Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 393 Last Quarter Moon

Lin Huaisheng finished his simple inspection of the frontier and flew directly to the army aviation unit behind the snow-capped mountains 50 kilometers away. After the war, he will directly lead this unit into action.He had nothing else to do, so he sat in the temporary command post, watching the hundreds of people in the command post, busy and busy, waiting for everything to start.

The early training location of this unit was in the Nu River area north of Gaoligong Mountain. After the training was completed, it gradually moved to the valley area north of the Yarlung Zangbo River bend area, 80 kilometers away from the control line.The starting point of the previous plan was not here, but in the hinterland of Medog. However, due to transportation and confidentiality issues, it was proved that this idea was unrealistic. Later, it was changed to the LZD area supported by roads.After a detailed investigation of Shannan's terrain and meteorological data, the staff made this bold plan change.According to the new plan, after the attack is launched, the aircraft fleet will directly cross the eastern slope of Doxionla and break through directly behind the enemy's rear; the plan itself has some risks, but the meteorological force has already made an accurate forecast for the weather in the next 48 hours, judging that this will be The best time of the year for a helicopter flight over the mountain pass.

The secret assembly of all the large-scale equipment of the unit took more than three months.At present, there is an air assault force at the brigade level, with one armed helicopter brigade and one heavy transport helicopter brigade under its jurisdiction, as well as the attached mechanical repair and logistics units; in addition, there are two independent light reconnaissance helicopters and transport helicopter units; a total of nearly 3 helicopters.Although it cannot be compared with the scale of the US military's helicopter operations, it is enough to attack and occupy an airport only 2 kilometers away.

The difficulty of this large-scale mobilization is how to completely avoid the enemy's eyeliner.Judging from the fact that the enemy is still blindly building the runway at Jabwa Airport, the project has been achieved, and the intelligence unit under the leadership of Xu Jingzhe can be said to have contributed a lot.Recently, Xu Jingzhe has deliberately relaxed some frontier areas, deliberately letting Lausanne's secret agents see, the purpose is to deepen the enemy's misjudgment.The most critical troops are all hidden in the rear areas, and all passages are strictly controlled, so that it is difficult for the enemy to detect anything.

Lin Huaisheng stared blankly at the preparations of the troops on the big screen.A correspondent came over, and it turned out that a new battle report had arrived.

Judging from the latest photos taken by satellites, the tanks gathered at the edge of Tespur Airport are already small. Two hours ago, there were about 2 to 7 tanks.However, this group of tanks has not been mobilized, but has been changing positions near the airport, possibly to deceive satellite reconnaissance.Chaguye has always been good at pretending to be smart, and he probably thought it would be useful, so he might as well let him do it.However, for the time being, Lin Huaisheng couldn't see any signs of him throwing troops at Dawang in a desperate attempt. Perhaps the feint wasn't strong enough, and he was still hesitating?Or maybe he wasn't going to defend Dawang at all?Judging from the retreat of his troops and the action of blowing up the bridge, it seems that he is preparing to defend the area further south.

Lin Huaisheng looked suspiciously at the second part of the report, which was the latest trend of the upper echelons in India.I don't know how many ways, Xu Jingzhe always has a way to get these things, and it's quite timely, which really makes Lin Huaisheng admire.

This is the most confidential operation of the Indian Ministry of Defense, and Minister Singh is on his way to southern Pakistan.Due to political considerations, the Assassin had to take a risk and go personally to encourage Spanga, while at the same time showing the world that he had won.Although this timing is inappropriate because Tawang is being heavily shelled, he still believes that the crisis in southern Tibet can be warded off with a package of plans. Proof that this offensive can get out of hand.

"It's really time for this guy to leave." Lin Huaisheng couldn't help sneering.It was indeed an accidental score, and Chaguye got some T90 tanks, but the test he was about to face was not something a mere battalion of armored troops could handle.

Over the Shamsi Airport, six majestic Su-6s flashed past at high altitude and flew north.Shortly after the Lion Squadron confirmed that the enemy air force did not dare to take off, two military transport planes of the Indian Air Force appeared in the sky. They circled at low altitude and began to land.

On the edge of the airport, about 2000 Indian marines lined up in a sparse column, ready to welcome the arrival of a big man.

Singer glanced down at the airport, which had just captured 24 hours.Not long ago, he ran out of resources and fired cruise missiles here with all his strength. Unexpectedly, the runway was well preserved. This shows how poor the accuracy of the BrahMos missile is. Of course, there is also a good side in reality. For example, he can quickly reach the Frontline inspections.In fact, getting this airport was completely effortless.A battalion of Marines, on the move, arrived and occupied the airfield, which was deserted at the time, as the Chinese had withdrawn to Peshawar some hours before.

Singh could see some C130 transport planes parked by the airport, some from the Indian Airborne Forces, and some from the Pakistani Air Force that were too late to take them away.Beside the other runway, there were even some Chinese planes that did not make the transition. Perhaps due to the lack of parts, Singer recognized some Chinese-made Sukhoi planes and J-10 fighter jets.

"Why don't they admit that it's the end of the road?"

This question is Singer's biggest question, and he has asked himself many times, and now he wants to go to the front line to find the answer.

After the transport plane came to a complete stop, Singh stepped out of the plane from the rear.He would love to put on his old uniform and be part of the military at this glorious moment, but it doesn't matter, what matters is that in this long war, Pakistan has lost 40.00% of its territory, and 70.00% of its army.

The well-groomed Spanga walked towards him, followed by his staff and a group of Marine Corps officers. His armored force was still tens of kilometers away, and it was too late to arrive. For the time being, the Marine Corps could only rely on the Marine Corps to support the scene .

