Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 706 Choosing and Giving Up

Two two-seat J-2 fighter jets quickly flew over the combat zone at low altitude. They used low altitude flight to compress the radar to find the timing, and then jumped to launch anti-radiation missiles.

The plane carried day and night pods, but it was not prepared to search the ground in a hurry, but the continuous light of the ground artillery fire still allowed the pilot to see the retreating enemy tanks below when flying from a height of 200 meters.He could not direct the artillery to attack, but could only report the general situation to his superiors.After the two planes launch anti-radiation missiles, no matter if the enemy's radar is destroyed or they flee in packs, there will be a safe period when the prevention and control net temporarily disappears, and nearby drones can rush over to indicate these targets.

The first plane quickly pulled up to 1000 meters, searched for the target according to the characteristics of the already locked Sentinel radar, and quickly launched an LD-1 anti-radiation missile, but then another latent radar that had no record locked it, but The opponent couldn't be too happy too early. After the second plane jumped up and got the shooting window, he launched the ld-10 anti-radiation missile roughly at the same time as the enemy's AIM120.The difference is that the LD-10 can go directly to the enemy's radar position anyway, while the opponent's aim10 must rely on the ground radar before the seeker works, unless the ground commander dares to face the fact that the Mach 120 anti-radiation missile is approaching , keep the light on, in most cases, in this psychological warfare, the ground radar is at an absolute disadvantage.

The opponent uses two radars that can be turned on alternately, one virtual and one real to form a radar network to search roughly the same airspace. This is an upgraded countermeasure, while the Chinese Air Force uses two anti-radiation missiles of the same type, one in front and one in the back. Hunting and killing them one-on-one is a means of confrontation. The confrontation on this battlefield is never just an update of the weapon itself. The law of survival of the fittest also eliminates those rigid tactics.

At present, it seems that in this confrontation where the magic height is one foot high and one foot high, the aircraft has a slight upper hand, not only because the anti-radiation missiles can always grab the upper hand, but also because of the high mobility of the air force, they are always more active some.

Anti-radiation missiles fly slightly off course at a certain downward angle of attack. In fact, the missiles have already intercepted the approximate location of the target radiation source and determined the firing line during the dive. The accuracy will be higher and higher as the time approaches, but the undulating terrain in this area will at least bring ground clutter, and there will always be some interference, which makes the missile have to follow the preset flight path and perform spiral disturbance flight. By continuously detecting radiation sources Intensity for final correction.When the radiation source suddenly disappears, it will stop searching for the corrected disturbance flight, because the loss of the radiation source means that the enemy shuts down, and the missile will plunge down headlong according to the center position of the last radiation source.

The U.S. military never seems to have worried that they will lose air supremacy one day, so they crashed a high-performance Sentinel radar on the trailer. These inexplicable short-board configurations have existed for a long time with peace of mind, and have not been updated. This is the most powerful armed force in the world, but if it leaks a flaw somewhere, it will still be beaten.

In the cat-and-tiger game with the Indian ground radar force, the Chinese Air Force has developed a lot of unique skills. The average fighter pilot, from discovering the radar, to turning to the target, and then launching the missile, from the first few minutes of the war, compresses It has reached more than ten seconds, and many new hit and run routes have been derived, making full use of the pressure brought by the active seeker of the anti-radiation missile to the enemy, and trying to escape the window.These tactics can be adapted to most systems that can run with open legs, from beech to armor.

The first Sentinel radar narrowly escaped the attack, the missile was a little behind, and this radar only moved about 10 meters.If it was a powerful Eagle Strike ramjet, it would be enough to overturn the trailer and nearby power carts, but today it was lucky.The second radar did not see the second plane that jumped up. The plane obtained the target position and the approximate angle of the antenna through the data link.The missile was launched without locking. Due to the short distance to the target, the missile optimized its route by itself, flew close to the target 15 kilometers away, climbed suddenly, and aimed its antenna at the preset target to capture the radiation source in the first place.The enemy's radar has been attracted by the first J-1500S in the air at 10 meters. Unexpectedly, another missile suddenly turned over. It was too late to shut down, but it was very difficult to escape.

The U.S. military commander ordered everyone to abandon their vehicles and flee. Everyone ran away from their posts like a clockwork. The missile, which was improved from a medium-range bomb, was not very powerful, but it just blew up the antenna of the phased array radar.

