Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 494 Beheading Again
Major Pandit rolled a few times in the howling cold wind, and then was pulled by a strong upward force. It was not his first time to skydive, and he had a lot of experience. He immediately untied his helmet and tried to judge by the terrain and landforms to find out who he was. orientation.

When parachuting, he knew that he was on the edge of the battle zone, very close to the Indian 6th Infantry Brigade below, but at this moment the wind direction suddenly changed and took him westward. Come out and throw it away, so as not to be identified by the enemy after being captured, and then tear off the armband of the 29th Squadron.

The bombing of the Kasur Mosque has always been hidden in his heart, and the Pakistanis should never forget it; the intelligence officer of the 29th Squadron once told Pandit half-jokingly that Pakistani extremist religious organizations paid a huge price to track down the bomber. The name of the pilot who destroyed the Great Mosque was shot down and captured alive as the pilots of the 29th Squadron were shot down one after another. This matter should no longer be a secret to the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Agency.If he falls into the hands of Pakistani intelligence agencies, it is hard to say that he will not be prosecuted for bombing civilian facilities.

When Zhao Lin turned and turned back, he was locked on by the enemy radar on the ground for a while, and he quickly made a move to get rid of it, destroying the enemy's radar tracking.After a few basic confrontations, the enemy's radar was thrown off. Obviously, the 6th Infantry Brigade did not have any valuable air defense weapons.

From the monitor, he saw Song Ning approaching from one side, obviously not as simple as supporting himself, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and suddenly saw the ghostly Thunderbolt 101 flashing from the mountain on the other side; he guessed that Sami This old guy also waited for his own miss to make up for the leak.

"Viper, the last enemy plane launched by No. 29 Squadron has been shot down. The enemy pilot seems to have parachuted, but they can't see it very clearly."

"All 29 invading fighters of the 6th Squadron are finished, and they may be disbanded now."

The voice of Colonel Sammy appeared on the radio, "I knew you were capable of fighting alone, and you were braver than Major Song."

"I wanted to kill a trident or an eagle, but I didn't expect a scorpion to hit the door."

"Hehe, we will meet sooner or later. I promise, none of them can escape."

Sammy inevitably had some regrets in his heart. He originally judged that the Indian pilot might be flying south at a low altitude, but he missed it. Song Ning attacked from the other side, and encountered a similar situation.

In any case, there will be no more fighting today. He suddenly noticed some new markings on the AWACS, so he looked up and looked into the distance. He saw a few flashes of light moving on the ridge of the snow-capped mountain, about 10 kilometers away, very Like a team of warplanes.

"Viper, what are those new marks displayed by the data link?"

"Colonel, don't worry about those new attack routes of Chinese cruise missiles. We just received a report that there may be missiles passing through Duan Meneam's lair from this area, but the Indians have a lot to do."

"The Eagle Squadron hasn't been dispatched lately?"

"Yes, they are left around New Delhi, probably at Bareilly airport, not much at the border."

"The Indians are running out of steam."

The colonel murmured, and then watched the two cruise missiles disappear into the mountains.

These two missiles were launched from the south of XJ. Using satellite navigation, they flew over the Siachen Glacier and bypassed the snow-capped mountains. The purpose was to attack a fortress in the Indian Northern Military Region of Srinagar. Some people judged from the satellite photos that it may be a new command department.On the surface, this attack was only to support the operations near the fort, but it also had the intention of testing the defense capabilities of western Srinagar.The S300 missiles in Srinagar are deployed to the north, and the radar at the Hexin position is also aimed at the true north, but whether the blind-supplying radar is deployed in the southwest direction, we will not know unless we try it.

The missile has been flying along the established route, fluctuating up and down, and the Indian radar network has never noticed it; although many air defense radars of the frontline troops have detected the target, some soldiers have also seen the flying missile with the naked eye. However, the Indian Army does not have a complete data link system to integrate information from all frontier nodes.