"On behalf of the Army, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Your Excellency for visiting the frontline during the war."

The lieutenant general saluted.

"I should thank you, Commander. The enemy was finally driven to a dead end by you."

The two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"I just arrived too. The enemy withdrew very hastily. I thought there was still a fierce battle. As a result, their air force withdrew to the north. About 1 ground troops fled to Iran. Unfortunately, they couldn't stop it." .”

"Don't be sorry, the point is that their plan to use this airport to blackmail us has gone bankrupt. They have been completely defeated by us; the world will realize how outrageous the overestimation of China's strength has been over the years."

The two boarded a jeep and briefly reviewed the troops.There is no military band, so only a recording of the Indian military song is played, the speakers are still freshly seized, the sound is distorted, and it stops at the first bar.

When the music stopped, the jeep happened to be parked next to a J-11B fighter jet. Several repair doors on the plane could be seen wide open, and there was no engine at the rear. Obviously, it was too late to repair it and take it away.

"Look, how embarrassing they escaped, they are going downhill." Singer jumped out of the jeep happily and walked over.

"Yes, they left a lot of equipment behind. The missiles and anti-aircraft guns of the air defense force were left in the east. Some main battle tanks were abandoned on the way to escape to Iran. Most of the ammunition piled up along the way were too late to destroy."

"You mean, we also seized the kind of tanks that are difficult to penetrate?"

"Yes, there is one in front." Spanga kept his hands away, and sure enough, in the long grass half a kilometer away, there was a Type 99 tank parked impressively. The long barrel faced the mountains to the east, and the turret The hatch on the plane was wide open, and two Indian soldiers were standing aside.

"It's so valuable, I really regret that I didn't bring the reporter, why didn't I think of it?"

Singh felt a little remorseful. The level of secrecy at the front line was very high. He didn’t bring reporters with him, and he didn’t even use the special plane. This was partly because of rumors from the Army Intelligence Office that there was still an all-powerful aerial killer in the Pakistan Air Force. Now it looks like pure worry.

"Let's go and see."

Singh and Spanga loaded into the jeep and headed straight for the lone tank. Both he and Spanga had served in tank units and were more interested in ground equipment than in aircraft.

The jeep stopped under the Type 99 tank, and it could be seen that it was a tank larger than the T90. Green smoke was still coming out from under the grid baffle in the engine compartment, and there was a smell of burnt rubber.

"I guess it's over 55 tons."

"Perhaps more, Minister."

Singer walked briskly to the front of the tank, and the entrance and exit of the cockpit under the gun barrel were also open. He looked in with his head and saw that the operation was simple and easy to use from the operating instruments and gear lever.

"The mileage is only 710 kilometers, and it is still very new."

He looked up and saw that the wedge armor was covered with shallow pits, and then he patted hard, the armor was hard and thick.He could imagine the situation when the long rod kinetic energy projectile hit it and broke.

"It looks... not bad, it really exceeded my expectations."

"The armor is so thick that our tanks have no chance within a kilometer," added Spanga, who apparently had seen it before.

"I see that there was a fire inside the tank, did they destroy it?"

Singer's question, obviously very expert.

"Almost, the power part was hit by a rocket launcher in the mountainous area. After running for 6 kilometers, it finally broke here. They used grenades to destroy some internal equipment."

"Soldiers shouldn't drop their weapons, they should fight to the end, these cowards."

He evaluated lightly, then looked up to the side of the turret, the tactical marker of the Pakistani [-]st Armored Division shook his head.

"The Chinese are really generous, but it's a pity that they were wasted in vain; by the way, what does the white circle on the barrel mean?"

Singer continued to ask with great interest.

"I don't know," Spanga shrugged indifferently, "There are more than 30, maybe it's some kind of symbol?"

Confused about the meaning of the circles, the two left the tank side by side.Singer was having some thoughts in his heart and told the lieutenant general a truth.

"In the current situation, although we have won a huge victory, there are still some things outside the battlefield that worry the Prime Minister.

"You mean the Chinese refuse to recognize our military success?" Spanga quickly grasped Singer's intentions.

"Yes, they are weird people who have been delusional about what they have lost on the battlefield." Singer shook his head, "As long as they make a little gesture, the Prime Minister will stop actions in the Indian Ocean, honestly Said, I think the Prime Minister considers China's current difficult situation more fully than Chinese politicians. But they rejected all the good intentions. Look, where in this world is there a winner who sincerely waits for the loser to speak up of?"

"Could it be a precursor to their military adventures in Arunachal or Kashmir?"

"Only the most amateurish politicians would continue a war at such a wrong time. But, as it seems to be true, yesterday they launched another offensive in Arunachal, forcing Lieutenant General Chaguye to blow up a bridge , an endless look, what shall we do with them?"

Singer's helpless demeanor clearly said that his so-called victory was actually a bit of self-deception.

"Your Excellency, I am a soldier, not a politician; but as far as I know, you cannot talk about peace without the determination to fight to the end."

"Well, it's true to say so. But the matter should come to an end. The Americans hope that our two countries will continue to stalk, and they just don't understand."

Singer frowned and said that as a soldier, it was indeed difficult for Spanga to understand the sufferings of the minister. This money-burning war has been going on for too long, and India is being dragged into the abyss by it.

A small crescent moon looked up over the clouds in southern Tibet.

The Indian soldiers at the Puram post have just finished their evening prayers.A soldier on the commanding height post with a rifle on his back heard the movement of the kitchen, and quickly turned around and urinated towards the roaring river below, preparing to go down to eat.A melancholy cloud covered the moonlight, and he suspected that he saw something flying past his eyes without a sound.
