Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 593
In a short period of time, the 4th Armored Division of the Indian Army has established a supporting air defense network behind the border. There are a large number of mobile defense systems capable of independent operations in the front, and the Sam 6 missiles are deployed in the rear.There is an S300 missile warning radar in Chandigarh that turns on from time to time to show its existence; in addition, although the Aster 30 lurking in Jammu, which has not been seen so far, is not in the sequence of this force, it may also threaten the northern airspace of the battlefield. This is already a clear gun. A complete system of backstabbing is ready.

However, the biggest shortcoming of the enemy is that their air force is already unable to dispatch, and it is difficult to defend against strike forces outside the area by relying on anti-aircraft missiles alone.With the current strength of the Chinese Air Force, even if Indian aircraft take off, they can only operate under the protection of their own air defense network, unable to compete for air supremacy or support ground combat, basically losing the value of the tactical air force.

Song Ning carefully monitored the situation in the air. The Indian Air Force was unwilling to lose its self-esteem. Occasionally, fighter planes would take off, but they did not dare to go too deep. The figure of the Indian Air Force had almost disappeared on the northern front. It exists symbolically. Unlike troops such as tanks and artillery, the air force cannot recover in a short period of time.

In addition to the enemy's air force, he has to keep an eye on other intelligence summaries, such as where the air defense radar missed another face, or the drone found other high-value targets. He will serve as an important commander and assist the ground Command makes attack decisions.In the complex command system, he usually does not get involved in the plan of the ground attack. These are determined by Lin Huaisheng's expeditionary force headquarters according to the needs of ground operations.However, if the target location to be attacked is too deep and judged to be more dangerous, he has the right to veto the attack, or change to a satellite-guided bomb attack outside a safer area.Satellite-guided bombs have many disadvantages, such as long flight time, easy to let maneuvering targets slip away, and are easily intercepted by armored S1 or Doyle systems densely packed on the front line, and whether to destroy the target needs to be confirmed by reconnaissance satellites in orbit. In terms of the upcoming attack from Lin Huaisheng's headquarters, the confirmation time is too long.So Lin always wants the air force to perform some penetration missions.The Pakistani army has always been extremely heroic in such battles in the past, but the Pakistani air force has been wiped out, and Song Ning does not want his own people to bear such dangers.

"Commander, I just found traces of enemy missiles in the sky. It appeared 17 times 3 kilometers east of Lahore, and the location didn't change much each time. The expeditionary force command requested cross-border reconnaissance. They suspected that there was a heavy concentration of troops there."

"Let the 057 formation carry out anti-radiation missile attacks, and send drones to cross the border to confirm later." Song Ning said.

"But Commander, Yuanji hopes to cross the border for reconnaissance as soon as possible. In the last hour, the ground forces launched 11 drones, and all the area was lost. It is difficult for drones to break through now. It seems that only tactical aircraft can be used. Solve the reconnaissance."

"It's too risky. The defense below is not easy." Song Ning replied. He felt that the first wave of attack should be based on joint attack ammunition or anti-radiation weapons outside the area, and then electronic warfare aircraft to suppress the enemy's attack. The air defense network exposed its flaws, but the intention of the ground command was obviously different from his. What Lin Huaisheng needed to know was what was hidden under such a dense air defense network.

"Captain Black Spider requests to take off." Sami's voice from the radio interrupted.

"Squadron leader, you are on standby at the airport today, so you don't have to go out yourself?" Song Ning advised. He really couldn't bear to see that old bone in the first wave of the counterattack, so he took the risk. The Air Force is gone.

"Show me a goal on the other side of the border, and I'll solve it."

"The enemy has deployed a large number of Armor S1 near the highway, and the enemy's situation on the border is still unclear. This is not the time to be a hero."

"In the name of the Pakistan Air Force, I hope to drop bombs on the enemy's side. Don't worry, the missile that can shoot me down has not yet been built."

Sami said indifferently, in fact, it is not that he has not been shot down by a missile.Of course, it was his revenge plan to go to India to drop bombs. He once shot down enemy planes on the enemy’s border, but he never dropped bombs. At the beginning of the war, the F16 fighters of the Fighting Falcon Squadron had several cross-border attacks on the radar. Station battles, as the situation on the battlefield changed, this attack eventually disappeared.

"Major General... I still feel..."

"Please don't call out my rank on the radio."

