Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 611 Powerless Singer

The short air battle ended within 1 minute. During this period, the rest of the helicopters in Chang Yong's formation had already been engaged in ground support battles.

The first wave of Indian tanks, without accompanying anti-aircraft firepower, could only be passively beaten for a while.Chang Yong has been worried about the appearance of one or two Laura self-propelled anti-aircraft guns or Doyle M1. Although he observed suspicious radar radiation in the north, there was no anti-aircraft fire that he was worried about.

According to the worst situation, he must immediately engage in anti-tank operations, but he must not fly too low. His "commander plane" with a millimeter-wave radar on his head stays in a higher airspace, so he can better monitor the battlefield for the whole. As the information core in battle, he is obliged to stay at a height where he can overlook the ground and monitor the sky.Of course, such a position will definitely increase the risk of being discovered by the opponent's anti-aircraft weapons, but he has no choice.

The shooters in front saw the rampaging Indian T55 tanks with the naked eye. They were maneuvering at high speed in front of them and had already broken through the defense line. Open the line of defense.

Chang Yong was indeed a little surprised. He had never seen a Pakistani army with a line of defense that required repeated tearing by the enemy.Under normal circumstances, Indian tanks only need to break through at one point, which means that the whole line has to be crossed; but at this moment, on the position that was completely bombarded by 155mm shells, there were 40 rocket launchers shooting at the tanks on all sides from time to time, and the resistance was fierce. Impress him.And the Indian tank unit below is also experienced enough. Although the equipment is poor, the attack is very organized.

But no matter how sophisticated he was, tanks were just a pile of scrap iron in his eyes, but those BMP-2s had some real air-to-air threats.

Although it is impossible to use millimeter-wave radar to find targets in batches, the shooter can still easily capture the target using infrared imaging targeting equipment, and the distance is too close.

Using infrared-guided Red Arrow 10 missiles to fly to the target, it was easily destroyed, and then the shooter strafed the scurrying BMP-2s with machine guns. They were more threatening than tanks, mainly because of the 30mm machine gun.The cannon of Wuzhi 10 is designed to shoot the weak armor plate in front of the BMP-2 turret with long bursts. A few hits can destroy the engine, stop a tank there, and it is likely to catch fire.

The Indian tanks that broke into the position were suddenly beaten from the sky. The tank commanders lacked vision of the air and were unable to deal with it for a while.Pakistan's rout was suddenly reversed.But the Chinese helicopter was immediately fired by rocket launchers and machine guns on the ground, some from the Indian troops and some from the Pakistani troops.Fortunately, Chang Yong was prepared, and he ordered the fleet to rise to a height that those fools could not reach.

Jammu, inside Meneyam's headquarters.On the huge map on the wall, the small blue flag representing one's own assault tank has not moved forward for a long time.When the news of breaking through the enemy's position came just now, there was a burst of applause in the headquarters, but now it fell into an anxious silence.

"Bring me the reserve team from Sialkot. The anti-aircraft firepower is also dispatched. Don't worry, we still have cards."

"Commander, the Trident failed to regain air supremacy, and the enemy's aircraft were several times more than ours. Should we make Black Cobra give up the ground attack?"

"This battle is about the survival of our army. Even if there is no return, we must continue to fight." Meneam said decisively, "Let the attack aircraft formation continue to attack and fight."

"Yes!"

The Indian Trident Squadron was unable to cope with the medium-range attacks of more and more Chinese J-10 fighter jets, and was forced to give up the task of covering the formation of low-altitude attack aircraft and fled back to Jammu in a hurry.

The Indian Black Cobra Squadron, which was still approaching the front line, did not know that the MiG-29 fleet covering them had fired all the medium-range bombs and fled back. They continued to speed up and swooped forward. Their attack mission was temporarily modified. , The headquarters asked them to allocate half of their troops to search for Chinese helicopters at low altitude.

Along the way, the fleet encountered sporadic returning fighters, all of which were Jaguars from the Bull Squadron, and some of them were still wounded or trailing black smoke, which showed that the battle ahead was extremely bad.

