Thunder Strikes Back
Chapter 9 Sniper
Chapter 9 Sniper
There is no decent plant in the endless stretches of desolate snow-capped mountains. A few goats that have just begun to shed their hair are slowly moving on the cliff, looking for buds buried in the snow. Small stones roll down around them from time to time. He raised his head and stood still.Over the decades, goats here have learned to avoid trails or valleys, because flat areas are always minefields.
Lin Huaisheng was wearing a thick coat, squatting behind the artillery mirror, looking at a snow-capped hill a few hundred meters above the goats, where a forward post of the Indian army was located, and Captain Salim who accompanied him sat beside him Check out the map.
"On the hill in front is the troops of the 25th Indian Division?"
"Yes, there is probably a platoon belonging to the 14th Maratha Light Infantry Battalion, and the main force of the 25th Division is still to the east." Captain Salim said.
"Is there a road behind the mountain?"
"Yes, but it's too bad that you can only go in summer. This month, these forward troops have to rely on the 153rd Helicopter Squadron at the Utapur base to deliver supplies. There will be one or two times a month." The captain then replied.
"Polaris?"
"No, no, it's Mi 17."
"How far is that mountain from here?" Lin Huaisheng asked while calculating in his heart.
"The straight line is 1.5 kilometers. Of course, the drop in the valley cannot be accurately calculated. It may take a day to walk over. The few roads that can be walked are covered with mines. Some are theirs, and some are ours."
Lin Huaisheng could now see the Indian soldiers wearing wool caps poking their heads out from behind the bunker and looking through binoculars.
"Have you fired a cannon all these years?"
"There has been no fighting in the past ten years. After 1999, both sides have moved their main fortifications behind the mountain, and they can't fight anymore. They have a few Cheetah helicopters at the front, which is a problem for us. But, every battalion of ours has poison. Sting missile."
When Lin Huaisheng left the observation post, he thought that it would be meaningless for any party to launch a large-scale attack on such terrain.The superior sent him here to communicate with the Pakistani army. There are many ways to communicate, but Lin Huaisheng just wanted to take a look at the front. His request really made the master difficult, especially the current situation is very dangerous; finally the northern commander thought of a compromise The half way in the middle is to choose the most peaceful mountain pass in the past ten years from the map for the Chinese colonel to walk around, and sent Captain Salim of the 23rd Infantry Division to accompany him throughout the journey.When Lin Huaisheng walked down the hill to observe what he saw, he saw some Pakistani soldiers preparing their weapons, as if there was an exercise.
"Why, is there a marching exercise today?" Lin Huaisheng asked the captain.
"It's not a drill. It just so happened that an enemy plane crashed in the east yesterday. Someone saw the pilot parachute. He may have fallen into the mountains. The higher-ups asked the nearby garrison to look for it."
"Looking for a pilot?"
"Not only the pilot, but also the wreckage."
"Can I go together?" The Chinese lieutenant colonel asked directly
"Lieutenant Colonel, have you ever seen a more terrifying place than the mountains here?" Captain Salim said with a smile. This question made Lin Huaisheng very interesting.
"Captain Salem, I have seen steeper mountains, just 500 kilometers away." Lin Huaisheng said and pointed to the east.
"Okay, let's go together, the plane fell a few kilometers away, I hope we can take you back to the headquarters in time."
"Will the Indian army come?" Lin Huaisheng continued to ask.
"Normally not. Every year before June, they are not very active. The most worrying thing is the landmines. We have to go the way the goats often walk. There is one more thing, you have to follow me." Salim The captain stroked his mustache lightly and said.
The search team used to have only 11 people, and the commander was a sergeant. Now Lin Huaisheng and Captain Salim were added, and it happened to be an unlucky number. Captain Salim always carried a submachine gun with him. A combatant, but Lin Huaisheng only has binoculars.
Sergeant Nuerman who led the team seemed a little dissatisfied with Captain Salim's hasty decision. He thought that an unarmed foreigner would definitely drag down his team, but he couldn't speak out because of his rank.Lin Huaisheng saw the dissatisfaction of the sergeant, so he could only follow behind quietly, trying not to make himself a burden.
Sergeant Nuerman is in his 30s and is quite familiar with this area. He has always been at the forefront. He carries a spare marine phone and handheld GPS with him. In addition, he is a conspicuous old-fashioned Steyr 69 sniper rifle. , this is a weapon that is out of date, with outdated shape and plastic buttstock, it is easy to remind people of small-caliber rifles in military pentathlon.Most of the rest of the soldiers other than sergeants carry AK47-shaped rifles.
Lin Huaisheng has always felt that the mountains here are very similar to the Karakorum Mountains on the western border, with criss-crossed gullies and scattered peaks. If there is no GPS, it is very difficult to find the target 1 km away here.
