Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 657 People's Self-Defense Forces

Zheng Hui is very sure that he has found the key point of the enemy's attack formation, which is a link between the preceding and the following; the enemy's forces and weapons are dense, and the size of the group is obviously more than one regiment. It seems that after a little reorganization, this force will be thrown into the attack among.Behind this army, traffic was rolling, and new troops were gathering, but the formation had not had time to expand. It seemed that the Indian commander was out of control and unable to put all his forces into battle in an orderly manner.According to Zheng Hui's judgment, if the bombs are dropped accurately, the enemy's brave but chaotic offensive can be temporarily stopped, and the pressure on the front of the Pakistani army will be reduced.

"Very well, the clouds are high, we descended to a height of 2500 meters to drop bombs, and we must completely cover the target area I designated."

Zheng Hui asked the command plane, and immediately got a reply that he agreed to attack. In fact, at this time, no one can make decisions for him. Only his observation of the battlefield is condescending and intuitive. He must use his own judgment to decide the attack In the area, the result of bombing will directly affect the changes in the entire battle situation.

Pascianita's command was indeed as he observed by Zheng Hui. He was busy and at a loss. He was a bit out of touch with the reserve team in some important directions, and he didn't even have time to deploy anti-aircraft firepower in key assault areas. As a result of Ni's command, Spanga did not leave him time to familiarize himself with the entire deployment, but the attack time was very tight.The Indian generals also knew that the activity of the enemy's air force would increase several times after sunrise, and a large number of inaccurate weapons would be thrown on their heads at night, so they put all their eggs in one basket and launched an attack directly. During the attack, the troops carried out many times Hasty adjustments.Of course, during the offensive, the troops fought to the death, and quickly compressed the enemy's position, and detected the position of the enemy's headquarters through technical means. The Army even smashed all the last 15 usable land tactical ballistic missiles into the target area. However, the 11 missiles that were successfully launched were still scattered all over the battlefield, failing to achieve the necessary tactical purpose. In the end, tanks had to be used to resolve the battle.However, the Pakistani 1st Armored Division used tank bulldozing shovels in a short period of time to build simple fortifications, making it impossible to attack overnight.

Perhaps in Yahini's view, it is extremely stupid to treat tanks as fixed turrets and thus give up mobility, but Deputy Commander Younis has the opposite idea. Act as a support point to push back the conservative experience of the enemy, especially when the enemy lacks air support.The seemingly stupid tank wall that Younis deployed around the core position actually worked. When a large number of enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles rushed to the front and climbed over the one-meter-high earth wall, Bi Raohu exposed its weak bottom Armored, some underpowered tanks even got stuck in that position pointing their muzzles into the air, unable to move for long periods of time.Of course, this gave the second line, half-buried behind the earthen wall, Pakistani Keke a chance to shoot calmly. The result of the final fierce battle was that a large number of Indian tanks were destroyed, and instead became a roadblock blocking the rear troops.Although Indian tanks have essentially dispersed the command of Pakistan's 1st Armored Division, Younis's arrangement seems to be very suitable for the needs of individual battles. Every stationary tank, every rocket launcher Soldiers don't need much command, as long as they know where the position they need to hold on to, the soldiers who have nowhere to retreat can only do one thing, which is to fight to the death against the approaching enemy.

Now, it's finally time for the air force to rescue the ground troops. Zheng Hui's swarms formed at a distance of 200 meters and flew towards the rear of the enemy's attacking troops. The follow-up troops flew over to the low-lying area where the follow-up troops were chaotically assembled. He was sure to be a bomb. After all the shots were thrown, the enemy's offensive in this direction would come to a standstill. He chose to attack here because he thought he understood the situation below. Of course, he also avoided the direct chaotic battlefield and large-scale accidental injuries.Under extreme circumstances, the J-16 can surpass the H-6 in terms of ammunition load. It is a weapon capable of dominating the ground battlefield. Sometimes this aircraft can indeed exceed the definition of a tactical attack aircraft.

The plane roared and flew over the enemy's head. Zheng Hui chose the altitude so that most anti-aircraft guns and shoulder-fired missiles could not reach him. The altitude and sparse clouds would affect the accuracy of bombing, but the enemy was scattered in a flat area of ​​about 4 square kilometers. On the passage, it is very beneficial for him to carry out carpet bombing.What the flying medicine needs to do is to accurately calculate the bombing time and the bombing interval.

