Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 498 Meeting Again on a Narrow Road

"I think the first is our strict aerial reconnaissance, so his activities must be compressed to night, and the location must be an area covered by terrain or woods. However, India's nuclear installation is too large, which limits the means of transportation, and can only be loaded. Trucks, so most of the mountainous areas are not suitable for his passage, which will greatly reduce his space and time for activities.”

Old Ding said.Although when talking about the battle situation, it is often necessary to be lenient to the enemy, but it is also meaningful to be able to think about their difficulties from the enemy's perspective.

"What about the second?"

"Secondly, his manpower is getting smaller and smaller. The Americans reported that the previous raid by the seals killed 56 people. The snow wolves fought last night and counted 40 to 42 dead bodies, which means that they have been reimbursed within 2 days. According to the information we have obtained from the information that Lausanne asked Tespur for military supplies and air transport capacity last month, Lausanne’s troops had 2000 to 2500 people at their limit. Most of them have been wiped out by us, and some Some were lost in the internal fire. Before he shot the Indian pilot of the 51st Helicopter Squadron, there were probably 550 or so, and there should be less than 400 at this moment."

"But fewer people are less likely to be exposed. The role of satellites and drones will be offset."

"Yes, so he came up with an infiltration strategy. Now that the cars and military uniforms are ready, the next step is to get in among us and detonate the nuclear bomb." Dink reasoned.

"Then how should we deal with it?" Speaking of these, Lin Duo was inevitably a little discouraged. Originally, there were only 400 people left in Lausanne, and the threat could be completely ignored, but he had 2 nuclear bombs in his hand.

"I think there is one thing that is actually not good for the enemy, so I still have to mention it."

"Oh? Keep talking."

"This enemy force is currently south of the Brahmaputra River, and it is unlikely that they will cross the heavily fortified bridge and enter the core area of ​​​​the command headquarters."

"Can they detonate on the south bank of the river? This is no ordinary bomb."

"The General Armament Department has studied the peripheral equipment of the Indian nuclear installation seized by Shanying, as well as the technical specifications and detailed rules for the use of the launch device issued by the Strategic Forces Command, and found that this device has made harsh and complicated enhancements to the rocket launch environment. .”

"Well, it has to be, they do a poor job of miniaturization."

"The requirements of the transportation rules are also unreasonably high, which is very unfavorable for mobile deployment."

"I don't quite understand."

"That is to say, during transportation, it must be stored at a constant temperature. The shockproof index is very strict. The peripheral circuit needs to be tested every once in a while. Before detonation, it needs to go through another eleven related tests. It also needs a stable power supply system, which is the main detonation equipment. Charging, in principle, to do this, you must be accompanied by professional troops. This is not all the trouble."

"Hehe, it's interesting, what else?"

"There are flaws in the design of the neutron reflective layer, and it is easy to be damaged in areas with high humidity. In addition, Lausanne will definitely not be able to achieve constant temperature transportation. In the end, design problems and manufacturing tolerances will be magnified."

"You mean, even if it explodes, there's a chance it won't?"

"Yes, 1998% of the time it may be an insufficient one. A nuclear explosion of one or two kilotons, like the one they detonated at the test site in [-], may also be just a dirty bomb. The emergency response team sent by the superior tonight It’s here, and the equipment will arrive tomorrow morning, just in case the worst happens. Considering the vastness of the Assam area, if it’s just a dirty bomb…”

"That's what I said, but it's still the best option to kill this threat in the cradle."

Of course Lin Huaisheng knew what Lao Ding meant, but his war had ended perfectly, and he didn't want anyone to come out to sabotage it.

When he walked out of the headquarters resentfully, the dense formation of helicopters above his head was flying towards Jabuwa.

The transportation of the wounded and the first batch of captive activists has already begun, and the military struggle will gradually give way to political offensives. The intelligence agencies have formulated a complete plan to completely destroy India's already weak political organization in the Assam region. Several new landlocked countries will appear in this region at the same time, and there will be more than a dozen countries and government organizations all over Asia, Africa and Latin America in the international community, and they will immediately admit that the existence of Lausanne has always seriously threatened all plans. conduct.

