Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 349 Short-Range Tactical Missiles
In the prime minister's office in New Delhi, Singh is waiting for the prime minister to summon him.A few hours ago, the Prime Minister once again won a standing ovation from all members of the House of Representatives and an unprecedented new war appropriation by relying on his almost perfect war agitation. This gave confidence to the continuation of the war. He told the audience, India is standing at a crossroads, either leading to victory or sinking again, the enemy will deliberately show its strength at this juncture, and use fear to force the Indian people to make wrong choices, and at this moment he must warn with the loudest voice Opponents, how long they have to fight, India will accompany them to the end!
Khan's speeches were always filled with power and a certain magic that the audience couldn't help but be inspired by.With this new appropriation, the Ministry of National Defense can order large-scale air defense systems from Russia, France, and Israel at the same time. New army weapons and parts will also arrive one after another. However, due to the long production cycle of the Air Force fighter jets, any new orders will be delayed. It is impossible to catch up with this war; however, the report of the Strategic Research Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates that the attitude of the United States may change after the election.India once rejected the US-made aircraft with strict technology transfer restrictions, and now it seems that there is a shortcut to the F35. This fourth-generation aircraft is almost ready-made. This has given India, who doesn't care about the budget, an excellent opportunity to overwhelm the Chinese Air Force technically. The main problem now is that Japan is also preparing to jump in the queue. After all, this country is also under the influence of three generations of China. The serious threat of a surge in the number of computers.

Singh sat alone in the hall for a while, hoping to get the prime minister's final word on the situation in Assam, which is completely out of control.Lieutenant General Chaguye’s report stated that the enemy’s military adventures in the last 24 hours have allowed it to completely control the air superiority north of the Brahmaputra River, which means that all roads in Arunachal are within its borders. In the reconnaissance of aerial eyeliner.After the air missile unit was attacked, the lieutenant general insisted that it was only a matter of time before the land missile unit wandering in the front was discovered by drones, so he suggested that at the moment when China took the initiative to upgrade the level of war, simply use these weapons for a long-range counterattack , Carried out a comprehensive destruction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.He planned to attack a section of road in Deqin County, which is an area that the range of the Land Missile I missile can barely reach; the lieutenant general also pointed out that if the missile force is withdrawn, then they will not be able to reach it. these important goals.

Although Tespur, with his limited radar information, has so far been unable to tell from the ballistic trajectory in the atmosphere whether the Chinese launched a long-range rocket or a short-range surface-to-surface missile last night, Singh has always believed that the short-range missile and the long-range rocket artillery In fact, there is not much difference; instead of letting the land missiles be discovered and destroyed by the Chinese from the air, it is better to strike first, and maybe it will have a miraculous effect, but the Prime Minister is more cautious about tactical ballistic missiles, even in the same country as Pakistan In the ongoing war, India has not yet used this killer weapon.

After a while, the Prime Minister's secretary came out, and he told Singh that the Prime Minister needed to take sleeping pills to rest after his speech in Parliament, and in the afternoon he would go to the front line in Srinagar to boost morale, so he could not meet with him today or participate in the night routine. military meeting.However, he forwarded to Singer a letter in his own hand.

Singh opened the letter, and the Prime Minister wrote:

Mr. Minister, I have heard about the atrocities committed by the Chinese Air Force in Lohit, and I have also seen the request from the frontline generals to fight back.I have to review the policy of backing down on the Arunachal strategy in the previous period. This strategy obviously did not work. The Chinese did not appreciate it in the slightest. They continued to launch fierce offensives in areas where they believed that we were weak.Facts have borne out the oldest maxim in state relations: too much tolerance leads to greater humiliation.

If General Chaguye, based on his professional judgment, believes that it is necessary to use land missiles to counterattack, then don't hesitate to fight hard.Although this road is not the only red channel for their invasion, at least it can send a strong and clear signal politically-we treat it seriously, an eye for an eye!

In addition, General Spanga is facing difficulties, I feel the same, I can not help in military decision-making, but what you proposed in the previous meeting, the logistics command system from the staff of each service, and the inefficient bureaucratic system So necessary was the suggestion that the war ministers were forced to agree under my pressure that the army staff should come directly under the agency to deal with coal burning.

Holding the letter paper in his hand, Singer couldn't help feeling excited. He knew that the Prime Minister had stood up again from the previous period of depression.He immediately called Tespur and told him to give it a shot.

Xu Jingzhe, thousands of kilometers away, immediately intercepted the command sent by the Indian Army Staff through a new code requesting the land missile force to enter the launch position and wait for the next order.The missile unit kept radio silent and did not answer, which made it impossible for Xu Jingzhe to know the enemy's location, nor what kind of warhead these missiles would use, but from the point of view of common sense, if the enemy wanted to use nuclear warheads, it was more likely to use Agni missiles.In addition, from the range analysis of such short-range missiles, they must have been deployed in an area very close to the control line.Is it the one Shanying is following?He has no idea.In any case, all preparations must be made, and the superior must be notified immediately.

Several unmanned reconnaissance planes on standby took off from the front-line airport and began to carry out the most intensive aerial reconnaissance. Liquid fuel missiles tend to produce condensed smoke during the fueling stage, which exposes them, but the southern Tibet itself is shrouded in perennial The water vapor also brought certain variables to the reconnaissance.What the major general is now counting on is actually the few reconnaissance troops that have been scattered. Those large off-road vehicles can easily leave traces when they pass through the mountains, and drones cannot see these traces.In addition, the actions of intelligence agencies also determine the quality of counterattacks. Both the air force and cruise missiles require considerable time to prepare for missions. Although the preparation time for long-range rockets is relatively short, due to ballistic problems, it is difficult to cover some areas.The Dongfeng 11A tactical missile, which has a relatively large range advantage, seems to be a possible alternative due to its advantages in response time, accuracy and ballistic control at the end.Like India, these weapons of China are currently preparing for war on the frontier road network, but they are far superior to their opponents in quantity and quality.

