Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 458

"Snow Wolf reports that the enemy is stepping up their mobilization, and there are signs of movement to the outskirts of the city. In addition, there are also intelligence reports that the enemy is approaching from the periphery."

"Did the drone verify the discovery?"

"No. The latest one arrived was shot down on the first lap. Two minutes later, another one arrived. It may need to stay at a higher altitude to avoid the enemy's air defense forces."

Lin Huaisheng remained silent, he had to wait patiently.He established an artillery position on the south bank, expecting to cover the moving enemy, but in the urban environment, the artillery does not have an ideal range of fire, and the air strike is always threatened by the enemy's SAM missile, and it is easy to miss it. A dead fighter.

"What's going on with He Fan?"

"I have been actively seeking a battle, but this move must not go wrong, otherwise they will be overwhelmed by the enemy soon." Lao Ding reminded that he was always denying Lin Huaisheng's plan, but Lin Huaisheng knew that there was no shortage of such people around his ears. suggestion.

In front of He Fan's eyes, a second tank flashed from the block, and then quickly passed and headed north, followed by about a company of infantry.He Fan had no shooting range, and could only see the towering machine guns and antennas of the tank moving quickly above the ruins, so he let them pass. Two low-slung BMP-2s also followed. This is the first time that infantry fighting vehicles have been found in the city. Although it is not a big surprise, with these vehicles, the organization of the enemy is obviously not as simple as originally thought.

After a while of calm, another large group of Indian troops began to emerge from the ruins. It seems that the bombing played a shocking role. They wanted to move to the northern urban area.

He Fan immediately spoke with Lin Huaisheng, notified the current situation one by one, and then proposed an idea that he would cut off the retreating enemy and destroy the enemy's deployment to the greatest extent; although he had no way of knowing the enemy's specific plan, given the The enemy's communication is suppressed, and it is expected that it is only to execute the entrusted command of the transfer in batches; as long as it is inserted horizontally under the gendarmerie command building and intercepts the retreating enemy by surprise, it can disrupt and divide the enemy.

Lin Huaisheng was a little hesitant, although intuitively he also felt that any plan that was beyond the enemy's expectations was feasible, but risks were inevitable. He Fan and Xuelang were important units that he could not lose. Of course, in this war he I can't afford to lose.

During the period of his hesitation, He Fan reported that about 300 enemy troops and 2 tanks passed in front of He Fan, and it seemed that the time was ripe.However, the threat of India's shoulder-fired missiles to drones has always been a hindrance to Lin Huaisheng's final determination.He Fan urged through the radio, and then Wang Tiechuan assured that the snipers occupying the commanding heights could suppress the air defense firepower.With a hot brain, he finally decided to carry out this risky plan.He ordered the frontal troops who had been fighting in the ruins of the streets and alleys to continue to drive the enemy away from house to house, trying to exhaust the enemy's strength at all costs, and then he ordered all five drones carrying laser-guided bombs.Immediately take off from Jabwa to support.

At the moment when Tispur’s final fate was about to be decided, in the Prime Minister’s Office in New Delhi, photos brought back by the MiG 25 were laid out on the table in a row. Some photos showed that the Chinese army was providing support through the bridge; It brought exciting news, and the fiery Tespur was still resisting.This is fully confirmed by the information brought back by the retreating troops. There are indeed about 4000 troops who refused to carry out the order of the new commander and retreated to the west to reorganize. They bet their honor and lives and went into battle by themselves. It has been going on for 12 hours, and this force has not been eaten by the aggressive Chinese army, and it seems to have held half of Tezpur.

Prime Minister Kahan held the telegram sent back by the Air Force in his hand, and couldn't help crying.In this war, his fighting spirit burned every moment, but his gratitude to the soldiers never surpassed this moment.

"I want to know who is the commander of the young people who are fighting there." Kahan said with tears.

