Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 435
Lin Huaisheng decisively supported He Fan's request. So far, He Fan's bold actions have been right in the end, and now he also needs a guy who can fight to tear apart the enemy's defender.Given that the entire Indian army east of Tespur was collapsing without a fight, he was desperate for someone to add to the confusion and give the enemy no time to stop and think.Once the enemy wakes up, they should destroy facilities such as bridges and roads in some key areas.This will have a more or less detrimental effect on the second phase of operations.In addition, judging from the specific situation, the enemy's air defense system is still functioning, and the importance of ground reconnaissance has also been highlighted. Although He Fan's tank unit can only carry at most one reinforced platoon, this digital The power of an army cannot be determined just by looking at the number of people.This troop can carry satellite communications and laser guidance equipment. Under the leadership of an old fox, you can expect a good performance.

Each of He Fan's tanks carried 5 infantrymen. The infantrymen fixed themselves behind the tank turrets, and then this strange tank company began to advance along the waterlogged road.Of course, he dared not go directly on the road to avoid hitting a mine, and galloping through flooded potholes has always been his wildest favorite subject (disgusted by all tank drivers), although it must be upside down. Bad infantry outside, but that's out of his control.Baked by the scorching sun in the afternoon, he advanced 40 kilometers extremely smoothly. Along the way, he only saw trucks discarded by the Indian army on the road, lined up in a long snake formation crookedly, without encountering any any resistance.He stopped several times and sent someone to check, and found that these vehicles were abandoned due to lack of fuel, and some 105mm howitzers that could not be taken away were destroyed. It can be seen that although the enemy is in a panic, they are still retreating rather than fleeing.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, his convoy quickly passed north of Sib Sagar where the power was cut off. He could not see the situation in the city clearly and encountered no obstruction. He sent a report to the headquarters saying that it was most likely an empty city.The headquarters strictly ordered him to pass from the side immediately without delay.Such an order was obviously superfluous, he didn't want to waste time in the city at all, He Fan galloped all the way in the depths of the enemy, almost as if he had entered the land of no one.Except for the occasional sight of Indian refugees gathering on the high ground to avoid the flood, no armed personnel were found.This kind of pursuit has made him addicted, as if the entire Indian Army is evading his pursuit.With an extremely high desire to fight, he decisively revised the plan, canceled the rest, and led the infantry covered in mud and water, and continued along the road, all the way to the important town of Jorhad.It used to be the station of the 51st Helicopter Squadron of India, but now this squadron is assigned to the Indian-Tibetan Special Forces, and it should be somewhere far in the north.At the same time, it is indicated on the map that there are still several launching positions of the Indian Blue Sky Missile Force in this area. Once discovered, they should be resolved first.

Lin Huaisheng's entire staff department was eagerly waiting for the message from this ramshackle striker. This unit shouldered the heavy responsibility of fire reconnaissance and map updating, and at the same time chased about 50 times the enemy.Every kilometer they advance without encountering resistance means that the main force set out by Jabwa can push a step into the enemy's hinterland at no cost, although the Brahmaputra River actually cuts the hinterland of Assam into Two parts, and Tespur is actually on the north side of the big river, but the land transportation in Tespur needs to be maintained by the road bridge and pontoon bridge south of the city.If a force can occupy the Kalia-Brahmap Bridge south of Tespur, it can easily cut off the supply line and retreat of Tespur, or the entire Indian Assam group.The enemy's reinforcements are still in Bihar waiting for the railway to open to traffic. The distance to Tespur is farther than that of Lin Huaisheng. The speed will be the decisive factor in determining how much India will eventually lose in this battle.

"Chief of Staff, they advanced to Morinha, incredible speed, and still unopposed. They counted that the enemy abandoned at least about [-] trucks and empty tankers along the way, and also saw a large number of military supplies. It was robbed by soldiers and civilians along the way, obviously the enemy's armed forces have been away for a while."

"Tell them to press on, preferably with a view of the enemy rear guard, to determine their position."

Lin Huaisheng pretended to say calmly, but he was actually very proud of himself.Before that, his staff department was still correcting the positions of the two sides' battle lines according to He Fan's position, but now the work on the map has stopped, and the speed of the enemy's escape from the map is much faster than expected.He judged that the villagers always slowly tested the situation before they dared to come out in groups to loot the army's supplies, which meant that the enemy had been gone for a while.

"Chief of Staff, they spotted an enemy Mi-17 helicopter flying over the village of Sinamora, heading northwest."

"Well, advance directly to the vicinity of Jorhad."

"Report, the wheeled chariot unit has already crossed the river, and it is currently 6 hours behind He Fan's unit."

A staff officer reported that if He Fan stopped, six salesmen would be able to gather into a battalion, but this was probably not what He Fan wanted, he preferred to be ahead and show off alone.

He Fan finally stopped at an area 7 kilometers south of Jorhad. This is the area he must pass through along the road and railway line. He originally planned to follow the standard tank warfare method and directly bypass the city, but When his convoy merged with the road, it saw track tracks on the muddy road.The nearby Tata military vehicles were all pushed down by the side of the road. Obviously, not long ago, there was a rough armored force passing by.

He jumped out of the chariot and checked the traces on the ground. The ghostly infantry got out of the chariot one after another to exercise their muscles and bones. They were no less exhausted than the tank crews in it, and they were much more fatigued. However, no one complained, because no one complained. We all know that by the time we reach Tespur, the war will probably be over.

Judging from the width of the remaining track marks on the ground, a team of T55 tanks had just passed by, and it took no more than a few hours at most, because the scorching sun in the afternoon did not completely dry the track marks into dry mud.There are also a large number of messy military footprints next to them, which seem to be pushing the truck out of the way.

