Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 326 Polaris

At noon, Charman finally met the supreme commander of Tespur, the current deputy commander of the military region and the acting commander of the 4th Army, and the former commander of the 2nd Mountain Division Chaguye.Chaguye also just ran out of the air-raid shelter, looking a little embarrassed.Three days ago, he had just been promoted from major general to lieutenant general, and he moved from the division headquarters in the Dibugua countryside to the army headquarters in Tespur with great contentment.

On the surface, the newly appointed deputy commander controlled the defense of most of Assam, but the 4th Army was just an empty shell, and there was only the 2nd Mountain Division in the sequence. No substantive changes.The rest of the troops under the command of the military are currently doing nothing in Kashmir.Chaguye was a little surprised by Chamain's sudden visit. He has been thinking about the troops directly under the Ministry of the Interior recently, so he still has high expectations for the intelligence chief.He had miscalculated completely, Charmain hadn't come to be under his control, in fact he had been.It's more like coming to take care of him.

In the underground conference room, the conversation quickly became less speculative.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I was ordered to assess the mobilization status of the National Army and report directly to the Prime Minister. I don't know how the situation here is going."

"Conscription orders are posted all over the place," Chaguye said, shrugging, seemingly indifferent.

"Why do I see those Nationalists on the street, all of them are old men, still holding Lee Enfield rifles. The Ministry of Defense is planning to double the army. There are long queues at the gates of the conscription stations in Mumbai and New Delhi, and You seem to be very relaxed here."

"New Delhi doesn't understand our plight. It's simply fanciful to think that local conscription can alleviate the shortage of soldiers here." The lieutenant general complained. "With all due respect, this place is different from other regions. The people here...are not reliable, so...I can't over-arm the locals."

"Separatists in the Northeast?"

"Yes, and there are left-wing guerrillas. They seem to have started to cooperate recently. This month, three police stations have been attacked." The lieutenant general said, lighting a cigarette as if no one else was around.

"Is there any sign of Chinese meddling?"

"do not know."

"You don't seem to know anything?"

"I thought that this should have been told by your intelligence agency, not by me."

A puff of choking smoke hit Charmain's face, and he waved his hand in disgust.Charmain found that the arrogant and polished commander ignored his own warnings, and even began to play tricks; it seemed that he only regarded himself as a spy chief, rather than the prime minister's cronies.

"I'll let my people investigate. The special forces in Lausanne are very good at dealing with left-wing guerrillas."

"Speaking of your special forces, they are completely screwing with me. I can't mobilize a single soldier in Lausanne, but he can mobilize my helicopter unit first."

"The Ministry of Defense believes that he should be given the priority of operations because his men are the most effective fighters."

"It's a joke. I haven't seen him thwart any infiltration by the Chinese."

An adjutant hurried in and interrupted the gunpowder-flavored conversation.

"Lieutenant General, there is bad news. The helicopter of the Ministry of Defense's special service force has just crashed, and the location is the listening post in East Sion."

"what happened?"

"The details are still unclear. Captain Lausanne reported that the crash was caused by foggy weather. The plane crashed in the Brahmaputra River. At that time, they were being attacked by drones."

"Does the enemy have ground forces involved?"

"Yes, they provide laser guidance for drones."

Charmain sat aside, secretly surprised.He knew about the fact that the Ministry of National Defense sent troops directly under it to change the key, but he didn't expect that there would be a mistake so soon.

"What do you think, Chief?" The lieutenant general turned his head and asked Charmain.

"This matter is definitely not easy. I hope that I can send troops to intercept the enemy immediately. While I am still here, I have to get to the bottom of the whole matter." The director stood up and prepared to leave, "I will report directly to the Prime Minister. conditions, including defensive slack, and command inefficiencies."

""

After Charmain finished speaking, he turned and left, annoyed by Chaguye's slow response.He didn't seem to care about the frequent temptations of the enemy, but was only interested in fighting for command.Charmain, the current situation is weird, the most urgent thing is to contact Lausanne immediately, so that he has a force that he can directly control.This crash, most likely not an isolated incident, there may be a conspiracy.The safest way is to change the key again, but he knows that the Ministry of Defense will not agree, thinking that the internal army can no longer stand the toss.

Throughout the morning, Wang Tiechuan led his team to sneak in the deep mountains.The rest of the teams alternated cover in the higher areas.When Baima fell from the sky, she was stabbed in the abdomen by a hard branch, which left a bleeding point in the abdomen that was difficult to solve in the wild.Now that he was in a semi-comatose state, the team could only sacrifice their retreat speed and carry him on their backs in turn.The bad situation didn't stop there. After the fog dissipated, Lausanne came back to his senses. He began to mobilize the helicopter for aerial reconnaissance and guide the large team on the ground to follow.

