Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 669 India Gate

There were more screeches in the air, this time discernible from the east.Explosions fell around the jeep one after another, and it was obvious that the enemy was going to kill the commander; he was seriously injured and still tried his best to hold on to the car and resisted falling to the ground, even though the shrapnel had already scratched his stomach and his intestines flowed out.The commander knew that he had to survive this round of volley, and he had to hand over the command to his successor before he could fall down and go to the other side of his life.But this time, the continuous shooting rashly launched under the unknown crosswind is bound to become more and more accurate with the continuous correction of the impact point.

A shell fell from the sky and fell directly on the jeep, blowing the Commander and the Land Rover to pieces.

The power of these shells is indeed insignificant, but as long as it enters the range, its lethality is not small against soft targets. If an infantry cannot clear the drones above their heads, it can still hit them even if they hide behind obstacles. With excellent persistence and excellent firepower, there is nothing more deadly on the battlefield than being entangled with this weapon.

At the same time, He Fan saw Yahini's chariot from a distance, separated by a group of White Tiger Division chariots desperately fighting back, the enemy's huge convoy had very few tanks, mainly infantry chariots and various wheeled vehicles. They have nowhere to run, and they are surrounded by Chinese and Pakistani tanks scattered from north to south. He Fan and Yahini agreed to adopt the same plan. They are not in a hurry to launch an attack, but only when the enemy's small-caliber weapons cannot threaten them. Control the enemy at a distance and wait for the air power to finally settle the battle.During the period, the Chinese army used the captured enemy radio stations to launch a psychological attack on the last enemy, but did not receive a reply. Several Wuzhi 10s flew over the Yamuna River and launched an attack, destroying the gathered there with 57mm rockets. 2 companies.Then the desperate remnants of the enemy began answering over the radio, calling for surrender, and some Indians, waving white shirts, came out of the armored grave in whole file.They are not stupid. Although the sound of guns from the south can still be heard, they are no longer as intense and approaching as before. Obviously, the rescue force from New Delhi is also weak, and there is no hope.

The Chinese army aviation unit landed on the battlefield filled with gunpowder by helicopter and began to accept the surrender of the enemy on the spot.Some bombers flying to the battlefield carrying ammunition were stopped temporarily, and they flew south instead, dropping bombs on the Indian troops who had escaped from the encirclement. The main force of Huang Zhenbei was chasing these inescapable enemies, but Lin Huai survived. If he doesn't plan to complete a new encirclement now, he is exhausted and unable to fight anymore. He just hopes to maintain the current front line and wait for New Delhi's air defense positions to be pulled out one by one to launch the final blow.

Zheng Hui's fleet is fully loaded with bombs and anti-radiation missiles, flying over the sporadic preset bombing points in the exchange of fire, and the enemy infantry below has gathered several streams of people, heading towards the surrender assembly area where the Chinese army slid out, and soon bombed the people The order of the SDF was also cancelled, because the drone found the place where Spanga's lair was said to be, and it was obviously more worth striking.

During the entire campaign, if there was one thing that Spanga did most successfully, it should be his ability to hide the command. However, after the drone bombed a large number of wired communication facilities, Spanga's command was forced to rely on In addition to wireless communication, he must rely on the radio to find the main force in the encirclement, which of course will lead to the position being detected.

Zheng Hui waited for the 10th round of escorting the J-300. Those planes were refueling in the area not far to the east. The Indian Air Force was ready to move in the morning, but after the most sneaky flying snake team's probing attack was frustrated, its plan to dispatch the ground troops on a large scale seemed It was delayed. After the anti-aircraft firepower of Spanga itself was wiped out, the Chinese Air Force can already selectively attack any ground target. If possible, it can even do some testing on the outer positions of New Delhi and the S[-] system. .

"I am Huang He. After you fly to the area, you are going to drop bombs tentatively."

AWACS sent new instructions.

"Taishan understands."

Zheng Hui looked at the monitor to confirm which J-10s were approaching. Now that the air force is so rich, J-16s hardly have the opportunity to be dispatched alone, as if these fighter-bombers are too delicate to complete the task independently without the fighters.Zheng Hui likes to listen to those J-10 pilots newly transferred from various fighter pilot divisions across the country to talk about air combat excitedly, as if they are the patron saints of bombers. Whenever they talk about shooting down an Indian drone When discussing topics such as man-machine or helicopter, Zheng Hui would smile indifferently in the cockpit. He would never remind others on the radio that he is the Air Force's record holder for shooting down. That would seem too vulgar and unnecessary.Someone in the AWACS is his friend, and he always understands in this situation, deliberately talking about the shooting record of the formation leader Zheng Hui, and slamming those boastful guys. Generally, the radio station will become quiet, I don’t know. The stunned young people with high sky and thick earth will suddenly feel like they are looking up at the mountains, and after that they will not talk much about shooting down drones and other topics.

