Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 457 Tight Defense
Zheng Hui watched the battle from the monitor. He knew that he would launch missiles on that occasion, but from the perspective of a bystander, he knew that the position to seize was too reluctant, and it was exposed too early, so there was basically no chance.

Sure enough, the Indian pilot calmly lowered the altitude in exchange for speed quickly, and then led several missiles to accelerate downward.The J-10 pilot almost forgot to breathe, staring at the rapidly shrinking number on the HUD, the distance between the missile and the target was quickly shortened by half, but unconsciously, the range exceeded 30 kilometers.

The MiG-25 then started the roller motion, still maintaining its course, and the trailing missiles were forced to dance along with it, making an action similar to constantly modifying the course. The speed (the rocket engine has stopped working), resulting in a greatly reduced range; when the MiG 25 began to turn and climb, all the missiles could no longer keep up.The nearest missile approached within 1.5 kilometers, and eventually lost momentum and could not keep up with the climb.

"If it flies like this a few times, it will crash soon." Zheng Hui comforted on the radio.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks," the captain of the J-10 said, cut off the communication between the formations, and then turned to the channel of the early warning aircraft, "Kunlun, my formation has insufficient fuel, and may not be able to escort the entire journey." They lost the fuel tank ahead of time, and now the voyage is finally over. there is a problem

"You can return early, at least stick to the Poldirac River."

"clear."

Just as the J-10 formation missed fighter planes due to wrong tactics, Zheng Hui's eyes fell on the second MiG-25 scurrying north of Tespur. This plane seemed to be tasked with detecting ground radar from the flanks. The stay is longer and the route changes more.

The J-16 formation carried several tons of bombs, and it was impossible to intercept them directly. However, Zheng Hui was looking forward to the enemy hitting his muzzle, because the opponent did not have an early warning aircraft to support him, so he probably didn't know much about the battlefield situation.A plan began to form in his mind.

A few months ago, he had rescued a Pakistani colonel on the border. The colonel talked almost everything during his recovery, almost talking about his experience of fighting every kind of Indian aircraft, including the MiG-25.

Although the intelligence staff on the side later revealed that the colonel's squadron had never had any intersection with the Indian MiG-25 unit, the method he said seemed to stand up to scrutiny.

One of the colonel's methods is to sneak attack, afterburner drill to the enemy's rear, but don't use the radar too early to scare it.To deal with these reconnaissance planes that often perform missions alone, hiding in the dark is the most restrained way.The rear view of the MiG 25 is very bad, and the pilot believes in speed. Compared with other pilots, he does not pay so much attention to the rear, at least he does not look back several times a minute.

The second method, if the ground radar tracks the MiG-25 all the way, then you can also guess its return path and stop directly in front. These aircrafts are very fast, but the routes are usually not complicated, and they cannot fly at low altitudes.As long as it appears in front of it, it can be forced to turn and stall, but the attack window is generally not long, because the enemy plane has the ability to quickly speed up and get out of the way.Once the interceptor falls to the back hemisphere, it is not easy to succeed.The colonel later added that even if an infrared missile with poor performance is attacked head-on, the heat source on the skin of the MiG-25 can be tracked from the front, so don't chase until 6 o'clock and fire at [-] o'clock as in the general air, or it will be too late.

"Kunlun, I think it's better for us to intercept it. I think that guy is starting to feel dizzy."

"Yangtze River, they have thrown off a lot of interceptions, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, we know his whereabouts the whole time, are we afraid we won't be able to stop him?"

The senior officer on the command plane thought about it. The J-16 formation still had a lot of fuel, so it seemed that they could try it. Everyone knew that the enemy plane went deep into this place. There is a half chance.So the command plane began to set shortcuts and began interception operations.

The three J-16s interrupted their original mission and flew to the area designated by the command plane. At the same time, according to Zheng Hui's order, they turned off their radars so as not to alert the opponent.The fighter plane carrying the bomb struggled to climb to more than 10 meters, occupying a high altitude.At the same time, the escorting J-[-] formation could not continue and turned back.The lead plane was thinking that if the escorted fighter-bomber managed to succeed, it would be a shame.

