Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 715 Super Cobra

Sammy was 15 kilometers away, and saw the billowing smoke left by the bomber in the air. The Lancer was about to flee south. Judging from the number of radar jumps, it probably couldn't run with more power. According to the old man's instructions Judging, even if you don't hit it, it may not run too far.But he never had the habit of putting his opponents one yard away, and he still rushed over with all his strength.The speed of the target is getting slower and slower. It may be that the pilot is about to parachute. The old man launched the last two PL2 missiles 2 kilometers away.

Two missiles hit the flame one after another, and the bomber fell to the ground dragging thick smoke, and the crew did not see the parachute.

At this moment, to the east of him, the only B1B that broke through hastily flew over the heads of the two warring parties on the ground, but Hassan's failed attack due to nervousness just now completely destroyed the goal of the weapon control officer on this bomber. Instructions work.

Now they can only randomly open the magazines above the battlefield and drop bombs, and drop bombs according to the inertial navigation data.This is more for the purpose of slowing down and escaping. How dare the pilot circle around and drop the bomb again?
While the plane is climbing, even if the ammunition is dropped from an altitude of 3000 meters, the bomb will inevitably be disturbed by the airflow during the long-term fall. Eventually, various errors will accumulate, making the bomb's landing point far away from the target.

Unlike the first B1B that dropped its bombs in advance, the bombs dropped by this bomber were thrown in a more northerly direction.With the help of the wind, the bombs spread over an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers, but there were hardly any troops below.These bombs rely on infrared sensors to search for targets, and shoot self-forging fragments at various suspicious objects. Most of them hit the refugee convoys that were blocked on the road by the war zone and could not escape.Compared with the crowds who fled New Delhi half a month ago, these belated refugees waited until a day ago, when missile fragments fell and caused a large number of fires in the city, before they realized that the danger might be coming. An innocent disaster.

The B1B did not take either of the escape routes of the previous bombers.Although the preparations for the mission were hasty, each aircraft had preset an independent retreat route, so as to prevent the opponent's air defense system from feeling the rules and waiting.

The Lancers turned 90°, flew west for some distance, then suddenly turned another 30° over New Delhi, breaking through to the southwest.This time, it hit the wrong direction, and only Lieutenant Colonel Latif noticed that it was going to run, and there was still a slight chance of attacking, but the fuel warning of the Lieutenant Colonel had been sounding for a while, and he originally planned to turn around immediately. The refueling area, and the bomber chasing this bomber may fall into the range of the Aster missile near Gandhi International Airport. After weighing it, the lieutenant colonel decided to go to the air refueling area first.Even in this war, without any tangible contribution, he has been promoted.He had to admit that he admired Hassan's bravery, but he couldn't do that, he asked himself.

"Black Spider No. [-], did you see Hassan parachuting?" Sammy asked after the communication resumed.

"No, he hit the plane directly. The burning wreckage on the ground is 2 kilometers long." Latif replied.

"His sacrifice was worthwhile and he chose the right way."

"He's the most...bravest young man I've ever met."

Sami made a roll in the air, and you can see that the Chinese tanks below have broken through the railway, and the Indian army is powerless to stop it.

The success of this interception operation is full of chance. If any bomber drops the bomb accurately, it may have immeasurable negative consequences on the battle situation. Although the combined losses of He Fan and Wang Zhenbei are still close to 70 tanks and There are a large number of other auxiliary vehicles, but this result is almost the best that Lin Huaisheng can imagine.The opponent suddenly escalated the confrontation without warning, and also used weapons that were launched from the mainland and were not capable of reconnaissance, but suffered a loss of 70.00% five, and did not achieve the bombing effect.

Lin Huaisheng believes that the U.S. Air Force will soon find out through satellites that the bombing did not achieve the expected effect.Naturally, corresponding officers will be punished. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that it will be very difficult for them to make plans in the future, and bold plans will no longer be encouraged.

The U.S. Air Force should realize that their seemingly overwhelming superiority is difficult to exert in the subcontinent.Even if they intend to mobilize more air force squadrons here, it is already too late.

