Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 795
Yahini prepared his troops and waited for this opportunity. If Pasade's attack was a few days late, Yahini might be forced to ram the enemy's defenses, but in the end it was the field marshal who couldn't hold back first.

The acting brigade commander stood on the high slope and launched his first drone. For the inevitable street fighting, he collected a lot of small drones through Younis. There isn't much depth anymore.

The small plane flew in the direction of the gunfire, and Yahini needed to know how the enemy's iron pincers clamped the Amir assault group.He hides the most powerful assault force on this battlefield, which may have more tanks than any Indian armored division on the opposite side, but both sides ignore his existence.Of course, such a strong force was not for wiping the prince's ass. He was ready to directly enter the city tonight, a few streets away from the prime minister's mansion.

The city defense of New Delhi deployed by Pasad is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is quite organized. The closer the attack is to the center, the greater the density of the enemy's troops and firearms, let alone the city buildings as cover.The east of the city faced by the 1st Division is the closest to the enemy’s core position, but it also faces a large number of solid large buildings in the government area. From the map, the National Stadium, the Supreme Court, and various museum memorials are all concrete and steel structures. In addition to certain underground facilities, in fact, the best quality buildings in India are concentrated here, and the shrewd commander will not fail to use them.Every block here, every house, could be the grave of an attacker.

When the drone approached the firefighting area, it turned a corner to one side and flew towards the Red Fort. Behind the Red Fort is the Kashmir Arch, and below the gate is the main road in New Delhi.

The enemy was able to mobilize troops before the air reconnaissance and reaction, obviously coming from a wide enough road.The plane flew over a tree, over a ruined wall, and saw the ZSU23-4 anti-aircraft tank flying over the sky. The enemy gunner even looked up, but they had no time to stop and deal with such a small unmanned vehicle. They rushed forward quickly, they were going to surround Amir's assault force.The brigade T72 that appeared later raised its barrels high and followed closely behind, in a neat line, followed by infantry.Yahini noticed that most of the commanders had their heads sticking out of the vehicle, looking into the firefight zone. As the commander of the armored forces, Yahini knew that this was a sign of high morale.

"Passard seems to have dispatched the most powerful armored force? His Royal Highness is going to be in trouble."

He saw that the timing of the enemy's choice was quite deliberate. Amir always attacked at sunrise, so the Indians would take advantage of the setting sun to launch a counterattack. Of course, there was another advantage. Withdrawal, the attack power of several squadrons of the Pakistan Air Force will drop by 9% at night.

He roughly saw through the enemy's strategy, but still stood still. It wasn't because he wanted to be a prince because of factional grievances, but because he saw a bigger opportunity for war.

Prince Ibrahim was finally relieved, and he began to command the remaining troops to retreat.But he immediately found that he was bitten tightly and could not escape, and the division headquarters lost contact, all artillery firepower was lost, and the air support was just a castle in the air.

After the enemy's anti-aircraft fire came out of nowhere, those flamboyant fighters suddenly became ineffective.But the enemy has no air force, he can still use the terrain to retreat slowly.Without careful consideration, he ordered the tanks to retreat to the nearest Noida industrial area. It seems that in such a complicated place, it is easy for enemy tanks to approach and offset the advantages of their own firepower and armor, but at this juncture, it is not bad to be able to make a decision. , is better than doing nothing.

The enemy's artillery fire followed closely. With the help of some tall buildings in New Delhi, the Indian artillery can sometimes see the movement of the retreating enemy tanks, but now he has hidden behind the complex terrain. According to experience, the enemy's The artillery fire should have lost its aim, but it backfired, and he didn't know why.

"The whole team retreated while fighting, and the main fire was to alert the south, where there are several fierce enemies." The commander finally figured out the situation and began to issue further orders.

"Commander, our infantry fighting vehicles have been under artillery fire and are almost isolated."

"It's so strange, their curved fire is like having eyes."

Under the shadow of tall buildings on the other side of the Jumuna River, a Leopard II of the Indian Army is silently parked here. This is one of the few remaining Western tanks of the Spanga Army. To eavesdrop on the opponent's communications.

In principle, the tanks purchased by different users will inevitably have different encryption channels set according to their needs. However, the tanks of the German Wehrmacht used in India and the opponent's communication equipment are left with several back doors; Loopholes in it can be exploited; pity it is Pasad and the Americans, not Ibrahim, who have the heart.While the Prince's tank was still on the road, conversion work had already begun.

