Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 64 The Accumulation of Errors

Using 4 light Thunder fighter jets to pursue the Su-30 of the brigade, this kind of thing can only be done by a lunatic, and Colonel Sami is such a lunatic.If the Su-30s in front turned around now, they would still have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, firepower, and electromagnetic countermeasures, but Sami had long known that the fleeing Lion Squadron was a flamboyant rookie unit.In all the confrontations in the past, they dare not fight in close quarters (the colonel himself has only heard the lion in the air in the radio call, and has not seen a "lion" with his own eyes), he judges these It is impossible for the guy to have strong adaptability, and he is probably terrified of being beaten and frightened right now.

The heavy load of the Su-30MKI became a burden for them to escape. When they lined up and accelerated, the Thunder team behind them gradually rushed up. Each of these Thunderbolts only carried two newly arrived Thunderbolt 2 missiles. Other than that, there are no other encumbrances (the three fuel tanks carried on take-off have also been abandoned by this time.)
"Fortress, when will Adam Bull's cover fleet take off?" Sahili asked anxiously on the radio, now he is full of fear of flying in the enemy's airspace, looking forward to those things that they usually don't look down on The MiG-29s of Trident Squadron came to cover themselves.A few minutes ago, those missiles that suddenly pierced through the clouds and flew all over the sky made the captain completely distrust the electronic reconnaissance/suppression capabilities boasted by the Air Force Intelligence Department.

"Torch team, Adam Bull's plane is still refueling and cannot take off now." The early warning aircraft truthfully informed.

There is really a big problem with the deployment of this operation. The Southwest Military Region Command, probably in order to demonstrate their joint operation capabilities to some big shots on the ground, dispatched about 30 aircraft (including many Adam Bull's MiG-29), these planes took off from several airfields noisyly, and some of the short-legged MiG-29Bs did not seem to be helpful for this mission, just burning fuel and engine life in the air.When the mission was halfway through, the fighter jets of the Trident Squadron turned back because they ran out of fuel. Now when they need to cover, these MiG-29s are lying on the ground and cannot move.

Captain Sahili gradually came to his senses. He kept checking the updated data on the HDD and found that there were only four enemy planes behind him. Is the intention of the enemy still part of a conspiracy?But no matter what, two Su-2s in his team gradually fell behind. He decided to let these two continue to maintain a straight course and fly straight to the border, while he led the front five to turn 30 degrees to the east. See if there is a chance, and turn around to a position where you can fire medium-range bombs.This is a relatively compromised idea, that is, it avoids immediately turning around and killing a bayonet with the enemy plane to see the red, and it does not wait for the enemy to easily occupy a favorable position, but this also allows the captain to disperse his own forces.

"Colonel, the enemy is turning to Amritsar, they are scattered." Said a wingman in the Thunderbolt group.

"Brothers, our opportunity has come, and I have been worried that I will not catch up with them. However, they are starting to make mistakes."

"Where are we going? Squadron leader?"

"Follow those 5 and kick their asses hard, don't let them get a chance to fire."

"clear."

"Abbas, hell, forget about the electronic warfare plane, you have to stop the lions for me. Drive them all to the sheep pen."

"Squadron leader, I'm still 120 kilometers away from them."

"Don't worry, as long as you block it a little bit, I guarantee that their commander will get confused soon."

Sure enough, Captain Sahili immediately fell into bewilderment and confusion. He found that the enemy behind did not pursue the other two Su-2s as he expected, but turned and chased him.And a pair of enemy planes in my direction at 30 o'clock are also turning around.Soon he and Abbas's fleet detected each other's radar beams.He made a wrong decision again and ordered to turn left in a course change. After completing this action, the recoil pilot could already see the Thunderbolt group that was chasing after him.Now all five lions are in an absolutely unfavorable position in the direction of the enemy at 2 o'clock.

"Torch Squad, the enemy plane behind you is already very close. It is recommended to dive and accelerate. Adam Bull's Trident Squad is taking off."

Helpless, Sahili had no choice but to follow the advice of the AWACS in a daze.He led the team and rushed to the ground that he feared most.In the captain's mind, he couldn't figure out what happened in the last 10 minutes. His team originally had 10 powerful fighter jets, but now only half of them are left. What is the reason?Of course, this kind of thing is not so easy to think clearly. Only Sammy or Captain Roll, who is taking off from Adampur, can understand the key points here. Many wrong decisions will eventually accumulate into a major loss of control. Only the pilots who have crawled over will know that the most taboo in air combat is meaningless disturbance, which will allow calm enemies to find opportunities slowly.

Mountainous region northwest of Amritsar.A 37mm double-barreled self-propelled gun with a tracked chassis is parked on a wet hillside.Corporal Commander Mohammad Hanif, in his baggy raincoat, stood outside the vehicle and had been scanning the northern sky with his binoculars for 10 minutes.Although the shape-forming antenna on this old artillery vehicle has been rotating 360 degrees, the PPI display inside the vehicle has always been just a flickering light spot.All radio communication in the car was also completely cut off due to the continuous electronic jamming by the Indians.The corporal just had an intuition that the enemy might be coming from the north, since the Jhelum Dam was just to the north.

Hannife never thought about hitting any important targets with this vehicle. Before he was deployed to this desolate place, his superiors told him that the main target was the Indian drones for cross-border reconnaissance, or wait until the ground was fired, You can hit the armored vehicles of the Indian infantry.This 37mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is a part of China's emergency military aid. It is obviously an old product that has been used for many years. Although it has a radar and TV tracking system on the surface, and even a simple fire control computer, it seems to be independent. combat; but all its working modes are based on manually setting the slant distance and manually operating the gun; so in the view of the corporal, this anti-aircraft gun seems to be more suitable for firing on ground targets with less maneuverability.

From the billowing clouds in the northern sky there came a violent flash, which the corporal knew was not real lightning, for the thunder was delayed.It was most likely an aircraft releasing tracer rounds.The corporal quickly jumped onto the chassis and slammed a few times on the hatch cover.After a few seconds, the gunner stuck his head out blankly.

"Quickly search the north, use the optical sight."

Before the words fell, a gray plane emerged from the clouds. It flew east for a while, then turned suddenly and turned to the lone anti-aircraft gun.

"What should I do?" the gunner muttered, he was still not very familiar with this newly acquired weapon, and at the same time he was worried that the plane would open fire on him.