2 drones rushed into the space, and although it was full of undetectable Avengers, without radar indications, the Avengers could only threaten jets visible at the nozzles at night.The drone tried to search for the enemy tank group along the retreat route of the enemy tank, and guided the 155mm artillery to carry out extended strikes after being accommodated.However, the enemy tanks were separated and the retreat routes were scattered. The drones could not find the tanks for a while. As a necessary consumable for the war, they continued to fly eastward without hesitation.If they fly too high, they will be shot down by missiles very quickly. If they fly low, their field of view is very small. At this moment, they can only slowly pass through the enemy's rear and hit the big luck.

A drone saw 2 strange-shaped vehicles appearing and disappearing behind the obstacle in front, and soon saw the 3rd and 4th vehicles, the side profile in the thermal imager, the site could not be seen clearly, but could be seen The towering launch tube looks like a Patriot missile launch vehicle, but logically, the enemy would not deploy this missile so far forward.As the distance approaches, the chassis can finally be seen clearly. This is the old enemy M270 rocket launch vehicle.As Yahini judged, they placed these objects on broken terrain to avoid aerial radar detection.At this moment, the range of the 155mm howitzer has reached its limit, and there is a need to maneuver to avoid enemy counterattacks, so it can only be prepared by long-range rockets. When the rockets are ready to fire, the enemy drives to the shielded area behind the hill.I don't know why they predicted the threat and ran behind the mountain by themselves, which would make them lose their chance to fire, but there is no doubt that they will come out after a while.The Chinese artillery decided not to be [-]% to [-]% sure, so they did not fire for the time being, and waited for them to come out by themselves.

Yahini's continued eastward route angered the deputy division commander in the rear, but Lin Huaisheng's headquarters quickly suppressed Younis. The headquarters believed that the large detour of this new force was obviously conducive to delaying the enemy. The enemy had already sensed the threat. Even if Yahini just exists and does not attack, it is enough to make them afraid and distract their pathology.In the past two hours, Lin Huaisheng obtained more information.Before, the intelligence department panicked and increased the number of foreign mercenaries from 500 to an exaggerated 20000. Then they gradually regained their senses. Finally, after checking all aspects of intelligence, it was determined that the number of external enemies was 200 to 300 tanks. Including several paramilitary forces from the United States and its allies, it contains approximately less than 7000 combat troops.In addition, there are about 2 Indian troops who cooperate with it.For Lin Huaisheng, there are not many elite enemies, as long as any one of them is restrained, the enemy's threat will be greatly weakened.Moreover, at this time, several main regiments of the Pakistani 6th Division have basically collapsed, and the situation cannot be changed whether they are rescued or not.

Yelinsky's tank unit had broken through the last resistance of Pakistan's 6th Division, and he barely fought with tanks, and the enemy was finished.

His tanks were galloping across the burning highway.The lieutenant colonel wanted to take a good look at this spectacular scene. He missed the first Gulf War, but now the same scene happened again, and he created it himself.It's a pity that most of the destroyed tanks and vehicles on the road are still burning, some are crackling, and ammunition is flying everywhere.He chose to take risks and get into the tank.

He has been connected with the Indian army killing from the inside out, and there are still a few kilometers away from the supply line of the Chinese army, but drone reconnaissance shows that the transportation there has stopped.After the rockets wiped out the entire Pakistani army like a plow, the enemy obviously knew that they were afraid, and they took the initiative to stop the transportation.The only trouble came from the flanks, the Australian waste seemed to have been beaten by a sudden enemy, and now retreated.General Frings seems to be hesitant. He has gone far enough, and now he can block the enemy's transportation with firepower. It is recommended to move forward and join Marshal Pasade directly, so that the Chinese tanks that have penetrated too far to the south can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the enemy's defeat will be assured.In order to illustrate the problem, Yelinsky said to the hesitant Frings on the radio: "If my ancestors did not stop in Ukraine, but went straight to Moscow, the world today would be much more peaceful. There will be Bolsheviks, and there won’t even be a Chinese Communist Party.”

As a descendant of Poland, he can always pick up some strange and far-fetched allusions that ordinary people cannot understand.But Frings weighed it up and finally agreed to his proposal.To be on the safe side, he transferred Yelinsky's South Korean K2 tank unit to the direction where the Australian army was attacked for safety.