Of course, having said that, this kind of cooperation makes Zheng Hui have little chance of further improving his record. Although his heavy fighters carry various types of air-to-air missiles with long and short ranges at any time, they usually have 10 more than the J-2, but those dexterous ones, The J-10 lurking nearby will always shoot the position first, and usually the cautious Indian fighter will turn around and escape.

"Recently, the Indians have rarely dispatched, or slipped back as soon as they were dispatched."

Sure enough, the J-20 pilots who were coming 10 kilometers away began to talk about such topics again. It sounds like these guys who came up from the round of battle are quite anxious. Seeing the end of the war, they can't get anything.

"I launched two medium-range missiles yesterday, but the early warning aircraft did not see the result, and it may have shot down a Mi-2."

"If you find a target, don't rush to occupy a favorable position to launch medium-range bombs. It's better to lead them to a more certain distance."

Several drones are monitoring the ground at a lower altitude. Later, the J-16 fleet will tentatively drop some bombs. This is a strategy to alert the enemy. Once the enemy's hidden vehicles and personnel start to transfer, it is easy to be caught by the drones Or the pilot in the back seat of the J-16 can use optical equipment to see, and then judge the location of the headquarters, or use laser pointers to launch a second precision bombing.

The No. 2 machine began to drop bombs at a designated pine forest, with a relatively long interval, so as to cover a large area.The height of the airdrop is very high. Since accuracy does not matter, the height can guard against sneak attacks from small-caliber artillery or portable missiles on the ground.

The falling bombs exploded violently in the woods, each separated by about 500 meters.Zheng Hui stabilized the plane and entered automatic level flight, which was beneficial for the guide behind him to observe with optical equipment.Of course, drones fly lower and are not disturbed by clouds, but they are easier to be attacked by the control network (in fact, sacrificing drones to attract anti-aircraft fire is also an unwise way to find the enemy headquarters)

"Captain, I saw some vehicles running out of the woods, but I can't see them clearly, can we go lower?"

"RWS recorded 10 nearby search radars, let the drone and the command observe, we circled and waited."

Zheng Hui vetoed the request of the pilot in the back seat. He decided to stay in the air at 8000 meters to guard against those field anti-aircraft firepower. At the same time, if the enemy air force is dispatched, this altitude is conducive to his mastery of maneuverability.

The drone flew to the area where the enemy convoy was advancing, and saw some Land Rover jeeps and 2.5-ton trucks running out from under the burning forest. Some jeeps carried follow-up launchers, which could be seen as clumsy anti-tank missiles.But none of this proves that there is a high-level command below.

A strange-shaped vehicle came into the sight of the rear headquarters. It took the most dexterous analysts of the headquarters 2 seconds to recognize that it was an 8-link follow-up launcher using a Humvee as a carrier. This is an American-made launcher. Avenger air defense system.In this war, a new face has appeared in the arsenal of the Indian side; compared with the diverse Indian army, the Chinese army has a total of several types of weapons, which can be described as lackluster.

Stinger missiles are installed in the follow-up launcher of this US-made short-range air defense system, which is obviously the most dangerous opponent for low-altitude combat aircraft that underestimate the enemy.The drone tried to turn away, and the enemy's launcher had already started to rotate. At this moment, a J-16 high in the sky had irradiated the anti-aircraft vehicle with laser light. It was obviously the most worthy of priority among all the fleeing vehicles.

Using a heavy laser-guided bomb to destroy such a small target is indeed a little too powerful, and the Avenger was blown to pieces in a loud bang.The huge circle of scorched earth that formed in the bushes after the explosion could be clearly seen from the air, with nearby vegetation still burning.The Indian vehicles that arrived later turned around and fled tactfully.

