Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 365 Major General's Wish

Another shooter on the side was about to launch the second missile, and saw the target in the distance rising in the dust, but the missile seeker after cooling was unable to complete the tracking, obviously the target had already run out of the critical range.The optimal distance for the focal plane seeker of this missile to search for an infrared heat source is about 1 kilometer, but the actual range of the Viper missile exceeds 5 kilometers, which means that it has the ability to aim after launch, which sounds superior to the Javelin Raise your hand on the empty and cold Kashmir Army shooting range, the Viper launched in this mode has performed well, but the manual only allows this mode to be used at night.No matter how high, Sagittarius is just taking chances now.He launched the missile decisively, and then tracked it with the cross mark in the scope. The missile will fly to the target according to the command control. It is not known whether it can catch the heat source of the engine.

Just after the first missile missed the target, Lin Huaisheng's convoy became alert, and he immediately ordered all the tanks to defend; several vehicles fired smoke in the air at the same time to block the shooter's sight, and the destruction refers to the shooter's guidance. , It can also effectively destroy the terminal guidance of the infrared imaging seeker, and in the end this missile did not hit any target.Now the Indian special forces, which are far behind, can only be in a hurry. They pursue lightly and do not occasionally carry too many missiles.

The sniper unit hidden on the top of the mountain has been observing and continuously transmitting follow-up enemy information to Lin Huaisheng's command vehicle.The team saw that the enemy had not given up and was preparing to pursue, and the enemy mainly used some lightly armored vehicles and Land Rover jeeps, but each of them carried anti-tank missiles.Now the convoy has stopped in the valley and will catch up soon.As for the combat effectiveness of the enemy, there is no way to evaluate it.

Lin Huaisheng only made simple defensive preparations for the pursuers. The minefield he laid was only about 20x50 meters in size, which was like a child's play.In fact, after about 300 landmines were disarmed, they were placed on the road in such a mess, neither forming a sufficient density nor burying them.Lin's own intention was to let the enemy see it and come down to make trouble. He estimated that as long as he could stop the enemy convoy for 10 to [-] minutes, it would be enough for him to go far.

The first Land Rover that went deep into the minefield was not careful enough. The driver didn't notice the plastic shell of the mine that was similar in color to the ground and just ran over it. Generally speaking, anti-tank mines are designed for tanks and armored vehicles or at least trucks, but they are fully loaded. The Land Rover of members and weapons, also far exceeds the weight of the depressive fuze.After the mine exploded, the entire chassis was paralyzed, and several Indian special forces were thrown out of the car and fell heavily.The vehicles that came later huddled together outside the minefield, and several vehicles collided together.When the Indian soldiers got out of the vehicle, they saw that the front vehicle was billowing with smoke, and all four wheels had disappeared. The commandos fell to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and ears, and all of them seemed to be seriously injured.The ground was densely covered with green landmines, and no one dared to take a half step forward for a while.

An officer jumped onto the front deck of the armored vehicle. He checked the turret carefully and confirmed that there was only one type of anti-tank mine on the surface of the minefield, and there were no infantry anti-personnel mines.As for whether there are underground mines, he doesn't know, but he knows that China has signed the anti-infantry anti-personnel mine treaty.

"Don't be dazed, go and move the mines to the side of the road. Clear the passage." The officer shouted.

Seeing that no one responded, the officer jumped out of the chariot and walked quickly into the minefield.He picked up a landmine under his feet and threw it to his adjutant, who caught it firmly without exploding.

"As you can see, it's just an anti-tank mine, and it takes half a ton of pressure to detonate," he yelled. "Move, clear the way."

This act of taking the lead immediately boosted morale.The officer demonstrated confidence to the hesitant soldier: a confidence that he knew what he was doing.Even the Chinese scouts on the mountain were shocked by this behavior, and they immediately reported to Lin that the minefields would soon be useless, and the Indian troops chasing them were not ordinary people and should not be underestimated.