After mid-November, the local land transportation will gradually be closed, and then it can only rely on the airport in the Assam region. Considering that road transportation only accounts for 11% of the total transportation volume, the chief of staff is not concerned.He quickly reviewed the experience of this battle in front of his eyes. The performance of the Indian army was not higher or lower than the original expectations. They were not vulnerable and not so tenacious, but the results were much higher than expected.If it hadn't been for New Delhi's excessive demands on his army to complete unrealistic counterattack tasks, the enemy could have used the surrounding mountains to turn the war into a war of attrition. Out of political needs, the enemy hoped to concentrate its forces for a decisive battle , which turned out to be right in his arms.

"Chief of Staff, the interrogation of the captives has resulted in several secret oil depot locations," someone rushed over excitedly with a map in hand, "one is just south of Udarguri, and it is a large oil depot, which stores at least 100 million liters of diesel oil and Gasoline, after the 4th Army headquarters fled, it left an empty city, and the troops found no fuel."

"Hurry up and send someone to control it, lest you have long nights and dreams."

He hastily made a deployment and continued to check other marked areas. One million liters of fuel is just a drop in the bucket for him, especially if he hasn't caught it yet. blow up.

"There are also several small ones, in the south."

As soon as the forest is opened, one is in the area east of Shillong, all of which are rugged mountainous terrain, covered with a large forest that is enough to make aerial reconnaissance hopeless, about 90 kilometers away from here.One of his assault troops had gone as far as that a few days ago, had retreated without encountering any resistance, and at the moment he was unable to control that far, non-key area.

"By the way, is he hiding in that area?" Lin suddenly asked a digressive question. Among the group of people behind him, only Ding Keguang could understand what he was referring to.

"He may be hiding in any area of ​​Meghalaya and Assam, but it seems that it is a little far away, which is not conducive to his actions."

"He always likes to be unexpected. Send the drone to scout a few more times to be prepared." He turned around and felt that it was not enough. "Send another company to go and check the warehouse by the way. Maybe you can find some Useful stuff."

At Bareilly Airport in India, the Su-30 fighter jets assembled on standby took off one after another and flew northwest.They were finally freed from the task of guarding the capital and went to participate in the counterattack west of Fort ***.

Major Goya's fighter plane has a long line of enemy planes drawn sporadically.As of yesterday, he shot down a total of 2 Thunderbolts (including one from Sami), 2 F16s, a J-11, a Mirage III or Mirage V, and 2 enemy helicopters and 4 cruise missiles.In the past month, he has been struggling to deal with cruise missiles flying from all kinds of tricky directions north of New Delhi. He was able to intercept one occasionally. The advantages of more range and satellite navigation, flying along different routes, are not easy to stop.During this period, the Eagle Squadron also encountered incidents where fighter planes crashed into mountains while intercepting at ultra-low altitude, and were shot down by their own air defense firepower. Fortunately, as the elite squadron with the highest priority in all of India, the Eagles still have complete combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated.

"The enemy has just rebuilt Mohammad's squadron, but intelligence believes that the unit's combat effectiveness continues to decline."

Someone on the radio was talking about the Black Spider Squadron. Usually in informal radio conversations, they used to refer to the 26th Squadron as Mohammad's Squadron, both for simplicity and out of awe of Sami.Of course, mentioning the decline in the combat effectiveness of the 26th Squadron, it can still embolden myself to some extent.

"It's not the rookies that are scary in Squadron 26, you all know that," Squadron Leader Goya took over the problem in the formation channel, "I once shot down that devil in the territory of China, but it's a pity that a single thought didn't kill him. "

Speaking of this, the major inevitably recalled the long vector loop under the interference of two J-8II fighter jets. Before he aimed at the white parachute, the plane lost too much speed, so that the sight on the HUD could not catch the falling parachute. opponent.At that moment, he was even ready to fly over desperately, to cut the old guy directly with the wings, as long as the parachute line was broken, but in the end he didn't dare to risk the parachute being sucked into the engine.After the Chinese fighter jet locked his fighter plane, he chose to turn around and leave. Now that he thinks about it, what a mistake it was. According to the obviously exaggerated propaganda of the enemy, the famous Colonel Sami has shot down more than 20 Indian planes.These include various main Indian fighters from Mirage 2000 to Su-30.