No one has any anti-aircraft firepower to interfere with the level flight and horizontal bombing calculations of the fleet. The accuracy of the bombing is based on the radar’s measurement of the ground speed, so that the computer can calculate the initial velocity of the bomb when it leaves the pylon, and predict the approximate landing point. Any change in speed or attitude would make the bombing calculation fall short, but such a thing did not happen.There were only a few anti-aircraft gun pulse radar illumination nearby, and they were easily identified by the police system, and Zheng Hui decided to ignore them.

The bombs fell to the target area at a certain interval, and the pilot in the back seat could see a carpet-like fire net on the ground behind him, as well as the shock wave arc produced by each 250 kg bomb when it exploded. The appearance of such an arc-shaped air wave that can be distinguished in the high altitude is a kind of devastating force. When it is enveloped, the human body is swept into the air like torn clothes, and then slowly falls, and the light armored vehicle is overturned and rolled.

"Yellow River, this is the Yangtze River. After we dropped the bombs, the enemy's attack channel was blocked."

Zheng Hui lightly reported the results of the battle to his superiors. He was convinced that his judgment was correct, so without further ado, the headquarters would soon obtain a more detailed description of the battlefield from the Pakistani or Indian radio stations.

At the moment when Zheng Hui dropped the bomb, the Indian artillery positions set up in the woods ten kilometers behind the enemy also suffered a precise counterattack from the Chinese artillery. The Indians followed the advice of the Americans and deployed the barrel artillery and rocket launchers in the same direction. In fact, firing at a certain time interval and at an elevation angle greatly increases the difficulty of artillery radar detection and calibration. Such measures can increase the time for positions to be measured several times, but Indian artillery did not follow another suggestion from the Americans. Use this time to transfer positions, but according to the needs ahead, take the risk of finishing half of the base (30 rounds).

After the hail rocket launcher was launched like a whirlwind, the 152mm artillery was still firing, and it was completely exposed to broad daylight. The artillery radar easily found these howitzer artillery positions.Lin Huaisheng's long-range rocket launcher and 155mm artillery began to hit the target head-on.The propellants piled up randomly on the position were always ignited by fragments in the first round of shelling, and then the entire position was engulfed by continuous explosions.

India is gathering a million-scale reserve force around New Delhi not far to the south, but every time Lin Huaisheng's troops destroy a technical weapon on the battlefield, it makes India's huge rear force even weaker. In the battle to defend New Delhi, now they were ruined by the wrong command.Spanga was once the wisest commander in India, but in the absence of air force reconnaissance and fewer and fewer drones that can be used, he can only rely more on intuition rather than battlefield intelligence to make judgments. This made his initial grasp of the battlefield situation deviate, and as the situation developed, the deviation became larger and larger.Even at the most critical moment of the Pakistani army in the encirclement, Lin Huaisheng still held several strike weapons in his hand and refused to take them lightly, including a battalion of tactical ballistic missiles and several companies of 155mm self-propelled howitzers. He knew that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly. , must keep one hand in case of emergency.

Yahini's tanks kept looking for a breakthrough in the enemy's rear, trying to break into the siege, and finally he found the junction of the Indian 26th Infantry Division and the White Tiger Division. It was thrown behind, which gave the observant Yahini an easy-to-find flaw. He could see the transport convoy and self-propelled mortar units of the White Tiger Division behind, while the infantry divisions in the direction of the neighbors had only about A battalion of infantry in action.He has broken through the Indian defense line more than once, and he is well aware of India's command system. If the regiment-level units of neighbors do not belong to the same unit, then there is no direct communication between them. It was impossible to solve it, so he decided to cut in from here. Before the follow-up large forces arrived and finally surrounded the enemy, he had to rescue the old battalion commander Younis, although he had the last time with him 26 hours ago. While Younis was on the phone, the old officer shouted that he was going to be shot for desertion.

Without major losses, the well-renovated Type 96 tanks lined up at the front, followed by Yahini's 7 tanks, and 3 T84s stayed one kilometer away on the side to monitor the slow-moving forces in the north. In the Indian Infantry Division, Yahini felt that 3 T84s were enough.

In front of the tank attack line is a row of tents belonging to field hospitals. There is a huge red cross sign above these tents, reminding the enemy air force not to mess around.Yahini ordered the 2nd company to detour a little, not to trample on the wounded soldiers.