The 15 black cobras were divided into 2 breakthrough formations, one of which rushed ahead, and as soon as they saw the opponent's helicopter, they were ready to drop bombs and fuel tanks and rush towards the helicopter. They didn't know that they had already become the superior in this decisive battle. A bet in.

Everyone in Meneam's command expected that they could rush to the battlefield before the Chinese Air Force, destroy the helicopters and turn the situation around, but no one expected them to return.

Each Jaguar carries two R2 magic missiles. Although these missiles can only search for targets through the missile's aging and poorly maintained seeker itself, they still pose a huge threat to Chang Yong's fleet.In the distance, the pilots of the black cobra formation saw black smoke all over the horizon from a distance. This is the black smoke from the Tunguska rapid-fire gun that just appeared.

Zhao Lin's formation had shot down three MiG-3s in the air, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, but suddenly received a direct order from Song Ning on the command plane.Ask him to give up the pursuit and immediately turn around to intercept the enemy's attack aircraft formation below.

The 12 J-10 fighter jets immediately turned around, filed down, and launched an attack.

The irradiation radars of several Buk missiles were fired from the north.Zhao Lin didn't have the time to deal with them, so he could only let the electronic warfare aircraft deal with them.There are several high-altitude electronic warfare aircraft carrying 3 to 4 jamming pods, based on the J-10 and Flying Leopard fighters.They are familiar with jamming the radar, especially the beeches have appeared frequently recently, and they have already had countermeasures.

The three jammers launched compound jamming on the enemy's radar from far to near to cover the J-3 fighter below.Only the enemy's short-range defense system that accompanied the tanks could organize several interceptions. The first round of shooting did not shoot down the J-10 fleet, but it broke up the formation.

Song Ning has never seen such a chaotic situation. In the past, the Indians always let the fighters form formations to avoid their own ground anti-aircraft artillery groups. This is the same reason that Lin Huaisheng did not let Pakistan's independent air defense missile battalion accompany the 119th regiment. .For an army that is not well-organized, such complex multi-service coordinated operations will inevitably lead to unpredictable situations.But today's situation is different. The Indian is completely desperate, as if he will disrupt the situation even at his own loss; now is the time to test his command ability.

The Sam 11 missile launched from the position near Sialkot, after losing the command correction, was forced to fly towards the jammer at an unknown distance, and of course it was destined to miss.

Zhao Lin saw the surface-to-air missiles flying away straight from the side. At this moment, his radar looked down and searched for targets approaching at high speed. These targets flew very low, but the speed exposed them.Just now, this batch of enemy planes disappeared from the field of view of the early warning aircraft, and now he found two of them.

The Jaguar is almost a white-picked target. India's plan to upgrade the Israeli radar for this old aircraft has never been realized, otherwise the R550 would have the possibility of attacking from a longer distance.But now, this kind of aircraft basically does not have air combat capabilities.

"The formation is disbanded, and the enemy attack aircraft will be attacked first, over."

He gave simple orders, and then went into battle.

The high complexity of this airspace made him very careful. He could fully understand the position of the army aviation unit through the information of the early warning aircraft, but the position of some enemy planes was unknown; now the enemy must be prevented from approaching to prevent them from harming the attack helicopter.

Two Jaguars actually flew towards Zhao Lin head-on. Obviously, they had some unrealistic confidence in their R2 magic missiles. According to the actual combat statistics of the Chinese Air Force, this old missile is as unreliable as the R550 missile carried by the MiG-27. Spectrum, it may be due to extended use and improper maintenance that the infrared components are not sensitive enough. There may be a chance to launch from 60 o'clock, but it is unrealistic to expect this old aircraft to occupy that position.However, Zhao Lin doesn't want to use PL6's omni-directional attack ability to overwhelm the opponent for the time being. His record today is destined not to stay on a MiG 8UPG, so he can take his time.

The dexterous J-10 fighter took the lead, dodged the oncoming jaguar, and rushed directly into the group of enemy planes flying in formation, quickly breaking up the formation.

During this period, the SAM-11 irradiation radar from the north has been tracking, but due to fear of accidentally injuring one's own side, the surface-to-air missiles have not fired. The missiles may chase after various reflection signals in the sky, and the identification of friend and foe does not always work.

