Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 581
Like most of the Indian troops who suffered head-on blows in the frenzy, this tank unit was stunned by a sudden blow from the side, and some tanks turned around the muzzle and began to search the flanks.

India's 113th Independent Armored Regiment has participated in all Pakistani wars since 1947 without defeat, and they have a great advantage in their hearts.Not long ago, this unit just switched from T55 to a new type of Korean weapon with a stable image director.They set off from the station, and the original deployment area was in Jammu, where the mountainous terrain is very suitable for this kind of tank with a special suspension system.However, during the transportation, the troops suddenly received an order from their superiors to unload the trucks on the spot and block an enemy armored force that had penetrated into the defense line. So they spent the night and immediately switched from the state of transportation to the state of combat. The troops had high morale. He threw himself into battle without hesitation.

When the tank regiment swooped towards the enemy, it did not pay attention to the safety of the flanks. In fact, the regiment headquarters did not have reconnaissance vehicles that could be sent around to investigate the situation around the battlefield.The affiliated troops of the regiment headquarters, together with the first battalion, set off one day earlier; they have already arrived in Jammu, and are preparing to surprise the mighty CCP mountain tanks that have recently appeared around Leh.

In most of the fights with the Pakistan Army, unnecessary peripheral reconnaissance and alerts are a waste of time. Usually, the Pakistan Army's friends and neighbors rarely cooperate, and it is also a mess to cooperate.But today is different from the past, the 113th regiment ran into Yahini.

If the war does not break out, Yahini is likely to be dismissed from the position of commander in June because he failed the exercise assessment, and transferred to the cooking army to be a cooking soldier. After the expiration of the service period, he will naturally be kicked out of the army , to Peshawar to work as a mason.But the war the Indians themselves had started created such a monster that they had to face.This monster has precise judgment and excellent luck on the battlefield, these factors make him always have the upper hand in the battle.

The surprised Indian platoon leaders got their heads out of the turrets and came to observe to the west.Those Type 96 tanks had just finished shooting. At this moment, the gun barrels were adjusting their angles to wait for automatic loading, and thick smoke from the smoke extractor was spewing out from the muzzle. The sharp-eyed Indian commander noticed the smoke.

The Indian commanders realized that an enemy army was ambushing about 2 kilometers to their sides. These tanks seemed to be Type 99 provided by China, and they used a yellow, brown, The cold desert painting mixed with white, if it does not move, it is really like a rock in the snow, which is not easy to be found.

Within 20 seconds, all the Indian tank groups in the pursuit state began to come to a standstill. From the perspective of orderliness, their orders were issued very smoothly, and the discipline of the troops was not bad.Now Yahini is still unable to find the command vehicle from the chaotic formation of the 113th regiment that stretches for one kilometer, but this is not very important.He knew that the enemy had entered the urn, and whoever commanded him would suffer a crushing defeat.

The young battalion commander calmly ordered the 1st company to stop, turned around and entered a counterattack.Of course, an absolute safe distance must be guaranteed, and his company began to launch laser-beam missiles at the enemy.

The 12 cannons fired at the same time, and the gunner pressed the crosshairs to control the missiles to fly to their respective targets. They knew that the first surprise attack was the most important, and long-distance attacks would become difficult when the enemy was protected from smoke.

Most of the missiles hit their targets after a long flight.The panicked enemy still had a numerical advantage, but the tide had turned.

The Indian tank suddenly faced the situation of being flanked and shot, and did not know where the turret should turn.In fact, no matter how you turn it, it will cause chaos while focusing on one thing and losing another.The head of the Indian regiment made a moderate decision to divide the troops to fight. During the chaos of the formation, the enemy kept firing accurate firepower to hit the K1 tank, and the performance of the 1mm rifled gun of the K105 tank was simply a disaster.What it responded to the enemy was to use the fin-stabilized armor-piercing projectile with a sliding stock. This kind of stubby ammunition has a small aspect ratio, a large windward surface, severe kinetic energy attenuation over long distances, and is extremely susceptible to crosswind interference.

The tank fire control system tracks the flight trajectory of the shell by capturing the light emitted by the tracer tube at the tail of the fired ammunition. If it misses, the left and right deviation value can provide the horizontal direction correction of the second shell.

