Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 389 The Last Twilight
India has not yet intercepted oil tankers from major Gulf oil-exporting countries, because India itself relies on oil from these countries, but its reckless actions have had a huge destructive effect. Many cruise ship owners have begun to assess risks. The energy channel crisis has already begun. revealed.

Lin Huaisheng knew that for China, the diplomatic retreat was virtually cut off, and the country's will to war would no longer be a problem.Over the past 60 years, China has never succumbed to intimidation, and it will never do so in the future.In this sense, it is India that is determined to push itself to a dead end, as the so-called self-inflicted evil cannot live.

Now the two great powers have come to the road of no return of the most desperate confrontation, and there is no other ending except for one side to fall.China's confidence is reflected in its oil reserves and its ability to expand domestic exploration, as well as its hard power to completely solve problems through World War I.And India's self-confidence comes from her innate geographical advantages in the Indian Ocean. This is a dangerous gamble, because India's leaders are unwilling to face up to India's biggest geographical disadvantage-New Delhi is too close to China.

This battle will no longer be as simple as regaining lost ground.The mere gains and losses in southern Tibet are not enough to destroy the enemy's war potential. In fact, they can only irritate the Indian people; the only area that can completely disintegrate India's will to war is on the western front, which is India's key point.

Shamsi Airport in southern Pakistan ushered in the last dusk.

The cruise missile launched by India's Su-30MKI can already effectively attack any target in and around the airport.All the air defense systems in the south have already retreated to the border under the heavy pressure of their army, and the warning time has been greatly compressed.However, the retreat is being carried out in an orderly manner on the two runways of Shamsi Airport, and the Indian attack did not disrupt the rhythm of the retreat.

Mohammad Sami is sitting on a mound of soil by the airport, waiting for the final evacuation. The No. 001 Thunderbolt fighter jet he once flew is under repair. Whether it can be repaired depends on luck. He doesn't want to be crowded in a transport plane with a group of infantry retreat.

The flashes and rumbling explosions behind the mountains in the east have not stopped. It is the army's final artillery battle. The enemy tanks are breaking through those flashes, and they will sweep over sooner or later.

The bleak air defense siren sounded again over the airport, but this time the siren seemed too late. Only ten seconds later, the dark sky began to emit a frightening light. A dazzling meteor fell from the sky and landed 1 kilometer away. In the residential area, there was a huge explosion accompanied by a flash of light. The old man didn't bother to move. When the scorching air wave brushed over his old face, he reluctantly turned his head and stretched out his hand to block it.

"Land missile," he sneered, "they really paid for it."

The victory of the Indians is imminent, and Spanga has done everything he can. He has shot out all kinds of long-range ammunition, and as always, he does not care about any civilian targets. Of course, the accuracy of Indian ballistic missiles does not allow them to go too far Different from the civilian target next to the airport, this missile was also likely to hit the runway.

After the explosion, the runway quickly resumed scheduling. The Chinese Air Force transport plane waiting to take off and transition began to taxi, then rose from the ground and disappeared into the clouds. Then two Thunder fighter jets took off together and turned to the north.

The Indian Air Force does not dare to fly directly over the airport, but the US Navy aircraft that often appear nearby must be guarded against, so the transport aircraft needs fighter escort.

The colonel has seen such a hasty retreat in the past six months. He used to fight at many airports in the east. Whenever an airport was on the verge of falling, he was the last to evacuate. Now his squadron has completely disappeared, and the remaining ones There were few old guys he could recognize in Pakistani squadrons either.This war has exhausted the elite of the Pakistani Air Force. If the war can still be won, how to rebuild the Pakistani Air Force is indeed a big problem.

A jeep approached in the yellow sand in the distance, and he knew it was Song Ning. Sammy remembered that he only told Song Ning that he was here to watch the sunset.

"Don't be discouraged, old man. I have some good news for you. The parts of the radio station have been found, and the JF17 will be repaired soon." Song Ning ran over with the afterglow of the setting sun on his back, and he was shining brightly from a distance.

"Where did you get it?"

"It was disassembled from a wreckage 5 kilometers away. Last month, another Thunderbolt failed to make an emergency landing there, but most of the radio equipment can still be used."

"Has Major General Islam withdrawn?"

"He's still at the command post, leave now."

Before Song Ning finished speaking, the air defense positions in the east began to rattle non-stop. That was the direction of the mountain pass where Indian cruise missiles often appeared. In fact, that was the only route that Indian cruise missiles could touch the airport.The colonel couldn't help standing up, just in case.

