Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 168
Sammy didn't take off his flight suit. He went straight to the control tower and met Major General Islam at the door. The two shook hands and then hugged. Two hours later, Major General Islam will board an early warning command plane and become the air commander of this crucial attack, while Sami will serve as an escort as a member of the escort formation.

"It makes me so happy to know you're okay."

"God let me come back and teach the Indians a lesson. How about the Air Force?"

"It's bad." The major general shook his head. "More than half of all fighter squadrons have been lost. We used the equipment provided by China to urgently train newbies in Quetta, but you know, that won't work. A Raiden crashed yesterday. Another J-10BS crashed its landing gear when it landed today. Fortunately, the pilot is still alive."

"It seems that we old guys have to go into battle. What do you think about the next action? Those Chinese planes will use some special bombs. It is said that they can give the Indian army a decisive blow."

"Hehe, I know that the Mirage 2000 deployed by the Indians in Jodhpur is equipped with CBU105 bombs on standby all day long. They have been thinking about attacking our armored cluster with terminal sensitive bombs, but our armored forces have not been able to concentrate. So They can only wait." The major general said with a wry smile.He didn't know whether the army's poor performance was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Well now, I'm back." Sami said in a savior-like tone, "I still have a score to settle when I come back this time. There is a kid in the 24th Squadron, his Su-30 number is SB302, you know him huh? I remember 5 shootdown marks on his plane."

"Of course I know, there should be six shoot-down markers on his plane now. Last week he was on Indian state-run television for the second time and is now a national hero known to every household in India. The intelligence department told me that he recruited You were also mentioned incidentally during the public debt."

"Oh?" Sammy exclaimed, feeling slightly flattered.

"That's right, he claimed to have shot down the number one ace pilot in Asia. If I would say the same," the major general said.

"Is that so?" Sami asked in amazement. He himself had never thought of being number one in Asia, because the Israeli Air Force still has many players whose record is not inferior to his own, but the Indians gave him such a title out of publicity. He still finds it useful.

"Listen, if this 24 Squadron is ever called out again, I hope your air command will give me some privileges."

"This……"

"I'm gonna beat the shit out of this little brat," Sammy said viciously, as if holding a grudge.

"Are you so sure? I mean dealing with Su-30MKI?"

"Hehe, during this period of time, I have had many confrontations with Sukhoi's aircraft in China, using their J-10 fighter jets. You know, the Thunderbolt has little chance of confronting the Su-30. If you occupy a favorable position in the circle They can use the vertical climb speed to get away, but the J-10 is not the same thing, this aircraft is very powerful and flexible enough."

"By the way, how about the technology of Chinese pilots?" Islam seemed not interested in Sami's revenge plan. What he wanted to know was the strength of the Chinese Air Force.

"Have you seen the performance of that Major Song Ning?"

"That's right, a few days ago, he shot down an LCA fighter jet in the south. How should I put it, technically impeccable, but he doesn't have as many... ghost ideas in the air as you do."

"Hehe, your point is right. Their pilots have a lot of flying hours, and the movements of cutting in and attacking and then breaking away are very simple, but their tactics are relatively few. After playing a few more games, you will find that it is always the same old style. It is no wonder that they did not The actual combat experience is only the training syllabus. Of course, for air commanders, they will definitely like such pilots, because they always follow orders."

"You're right, no one likes an old guy who doesn't obey orders."

"Okay, time is almost up. This joint operation is critical and the Army is up to us to save. We have to be there on time before the sun rises. I hope the squadrons are ready."

"No problem. We have 4 fighter jets flying from 10 airfields to protect the bombers. The enemy has been paralyzed recently. They think we have no more planes to take off."

"Those bombers with four 4kg bombs on them will be the best targets in the sky. So be sure to protect them carefully. At least drive the enemy planes out of visual range. On Leyla, they should not see us intention of."

"I know that the F5C of the 16th Squadron will be operating with you, as well as some aircraft from the Quetta base."

"I can always rest assured that you command me."

It was daylight.Abad crossed the sugarcane field and returned to the stable. His members had already covered the chariot with straw, and there was really no way to hide it well except for the cannon poked outside the gate.

The sergeant warned the others that the enemy would have a few tanks to join the attack soon, but not too many.You have to cheer up now, when the Indian tanks will emerge one after another from somewhere 500 meters away, but don't worry too much, because the enemy will not be too fast at the beginning.He believed that it would be better to fight against the enemy's tanks than to fall into the enemy's infantry. If the enemy's infantry were close, it would be time to retreat.

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of the engine idling on the east bank. Such a loud sound could not be made by a tank.All the members got into the chariot one after another from various entrances, leaving only Abad outside the turret with half of his body exposed.The door of the barn blocked his left and right vision, but it was a good way to hide in it. He knew that from the enemy's point of view, this doorway was a dark shadow.

