Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 480 Final Siege

Qin Donghui urgently transferred the artillery company with all the shells to the breached gap, trying to block the enemies behind.Colleagues called He Fan for support through the communication soldier carried by He Fan.He Fan glanced at the extremely thick rammed earth wall in front of the unfinished third line of defense. This thick wall was piled up with the excess soil when digging the first two lines of defense. It was originally used to hide the headquarters and mortars, and it was obviously also Excellent location for assault guns.

He immediately ordered Li Xiulin, who was shooting the enemy with a machine gun, and immediately led his men to drive behind the mound, trying to hide the tires and chassis, so as not to be exposed in the open area.Flares from both sides fell from the sky from time to time, and the enemy could clearly see these tall assault guns, so it was not good to attract firepower.

He Fan himself went all the way north, searching for the escaped enemy tanks. Those tanks that disappeared in the darkness were not eliminated, and they were always a scourge, which must be eradicated as soon as possible.Their sudden appearance behind any part of the battlefield may cause great danger.

Over the chaotic battlefield, Chinese fighter planes kept flying at low altitudes and dropped ammunition. The pilots went all out, and used the night vision pod to attack the enemies who were close to them, and offset the error by flying at low altitude.After several beautiful bombings, a large number of death squads fell, and the enemy's attempt to capture the commanding heights on both sides failed for a while.Lu Zuo himself was also pressed under the commanding heights, using the trenches dug by the Chinese army to hide. Several of his personal correspondents ran away while hiding from the bombs, and couldn't contact the headquarters and artillery support for a while.

Sampani stood about 1 kilometer away, watching the opponent's air force drop bombs at low altitude. The fire wall blocked the army's offensive, making the good situation stalemate again. He couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard and shouted.Now that the enemy already knows where his attack focus is, he will soon adjust his defense focus and main firepower. There is no way out, only desperate.

"Damn it, didn't a tank break through? Call a few times and let them fight back."

"Master, there is no response to the call?"

"Did it go too far?"

"It can be determined that the radio on the car is turned on, but there is no response. Calculate the enemy's jamming capabilities, they should be somewhere within 3.5 kilometers."

Sampani had a bad premonition that the leading platoon leader might not kill a carbine. Although he saw the unprecedented courage of the Indian Army in this battle of trapped beasts, once he broke through the line of defense , will they turn back?He himself had been thinking about rushing over to the headquarters immediately.

"Keep calling and tell them if I don't turn back and fight back, I'll shoot them with my own hands tomorrow."

"Yes."

The adjutant hurriedly urged the order not to go to the communication unit and continue to contact the tank. The communication company is in the bushes 150 meters outside the command post. This distance can follow the command post at any time. At the same time, it can prevent the enemy from monitoring the location and take over the command post. .

Inside the headquarters, Sampani continued to use the walkie-talkie to call nearby units. The battlefield is full of such low-power radio stations. He is confident that the enemy may not be able to find the headquarters:

"Let the follow-up tanks continue to attack this gap, and never give up. It's just a little short! Is there any news from Luzuo?"

"Not yet, but just now we saw enemy tanks at the front, and the outlines are not ours. Should we withdraw the last batch of tanks?"

A bomb fell several hundred meters away, and the major general felt dizzy for a while. He didn't know whether it was caused by the flash of the bomb or the news of the appearance of enemy tanks.

"No, continue to attack from here. Let the 5th Division also strengthen the offensive, and the enemy cannot draw troops from him."

In the air not far to the east, Zheng Hui's fighter plane has been circling in the air, trying to find some important targets. With enough range, he has already made a big circle. Unfortunately, low-altitude rain clouds destroyed the optical observation at night.However, the weapon instructor in the back seat has been adjusting the observation magnification of the pod, reminding the pilot to maintain or change the route from time to time.As the plane turned with a slight bank, he saw some flashes of light under the clouds, which looked like lightning, but the cloud discharge would not be so low.He guessed it might be the sign of the shell flying through the clouds.

"Adjust the radar to search on the ground. I estimate that the position is at position 227." Considering that the range of the M777 is not too far, it should be found.

"See anything?"

"Saw something moving, like a truck. Maybe a truck carrying shells, follow them."

The plane quietly followed the team of trucks, hoping to gain something.

