Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 656
The first fighter saw the missile approaching at a high angle of attack. It was too late, whether it was launching interference or maneuvering away; the missile arrived in front of it in a blink of an eye, destroying the fighter plane at once, and the second missile was simply exploded. The disintegrated body attracted it, gave up the original target, and instead hit the falling wreckage, and the other Thunderbolt that followed was able to escape.

The pilot's hesitant and hasty evasive action caused the rocket launch to deviate. The rockets launched by the two thunderbolts only covered the edge of the position. Overturning a 4X23mm anti-aircraft artillery was considered a more valuable target, but those missile launch vehicles that were close together , basically unaffected.

Sammy turned back and asked the last wingman who was panicked and had no ammunition to return quickly, and he had to complete the final attack by himself, but it was difficult for a single plane to complete the process of laser target designation and bombing independently. The field of view of the indicator pod on the screen means that the enemy's anti-aircraft fire cannot be alerted. For those SAM shoulder-fired missiles that are elusive, this is a very passive situation.

The slightly shocked enemy continued to hold the passage, and they also saw the enemy's rash attack, so the commander of this Indian army became more confident. The anti-aircraft weapons on the position were still preserved, and the remaining one The enemy plane seems to be unable to play any tricks.

Sammy flew near the enemy and was immediately attacked by intensive anti-aircraft fire. He realized that it was obviously impossible to fight alone.

"Poisonous snake, I am Captain Black Spider, and I need ground laser pointers."

"Understood, communicate immediately."

Before the command plane issued an order, a tank platoon led by He Fan had rushed out of the original stop area and shifted to the side of the enemy's position. He already knew the general firepower configuration to block the enemy ahead. The range of those anti-tank missiles was about more than that of tanks. The effective range of the artillery is doubled. It is obviously not feasible to fight head-on, but he can still find a position where he can see the enemy's main position, and use the stable narrow-field optical sighting equipment and laser designator to guide the target for the aircraft.From the data link, he could see the armed equipment of nearby friendly planes, and knew that the sophisticated lead plane had two 2kg laser-guided bombs, so he could open up a way forward for himself.

In fact, the radar of the air reconnaissance plane has detected the escape direction of the enemy S300 convoy. Since the enemy is maneuvering aimlessly, Lin Huaisheng's headquarters has no effective long-range firepower to intercept it. He found that only He Fan is far away from those annoying convoys. The anti-aircraft firepower is relatively close. If those anti-aircraft firepower can gain a firm foothold, although it will not affect the big situation, it will make the air force pay a relatively high price.

The laser ranging equipment on the Indian position has been detecting the distance of the Chinese tanks moving in the distance. Not only the ranging laser and the target designating laser, but the Indians also have some laser beam-guided cornet missiles that can be launched at any time-if the enemy If within range.However, the laser jamming equipment on the Hefan chariot can self-adaptively interfere in the whole process. This system can respond quickly to the pulse-coded laser instructions, especially for those laser beams with uncomplicated codes, and can predict the next pulse. time of arrival and respond to disturbances.This makes it impossible for the opponent to get the correct number when calculating the coded pulse signal, which makes it difficult for Indian soldiers to grasp the firing distance, and He Fan always knows the distance between himself and the enemy's position.

The Indian shooter saw that the opponent circled to his side, so he could only estimate the target distance from the reticle, and then fired the old-fashioned AT5 anti-tank missiles. These missiles with a range of more than 4 kilometers could not reach He Fan at all, and they were exhausted. The fuel and wires fell to the ground.

Anxiety was spreading across the Indian position. The enemy was obviously doing something methodically. If they charged, they would definitely pay a heavy price. The plane never leaves, it keeps challenging the reaction speed of the 4 23mm anti-aircraft guns from all directions, as if it has endless fuel, every time it looks very hanging, but every time it is almost impossible to hit he.

The 3 chariots of the platoon directly under He Fan stayed in all directions to attract the attention of the enemy, but He Fan was still in the car with the best observation position to indicate the target. He roughly saw the enemy's formation, and all the launch vehicles were close together. Together, it may be necessary to share laser ranging data. They are waiting for themselves to fall into the trap. There seem to be some infantry teams on the position using unknown anti-tank weapons. He can't risk firing missiles at the enemy. It can stop at a safe distance and give instructions to the enemy's core target.

