Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 516 Passive everywhere
Meneyam is well-known in the Indian Army for being good at setting up suspicious positions. Although he is different from the camp of the former chief of staff, Pasad, and often destroys each other, there is no difference in the thinking of digging deep trenches and building fortresses widely.The large number of underground fortifications he operated earlier can save his life now. Recently, his time exposed to the ground is mainly spent on moving between the various fortresses. He divided his huge command department into several parts that can stand alone. Different fortresses exchange news through the command LAN; he has always suspected that there are enemy eyes and ears around him, who may leak his itinerary, but as long as he doesn't even know where he will go the next day, then these eyes and ears will hardly be effective .The bombs dropped by the Chinese Air Force on Tespur frightened him a lot.

Early warnings showed that the enemy was on the move, but no one knew whether they were attacking targets around Leh or deeper targets.Although the Chinese Air Force cannot be said to be unmanned, the growth of its electronic jamming capabilities seems to exceed the increase in the resilience of India's ground missile forces.

The core phased array radar antenna of the S300 position on the north side of Srinagar is rotating at a low speed to adjust its orientation. After the command's long-range search radar is jammed, it cannot immediately capture the target.In a blink of an eye, the radar surveillance personnel in the command vehicle noticed that the screen began to distort, and a large number of flashing suspected targets appeared. Obviously, the enemy was carrying out frequency scanning interference. For the time being, they could only see the direction of the interference source, but could not measure the distance.The commander immediately ordered the implementation of a countermeasure plan. Three clear targets and their coordinates appeared on the Thunderbolt screen, but the targets disappeared after only a while; Targeted interference of energy; and no countermeasures will work.The enemy's jamming methods are very targeted, and adaptive cancellation cannot be adopted, and the energy is concentrated in the changing frequency band. It can be seen that he knows the S300 system well and has mastered the frequency modulation map information in a short time.The Indian commander knew that he had to make a bet now. Maybe he could follow the manual and continue to change several ways to deal with that jammer, and he was very sure that he could avoid the opponent's jamming bandwidth by adjusting the frequency agility; of course, another It may be that the enemy's hard kill method is on the way, and it happens that I can't see it now. Since the radar cannot detect the distance of the interference source, it does not seem to be an exaggeration to make such an assessment, although from experience, this is a slower area. external jammer.He hesitated for a few seconds, suppressed the impulse rationally, and ordered decisively, the radar was shut down and the power supply vehicle was separated, and the troops withdrew from the position according to the emergency procedures.

His judgment was obviously very wise. The electronic reconnaissance planes on the periphery used long-baseline detection to track the start-up radar position.And a J-75B of the 11-kilometer foreign aid force has also accurately detected the radar beam and sent an Eagle 91 on the road.The design of this missile has taken into account the need to minimize the escape time and space of the dynamic radar system. The solution is that the missile using a ramjet engine is very fast and the warhead is not small.It will probably arrive about 50 seconds after the order from the Indian commander.

As a supplement, the remaining J-11 fighter jets in the support fleet obtained the location information of the target group through the data link, which were a long-range search radar and another low-altitude search radar.According to the established strategy, they began to launch satellite-guided bombs to the approximate position. The speed of the gliding bombs is very slow and the accuracy is average. Compared with the Eagle 91 missiles, the chances are not great. However, since the cost is extremely low and based on the accuracy, it has a certain ability to disperse (a large number of launches), it can still be expected that these firepower will not be as good as the vehicles or personnel who evacuated the position in the future. This is the conclusion drawn by the troops when summarizing their experience during the Assam battle. Armor is almost a panacea method, the premise is to know the position of the enemy.

The anti-radiation missile continued to accelerate in the air and went straight to the target.At this moment, the vehicles of the Indian missile force are pouring out of their respective positions, preparing to enter the combat readiness highway for mobile transfer.As detected by the reconnaissance unit, there is a 64n6E phased-array search radar, a blind-filling radar to monitor low-altitude targets, and some auxiliary vehicles.Their movements were much slower than those of their counterparts in Assam, obviously due to the fact that they received fewer beatings, but the Chinese air force that launched the attack had all crawled through the Assam area.Because the engineering personnel who arrived earlier from the radar unit did not clean up the road near the preset position, causing potholes and unevenness, of course no problems were exposed when they entered the position, but troubles came when they evacuated urgently.

The roaring heavy missile temporarily lost its radiation source that could be tracked, but the inertial navigation system still guided it to the target. It failed to hit the target, but stuck in the muddy ground that was not full of tire tracks, but the huge warhead The explosion formed a deep crater, cutting off about half of the vehicles on the position.

When the Indian Army summed up the experience gains and losses in Assam's ground-to-air offensive and defensive battles, it emphasized the redundancy of the retreat route.However, in this season in Kashmir, it is not easy to easily open a road on the frozen soil. Many troops just preset a lot of positions, and reserve a redundant retreat route for each position, so some auxiliary vehicles and supplies The military vehicles were blocked behind and could not withdraw; seeing the bombs roaring towards the sky, falling overwhelmingly, blowing them up.Simply because it was separated from the missile launching force, the force only lost part of its radar equipment and temporarily kept its ammunition.

Another missile unit that was also on duty in eastern Srinagar also suffered strong interference, but its blinding radar could still track the location of the source of interference. Although the radar could not detect the distance of the target, it still blindly The missiles were launched in the way of attacking the source of interference in an attempt to attack the electronic jammers outside the area. These missiles are destined to fall into the valley after the fuel is exhausted, but the negative meaning is more than that. The vertical launch method quickly exposed the missiles The location of the launch site (the approximate location of the launch of the missile was found by the early warning aircraft, and the frontline Su-30 searched for the key ground).

