Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 686 Hasty Attack

He Fan hoped that the attack would come as soon as possible, and he was eager to show those guys who are greedy for war preparations how he fights.

Wang Zhenbei has been complaining that the anti-aircraft missile battalion has not been strengthened, and the backup radar is not in place in time, but in He Fan's view, the Hongqi 16 with a wheeled chassis is simply a burden; the reality is that the fixed-wing aircraft of the Indian Air Force has long since disappeared. The real threat comes from the nine army attack helicopter squadrons stationed in New Delhi. When the rear and air radar can completely cover the entire theater, the Red Flag 9 and Doyle m 17 system can fully exert their greatest independence. Combat energy is enough to cover the actions of tanks. Of course, the command must be very meticulous. After all, the range that these weapons can defend is not large.

"Brigade Commander, if the action is advanced, the positions of our headquarters and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters have not yet been determined when they attack." A staff officer below asked.

"The command plane must be simple, only bring the communication unit, follow the action of the reconnaissance battalion, and then transfer a tank company from the 1st battalion to strengthen the firepower of the reconnaissance battalion."

He Fan said that obviously he planned to follow the forward and directly command the reconnaissance battalion. In order to strengthen the capability of encounters, the number of tanks in the reconnaissance battalion was increased to more than 20.

"If you encounter a strong enemy, I'm afraid the headquarters will be in danger."

"What other powerful enemies does the Indian Army have?"

As he spoke, he jumped off the chassis and patted the ashes on his hands.Then he ordered to remove the useless smoke generator at the rear of the tank, and bring the external auxiliary oil barrel, so that he could advance a certain distance. One-fifth of the forward troops, for a quick fuel supply, the staff believes that the entire attack process will probably not encounter too much interference from the ground troops from Pasade, because he lacks troops that can move quickly; the attack route There are no impassable rivers on the road, and the biggest problem may come from helicopter supplies.The vertical supply zone selected by the staff is within the range of India's long-range firepower. This is the result of fully weighing various pros and cons.Pasade still had some Tornadoes and 155mm howitzers in his hands, which could have been a threat if the Field Marshal hadn't been so stupid as to drop all his heavy firepower to the north.Of course, such an attack requires intelligence support. For the air defense force, it is best not to let even an enemy's reconnaissance drone get in.

In He Fan's plan, the part that requires the air force for tactical support is removed as much as possible. He doesn't want to rely too much on the air force, which will easily reveal his intentions, and his self-propelled artillery units in the second echelon must also maintain their forward speed. It is best not to Delay the trip.

Once he attacks, the Pakistani forces in the rear will follow, outflank the enemy who is unable to react and control as long as the supply line.As long as he joins forces with Wang Zhenbei, the victory will be assured. The superiors have decided not to force the enemy to surrender through siege, which may cause famine and epidemics in the city, but they will divide and eliminate Pasia through continuous centripetal assaults. Germany's army, forcing the enemy to consider surrender.

The Pakistani formation continues to fly around New Delhi. They have actually completed the outflank of New Delhi one step ahead of the ground forces.Several guidance radars in the city were forced to turn around and stare at them closely. Being surrounded by the enemy to the rear was always disturbing.

The Sami control route is not too close to the enemy's air defense position. In most cases, the enemy can only stare blankly. Their effective range against fighter jets is much smaller than the theoretical range.However, at the Agra Air Force Base 170 kilometers southeast of New Delhi, the satellite discovered that the Patriot missile unit has arrived and is training. The current number is unknown, so Sami must be careful when passing southwest of New Delhi. According to calculations, there will be an area in the southwest of New Delhi where the air defense ranges of S300 and Patriot missiles highly overlap. If you try to stay away from the envelope of either side, you will be closer to the other side's position, but there are some hills in this area that can be used.

Sammy tends to choose to stay away from the S300, because the intelligence office told him that the personnel training of the Patriot II is very insufficient. For the air defense force, insufficient training often means that it is easy to miss the short-term favorable opportunity to fire, and the approaching It is also an important reconnaissance content to force the response of the Patriot missile position, which is much more valuable than peeking at the deployment of the S300.

Of course, the plan itself has undergone a series of revisions under the auspices of Song Ning. When the fleet completes most of the voyage, there will be a Chinese early warning aircraft and an out-of-area jamming aircraft to respond from the east. After the TVM guided missile is launched, it will not be detected by the passive sensor of the fighter itself, but it is easy to be seen by the early warning aircraft when it takes off.The early warning aircraft will simultaneously monitor possible fighter jets taking off from Agra airport, as well as the launch of S300 missiles in New Delhi.

