Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 431 Sticking to Tactics
"Well, if the Indian government really wants to act in such a perverse way, it will solve our politically unsolvable problems." Xu Jingzhe changed the subject, and suddenly said something that others didn't quite understand.So much so that several officers surrounding him stopped.

Generally, the soldiers who participated in this war did not know that the most worrying thing about this war was not the war itself but how it would end.Specifically, this is the question of the ultimate orientation of the states east of the Sigurd Corridor.Obviously, it is impossible for the Chinese army to remain there as an occupying force all the time. If those areas remain in the Indian Federation after the war, it is definitely not a once-and-for-all solution; things may happen as happened in 1962. Well traumatized, and eventually come back, it must be said that Nakamura's ambition to recover from setbacks is one of the strengths of the Indian people.

Xu Jingzhe has never participated in the strategic discussions of his superiors, but he can easily guess the top level's wishes from the height of the intelligence chief, which should be to completely eliminate the contact between China and India in the eastern section.If it evolves according to this script, the best ending will naturally be to form a series of pro-China buffer zone countries in the Brahmaputra River Basin.So that after a few years, even if India regains its vitality, it will no longer have a bridgehead for counterattack.From a geopolitical point of view, avoiding the endless entanglement with India on the border stretching thousands of miles is naturally an option once and for all; of course, in the western sector, such confrontation will inevitably continue unless Kashmir also moves towards independence .

"By the way, do you have any new news?"

"Inside news from New Delhi, Prime Minister Kahan has woken up; he has just completed a comprehensive examination, and his health is not optimistic."

"anything else?"

"The wartime cabinet requires the Ministry of National Defense to immediately remove General Chaguye as commander of the Eastern Military Region. He will be dismissed as soon as this morning."

"Who will take over?"

"It's not clear. It is said that the wartime cabinet proposed Paciade to take over, and he will be promoted to general at the same time, but Paciade has rejected this appointment. It seems that the former chief of staff of the army does not want to take over this time. Hot potato."

"It seems that the plan to bomb the underground command of Tespur must be suspended until it is clear who the next commander is. Well, I will report the situation to the commander immediately."

Jabwa Airport finally ushered in a dazzling dawn, a golden sun jumped out of the horizon from the end of the wet runway.

Lin Huaisheng squinted his eyes and watched a roaring transport plane land on the runway with the sun on its back. This plane brought the mobile radar he longed for. His defense system was becoming more and more complete, but the enemy was helpless.

The chief of staff now has two airports, and most of the relatively small transport planes will take off and land at Dibruch Airport, 10 kilometers northeast, which greatly relieves the pressure on the air dispatching of the headquarters.And one of his assault troops is also gathering there, preparing to launch an attack on the Yanlong Railway. The mid-term target of this offensive will be Tespur. Of course, this railway runs across India from east to west. If you keep going along it, you can reach New Delhi Chandigarh in the northwest.

The heavy rain made all the nearby rivers swell, which was an extra score for Chaguye. On the one hand, the engineers had to build bridges on wider rivers, and on the other hand, the road ahead was turned into mud.If there is any benefit to this heavy rain, the domestic command told Lin Huaisheng that the bridges assumed by the Indian 5th Mountain Division a day ago were all washed away by the heavy rain.

"There is still the possibility of continued precipitation in the next few days." Lao Ding said with a report.

"Will it be, or won't it be?" asked the chief of staff impatiently.

"There is a great possibility that the original text is written like this."

Lin Huaisheng shook his head, noncommittal.

"The superior's intention is to send some of our troops to the north to cross the Brahmaputra River and intercept the enemy's retreat in Warong. This will destroy the effective administrative control of the Indian central government over the eastern part of Assam. , has great political significance." Lao Ding continued.This is also the action plan that Lin Huaisheng drew up before departure: first occupy Jabwa and then form a confrontation with Tespur; but the situation changes too fast. After Chaguye lost the 4th brigade, Chief of Staff Lin wanted more naturally. up.

"Dividing the troops is not feasible. Chaguye must be kowtowing and burning incense now, hoping that we will hesitate."