South Korea is the only country in the world that eagerly responds to the call of the United States and sends its formed units to "volunteer" to join the war. It even goes much further than the United States' open recruitment of veterans. The purpose is to avenge the dozen or so consultants who were captured before The members of the regiment were sent to the national TV station by China and Pakistan, crying bitterly and reading a letter of repentance for public humiliation.Of course, the deployment of Frings weakened Yelinsky's frontal assault force.Yelinsky is in urgent need of troops to get through the connection with New Delhi, and then sweep south during the day.He did not think that Frings might be right to worry, because intelligence showed that the independent armored battalion of the [-]st Armored Division might be a force that was more difficult to deal with than the rest of the [-]st Armored Division combined. Mess with the rear.

When the relay drone approached last time, Yahini got a final message allowing him to play cheap.This battlefield is treacherous and unpredictable, communication is not always reliable, and drones or other reconnaissance methods cannot track the target consistently. He needs such a commissioned command authorization.He knows that the enemy has taken action on a wide front with few troops, which means that he will use some bold tactics of splitting and attacking, which will leave a lot of gaps to penetrate, of course, this needs to rely on A little luck.

As in previous battles, once a breakthrough is made to the enemy's vulnerable rear, it means that the tank will face anti-aircraft missiles, support artillery, transport convoys or engineering equipment. Hundreds of thousands of liters of fuel is enough to restrict the original trouser line of the front tank and provide the Air Force with a ground reference point for continuous burning.As an acting battalion commander who has never been to a military academy, he thinks far ahead than the deputy division commander. He even estimates that the most fearful thing about those battles that are calculated in all aspects and launched hastily and reluctantly is that someone will disturb the rear, so He just wants to make the enemy suffer.

The tank drivers used low-light night vision goggles to advance to the hilly areas ahead. Those areas can disrupt radar searches from north to south, so there must be something hidden behind.

The tanks in the front line first saw a row of targets moving, which seemed to be M2 infantry fighting vehicles. There were more than a dozen of them. This time, the opponent failed to see their own side first.After confirmation by Yahini, it is not an American-made M2 ​​type.The turrets appear more fluid; nor are any of the friendly weapons.He didn't have time to deploy, ordered the troops to spread out, hit them head-on, fire themselves at a suitable distance, hit and break away, absolutely don't get entangled
However, after the tank carried out laser ranging, the target began to evade and quickly emit smoke, the movements were uniform, and the degree of automation of its countermeasures was significantly higher than that of American-made weapons.The fighting chances are suddenly gone, and there's nothing to do but get close.After weighing it up, Yahini decisively ordered the troops to give up firing and drive directly behind the target group.Now is not the time to waste time. A good commander knows when to give up and must not waste time for secondary purposes.

South Korea's K21 infantry fighting vehicle company escaped by chance, but they didn't know it. They were supposed to fight with the tanks. Because the night vision system was weaker than that of the 99 tanks, they didn't find their opponents. Clear around.

A few seconds after these relatively new weapons are directed by the laser, the countermeasure system will automatically emit smoke. Of course, it also caused the convoy to fall into sudden chaos, but at this time the opponent had already left without firing a single shot.

Yahini continued to move forward cautiously, giving up attacking several low-value transport convoys that hit his eyes, and then gained something. He saw a dazzling flash in front of him in the periscope, which was the M270 continuing to fire.After hiding for a while, these things really started to move and drove to the flat area.The rockets continued to fire for a short time, and then began to launch new diversions. They thought that the main threat came from the air, and as long as they were fast enough, the Air Force could not do anything to them.The power, accuracy and reaction time of this weapon are all higher than those of a tornado. The disadvantage is that the range is not enough, and it cannot hide in a relatively rear area.

Tanks fired at these launch vehicles from 3 kilometers away. Most tanks used more powerful grenades, and some used armor-piercing projectiles with better accuracy.The unsuspecting 4 M270 vehicles with ammunition were quickly destroyed, and a team of Avengers who could not escape was also destroyed together.During the entire attack, Yahini did not even get close to within 1000 meters, and the enemy never saw him. When he left, only a burning wreck remained in the distance.Now he hit the hinterland of Frings, where he continued to search for high-value targets while waiting for dawn.As he expected, his existence already possessed immeasurable combat value, far more useful than adding fuel to the front.
