Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 660
In the sound of the explosion, a piece of flesh and blood flew, not just infantry. The sword-shaped fragments of the 125mm grenade also have a strong penetration ability against lightly armored targets. The BTR1 tanks were also destroyed and stopped.

He Fan saw from the peripheral vision mirror that after the first round of blows, the Indians' loose skirmish line stopped suddenly, and all the infantry fell to the ground. Obviously, they also knew that they were afraid.At the same time, he saw explosions in the enemy convoy behind, all of which were trucks towing artillery or loading supplies. The only armored regiment of the 26th Mechanized Infantry Division, after being merged by Spanga to the [-]st Armored Division with heavy losses, the unit had no heavy armored vehicles, and was actually downgraded to a motorized infantry, so during the offensive Behaving less aggressively.

"Don't waste ammo hitting trucks and shooting crowds near infantry."

He asked the troops to adjust the focus of their shooting. At this time, the Pakistani paratroopers on the surface positions also began to shoot, and their methods were lackluster, only medium-caliber mortars.

"Commander, our frontal defense is not enough, the infantry will bypass us from the west." A company commander reminded on the radio.

"Don't worry, the Robot Company will stop them."

At this moment, the machine infantry company is still clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the rear, unable to make a move. It is still unknown whether an airborne battalion of 800 people can stop more than 1 infantry.

He Fan also had some doubts. According to his common sense, if some Indian infantry went around to the back, they would probably flee south to New Delhi, but he couldn't guarantee that the enemy would not outflank his position.He asked his superiors for artillery support, but he did not get a clear answer, but he got 2 messages.The good news is that the White Tiger Division has been defeated under Wang Zhenbei's blow, and the bad news is that the pressure on their side will inevitably increase.

He can see various units near him from the battlefield intelligence system. The closest to him is an independent combat tank group in Pakistan approaching him. Notch, there are 21 tanks in this group, he has already guessed who is in command, it seems that he will finally meet this guy for a while.

At Chandigarh Airport, the fighter jets were loaded with bombs, and they took off in the interval between the take-off and landing of the transport plane. Some of them took off for the second time today, even Sami's J-10A.This kind of aircraft is not capable of attacking the ground, but according to intelligence, the Indian Air Force's last fight will be launched at a certain moment today, so air combat has become valuable again. The Indian Air Force did not dispatch it in the morning, and it seems to have missed it. It is the best chance to solve the troops inside the Pakistan encirclement, but it does not mean that they will not appear today.Of course, for Sami, the nature of air combat has undergone some changes. The scope of the Indian Air Force’s possible tactical support is already completely within the range of an S400 with an amazing range, and even if the Indians can detect the position of the main radar position of the missile , but unable to solve it. In fact, this is probably the reason why the Indian Air Force is afraid to fight.Now for Sami and his young pilots, the main threat comes from the ground. The Indians still maintain a large number of short- and medium-range air defense systems, and have formed information sharing with New Delhi's outer air defense circle alert radar network (Spanja The retreat of the two parts of the air defense forces gradually merged), in the hands of experienced commanders, the skill of grasping the timing of the guidance radar start-up will pose a serious threat to the bombing fighter jets, and the young pilot who lost Sami early in the morning They were all shot down by some simple ground air defense systems such as 23mm anti-aircraft guns.

He took off with 4 missiles and 2 cluster bombs. The task was to support the already formed blocking defense line. The take-off briefing was very brief. The general situation was that a battalion of Pakistani paratroopers was preventing a division of Indian troops from escaping. The content of the report will make people think that a fool who does not understand the comparison of military forces is commanding the battle. In fact, Lin Huaisheng also counted the air force stationed at Chandigarh Airport that he can directly command. His information on the Indian 26th Division The mastery may be no less than that of Spanga. He knows what the combat effectiveness of this light infantry division is. On the entire front, the division has always been a miscellaneous role, so he decided to rely on the tactical air force to perform such a task of turning the tide of the battle.As for the rest of the Indian army in the follow-up, his main attacking force is pursuing and dividing in motion. If Spanga can't suddenly play new tricks or conjure up a reserve team like a conjuring, most of the exhausted Indian troops , should be crushed in some unsupported areas in progress.

