Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 396 Graphite Bomb
"Mobilize so many people overnight?"

"It's a bit difficult," the lieutenant general frowned. He did have to keep some mobile forces in his hands as a reserve team. "However, at least two battalions must be guaranteed to reach the designated area before dawn. That's foolproof."

Chaguye also has the helicopters of the "Hovering Angels" squadron that can be used to quickly mobilize troops. The Chinese Air Force rarely takes the risk of chasing helicopters in mountainous areas, especially at night. This is one of the few cards he can play.He realized, too, that it might be unnatural for the area to be too quiet, but his thoughts were much shallower than Charmain had feared.

Within an hour, the paramotor troops assaulting along the river had captured seven small forts along the river one by one. The scale of the firefight was so small that the enemy was completely unprepared and had no time to communicate.

In the end only the last and largest bunker remained, a stronghold near the Gebang Turn.This area is quite deep behind the line of control, and it has long ceased to belong to the forward troops. It is a key radar station of the Indian Air Forces stationed here, and it is not an ordinary observation post.There are not small air defense forces and garrison troops deployed around the stronghold.

Since the enemy has deployed heavy troops here, and this place has penetrated deep into the rear, the snow wolves cannot penetrate here, and it is obviously not feasible to rely on a small group of troops for a surprise attack.The attack plan formulated by the headquarters is relatively complicated. First, the assault force will approach secretly, and then the air force will attack the rest of the facilities; the commando will take advantage of the chaos to seize the commanding heights.In order to cooperate with its actions, many real and false air defense positions deployed by the Indian army in the so-called Arunachal will be attacked by air to confuse Tispur's judgment.And before dawn, there will be an unprecedented large-scale air strike, which will be launched in the far-reaching Assam region. The targets include some civilian power and communication facilities. The use of civilian systems to make up for the lack of military communication facilities), the secondary purpose is a political showdown, to show New Delhi that although they can provoke wars, the dominance of the evolution of wars is not in their hands.

After Lin Qiang's blue team completed the occupation of the Plum post, they left half of their troops to join the nearby snow wolves, preparing to launch reconnaissance operations against the enemy's front line behind them.The rest of the crew combined fuel and went on to a new assault, preparing for the final battle.This night is destined to leave many stories, but the commandos didn't have time to think too much, they resolutely turned on the thrusters, one by one jumped into the night sky and sneaked towards the south. .

This commanding height at the turn near Gebang is also the last military fortress on the Yarlung Zangbo River. Although the Yarlung Zangbo River still has a long distance to turn and turn, and finally enters Assam, in the southern area, except for a few heavily concentrated areas , and no tight defense.

At 11:[-] p.m. Eastern India Time, the red team approached the target mountain. According to the navigation information, this is a big turning point of a river, so the river is extremely noisy.

The team could see bright lights on the top of the mountain from a distance, and several searchlights were slowly crossing the sky, obviously guarding against drones.Most of the commandos could see the outline of the broken search radar on the commanding heights by the enemy's lights.More than a month ago, in the battle to shoot down the Chinese armed helicopter, this radar provided information for the Indian missile force in the Danba Valley, enabling the enemy's radar position to irradiate the radar and successfully capture the target once it was turned on.Later, the radar was attacked by a Su-30MKK, and the trailer was partially damaged. The intelligence agency analyzed satellite photos. Recently, the Indians acted secretly again and almost repaired it.

RED slowed down and stalked down to dangerous heights to avoid the searchlights.The soldiers could hear the roaring river just below their feet.They would sneak under the nose of the enemy to the south of the stronghold, wait for the rest of the force to reach their designated positions, and operate from both north and south sides.

Because the relay drone turned to avoid the enemy's Sam 6 position, the red commando temporarily lost communication. The captain Feng Jianchun was worrying about the coordination problem. Suddenly, a few kilometers away in the direction of the enemy's barracks, a piercing air defense alarm sounded. It seems that the air force came exactly right.

"Attention all, the air force is here, try to stay east, and don't fall into the firepower of your own people."

He reminded him over the radio.However, there was not much room for them to maneuver, and a few beams of light were flying not far above the group's heads.If there is an upward air flow, it is possible to drag the paramotor to an exposed height at any time.Therefore, the soldiers could only take the risk of lowering the altitude to a lower level, and the formation gradually became disorganized. Some people had already been splashed with cold water on the river's surface, but fortunately, no one fell into the water due to improper operation.

Behind the East and West Bank Mountains, a series of tracer shells began to be fired at the same time, which was obviously the enemy's mobile air defense position firing.The red team members turned on the night vision goggles and could see enemy troops walking back and forth 200 meters away along the coast, but they didn't seem too panicked. It can be seen that the enemy troops stationed here are more professional than those in front.

There was the shriek of bomb landslides in the sky.The commandos looked up but could see nothing.Then there were two violent explosions on the peak protruding from the river. The burning radar truss antenna was thrown high and fell into the river from Feng Jianchun's eyes. The splashed water mist even made it wet. his face.

The third and fourth bomb explosions followed, and the flames almost turned the entire river red. In an instant, this small parachute was completely exposed, but the attention of the enemies along the coast was all on their heads, and no one saw this. A team of 25 people.

The Indian air defense counterattack did not last long, and the series of flames behind the mountains on both sides of the east and west disappeared almost at the same time.After experiencing the brutal training in the environment of losing air supremacy in recent months, the Indian mobile air defense force has accurately grasped the timing of the attack/transfer.In principle, as long as they fire, their artillery radar may be detected, and then the Chinese Air Force aircraft on standby with laser-guided bombs may immediately turn around and complete a radar ground search.If the run is over, a meal bomb may be inevitable.