"Southeast, the unknown radar position is activated."

Major Latif yelled uncomfortably. He had detected an enemy radar exposure, apparently a phased array guided radar. This was probably the first Patriot missile detection since the outbreak of the war. No one knows how well the US-made weapons will perform. General intelligence believes that if it is only the Patriot II, it is likely to be inferior to India's S300PMU2, at least in terms of the number of firepower channels.

Sammy instructed everyone to lower the altitude immediately to escape radar tracking. If it is a well-trained S300 missile position, it is likely to fire within 20 seconds after the guidance radar is turned on, and the response speed of the Patriot should not be lower than this speed .

Major Latif did not lower the altitude quickly. He was performing an electronic reconnaissance mission, so he could not give up such an opportunity and hid at a low altitude.In addition to the reconnaissance pod, he also carries the KG300G jamming pod to cover the formation, which is also an excellent opportunity to detect mine response to jamming.

The peak power of this jamming pod is 2000 watts, which is not enough to fight against the ground radar that is too far away, but it can interfere with the multi-target tracking of the radar to a certain extent and cover other members of the formation. Of course, this method can easily attract firepower to him My side.Such a task could not be entrusted to a fledgling boy, so it fell to the major.

Considering that the aircraft just consumed 40.00% of the fuel at this stage, the flexibility has greatly increased, and a veteran with a high number of flying hours should be able to handle it. Of course, the major is not experienced in sand cities. Even if the enemy's position is 50 to 60 kilometers away from him, he will Still tensed up.

In principle, the TVM guidance method can be positioned through the intersection of radar passive tracking and missile direction finder, and attack the source of interference, with very high accuracy.But the major still bite the bullet and maintain the altitude. He has to wait until the Chinese early warning aircraft sees the enemy missiles taking off before evading. This is a matter of face.

From the display, China's Flying Leopard jammer has also begun to interfere with the enemy's radar. Within 1 minute and 30 seconds, the enemy's radar will enter the range of the anti-radiation missile it carries.But this period of time is still too long for the major, enough for him to be shot down many times.

Sure enough, the interference with the Patriot missiles did not have the desired effect. There are still 5 aircraft in the 3-aircraft formation that cannot get rid of radar tracking. Every time a new radar appears, it means a new challenge. It takes a lot of contact and reconnaissance to fully Using limited power to suppress, it is temporarily unclear whether the interference of the flying leopard can have an effect on the correction command, which will not be known until the enemy fires.

The early warning aircraft finally saw 6 missiles take off one after another, flying to various targets, 2 of which flew to the Flying Leopards, and the other 4 flew to Sami's formation.

It's not clear why the ground commander would fire on a fairly nimble out-of-area jammer at the edge of range, such an attack is bound to miss, if he either misdirected it, or he wanted to force the Flying Leopard to turn around and preclude it from launching anti-radiation missiles Of course, the continuous threat of electronic interference will also be eliminated, which is conducive to its attack on Xiaolong.

Generally speaking, the closer to the end of these TVM-guided missiles that rely on ground commands, the higher the measurement accuracy of the target, but the command anti-jamming capability is the opposite.

Major Latif began to release the chaff, and at the same time dived at a large angle to the ground. He hoped that when the missile made a parabolic U-turn and pursued downward, he could effectively use the undulating ground to counter the distant radar.When he was training the squadron, he never imagined that he would one day take such a risk.Of course he would rather face an enemy plane biting him from 6 o'clock than against a missile.Because the proximate power of the two is completely different.

JF17 is the best subsonic aircraft he has ever flown at medium and low altitudes. It is definitely better than the F16D. Even with two pods, it can still be easily controlled. This is his biggest guarantee for this adventure.

The missile was coming from the southeast, like a few slow points of light, and Latif knew that if he accelerated fast enough, he could force the measuring equipment on the missile to face the clutter reflection from the radar near the ground.He dived to the ground with increased force, and of course he had to face the risk of hitting the ground at the same time.

