Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 532 The First Attack

A low-drag bomb with an unremarkable appearance quietly fell from the clouds.It flew after a pool of laser spots on the ground. In fact, such aiming was a bit redundant. First of all, it would not directly hit the target, but explode in the air.Secondly, it has a large range of action and does not require precise aiming. The fighter in charge of indicating the target just points the laser at an open space behind the truck.

This magical bomb does not rely on the warhead to damage the enemy. Although it also has a charge, it is only used as a "dynamite generator" to detonate the instantaneous current on the coil.Since the Chinese army has never used this weapon, before it detonated, there was no perceptual understanding of its fratricide range.

The death squads in Lausanne were blinded by the seven or eight searchlights that suddenly turned on. Obviously, their opponents had a showdown, so they simply closed their eyes and bumped into them with their heads covered.The truck cab and engine were reinforced with steel plates to withstand machine gun fire, while the several tons of explosives behind were wrapped in various fragments and were in a state of being triggered at any moment. In must win.

Less than 0.01 second after the airborne EMP was detonated, the low explosion sound it made had not yet reached anyone's ears. All the searchlights on the wall went out together, and the two trucks were detonated at about the same time. At that time, the death squad had just increased the speed of the car, and it was still far from close enough to destroy the separation wall.

EMP destroys electronic equipment at the speed of light, and can also detonate ready-to-fire ammunition that has been attached to an electronic fuze.The four snipers on the wall just aimed at the enemy with their searchlights. While the huge fireball was rising, they were pushed back by the air wave among the debris flying in the sky. Unfortunately, two of them were hit by iron nails Hanging paint, and everyone's protective clothing is scratched, which is a very serious potential injury, and no one knows whether the air will contain high-radiation dust.

In fact, no one told them in advance that an electromagnetic pulse bomb would fall. Just as they were about to shoot the driver and destroy the engine of the truck according to the predetermined plan, the target exploded 60 meters away.The defense plan that Lin Huaisheng formulated in a hurry was rather chaotic. Different units went into battle at the same time and complemented each other, but they were far from coordinated.And this kind of combat style using electromagnetic pulse bombs, no one has experience, let alone a suspected nuclear bomb mixed in.

Lin Huaisheng stood on a mound of soil more than [-] kilometers away, held up the binoculars, and watched the mushroom cloud rise slowly in the distance. Judging from the scale of the explosion, it didn't look like a successful nuclear explosion, but it was hard to say whether it was a dirty bomb .He did not dodge anything, and insisted on not wearing protective clothing. Instead, he turned around and asked about the situation at the scene. Means of communication were paralyzed, including cable telephones and radio equipment, which was unexpected.

"Chief of Staff, all equipment is down and calls are not answered."

"Hehe, this thing is exactly as I expected," he said pretending to be calm, "Hurry up and send the communicators to the radio station, and go to the scene to ask about the situation. The key is what exactly exploded?" Lin Huaisheng said to the side The correspondent ordered.He has never lost his freedom of communication since the war began.Now he has to rely on the communicators like the Indian commander. Fortunately, in his direct communication unit, there is always a motorcycle squad on standby.

"Send the communication battalion to repair the equipment, and at the same time take the trolley to re-stretch a telephone line. After the electricity is connected, send the detection drone to detect the radioactive substances in the air. I want exact information."

"Yes."

"How about the Air Defense Command? Has it been affected too much?"

"Most of them have been called through, but several positions in the north are still calling, and there is no reply for the time being."

For a moment, several people turned around at the same time to convey the order, leaving Lin Huaisheng pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot.

"What's the matter? Didn't it mean that it can be used more accurately, and the effective distance is only 2 kilometers?" Lin said to himself.

"I just said, this kind of indiscriminate attack should be used with caution?"

Ding Keguang shook his head and said, it sounds like an afterthought.But in fact, he is in a better mood than Lin Huaisheng. In any case, the stone that has been blocking his heart has fallen to the ground. He has never carefully considered that the enemy will use the tactics of attacking east and west. In his opinion, everything is over. What needs to be clarified now is Whether the party has suffered casualties, and how big the contaminated area is.

"I'm still worried. Old Ding, go to the Air Defense Battalion and keep an eye on it to prevent the second wave of the enemy."

"Is this... necessary?"

