Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 395 The Quiet East Sion Region
"The action begins."

Lin Qiang sent a signal to his team members and the snow wolf gathering group not far away through the individual radio station.

At the moment, most of the Indian soldiers in the platoon below the mountain are watching the program of Nepal TV in a large room in the bunker, and some recruits are helping to wash the pot in the kitchen.Just seeing the excitement, suddenly the lighting and TV were cut off, and the dank bunker was plunged into darkness. .

"what happened?"

"Is it thundering outside?"

"Could it be that the enemy is attacking?"

"It's impossible that there are no cannons in the north."

Everyone chattered in the darkness.

"Don't panic!" said a calm voice in the dark. "Those two idiots must have touched the generator. I hope they didn't get electrocuted. How many times have I told you not to pile up miscellaneous things around the generator? Do not listen."

"Shall I check the fuse?"

"Go, remember to bring a flashlight." The officer said, "When will you guys be smarter?"

The blue team slowly touched the top of the mountain.The route was exactly the same as the satellite photos studied beforehand.When all the soldiers ambushed at the gate of the bunker.A soldier repairing the circuit stumbled out of the bunker and immediately fell into the shooter's scope.

The soldier clamped the flashlight under his armpit and opened the cover of an external power distribution device. He was about to check it when he was shot down, leaving a large pool of blood on the power distribution box.

Lin Qiang made a gesture.A row of soldiers entered through the entrance. With the help of night vision equipment, they could see the approximate passage in the bunker in the dark, and they could also see the enemies who were poking their heads inside. The silenced weapon shooting just now may have been heard by the inside, but the enemies should still Didn't understand the situation.

This is a bunker with a complex structure, and the blue team does not have a complete topographical map.According to intelligence, there should be an emergency power system inside the bunker to ensure communication and lighting. It was originally expected that the enemy's countermeasure would be faster, but three minutes later, the enemy has not activated the emergency power system.Lin Qiang was determined to launch a full-scale attack immediately while the enemy was still in trouble.

Another Indian soldier came out in the dark. He almost hit the commando, and was knocked down on the edge of the porch by random gunshots. He convulsed a few times and died.

The Indians inside finally noticed something was wrong. Some people heard the slight shooting sound of firearms, and then there was the sound of falling to the ground heavily.

The Indian commander was inevitably terrified, because it has been peaceful here. Since the Chinese helicopter was shot down on the east bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River last month, there has been no firefight.

"Don't panic, maybe it's a small enemy force. Who's going to turn on the backup power?"

"I'll go." Someone volunteered.

"The correspondent goes to the telegraph room and sends a message according to the state of emergency. The rest follow me to get the gun."

The sending room is located at the bottom of the bunker, and it is the safest place in the whole fort.The communications soldier used the battery to start an emergency call, but he couldn't always call and receive Tespur's signal. He had a premonition that the antenna on the top had been destroyed, which greatly reduced his communication distance.The conjecture soon became a fact. Suddenly there was one after another of firefights outside, mainly the shooting of Indian Insass rifles. The opponent didn't seem to fight back, but there was a strange explosion that followed.Soon the choking smoke drifted into the telegraph room, it was tear gas.There was a slight sound of strafing outside, and then the sound of Indian weapons firing and the coughing of soldiers gradually disappeared.

The firefight lasted for 10 minutes, and most of the remnants of the enemy were cleared away, only 2 or 3 escaped, heading towards the Snow Wolf team.Lin Qiang returned to the top of the mountain and sent back to the headquarters the news that Base A had been occupied.This battle fully achieved the original idea, and the enemy took control of the stronghold before he could send out any information.Even if a few enemies were able to escape the snow wolf's sniper attack and fled to the primeval forest, other nearby strongholds were 10 kilometers away. Even if they could reach them, it would definitely be after dawn.

In the hall of the command center in Sichuan, there was a burst of restrained applause.Well done for the first step.It seems to be smoother than expected, there is no need to use noise interference, and the use of electronic interference in this secondary area is likely to arouse the suspicion of the enemy.

According to the original plan, the headquarters issued action instructions to the follow-up powered parachute commandos. These troops were divided into several groups in red, green, blue, yellow and other colors according to the new formation, and they were going to attack the Yarlung Zangbo River controlled by India. The ultimate goal is to quietly occupy all the commanding heights along the river.

In early October, the warm and humid air flow in the Indian Ocean gradually weakened, and the air flow coming down from the northern mountain pass was not too strong, which was suitable for the actions of the paramotor troops.Each team took off one after another according to the order of attacking targets, and flew towards scattered targets scattered within hundreds of square kilometers.

The commandos, carrying their equipment and power equipment on their backs, ran a few steps on an open flat ground one after another, took advantage of the wind to pull up their parachutes, and then began a long southward flight.Satellite navigation equipment can provide the general position and route of commandos, but flying in mountainous areas still requires some vision.Since they chose a night of the last quarter moon, the fighters flying in the air could still vaguely see the faintly whitish Yarlung Zangbo River under their feet and the dark mountains on one side. Chances of being seen by the enemy.In addition, each person carries a small light that shines backwards, so that the team members can refer to their respective distances in an emergency to avoid bumping into each other.

