Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 481
From the thermal imaging camera, it can be seen that the body lying on the ground gradually loses temperature and becomes shallow in the rain. Li Xiulin suddenly felt that it was too cruel, but still anxiously waited for the second round to be reloaded.The surviving Indian death squads huddled behind fled down the slope and squeezed into the traffic trench occupied by them.Temporarily dodging into the blind spot of direct fire from all directions, the gunner took advantage of the gap between reloading and carefully studied the terrain.He found that the paratroopers' communication trenches were high at the front and low at the back. Obviously, when digging, a large amount of soil was filled to the enemy's attacking side. In such a terrain, his direct firepower is not easy to kill the personnel below, and the shells are easy to penetrate the soil layer. Explode the other end, so the power will be greatly reduced, although the cat is densely packed with enemies below.He moved his eyes and noticed a broken mortar tree sunken in the soil layer, and then saw the thick base of the mortar, which must have produced the desired effect if hit.

Through the thermal imaging camera, it can be seen that the rolling heads in the trenches are waiting to move. The Indians were stunned, and they still can't find who is attacking them.He lowered the line of fire, aiming the reference crosshairs at the base of the mortar, if the shells were able to explode over the heads of a large number of enemies.After the warhead of this shell explodes, a large number of sword-shaped fragments will be produced, especially these Indian soldiers don't even have body armor, and they don't even have clothes. Half of them wear Sikh turbans and no helmets.

There was a crisp sound, and the shells had been loaded.He decisively pressed the electric shock.Watching a flash of light fly away, it hit the base and exploded in the air.From the thermal imager, you can even see the scene of flying flesh and blood.

Qin Donghui has been nervously waiting for a miracle to happen not far away. He needs time to adjust his deployment; he regrets that he spread his troops evenly on the defense line and did not leave too many reserves.It now appears that the enemy launched the main offensive from his headquarters position, and the rest were only auxiliary offensives.

Lin Huaisheng's troops would not be here for a long time, but they would play a decisive role as soon as they arrived. He secretly swore that as long as he won, he could give up his plan to settle accounts with Lin Huaisheng after autumn. He had already cursed Lin Huaisheng in his heart ten or twenty times before.

The miracle on the battlefield finally happened.The momentum of the enemy rushing into the core position suddenly weakened; within 1 minute, the side with strong firepower immediately controlled the situation.The ten artillery pieces of the assault gun suppressed the enemy tanks and death squads on and in front of the position together, and caused heavy damage.At this moment, the three and a half companies that Qin Donghui mobilized from other solid lines of defense were still on the road. He immediately called for a stop and let these troops stay in the rear to quickly establish a central line of defense, and at the same time act as a reserve team in case of emergencies in other directions.Major General Qin knew very well that the momentum of the frontal enemy had been contained, and the situation was about to turn around.

"Go to the guard company to find some good marksmanship, send them to the commanding heights, and try to shoot and kill the commanders and communicators. Compress the enemy's space."

"General, we may not be able to drive them all out before dawn."

"Hold on until Chief of Staff Lin arrives. He has armor."

He has been calling Lin Huaisheng by his first name and swearing at him, but his sudden change of words really surprised his subordinates.

The Indian Death Squad suffered a huge setback, being suppressed by crossfire and unable to raise their heads, there were many casualties in the trenches, blood flowed like a river, and because the enemy resumed the commanding heights of firepower, the chassis was greatly compressed.Although they rushed into the position of the Chinese army in one go, they did not tear open a gap.After the desperate struggle, the titan Lu Zuo has lost his energy. The enemy's armored forces arrived in time, and the situation began to change.

In the end, the Chinese did not collapse, and their air force let go of their courage from the momentary timidity, while the Indian infantry, after losing the support of tanks and artillery, had no more backs.

"It's a pity, it's only the last 100 meters." He muttered to himself.

"Sir, the general sent out the last tank force, but they didn't come?"

The tanks in the rear were 500 meters away and were eliminated one by one, and the rest of the infantry was retreating.The death captain held on to the trench and stole a stroke to the rear.Chinese planes are bombing the forest area, and they should have guessed that the rear of the starting area of ​​​​the Indian infantry is the assembly area.

