Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 186 Beware of Temptation
"Lieutenant Colonel, how is our weather reconnaissance?" asked the Colonel.

"Every six hours. Updates by radio."

"Can it be increased to once every 2 hours? Need complete information, cross wind, drift, longitudinal wind, air pressure, etc..."

"I see. Let me contact the headquarters to see if I can add a mobile observation station."

Ali said, stood up and walked towards the radio station.The Chinese correspondent on the side stood up.

"Reporting to the commander, the latest enemy report, 105 bearings, the Su-30 fleet broke through the air defense circle and rushed to the south. The base thinks it is likely to be looking for us."

"Notify the companies immediately, don't stop. Increase the speed to more than 35 kilometers." Yu Zhendong said, he knew that if the opponent dispatched Su-30MKI, the possible weapons would be KH29T TV-guided missiles or laser-guided bombs.He has conducted similar air-to-ground confrontation exercises before, and it is difficult for TV-guided missiles or laser-guided bombs to hit vehicles traveling at a speed above medium speed, of course, that is not absolute.A good weapon operator can maneuver the missile to hit a 5X5 low-speed target. The launch vehicle and command vehicle of the A100 system are much larger than this size, so they move faster.

"Lieutenant Colonel, has the Indian's reconnaissance really reached the point of pervasiveness during this period?"

"Yes, the drones are watching us almost 24 hours a day. I believe their tornadoes are waiting for us to stop, but as long as we don't enter the 'red line', the tornadoes can't do anything to us. So they can only send air force during the day It is the first time to use missiles to attack at night," Ali said.He pointed out that the "red line" is a line he drew with a red pen on the map, which is roughly a parallel line 70 kilometers along the west bank of the Indus River, because the headquarters judged that the Indian tornado rocket launcher is about 20 kilometers away from the east. , based on their range, this is the area they may suppress.

"Is it like this?" Yu Zhenning raised her eyebrows in thought. The A100's range does have some advantages, but if you don't enter the red line, you will only be left with the Gilter Mountains area in the eastern section of Balochistan.In these rugged and uneven mountainous areas, there is not even a flat ground where you can launch.And once the road network on which to maneuver is lost, this will create opportunities for the enemy's free air force.

"Report to the chief, the alarm has been lifted." The correspondent said.

"gone back?"

"They just hit another target and turned back."

"I just said, they can't do anything to us at night." Ali said proudly. Before Yu Zhendong came, his command was at least so-so in terms of escape. Within a few days, about 70.00% of the troops were preserved. down.

"Very good, let the first company enter the preset No. 14 position. Prepare to shoot and mark the target according to the simple mode." Yu Zhendong said.

"We're going to fight back now? But their drone threat hasn't been lifted yet. I'm sure it's flying overhead?" Ali was surprised. He thought the Chinese colonel would wait until the next HQ9 system was deployed. , began to fight back, did not expect him to be so impatient.

"No, it's not counterattack. I just want to stop on purpose to see the enemy's reaction speed. Anything else, I also want to see our reaction speed."

"Then we have to be quicker."

Tens of kilometers away, 4 heavy tanks and other loading vehicles and support vehicles followed, divided into two teams.The rocket launcher turned east and drove along the country dirt road to a measured preset position.This shooting was already planned, and the shooting documents had already been drawn up.It's just a period of time ahead of the preset time.According to the plan, the target of the attack is the armored forces assembled on the west bank of India within 65 kilometers. It is known that they have gathered tens of thousands of people, but some key technical weapons have not yet fully crossed the river.This is the best opportunity to attack with terminal sensitive bullets.The first company will enter the position at the fastest speed. The vehicle's reference direction is staggered from the shooting line, and it is 30 degrees oblique to the target. This is done to make full use of the direction of the shooting area, avoiding unnecessary backing and backing when evacuating, and fully achieving fast forward. The principle of fighting fast and running fast.The soldiers also knew that the position of this preset position happened to be within the "red line".

4 rocket artillery vehicles quickly entered the position according to the predetermined route.From the moment they stopped, Yu Zhendong, who was sitting in the distance, began to count the time with his watch.This is a rapid fire that is completely calculated by the computer to shoot the elements, and each vehicle only shoots one missile.Due to insufficient weather preparation, it was impossible to shoot accurately, so he didn't want to waste ammunition.What the Chinese colonel wants to know most now is whether there is really an expert in the enemy artillery on the opposite side. Judging from Ali's previous description, there should indeed be an expert.If it turns out that person doesn't exist, and the enemy's reaction time and accuracy are terrible, he'll be free to shoot at the enemy's armored cluster.

"Comrade commander, all parts are operating normally. The fire control system is operating normally."

"Very good." Yu Zhendong kept looking at his watch, 2 minutes had passed.

