Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 449 Anger

He Fan rushed all the way down, changing his previous sneaky style.He also knew that here, only the brave would win, and he had to rely on armor when necessary.

The drone was able to see 5 tanks, so there are at least 10 nearby.As long as the whole team rushes down the approach bridge, at least they won't suffer too much in terms of numbers.

Lin Huaisheng was on the command vehicle, watching the scene of He Fan leaving the brigade and rushing down the bridge in horror, he couldn't help feeling:
"This kid was struck by lightning, and he really gained a lot of courage."

In principle, He Fan should of course avoid opponents with more firepower than himself, and based on Lin Huaisheng's previous observations, this person is more suitable for command, far less brave than Sergeant Yahini.

"08, I see that the enemy tanks around you are approaching you, you can slow down appropriately." Lin Huaisheng said.

"Where are they aiming their guns at?"

"All aimed at the bridge, it seems that they want to ambush you."

"If I slow down, I can only be blocked on the bridge. Now I can only attack with a single vehicle, overtake them and disrupt their deployment."

He Fan immediately vetoed the suggestion of his immediate superiors. Since the enemy wants to build a defense, they cannot easily succeed. They must use 08's prominent position to rush into the enemy's formation and disrupt their deployment.Through the inter-vehicle radio station, he ordered 07 to continue the condescending surveillance, and the rest of the vehicles stopped on the bridge until he first scouted and figured out the situation before moving forward.

The No. 08 tank drove into the city of Tespur first. He glanced at the general position of the enemy tank that was specially marked for him by the command staff on the display. It seemed to approach in a fan shape, but it was just caught In the factory area where three vehicles were destroyed, the troops were relatively weak.He directed the driver to directly install a brick wall and directly enter the building of the Tespur Power Plant.There are huge buildings and chimneys erected here, and an east-west railway runs across the middle, which seems to be a battlefield that requires special skills.A T08 tank destroyed by No. 72 was burning in front of the eyes, and there were one or two explosions of machine gun ammunition from time to time.He Fan directed the driver around the burning tank, he was worried that the enemy might find him first with the help of the light.The data link has been unable to update the enemy's situation, they may be hiding in every corner.

He kept looking at the monitor, and the drone's field of view was clearly out of here, unable to update the target's position.There used to be a reinforced infantry defense here. Obviously, the superiors used some countermeasures to solve the troops here.However, the enemy's temporary headquarters may have noticed this change and immediately sent a team of tanks. From the quantitative analysis, there may be a company.

He Fan's forehead was pressed against the forehead pad of the peripheral vision mirror, and he turned the handle to search every corner carefully. The thermal imaging equipment has not been fully recovered. Once it is used for a short time, it will soon become a vast expanse of whiteness that cannot highlight the temperature difference.The tank carefully drove quickly along a section of the coal railway in the factory, getting some clues from No. 07 from time to time, and He Fan tried to outflank the enemy.Although he doesn't know the exact location of the enemy, he can roughly judge the characteristics of the average tanker based on years of research—once he occupies a better position, he doesn't like to move.

"08. There is an antenna behind the wall at 10 o'clock, and there may be a tank below. It is 150 meters away from you, out of my shooting range, or you can force it out of the corner. I will solve it."

The No. 07 tank on the bridge reminded through the inter-vehicle communication that it obviously hoped that He Fan would help him.

"You shoot at him to draw his attention to you, and I'll strike from behind." He Fan said, he doesn't like not to obey other people, although his current vision and shooting range are not good, but He judged that as long as he advances a certain distance, he can occupy a favorable position, which is far better than 07's passive waiting.

No. 08 continued to stop and go along the railway, looking extremely cautious.The driver's low-light night vision system actually saw a tank rushing straight ahead, but the gunner couldn't see it.

"Company commander, a tank is crossing in front of you."

"The thermal imaging camera is malfunctioning, I can't see it."

