Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 807
The rules formulated by the Chinese army must restrict the use of such weapons in urban warfare. Due to the high flying speed and the obstruction of various buildings, not every shell can find the indicating laser.In field battles, there were about 10? ? ?On the contrary, this ratio will naturally be higher in urban warfare.However, if you take into account the unguided artillery fire from both the Indian and Pakistani armies, which has already reduced the periphery of the New Delhi Convention and Exhibition Center to ruins, it is difficult for a few missed shells to continue to injure civilians.In addition, the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons temporarily shielded the area, and the friendly forces that broke into the area urgently needed precise support. The 155mm howitzer unit stationed in the northwest of New Delhi received an emergency order to prepare for the shelling of the city center.

There are a few more things that need to be implemented before the fire support.The first is to select the ballistic and charge according to the area requested by the Pakistani side to hit the target.Secondly, it is necessary to coordinate the coding of the emission signal source for guidance and identification. Since all the equipment is made in China, the implementation time is not very long.

Of course, since the artillery position is located in the northwest, it may pose a threat to the laser irradiation source itself.The Chinese side reminded the 1st Armored Division of Pakistan that the way to ensure the safety of the radiation source is to try to keep the launcher and the artillery fire in the same direction and on a commanding height. Simply put, it is to prevent the artillery shells from seeing the source of the laser emission.However, this important suggestion was deliberately missed by Younis' command. The current situation of Yahini has made it impossible to occupy the commanding heights in the northwest (the commanding heights were blown up by Pakistan Air Force planes).Even though Yahini knew this common sense during the professional training of army officers organized by the division headquarters, he can't think too much about these dangers now. The enemy tanks are approaching. The only thing he can do is to deploy those indicators as far as possible. Somewhere high.Currently his indicator is on the second floor, so the possibility of being hit by mistake can be reduced a lot, but the risk of being hit by mistake cannot be completely ruled out.

A battery of artillerymen began firing hastily, the situation was urgent, and no test firing was conducted.

Before the cannonball flew according to the trajectory instructions, the synchronization device automatically controlled the ground indication equipment to start up. At the same time, the cannonball opened the four stabilizer wings at the rear. When searching downwards, the front control wings were deployed again.

The shells fly to the target at a relatively large angle, which is more beneficial to deal with tank groups, and at the same time can avoid harming one's own side.Soon the terminal guidance window on the warhead received a dazzling signal, began to track continuously, and corrected the trajectory.Since different indicators use different laser codes, not all shells fly to the same place, and they disperse and fly to all indicated threats according to the random setting before launch.

Shells whizzed down quickly, and lasers were directed at enemy tanks and various ruins hiding armored vehicles.The accuracy of artillery suppression determines its effectiveness.Yahini has never seen a salvo of a company, so accurately tilted in such a narrow range, although 1 or 2 shells failed to find the target, flew out of the target area, and missed by about 200 meters outside.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated a bit, you could see that even the gun barrel of a Challenger tank was bent.The enemy's tank attack was disintegrated in an instant, the channel of the tank's frontal attack was also blocked, and the remaining tanks could only retreat.

Yahini requested a second bombardment through the radio. This time he wanted to extend the laser to the streets behind the enemy. This of course violated the original intention of the Chinese army’s fire support. The target area that was notified soon was questioned, and he still insisted There is an enemy tank group in the rear. In fact, he is not sure whether there are tanks and infantry gathering there. He just wants to use artillery fire to clear the buildings in front and clear a shooting area so that he can see more clearly.Due to the temporary lack of aerial reconnaissance, the rear chose to trust his judgment.

A second bombardment came as expected, this time using a lower trajectory.Finally, some surprises happened.When an indicator on the second floor of the convention center fired a laser, it was unfortunately spotted by a shell with a smaller attack angle.As a result, the shell flew directly towards the source of radiation.The huge explosion above his head startled Yahini. After he calmed down, he realized that one of his teams had been reimbursed, but this is war, and accidental injuries are inevitable, and these costs were within his expectations.

At the same time, all Pakistani forces attacking in the east encountered bitter fighting.After suffering huge losses, these troops began to use all the artillery fire they could mobilize to retaliate against the Indian troops hidden in the buildings.But the huge ruins formed by the destroyed buildings continued to provide cover for the receiving side, and any clumsy command would lead to more unnecessary losses.