Indian soldiers do not have any mine detection equipment, but anti-tank mines are just thrown on the ground at will, and it does not seem terrible to bow their heads and pick them up.They entered the minefield one after another and moved the mines to the sides of the road.It only took about 5 minutes to clear a road sufficient for the convoy to travel.However, these 5 minutes are still crucial for Lin Huaisheng. He successfully transferred to the road and met with 3 tanks.For the time being, they can't go yet, they have to wait for the snipers to climb down the ridge; this ridge was once Li Ping's ambush, so Lin knew that 10 minutes would be enough.

The fire on the road is still not extinguished, and Indian military vehicles are parked and burned in disorder, stretching for several kilometers.Lin Huaisheng saw this scene through an external camera, and was quite shocked.On the radio, Yahini told him that the threat on the road could be eliminated, and after the bombing, he did not find the existence of the enemy's heavy firepower.

As an army officer, when Lin Huaisheng saw the scene where the air force dominated the battlefield, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit sad, but Sammy behind him didn't think so. He said that he has never dropped such a powerful bomb, and he is eager to have a chance to fly a bomber. From the perspective of horizontal bombing technology, he has absolutely no problem.

"Okay, we must immediately return to the route to the sea; we can't stay on the ground during the day, if the enemy's air force comes, we will end up in the same way." Lin Huaisheng interrupted the endless chatter Colonel.

"The road is clear, and I could see it clearly when I flew here," said the colonel.

Since the first meeting, Lin Huaisheng felt that the colonel was different from those ordinary people who struggled to survive in the war. He seldom talked about the fate of the motherland or his own life and death. What he always talked about was how to fight the war.

"Chief of Staff, Quetta Telegram."

"Read!"

"Quickly leave the battle and join our troops in the south," read the staff officer. "In addition, the situation in the south of Banan is complicated, so be careful when dealing with tribal forces."

"Chief of Staff, the sniper team has come down."

Lin Huaisheng hurriedly lowered his head to the monitor, and saw someone moving behind the rock. In a blink of an eye, several snipers had arrived, and the infantry fighting vehicle could no longer sit down. They could only climb onto Yahini's tank.

"Let the tanks lead the way, and we'll follow behind."

The convoy started to move again. Their fuel was not enough to drive to Gwadar, and the situation of Gwadar Port itself was also uncertain. It was still unclear where to go, so he asked the colonel again about the enemy situation near him.The colonel told him that there are a large number of rebels, and they are looking for fuel and weapon bases hidden deep in the mountains of the Banan Military Region. Therefore, the air force's navigation information has already indicated the location of several secret supply stations in the mountains. Once there is a possibility of being occupied by the rebels , it must be destroyed so as not to be used by Indian troops.Lin couldn't help being surprised by this information, because he had never known such important information, not even Lieutenant Colonel Giam of the Internal Affairs Force. He immediately asked the colonel to mark the location of the oil depot near the road on the map, and he had to check it out. The rabbi's men rushed to one of the logistics warehouses first to replenish fuel.

In the intelligence center of the military region thousands of kilometers away, Xu Jingzhe has been waiting for news of Lin Huaisheng.The recent situation has made the offensive in southern Tibet even more urgent. There is no suspense about the Indian army's military action in Fort Fort. Perhaps tomorrow morning, this city will fall.However, the Indian intelligence agency's instigation activities in Balochistan actually won a complete victory, which was completely beyond Xu's expectations.Today, the situation in the south is changing day by day. A lot of local separatist armed forces have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. The local rule of the Pakistani government is rapidly disintegrating. Send troops.Xu Jingzhe suspected that the power of the CIA was in the way of this series of changes. Perhaps the Americans were redrawing the sphere of influence for South Asia after the war. However, it is not important if there is no evidence for this matter. Calling to ask Lin Huaisheng's whereabouts, it can be seen that when the military region sent this guy to Quetta to fight the fire, there were some mistakes.

