Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 378
As early as April when the war decision was made, Singh had assured the prime minister that the war would stop by at most August, which is now October.The consumption of the war has long been unable to be calculated in detail. The money spent was more than three times the budget at that time, and the number of casualties exceeded 8 for the army alone.The good thing, he thought, was that victory was at hand.The Chinese outrage that Chandra had been waiting in horror for did not come on October 3st.This morning, the Prime Minister was the first to be furious. He made a decision that shocked the world and completely cut off China's transportation lines in the Indian Ocean. Singh was at the meeting at the time. He couldn't say how excited he was, but he shuddered.He is very clear that cutting off the line of communication is the last card like nuclear weapons. In fact, deterrence lies in words, not in real recklessness.When the hole card is lifted, there is no way out, not only China, but also India.

Ten hours passed, and the Chinese begging peace that the Prime Minister optimistically predicted did not appear.Even the United States offered to mediate, which was rejected by China.Singer had a premonition that they would have some extraordinary actions. What would it be?

It took him a lot of effort to guess. He felt that in this game, the opponent seemed to have not exerted his full strength, and India had already knocked out all the cards that could be played, and even hid behind the scenes. The person who planned most of the things turned out to be As a lieutenant colonel, knowing the truth really shocked him.

"Damn it, why hasn't Charmain's inner line been moving recently?" Singer said to himself, "They will at least take revenge, yes, they will seek political balance. But where will it be?" He stood A few steps before the huge map, important strategic targets have been marked in red, use the air force to attack New Delhi?Or sneak attack on the aircraft carrier in the lower reaches of the Hoogliese River?The former is possible, but the latter is completely beyond the combat radius of the air force, unless they directly pass through the airspace of Nepal.

"It seems that all the newly arrived S300 systems must be used to arm the capital. Don't let them take advantage of the loopholes."

He seemed to have thought of the answer, and began to call the commander of the capital's air defense force in a hurry.

BJ time, at 2 pm, Lin Huaisheng came to Xu Jingzhe's office in an orderly manner. He had already conceived a way to get the best of both worlds, and thought it over several times. Now it's time to explain to the teacher.The teacher had told him in the morning that a full-scale political counterattack would be launched tomorrow morning. At that time, major newspapers would publish editorials from the People’s Daily, sternly condemning India’s initiative to escalate the conflict. Make it! "This is a very strong signal of comprehensive confrontation.But before that, military punishment must go first, which means that the time is less than 16 hours.

The plan of the General Staff is to use thunder to sink the Indian aircraft carrier in the Bay of Bengal. The specific weapons have just been secretly deployed and are being debugged. At that time, no matter whether they are fully sure, the missiles will be launched; after calculation, 3 missiles will be launched at the same time. The probability of the aircraft carrier in the cover of the tanker can be increased to 90.00%, but it cannot be increased to [-]%.However, Lin Huaisheng didn't think so. He felt that it was entirely possible for the Indians to isolate the aircraft carrier from the complicated Hughlis River system, providing a prerequisite for accurate missile identification.From a political point of view, if only one missile is used to solve an aircraft carrier, it is the best deterrent to the covetous United States.

When he entered the office, the old man was rubbing his temples sullenly, and seemed to be still playing for Gorshkov.

"Teacher, I'm here."

"Sit down, I'm really waiting for you, do you really have a mature plan?"

"Yes, almost."

"Quick, tell me." The old man urged eagerly.

"I think now is the time to use that long line," he said slowly.

"Enabling long-distance lines? But the ground battle still hasn't started, can't we lose the big because of small things?"

"No, we will tell Charmain the real information, no doubt we can catch Charmain more reliably."

"How true?"

"First of all, they wanted to know my personal situation, so I let them all know. It is known that although our internal traitor has a high position, he is not a member of the military region, so it is impossible for him to have very detailed information. Man, let him take a good look at it."

"Well, but time is not an advantage. At least three days ago, Charmain had obtained the main information about you. Therefore, such information can only be verified by him."

"That's right, so we have to sell them the details of our immediate action against INS-VIK, the more precise the better."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the old man was inevitably a little surprised, but he was still deep in the city, and he just waited for Lin Huaisheng to continue.

"The ASBM system is not something that India can defend against. Therefore, the aircraft carrier is still doomed after being informed a few hours in advance. And if they sense that the aircraft carrier may be attacked, the first reaction in panic is to put him Quickly moved to the sea and hid deep in the Bay of Bengal."

"Well, that's it."

"I checked the main access and exit channels of the Hooglis River, and they are all relatively narrow. Such a large ship can only be towed out of the port by a large number of tugboats. The departure operation takes more than 40 minutes, and it takes four hours to go from Haldia to the Bay of Bengal. , before this, she could not take advantage of her speed, so the aircraft carrier would not be able to run far anyway; and when she mobilized, it would be impossible for her to be surrounded by large civilian ships for cover. This way, the problem of missile homing will also be solved untie."