At this time, Sammy had already got rid of the radar, and he flew close to the ridge to ensure that neither the Patriots nor the S300 positions could hit him.He looked up and watched Major Latif fall headfirst, as if he couldn't pull it up anymore, but in the end he leveled the machine body with a perfect pull-up and turning action.The two missiles overhead drew an arc and flew into the distance.However, the formation still ushered in the first loss. Another Thunderbolt that could not dodge was hit by a missile, and it disintegrated and fell somewhere that Sami couldn't see.Fortunately, he was already prepared to accept the loss. If there were no casualties in today's mission deep into the enemy's rear, it would be beyond his expectations.

"We should take a few anti-radiation missiles with us when we take off, so that we won't be passively attacked. Those radars must be blown up."

On the radio, Hassan chattered on and on.While Major Latif was still breathing heavily, Hassan had already started to feel aggrieved. He was the first person in the formation to get rid of the radar. Apart from underestimating the enemy, this person seemed to have always had good luck.The formation flew north from east of New Delhi to complete the reconnaissance mission.

At 1:4 p.m., Wang Zhenbei and He Fan's headquarters received an attack order at the same time. The attack time was set to be 7 hours later, that is, 5:[-] p.m. BJ time and [-]:[-] p.m. New Delhi time. , will expand after an earlier time.

The matter was indeed beyond Wang Zhenbei's expectations, but now is no longer the time to discuss the plan, the military order is like a mountain, and the attack must be launched on time.He Fan snatched the enemy's denser and longer route to the east, probably because there were no rivers and too broken and complicated terrain on that route, which was conducive to high-speed assault.However, the route Wang Zhenbei will face is much more complicated, and it is not very suitable for mechanized troops to operate, but there are fewer enemies.His striker must carry out a floating reading/submerging tonight, and the engineers must complete 4 pontoon bridges at least before dawn tomorrow. No matter how you calculate, the equipment is not enough.

Frowning, he walked out of the command post. From this commanding height, he could overlook several nearby busy roads. The fighting Pakistani army completely occupied these narrow roads, making resupply difficult.Simply speaking from the perspective of blocking Wang Zhenbei's actions, India's dilapidated roads are likely to be more effective than their army.However, the Pakistani army is always unable to give up the passage according to the planned timetable. The Hongqi 16 missile unit that Wang Zhenbei is waiting for is still blocked on the way from Chandigarh to here. It must be too late to join the sequence before the attack. Not having enough anti-aircraft firepower really worried him. He didn't know what He Fan was thinking, but he was so indifferent.

The roar of fighter jets overhead sounded, and the air force had begun to move ahead, bombing various targets at the front, and everything had entered orbit and could not be reversed.

In one week, the Chinese and Pakistani forces conducted thousands of small-scale reconnaissance operations on the 70-kilometer-wide front north of New Delhi. Now the marked targets on these apparent positions, whether real or not, have been destroyed together. Sexually hit.The Pakistani army has deployed 1500 various artillery pieces (including mortars and rocket launchers) in the shallow and deep areas, together with the long-range firepower of the Chinese army in the rear, hoping to give enough shock to the cat in the burrow. .

According to Lin Huaisheng's research on Field Marshal Pasade, he is the kind of person who is suspicious by nature. Practical experience.This set of fortress tactics formulated by him and the entire Indian command may still be able to take advantage of the border cannibalization battle backed by the road, but it is obviously not well thought out to defend a big city.

The extended-range ammunition fired by the large-caliber howitzer directly hit the headquarters of Pasadeh in the initial stage of firepower preparation. This was Lin Huaisheng's intentional pressure on the opponent in order to make him misjudge the direction of the Chinese army's attack.

Pasade sat in his command room, through a pane of glass, staring blankly at the staff officers walking around outside, moving some arrows on the map.Even if the enemy has not yet launched a ground attack, some troops have already collapsed and retreated. In his plan, those miscellaneous troops with insufficient training were placed in front to delay time and expose the enemy's attack attempt. Now the Chinese army is on the offensive On the front, it seems that the intention is revealed.

The concrete debris above the head exploded as the shells that fell closer to the landing point fell, and even if the sound of the shells could not be heard, one could still feel the wave of enemy shelling being stronger than the wave.

"Commander, all the bombs that fall are instant fuze bombs, and they are still hitting surface targets." Colonel Lansnell said.

"The cannonballs are hitting hard. It seems that Chief Charmain won't be able to come this afternoon."

"Most of the roads leading into the city have been shelled. He called just now and said he would not be coming today. He also mentioned the military meeting in the morning. The Speaker of the Bundestag fled secretly and was almost killed by the Chinese. "
