Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 783 Political Surrender
Before today, Fu Xiaoguang did not fully understand the meaning of the word trapped beasts, so he bravely challenged the trapped beasts.He slightly underestimated the enemy, thinking that the mercenaries fighting for money would choose to surrender in desperation, but to a certain extent, the coalition forces are not only fighting for money, nor are they just resisting for survival. They also have their own. The sense of honor, and its combat tenacity, is much higher than most of the Indian troops fighting on the mainland.

Air Force fighter planes came one after another, but the planes passing the battlefield at high speed had problems in target recognition. Fu Xiaoguang's two disadvantages began to appear. One was that he did not bring infantry; Top weapon stations to suppress enemy infantry.He can't spare his hands to shoot a laser beam, or throw smoke bombs at enemies.

Yelinsky's command launched several Scan Eagles and easily counted the number of opponent's tanks. They were determined to use the simplest tactics to make a way out.He knew that he had no way to turn back. Although he gave up protruding from the mountain pass in front of him, he could still choose to break out from other more tortuous routes or get closer to the main force nearby, but that was only the beginning of slow suicide.

Fu Xiaoguang had no choice but to bravely drill out of the turret and use a 12.7mm machine gun to deal with the enemy troops pouring in from behind the ridge, and at the same time indicate the target for the gunner through the communication system.He had no choice. If he hid in the turret, he would not be able to see these enemies at high places with the perimeter sight.

A Bradley fighting vehicle, hiding behind the wreckage, fired an anti-tank missile.The missile missed Fu Xiaoguang's chariot before it could press down the missile, but after the TOW missile descended, its wire brushed Fu Xiaoguang's cheek, almost cutting off his head.

As soon as he dodged, an infantryman emerged from behind the rubble and fired Gustav rockets at the tank from 150 meters away. The mercenaries realized that Javelin missiles were not as useful as these things in close combat.

The accuracy of the firepower launched by the coalition forces is an order of magnitude stronger than that of the Indian Army. The rocket exploded in front of the tank turret, and the jet drilled a half-meter-long hole in the wedge-shaped armor, which ultimately failed to penetrate the armor.But the hit itself greatly encouraged the infantry. The enemies on the front line had already seen that the opponent was alone and had many dead ends. They adjusted their tactics and outflanked them from the side without interruption.

Soon the enemy's tactics succeeded, and a 99 tank commander was shot and killed by an opponent sniper hiding in the commanding heights while operating a machine gun to shoot.

The enemy's precise shooting forced the other commanders to hide in the tank, but the coalition shooters still used large-caliber anti-materiel weapons to shoot at various equipment on the top of the turret.

Fu Xiaoguang could hear the sound of 12.7mm sniper bullets hitting the top of the turret one after another. He couldn't even point the vision device in that direction, so the frontal optical equipment would be hidden 200 meters away, and more than one firepower point could be easily hit. Bad.He knew that the enemy's accuracy and reaction speed were better than those of his previous opponents.

On the battlefield, snipers always try to shoot at the most vulnerable sighting equipment of tanks. Usually, their purpose is to make the tank withdraw from the battle, not to destroy the tank. But Fu Xiaoguang can feel that the situation today is very different. The enemy sniper The tactical purpose of the hand is even more deadly. The infantry carrying the rocket launcher is wandering around outside, but I can't see them.This is exactly what the enemy is aiming for.

At the same time, the enemy M1A2 tank protruding from the front bravely pushed away a large number of wreckage, and launched a challenge with the courage of a desperate battle.

Opponents who are threatened by the air are more willing to conduct close exchanges, which is completely unexpected by Company Commander Fu Xiaoguang.The gunner's scope had been hit once, leaving a crack that spread, but the gunner was still able to aim through the optics.

He fires a shell from one of the 2 tanks ahead, and rushes to cover himself with smoke, hoping to survive the long auto-reload time, and the enemy doesn't hesitate to fire directly into the smoke.The shells had a high trajectory and just knocked out the top machine gun.However, during this period, the 99 tank was hit 3 to 4 times by jets fired from various directions, one of which penetrated the side turret, but the jet was consumed too much in the process of penetrating the armor, and the flames caused were quickly extinguished.

The automatic reloading of the shells was entering the final stage, and a huge M1a 2 shadowed him, and he rushed into the smoke like a madman.The huge crack on the scope prevented the gunner from responding quickly, and the enemy rushed over at the fastest speed regardless. The huge size of the M1A2 took advantage of the impact.At the moment of this blow, the unprepared 99 tank immediately turned off, the automatic loading failed to complete the final pushing action, the four-linkage that controlled the loading action was twisted and deformed, and the ammunition got stuck on the bill of lading and could not be released.What's even more frightening is that one side of the 99 tank was jacked up and lost the support of one side of the track. The tank tilted over in an instant, while the huge opponent was still exerting power, trying to completely overturn the 99 tank.

