Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 624 Unable to win?

"When will the battle in Sialkot end?" Lin Huaisheng asked casually about the battle behind the staff.

"Our air force has a high dispatch rate today, and the enemy has suffered heavy losses. As of an hour ago, at least 1 people and a large amount of technical equipment have been eliminated. It should be difficult for Meneam to launch a counterattack of the same scale."

"He is a very intelligent officer, and he is very good at seizing opportunities. Of course, Span's dispatch is stronger. He is our strong enemy. Don't take it lightly."

Lin Huaisheng nodded and commented, quite official.Recently, he has always intentionally improved his evaluation of these opponents in the various written reports he submitted to his superiors, so that he can be more modest and set off his own abilities.

"Mr. Lin. Pakistan has invested in 8 newly recruited infantry regiments. These Pushitu fighters in the border areas are poorly equipped and trained, but their combat effectiveness is impressive, unlike other Pakistani army units that are easy to collapse."

"As expected."

"Is it possible to transfer some of these troops to supplement our offensive sequence, such as the battle in Dharamshala?"

"This suggestion is very good, but until the last moment, it is best not to use these people to fight in India. The military battle will soon be resolved, and then there will be a political struggle. You combat staff officers are still too young. Consider It's not enough for Zhou Xiang."

The people around nodded as if they understood.Of course they know what Lin Huaisheng is referring to. The country is screening Indian prisoners of war and then training new security forces. In the future, no matter who comes to power in India, the situation must be controlled by reliable Indians. This is the best way for China to quickly withdraw from the war Method.It is not uncommon for a victory to turn into a quagmire of hopelessness if there are political mistakes.

In fact, the Pushitu soldiers recruited by the Pakistani government in these border areas are not much different from mercenaries. They are naturally militant and have their own set of rules. Their loyalty to the secular regime is very limited. Once these people enter India , discipline will be difficult to maintain.The left-wing forces in northern India are growing rapidly. They hold very complicated views on the war aimed at overthrowing the Kahan regime. Now some of their organizations are beginning to assist the Chinese army. People’s opinions will be decided. More needs to be done. Think carefully about how they feel, not just how quickly you can win the war.

Of course, the shortage of troops brought about by the extension of the front line cannot be avoided.Although the vanguard troops are advancing rapidly all the way, strongholds such as Balembur and Saranshala are still behind and have not been resolved, which has restrained part of the troops and resources. Now the China-Pakistan joint forces in India can only be launched. The scale of the battle was half the size of the original battle, which was undoubtedly the result that Spanga expected.Spanga's army avoided the battle and retreated all the way, probably waiting for an opportunity he thought was appropriate.

The best way to replenish troops is naturally to quickly conquer Chandigarh and seize a 3.5-kilometer-long runway in the southeast of the city, so that domestic supplies can be transported by air directly across the foothills of the Himalayas to India. In addition, a rebellious guy like He Fan came here to stand alone; of course, with Spanga's shrewdness, he must be able to see this. He accumulated strength in a planned retreat, and at the same time stretched the supply of the Chinese army. Line, he can't keep retreating to New Delhi like this.Chandigarh should be the decisive battlefield in his heart.

When twilight was once again approaching the sky over the snow-capped mountains in northwestern Pakistan, a lone Air Police 2000 flew over from a height slightly higher than the mountain pass.Major General Sami had been figuring out his plan all day and waiting for the US troops to dispatch, but they didn't come all day.

The major general knew that the authority he was given was limited in time, and too many air forces were mobilized in this ambush operation, but if the enemy never took the bait, it would be bad news.Front-line ground force commanders began to complain about reduced air cover, and eventually the Chinese would convince themselves that the Americans had lost their nerve with the loss of a Silent Eagle, and reduce the number of air superiority fighters on standby; but he knew, The Americans will not stop so easily. They have been engaging in friction for several months, showing that they still have the ability to dominate the air, and do not hurt them. Such provocations will be endless. Sammy himself is a good Fighting people, so he knows how fighting people think about problems.

Right now, he can use satellite communication to talk directly with Lieutenant General Ahmed Ayyam, Commander of the Iranian Air Force. No news has come in for a whole day, and there is no news that the forward radar station has been attacked.

"Commander, the US fleet has moved along the coast. Three minutes ago, electronic warfare aircraft were dispatched to interfere with the radar network along the coast of Iran."