"A company set up an ambush in the hilly area, preparing to ambush the enemy on the southern flank." The prince plotted his intention on the map, and his main force would intercept the enemy attacking from the south. Of course, his intention was almost exact. The land is in the hands of the Indian Army.

Pasad put on a steel helmet on a rare occasion and went to the front line in person. Someone sent a part of the communication monitored by the Amer assault group to the marshal. The GPS coordinates of the vehicle, unprecedented cheating in war.

"It seems that the first round of shelling did not meet expectations. You see, this guy is still alive." The marshal smiled and glanced at his officers, "But I am not greedy. I am satisfied if the tornado can take away their division headquarters."

"Commander, since we can find his location, let's carry out another round of shelling and kill him." Lieutenant General Pacianita volunteered.

"No, this man is going to live. Let Muyar send someone from the airborne brigade. They are good at this."

"Commander, I just heard that the enemy is asking for help from the Army Group Command, asking to send the friendly Yahini assault group to rescue them." An officer came over to report the new situation.

"Assault Group of the Neighboring Force? Is it the armored force of the 25th Division?"

"No, according to intelligence, this call sign belongs to a temporary unit under the 1st Armored Division, with an ominous combat record and an ominous scale."

"It's Yahini? I must have heard this code name somewhere. Don't underestimate the enemy. Before the battle, form a temporary group, probably a reserve team or an assault force?" The marshal couldn't help but become suspicious. Surrounded, it is difficult to carry out intelligence work, "Lieutenant Colonel Levi, you go to interrogate the prisoners you just captured, what is going on with this Yahini battle group?"

"Yes."

The lieutenant colonel was ordered to leave. The first batch of prisoners of war in this battle was almost here, so he had to pry their mouths open immediately.

Yahini continued to release the second drone to conduct reconnaissance on the predetermined offensive route. In order to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland, he did not recover the first drone. The drone flew into New Delhi and was killed before the battery was exhausted. Destroyed by unknown fire.

He had just received good news that Younis was safe and sound when the division headquarters was hit by a tornado; of course, it was also bad news to a certain extent, as expected, orders from the deputy division commander urging him to rescue Ibrahim were sent one after another.He didn't dare to refute the old superior's face directly, so he could only order the recruits hidden in the rear to start to move closer to the main force, while delaying time, while making the illusion of preparing to attack, in order to fool the superior.

He also needed to carefully observe the two wings of the iron pincers with which the enemy surrounded the prince, to see which side was weaker and slower.The intelligence department has not been able to determine the enemy's number one by one so far, but he can see signs with his pair of eyes.It can be seen that the attacking troops on the southern flank are more tough, while the troops on the northern flank are a little slower, much like the Indian 4th Armored Division he once fought against. , probably recovered by now
It's not that he didn't think that once the prince has something to do, he might take the responsibility, but according to his judgment, Prahim should be able to resist until dark. At that time, taking advantage of the night vision device, these expensive leopards II can break out on his own, so he doesn't have to reveal his strength in advance to save them, but he doesn't know that the enemy has completely mastered the transfer of the prince's main force.

At this moment, the prince is doing his best to deal with the T90S tanks rushing from the south.Those low Russian-made tanks were driving at high speed among the ruined walls, approaching in a roundabout way, and it was very difficult to catch fighters.

A T90 rushed up the pile of rubble, jumped into the air and fired a shot, then fell hard, out of sight.Of course, such a heroic move could not hit the target, but it attracted the attention of most tankers, and the T90s from other directions slowly outflanked them.Every time the prince updated the information of the tank battalion, the location was revealed, but he still didn't realize it.He was just surprised that no matter where he moved, the enemy's artillery fire followed him and quickly cleared up the nearby infantry fighting vehicles. He really couldn't figure out how the Indian artillery had become a heavenly soldier.

A T90, hiding behind the ruins, opened fire first, and a shell hit the side of a tank to the Prince's right, destroying it.The prince immediately overtook the commander and turned the muzzle, but the opponent quickly hid in a nearby blind spot, while another chariot quietly leaked out of the gun barrel, and a shot hit the front of the Leopard 2 that the commander was riding on. The huge kinetic energy impact nearly knocked the Prince Soul was frightened, and it took him 10 seconds to calm down and confirm that he was not dead and the tank was not penetrated.

As Yahini observed, the force attacking from the south was formidable.They gave full play to their advantages in flexibility and numbers, like a pack of wolves, approaching a few silly giant bears in a virtual way.Try to kill these giant bears one by one.In order to prevent shelling, Ibrahim hid in the factory area with limited vision. The complex terrain here is just very suitable for the enemy to display their tactics.

