Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 618 Precise Kill

He turned the periscope very slowly and observed carefully with 10X magnification.Behind a bunch of trucks, I saw a rotating antenna, hiding in a corner next to the train.

Like a medium-sized battlefield surveillance radar, perhaps part of a close-in fire defense.He pressed the right-hand mark button, and a green triangular light spot stayed above the target and flashed continuously.Then he continued to turn, and there were Indian soldiers in twos and threes on the streets and train platforms, and there were some old-fashioned twin-barreled 23mm guns behind the sandbag fortifications.Then there was a Laura flak hidden in the bushes, the turret turning from time to time.It was a slightly more important goal, and he marked it as usual, and then continued to move.Behind the dirty and dilapidated building, there was a long row of oil tank trucks parked. He thought about it. Obviously, this goal was not a priority and could be left to the Air Force to solve.

Two dark green shadows drove at a low speed from behind the tanker, and hid in the shadows after a while.He suddenly realized that this was what he saw during the day yesterday.

It wasn't a T72, the turret was much bigger, and he waited for a third tank to show up, the tank's turret was pointing at him, so it was definitely a Leclerc.Yahini shook his head. He admired the fact that Indians can always collect all kinds of spot goods from the arms market.These tanks are not enough to make him nervous, but he knows that this means that his range advantage will be offset. Although the two sides may not be able to penetrate the opponent's front with a distance of 6 kilometers, the opponent may still hurt his tracks And the side, that is to say, I can't stay for too long.

Another vehicle in the company reported seeing a Sam 11 launch vehicle, so far the bad news is no command vehicle, and the good news is no anti-tank missile emplacements.It is indeed difficult to spot all the important targets from such a distance, especially when they are not moving.

Yahini reported to the headquarters that he will launch an attack within a few minutes, hoping to create an opportunity for those air forces to rush into the enemy's air defense circle. He can't guarantee how long his firepower can last. Not what tanks are good at.

An electronic reconnaissance plane in the sky is continuously tracking the scattered launch vehicles of the Sam 11 missiles, and the radars of these firepowers have been watching it closely, waiting for the plane to enter the range.This kind of missile has independent combat capability, but if the information provided by the warning radar is lost, the air defense capability is better than nothing with its own fire control radar alone.

At the same time, the reconnaissance plane is still constantly analyzing the position of the long-range radar at the core of the enemy's air defense position, as well as the elusive radiation source. The enemy's method of using the radar of old fighter jets and vehicle power supplies as active interference sources is not new. The reconnaissance plane can distinguish , but the anti-radiation missiles launched may not be able to distinguish these differences.

Various types of fighter planes and electronic jammers carrying bombs are also being assembled. The pilots learned that there will be a window period, when the real threat of Sialkot will disappear, leaving only some peripheral armor and individual missiles .

The Indian troops in the town clearly felt the threat. Early warnings found that many targets were gathering in the distance, and the electronic reconnaissance unit in the city also discovered unusual communications nearby.The enemies in the air seem to be a little afraid of the Beech and dare not approach it. The fire control radar equipped with this missile is very scattered and has a relatively strong burn-through capability. Electronic warfare outside the area cannot completely offset its effectiveness.Coupled with the fact that the local air defense forces are good at defending against anti-radiation missiles, the enemy seems to have no way to do it all the time, but then again, if there is no attempt, why gather?

While Yahini was waiting for orders from his superiors, he discovered another phased array radar in a mobile state. After the radar stopped, it erected a huge radar antenna and aimed it at the south. It was probably a spare radar. , which is a trouble for tank gunners in the due east, aiming.

At such an extreme distance, gunners like targets with relatively large cross-sections. If they are not sure about hitting the antenna, destroying the power supply vehicle is also a good choice.

Yahini finally waited for the order from his superiors to start firing. He temporarily decided to modify the target. He suddenly felt that it was more reasonable to shoot the tanker. If he formed a wall of fire, he could stop the enemy tanks from firing at him.Of course, he didn't know if there was any oil in the tanker.

All tanks fired lasers at their targets at the same time, and the enemy didn't notice, and then the tank group fired laser-beam missiles.Firing such a slow weapon at such a distance is a test of the gunner's nerves, but it is the only means of ensuring accuracy.

