Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 353 Personal Enmity

Inside the Northeast Military Region Command in Tespur, staff officers are facing the dire situation of losing contact with the Land Missile Force.The long-range radars located on the highlands of Nagaland have already detected the launch of Chinese missiles, but these old-fashioned warning radars, which rely on the 360° rotation of the truss-cut parabolic antenna for mechanical scanning, are not designed for anti-missile and cannot be timely and accurate. Tracking and contact with the missile were so short that the command staff could not speculate on the impact point, and the missile disappeared from the screen.

The command staff waited quietly for a few minutes in the underground headquarters. No unit in the entire front reported being attacked, and of course it also included the land missile unit that had no sign of it.Some people began to speculate that it was probably a false alarm, or that the missile launched by China fell into a certain no-man's land. If this is the case, it is very, very normal that there is no report of the attack.Although some staff members suspected that the Land Missile Force had suffered an accident, such thoughts disappeared in an instant. After all, the valley was a secret launch site set up by General Chaguye with a lot of thought. Judging from the dispelled and invisible situation, these ancient strategies of relying on terrain defense are still effective. Even if they encounter an attack, the entire army will not be left without a single report.One of the most reasonable speculations is that the army must be retreating in the mountains, so that it is impossible to send and receive messages.

Most of the staff officers in the headquarters are from the 2nd Mountain Division, and they have some superstitions about their old chiefs; Lieutenant General Chaguye is the most senior general in the army, and has a perfect command record in both the Artillery Regiment and the Mountain Division , In the snow mountain artillery battle more than ten years ago, a regiment-level unit in Pakistan was severely damaged by a late strike.Many people think that he may not be very good at new gadgets, but he has always been good at hiding and sneak attacking, so most people don't believe that the missile force will suffer, even though the launch site is a bit ridiculously close to the control line.The idea of ​​being lucky lasted for a while, and then the doubt that such a large army had completely lost contact gradually surfaced in everyone's minds.

Chaguye himself stood under the huge combat map of the headquarters, wiping away his sweat, and he gradually felt that the situation was not good.From the long-range radar information, it can be seen that the missile launched by China is indeed heading in that direction, and the signal disappears in China. Unfortunately, this old radar does not have the ability to measure altitude, so it is impossible to accurately judge whether the missile may have fallen. where?

"Continue to call on the radio and ask them to report the location immediately." The lieutenant general said, and took a peek at the intelligence chief in the distance, Charmain had been sitting in the temporary seat for him, drafting the telegram, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Pay attention to the disappearance of the land missile unit.

"Sir, the message has been sent, but there is still no response. Perhaps they are withdrawing from the valley?"

"Don't tell me maybe, immediately ask Valong to send the nearest troops to check it out."

"But... didn't you say that no front-line troops are allowed to approach secret units?"

"The exception is now. I have to revise the original order and ask the 5th Division to send someone to take a quick look."

Due to distrust of the generals of the forward forces (Chamain once told him that Chinese intelligence services have infiltrated these divisions, and even the Indian and Tibetan special forces), Chaguye has no confidence in these special forces directly under them (such as the tactical ballistic ballistic and anti-aircraft missile units). ) always adopts the method of entrusting the command to communicate directly with the command to prevent the leakage of the secret route, but now he has decided to make an exception.

At this moment, Charmain finally got up and walked over quickly:
"Lieutenant General, I need to borrow your encrypted communication equipment to send important information back to the Ministry of Defense and the Army Staff. Passwords must be used."

While speaking, he handed the drafted telegram to the lieutenant general. Since he borrowed someone else's communication, he didn't hide it.The telegram was short, written in pencil:

"The front line launched land missiles according to the original plan, and the CCP immediately launched a counterattack with similar short-range tactical missiles. The warhead may have landed around Walong. It can be confirmed that it is not a nuclear counterattack. Most of the frontline communications are smooth and no abnormalities have been found. Currently It is unclear what kind of damage it will cause. I suggest temporarily suspending the land missile attack plan.”

Chaguye glanced at it briefly. These contents are obviously to be reported directly to Singh and even the Prime Minister. Otherwise, he should not have emphasized the part that did not use nuclear weapons. Thinking that he had gone ahead, he never thought that the Chinese might use nuclear bombs.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"In half an hour, the plane of the Secret Service Squadron will land at the airport, and I must return to New Delhi immediately...I probably won't come here again..." The intelligence chief said in thought, "But Mr. Lieutenant General, I hope you can really Be vigilant, every minute from now, the enemy may launch a powerful attack from any point in your defense zone. I think the probability is higher than at any time since 1."

"Okay. I see." Chaguye waited for a while and replied solemnly.However, Charmain could tell from his evasive eyes that the lieutenant general didn't take his warning to heart at all.

Charmain groaned secretly in his heart. He knew that Singer could make this guy a commander because he was not as strong as other generals, and he was always fighting for resources for his own military region. He could completely follow Singer's will, Troops and equipment were withdrawn from this defense zone to Kashmir; but Chamain knew that the reason behind this abnormal performance was that Chaguye, like Singh, did not believe that there would be a large-scale ground offensive in his defense zone.He evaded air raids in the basement every day, relying on a large group of newly recruited ragtags to maintain his defense and self-confidence, thinking that he could scare China off with the advantage of numbers.

The crisis behind the Himalayas is building up, and although it is quiet now, it will explode one day.As an intelligence officer, Charman often habitually thinks from the perspective of his opponent; he believes that even if the 4517B plan does not exist, the original purpose of the Chinese is to keep Pakistan, but if they can get a glimpse of the chaos and chaos in Tespur If you are weak, you will definitely reconsider setting the main attack direction here.