Zhao Changbin was walking through the mountains and forests, trying to find his other team following the fuel tanker.In this area, he can use satellite communication for limited contact. The air defense capability of the Indian army has already existed in name only in the Rohit border area, so the AWACS is usually very close, so he can also choose to have the personnel on the AWACS report. , or report directly to the command post through relay contact, which is better than the Snow Wolf operating west of the Yarlung Zangbo River. In the Upper Subanli area, the Indian-Tibetan special forces have surveillance radio communications and rely on helicopters to obtain high mobility , and in the Rohit border area, almost no Indian helicopters can be seen.

Throughout the morning, the drone was almost flying freely under the clouds. Zhao Changbin saw Indians secretly aiming at it with Sam-7 missiles several times, but these missiles could not detect the infrared signal of the drone. It is the lack of necessary maintenance and maintenance that leads to problems with the seeker.Judging from the reconnaissance situation, the Indians' war preparations in this area are not sufficient.Most of the soldiers of India's 56th Infantry Division are still wearing summer uniforms. In this valley, the temperature will drop rapidly below 5 degrees Celsius after nightfall, and it will be even lower if it rains again; these logistical problems caused Indian troops were deployed to combat the cold weather by reducing night patrols.

The cold wind from the north blew across the mountains weakly, and a piece of long grass slowly fell down. Zhao Changbin had arrived at the designated coordinate position, which was on a hillside, but he did not find his person, nor did he see the person hiding in the mountain. refueling car.He had seen the convoy passing by two days ago and knew it was a huge tank truck that was not easy to hide.So he slowly lay down in the grass, suppressed his voice, and learned two long and one short three partridge calls; The sound of the patrolling male bird, but if there are mountain eagle members nearby, they should know that it is the captain nearby.

After a while, there were several purring sounds from the throat of the "female bird", which seemed hesitant and fake at the same time.In the woods not far away, a Yunnan snub-nosed monkey desperately shook the branches to sound the alarm. Obviously, it heard something was wrong, and it also sensed the danger nearby.

In the grass not far away slowly squatted up a man covered in rags, whose face could not be seen clearly. He pointed to his eyes and made a gesture for the captain to look down the mountain.Zhao Changbin could recognize that it was indeed one of his own, so he slowly leaned over.The monkeys in the forest observed for a while, decided to stay away from the right and wrong place, and gradually ran away playing. Zhao Changbin didn't know how these monkeys moved here from the more northeastern habitat these years. In fact, he hated the local long-tailed langur even more , They are bolder and more curious than golden monkeys, and they will shake the branches for a long time to sound the alarm instead of leaving obediently. For scouts, these things are about ten times more vigilant than Indian sentinels.

"Where is the enemy?"

"It's right there." The team member pointed down the mountain.

Zhao Changbin looked around, and in the shadow of the valley surrounded by clouds and fog, there was indeed a long line of military vehicles parked. If it weren't for some Indian soldiers walking slowly beside the vehicle, it would have been difficult for him to spot it. It seems that the Indian troops in this area are very good at hiding themselves. They are very skilled.

He raised his binoculars and observed slowly, distinguishing the nature of the targets one by one. Finally, he found a special vehicle carrying a field shelter in the convoy.This appears to be some kind of command vehicle, and possibly some kind of side land vehicle.He knows that the tactical surface-to-surface missile developed based on the early surface-to-air missiles, the "Earth", may need to rely on the command vehicle to control the flight attitude, but in the information disclosed by the Indian military itself, the command vehicle of the Land missile has never appeared.Maybe a sidecar?Missile missile launch is similar to artillery shooting, and side-to-ground operations are an essential part.However, these are still secondary. Where did the enemy's missiles go?he thought.His main task is to pull out the nails laid by the enemy before the general attack, and the ground missile can definitely be regarded as a valuable target.

"The enemy has joined forces?"

"Yes, the unidentified military vehicle suddenly appeared in the morning, and it seems to be measuring the preset position. But the missile launch vehicle has not appeared so far."

"Since this is the preset position, it must not be wrong, they will definitely appear."

Zhao Changbin raised his binoculars again to carefully observe the enemy convoys lined up in the valley. An officer was checking the pressure of the fuel on the filling truck, and several other soldiers were connecting the pipeline, as if it would be used soon.If the enemy chooses this place as a preset position, does it mean that they are about to attack?
Xu Jingzhe's command post immediately got the ten-second video data sent by Shanying. This time he finally saw the real body of the enemy with his own eyes. Someone in the staff department immediately verified that there was an artillery general-purpose flanker in the convoy. vehicles and a firing command vehicle.But unfortunately, the enemy's missile launch vehicle is not among them. It is temporarily impossible to judge whether the Type I or Type II missiles will be the last to appear. Maybe these missiles are on their way.

The pressure on Xu Jingzhe has finally eased. What he is facing is a relatively backward single-stage weapon. Whether it is Earth 1 or 2, the biggest problem is that he must refuel with liquid fuel before launching. It can be seen that he still has a few hours. Wait for orders from superiors.This time is enough for the staff to formulate several effective strike plans.However, the enemy’s choice of this valley surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, west, and north must have its own intentions. It is difficult for aircraft to find the target with radar from a distance, and cruise missiles also have their difficulties. After crossing the towering ridge, the altitude must be lowered immediately , and this action is easy to miss the target hiding behind the mountain; it is even more impossible for the long-range rocket to hit this kind of target blocked by the mountain.