"Okay. Black Spider 01 took off and went to the designated area to stand by. In the direction of Jammu, there are enemy artillery positions. 17 kilometers east of Lahore, it may be India's sky missiles and ground equipment. Reconnaissance is required. It is expected that there will be a large number of nearby Low-altitude defense system."

"Hand over the artillery positions to your people, and hand over the sky missiles to me."

"it is good."

Sammy's military rank is higher than Song Ning's, so he can choose his own tasks. Song Ning naturally hopes to find a relatively simple task for the old man to attack the artillery positions. task interest.

The fighter jets took off from the front-line airfield, carrying only ordinary 250kg bombs, reconnaissance pods, and fighting missiles. Sami has never been interested in weapons outside the area, and he does not want to use laser-guided bomb attacks with the cooperation of the two aircraft.Since the new tactical requirement is to search for valuable targets, if the attack needs to confirm whether it is damaged, he can confirm the hit with his own eyes.

The lonely J-10B rushed to the east, during which Song Ning reminded him that the Gujranwala battle was going on, and the ground troops hoped to have some air support to destroy the enemy's headquarters.Sammy vetoed these simple tasks again. Now that he has spoken, he must cross the border.Of course, without a rigorous plan, he couldn't go too far.However, his thinking has always been different from ordinary people. He believes that in the early stage of the counter-offensive, there were many valuable targets on the battlefield. However, as the battle continues, there will be fewer and fewer high-value targets for the Indian army in the future.

He chose to lower his altitude to the north of Lahore Castle, calmly escaped from the enemy's deep-deployed long-range radar surveillance, and then turned in. The Indian radar network is now facing the enemy, and it is unlikely to pay attention to a single aircraft.

The Chinese reconnaissance plane once again spotted this with the Indian Rajendra phased array radar turned on.2 plus Chinese fighter jets just fired anti-radiation missiles at that radar, but the Indians shut down in time, don't know if they hit or not.In any case, the old man decided to go and have a look for himself. This kind of radar has a cumbersome power supply, and even if he wants to run, he can't run too far.The thing to watch out for is the short-range anti-aircraft fire nearby.

Lin Huaisheng's headquarters paced anxiously, and he was not worried that a frontal attack was about to start.However, there was a lot of radio communication on the south wing, and there seemed to be a large-scale massing of troops.For the time being, it is difficult for him to confirm the truth and reality, and he needs to wait for the satellite. The air defense circle of Lahore has become unresponsive in a blink of an eye, at least for drones.In fact, he doesn't care about an air defense position at all, he needs to know whether the enemy is doing something there.He wants to know how many enemies there are. A shrinking armored division in Pakistan can't stop him. He is really not optimistic about the Pakistani army.

In fact, he has a long-range rocket launcher that can directly cover 200 kilometers behind the Indian border. According to the China-Pakistan agreement, the Chinese army will try not to use such light-handed weapons within the Pakistani border.But now, it's time to find a target worthy of the capital and deter it.The enemy on the front of Wangzhen North is very good at field combat, and the deployment is very scattered. It seems that it is not suitable for this performance. Judging from the new radio situation in Lahore from the east, the enemy units there are very dense, and they happen to be on the other side of the border. .

The command plane reported to Lin Huaisheng that a brave Pakistani pilot had already ventured into the Longtan, followed by a relay communication drone to ensure that the photos taken by the reconnaissance pod could be transmitted back.He was overjoyed, and sat down impatiently, pretending to be calm.Now he really wants to show his firepower in front of the whole world, so that those countries that are still supporting India's fight will retreat in spite of difficulties, and form an ending that will be defeated without a fight.

On the command plane, Song Ning sweated for the old man, watched the triangle cursor move on the screen, and he just rushed towards the enemy.Song Ning sometimes really doesn't understand why this person is so reckless and doesn't have the necessary personality traits for a pilot. Of course, it is difficult to explain that the Pakistani Air Force is almost exhausted, and he survived.

"Viper. I need more information."

Sammy yelled over the radio.

"145 kilometers to the southeast, the new warning radar is activated, and you may be seen. You can fly a little lower."

"clear."

"Beware of the armor system." Song Ning continued to remind.

"Without command vehicles, what can they do to me?" the major general said confidently.The mountain below was receding rapidly, and he knew that it was not suitable for deploying wheeled anti-aircraft weapons.

