Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 575 Late Information

Zheng Hui has never seen such a situation before. The long-distance missile attacks he has experienced, whether they come from fighter planes or the ground, the missiles will always lose their power after the first few seconds, and they always rely on inertia to complete the final attack. Kill, but these two bright spots show that its thrusters are still working continuously, which is a missile that does not match previous experience, but is consistent with new intelligence.Its power is long-lasting, and the flight trajectory of the missile is relatively smooth, not so ups and downs.

Zheng Hui turned desperately in the dark, forcing himself to restrain his fear and get as close to the snow mountain as possible.Such a desperate move stems from some information he knows; he knows that the turning efficiency of missiles relying on vector nozzles in the future should be higher than that of traditional missiles turning by relying on rudder surfaces.

The missile failed to keep up with Zheng Hui. Although it turned around as soon as it passed the mountain pass and completed a turn of about 15G, Zheng Hui's radar warning equipment detected that the fighter was included in the scanning field of view, but they were still a little bit short. With the deceleration and climbing of the mountain, it quickly jumped out of the edge of the radar field of vision, and the seeker of the missile could not distinguish the aircraft close to the snow-capped mountain. The low speed of the aircraft made its identification software filter it out.

Obviously, the active radar of the missiles has not had time to keep up with the compact evasion action of China's number one ace, which is completely relying on intuition, which is the main reason for losing the target; but they immediately switched targets, lost the first-stage thruster, and then caught up with Zheng Hui The rest of the fighters in the formation.Relying on the control torque provided by the gas valve to the vector nozzle, the missile quickly changes its attitude, and its seeker is already pointing at the new target before a huge turn is completed.Zheng Hui watched the missile turn around in the distance, and its turning rate must have surpassed that of the S300.He knew that even the Aster 30 would not be able to attack a second high-mobility target without losing such a large speed.Sure enough, the other two J-2s threw off the missiles with a simple acceleration method.

Zheng Hui raised the height carefully, and when he jumped out of the snow mountain, he was captured by the radar again.Now, what is more important than escaping or destroying the two self-propelled artillery is to collect as much information as possible about the new system in actual combat, including radar features and ground command methods, so as to strengthen the troops' confrontation training and software support upgrade.At least in the future confrontation, there will be no dark eyes.

The early warning aircraft could see that the two missiles stubbornly increased their speed to Mach 3 for the second time, which was not easy for other missiles. In the end, the missiles still fell due to lack of fuel.The radar also quickly disappeared along with the attacking equipment. Obviously, there was no result in the first shot, and it exposed its own existence and some radio characteristics, which would make its commander feel frustrated, but Zheng Hui did not continue. Provoked their courage deeply.He had learned the missile's long endurance, though that didn't mean it had a great range.However, he thought that if during the day, when the pilot could not judge its attacking direction in advance through the light of its thrusters, it might miss the first few seconds of evasion time, so that it would be easier to attack successfully.

A drone carrying a missile quickly rushed to this area, but circled a few times, unable to find the target below through the infrared sensor, and finally retreated.

In this confrontation, both sides had some gains and losses in various parts of the three-dimensional battlefield. The Indian Army even created an altitude record for the use of self-propelled howitzers in the history of world wars. The excellent performance of this artillery also inevitably made it into China. The blacklist that the military prioritizes.Of course, on the whole, the huge casualties suffered by Indian ground forces in the unplanned attack overshadowed some bright spots in other areas.

At sunrise, on the ridge of Diemcuoke, the bare military flag pole was pulled out by a Chinese soldier and thrown down the mountain. Most of the flammable things on the surface, including ammunition, military uniforms, wooden butts, and human hair , have been burned.The trenches were filled with fallen and charred bodies, and parts of broken weapons were strewn everywhere.

The search troops carefully opened the cold outer metal door of the bunker, and the layers of corpses behind the door collapsed one after another. These corpses are more complete than the outer corpses with hair, limbs and clothing, but the appearance of death is more terrifying. Most of the ears and noses are bleeding, nails break off.It is conceivable that at the last moment of their lives, they desperately hoped to open the door to breathe the outside air, but the hot and suffocating airflow created by the air incendiary bombs lasted for a very long time, so long that all these people could not escape death in the end.