Of course, Lin Huaisheng also had to face a complicated situation. The long battle line behind He Fan had just been cut off, and the entire logistics supply had been interrupted.In this game of chess, both sides seem to have their own winners and losers, and they both have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes. As for who will win the game, it is still unknown.Now, he must ask his superiors for more support.It must be assumed that the most dangerous situation occurs, what if the enemy dispatches B2?It seems like they might still be able to play this card, though there are some technical issues with targeting.However, considering the enemy's lenient consideration, a new way of coping is also needed, not just a tit-for-tat use of weapons to respond, but to let the opponent further see the determination to fight to the end.

In the basement of the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi, Defense Minister Singh and Major General Muyar, the commander of the New Delhi Garrison and the commander of the Guards Wing, were sitting on the sofa without saying a word, just smoking one cigarette after another.

After Chandra "disappeared", there were fewer unnecessary quarrels here, and it was quite deserted. The Prime Minister himself lost his opponent and became dazed, walking back and forth along the wall all morning.Although the doctor forbids him to walk too much every day, so as not to cause heart rhythm disorders, but now, no one can stop him from breaking through various taboos.

They had no intention of holding a meeting and were all waiting for the latest news from Marshal Pasade. Just now there was news that they had joined forces with the Western allies on the outer line. Suddenly there was another news that the connection had not actually been made, and they were still a few kilometers away. So they just Can continue to endure such suffering.

There was a lot of noise outside, and there seemed to be some news in the attendant's room. The Prime Minister stopped walking vigilantly and stared at the door.

An officer rushed in excitedly, looking at his expression, it must be some good news.Singer straightened his clothes and stood up, but Major General Muyar looked calmer, continued to tilt his head, and sat on the spot smoking a cigarette.

"Prime Minister. It's the good news from the marshal. We and our friendly forces attacked on both sides, broke through the enemy's defenses, and wiped out more than 1 enemy troops. At present, we have controlled a 2.5-kilometer-long breach. Importantly, the southern The enemy assault force has been cut off."

Tears welled up in Kahan's eyes. He rushed over a few steps and snatched the telegram from the officer's hand, but his eyes were hazy with tears, but he couldn't read the words clearly.

"Prime Minister, that's great. The enemy's plan to encircle our great capital has gone bankrupt. Now their logistics has been cut off, and they will soon be unable to protect themselves." Singer rushed to congratulate the Prime Minister as soon as possible.

"If our Guards Team attacks, I believe it will be better. The Marshal's movements are still too slow." Major General Muyar, who was crossing his legs, said in a ambiguous way, obviously not putting Pasade in his place at all. in the eyes.

After the founding of India, wars were fought everywhere. The guards are one of the few regiments that have never fought a battle. However, this regiment is also the largest among all ethnic regiments. It has expanded to 1 people, which is close to a division. .

In fact, this unit is also the only one in the army that is not under the command of the Army Staff and Pasade, and it also has a lot of heavy equipment and independent air defense units. Troops should be much stronger.

"In any case, we took a few steps back from the cliff and returned to the most favorable situation in the past three months." Singer began to speak nonsense with the optimism he had never had in the past three months.

"No, no, the enemy will still resist, we must prepare for the worst."

On the contrary, Kahan seemed to shrink back, talking to himself.

"The U.S. government's warning to China yesterday used harsh terms that have never been seen before. They are definitely not just talking." Singer seemed to regain his confidence and fully understood the future direction of the war.

"By the way, write a telegram to Meneam directly in my name, telling him to keep going and not to give up Fort ***."

As soon as Kahan was encouraged, he immediately thought long-term, which shocked Singh and Muyar. At present, the siege of New Delhi has not been solved, so he thought of 700 kilometers away, which fully explained his just now. Cautious, is fake.

"It is necessary to remind Pasad that if the enemy in the south shoots back his carbine, the enemy still has the strength to make a counterattack." Muyar said, seeming very worried about the field marshal's command.

"Yes, yes, we must be extremely careful not to change the situation that has improved," Kahan quickly echoed this suggestion, "Immediately reward the troops participating in the war, and ask Marshal Pasad to beware of enemy counterattacks."

"I hope my troops can go out of the city and compete with the enemy's main force." The garrison commander finally stood up.

"General, it's better for you to stay in the city. There are still too many spies in the city. I don't feel relieved if you leave."

About the same time, a division of the Indian Army, joined forces with troops from outside lines, had joined forces west of Kujar, an area which had been lost without decent fighting 24 hours earlier and was finally recaptured.