"Captain, what should we do if we run out of ammunition? The enemy's firepower continues to increase." A company commander who was wounded all over his body asked in horror.

"We failed, and their reinforcements have arrived, somewhere 200 meters to the west, very heavy firepower."

"But what do we do next?"

"How many people are left?"

"If you don't count the wounded, there are more than 400 people around."

Obviously, most of the 2000 people before the attack have been reimbursed.The group assault style of play has been proven as early as World War I, at least in front of the machine gun position, it is not feasible, although today the enemy paratroopers are very weak, and General Sampani has arranged tanks as the forward But in the end, this death squad that hoped to prove that its courage can overwhelm firepower fell short.

"You can do it yourself."

Lu Zuo dropped a sentence that his subordinates didn't understand, stepped back in the blood, and at the same time drew out a pistol and pointed it at his temple.The company commander on the opposite side immediately rushed over, ready to grab the gun.

A precision shooter on the high ground was using a 2.5x night vision scope to search for targets below. He noticed two Indians hugging each other, as if they were grabbing something.Although the enemy is shirtless and can't judge the importance, but whatever, the shooter quickly aimed at the two targets twisted together, and knocked them down together with one shot.

"Maybe he can kill a platoon leader?" he thought to himself.

At this time, He Fan's No. 08 tank was carrying a signal soldier to an abandoned village 2 kilometers to the west. He had been tracking the enemy's tank and found many traces, but failed to catch up.The driver saw the collapsed earth wall and bamboo forest in front of him, and it seemed that something had just burrowed through it in a panic.After the tank stopped, he stood on the support plate of the air intake shutter and held the communication soldier behind the shielding fence of the turret. The communication soldier immediately jumped out of the vehicle and quickly found the track marks of two tanks on the left and right on the ground.

The track marks went all the way to the west, and there was no sign of turning back, which further proved their judgment.The enemy tanks went all the way to the west and fled without hesitation. They should not come back to make trouble.

"There are mountains on both sides, and it looks like a funnel. It's a good place to stop the attack. Qin Donghui didn't even deploy scouts, and really put all the reinforcements from the west on Lin Huaisheng, the staff officer?" He Fan sneered after he got out of the turret, as if There are no positive comments on Qin Donghui and Lin Huaisheng

"It turned out that there were troops, but there were not enough troops in front an hour ago, so they went up. According to the original plan, the defense of this area is entirely borne by you." The paratrooper quickly explained for his superior.

"War is not a plan. It needs flexible hands. It's not Professor X. I saw Qin Donghui's position just now. The troops and firepower are evenly deployed, and there is no reserve team in depth. It is not surprising to be penetrated by tanks. Tanks can penetrate every section of him. line of defense."

This time the paratrooper couldn't refute it, but he really couldn't figure out why the tank commander dared to criticize a major general so much. Of course, when they actually landed, they didn't know that the enemy had so many tanks.

"This one……"

"War is like fighting, you have to be true and false. If the enemy's night vision equipment were better, they would have torn a few big holes in your position and cut off the way back. Fortunately, I came in time."

While speaking, the sound of firefighting behind him tended to weaken, and He Fan roughly guessed that the enemy was blocked.He has long known that Li Xiulin can play a huge role. The power of those 10 cannons can be more than doubled at night, because the enemy's backward night vision equipment can't see them at all.

"The enemy tank may be crooked at 10 kilometers, can we go back?" the signalman asked.

"No, going back won't be of much use. We'll stay here just in case. We must consider the possibility that the enemy will arrive first."

While talking, he shook out a map, looked at it with a small flashlight, and looked up from time to time to compare the surrounding landscape.As shown on the map, this village has no name and was replaced by a number by the staff. It is located in a low-lying area, with small hills on both sides, with elevations of 67.4 and 55.3. Although it is not high, the slope is large and difficult for tanks to cross. These heights can directly control the westward direction. The road is like a battleground for military strategists.

