Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 411 Tight Defense
With the arrival of daylight and the timely deployment of the troops, Lin Huaisheng obtained a new fire support option.At night, he can't use long-range rockets to attack without observation-there are a large number of civilians scattered in this area, and it is not easy to distinguish at night; the situation has improved greatly now, and it seems that he can let the enemy drink a drink Pot up.The long-range rocket launcher seems to be a weapon that Lieutenant General Chaguye, who was huddled in Tespur, has always been afraid of.If only the range is calculated, it is not difficult to conclude that half of his defense area is within the strike range of long-range rockets, if these weapons are deployed near the control line.In fact, the lieutenant general did not doubt that these weapons could even reach the outskirts of Tespur.

The Chinese have always used this advantage with restraint and did not exert its power in the depths. It seems that they are afraid of harming innocent people for political considerations. However, since they have Jabwa, it seems unreasonable not to use these weapons.

Chaguye, who had been an artilleryman for many years, knew exactly what such a threat meant, and it did shake his determination to send out tank troops and attack westward along the Bratmaputra River to solve the problem in one fell swoop.Of course, he also knew that every hour he delayed, the enemy's defense would be strengthened a lot, and eventually a sizable army might be assembled.Maybe in a week, they will take the initiative to attack Tespur.But he really didn't want to play his cards rashly and expose his housekeeping forces to the enemy's aerial firepower.

During that night, his view of the battle situation changed from overly optimistic to extremely negative.He even began to suspect that the Chinese Air Force has only carried out limited damage to the nearly [-]-kilometer railway from Siguri to Satya in the past few weeks, which is likely to contain a larger and longer-term conspiracy. Maybe they are still thinking about repairing and Take control of this railway line as a supply line into the interior of India - that is, they want to destroy India?This terrible thought lingered in his mind and could not get rid of it.He thought, if he can think of the group of people who fell from the sky in Jabuwa, what else can't be done?
Chaguye was able to be successfully promoted from the commander of the 2nd Mountain Division to the commander of the 4th Army and concurrently as the commander of the theater, not because of his qualifications or ability, but because he has no political reservations He turned to Singh, and was able to follow the will of the Ministry of National Defense to mobilize troops from Assam to Srinagar to attack Fort Fort. Now he is destined to take the blame for Singh.

The Lieutenant General originally thought that things would not be too complicated, and he could maintain a smaller "Pas Ader | Line of Defense" with limited troops.However, the Chinese suddenly fell from the sky not far to the east of Tespur, causing the entire defense to be attacked from the front and back, and it was in a mess.Although he still has an armored force in his hands, he has to wait for the air force to dispatch first. Maybe a blow from the air force can work?

"Commander, the headquarters of the 57th Division has been found. They have a battalion 40 kilometers east of Jabuwa. Do you want them to launch an attack?" the adjutant asked.

"No, let's wait for the air force to launch an attack first. Maybe we can regain the air supremacy in one fell swoop."

He can only hope for the emergency plan formulated by the Air Force. Soon, they will attack Jabwa Airport and the radars in China. If one of them succeeds, it will be a good thing for him.

Colonel Dabrini sat nervously in the cockpit of the Rafale fighter jet, waiting for the news of the 22nd Squadron taking off from High Hadir to launch a feint attack.

He could hear some information on the radio, but not quite.It was only an hour ago that he got the terrible news that the enemy had suddenly landed in the hinterland. He said that the Chinese army had actually occupied Jabwa Airport, and there may have been as many as 5000 people.

Although the plan to penetrate further north of the Line of Control and destroy that radar again had been drawn up 12 hours earlier, the attack seemed rushed without sufficient reconnaissance.He knew that since the Chinese were able to hold back for a few months and pretend that the radar was damaged, it meant that all operations were carried out step by step. If they attacked from the old way last time, they would probably hit the wall.When he first raided there a few months ago, it was largely undefended, and there was no chance of that happening again.

"Tiger Shark Squadron Leader, 22 Squadron has been dispatched. It is passing through the airspace of Bhutan."

"Tiger Shark understands."

The MiG-22 bombers of the 27nd Squadron headed directly towards the RKZ, almost to die.Now there are several J-10s carrying medium-range bombs hovering in the foothills of the Himalayas at any time to prevent Indian aircraft from sneaking attacks from the area between Bhutan and Nepal.The downward-looking and downward-shooting capabilities of these aircraft are not bad. It is not the same as the J-8II that patrolled on the line a few months ago, and it was difficult to find low-altitude aircraft.However, the plan itself is so cruel, and a group of death squads are needed to distract the enemy's attention. This is a very momentary and helpless move.

"Tiger Shark Squadron Leader, the Navy Squadron has launched a surprise attack on Jabwa Airport, and the enemy's deployment should be in chaos."

The person on the radio continued to add other content. Since the data links of these advanced aircraft were not compatible, he could not see the actions of his comrades-in-arms, he could only listen to them. The heavy fighter's attention draws past.

Colonel Dabrini re-checked the entire route on the navigation equipment, almost the entire low-altitude breakthrough, an attack with a near miss.The whole squadron will launch an uncoordinated attack from several different routes, and some fighters will launch Scap missiles at a longer distance for stand-off strikes.He has experienced the "power" of this legal stealth missile in Pakistan. At that time, they used this legal stand-off stealth weapon to attack Shamsi Airport from the sea. In the absence of GPS mid-course guidance, the missile's hit The rate was 0, and most of the missiles missed the designated path - the mouth of the Dasht River, and flew into Iran.Today's situation is more complicated and there is no room for loss, so after launching these missiles, the six assault aircraft of the squadron must still go deep into the target area and use laser-guided bombs to launch repeated strikes again to ensure destruction.