"I don't know yet. The communication has been completely blocked by the enemy. It's not just electronic interference. When the enemy's main force was still on the south side of the bridge, there was an ambush team that professionally destroyed the underground communication cable." Charmain said, "Now we We only know that the counterattack was organized by a low-ranking officer, and this is the information obtained from the intercepted calls after the enemy suddenly stopped interfering in the morning, but we don't know his name."

"Yeah, true warriors and shameless traitors, why are India always filled with these two kinds of people, so that the direction of our war has become confusing." Kahan said with emotion, and Singh beside him intentionally or unintentionally Glancing at the foreign minister.Chandra was unmoved. He considered himself not a traitor and had nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, in his opinion, Singh did not understand the difference between "warrior" and "warrior", or the Prime Minister himself I don't understand.

"Facts have proved that General Moro Ghani's judgment was wrong. He gave up the area south of Tawang without saying a word, those very important areas, and did not use the criss-crossing rivers there to stop the enemy. The most serious thing is that he He actually asked the defenders of Tezpur, 100 kilometers away, to retreat." Singh said taking advantage of the situation, he knew that the Prime Minister liked to hear this, "I knew that the enemy attacking from Jabwa was a sham, with very few numbers and no heavy equipment. , it is very unwise to give up Tespur for nothing."

Singer's afterthoughts even made Charmain a little hard to accept. He knew that the order to abandon Tespur was approved by the Army Staff Department. At that time, everyone, including Singer, was in a state of panic.

"Prime Minister, with all due respect, there may be nothing wrong with what General Moro Ghani did. He just wanted to collect limited troops and maintain a line of defense before winter to prevent the CCP from crossing Sigurd into...our hinterland."

"Like the traitor in Chaguye, he only thinks about defense, not how to counterattack. When our troops are still superior to the enemy, we retreat westward so decisively."

"The problem is that we can't provide enough air support to the ground forces. It's very difficult for our air force to even reach the sky over Tespur to take pictures."

Charman’s rebuttal stunned Singh. What he said was of course the truth. The decision to withdraw the air force to encircle New Delhi was made in this place, so that the Chinese air force completely controlled most of Assam’s airspace. It is also common sense to counterattack in the case of air supremacy.

In recent months, Singer has been refuted many times by Charmain, which makes him very dissatisfied.He didn't even get too far into it, Charmain's failure of Chinese intelligence gathering, and Charmain's position has clearly loosened.

"Guys, is there any possibility of fighting back, aiding our warriors, and retaking Tezpur? It will be very politically realistic," Kahan added, and he was able to say such words, which were completely expected by others. within.

"I think the Chinese army is eager for us to stop so that their three-way army can surround and annihilate our troops from the south, east and north at the same time. General Moro Ghani's plan is ugly, but it is the most realistic. Only In winter, when their logistics can no longer continue, it is time for us to fight back," Charmain said.

Kahan shook his head with a sigh. It seemed that most of the people in the conference room were frightened and opposed the plan to fight back.

Just as Singh was about to speak, an air raid siren sounded outside, followed by a particularly clear explosion. The lighting in the conference room flickered for a moment, and then went back to normal.

"Why is their air strike so early today?" Singer looked at his watch. It was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. "The sound of the explosion is also very close?"

The meeting was interrupted for a while, until someone outside approached and whispered in the prime minister's ear, and sure enough, a Chinese cruise missile crossed the old streets of Delhi, attacked the Safford Joan military airfield, and wounded a VIP of the Secret Service Squadron It is a special plane to pick up and drop off, but it is said that the problem is not serious and can be repaired.

"Too much, literally."

All the officials started talking about it. It is clear that China’s cruise missile strikes are becoming more and more unscrupulous. It has begun to be day and night. An average of 4 missiles are needed to intercept an enemy’s cruise missile, and the interception rate is only one-third. Although the state-run Television stations often broadcast pictures of the wreckage of enemy cruise missiles shot down by air defense forces as positive publicity, but the Ministry of Defense clearly calculates an account, and India is completely at a disadvantage in such exchanges.Chinese missiles are being continuously produced, and every day they launch several condescending missiles to test new routes to attack new targets, while India's defense is not only costly, but also passive for a long time.