The sky was getting brighter, and through the binoculars, one could clearly see the Indian infantry behind the river embankment looking here one by one. After a while, they began to bravely climb over the cement dam.The Pakistani infantry behind them began to fire, and several machine guns suppressed the enemy infantry so that they could not raise their heads.Then thick smoke rose from behind the dam, apparently a tank was approaching.Then there's the antenna and the towering 30mm cannon.The leading infantry fighting vehicle did not cross the dam, but stopped at the right time. Obviously, the tank tried to use the 2-meter-wide concrete dam as a cover to open fire on the infantry.Its 30mm cannon depresses, then fires.Pakistan's machine gun positions were no match for this gun at all, and several positions immediately became dumb.Then an anti-tank missile was fired from the rear position, but it only destroyed a section of the dam and missed the turret.The enemy chariot moved a certain distance to one side and continued to fire, seemingly reckless.

"Can you target it?" Abad asked.He knew very well that the enemy's strategy was obvious, which was to hide the car body and only reveal a very small turret, which was very close to his previous tactics.

"Impossible, it shows too little," said the gunner.

"I mean across this dam."

"Of course it's fine, but with such a thick concrete wall?"

"Since the T90's gun can penetrate it, our gun will have no problem, not to mention the distance is closer now."

The gunner immediately let go of aiming. He roughly guessed the position of the car body from the exposed artillery of the other party. The key point of this car is under the turret, because there is a basic amount of ammunition stored there.The laser rangefinder got the distance data directly from the thick wall, and then he used manual mode to adjust the gun.Hitting a section of wall 550 meters away wasn't too difficult a task, breaking through it was a matter of luck.After manually setting the shooting parameters, he waited for the sergeant's order.

"Fire."

Amidst the loud sound of the cannon, a shell flew forward, and the huge vibration of the tank destroyer made the previous camouflage work go to waste, and all the dry grass on the car body was shaken and scattered.

The long rod armor-piercing projectile pierced through the thick concrete wall, and its remaining kinetic energy was still enough to penetrate the weak armor of the infantry fighting vehicle, and the tank exploded immediately.

The Indians lost their patience and no longer took tricks. A sturdy tank rushed out directly from the gap blasted by the anti-tank missile.It fired smoke grenades while firing its parallel machine guns.A missile flew towards it, but in the smoke, the shooters in the rear lost their target, and the missile lost, dragging a length of wire across the river.Indian tanks immediately opened fire and killed the two members of the missile launch team.At this time, the second Indian tank was raised high, and with its strong power, he directly crossed the dam and rushed into the open field. The Indian soldiers behind followed up and began to charge.

The gunner quickly lost the first target in a white mist in the scope. He turned to the second target. The high speed of the enemy made his tracking a little troublesome, and the countermeasure system of the enemy tank quickly sensed the laser Measure the distance and start countermeasures.This forced him to use the white light sight in his right eye to manually aim, and quickly verbally instructed the commander behind him to manually install the watch.

With a bang, the loader finished loading.The gunner fired hastily and missed.The turret slowly rotated to follow the rumbling T90, this time he had to be more patient so that the angular velocity sensor could capture the opponent's movement steadily.The enemy noticed the huge flames and quickly saw the tank destroyer hiding in the building.It began to turn the turret to aim. Within 6 seconds, the loader loaded the second shell with incredible speed.Second launch.The long-stem armor-piercing projectile penetrated into the side armor of the Indian tank at a high speed, and the enemy tank continued to impact for a while with its huge inertia, and then stopped.Abad saw several tankers, got out of the turret and fled backwards.He immediately told the gunner to turn his head to look at another tank, but that tank was already out of range.He ordered the chariot to back up, pushed a wall of the stables, and fell straight out.

Another tank continued to advance slowly with the help of smoke 200 meters away.It has been hit several times from the front by various firearms in the front line of defense, but it has not been penetrated.

"Only five shells left." The second gunner shouted from below.

"Don't worry so much, hit him on the side."

The gunner does not use laser rangefinder, such distance is completely unnecessary, now it is only necessary to track the movement of the enemy.He aimed the aiming mark injected with light dots at the chariot, and waited for the steering gear to turn in place. He was only worried that the enemy would continue to release smoke, which would block the white light sight.

Flames suddenly burst out of the smoke on the opposite side, and the huge silhouette of the enemy tank suddenly stopped.It ran over a mine and the tracks were blown up.Abad was taken aback. Since he came here, no one had ever told him that there were still mines in this open space. His chariot also reversed at night in the same way, but he didn't know why it didn't hit it.
