Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 379 The important weapon of the country also needs to be shown to others.

After receiving the news, Charmain dared not be negligent, and immediately called the Minister of Defense to inform Singer that there was an emergency military situation, but it was not convenient to say on the mobile phone that an interview must be conducted as soon as possible. Hearing this, Singer was completely confused. At the moment, I was inspecting an air defense position 30 kilometers west of New Delhi, so I agreed to meet in an hour, then I gave up the field of view and drove directly to the Ministry of Defense.

Charmain paced back and forth in the office like an ant on a hot pan.His inside information has never let him down, and the information is very detailed, but this matter is of great importance, and it is better to have some comparisons with different channels.He really hoped that Taiwan could also get information as soon as possible for them to check.Now he has two lines in his hands. The Intelligence Bureau’s situation with China is much better than it was half a year ago, but now is not the time to think about this. Can the mouth of the Hooglis River escape the range of this mythical weapon?He also didn't know.

Previously, the intelligence agency only knew the model of this missile, and it also knew that it had been in the experimental stage.The various reports related to it are full of unfounded conjectures used by intelligence analysts to cope with the year-end assessment; for example, this weapon uses radio direction finding for terminal guidance, which is not very accurate, and nuclear warheads are needed to make up for the error in accuracy; Or, this kind of missile can only strike targets in the port, and the search range at the end is only about 25 square kilometers. Once the aircraft carrier moves on the sea at a speed of more than [-] knots, such a search range is far from enough.

Which part is closer to the truth?Charmain didn't know; but experience told him that most of these analyzes were fake.

Meanwhile (9:45 p.m. BJ time), Sichuan, China.

Lin Huaisheng was waiting for the aircraft carrier to maneuver to show that the strategy worked.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the satellite photos updated in real time showed that the aircraft carrier was still on the No. [-] berth, and there was no sign of setting sail.Along the Hughlis River, there are also a large number of internal lines arranged by Xu Jingzhe and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency. The information they send back through the Internet or maritime telephones can make up for the monitoring of the aircraft carrier when the reconnaissance satellite flies over the Bay of Bengal.In short, she was still there, the deck was quiet, and the personnel did not change. The supertankers parked nearby moved occasionally.

Lin Huaisheng has always had a unique feeling for this aircraft carrier. Although he was born in the army, due to the nature of his work, he has been tracking India's weapons and equipment all year round, and this aircraft carrier has always been in his field of vision.

In fact, many years ago, when he was at the Severodvinsk shipyard, he was still on board. At that time, the ship was still called Admiral Gorshkov.He knew the unique cruiser characteristics of this aircraft carrier, but he didn't expect that it would bring some trouble to the radar imaging and identification of the missile end.He also knew that the ship's boiler had a congenital defect, which made it rarely reach a limit speed of more than 28 knots during sea trials.Relatively speaking, he did not understand China's anti-aircraft carrier ballistic missile capabilities, but the technicians just told him that the ideal situation is to attack her when she leaves the river mouth and enters Mengjia Bay, so that there will be no low-speed missiles around her. Large ships are crowded together, and they will not run too fast or too far, and hide in the sea at once. Although a marine reconnaissance satellite has been specially launched to deal with this aircraft carrier, this possibility always exists; so the timing of the attack It must be very accurate; of course, the current advantage is entirely on our side. The aircraft carrier is still in the inland river, and its movements are fully grasped. The straight-line distance from the launch site is about 1400 kilometers, and the time from missile launch to hit , which only takes a few minutes.

"Chief of Staff Lin," someone ran over and interrupted his contemplation, "The US-Japan exercise in the East China Sea is ongoing, and the fleet sequence is very large. The chief asked me to bring you the information."

"understood."

Lin Huaisheng was overwhelmed by the results of the materials, and his superiors deliberately showed him the situation in different theaters, which had never happened before.It can be seen that the possibility of myself replacing Zhou Yaohua and becoming the most core member of the headquarters is increasing.

He took a quick look at the actions of the U.S. Navy, and dispatched two aircraft carrier formations from Yokosuka. They are currently conducting joint maritime replenishment subjects in the southwest ocean of Kagoshima, and then there is also the part of the fleet's air defense.And the other formation that was detected before suddenly disappeared, and it is not known where it will appear for the time being.Generally speaking, the visitors were not kind, and they seemed to cheer up the Indian aggression group.

"Come on, let's see if you run away later?"

Having said that, if it weren't for these potential helpers from India, the superiors might not have the determination to take action against this actually harmless aircraft carrier, but the situation is different now; it's time to show off the country's most important weapon.

At this moment, the high-level meeting in the army has just ended, and now the spy should have a moment of opportunity. I wonder if he will do it immediately?Generally speaking, allowing him to attend high-level meetings as usual can eliminate his vigilance; on the contrary, according to the previous insurance practice of narrowing the scope of communication, it may make him lurk for a long time, which is fatal, because this person The danger is not limited to war against India.Lin Huaisheng, like the teacher, tends to think that this traitor is an important internal agent of Taiwan's intelligence agency in the military for a long time. As for why the Taiwan authorities used such an important pawn to get involved in this war?This is not something he needs to face.

An hour passed quickly, and Charmain was about to leave for the Ministry of Defense, when he was suddenly notified that there was an urgent message from "there"; the contact person had already received the storage card at the designated place on Dalhousie Street.