General Meneam is sitting in the command room 15 meters underground. It used to be a place where the lieutenant general felt very reliable, but since the Chinese attacked Tespur’s underground command post in Assam and succeeded, the It will start to distrust such a fixed command post. After all, the enemy can obtain key information through satellites or by buying spies.Although the command post is deep enough to deal with giant bombs, the enemy is vicious, and it is still possible to bury the people below alive by destroying exits and ventilation facilities.

At this moment, information about the situation of the war in various aspects is coming in a steady stream. Meneam has also known the news of the surrender of 10 people in Assam 40 minutes ago, and he still has not fully recovered from the shock.

Although Assam is nearly 1800 kilometers away from here, the huge failure there is actually not unrelated to the northern military region's relentless competition for resources in the past few years.

During his tenure, Pasade once assessed the threats from the north and the east, and made a 2.5:1 distribution principle for the new mountain troops. He has always opposed the competition between the military for new troops.After Pasad stepped down, it was Meneam who came up with a bad idea for Singh and urged him to replace more than half of Assam's mountain divisions with two infantry divisions to join the north. In return, the Lieutenant General supported Singh The intention of using troops against the *** Fort.

"Hey, hello, is it the 17th division? Have the bandits in Rawalpindi been cleared?" The surrounding staff officers were shouting to the phone.Meneam sat behind a desk with his eyes closed.

"What, what, it hasn't been cleaned up yet? I have nothing to say to you. Okay, just do as you say, and leave it to the special operations team. Don't meddle in it." The officer put down the phone angrily and walked to the center. will come forward.

"It's an old trick. Their armed men put on civilian clothes and hid in residential areas. The battalion directly under the 17th Division didn't dare to go in and search. The enemies inside might show up again at some point."

"They did the right thing. Let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of the dirty work. We'd better not intervene in this kind of thing. Maybe one day someone will be held accountable for the war." The lieutenant general opened his eyes slightly and said, "How is the battle outside the arsenal going?"

"It was a good fight, killing more than 2000 of them. Our anti-tank missile troops destroyed 60 enemy tanks in one day. They retreated in a chaotic manner and left a lot of supplies. However, the outflanking troops were blocked, 19 kilometers southwest The place."

The lieutenant general tried to stand up and issue some orders, but suddenly there was a huge explosion sound above his head, and the explosion shock wave was transmitted through the rigidity of the several-meter-thick concrete protective layer, which shocked Lieutenant General Meneam, and he felt a rattling in his spine. Say it.At the same time, a large amount of dust fell from the ceiling, causing dozens of people present to cough together.The emergency ventilation immediately began humming, but the humming stopped as soon as the second explosion came.Ten seconds later, the air defense sirens on the ground began to sound. Obviously, the enemy's attack completely escaped the radar network.

"What's going on? Where did you come from?" the disheartened Lieutenant General Meneam asked.

"I don't know? Is it their air force?"

"There must be another traitor who betrayed our position? Damn it, they found out after only a week of completion."

The huge concrete bunker on the ground has been destroyed by missiles, and the surrounding security forces and fire brigades quickly dispatched to remove broken bricks and rubble. According to the new rescue procedures taught by Tespur, the vents must be cleaned up quickly. There is not only one vent in the underground command room here.

The lieutenant general, dressed in white ashes, was carried out of the underground command room by the crowd, got into a car and headed to another command post.Sitting in the bumpy jeep, Meneam began to be afraid and trembling all over, not entirely because of the attack, but because he felt that the mission he shouldered was unprecedentedly heavy.

The war in Assam has just ended in India's disastrous defeat, and the attention of the Chinese will undoubtedly turn to their side. The team that planned the beheading plan of Tespur may be staring at themselves, and there will definitely be no less attacks like this in the future. Even if you have 50 people in your hands, you can't prevent the enemy from harming you.

"Draft a telegram, tell the Army Staff, and send a copy to the Ministry of Defense. The situation in the north is critical. New Delhi may be attacked by the enemy. It is recommended that General Spanga's mobile troops be withdrawn to defend the capital circle."

The so-called guarding the capital circle is nothing more than mobilizing other troops to serve as the second-line reserve force of the Northern Military Region. Of course, the words cannot be so straightforward.

"But General, with the return of Spanga's troops, the occupied areas in southern Pakistan will be lost?"