Xu Jingzhe paused for a while, as if he was thinking about the feasibility, but he never expected Lin Huaisheng to think of such a solution.

"What if she doesn't come out?"

"If you don't come out, attack according to the original plan, so that at least Charmain can eat our insiders with peace of mind. I know that people who engage in intelligence are suspicious, especially Charmain. We must..."

"Wait, there is a loophole in your plan." The old man quickly thought of a question.

"how?"

"I gave him information through secret channels, and then he mobilized the aircraft carrier to leave the port. As a result, the aircraft carrier was sunk not far from the port, so that he would still suspect that this was a plan from the causal relationship. In order to increase the [-]% Do you think it's worth the chance?"

"Teacher, I haven't finished." Lin Huaisheng replied calmly, "The attack plan of ASBM in the early morning of tomorrow must be reported within the army on a larger scale than before."

"You mean, you deliberately leaked it to the traitor?"

"Yes, but he must send this information later than our line."

"Well, I understand a little bit."

"That's right. Let our insider contact Charmain in an urgent way and tell him all the details of what we are going to do. In an hour or two, the real traitor will send the general content, but the details are not detailed enough. How will he judge?"

Xu Jingzhe took a deep breath, now he has to assume that he is Charmain, and then make a judgment.As the head of intelligence, he should evaluate the timeliness and completeness of the intelligence. When the two pieces of intelligence from different sources are highly consistent, he will immediately notify his superiors, mobilize the aircraft carrier, and then come the news that the aircraft carrier has been sunk. .Then it will be difficult for him to detect that the source of the intelligence is deliberately targeting him, unless both sources are unreliable, which is obviously impossible.

"Sounds like it might work."

"Actually, this is also an excellent opportunity for us to follow the vine and catch this traitor. From the current point of view, the communication of the chief of the army is obviously monitored, and this person must have certain special technical means. We can The investigation will be carried out within the time period. Even if this person is not arrested, we will have an advantage in sending misleading information to Chamain through the inside line in the future."

Xu Jingzhe stood there thinking for a full 5 minutes. Lin Huaisheng's plan was obviously well thought out, and all aspects were calculated without any loopholes. The only problem was to alert the highest authorities to perform this play for him. As for the prediction, it is indeed a very dangerous loophole for this traitor hidden in the top ranks of the army to predict that the rank will be above the major general.

At [-]:[-] p.m. New Delhi time, Charman suddenly received an important message from the North American agent, informing the insider that the insider was outside the scheduled time, and suddenly sent an urgent information by email.Charmain has learned about the high-level meeting of the Chinese military, which has been going on for several hours, and he is eagerly looking forward to getting some information at this moment.

This insider line is the pride of his intelligence career. He used complicated and tortuous single-line communication methods to ensure the safety of his intelligence, and now he will be rewarded.

At 22:01, the information was sent to him in three parts.The decrypted and spliced ​​content reads: The Chinese military has detected the aircraft carrier Vilante hidden in the lower reaches of the Hughris River near the port of Haldia. The specific coordinates as of this morning are 15.25°88′05″N and 16.53°[-]′[-]″E. [-]°[-]′[-]″, the military decided to use an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) to attack the target at two o’clock in the morning. This military retaliation aimed at sabotaging India’s routes in the Indian Ocean will cooperate with A harsh political statement.

The second part is the general content of an editorial to be published by Xinhua News Agency, which mainly focuses on India's behavior of violating the rules of maritime transportation and leading to the escalation of the conflict, and puts forward the most severe warning.The warning uses the typical, belligerent language of "If you don't attack me, I won't attack you!"

The last part is the main personnel information on the Indian combat staff circle, including a major general who is currently fighting in southern Pakistan, and a colonel who has been hiding behind the scenes for intelligence analysis and staff work for many years. The identity of this intelligence officer has long been It is top-secret. At present, only one photo of this person in 2002, when he inspected Russian export models of weapons, and some articles on the analysis of the situation in South Asia can be collected.

From the attached photo, one can tell at a glance that it is the same person in the photo obtained from different channels a few days ago, but it also looks younger.In the photo, the intelligence officer was standing in front of a T90S tank, with the rank of lieutenant in the army, and some Russian military and foreign trade personnel stood beside him.For some unknown reason, the Russians let the Chinese sneak a peek at the T90S that was about to be exported to India more than ten years ago. Maybe Russia even thought about exporting tanks to China back then.

For Charmain, now is not the time to express his thoughts on Lin Huaisheng's photos. The aircraft carrier Virant is in danger, and now is the time to consider how to save it.It is known that this aircraft carrier is really next to the third pier in the port of Haldia, which is exactly the same as the Chinese reconnaissance.

Charmain immediately roughly measured the distance on the map, and it was less than 800 kilometers away from the nearest border of China, and it seemed feasible to attack.Charmain didn't know much about ASBMs, although of course he knew that this heavy weapon had a range of at least 1500 kilometers.As for how the terminal guidance and attitude control of this weapon are carried out, he doesn't know, and naturally he doesn't know how to defend.