Theoretically, the remaining MiG-25 consumed more fuel, so the speed must be faster.However, in the modern battlefield where the role of informatization is becoming more and more important, relying on one or two tricks alone will not always work.Since the analysis interception rate of the command plane is 50.00%, counting the lead plane that escaped by chance, the remaining plane has actually fallen into a huge crisis.

The J-16, which was full of bombs like a bullock cart, slowly approached the expected enemy air route. Zheng Hui didn't send a wingman to outflank it. He didn't think it was necessary.The three planes with a distance of nearly [-] kilometers in front of them are enough to set up a big net to stop the opponent.

After completing the reconnaissance, the MiG-25 ran into the net laid by Zheng Hui as soon as it turned around. He encountered the radar tracking of the first J-16 and responded quickly. Hui direction flew straight over.

Zheng Hui calmly waited for the enemy to pass by at an altitude of 11000 meters. He knew that the opportunity to fire was fleeting, but there was no particular difficulty.He didn't use radar to alert his opponent, and he didn't need to search with extreme eyesight. In fact, he could accurately set up an ambush through the display and data link.

The opponent was eager to go back. Sure enough, as Sami said, the Indian pilot instinctively chose the shortest route and went straight there.The pilot in the rear seat moves twice to observe in the general direction, hoping to catch the target as soon as possible
"It seems that it is not very difficult to beat this guy." Zheng Hui said, "The only challenge is to seize the position, which is very similar to football."

There was no response from the command plane, and those anxiously waiting over there were not interested in big talk.But in fact, the MiG-25 just kept accelerating, trying to escape by flying in the simplest straight line.

"There, at two o'clock."

Zheng Hui looked up, and a track was rapidly extending in the blue sky, and far ahead of the track was a black spot moving at high speed.

Zheng Hui turned the nose of the plane and used the infrared tracking system in front of the windshield to scan. Now he does not have to worry about the speed of the target, because the enemy is consciously approaching him. The pilot of a single-seat reconnaissance plane always needs to face various situations. Their attention It is not easy to concentrate power, which is what Sami said before; especially now that the Indian fighter planes are confronting the Red Flag 16 position on the south side of the bridge, the Indian pilots are very clear about the envelope of the surface-to-air missiles, so they only cut into the limited distance within the line, He thought that relying on speed and opportunism, he could safely bring back the collected radar signature information.

At an extremely long distance, the J-16's infrared tracking system caught the target, and the infrared characteristics of the target were ideal.

Is it really that simple?Zheng Hui thought to himself, powering up the missile step by step. During the cooling process, the missile seeker has followed the guidance of IRST and followed the target. After a few seconds, the target can be intercepted, and the target is throwing off the ground triumphantly. And the radar in the air is completely unaware of the frontal threat.

The sound of Didi sounded in the earphones, and Zheng Hui dived straight to the enemy plane, and launched two PL3.5 missiles about 2 kilometers away.Although it is a head-on attack, the infrared signature of the MiG-8 makes it less likely to be missed by missiles.In a state of no intelligence support, the Indian pilots only noticed the enemy plane flying close above.Quickly press the lever down while pushing the throttle hard to afterburner.

The initial speed of PL8 far exceeded the target, and with a huge overload, it flew towards the target and directly hit the middle of the target.

The plane rolled several times in the explosion and immediately disintegrated. The pilot successfully parachuted, but it was not known whether he could survive at such a speed.

Zheng Hui looked at the floating umbrella flowers below and thought: "How can it be so easy to slip past every time?"

The whole interception process was like a drill. Zheng Hui easily occupied a very favorable position without making a move beyond 4G. Although the enemy plane was fast, it slammed into the muzzle of the gun like a headless fly.

Zheng Hui turned the nose and waited for the disbanded formation to regroup.Tispur is right in front of him. He has already been here when India still has a lot of anti-aircraft firepower, and today's mission is even more so.After the weapon safety is opened and the weapon is powered on, the gyroscopic navigation system on the bomb begins to calculate its own course.According to the guidance of the navigation display, Zheng Hui bypassed some areas with large obstructions, and then dropped all the bombs when the target was completely invisible above the clouds.