"Commander, I saw enemy infantry on the nearby factory building, it seems that there are rocket launchers."

"Where's our infantry fighting vehicle?"

"I don't know, I lost contact."

It was only then that he noticed that there were no infantry around him. They seemed to be separated by artillery fire and did not follow up. At present, only 9 tanks were left near him. The rest of the troops had no data link and did not know where they were going.

He was forced to guard the top 360°, ready to suppress the enemy with a weapon station at any time, but there were still rockets that fired first and hit his turret, which simply did not penetrate.

"Don't worry, we can get out when it gets dark..."

Before the words fell, another friendly chariot was destroyed, this time from the front.Obviously the enemy has entered enough distance to penetrate the front.

Yibrahim was careful, he could sort out the seriousness at this moment, he knew that even if the rocket launcher penetrated the armor, it might not be fatal, but it was a different matter once the armor-piercing projectile was fired, he handed over the task of guarding the upper part to the loader himself. Aim the muzzle at the front intersection, and wait for the enemy to show his head again. He hates himself for choosing such a place. The industrial area is as neat as a chessboard, with many intersections, which is very unfavorable for shooting those fast-moving targets.

A T90 flashed past at full speed, rushing from one intersection to another.The Indian made a bet with his life that he would not have time to complete ranging/aiming and shooting, and sure enough he really had no time to fire.If he sticks his head out, he can make some predictions about the area where enemy tanks are about to appear, but he dare not do so now.

The T90 sped out from the same intersection recklessly, but in the opposite direction. This time, the T90 fired a shot as soon as it rushed out of the intersection. Of course it was impossible to hit it, but the enemy's purpose was to lure him to fire.In desperation, the prince completely subconsciously shot beyond, but of course he missed.

At this time, the second T2 emerged from another intersection, and he stopped speeding past, but stopped the car and stopped at the intersection.His fellow adventurers earn him short reload times, such is the power of wolves.

The two sides stopped to face each other less than 200 meters apart, their respective lasers scanned each other up and down, the Indian tanker was waiting for the aim to be completed, and the prince could only expect the loader to perform exceptionally.However, at such a short distance, the opponent's disturbance aiming time will be greatly reduced.

The 90mm gun of the T125 fired first, and the shell drilled into the seemingly thick wedge-shaped front armor on the Leopard 2 turret, directly killing the gunner and loader standing on one side. Hole, fly away.It's a pity that the tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile did not ignite the ammunition.

The prince lost all courage, he desperately opened the top cover, and tried to escape under the cover of the white mist gushing from the automatic fire extinguisher.But when he jumped down, he was knocked down by a machine gun bullet, lost his center of gravity, and rolled down from the tall turret.

He found that one of his legs had been bent to the other side, the bone stubble was leaking from the torn and smoking trousers, and the enemy had hit him in the calf.

Immediately, several soldiers from the 50th Airborne Brigade came out of the nearby pipes and dragged away the screaming prince, leaving behind a terrible bloodstain.

Pasade crossed his legs, waiting for the good news from the frontier.

"Commander-in-Chief, the prince has been captured and is being snatched from the front line, but he is seriously injured, maybe..."

"Even at all costs, it must be saved."

"Report," Lieutenant Colonel Levi's walked in, "I just interrogated a few prisoners of war and found out the details of the Yahini assault group."

"Quick, let's hear it."

"This assault group used to be an independent armored battalion of the 1st Armored Division. Yahini is the name of the battalion commander. It has been the only tank unit of the division for a long time. It currently has 2 companies equipped with about 16 to 18 A Type 96 tank, and another infantry unit, about 300 people, the unit was located 5 kilometers behind one day ago, and its current location is unknown."

"It seems that it's just a shelf force with a reserved number, and its strength is not strong." The marshal nodded. He was not so confused as to completely listen to the captives, but what the captives said seemed quite reasonable. More than half of it was consumed just now, and it is impossible to recover quickly. Just like the armored divisions under him, they only have 50 to 60 tanks. Therefore, he judged that the cutting-edge forces that can really fight must be concentrated in Amir's assault group inside.

"The 1st Armored Division is empty now. We might as well push forward and continue to surround him with thousands of people while it is dark, and then level the front line." Pacianita suggested.

"How many tanks do you have left in your division?"

"There are still 55 tanks, enough for them to drink a pot." The lieutenant general was proud, he didn't know that a temporary officer not far from him had many more tanks than him.

"Well, you leave one to continue to join the battle to besiege the remnants of the industrial zone, and the rest of the troops will attack in depth, and if possible, save and eat the Yahini assault group."
