Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 319 Cut off the escape route

The purpose of Lao Ding's report to Lin Huaisheng was to mobilize the air force to chase and kill the S300 unit, because once the enemy escaped the railway bridge, his tanks could only stop the pursuit.The main task of these tanks is to create chaos and destroy the transportation line, and it is not their task to counterattack to Karachi.

The tank group adjusted its orientation and hurriedly chased towards Zhengdong. Originally, he could use a few laser beam-driving missiles to destroy the target, but before the 19th regiment was wiped out, all the missiles were consumed, and the ammunition that Lin Huaisheng could collect was only It's just armor-piercing bullets, which makes solving the battle a twists and turns.

The appearance of these T90s caused the nearby Indian army to fall into huge chaos. Although these tanks have not fired a single shot so far, their pursuit to the east was understood by most Indian soldiers as the armored soldiers taking the lead in fleeing.Some unsteady troops even began to retreat eastwards, completely blocking the already chaotic road.

At the same time, the closely held 43rd Tank Regiment of the Indian Army is facing the biggest crisis in [-] years. The last time this historic unit was defeated was in northern Libya. Since then, it has never tasted a defeat.

Sandor and his hulking tank were completely caught in a pinch, and no matter which direction the tank pointed its guns, it would expose its weak flank to enemy fire from the other direction.In addition, the extremely low loading speed of the Arjun tank made it impossible to reflect the numerical advantage of the 43rd regiment.

Wang Yanqiu clearly saw the enemy's strategy on the mountain. They were using the wreckage as cover and retreating slowly. Obviously, it was not realistic to rely on Yahini's tanks and a company of infantry fighting vehicles to completely eat up this enemy.He didn't want the battle to drag on until daybreak. The enemy command was recovering from the chaos, which was evident from the way the enemy near Jebri was shrinking and reorganizing. In fact, the enemy was doing better than he had imagined.Once the sky brightened, they might be able to judge their strength and intentions.

He used the radio to communicate with the early warning command plane and informed that the S300 threat had been lifted, hoping that the Air Force could send fighter jets to attack Jebri.

When the early warning aircraft took off, it carried two liaison officers to be in charge of communication and coordination with the Lin Huaisheng task force. Within 2 minutes, the command aircraft made a judgment, and she issued an attack order to the Shamsi base. On the runway, the J-2BS fighter jets loaded with bombs, under the cover of two J-3A fighter jets and an electronic warfare aircraft, quickly bullied and rushed towards Jebri.

The J-11BS fighter jets are equipped with new types of satellite-guided joint direct attack munitions. These weapons are used for the first time in Pakistan's southern front, mainly to make up for the lack of night-time ground attack capabilities of the PLA Air Force.

Unlike previous formations, this attack also has an electronic warfare aircraft flying with the formation, ready to carry out electromagnetic suppression and hard strikes on radar targets at any time.Although the Chinese Air Force was divided into three regions that could not support each other to fight in this war, the exploration of combat methods on each front still communicated with each other. The experience and lessons learned from combat aircraft cooperation.

The latest experience gained from Aksai Chin shows that the electronic jamming of the team is the biggest headache for India's ground air defense forces, which can also make up for the lack of range of satellite-guided bombs (the range is smaller than that of enemy air defense missiles).

In September, the battle line was approaching the final corridor of Pakistan. Looking at it from a bright perspective, the attack efficiency of the Chinese and Pakistani air forces has indeed far surpassed that of the Indian air force. After taking off, Shamsi's aircraft can really pose a threat to it Yes, only India's anti-aircraft firepower.

As the formation was approaching, Liu Zhaolin had been paying attention to the radar warning device.He has not trusted the escorting J-10 fighter jets, nor the EJ10 electronic warfare aircraft accompanying the team. In fact, he has reservations about all J-10 fighter jets, even though so far, the combat results of various types of J-10 aircraft are higher than those of the J-11 fighter jets. Much higher than the heavy J-[-] series.

"Lionheart, don't be too careless with your escort formation. Don't just stare at Karachi's warning radar. What you need to be careful of is the guidance radar that emerges from the mountains at any time."

Liu Zhaolin said angrily to the radio station.

"We already know all of this." Song Ning of the escort formation replied bluntly.He felt that Liu Zhaolin had already been shot down once, made an emergency landing with serious injuries, and damaged two planes. In any case, it was not his turn to remind everyone what to be careful about?

Song Ning looked down at the monitor to make sure of his teammates nearby, and Zhao Lin followed him closely.The pilot of the jammer just came from a domestic transfer, he was a little nervous, and his flight movements were rather stiff.However, everyone will have such a period of discomfort, he is not worried that novices will drag everyone down.

The early warning aircraft just told Song Ning that the S300 troops on the west bank of the river hadn't had time to deploy yet and were fleeing, but everything had to be taken care of, and no one could guarantee that there wasn't an air defense missile unit ambushing nearby. Liu Zhaolin's opinion on this point might be correct .

A ranging radar appeared at the 095 azimuth, and EJ10 quickly analyzed the radiation source. It was a ranging radar for an anti-aircraft artillery position. It seemed unnecessary to launch an anti-radiation missile.The early warning aircraft reminds the pilot to perform ordinary electronic suppression.

