Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 359 Dilemma
"Azimuth 150, 2 enemy planes continue to approach."

The major general reminded on the radio that he was much more anxious than Sami, because the enemy plane relied on its speed and altitude. If the R77 missile was launched, it could have twice the range of Sami.In common sense, he should withdraw Sami, because the MiG 2 that came from afar will not stay for long and will return the same way, and it will be safer to pursue it again at that time, but at this moment, the JH-29 on the Shamsi runway is preparing to take off. Tactically, it is very necessary for someone to be there to resist for a while.

"Where is the Su-30 fleet, why can't I see it?" Sami asked.

"Temporarily, we have only obtained information about two batches of Su-2s taking off at Joule Butte Airport, which belong to the Eagle Squadron, and our radar has not captured it yet."

The major general responded that what he said was true.

After losing the commanding heights in the Suleiman Mountains, Pakistan's long-range radars lost their best foothold. Chalabi's special forces successfully destroyed a large number of China-Pakistan long-range radars in the central region between August and September. Now the Chinese-Pakistan coalition forces Only some abnormal means can be used to give a very primitive early warning.For example, sending agents to sit and wait at the edge of the Indian airport to collect takeoff information from the airport, and then transmit the information to the intelligence department of the armed forces through the maritime telephone. Well-trained agents can record information such as the type and sortie of the aircraft taking off; for short-range fighters According to this information, the staff of the staff can use a ruler to analyze their possible whereabouts on the map, but it has no effect on the Su-8 fighter jet with an amazing range.In fact, the major general is not sure that the Su-9 will fly there. The early warning capability of ZDK-30 can only monitor the area not too far east of the Nar River, and the Indian army's ground attack on Fort *** has been in 30 hours. The Su-03 of the Eagle Squadron is also likely to fly to the north.

"But you can't be careless. The Eagle Squadron is always elusive. They may follow the Suleiman Mountains to hide their real movements."

"Eagle Squadron?" Sammy sneered, "I hope it won't be that 302."

Song Ning, who had been listening silently, found it strange that Sammy was not worried about the MiG-29 that was close at hand, but he was thinking about an opponent thousands of miles away. He himself had fought against the Eagles several times. Apart from close combat, I didn't find anything more special about this squadron than other Indian squadrons.What Song Ning was more worried about was actually the S300 missile position tens of kilometers away.

Song Ning actually didn't know what the Colonel was thinking. That Su-30MKI did have a reason for him to worry about it.When they met for the first time, the old man's magic missile had a sudden cooling failure, which caused the enemy plane to escape from his hand by chance.The second encounter was in the chase battle on the China-Pakistan border. At that time, the Su-30 crossed the border and tried to shoot and kill Sami who had parachuted.After 2 months, the Eagle 302 at that time already possessed terrifying combat skills, and the opponent apparently recognized the colonel by intuition (the colonel did not fly the No. 101 fighter of the Black Spider at that time, but another batch of Thunder and Lightning), if the final fate will allow Sami to have an understanding with this enemy, he hopes not today, because today he needs a moment of respite.

"Snake, don't guess, let the bombers on the runway take off. This enemy is too dangerous to delay." Sammy said.He has flown in this area too many times, and he fully knows that the defense of the entire Makran coast has not been formed at all. The enemy's mechanized troops can easily capture Gwadar Port while on the march. The enemy below is only a little behind Just a few hours away.

"Colonel, the enemy's situation is unknown, I think it's better..." Song Ning just wanted to stop it, when the radar warning device started beeping, and he found that he was locked on by the MiG-29 if he was negligent.He hurriedly changed his attitude and heading, and quickly got rid of the radar within 10 seconds, but the early warning aircraft saw 2 enemy planes and fired missiles in a hurry.

"'Lionheart' formation, beware of the enemy's flooding, and pay attention to maintaining speed." The major general reminded on the radio that sometimes semi-active missiles shooting aimlessly can be fatal, because when the missile approaches, the radar warning device will not issue an alarm .

Apparently, the enemy is firing some kind of R27 missile. This kind of missile can theoretically shoot without the radar tracking the target (it needs to be kept illuminated). The semi-active seeker can sometimes find the target by itself according to the pulse reflection. There is almost no precedent for such a rough attack against a nimble fighter, but it is difficult to say that the enemy plane did not deliberately consume some heavy ammunition for the subsequent close combat.Active jamming isn't very useful for this type of attack, but passive jamming works pretty well.Song Ning immediately cast a few groups of chaff, then secretly lowered his altitude and circled around. He didn't want to run away because he didn't see the need for it.

The MiG-29 also began to release chaff at a distance of 35 kilometers, obviously wanting to disappear from the radar of the early warning aircraft, but in order to maintain the exposure, the two-aircraft formation did not make corresponding evasive actions, which allowed Sammy and Song Ning to always be able to get the information from the data link. Saw enemy planes.

The four R4s all flew out of the battlefield in a straight line, and did not threaten the two J-27s at all.Now the advantage of the enemy aircraft range has disappeared, and the relative advantage of the J-2 formation in the data link has gradually emerged. There have been Indian ships at sea to provide voice guidance for these aircraft. This has been possible since the J-10 took off from the airport. I noticed it, but judging from the clumsy route changes of the MiG-10 formation, its guidance efficiency is far inferior to that of the early warning aircraft.

