Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 361
Four JH-4 fighter-bombers took off from the airport and filed into the mountainous area; India has deployed long-range radars in the sea and in the east. The pilot's own judgment.Since the reports sent back by the two J-7 fighter jets in front indicated that the troops of both sides were very close together, and the equipment styles were mixed (especially the T2S in the hands of Lin Huaisheng), such a situation would obviously bring great impact to the pilot's target confirmation. troubled.

The few Thunder fighter jets that took off afterwards could only fly side by side with the bomber formation along the coast from the sea. This batch of fighter jets could not carry low-altitude navigation pods, and the pilots were not qualified enough for the whole low-altitude raid, so they could not follow the Flying Leopard formation. However, if it is escorted at high altitude, it will easily attract the attention of the enemy's radar, and it can only feint at sea at a distance of 100 kilometers.The eagle formation whose position is unknown so far has always been Major General Islam's biggest worry.The Chinese early warning aircraft responsible for the defense of the northern airspace has never found any signs of this batch of fighters flying towards Fort ***. In the central part of Pakistan, it took a lot of trouble to turn to the Suleiman Mountains. These enemy planes will suddenly appear in various areas of the southern front. A huge obstacle blocking the radar line of sight.In any case, in a few minutes, the whereabouts of this group of enemies will be concluded.

Song Ning turned around and returned to the top of the road. He deliberately raised the altitude to detect the reaction of the opponent's radar. At such a distance, he could completely throw off the radar. It was seen by the early warning aircraft in the middle, and it took at least 300 minute to fly close, so he had enough time to deal with it.

A Chinese liaison officer on ZDK-03 reminded him that the JH-9 formation had already taken off, and now he needed to pay special attention to the northeast direction.This liaison officer seems to be quite experienced. The Indian Air Force is also afraid of the Red Flag 2 missiles deployed in the coastal areas, so they will not carelessly cross the Suleiman Mountains and turn south. If they really want to attack, they should Turns in the Gilgit mountains.Song Ning still had 2 medium-range ammunition and 29 fighting ammunition left, just over half of the fuel. He asked about Sammy's situation. Frame MiG [-].This surprised Song Ning, the old man always acted so unexpectedly.He guessed that the old man probably felt that the medium-range ammunition was in the way in the mountain battle, so he fired it first.This area is in the overlapping area of ​​the long-range surface-to-air missile envelopes of the two sides. Aircraft from all sides are unwilling to fly too high and become a conspicuous target. Fighting bombs are naturally more useful.

Song Ning was used to the colonel always being as calculating as a chicken thief in battle, but he didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, the colonel often looked too light on the enemy, which was probably one of the reasons why the old man was shot down.

"Lionheart 2, please report the status of your weapons and ammunition?"

Seeing that Song Ning didn't ask him why he used medium-range ammunition instead of combat ammunition, the colonel asked Song Ning seriously. He also heard Song Ning report to the early warning aircraft and shot down a MiG-29.

"I haven't expended ammo yet."

Song Ning replied frankly.

"What? Was that MiG-29 really shot down?" the colonel asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true, and it's a lead plane. You can check with 'Viper'."

The conversation between the two parties on the VHF radio was also heard by the major general on the AWACS. He immediately confirmed that the AWACS saw the MiG-29 crashed in the mountainous area and was hit by an S300 missile.Sammy stopped talking immediately.

On the ground, Lin Huaisheng received another order from the short wave, asking him to use red smoke bombs to indicate the location of the target to avoid accidental injury.The headquarters apparently also received the information he sent to report the battle situation, so it seems that the two-way communication problem has been solved. There must be a very powerful radio station and a large antenna near the Quetta base, so that it is possible to be separated by hundreds of miles. Kilometer resumed contact with him, at least there was no dedicated short-wave communication vehicle there when he left.He didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the infantry who had already dismounted to fire smoke bombs to indicate the enemy, and then quickly retreated to find cover.

Soon the infantry fired red smoke bombs at the enemy's position.The local militants had never seen these smokes before. They thought that their opponents could not support them and wanted to escape with the help of the smoke. The blind frontline commanders immediately dispatched the reserve team in an attempt to make a final charge.Only Commander Chalabi of the Indian Special Forces in the distance noticed that the situation was not good. He was the first to realize that this was a precursor to an air attack. He picked up the walkie-talkie to alert the commander in front, but the rumble of the aircraft engine roared in his ears. , is approaching, the voice is low and steady, coming from behind, obviously not the two light fighter jets that flew south just now.

More than ten kilometers away, two JH-2s had pulled up ahead of time. The pilot saw the red smoke ahead at a glance, and the fighter turned slightly and rushed there.The pilot in the back seat manipulated the pod to emit a laser beam, roughly pointing at the most densely populated area near the smoke. After the plane approached, several 7 kg bombs fell from the wings, and they followed the light spot, gliding and flying towards the dense crowd.

Several bombs exploded on the bare hillside, cutting down the hard ground full of excited crowds by several feet in an instant.In the huge air wave, damaged weapon parts flew around, severed limbs and arms were thrown high, and then fell.

