Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 416: The Hard Bone

Xue Xiaoyan's company took the helicopter that had been waiting for a long time, set off from Dingsujia, crossed the silent, still smoking 307 Battalion, and then landed in the destroyed village area on the side of the road, and then occupied both sides of the road The deployment of the commanding heights is completed, and they will complete the task by cutting off the road.Further south from here, there are continuous hills, which belong to Nagaland State, which is close to Bangladesh. This is the southernmost support point that Lin Huaisheng expected. It seems to be a place where there is no major enemy situation. Slowly, there should have been no organized Indian troops in the entire Bangladesh-Myanmar border area.The drone reconnaissance also confirmed this view.

The war entered into a brief stalemate in the afternoon, Brigadier General Cambiakun's T90 tank was approaching rapidly in the mountainous area. The speed of this maneuver has exceeded the breakthrough speed of the White Tiger Division in the Suleiman Mountains when it attacked Quetta. It must be attributed to Pasad, the preparations made a long time ago for the Nagaland state where the separatist guerrillas existed. Most of these rough roads were built along the mountains. However, due to the poor maintenance of this road and the subsequent destruction by the guerrillas, many sections of the road have been impassable for trucks, but tracked vehicles with strong off-road capabilities can still pass (theoretically). The scale of the armored force, so no one has tried this kind of delivery.

The 4th Armored Brigade has always been different from the 33rd Armored Division (White Tiger Division). Although the White Tiger Division was the first to get the T90 tank, the 4th Brigade also got the T90 and BMP-3 tanks with better performance. car.Before India got the C17 transport plane, Singh deliberately built this unit into a mobile iron fist that can be dispatched at any time in any area of ​​the country to deal with enemy situations in any direction.Unfortunately, the Secretary of Defense's vision was immediately fulfilled.The sudden actions of the Chinese in the east obviously shocked most of the senior army officers, and some of them were even frightened. Only Brigadier General Kambiakun could not wait for it.

The 4th Brigade deployed the Eastern Command a few days before Jabwa was attacked. In fact, it was the Ministry of Defense's compensation for Chaguye's withdrawal of about 4 and a half divisions of mountain troops to the northern theater.Therefore, although the Chinese must have studied the entire force configuration of Tespur for a long time, they are unlikely to know the Indian-style wrangling between the military region and the Ministry of Defense, and this armored force should be exactly what they expected. outside.

Kambia Kun leaned half of his body out of the turret. The scorching sun has been thrown behind him by the bumpy tank. Now that he has run out of the protection of the Indian air defense system, the Chinese reconnaissance drone may slip over his head. Due to concerns about radar There was no anti-aircraft weapon accompanying this operation, but the opponent's drone did not appear for a long time.

The Chinese Air Force has not installed electronic interference in this area, so it can be seen that this is not an area of ​​their focus.Turning their heads in all directions in the dust raised by the convoy, the marching troops are merging from two columns into one to adapt to the increasingly narrow mountain roads, but the speed is maintained at a good rate.When he thought that this was the result of long-term and rigorous training, he couldn't help but feel complacent. He was sure that he would become the savior to save Assam and even the whole of India.There are two reasons; one is that this uneven road was obviously missed in the calculations of the Chinese. Although it only takes a precision-guided bomb to paralyze this mountain road for half a day, the bomb always Did not fall.In fact, these days, China has sabotaged all railways and roads and most of the bridges in the Assam region.

The second reason is that he is very convinced that China does not have transport aircraft that can transport main battle tanks.So even though the reconnaissance was not effective, he knew that what he would face was nothing more than a bunch of armored vehicles that were far inferior to main battle tanks in terms of firepower and armor.

"General, the headquarters sent a telegram: Sunset has already set in the Wendiya Mountains, and the God of Thunder is about to appear."

"very good."

It was clear to Bia Kun that the meaning of this sentence was a code word he had agreed with Chaguye, which meant that the plan was being implemented steadily without breaking the radio silence.