The two J-2 fighter jets dropped their fuel tanks and made a counterattack posture. After all, Sami and Song Ning are veterans who have experienced many battles, and they rarely deal with them in a disorderly manner.Sammy reminded Song Ning to stay in a lurking state, and let him use the radar to scare the opponent. When he turned on for the first time, he captured the approaching target at high speed, while the enemy plane was always suffering from condescending—the radar could not distinguish Targets that appear and disappear in the Qingshan Mountains, or simply filter out low-speed targets.

Like all pilots who have not experienced a big battle, once the Indian fighter plane was locked, it immediately showed panic, and then made a series of erroneous evasive actions. These actions and large pieces of chaff made them temporarily avoid radar tracking. However, it also greatly damaged the final advantages of the aircraft-height and speed.

"I suggest you turn to the 140 course and outflank the enemy. It is best not to turn on the machine, and let me indicate the target." The colonel said.

"understood."

Song Ning immediately understood what the colonel meant. Since it was 2v2, he probably never thought of letting the enemy plane go.It's just that the enemy plane disappeared from the monitor when it arrived in front of him. How sure is he of his judgment?
"Give me a few seconds, I'm sure I'll find them."

Sammy knew that Major General Islam was hiding on the Iranian border. At such a distance, the AWACS aircraft was not enough to burn through the interference, but his distance was completely suitable. He only needed to judge the possible height of the enemy aircraft, and he could replace the AWACS radar to complete the target update. At work, what he worried most about was that the enemy Xu Huang shot, then turned 180° and escaped from the sea.

Along the mountain range, the radar caught a MiG-29 turning 15 kilometers away. Sure enough, these guys suddenly lost their confidence in close combat. Sammy regretted that he started the machine a little too early.

"Colonel, I don't see the other one."

"It must be nearby. When they retreated, they may have disbanded the formation. I guess the altitude is lower." After he finished speaking, he glanced down at the multi-energy display, and he could see that the bomber that Shamsi took off had completed the formation and sent Here it comes.

Song Ning took a shortcut and chased after him patiently. He really wanted to turn on the radar to search, but he didn't doubt the colonel's ability to judge the situation.

When the rebels on the ground saw the Chinese plane flying south, their morale immediately doubled.They didn't flock together to fight for the Indians, India has always been their number two enemy.But for the time being, they need generous Indians to pay for this insurgency aimed at driving out the Pakistani government forces.

The guerrillas all over the mountains approached Lin Huaisheng's convoy from all directions. Judging from their aimless shooting, their training level was not very good, but the enemy's familiarity with the surrounding terrain was worrying. This group of people just chased with their feet The chariot, whose vanguard is always on the mountain just tens of meters away, just can't get rid of it.Lin Huaisheng's convoy has been retreating in the valley, looking a bit chaotic, and the two vehicles that fell behind did not even have a chance to turn around.He reminded all drivers not to stop at risk through the inter-vehicle radio. Once the enemy hits the walking part or the engine, causing the tank to lose its ability to move, it will fall into the enemy's vast sea.These infantry fighting vehicles have been designed to optimize urban warfare. The 2mm artillery and parallel machine guns have a large elevation angle, but it is difficult to observe and aim inside the shaking tanks. Difficulty finding major threats and responding quickly.

Lin Huaisheng sat in the command vehicle and soon received a series of unfavorable information. The commander's observation mirror of one tank was damaged by stray bullets, and the main gun ammunition supply system of another tank appeared.

These chariots had never been so embarrassing when Jebri faced a large number of Arjun tanks, but at this moment, when facing non-professional opponents, they fell into a passive state.

The worst situation finally happened. The last chariot in the convoy was destroyed by a rocket and stopped on the road.For Lin Huaisheng, who was eager to rush to the airport to return to his life, it was a critical juncture.What should be the trade-off?Lin Huaisheng did hesitate for a moment, but immediately, he ordered the whole team to stop and fight back on the spot. At the same time, he notified the members on the damaged tank and quickly transferred to the other vehicles.

Immediately, the remaining tanks and Lin's command vehicle stopped at a distance of several tens of meters. First, they fired violently through machine guns and firing holes, and then the soldiers filed out from the rear hatch to attack with precise firepower. Shooting at the enemy occupying the top. After the soldiers left the chariot, their field of vision and shooting range were greatly improved, and their training far surpassed that of their opponents, completely suppressing the arrogant enemy's firepower for a while.But Lin Huaisheng knew that the enemy's follow-up troops were on their way, and soon, if he moved too slowly, he would be surrounded by thousands of people.He didn't know if his decision to stop to save his comrades was right. Calculating the possible losses caused by every improper command is a quality that a commander must possess, but he also knew that abandoning his comrades on the battlefield was unacceptable.

Seeing that a chariot ahead was destroyed, the follow-up rebels immediately became full of confidence. They rushed towards the smoking target with heavy weapons, for fear of missing the opportunity to die.If they had thought about it carefully, the firepower of the Chinese chariot after a stop was far more deadly than when it was retreating, they shouldn't have been so impulsive.

The large group of people who followed were eager to get close to the damaged chariot, catching a few alive, without stopping to observe the battlefield first, a large group of people surrounded them straightly, just like watching a broken down truck on the street, Fully exposed to the firepower of Chinese tanks. The 30mm main gun turned there, and there was a scene of blood and flesh flying under the tongue of fire, and it was almost impossible to leave a complete corpse.