This kind of ammunition is quite accurate within 1500 meters, but beyond this distance, its trajectory will become unpredictable. Usually, the shooter can only see random swings of light spots, with no rules to follow.

In previous training, all shooting subjects were arranged within 1.5 kilometers. The South Korean instructor once reminded the officers and soldiers of the 113th regiment not to expect the shells to perform beyond this distance.After all, this is an artillery that has been eliminated for a long time in the international arms market.

The stunned counterattack went very unsuccessfully, but relying on the absolute superiority in numbers, the 113th regiment gradually gained a firm foothold and formed a balance with the enemy.The 11 T84 tanks outside the battlefield were rushing over at high speed. The rumble of artillery from the northwest urged the company commander of the second company to speed up. He knew that his company was about to decide the outcome.If the enemy is smart enough, he should find out at this moment that there is only one company of Pakistani tanks on either side, which can be forced to push through, so he must rush in from the southeast as soon as possible to complete the encirclement.

Despite the lack of data link support, the company commander of the 2nd company is also very aware of the current excellent situation. In the northwest direction of his own, all the enemies have their butts aimed at him. Joan's best chance for revenge after losing most of it in an ambush.

The Indians were still putting up resistance, using their destroyed tanks as a barrier, looking for an opportunity to avoid the deadly crossfire.What they know is that even the enemy's 125mm shells are not fully sure to penetrate the frontal armor at this distance. What they don't know is that 11 T84s are about to emerge from the rear.Yahini is like an insatiable hyena. He not only wants to challenge opponents twice his size, but also swallows them whole.

Wang Zhenbei's vanguard reconnaissance battalion is still 10 kilometers behind at this moment. He himself stayed in the command vehicle further back, and understood the whole situation through the video captured by the drone on the western edge of the battlefield.

He was cursing Yahini just now for being stupid like a pig and not getting closer to him, but gradually he began to realize that something was wrong. This Yahini is not a name for nothing, he is as smart as a ghost.This was the truth he realized after seeing the T84 bypassing the enemy.He began to sweat for the Indian regiment leader. You must know that this group of K1 tanks is probably the most suitable warm-up target before he fights against the White Tiger Division, because it is far weaker than the T90A, and it can attack alone.But in any case, they should at least persist until their troops arrive.

Wang Zhenbei's worries are still justified. He has studied the exchange model of tank warfare in depth.The tank's dominant defensive belt is on the front, while the side and rear are much weaker.Only when the two sides face each other is the basis for an equal exchange. This is a truth that any car commander understands.On this basis, it can be ensured that the two sides will exchange in a conventional ratio according to a series of strengths and weaknesses such as firepower, defense, command ability, and proficiency.

However, Yahini's insidious three-sided siege formation will not have a conventional exchange ratio. Once the formation is formed, the Indian tank group will not be able to exert its numerical advantage at all, or even defend; It is to meet the strongest head-on.This Indian army is doomed to suffer to death.According to the conservative calculation of tank guns shooting 3 times per minute, it does not take too long to destroy 1 tanks in an open area without shelter.

In the end, if there were no accidents, this battle would have a very astonishing result. Such a miracle should have been accomplished by myself. How could I let a gangster who never went to a military school take it away?

"Wing Wing, why are you so careless?" He shouted anxiously.

Yahini still carefully searched the battlefield through the perimeter mirror.His main job is not to guide the target for the gunner Tasim, but to grasp the overall situation at any time.The smoke released by the enemy greatly reduced the success rate of missile attacks. He ordered all tanks to stop using this expensive weapon and instead move forward to shorten the distance from the enemy and play the role of armor-piercing projectiles.

"Black Panther Battalion Commander, Black Panther Battalion Commander, please answer."

Yahini heard a call on the command channel, and he was worried that the command would intervene and sabotage his plan?

"This is the Panther Battalion, please tell me."

"The newly received information shows that there are 113 South Korean military advisers from the 6th Regiment, who are scattered in 5 companies. We must catch them alive." The staff officer of the headquarters said.

"I'll keep an eye out for them when I see them, but you know, technically I can't identify them."