The moaning wounded soldiers on the stretcher heard the ominous roar of tank engines. They all knew that the last reserve team of the White Tiger Division had been put into battle two hours ago, and the 2th Division had no tanks at all.Someone poked his head out of the tent with a cane and saw a tank with a star and moon logo galloping past. On the side of the tank was written: "The final goal-New Delhi." The tank will be piled with medical supplies. The box was crushed to the ground, and more and more enemy tanks drove past behind. The expressionless Pakistani commanders were looking around, searching for targets.

Less than 500 meters behind the field hospital, the light sword air defense missiles on duty are lining up, waiting to catch fighters.On the follow-up launcher of each launcher, 8 missiles point to the sky, like clumps of thorny bushes.

The Indian commander was smoking a cigarette waiting for a target indication from a distant surveillance radar.The tanks rushed up from behind them, and the machine guns rang out, completely destroying the equipment, and the Indian soldiers who couldn't figure out the situation scattered around in panic, but the tanks ignored them at all.

The Indian self-propelled mortars that stayed behind the attacking troops and were firing non-stop encountered the first row of shells. These weak tanks had no means to fight back, let alone escape.By the time the tanks made their way through piles of burning wreckage and onto the front 105mm howitzers, the artillery there had all fled.Yahini ordered the ammunition trucks to be opened fire, and then directly crushed these small-sized towed artillery to save ammunition.Although the superiors requested that the acceptable Indian weapons should not be destroyed as much as possible, he felt that now is not the time to consider these issues.While he was in action, Lin Huaisheng's headquarters, which had mastered the progress of the drone throughout the process, began to implement fire support.The shells landed in an area within 1 km in front of Yahini's tank, opening the way for Yahini's actions.

Yahini began to encounter some scattered counterattacks, from self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank missiles fired from jeeps, BMP tanks scattered everywhere, and began to fight back with 30mm machine guns.These hasty counterattacks were quickly cleared up by the tank group. As Yahini expected, when he concealed the kill, the enemy infantry divisions on the side were completely indifferent. The Indian troops lack the initiative, especially the second-rate troops. They need Ask for orders from your superiors layer by layer before you can act.

Yahini climbed out of the turret, and could see layers of enemy tanks 5 kilometers away, turning the direction of the chassis and gun barrels. Obviously, the attacking enemy was forced to stop the offensive and prepare to fight after receiving the news.Yahini could roughly estimate that the size of the enemy was at least one regiment. He didn't want to head-on. The purpose of decompressing the old officer had been achieved, so he turned to the south to escape. At this moment, a large number of Chinese and Pakistani troops had broken through the enemy's defense. Cross the Yamuna River and kill here, the nearest one is just 5 kilometers away.

When the U.S. satellite captured the details of the first line of contact between the two sides and transmitted them to the big screen at the ongoing White House emergency meeting, when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was called by the President and asked about the situation, he said frankly that the situation had become clear, and the Chinese New Delhi will be surrounded in a very short period of time. Even if the Air Force continues to strike targets in Pakistan, it seems that it will not be able to contain it.

Just as Spanga's group on the battlefield was facing destruction, the empty Connaught Square in New Delhi, 120 kilometers away, was full of people and noisy. Prime Minister Kahan personally carried out the flag-raising awareness of the "People's Self-Defense Forces" here. held.

The People's Self-Defense Army, which is concentrated here, is composed entirely of volunteers. The squadrons are arranged in square formations, standing around the large fountain in the center of the square, and crowding the entire square. The intelligence chief Chamain hiding behind the government officials Counting, there are a total of 80 squadrons, about 16000 people, the size is more than a brigade, the combat effectiveness...he doesn't know.

The members of these troops, mainly from the grassroots organizations of the Indian Party in Uttar Pradesh, are some of the most fanatical Hindus. They are the grassroots forces that the Kahan regime can always rely on. Charman knows that many squadron leaders standing in the front, They have all been imprisoned for various violent crimes. Of course, the usual case is the cruel and ruthless "lynching" of their own neighbors, or those who hold different political opinions or religious beliefs.After Kahan came to power, he ordered the Ministry of Justice to grant amnesty several times for similar cases, thus recruiting these loyal thugs. Now it is time for Kahan to ask for repayment. Kahan seems to have no confidence in the Army's capabilities. He no longer trusts the intelligence agencies or even the Americans. Instead, he believes that those who can truly perform miracles are those who have the power of faith. He began to demand that the People's Self-Defense Forces be equipped first, hoping that they can realize the prophecies of the astrological masters .In fact, according to Charman's information, although the astrological master Molosh, who predicted the victory for the prime minister, is still staying in his mansion in the southern part of New Delhi, he is sending his subordinates to transfer property every day, and may slip away at any time.