At this moment, Gwadar Port is falling into the second "uprising", and the Indian Marine Corps is eyeing the sea. Once Gwadar falls, the loss of the Shamsi base is only a matter of time.That is, in the last ten days of September, China has urgently launched 9 reconnaissance satellites and 2 extremely high frequency communication satellite to make up for the intelligence collection and communication problems that have been exposed during the war. Such urgent actions are of course very necessary , but the determination of the Chinese government based on expanding the war is already obvious. If the enemy's intelligence department is not blind, it will inevitably make a corresponding judgment.Prior to this, one of Xu Jingzhe's main tasks was to convince the Indian government that China's war preparations were actually just a bluff, and by the end of September this was already an impossible task.

Xu Jingzhe's top priority right now is to use his professional ability to sort out the most important parts from the astonishing amount of information and provide them to his superiors. He was a little concerned about the distant war, and a thick pile of information was piled up on the table. Stacks of satellite photos were all gathered by the staff under his leadership as "valuable" after preliminary research; he picked up a clear satellite photo, which was obviously a port taken from the air.

Someone has marked a line of words in red pen on the photo - INS-VIKR.In the intelligence center, this is the abbreviation for the aircraft carrier Gorshkov. It is impossible to track this aircraft carrier at sea by satellite, unless he returns to the base of Veshakpatnam, but when will this aircraft carrier come back? Hong Kong?The major general put on his glasses and looked carefully for a while.

"When was this filmed?"

"It was taken this morning, from the sky above the Bay of Bengal, at a distance of about 400 kilometers."

Xu Jingzhe identified the coastline and found that it was not the main anchorage of the aircraft carrier, the Visakhapatnam Naval Base, because there was no conspicuous Navy Club building next to the pier, and it seemed that the port was much larger, and there were several ships on the side of the aircraft carrier. Surrounded by large ships.

"Calcutta?"

"Yes." The officer replied.

"Aren't all the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier deployed at the ground airport? Why did he appear in Calcutta?"

"Maybe it is acting as a temporary headquarters. From a technical analysis, it is possible that the MiG-29 squadron cannot cooperate with the ground air force headquarters, and if the VIKR is parked in Calcutta, then the complete communication equipment on the aircraft carrier is capable of allowing these aircraft to enter Asa Part of the navigation and command of Mu. But this is only a preliminary judgment, and we have to wait for our internal verification."

"Well, there is some truth. Anyway, wherever she docks, we can't do anything about her." As he spoke, Xu Jingzhe still reluctantly walked to the huge map and took a look. Even if he did not consider politics, he sent combat planes across Bangladesh. An attack by China is also very unrealistic.

"Is it possible for the JH-7?"

"The voyage is very limited, and judging from the Pakistan Air Force's surprise attack on Cochin, the strategy of the aircraft carrier hiding around large commercial ships is very effective."

"That's right, we're not politically allowed to do that either."

The major general rubbed his eyes tiredly. This aircraft carrier has been hiding in the Bay of Bengal, and now its carrier-based aircraft are also scattered to the ground airport. It does not have much impact on the short-range of the war, but if it can be attacked, it can at least hit India. The upper decision-makers, maybe Kahan will die of cerebral hemorrhage, and in that case, things will be simple.

He felt a little ridiculous that he would have such an unreasonable desire. He often warned his subordinates that war is the most serious thing, and expecting the opponent to disintegrate on its own is the mentality of the weak.

"Uh, how's Kahan's health?"

Unable to hold back, he still asked this question. Deep in his heart, he still hoped that the tenacious old lunatic could ascend to heaven in time, so that at least the possibility of the war escalating into a nuclear war would be reduced by a few points.Although China initially has the ability to early warning and intercept ballistic missiles, but for short-range missiles flying in the atmosphere, early warning still has shortcomings.It is known that India has deployed hundreds of land missiles throughout Assam. If the Agni missiles in the deep zone are included, the threat will be increased several times.