Behind Sami are two Thunder fighter planes, both of which came overnight from Pakistan. They are young men who are eager to try. Sami doesn't even know their names, but only knows that the Air Force Staff has determined that they are qualified to participate in the battle.As far as he knows, one of them has 2 flying hours on the JJ-7, and once had an actual combat experience of flying a Thunder fighter jet to launch rockets; With the experience of afterburner fighter jets, the old man was still worried when he took off, for fear that he would drop his precious fighter jet and destroy the runway by the way.

In order to support this war, Pakistan has invested heavily. The Lionheart Training Squadron in Quetta sent almost any guy who can drive a thunderbolt to complete one or two take-offs and landings to various battlefields. People can't cope with complex ground air defense systems at all. The loss rate of novices rose from 3% to 80.00% after three Thunderbolts were shot down this morning.

"Follow me closely. Don't panic when you see the enemies on the ground. They are in a dense formation. Just fire your rockets."

"Understood the squadron leader." Two young men replied on the radio.

"By the way, squadron leader, what if an enemy plane comes?" asked the guy with 0 combat experience. Obviously, like Sammy, he was still thinking about the Indian Air Force.

"Leave the air battle to me, and you don't want to participate. Remember, this airspace is completely controlled by our anti-aircraft missiles. Your approach to the enemy will only increase the trouble of identifying low-altitude missiles, and may cause accidental injury."

Sami said that he knew that for the s400 missile using a semi-active seeker, once the primary target is lost, the possibility of accidental injury still exists when the secondary target reflection source is quickly captured.

"Boss, I really want to fly over New Delhi."

The kid started babbling frivolously again, but in a good way with Sammy.

"I will go, if you can survive today." Sammy said, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Ibrahim Hatami Hassan."

"Oh? Your name is Hassan?" Samillo was surprised. "I used to have a student named Hassan. In June last year, during an attack on an Indian tank group, he strayed into the Afghan border, was chased by the US military, and then disappeared. .”

"Then he must be not very skilled. If it were me, he would definitely be able to get rid of the follower."

The ignorant rookie said casually.

"Well, I don't object to you saying that, but today you have to follow me closely and don't fly to those altitudes where you can easily be shot down, understand?"

"understood."

Sammy always avoided knowing too much about these guys, usually they were just callsigns in battle and then disappeared quickly, so it wasn't important to know their names.But he's grown to like the braggart, who is a bit like Ahmed Hassan, the ex-Fighting Falcon Squadron leader and his restless wingman in 9 Squadron.

"Did you see the black smoke soaring into the sky? That's the enemy's burning chariot. Where are we going?"

There was a shimmering reflection in the clouds above the plane. It was the Su-30 or J-16 that the Chinese had come all the way to drop bombs. It seemed that the focus of the attack had shifted here.

"Squadron leader, I see a tank below. It seems to be an Indian T72? Or I'll go down and beat it hard."

"Fool, that's our T84. You can't make such a foolish thing if you're on your own."

"So I made a mistake?" The kid suddenly realized that he still had a lot to learn.

"The Black Spider team, here is the Viper, and found that the Indian A50E early warning aircraft took off, south of New Delhi, maybe their air force will be dispatched today."

"Understood." Sami said, he knew that the Indians hadn't dispatched their last Phalcon early warning aircraft for a long time, of course, this does not mean that their air force will dispatch, maybe it is just to collect air intelligence, but if later, the Flying Snake's Electronic warfare aircraft appear on the edge of the battlefield at a high speed, so it is a sure thing.

"Black Spider No. 2 and No. 3, you all don't care about that, and concentrate on searching for ground targets east of the Yamna River. Prevent the enemy from turning around the side of our position. The enemy may be some wheeled chariots."

There were bursts of flames on the ground ten kilometers ahead. It was the Chinese fighter-bombers who took the lead. He should be crying for his father and mother for a while.

"Look, those vehicles on the ground."

"I saw it, they were going around our positions."

said young Hassan.

"Well, there is a battalion size, and the formation is very dense. We will attack immediately, and beware of those self-propelled anti-aircraft guns."

The three fighter planes rolled and planned to dive down. What they had to do was very simple. They pointed the nose of the plane at the advancing enemy convoy, and then fired rockets. Of course, this kind of attack is not accurate, but actually relies on rockets. Poor spread area matching with enemy formation width to kill group targets is essentially the same as it was 50 years ago.After horizontal bombing is added to the calculation of the bombing point, launching rockets is still as untechnical as machine guns strafing ground targets.

