Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 523
Wang Tiechuan's troops deployed around the cave and wiped out most of the remaining enemy troops who escaped from various exits. He then counted the corpses and prisoners inside and outside the cave, and found no one whose age was similar to that of Lausanne, nor another nuclear installation.It ordered that the helicopter should immediately transport the disassembled nuclear bomb to Tespur and hand it over to the long-awaited professionals without waiting.And part of the snow wolf, with the captured prisoners, also returned to Tespur by helicopter, while the rest continued to stay where they were and searched.

The whole night of searching didn't yield much. I just found a map with the route marked in the truck and fake documents. There was even a recent password on the map. I don't know how I got it. Action, they will likely have their hands in a day or two.

Wang Tiechuan also stated during the call that the enemy has stored a total of more than 20 military vehicles of various types in this hidden soldier cave in the deep mountain. Among them, the one loaded with nuclear bombs is the same model as the Chinese military vehicle, and has undergone special camouflage. The latest Chinese army logo has been painted on it. Obviously, the enemy has not shown much during this period, but they have been secretly spying on changes in the Chinese army.

A total of 85 people were killed in the battle, and several low-ranking soldiers were captured. These people were not sent to Tespur with the Indian Internal Service personnel. After a quick interrogation, it was found that these people knew little about them. Just moved here, and have never seen Lausanne in person here, and don't know what the device is about.Their direct leader was the commander Pasang Tsering, but later this person disappeared, and it is not known whether he was killed.Pasang Tsering appears to have been a newly promoted officer after the heavy losses suffered by the rebels, and was also the commander of the ambush Indian internal affairs force.Little is known about him by the intelligence services, only one name is recorded, his role in the chess game in Lausanne is unclear, and the captives are being identified.Due to the deployment of the surrounding troops, the enemy can only be shot through night vision equipment, and there is no guarantee that no one will slip through the net, which means that Lausanne may be aware of this loss.

Wang Tiechuan made the third satellite call with Lin Huaisheng in the early hours of the morning, and reported his feelings other than intelligence. He felt that the enemy's combat effectiveness had weakened compared to before, or that its elite might have been exhausted. The personnel mainly come from the various units before the Indian-Tibetan Special Forces. Obviously, they have recently undergone an organizational merger. From all indications, the size of this enemy has been greatly reduced.

Of course, he added at the end that it cannot be considered that he has been weakened to the point of being vulnerable, or that he just hid his stronger troops in other places.

Lin Huaisheng waited anxiously for further news, one was the intelligence about Lausanne's whereabouts, and the other was the ongoing inspection of the discovered nuclear bomb to determine where Lausanne's cracking work had come.

Judging from the messy scene described by Wang Tiechuan, it seems impossible for this poorly preserved nuclear bomb to explode. The enemy's purpose may have been reduced to the point of exploding a dirty bomb.If this is the case, the general command will probably transfer him away from Assam in a few hours, and join the new front as a commander of the front army.This is what he desires most, staying here to deal with a villain is not what he wants.

However, professionals immediately gave unsatisfactory news. Although the peripheral equipment of this nuclear bomb is in harsh working conditions, the core yield controller has been cracked.

The Indian nuclear bomb only used a simple digital code to control the detonation relay, but Lausanne did not know where to find professional personnel to decipher it.Several electrification tests that have been carried out have proved that this complex detonation relay can simultaneously send detonation signals accurate to one ten-thousandth of a second to the detonators on the charge surface.In other words, another nuclear bomb should also be in a state that can be detonated at any time.

Of course, judging from Wang Tiechuan's report, the detonating equipment is also connected to the detonator on the truck, which is about a ton of explosives. It can be understood that this is the enemy's second-hand preparation.Judging from Lausanne's careful preparations, it seems that the bastard is eating the weight and is determined to make something big.

Lin Huaisheng didn't want to go to sleep, so he couldn't help worrying about another nuclear bomb in Lausanne's hand that was ready to detonate. He decided to ask Xu Jingzhe to get the "pulse bomb" no matter what, even though Xu Jingzhe had told him, When that thing is detonated with a conventional bomb, the range of effect is very small.

