Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 486 Victory Reunion
In front of the blockade position in the south of Rawalpindi, Indian tanks and trucks were parked in a haphazard manner. Several tanks that have been maneuvering in this area have been intercepting Indian infantry who want to go north from here for the past 2 days. The area is already alone, and the other troops around have already collapsed, and the fortified battle against Rawalpindi and *** Fort behind them has failed.

The battle fell into a stalemate near the national arsenal on the western outskirts of Rawalpindi. Lieutenant General Meneyam guessed that the Pakistani Army was deliberately trying to recapture the arsenal, and deliberately narrowed the front to fight here. Taking advantage of the concentration of troops and condescending advantages, they fought repeatedly. In the end, the insufficiently trained Pakistani army could not support it at first; and the Indian roundabout troops rushing from the direction of Gujarat in the south suddenly appeared, and when they were attacked from both sides, a large number of Pakistani troops immediately lost their organization and began to collapse westward to protect their flanking allies. Seeing that the situation was not good, the neighboring troops gave up their positions and retreated before fighting.Now, only the synthetic battalion directly under Yahini is here to handle the pass, which protrudes about 4.5 kilometers from the front line. This can no longer restore the disadvantage, but it is just to buy time for the troops behind to escape into the mountains.This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing. In the big rout in southern Balochistan, he also stayed at the end of the rout as a cover until all the tanks were lost.It is said that the tank with dozens of white circles painted on its gun barrel was brought back to China by India as a propaganda material for the victory of the Southern War. They probably didn't know the meaning of those circles.

Rumors have been circulating in the army that the Chinese army is about to open up a battlefield in Kashmir. As a result, Meneam will have to shrink back, and may even voluntarily abandon the fort.This is also a reason why the officers are unwilling to use their lives: Since the Chinese can sweep India, why bother to work too hard; but Yahini knows that things are not so simple, there are at least two groups in India that are very powerful, and Meneyam's 2, plus 50 in Spanga plus 15 tanks.

Behind the mountains, the Indian troops from Gujrat are being mobilized. Aki, you urgently need a detailed reconnaissance report. The reconnaissance company of the regiment headquarters has sent some people to reconnaissance in jeeps, but it is expected that they will not be able to penetrate too much. So he is looking forward to the air force being able to conduct a condescending reconnaissance.

At the same time, the Pakistan Air Force overhead has been fighting tenaciously, preventing Indian Air Force fighters and helicopters from approaching this prominent position.The Indian armed helicopters have been trying to use the cover of the mountain to sneak up on the sneak attack, but they were all seen through and defeated by the air force; one night, Yahini had ordered the attached infantry to dispatch several times, except for rescuing a young pilot who had parachuted , At the same time captured 2 Indian pilots.After the interrogation of punching and kicking at the regiment headquarters, the Indian pilot said that the troops behind had 2 divisions, plus an independent armored regiment, and they would launch an offensive at any time.Then the pilot continued to confess that the protruding fortress here blocked the reinforcements that Meneam brought in from the south, making it impossible to encircle the slow-moving main force of the first group.The Indian general was probably a little angry, so they dispatched the Su-30 Squadron and helicopter units including the latest Apache Squadron.The pilot went on to say that he had not seen the Apache squadron, but it was mentioned in the mission briefing that special attention should be paid to identifying the possible Apache helicopters of his own side on the battlefield.

This news really frightened Yahini who was present at the time. He hurried back from the second line by car, but the enemy did not launch an attack.Maybe Indian pilots are just bragging?

Looking up, the clouds in the east have gradually brightened, and the fighter plane whizzing by in the sky showed blue light. He knew that it was his own Thunder fighter plane, which was specially designed to fight against the enemy's air superiority.

Sami had just rushed to the battlefield, and immediately hovered at low altitude, ready to defend or reconnaissance according to the command of the command plane.This is his second visit here within 8 hours.The ground troops are very worried about the enemy helicopters that suddenly appear from the mountain pass, and the Indian jet fighters and helicopters always appear together. Although there is no coordinated protection, at least they can arrive at the same time.The colonel has some new team members who are taking turns to guard at high altitude. The rear airport is only 110 kilometers away, so the time spent in the air is enough for him.