"These strikers have been dispatched? Inform Iran. The notification time is still too long. I need to grasp the situation seen by their radar station within 1 minute."

"Should I let the Su-35 on the airport take off?"

"Okay, take off two planes first, and the rest are on standby."

"When will the rest of the fighters be dispatched?"

"Don't worry, it won't be too late to see their tanker."

Stealth planes are not out of nowhere. The U.S. military dispatched growlers may be to cover something, of course, they may be purely suspicious soldiers. They are dispatched several times a day to interfere with Iranian coastal radars, but today is the first time.

The previous experience of Chinese fighter jets and F35 fighter jets shows that the powerful radars of a few Su-35s are still not enough to detect targets. F35 is an extremely difficult opponent. He can quickly sense the threat of the opponent's radar scan and Make reasonable adjustments, of course they are not omnidirectional stealth, and if he comes from afar, he may have some interaction with tankers or other auxiliary fighters, this is a more valuable criterion for judging.

Sami hesitated for a moment, and picked up the orange phone in hand. It is time for the Iranians to do more for themselves. It is probably not enough to use their aging ground radar network.

The 6 J-10 fighter jets that have been flying in the air quickly pressed towards the south. Although they haven't seen any targets yet, they look forward to using this rough method to disrupt the enemy's formation. Usually, when the enemy is in chaos, it is easy to expose their flaws. , Stealth aircraft pilots instinctively don't like enemy planes to go around behind them, because sometimes.They are not very clear whether the opponent can see themselves or not. The long-range radar only scans periodically and does not form a tracking beam with concentrated energy. The electronic threat analysis system on the fighter plane has no way to confirm the threat level.

The two Su-2s that had just taken off followed in formation, flying along the Suleiman Mountains that separate Pakistan from east to west, which allowed them to adapt to two directions; while there were still 35 Su-6s waiting to take off at Peshawar Airport, This is really used to deal with stealth machines that dare to go deep and take risks. Sammy hopes to play this card at the right time.

Iran’s latest radar deployed on the border was turned on one after another. Before the two Growlers came to interfere, they saw several tankers in the depths of the Arabian Sea. They were slowly turning and flying towards the Gulf of Oman, apparently returning.

Liu Zhaolin at Peshawar Airport is still waiting for the order to take off. He can get some information through the data link of the first two SU35s of the same type. They can see the growlers fleeing into the country 250 kilometers away, and sense the early warning aircraft in the direction of the ocean, but Neither of these will be primary targets, and the Naval Growler never gets too deep.He can roughly guess what kind of medicine is sold in the opponent's gourd. The last time they dispatched the stealth machine, they flicked the growler to beat the gongs and drums for an opening, which was actually a bit silly; Infiltration, of course their tactics won't be the same every time.

"White Bird, take off according to the scheduled plan, and the altitude should not exceed 2000 meters, so as not to be seen by the enemy's radar in the west." Liu Zhaolin finally got the order to attack.

"Shiratori understands."

He released the brake, pushed the throttle valve, and took off from the gunway that had been cleared for him long ago. The formation did not complete the assembly over Peshawar, which would be too easy to be seen by the watchtower early warning aircraft over Afghanistan. All six Su-6s flew east together. .As the ground forces advance in India, a blind spot for Indian radar is created in the east, which can be used to complete the build-up.

In this mission, the Air Police 2000 command plane will not fly too close to the battlefield to avoid unnecessary risks, but there is an Air Police 500 early warning aircraft to provide search in the forward area and attract the attention of the enemy.

The Air Police 500 first detected the enemy plane and confirmed it was an F15E fighter plane with the magazine open, and then saw the falling ammunition.A total of 3 planes have apparently dropped their bombs. The location of the bombs is farther than the last time. The ammunition may be joint attack munitions.

The J-10A fighter jets in the air quickly rushed over, and the enemy aircraft formation turned around and fled. The J-10 radar could intercept the rear hemisphere of the enemy aircraft at a distance of 120 kilometers, but after the enemy aircraft accelerated, they quickly opened up the distance, and the edge of the target coast was lost. The ammunition also disappeared from all radar sights as the altitude decreased, but within a minute, there should be a report.

These bombs fell on the radar station in Khuzdal again, but the efficiency of the Chinese army was not high enough. Within 60 hours, a second radar was deployed here, so the targets destroyed were very limited.

On the command plane, Sami supported his head with one hand, looking at the reported attack position on the monitor.After Khuzdal was bombed the day before yesterday, and without any radars turned on, enemy bombs were dropped on the deserted barracks.