He Fan has done enough homework. He knows all the types of tracked or wheeled combat vehicles that may appear in India in this area, so he quickly came to several conclusions. One of them may be a platoon of T55 tanks, but it is common sense Generally speaking, tanks will not drive on such a narrow road (two-lane) when marching, and compete with motorized infantry. From the perspective of the entire retreat, although the enemy has abandoned many trucks that lack fuel, the enemy should be very clear that the pursuers are still far away , so it is not so embarrassing to run.

Another possibility is the blue sky anti-aircraft missile. The launch vehicle of this system uses a tank chassis, but what is interesting is that the command and power supply vehicles use wheels or even trailers. That is to say, the mobility of this unit is inseparable. highway.He personally tends to the second judgment. If the enemy really still has a tank force, then there is no reason why the 4th Armored Brigade should not attack from both sides when attacking.

"07, go and check where this team of enemies went afterward. The rest of the vehicle crew and the infantry rest on the spot for 25 minutes."

Tank 07 has just been towed back from Tinsukia, oil radiator and fan repaired, only a tiny hole left in the skirt.Now the 07 crew has become the most cunning and reliable unit in He Fan's heart, and they are sent to any reconnaissance missions.

The light tank emitted black smoke and disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.It traveled north alone along the trace for 1.5 kilometers, stopped behind a small hill, and then several infantrymen climbed to the commanding heights to overlook the front, and they saw a rotating radar antenna and a huge gantry bracket in the forest ahead, camouflaged The missiles raised their heads to the sky, and the nearby Indian soldiers were busy and busy, showing signs of enthusiasm.Finally saw the enemy, apparently they have not found the pursuers approaching.The scout observed with binoculars for a while, and judged that there was about a company-level missile unit, another company-level repair unit, and a smaller transportation unit. Obviously, the enemy was delayed by a broken down vehicle. .

He Fan and Lin Huaisheng got this information at about the same time, and they both began to think about a question at the same time. Is such a high-value target worth He Fan's exposure and a war?If fighting, the enemy headquarters will immediately make an accurate judgment on the breakthrough distance of our army in the south, although it is very likely that they already know the approximate location of the Chinese army's advance, because there is no guarantee that there will be no eyeliner along the way, after all, it is in the enemy's territory.

In the end, He Fan persuaded the headquarters to let him fight.In the wilderness, there are not many opportunities to catch a lone anti-air unit.Moreover, Tespur's air defense system is composed of a large number of medium-range air defense systems in the surrounding area and the S300 at the core. Every time a medium-range and short-range missile force is eliminated, more air defense pressure will be put on the shoulders of the S300 system. It will greatly reduce the time it is in a maneuvering state, and naturally increase its chances of being annihilated. This account will be settled by anyone.

The tank group and infantry ordered by He Fan quietly merged with the No. 07 tank, laying in ambush behind the undulating terrain, waiting for the sky to finally darken.At the same time, he also had to wait for the air force's long-distance strike. The strike accuracy of satellite-guided missiles could not hit his headquarters or communication troops directly, but it was enough to confuse the enemy for a while.

Seeing that the enemy had installed the engine and covered the grille baffle, it was obvious that the repair work was coming to an end, and there was still no sign of starting. He Fan became a little anxious. Now he dared not rush over rashly, because he would be easily accidentally injured by his own firepower.

He didn't know that the two J-2BS fighter planes in the air were quickly turning around and rushing towards them. The command plane corrected the original target and at the same time carried out target update operations in the air through the data link. In the entire war, such a situation had never been encountered before. It is very difficult to temporarily modify the target and drop location, especially since the escort plane has run out of fuel and must return early, and the new drop location is very close to the air defense network.

He Fan was cursing the efficiency of the air force from the bottom of his heart, only to see the enemy's troops react suddenly. Following the harsh whistle of the officer, the Indian soldiers hurriedly tore off the camouflage net on the launch vehicle, and at the same time, a camouflage painted The installed illumination radar came out from nowhere, which was not discovered by their previous reconnaissance.

The launcher of the blue sky missile began to rotate, and at the same time adjusted the elevation angle of the missile, obviously they had aimed at something.

The huge flames illuminated the forest. The first launch vehicle on the Indian launch site fired four missiles into the northeast sky in a row, while the second launch vehicle failed to launch for unknown reasons.The shining missile quickly adjusted its posture in the air, and instead of going straight into the night sky, it flew zigzagging close to the hills, and finally disappeared into the low-altitude clouds.

At the same time, the noisy Indian missile force began to retreat in an emergency, but the scattered repair force vehicles prevented the missile launch vehicle from maneuvering on complex terrain.The trucks parked outside the woods started to flee first, and He Fan didn't care about them because they obviously didn't have communication equipment.

He Fan reminded each team to give priority to shooting command vehicles and other vehicles carrying satellite communication equipment. There are about 4 vehicles in the entire convoy.

Flashes of light came from the clouds in the sky. Obviously, the enemy's missile hit something. From the height, it should be a bomb gliding over. Theoretically, the fighter-bomber should be at a higher altitude to maximize the attack distance of the bomb. .

But the skid bombs blocked by the missiles are only part of the way.Amidst the ear-piercing screams, several bombs crashed into the woods in an instant.Immediately enveloped the convoy before it could leave, and then the second wave of bombs roared, the position was slightly off, but it happened to catch up with the fleeing truck convoy.

In a sea of ​​flames, about 5% of the enemy's technical equipment was instantly destroyed.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Indian army, He Fan's tanks drove out quietly and lined up. After aiming patiently for a period of time, they opened fire and destroyed all the communication and command vehicles in an instant.Immediately, the tank launched a charge, using thermal imaging cameras to attack the still walking vehicles.The enemy was still in shock and didn't find any other enemies besides the air strikes at all, or someone found out, but the command was completely confused.
