Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 343 Precise Search
Whether China and India are already in a real war seems like a ludicrous proposition, after all Chinese planes have dropped bombs on the outskirts of Tespur or Srinagar.But for Kahan and his group of think tanks, it is indeed a difficult problem. From a diplomatic or legal point of view, the two countries seem to be still in a "confrontation" stage.Although Chinese and Indian forces are fighting in three areas, more or more on this front in southern Pakistan than the two fronts in 1962, Foreign Minister Chandra insists that this is only due to misunderstanding The excessive countermeasures between major powers that have occurred, this situation is still a little away from war, if handled properly, this crisis may be able to be resolved smoothly.In his view, it was India's aggressive military plans that spurred China to countermeasures. As long as the two sides can hold high-level talks, there may be a turning point.

"I think if we can dispel this misconception and tell them that our purpose is only to overthrow the Pakistani government that supports terrorism, maybe they will stop; since there hasn't been a real war between nuclear powers for the past 50 years , I think what we are facing right now is just a 'quasi-war', and there is still a lot of room for redemption."

Chandra coined the term "quasi-war" to explain what he was thinking.This made Singh, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help snickering. He felt that Chandra was not only paranoid, but also hopeless. He imagined the Chinese to be as foolish as he was.

"I don't know how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs defines our current war with Pakistan. It is clear that a war between nuclear-armed countries is happening. This red line is crossed by ourselves. Also, the Chinese are not out of misunderstanding They joined in only because they had prepared for it, and they have been waiting for an opportunity for the past 50 years." Singh said, "Now we can only do it in the Indian Ocean to let them know that we are on the ground. The advantages!"

"They rented a large number of oil tankers from the Gulf countries, do you still want to make the situation worse?"

Khan has been listening to his key cabinet members quarrel in the late night memory, tired of these repeated clichés, can not help but a little distracted, so that in a few hours, he himself will participate in the Lok Sabha The Council of War questioned the debates at the meeting, which happened to also be about China policy.His political opponents are changing their strategies. They should demand a tougher line on the China issue. This is India’s overriding political correctness. Although some middle-class and business people are not so optimistic about the war, they are on the road of inciting populist ideas. On the surface, the Congress Party seems to be preparing to go further. Nehru's distant nephew is soliciting supporters in the House of Commons and demanding a formal severance of diplomatic relations with China.China's energy transportation lines in the Indian Ocean have also become the focus of public discussions. Most people believe that it is time to play this card.

"...I don't agree with your above point, it was we who attacked the radar in China first," Chandra raised his voice, and pulled back the slightly distracted Prime Minister, "And now, you want to attack the radar in the Indian Ocean." Hands-on, this will directly lead to the deterioration of the situation in an unforeseen direction. Maybe at that time, their ground troops will cross the ridge and directly enter Kashmir."

"You don't know how the Chinese act. When they show toughness, it is precisely when they are internally weak, just like they suddenly withdrew after the '62 offensive; if we can firmly demonstrate power in the Indian Ocean, it is precisely You can force them to the negotiating table..."

"By the way, is there any further request from the Chinese leadership?" Kahan suddenly interrupted Singh and asked his foreign minister.

"Well, they say the door is always open for negotiations, but the first issue is a ceasefire in Pakistan."

"Is there any request that we withdraw from the current front?" Kahan then asked.

"No. It can be seen that they have a clear understanding of the new Asian pattern, and we should not push them into a corner."

"Don't listen to their nonsense, the so-called negotiation is just a tactic to slow down the war, it's no different from 50 years ago." Singer roared, as if he had seen through BJ's cards at a glance.

"By the way, why didn't Charmain come back to the meeting?" The Prime Minister continued to ask absently.

"He will stay in Tespur to study the enemy's next move." Singer said sadly.

"He thinks the Chinese are going to do it there?"

"Well, Lieutenant General Chaguye believes that the enemy is unlikely to launch a ground attack, and...if they dare to attack, their main transportation line is within the range of our weapons. With a few precise counterattacks, China The main passages into Tibet will be lost, and considering that the cold season is coming, I estimate that these passages will be difficult to recover even by next summer." Singer began to talk nonsense.

Kahan rubbed his sleepy eyes. He was indeed a little tired. He had heard too many contradictory opinions these days, and it was difficult to make a judgment for a while. For the time being, he could only believe what Singh said. impossible.In fact, recently he has always felt that among all the people around him, the silent intelligence chief Charman is the most reliable. He will neither be as weak as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor as arrogant as the Ministry of Defense. Unfortunately, he is not around for the time being.

On the ravine 15 kilometers southwest of Walong, Zhao Changbin was preparing to climb down in the dark. After his superiors delegated the decision-making power to him, he decided to go down to investigate in person.He doesn't expect to be able to rescue two pilots from so many enemies, but he has to try anyway; considering that the higher-ups have a great chance of using cruise missiles to launch an attack, he must also measure the enemy's key targets, the terrain Matching is only a commonly used mid-course guidance mode. If the coordinate position of the main target cannot be known, the attack will still not be accurate.Of course, there is another way, which is to take advantage of the narrow terrain at both ends of the canyon, and directly use fighter-bombers to drop bombs at the entrance and exit to destroy the road. This can also trap this army here, and then block the engineers in other directions. It can also achieve the tactical purpose of not putting it into battle.