The formation is getting closer and closer to the railway bridge at Jebri, but no warning radar is found nearby. Usually, the long-range warning radar scan is the first sign to judge the existence of a surface-to-air missile position, but it is not absolute.Liu Zhaolin and his wingman set about disarming the bomb and using radar to search for the railway bridge.Suddenly, alarms sounded in the cabins of all the aircraft, and the entire formation was intercepted by a powerful guidance radar at the same time as a batch of targets.It is preliminarily judged that the distance of this radar is less than 40 kilometers. Judging from its characteristics, it is a phased array radar, and the energy emitted by the main front is amazing. Obviously, it cannot be deceived by ordinary passive interference.

"Didn't the intelligence department say that there is no problem? This is not Sam [-] the fuck."

Liu Zhaolin yelled.He didn't like to deal with anti-aircraft positions, because according to the order of attack of these missiles, priority was always given to heavy aircraft.

"Don't worry, it's an S300V system." Song Ning said, he knew that the enemy still hadn't finished shooting preparations, this kind of semi-active missiles couldn't rely on a tracking radar to complete the firing, and at least one irradiation radar was needed for difficult irradiation .Although it is also called the S300, this old missile is not exactly the same as the S[-]PMU. Not only is the range not far enough, but it is also easier to be jammed.

"Yaodongguai, I suggest you raise your altitude, get ready to suppress the radar, and fire your weapons." Song Ning said to the electronic warfare plane that was in a daze.These novices are always less proactive and prefer ready-made commands.

"Understood." The pilot on the electronic warfare plane replied.

Song Ning judged that the enemy should still be in the stage of target recognition, tracking, or command vehicle allocation of targets. This process will last about 20 to [-] seconds, so now is the time to race against time and prepare for countermeasures.In any case, the altitude must be seized first, otherwise the range of the anti-radiation missile will be insufficient.

Liu Zhaolin and his wingman increased their speed, broke away from the formation, and continued to use the navigation pod to fly at a low altitude close to the mountain. His airborne radar had other uses, and he had to find the distant railway bridge as soon as possible to guide the weapon.However, he still had to monitor the movement of the enemy's surface-to-air missiles all the time to see if the electronic warfare aircraft was working.

In an instant, the radar completed the range measurement, and the launch time was ripe. Without hesitation, he immediately dropped all the bombs.The bomb unfolded its huge folded wings in the air, and then began to adjust its course to fly towards the target.

Satellite-guided bombs are a unique advantage of the Chinese Air Force, and they are bound to gradually emerge in this war.India has almost no comparable weapons in this field. Even if the United States restores the GPS positioning system on the subcontinent, the accuracy of satellite positioning that India can grasp is still far inferior to China's self-controlled Beidou positioning system.And this kind of relatively cheap gliding bomb is undoubtedly the most suitable weapon for a long-term war.

Spanga's anti-aircraft artillery units deployed on both sides of the railway bridge opened fire on the swooping "drones".A few bombs were hit and lost their aim and landed in the river, but most of the bombs fell in the middle of the iron bridge, which is the weakest area of ​​the bridge in the hands of Pakistani engineers.In an instant, flames engulfed the bridge and blew it in two.

The EJ10 plane was ahead of the enemy and carried out a powerful suppression of the tracking radar 10 kilometers away, and the effect was immediate. All other fighter planes in the formation were released from the state of being continuously tracked, except for the EJ[-] plane itself, which was still blocked by this aircraft. The external radar is firmly grasped by the way of capturing the source of interference.

The early warning aircraft immediately instructed Liu Zhaolin, who was closest to the enemy's radar, to approach the target and launch anti-radiation weapons. Due to the huge bomb load and two-seat advantage of the J-11BS, in most missions, it always carried anti-radiation missiles.

Liu Zhaolin checked the position of the enemy's guidance radar through the data link. It was located east of the Nar River. Although it was interfered, the phased array radar was still scanning in a sector.This allowed anti-radiation missiles to quickly grab the radiation source.Liu Zhaolin turned the nose of the plane slightly and flew towards the enemy plane, raising the altitude a little for safety.He suddenly found it very interesting to think that he would launch a Russian-made anti-radiation missile to attack a Russian-made radar.In principle, India's S300 system has a range advantage, but the electronic warfare aircraft suppressed it so hard that Liu Zhaolin almost broke through them, and these missiles have not been able to fire so far.

In the enemy formation, an illumination radar was finally turned on, and it aimed at the EJ10 aircraft in the formation.This was a dangerous signal, and sure enough, the early warning aircraft immediately notified the bad news that two missiles were approaching the formation.

This is a blow that must be borne hard.Although the electronic warfare aircraft suppressed the enemy's tracking radar, causing the entire system to lose most of its command correction capabilities, the semi-active seeker on the missile may still follow the continuous wave reflection signal and track a certain target in the formation. Fighter.Although the possibility of this is very small, it is still necessary to apply a little passive interference.

All the aircraft in the formation began to release a large amount of chaff at the same time.A passive interference corridor is formed. During the approach, the two missiles were detonated successively by wrong proximity signals.The latest one exploded just 2 meters below the EJ[-] aircraft, scaring the pilot half to death.
