Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 371 Himalayan Railway
The Indian fleet suffered heavy losses. The various interferences launched by several warships at the last moment completely exposed the three unarmed ro-ro ships that were only responsible for loading equipment and personnel.These poor ships and the personnel on them did not belong to the Indian military, but were forcibly conscripted into the navy according to the law of war. As a result, they unfortunately encountered the most intensive anti-ship missile attack in history.

None of the sixteen missiles deviated, and all of them hit their targets. After all, these targets are large and slow, without any defense capabilities.The continuous explosion of the warhead of the missile quickly caused a fire. Fortunately, the huge tonnage of these ships made the sinking process not so fast, and some personnel had time to swarm to the deck.But what awaits them is another disaster. The nearby Talwar-class frigates have completely lost their minds. Set to the automatic state of self-dealing targets, these 30 cannons are under the control of the photoelectric fire control system, shooting at any suspected targets, and there is no way out on the deck full of flames.

An hour later, all three large ships sank into the sea, and at this time the sea was already bright.At this time, the commander of the Indian Navy recovered from his panic and began to organize rescue, but it was too late, and the sea was already full of corpses.The specific death toll will not be counted until a few weeks later, and now the fleet can only bite the bullet and continue to attack.

Chalabi on the shore did not know the tragic situation at sea, and his radio station could only receive a noise, and the plan could only be carried out as agreed.His hundreds of people could only approach Gwadar under the cover of 4 BTR60 tanks.The firepower of these wheeled chariots is nothing more than a 14.5mm machine gun, and the weak armor can only withstand firearms below general-purpose machine guns.However, Chalabi had already learned through the agents who had infiltrated the city that the enemy had already fallen into chaos, so his chance was by no means reckless. He did not launch a sneak attack according to the usual number of ways, but used vehicle-mounted recoilless guns and mortars to attack from the ground. From the rear side of Gwadar Port, attack the port area.The spies in the city destroyed the telephone communication of the defenders an hour ago, and the defenders were completely in a state of panic. When they encountered shelling, they mistakenly thought that the enemy's mechanized troops with heavy firepower had outflanked their rear. Fleeing west, there is the Iranian border. The Iranian government has set up refugee camps on the west side of the border. As long as you take off your military uniform, you can hide among the refugees.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chalabi relied on his weak force to capture Gwadar Port, the last important town in Banan.When his special forces arrived at the first phase of the port, the Pakistani army engineers had already placed a large amount of explosives on important equipment, but they fled without detonating.And there is a large amount of equipment and fuel piled up in the warehouse at the port, and there is no time to blow them up. These were all transferred here when Karachi fell, and now there is no place for these materials to be transferred.Chalabi then easily occupied area B of the port. On the parking lot of his vehicles, he counted 300 Chinese-made military vehicles that were neatly discharged. This is part of the Chinese aid materials not long ago, and the amount can almost offset the destruction at sea by C802 missiles. that part.

A brief but chaotic landing finally came to an end, and with it American electronic jamming.Chalabi reported the victory directly to the Army Staff. Singh, who was sitting in the office of the Ministry of Defense waiting for the news, could hardly believe his ears. The Prime Minister was coming back from the front line soon, and he finally had some Come to show off your achievements.

Kahan finally finished his inspection of the Kashmir frontline and returned to New Delhi ahead of schedule. He only notified a few of his confidants about the change of his itinerary, and Singh was among them with the intelligence chief.The two went to the Safford Joan Military Airport in New Delhi to pick up the plane together. The Prime Minister's special plane arrived on time at 11 o'clock.

After Kahan got off the plane, he couldn't wait, and he immediately approached the two in the simple reception room of the airport.

While in Srinagar, he had been worried about the situation on other fronts, starting with Assam, where Charman's telegrams seemed worried, as if the situation was about to get out of control there; but before that, let him What is even more impatient is the attack on Gwadar Port. Although Singh can only see military gains and losses, Kahan knows that being able to bring the United States in is a major diplomatic victory.Singh once told him that once the last port of Pakistan is captured, the possibility of the Chinese boldly intervening in the war will be reduced. .

Singer originally didn't want to report to the Prime Minister here. First, the battle situation was not as smooth as expected. Second, the anti-eavesdropping inspection here was not careful, and the Prime Minister was surrounded by a large number of doctors. Kahan, who had a tube in his body, was looking at him tiredly and earnestly, and he could only deal with one or two.

"The attack is still going on... and it's going smoothly." He quickly skipped over the details, "The point is, the U.S. Navy took action to deter the Chinese Air Force there as agreed. There are only sporadic firefights in the port area. It is estimated that before noon, we can fully occupy there. Before this evening, at least one brigade will go ashore there."

"In other words, they have lost their last card to blackmail us in the Indian Ocean?" The Prime Minister cheered up.

