Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 285
Tasim chooses an adjustment range of 0.2 mils in the high and low direction (upper is positive), and a 0.1 adjustment in the direction of shooting.This is a conservative setting. He has no basis for the comprehensive correction of grenade shooting, especially when shooting at a blurred outline through the thermal imaging channel at night. However, conservative settings are also good. Even if you miss, you can still shoot Provides a new impact point for the next shot.

The 125mm gun fired again.The gunner watched the slightly curved trajectory fly towards the Indian tank, which was slower than the armor-piercing projectile.The shell just happened to hit the gap above the bunker. It can be seen from the night vision device that explosions occurred at the same time at the front and back of the bunker, apparently detonating the reactive armor of the enemy vehicle.He estimated that the power of the explosion should at least destroy all the observation/aiming equipment and remote-controlled machine guns on the turret of this T90 tank; sure enough, the Indian tank immediately lost its composure and began to reverse blindly. The side of the body leaked out.Another Type 99 tank waiting for the opportunity seized the opportunity and fired an armor-piercing projectile, which hit its rear hull and completely destroyed it.

"Reverse the car and leave the place." Aki said calmly.The chariot began to retreat backwards, and Indian artillery fire flew by from one side from time to time. Judging from the ballistic trajectory, their aiming through the thermal imager still lacked some accuracy, and they could not capture the target for a long time, perhaps because of overuse.

As the vehicle retreated further, the enemy stopped firing.Axi, you took the remaining 7 vehicles and quietly returned to the previous distance. Sure enough, within the maximum scale of the armor-piercing projectile, you found the one-way transparent position of the battlefield again.This distance does not exist in the manual. It was completely touched by a series of Indian tanks before. This can be roughly understood as the difference in the night vision equipment of these two vehicles in this hot season. Continue to drive 2, 300 meters, I believe Baihu Division's T90 can see him, so this distance must be carefully considered.Of course, if one or two shots are fired at this extreme distance, the Indians will see the ballistic trajectory, and at the same time, the gradually heating turret will stand out from the background of the T90 thermal imager, so it cannot stay for too long.

Yahini notified the rest of the vehicle crew through the inter-vehicle radio station to also take advantage of the thermal imaging camera to start shooting outside the enemy's countermeasure distance.He turned the observation mirror to look around, and inadvertently saw a huge burnt wreckage not far away. Its shape was different from the T90 wreckage strewn about in the wilderness.The turret of that tank was significantly larger and mounted on the rear of the chassis.

"Wouldn't it kill all these T90s?" He said to himself in surprise.This is simply unbelievable. He knew that the front armor of that chariot was only capable of resisting small-caliber weapons.

"All attention, use the sub-panel comprehensive correction, shoot 2 times at the maximum speed, and then retreat 300 meters, those are not T72s that are blind at night, so be careful." He then added.In fact, at this distance, he is still very sure about the front armor of the Type 99, which is about the distance between the Type 99G and the T90S without penetrating the front; but he also knows that a good tanker should rely on his brain, rather than armor.He is still thinking, how did that outdated Type 89 destroy so many T90s?If it was possible, I should have met the old man who spoke so rudely.

Lin Huaisheng stood on a high slope and saw the firefight in the northeast from a distance. He was not sure what was going on. The Pakistani military officer beside him volunteered to contact him, hoping that a paratrooper chariot could take him there.This idea coincides with Lin Huaisheng's. He can determine the scale of reinforcements and the frequency of contact. He knows that the tactical radio and data link ports of those tanks can completely restrain the not-so-powerful electromagnetic interference within 7 or 8 kilometers. coordinate.

The powerful data sharing function brought by the universal data link, as well as the prescient deployment of the UAV troops at the headquarters in the south, allowed Lin Huaisheng to fully grasp the enemy's movements, but all the UAVs did not carry anti-tank missiles, which was regarded as A serious misstep.

Judging from the reconnaissance of the entire southern theater, the main force of the Indian 10th Army is advancing from the direction of Gilgit. They have finished their rest in Karachi ahead of schedule and began to rush to the northwest. The Air Force is a few relatively backward wings. The main combat power of this force comes from the T72 tanks of the armored forces. under military surveillance.

Advancing from the relatively flat area in the southern section of the Suleiman Mountains are the White Tiger Division and the 43st Armored Division, with small but elite troops.Since the White Tiger Division owed a regiment, the Indian military seems to have assigned the Independent [-]rd Armored Regiment to the White Tiger Division.The drone has found many straggling tanks through night vision equipment in the mountainous area. After identification, they are all Arjun tanks.These heavy tanks are obviously not suitable for operations in mountainous areas.

At this moment, Wang Zhenbei has about 20 tanks and an estimated battalion-level infantry detachment, and he is waiting seriously. His advantage is that the number of drones ensures a one-way transparency on the battlefield, but the number of enemies is more than 10 times that of him. His superiors have given him the order to stand by and wait for help, but Lin Huaisheng knows that if Quetta Airport cannot be put into use immediately, it is obviously meaningless to stand by.Now Lin Huaisheng is very anxious. Although he has many people in his hands, he lacks heavy equipment and cannot drive so many Indian tanks out of the airport. On the contrary, if the Indian commander on the opposite side is determined to attack, he might be able to drive him away. .