"You should also go to the area where the sappers built the bridge and see how muddy the roads are."

"Hey, for the time being, we can only let Lu Hang occupy some key areas." The chief of staff said helplessly, he knew where there was an empty city, but there was 200 kilometers of mud in between.

At this moment, the Army Aviation Reconnaissance Force has begun to assault eastward.Their actions are somewhat out of touch with the ground troops blocked by the surging river, but the great fighters cannot be missed. According to the will of the command, these troops will quickly occupy the gap left by the enemy's retreat and push the front as far as possible.

Six light helicopters quickly flew over the road leading to Tespur, and it could be seen that the road was full of water. The fleeing crowd heard the sound of the plane and immediately fled to the woods on both sides.There is a railway parallel to the road a few hundred meters away, which also appears and disappears in the water.

The soldiers sitting on the sled used binoculars to see closed-down livestock and dead people piled up on the side of the road, as well as some vehicles discarded by the Indian army. Obviously, the news that the 4th brigade was finished came, and the frontal enemy collapsed before they even came out. up.Except for the S300 radar in the distance that has been staring at the helicopter formation, other enemy air defense firepower did not appear. It is 50 kilometers away from Jabuwa, which is about the edge of the envelope of the enemy's long-range air defense firepower.

"The wolf den has arrived at the designated location, and no organized enemies have been found. Only a thousand-strong refugee team passed by from the south."

While the Air Road pilot was talking, several fighter planes flew over it, and one of them even shook its wings.However, the pilot has no time to pay attention to the air force. His attention must be concentrated on the ground. This piece of sky after the rain is an excellent stage for the performance of infrared guided weapons.

"According to the original plan, occupy the Damara High Railway Station and wait for further instructions."

"clear."

The helicopter did not find a place to land, so it slowly landed in an area very close to the ground, and threw about a platoon of infantry into the mud. The helicopter took off slowly and left.

This isolated small force immediately took control of the commanding heights of Damara High Railway Station, which is the closest area of ​​Lin Huaisheng to Chaguye, 190 kilometers away from Tezpur-and connected to the Dinsugiya railway.Chief of Staff Lin tried to deploy a small group of troops to areas where the situation is unknown, and control some key nodes first; he has a whimsical plan, he wants to control and use this railway.

In the Yingqiong Mountains to the west of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Wang Tiechuan's troops used several major commanding heights to completely block the enemy's air transportation routes at night.The air passage between Lausanne and the outside world was blocked throughout the night, but after dawn, transport resumed somewhat.

Lausanne quickly calmed down from the initial bewilderment, and after hastily judged the situation, he launched a frenzied counterattack.He first took advantage of the number and firepower to quickly outflank the highlands controlled by Wang Tiechuan from all directions in an attempt to recapture these areas and create a way for the troops to survive; This is not the main force, it should be a small group of people to monitor themselves and indicate targets for the air force. Unfortunately, the heavy rain at night prevented the opponent's air force from dispatching, and their calculations were emptied.After roughly figuring out the situation, he revised his counterattack plan and prepared to take advantage of the situation to eat up all the infiltrated Chinese troops.

Under the control of the subtropical high, it was rainy and sunny without a trace of cloud.About one company of enemy troops was approaching the Chinese scouts on the mountain in a loose formation from all sides, and the sound of gunfire rang through the continuous valley.

At this time, the Snow Wolf troops were divided into several commanding heights that could support each other with firepower. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, they were holding on to the superiority in terrain.

A drone hovered over the valley, ready to wait for the guidance from the ground to kill the enemy.Soon the plane caught the laser light signal emitted by the snow wolf on the mountain, and the light spots were concentrated on a rock that was not a skirmish line.

Immediately, the drone dropped a 100kg bomb, which fell and flew accurately to the suspected enemy's company-level headquarters.From the mountain, Snow Wolf observed the concealed net behind the bunker and the antenna-level communication soldiers who set off from here to and fro.Although it can't be confirmed that it is the headquarters, it seems that the drone's precise strike on the scattered enemy infantry does not seem to make much sense. We can only attack here to try our luck.