The Chinese drone continues to approach the center of the city, luring the opponent's air defense missile radar to take the bait. Only one mistake is enough to make this radar unlucky.Although it keeps powering on/off/transferring non-stop.Less than 3 seconds after the guidance radar was turned on again, a J-10 fighter that moved in the direction of its radiation launched an anti-radiation missile.After seeing the target clearly, the opponent adopts the method of shutting down and evading.

The anti-radiation missile in the air lost its radiation source, and it did not use inertial navigation to fly to the previous position of the target. Although the opponent may not have time to maneuver after turning off the machine, in order to prevent the missile from flying aimlessly in crowded areas, the missile follows the new setting. Secondary targets flying in the direction of the Derry Barracks - other enemy communications antennas.If the secondary target disappears again, it will fly to the wilderness outside the city and fall confidently.

The Chinese army has always adhered to the bottom line of precise strikes in the attack, and will never allow random attacks, but the Pakistani army is completely different. They do not hesitate to use imprecise artillery fire to demolish the entire city.

When night fell, the entire edge of the city against the backdrop of fire was burning.A large number of civilians fled towards the direction controlled by the Chinese army, trying to withdraw outside the city.Under the bewitching of the Kahan government, many civilians did not leave New Delhi in time before the siege, and in fact became the shields of the Indian army. Now they realize that the defeat is doomed, and start scrambling to run out of the city.Even many Indian soldiers discarded their weapons and put on civilian clothes in an attempt to escape the hopeless battle situation. Regardless of whether Kahan stayed in the city or not, his role in stabilizing the hearts of the people and the army has become smaller and smaller.

In Srinagar’s Northern Military Region Command, all the senior officials of the former regime that the former Minister of Agriculture can invite are gathering to discuss the future of India. If they can negotiate a result, a framework document will be produced, and then the Jamilon's interim government came forward to conduct a new round of negotiations with China and Pakistan.

Jamilon judged that they and the Chinese government have a relatively consistent goal, which is to maintain the relative integrity of India, while the United States hopes to form a series of new countries on the subcontinent, and the target of division is not only India, but also Pakistan.But Pakistan doesn't want India whole, that's obvious.

The meeting was carried out in a rather dull atmosphere. Although all the participants had a consensus on the reality, no one wanted to talk too much on such an occasion.

The dark-skinned Minister of Agriculture realized that only he could break the deadlock. He stood up and asked the recorders present to leave the venue and turn off the recording equipment. This somewhat relaxed the other participants. Then he walked to In front of the conference room.

"Gentlemen, I think you all know that our nation is facing the toughest time. All the gains we have ever made on the battlefield have been lost on the battlefield. So... Now is the wise man, let's face it It's time."

The venue seemed to freeze. His words deeply hurt the soldiers present, but the truth is so hurtful. The high-profile patriotism like Kahan's demagoguery can indeed paralyze all sentient beings, but the consequences have already appeared.

"Someone has to come out and clean up the mess. I mean, at times like this, real warriors shouldn't continue to try to turn things around. It's just spiritual opium. On the contrary, I think people who dare not face reality and continue to be stubborn , are cowards."

His words earned slight nods from some in the room.

"The Chinese now need collaborators and the Pakistanis... are asking for territorial reparations. They have drifted away from China's demands. This is our opportunity. I don't want to beat around the bush. That's the way things are now. There are not many opportunities, but it can be done. Grasp. The credo of patriotism that we have been instilled in us tells us that losing any inch of land is a crime, and taking territory from neighboring countries is a supreme honor. It has been expanding on two fronts and constantly grabbing land. Prime Minister Kahan's geopolitical theory is a weird derivative based on this simple idea. His desire for territory led India into war. First, it encroached on China's territory , then provoked Pakistan in Kashmir, forced Bangladesh to exchange territories, and finally launched an all-out war to invade Pakistan. This endless expansion makes people blind. Forget that the ultimate purpose of the ruler is to keep the country safe, not to put her in danger territory."

If he had heard such a blatant argument sometime last year, Meneam would have stood up and refuted it, but after a month of starvation, he realized that Jamilon's ideas were closer to reality, perhaps because he was in charge of agriculture. , he is farther away from the sense of honor than a soldier, but also closer to reality.

