Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 485
Lin Huaisheng was still thinking about Prime Minister Kahan's body. It stands to reason that in such a situation, Kahan probably wouldn't be able to hold on?However, in the past month, even Xu Jingzhe has been unable to obtain information about the physical condition of the high-level officials in India. The doctor who sold Kahan’s physical condition to European countries by email has been seized and imprisoned by Chamain’s intelligence agency. There is one less source that can be obtained through third-party channels.

In order to prove his health, Kahan would talk on TV every few days, talking about the current situation intentionally or unintentionally. Judging from his improvement, professional doctors felt that he was even better than before, but Hindustan TV The camera is very particular and does not capture the lower body, which makes it impossible for analysts to judge the actual health from the involuntary shaking of the hands.

When Lin Huaisheng was still preparing for the Jabwa assault, Xu Jingzhe once said to him, don't always expect the enemy leader to die by himself. India does not lack politicians like Kahan, and its war machine must be destroyed.

The night in New Delhi is accompanied by roaring cruise missiles. Residents have become accustomed to the life of air defense alarms accompanied by explosions in the middle of the night. These missiles will start to attack military facilities in the suburbs at about 2:30 am, but It's quite restrained, only a few sporadic missiles fly to attack military targets in the urban area every day. Of course, according to the government's report, most of the missiles flying towards the urban area were intercepted by the defense system, and only one tenth of them slipped through the net. Qian Ren didn't believe this nonsense, and moved to the south a long time ago.

The intelligence department judged that these sporadic strikes lacking tactical significance, in addition to showing off force to the Indian people in the capital, another purpose was to sort out new routes and examine India's countermeasures in various directions.These missiles appear from different mountain passes every time, and then fly on different routes. Sometimes they will deliberately look far away and go around in a circle. If the flight routes of the enemy missiles in the past two months are drawn on the map at the same time, it will be a mess. .Due to the criss-crossing mountains in the north, India’s early warning time is not rich. It must rely on the commander’s experience to predict the enemy’s missile routes. Big and cheap.Moreover, the Army Staff was surprised to find that Chinese cruise missiles are gradually improving both in terms of route complexity and real speed, obviously because New Delhi is too close, and the range of these missiles is redundant.In comparison, the Brahmos missile has not yet collected a single effective hit report at a relatively high flight speed.

In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Office on Dalhousie Street, the routine early morning meeting was going on unhurriedly. As usual, the venue was lifeless.

"The enemy's missile attack on the capital circle is currently only asking for directions, otherwise it would be difficult to explain its tactical purpose. In the next step, it is expected that they will extend this advantage to the air base in the north." Charman read unhurriedly, This is not the intelligence obtained by his department, but the opinion reported by the US side.

"The Americans are still too afraid of China. The daily missile attacks are so weak, which shows that the Chinese have reached the limit of their output. They can only concentrate on attacking the capital to intimidate the people. This is a sign of their weak national strength and decline. "

"How do you prove that the enemy's production capacity has reached its limit?" Charmain asked directly.

"Of course I have my intelligence personnel give a report. I know their production of high-grade laser gyroscopes in the first half of the year. It is not difficult to estimate the production capacity and potential. You don't need to meddle in this."

"The first half of the year? At that time they hadn't fought us yet. American intelligence showed that this month, the Chinese increased the production of cruise missiles again."

"Okay, okay," the prime minister finally said, to stop these meaningless quarrels, "needless to talk about these invisible things, how is the situation in Assam, have the generals broken through the enemy's defense line?"

"Prime Minister, the fierce battle is still going on. The 23rd Division under the command of General Moro Ghani has already exchanged fire with the enemy. At present, our two armies are only 5 kilometers apart, and the enemy is undergoing attacks from the front and back." A person standing in front of the map The lieutenant colonel reported the latest news.

"This is what they asked for. They actually want to swallow more than [-] of us. To what extent do they have to swell to come up with such a plan that violates military common sense." Singer shrugged his shoulders and sneered, smiling very unconfidently .

"According to the judgment of the Americans, the enemy airdropped 1 people. Tespur on the southern flank has about 5500 mobile troops, and General Sampani's actual combat strength is about 4. The rest The troops either have no morale or no weapons, in fact, our numerical advantage is not that great, or rather, no," Charmain said.

"Why do the Americans know about our military strength? Someone must have betrayed the information. I think this person is here." Singer shouted.

"I sometimes think," the Prime Minister interrupted Singer again, as if he was about to talk about some irrelevant topics, "if Captain Lausanne can see a chance for revenge, it would be... meaningful, after all It was a wild land."

The prime minister's words surprised everyone present, so that no one dared to answer, even Singh opened his mouth wide and dared not say anything.He felt that the Prime Minister had become a little weird after he had a stroke, and he often talked about it. If this sentence was spread and unscrupulous political opponents took advantage of it, the entire cabinet would be backlashed by the anger of nationalism. Could it be that the Prime Minister has no political common sense?
"Anyway, we have informed the international community that this traitor has become a terrorist. What he did has nothing to do with us. I think he will go after the enemy. He doesn't need to cross the mountain. The enemy is near him. He Must have seen it too."

Regardless of the embarrassment of others, the Prime Minister continued to speak on his own.

"China and the United States have joined forces on this matter. They are jointly hunting and killing Lausanne. From this point of view, it is not a good thing." The foreign minister reminded coldly.

"I never believed in Americans, they will one day pay for their short-sightedness. If India is destroyed, it's just the first domino for the free world to collapse, and they will pay for it."

After the Prime Minister finished his nervous words, he walked out of the conference room with the support of two doctors.Officials who stayed put could still hear the prime minister repeating the words in the hallway.

"Okay, he's gone, can you tell the truth." Chandra raised his legs and asked the officer who conveyed the military information directly.