Fu Xiaoguang called the nearby friends and neighbors, but the rest of the tanks had been separated by enemy vehicles and various wreckage.

Several fighter-bombers flew over the valley at low altitude in an attempt to identify them visually, but the enemy deliberately released all kinds of smoke. For the planes that were too fast and were always on guard against missiles, it was still difficult to find the target.

The pilots can see that the fierce battle below is winning or losing, and they have to make the most difficult choice - in addition to having to use their highest skills to distinguish targets, it is a greater test to bear the responsibility of possibly injuring one's own side.All single-seat aircraft cannot participate in the attack until the situation is clear.

The weapon guide of a JH-7 was the first to make a decision. He threw the aerial bomb into a group of chariots in his own valley, instantly blocking the enemy's attacking formation, but this bombing was only for Fu Xiaoguang's The troops fought for less than 1 minute, and the rest of the fighters were still tied.

It was near the battlefield where explosions were everywhere and shrapnel flew across. Four transport helicopters were approaching rapidly, and they were traveling through the valley with great risk of being shot down, and most people did not notice their existence.These helicopters use the terrain as much as possible to avoid possible anti-aircraft weapons firing range.In addition, the pilot must use his own eyes to find a place to land from such fragmented mountain terrain.

This task of temporarily blocking the enemy fell on the shoulders of Snow Wolf. They originally planned to infiltrate the enemy's rear to cooperate with the guerrillas to harass the Indian army.Due to a combination of circumstances, it is easier to approach the battlefield than other mechanized infantry.Now their new task is to rush to the theater quickly, designate the target for the air force, and prevent the enemy from retreating at the same time.

Wang Tiechuan sat at the door of the open cabin, constantly pointing out his latest intentions to the co-pilot with hand gestures. It must be too late to land in a valley. He fully understands the situation. Now he and his people must directly descend under the direct fire of the enemy. Only when you get down can you enter the battle as quickly as possible, which is usually unimaginable.

A Mi-17 turned its nose and began to suppress the enemy on the hillside with rocket pods and machine guns. The other three aircraft of the same type were lined up on the ridge and began to quickly descend personnel and some relatively cumbersome equipment, including missiles and laser pointers. , once the personnel drop is completed, the remaining helicopters will turn around and participate in the ground strike, and the external ammunition will be used up.

The helicopter serving as cover fired rockets while trying to turn to increase the spread of firepower. For a while, the enemies on the ridge were blown up.However, this is a very clumsy transport helicopter full of infantry and weapons. It is not suitable for such close-in attack missions. It will face huge risks if it is exposed to enemy fire for even a second.However, if the opponents on the commanding heights are not suppressed, the players on the other three helicopters will inevitably not be able to enter the battlefield smoothly.

The time for the coalition forces to recover from temporary setbacks is always faster than expected.After fighting with the easily defeated Indian army for a long time, it is easy to form some wrong experiences.A Stinger missile rose from the corner below, and it circled in a white arc in the air, and the helicopter couldn't dodge it.

The missile exploded near the rotor, and the shrapnel did not penetrate other parts, but the helicopter immediately lost lift and fell downward with 19 soldiers.In the last few seconds, the pilot controlled the direction and chose to fall to the nearest hill.

Wang Tiechuan was the first among the snow wolves to descend to the top of the mountain. Just as he landed, he saw that a helicopter he was in charge of covering was hit and fell behind the mountain without exploding.He remembered that when he observed the battlefield just now, he saw a gentle slope behind the mountain, and there might not be any major casualties, but he didn't have time to think about it now, so he immediately reported the loss, and at the same time commanded the troops to spread out. When the defeated enemies began to regroup again, the Snow Wolf Troops organized precise firepower first, and severely suppressed them.

When Wang Tiechuan looked down, about 10 enemies were surrounding the 99 tank that was knocked aside.One side of the track of the tank had been lifted off the ground, and part of its support was lost. The enemy tank against him made full use of this favorable situation and pushed forward desperately. The commander of the M1A2 even got out of the turret and directed the nearby infantry to approach.

On a battlefield where there is no threat of infantry, tank commanders always appear so unscrupulous, but his days of being arrogant are coming to an end.After several coalition soldiers quickly circled to the side of the tank, there were at least 3 bazooka teams among them.

With a gunshot, an infantryman closest to the tank fell to the ground at the same time as his bazooka, and then the gunshots rang out, and one of them hit the tank hatch, scaring the commander to shrink his head in.A machine gun of Snow Wolf suppressed the rocket team with several bursts of fire.

The M1 tank began to reverse, and the 99 tank fell heavily from the tilted state, and the barrels of both sides could rotate at the same time.However, an anti-tank missile flying from the top of the mountain hit the M1 tank first, and rescued the Chinese crew with a malfunctioning loading machine.

