Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 754 The Last Airport
Several tons of bombs fell from the pylons and flew towards the target in unison. They were not fast, and it took a little luck to destroy the target. However, this kind of ammunition was cheap and could be used for many extra missions that appeared on the battlefield.

For the Air Force, there is nothing more worthy of destruction than the radar of a surface-to-air missile. Every time a radar is destroyed, it means that the corresponding launching unit is paralyzed. Exposure always makes pilots highly nervous.

The coordinates of each joint attack munition are set differently, the purpose is to make their impact range larger, the chassis of these radar or auxiliary vehicles are not armored, it is easy to destroy, if you can destroy one of the front If there is a vehicle, it may be able to block the vehicles behind, and then you can make additional attacks a few times.Of course, even if a fragment hits the radar antenna, it may disable the entire air defense force. The Indian army is not very good at repairing complex equipment in the field.They discarded a lot of equipment in the battles in the north. The reality proved that they were not very good battlefield repairers. Most of the time, due to the lack of spare parts or the timidity of the mechanical repair troops, they discarded some completely repairable equipment every time.The Chinese army has established an Indian equipment repair center in Chandigarh, using the nearby railways to concentrate the damaged weapons collected from various battlefields for repairs, and also purchased some parts from overseas. Some of these repaired equipment are used to supplement the Pakistani army, and some are used for equipment. The newly formed Indian Army.

Twenty-four 24kg bombs bloomed around a 250-meter-long road. Judging from the steady and silent image of the drone, the landing points were too scattered. None of them directly hit the target or the road, and most of them were far away from the enemy convoy. Farther away, the accuracy of satellite-guided bombs is indeed slightly lacking, but it is more suitable for strikes outside the defense zone.

Looking down, the drone operator decided the attack had failed.But the enemy convoy stopped.The guard troops who opened the way jumped out of the car and threw the truck, and fled westward in a scattered manner. The radar troops in the rear also abandoned their equipment. Obviously they did not know that the Chinese Air Force did not have enough ammunition for the second strike.

Just like the astonishing performance of the ambush just now, it is obviously an experienced army, maybe too much experience, they know very well that in this case, the farther the escape equipment is, the safer it is.

Zheng Hui waited for the drone to find the most important target in the stalled convoy, update the target position, and at the same time pay attention to the new air situation.Southern F15 started to move around again, but they should not cooperate with the Indian Army, they just carried out routine harassment through early warning aircraft.

Two J-2s that had dropped their bombs blocked up for a confrontation.The two sides are separated by 16 kilometers and have entered the climbing stage, usually just to make themselves enter a sufficient height first and take advantage of the range advantage of the medium-range projectile.

In this case, the single-seat F15C will have a slight advantage in climbing speed, but the J-16 cannot retreat for the time being, so that the enemy will take the opportunity to bully and threaten the lead plane that is preparing to drop bombs.

Song Ning at the rear mobilized fighter planes to intercept. He knew exactly how close the enemy plane was, and the S400 in the rear would open fire. However, he hoped that the Air Force would solve these problems. Of course, everything had to wait for the last J-16 to drop its bombs. He instructed the nearby standby Double-click the formation to approach the target on a route that avoids ground radar to the greatest extent.

Zheng Hui flew towards Xiping and dropped the bomb.After the bomb was detached from the pylon, it was lighted, and the air combat capability was restored. He saw from the monitor that the enemy plane had already gained some altitude advantage by double-clicking. Currently at an altitude of 10000 meters, it was obvious that it was going to shoot first.He was going to approach from a low altitude, interfere with the enemy's radar targeting, and force the enemy to send out at least one fighter plane to deal with him; Enemies come over.

Zheng Hui doesn't like to back down, pointing his butt at the enemy, it's hard to make the record rise further, but he saw two of his own planes flying straight from north to south from the monitor, he knew that he would not be the protagonist today, as a former reconnaissance As a bomber pilot, he has spent half his life under the watchful eyes of his opponents, fighting with various radars. He really wants to experience the situation of not being detected by radar.

The enemy plane immediately turned to accelerate the pursuit, but immediately smelled something, turned around and ran south, maybe the S400 radar was turned on to scare them, maybe it was the retreat of the Chinese Air Force under the advantage of 3 to 2, which seemed extremely abnormal.Song Ning also had no way of coordinating the radars of the surface-to-air missiles so as not to scare them. In addition, when mobilizing the stealth aircraft, some peripheral fighters must follow, and it is easy for the opponent to see the tricks, because the electronic warfare aircraft responsible for suppressing ground radars are not invisible.

