Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 400 Interference Warning Radar
Using tactical aircraft to fight tanks has always been the weak point of the Air Force, especially in areas with dense mobile anti-aircraft firepower and relatively deep areas, it is indeed difficult to perform such tasks.However, Army Aviation's armed helicopters could only barely reach Jabuwa Airport without carrying anything, and then they could only wait for the transport plane to deliver weapons and ground personnel.This is an obvious shortcoming caused by technical shortcomings to tactical deployment.

The major general shifted his gaze to the east of the huge map. The various airports in the direction of Yunnan are in the final preparations. Most of the airports have already been prepared. That is to say, it is too late to adjust the loaded weapons. He Unavoidably, he became a little worried, for fear that the scene of the emergency plane landing in Quetta would repeat itself.

The air landing in Quetta was an unforgettable lesson for him and Lin Huaisheng. Most of the equipment carried by the Il-76 that landed in the first wave turned out to be inappropriate afterwards, especially the miniaturized paratroopers. The tank cannot compete with the Indian main battle tank in all aspects, and it is not suitable for defensive operations. The command-guided anti-tank missiles equipped on the tank cannot penetrate the front of the T90.In the end, relying on the 90mm rocket launcher carried by the infantry and two extremely powerful Pakistani armored troops that came out of nowhere, they managed to withstand the first round of the White Tiger Regiment's offensive.However, this time in the Assam region, there will be no allied support. The separatist guerrillas are still in a state of neither enemy nor friend, and most of them are mobs without even rifles.

After conducting countless simulated confrontations on the map and lessons learned, the military region finally made an unexpected decision. In this round of transportation after the capture of Jabwa, not all infantry fighting vehicles with weak offense and defense were dispatched, but It is a light tank that has just completed various tests and has not yet been deployed to the army, and is matched with a high ratio of tanks (1:1).

It is undoubtedly a gamble to let an immature equipment take the lead alone, but both the staff and Lin Huaisheng are inclined to this method.After Lin experienced several battles in Banan, he doubted the combat capability of infantry fighting vehicles. Tanks can quickly fire at any ground target under various weather conditions day and night, while anti-tank missiles are affected Due to many factors, especially at night, it is impossible to fight against tanks.

This new type of light tank is equipped with a 105mm main gun and a special suspension system for use in mountains.In terms of firepower and armor, it is not as good as the T4S tank of the Indian 90th Brigade. After all, its weight is only a little more than half of the T90.And the main battalion of the Indian 4th Armored Brigade once participated in the battle near Multan, and has a little actual combat experience.Although it is unclear whether this battalion is currently assembled in Tespur, the Chinese armored training unit that is about to enter the battlefield has not experienced any battle formation, and it is a typical high-level theoretical level with 0 practical experience. "Elite Troops"; what's the situation?It really worried the old man.

The commander in charge of the battle sat on the chief seat in the front row, looking calm and relaxed.He turned his head from time to time and asked Xu Jingzhe some things, such as the battalion number of the Indian tank unit that was gathering in Tespur, had it been verified?Old Xu told him that there was no news yet, and the commander didn't seem to care. He stubbed out the cigarette butt and lit another one, but Xu Jingzhe couldn't help sighing.

"It's a pity that we don't have an aircraft like the C17 to obey the tactics. I'm really worried."

"What are you worried about?" The commander turned around calmly, "The Indian 4th Armored Brigade is not a great unit. Its performance in Multan was not very eye-catching."

"But, Commander. I'm always worried that Jabwa is too close to Tezpur, they'll come right up, and we're deep behind enemy lines, so there won't be another amazing company of Pakistani tanks falling out of the sky... ..."

"Old Xu, you don't know anything about armored soldiers," the commander interrupted him rudely, "I was in Tongdeng in 79. In these hilly areas, high and low shooting ranges are more important."

After the commander finished speaking, he showed a mysterious and confident smile, and in turn gave his intelligence chief a little comfort.

"So it's like this? But after all, it hasn't been finalized yet."

"Don't worry, I went to the teaching team several times last month and watched them shoot targets in various mountainous situations. The suspension is indeed a must. If the Indian 4th Armored Brigade dares to underestimate the enemy, I guarantee that they will not be able to walk around."

The major general stopped talking, leaned back on the chair, and waited for the electronic warfare plane to launch. This night's changing pattern was like a revolving lantern. Not to mention that Chaguye from Tespur had never seen it before, and it was the first time for everyone in this headquarters. Seeing, so far, everything is proceeding step by step, except that the commando has a helicopter returning to Medog due to a malfunction, and there has been no major mistake.

At this moment, Lin Huaisheng's first echelon has quietly crossed the control line.On the dark mountain ahead, someone was constantly shaking the lights to guide the helicopter.That is obviously a few hours ago, his own people who occupied the commanding heights ahead of time.

"Attention everyone, we continue to lower the height."

Someone in the cockpit shouted to dozens of people behind.

As in the case of training on the Nu River, a helicopter close to a rushing river will pose a huge risk. Although the roar of the river can be used to block the noise, it will also increase the difficulty of control.The pilot must keep an eye on the radio altitude equipment and the navigation route at the same time. If there is too much travel in any direction, it will be fatal, and the closer to the river, the more difficult it is to control the airflow.

In the first few seconds, the plane began to vibrate violently, and gradually recovered after a while.The lead light aircraft was always a little higher ahead and its anti-collision lights could always be seen blinking.

"Turn on the rear side anti-collision lights and tell No. 3 that it is too close." The driver said to the side while pushing the stick.