"Pull it up immediately after launch, don't fly too low." Sami reminded, but there was already a Thunderbolt like a lion pounced on a flock of sheep, and it was obviously Hassan's landline.Obviously, the lower altitude and greater dive angle are conducive to his accurate firing, but he didn't think about whether he could pull it up later.

The fire net on the ground began to pour over this unknown fighter plane, and I saw that this brave fighter plane was unmoved at all until it dived to a height of several hundred meters before launching a 57mm rocket, and then the plane pulled up at a large angle of attack. The enemy made a few tumbling movements in the fire net, leaving the dense firepower behind.The rockets formed a series of explosions on the ground, roughly covering the enemy's marching formation, and the enemy's sneak attack was blocked for a while.

"This kid still has two brushes?" Sammy thought to himself. "It's just too brave."

This reckless action caused the enemy formation to disperse, which was beneficial for him to drop cluster bombs. This is an inhumane weapon, because a large part of the ammunition will not explode after landing, and it will become a huge hidden danger to harm civilians in the future. , at least the Chinese Air Force rarely uses such weapons, but for the Pakistanis, these are not problems. The Indian Air Force has not used these things less on other people's land.

Taking advantage of another Thunderbolt firing rockets from an altitude of 2000 meters, attracting the attention of the anti-aircraft guns, Sami quietly flew in a circle to the rear of the enemy formation, then accelerated to pass above the enemy, and dropped two bombs.When he pulled it up, the bomb had already split into hundreds of small bombs, which swayed and fell down, and in an instant, the bottom was blown up into a sea of ​​flames. This kind of bomb of several hundred kilograms can sometimes have the effect of carpet bombing. As a result, it seems that the Indian army below has been hit so badly that it cannot move forward.

"Captain Black Spider, I found a Flying Snake trying to pass over our ground troops in the east, please pay attention."

"The black spider understands." Sami looked down at the monitor, and there was indeed a lone Su-30 flying past a corner of the battlefield at a height much higher than his own. It seemed that he was taking the risk of collecting the S400's irradiation radar data.Sammy knew that he could not catch up with the plane fleeing at high speed, but this was an omen, maybe the enemy air force would follow up. He ordered 2 Thunderbolts to climb to high altitude and stand by, and he responded at low and medium altitudes. He must respond to the Indians at any time any counterattack.

On the ground, Yahini kept looking up at the fighter jets flying around, not admiring them attacking the enemy, but worried that they would blow him up, his 3rd company was always a problem, sometimes these tanks could pretend to be India at night Tanks approach, but are sometimes attacked by their own during the day.Seeing the three planes climbed into the sky, his heart dropped.

Yahini has seen the power of the three-dimensional battlefield today. All kinds of firepower, precise and imprecise, are hitting the heads of the scattered enemies. Although he is only in a corner of the battlefield and cannot see the whole situation, he knows The end has come for Spanga's forces.He must prevent the enemy from slipping away from the passage in front of him. This is one of the two main supply lines of the Indian army, and naturally one of the main retreat routes. The latest aerial reconnaissance shows that there is an armored brigade behind the 26th Division waiting to come from here. Escape, of course, can't let them succeed.

"All detour around the side of the enemy convoy, walk along the river bank, don't go near the burning woods."

"That will increase our distance. You are wasting time." The commander of the 3rd company shouted on the radio. Most of the conductors are still critical.

"You fool, didn't you see the cluster bomb dropped by the plane just now? If you run over one, it may blow up the track."

The other party snorted, and wanted to refute something, but finally held back.

The water level of the Yamuna River soared overnight. Obviously, the amount of water in the upper reaches has increased. The corpses of the Indian army are floating on the river. These are the troops deployed by Spanga to ambush the Chinese reinforcements in the west of the river. However, the Chinese ground troops They didn't appear at night. In the morning, Spanga realized that the Chinese army had crossed the river from the farther north to outflank the back road, so he ordered them to cross the river and retreat immediately, but the order was a bit late. The incoming fire from both sides of the strait blocked the attack. With no possibility of fighting back, the troops suffered heavy casualties. If there is no accident, these corpses will float all the way to New Delhi. Maybe Kahan can see it standing in front of the window sill of the Prime Minister's Office.