India uses M777 light howitzers, which are difficult to detect by radar, especially when they are deployed in the forest and are not densely arranged.But those moving vehicles are another matter.Even if it is blocked by towering trees, it can still be continuously tracked by radar.

"We are out of ammunition. Call the headquarters and roughly determine the position of the enemy's artillery."

The command plane in the distance has been waiting for the news. The number of drones scattered is limited by the weather and its own number. Its infrared detection equipment has never been found. Unexpectedly, the fighter planes left on the battlefield found clues first.A nearby drone followed closely, biting the convoy so as not to lose the target when the fighter plane turned.

The Indian Tata 5-ton truck below is preparing to drag the howitzer to change positions.They took the silent drone, which was only 600 meters high, and flew all the way to the position.During the period, Zheng Hui's fighter plane lost its target several times because it was too close to the depression angle. This fighter plane only had 2 nearly 2 air-to-air missiles and 2 anti-radiation missiles left. It has lost the meaning of staying in the sky above the battlefield. The command plane Randomly command it to return home.When Zheng Hui set sail, he took too many air-to-air and anti-radiation missiles to be on the safe side, occupying the pylons that could have been hung on other ammunition, which can be said to be a mistake.

The command plane noticed that at the most critical moment just now, most of the fighter planes in the air had dropped their ammunition on the position to prevent the enemy from breaking through the position, and at the airport 900 kilometers away, the plane that had just taken off might miss it. warplane.It is expected that the well-trained artillery can pack up and evacuate within 5 minutes, and its command vehicle will slip away faster.So he asked the headquarters to use the "special plan" to attack the artillery positions.The command headquarters in the interior immediately approved this plan. The so-called special plan requires the command of the command headquarters. The Second Artillery Corps launches ballistic missiles to strike important targets.In fact, from the moment after obtaining the coordinates of the enemy's position, the Dongfeng missile position on standby has already been erected in Yunnan, and preparations have begun, and the inertial navigation equipment of the missile has also entered an irreversible power-on state.The only thing waiting is an order from the command.

These weapons are real rapid-strike firepower on the battlefield, and the preparation time can be very short (various deployments have been carried out), but they are not put into use because the fleeing enemy always has no high-value targets.

On the Indian position, the towing work was in full swing. The tractor was unable to accurately reverse the vehicle in the dark, but the artillerymen who knew the sound of the jet had to rely on their strength to complete the operation in the fastest time. When most of the artillery was about to stop, the sound of the jets overhead was already inaudible, and they didn't realize that a drone with a bomb flew overhead.

UAVs quickly search for command vehicles or geodesic vehicles on the ground, which is the fastest way to paralyze the enemy's second attack capability.However, the enemy seems to have anti-infrared treatment, and can only see the residual heat of the gun barrel and the light white figures walking around, but cannot see these key vehicles, so the drone aimed the laser beam at a seemingly The equipment of the power trailer, obviously this is part of the chain of command.

A 100kg bomb fell from the sky and blew up the trailer.Everyone on the battlefield stopped in astonishment, but no one ran around. They didn't know why the Chinese blew up a field cooking truck full of barley and miscellaneous grains. Maybe they made up their minds to starve themselves to death?
The thick clouds suddenly began to become translucent, bursting out with colorful rays of light in an instant.As soon as the flames pierced through the clouds and fell to the position like a whip of punishment in the hands of a victor, the warhead of more than half a ton immediately destroyed the entire position, burning a forest of about 10 hectares to ashes.

Sampani, who was commanding 15 kilometers away, saw a mushroom cloud-shaped fireball rising from the forest. He knew that the artillery might be over, and the means that the enemy could use were really endless.And all he has left is these cannons except his courage.

"Contact the artillery immediately."

Before the words fell, the second missile landed a hundred meters away from the first impact point, and wiped out a nearby security force that had just been stunned and a large forest. In fact, the second missile, as an insurance, did not launch. to too great an effect.

Only then did Sampani start to have a trace of fear in his heart. He suddenly felt that his superiority in numbers did not seem to be enough to offset the huge technical advantage of the enemy.

"Damn it. Where is the 23rd Division?" He asked the left and right irritably. This was the first time he cared about the location of the reinforcements after the battle started.