He Fan was impatiently waiting for the bombing in the corner of Tispur, for fear that the enemy's headquarters would be transferred in advance, which is also common in urban guerrilla warfare.

He saw the launch of the missile on the other side and the sudden stop of traffic on the bridge. He estimated that the superiority of the air guaranteed by his superiors was nothing more than that.However, just when he was worried about the lack of air support, a row of screaming bombs flew over his head.The bomb flew along between the two buildings. The bomb's flight accuracy was a bit lacking. One of the bomb's wings touched a building on one side, but it didn't prevent it from falling directly to the target not far ahead by its inertia.

Several buildings in the core attack area quickly collapsed in a series of explosions.The snow wolves observing from the commanding height not far away were also shrouded in dense smoke and dust. They could only choose to eat ashes with their mouths wide open to avoid damage to their ears. Within 30 seconds, the bombs fell like raindrops. If the enemy did not hide in the ground, they should have suffered heavy casualties.

After a few minutes, the smoke finally came down slowly.Contrary to Wang Tiechuan's expectations, a tank came rumbling out of the ruins. Apparently there were some underground facilities where the tanks could be hidden, which was obviously beyond the eyes of the intelligence department.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Indian commander was poking his head outside and commanding blindly, the sniper immediately aimed and shot, and accurately hit the Indian commander in the chest from 350 meters away. The commander suddenly fell down and fell heavily into the vehicle.The driver, who also leaked his head out, was not hit by the deputy shooter, and immediately got into the car and closed the hatch.

The commander of the Indian Army, who was unknown nearby, did not know where the gunshots were, and hid in the wrong direction, exposing his entire back.This time it was the deputy shooter who shot accurately and killed him.

The Indian tank, which lost its commander, started and advanced quickly, trying to escape across the block, pointing its muzzle to the east, exposing the rear of the weak turret.After He Fan passed through the enemy's rear, almost all the enemies focused their attention on the east. Perhaps it was the deafening bombing and shelling that continued uninterrupted, and it was difficult for the Indians to recover.

The No. 07 tank did its part and shot first, destroying the T72 tank.He Fan is not in a hurry to shoot, the most important thing now is to use the tank's radio to keep in touch with Lin Huaisheng.

Lin Huaisheng is also waiting for the enemy to be in disarray after the bombing. He finds that the enemy is slowly adapting to war and causing trouble to his plan. If this enemy cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles.

The whole morning's battle, casualties and ammunition consumption have exceeded the sum since he landed in Jabuwa. He has accumulated these precious shells transported by air for a long time, and he destroyed most of the base this morning. , The standard for avoiding accidental injury to civilian targets has been lowered and lowered, and now the headquarters has not mentioned it.Eighty percent of the buildings in Tespur came under fire attack, but the enemy's resistance did not disappear in the hasty shooting, on the contrary they quickly adapted.A terrible balance of power and a stalemate are forming, which is the most dreadful situation for any commander who is used to attacking cities on the move.

"The field hospital reported that there was a lot of pressure there, and they needed to mobilize helicopters to divert the seriously wounded to Jabwa's hospital, and some of them needed to be transported back to the country."

"Use all available helicopters."

"There is also the latest information. The enemy's 5nd Mountain Division has completely left Arunachal. It is currently staying along the railway line. It may have to wait for the [-]th Mountain Division who came from afar to escape together. Our pursuit force has not yet completed Fight in the mountains."

"Time is running out. But we are still dawdling here." The chief of staff sighed heavily, not knowing whether he was blaming others or himself.

"Don't blame yourself too much. We don't have an absolute advantage in military strength, and it is indeed difficult to attack tough battles." Lao Ding said, seemingly indifferent.

"What era is this? It's more than the strength of the troops. We almost flattened the opposite side, and they haven't given up the city yet."

"Chief of Staff," Lao Ding turned to stare at him, "Why didn't our progress go well before? You should think this way, not all enemies are trash."

His words were meaningful, as if he was saying that someone underestimated the enemy and ventured forward. It is already rare luck to be able to touch this place, and he can't ask for more.