The fighter plane suddenly appeared, but the thermal imaging camera failed again.He Fan had no choice but to lift the top hatch, and fired a flare in the general direction.Lin Huaisheng has always asked the frontline troops to minimize the use of this kind of thing, because it will cause considerable interference to the observation of drones, but since drones cannot provide reconnaissance, He Fan thinks it doesn't matter.What's more, he has always accepted any orders with reservations.

Indian tanks emerged from the darkness, still completely unaware, thinking it was sporadic artillery fire flying overhead.

The No. 08 gunner switched to white light aiming, and found that the target was 08 meters away, filling the entire scope, and there was no need for any ranging or reticle.He aimed directly at the target turret, watched the enemy commander stick out his head, and stared at himself.Obviously, the signal/flare fired by He Fan also exposed No. [-].The gunner made sure that the line of sight was roughly at the commander's thigh in the turret.He moved the aiming blip to avoid the side reactive armor, then waited for the motor driving the turret to move the gun's line of fire into position.During this time, the Indian car Changfei also jumped out of the turret, abandoned the car and fled.

A shell directly pierced the side armor, as if it hit the Indian Army emblem, and then flames spewed out from the opened commander's hatch. A second later, the ammunition inside the vehicle was detonated, and the turret was blown into the sky.The driver hurriedly stopped and turned sharply, and the falling turret was falling in front, creating a deep hole.

At this time, the tanks on the approach bridge also followed He Fan's instructions to attack the hidden target below, using parallel machine gun tracer bullets to shoot at his hiding place. Seeing that the machine gun could not penetrate the wall, they fired a single shot.The shell passed through the thick concrete firewall around the main transformer, but the kinetic energy loss was too great to continue to penetrate the T72.But the tank was out of order, and the commander made an unwise choice. He turned the front of the tank and tried to escape. He Fan saw the enemy's transfer from the hole in the wall, and completely exposed the weak rear to his gun. Before the mouth.Without waiting for He Fan's order, the gunner directly aimed at a 07-foot-square circular hole made by the No. 2 armor-piercing projectile, destroying the tank in one fell swoop.

"07 continued to monitor at the original position, and the rest of the vehicles slowly drove down the approach bridge, sweeping the arc-shaped area designated by the headquarters."

Eight tanks slowly drove down the bridge and joined the battle.The thermal imaging cameras of these tanks worked in the dark of night, and in the 8-minute battle, 20 tanks were destroyed.The drone saw another 5 escaped. Obviously, the enemy's tank force here is almost a company.He Fan seized the bridgehead boundary marked by the headquarters and began to wait for the follow-up troops to cross the bridge.About 2 Snowwolves were the first to cross the bridge, followed by a company of utility helicopters.During the entire defense process, there was only cold shooting in the urban area, and there was no large-scale counterattack by the Indian infantry.

Lin Huaisheng saw that the vanguard had occupied the bridgehead, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.With Tespur at his fingertips, he was a little bit confused. The sneak attack plan he submitted to the headquarters and the subsequent plan to seize the entire Assam that he submitted to the headquarters would be considered as the end of the sneak attack.However, the war is obviously not as easy to end as previously imagined. Although the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is lower than the predicted level, the resistance of its upper echelon is higher than expected. In the end mean.Maybe they're waiting for a comeback?Now for Lin Huaisheng, there are three questions left.One is whether the next battle can block the enemies fleeing here along the railway from all directions and complete a huge encirclement.The second is how to separate this area from India to form a de facto separation. Of course, this matter is beyond his control.The third, and the biggest suspense, is what will happen to Lausanne.From what he knows, Lausanne should already be within the encirclement. What will be the fate of this old enemy?

The Indian Army has completely abandoned Tespur's air defense, and its air defense firepower has become sporadic.The fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force circled over Tespur, always on guard against the sudden appearance of the enemy air force to destroy the bridge.However, the few Su-30s of the Indian Air Force just missed their faces from afar, and then turned back, obviously not determined to rush out to fight.