"General, the forward of the 23rd Division is almost here, and there are still 20 kilometers left."

"There are still 20 kilometers left? Where is their artillery, can they support us by hitting it?"

"The communication is not smooth. Five minutes ago, they claimed that they were also attacked by the enemy's air and could not move forward at full speed."

"What else did Lieutenant General Morogani say?"

"He said that as long as you persist, you will have a chance."

"The bastard."

Li Xiulin's assault guns were lined up, with barrels sticking out from behind the mound. Every battle the weasel had experienced since the beginning of the war felt so twisted, but now he found that he could completely control the situation.Now he doesn't need to worry about the weak armor mobility, he can give full play to the advantages of powerful firepower and night vision. Before the weasel came here, the Chinese army could not see the enemy behind the forest one kilometer away, but now, with the help of thermal imaging To the advantage of the instrument, the weasel can see the deployment of the enemy hiding behind the bushes.Those observation posts that didn't go too far into the forest and thought they were safe were under fire.But before we can deal with them, we have to deal with the last wave of enemy tanks that rushed over.

"All fire on their own, giving priority to shooting enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. We are the last line of defense, so..."

There was a loud noise outside the car, and before Li Xiulin finished speaking, someone in the queue had already started firing first. Sure enough, a T55 in the distance stopped quickly, and the artillery drooped.

A bad consequence of not completing the salvo is that the charging enemy tanks see the danger and start releasing hot smoke, which has limited effect on the thermal imaging camera, and when the tank walks in the smoke, the slightly darker silhouette can still be seen .The panicked enemy in the same smoke must also slow down to prevent crushing the infantry.

After free fire, the assault gun in the stopped state exerted its maximum power for night shooting on a stable platform.Almost without missing a shot, the enemy tanks hidden in the smoke were destroyed one by one.Li Xiulin himself was not in a hurry to hunt those exposed tanks. He was a little enlightened. He is the most commander, and it is the most meaningless behavior to compete with his teammates. He did not immediately indicate the target to the gunner, but took some time to observe it thoroughly. battlefield.Taking advantage of its position higher than the position, from the chain of the entire battle line, look for the link that can't be stretched.

On the commanding heights on the left, the machine gun fire failed one by one, and the Indian soldiers were desperately rushing upwards. Half of the grenades they threw rolled back to the pile of corpses left by their own people and exploded, but some exploded on the commanding heights. The last resistance is disappearing.The rolling Indian death squads, stepping on the corpses of their own people, went up crazily, and they could see a tattered army flag waving at the head, which was no more than 15 meters away from the highest point.

"Reload, change another anti-infantry round. The gunner pays attention to the direction I specify."

The loader operated quickly to withdraw the armor-piercing projectile in the barrel, and then took out a anti-personnel projectile from the ammunition that was not commonly used under the floor.During this period, the enemy had an upward impact of several meters.The replaced ammunition can burst out a large number of fragments. It is said that dealing with dense infantry is like mowing grass, but it has not been used even in exercises.

"Low the line of sight, don't hurt your own people."

The gunner took advantage of the loading gap and changed the type of ammunition on the panel from armor-piercing ammunition to grenade. The trajectories of these two ammunition are different, and at the same time began ranging and preparing to fire.

The laser fell on a dead body on the hillside.The distance reading was 275 meters, and the gunner lowered the line of sight appropriately according to the instructions, so as to prevent the flying shrapnel from hurting his own people on the top of the breakthrough.He simply aimed the reference reticle in the eyepiece at the rolling crowd.

In the scope, an entire shirtless company is shouting and charging. Some of them have even rolled off their pants in the mud. Only one belief supports them upward. As long as the Chinese's crossfire fails, they can immediately tear the Open a 150-meter gap. If you can control the commanding heights and shoot in all directions, this gap can quickly expand to 300 meters.

The gunner fired without waiting for the accurate calculated and compensated front sight of the ballistic computer to appear. At such a short distance, precise aiming is completely unnecessary.The shells directly hit the center of the densely charged enemy,
Viewed from the thermal imaging camera, the explosion of the shell was like a white whirlwind, and the people standing around fell down in unison, and then rolled down.The company was reimbursed instantly; even some Indian soldiers standing 200 meters away fell to the ground one after another.