One day ago, the Saab 1 early warning aircraft accurately reported that a plane crashed here, but the coordinates alone are not enough.Since the binding force of the actual control line is close to zero during the conflict, it is easy to detect the dispatch of helicopters, so only the infantry can confirm the actual situation.
The squad circled around the mountain a few times, confused themselves a few times, and after a discussion, Sergeant Nuerman finally persuaded Captain Salim to continue looking for the plane according to his idea. Judging opinions based on terrain and features, after all, I am just a guest.
At 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I finally saw a long crash trace on the hillside in the distance. The parts of the plane were scattered all over the hillside. The front part of the plane landed in a dry river valley, and the nose was still facing North, which is the direction of the target.But the pilot who parachuted was never found.
"We can find the memory of the computer to see if there is any useful information, and we can also take a video, which will have... will have... political effects," the captain said out of breath while holding a big rock.
"Will the Indian army come to destroy it?" Lin Huaisheng, who was at the end of the team, asked.
Captain Salim was in a bit of trouble. He bowed his head and talked with Sergeant Nuerman for a few words, and then regained his confidence. He said to Lin Huaisheng: Probably not, it’s not worth it for a wreck.
A group of people started looking for a way into the valley. After an hour, they finally reached the edge of the valley. This is a hidden valley with bare hills on both sides. Lin Huaisheng felt that if he did not occupy these commanding heights, he would be easily ambushed. So he tactfully put forward this opinion to Captain Salim, and Salim consulted the sergeant again. In the end, the sergeant thought that the soldiers were tired and could not let the soldiers be deprived of oxygen for unrealistic reasons. Tossing up and down in the environment.
The Jaguar attack plane has maintained the state when it was shot down. The broken turbine engine fell 150 meters behind the plane. When the wind blows, you can see that the blades will still rotate.The soldiers walking in front rushed up, trying to pry some souvenirs from the cockpit, and the whole team was in a mess.Lin Huaisheng also walked over, took out his camera, and jumped onto the right wing that was still intact. From this position, he could see that the pilot's seat in the cockpit no longer existed, and it was obviously ejected together with the pilot. out.There is a large hole under the broken wing on the left, and the metal skin is rolled up towards the inside.It was probably where the missile hit it, or it might have been damaged by a rock when it fell. Lin Huaisheng is not an expert in this field and couldn't figure out the way, so he pressed the shutter randomly and took a few photos.
"Sergeant, you have to ask your people to find the memory of the computer, and don't let them disassemble other useless things." When Salim spoke loudly, he saw a soldier studying the lights on the landing gear, and another A soldier is picking up a decelerated parachute that has fallen outside.
"But Captain, what does the storage look like?"
"How do I know? You have to go in and find out yourself."
When Sergeant Nuerman reluctantly walked to the cockpit, Lin Huaisheng felt that it was time for him to moderate his differences, even though he didn't know what the memory looked like.
"Sergeant, I can go in and look for it. I have repaired helicopters before, so it should be about the same?" Lin Huaisheng said to him standing on a high place. Sergeant Nuerman raised his head and saw Lin Huaisheng shining in the afterglow of the setting sun. , smiled gratefully at Lin Huaisheng.
"Thanks to you, what do you need?"
"Uh, a hammer, and an axe." Lin Huaisheng thought for a while and said.
"No axes, I'm afraid."
"Then just find a big rock."
Lin Huaisheng jumped into the cockpit. Without a seat, he could only squat. He roughly knew the structure of the plane. If there were any advanced electronic equipment, it should be behind his pilot.The panel here was damaged, so without using an ax or a stone, he removed a cathode ray tube on the left that indicated night aiming and laser irradiation. He stretched his hand along the data cable and touched it. The bang bang compartment is obviously more complicated than imagined.So he proceeded to disassemble the fuel control panel, a type of aircraft from the 80s that filled the cockpit with switches and gauges.Can't see any out-of-the-box interfaces.
Sergeant Nuerman's face appeared outside the cabin, and he asked Lin Huaisheng friendly if he had found that thing.A muffled gunshot crossed the river valley, and Sergeant Nuerman suddenly disappeared from Lin Huaisheng's field of vision. Even in the cockpit, Lin Huaisheng could hear the sergeant falling heavily to the ground.
"What's going on?" Captain Salim can be heard shouting from outside the plane.
"An Indian sniper, on the mountain." A soldier said, Lin Huaisheng buried his head in the cockpit, not daring to look up, he tried hard to recall all the commanding heights here and the location of the gunshot.Soon there was another shot, still from the same direction, followed by the sound of another soldier falling.Apparently, there is an experienced sniper on a certain hill here. He killed the sergeant who was poking around outside the plane with his first shot. It must not be because of his rank. Otherwise, he should have killed Captain Salem first. The most likely reason is that Sergeant Nuerman was carrying a green sniper rifle. He probably thought that killing his colleagues first would save him the trouble of changing positions frequently.
