Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 514
For Lin Huaisheng, there have been too many such investigations recently, but most of them are caused by misinterpretation of sporadic intelligence detected by the team's drones.Sometimes it is a small group of Indian troops who fled into the mountains, and sometimes it is the local militia armed forces who are sneaking around. In short, they have nothing to do with the Lausanne Group.However, due to its remoteness and lack of strategic value, Meghayala State has not been captured and is currently in a state of anarchy. The growth of various armed forces has also led to difficulties in aerial reconnaissance.From an administrative point of view, this state is still under the jurisdiction of India. After Xu Jingzhe's intelligence personnel sneaked in, they found that the surrounding area of ​​Shillong was calm. The original Indian officials seemed to be still going to work with trepidation. There were even hundreds of police forces established around the city. The vulnerable line of defense, but the jurisdiction area has shrunk to around the town.This vast area has been completely isolated from the mainland of India and has become an independent kingdom.

If it weren't for the fact that Lausanne's most likely foothold was in the southwest, Lin Huaisheng would have no time to take care of it. His superiors also hoped to use Bangladesh's influence on this Bangladeshi-majority area to solve the problem of self-control in a natural way instead of using force, but Things got complicated when Lausanne went missing.

Just when Chief of Staff Lin in the command headquarters was at a loss, two helicopters that went deep into the hinterland of Meghayalabang were flying over the mountains. Their mission was to rush to a valley 2 kilometers east of Shillong to verify that no The activities of military vehicles captured by man-machines at night, even if there is little hope, this trip must come.

The Snow Wolf members on the plane knew how dangerous the target they were chasing was, but they didn't wear protective clothing, because after a few days of exercises, they found that wearing such clothing seriously affected tactical actions, and it was even more dangerous.

Through the fog barrier in the mountains, the pilot could see a thick smoke billowing in the forest from a distance, which seemed to be wrapped in flames. Based on his experience, it looked like a military vehicle was burning, and the location was about the same as the drone discovered. 2 kilometers northeast of the place.The pilot turned his head and signaled Wang Tiechuan, who was sitting at the door of the cabin, to look there. Wang immediately made a cable drop gesture to the pilot, signaling not to get too close, in case the enemy would release their weapons.

He estimated that the distance from the fire area was about 2.5 kilometers. Within an hour, the troops could be divided into groups to cover each other and arrive in an outflanking formation, which was more certain than approaching rashly.Then about 40 soldiers and 2 military dogs quickly descended from the 2 helicopters. After the personnel disappeared in the forest that covered the sky and the sun, the helicopters headed back.

After the snow wolf landed, it headed towards the local area in two ways. One drone provided early warning in the air, and there were two follow-up drones on their way.The UAV has captured images of the burning area. There are a total of 2 military vehicles. It is initially judged that the model is the Mercedes-Benz all-terrain series used by the Indian Army; the Indian Army’s special forces are often used in small-scale mobilization, and when the artillery tows some small artillery. Car, Wang Tiechuan can see the general situation through the data link terminal. From this, he judges that at least it is not the local gangsters he encountered these days.

After 45 minutes, a team led by him had arrived at the scene, while the other team stayed on the periphery as a guard.

Judging from the scene, the burning of military vehicles was caused by an ambush, and a rocket hit the fuel tank of the last military vehicle.Military vehicles lined up, coming from Shillong from the tire tracks.There were only traces of brakes at the scene, and there was no turning action. It seemed that the ambush was going very quickly.One side of the car was covered with 7.62 and 5.56 mm bullet holes, all the windows were broken, and blood and brains remained on the seats.It roughly explained the direction of the ambushers. They did not use crossfire from both sides to block the Indian military vehicles passing through the mountains and forests. They were obviously sure of their own firepower, and their colleagues also wanted to prevent accidental injury; the snipers should hide in the trees 60 meters away. On, the driver was eliminated in the first place.The whole scene looked one-sided, like a massacre. There were only bloodstains and no shell casings near the truck, indicating that the people on board had not had time to fight back, and no bodies were found at the scene; a lot of 5.56mm bullet casings were found in the woods, which were obviously left by the attackers. of.India can fire such ammunition mainly Insass and Tavor type automatic rifles.Wang Tiechuan picked up a shell and found that it was a little short. He carefully identified it as a special 5.56X30 ammunition, which was obviously fired by a compact Tavor 21 assault rifle used in special operations. Only Indian-Tibetan special forces have been found equipped with this weapon, but it is not commonly used.The snipers used common Soviet-made precision rifles.

