Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 515 Thunderous Punishment
Prime Minister Kahan, who had been silently listening to everyone's speech, suddenly became furious. He couldn't believe that those bereaved dogs who had just been driven to Peshawar by him dared to think about the territory of India.His clenched fist seemed to be about to hit the table. Everyone was a little nervous when they saw the veins on his head. It was only two weeks since his last stroke.But after a few seconds, he calmed down on his own and did not have an attack.For Kahan, the counterattack plan to be discussed tonight is the most important.

"Counterattack" is the only topic that Prime Minister Kahan can quickly relieve his nerves in the daily anxiety. He knew in advance that the Ministry of Defense gave this counterattack a code name of "Thunder Punishment", which has great symbolic meaning. Obvious and relevant, so now is not the time to be angry about those villains.

Seeing that the Prime Minister had calmed down, Charmain continued to speak.

"The U.S. believes that we should use our strength and terrain advantages to resist successively, and then when the enemy's first-stage invasion weakens, we should choose an area that is beneficial to us and launch a decisive battle to curb the overall decline. "

"Well, it seems to coincide with our plan." Singer said with a proud smile.The other officials present were terrified. Obviously, Chandra's trip to BJ was probably a tactic of arrogance before the battle, making the opponent think that India was going to choose to surrender, but in fact, the door to the truce was never really opened.

"I don't doubt that we can win the war, but against Pakistan," Chandra interjected, "I don't think there is any chance of winning against the new Chinese offensive. You don't find that even the intelligence of the United States, It’s also vague how much troops China can put in? Maybe they’ll put in more than you think.”

"Your problem is that you always imagine the enemy too strong." Singer immediately retorted.

"I don't care how strong the enemy is. I just noticed that the war you led has been losing troops." The foreign minister immediately retorted.

"Don't talk about it, have you forgotten that the Mahatma said: Unity is the only way for the Indian people to disintegrate oppression?"

The prime minister finally spoke up and brought the scene under control. Singh was even a little moved, not because the prime minister scolded him, but because Kahan seemed to have regained a little anger.In the past few days when Chandra was away, the regular meetings were always dead. At yesterday’s meeting, the prime minister didn’t even say a word about the small-scale guerrilla warfare in Assam. Now that the largest surrender group has returned, the situation It turned out to be better.

"The United States believes that China's strategy in the Assam region is quite pragmatic," Chamain continued, "indicating that they are afraid of guerrilla warfare in the mountains and should withdraw from the south of the Brahmaputra next year. .Apparently, the intelligence analysis of the Americans has added some wishful thinking, such as their own fear of security warfare."

"But in the north, the CCP's offensive will have a climax. It has already grasped its first-stage campaign purpose, to divide and encircle the main force of the Northern Group, and further strategic purpose..." He stopped here.

"Do you want to overthrow our democratically elected government?" Singer asked, blinking.

"Yes. Of course this is only the conclusion of the CIA."

"They really want to be the enemy of the entire free world." The Prime Minister shook his head contemptuously, and he always seemed more fearless in the face of heavy pressure. "Looking back at history, democracies will always encounter some setbacks in the early stages of war, but When the people recall the preciousness of freedom, they will inevitably burst into a powerful force of resistance."

Chandra rolled his eyes. He felt that when the Prime Minister talked about freedom without shame, he should first review who started this damn war. The people did not elect him to power for this day.

After Charman finished his speech and sat down, Singer got up and looked around. To the participants, this kind of condescending and confident gaze seemed to be familiar. It was like this every time he explained a new offensive. Of course, after August he instigated All attacks failed.

"Please allow me to explain the latest campaign plan to you. The code name of the plan is tentatively named 'Thunder Counterattack'." He nodded to the distance, and the lights in the conference room immediately dimmed. One of Singer's favorite things was being able to explain the war in front of a large group of civilian officials.

"I have something to say first, this is a top secret, and you are not allowed to disclose it to the outside world." After he finished speaking, he took a special look at Chandra.

In the headquarters in Sichuan, China, Xu Jingzhe has just obtained the code name of India's current combat plan. It does not seem to be a blind defense plan, but other information has not yet been obtained.Since the Ministry of Home Affairs of India cracked an important case in which one of Kahan's secretaries sold intelligence to the West, the intelligence department of the General Staff was unable to intercept first-hand Indian high-level news from Western channels in the first place.For the time being, we can only overhear some clues from the radio when the enemy starts to deploy to the front line. However, intercepting the radio station at the battalion level is only a glimpse of the leopard. It is difficult to understand the enemy's overall intentions. Mastered.

At this moment, Xu Jingzhe was eager for Lin Huaisheng to come back to participate in the intelligence analysis, but the situation in Lausanne was really tricky, and it was directly related to the future self-made road map of the area, and Lin was an expert in the study of Lausanne, so it would be impossible without him there.

"Director, the name of the 'Thunder Punishment' plan is too strange. It's not like a pure defense, but more like an offense." An analyst said.

"Well, it really looks like a plan to use an attack to disrupt our offensive, but guessing the name is not enough."

"After the CIA intervened, it was difficult for us to intercept important information over the radio. They obviously raised the level of communication secrecy." Someone complained.It is true that India's monitoring force has reached a record number, but compared with the Jabwa campaign, the useful information that can be obtained has decreased, and the enemy's communications have become more restrained and disciplined. The complete underground cable facilities in Kashmir are inseparable.

"I think we can advance our offensive." Xu Jingzhe seemed to have thought of a way.

"Advance our offensive?"

"Yes, raise the tactical bombing to the battle level in advance, and paralyze the entire shallow and near jumping area, and the underground light communication facilities we have mastered, so that the enemy will be forced to deploy their plans by radio."