"The front and rear hydraulic jacks have been lowered. We are adjusting the direction of shooting." The operator in the front row of the command vehicle said without looking back.Yu Zhendong found that the reaction speed of the Pakistani soldiers on these positions was not slower than that of the Chinese soldiers, which shows that the level of training is still good. Of course, it is partly due to the tempering of the war in these days. They should all know what time means.

"Correct aiming, check line-of-sight offset."

"The calibration of the shooting angle of the quadrant is completed, the rectangular target is predetermined, and the shooting starts to set up the elements. The ballistic preparation is completed, please instruct."

Yu Zhendong stood up and looked at the data on the screen. This rapid shooting was not based on precise geodesic elements, nor did he have complete ballistic and meteorological preparations. In principle, it was just a test firing.

"emission."

In the night, the four fire dragons roared and flew into the air, then disappeared into the clouds and gradually disappeared.Without waiting for the command vehicle's command, the launch vehicle on the ground began to put away the hydraulic jack in a hurry. When the wheels of the loaded chassis fell to the ground, the vehicles began to withdraw from the position in a panic. Cars No. 3 and No. 4 waiting behind almost hit each other. Together.Sitting in the command vehicle, Yu Zhendong could hear the voices of the two drivers shouting at each other on the radio. He didn't have time to care about these details, but he already knew the general level of discipline of this army, and the shooting in the future must not exceed 2 The vehicles must appear in the same position, otherwise there will be chaos when retreating.At this time, it was less than 4 minutes before entering the position, which was considered a very hasty shooting.However, he was satisfied with the soldiers' proficiency in operations. It seemed that the main problem with the mediocre record of this unit was still the commander.Thinking of this, he glanced at Battalion Commander Ali at the side.

"Will they fight back?" Ali asked.

"Why do you ask me?" Lao Yu suddenly felt amused, "I've only been here for a few hours."

"I'd say they will," Ali said, shrugging.

The dark night sky suddenly glowed red, the clouds seemed to be burning suddenly, and dense fire snakes descended from the sky, engulfing the forests and roads around the 14th position in an instant, and the sound was so loud that the command vehicle [-] kilometers away could hear it arrive.Yu Zhendong is very familiar with the explosion sounds of various ammunition in tornadoes. He can hear that the Indians used fragmentation cluster ammunition, which can burst out a large number of submunitions to cover the target to the greatest extent, but this is not a countermeasure. Armored ammunition, which shows that they have known the nature of the target for a long time, and they are completely prepared.Fortunately, the first company had already left the position a few minutes earlier.The information collected by the nearby infantry observation station was quickly collected in his command vehicle. Yu Zhendong found that there was indeed a strong opponent staring at him across the Indus River. From the analysis of the opponent's launch time, the tornado should have stayed at several fixed points. There should be no sign of relying on GPS or side ground equipment at all.It can also show that the technical support of the Indians is very effective. The information between the reconnaissance equipment and the fire control unit should be transmitted through the data link, and the measurement of the target coordinates is very accurate.In addition, judging from the accuracy of the enemy's shooting, the commander has a very high tactical quality, and has well controlled the walking area and lateral distance. This is not a result that can be simply scored according to the shooting table.According to the ready-made NATO or Russian shooting table, it is difficult to rule out the inevitable error caused by the difference in the earth's rotation in different latitudes (Yu Zhendong knows that India has not yet compiled its own rocket launch table), which shows that some of them are man-made. Corrections are working.

"Correspondent, talk to the country. Ask the satellite to scout the enemy's position." Yu Zhendong said.

"clear."

"When are we going to fight back? I mean kill those tornadoes?" Ali asked.

"Tomorrow morning." Yu Zhendong replied.

"It's that simple?" Battalion Commander Ali was a little puzzled.He felt that the Chinese colonel's answer was too light.

"The enemy will definitely move, so it's more complicated than you imagined." Lao Yu replied with a smile, which made the other party a little confused.

Under the same night, 300 kilometers away, Yahini was gathering his troops.Half an hour ago, Battalion Commander Younis had his legs broken in the first round of enemy fire and is now in a coma.For some reason, the battalion commander guaranteed a sergeant to command the ensuing battle in the last communication with his superior before fainting.Maybe he was bluffed by Yahini's exaggerated record, maybe he just lost his head due to excessive blood loss.But the division headquarters of the 16st Armored Division knew that their plan had been revealed after the battle, and the enemy command would obviously be aware of the loophole left by the No. 16 Division after giving up its flanking advance.The reconnaissance also confirmed this point. Although it was too late for the 16th Division to turn around by itself, an armored unit from the southern friendly forces was rushing to help here, trying to plug this gap. Perhaps the [-]th Division would shrink soon after dawn.Now is not the time to care about the command level, but the time has come when a dead horse needs to be a living horse doctor.
