Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 491 The End of the Scorpion Squadron

"Guess what's going on with the Indian Prime Minister right now? Is he slapping the table and scolding his mother?" The commander, uncharacteristically, asked Xu Jingzhe a non-serious question.

"Tomorrow I will have information, but even if Kahan goes down and the Congress party is replaced, they will still not be willing to swallow the bitter fruit. India will continue to struggle, at least in the west, they still hold enough bets, this No, Pakistan's defeat in this battle is too ugly."

"Pakistan probably thinks that the wall in India will fall down once it is pushed. However, recapturing Fort Fort is the highest political task. This is different from the pressure faced by the Indians. We captured Assam, but it was not India's. Crucial."

"Commander, the Northern Group has never fought before. This time we missed the first place, which is also beneficial to us. In 62, both sides fought together. This time, it won't just be a hot one with a shaved head."

"It used to be said that a war will last for 30 years, but now it seems unrealistic; the Indian Navy is still intercepting our ships on the high seas, trying to block our energy channels. The difficulty of a war is not a victory, but how to end it , how to solve political problems once and for all.”

"Well, I hope the Indian government can understand the current affairs like Lieutenant General Kunta."

At [-]:[-] p.m., the transport plane of the Chinese Air Force began to drop food to the rear of Qin Donghui's position, mainly pancakes and medicines that were urgently produced.It is expected that after nightfall, a large number of Indian troops will show up in the current controlled area and surrender their guns. An invisible burden will fall on the shoulders of China, so we must be prepared.

Qin Donghui warned the frontline troops not to relax their vigilance. In the name of surrender, there were still examples of breaking out of the encirclement and escaping in the past; one division in particular seemed to be in the wavering stage, and they should not be allowed to slip away or cause chaos.

According to the agreement, the Indian army will be scattered in various areas and surrender to different Chinese troops respectively. The designated area of ​​the second division is in the northernmost area, and the main force chasing all the way from Dawang will be responsible for monitoring.According to the assumption, all the landing sites are within the encirclement, and the Indian soldiers will build temporary prisoner-of-war camps by themselves, and the prisoner-of-war camps will also be temporarily managed by Indian military officers. The Chinese side only provides equipment and food.After the number of people and weapons are counted, further division and placement will be made.How many people and how many wounded are there in the encirclement?General Kunta himself couldn't explain it clearly. He estimated that there were 11 people. With such a large force, only by maintaining a state of siege can people feel confident.

The above method was thought up by Lin Huaisheng. He hoped to maintain a centralized encirclement and surveillance situation for the Indian army. It is certainly more beneficial to divide the prisoners of war, but that would cause the undernumbered Chinese army to be more dispersed, and there were still people outside the encirclement. There are a large number of remnants waiting for an opportunity.

He planned to use the dilapidated railway line to transport prisoners of war to Jabwa in batches after the situation stabilized, and then transport them to the country by air. In this way, the railway can be filled back and forth, and the efficiency will suddenly double. In the future, in the history of war, His pioneering work will also occupy a more important position.

It was still light at 105:[-] pm local time.The first group of Indian soldiers walked out of the forest and walked towards the Chinese army. According to the agreement, the Indian army is not allowed to destroy heavy weapons, so there are still people pushing [-]mm artillery.They no longer had enough trucks or petrol to haul the guns, and the mules suffered heavy losses, some escaped during the bombing and others were slaughtered and eaten by the famished troops.

The Chinese army is still hiding in the trenches. Soldiers observe the enemy's movements through scopes and the sights of various direct-firing weapons. The enemies come out in batches. Sitting on a stretcher.And the armed troops walked behind.Each large group of people is separated by a distance of 100 meters. There is no group of black and dense groups of about one battalion, and each battalion has a white flag waving in front of it.

The radio stations of the two sides came and went, and began to coordinate the surrender sites of the various units. The Indian troops outside the encirclement could hear it, but there was no other way but to insert curses on the same frequency.

