Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 766 Chasing and Killing
Colonel Anbari, who was operating the plane, quickly cut off the oil circuit to prevent the spread of the wing fire, and used one side of the engine to make an emergency landing. This is the main content of the daily training of the Special Service Wing, which specializes in picking up VIPs. However, the general task setting is in the Nicely lit airport.What he is now facing is more than one side of the engine malfunctioning, and the usual mission assumptions do not involve the part that was hit by the missile.

Judging from the speed at which the plane lost altitude, it was obviously too late to fly to Agra Airport.There were hills below and it was pitch black. He took a few deep breaths and decided to fly to Mathura as much as possible, but Mathura might be under light control, so he could only plunge down according to the navigation information that could still be displayed.The navigation showed that there was a big river near Mathura. If the moonlight was right and the river was not foggy, he could see the reflection on the river. This was almost a last resort.

The colonel kept calling the nearby military airfield, hoping that the nearby army would send someone to rescue him, but there was no answer.Sure enough, when the plane was falling, he could only see a series of flames from a distance. He guessed that it might be the US military plane that was shot down just now.During the violent turbulence, the plane lost 70 meters of altitude per second. He tried his best to stabilize, slow down the falling speed, and continue to fly southeast. Now he can't count on the midpoint of the leap. Can he find a river or flat ground? These are all extravagant ideas.

"I'm Colonel Ambari, and I'm about to make an emergency landing. Everyone, please take your seats."

Singer, who was bleeding badly, struggled to get up from the ground, sat on the seat, and fastened his safety belt desperately.He felt that his eardrums were hurting, and his body seemed to be torn apart. The last moment might be coming.

In the hunting airflow, the plane went down to the shimmering waves under the moonlight...

All ground radars on both sides lost their targets at the same time when the plane fell to about 1500 meters, but the early warning aircraft could still see the plane fell to about 300 meters, and then disappeared.

The conversation in the cockpit that could be intercepted also disappeared at about the same altitude.Of course, it is not difficult to calculate based on the previous flight trajectory and speed. If the plane makes an emergency landing, its position will be slightly southeast of the area where it disappeared from the radar field of vision, probably somewhere northwest of Mathura.In the process of encircling New Delhi, the Chinese army once used tanks in this direction for a limited time.Containment breakout, enough room and support established, but not too deep.At present, the nearest Chinese army to Mathura is also 30 kilometers away, and it seems that it is too late to dispatch.

Xu Jingzhe immediately got the news that the plane might have crashed near Mathura. Judging from the time and movement of the plane after being hit, the flight was obviously under control, and it might make an emergency landing near the confrontation line between the two armies.His immediate reaction was, of course, to look for the nearest force that could be used on the map. Of course, if ground power was used, it would not take any advantage. The Americans and even the Indian army in Mathura were closer.

He suddenly had an idea that he could let his intelligence force rush to the scene first to take a look.Currently, he can use drones as relays to communicate with guerrillas in the area for most of the day.

Before, he had also been using the nearby left-wing guerrillas to monitor the movement of the US military at the Agra base. These guerrillas had been receiving Chinese weapons and financial assistance, but due to complicated feelings, they were wary of the Chinese army, which was not so easy. dispatched.Only when the two sides have a common enemy, there will be some mutual assistance, but Xu has been trying to send those intelligence and political workers trained from prisoners of war to the guerrillas.

Of course, arresting the Minister of Defense is definitely within the scope of unconditional cooperation between the two sides. After Kahan came to power, he brutally suppressed the separatist armed forces in various states. In order to eliminate these armed forces, he specially expanded the police force and repeatedly used the army. Ge has always been Kahan's vanguard. On the list of guerrillas, he is the second or third person after Kahan.

Xu Jingzhe quickly made a series of deployments and contacts. He first contacted the local guerrillas. His request was very simple. He asked someone to take a look at the scene, confirm Singer's body, and take a few photos.

The one who was sent to work in the local guerrillas was Rahim, who graduated from the first phase of the political warfare training class. Rahim was an activist among the captured people in the Assam campaign and participated in the Politically reliable, well versed in communications and political agitation through work on land redistribution, and a brutal struggle to sabotage the US-India intelligence network, Xu Jingzhe hoped that he would quickly gain command of several guerrilla groups in the region.If this operation is successful, it will be very useful for him to start the next step.