The two stealth planes did not speed up to catch up, but turned back angrily. Obviously they had a red line and they would not go too far.Zheng Hui has had enough observations these days to know that they will refuel once in an area far enough away, and then continue to cruise for a while. If there is no suitable opportunity (usually not, because they are quite picky about fighter jets), they will return home.The current results of these aircraft are limited, but the deterrence of the opponent has been revealed. At least the Americans need to think twice about opening an air channel and withdrawing senior Indian officials.

After several rounds of fighting in the air, it took more than a dozen slow bombs to destroy most of the stalled Aster missile convoy. Once they stopped, the accuracy of the satellite-guided bombs was enough.Pasade now needs to count his treasures with his fingers.If those missiles weren't enough to protect a large enough area, he'd have to shrink his defenses.

Out of political considerations, Kahan banned any high-ranking officials from leaving New Delhi before the Chinese army approached, even including key members of the "Nehru-Gandhi" family. He worried that these influential members of the Congress Party, Will act on his own way outside of his control, in order to carry out his determination, he did not hesitate to kill his foreign minister, as a warning to others.

Of course, his political vision is indeed far-reaching, and he has a thorough understanding of the calculations of the Americans. The purpose of the Americans to support a new government in Mumbai seems to have failed, so he can only be tied to a chariot to participate in the ground battle.But now, the plan to evacuate these executives from New Delhi has been put on the urgent agenda again. India’s north-south division has become a way out to stop losses. Without these people, there may be further divisions in the south. There are signs that Today, a large number of Maoists are preparing to take advantage of the chaos to take over power in several southern states.

In Pasade's headquarters, Major General Kate Augustan, the US military adviser, has been in contact with the air force in the rear. He shoulders the evacuation order directly issued by the president, and has successfully bribed the officer of the equipment unit guarding Safford. If necessary, the officer could let U.S. aircraft use the airport, despite Prime Minister Kahan's strict prohibition.At present, Kahan and the Indian Ministry of Defense's ability to control the regular army has become weaker and weaker, but he is preparing to deploy the anti-aircraft artillery unit controlled by the People's Self-Defense Force near the Safford Joan Airport, and seems to be aware of the loss of control of the situation.

The distraught Brigadier General Augustan did not wait for the air force's plan. The air force seemed to be intimidated by the new aircraft dispatched by the Chinese, and began to re-evaluate the feasibility of the plan.Brigadier General Augudan couldn't help being angry, the enemy's situation was deteriorating every hour, delaying was tantamount to suicide.

According to intelligence analysis, the Chinese ground forces in the south do not yet have strong air defense capabilities, and the opportunity to escape from the air still exists.He could carry out this plan while all the enemies were busy consolidating their positions, but after a day or two it was not clear.

The Chinese Air Force and surface-to-air missiles have never attacked unarmed aircraft, including transport helicopters belonging to the US military entering and exiting New Delhi. This seems to be an opportunity that can be exploited, but the reality of the siege and the emergence of those stealth fighter jets have made the Air Force begin to be restrained.

"Why is the Air Force's operating area farther and farther away from New Delhi?"

He asked Major General Wink, the US military commander in charge of the Air Force, on the phone.

"The enemy launched a stealth plane last night. I can't let the pilot take the risk to go deep. The enemy has a certain advantage." Major General Wen Ke said calmly, and he really mentioned the stealth plane.

"You just need to do a short operation to clear the corridor and land a VIP pickup, and I don't expect the enemy to open fire on that kind of target."

"The Air Force must rely on strength to act, not the enemy's compassion or other accidental factors. Now, the new enemy situation has changed the situation." The major general said, as if determined to disobey the president's order.

"How are you sure their stealth plane is still around this morning?"

"There are certain signs of their appearance. There will be one or two electronic jammers following in the distance, usually doing nothing, just suppressing ground radar when necessary."

"In any case, we must carry out the president's order. If you don't send a transport plane, at least let the air force cover an Indian Air Force Boeing 737 to leave here."

"Too dangerous, it might even be shot down by enemy anti-aircraft missiles."

"Have a try."

"I have to study it before I can give an answer."

When the call ended, Wenk made no concessions.Augustan slumped on the chair. He didn't see Marshal Pasade all morning, and the personal officers who always surrounded him were gone. They seemed to be hiding, which seemed strange, but the brigadier general didn't have time to think about it now. .