He left 2 people on the cliff waiting for communication and monitoring the intersection, and then led the other 3 people to climb down. His night vision device has the combined functions of infrared thermal image and image enhancement, which makes what he sees, except temperature Taller human bodies, trees, rocks in the cold background, and small continents without vegetation can be well distinguished, which is quite useful for crossing complex terrain at night.

Zhao Changbin slowly descended along the cracked rattan, trying not to touch falling rocks or dead branches, so as not to be heard by the enemy. What he worried most was that there were enemy military dogs nearby, which was almost his biggest barrier at night. up.

There was a crackling sound below, and a line of ten Indian patrols could be seen passing by in unison. Zhao Changbin guessed that the ground used to be a river bed, so it was full of stones.He slowed down and hung his hands and feet in mid-air so that the enemy would not notice.

The flashlights of the Indian soldiers swept into the air from time to time, and sometimes the light spots passed by the scouts, but Zhao Changbin was not too worried, he was very confident in his disguise.

When the patrol had just passed by, he had slowly descended to the bottom of the valley and stepped on the cobblestones. Obviously, there used to be a river here, but it has been diverted.He squatted on the spot and waited for a while, and only after all the soldiers behind had come down did he follow the patrol from a distance.He had always learned from experience that it was safer to follow a patrol.At least not suddenly hitting their lights.

The silent valley was covered with tents, all of which were covered with camouflage nets and arranged along the cliffs. The lighting control was extremely strict. Except for the patrols and a few sentries, there was no light at all.These measures are obviously to protect against satellites and drones.The same is true for the trucks, which are parked neatly against the mountain, which shows that the officer of this unit is a man who leads troops well.

Zhao Changbin stopped, and compared the digital map on the computer, he marked the location of the important equipment directly on the map. Once the information was uploaded, the cruise missile could go directly to the bottom of the valley and explode at the marked location according to its information.Having said that, this river valley is really perfect for hiding, except that it used to be a river, enough to paralyze the opponent.It is also difficult for a manned aircraft to penetrate such a narrow valley. Even if it penetrates, it is impossible to complete any precision-guided attack. Fortunately, the Chinese military now has multiple precision strike methods, and it is obvious that new methods can be used to defeat the enemy.

From a distance, Zhao Changbin could see several communication command vehicles parked behind a turning, followed by several tank chassis and the anti-aircraft missiles on them. Zhao Changbin had seen these missiles before when he was on the cliff, but he did not It is still beneficial to see the more concealed command post. He adjusted the focal length of some cameras on the helmet and hoped to return some rough outlines of the target, but the communication with the relay drone had been interrupted.After continuing to walk for a while, the sound of the patrol walking in the distance was completely inaudible.Zhao Changbin squatted on the spot and listened for a while, holding his breath. It seemed to be the monotonous sound of machinery running, and there was also the voice of someone speaking in it. An English with an Indian accent?He turned around the winding river bed and saw a large tent from behind a row of vehicles. A humming generator set mounted on a truck.

You can see 2 sentry posts outside the tent, Zhao Changbin decided to go deep into the camp.He half turned around to signal the people behind to stop, and then he approached slowly in the quietest way.The voice from the tent became clear. Someone was talking, but there was no conversation, and it didn't seem like they were on the phone.As the viewing angle changed, he saw again that the jeep he had just seen in the deep mountains was also parked next to the tent, and the messy pile of parachutes was still in the back seat.On the other side, there were several armored vehicles equipped with machine guns, with their muzzles pointing in all directions. There were people getting on and off the armored vehicles from time to time, obviously they were night guards on duty outside the headquarters.

Major Mogawa of the 296 Squadron (equivalent to a battalion) is in the tent at the moment.He asked the captured Chinese pilots in rough English.The pilot was sitting there, his wounds bandaged, and his freedom unrestricted.The major seemed very accommodating and friendly. There was only him and another adjutant who was waiting to take notes in the entire tent. However, no matter how he asked questions, the slightly injured Chinese pilot remained silent for an hour, as if he could not listen. Know the Major's English.

In the middle of the night, the pilot of the Su-30MKK happened to land near the camp of the 296 Squadron. The search force of this unit immediately dispatched and captured one pilot. During the exchange of fire, the other pilot was seriously injured and died.The major did not break the discipline of radio silence to report the situation, and he sent a liaison officer to drive to Waron to borrow the phone there and report to Tespur.In a few hours, the prisoners would be taken to Warong, where a helicopter would transfer them to Tespur and hand them over to Army Group Command.However, Major Mogawa himself, as the commander of the air defense missile unit, has always been very interested in the combat intention of the Chinese Su-30MKK, so he decided to hurry up and ask some details that he cares about. He knows that the intelligence bureau will never go to these details. Asked.Of course, what he is most concerned about is the situation where the Su-30MKk formation fired radiation-emitting missiles at him a few days ago. Although it missed, the attack also scared him into a cold sweat. , to the approximate time to launch the weapon; in order to adjust the rhythm of the irradiation radar start/fire.Based on outdated experience, Chaguye determined that the area designated for the 296 Squadron was too close to the front, which made it difficult for the major to find a suitable commanding height for his warning mine to start for a long time, so he had to accept the information from the rear long-range radar. To turn on the radar for a short time, it will greatly increase the difficulty of combat for the troops, which is the most troublesome thing for the major at present.