It takes more than 15 seconds to irradiate the target with a laser beam, which means that the second shot must use a grenade or an armor-piercing projectile with a more erratic trajectory.Because laser irradiation cannot be used for a long time, necessary cooling must be obtained,

After a long wait, Yahini's tank hit the tanker, a target too big to miss.As he wished, the jet penetrated into the oil tank full of fuel, causing a violent deflagration in an instant, and even raised a rather spectacular mushroom cloud in the northwest corner of Sialkot.All other trains stopped on the branch line were not spared. A large number of tankers were detonated, and a large number of artillery waiting to be unloaded was also blocked by the fire wall expected by Yahini.

However, the scale of this wall of fire exceeded his imagination. In fact, the rapidly spreading smoke also blocked his side's sight. Fortunately, the first round of shooting by the 1st company destroyed many important targets.

A small hole was left on the rotating phased array radar antenna that the Indians were debugging, and an extremely important piece of technical equipment was scrapped.The rogue 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was destroyed, and the radar vehicle with a tracked chassis not far away was also burning.

Just as the smoke blocked Yahini's line of sight, making it impossible for him to clear the reported battle results, the electronic reconnaissance plane in the sky quickly discovered the disappearance of the radar threat below.The warning radar at the core position disappeared, leaving only some small independent radars that were still on.

The high-altitude electronic jammer quickly spoofed and jammed the fire control radar of the Sam 11 that was still on, causing it to lose its tracking ability. Although these radars still had the ability to detect within a certain distance, they lost the indication of the search radar. The ability to spot the target again is greatly reduced.

The accompanying jammers accompanying the attack aircraft formation began to release jamming chaff at various altitudes, destroying the air surveillance radars of those short-range defense systems that can fight independently.

Yahini was still scouring a sea of ​​flames he had created, far larger than the one he started with his earlier attack on a tanker truck, burning the northwest corner of the town of Sialkot.Of course, Yahini didn't know that Meneam was desperate for this attack, hoarding a large amount of fuel in the underground oil depot, and his blow ignited the pipeline connected to the oil depot.Lin Huaisheng wanted to use his own set of precise strike methods to preserve the city, but it was completely defeated by Yahini's first attack.

He saw various vehicles trying to escape from the smoke, and instructed the gunner to aim at one of the communication vehicles pointing vertically at the antenna. It is almost impossible to shoot moving targets at such a distance, and several consecutive shots failed to hit the target. Among them, some irrelevant armored vehicles were hit.

3 Indian Leclerc tanks bypassed the sea of ​​fire, ran over the rickety military vehicles, and grabbed the front.They saw Chinese tanks on the high ground in the distance, and immediately launched an attack.

The warning equipment on the Yahini tank sensed the laser ranging, but he was unmoved and continued to shoot other targets.The Leclerc tank fired the first round of shells almost at the distance where the tank's fire control was just able to work, and all of them missed far.Yahini didn't want to fight, so he ordered the tank to back up and withdraw from the battle. He had no logistical guarantee, and he didn't want to engage in meaningless shooting with the Indians. The rest was up to the Air Force itself.

The Leclerc tank is still desperately driving out of the smoke, looking for the target.However, it broke away from most of the fleeing convoys, moved horizontally at high speed from west to east in the direction of the radar ground search of the first batch of arriving J-16 fighters, and was easily identified.The fighter plane then conducts target identification and instruction to the tank through the pod.The 250kg bomb that fell from the sky blew up the heavy tank that was about to shoot after an emergency stop.The remaining 2 vehicles were too late to run, and were blown up by the rest of the fighters in the formation.

The sea of ​​fire still somewhat destroyed the pilot's identification of the target, but the Indian troops were swarming and fleeing this area. Once these maneuvering targets moved, they could be easily distinguished by radar.The instruction pods of the J-16 and J-11bs fighters can search for the fleeing enemy convoy from 10 kilometers away, and find important targets from it.

The recovery of India's air defense network did not come as quickly as expected.The J-16 carrying a large amount of ammunition took the lead in rushing to the sky above Sialkot from an altitude of 6000 meters, and gave priority to searching the core equipment of the enemy's air defense network below to ensure that its air defense capabilities cannot be restored.The dexterous J-10B fighter jets search for the armor or Doyle system at a lower altitude through the instructions of the reconnaissance aircraft and the pilot's vision.