"However, even so, it is difficult to destroy all channels. The communication centers and nodes around Srinagar have a high degree of redundancy, at least 7500 kilometers of fiber optic channels, and old-fashioned cable communication facilities that still function. Most of the key nodes are deep underground. It still has the ability to send orders to division level units through non-radio means."

"It's up to you. You can't expect the enemy to leave you with ready-made information. Finding the key points from the trivial, and using the details to piece together the whole, is the true skill of bayonets."

"However, this will inevitably expose the scale of the battle in advance."

"Well, let me go to the chief. The American satellites are in the sky. In fact, as long as they are not stupid, it is not difficult to guess the scale and time of the general attack. I think the superiors will weigh the interests. If they can grasp the enemy's strategy before the war is obvious more important."

Zheng Hui sat on duty at the airport and waited until the temporary order was issued. The ground crews were busy dragging away the original satellite-guided munitions, and the electric vehicle pulled a huge laser-guided bomb, which was used to attack the underground commander of Tespur not long ago. Zheng Hui guessed that the Russian-made KAB1500 model in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be another Indian general who is so annoying to the extreme.Obviously, the task of easily dropping satellite-guided bombs has changed. This kind of giant bomb cannot be thrown outside the area. It must break through the enemy's air defense network, and it is the S300 system again.He has already experienced the S300 in Assam, and he has been tracked by the fire control radar several times. The electronic warfare equipment onboard is not very effective unless the distance is very far; but the situation on the western front is better than that time, China India's conventional electronic combat experience has been greatly enhanced. India's conventional frequency agility radar has not changed much, and it is already difficult to counter electronic jamming. The level of the .30060.00% firepower channel has made great progress.

Of course, the enhancement of soft-kill capabilities is only one of them. In view of the problems exposed in previous operations, the range and power of anti-radiation missiles improved by air-to-air missiles are insufficient. This type of missile cannot be carried by an escort formation composed of medium-sized aircraft, which will hinder their flexibility. It must be carried by a J-91 or J-16 fighter jet in the formation and launched outside the area, as a countermeasure against long-range ground-to-air systems. Necessary supplement.

"Eagle, the sparrow is ready and ready to take off at any time."

"Sparrow, please wait a moment, other formations are still being prepared." The radio station replied.

"clear."

He patiently continued to wait. It is said that the Eagle 91 needs to be replaced with a more targeted seeker before it is mounted to adapt to the S300 system with a large frequency band change. , the more dexterous and advanced anti-radiation missiles are correspondingly worse; of course, this is just a legend.

Zheng Hui has heard Song Ning's voice on the formation channel several times. At that time, he was out of visual distance so that he didn't see it. However, he knew Song Ning's current call sign, and this guy always liked to fight when he was in battle. Pulling a few English words seems to be a fault left over from the joint mission with the Pakistan Air Force.Will today's mission meet him?
"Sparrow, the superior asked me to inform you that the escort of the second stage will be taken over by the formation called Vulture."

"The lead plane is Song Ning?" The early warning plane was in the same unit as him, and the personnel on it were all acquaintances, so he spoke bluntly.

"Yes, it's him."

"How is the current enemy situation?"

"Eagle Squadron has withdrawn from the front line and is currently resting in Bareilly, but it has replaced a cutting-edge Trident Squadron. Using naval MiG-29UBK fighter jets, close combat is even more difficult. It is currently the second strongest squadron in the Indian Air Force."

"Can it be stronger than the gust?" Zheng Hui slightly dismissed it. He heard that the Trident was going to be deployed when he was fighting in Assam, but in the end it was the gust of the Tiger Shark Squadron and the same model of the Indian Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit. The MiG 29 did not meet the so-called second strongest Trident.

"Speaking of gusts, the enemy's second gust squadron is being formed, and you will have a desperate battle in the future."

"Hehe, if we continue to work hard like this, maybe next year there will be no Indian Air Force."

"From now on, every time you shoot down an enemy plane, you can see the enemy air force getting smaller."

After a chat, the formation obtained permission to take off, and then three heavy J-3 fighters took off one by one.This time, the task of directly attacking the communication command center of Srinagar was issued very suddenly. In addition to the two stages of escort, there were also jammers and early warning aircrafts outside the area. The actions are methodical and quite organized.

Even in the first half of the year, Air Force commanders could only marvel at the highly complex emergency mission capabilities of the US military.However, China's air transport has grown rapidly through the tempering of this war, and is now able to carry out quite complex emergencies.

The fighter plane crossed the Taklamakan Desert and flew towards Karakoram. The enemy could not monitor this part of the voyage and could calmly join the rest of the formation.Then several formations crossed the border together and entered the enemy's territory. This section of the flight required some mountain cover, and the next section had to break through the air defense circle south of Leh. Without electronic jammers, it was almost impossible to cross.

The electronic warfare aircraft outside the area quickly detected the position of the enemy's radar and launched the first round of interference. The enemy's long-range radar was immediately paralyzed. However, being able to detect the presence of electronic jamming aircraft outside the area was enough to warn the enemy that a large-scale air strike was approaching. .Srinagar immediately sounded the shorting alarm.

The equipment of the Indian radar force is aging, and the personnel's resilience is not very strong, and it quickly lost its ability to parry.On the electronic map in front of Meneam, the paralyzed radars became red dots flashing one by one. In terms of timing, jammers outside China's area also face the problem of terrain shielding, and many radars in valleys are beyond their reach.The terrain of the Kashmir region is doomed that both sides will face complex offensive and defensive transitions.

This time, the enemy's fighter formation did not drop satellite-guided weapons north of the formation, and apparently did not return. General Meneam had reason to believe that this was an attack on an important target. Of course, the so-called important target was most likely him. Own.