A series of clues, and the final direction, made Wang Tiechuan's heart tremble. He knew that although all the clues that had been invested in the investigation before were cut off, there must be a door today.According to Lausanne's habit, he would not bury the corpse too far, so he could just use military dogs to find it.The military dogs brought by the snow wolf team came in handy. They sniffed the blood and found the corpse pit 70 meters away. Inside, they found layers of corpses of Indian internal affairs troops. There were about 20 of them. There is no identity document, but it is known that these people are left behind by the Indian military to carry out guerrilla warfare. They have fought against the People's Liberation Army before, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.

The basic fact is that Lausanne ambushed this army for some unknown purpose; killing people should not be his main purpose, he must want to snatch something from this group of internal affairs troops .Of course, this is not the first time that the Lausanne troops have engaged in cannibalism against the Indian army. The last time it was to seize the nuclear bomb, but what is it for this time?
Naturally, Wang Tiechuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately contacted the rear, and rescued Lin Huaisheng who was in a daze.Lin Huaisheng immediately judged that this clue was valuable, and he should follow the trace to catch up.However, Wang Tiechuan also put forward his other views at the same time. Military dogs may be able to track the scent left by the enemy, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a trap; Therefore, why the suspicious guy uses the special ammunition that reveals his identity is a problem. In addition, the burning military vehicle seems to have been hit by a 40mm rocket. The firepower seems to be a bit redundant, and the burning smoke can easily attract air For reconnaissance, Lausanne should know this truth, but he failed to put out the fire.Wang Tiechuan didn't want his discovery to cause mistakes in the decision-making of his superiors, so that he himself would be indirectly used by Lausanne, so he had to clarify all doubts about the matter as soon as possible.

Lin Huaisheng naturally felt that something was wrong, but he suddenly had clues and directions, so of course he could not let go. He immediately ordered Wang Tiechuan to investigate, and additionally sent drones to conduct continuous reconnaissance over the area. The direction of land defense.

The Snow Wolf troop has always been a master of jungle tracking, and soon found clues on the ground, and then plunged into the dense forest.There are not many traces left by the enemy along the way, but some can always be found, including discarded tourniquets and bloodstains splashed on the leaves. These can make the snow wolf with military dogs track more smoothly. However, according to Wang Tiechuan's previous judgment on the ambush battlefield, Lausanne's troops should have subdued the opponent in an instant, and it seemed that no one was injured.The terrain on this road has become more and more rugged, and the continuous forest has no end. The drone detected 50 kilometers ahead, and there was no road for driving. This made Wang Tiechuan feel that Lausanne chose to hide in such an area, or he would give up. Revenge, planning to go into seclusion, or just a secondary hideout?
At night, the tracking finally found something. The superior night vision equipment enabled the wild wolf to discover the enemies hiding in the trees in advance. The vanguard saw 2 enemies wearing night vision goggles, climbing from the hidden tree shed Coming down from the vines, it was obvious that the rearguard troops deployed on the trail were retreating alternately one by one. If they took a few more steps, they might be spotted by the enemy first.Snow Wolf didn't dare to be negligent, so he temporarily gave up advancing, handed it over to the drone using the thermal imager to continue tracking, and moved far enough away before moving forward.They further judged from the footprints left by the enemy. Two people in the brigade walked with unusually heavy steps, and their footprints overlapped and were always parallel. It seemed that they had been carrying a stretcher across the mountains.