The surroundings of the river suddenly fell into a moment of silence, only the roar of the river and the raging fire burning on the mountain top remained.

"Attention the red team, beware of the enemies on the east side, pull up a little."

The captain could no longer see his teammates around him, so the formation was already in chaos, but they could still be found on the radio.

"We met on the south side of the mountain."

"Captain Red, this is the headquarters. The blue and yellow teams are 2.5 kilometers away from you, please wait a little longer."

"clear."

After the airstrike, the RED team's communication with the command was restored, and maybe the drone responsible for the communication turned around and came back.

Feng Jianchun thought to himself that Lin Qiang's movements were a little slower than expected, but such a complicated task could not be completed completely according to plan.

An unmanned reconnaissance drone flew quietly over the target area, taking high-altitude photographs of bombed enemy positions.Through satellite communications, the headquarters analyzed the extent of damage to the enemy's surface positions in a timely manner.Under the attack of several 500kg bombs, the machine gun position and radar on the commanding heights have been completely destroyed, and a communication vehicle on the west side of the mountain has also been knocked out.But the fire was on the sky, and the drone could not use night vision equipment to observe the activities of the enemy's ground troops, and it could not give commando instructions on this point.

"Captain Red, the flames on the mountain are too bright, and the remaining enemy forces cannot be seen clearly for the time being."

"clear."

"In the new situation, the fire in the north is too large to be conducive to the assault. The headquarters has decided that you will attack from the south first."

"clear."

Unexpected bad news is coming, the flames on the mountain may disrupt the stealth of the troops, and may even hide the enemy.

Feng Jianchun took the lead to complete the turn, against the hot wind blowing, took the lead to approach the hill.He reminded the follow-up personnel not to follow closely, only to be alert in the air, and then turned on the cooling device of the thermal imager to enhance the image, but the working distance of the night vision device was still greatly reduced.Although the burning area is on the north side of the mountain, the airflow still brings the heat of the flame to its own side, which is a very unfavorable environment for thermal imaging equipment.He can choose not to use night vision equipment, but that is not good for searching around, so he still wears night vision goggles.

"During the planning, it still didn't occur to the enemy to pile up too many flammable materials on the mountain?"

The pungent smell told him that it was the gas produced by the burning of some kind of insulation material.

He approached against a fire, ready to find a flat place to land.Suddenly, three figures appeared from the background of the pale flames, rushing in front of him.These people turned their backs to him, and seemed to be watching the sea of ​​flames.Feng Jianchun ran out of space, and if he turned and flew around calmly, the enemy should hear the sound of the propeller within a few seconds.

He resolutely let go of the pull rope that controlled his attitude, let the air flow drive him forward, and freed his hand to hold the suppressed submachine gun.A laser beam was fired from the muzzle of the gun, and the light spot fell on the back of the head of an enemy on the right. From this distance, the person should have heard the sound of the engine, but he still didn't realize it.

With a burst of shooting, the paralyzed enemy fell down.When another enemy turned around, he was also shot down.Feng Jianchun didn't have time to adjust his stance, and shot the third person, and he rushed in front of the enemy.He flew through the air, kicked and opened his mouth wide to look at his enemy, but the sudden updraft pulled him into the air. He wanted to turn around and make a shot, but he couldn't help him in the air, and lost his shooting range in an instant.The Indian soldier finally understood what had happened, and ran down the hill shouting. The commando No. 2 flew over 100 meters away, made a long and inaccurate shot. Fortunately, a bullet hit his lower body, and the Indian soldier fell again.The commandos quickly replaced the magazines in the air, during which the Indian soldiers kept crawling forward firmly.When he finally staggered to his feet, he was still killed by a burst of shots.

After solving the landing field, the red commandos landed on the south side of the commanding height one by one, and gradually controlled this side.It can be seen that the bunker has been bombed to pieces, and there is no entrance at all, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other enemies below.At this time, other support teams were also approaching.The drone photographed that an enemy rescue force was gathering 200 meters away, and seemed to be preparing buckets and washbasins, which might come to fight the fire.

"The red team pay attention to concealment, and a new air strike will be launched soon."

In a deep airport in XZ, the lights are brightly lit at this moment, and fighter planes are continuously taxiing and taking off from the runway, and are thrown into the air strike; however, there are several J-11B fighter planes connected to the cold air pipes on the side of the runway that have never been dispatched.

Ground crews are making final preparations for their mission - loading a special bomb.A few hours later, these fighter planes will break through to the south of the Brahmaputra River and use graphite bombs to attack some military and civilian power facilities.These attacks may cause more than half of Assam to panic. Before this, the Chinese army has never launched an attack on civilian targets. The attack on Assam in the non-disputed area is also quite restrained, even though it is the entire Aru The immediate rear of the Indian Army in the Nachal area.

In the consciousness of Indian Prime Minister Kahan or Defense Minister Singh, it is their prerogative to provoke or escalate wars. The Indian Air Force has long had a record of shooting civilians or artificially creating floods in Pakistan.Today, the Chinese Air Force will let them go and give them a big blow. If they can wake up, they should be able to realize that wars are not always carried out according to their wishful thinking.Of course, attacking power plants on paramilitary targets is much more restrained than the Indian Air Force dropping bombs directly on the crowd.