"We all know these things, can you talk about something practical?" Meneyam said, every time he mentioned the mistakes of the forward policy, or the failures on the battlefield, it would hurt his self-esteem, because the army has always been the expansion of Kahan. A staunch supporter of the policy, he felt that although Jamilon's opening remarks were to the point, he did not consider the emotions of the soldiers present.

"Okay, let me talk about this year's farming season first. The whole north has missed the wheat planting, and the rice planting season is coming soon. If the war can't end as soon as possible and the national traffic can't be restored, I can't imagine what will happen. As you know, India has a population of more than one billion. Once there is a food shortage, no one can save us. A futures analyst at the New York Agricultural Exchange expects that this war will greatly increase global food prices. In order to save his The regime has drained the entire treasury, and we have no hard currency to buy food from North America to feed Indians."

"I understand what you're thinking, but what do we do now to end the war with dignity?" someone asked.

"In order to save the people, I personally don't hesitate to blame. I am ready to be nailed to the pillar of shame. Maybe in the future history books, Kahan is the hero of India, but I will not go to a dead end for these false names .So... I urge you not to get too hung up on the word decency. We had many chances to end the war with decency, but Kahan missed them all."

Jamilon kept talking about the differences between him and Kahan, and that he didn't hesitate to criticize or praise, which shows that he still cares about these things in his heart. Under the pragmatic appearance, he should have had inner struggles.

"If the war can be stopped within a week, I will get a loan from China as soon as possible to restore the army and the economy. We must solve the problem on two fronts at the same time. One is to control the country immediately and take over the regime, so we The army and the police must be restored, and secondly, agriculture must begin immediately, and small loans to farmers must be provided. Once these two are completed, our country can start to recover and start recuperating."

"But the South is not currently obeying your government. They are still obeying Kahan on the surface, and it will be difficult to say after Kahan collapses." Another representative said.

"They are indeed waiting for changes in the post-Kahan era. However, you can rest assured that I have the confidence to take over the country."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, one thing I think it's time to let everyone know that ex-President Krinasi Gandhi has contacted me secretly and he made it clear that he will support us in case India is divided. I want the support of the Gandhi family, yes It is very important. But he is still in New Delhi at the moment, and I hope that you will not leak this matter, so as not to cause any accidents to him."

"Then, what is the enemy's asking price, I mean the territorial question."

Meneam asked, still unable to change his words about the enemy.In fact, Jamilon occasionally uses words like "our enemy" or "enemy of the people", but usually refers to Kahan.He was not of one mind with the soldiers attending the meeting, but he was forced to sit on the same boat at the moment.

"I will try my best to believe that the Chinese have realized the new situation after the war and they will not favor Pakistan," he said after a pause, "however, maybe we will lose the whole of Kashmir and the eastern state of Assam. The Chinese have had elections in Assam, are issuing sex IDs, and are blocking the Sigurd corridor, which is their most direct access to the Bay of Bengal, and it's hard to spit it out. I don't think negotiations will include seven A state. So we have to be mentally prepared, this is the reality we have to accept.”

The venue fell silent again, and the meeting reached the most critical moment. There is no doubt that if you support Jamilon's plan of exchanging territory for peace, everyone in this room will eventually be judged by history, but they have to do Make a decision.Time passed by every minute, and after the showdown, Jamilon fell into a cold silence, which was what he was most worried about.

"I'm expressing my opinion on behalf of the Air Force." Luo Er stood up with a blank face. Although he was only a colonel, he had been on TV and was quite well-known.

"The Air Force supports any resolution that avoids the division of the country and restores the Indian Air Force as soon as possible. At least the Chief of Staff will not go to the South, nor will he support the northern government." Rolle's statement on behalf of the Air Force Chief of Staff is a relief to Jamilon Wai.

"I can't represent the army, but the troops under the control of Srinagar will obey the deployment of the northern government. Our view is that the Kahan government has collapsed and is no longer legal." Meneyam also made a statement.He puts more emphasis on the choice of the Gandhi family. If the Congress Party is at the forefront, then he can share much less responsibility.

"By the way, General, can you still communicate with Marshal Pasade's headquarters?" Jamie Lun asked.

"of course can."

"Then please send him a letter."

"My communications unit can still communicate with the Prime Minister's Office. Do you have any letters for the Prime Minister?"

"No, I have nothing to say to this man. If he has any humanity, he should know that at this point, the only thing he can do is kill himself. Then all the suffering of the people of India will end."