"It's New Delhi that matters, understand? It's New Delhi. Just send it."

At 8:[-] p.m. New Delhi time, the underground conference room of the prime minister's office was filled with dead silence.Prime Minister Kahan held the urgent telegram sent by Meneam to the Ministry of Defense in his hand, trembling all over, tears dripping down the telegram.

Even Chandra, the foreign minister who opposed the war, felt a little palpitation at the moment. The desperate old man in front of him was so pitiful.Finally, as Chandra expected, the war developed to a stage that was completely out of control. The Prime Minister tried to use his thin body to reverse the crisis, but this is not something that can be changed by personal will. The war competition is not only the willpower of the leader, but the actual The physical contest is more practical. Whether it is mobilization ability or industrial scale, India is at a huge disadvantage.

"Abandoning the areas we have seized, I will never allow it." The Prime Minister said in an uncommon conciliatory tone, "I have never doubted that the gods guided India through my personal will, and then guided India towards our national history. Great success that has never been achieved, in fact we are very close to such a peak. But what are the generals doing? They are trembling and panicking."

"The Americans, the whole of Europe and even Russia have acquiesced to a new South Asian pattern without Pakistan. How can the Chinese act recklessly and destroy the general tacit understanding among major powers brought about by this new order? Two months ago, I Suggesting that the Chinese go into northern Pakistan and let China, India and the United States jointly manage this hotbed of terrorism, but they rashly rejected my suggestion...for this reason, they did not hesitate to attack us."

Kahan's remarks were a little off topic and nervous at the same time, and he babbled about the matter to his old troubles.

"Prime Minister, if General Spanga's tank troops are not brought back, the enemy is likely to break through from the northern ice sheets to the plains as quickly as last time. Of course, this is only General Meneam's opinion." Singer interjected. , he naturally pulled Meneam over as a shield.

"Assam's defeat, how much have we lost?" the prime minister asked, turning around, and many participants noticed that his left hand was shaking again.

An officer stepped forward and took out the notebook from his armpit:
"The units that have been lost include the Eastern Military Region Command and the 4th Army Command directly under it. The following 2nd and 5th Mountain Divisions, the 56th and 57th Infantry Divisions, and the 4th Armored Brigade. There is also the Tispur Gendarmerie Command, Frontier Garrison Command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Joint Logistics Command of the Eastern Military Region, Strategic Missile Force Command in Assam; 4 brigades below the India-Tibet Border Special Forces; Reserve Recruitment Headquarters in Tespur, 104th, 105th, 107th Reserve National Brigade. In addition...the Army has 6 helicopter squadrons with heavy losses, plus a fighter squadron of the Air Force; in addition, there is a 23rd Division, a special force under the Army Training Command, and some Nepalese mercenary troops. A total of about 22 people."

The long list made Kahan's veins throbbing, but he had to accept the terrible fact that a military region of the Indian Army had been completely wiped out.Singh has always boasted that the defense line there is solid, and the enemy can mobilize less than 2 troops there. Now that this field has been fought, the whole world has watched India's war myth become a joke. .

What's even more frightening is that the enemy seems to have the possibility of taking advantage of India's domestic conflicts to continue to infiltrate the area west of Sigurd. India has never had a firm control over the eastern states, and various left-wing guerrilla forces have been active there. These pressures Forcing Kahan to return to reality from the pain, the short-term expansion war victory is as far away as what happened last year, and now he must start thinking about homeland defense.

"Aside from withdrawing the entire army, is there a compromise?" The Prime Minister finally regained his sanity and asked a question that returned to reality.

"The Army Staff believes that quickly dropping a few armored divisions and returning to the north of New Delhi can effectively prevent the enemy's surprise attack. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the Sigurd Corridor. The enemy may invade Bihar from here, and there Left-wing guerrillas in China have been active recently, and both Bhutan and Bangladesh have opened parts of their borders to these people in retaliation for our violation of airspace."

"These ungrateful countries, well come on. How many people are needed to strengthen the defense?"

"Temporarily select 6 divisions from the south, and another 15 reserve divisions must be armed immediately."
