground personnel.South of this site, there also appear to be light pencil marks.He squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time. The end of the scratch was at the turn of the Yarlung Zangbo River in the Sion area. Perhaps when they worked on a map not long ago, their preset target was farther away than the position they arrived at today. .

"The Ministry of Defense must be alerted immediately. What the enemy is planning."

As soon as the director had finished speaking, there was thunder in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

"Director, it's better for me to send people here to continue the search, why don't you go back to Tespur? The rainy season here is terrible." Luosang said.

"No! I'm not going anywhere. I must stay here."

The search continued. Charmain had been standing in the icy rain, waiting for further results. He hoped to find something more important. At the same time, he also hoped that the biting rain would last longer. Once the rainy season ended, southern Tibet would be Unforeseen circumstances may occur.

The intelligence value of this armed helicopter itself is not high, and its model has been completely determined. From the perspective of the pylon, its load situation is still not optimistic, but the combat thinking behind it is what Charmain wants to know of.He watched the sluggish soldiers dawdling in the rain, and then thought of the ineffective officers at the headquarters, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Captain, if you were the enemy, would you land behind us in an unexpected way?"

"Me, of course I will. The CCP army has always liked surprise attacks, and they are good at using conspiracy when fighting anyone. In the past, they were only restricted by technology, but now, the technical restrictions have been reduced." Luosang shrugged and said.

"Is it feasible to deploy guards along the entire river?"

"There are not enough troops here now. Tezpur is an empty shell, and Lieutenant General Chaguye's defense focus is on Siguri, not here." Lausanne said.

"What advice do you have?"

"If you can figure out their plans, you can be more proactive in your defense."

He kicked the ball back to the intelligence chief.
