Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 545 The Coldest Winter

With its abundant power, Thunderbolt seized the altitude advantage without any suspense. After the colonel pressed down the nose, the missile easily intercepted the target again.The target was highlighted above the falling flame bombs, and there was no way to hide.He fired all the only two PL2 missiles, and turned to visually search for the Cessna just now. If possible, he could use a string of shells to send that plane into the valley.It's a pity to carry too much fuel today and reduce the missiles, otherwise hunting would be easier.

The colonel saw the small plane fleeing close to the bare valley at a glance. If it was not white, it would not be easy to spot.

"Let me see what a big shot you are." The old man turned around and chased after him bravely. This was obviously an easy victory. The enemy's ground radar seemed to be watching a show, and he never completed tracking. The window for a second goal - albeit a bit short.

The target moved slowly on the HUD, like fish on a chopping board. He seized the time and turned his head to look behind him. The two explosions in succession were all in the area close to the enemy transport plane. The enemy plane flew eastward with thick smoke. To at least be seriously injured.When he turned his head proudly, he was surprised to see that the Cessna climbed up against him.This extraordinary move took him by surprise.Maybe the enemy saw that he had no missiles?Maybe the opponent also realized within 2 seconds that flying towards him can reduce the hit rate of the machine gun?
Rolle is using the almost suicidal tactic of increasing the relative speed to evade, of course not using his own speed, but the opponent's.

If it's just level flight, of course there is no chance of escape, the enemy can have a nearly infinite shooting window and shoot comfortably.However, this aircraft, which was sprayed in dazzling bright white and whose speed did not exceed 250 kilometers per hour, obviously had no chance. Instead, he rushed towards the enemy. Know what it's like for a high speed fighter to do machine gun fire.The captain's eyes were good, and he could see the serial number of the enemy plane. Of course, according to the internal news of the Air Force, the Black Spider Squadron Leader plane with the number 101 painted on it had been shot down many times. It was rumored that this Pakistani colonel known as a lunatic had Sometimes he will fly a J-10 fighter jet of the Lion Heart Team, and most of the time he is alone, hunting every aircraft of the Indian Air Force, from early warning aircraft to drones, all of which are his targets; the captain is not sure what he encountered today. It was that lunatic, regardless of how he was still trying to kill him after he ran out of missiles, he was likely to run into him today, and unfortunately he was driving a damn communication plane.

Sammy did not expect the enemy's abnormal movements. The instability of the plane's dive and the lack of distance made it impossible for him to set the target into the front sight. The enemy plane was like a troublesome fly, firmly stuck to the reference crosshair. On one side, he cleverly counteracted his own aiming efforts. It seems that this kind of high-level skill of cleverness and quickness is not something ordinary Indian pilots can master.Like all fighter pilots, the colonel doesn't like to slow down when diving. He must maintain high speed at all times to deal with possible surface-to-air missiles.He necessarily missed his first shot.

"It's not easy, shit." Instead of forcing fire, the colonel yaws to one side, missing a close shot to avoid hitting the Cessna.Then turned into a circle, trying to find a second chance.But the opponent slowed down to a near-stall, and then turned into a horizontal and inverted flight with a half somersault. On the surface, the movement was not smooth, but it was intentional. The pilot was delaying time to observe this side, and saw the thunder and lightning circled, trying to In the second attack, he quickly completed the roll, rushed to the ground, and completed a spiral evasion action that is rare in modern air combat.This action is obviously also targeted. Jet machine gun shooting is obviously more difficult than in World War II. The main problem is that the pointing ability of high-speed aircraft is relatively weak. The Indian pilot seems to know that the colonel is unwilling to slow down, so he can continue. Flying with twists and turns, I will accompany you to the end.