"Chief of Staff, urgent call from headquarters."

Lin Huaisheng grabbed the communicator.

"Kunlun, this is the ground command, waiting for a call."

"Lin Huaisheng, can you hear me?"

It was Xu Jingzhe's voice that came from the other end.

"Yes, it can be heard, the signal is clear."

"Quetta Airport has been at a standstill for 4 hours, causing immeasurable and serious losses to the entire battle situation. Your superior ordered you to open the air channel immediately."

"I need offensive weapons. Like tanks and helicopters."

"Joke, if you can't get through the air channel, how will these weapons get there?"

About 5000 kilometers apart, the two discussed this unsolvable problem through the relay of the command plane.

"I don't care what method you use, if you can't guarantee at least one runway is clear before dawn, don't come back alive."

Xu Jingzhe dropped a harsh word and ended the communication.

"This is Kunlun, the call has stopped." The command plane reminded.

Lin Huaisheng still stood where he was, holding the communicator in his hand, a little dazed.He knew that the old man had begun to be unreasonable. He had been scolded by teachers a lot in the years he had been a soldier, but this was the first time that this happened today.In the past, as a staff member rather than a chief officer, he would not have been under such great pressure, but today's situation is very different.It was agreed before coming here that he, the chief of staff, is only responsible for leading a few companies to control the airport, and the real commander-in-chief, that is, the guy who will partner with him in southern Tibet in the future, should be on the 21st transport plane , but now all the weight falls on his shoulders.

The guard platoon reminded him that he must move his position immediately, lest the enemy measure the communication position and repeat the old trick again.Only then did Lin Huaisheng regain his senses. He thought in his heart that it would save trouble if a missile really rooted him out, lest he make a mistake in his busy schedule and make a decision to let his brothers die in vain.He got into a jeep and moved north, hoping to make contact with the Pakistani tanks as soon as possible.

Lin Huaisheng was not the only one who felt the same pressure.Indian Prime Minister Kahan has not closed his eyes for two days. He has been sitting in the underground conference room, listening to a group of people reporting the latest battle situation to him like a wheel.At this moment, he was a little absent-minded, not because he was tired, but because the intelligence chief he had been waiting for suddenly left the meeting a few hours ago; and he also knew very well that Charmain's hasty departure might bring him some good news .

"As of 11 o'clock yesterday, the Chinese Air Force has used our army's blind spot on the glacier to invade the border. It has conducted ten trials. As long as they concentrate on Leh, the farthest reaches the northwest of Srinagar." Singh said expressionlessly. Said.

"They have already flown to Srinagar?" Kahan suddenly convulsed from the trance, "That is to say? It's still far from New Delhi..."

"Yes, there are still 600 kilometers left, Your Excellency."

Kahan shook his head vigorously, like someone desperately trying to wake up from a nightmare.

"They're exerting last-ditch pressure on us to get us out of the South, and that's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, and I won't allow it."

Having said this, he stood up unsteadily, as if he was about to make another pep talk, but stood there for a while without saying anything.

Prime Minister Kahan may have really felt a little fear. In the past, he always chose to hold wartime meetings in the underground conference room. It was just for pretending, mainly to remind his colleagues to pay attention to his status as a wartime leader, but it is different now. In the past, China's air force has invaded the head of the Northern Military Region Command, which is not too far from Uttar Pradesh, the core of India.

Seeing that the Prime Minister had nothing to say, Singer continued:
"In the latest situation in the south, our army has cut off their air transportation lines, but the nearest backup force is still 70 to 80 kilometers away. The Army Staff estimates that the enemy still has at least 48 to 72 hours to carry out Some counterattacks."

Kahan waved him to stop, and his eyes fell on the foreign minister's face.Chandra shrugged and said there hadn't been any new information in a few hours.

"Is there no new news from the Chinese?"

"According to your instructions, I have called their foreign ministry and lodged a solemn protest with BJ about the airspace violation. As of now, there has been no official reply."

"Informally?"

"They say today is Sunday and you have to wait for tomorrow ... oh, after 8 o'clock today."

Kahan nodded slightly, but he didn't fly into a rage as usual.The Chinese are stalling for time, obviously wanting to see the situation on the battlefield before responding.

"Our missiles don't work?"

"The radar on the Siachen Glacier is crucial to the air defense from Leh to Srinagar. The Chinese know this very well, so they attacked there immediately." Singh said.

"This shows what?"

"This shows that now their fighter jets suddenly appear from those condescending mountain passes, and it only takes 90 seconds to break through to the vicinity of Srinagar. Our early warning time is not enough, and it is difficult for ground firepower to respond.",

"That means if they fly to New Delhi, our missiles will still have time to respond, right?"

Singer was stunned. He found that it was not easy for the Prime Minister to see a glimmer of positive things from such a crisis.

"It's like this, we have deployed the best S300 missile and radar system in the capital circle, which can make them... come and go."