"Captain Black Spider, this is a poisonous snake, the commander wants to talk to you."

Sami knew that the commander was Lieutenant General Islam—he had just been promoted to the military rank three days ago, and this promotion was for him to replace the former Chief of Staff of the Air Force who suffered a sudden myocardial infarction in an unfavorable battle situation.Therefore, the military rank cannot be exposed during the command, so as not to be monitored by the Indian electronic reconnaissance plane.

"Here I am, preparing to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy behind the mountain."

"Well, let me tell you some good news first," the lieutenant general couldn't hide his excitement on the early warning plane 90 kilometers away, "I just got the news that more than [-] Indians were surrounded in the east yesterday."

In the voice communication, there are generally few people who report news that has nothing to do with the theater, which shows how excited the lieutenant general was when he got the news.Recently, he has been in good spirits. Even though the attack on Fortress was a mess, it has nothing to do with his upcoming appointment. The unfortunate sudden death of his superior is always beneficial to him.

"It's a pity that we suffered a big defeat here. During the day, I saw the army throwing equipment all over the hillside. At that time, the Indians were still 10 kilometers away."

"The Indians are at the end of their battles, and maybe they are about to collapse. Maybe we can recover Kashmir completely... maybe we can also seize a piece of territory in western Punjab."

Sami sneered, the lieutenant general really thought very long-term, and didn't expect to rely on his own army to win the victory.Of course, once the most important player in this war decides to join, India, which has always boasted itself as a powerful country, is obviously not in the same order of magnitude.But even if victory is in sight, the colonel still has his own calculations. He hopes to shoot down more enemy planes, and he still has some grievances to settle.

"Gujarat direction, Su-30!" Another voice on the early warning aircraft reminded.

"receive."

"Looking at the direction, it's probably the Lion Squadron, and there was a record of being dispatched yesterday."

"It's them that fly in formation, I guess."

On the display, three Su-3s are approaching at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, with an altitude of 600 meters and a distance of 5000 kilometers, and they are still within the Indian border.Judging from this slow speed, it seems to be a cowardly lion squadron.

"Black Spider 2, you seize the altitude advantage, and then fire at the maximum distance. Drive them away."

"clear."

The colonel didn't expect these novices, who were not good at taking off and landing, to be able to shoot down experienced lions. Launching medium-range bombs from a long distance might be the most effective countermeasure.At least dozens of kilometers away, it is not easy for the enemy to see any flaws from the radar. Even the Lion Squadron, if they find that their opponents are a group of fledgling guys, it will inevitably inspire their fighting spirit.

The three Raiden fighters quickly climbed up, preparing to attack first at an advantageous height and speed. In fact, this is not a typical Raiden style of play, but they cannot be expected to be able to sneak attack at low altitudes and long distances, at least not before dawn.

The colonel didn't climb, he had no interest in the one-hit-and-run Lion Squadron, so he continued to monitor the nearby mountains in case enemy helicopters were stalking him. He heard that the Indian Apaches were ready for battle and wanted to add more A new record.A few hours ago, he had already shot down an LCH helicopter that was attacking the tank position. He watched the smoking helicopter forcefully landed on the hillside. He wanted to get close to killing the two limping pilots with the machine gun. Human shoulder missiles harassed a bit.

Thunderbolt 101 flew over the mountains at low altitude, deliberately attracting hidden Indian air defense weapons to use radar. Indians marching in the mountains are not easy to be spotted by reconnaissance planes, but if they rush to counterattack, they will be exposed.

Sure enough, there was an illumination radar aimed at him. He stared carefully at the Electronic Tactical Threat Display (MPCD). Within about two seconds, he found three artillery radars either searching or tracking. Apparently there were several fixed positions on the hilltop on duty. There is a column.He turned around a hill and easily got rid of the radar. At the same time, he saw the densely packed lights of military vehicles forming a long line. This is a new marching route that has not been recorded. Obviously, he still needs to outflank the final defensive position.

The colonel thought to himself that General Islam was too optimistic, the enemy was still very powerful.If Meneyam quickly resolves the battle and shrinks back, the Chinese army assembled in Aksai Chin may not dare to move him, after all, he holds the world's largest army group in his hands.