Sammy tried to aim at the target again in a twisted manner, and barely fired a string of shells, but after a hasty shot, he missed the target in a blink of an eye. The enemy's calm handling did not give him a chance to shoot in the horizontal direction. He stuck to the ground at a low speed. Flying, non-stop serpentine flight destroys the advance amount estimation.The colonel's altitude is getting lower and lower, almost turning into a chase among the mountains on all sides. For Lei Dian, the risk is increasing.The new warning sound reminded the colonel that the nearby anti-aircraft gun radar with unknown direction reappeared and was trying to keep up with his own pace. Maybe the next time he slowed down and turned, it would give the enemy a chance to fire.

Sammy couldn't continue to toss with this cunning opponent; he thought, the guy who can fly this highly strained Immelman turn is obviously not someone important, maybe just an insignificant stunt pilot?He thought again, who would use this kind of aircraft to transport important people?

With a stomach full of disbelief, he turned around and rushed towards the Fortress. This was still a feint. After all the radars were attracted by him, he successfully hid in the mountains and turned to the west again.Islam warned him not to be too ostentatious in this area, and not to let the enemy see him flying past Husab when returning home, so as not to make the enemy think he was hitting the right target. Of course, Islam did not say anything It's too straightforward.

Although Sami didn't know the advantages and disadvantages of it, when he flew over Husab several times, he could still see the tightly covered cargo on the train coming from the door. From the appearance, it seemed to be an armored vehicle, but there was no The turret, the model cannot be seen.He has seen in Quetta that the Chinese army disassembles and transports some heavy equipment and then assembles it at the destination. At first, it is to solve the problem of insufficient transport capacity of the transport aircraft, but sometimes it can also deceive enemy satellites.So he had reason to make some judgments by linking these things with the secretiveness of his superiors, and even the pontoon bridge on the Chenab River.Of course, he didn't think too deeply. For him, being able to witness the day when the Indian Air Force came to an end was the most important thing.

Captain Roll flew over the top of the mountain with nearly full-time inverted stunts, ready to approach the bare mountain at any time.After he saw the wake of his opponent flying away from a distance, he leveled up and lowered his altitude carefully.He didn't dare to be too careless, and just flew against the forest in the ravine.If the enemy continues to approach from the rear, he can use the low altitude to destroy the enemy's radar targeting.

The two pilots who came to pick up the squadron leader had already been frightened out of their wits. Even when C130 was attacked, they thought they were just spectators on the side of the battlefield. Who would have thought that the fighter jet would attack them frantically. ?

"Captain, that guy must be crazy, he's going to drive us into a hill."

"Help me keep an eye on the back and see if he's back?" Luo Er reminded, he didn't want to explain to them that he was too close to the mountains on both sides, not because he was forced, but on purpose.At this moment, I have to beware of that guy turning around, there is nothing that person can't do.

"Damn it, hasn't 16 of the 101th Squadron been wiped out? Could it be that the report is false?" He muttered softly. Judging from the madness of the enemy, he obviously didn't look like the kind of rookie described in the report with less than a few dozen flying hours. .If that guy had brought a few more missiles with him, he would definitely be in trouble today.

"Captain, should we pull up a bit, it's too dangerous to fly low like this."

"You guys don't understand, it's more dangerous to pull it up." Luo Er showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not surprised, "The army's air defense force is crazy, just now it seems to be asleep, but maybe now, it will become Get nervous, and we rush to pull up, it is definitely not the best policy."

"I see?"

"Hehe, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. It's easy for them to regard us as enemy drones."

After flying for a long time in the mountains, the plane finally landed in Chandigarh.Rolle also finally caught up with Lieutenant General Meneam's plane. They will fly to New Delhi together to participate in different parts of the same meeting. In addition, Rolle will also participate in the public meeting of the Ministry of Defense with some frontline personnel who have made military exploits. Propaganda, mainly to dispel enemy rumors about heavy losses of Indian troops.

Due to his low rank, the captain had no chance to meet the lieutenant general himself on the plane. He just sat in the rear cabin with some staff officers of the Northern Command.They easily talked about the failure of the escort of the Trident Squadron two hours ago, and the ambush of the Chinese Air Force caused the crash of a transport plane.Rolle expressed incomprehension that the lieutenant general let the secret service squadron take off at risk, because Srinagar's air supremacy had already been lost.