"The enemy's troops left in Tespur don't seem to have fought back much?"

"Their new commander may have issued an order to abandon the city and flee. Some information has proved from the side that they have a general retreat intention. Retreat to the east of Sigurd, which is said to be the last line of defense previously drawn by Pasade It’s right there, with considerable advantages in mountains and rivers.” Ding Keguang said.

"What shall we do next?"

"Chief of Staff, we have a complete railway that can be extended directly to the Sigurd area. It just needs to be freed up and repaired."

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the frontal minefield has been cleared, we can act now."

"Okay, let's go into the city. Jabwa will send guards along the way here. I heard that the Indian army has distributed a lot of light weapons when they leave. Beware of guerrillas."

"Yes, the people around Tespur have a high degree of loyalty to the Indian government and need special treatment."

Lin Huaisheng's brigade of ground troops began to advance rapidly along the road, and the enemy was rapidly disintegrating. The moment he had dreamed of finally arrived, but he was not excited, as the situation was still undergoing subtle changes and could reverse at any time.

The basement of the Prime Minister's Palace in New Delhi.India's top leaders finally accepted the fact that Tispur changed hands. In fact, this is also the most helpless order of the newly appointed commander.He once asked the troops to continue to resist, but the troops in the city began to disobey and retreat westward privately, and some simply lost contact.

24 hours ago, the Indian Army opened the arsenal of Tespur to arm a large number of non-combatants and expanded the temporary combat force to 1 people, but these people are obviously mixed with spies, and some people are walking in the city. A large number of cities are about to fall According to rumors, the military police even found "surrender" propaganda materials printed in Hindi and English on the street, hyping up the idea that the Indian government had abandoned Assam.Then there were problems with the communication and command of the various units, and the organization quickly disintegrated.The wanton sabotage of the latent elements became more and more rampant. Some people modified the warehouse withdrawal documents, causing ammunition of the wrong caliber to be sent to the positions of the air defense forces, the communication lines were cut off, and the grassroots communication was lost.A "report to the people" calling itself the "Assam Provisional Self-Government" appeared on the short-wave radio.A tank unit dispatched by General Moro Ghani hastily arrived from afar, hoping to arrive before daytime to strengthen the defense of the south of the bridge, but someone blew up the accompanying oil tanker, causing the troops to arrive at the north of the bridge after dark.After the huge chaos, Moro Ghani also lost confidence, and he ordered the army to retreat if necessary.

"What do the Americans say about the current situation?" Singer asked Charmain in frustration.

"They just suggested that it would be more beneficial for us to stop the fighting in Assam and move our troops to areas where we can maintain the front line."

"It's not just a military issue, it's a serious political issue. Once the territory falls into the enemy's hands, separatists will come 'whoosh'," said Prime Minister Kahan, who of course expressed his gratitude. It is clear what bitter medicine the Americans have prescribed, after all, he himself planned the independence of Baluchistan.

"However, we seem to have no more troops to send." Singh said, "Several divisions have been mobilized from Kashmir, but the transportation of heavy weapons is difficult, and the enemy is well aware of this."

"There is also the issue of morale. The series of failures in the eastern provinces will inevitably generate anger in the states. The situation is very different from a month ago; we should pay attention to these emotions, and they may get out of control at any time." Charmain added.

"Well, I understand the people, and they have reason to be angry, but such anger can easily erupt from unexpected places, and maybe the government will be pointed at." Kahan frowned and thought for a long time, "By the way, how will the military court plan to prosecute? The lieutenant general?" He suddenly asked a question unrelated to the previous discussion.

"General Chaguye, are you going to sue him for passive combat or improper command?" Singer said.

"No, the people must see that our military setbacks were accidental, and I propose that he be charged with treason."

"Crime of treason?"

"Yes, the anger of the people is a destructive force that needs proper guidance. We must direct this force to the traitors and aggressors of the people, not ourselves."