On the navigation display, the Indian border is already not far ahead.He had good eyesight, and saw the dome of the old castle left by the Mughal era in front of him.He knows that Indians like to deploy anti-aircraft firepower next to monuments or religious buildings, which was the case when he passed through the Fort not long ago.So he lowered the altitude and dealt with it carefully. Some anti-aircraft guns can fire with the firing director without the gun aiming radar. Although the accuracy is poor, they are often taken by surprise.

The red and yellow Indian army flag fluttering on the top of the castle shows that it has become a stronghold for Indian invasion, perhaps a regiment headquarters.Sure enough, small-caliber artillery was set up on the top of the city, and it started to turn towards him. This was the effect he wanted, to disrupt the situation. If the radar of the Akash system was still hiding in the dark, it would probably be tempting to turn it on.

Lahore Fort is still on the Pakistani side and it is on high ground.The Indian anti-aircraft guns fired inaccurately, and all fell behind Sami. He turned his head to observe the enemy's trajectory behind the plane.When I turned around again, I had already flown over the border highlands.He was taken aback by the sight on the Indian side.What unfolded in front of his eyes were densely packed ground vehicles piled up at the intersection of two highways. In an instant, he saw tanks mounted on trailers, various engineering vehicles, and military vehicles that could not be seen at a glance.His first thought was that he had too few bombs with him.

"Poisonous snake. The enemy here is not small."

He knew that he was on the head of at least one regiment of enemies, and he would not get out so easily, so he quickly pushed the throttle.Almost at the same time, the radar warning device found a large number of radar exposures from all directions. He flew over the enemy's long line, estimating the size of the enemy in his mind.After detecting the warning radar cycle, the warning equipment judged that all of them came from the armor system, a total of 6 units.The old man lowered his head and glanced at the alarm device, but couldn't figure out the sequence of threats for the time being.

He took a deep breath as the fighter jet flew 60 kilometers over the heads of the terrified Indians from a low altitude of 1.5 meters.Immediately, the alarm began to emit a sharp warning sound, and a radar from the front was aimed at itself.

From the traffic jam, he saw the missile launch tubes being erected high.The 8-wheel anti-aircraft vehicle was also blocked on the road and could not move.

The fire snake sprayed by the machine gun was already rushing towards his face. He deftly pulled up the fighter plane, climbed at a large angle of attack, and threw the fire net below.It is indeed a little bit reluctant to do such an action with a heavy bomb, but fortunately this aircraft has enough power.He didn't have the opportunity to calmly fight more with less like Song Ning, but he knew that this kind of short-range defense system had a very large blind spot for irradiating radar.So I have to face the enemy, run to the top of its head, and then strike first.

The angle of climb of the plane was close to vertical, and at an altitude of 1000 meters, he looked back and saw more Indian ground troops. There was far more than one regiment here, and the long car queues of the enemy could hardly advance.

Since the nose of the aircraft was pointing at the blue sky, the reconnaissance pod couldn't take pictures, so Lin Huaisheng naturally couldn't see the size of the enemy at the same time. He always wanted to overlook the enemy's situation from a high altitude, but now he could only curse loudly in a hurry.

Sammy completed a very tight somersault. During the U-turn process, he sensed the distant sky missile radar, but his subsequent vertical dive could not be locked by the radar at all.The reconnaissance pod under the nose transmitted the captured photos back in time. When the plane was at its highest point, the wide field of view of the camera covered an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers.

Now Sammy does not need continuous impact point calculation, or any sensors, the plane is straight down, and only needs to use the reference sight on the HUD to drop the bomb.He knows the power of the two 2-kilogram bombs, so it doesn't matter if he is allowed to be a little bit off.The Armor S250, which couldn't find the target, was getting bigger and clearer, and the battlefield surveillance radar above it was still spinning around helplessly.The Indian military vehicles and crowds around were about to flee. Obviously, the loud roar of fighter jets frightened them.Everything is in slow motion.

"Song, if you are afraid of these things, learn from this."

He pulled the bomb trigger, and the bomb fell to the ground with a very high initial velocity.During this period, the WMD-7 reconnaissance pod took pictures continuously and transmitted them to Lin Huaisheng's headquarters. From the black and white pictures, Lin Huaisheng identified a lot of engineering equipment. The enemy is indeed increasing troops to Lahore, but I don't know why, they are blocked at the crossing of the border. Maybe the Indian Army and the Pakistani Army have the same education, and they are not very good at marching.