The troops who arrived first put down their weapons and ammunition in front of the PLA positions, then retreated a certain distance, lit a bonfire and sat down. Some troops sat directly on the ground because there were no weapons to hand in.Soon the weapons in front of each company's position were piled up into hills, and various infantry firearms, rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, artillery shells, and recoilless guns were formed in several rows.Since the People's Liberation Army did not dare to send personnel to accept them directly, they were piled up in a mess.

For the first time, the Chinese command allowed British and American photographers to go to the front and set up cameras to record the surrender of the Indian army.

These war reporters were captured by Lin Huaisheng from the besieged hotel during the Tezpur battle. At that time, they were filming the fierce battle scene on the hotel balcony.After a company commander found out, he quickly surrounded the hotel, detained these people, and confiscated the equipment.They have been locked in the hotel since then, constantly protesting against the violation of interview rights and demanding to see the supreme commander.Lin Huaisheng was in a hurry to get angry at the time, and of course he had no time to take care of them. He was going to free up a helicopter and send them to the Bangladesh border. Two hours ago, when he was on the phone with Xu Jingzhe, he accidentally mentioned these people, and was immediately scolded by Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe said that these Western mouthpieces can be used to publicize this victory.There are still people who believe what the Americans say internationally. If they let the whole world know the huge scale of India's failure this time, it is enough to shake the country. In turn, the Indian people can also know the truth behind the news blockade of the Ministry of the Interior through the Internet. The truth is, this effect is far better than the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense who read the draft word by word.

Lin Huaisheng felt that what the teacher said was reasonable, so he quickly sent people to negotiate with several reporters, saying that they could be released immediately, or they could also go to the designated front to shoot under the protection of the Chinese army. The other party really chose to go to the front without thinking.The chief of staff deliberately did not tell the American and British reporters the fact that the Indian army had surrendered. He had a lot of tricks and hoped that the whole world would be surprised.

At [-] o'clock, three American journalists wearing bulletproof vests and steel helmets were sent to a high ground by a jeep. They immediately set up a satellite dish and completed the relay. It was damaged by stray bullets. At present, it can only do live voice broadcast not far away through the maritime phone.

The CNN reporter first reported to China the reason why he lost contact these days. He angrily told the country that it was because he was detained for no reason by the Chinese military. He is still surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition. let go.

Then they started the official report.

"This is Sandy Jackson on the Assam front line, 45 kilometers north of Tezpur when the position can be determined by GPS... No firefights have been seen so far. The Chinese say that the Indian offensive has been thwarted and is currently active in the east. wait……"

"Sandy, I seem to hear the sound of jets on the scene, is that so?" the Atlanta broadcast room asked.

"Yes, a large transport plane flew by at low altitude."

The cameraman's lens scanned the sky, and parachutes fell in the distance from time to time in the sky, and the sky was too dark to see clearly.

"There were no gunshots around, but the airborne was still going on. The Chinese soldiers around me were all paratroopers with expressionless faces, which can be seen from their signs."

The camera pans to a soldier, and the paratroopers turn away to keep their faces out of view.

"Yes Sandy, I saw it. This is the armband of the 15th Army of the Chinese Communist Party. We have received information about their airborne operation a few days ago. Thank you for confirming it."

"The soldiers who brutally detained me came from another army unit with tanks and armored vehicles. It can be seen that the enemy has dispatched a lot of troops in this area."

The host of the Atlanta headquarters and the reporters on the scene sang and sang through the satellite, which made the atmosphere of the live broadcast extremely tense.

As the camera moved farther into the distance, they finally saw the dark crowd moving towards their eyes. The photographer suddenly thought it was the Indians who were about to attack, but it was very suspicious not to hear the sound of gunfire.Then the reporter couldn't bear to be curious, and asked the Chinese military officer accompanying him about the situation of the battle.The officer said indifferently that there were 20 Indian troops in front of them and they were about to surrender at night, which frightened the reporter for a moment.He didn't have first-hand information, so he could only broadcast this very suspicious number live.