Just as he was in a daze, someone in the command car handed him the headset. It seemed that Xu Jingzhe was waiting for a call thousands of kilometers away.

"Teacher, I'm reporting to you. Snow Wolf's operation was a great success. The good news is that we captured an atomic bomb. The bad news is that the enemy has already cracked the detonation device. It seems that it is more likely to explode with a higher yield."

Lin Huaisheng repeated what others told him before.

"This old opponent is still well versed in the principle of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. We should have foreseen that he will not put the bet together. So far, we are still in a passive state."

"If he doesn't come out, I'll be held back by him and I won't be able to leave here." Lin took the opportunity to complain.

"This is what the above means. You should know how serious this is."

"Of course I understand."

"Listen, shrink the line of defense appropriately, and secure all the passes. He will definitely show his feet again. I have a hunch that it will be within a few days."

"within today?"

"Lausanne should have already become a frightened bird. Do you think you are the only one who is in a hurry? From my experience, he should be far more anxious than you. Maybe he will be out of his wits soon."

"By the way, teacher, there is another valuable new discovery. Snow Wolf found a road map of the area in the modified truck found in the cave. Some roads were marked with red pens, and The location and password of our line of defense."

"Since you have found this map, it is of little value to them, and it is also of no value to you. He will definitely choose another route to fight the trapped beast."

"No value at all?"

"You have been dealing with him longer than I have, and you still don't know this person? Since he didn't hide the nuclear bomb in one place, he certainly wouldn't draw all the routes on a map."

"However, most of the roads that can drive vehicles over 2 tons have been marked on that map. This is basically the same conclusion that my people have obtained after inspecting local roads these days." Lin Huaisheng was puzzled. In fact, based on India's backwardness in road construction in the Assam area, he really couldn't think of another route in Lausanne, which might carry a nuclear bomb of more than 1 ton, close to Tespur.

"It must be noted that perhaps he will not come by land."

"You can rest assured about this. Our air surveillance range is larger and more effective than the ground. If he thinks that helicopters can sneak into the prevention and control range, he has made a mistake." Lin Huaisheng said confidently, "In addition, we Several types of helicopters that may cause identification troubles have been strictly ordered not to take off recently."

What he refers to is naturally the Mi-17 and Mi-171 of the Army Aviation, because the Indian Army is also using similar models, and Lausanne and Hebei may take advantage of this loophole; However, there are still reports of being shot down, and there is no record of recovering equipment. He dare not take it lightly.And once a nuclear bomb explodes in the air, the damage effect is greater than that on the ground.

"Well, it's good to be prepared, and don't think that he will only come for Tespur."

"I understand that."

"By the way, the 'special solution' you proposed has been approved in principle by superiors. The equipment and special vehicles will arrive tomorrow. I don't know how far this thing can destroy the electronic detonation device in India; after it arrives , you can use the enemy's detonating device to arrange a test."

"Understood, although it is not foolproof, but at least there is an extra layer of insurance."

"Well, let's get down to business."

"Business?" Lin Huaisheng was startled, he thought, isn't the above thing serious?

"The chief instructed that you will not be used in the first phase of the Western Front."

"That's right, I don't need me for a frontal breakthrough." Lin replied cunningly, he had roughly guessed the intention of his superior.

"It's good for you to think so. The enemy's counterattack plan is still being interpreted. It is nothing more than a decisive battle in an area that they think will be beyond our expectations. For this reason, New Delhi is undergoing unprecedented mobilization..."

"And we're going to fight back with a plan that's even more unexpected?"

"That's right. The plan was proposed by Zhou Yaohua. He said that you know his idea about starting from Punjab."

"I know his big devious plan, but when he proposed the plan, the most ideal starting area to enter Punjab was still in the hands of the Pakistani Army, but the recent defeat of the Pakistani Army has made these areas occupied by India." Lin Huaisheng's answer. , which shows that he not only knows Zhou Yaohua's idea, but also has been studying the recent war with great concentration.

