Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 685 The Final Escape

This formation is very much in line with the current situation of the Pakistani Air Force. There are experienced pilots and lack of actual combat experience, and more are young pilots who are completely inexperienced. Of course, Hassan may not agree with this division. He thinks he has He's an old pilot, and even shot down enemy fighter jets.

Sami is not very interested in tasks such as electronic reconnaissance. The tactical role of the KZ900 pod is limited. Only after repeated reconnaissance can it play some tactical roles such as determining the enemy’s radar activity area. The radar frequency band used by the Indians in actual combat has no There are too many secrets to speak of, unless Patriot missiles are invested, there may be some mystery, and the value of reconnaissance will be greater; he is only interested in important targets that can be directly hit.

At the briefing meeting before takeoff, a special message from the intelligence service was suddenly inserted.According to reliable information, Krinasi Gandhi, the speaker of the upper house of India and the leader of the opposition party, has completely broken the wartime alliance with the BJP. In the early days, they once called themselves brothers and vowed to carry on the war to the end, but their friendship gradually disappeared with the unfavorable situation of the war. At present, the main conflict between the two is with Kahan, who asked all members of the cabinet and the legislature to stay in New Delhi to ensure morale ; Opponents believe that this is a very irrational behavior, and the Indian government is likely to be wiped out.

The Speaker himself has already contacted the United States and is preparing to evacuate New Delhi first with several Congress Party ministers.If they flee, they will inevitably go to a city in the south. The worst possibility is to maintain a government supported by the United States and take over the regime and military of several states there.

In the end, the task assigned to Sami, in addition to guaranteeing reconnaissance, is to keep an eye on the radio at all times, wait for orders from the headquarters, and not to throw away bombs casually, or there may be opportunities to drop bombs on high-value targets.

As the commander of a fighter squadron, Sami has never performed such a special task. In the past, this kind of dirty work was only heard of by the Israeli Air Force. Such special operations can only be carried out with very accurate intelligence and reliable internal support. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the plane to identify the target. He wondered if the spies of the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency had reached the point of being miraculous, and could manipulate the car of the cabinet minister.

The formation quickly flew over a large hilly area west of New Delhi. The average altitude here is 200 meters. There are some enemy infantry positions, about 80 kilometers away from the main air defense positions in the urban area. The Indians concentrated all the long-range missiles in New Delhi. The area is highly superimposed, but the defense area is greatly reduced. The surrounding areas of New Delhi are actually very safe.

Major Latif, who had little experience in actual combat, kept his level flight with fear. Although he was ordered to detect the enemy's radar, the main purpose was to provoke the enemy's radar to turn on, but he didn't want those guidance radars to stare at him, and the alarms sounded at intervals to let him Nervousness.

On the radio, Second Lieutenant Hassan began to chatter and report what he saw from the data link, the small target hovering in the distance, it seems that it may be a drone used by the Indians to carry out weather reconnaissance missions, and Sami did not compare it with him. Hit these things of low value with bullets.

Then Hassan began to mention the number of remaining Su-30MKIs in India, and the possibility of the Flying Snake Squadron being dispatched again. It seemed that Major Latif, who deliberately wanted to have a higher rank than him, knew that he had shot down Flying Snakes. .In fact, Hassan had pretended to casually mention the shootdown at the newcomers' welcome dinner, at the squadron briefing, and on various other occasions, each time making Latif uneasy.During the intermediate training, the major once criticized Hassan for his rough landing movements, fast approach speed, and hard landing. In short, he lacked the talent to fly a plane; And unlike his short-lived comrades in arms, he survived and gained some results.Now, Hassan seems to be trying to show off. For Latif, there is indeed pressure. No matter how beautiful his landing is, after all, there is no reliable shot down. For combat troops, shooting down a drone is very important. Unspeakable.

"Captain Lionheart, we have the latest information," the command plane mentioned the new information.

"Viper, I'm listening..."

"There may be an important target. We will take the U.S. embassy's vehicle and leave the city on the Bulwall route. The specific location has not yet been determined. You don't need to pay special attention, but please wait for further orders and don't drop the bomb in advance."

"clear."