After he lost the logistics unit and a part of the technical support unit that could not keep up with the team, he has been in a rapid assault for 3 hours. So far, no enemy plane has appeared, and no combat vehicle has broken down. Things have gone smoothly beyond expectations. , it seems that Thunder Battle Formation is really standing in the sky watching this counterattack.

On a hill 2.5 kilometers east of Jabwa Airport, there are long and short whip antennas and disc-shaped satellite communication equipment.And Lin Huaisheng's new headquarters is at the foot of the mountain.Not far from the headquarters, a warning radar rotates its antenna quickly and silently, and a nearby mobile air defense system also occasionally rotates its follow-up launcher. Stare at the target in the sky.Lin Huaisheng has already obtained two battalions of air defense systems, and the size of the ground forces is still expanding rapidly. The newly arrived truck howitzer units are gathering near the airport. These weapons have not been what Lin Huaisheng really wanted. He wanted some Tracked self-propelled artillery with a larger caliber, but after fully considering the logistics and transportation capacity, it was finally recognized that this wheeled support firepower is more reasonable. So far, all the support firepower Lin Huaisheng has mastered is composed of 2mm caliber artillery. Both distance and power are lost to the Indian Army equipped with FH122 howitzers, but mobility has some upper hand.

The chief of staff has been keeping a close eye on the enemy convoy coming aggressively from the highway. After the enemy left Tespur, they stretched their marching formation to 100 kilometers. The air force has been trying to attack the sparse enemy convoy, but the latest 102 The Su-2MKI fighters of the squadron and the 30nd squadron opened up a narrow corridor for this force. According to the investigation of the intelligence department, these two squadrons suffered very little loss in the battle against Pakistan and preserved most of their strength.

"Chief of Staff, Command Satellite Communications."

Someone handed Lin Huaisheng a printed newspaper, and he took a look at it.Xu Jingzhe reminded him that the enemy attacking from the front was just a bluff, and a part of helicopters and reserve troops had to flow out, so as to prepare for a highly maneuverable enemy force to launch a counterattack from an unexpected direction.But the possible direction of the enemy's main attack is not written.

"The old man has become nervous recently?" Lin Huaisheng said to himself.He felt that Xu Jingzhe must have concealed some new source of information, because he was able to grasp every move of Tispur very accurately, although he himself could also see from the enemy's sloppy marching formation that this was not an army. The troops who came to fight in earnest could only establish a line of defense at best, but Xu Jingzhe obviously knew more details.

"The old man may have... an internal response in Tespur." Lao Ding continued.

"I don't think it's possible. In this situation, it's not easy to send out information." He shook his head, "By the way, speaking of the enemy's mobile troops, what's the situation with the Indian-Tibetan special forces? Are they still gathering in place? "

"Yes, six hours ago, they quickly assembled to the designated area north of Yingqiong, but they have been standing still. The headquarters is planning to annihilate them on the spot."

"Lausanne, old dog, didn't move?" Lin Huaisheng was still pondering some questions, "Then there must be a mobile force moving. How about Tespur's 4th Armored Brigade?"

"It's still in place. This is a satellite photo from 40 minutes ago. Its main group has moved to a new assembly point." Lao Ding said and handed a photo to Lin Huaisheng.Lin Huaisheng put his head in front of the photo and looked at it for a long time. He used to be a staff officer who spent all day studying the photos on the table, but he couldn't see any flaws.There are a large number of repair and maintenance oil vehicles in the photo, which do not seem to be ordinary false targets. According to his experience, there are very few logistics support vehicles among the false targets. The reason is very simple. Therefore, false targets are usually tanks or anti-aircraft missiles, which can quickly arouse the interest of the enemy.

"How far has it moved from the last position?"

"About 2500 meters."

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a fake, but the location of the shooting is not very good, so it can't be judged yet."