The Chinese Air Force has practiced various countermeasures in Assam. Of course, the use of satellite-guided bombs is obviously the fastest and most cost-effective way to deal with various exposed targets on the battlefield. Sometimes the accuracy of such bombs is insufficient. It will also be transformed into the advantage of a larger fire coverage area.

Another air formation on standby quickly fired 16 500kg bombs at the target and into the preset rectangular area. Even if it could only hit a rock behind the enemy's buttocks, it was enough to scare the Indian missile forces from now on and reduce the its ability to counterattack.

Although the enemy's retreat has greatly exceeded the results of the exercise, it is still too slow. This has a major relationship with the air strikes in the area that have been tepid.When the bomb was imminent, most of the vehicles had just leveled the missiles and were withdrawing from the position one by one, when they were immediately hit.The number of sorties dispatched by the Chinese Air Force this time and the number of weapons they carried surpassed previous attacks.Of course, the most important thing is not to solve the empty position, but to destroy its hidden underground communication center.

Zheng Hui has been vigilantly aware of the surrounding situation, but did not take any active evasive measures, and approached the target completely according to the set route. The high degree of cooperation of different functional aircraft groups through early warning aircraft is the strength of his unit.The army has grown up after experiencing the battle in Assam. Although this is the same for both sides, the most experienced surface-to-air missile force of the opponent is almost completely surrounded by Tespur, and it is impossible to cause trouble in this area.

Deep in the underground bunker, General Meneam was listening carefully to the loss report after the first round of air strikes.Two independent anti-aircraft missile battalions were hit, and the long-range radar network was disturbed. The enemy even destroyed some of the radar components through soft kills, partially paralyzing the radar group.The rest of the losses are still being counted. He is used to these loss reports. It doesn't matter if there are more personnel or more equipment.

However, such a large-scale attack on air defense facilities is the first time, and it should only be a stepping stone to a formal attack. The lieutenant general can guess that the ground offensive will not last long; although it is different from the information obtained by the United States, he cannot help thinking that maybe tonight?This is what scares him.

The troops encountered by the air attack are asking for rescue and the reply of the next deployment location. The lieutenant general reminded his subordinates not to rush to give orders, maybe the enemy will measure the position of the radio communication.He knows that the enemy has unsolvable monsters like satellite-guided bombs in their hands, and they are used to throwing such things at random, just like throwing shreds of paper. It can almost replace most professional weapons and perform various low-level, high-precision air strike missions.In fact, this shameless weapon has profoundly changed the pattern of this war. Even if you are sure to intercept it with a multi-million-dollar surface-to-air missile, it must be said that the prospect of the war has been deeply hopeless up.

Unlike the judgment of the lieutenant general, the Chinese army will not launch ground operations today.As far as the air force is concerned, it still needs to use more professional methods to deal with the highest priority targets; Zheng Hui's trip is specifically to send this kind of terror, although the KAB1500 is larger and not professional.

His target was beneath a flat permafrost in northwest Srinagar.The synthetic aperture radar used by the reconnaissance satellites has been carefully combing every corner of this area, and finally found the carefully hidden ground vents and the out-of-date supporting roads near this desolate place.

From the positions of the three exposed ventilation equipment, combined with the design drawings of the underground fort that India purchased from the West, we can roughly find out the shape of the underground fortress and guess where its vital parts are.As the only pilot who has dropped such weapons, Zheng Hui's formation carried 6 KAB1500s, and came here secretly like a god of death.However, because there is no information about the depth of the underground facilities, it is impossible to guarantee the final effect of Tespur.

A week ago, this was a command post in Meneam, and now there is a communication unit staying here, as a command to connect the entire Kashmir and the Fort area, all 4 infantry divisions under the 12 armies plus logistics There is a communication hub for various arms such as army, technology and so on.

Due to the strong camouflage and the fact that the unit only used communication cables, the unit did not deploy control firepower nearby that might attract attention, because no one would think that they would be the target of the first round of heavy strikes.

A J-16 in the formation served as laser irradiation. Zheng Hui skimmed the corner of the target from the air to prevent ground fire. After entering the attack range, he dropped 2 heavy bombs; then the second plane also dropped 2 heavy bombs. It was exactly the same as last time, the only difference was that everything was quiet and there were no tracer bombs like migrating locusts all over the sky, obviously the enemy didn't know it yet.

The bomb landed on a vent in the underground communication center. Zheng Hui saw a huge arc-shaped shock wave unfold in the air, and the surrounding arbor forests instantly snapped and collapsed, followed by a fireball that soared into the sky.He thought, the people below must have suffered enough.The bomb dropped by the second plane landed at the camouflaged exit 200 meters away, which was exposed by maintenance personnel a few days ago and sawing off a nearby tree.Bombs cannot directly enter the hole covered by boulders, but directly destroy the nearby geological structure and destroy the hole.

After the third fighter plane completed the laser designation mission, it did not drop the bomb immediately. He needed to wait for the surviving people below to escape to find the possible second exit, which was not found by the satellite.

Four huge explosions successively destroyed the heavy structure of the underground headquarters. Even though these concrete buildings deep underground could theoretically withstand a nuclear attack, when the bombing was precise and powerful, the rigid structure itself might not be able to transmit energy. It suffered damage during the process, which is due to the quality problems left by the secret construction and catching up with the progress.

Fort hardtops, cracked after the first attack, were randomly knocked down by the second bomb.Bury the large-scale digital optical fiber communication facilities in the strategic communication network below, as well as the old-fashioned analog telephone exchange system.General Meneam's headquarters immediately noticed the loss of cable communication. He could no longer connect to various field communication networks through the main communication channel. The most serious problem was that the 12 infantry divisions under his jurisdiction could not be called by general.At this moment his command is receiving the Ministry of Defense: the last part of the "Thunder Punishment" plan, how to deploy if there is no communication?