In addition, Xu Jingzhe asked the drone to be on standby as close as possible. He predicted that Singh might have satellite communication equipment in his hand, which was a shortcut to find him.At the same time, he asked Lin Huaisheng to send a task force to avoid the radar surveillance of nearby enemies by flying at low altitude, and quickly approach the area. If Singer was confirmed dead, the mission would be canceled midway.

A Black Hawk helicopter suddenly turned around over Mathura. His original mission was to rescue the downed American pilot, but he received a temporary order to abandon the original mission and turn to another direction to find the location of the crashed airliner and find the possible surviving Indians. senior officials.

The plane carried 10 soldiers from the Foreign Legion. Most of these ex-U.S. personnel came from the former Delta or Navy SEALs. They played the role of frontline thugs in the direct conflicts between major powers defined by the U.S. government with room for leeway.They quickly downloaded photos of the dignitary and were warned not to get too close to Indian troops, who could do the dignitary a disservice.

Agra is very empty nowadays, if the Chinese army realizes this, they can take Agra along the road with a quick assault, but for some purpose (generally believed to save face for the Americans) the Chinese army did not do this, That leaves time for Frings.

Major General Frings has been paying attention to this area. Of course, it is not that he has the foresight to predict that Singh may fall somewhere in the lower reaches of the Jumuna River, but that he has been planning to break out of New Delhi's troops, and Mathura The neighborhood happened to be the only way to break through.

The pilots did not see a large fire in the distance, or debris all over the ground, which is often seen in plane crashes.

The co-pilot began to search for nearby radio stations, hoping to find a call for help, but soon discovered a suspicious frequency-hopping communication nearby. Although the content could not be intercepted, this is a typical Chinese communication with the ground when using a drone to relay. The means of communication carried out by the troops.

"Charlie called the crow, there may be an enemy task force nearby, whether to abandon the mission."

"Maybe it's just local anti-government guerrillas, keep going until you find the turtle."

"Charlie understands."

When the pilot was talking to the headquarters in Agra, he saw the flare rising ahead and it seemed that the plane was fine.

"Crow, I see the flare going up, I'm going to check it out. Call for further support."

"Remember, you have only one rescue target, and don't carry anyone else on the plane."

"clear."

At the same time, it was not only the helicopters that saw the signal flare, the signal flare also pointed out the direction for a silent marching team on the ground. If it wasn't for this signal flare, they were heading in the wrong direction.

The guerrillas were poorly equipped, and there were even many female members. They were originally anti-government guerrillas near Gwalior. The task of moving and monitoring the nearby enemy situation; after nightfall, they suddenly got intelligence that Indian Defense Minister Singh may have crashed somewhere near Mathura, without any political agitation, just the name of Singh instantly ignited To the hatred of all, the Indian Army's 50th Airborne Brigade raided the central headquarters of Naxal's party two years ago, executing 150 men and women without trial.Singh later publicly praised the operation. When meeting the commander, he said: The reason why the previous government could not solve the Naxal gang was because it was too strict with the law, and he would never make the same mistake.

At the same time, a squadron of the Indian People's Self-Defense Force stationed in the small town of Mathura has just received an order directly from the Prime Minister's Office: immediately find the nearby passenger plane and shoot every surviving adult man.This army immediately stopped the task of forcibly collecting gold from the temple, and began to implement the most stringent order issued by the Prime Minister. The strange thing is that the order did not mention the name of the person, but demanded indiscriminate execution, including the crew members. of all adult men.

Colonel Ambari stood on the nose of the tilting plane and fired the last flare. The plane is currently parked on the Jumuna River. Except for some people being injured, there are no deaths. Everyone has witnessed this miracle a few minutes ago.

Most of those able to walk were crammed into one wing, but in such a small space, Defense Minister Singh was wrestling with several women.He pushed down the mother of the Minister of the Interior while escaping, and then tried to snatch the pilot's flare gun, trying to prevent him from sending out a distress signal, which finally aroused public outrage.Singer fought off several old women bravely, but was finally outnumbered and pushed into the river by the angry crowd.

