Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 114 Communication Activities
"Very good, well done, these conscientious raiders should all be shot down."

"Squadron leader, what happened to our AWACS?"

"I heard that it fell in the valley north of Baramura. It's not very optimistic. But you have done a great job for us."

"Our battles in the future may be more difficult and difficult."

Goya waited above the river valley for his wingmen to meet up, and then returned to the Bareilly base together.

The underground war room of the Peshawar Air Force Base around the same time.Major General Islam has been waiting for news from Sami. Every few minutes, the Major General ordered his people to make phone calls to several frontier airports, but the answers he received were all negative. There have been no planes landing at these airports recently. .We waited until night, but the colonel's fighter plane failed to come back. From the calculation of fuel, it was impossible for this plane to remain in the air.At the same time, the electronic surveillance unit of Fort *** monitored the chaotic communication of the 19th Infantry Division in the direction of Jammu, India. The intelligence monitored by the Indian radio station showed that the division had sent both reconnaissance and search units and engineering units to conduct Rescue work.In the intercepted snippets, it was mentioned that the AWACS plane had now fallen into a ravine, and it seemed that half of the people miraculously survived, but the plane must have died.Because the engineering battalion of the 19th Infantry Division mentioned the need for helicopters to lift large machinery to cut open the plane so that they can save people.Apparently, the sneak attack had been accomplished, and soon Vice President Latif personally called the major general to commend him, but the major general couldn't be happier.In his opinion, if the aircraft is lost, it can be bought, and ordinary technical personnel can still be recruited. The Indians have plenty of money, and they can immediately get a few AWACS aircraft equivalent to the Saab 2000 from Brazil to fill the gap, but they need to get a Sami Such pilots are completely rare.

"When was the last time the radio went off?" the major general pressed a nearby officer, a question he had asked many times.

"At 4:45, the colonel communicated with the early warning aircraft for the last time, and then the 'Viper' was threatened by fighter jets from the Indian Lion Squadron, and was forced to withdraw from the sky over Kashmir. It hasn't recovered either."

"Did ground troops on the ground near the glacier see that?"

"30 minutes ago, according to the latest information collected, the outpost troops of the 8th Mountain Division saw a plane flying northeast at roughly the same time, but it was just two Indian fighter jets, which seemed to be Su-30. This is consistent with what the early warning aircraft found Those 2 Indian planes matched. They appeared to be chasing the Colonel's plane."

"It sounds like bad luck."

"It is such a general. The temperature in that area is very low at night, and it is no man's land. Once shot down, even if you parachute, it is really dangerous."

The major general shook his head and walked out of the command room with a dejected expression. Many years ago, Sammy had been his right-hand man. The colonel was a guy who could command two squadrons to fight in the cockpit of a fighter jet. The top pilots of each squadron had Half of them used to be his students or served as his wingmen. Although no one really liked Sami on the surface, he has always been the core force of the Pakistan Air Force. The major general began to doubt whether the plan was really profitable.This unsolvable question made him stay in the hallway for several hours. It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that he saw Song Ning, the Chinese liaison officer, approaching, and he was relieved.

"General, good evening." Song Ning took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello Major, I'm in a bad mood. We might lose the old guy. It's really bad."

"Well, I've been ordered to inform you of two things," said the major, as if he didn't really want to know who the old guy was.

"Please speak."

"The first thing is that at 5:07 this afternoon, a fighter jet from your country broke into our airspace without permission. The plane later crashed in our country. It was a fighter jet from the Black Spider Squadron, without a serial number."

"Oh? Is that so? What happened next?" the major general shouted.

"This is the second thing. The pilot has been found. He suffered minor injuries and is currently recuperating in a military hospital. As for the pilot's name, I haven't received any further news from the country yet."

"It's great, I knew this old guy wouldn't die so easily, thank God, that's great." The major general actually shed tears excitedly.

"Major General, now you should give some explanations for the intrusion into our country's airspace?"

"I don't know. I don't have such details in my plan. It's all the old guy's fault... He always does his own thing. To be honest, it's really great."

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Mohammad Sami was lying on a bed in a military hospital in Hotan, China. His buttocks were slightly injured when he landed while parachuting, so he couldn't lie down, so he could only lie on his stomach .

