Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 409 Awakening from a Dream
On the display, a J-10B formation on the north side is turning and approaching. After all, these medium-sized multi-purpose aircraft have a limited range and cannot carry too many bombs deep into the hinterland of Assam. Now they are only responsible for air control operations and use lightweight anti-radiation missiles to fight against The ground radar has almost been reduced to the role of a striker.However, these aircraft always reassure bomber pilots that the low-to-medium-altitude turning performance of the J-10 fighter jets gives them considerable advantages in combating the enemy's radar.Since there are no fools on this battlefield who always turn on the scan and never maneuver, the ground-air confrontation has become unprecedentedly flexible and varied. Sensitive light fighters can always quickly occupy a favorable position in such confrontations, The attack can also be accelerated by a few seconds, which invisibly greatly shortens the time for the enemy to start up and fight. For the Indian Army, which is equipped with a large number of semi-active radar-guided missiles, the overall time for tracking, illuminating, firing, and evacuating is impossible. How to deal with anti-radiation strikes has almost become an unsolvable problem for missile force commanders.

The Su-30MKK wingman began to use the peregrine pod to indicate ground targets at an altitude of 6500 meters.According to the order of priority, the anti-aircraft fire should be fired first, but no anti-aircraft fire was found in the column, but a vehicle with a phased array radar was returned, maybe an artillery radar.The composition of enemy troops is not the same as that of ordinary troops.

During the entire observation/approach process, the enemies below were completely unaware, and naturally they did not emit smoke that could weaken the accuracy of laser-guided weapons. It can be seen that their evacuation was quite organized, and the air camouflage was not bad, but the vehicle The absolute temperature difference from the background is too large. On the cathode ray tube monitor of the weapon director, there are a bunch of conspicuous white spots. The closer to the gun barrel, the higher the temperature.

From the navigation map, the dirt road in this area is very narrow, leading to a bridge above a dry river bed. Obviously, if the first vehicle can be knocked out on the bridge, such heavy vehicles will be able to make a mess.The lead plane asked the wingman not to be too impatient and to wait until the target was close to the bridge before firing.

Guided by several jeeps, the first self-propelled gun approached the road bridge.The dazzling light spot immediately irradiated the first self-propelled artillery. The wingman chose medium power to irradiate to prolong the working time of the laser irradiator. There were other targets lined up behind, and the enemy was not blocked by smoke.To be on the safe side, the lead plane chose a KAB500 laser-guided bomb in order to completely destroy the road and bridge.Although in principle, air strikes should try to avoid destroying all roads and bridges in this area so that ground troops can receive them, but right now, it is obviously more important to cut off this enemy's escape route.

The semi-active seeker of the bomb successfully captured the irradiated light spot, and then fell from the pylon, and the autopilot then controlled its four rudder surfaces to fly to the moving target.The enemy's movement speed is not slow. In terms of the normal accuracy of this bomb, there is a possibility of missing the target, but the explosive power of the bomb should be enough to make up for the small error.

A huge flash appeared on the display screen, and the entire display screen was flickering with white light. Unfortunately, the explosion sound could not be heard at an altitude of 4000 meters.

By the time the flames faded, almost nothing remained of the first self-propelled gun, and only half of the bridge had been blown up.The two jeeps that opened the way ahead were also overturned to the ground by the huge air wave.

"The M17 bridge was blown up by us, we won't make trouble, will we?"

"Who knows?"

The wingmen began to use 250 kg domestically-made laser-guided bombs to attack the huddled follow-up self-propelled artillery. Some trucks frightened the road and ran around. Or a high-value target with a phased array radar installed on the chassis.

With every dazzling flash, a self-propelled artillery or ammunition delivery vehicle was blown into the sky, almost without missing a shot.After pulling out the ground anti-aircraft firepower, the Ministry of Aviation can almost do whatever it wants to deal with ground targets.At the same time, the J-10 fighter jets in the north are also witty and courageous against the enemy's mobile air defense forces in the dark. Whenever the enemy's air scanning warning or tracking radar is captured, a fighter plane will quickly turn around. Launch the missile first.Another fighter plane followed closely behind, ready to guard against the sudden start of the irradiation radar on the nearby commanding heights.The Indian air defense force has recently summed up a set of experience of quick start-up and time lag, but in the face of the updated countermeasures of the Chinese Air Force, it once again fell behind.

He Fan stood on the chassis of the tank and watched the bursts of flames in the distance with a telescope. The explosion was about 10 kilometers away, and the explosion points were concentrated, indicating that most of them did not escape.The speed of the enemy from firing to retreating was very fast. He thought he could escape again, but it was not as fast as the air force.Most of the troops of the Indian Army Training Command have fled to the south of the road, and may counterattack again during the day, but they should not have the courage at night anyway.

More than a dozen helicopters rumbled over from behind, and then landed slowly.The headquarters deployed 2 infantry companies carrying anti-tank weapons here and asked to hold the road.He Fan knew that these troops were originally deployed behind him to prevent the enemy from directly attacking his "wolf lair" after he missed; now, thanks to himself, Lin Huaisheng can push the defense line to the east again by 5 That means India, apart from the Air Force and Tactical Missile Forces, is no longer able to threaten Jabwa Airport. His airborne landing plan, which was riddled with holes, finally survived the initial period of time.