The co-pilot picked up the intercom and spoke on the formation channel.I saw that the helicopter that was too close behind gradually pulled up and fell behind.

This echelon did not have any protective capabilities before landing, and the slow heavy armed helicopters fell far behind.

Lin Huaisheng looked at his watch. According to the timetable, it should be the time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send an urgent note to the Myanmar ambassador to China.In the next few hours, the whole world will know what happened.

He is not too worried about diplomatic troubles. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of refugees caused by India's attack on the Jhelum Dam, the minor operation of the graphite bomb on the power system is not worth mentioning at all.The matter of crossing the airspace of neighboring countries was originally a headache for the top, but fortunately, India set an example first.Coupled with Prime Minister Kahan's decision to intercept civilian ships on the high seas, it is hard to see that international public opinion will react too violently to China's next actions.Of course, what they like to say is also their business, and they can never influence China's national will.

The other soldiers were checking their weapons over and over again. Lin Huaisheng was not as nervous as them. He spread out a large-scale map on his knees.Then compare the satellite navigation data and mark the route on the map. Now it has penetrated 15 kilometers south of the Indian line of control. This is just the beginning.With the cover of the high mountains in the west, India has lost the best opportunity for early warning; then, it is the low hilly area, and it is impossible to avoid it completely by ground and air.Right now, it should be time for the electronic jammer to go out.

As he expected, the accompanying electronic warfare aircraft that took off from several airports have already begun to perform jamming missions over East Sion.

The parameters of most of the long-range radars of the Indian Army have already been collected thoroughly, and now it is time to cut off the eyes and ears of Lieutenant General Tispur.

Previously, the Indian warning radars in Tespur and several important strongholds have been passively monitored, and no soft strikes have been taken, mainly to paralyze the enemy. At the same time, they are also afraid that the enemy will find some countermeasures during the confrontation. After all, China's electronic means Relatively single, indeed there are doors.And now is the time to suppress it.

After targeted suppression of each 2-coordinate warning radar of the Indian Army with a calibrated position, it encountered a simple countermeasure as scheduled, but the frequency hopping method of the same type of radar has been repeatedly tested on the western front. And the radar units in the east haven't bothered to adjust.Every frequency interval and width change of these radars is under control, and they are quickly returned to the prototype.

On the huge electronic map of the command center of the Tespur Command, some traces of the opponent's appearance in the air can be seen all the time; but in a blink of an eye, hundreds of detected targets begin to flash on the screen, the number far exceeds The dispatch capability of the Chinese Air Force.The active interference and the chaff corridor with the old suspicious formation immediately made Chaguye lose his eyes and ears.

The lieutenant general changed his previous pretending to be calm, and began to walk back and forth in front of the large group of command staff, not only appearing extremely anxious, but also talking to himself from time to time.His abnormal actions had a very bad psychological implication to the staff of the headquarters. They found out that their boss was not so sure of himself.

"Let the Ministry of National Defense urgently dispatch an early warning aircraft. Damn it, the ground radar doesn't work. They must be carrying out some conspiracy at night, but I don't know."

Near Tespur Airport, there is a search radar with strong anti-jamming capability belonging to the S300 position, but it has just arrived not long ago, and it is currently being debugged and cannot be put into use.

"Maybe it's aimed at the C17 transport plane. Can their air force threaten our air route?"

"Commander, we are 70 kilometers around Tespur, we have complete air defense capabilities, and they can't break through yet."

As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, he heard the sound of an explosion from above. The ventilation system in the basement also stopped for a while, and then started to work again.The lieutenant general and the adjutant looked at each other without saying a word, waiting for the report.

"It is reported that it is a cruise missile that hit the ground headquarters of the 4th Army and a temporary power station."

There must be their spies in the city, and the gendarmes are ordered to put the whole city under martial law, and if any suspicious elements are caught, they will be shot on the spot.The lieutenant general began to guess wildly. He simply moved the headquarters underground a month earlier. The Fourth Army headquarters had actually become an empty shell.

"I hope they don't have any weapons that can penetrate the bunkers below." Inevitably, he began to worry about his fate again.

"Don't worry, they may know the location of the headquarters at all." The adjutant comforted.

"Report, the enemy has just used long-range firepower to attack the artillery facilities around Derangzong. The 56th Division is counting the losses."

The bad news came one after another. The lieutenant general walked to the edge of the map with his hands behind his back. He knew without any measurement that the enemy's long-range firepower that could hit here was undoubtedly those terrifyingly powerful rocket launchers. After losing the tornado, the range of his artillery It is less than one-third of the opponent, and there is no way to fight back.

"I told them to always beware of satellites and move their positions more, but these guys just don't listen."

He complained, and he had nothing to say about the positions that had been destroyed before firing.In a few months, the Chinese lost a large number of drones for reconnaissance, and they were waiting for this moment.

"Any new reports from Captain Lausanne?"

"Radio contact suddenly lost and repeated calls are in progress."

Thousands of kilometers away, the headquarters of the Chinese army fought more than the underground headquarters of the lieutenant general.On the huge map, the enemy's red circle representing the enemy's air defense capability is gradually shrinking. As each radar is suppressed, its air defense vision will lose a piece.The entire Indian Eastern Command, the airspace that can still be monitored, has been divided into large and small parts.Lin Huaisheng's assault route skillfully followed the edges of these areas and extended to the destination.

The condescending Chinese long-range radar first saw an A50 early warning aircraft scrambled from the interior of India, approaching Siguri. It was flying very slowly, perhaps waiting for the escort formation to converge. Much northerly, this is its forced choice in order to increase detection capabilities.