After tenacious resistance, about 2 Pakistani regiments finally gave up and retreated north. There were destroyed tanks and military vehicles everywhere.However, the Chinese Air Force's attacks have become more and more frequent. It is a little far away from Agra, and the Patriot missiles can barely reach here. Some dexterous fighter jets can still enter and exit freely.

Commander Frings ushered in a harsh day. The ground supply line of the Chinese and Pakistani troops was cut off, but the air corridor still existed.Various planes shuttled back and forth, dropping bombs.In addition, the Chinese military has launched a large number of drones to indicate targets for artillery regardless of cost, so many that it seems that it will never be cleared.

There were two other things that worried Frings even more. One was that an enemy tank force had detoured to the rear, posing a threat to his rear.Another thing is that last night, rockets were used to launch too many smart mines near the main road to restrict the enemy's actions.These landmines are very sensitive but have no ability to identify friend or foe. At present, they have also adversely restricted Frings' own actions.He learned that the tactical missiles and B1B attacks in the morning did not have the expected effect, and the enemy still had the strength to fight back.He asked the Air Force to take bold actions in the area east of New Delhi to compete for air supremacy and destroy the air corridors, but the Air Force rejected the proposal. They were worried that there were too few aircraft to engage the superior enemy. .

Of course, Frings is actually prepared.The armed helicopter force at the Agra base has been assembled and is ready to go into battle at any time.This force consists of 12 Apaches and 40 Super Cobras. Most of the pilots are retired personnel from the armed forces of NATO countries, and most of them participated in the Gulf War.The Indian government pays them higher combat remuneration than ground troops. These gunships can perform various flexible anti-tank missions within the range of Patriot missiles.This is a trump card kept by Frings. He didn't use it last night, just waiting for the critical moment.What he has to do now is to separate the nearby groups first, and eliminate the Pakistani troops that may threaten the flanks.

Yahini stood on the top of a small hill, observing the dust about 10 kilometers to the north of him. He judged that there was a convoy moving behind the undulating terrain there.He compared the map, and there was a road where trucks could drive, which meant that it might not be an armored force.

His tank wiped out a company of the enemy after a night of fierce fighting, and then ran 15 kilometers to escape. He lay still in the ravine at dawn. He knew that as long as the tank moved, it would easily raise smoke and dust in the dry area. It is especially easy to be exposed during the day, so it is better to wait for the opponent to be exposed.

Yahini found that the current wind direction was suitable. He finally made up his mind, threw the last drone out with the wind, and then observed the integrated control panel through the control in his hand, and controlled the small plane to fly north along the wind. If it is finally confirmed that it is not an enemy tank, he has to continue to move a certain distance to search for enemy artillery and transportation lines.

The drone drew closer to the rising smoke, and he found the narrow path.Through the smoke, I saw 3 oil tankers and some other vehicles driving on the road. This inevitably disappointed Yahini, but he decided to follow the oil tanker for a distance because he felt that at such a moment, It is strange that these vehicles are abnormally far away from the combat zone. In addition, the drone can photograph a strange tracked vehicle in the convoy at a height of 300 meters. It looks like an infantry fighting vehicle, but it does not have a turret or any weapons. It seems to be hidden in the rear. Looking at the part similar to the winch, given the poor imaging effect of the drone, he can only guess that it is a tank repair vehicle.Tank repair vehicles of the Pakistani and Indian armies usually do not have retractable booms, so they are easily recognizable, but this vehicle is clearly not the case.

The convoy turned a corner, and Yahini saw the first M[-]A[-] tank, which was parked at the intersection, with its muzzle pointing north for warning.Then the second, and the third.He found that his intuition always helped.It seems that these things really consume fuel, and they have to refuel after running all night.

The drone flew over the convoy, and the repair vehicle parked next to a tank with a turret pointing in the 3 o'clock direction and an engine compartment grille that opened on both sides.Depending on the situation, the engine needs to be replaced or repaired. The turret is pointing to one side, which is really helpful for hoisting the engine. This tank may have been damaged by myself during the battle last night.

Yahini calculated the sneak attack, and it was obviously not feasible. It only took 40 minutes for his crew to replace the diesel engine with the help of a repair car. Can't take advantage of anything.

He thought, it would be better to print out the enemy tanks and set up an ambush.