The Chinese soldiers who were ordered to occupy this place and clean up the battlefield could not find a place to put their feet into the bunker. They could only drag out the frozen corpses piled up at the door one by one, and put them next to the trench. The whole process was shocking.

According to preliminary statistics, there are about 300 Indian soldiers who died on the mountain, plus those who were annihilated underground in the valley. The Indian army lost at least 1000 soldiers in yesterday's tough battle. A lot of them were wiped out by aerial firepower and the cold weather. This part of the number cannot be counted for the time being, but the monitored enemy communications show that a large number of troops lost their combat effectiveness in the cold snap in the second half of the night, and some numbers disappeared from the sequence.

The remnants of the Sikh Battalion who carried out the task of attacking fortified areas finally chose to surrender in desperation.These people were disarmed and escorted to the rear. They did not realize how overwhelming the attack was when they passed the starting position of the Chinese army in the valley. The army they were going to challenge yesterday was so huge .Facts have proved that the intelligence of the Indian Army is wrong. The Chinese army has enough troops in this area to launch an operation to capture Srinagar.

The prisoners of war were quickly accepted by the Ali Defense Zone. Those who came to accept these people were actually the "People's Awakening and Anti-War Alliance" composed of Indians. In fact, these ethnic minority fighters from Uttar Pradesh were proposed by Xu Jingzhe to give priority to attracting them. Object.If these people can fight back, they will play a decisive role in dismantling India's loose federal system.Such an institutional instigation of rebellion has been proven to be feasible in Assam.

New Delhi's rule over remote areas has always been weak, and it is even more unpopular in the army composed of ethnic minorities.China has captured about 10 prisoners. After a period of political education, most of the low-caste soldiers have been awakened to a certain extent. Many people are willing to see the current government in New Delhi collapse.Xu Jingzhe is already planning to let the most activists among these people return to the war at the right time to take charge of intelligence collection or subvert the old government. In the established plan of national autonomy, these people come from the bottom. Should also be the most important player.

Xu Jingzhe specifically studied the chaotic local tribal self-government alliance promoted by the Indians in southern Pakistan.So far, most of Balochistan is under the separatist rule of warlords, the infiltration of external forces (the United States) is serious, and the civil war is on the verge of breaking out.These places are armed with lawlessness, attacking the Pakistani army and often attacking the Indian army.The root of its failure is that New Delhi only hopes to win over some tribal leaders to form an effective puppet rule in areas where the Indian army cannot reach.What the Chinese army has to do is completely different from these simplistic upper-level bribery routes. If the Kahan government thinks deeply about this threat, the fear they can experience should be more than the defeat on the battlefield. However, the Indian government is based on The self-confidence of its own system without common sense has not shown too much concern about the disintegration of its ruling foundation so far.

Meneam didn't close his eyes all night, standing upright at the command post, waiting for the final curtain of the attack.

In fact, when the Observation Post on the top of Diem Cuoke reported that the enemy had used tanks, he already knew that the attack would undoubtedly fail.In the end, the Chinese Air Force dropped a specially formulated cloud bomb, which made the most effective front-line observation post useless, and his source of information became intermittent radio calls; eventually, in the early hours of this morning, all radio calls were lost. answer.

The lieutenant general’s staff once told him that cloud bombs cannot be used on plateaus, because experiments have proved that the thin air on plateaus prevents them from being ignited. At least such weapons imported from Russia by India cannot be used in areas above 3000 meters. .But the fact is that the Chinese have clearly improved their ammunition.This made him feel a little lucky about his wise decision to evacuate Srinagar while being sad.

"Everything is over. At least we know that the enemy's troops in this area are limited, but their air force cannot be underestimated. Everyone, go back and rest." He said wearily.

"I'm not willing to participate in the second wave of attack." General Olinde said indignantly. Just now, Meneam prevented him from sending the reserve team into the battle for the tamcuoke highland, which made him a little bitter.