The old man's heart skipped a beat. Recently, his wishes always come true. I hope this time will not be an exception. The time the plane can stay in the air is limited, so this kind of temporary mission is actually very difficult to coordinate.He saw that Chinese fighter planes had already taken off from Chandigarh Airport, and he was probably planning to make up for it.Whether the war should also include assassination, most people have different opinions, so the military can only actively prepare, and eventually such a task is likely to be cancelled.

"Captain Lionheart, the target convoy is already on the way. The convoy consists of 9 black and white vehicles, and the important target is on one of the station wagons."

The datalink, roughly in sync with the voice, shows the enemy's route out of the city, obtained by the spy.At this moment the convoy has left the city, and it is about to camp near Birwall.

"Your formation abandoned the original plan and rushed to Gurwal quickly, where there was a laser pointer, but the time was short."

"clear."

Obviously, the hands of the Intelligence Agency or the Ministry of Internal Affairs have reached the hinterland of New Delhi, and even knocked down the laser pointing equipment here, but if the enemy convoy is driving fast, the opportunity is still fleeting.

"Viper, will the attack be approved?" the old man asked presciently.

"I don't know, we need to wait further."

"clear."

"Boss, why did you let us rush over and not allow the attack?" Hassan asked, he still had some respect for Sami, and he still had to ask the old man about such incomprehensible things.

"It could only be for political reasons, but you have to be prepared to use your laser pod to show me the target if the ground indication fails."

"But I'm having a hard time identifying those vehicles from the air? I mean, I don't know where that bastard is in the car?"

"If there are nine cars, you aim for the third or fourth car, maybe we can reimburse the whole fleet."

"Then are we still waiting for permission from our superiors?" Hassan asked suspiciously.

"You just have to wait for my order."

Major Latif heard the conversation between the two and seemed to be messing around, but he decided to play deaf and dumb.He knew that the pilots who survived the war until now were either those like himself who hid in the rear with strong personnel relations, or lunatics like Sammy. In short, he must not get involved in this matter.

On the ground, a convoy of 12 vehicles of various types is speeding towards the south. There are always some deviations in the news of the spies. The Speaker of the Bundestag, Korinasi Gandhi, is sitting in the back row of the last Cadillac bulletproof car, usually the ambassador However, before boarding the vehicles, the Speaker had the foresight to propose to the Americans to change the original order of vehicles. He knew that New Delhi had been thoroughly infiltrated, and any pre-arranged things would be impossible May be sold to the enemy by hidden wavering elements.He was never worried about air strikes. He had visited BJ 4 times and knew that the Chinese would not be unscrupulous. Even if he got the information, he would not really blow him up, especially if he was accompanied by a senior entourage from the US embassy. But he worried that deranged Pakistani spies might ambush him with snipers, who were said to never shoot the last car.

This time the Americans instigated him to break with Kahan, just to start a new one. The deadline for inciting the populist People’s Party has come, and it is obviously time for the Congress Party to come forward to clean up the mess.

The side of the road is very clear, and there are no cars leaving the city. Those who should escape have already left the city. Now there is only the right side, where there are endless military trucks, pulling reserve soldiers and weapons into the city.The Americans told him that they had observed that the Chinese army was preparing for a new offensive from east and west, which was completely different from the judgment of the Indian army. With such a bold detour, if the offensive unfolds, New Delhi's days of freedom of movement will end within days.

Gandhi glanced out the window, and the soldiers on the truck next to him looked at the convoy blankly, neither confidence nor despair could be seen on their faces, only dazed.He didn't know what these boys from the southern countryside were thinking. They just plunged into the bottomless pit dug by Kahan. He didn't know how many Indian lives would be needed to fill this pit. Maybe the Chinese would take Kashmir The way to make New Delhi famine for a while, who knows, anyway, he finally escaped.

Gandhi noticed that the soldiers no longer looked at the convoy, but looked up at the sky. If it weren't for the sound insulation of the two bulletproof cars, he should have heard the roar of the plane in the sky.

Hassan in the air easily found the fleeing convoy from the zoomed-in view. He thought it would be difficult, but there was only such a convoy traveling from north to south on the road. Although the number did not match the information, it was obvious that the big man was there. in.

The ground laser pointer did not appear, and then the command plane sent an order to cancel the mission. Such an order, Sammy was not surprised at all.He had already guessed that the Chinese would not dare to attack the convoy of the American embassy in the end, but no one could restrain his hands and feet, and he didn't care about his official career, let alone who else would the Air Force staff officer care about?He just wanted to give the enemy a little color.