"Feint," he said to himself.Since the dispatch of the stealth machine will inevitably lead to a big battle that is easy to alarm the opponent, then they will definitely come up with some tricks to shake things up a bit, if they will do the same.

"The Lionheart team returns to the refueling area, don't chase the Silent Eagle." He gave an order to Zhao Lin who led the team.

"The white bird searches for the target according to the predetermined plan."

"Captain Lionheart, please stay safe and stay on standby." This was an order to the Song Ning formation on standby in Multan. This is the southernmost airport that Pakistan can still control, only 60 kilometers away from the Indian army. However, as a trump card to deal with invisible targets, it is still necessary to put it in a relatively front position. Song Ning sneaked here before the early morning and hid in the aircraft fortress, so as not to be discovered by satellites and become an air strike by US stealth aircraft Target.

Six Su-6s were arranged in a 35-kilometer-wide formation and turned on the radar, like a gate that rotates along the axis, and searched from northeast to southwest.

Everything is a replica of the last battle, the main difference is that there is an extra early warning aircraft and a Su-35 dual-aircraft formation in the air.If Sami's prediction is correct, after the Silent Eagle feints, the F35 fighter jets will be dispatched. They will not attack hastily, and there must be some deeper and more important targets that need to be attacked.

Colonel Roy Hammond steered his plane carefully, keeping it on a northerly course.At the same time, he has been observing the situation on the battlefield. The sudden appearance of six Su-6s over Punjab did not surprise him. This shows that the enemy is also prepared, but he is confident that he is more prepared, and he is already familiar with stealth aircraft operations. The characteristic, as long as the scheduling is proper, the invisible party can always easily take the initiative.

"The Silent Eagle of the Condor Squad, attract the attention of the enemy, we adjust the direction to deal with the ground radar."

"Yes, the squadron leader. The Silent Eagle accelerated to 900 knots, and those fireflies couldn't catch up."

Colonel Hammond's helmet flashes a lot of lines and words, while the head-down display is mainly navigation and electronic information. Compared with the third-generation aircraft, the warning equipment of this fighter is somewhat different. It can not only indicate the approximate range of the target radar, but also From the air or the ground, or general threats, in fact, the meaning of electronic countermeasures has been expanded on this aircraft.

Whenever a potentially threatening radar scans a fighter plane, the electronic threat analysis system will assess the threat level of the opponent. Once the pulse energy increases or the scanning cycle changes, the system will remind the driver to change the heading or attitude to adapt to the radar detection, and then A series of high-pitched alarms will subside.Today's stealth machines are not the nighthawks that flew foolishly along the established routes back then. They have become aerial stalkers with ease. Half of this advantage comes from stealth, and the other half comes from information superiority.

All potential opponents of the U.S. military are upgrading the software to increase the ability of radar to identify stealth aircraft, but this also makes detection more complicated, with more false alarms, and the time left for the pilots of stealth aircraft to adapt to the opponent's radar is always It is more generous, and the computer will quickly formulate many new routes to assist the pilot to fly to the target area.

In the simulated actual combat evaluation, only those long-range radars with longer wavelengths are a potential scourge. If the opponent's fighter jets are guided by these ground radars and secretly implement outflanking, there will still be a certain chance. This requires a calm mind The commander of the formation is assessing the situation and analyzing the situation, and Colonel Hammond is such a leader.

"The fireflies are on those navy growlers again, will pass us at 40 o'clock in 9 seconds, about 65 miles, a little close, lower altitude to avoid those side E radars."

"Squadron leader, Raven is still on the original route waiting to drop the bomb."

"Let them go, those supersides are like blind quarterbacks running all over the field and will miss the Ravens very quickly. We give the Fireflies a bit of color from the side, and they get turned heads, which will Probably out of gas."

"Good idea, boss."

"Must watch out for those Iranian radars, keep 100 miles to the border, if they get too close, they can always make trouble, hell, the Naval Growler is in the wrong place again."

When the fighter plane turned around, the electronic warning prompt on the display turned orange, but then it gradually turned green for safety. The blind radar scan of the Su 35 still couldn't find any clues, and their radar pulse repetition rate and flight path had nothing to do with it. Changes, and the same goes for the soon-to-be-targeted J-10s.Apparently they came prepared, but unfortunately, engaged in a battle they could not win.