The electronic reconnaissance plane pointed out the position of the radar irradiation of the Sam 11 that had been found to be shut down to the drones in the sky, and they would carry out the final attack on these most dangerous targets.

Within 5 minutes, more than 6 Sam 11 missile launch vehicles and 10 near-fire forces were destroyed by various precise firepower, and the communication command network between enemy air defense positions was completely destroyed.The air defense network covering the perimeter of Sialkot disappeared.

The last ones to appear were the JH-7 fighters. They carried unguided air-to-air bombs and rushed directly to the battlefield to bomb the attacking Indian ground forces.With the support of a large number of self-propelled artillery combined with weapons, the enemy infantry still took advantage of their strength to attack forward, but after encountering several rounds of bombing, they finally became the end of their strength.

Explosions in the city of Sialkot came one after another, and all attacks on the town were strictly confirmed by optical equipment. The air force did not abuse anti-radiation missiles and TV-guided missiles that might lose targets and data link communications in urban areas and fly randomly.After all, this is an ally's city. Although Lin Huaisheng is unwilling to take too many political risks, although the fight is in the way, for him, this is almost the last town that can tolerate being kidnapped by the enemy; what he will face in the future , are all targets in India. Although he also has the obligation to prevent accidental injury to civilians, if the enemy dares to deploy facilities near civilian residential areas again to induce anti-radiation missiles to deviate from the target, he will definitely accompany them to the end.

Lin Huaisheng ordered an armored brigade of the Pakistani First Armored Division to launch a counterattack under the cover of the air force.He dropped this end and ordered the headquarters to cross the India-Pakistan border and into the Indian side.He doesn't have high requirements for the troops behind, just take back Sialkot, which threatens the flank, and that's it.He knew that as long as Admiral Meneam's long hand was interrupted, he would be stuck in the mountain and unable to get up and down.

Although the Northern Group of India has not been completely isolated geographically.In India, there are still continuous high mountains of Himachal Pradesh connecting the entire Kashmir, but from a military point of view, the most convenient passage for Meneyam's army to go down the mountain has been blocked.

The Indian army in Kashmir is not only difficult to threaten Lin Huaisheng's logistics line anymore, but with the Chinese army's offensive to the east and the progress of He Fan's western troops in Ladakh, the Indians' own logistics supply line has become at stake.

The Pakistanis have always focused on the gains and losses of the city of Fortress, but now not only the senior military officers, but even the middle and lower ranks understand the pros and cons.The 35 people in Meneyam have been dragged to death on the plateau by India's biggest spoils in this war-the bombing of the fort.

Now blocking Lin Huaisheng's road to New Delhi, only Spanga's [-] elite soldiers and a large number of reserve troops with insufficient equipment and training are left.According to Xu Jingzhe's intelligence, the Kahan government did not dare to deploy these newly recruited troops around New Delhi because they were worried about them.And the Indian leftist guerrillas have indeed stuffed a large number of their own people into these troops. To what extent they will play a role in accelerating the collapse of the Kahan regime is still unknown. Of course, Xu Jingzhe’s contact with these organizations has been quietly. It started silently.

For several days, Chinese cruise missiles did not attack New Delhi's surrounding air defense forces and barracks facilities, not even missiles flying towards Bareilly Air Force Base at night, while Indian Su-30 fighter jets resumed patrol flights over the capital .From the perspective of ordinary civilians who have no information, all this seems to indicate that the situation has turned for the better?Of course, in the minds of those who know some of the battle situation, the sudden stop of the Chinese harassment of New Delhi is just a reflection of the impending collapse of the Khan regime.

Even if no bombs are dropped, it cannot conceal the reality that the Chinese army is 350 kilometers away, and more than 200 dead bodies are dragged out of the Delhi slums every day. A new view has begun to pervade among the intellectuals that it is the end It's time for this war.

During the routine high-level meetings twice a week, more and more cabinet members disappeared. Most of these people broke their vows to live and die with the country, packed up their belongings secretly and fled.Since Kahan is unwilling to heed the opinions of the West, form an interim government, and prepare for the "worst case", the United States has come forward to woo a group of people to transfer to Mumbai to prepare for the worst.