From the map, this attack is less than 130 kilometers away from the airspace where the C300 was attacked by the Pakistan Air Force.There are indications that if the enemy's air force intends to take off from both sides to open up the sky over Kashmir, they can do it. The number of sorties that the Indian Air Force can take off is decreasing, and the air supremacy of the entire Kashmir will gradually be lost.

As front-line combatants, they understood the seriousness of the situation well, and the conversation quickly turned sour.Meneam's command personnel believe that the enemy's ground offensive should start next year, because the latest weather report shows that the northern part of India is about to usher in the largest cold wave since the weather record, and it is difficult for the enemy to fight in such a harsh environment. Launching a large-scale offensive in the climate can be regarded as a major help from God to India in the dark. India can use this period of time to train a new reserve team.But Captain Roll’s view is more pessimistic. He is worried that the delay of the war will be more detrimental to India, because the Chinese can accumulate more materials during this period, while India cannot expand its air force and can only passively wait for changes in international politics. .

About a little earlier, Lin Huaisheng took a large transport plane, and after a tortuous route, finally flew to Sargodha Airport, which is very close to the battle lines of both sides.The plane circled the airport several times before the sun set, and the pilot made several calls to the ground to determine how to land on such a bad runway.

For the time being, only one section of the runway here can be used, and the unrepaired part is full of craters. This is the result of precision strikes by Indian long-range rockets not long ago.

When the Indian Army was at its peak, it once deployed its tornado rocket launcher to the west bank of the Chenab River, only 40 kilometers away from here. Under the guidance of drones, these firepower accurately attacked the runway here.Of course, the target they want to hit more is the Pakistani nuclear facility in Husab, but the range of the tornado is still a little short of attacking there.Of course now, with the lack of logistics, the Indian Army has already withdrawn to 60 kilometers away.

It was not the first time for Lin Huaisheng to land at such a dilapidated front-line airport. He could see a lot of Raiden fighter jets parked on both sides of the runway, and one of the Raiden fighter jets in the air even jumped in front of his transport plane to land. This aggressive style , It inevitably reminded him of the old pilot Sami he knew before, and he didn't know if it was him.These newly formed troops will be an integral part of this offensive force, and of course the Chinese Air Force will be required to join.

For the suddenness of this offensive, the transportation of most weapons is kept in a state of high secrecy, and some of them have also adopted the method of disintegrating transportation, just to prevent the road transportation and assembly of tanks from satellites of various countries observing from the air.Xu Jingzhe confessed to Lin Huaisheng that China and Pakistan have built an assembly/parking site that cannot be detected by satellites in Husab, which is heavily defended by China and Pakistan, and has accumulated a small and large ground force. strength.However, such preparations cannot be [-]% concealed like the attack on Assam. Once the tanks are assembled on the ground, the enemy will quickly notice, and there will be head-to-head battles at that time.

By the time the plane barely landed, it was already dark and snowing.Lin Huaisheng walked off the plane against the cold wind. His winter clothes were issued when he was in Assam, which seemed out of place with the desert camouflage worn by the nearby soldiers. He thought, I hope there will not be a spy hiding nearby, otherwise there may be Can guess his origin.

He hurried into an armored vehicle, surrounded by convoys, and rushed towards Husab.Soon some of his old comrades would gather at Husab to form a new command collective.Among these people, including Zhou Yaohua who has been staying in Pakistan, and some young officers who performed well in the Assam campaign, if possible, he will summon He Fan to serve as an offensive arrow, but the superior has not yet responded to this request. reply.He Fan commanded a company of mountain tanks in Assam, which was quite successful, but he once said in front of Lin Huaisheng that commanding a company was a bit of a waste of talent, and the firepower of the mountain tanks was not strong enough; A 50-ton tank that can command an armored brigade in one battle can wipe out the White Tiger Division several times.At that time, Lin Huaisheng, like everyone else, was a little disgusted with such big words, but then he thought, how can there be a soldier who does not brag, even if He Fan can do half of what he boasted, which is to wipe out the main force of Spanga Once, that's enough.