When the snow wolf snipers held back the burning pain and slowly poked their heads out from behind the separation wall, they could no longer sense anything. Not only the searchlights were off, but also the night vision devices failed. Also, no matter how you tap it, it is in the off state.Their protective suits were scratched and they couldn't isolate the choking air. They knew what this meant, but they couldn't care less. First, they had to determine what kind of attack it was.However, the radiation detectors carried by the soldiers stopped working, and all communications with the rear were interrupted. The chaos caused by the EMP seems to be many times larger than the opponent's bomb itself.

The helicopter in the air was also severely disturbed by the bomb it threw. When the bomb exploded, it had no time to dodge far away like a jet, and it received the pulse wave immediately. It was the sudden change in engine power, and it seemed that there was a problem with the oil circuit control, but fortunately, it did not stop.

Seeing that he could not fly back, the pilot calmly controlled the collective pitch lever to prevent the helicopter from spinning around and losing the last lift.Finally, he landed the helicopter in a bush in the dark. The landing was a bit embarrassing, and the landing gear and rotor were seriously damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but no matter how much he called for rescue, there was no answer.Of course, at the same time, the spies of the Indian-Tibetan Special Forces, who were hiding 3 kilometers away and waiting for the tip-off, also found that their radio station was unable to send messages.

In the lower reaches of the Brahmaputra River, thick fog began to gradually permeate the river.Luosang Jiacuo, who was hidden in the jungle runoff, had not waited for the news of whether the attack from other directions had started as planned, but the fog on the river appeared in time, which made him elated. In his plan, with this Fog, the plan has already succeeded by [-]%.

He restrained his excitement and walked quickly to the deck. The people around him had gathered in twos and threes, pointing at the mysterious dense fog in the distance, and their joy was beyond words.It seems that God has fulfilled what he can do, and the next step is up to him.

"Brothers, I said that the god of heaven will not disappoint the sincerity that I have waited for decades, you see," he pointed with a distant hand, "he gave us the sharp weapon of revenge in time, and we can hide under his wings , to win the final victory."

"We've waited too long and we want revenge."

"Yes, to avenge the dead brothers."

Lausanne looked at his watch, it was a quarter to two o'clock in the morning.

"Very well, all of them are at their respective combat positions, and we'll set off now."

Amidst the frenzied clamor, someone untied the cable, and then the diesel engine was started. When white smoke burst out from the chimney, the ship began to slowly go upstream and head towards the target. According to Lausanne's plan, they After 4 to 5 hours, it will quietly arrive under the nose of the enemy. According to the reconnaissance, it is the busiest time of the day for the enemy. Everyone is exposed to the open space, although the explosion on the river limits the power, but even so, it is worth it.

Lausanne has the most complete channel map and hydrological data of the river, and the map collected by the Indian Ministry of Defense clearly draws the hidden sandbars and shoals in the river.In order to confuse the Indian government, Lausanne almost extorted the terrain map of the entire Assam region from Lujadna Khan, in case Singh behind the scenes could see through his intentions. The armed forces have been infiltrated by Chinese intelligence, leading to leaks of plans.During the fierce battle of Assam, he noticed that the enemy's actions seemed very organized and strange, so his troops seldom used the encryption machines provided by the Indians.Since the implementation of the plan, only people in the inner circle have known about it, and it is absolutely impossible to leak it out.

Now is the dry season of this river, the amount of water coming down from the upper reaches is not large, and the navigation is relatively simple. The only problem is that it is easy to run aground in some shallow water areas in heavy fog, so you must carefully check the map.

The ship has been modified to a certain extent, and two 2mm machine guns have been added to the rear, in order to prevent enemy helicopters from searching in the air.Above the hull, there is also an asbestos covering sandwiched with foam to avoid infrared detection by opponents.In addition to the thick cover to prevent the leakage of heat sources, the engine compartment also has special personnel responsible for cooling the machine.The detonation button for detonating the nuclear bomb has a detonation switch on the cockpit and the open-air bridge, which serve as backups for each other, in case the enemy uses shore snipers to kill one or two people and destroy the overall plan. In short, Lausanne believes that he has done Arrived fully prepared.