"The battle lines are still stalemate, but the coordination between the inside and outside lines is not very good. At present, the enemy's first reinforcements have arrived. It is expected that by dawn, the enemy's defense line will be strengthened by 60%, and air strikes will increase by 400%. The possibility of threatening the marching formation of the 23rd Division. In other words...the 23rd Division itself is also in considerable danger; in addition, the enemy has completed the sweep of the surrounding areas of Tespur and is mastering more and more mobile forces."

"It's still early in the morning. We have enough time to carry out internal and external pincer attacks, defeat and eliminate the enemy in one go." Singer began to shout.

"Do you even know there is a time difference between here and Assam?" Chandra said contemptuously to Singh, "If your army could execute your ideas well every time, we would have hit BJ long ago. I said, when will you wake up."

Singer's face turned from white to red, and he clenched his fists tightly, but his rationality told him that the overall situation was the most important thing, and he didn't have to worry about this kind of bum who made trouble.

Lieutenant General Kunta finally stopped the offensive and began to take over all the horses and redeploy, but at this time his troops had not yet been fully assembled. In fact, when Sampany launched the attack, the rearguard troops behind were still 35 miles to the east. Kilometers away, some of them were the rearguard troops, most of them were stragglers of miscellaneous brands. These people were emaciated and ragged. They deliberately fell behind not only because they were weak, but also because such a position was not easy for Chinese planes to patronize.Although the defenders have their own risks, no one knows where the Chinese pursuit forces are currently, and no one has seen them.Maybe it was blocked by the river and pulled in the distance. It can be said that the encirclement has never really been formed.

Before dawn, the situation changed.The lingering rear guard suddenly encountered shelling from the east. The shelling was very strange. It didn't fall to the ground, but only exploded above the head, but it still shocked the troops with lax military discipline.

Although there were always drones circling overhead, which indicated some bad signs, the 331st Battalion in the rear guard deliberately delayed General Kunta's order to rush westward immediately, and stayed at the end to serve as "vigilance".They don't want to go into battle and die now. The best situation is that the troops in front will open the gap, and they will run out after them. They may be able to tear the shoes off the dead man's feet and replace them.

The shells flying from behind the mountain exploded overhead from time to time. For a time, thousands of people panicked and retreated in the dark. Some people reacted slowly and were still lying on the ground wrapped in blankets.But gradually, the officers discovered that it was not a real bombardment, and that what fell from the sky turned out to be leaflets.Several company commanders fired shots at the sky, and gradually stabilized the running soldiers.

Obviously, the pursuers from behind have arrived, and I don't know which one it is for the time being, but judging from the range of the mortar, it is only a few kilometers away, and the enemy's encirclement is almost formed.

"Sir, the Chinese are catching up, should we fight or not?" A panting company commander asked the battalion headquarters on the walkie-talkie.

"Still fighting? Are you awake? Go and pick up a few leaflets and send them to the headquarters."

Soon someone sent the mortar launch leaflet to the command post, with several fixed frequencies printed on it to communicate with the Chinese army.The battalion commander hesitated for a while, and told the subordinates to find a radio station and tune to this frequency to see what the other party wanted to say, but not to talk.He paused for a while, and reminded the people below again that they were not allowed to disclose this matter to their superiors, otherwise everyone would be shot together.

The battalion commander of the 331st Battalion was a little overwhelmed. In fact, Kunta's headquarters was also listening to the Chinese broadcast of persuading surrender on the same channel, and a large group of people crowded together to listen.

On the radio, a soldier captured at the Zayu border was accusing his former commander of withholding rations and using moldy grains fed to livestock as military rations.

"Why don't I remember this kind of thing in my army?" Kunta laughed at himself.

"It's just the enemy's propaganda trick. Our troops will never have such a thing," said a head of the 5th Mountain Division. "I don't know the situation of the 2nd Division. I heard that their quartermaster Always dirty hands and feet."

"Stop talking nonsense, we have never garrisoned the Zayu River." The officers of the Second Division immediately retorted.

"Stop arguing, let's hear what terms they offer us? Maybe we can do it with dignity..." an officer said.

"Do you want to surrender?" The officer of the Second Division became vigilant and put his hand on the holster.

"Just listen." Lieutenant General Kunta immediately smoothed things over, "It's better for them to throw leaflets than bombs."

Inside the Sichuan headquarters.The expressions of most people finally eased. The previous defensive battle only drew a blocking line to prevent the enemy from escaping westward, but the encirclement circle was not formed. Now it is all right, the troops behind have arrived all day and night, and a formation has been formed during the movement. A loose encirclement, although there are still a lot of loopholes, but judging from the weak mobility of the enemy, it is almost the same.

"Qin Donghui deserves the most credit, Lin Huaisheng... not bad, I think the situation is almost the same." The commander said, with joy and exhaustion on his face, "The enemy's momentum has been contained, and our strength will soon increase to 4 People, it will be a good thing if the 23rd Division dares to look back at that time."

"The latest weather report says that the weather will get better today. They should not dare to launch an offensive. They can launch a political offensive first. Try to disintegrate the enemy. In addition, our material supply has reached its limit." Xu Jingzhe said.

"Isn't that railway in Lin completed?"

"I don't really count on his out-of-the-ordinary ghosts. At present, the double track has not been repaired, and only one narrow-gauge railway can go. It will be repaired. The key is to repair the airport in Tespur to cure the root cause.”

"Let them try it first. The air transport capacity will soon return to the west. You know this situation. In addition, Pakistan's counterattack was not good. It failed to recover Fort ***, and suffered a lot. However, the enemy's reserves were all The transfer has been made, and the headquarters intends to use troops directly against Srinagar to destroy the largest group defending New Delhi."