The three helicopters that put down the infantry did not leave the combat zone immediately. They stayed bravely and took advantage of the advantage of distinguishing the enemy from the enemy far better than the fixed-wing aircraft. They hovered in the air and began to shoot at the crazy counterattacking enemy.The rockets smashed nearly 3 infantry fighting vehicles and tanks rushing in from behind into a pile of scrap iron, successfully forming a burning steel barrier in the valley.But an Avenger still fired 10 missiles and shot down a helicopter.

The snow wolves entered the battlefield hastily, but their efficiency was astonishing. Taking advantage of their superiority over the enemy on the opposite side, they fired a large number of red smoke bombs from the top of the mountain. The smoke bombs flew over the ridge and fell to the side where the opponent was entrenched.

The fighter planes in the air finally saw the smoke indicating the target, and the aerial bombs fell densely, blowing up the entire valley into a mess.

Yelinsky realized that the breakout of the front had failed, so he ordered all the people to advance to the other side of the road in order to get closer to the nearest own troops. At the same time, he was waiting for the air force support of Major General Wenk. The plan was modified into a concentrated breakthrough. Although he knew very well that it would be easy to be surrounded by the enemy, because the enemy was coming from all directions, but he was at a loss and had no other choice.

He Fan commanded the tank group, and was heading towards the front of the main enemy. He just heard that Fu Xiaoguang's tank company had lost more than half of its troops, and it insisted on blocking the enemy's retreat.Now several groups of enemies began to gather together, and the situation was favorable to him. They were forced to scurry in the mountains, almost making a mess.The drone reconnaissance photographed that a main force was trying to pass by its own side, possibly approaching the command post. There was no shortcut to stop the enemy on the map, but the lack of it on the map did not mean that there was really none.He Fan drilled out of the turret, observed the surrounding terrain with binoculars, and then ordered the troops directly under him to directly attack the 15-40° hillside, using the most direct method to intercept the enemy.

He only relies on visual estimation of the slope of the hillside, but the unit power of the 99 tanks of several companies under his command is close to 24 horsepower per ton, and the experience of the tank crew is far more suitable for mountain maneuvering than the enemy. Now he has to make good use of it at this point.

The ability of a tank to climb a slope depends more on the driver's ability to judge and choose a slope than pure power.Experienced drivers can take advantage of a series of gentle slopes, resolve steep slopes, and climb over those seemingly unsolvable ridges. Inexperienced drivers can only do it blindly.

The tank group roared and began a difficult assault. If this adventure fails, it will be enough for He Fan to bear the main responsibility for the defeat of the battle, because his order violated common sense. This kind of thing that sounds impossible has been tried, and he has a profound and unique insight. He knows that the meaning of going against common sense is that the enemy is defenseless at all, just like the Battle of Ardennes.The northern hills of Rajasthan are covered with vegetation, which is far more able to withstand the weight of the tank than the bare northern mountains of China.

He Fan's chariot took the lead, making use of the gentle slope of the hill to zigzag upwards. The whole group was completely enveloped by the terrible roar of the engine and billowing black smoke.

In the end, He Fan was the first to appear on the ridge.He immediately saw the enemy convoy passing neatly in front, a large number of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and the wheeled fighting vehicles he hated the most, but there were no off-road vehicles for light infantry, and those vulnerable Hummers were exactly what he was worried about enemies because they have the best vision.

Sure enough, the enemy was not aware of it, and they clinging to the steep cliffs to avoid reconnaissance from the air force.He Fan was not in a hurry, waiting for most of the troops to cross the ridge.

The first 20 tank guns began to adjust the depression angle. These tanks do not have fancy electro-hydraulic suspension systems, but for experienced drivers, this is not impossible to solve. On any complex terrain, you can find a way to adjust the tilt of the car body .

He Fan decided not to wait for follow-up tanks.His two companies fired together, with priority given to enemy tanks, tanks carrying anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft vehicles, and finally wheeled tanks.

His well-trained crew fired an average of four shots in 40 seconds, eliminating 4 tanks and as many as 15 various infantry vehicles.Then they rushed down the hillside to charge the enemy on the ground.The infantry fighting vehicles that had just climbed up the ridge began to use 40mm machine guns for cover.This battle was far easier than what Fu Xiaoguang faced. Within a few minutes, He Fan wiped out half of the battalion with zero casualties. More importantly, this assault cut off the enemy's main escape route.

Then he heard Lin Huaisheng's order from the radio to ask the Air Force to stop air strikes on the enemy's headquarters. It seemed that Mr. Lin had sent a large plane on a special mission and was about to launch a political persuasion against the enemy.

He Fan ordered the troops that were already in place to intercept the enemy in front of them, and the troops that were not in place quickly seized important areas to extinguish all the illusions of the enemy.