A beam of laser light that the Indians couldn't detect hit an anti-tank missile launch vehicle in the center of the enemy. This was not the target the old man in the air wanted to hit. He hoped to kill the last Shilka River anti-aircraft tank, but he couldn't Choose a target.Sami was running out of fuel, so he tried to approach from a safe high altitude, but because the laser signal was attenuated in the clouds, the bomb could not detect the laser indicator signal.He took the risk of lowering his altitude, passed over the enemy again, and kept firing infrared jamming bombs.

The enemy's anti-aircraft weapons began to fire at him, and he kept adjusting his posture to move and dodge. These shells were quite strenuous for targets at a higher altitude, and became slow and scattered. It was not difficult for the old man to dodge, and he knew that he was close to throwing bombs During the process, there will be a period of time when they will appear within the range of the enemy's Sam shoulder-fired missiles, but the time is not long. As long as they can be found in time, they can still be avoided with great confidence.

On the ground, an Indian non-commissioned officer was holding up a combined image range finder, trying to detect the distance to the target. The two shooters behind him were waiting for his command to open fire. The enemy's route this time was uncertain. Neither high nor low, neither far nor near.

Before the command to fire was issued, the J-10 fighter jet dropped the bomb, turned and sped away.

Two 2kg bombs glided to the target, instantly destroying all the enemy launch vehicles with a small distance between vehicles. Due to the light weight of the BRDM250 wheeled chariot, some of them were even overturned on the position by the air wave, and rolled a few times .

Taking advantage of the chaos in the position, a drone quietly approached and fired a laser-guided missile at the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that was still blindly shooting at the J-10 flying farther and farther, destroying this tenacious tank. .

At the same time, He Fan's infantry fighting vehicle company outflanked from the side, and the tanks assaulted from the front. No Indian army unit could withstand such a huge pressure, even if there were still some missiles on the position that could fight.The parallel 30mm machine guns of infantry fighting vehicles have become the most deterrent weapon for Indian infantry, and their efficiency in driving the enemy is far higher than that of grenades fired by 125mm tank main guns.Three strikes, five divisions and two divisions, and soon this stumbling block was wiped out by the rapidly approaching tank troops.

At the same time, the drones that rushed in front of He Fan began to chase the enemy's entire S300 troops. Although the weapons they carry are limited in power, at least they can pick up some important core targets and fire, or they can make the enemy unable to stop. , Stabilize the ground, which will also play a positive role in the war.However, the short-range air defense system accompanying the S300 operation has been counterattacking. The two armor systems that stopped and fired from time to time intercepted 10 drones that attempted to approach within 4 minutes.

Two J-2 fighter-bombers had just dropped bombs on the heads of the Indian troops on the front line. Immediately, under the command of the command plane, they marched towards the deep airspace. They did not have weapons to attack the marching S16 troops, but they could quickly use the electronic warfare pod to intercept the enemy. The radar signal of Fang’s short-range missiles was analyzed as a Russian-made armor system. The range of these short-range systems does not threaten the long-range combat J-300 fighter jets at all.

Fighter planes quickly approached and launched anti-radiation missiles. The enemy's air defense system lacked early warning from long-range warning radars, and its own battlefield radar could not identify high-altitude approaching targets. When the approaching anti-radiation missiles were seen, it was too late to evacuate the position.The two armors adopted different confrontation methods. One of them turned off the radar and attempted to escape, and the other simply launched missiles for hard interception. In the end, their fates were similar; lacking terminal guidance, they relied entirely on inertial navigation to rush to the target The anti-radiation missile still hit the first target that could not escape with great accuracy, and the second armor was unable to deal with the attack of two anti-radiation missiles at the same time, and was also destroyed.

The entire battlefield situation has entered the stage of cooperation between the Chinese and Pakistani armies and the dismemberment of the Spanga troops. The entire Spanga Group is facing disintegration. However, under the strict order of General Spanga, the Pakistani 1st Armored Division The attack is still going on relentlessly.Commander Younis' distress telegram flew to Lin Huaisheng's headquarters like snow flakes. At this moment, Lin Huaisheng's encirclement and division plan was almost completed, and the air force's tactical strikes against the enemy in one direction had also shown results. The shadow of the protracted war in the hearts of the chiefs in the rear should be swept away.For this purpose, the biggest price he can pay, or the final bottom line, is actually to sacrifice the armored division of the Pakistani army. Of course, this cannot be said.