The early warning aircraft saw the formation of Indian fighter jets reappearing and crossed over New Delhi in an attempt to occupy a shooting position. Judging from the signs, they planned to conduct a medium-range missile shooting.As the distance approached, the number of enemy aircraft seen by the AWACS increased from 2 to 4, maintaining a very dense formation.Zheng Hui's formation continued to maintain a high ground and posture to reconnaissance the ground. Now it has reached the juncture of the plan to startle the snake. It cannot be disturbed by the new, less serious enemy situation. Of course, he really wants to maintain the altitude and wait for the opportunity to add to his personal record. Yes As far as pilots are concerned, the standard for measuring their ability has always been to shoot down a few enemy planes. Few pilots will boast in front of their peers that they knocked down another Humvee today.In the comments of his peers, Zheng Hui is indeed a very lucky person. Most of his shooting downs came from easy medium-range ammunition tools, and most of the enemy planes shot down did not find his existence.

Zheng Hui soon sensed the opponent's radar signal. He guessed that the enemy plane might launch an R27 attack. This is the style of the lion or rhino squadron. If the opponent does not notice the threat of the J-10 and continues to approach from the south, they will soon will suffer.At this moment, the J-10 formation began to turn to the target, and the instructions of the lead plane were concise and effective.

The 4 J-10s have not really reconciled with the J-16, which makes them out of the enemy's radar vision. After the last Indian A50I early warning aircraft left, all the aircraft here are under the surveillance of the S300's warning radar, but these The Army radar does not seem to communicate closely with the Indian Air Force. Judging from the decisive head-on approach tactics implemented by the timid Lion Squadron, they probably did not detect the existence of the J-10 through the data link or ground command, or the location of the J-10. In the case of voice guidance, this phenomenon of misjudgment is very common. After all, when two fighter jets fly in opposite directions, the relative distance change may exceed 1 km per second.

The J-10 refrained from using radar until the last moment, biting all four Su-1000MKIs from the 2 o'clock area 4 meters above the opponent at once. The R30 missile in the air immediately lost its command and flew all over the sky. However, the Lion Squadron launched the missile just to lose weight and escape, and did not expect to hit the target.

The lion formation seems to have adopted a scattered escape method, which caused a plane to fly to the northwest. He could have turned 40 kilometers in front of Zheng Hui and slipped away in a large circle calmly, but there was no instruction from the early warning aircraft, so the plane did not It is not clear where Zheng Hui is at each moment.Zheng Hui's foresight prevented him from speeding up and evading unnecessary all the way north while avoiding the opponent's R27 missile.The powerful electronic jamming equipment on the J-16 can destroy the opponent's radar irradiation, not to mention, he noticed that the opponent's radar disappeared very early (you can even see the enemy's scattered routes on the data link, obviously there is neither irradiation nor instructions ), after he quickly turned around, he did not find signs of active radar activation similar to that of the R77 missile.The early warning aircraft did not stop his adventure. Zheng Hui saw 1 km away, two R2s were flying all the way. They were still waiting for the target to be illuminated or instructed to guide. Obviously, when the enemy plane's nose could not point to the target, neither of these two recover.

Now he is in a favorable position again (not only against the enemy aircraft, but also relative to the J-10), he decisively dropped all the 4 tons of bombs, and chased after him with all his strength. In the south, he flew straight west and crossed the Yamuna River before turning. Zheng Hui used the data link to sneak up. He turned on the target at a distance of about 10 kilometers. The Indian Su-15 has been conducting electromagnetic interference on the J-30 in the rear hemisphere. , but it cannot cope with the J-10 at such a short distance. Any interference and chaff at such a short distance will be easily burned through by the powerful beam of the phased array radar.

Zheng Hui realized that he had been locked by the surface-to-air missile in New Delhi for a while, but he still chased after him and fired two medium-range bombs within the distance visible to the naked eye. To be on the safe side, he chased the target all the way and kept the radar locked. Put pressure on the target until it is destroyed over New Delhi.When turning, he realized that he was less than 2 kilometers away from New Delhi and almost hit the S30 muzzle.However, the J-300 in the rear, which switched from attack to cover, conducted an attack on the S10 radar and fired a small LD300 anti-radiation missile, forcing the radar to shut down.

The harsh air defense sirens sounded over New Delhi, this is the second time today.A fighter jet was seen/heard roaring over the city before landing on a street market near India Gate, Delhi.The violent explosion was obviously different from those cruise missile attacks that hit the suburbs, and the plane fell directly into the downtown area.Then there was a second explosion, followed by a Chinese anti-radiation missile that hit an empty position in the center of the city (the radar escaped).

The People's Self-Defense Forces, who were gathering nearby and were ready to suppress the rebels at any time, began to fire their guns to celebrate. They thought they had shot down an enemy plane, but the Indian people in the city thought differently from these lunatics, whether they shot down the Chinese plane or not. Aircraft, all mean that the enemy's attack is getting closer.