"There will be a small-scale battle to regain the starting position east of the Jellum River. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Indian side, the battle will be fully participated by the Pakistan Army."

"Then, we will directly capture Lahore, develop in depth, and wipe out the main force of India near Chandigarh with the main force, so as to end the war once and for all?"

"That's about it. You can study the battle situation first."

During the days when Lin was sticking to Quetta, he had some exchanges with Zhou Yaohua, then commander-in-chief, on the development of the battle situation in the future, so he knew Zhou's vision.Lin Huaisheng is not a command professional. He was able to lead the war on the Eastern Front mainly because he proposed a whimsical plan for air landing behind enemy lines, which was affirmed in the exercise of the Headquarters Command. Not too in-depth understanding.When Zhou Yaohua proposed this idea, he just felt that if the plan was implemented and succeeded, the threat of India in the future would be greatly weakened, and this country would most likely no longer directly border China.

"For the time being, I can only say that this is a very bold plan, and it needs a strong armored force and air force to implement it."

"Remember, Zhou Yaohua will be your deputy when you come back this time."

"clear."

At 5 o'clock in the morning on the western front, a Pakistani engineering team was secretly constructing a pontoon bridge in an area called Sohawa, 30 kilometers south of Gujar Khan.

The river bank is full of potholes and bomb craters. Four months ago, the two sides fought repeatedly here.More than ten days ago, when the Indian Army counterattacked, it passed here and easily occupied a large area of ​​Hexi while marching.However, after the victory outside the fort, they gave up the area and retreated.General Meneam had little interest in a sector that was too large to be defended, and his main attention was now on the north.

Under a bright moon, Yahini waited for the pontoon bridge to be built, and was itching to wait.Originally, he could lead the tank troops to dive there quickly, but the vehicle-mounted diving equipment of each vehicle group in the company was lost in the cruel battle. The most terrible thing is the lack of sealing rings to wrap the seats. In such a state, he didn't dare to dive into the river easily.

He just wanted to complain about his subordinates on the radio, but then he thought, his own car crew has lost all the air pipes, so it seems that he can't be too strict with other people.

"Lieutenant, when will the Chinese help us complete the submersible parts for the vehicle? We have reached the flooded area of ​​the Jhelum River, and they are available." A vehicle commander complained on the radio.

"The Chinese are not your nannies. They drop accessories by air anytime and anywhere. You'd better think about why you lost accessories while on the march, and then rely on others." He replied angrily, not because of the other party's complaints and anger, The main reason is that the other party forgot that he is already a captain.

Dozens of tanks were hiding behind the embankment, looking at the quiet river, the engineers were working unhurriedly. In the past two hours, the pontoon bridge has only extended a small distance.The engineers and soldiers didn't seem to be worried. If there was no time to repair the pontoon bridge and build a bridgehead before dawn, the Indian Army responded with an easy counterattack and knocked them into the water.

There was a sudden flash of light on the other side of the river, and Yahini, who had been standing on the fan shutters with his hand on the shielding fence, quickly craned his neck to look.That's right, that was the signal sent back by the reconnaissance team he sent out.He quickly issued an order to let them come over, and then informed the crews not to fire.

After a while, the boat crossed the [-]-meter-wide river.As soon as the soldiers landed on the shore, the commander Yahini and a group of car commanders hurriedly surrounded them to ask about the situation on the other side.

The scouts said that the invincible situation along the river mentioned by aerial reconnaissance has been confirmed. They traveled 4.5 kilometers and did not see a single Indian soldier.In addition, the scouts found residents in nearby villages and towns. The residents said that the Indian army assembled yesterday morning and ran eastward. They only saw trucks and no armored troops. The designation of the Indian army was consistent with that provided by the intelligence agency. The 14th Regiment of the 28th Division of Mu's 625th Army is an artillery unit.Judging from the wheel marks left on the ground, they indeed retreated eastward with a 152mm howitzer behind them.

"You bastard, you run pretty fast." Yahini said. In fact, he was quite thankful. He was worried about fighting the enemy under a moonlit night, so that the low-light equipment of the enemy's anti-tank missile troops would be able to see farther.