With the help of UAV communication relay and satellite navigation technology, the headquarters can update the specific coordinates of each member more accurately.Once they get too close to their teammates or the cliffs on both sides, they will get voice prompts, which is also the technical guarantee part of this whimsical attack.The preparation for the operation itself took a long time, and various training and technical preparations were solid and sufficient; the main remaining problem was luck, but judging from the various known cases of surprising victory, luck will always be on the side of the attacker.

Lin Qiang's team turned on an indicator light at the top of the Plum post to provide instructions for the teammates who kept rushing to the south.

After 20 minutes, teams of commandos, higher and lower, passed near the top platform of the post.Some people waved to Lin Qiang, while others focused on flying.

The Plum post is the key to open the channel along the river, and there are several post posts after that, on the east or west bank of the roaring river, which need to be resolved one by one.Of course, based on the fact that Snow Wolf has completely mastered the enemy's communication lines, the telephones of these outposts will be cut off one by one before the attack.The electronic jammers in the air are also on standby in case the enemy sends a message by radio.

In order to cooperate with the main attack direction, the feint attack on Tawang in the west is entering a more intense second stage, and the bombardment in the Warong area in the east is about to start. Judging from the layout of the intelligence war, enough scenes have been done. , the enemy will face unprecedented chaos.Lieutenant General Chaguye of Tispur is not that good at analyzing the situation.

Lin Huaisheng's army aviation unit is also on standby at the moment, making final preparations.This force is still only light infantry, without too heavy weapons, and their main task is to occupy and hold Jabwa Airport.According to satellite reconnaissance intelligence, the airport is largely undefended.The Indian army originally stationed at the airport has dropped to 60 people, and another 100 people have been transferred to nearby towns to strengthen control.The intelligence office of the enemy's 4th Army probably noticed that the left-wing guerrillas were contacting rebellions in various cities and towns.In the entire intelligence work led by Xu Jingzhe, the only regret is that he failed to connect with the rebel forces in the Assam region. The political appeals of these organizations are different and the background is complicated. He is very worried that premature contact will expose our side. Part of the campaign attempt.In addition, intelligence also shows that there are about 120 engineering personnel and some heavy equipment in the airport, all of which are prepared for the extension of the runway.

Inside the Eastern Military Region Command in Tespur.

Lieutenant General Chaguye was pacing back and forth in front of the huge map, watching the staff mark the numbers of the Chinese army that had just been read out on the map one by one.After nightfall, the newly-appeared designations of the Chinese army deduced from radio communications increased by four.Other bad news followed, and several strongholds around Tawang were taken.It was discovered that an engineering unit of the Chinese army appeared in Milin, and it seemed that they were going to build a bridge over a certain river. Considering that the rainy season is over, this project should not be too difficult.The Wallong side was attacked by rockets.The frontier also witnessed Chinese scouts appearing by the river, measuring the current of the river, apparently choosing a wading position.

The lieutenant general's line of defense has always relied heavily on the mountains and water systems in this area, but after the rainy season, there is much less land to use, and the timing of the Chinese selection is quite interesting.

East Sion and Dibang Valley in the middle of the only reassuring long and narrow war zone, at least there are still quiet, and no important enemy information has been sent back.

Ever since a Chinese armed helicopter was shot down there, the Intelligence Bureau has been worried that the Chinese will launch an offensive there. Director Chaman has repeatedly exceeded his authority and reminded Chaguye to strengthen the defense in this area, but the lieutenant general knew That is nonsense, because there are stretches of virgin forests, and those who want to launch a large-scale attack there must have no experience in commanding an army.

"Report to the general that the road leading to Warong was attacked twice by the enemy's long-range rockets, and the radar detected that the launch site was 100 kilometers away."

The lieutenant general walked to the map and checked the distant firing position according to the staff's instructions. If the enemy deployed this deadly weapon further forward, they could almost reach the south bank of the Brahmaputra River.

"They punched all this stuff out, and we couldn't counter it."

He hammered the wall helplessly. He only had a 105mm howitzer at the front, and the range was only about one-sixth of that of his opponent. Besides, he didn't dare to fire for fear of being spotted by the positioning radar. The enemy's firing position was so far away, so he was naturally confident.

"Report, just received an urgent call from the New Delhi Intelligence Agency."

The lieutenant general grabbed the telegram, and it was indeed Charmain's call.Almost in a tone of remonstrance, he was asked to be careful of the enemy situation in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, but there was no substantive information attached.

The lieutenant general rubbed the telegram and threw it on the ground, and the people beside him didn't dare to ask what was going on.He was a little annoyed, because at this critical juncture, some people hiding in New Delhi were still relying on imagination to guide him on what to do.

"I ordered that the mobilization be carried out according to the original plan. The Second Mountain Division and the attached Indian-Tibetan special forces advanced to the vicinity of Bundila."

His determination to send more troops to Tawang was, on the one hand, worried that the ground transfer would be attacked by the Chinese Air Force after dawn;

"General, after nightfall, the radar detected suspicious reconnaissance operations by Chinese drones in the East Sion area. There are a lot of sorties. It seems that there will be some actions."

"If there is any action, it will be carried out during the day."

The lieutenant general hesitated again. Although Charmain had a bad impression on him, he still had evidence to speak, especially the captured navigation map did point to this area.

"Perhaps a diversionary attack in East Sion?"

"I have revised the plan. The transfer plan of the Second Mountain Division remains unchanged, but the Indian-Tibetan special forces and the Gurkha unit will be transferred to the Rohit Border Region."
