Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 415 Terrifying Fireball
300 kilometers away, the 400mm rocket launcher positions have already been fixed and aimed at the target. It sounds a little strange, but these weapons are indeed farther than many tactical missiles.Of course, shooting at such a huge distance will inevitably produce a large spread, which is a problem that the headquarters needs to consider.If the civilian casualties were not feared, the matter could have been much simpler, but the superior still did not want the artillery fire to fall into the village.This kind of restraint makes shooting extremely difficult. The calculation of the fire coverage area and shooting timing must be more accurate. After all, the target is moving very fast in the open field, and the flight process of the rocket is not a negligible thing. time.In the end, Lin Huaisheng suggested that the command post delineate the shooting area near an unnamed seasonal river on the map, and he expected that the opponent would slow down when crossing the river.

The final order from the headquarters came, and in a blink of an eye, the mountains shook and the ground shook, and 6 launch vehicles fired 36 rockets in two batches.Huge flames spewed out continuously from the launcher, roaring and burning through the sky, flying into the distance.During the long flight of about 4 minutes, these rockets will use strapdown inertial navigation and satellite guidance for ballistic correction, and the accuracy is higher than that of some older ballistic missiles.

The 307th Battalion of the Indian Army was being blocked by a river bed. The vehicles and the crowd suddenly huddled together. Some people began to take off their shoes and prepared to wade through the mud. The tanks sprayed black smoke and slowed down the steep river bank. Under the buffer, for a while, the entire chaotic team completely lost its formation.

Battalion Commander Batimo stood on the armored vehicle and looked ahead with binoculars. He saw that the Chinese army that had been confronting him suddenly retreated together, as if he was frightened by his own momentum.

"Look at this group of scumbags who ran away without firing a single shot. How did they capture Jabuwa?" He was a little surprised. After all, the Chinese army in front of him only took a few shots and did not return fire.

"A company, you move faster, the enemy is retreating, and you are stuck in the mud."

The battalion commander was a little angry, the speed of the troops was too slow, most of them wanted to get on the armored vehicles and cross the river bed without getting their feet wet, some even wanted to climb onto his command vehicle, and some people crossed the river carefully with their shoes and socks , obviously you have to wear it again after crossing the river.Seeing that the enemy is retreating, the soldiers have no aggressiveness.

"The gunner fires at will, don't let the enemy run away so comfortably."

Xue Xiaoyan's hasty retreat was actually an order from his superiors. The meteorological reconnaissance cannot cover such a large area, so the accuracy of the rocket projectile input cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the damage range of the new ammunition in this situation is also confusing. So the superior asked the unit to quickly retreat 600 meters to the back of the buildings in the town.

Xue Xiaoyan was a little puzzled, the higher-ups just asked him to lead a company to run around, but no one told him that part of the strike ammunition that was about to fall was a new type of cloud bomb, and the killing range was likely to be out of control.When his troops were retreating, the Indian infantry fighting vehicles in the distance fired some hastily, and the low-pressure 73mm artillery shells whizzed past, and then fell in the distance and burst out some steel ball fragments, which were simply hit. Too far, no one was hurt.Since there is no two-way stabilization system, the gun of the BMP-1 is not accurate even at the lowest speed.

"You guys are so slow," he yelled into the radio as he watched a wheeled tank from Company A, belching black smoke, idling in the mud.

The clouds in the east suddenly began to emit flashes of light, and the battalion commander who was looking out of the turret turned his face away.He saw a series of dazzling lights on the edge of the sun, which seemed to fly out of the sun.The battalion commander didn't want to understand what was going on, but still subconsciously got into the turret, and then closed the hatch.

In a blink of an eye, a huge fireball fell from the sky, and the huge explosion instantly enveloped an area of ​​several square kilometers.The killing/armour-piercing shrapnel flying horizontally after the explosion of the submunition can easily penetrate the BMP-1 tank, and the soldiers exposed outside the tank are even more vulnerable.High-explosive ammunition exploded one after another, and piles of soldiers were blown up like torn clothes.On the contrary, some of the soldiers who got stuck in the mud of the river ditch, although their mouths and noses were bleeding due to the explosion pressure, most of them escaped the flying fragments by chance.But the second wave of attacks that followed made it difficult for all exposed personnel to escape.

This is a series of huge fireballs exploding in the air. Different from ordinary high-explosive warheads, it emits lengthy and dazzling flames.Where the scorching air flow went, the soldiers' hair, clothes and even skin began to burn, followed by terrible suffocation, even if someone got into the mud, it was hard to escape.

Xue Xiaoyan, who was trotting all the way, also ran a few steps slower. After the explosion, he choked on a mouthful of hot air. He turned a corner, and through this breath, he would not be suffocated to death.

The coverage of this terrifying attack was somewhat beyond expectations. From the starting village of the 307th Battalion to Dingsujia Town, where Xue Xiaoyan stood firm, they were all damaged to varying degrees. Tragically overwhelmed by the appalling firepower, the unit was without a doubt wiped out.For a long time after the explosion, no one stood on the scorched earth, and all the wreckage of the chariot was burning, some burning into the night of this day.

A supply unit of the 307th Division, which was operating with the 57th Battalion, stayed on the road. They were not injured, but they watched a huge fireball soaring into the sky, like the sun falling to the ground.