Sure enough, a ball of fire flew through the air, and a Brahmos missile that was thrown by the anti-aircraft artillery barrage lost control. It drew a large arc in the air with thick smoke, and came towards this side.

"Run."

As the colonel said, he ran down the slope to avoid it.The missile flew away overhead and landed behind the mountain.

"It's an air-launched type, launched by their Su-30."

"Well, the Lion and Rhino Squadrons are firing cruise missiles in turn, trying to stop us from retreating, but they haven't hit them yet."

India's 31st Lion Squadron is carrying out the final attack on Shamsi Airport. Its tactical purpose is to prevent the transfer of fighter planes from China and Pakistan to the north.The Su-30MKI is one of the few fighters capable of carrying the huge BrahMos cruise missile for long-range assaults; and the 24th Eagle Squadron has also carried out several BrahMos missile attacks in Kashmir, although the photos taken by satellites show the effect of the attack It was not satisfactory, and several holes were filled in only half a day, but now is the moment when Spanga urgently needs effective attack methods, and he can't care about picking and choosing.

According to the plan, the Lion's fighter plane will follow the Rhino Squadron and launch the missile in the Gilgit Mountains. There are some obvious terrain undulations here, which can provide the missile's millimeter-wave radar to find the correct flight path. In the end, about a third of the time The missile can finally fly near the airport, which is considered a very high success rate for the Indian Air Force.

After the war, this once miraculous missile has not been able to perform to a normal level. The attack on the Jhelum Dam exposed the altitude control problem. After the GPS lost its effect, the situation became worse. Can't touch it. The only solution given by HAL is to reduce the speed to improve the ability of the radar to identify the terrain, but after the deceleration, the penetration capability of the missile has also declined as a whole; now a double-barreled 35mm artillery squatting on the mountain pass can be used in one morning. All approaching missiles were intercepted, and none slipped through the net.

The two Su-2 fighters of the Lion Squadron slowly climbed to the altitude where the missiles were launched, and then began to look for the launch position. Two Tiger Squadron Mirage 30s were at a higher altitude, providing air cover.

The Lion Squadron has always been extremely disgusted with launching 3-ton cruise missiles. The main reason is that the missiles are too bulky and the range is too short. In the final stage of the launch, airborne radar needs to be used to map the ground. During this period, the fighter jets will inevitably lose the ability to search for air ability, which makes it very easy to be attacked.In the end, the squadron issued shameless conditions to its superiors, asking Mirage 2000 or MiG 29 to provide cover; perhaps in the eyes of other self-respecting squadrons, this kind of cover is almost an insult, but the Lion Squadron does not take it seriously. The core values ​​of the squadron.

An early warning plane that took off from Shamsi saw this strange formation slowly approaching from a distance. Major General Islam on the command plane reminded the two J-2s and one Thunder fighter that were on the ground ready to take off. Indians The lions and tigers were dispatched together again, and the route was the same as yesterday.

Sammy was sitting in the cockpit of the Raiden fighter jet to check the VHF radio. After he was shot down, the Black Spider Squadron had already been withdrawn, and now the 16th Squadron, which is gone with the wind, is only left with this block I The No. 001 fighter and his polished commander.

When the colonel heard this rather weird combination of the Indian Air Force, he immediately regained some desire to fight, so he suggested that Song Ning, who was about to take off, should cooperate again before leaving to leave a memory for the enemy.

Major General Islam in the air heard their conversation and did not express any objection. He knew that the Lion Squadron was known for its cowardice, and the possibility of leaving the tiger behind and escaping was extremely high.

The three planes took off in a single file, which was a bit of a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but with an early warning plane behind them, and the enemy had to rely on the radar guidance on the coast, it seemed that they could fight in one battle.After the colonel took off, he immediately took over the command of the major general; he turned to the beach alone and asked Song Ning and Zhao Lin to meet the enemy head-on.In principle, of course, the aircraft with backward performance should be responsible for the feint, and the aircraft with better weapons should attack, but Song Ning didn't want to care about it. He knew that the colonel was old and cunning. There is absolutely no way to screw it up.

Song Ning quickly climbed to 5000 meters and turned to search for the target area. The two Mirage 2 fighter jets reacted immediately, losing their fuel tanks and rushing towards them. Obviously, the tiger still had some guts and dared to fight head-on.

Of course, the range advantage of the medium-range ammunition cannot be given up. He and Zhao Lin each locked on a Mirage 2000 and fired the SD