The bomb exploded violently behind the rock, but the frontal enemy did not show any pause or confusion.

The drone is still hovering, carrying the last bomb.Operators who are thousands of miles away should try their best to control the altitude for safety, at least outside the best attack range of the Sam 7 missile, and at the same time pay attention to abnormal continuous radio tracking.

Wang Tiechuan, who had been observing in the field of view of the 8X optical sight of the anti-material gun, suddenly saw a ball of flames in the distance, and he immediately raised his head.

A missile much larger than the SAM 7 pierced the sky, leaving a hydraulic trail that looked very different from the feeble shoulder-fired missile.

A thunderbolt flashed in the air like daytime, and the drone broke in two and fell down.

"Snow Wolf reports that the drone is lost. The enemy has hidden effective air defense systems other than individual missiles. Tell the pilot to be careful."

At the same time as he reported, he saw an enemy in the scope looking out from the bushes, roughly aimed at the chest position and pulled the trigger. With a huge recoil, a 12.7mm bullet shot into the bushes, and the enemy was like a piece of wood. Like a broken log, it fell backwards.

"Come and clean up one by one."

He dragged his heavy anti-materiel weapon out of the position, and the dense machine guns below began to shoot at the nearby bushes. Obviously, the enemy didn't find the position where he was hiding just now, but he didn't dare to take the risk of staying here.

"Captain, this is the second group. The enemy below has entered the red pine forest on the mountainside, less than 100 meters away from us."

"Abandon the original position, and each group retreats to the mountain alternately." He said, and switched to the channel with the liaison officer in the command plane, "The enemy is advancing too fast, and the air force's planned bombing area must be revised 100 meters south."

He directed while retreating.

The shouts of the enemy in the pine forest at the foot of the mountain can already be heard, and it seems that there are still some shouting in Chinese to disarm and not kill, which is simply ridiculous.

"Damn it, just wait to be bombed."

An ear-piercing sonic boom came, and in a blink of an eye, a row of fire walls reduced the huge pine forest at the foot of the mountain to powder. He lay down on the ground and took a closer look, and all the bombs fell behind.

"Damn, 200 meters to the north."

He knew very well that pilots sometimes subconsciously delayed bombing for fear of hurting their own people, but as a result, the bomb was almost thrown in vain.

"Tell that bastard to bomb the area 150 meters below the top of the mountain, where the enemy is concentrated."

The sound of machine guns suddenly rang out.

"Captain, I found a wave of enemies moving on the flank, about 300 meters away from the top of the mountain."

"Damn it, when did it move so close?" He couldn't believe that the enemy could hide so well, and was able to be crawled so close by the sparse rhododendron on the mountain.

The JH-7 that had just dropped the cluster bombs began to circle around the hills, looking for a second chance to correct the bombing.However, the air defense system behind the enemy worked again, and 2 missiles shot into the sky.The JH-7 must have seen the enemy missile take off, dropped the other half of the bomb again in advance, and then released the jamming bomb and turned to avoid it.Before the enemy's missiles failed to catch the heat source, the plane hid behind the mountain close to the mountain. Of course, the bomb fell even more outrageously.

"These two guys are smart enough to escape. They should be awarded a medal," Wang Tiechuan sneered.

3.5 kilometers away from the fierce battle area, Lausanne stood upright in the hidden department and watched the attack with binoculars, while a group of people next to him ran behind the mirror to observe. For this life-and-death battle, he invested the most elite three companies.

"Tell the 4th company to get closer, so that the enemy will be passive," he turned his head slightly, and said to the signal soldier, "Call Commander Basang, the enemy has already begun to panic, find a way to detour behind and cut off their retreat."

"What's the matter with the front, you will definitely fall into the enemy's fire net if you are slow, and the next wave of air strikes will arrive soon."

"Sir, there don't seem to be many enemies on 3221 and 3228?"

"The number of people is not large, but the casualties caused by us in the morning are not small. It should be... old opponents. Their air-ground coordination ability is very strong. Unfortunately, I used a fake command post to try out their strength. Stick firmly, Don't leave gaps in their air force."