He Fan turned to the east, the horizon was already bright, and the troops arriving one after another should be able to launch an offensive after dawn.He almost admired his own judgment. Seeing the pitted ground and the small village with only a few broken walls left after the shelling, he couldn't help thinking: Kursk is not like this, is it?For a month, he has studied all the terrains in this area that may encounter the T90, and has formulated various coping strategies. Now he is waiting for the 4th Armored Brigade to hit the muzzle by himself.He has been waiting for this day for more than ten years. For him, modern armored warfare is not a simple confrontation between spear and shield.In the era of information warfare, there are actually more options for an excellent commander. He can make full use of his reconnaissance advantages to go around long distances and attack the enemy's rear, or he can hide directly in the dark of the battlefield and use his superior sensors to indicate targets for other troops. In short, face-to-face shooting is his most disgusting way of fighting.

New Delhi.Singh's connecting plane finally landed at the Safford Jones military airfield near Camden Gate. When he landed, he could see that the sky was still dark, and the city was also dark. He had already heard on the plane that New Delhi had been attacked. , a blackout at night is currently in effect.This is almost an unprecedented event, enough to be scolded by the Prime Minister for several hours.You know, although the city has always been plagued by summer blackouts, this is the first time that the lights have been controlled to defend against enemy air forces.

The Minister of Defense hurriedly got off the plane. There were very few people to pick him up, but Charmain came. He knew the depth of the matter, and he must go directly to the Prime Minister's Office.

"During the dozens of hours you've been away, the situation has changed drastically." The director came forward and said straight to the point.

"I've already heard that the enemy parachuted an army in our hinterland?"

"It's not exactly like that. In fact, they captured Jabwa Airport. We don't know the specific method, but it is likely to capture another civilian airport within 24 hours."

"How serious is the situation?"

Charmain paused for a moment, considering what to say.

"Very serious, or I can say this, the real war has just begun. They dropped a force 130 kilometers away from the line of control, not just to harass."

Singer stood there for a while, not knowing how to describe such a thing. For him, the war should have come to an end. He clearly saw a large number of tanks and artillery discarded by the enemy on the Iranian border, and ammunition piled up like a mountain.Calculated according to India's equipment production capacity, these weapons and ammunition are at least one year's output.

"Hey... Prime Minister shouldn't have intercepted their cargo ship in the Indian Ocean."

"I think they would have gone on this offensive even if there hadn't been an action to intercept the cargo ship. That was their plan. Remember that navigation map?"

"But why is it in Jabuwa? I really don't understand?"

"No one can figure it out for the time being. My insiders can only get in touch during the daytime. It is not clear how big they want. Just from the map, the 10,000+ people deployed by Lieutenant General Chaguye were all thrown away by the enemy To the back. In other words, between Tezpur and Jabwa, there is only a 270-kilometer road and a second-rate division that has just been driven out of the Imphal area by the guerrillas."

As soon as Charmain mentioned Lieutenant General Chaguye, he became very angry.

"What's going on with the Prime Minister?"

"The doctor said that the body is fine, and is waiting for us to go there now. As far as I know, the number of people convened for this meeting is very small, only you and Chandra, and..." Charman paused, "still There is Dr. Halbila."

"He found Dr. Halbila?" Singh was taken aback. He knew that this loyalist of the People's Party had presided over the nuclear weapons test more than ten years ago and had always been the prime minister's nuclear policy adviser.

"I think Halbila is a sensible person. No matter whether the prime minister wants to use nuclear weapons on his own land or the enemy's land, he will not agree. But the final decision is after all the small circle of the prime minister and the war committee."

"No, I know Kahan, he is my mentor, not a madman." Singer shook his head desperately to deny this possibility.The two then got into the car and headed directly to the Prime Minister's Office on Dalhousie Street. Everything was in a daze, and no one knew what the fate of the country would be.

As with the previous strategy, when the eastern front launches an attack, the Chinese army will enter a period of silence on the western front.India, on the frontier of the Western Line of Control, suffered only sporadic air strikes that night, targeting newly built observation posts.In fact, the condescending eyeliner of the Chinese army in this area has been closely watching India's actions, and what is waiting is the mobilization of the Indian Army.

Xu Jingzhe has been watching the changes on the map in the command center. Lin Huaisheng's suggestion of prioritizing the deployment of engineers to the theater showed a certain strategic vision, and he finally stood still without any danger.After dawn, the enemy's counterattack will be even crazier, but the maneuver advantage of Lin's army aviation unit will also be revealed.Right now, the runway has been extended by 400 meters. Even if several attacks accurately hit the center of the runway, there will still be no problem with the aircraft landing, which will only reduce the efficiency by about 20.00%.

Now let's see how the upper echelons of India play their cards. They can immediately enter Assam from West Bengal via the Sigurd Corridor. The 23rd Infantry Division is of average combat effectiveness. Still not enough.They absolutely dare not move a group army stationed in Siguri.It is obviously the best way to transfer the 7th and 21st Mountain Division, which originally belonged to the Eastern Command sequence, from Aksai Chin.The thousand-kilometer railway from Amritsar to Dispur is blocked by the terrain and neighboring countries (Nepal, Bhutan), and the air force cannot attack in depth. The channel for the Indian army to mobilize troops from west to east is still open.
