Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 336 The Muddy Front

The members of the special brigade who were observing from the side nodded involuntarily: "Yes, I will blow up his son."

"Stop talking nonsense, cross the Zayu River within 2 minutes." The captain on the side gave an order.

Since the enemy's mountain is in an excellent position and can monitor the entire river turning area, it can only be destroyed by hard methods, and the laser-guided mortar with dispersion performance and terminal modification is selected.Recently, on this line of control, various firefights have continued. Such restrained small-scale strikes are aimed at not alerting the enemy.

Following the captain's order to cross the river, more than a dozen people emerged from the bushes.They quickly ran out of the jungle and jumped into the icy cold river, which was the end of the official rainy season this month, and the river was waist-high and fast-moving, but the soldiers helped each other to cross the river without any danger.

According to the pre-setting, the camp behind India may reoccupy the top of the mountain within 3 minutes and resume observation.Therefore, the crossing time must be strictly controlled.However, the actual situation is somewhat different. After the mortar shells took away the stronghold, the Indian soldiers in the back mountain scattered and fled.Not long ago, India's relatively elite 5th Mountain Division was stationed here. After the division's defense area shrank, it pushed the 56th Division of the motley brand to the front.The recruiting area of ​​the 56th Infantry Division is in West Bengal, which has always had a separatist tendency and has never had a tradition of working for New Delhi. Therefore, the Indian platoon leader immediately went down the mountain and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.One kilometer behind is the relatively strict defense zone of the main force, so there is no need to die too early.

In fact, the Indian artillery near Warong has been waiting in full battle. After receiving the order from the superior, they immediately fired back. Unfortunately, there is no guidance from the artillery observation post, so they can only cover the areas that have already been marked and suspected of being assembled by Chinese troops. This time The shelling that lasted for several minutes had nothing to gain except exposing its own position.

A drone flew slowly over the sky to detect the movement on the ground, and he accurately found the position of the artillery company, which was busy packing up and transferring cups.Since the Indian air defense system does not dare to turn it on, the Chinese UAV can control the altitude and speed with certainty, so as to exert the best performance of the optical equipment.Through the common data link, the aircraft continuously provides new information to the headquarters for comparison.

The headquarters can see through the images transmitted in real time that the squad is appearing and disappearing in the woods, and the nearest enemy is also 1.5 kilometers away.Immediately, the command post passed the surrounding enemy information to this sneaking force through the communication relay equipment of the drone.Now the enemy's rear is in chaos, a light howitzer battery is busy fleeing, another infantry has just got off the truck in the southwest, trying to restore the original observation post, now in the unvegetated area before Mnirkele to the Rhodo River , there is a passage that can be passed quickly.

However, Zhao Changbin, the captain of the Mountain Eagle below, believes that the reconnaissance of drones may not be completely reliable. This vast virgin forest is not under the continuous surveillance of drones for 24 hours, and drones cannot clearly observe the mountains. every corner of theHe is currently barking at the snow wolf far away on the other side of the Yarlung Zangbo River, so he can't act hastily.He decided that following the original plan, it would be safer to climb over the mountains and enter the hinterland of the Lossett border area to search for potential threats to the enemy; the main threat defined by the command post refers to the anti-aircraft firepower lurking in the area, followed by artillery positions, Indians are becoming more and more adept at using vegetation and various camouflage to hide these targets, which makes it difficult for drones to spot these immobile targets. .

At noon, the reconnaissance troops climbed up the tree-covered ridge. The no-man's land was extremely quiet, and the sound of car engines could be heard from a distance.The command post reminded them by voice that it was the artillery who had just escaped from the original position and was under surveillance the whole time, so don't do anything.

Zhao Changbin got into the bushes beside the road and signaled the troops to stop. In a blink of an eye, the whole army disappeared into the continuous rhododendron bushes.After a while, a convoy of towed artillery passed by at a wild speed.The Indian soldiers should have known that this area has completely lost air supremacy. They crossed the curve on the muddy winding road without slowing down very much. The bouncing vehicles threw up the artillery behind them.Mud and water splashed on the Scout.Zhao Changbin cursed secretly in his heart: The guy who doesn't know how to live or die, I hope he will fall into a mountain ditch by himself.

Then came the command vehicle of the Indian artillery company, also in a panic.An officer in the jeep looked nervously at the sky. Of course, he could not see the drone flying silently 4000 meters above his head, and the Chinese drone had no intention of shooting at his convoy.

After the whole convoy passed by, Zhao Changbin slowly stood up like a tree growing out of nowhere.He clenched his fist with one hand and signaled the people behind him not to move yet.Then he crossed the so-called combat readiness road full of mud and water alone.This road has just been trampled badly by the Indian artillery convoy speeding past, and it is simply a piece of mud.

Zhao Changbin noticed that the tire tracks of the convoy seemed to cover up the tracks of other vehicles in the mud.He whistled and signaled the whole group to cross the road quickly, but he still crouched in the middle of the road and looked carefully.There used to be many vehicles with completely different wheelbases passing by within 10 hours.One part is the dimpled wheel marks left by the 6-wheel-drive Daimler Benz heavy truck; the narrower mark is left by the rubber tires of the 122mm D30 howitzer; the other part is shallower and left by the Land Rover off-road vehicle The above vehicles have all been seen just now.