Hassan heard the order to cancel the attack on the radio, but he still stood firmly on the side of the lieutenant general. He aimed the reticle at the convoy's fourth station wagon, and then pressed the laser launch button to steadily track the target's movement. The targets are arranged very densely, and it is indeed possible to do it in one pot.

Kahan was leaning on a cane, looking at the sparse participants in the venue. Among those who left without saying goodbye recently, some ran to the south, some ran to the north, and the rest should be the most determined personnel , except of course the foreign minister, who has almost become the mouthpiece for the Americans to urge their lives.

Just as the Prime Minister was about to speak, there was another loud noise from outside, which seemed to be closer than yesterday's one.After a while, an officer ran in and announced to everyone that it was another tactical missile attack, which blew up an army facility on the north bank of the Siamuna Canal, and incidentally also blew up the Ashoka stone pillar left by the Mauryan Dynasty.

"It's crazy, can't we take some effective defensive measures?" Kahan said, hitting the ground hard with his crutches.

"Until Patriot missiles are deployed, it's very difficult to defend against their ballistic missiles. They are familiar with Russian anti-aircraft weapons, and electronic jamming is always effective," Singh said.

"Let's get down to business. This morning, I received a letter from the Speaker of the House of Lords," Kahan said as he shook off a piece of paper, and he could see a few lines of writing on it. No matter what was written, the letter was obviously not long.

"Yes, he and his family betrayed the oath they had made to the people, and they also gave up God's test of him. I believe he will suffer retribution."

There was another whispered discussion at the venue. Many people originally thought that the Prime Minister would talk about the withdrawal of the government at this meeting, but they didn't expect it to be the same old way.

The military officer responsible for directly reporting the military situation to the Prime Minister walked in again, this time did not directly announce anything at the venue, but whispered in Kahan's ear.

"Really? It's really unfortunate, I didn't expect it to be so soon," Kahan said unfortunately, but his brows stretched.

"Gentlemen, Gandhi and 4 other ministers were attacked by the enemy air force on the way out of New Delhi. Our enemies finally took the step. They bombed the diplomatic convoy of the American embassy. This is indeed a meaningful thing. I have to call the President of the United States immediately, and I want to state our position as soon as possible."

The meeting was interrupted, and Kahan hurried out of the conference room, leaving stunned officials behind. It was obvious that he would seize this opportunity to reverse the situation diplomatically; but Singer was not optimistic about this. He knew that the Americans would not Change the established policy because of the death of a diplomat.

Sami's two 2kg bombs exploded in the convoy, directly destroying the first 250 vehicles, and the last two heavy bulletproof cars were also overturned by the air waves, and they were directly on all fours, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and deaf in both ears. The chairman of the house and an accompanying commercial counselor of the embassy climbed out of the car in embarrassment. The enemy fighter jets in the sky disappeared into the clouds, but the voice never left.The two could only board a military vehicle and return to New Delhi.

He Fan, commander of the East Road Assault Force of the Chinese Army, stood on a Hongqi 17 anti-aircraft combat vehicle and listened carefully to the preparations made by the commander of the air defense company.His plan relies heavily on this anti-aircraft weapon instead of the Hongqi 16, and he is not interested in any system that cannot follow the tank at any time.

As early as the Battle of Assam, he inspected the Doyle M1 system and the Hongqi 17 system at the same time. These two weapons are the few of the PLA to use tank chassis, and they can follow tanks to fight at any time. Bicycle independent combat capability.Although the battlefield surveillance radar of the Hongqi 17 is completely myopic and can hardly adapt to high-speed fighter jets, if the enemy only dispatches armed helicopters or drones, it almost completely falls within the business scope of this missile.

He stood on the chassis and glanced at his watch.

"The preparations have to be accelerated. I expect Lin Huaisheng to set the offensive time after 5 to 6 hours. He always launches the offensive in the afternoon."

The other officers below looked at each other in blank dismay. They originally planned to launch an attack at a certain time within 48 hours. Everyone expected that it would be at least tomorrow, but it could not be today anyway. However, He Fan always guessed Lin Huaisheng's plan very accurately. It is also true.