"Qin Donghui and Lin Huaisheng are not good enough. They are too superstitious about aerial reconnaissance. Hehe, the infrared equipment of drones is not very reliable in rainy days. I judge that the 23rd division will be the first, and it is very likely to arrive before midnight." He Fan said People talked to themselves endlessly, except for scolding others, they seemed to be quite complacent, "If the nest is the Indian teacher, they will be caught off guard. This is to get ahead of Lin Huaisheng's main force and pass through here to make a time difference. Reverse the situation. But fortunately, I am here."

"You want to use a tank to hold off an enemy division?" the paratrooper asked.

"What's so rare about this?" He Fan looked very disdainful, "This kind of thing has happened more than once in history."

The communications soldier had no way of evaluating such a big statement. Although he had no historical basis to refute such absurd statement, he felt that it was impossible. The guy in front of him skipped arrogance.

To the east of the battlefield, an electronic reconnaissance plane was slowly turning.The plane had been collecting enemy electronic communications near the battlefield, looking for important targets, but found nothing, because the enemy's radio stations were so scattered that it was difficult to distinguish the location of the command post.

There were several intelligence analysts on the plane who could understand Hindi, but no particularly valuable intelligence could be found from the fragmented conversations of the enemy.However, the plane still sent these conversations back to the command headquarters, where a voice signature analysis device was used to screen for important people.Thirty minutes ago, the intelligence center had just found out from special channels that the breakout battle was a major general named Sampani. Xu Jingzhe had never had a perfect grasp of this person's background.However, five years ago, when Sampani was the battalion commander, when he was directing the conflict in the control area, a voice was intercepted, which can now be used.

Soon a target was locked, and it was confirmed that although the intercepted voice was hoarse tonight, it was the same person as that year.

Xu Jingzhe quickly sent the report to the commander in the command hall. Of course, he had already ordered his staff to greet the Air Force, requesting to leave a plane carrying a satellite-guided bomb in the sky at any time.

The commander was also a little nervous after hearing this, and it was the first time he had experienced such a situation, but the possibility of hunting down the enemy's leader immediately aroused his interest, and he asked if it was possible to determine the location of the target and launch a strike.Xu Jingzhe told him that although it is technically feasible to intercept twice, the enemy used different frequencies for private defense, but as long as the enemy calls again, no matter what radio station he uses, he can be directly locked on himself.The measurement accuracy can be reduced to a range of about 50 meters, but certain conditions are required, depending on the course and distance of the measuring aircraft, and the time of the enemy's call.Then Xu Jingzhe made another suggestion, referring to the time of the last two calls intercepted, both after the attack plane bombed the frontier, and although the emission source has been moving, it is very close to the frontier each time.So he suggested that it is better to knock the mountain and shake the tiger; continue to bomb the edge of the forest, and wait for him to use the communication again.This requires adjusting the deployment of air forces, while reducing electronic interference by another level.

Four H-4 bombers with ordinary aerial bombs were in the air, and they were planning to bomb the newly discovered 6nd Division Automobile Battalion hiding in the forest supply route.Temporarily changed the plan and returned to the battlefield. The accuracy of their last high-altitude bombing has not been evaluated by the battlefield, and it seems to have no effect.But the command again asked them to bomb a rectangular area 2 km long.

This kind of bombing is very simple, you only need to use the bombing director to take over the automatic navigation system, and it is completely automatic, and the pilot can even leave the joystick.At night when the meteorological data is incomplete, neither direct observation nor lower altitude is allowed, so the accuracy can be imagined.

The bombers approached the target airspace in a diamond formation.The bomb bay slowly opened, and a large number of bombs swayed and fell. Through the thick clouds, you can also see the flickering flames below. Maybe it can blow up to the head of a battalion, at least a company?
Sampani continued to direct the follow-up troops to assemble. He estimated that the leading troops of the 23rd Division might be arriving soon, and he still had great hope if he persisted.The soaring pillar of fire formed an objective wall of fire 2 kilometers to the north of him. After the bombing was over, the burning forest illuminated the sky red. There was a regiment gathering there, and the loss was unknown.He hesitated for a moment, as it seemed too slow to send out the communicator, so he picked up the radio communicator.

"A tiger calling an antelope, can you hear me?"

The Chinese interference seems to have come to an end, the obnoxious noise has completely disappeared?

"Antelope can hear."

"How is your place? Did it explode?"

"Blown up a repair company. Lost several trucks..."