"Commander, I suggest that you can continue to shrink your troops to the rear, abandon some secondary shallow and deep areas, and hold every traffic point. Their attack will definitely have the same place as last time, and it is likely to come from a certain rear area. Out of nowhere, I can't confirm the area's..."

"Okay, Chief, you have to go to the airport soon, maybe there will be another air defense alarm soon, then you won't have time to report to the higher authorities."

There was a hint of hostility in the lieutenant general's words again. He hated people telling him how to do things the most. At present, he still has the final say.Charmain had to leave. He had to return to New Delhi immediately to report to the Prime Minister. At the same time, he had to immediately contact the insiders who were placed in the high-level Chinese to find out the latest decisions of the high-level Chinese.His intuition told him that the attack would not be launched in Kashmir, even if the fort fell. The ratio of troops on the western and eastern fronts was 5 to 1, and the Chinese always attacked weaker enemies first.

Singer received Charmain's telegram immediately, and then a report with similar content from the Army Group Command was also forwarded to him through the Army Staff.

The speed of the Chinese counterattack with short-range missiles exceeded his imagination. Originally, he did not believe that the high-level decision-making mechanism of China was very efficient. This kind of thing should not be decided by the General Staff. It was launched after the Prime Minister personally issued a decision.This matter is obviously not simple, which shows that there has always been a small but efficient group making decisions at the top of China, which is the reason for their rapid countermeasures.He called Chaguye to stop the attacks of several other land missile units. At the same time, he reported the situation on the eastern front through the communication equipment on the prime minister's plane, hoping that the prime minister could return to New Delhi soon.

It is impossible to change the attack plan on Fort ***, it is the Prime Minister's will.In the "overall situational deduction" before the war, the prime minister himself believed that the occupation of the city had little military significance and had a negative political effect.Occupying a city named after Pakistan is an unnecessary stimulus for Middle Eastern oil-producing countries, as the Pakistani government is expected to flee immediately to Peshawar or further afield.However, with the stalemate in the war situation, it seems that there are not many means left for India to quickly end the war. It seems absurd not to use the largest strategic group of the army.The offensive became imminent after Kahan gained unprecedented popularity and parliamentary funding by relying on his three-inch tongue.The Prime Minister even intervened in military operations very rarely, demanding that the occupation of Fort *** must be completed before China's National Day, a great attempt to show determination.

In the Central Mokran mountainous area of ​​Baluchistan Province in southwestern Pakistan, a column of more than ten infantry fighting vehicles is passing through the barren hills. In the flat area more than ten kilometers behind the column, billowing dust billows into the sky. A large number of tank troops are following.

Lin Huaisheng stood on the top of a mountain and held up a telescope to observe the pursuers behind him. He was accompanied by only a few communication personnel, and an infantry fighting vehicle was waiting there at the foot of the mountain, ready to take him away at any time.

In order to go around in circles with Spanga's pursuers, he needs to separate his tank troops from the infantry fighting vehicles. In such a mobilization in the mountains, the problem he will inevitably face is the problem of radio command, so he must often leave the command vehicle and go to a higher level. Coordination is carried out everywhere, but even then, communication gaps often occur.

"Where is that corporal now?" He asked while standing upright, and a half-squatting officer behind him immediately opened the map, put it on his knee, and circled it with a red pen.

"If there is no accident, we have already reached the designated ambush location."

"Damn it, can't find their station yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red signal flare rose in the mountains to the north.

"Red flare, Chief of Staff, they have arrived at the designated location."

"From Jebri all the way to here, it seems that Spanga hates us." Lin Huaisheng said proudly. Of course, he has never understood Spanga's intentions. It is reasonable to say that a professional soldier of his status is completely unreasonable. It should be so impulsive.

"Look, it's T90. It's not the 6th Armored Brigade that Gwoney chased after. It should be a regiment of the [-]st Armored Division." The staff officer's eyes were burning, and he had already judged the model of the Indian tank from the outline in the smoke.

"The T90 is indeed a trouble, but our Pakistani sergeant is quite capable of fighting. If necessary, he can use Lao Ding's T90 to confuse the real one." Speaking of this, it inevitably touched Lin Huaisheng's other mind. The Pakistani Army reserves There was a lot of fuel and ammunition, and Lieutenant Giyam of the Internal Affairs Force who led the way knew the locations of all the secret oil depots, but the local rebels seemed to have the same map in their hands. The precious oil depot was destroyed, which gradually made the prospects of this fully mechanized force gradually worse.The troops completed the last refueling before the fall of Gwani. Now the fuel is more than half, and the ammunition of the armored vehicles is less than half.

"Chief of Staff, don't stand too straight, beware of rebel snipers." An officer reminded.

"I see."

As soon as Lin Huaisheng was reminded, he immediately squatted down.The situation in this area is extremely complicated. A large number of local militias are counting on the Indians' war to help them gain independence. In fact, the Indians have also supported a puppet president of the so-called "Republic of Balochistan". A nondescript inauguration was held.Therefore, Lin Huaisheng not only had to guard against the pursuers, but also guarded against the elusive guerrillas.The satellite dish on his command vehicle was damaged by a guerrilla 40 bazooka many days ago. People carried him back in a bundle.This force has already completed the task of delaying the enemy, but the original plan to throw off the enemy and join Yuzhen East, which is active in the coastal area, was unsuccessful. Spanga is sending armored troops to rush over, and seems to have completely forgotten to attack. Quetta's ambition, the war is turning into a personal grievance.