"Now it's raining lightly. The weather here has always been like this. I saw a large number of Indian troops approaching in the rain. In just a few days, they lost the war? This time it may be worse than in 1962. The Chinese army Fang claimed that a total of 20 people surrendered to them. But this figure has still not been verified by the Indian side.”

Regardless of whether this number has been verified or not, it has been directly released through Western propaganda media. Even if some people have doubts, no one will have any doubts about the fact that India lost a key battle.Xu Jingzhe is well versed in the way of propaganda, and exaggerating victory is an indispensable method.

Then a row of flares fell, and the photographer finally saw a large number of Indian troops moving farther away. Based on his experience of photographing the Hajj, the Indian troops he saw in front of him had a scale of 1 people. Of course, in front of the TV Audiences who lack a concept may think that there are 4 to 5 people in such a large group.

"My God, the Chinese have left thousands of wounded Indians out in the rain."

"The United Nations must intervene in acts like this."

India's Chandirga Airport has been busy with preparations, and the newly transferred tactical bomber unit is about to launch a night attack on the surrounding targets of the *** Fort.

Major Pandit has been hiding in the dormitory and pretending to be asleep. The attack plan has been drawn up long ago. He doesn't think it is necessary for him to attend the briefing.He has been hiding a short-wave radio station by his side, and is now hiding to listen to foreign news programs.Hiding the radio station is prohibited by the 29th Scorpion Squadron. However, in the past few months, with the loss of aircraft and pilots, the troops have been merged repeatedly, and the original discipline has become useless.As an officer, he thinks he has the right to know the battle situation in other battlefields, but the news blockade is just as effective in the army. He found that the recent war news has rarely mentioned the battle situation in the east. This is the part he cares about the most. He's in a bad situation.

The major slowly searched for the BBC channel.

"...The war in Assam is still going on... The current situation, the Chinese army has controlled the important town of Tespur, but the Indian army still has heavy troops in this area. I believe that the fierce fighting will continue...Indian defense A ministry spokesman said earlier today that the next few days will be the most critical moment in the region, as the shortage of supplies for the Chinese army will surface and a huge setback will follow. The spokesman also pointed out that ... India is confident Simultaneously achieve decisive victories on all battlefields..."

The news paused for a moment.

"Insert a new piece of information...Our war correspondent Albert Shaw, and local employee Miyar have just been released from detention...they have brought the latest news," the host in London was stunned for a long time, Pandit The major thought that the signal was affected by something, he held the radio and walked to the window, and the host began to speak again, "Our war correspondent stationed in Assam has just confirmed that a total of 25 Indian troops will attack the Chinese army tonight. Surrender, the commander who signed the surrender document this afternoon is Lieutenant General Moro Ghani, the commander of the [-]th Army. The reporter has seen countless weak Indian troops walking towards the Chinese army positions. He said that the inhumane attitude of the Chinese towards the wounded, It shocked him."

Lin Huaisheng thought he could control the situation, so he temporarily found a few military officers who are fluent in English to monitor the Western reporters, and at the same time told them not to initiate conversations, and when these guys got close, they would inadvertently reveal the number of Indian troops who surrendered, so they must say more.Since there was no unified arrangement for the exaggerated figures, the two-faced officers just talked nonsense.In addition, what he did not expect was that war reporters saw a large number of wounded Indians being discarded in the rain. In fact, his next step was to transfer these people to the rear hospital, but others were quick to report and reported it first. live.

"Have we lost the war?" Major Pandit dropped the radio in his hand, and he suddenly felt that it was pointless to continue the mission of attacking the fort's outskirts.

When the war started half a year ago, the Scorpion Squadron was fully loaded, and then he was shot down once, and the squadron also underwent two mergers. The sky is tearing down the east to make up for the west, and some parts are obtained from the crashed plane, which cannot guarantee flight safety at all.The major once refused to take off on the grounds that it was unsafe to fly. In order to appease him, his superior made an exception and promoted him to one level. Now, only 4 MiG 27UPGs and 4 Glorious fighters in the entire squadron can take off.