Under the cover of these traffic marks, there seem to be some traces of submersion.It is wider than the axle of the truck, about 3.5 meters, and left vague track shoe embossing.He is not sure that this is the site of the T55 tank, but according to intelligence, India does not have an armored force in this area.The vehicle with a tank chassis is likely to be a newly modified sky missile, or even the legendary beech air-to-air missile that was secretly introduced.

The captain looked into the sky, knowing that the silent drone was overhead:

"Gao Shan, this is Shan Ying, I need to know, when did you start monitoring this road today?"

After a while, the command responded.

"Shanying, 4 hours ago. I didn't notice any abnormal movements on the part of the road leading to Walong."

"Is it possible to monitor all the nearby roads around the clock?"

"It can't be done temporarily, the drone can only monitor for 10 hours."

Apparently, a group of important targets passed southward during the hours when the drones were unable to monitor them.Judging from the known routes, these vehicles may have been deployed to the vicinity of Warong, or they may have entered the mountainous area adjacent to Assam and Myanmar.He estimated that the enemy should have a way to counter the drones. Their convoys always move at night and never turn on, so that the tracks are not easy to find.

In the command post thousands of miles away, Xu Jingzhe, who was in charge of the command, also used photos to study every area that might hide a large army.He is now under tremendous pressure. On the one hand, Lin Huaisheng has not been found on the battlefield in Pakistan. Lin's partner Ding Keguang reported that Lin Huaisheng had an encounter with a special force that was chasing him during a reconnaissance the day before. After a fierce battle, they were separated from the main force.On the other hand, the enemy's anti-aircraft missile unit lurking in the Rohit area is just under the nose, but they can't find it, which is also a serious problem for Xu Jingzhe.He was not particularly worried about Lin Huaisheng, because he was convinced that Lin would not die easily.But the situation here is extremely critical. Not long ago, it was his guarantee that allowed the enemy air defense force that should have been destroyed to survive.

He originally thought that the enemy would communicate every once in a while, so with the monitoring equipment in his hand, he could quickly find this unit and guide the Mountain Eagle unit.However, 20 hours have passed, and the enemy has not contacted Tespur again. It is obvious that they have reached a hidden position and entered a silent lurking state. This is a deadly threat.For a large transport aircraft, after crossing the Hengduan Mountains, it will inevitably fall into the envelope of the missile.

"Can the mountain eagle do it?" The major general was beating his heart.

Due to technical limitations, the Chinese military is still unable to complete 24-hour seamless battlefield surveillance through a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and reconnaissance satellites like the US military. The enemy has more or less observed this problem, and the transportation of their key equipment usually takes Choose at night, or when the drone is returning home.

On the screen, Shanying has been divided into 2 teams, heading to different areas. One team searched in depth to the west of Wanong according to the established Luxiena, and the other team, led by captain Zhao Changbin, headed south.There is the India-Myanmar border area, and it has also been a blank spot for reconnaissance. The mountains in that area are flat, the population is large, the ethnic composition is complex, and the local armed forces are tyrannical, which is more unpredictable than the regular Indian army.

"Tell Shanying, be careful when entering the south of Tangdian, and don't act recklessly."

New Delhi.Prime Minister Kahan has never seen Chaman's report. The doctor is worried that such a negative report may stimulate the Prime Minister again. Seeing that the Prime Minister's condition is getting better day by day, he can't take the risk.At this time, Singer just arrived and simply intercepted Charmain's report from the secretary.He had in his hand a similar report, sent to him by Charmain, except that he had left out the alarmist part and the part which finally brought Pasade back to life.At this moment, he is equally anxious and needs to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss the situation in order to coordinate the interests of all parties and continue blood transfusion to the stalemate front.

When he walked into the prime minister's office, Kahan was reading Nehru's memoirs and looked fine.Singh knew that the prime minister liked to read the biographies of these predecessors when he was proud, and what he read over and over again were the parts of these people's arguments about India's inevitable rise.In fact, the Prime Minister has combined his own destiny with these prophecies, and he is always thinking about how to accomplish these arduous missions and make India stand tall in the world in the next 1000 years.Thinking of all this, Singer couldn't help but feel a little sore.The war has dragged on for a long time, and he has failed the Prime Minister's expectations, and the situation in Spanga is getting more and more difficult. The enemy insists on holding on through an air transportation line, and Pakistan is like a dying and unyielding patient. , has been living until now.Today, the 21st Army has reached the end of its rope.With the extension of the front line and the destruction of the enemy army, Spanga can now mobilize less than 3 troops on the front line. He needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the transportation line, which is extremely troublesome, while the enemy is constantly Accumulate troops and equipment.

Singer adjusted his clothes and strode over: "Prime Minister, I have brought good news. General Spanga has surrounded the main force of the enemy's disruptive force and will soon destroy it."

"Is it true?" the Prime Minister hesitated. In fact, because of Singer's concealment, he had never known that an enemy force had actually hit the upper Nar River and turned Spanga's rear upside down.

"They can't turn the tables this time. Captain Chalabi's special forces have already targeted them. We will take advantage of the situation to wipe out the entire coastal area, so that we may be able to find a route to transport supplies by sea."

Singh's words made the prime minister feel like a cloud. Not long ago, he told the prime minister that he could win within a few days. Why is it necessary to open up a sea transportation line now?It is really puzzling.