"Our satellites repeatedly pass the time, they are very clear, but to use this opportunity to mobilize an army, at least there must be a destination. All road bridges that can pass tanks in front of the enemy have been destroyed by the air force."

Lin Huaisheng hesitated for a moment, and then put the matter behind him. After all, the main force of the 4th Armored Brigade was still in place.

"By the way, you just said that the headquarters made the determination to annihilate Lausanne's troops?"

"Yes, in my memory, this stubborn enemy has never been assembled in such a complete way in the past few decades, so this opportunity is rare. If it cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, there will be endless troubles."

What Lao Ding said is true. This is the last seed of the rebel armed forces more than 60 years ago. If the roots cannot be cut off, it will inevitably continue to breed and cause disaster.

"Yeah, it's indeed the best opportunity in 60 years, but only relying on Snow Wolf and Mountain Eagle?"

"The plan has not been formulated yet. Currently, some groups of Snow Wolf are approaching the enemy for reconnaissance. When the time is right, they will guide the air force to attack."

"Wang Tiechuan, I am very relieved. The special forces of the military region are not a fuel-efficient lamp, but even if they can form a joint venture, the number is not enough. The Indian-Tibetan special forces are not a bone to chew on."

After a thrilling day, the night finally began to slowly cover the Yarlung Zangbo River in East Sion.One after another, Mi-17 helicopters brushed the afterglow of the setting sun and flew slowly on the side of the ridge. In order to avoid the downward-looking search of the Chinese Air Force, they could only take such a risky action at such a low altitude. The purpose is to make the opponent's radar Not easy to identify.

Although the Indian troops have deployed anti-aircraft guns and short-range anti-aircraft missiles on all the hills near Yingqiong, and the fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force actually do not have time to give priority to pursuing these low-altitude and low-speed targets, but under tremendous pressure, there are still two A helicopter of the 2st Hover Angel Squadron crashed into a hill during a daytime maneuver.

During the whole day, Lobsang Gyatso has been hiding in the cave and commanding the assembly of the entire army. He has been given the task of expulsing the CCP army from the stronghold along the Yarlung Zangbo River, but he found that the enemy did not take advantage of this winding low altitude during the whole day. Passage into Assam, it can be seen that these strongholds have little military significance.Lausanne must suppress his inner fear well in front of his subordinates. The next few days will be the most critical moment to determine the fate of himself and this army. If India loses the war, it may lose several states, but if this army Lose the war and all hope vanishes.

As the most powerful mobile force in Chaguye's hands, he now holds 3 reinforced battalions and the strength of the attached troops, and he can quickly enter the battle in any direction at any time, but Tispur did not put him in the first place. Transferred to Jabuwa to fight the fire and ultimately missed the opportunity.Now it is conservatively estimated that Jabuwa’s CCP army has a brigade or more in size, and has strong maneuverability and firepower. Now it is undoubtedly a moth to the fire to invest in light infantry.Although all the soldiers are eager to join the battle, to see if it is too late to remedy the huge flaw behind the front line, Lausanne knows that it is best not to move for the time being.

"Commander, the CCP has completely cut off our retreat. Before the front collapses, we should plan early anyway." Adjutant Dorje Tsering said.

"What else can we do? Back to Tespur? Or West Bengal? I'd rather die here."

Lausanne downed a glass of brandy in one gulp, and slammed the glass heavily on the ammunition box covered with maps.

"The CCP will never show mercy to us, it's just that it hasn't focused on it yet, so I think..."

"Report." A soldier came over from the communication group and interrupted the adjutant. "I just listened to the call of a small infantry radio station nearby. It was judged to be a short-range call from the Chinese secret team. The call was short and dense, and it was impossible to turn sideways."

"Hehe, in the past 60 years, their attention has never left us." Luosang said to Duoji with a sneer.

"Could it be that they want to eat us now?" Dorje became a little terrified.

"It's nothing more than those reconnaissance troops who want to swallow me up. I'm sorry they don't have the guts."