The JH-[-] flew over the huge bomb crater on the hillside, and the pilots felt a little uneasy, because they didn't have time to see the specific situation on the ground, and they just judged from the dense and scattered charge formation that they were not their own people.The pilot tried to circle around to confirm the situation on the ground.Suddenly someone on the radio reminded them to beware of anti-aircraft missiles on the ground.Song Ning had escorted these planes more than once, so the bomber pilots were familiar with his voice. The plane immediately raised and rolled, and at the moment when its head was down, it saw a flash of light trailing from below.

The pilot quickly pushed the throttle stick to afterburner and fired tracer rounds at the same time.The power of this aircraft is not good, but it is not difficult to deal with man-portable missiles. One of the main reasons why these small infrared-guided missiles can often succeed is that it is difficult for the target to detect it in advance and take countermeasures .

The bomber didn't try to turn to swerve past the missile, it constantly used tracers to jam the missile's seeker as it climbed, which was more than enough for the poorly cooled older Sam 7s.However, as the altitude increased, the plane was still spotted by the Indian ground radar in the distance, and then the plane released the chaff again and cooperated with a turn, finally getting rid of the radar's tracking.

Two JH-2s carrying terminal-sensitive bombs have also flown to the battlefield at this moment. The task they face is even more difficult, because the terminal-sensitive bombs have a large search range and a strong autonomous attack capability, which is far better than the chaotic battlefield. The laser-guided bombs were difficult to control, which is one of the main reasons why the mission did not use stand-off dispensers.Everything in the end can only be handed over to the pilot for immediate disposal.

According to the mission plan, the pilot took the risk of reducing the speed and circled to observe the battlefield.Judging from the limited information obtained in advance, the enemy's armored forces are all crowded on the road to fight with their own tanks, and not only are their own vehicles difficult to distinguish from their opponents, but their locations are also unknown.

However, it can be clearly seen from the air that a column of tanks on the ground is wearing a greenish camouflage pattern that is obviously different from that of the Chinese-Pakistan coalition forces. It's already been bombed once by a cluster bomb.Judging from the scale of the march, this is a mechanized force at the battalion level, without self-defense firepower and accompanying trucks, which is consistent with intelligence.At this moment, the pilot still didn't dare to neglect, because the ground did not emit red smoke to indicate, he thought it might be caused by poor communication.

For a full minute, the two planes flew over the road smoothly under the watchful eye of the enemy radar in the distance. The weapon guides were watching the vehicles below. They knew that their own T1S tanks should have special white stars and moons on the top of the turret. sign, but not found in the entire convoy.After circling to the second lap, I saw that in the far east, there were several Type 2 tanks exchanging fire in the middle of the convoy. Now that the situation was clear, they checked with the AWACS twice, and the AWACS asked the ground for their determination. .After a long wait, the two planes finally got the order to drop bombs.The commander of the Indian Armored Forces below, Rotabu, watched the enemy planes in the air flying around full of ammunition, obviously doing the final target verification, but he was powerless.It was really bad for him today. During the assembly, the air defense company did not have enough equipment to cross the river and was dropped to the east of the Nar River. His superiors told him that it would not matter if there was no air defense force, because the air superiority was completely in control. As a result, he was killed after entering the road A few light aircraft attacked, and then a few delirious MiG-90s flying from Jodhpur bombed indiscriminately. Now he knew that his troops were about to face a new air attack. Judging from the cautious look, it is definitely not a good person.

The bomber passed the road horizontally, and dropped the dispenser after staying as far away from the 99 tank as possible.During the gliding process, the dispenser continuously threw bullets to both sides, and these ammunition immediately opened small parachutes one by one and floated towards the enemy below.

Yahini also noticed a change in the air. His radio station could not receive the encrypted command information, and he never knew about the upcoming air attack. Moreover, he was unable to guard against the air while hiding in the car. Lin Huaisheng's side was almost gone. Forgot about him, but he still smelled something strange relying on his battlefield intuition.From the observation equipment of the vehicle commander, it can be seen that Indian soldiers in the distance began to leave the vehicle and flee around.He pushed open the top cover with all his strength, and stuck his head out at the risk of being killed by a sniper. A huge plane flew over his head, followed by flashes of light in the clouds with a rumbling sound, just like the situation before the rainstorm.

It wasn't the first time he had seen this deadly ammunition, so he knew exactly what the hell it was.He shouted with all his might for the three tanks to back up quickly.During this period, a row of white loose flowers were scattered in the sky. They were separated by a certain distance and slowly fell downwards, looking soft and harmless.Seeing these things drift towards the Indian convoy, Yahini dared to take it lightly. He knew very well that this kind of thing does not distinguish between enemy and friend, and it will come over by itself when it smells a tank. The area it can cover is really not small.Seeing that the road from the past turned a corner and avoided it, the warheads in the sky began to shake violently. Tanks and armored vehicles on the ground.A few months ago, Yahini witnessed a terminal-sensitive bomb attack launched by F16, which looked much more spectacular, like countless thunderbolts falling from the sky, instantly destroying all the T50 tanks of the 55th Indian Armored Regiment. The frightening lightning like the wrath of a god was due to Ye Mu's relationship.This time, however, the attack seemed much more ordinary. We could only see huge white smoke covering the road, and a few seconds later, flames rose from the smoke.These tricky fragments are specially selected for the engine compartment. This part has almost no armor, and once it is shot, the tank will be half destroyed.