Realizing the value of this information, Charmain notified the secretary of the Minister of Defense to postpone the meeting until 8 pm (New Delhi time); although doing so would definitely make Singh unhappy, Charmain felt it was necessary to verify , so as not to oolong.

Sure enough, the newly arrived intelligence mentions that China is about to launch a retaliatory action. As of 6 pm (BJ time), there are still three opinions.The first was to launch a violent tactical air strike on air bases around New Delhi.The second is to use ballistic missiles to attack an important deep target in West Bengal, which may be the Garden Ridge Shipyard in Calcutta; aircraft carrier attack.

The military insists that the third plan should be decisively implemented, because it has the function of deterring the U.S. military, and the upper echelon is also inclined to this plan, so the possibility of implementing this plan is the greatest; no matter what the plan is, the weapons for implementing all plans have already been used. deployment in place.

Obviously the previous information was accurate. For the intelligence personnel, the information leaked from different and reliable information sources and can be verified by each other must be accurate. Although it wasted some time, Charmain felt it was very necessary.Now he is very sure that the attack time is about 4 hours. In any case, the navy must be notified immediately and the aircraft carrier must be moved.He tidied his things hastily and drove to the Ministry of Defense.

Singh in the office was a little annoyed. He was supposed to be in the field of view of several air defense units around New Delhi, but the plan was completely messed up, and Charman even changed the time.

When Charmain walked in, Singer wanted to make a bad face and vent his emotions, but Charmain didn't pay attention to Singer's ugly face, so he made the opening remarks first.

"Your Excellency, we are running out of time. They will launch a devastating attack on the Vikramaditya in a few hours."

"What...you say it again?"

"I say, the Vikramaditya, is going to be hit."

"Why should they?" Singer suddenly wanted to laugh. He felt that either his opponent was in a daze or Charmain was in a daze.

"Known, a Ballistic Missile Attack! Retaliation and Propaganda"

"Nuclear strike?"

"No, it's a regular blow from the Dongfeng series."

Singer looked at Charmain for a long time to make sure he was not joking.

"what should we do?"

"There is still time. Immediately move the aircraft carrier out of the river mouth, then enter a state of radio silence, and use the maximum speed to move deep into the Bay of Bengal. There may be their eyeliners on the shore, which is very dangerous."

"Is the information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, I got it through a special channel." Charmain said, he seldom said too much and always left room for it, but this time he seemed to be very sure.

"Okay, I'll call the Commander of the Eastern Fleet right now." Singer picked up the phone from the table in a state of confusion. He didn't know that he would destroy the last ten percent of the aircraft carrier's life with his own hands. .

"I think you should speak directly to the captain of the ship."

Thirty minutes later, Colonel Patuki, the acting captain of the disorganized Vikramaditya, hurried to the command cabin. He was just sleeping when he received a call from a big shot in New Delhi, informing that the aircraft carrier might In case of danger, you must leave the port immediately and head to the original berth, Visakhapatnam.

Usually, an aircraft carrier has to prepare for a long time to set sail, but there is no such time right now.And passing the inland waterway at night is also an experience that the acting captain has never had.And although the officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier are all there, there are no one on duty on the several naval tugboats in the port, and I don't know if they will come or not.

Lin Huaisheng, who was thousands of kilometers away, immediately got the news of a sudden change in INS-VIK.Since the reconnaissance satellite cannot continuously reconnaissance this area, he also relies on local latent scouts to transmit the changes of the target.Intelligence indicated that the carrier was showing signs of immediate activation.The lights on the deck were bright, and the figures were shaking.At this moment, the Dongfeng missile deployed in a certain place in Yunnan has also received the information and is making final preparations for launch.

At 10 p.m. India time, the Vikram Ramadiya finally gathered the tugboats and pilot boats that could be dispatched, and two frigates were already waiting outside the estuary.Colonel Patuki decided not to wait any longer, and immediately weighed anchor and left the port.

Two agents of the Pakistani Intelligence Agency, who had been lurking here for a long time, were on the shore all night long, tracking the movement of the aircraft carrier. After the aircraft carrier started slowly, they decided to follow her movements on the coastal road on motorcycles, and at the same time pass the information through Maritime phone calls to notify the Chinese side.Although this is a task that is easily exposed and close to death, the tracking is extremely smooth.

India's defense in this area far away from the main battlefield is still negligent. The kilometers along the river at night are unimpeded and condescending, and the movement of the aircraft carrier can be clearly seen. There is not even a policeman along the way.At the same time, the reconnaissance satellite 1000 kilometers above the sky also arrived at the observation position and began to monitor the slowly moving aircraft carrier.

Colonel Patuki stood in the command cabin with his arms folded, feeling turbulent; he had already received orders from the Ministry of Defense and his immediate superiors to leave the original berth quickly, but neither side clearly explained the nature of the danger. The scary part.Originally, there were a large number of cover ships around, which could divert the missiles away, but now there is only a single aircraft carrier driving in the narrow river.

He also knows the Chinese's potential anti-aircraft carrier means. If the air force is used, it is too reluctant in terms of range, and it must also pass through Bangladesh's airspace.In the absence of communication support, it is almost impossible for submarines to have any practical effect in the Bay of Bengal. Of course, it is also possible to ambush at the mouth of the river; and there is only the third way to make the minister condescend to call.He timidly thought in his heart, wouldn't he be lucky enough to be a test case in the history of world wars?