The stable ship got into the thick fog spreading from west to east, and the visibility suddenly dropped to tens of meters. However, Lausanne had a satellite navigation system removed from a helicopter damaged by the Chinese army. Naturally, there will be no problems with the system in use.However, there are many shoals and reefs in this section. In order to prevent running aground, he had to turn on the headlights for illumination.He used the lights very restrainedly. The beams of light swept across the river in parallel, and he was careful not to hit the water to prevent a pool of light. At the same time, the searchlights were equipped with anti-scatter lampshades that rose forward to prevent detection by aerial reconnaissance.However, Lausanne is dense and sparse in that in the dense fog, light scattering does not only come from the light source itself, but also from tiny suspended particles themselves; and aerial vehicles can still find direct beams of light.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Lin Huaisheng led his headquarters to retreat to the north bank of the river, mainly to prevent the high-radiation dust from killing.However, the high-altitude sampling drone sent back the first report, and found no traces of dirty bombs. According to the report, the enemy only exploded a bomb.At the same time, the communication in the front is being repaired and recovered quickly. The forward troops have checked the truck that exploded and found no trace of a nuclear device.This result made Ding Keguang dumbfounded. He didn't believe that the desperate Lausanne could come up with such a trick.

Suddenly the alarm sounded loudly in the headquarters, and the radar simultaneously discovered two helicopters appearing and disappearing on the radar screen.Judging from the intercepted route, one plane was heading straight, while the direction and intention of the other plane were unknown.

This was the move that Lin Huaisheng feared the most, because the power of the air explosion was much greater than that of the ground detonation.Before the fighter jets arrive, the ground-to-air system must be relied on to keep the enemy out of the monitoring range.He knew that only one of the two helicopters could be a real threat, but they appeared from different areas at the same time, which greatly hindered the prevention and control network.

Lin Huaisheng sat in front of the monitor without saying a word, watching the enemy plane disappear and reappear. After repeating it several times, he expected that things were not as simple as he saw. The missile was dawdling on the edge of range, so it was still a feint designed to attract his attention.Various pieces of information flashed across the screen, mainly the shocking figures of the latest distance of the enemy helicopter, and then a piece of inconspicuous information showed that an unmanned pilot who was routinely searching the Shuo River found suspicious light downstream. Lin Huaisheng stood up all of a sudden.

"I need the latest weather report."

The chaotic scene fell silent for a while, and no one knew why the chief of staff wanted this completely off-kilter report.

"The latest weather forecast report was released by the meteorological team 2 hours ago: The northwest cold front crossed Bhutan last night and just arrived here. It is expected that there will be heavy fog in the morning."

"Who of you go out and take a look, is there any fog on the main channel?" He didn't believe the report, so he directly instructed a staff officer to go out and take a look.

After a while, the man came back with a binoculars: "Chief of Staff, the river is already foggy."

"Let Chang Yong's team take off and search the river carefully. If suspicious targets are found, immediately implement EMP strikes."

"I'm talking about Lao Lin, do you still think this thing doesn't hurt you enough?" Lao Ding said with a sad face. He just counted the losses of the first EMP attack. Due to the concentration of nearby troops, the damage to equipment caused is already an astonishing number.

"Believe me, I can guess what that old bastard is thinking. Immediately notify the troops along the river, the prisoner-of-war camps, and all positions to evacuate according to the scheduled No. 3 plan. All departments that cannot be evacuated in time should seek cover nearby and not be exposed In the wilderness." He deployed solemnly, "Tell the old man that the enemy may have drilled near me, they are hiding in the cover of thick fog, and the detection means may fail, let the air force find a way."

"Have Air Force planes search the river?"

"Yes, that's the only way to do it."

The fighter planes that arrived from the north quickly searched the suspicious area where the enemy helicopter was found, and without too much trouble, they found a helicopter hiding in the valley of Meghalaya, pretending to be a ghost.The two fighters quickly circled and approached the enemy plane, but the enemy plane seemed to have discovered that it was exposed, and quickly disappeared from the radar. After the fighters approached, they saw a flame on the hillside, but there was no sign of a nuclear bomb explosion in the air , the enemy seemed to crash into the mountain by himself in a panic.The other helicopter resolutely attacked the air defense circle. It tried to avoid the detection of air fighters by flying at a low altitude close to the valley, but it broke into a mobile air defense position lurking on the periphery. The missile was quickly shot down, and when the drones for sampling and testing arrived, they also found no traces of the dirty bomb explosion that Lin Huaisheng was worried about.