"Viper, I saw the new column of the Indian army, about 200 military vehicles, on the south side of Highway 14, you can't see it from your angle. I didn't see the tanks, and I didn't see the artillery. Maybe they were lying in other ravines. "

"Snake knows, keep an eye out for enemy helicopters."

"clear."

The radar quickly captured the suspicious target on the mountain pass, but the target flashed by and disappeared.Either a low-flying fighter plane, or a laterally moving helicopter.If it is a helicopter, under such light, it is not easy to knock down.

At this time, the battle at an altitude of 8000 meters has already begun. The Thunder fighters used an unusual method of launching medium-range bombs in formation to attack the Su-30 in front. Strong vision, always able to seize the opportunity, and launched a round of missiles first.Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party accelerated and fled.

While observing the operations of other pilots through the data link, the colonel paid attention to various movements in the mountainous area. In fact, he was now in the clear, and the enemy below might launch anti-aircraft missiles to attack him at any time. He lacked a wingman to remind him at any time. Just keep an eye on what's going on below.

A rising sun finally jumped out of the horizon, and the reflection of the helicopter canopy exposed it again, and the colonel saw clearly that it was a Mi-35, which was not bad.

He drove the fighter plane up and made a big circle, preparing to hide in the blind spot behind the enemy pilot.The enemy's self-propelled anti-aircraft guns deployed in the valley rely on passive TV aiming and attack the thunder and lightning.The attack disrupted the colonel's plans, and he was forced to swerve to disrupt the continuous angle measurement of the enemy's optical director.Then flew to 2000 meters in the air, made a somersault, and continued to search for the helicopter.The enemy artillery switched to the search radar, and it was estimated that it was a Laura hiding in the valley.The colonel's radar was the first to aim at the Mi-35 that was desperately lowering its altitude. During this period, the anti-aircraft gun never used the radar to illuminate it, and the turret was probably still rotating.He heard that if these tanks were parked on uneven ground, the turrets would turn slower.

The seekers of the two PL2 missiles follow the radar to indicate the target, and stare at the target firmly. Even if the opponent temporarily evades the radar by hovering, the missile has already searched for the heat source 8 kilometers away.After Sami launched the missile, he immediately pulled up to avoid the anti-aircraft guns. He couldn't remember how many times he used this dangerous time difference to hit low-altitude targets. In fact, he was completely immersed in this dangerous game.

As he looked back, ammunition from enemy artillery exploded behind him, blocking his view with barrage and smoke.I don't know if I hit it or not.He reported while dodging and shot down another enemy helicopter.

On the Assam battlefield more than 2000 kilometers away, it finally entered a morning without shell explosions.The Chinese army informed the immobile enemies in the encirclement by radio that they had one morning to decide their future.The leaflets scattered in the sky were accurately dropped on the assembly areas of various Indian troops, which shows that the Chinese Air Force is strengthening its reconnaissance efforts in this area.In the future, air strikes will inevitably become more and more accurate.During this period, the Indian army did not move much, but Lin Huaisheng's troops finally climbed out of the mud under the sun, and after about 7 hours of the original plan, they joined up with Qin Donghui's troops to complete the weak areas.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Lin Huaisheng and the command staff took three helicopters and landed on the temporary takeoff and landing field behind Qin Donghui's headquarters.

Major General Qin and a large group of people have been waiting for a long time.The two had never met before, but recognized each other in the crowd at the same time.Qin's staff officer saw the major general rushing up to meet him, and hurriedly followed behind, fearing that the division commander would do something surprising, because he had said many times that he wanted to slap Lin Huaisheng.

In the end, the four big hands held each other vigorously.

"Chief of Staff, I'm looking forward to you."

"You fought well, blocking so many enemies."

"Where, it's not that the brother troops are strong on the flanks."

"The first achievement this time must be yours..."

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, the staff officers of both sides dispersed a little.Lin Huaisheng and Qin Donghui went to the headquarters together to study the next part of the plan.At this time, the leading troops of the 23rd Division, which had been actively rescuing, had already retreated 10 kilometers away. The main force stopped to wait and see 20 kilometers away.Since they have missed the best opportunity, they should not be able to make a big wave.