10 hours ago, the colonel's parachute was hit by a few shells and disabled. Fortunately, he was very close to the ground at this time, so he didn't fall to his death, but the situation was not good, he fell on a pile of rubble He was unable to stand due to a dislocated leg, and he also got paint on his buttocks.At that time, a J-8II drove the Indian combatant out of the border, and flew over him when turning around, shaking its wings.He waited until the sun went down, but no one came to rescue him.Except for a woodchuck who passed by and glanced at him, there was no living creature.After nightfall, the surrounding temperature quickly dropped to about minus five degrees. He lit a pair of bonfires, but it was still not enough to keep him warm. The colonel fell into despair, as if he could only lie down and wait for death.At this time, a Mi-17 helicopter rumbled out from behind the ridge, found the fire, and soon the helicopter sent it to the Hotan area hundreds of kilometers away.

Now Sammy is lying on a hospital bed in a single ward, with plaster on his buttocks, but he is not in great pain. Anyone who has just recovered from the closed door of hell will naturally see these small illnesses and disasters very clearly. And the window beside his bed is facing the military airport, so he can watch the night take-off and landing training of the Chinese Air Force from here, which makes him enjoy himself.

This airport is in a state of combat readiness, and it can be seen that takeoffs and landings are very busy. Obviously, India's attack on Pakistan has also made it feel pressure here.

With a huge roar, two huge two-seater fighter jets began to take off.The colonel had seen the production line of this aircraft in a northern city in China last year, and knew that it was a heavy multipurpose fighter that could compete with the Su-2MKI, and was slightly stronger than the early model that Hamid brought back from China.

"Excellent," the colonel cheered at the risk of a ruptured wound, looking at his watch as he raised his wrist. "The pull-up time is very short, better than those bloated F16Cs."

Then two J-2 fighter jets took off.Sami can understand the numbers on the planes, and knows that these outdated models belong to the same wing (division) as the previous two-seater fighters. It seems that this unit is currently undergoing a refit.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the colonel hurriedly pulled the sheet up to his waist.A nurse with a blank face opened the door. The nurse stood by the door without speaking, and soon several other people filed into the ward.Several were Chinese soldiers and two were Pakistanis.

"I am the affairs officer sent by the Consul General of Pakistan in Shanghai to deal with the aftermath of this incident. My name is Ali."

A Pakistani official made a quick opening, sounding very tired.

"My name is Muhammad..."

"I know your name, Colonel. In fact, I've just flown a few hours to get here on your business."

Ali interrupted the colonel rudely and said.The incident was reported to the Shanghai Consulate General at 10:[-] p.m., when he was already lying in bed, and then he was forced to get up, take a Turkish Airlines flight to WLMQ, and then change to a military helicopter to catch up When he got here, it was almost dawn now, so he was quite dissatisfied with the colonel.

The two Chinese soldiers who accompanied them didn't have any special emotions. They stood silently by the side.

"Am I making things difficult for the government?"

"It goes without saying that you have allowed the Chinese government to be passively involved in our war with India, which is of course serious misconduct."

"However, it was Indian aircraft that launched the missiles, and they invaded China from our territory."

"Mr. Colonel, how is your injury?" The Chinese soldier on the side spoke suddenly and changed the subject.

"Of course it's nothing. It will be fine in a day or two."

"It's Mr. Colonel, let's get straight to the point," said the officer and took a step closer. Only then did Sami see through the light that it was an air force colonel who was speaking. "We know that you are the best pilot in your country and have mastered a lot of operational details of the Indian Air Force. Therefore, we are making a request to your government that you have to stay here for a period of time and participate in the formulation of our training plan. How is your leg, can you still fly?" The officer's straightforward words greatly exceeded the colonel's expectations.

"My legs hurt a little, but it's okay to step on the rudder, but my country is at war. I have to go back immediately."

Sami's words obviously made Ali's face even more ugly.Although he didn't know how this old man, He Dehe, would interest the Chinese military, his attitude of categorically refusing was really not flattering.

"It has been agreed in China. The Prime Minister is in BJ now. He just found out about it. He intends to let you stay here to recover from your injuries. If possible, he will receive a plane provided by China to fly back on his own. Without you, we have to Sending an extra pilot over is simply superfluous, who let you fall here."

"Is that so? You want to know the combat characteristics of the Indian Air Force?"

"Yes, especially the Su-30MKI. Two of their planes violated our airspace today, and our pilot said that one of them easily got rid of the radar lock."

"It's not surprising. The J-8II only has very short shooting gates that appear in the tail-chasing horizontal circle, and they will be thrown off quickly. If they are more direct and pull up directly in the vertical direction, there will not even be such a moment .”