"Brother, don't be too anxious. This battle still has to be fought. I think we have figured out the enemy's ways. In the future, we will adopt more flexible methods in certain tactics."

"You mean a war of attrition?"

"Yes. From this battle, it can be seen that the Chinese army has hidden a lot of trump cards. Fortunately...we also have a lot of cards in our hands."

Olinde has been clamoring for a counterattack just now. He still has a lot of troops on the second line. He thinks he can grab the commanding heights of the ridge before the Chinese army, but the attack plan was rejected by Meneam because these troops have not yet attacked. , there was a lot of frostbite.

The lieutenant general now knows that he can sneak attack on the opponent at any point on the long front, and he can succeed by virtue of the momentary opportunity and superiority of troops, but the opponent can immediately organize forces to fight back.This attack at least proves that the opponent does not have a strong force east of Diem Cuoke, otherwise the two battalions would not be able to attack the ALD area where the enemy has been operating for decades. Obviously, the enemy is also in chaos for a while. In the end, it should have mobilized a few tanks from other fronts, coupled with the superior air force, to stabilize the situation.He found that these tanks are really easy to use in the mountains, but unfortunately he doesn't have one for the time being, but this unilateral technical advantage won't last long.

In addition, this battle also brought him some surprises.Judging from the performance of the 40th Artillery Regiment, the Chinese artillery in person was no match at all. The British, who were the most unhappy at the time, stopped calling. Sir Short, who supervised the use of weapons, asked to share the battle information two hours after the artillery battle. all the details.He also expressed his high appreciation for the ability to use equipment in this artillery battle. Obviously, the victory in the battle against the Communist Party will prompt these quasi-allies to give up their doubts and fears and continue to provide various equipment.

The lieutenant general himself was born as an artilleryman, so he quickly concluded that although the enemy occupies a higher terrain, the height is not conducive to the display of mobility. The light artillery they secretly deployed has the problems of difficulty in mobilization and insufficient range. In this round of confrontation, doing nothing is completely reduced to tasteless.He thought that as long as young talents like Hariyaman can continue to emerge, and Western aid can continue to arrive, this war will still have to be fought.

Xu Jingzhe took a nap on the sofa in the office for several hours, and when he woke up, his desk was full of summaries and reports.He stood up and flipped through the top few documents. The information came from different sources, but they pointed to the same point, and they were all new weapons obtained by the enemy.

First, it was obtained by the Pakistani Intelligence Agency using the inside line of the Mumbai Port Authority. The Ministry of Transport of India issued a top-secret list of major military supplies arriving at the port and the contents that need to be unloaded first.The information was delayed due to some unknown reasons and lost its timeliness, but some tricks can still be seen.

After years of operation, he has some insiders lurking in the core government departments, but not as wide and deep as his Pakistani friends. Even in some cold yamen or remote cities, the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Bureau has spies. Often can bring some surprises.

Some parts of the list have been blotted out with a black pen. It is obvious that the administrative level of the detective cannot touch the most confidential parts.However, it can still be estimated from the tonnage registry of the cargo ship, the size and weight of the equipment and the designated loading and unloading area.

Indians always choose to unload important cargo when satellites cannot observe it, and they don’t stay in the storage area for a long time, so the key cargo is in the old dock area, which is closer to the railway loading and unloading area.

It is known that the 40-ton "large-scale mining equipment" is the AS90 system, because the loading and unloading site is supervised by the British.

The freighter St. Lucia that arrived in Hong Kong 3 days later was sailing from Toulon. If compared with European intelligence, it should be the Caesar artillery system. The Indian troops who received these weapons spoke with an Uttar Pradesh accent, so it can be inferred that they will be deployed to the north.

Xu Jingzhe looked down with great interest. The Korean K1 tanks were also unloaded at about the same time. At that time, the Assam battle was in full swing, so their K9 self-propelled artillery was unloaded directly to Calcutta, but the tanks were unloaded in Mumbai. Conducive to unified scheduling.This also escaped the eyeliner of the intelligence department.