There is a map in his hand, on which the detected enemy air defense coverage area is drawn with red arcs. In fact, as the Air Force Major General said, the entire New Delhi is within the range of long-range missiles, but an Indian secret service The pilot of the squadron said that he can fly a certain distance at low altitude in the urban area, and then turn to the south, where there are some enemy low-altitude anti-aircraft guns.

Ogudan has collected a list of 14 people, all of whom are senior cabinet officials or members of parliament who are willing to abandon Kahan and escape. He originally wanted to send them away by ground transportation, but he was worried that Kahan's People's Self-Defense Forces would Get in the way and get in the way.Unexpectedly, the Chinese army's assault was too violent, and it suddenly appeared in the direction of Indira Airport, cutting off the land passage.

"Brigadier General, it's almost time to meet the Prime Minister." A captain came over to remind him, "Lieutenant Colonel Yelinsky will be there too, and he will report the latest enemy situation to the Prime Minister. Maybe the sound of enemy artillery can convince Kahan The prime minister abandons this dead city."

"That stubborn old man won't listen to us. For him, death is just a new beginning. He will not allow others to betray him and escape." Aogudan lit a cigarette and took two puffs. Smoking is prohibited, but Indians' military discipline has never been strictly maintained, and he will inevitably be infected by such an atmosphere and become lax.

"Not necessarily now. The enemy attacked the Supreme Court yesterday. He should give up his illusions."

"How's the shelling outside? I'm not used to not hearing the shelling all morning."

"The shelling of the entire north has stopped. They are probably hoarding ammunition. If Meneyam surrenders, more Pakistani troops will be added here. The satellites have photographed that the Pakistani army is mobilizing from the vicinity of Fort ***. A large number of personnel The railway in southern Jammu is being repaired, if this is the case, 5 people will enter India within a few days, and the new railway line can solve the problem of their upper limit."

"My God, is there any more good news?"

"Good news, the Indian Ministry of Defense announced that they have regained some of the airports. Our satellites show that it seems that the Chinese army is taking the initiative to retreat and wait for supplies."

On the airport of Indira Gandhi Airport, there are a large number of wreckages of warplanes parked crookedly. The huge passenger plane was used as a bunker by the Indian army. It is now in dilapidated condition. The runway is full of destroyed Indian tanks. These chariots Attempts to use the searchlights at the airport to launch a counter-charge at night were easily repelled by Chinese wheeled assault guns 1 km away.The Chinese army briefly captured most of the airport, but in the morning the regular Indian army retreated in exchange for a more courageous People's Self-Defense Force. These troops took advantage of the airport's underground passages and regained some places, which made the competition stalemate.Even if the Chinese army occupies the surface positions, it will not be able to completely eliminate the enemy in the ground.

Wang Zhenbei missed the battle for Quetta Airport, so he didn't have enough knowledge of airport operations, but Lin Huaisheng didn't have any timetable for him. He temporarily asked the troops to withdraw some to avoid the howitzer counterattack near Fort Libitola.Waiting for the ammunition fuel supply.

Wang Zhenbei sent his tank troops to the east to receive the battle line left by He Fan when he counterattacked, and at the same time prevent him from making mistakes, but He Fan finally stood up alone. Currently, his tank troops simply stop there to monitor Agra, while waiting overhaul.

He is now waiting for the drone to collect intelligence to destroy the enemy artillery and headquarters in the shallow and deep depths.Several drones are currently in the process of confirming the location of the target.From interception to communication analysis, there are at least 6 or 7 corps with at least 2 people concentrated here, and the headquarters commanding these people seems to be very close to me, but the location cannot be confirmed.

The drone flies over 500 meters in the air, looking for the direction of the detected enemy signal.Soon, a large number of Land Rover jeeps and 8-wheeled armored vehicles were parked in an area of ​​several square kilometers, but the main command facilities could not be distinguished.Obviously, the equality of officers and soldiers within the People's Self-Defense Forces is doing well. Coupled with its flat command system, it is not easy to find senior officers like other Indian armies. To carry out operations, there are no easily identifiable communications, security, or air defense units near the headquarters.

Wang Zhenbei scratched his head. He really didn't want to waste the motorcycle hours of the tank troops running back and forth, and he didn't want to ask Lin Huaisheng to launch a few missiles to attack the scattered mob. How should he take advantage of himself?