Lausanne himself is an expert in guerrilla warfare in the mountains. He knows that the enemy retreating in the mountains and forests cannot completely retreat completely.It is quite possible to find them from the air.Sure enough, the Polaris helicopter he sent saw flocks of birds starting from time to time in the woods on the west bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River. It seemed that the Chinese army was there.

A helicopter flew over Wang Tiechuan's head, and it could be seen that a soldier was sitting on the skid, looking down with a telescope.As the helicopter flew a little further away, they heard the sound of dogs barking behind them. It seemed that the pursuers were approaching.It seems that it is only a matter of time before the whereabouts are fully exposed. Wang Tiechuan can only contact the headquarters again through the satellite communication system, hoping to get air support; and put forward the request for personnel to withdraw from the air.

Xu Jingzhe, who was in the military headquarters, immediately received Wang Tiechuan's request, and he began to be in a dilemma. He did have Lu Hang's power that could always be used in battle, but it was a trump card that should not be easily shown. Like the radar that was not turned on, it was a last-minute surprise for the Indians.However, the self-defense capabilities of ordinary helicopters are insufficient, and it is difficult for troops to brave the enemy's firepower to go up the river and complete the dual tasks of interception and response.

Xu Jingzhe thought, what important information did Wang Tiechuan collect so that he needed such an urgent evacuation?
In a valley in Deqin, Yunnan, four armed helicopters received an emergency dispatch order.Moreover, this is not an exercise, but actual combat.

The 4 heavy-duty armed helicopters immediately took off without delay, crossed the valley in Zayu, and rushed to the designated area.Although it was a sudden mission, the pilots were no strangers to this route. It was almost a replica of the recent exercise. They had already practiced similar missions on the Nu River many times.

Under the leadership of the captain Chang Yong, the four planes skillfully used the surrounding mountains to avoid the warning radar deployed by the Indians in the Danba River Valley.The complete reconnaissance in advance has marked the areas that cannot be monitored by the Indian radar system in the navigation system.India did not bother to deploy mobile radar systems in these mountainous areas, but only deployed search radars on commanding heights, but these commanding heights are nothing compared to the mountains in China, so many geographical barriers in the north can be used Avoid India's radar.

The first step of the plan went very smoothly. Four heavy armed helicopters entered the Indian-controlled area unknowingly.

From a distance, Chang Yong, who took the lead, saw the roaring Yarlung Zangbo River. He turned from the valley into the river, and made full use of the cliffs on the west bank to cover his actions.More than a month of special training has enabled the pilots to fly close to the river at high speed. This noisy river is enough to cover up the huge noise of the helicopter.

As the distance to the mission area got closer, Chang Yong began to worry about the problem of target recognition. He hoped that the snow wolf on the ground could think of a way to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Although there is a millimeter-wave radar on the rotor of his plane, it can only recognize armored vehicles. The target is indistinguishable from the infantry.

The weapons operator at the front was keeping an eye on the radar display. In fact, when scanning low altitudes, the range of this millimeter-wave radar was about the same as the line-of-sight range.

Soon the radar found a fast-moving target slightly higher than itself.After a few scans, the software identified the target as a Polaris helicopter.A few seconds later, Chang Yong could already see the plane, and then he saw the red smoke bombs on the ground.

According to the plan, he called several times on Snow Wolf's channel, but he failed to get in touch.The command plane at the rear told him that the red smoke bombs were launched by Snow Wolf to point at the target.At this time, he was already very close to the Polaris that was searching, and the other party's attention hit the ground, and he was completely threatened to find that it was approaching close to the river.

It is often used to remind other aircraft to launch rocket attacks on the indicated area, while I keep my eyes on the Polaris and prepare to launch a surprise attack.He switched on the missile seeker power and continued to sneak up on the enemy.He knew that there was only one machine gun on that light helicopter, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

After approaching a distance of 500 meters, the air-to-air missile hadn't caught the heat source of the Polaris. Chang Yong had to remind the weapon operator to use the machine gun to solve the problem.

Indian pilots were flying around the forest below so that a shooter sitting on a skid could shoot as steadily as possible.As soon as the pilot looked up, he saw a huge gunship flying towards him, almost frightened to death, and quickly pulled the lever to turn around and escape.

A stream of 23mm shells flew towards the target, and the Polaris immediately began to smoke, but showed no sign of falling.At this time, the fully cooled seeker finally caught the heat source of the target.There was a beeping sound of target interception in the cabin.The shooter pulls the trigger, launching 2 missiles.He didn't know if this was the first time in the history of war, but he only knew that the huge smoke after the launch of the two missiles blocked his sight, so he quickly turned and got out.The Polaris ahead was gone, but a huge flame was rising deep in the forest, and it seemed to have crashed.