"Mr. Lin, the telegrams from Deputy Commander Younis are sent every two minutes. His position has been compressed by three-fifths in the morning, and the loss of vital force has exceeded 2%. Like retreating."

"As long as he is still sending distress calls, it means that the combat power can still be supported. When he stops generating electricity, it is the real dangerous moment."

Lin said calmly that he also knew the role of preserving this capable force, but the enemy was indeed here to fight desperately, and almost all the artillery fire was concentrated on the Pakistanis. Due to the shrinking of the position, the enemy's intensive shelling power gradually increased. .This battle must be the cruelest and largest battle in the whole war. In the previous battles between India and Pakistan, or China and India, there has not been such a fierce battle. Usually, one side always fights quickly. It ends in a collapse that loses fighting spirit, but this time it is obviously not the case.

"Mr. Lin, the long-range rocket launcher has been reloaded, and we are requesting new instructions. Should we suppress the enemy's main attacking tank group?"

"No, no, the enemy tank group has already been killed with the Pakistani troops, and there will be accidental injuries," Lin said hesitantly, "It is better to attack the measured enemy rear artillery fire. The support task should be solved by the air force."

"Yes."

"Mr. Lin, it seems that the emergency call from Younis has stopped?"

"They won't be able to hold on?"

Lin Huaisheng finally began to really worry about Younis' fate.

At this time, the one-eyed major general Younis in the encirclement had already boarded a Khalid tank, and started shooting within one kilometer with the Indian tank that rushed forward.Crazy Indian tanks rushed over from all directions, not only tanks, but also infantry fighting vehicles, weak wheeled fighting vehicles, and even jeeps loaded with weapons appeared in the major general's field of vision.The battlefield is piled up with the wreckage of various vehicles, burning or completely burnt. On these wreckages, the battle is still going on. RPGs with white tail smoke, anti-aircraft guns firing flat-fire, Pakistan's last tank force, will The Indians stood firmly in front of the final position.

At the same time, the air forces of China and Pakistan kept shuttling overhead, throwing all the ammunition that could be dropped on the enemy's head. However, the enemy's courage and the offensive supported by the superiority of its troops still made it occupy the momentum. got the upper hand.

Zheng Hui's 5-plane formation flew over the Himalayas and finally approached the battlefield. When they took off today, each plane carried 8 tons of ordinary bombs. They were going to perform ordinary tactical support tasks, such as attacking enemy rear supply lines and supporting firepower. There are potential targets for fratricide.But after rushing to the battlefield, the command plane reassigned the task, requesting that the enemy on the front line be deployed to the most densely populated area immediately, and implement battlefield interdiction strikes. Since the Pakistani troops on the ground seem to be in the final stage, they can be counted among the air units at present. What may turn the situation around is his 40 tons of ammunition.The command hopes that he can carry out bombing in an area as close as possible to the Pakistani army, disrupting the sequence of the main Indian attacking force.

The revision of the order made the task faced by Zheng Hui's formation suddenly upgraded from a general tactical purpose to a high combat value.Of course, although the enemy has lost its air supremacy and the J-16 fighter jets can almost run across the air, it is still difficult to use ordinary bombs to carry out such accurate strikes.In particular, the command aircraft in the air cannot collect complete information on the enemy's ground deployment information. They can only make judgments about the most critical areas based on the one-sided information collected by reconnaissance aircraft scattered throughout the battlefield and the battlefield descriptions of friendly forces on the ground.The discovery and analysis of key bombing areas that can influence the battle situation must also be done by the pilots themselves. In fact, this requires the pilot of the lead plane to be able to use the operational capabilities beyond the general air force above the battlefield to make common ground commanders. Judgments can only be made through drone images, but time is too late. The major general on the drone believes that if these tasks must be entrusted to the top-ranked ace pilot of the Chinese Air Force, there should be no mistakes. The logic is not clear.

Zheng Hui quickly flew over the raging battle line while lowering his altitude to observe the battlefield. He has already learned through communication that the fiercest battle took place near the headquarters. About 2 Indian tank regiments are besieging there. Therefore, it can be said that the last resistance of the [-]st Armored Division will inevitably stop. Obviously, the ultimate goal of the enemy army is also related to this.

The state of the two armies fighting on the ground made him have to be careful, but after circling around, he quickly observed that behind the chaotic battlefield, an Indian army was forming the line of fire. Judging from the messy equipment, it seemed that it had just retreated. The troops that have come down are ready to reorganize and go into battle.