The nearby Tunguska anti-aircraft gun system is not so taboo. After capturing the target, it will shoot blindly without identifying it. They know that there are not only their own people in the sky, but also the enemy.

Zhao Lin deftly controlled the plane, like an eagle among a flock of wild ducks.He dodges the anti-aircraft guns left and right and watches as a Jaguar is destroyed by his own fire.Another Jaguar following him was hit by a missile that was heading straight for him, and fell down.

The long-term continuous shooting of the anti-aircraft gun below shows that the people who operate this gun are of average level.The J-10 pulled up and threw off the anti-aircraft guns. The two 2mm anti-aircraft guns below stopped due to poor cooling.Zhao Lin turned to the last Jaguar, which was still flying tenaciously due south. The opponent tried to dodge, but the weak turning could not get rid of the J-30 at all, and instead slowed down a bit.

Zhao Lin used the radar locking mode of the cannon to automatically calculate the advance amount through radar ranging according to the identified enemy aircraft's wingspan data.

When the left and right wings of the enemy plane, unable to continue struggling, touched both sides of the twisted funnel-shaped front sight at the same time, he pressed the launch knob and fired a long string of shells.Probably a shell hit the bomb under the enemy's wing, and the enemy plane suddenly exploded in the air.At this moment, the same hunt is unfolding everywhere.The scattered J-10 fleet fought with the jaguars in the same formation, and fought a battle of great disparity. The only variable was the anti-aircraft firepower of both sides on the ground.

Chang Yong has always been skeptical about the ability of early warning aircraft to monitor ultra-low-altitude targets, so he always put the top radar on battlefield surveillance instead of ground search.Of course, this does not prevent him from destroying enemy tanks.He has few anti-tank missiles left and must use them wisely.

He saw flames spouting from the ground in the distance. Obviously, this was the enemy's mobile anti-aircraft firepower. Although these tanks have always been the nemesis of helicopters, their irradiation radars are currently attracted by fighter planes, and it seems that they are coming up. Good time to kick two feet.

In order to avoid the search radar, Chang Yong quietly lowered the altitude.

The counterattack of the Chinese artillery has already started. After the shell hit the ground, the huge damage radius formed by the fragments became a new threat. The huge smoke also blocked the shooter's sight. Chang Yong carefully controlled the height and passed through the smoke.Look for the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery to move forward diagonally.

Suddenly, a panicked Jaguar attack plane ran from the side to the front, and behind him was a Chinese fighter plane chasing after him.The shooter of Wuzhi 10 quickly turned his head to track the target, and used the front sight in the helmet to aim.

The 23mm cannon quickly moved into place.Immediately started shooting at the Indian jaguars.The Indian pilot was hit by the side air intake without being prepared.Then the engine on this side caught fire and the plane went down.The J-10 pulled up quickly, and the pilot looked at Chang Yong angrily.

The brave Pashtun soldiers on the ground rushed to the Indian tanks bravely, attacking from the weak side.

They stubbornly used the crude bazooka in their hands to challenge tanks and helicopters in the air, and have destroyed many tanks and 2 Chinese helicopters that flew too low.

When other troops were conducting pre-battle briefings, they were doing the unshakable noon prayers. Therefore, most soldiers never figured out the situation on the battlefield, and they didn't even know that there would be Chinese aircraft participating in this battle.Lin Huaisheng has always avoided cooperating with these reckless troops in the open, because he can guess the consequences of this.

The red-eyed Indian Kashmir United has already driven the Tunguska anti-aircraft tank to the front of the position and launched flat fire. Under the fierce artillery fire, those desperate Pashtun soldiers were swept down like mowing grass, until the tank was often The carnage stopped only when one of Yong's anti-tank missiles was destroyed.

While the battle is heating up.Inside the Defense Ministry in New Delhi, Minister Singh is also anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle. Within 3 days, the Chinese army has advanced to the junction of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, India, and it seems that the entire Kashmir will be isolated.But at this most critical moment, his two generals began to go their own way. All he can do now is to hope that Meneam and Spanga can at least play better according to their own ideas.The United States promised to dispatch the air force to contain China starting this morning, but it seems to be a little timid, and the strength of the Chinese air force has not been weakened.