A soldier of the unit wrote in horror on a piece of paper he grabbed at random: "Mom, the Chinese have used the atomic bomb crazily. Unfortunately, I saw the explosion at close range and believe that I have been radiated; I think I won't survive tonight. I really hate myself for not following your advice and joining the army blindly, and now I regret it to death."

Some other Indian soldiers who were blown by the scorching air wave were also terrified, thinking that they had received a lethal dose of nuclear radiation at close range. The army completely lost command and began to throw away their equipment and run around. Some simply sat on the ground wait to die.

Lin Huaisheng sat in the headquarters and watched the scene end.The chaotic chariots were still burning, and a large number of soldiers fell on the ground, and they were also burning. This was something he had never seen before.The shooting error this time is really a bit big, but the killing effect is still so amazing, it is really unexpected.

"Let the helicopter land at the Dingsujia landing field, take the reconnaissance company directly across the battlefield, and directly occupy the rear road."

"They still have a convoy of trucks there, in case the enemy still resists?"

"There will be no resistance. Those soldiers have left their vehicles and fled. They went directly to the designated location to cut off the road."

Lin Huaisheng has experienced more wars than anyone else here, so he knows when an army has collapsed.

Lieutenant General Chaguye of Tespur did not know that he had a battalion of troops, and the entire army had been wiped out recently. Of course, a mere battalion was not worth his attention. The 4th Armored Brigade, assigned to him, moved silently to the enemy's flank and launched an attack.Although he has already found a secret passage in the mountainous area of ​​Nagaland State, but now he dare not make a guarantee on this matter.He is very clear that the Ministry of National Defense and the Army Staff are urgently looking for the next victim after Pasade to take the blame for them, and most of the eyes are focused on himself, so at this moment, he must not talk too much .

The current situation puts the lieutenant general in a dilemma. The Ministry of National Defense hopes that he can quickly mobilize as many mobile troops as possible to wipe out the enemy who invaded the rear at once.However, Chaguye naturally disliked this kind of method of digging flesh to mend sores; obviously, the enemy dared to make such a move in such a hinterland, which shows that the various evolutions of their situation must be better than the impatient Ministry of National Defense. The planning is more far-reaching.And drawing troops from the north is tantamount to dismantling the frontal defense on its own, and it should be within the enemy's calculations.Any lack of calm action will lead to a total collapse.

Now the lieutenant general's main expectation is on the 4th Armored Brigade. In fact, this brigade was transported here by C17 transport plane less than a week ago. Maybe it can directly hit the enemy's weakness. He knows that the Chinese cannot transport heavy armored troops by air. This card is indeed worth looking forward to.

Before the 4th brigade set off, the lieutenant general had already called the brigade commander and the officers below him, hoping that they could quickly rush 200 kilometers under the condition of complete radio silence, and catch the arrogant enemy by surprise.

Brigadier General Kambiakun, the commander of the 4th Brigade, told Chaguye boldly that his troops have always been good at long-distance offensives and have undergone severe tests in the battle to break through the Thar Desert. any questions.The only request Brigadier General Kambiakun made to the command was that his troops be allowed to receive only enemy dead bodies, not prisoners.He said that the 4th Brigade has only three main tasks: the first is annihilation, the second is annihilation, and the third is annihilation.

Of course, Chaguye felt that the brigadier general's strong speech was not very credible, so the lieutenant general left two other hands, one is to let one of his engineers deploy a batch of fake tanks around Tespur, Save it for your opponent's satellites.The second is to send several mechanized infantry regiments of the 4th Army defending Tespur, advancing along the road all the way to the edge of the defense area of ​​the S300 system, so as to create the illusion of a large force attacking along kilometers, so as to distract the opponent from the flank He knew that it would be risky to play such a move under the eyes of an opponent who has the power to control electromagnetic power, but he had no choice but to give it a try.

In the Chinese command headquarters thousands of kilometers away, Xu Jingzhe immediately understood part of Chaguye's conspiracy. Chaguye and his feigned attacking troops used radio communication without any scruples, forming a defensive distance between the forward distance and the troops. Each area has been agreed in detail.Depending on the situation, they will stop at least 70 kilometers away from Jabwa, which means that the attack is just a fake.But behind this move, if there are other tricks, he can't find out clearly.The intelligence department does have several internal responses in Tespur, but the Indians may have been reminded by Western countries, and suddenly used simple jamming technology in the morning to block satellite phone communications in a large area, hindering some of his intelligence transmission .He was also very worried about the Indian 4th Armored Brigade. The drastic change in the weather in Medog prevented the heavy armed helicopters from flying over the Duoxiongla Pass after 18 hours of attack, which meant that they could not form an asymmetric advantage over the enemy's tanks.Another serious situation is that the Indian Ministry of Defense is discussing how to transport about 12 Apache gunships that have just arrived and have not yet formed an army into Tespur. This matter was overheard by the Pakistani intelligence agency and cannot be confirmed. True or false, but he absolutely dare not neglect.Early intelligence suggests that India will somehow find a contingent of mercenaries internationally to join the Apache squadron to improve the overall tactical capabilities of this still-under-trained force It will definitely bring great trouble to Lin Huaisheng, because Lin has almost no equivalent weapons.