Wang Tiechuan has seen the Indian-Tibetan special forces abandon the wounded. Sometimes the seriously wounded will stay on their own for desperate blocking missions without dragging others down. These desperadoes often leave their last-minute bullets or grenades for themselves, so he has reason I believe that there must be an important goal that cannot be given up that has been seriously injured. Could it be Lausanne himself?He reported the situation to the headquarters, but did not put forward his own opinion. To be on the safe side, it is better to leave the judgment to Lin Huaisheng himself.

In the underground conference room in New Delhi, the routine meeting of the day was held as usual, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing as usual. The only difference was that the foreign minister had returned.For an hour, Chandra had been gushing about the harsh fire conditions brought in from BJ, as if he had found a straw for a drowning man.Although he failed to meet any high-level officials at his door this time, the Chinese leadership also sent him a memorandum indicating their reaction to India's aggressive proposal.

First of all, the Chinese expressed their eager expectation for a quick ceasefire (at least in words). They believed that India’s joint troop withdrawal plan was of some constructive significance, but they did not agree to include the so-called Arunachal Pradesh in the agenda, even if It is the initial contact, and this area cannot be discussed. Of course, this is below India's bottom line; given that the Chinese army has firmly controlled that area, Chandra believes that from this reaction, it can be seen that the Chinese The request is more pragmatic, not like a hypocritical delay.Singer rolled his eyes in return, surprised by Chandra's ability to read kindness from the most vicious words.

It’s not that Chandra didn’t pay attention to Singh’s or Kahan’s ugly expressions, but he must seize the opportunity to further elaborate his views. He believes that if we proceed from the serious situation facing the country, we are now discussing the issue of the end of the war, such as from Pakistan. It is not feasible to withdraw troops in exchange for most of Assam.

Faced with such blatant capitulationist clamor, Singer couldn't help but stood up and resolutely refuted it. He reminded Chandra that the purpose of this negotiation was to confuse the enemy and delay time. He should know this, so he didn't It is necessary to bother to consider whether the enemy has any good intentions.After Chandra sat down, although many officials around him thought it was reasonable, no one dared to publicly support it. This is obviously a politically incorrect statement.So the meeting automatically entered the next stage-intelligence summary.

Due to the deepening of the US intelligence community, a large amount of intelligence pours in every day. At present, Chamain's intelligence report in the War Cabinet has changed from routinely every two days to once a day, and sometimes he has to report to the Prime Minister alone in the morning. The latest information collected in the United States.After his report, there will be a special agenda item, which will be discussed by Singh about the Ministry of Defense's counteroffensive plan in the north; that is the highlight of the meeting tonight.

Charman first cautiously supported Singer's view. He believed that the Chinese were at the height of their military power and would not have any sincerity to talk about an armistice. If they wanted to talk about it, it would be after their offensive in the north suffered setbacks. This was also the view of the Americans.

The intelligence agency has recently benefited a lot from the intelligence cooperation with the United States. The Americans judged from the deployment of the Chinese in the depths of the Western Front that this battle is inevitable. They have provided similar opinions to India through many channels, as if I am afraid that India will be intoxicated by the Chinese at the critical moment when the war is approaching, and it will be like slacking off by itself.

The U.S. judged that the Chinese army would break into Kashmir from several starting positions in the north within a week, and then deploy its troops to launch a powerful offensive that India has never encountered before.The CIA has always been in control of the whole process. India secretly sent high-level officials to BJ for diplomatic probing. They were very worried that the Indian government would be deceived by the CCP, so they frankly hoped to establish an intelligence contact directly with the military command headquarters defending the north. However, this idea was rejected by Xin. Grid rejected it.

Judging from the photos taken by satellites, the military situation is already on the verge of an arrow. The enemy may invest about 15 to 18 troops and about [-] tanks. This is the limit of their logistical decision.In addition, judging from the intercepted Pakistani internal communication records, senior Pakistani officials are recently discussing how to effectively govern the issue if an independent region can be divided from Punjab, India, and occupied as geopolitical containment or war compensation. .If they hadn't got some kind of hint from China, they probably wouldn't have such extravagant expectations.