"What is the purpose of their attack?" The Prime Minister asked blankly, "Is it to intimidate our people? Or is it an airplane?"

"I think the real purpose should be to contain our troops in the north." Charman said slowly, "Their overall combat advantage has been revealed. We were able to occupy Fort ***, but they are staring at New Delhi. That's the message they're trying to get across with the missiles."

The venue became commotion again, but Charmain, as the lowest-ranking official here, managed to hit the key point every time, which showed that he had a good eye and could always see through the enemy's intentions.

"Yes, they are taking advantage of Kashmir's geographical advantage to divert our troops from moving to Assam. The same is true for these missiles. They are so close to the Prime Minister's Office, they are trying to intimidate our decision-making."

Kahan shook his head again, knowing that it was a trap, but he had to take advantage of it. Behind Aksai Chin's provocation, China's strength is also real. Once the soldiers point south, they may really rush to the Ganges.

"In addition, Pakistan is reorganizing its armored forces with the assistance of China. They may combine the participating units of the 6th and 1st Armored Divisions to form a new armored group, which will soon launch an attack from Quetta to the south. That's what General Spanga said."

"How much aid did the Chinese give?"

"At least 48 main battle tanks, 45 self-propelled large-caliber howitzers, and some drone troops." Singh said.

The Prime Minister nodded slightly, indicating that he heard it.

"Their weapons production is simply a bottomless pit. They can organize counterattacks in several directions at the same time, and continuously deliver various weapons and ammunition?"

Singh introduced the new serious situation.Not far away, Chandra responded with an imperceptible sneer. He had told Singh not to provoke China. The advantage in production capacity will be obvious. Although this should be a common sense, Singer is always obsessed with his theory of quick victory and cannot extricate himself. Now, all the bad predictions have come true.

Tespur, 3:20 p.m. local time.

He Fan's No. 08 tank took the lead and plunged straight into the middle of the enemy column. He remotely controlled the top machine gun in the commander's observation mirror and fired at the disgraced Indian infantry.The enemy didn't expect him to burst out of the rubble behind him, and he was completely defenseless.

At the same time, the No. 07 tank appeared at another intersection 60 meters away, and knocked down the BM-1P tank parked outside the Indian Army Command with a shell.
This headquarters is hidden deep in the basement of the building facing the street. Judging from the whip antenna placed on the tree on one side and a row of communication motorcycles close to the building, it can be judged as at least the first-level headquarters of the company.

No. 07 rushed to the front, and the attention of the enemies who escaped from the BMP was focused on the intersection 150 meters to the west, where they repeatedly fought. Unexpectedly, the tank came from behind.One officer didn't realize it wasn't a passing tank until it hit his ass.

No. 07 drove to the door of the basement, pointed the muzzle directly at the semi-underground entrance, and then tilted the car body to adjust the depression angle.At this time, the tank had just been loaded with a special infantry shell that had been dehulled by the tail. This shell could burst out a large number of arrow-shaped fragments, and it had an excellent killing effect in a small room.

An Indian communications soldier walked out of the gate with a document bag slung across his shoulders. Seeing the black muzzle aimed at him, he quickly turned around and fled back, closing the door behind him.This action was purely redundant. The No. 07 artillery directly blasted half of the basement with devastating shots. Under the machine gun fire of nearby enemies, the No. 07 tank opened fire on the basement again. Unfortunately, this time it hit the force on the foundation. structure.The whole building began to creak and shake, and there was half a machine gun battery and a SAM missile team on it.

Seeing that the building was about to collapse, 07 retreated immediately.After the building collapsed, Wang Tiechuan kept looking for 07 in the smoke, and it took him a minute to see him sticking out the barrel from the dust.