"Exactly, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Their fighter jets have been completely lost..." Singer puffed up his chest, and a doctor came over untimely to measure the Prime Minister's heart and lungs, completely blocking the smug performance of the Minister of Defense, "Yes, almost Within a few days, they will lose... the channel, and they will no longer have the bargaining chip to deter our route."

Kahan didn't have full expectations for Singh's guarantee, but he still liked to hear these bold words, whenever he heard such words.

The doctor on the side noticed that the prime minister's heart rate and blood pressure changed at the same time. In his thin and withered body, the heart suddenly became like a young man, beating vigorously.

"Oil is their lifeblood, and now it's completely in our hands." Kahan nodded triumphantly. He knew that his persistence had finally paid off, and now the opponent should finally feel scared.

Charman sat aside calmly, waiting for his chance to speak. He knew that India was facing an unprecedented and dangerous situation, and the victory had dazzled the Prime Minister. He didn't really realize that the victory of Gwadar Port It is likely to stimulate China to do it in advance.

"As long as you, Prime Minister, appear in Srinagar, the frontline soldiers will definitely fight with their lives. Now that Kashmir and the Fort have fallen into our hands, it may be too late for the Chinese to attack." Singer seized the opportunity , He raised the teacher severely.

"Strategically, Gwadar is more valuable than Fortress, but these are not important anymore; I really didn't expect that these two places were occupied by us on the same day. It seems to be God's will?"

"It's really extraordinary. Today is the National Day of the Chinese people," Singer said.

"Haha, consider it a gift from me to them. On such a special day, we should indeed give them some setbacks and a longer memory; maybe the next 30 years of India-China competition will take this as a turning point." Kahan couldn't help but feel emotional, and he was so excited that he wanted to cry.

"Prime Minister, please allow me to talk about the situation in Assam," Charmain finally couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected.

"Mr. Director, I was just about to ask about the situation there. I read the telegram you sent last time. There seems to be some problems there?"

"Yes, the problem is big. The National Army's training is slow and there is a shortage of equipment; while the infiltration of the Chinese army has not stopped. At present, the morale there is very low, and the situation is not optimistic."

"Well, maybe I should go to Tespur to inspect and encourage the young people?" Kahan said seriously.The trip to Srinagar gave him a new appreciation for the power of his own morale.

"With all due respect, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."

Singer, who was sitting by the side, couldn't believe it was what Charmain said.He always thought that Charmain was slippery and obsequious, that he was better at gaining money than himself, and would never offend the Prime Minister.The doctor on the side also noticed some subtle abnormalities in the prime minister's heart rate from the electrocardiogram.

"You want to say that the soldiers can't cheer up?" Kahan was somewhat disappointed, but he still wanted to listen to what the intelligence chief said.

"Yes, it's a mess there. Militants on the border are making trouble everywhere. The border guards can't even stop the guerrillas on the Kachin border. The most urgent thing is to immediately mobilize part of the Kashmiri regular army to Assam. Maybe there is still time to save the situation. "

"Does the Ministry of Defense have any plans?"

"Yes, after the Kashmir defense line is consolidated, several mountain divisions will be mobilized back by railway."

On the north side of the Everest, three gray fighter planes are appearing and disappearing in the sea of ​​clouds. They fly from west to east, close to the border of China.

Zheng Hui flew his heavy fighter along a zigzag route under the cover of two escort planes.This section of the route is very hidden, and India's ground radar cannot monitor it across Nepal.Since the outbreak of the war, there have been violent conflicts on all the borders where China and India confront each other, but only in this section-a small section of the control line between Nepal and Bhutan, there has been no movement.And in the south of Darjeeling, it is a critical area for the entire Assam - the Sigurd Corridor.Perhaps this area is too important, but the Chinese Air Force has never crossed the border of this area for reconnaissance. The "Tiger Shark" squadron at the Mara base currently owns part of the Rafale and MiG-2 fighter jets, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

"Yellow He, I have seen Qiongsang Peak. I am asking for instructions on the next step."

"Move twice. This is the Yellow River. We haven't found any abnormal changes in the enemy's radar or airport. Act as originally planned."

"clear."

Zheng Hui drove the J-16 fighter jet, lowered the altitude first, turned around the east side of the 7150-meter Jongsang Peak, and approached the border of India. He had to cheer up and carefully avoid the radar deployed by the Indian army on the commanding heights.

China and India have no territorial disputes on this narrow, less than [-]-kilometer-wide border, but the air force has never crossed the border to attack the Sigurd Corridor.The only worry is that I am afraid of arousing the vigilance of Indians.Of course, anyone can see the strategic location of the Sigurd Corridor from the map. Even pretending to ignore it is not enough to offset India's vigilance.

"Do you know that this is where the British invaded the government of XZ before?"

Zheng Hui said in the formation call channel.

"I really know how to choose a place." The wingman pilot said, looking at the surrounding snow-capped peaks, "I heard that the black tea in this area is not bad."

"Well, there's that world-famous railway, but we're going to destroy it today."