"This is an important task, be sure to catch one or two."

"clear."

He pretended to accept this inexplicable suggestion and stopped unnecessary explanations.He knew nothing about politics, only that it was not feasible to capture prisoners alive in a tank battle, and those who gave orders were all laymen.

"The 2nd company, have you dawdled? We can't stand it here."

"I'll be right there."

The company commander of the 2nd company who rushed to the car took the lead and rushed onto the railway embankment.The chaotic battlefield unfolded in front of him, and all the enemy tanks opened their doors, aiming the rear of the tank at him.The closest ones are only 300 meters away.This was a situation he could not even dream of.For a tanker, every shot within range is like Russian roulette, because the opponent's artillery can also reach him. If the shell fails to penetrate the enemy's armor, it means that the initiative, or his own life and death, falls in the opponent's hand.Now, all enemy tanks are waiting to be hit.

"Allah is great, Allah is great."

He gasped violently and shouted, the snot from the excitement came down.Of course, his hands were not idle, and he instructed the gunner to turn around and attack the nearest enemy vehicle.It can be seen that the Indian commander on the K1 is leaning half of his body from the turret and waving his left hand, calling the vehicles next to him to move closer to him. It looks like at least a platoon leader.

A shell penetrated the engine compartment of the K1 tank from the rear, directly causing a rear fire and power failure.The Indian car captain turned his head angrily, as if he had been betrayed. He wanted to see which bastard who didn't open his eyes hit his own?
The thick smoke from the deflagration of the engine blurred his vision, and he could only see about seven or eight tanks rushing along his own route just now. It seemed that they were T72s of the Indian army.

The commander tried to climb out of the turret, but the flames rose too fast and consumed him in no time.The rest of the T84 also started free fire.The gunners chose to fire at the rear of the turret, so that two or three of the four men inside would be killed in about one shot.

The turret of the K1 tank has a very exaggerated and bluffing frontal armor, but the rear armor is barely able to withstand rockets.Once the armor-piercing projectile pierces the turret from the rear, the ammunition stored in the turret is easily detonated. After the armor-piercing projectile penetrates the turret along the axis, it cannot find a way to penetrate the thick front armor. The broken debris will disperse all the remaining kinetic energy In the car, there is a great chance of causing a fire. It would be a miracle if one person escaped alive after such a blow.

Lin Huaisheng has been waiting for the result of the battle ahead, this can be regarded as the first tough battle after the start of this big operation.He had just exchanged views with Wang Zhenbei via satellite communication. Wang Zhenbei disapproved of Yahini's disobedience, but he expected Yahini to win a big victory.After all, Wang Zhenbei was able to understand the situation at a glance, and he knew that he had another competitor.Lin Huaisheng once imagined that Wang Zhenbei and He Fan approached the city of New Delhi from two routes, and the final battle was long and short. Now it seems that they are not the only two participating in this competition. Yahini is not willing to make a feint As a chess piece, he also longed to be the main force in beating up Spanga's armored forces.

"Boss Lin, the higher-ups are urging to arrest a few more."

"Now we can't restrain the command of the front-line generals. After the mechanized infantry arrives on the battlefield in time, we may be able to catch a few."

Lin Huaisheng said.When Yahini shirked it as technically unfeasible, he was indeed a little angry, but after a second thought, he couldn't make it difficult for the commander who worked hard for the front line.Xu Jingzhe's request is really unreasonable, and the pressure can only be borne by himself.

The main situation causing these problems is that the president of South Korea's Saenuri Party, who has enthusiastically supported the entire military aid to India, is facing a general election disadvantage.The opposition party accused him of investing the property of South Korea's armed forces in places that have nothing to do with South Korea's security. The president argued that he was taking a longer-term view of China, which is seeking Asian hegemony, and he promised that there would be no Koreans. in danger of war.

The South Korean military advisers were indeed not prepared to intervene in the battle, but they were caught in the war in a hurry while transporting equipment. According to intelligence, all 6 people should be scattered on the command vehicles of each company.Xu Jingzhe was keenly aware that it was time to embarrass him a little bit, and his suggestion was immediately supported by his superiors.