He took off his cumbersome coat in the water and started paddling desperately.For him, the matter is far from over. He can't wait for rescue like others. This is the reason why he organized the captain to fire the signal flare.

He knew that the place where the plane made an emergency landing should be very close to Mathura, where there is a regiment of the Indian Army and a regiment of the Self-Defense Forces.Those self-defense forces are directly under the prime minister's orders, and the army may not necessarily obey their own orders.Singer knows that behind Kahan's kind face, there is never a lack of vicious heart to eradicate dissidents. At a certain moment in the past, Kahan, who was once as close as his father, should have been included in the blacklist that must be resolved unless there is a situation The exception would be that Kahan is directly pissed at the fact that he betrayed him.

He paddled hard, swam to the shore quickly, then took out the satellite phone from his trouser pocket, and started calling the number given to him by the US embassy. This number can directly call the US military in Agra, and the satellite positioning function of the phone should be able to The Americans quickly found him.

After dialing, he made a simple contact, and then followed the instructions to find a nearby open place to wait while maintaining the call state.

After a while, the rumble of rotors began to approach, and the Blackhawk helicopter ignored the cheering crowd on the distant river. They were ordered to find Singer immediately and bring him back. Singer's phone provided the coordinates.

The Black Hawk pilot put on his night vision goggles and quickly found Singer waving his hands in the dark. He began to look for a flat ground to land, but the ultraviolet warning device suddenly sounded.

"SAM Missile!"

The co-pilot yelled.

The aircraft immediately turned to one side and fired an infrared flare.

The missiles flying towards the Black Hawk were second-hand goods picked up by the guerrillas from the arsenal abandoned by the government army. Maintenance was very problematic, and the sensitivity of the seeker was not enough.The missile failed to hit the plane and exploded 10 meters away, but the force still reached the tail boom.This caused the plane to spin, and then fell heavily to the ground from a height of ten meters, and it seemed to be over.

Gunshots started to sound in the distance, and the guerrillas opened fire with Insass rifles and AK47s, but they couldn't see the target at all without night vision equipment.

Singer got behind a tree to observe the situation. He could see, through the moonlight, agile figures descending from the helicopter that fell after eating shit.These people did not rush to fight back, but quickly formed a formation. A commander made gestures continuously, and the troops began to retreat. Two people quickly came towards Singer. Obviously they could see Singer behind the tree at night.

"Mr. Minister, we were ordered to come to the rescue. Are you injured?"

"Some concussion on landing."

Someone quickly flashed a flashlight in Singer's eyes to observe the changes in his pupils, and then reported to his superiors that he had found the target and that two people in the team were injured in the crash.

U.S. troops in Agra told to go to the new evacuation site and wait for the helicopter.At the same time, the blocking personnel in front began to fire. Their firepower was extremely precise, and they quickly suppressed the firepower of the guerrillas. Within 30 seconds, about 10 guerrillas were knocked out.

Taking advantage of the opponent being suppressed, this army took Singer and carried the wounded, and retreated to the depths of the jungle.

The drone, which has been on standby at high altitude, intercepted Singer's communication through the Iridium phone, and roughly confirmed that the guerrillas exchanged fire was the US troops that responded to Singer.

The snow wolf troops carried by 4 helicopters quickly moved towards the target. When they took off, they only received ambiguous orders. Now they have received accurate instructions to capture Singh alive. If they resist, they can be killed, but they need to go around from the west of New Delhi. , the journey is far away, and I can't make it in a while.

The female guerrilla captain Priya has never seen such a scene. The enemy knocked down her fighters one by one across the night. The night has always been a friend of the guerrillas, but now the situation has changed.With a personal vendetta against the Secretary of Defense, she ordered the search to continue.

"Comrade Priya, stop your rushing and beating immediately," said Rahim, the instructor behind the radio, who is respected in the guerrillas but has no actual command authority. way to solve the problem.”

"What can you do?"

"Using the terrain, comrade, using the terrain, we must judge the enemy's retreat route and organize forces to implement an effective block. This is the principle of combat against regular enemies. It is clearly written in the combat textbook I brought."

"Don't talk to me about the dogma of Chinese military principles, and I can't read. This is how we used to chase after the enemy."

"But things have changed and our enemies are no longer the scumbags of the central police force."