"Captain, why hasn't this old bastard been promoted?"

"I think he just wants to stay in the air and fight. He is the kind of person who was born to fight."

"Eagle, the enemy west of Fort *** is dispatched."

Someone on the ground reminded that all the pilots looked down at the monitors.Sure enough, there was a batch of about 3 enemy planes flying southward from high altitude.

"They may have a few more at low altitude, so be careful."

"clear."

Goya has studied the reports of Lion Squadron's several battles. The 26th Squadron is always divided into two waves. The less skilled ones are left at high altitude to expose them intentionally, while the other wave that takes off is delayed and secretly mobilized with the help of the terrain. The recent new tactics are likely to be specially formulated due to the fact that novices have suffered heavy losses.

"Don't be in a hurry, fly north according to the original route, and wait for the early warning aircraft to arrive."

The problem of insufficient number of early warning aircraft in India has been partially alleviated after the emergence of a large number of EMB145s. However, the radar surveillance domain of this aircraft is not very complete, and its ability to detect low-altitude targets is weaker than that of A50EI.Major Goya was going to wait for the rear AWACS to reach an area with a wider field of view. He didn't want to rush into the battle, at least he could wait for the lion to knock on the door first, while the eagle watched from the sidelines, and he could consume some fuel by the way.

The Lion Squadron was searching for enemy ground troops on the ground, and they dared not fly too low, lest the nearby enemy aircraft groups suddenly appear.After a period of fearful flight, there was nothing to be gained. We only saw our own troops marching forward on the ground, and there was no trace of the Pakistan Army.It seems that the army is exaggerating the size of the enemy who broke into the rear as usual.

While waiting for a call, the ground detected three Raiden fighter jets appearing high in the sky, and they were about to launch a surprise attack at a distance of 3 kilometers.pakistan seems to be going all out on assembling the aircraft, so that few of the rest have been seen in the north lately; intelligence confirms a steady stream of accessories from the chinese, including a new, more aggressive version of the original Chinese-made engines may not have a good lifespan, but in a war of attrition, this is not important.

The Su-30 of the Lion Squadron is not a consumable that is easy to replenish, so they must consider the air force and try to avoid close-range combat. In fact, in several close-range fights with the cheap Thunderbolt, the Su-30MKI was in most cases. Next, it doesn't have an advantage.

The Lion Squadron climbed rapidly, and their dispatch was to seize the position and launch missiles first.Statistics show that this squadron consumed the most medium-range ammunition among all the squadrons in the army, and correspondingly obtained a large number of "unknown" battle results that cannot be confirmed. According to the rules, some unverified battle results are drawn on the fighter plane with a closed dotted line.So that the lion estimated that the targets it shot down were no less than other Su-30 squadrons.

Sami has been on standby at the front-line airport and understands the situation through the data link.He didn't want to touch the Lion Squadron. The old fritters in that squadron were famous for their clean retreats, and it was not easy to catch up.Lieutenant General Islam judged from the various signs of the enemy's dispatch that today's battle will not be small, and it may be to avenge the destruction of the entire army of the Scorpion Squadron. Behind the enemy's loose lines.

"Captain Black Spider, the enemy's C-band early warning aircraft has been detected, roughly in the direction of central Kashmir, and the distance is unknown. It is moving very fast."

"clear."

Obviously, it was an EMB145I. It is said that India purchased some early warning aircraft of the same model of the Brazilian Air Force at a high price according to the supplementary terms to support the war situation.

"Poisonous snake, the enemy may come around from the north of Kashmir." Sammy saw that the early warning aircraft was still not fully in place, and it was moving too fast, as if it was rushing, or it was not here to cover the Lion Squadron.

"No such sign has been found so far. It is common for Indians' early warning aircraft to go to the wrong position."

"But I can feel it," he simply closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "This time it's an old opponent."

"I believe that every Indian squadron has a grudge against you."