"Captain Tiger Shark, good news. The U.S. government has restored the GPS navigation information of the subcontinent 20 minutes ago. When firing weapons, be sure to switch to a new navigation method."

"Great, that's the best news I've ever heard."

The young principal let out a sigh of relief.Due to a problem with the GPS signal, before launching the integrated guided weapon, the GPS option in the navigation must be turned off, so as not to cause excessive errors to drag down the inertial navigation, which almost makes the advantages of China's Beidou system infinitely magnified.He didn't know what the Americans were thinking at the time. Maybe a Communist spy had emerged from among the decision-makers?In any case, things finally turned around.

他试着在导航控制面板上，将关闭的卫星导航系统重新开启，发现坐标终于变成了哈希马拉机场的准确位置：N26°45′ 17″E89°21′30″。这给他的低空突击又带来了几分胜算。

"22 Squadron has been spotted by the enemy, Tiger Shark Squadron is ready to take off."

On the runway, six Rafale fighter jets started to start, taking off file by file in the steaming hot air.

In the command center in China, the first round of counterattack by the Indian Air Force has been detected.The twelve aircraft over the entire theater had to deal with the Indian Air Force appearing from the west and south at the same time, and the atmosphere in the command center became tense for a while.They don't want any accidents to happen to the transportation that has just resumed.

"It's finally here." The commander stood up.

"Comrade commander, the Indian MiG-29 does not have the ability to attack outside the area, and the Air Force is still sure to defend the airport."

"The airport can be quickly repaired after being bombed. Be careful of their other actions." The commander said, obviously referring to the radar.However, for the time being, it is not clear that the enemy has any attempt to attack the radar.

Several J-11 fighter jets stranded in the sky above Jabuwa quickly went up to them and fired missiles first.The opponent immediately responded with a round of medium-range bombs. Judging from the fierce counterattack, it seemed that there was no bomb.

The enemy situation over Sikkim is simpler. The Indian Air Force did not dispatch Rafale fighters with superior performance, but let the old MiG-27UPG fighter-bombers take the lead. The attack seemed to be aimed at the RKZ area, and its intentions were difficult to guess.The J-10 formation seized a favorable position, stuck to the foothills and went west to intercept, and soon achieved results. One MiG-27 was shot down directly, and the other disappeared on the Doppler radar after a rapid descent. Maybe the speed has dropped to 0, and the comparison map seems to have hit a mountain.

Immediately, the second wave of fighters approaching from the direction of Glenburgh appeared on the screen. The radar identified them as MiG-27s, and they still wanted to drill into the ravine and fly north without hesitation.

"I really didn't look back after hitting Nanshan." Someone said.

"Maybe it's not that simple? All forward control line air defense systems are on high alert."

Taking advantage of the attention of the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and an early warning aircraft circling in the south of the mountain were attracted to the west area, six gusts flying at low altitude sneaked into their respective attack routes along the mountains, compared with the height of the first attack lower.

The Rafale fighter naturally has stronger terrain tracking and avoidance capabilities than the MiG 27, but the pilot still has to control his breathing and keep his eyes on the two approaching cliffs.A Chinese early warning aircraft not far away only has a scanning range of about 2°, and the flying height is not enough. In the process of moving westward, it was quickly blocked by the high mountains in Bhutan. The southern area slipped past.

The 2 Rafales carrying Scape EG missiles entered the weapon range north of North Rajinpur, and they were forced to pull up a little bit to meet the altitude conditions for terrain identification, although it was not harsh.But it is easy to be seen by the opponent's radar.

Sure enough, the warning equipment on a Rafale that was slightly lifted up sounded, which meant that the opponent's radar had seen a plane heading towards it, and the dizzy Chinese J-10 fighter jet would quickly turn around.However, the two missiles were successfully launched.When the colonel looked up, he could see 2 trails rising in the northeast direction. If they could hit them smoothly, the situation would become easier.If the enemy does not have the support of this radar, it will be difficult to take advantage of the Rafale.

A left-behind J-10 fighter jet quickly turned to the area where the suspicious radar signal was found. It looked down and found a missile in flight from the side and rear position, and saw the distant flashing trail with the naked eye.Since the radar detected the evading Rafale fighter at the same time, the fighter could not catch up with the missile, but the command plane immediately grasped this information.

The radar on the commanding heights of the front also quickly caught the turning missiles-they are always not too stealthy when turning, and their approximate route has been determined. Two pgz-2A 04mm self-propelled anti-aircraft combat vehicles are advancing along the way, and they will be deployed immediately after receiving the order.The location of the chariot is not ideal, it is only visible from two mountains, but the shooter can still use the TV tracking equipment to guard against a line of sky above the head, which is a predicted route that the enemy's cruise missiles may use.

Soon, the shooter saw a flashing missile in the optical equipment, but the search radar did not find the target, and the photoelectric system did not have time to complete a series of actions from tracking to ranging. In desperation, the shooter fired a missile , but failed to bite.Judging from the trail of condensation still in the air, the enemy's course was slightly different than predicted.
