Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 806 The Traitor

Tens of thousands of soldiers attacked together, but the Indian army's defense was quite tight. Most of the Pakistani army did not have the careful planning and suddenness of Yahini, and they couldn't get cheap for a while.

The Pakistani army lacked siege weapons and experience, although it did not lack warriors.Since there is no time to assume the pontoon bridge in most parts of the Jumuna River, the soldiers in the northeast can only set out from Gatwala in the northeast, paddle rubber boats to the sandbar in the middle of the river, and then wade across the river from here. The vanguard is in control, but there is no solid bridgehead, and the shells of the Indian army continue to fall around.

The entire exposed west bank of the Jumuna River has been abandoned by the Indian army, but it is only a long and narrow open area, and they have not abandoned the buildings along the bank.According to Pais'ad's plan, there are still a large number of troops hiding in the northern section of the Jumuna River. This is the largest open-air laundry factory in the world. It is next to the old city of Delhi. Tanks cannot move, and the guard house has a large number of low and sturdy buildings. , can be used as a basis.

When Yahini broke through from the southern section of the river, the neighboring Pakistani army immediately sent an air force to bombard the buildings along the river indiscriminately, and then the reconnaissance force controlled the narrow area of ​​the river bank. These actions were not met with a violent counterattack by the Indian army.Now that Yahini broke into the city center from the south in one fell swoop, the entire defense seemed to be collapsing, and the Pakistani army began to get impatient.They no longer waited for the buoy to be completed, but looked for all possible ways to cross the river, preparing for the final battle.It is not a wise choice to use rubber boats to cross the river. It will inevitably disrupt the organizational system and cause a large number of grassroots troops to lose command.Soon tens of thousands of soldiers crowded to the river bank under the threat of Indian artillery fire, and unprecedented chaos ensued, because most of the troops could not find the company commander.Most of these units have fought a battle or two (usually lost) and are very dependent on their commander.They did not develop decisively in depth, but huddled together on the river bank and shouted, while the Indian military officers hiding in the dark were secretly observing their opponents.Although most Indian soldiers have given up hope for the prospect of war, they still have a sense of honor and psychological advantages when facing the Pakistani army.

Apparently, the enemies rushing across the river were not that well trained and hardly had any heavy weapons.

Under the correction of the Indian artillery observers, the shells fell more and more accurately, and the bridgehead was already crowded, and the Pakistan Army was forced to start attacking westward.In a dense formation, they passed the embankment and the huge stone steps of the laundry factory.The first row of buildings in front of them had been destroyed by their own air force and artillery fire. Those who were lucky began to charge. They crossed the ruins that could be used as cover and rushed forward in a mess. Pasade sent his most elite 22nd Infantry Division Deployed here, this force once captured Multan, and now they must hold their last line of defense.

At the moment when the Pakistani army advanced under the nose, the light and heavy machine guns of the defenders fired together, and the crossfire immediately wiped out the enemies exposed in front of them.Curved grenades and mortars landed in the dense crowd behind and exploded.The snipers hid on the commanding heights, searched the enemy crowd, and everyone who looked like an officer, the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed.

In the area further south, as Yahini's troops have rammed a large area of ​​depth, the offensive organization is a little more decent. The tanks of the Pakistani 2nd Division once approached the Supreme Court, but they were ambushed on the top of the building. Anti-tank Missile interception, the interception was quite organized, and the firepower was quite concentrated and precise. About one company of tanks never returned, so they could only call the air force, and under the eyes of Western reporters, they carried out indiscriminate bombing without precision.At present, this division is the closest to the Prime Minister's Office except for Yahini's troops.

Pasade supported his body with his hands, struggling to stand in front of the sand table.Waiting for the collection of information from all aspects.The most difficult moment has come, the enemy air force is flying randomly in the sky, searching for any valuable targets on the ground.His air defense force has been so weak that it can only be turned on intermittently, hitting and running.

The air defense force itself is difficult to protect, and the artillery is naturally even worse.Once those D30 artillery groups fired, they would be wiped out within minutes.Only the flexible vehicle-mounted mortar is currently a reliable counterattack weapon.At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy's sudden attack along the road was far beyond his expectations. He originally thought that the enemy had just captured a bridgehead on the west bank of the river and needed to rest.But their tanks came very quickly, quickly passed the main road that was too late to lay mines, and drove a wedge in the hinterland in a blink of an eye.Originally, he thought that with the fortification of the city, he could hold on for a month, but this action by the enemy may shorten the time of defending the city to a few days.

However, he found that the enemies swarming from other directions seemed to be out of order, slow and chaotic. He talked to several front-line brigade leaders, and they all expressed that there was not much pressure for the time being.

"Commander. The first attack on the convention center has failed. Lieutenant General Muyar calls for more artillery support."

"Didn't it mean that Muyar was targeted and cleared by them?"

"The report was wrong, and he seems to have been rescued again."

"I see?"

The marshal pulled down his hat and stroked his short hair.At this moment, the meeting in Srinagar has probably started.Jamilon should have found all the people related to the former regime that he could find. It is said that the Air Force Chief of Staff Biafrata will also send people to contact him, but his army is still struggling here. The regime serves.

Charmain is drafting a new negotiation bottom line, which will be sent through the channel he has in hand. He doesn't know if the Chinese will make concessions.He has no way to retreat, and he can't surrender unconditionally. Now he can only wait for the army in front to give him a long way to go.

"Give Muar the remaining units of the 40th Artillery Division, part of the mobile air defense unit, and the 2nd Armored Brigade. Let him settle the battle today anyway."

"Sir, can you do it?"

"Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Without air supremacy, the movement of his troops has become extremely difficult, and he may be seen by the enemy's air force at any time. Fortunately, there are underground transportation lines.There is no extra choice now. If the war will end within a few days, the Chinese will naturally disdain to talk to him. He hopes to regain his position in one fell swoop and let his opponent know that he still has strength.

At the same time, Colonel Rolle drove a lonely fighter plane and flew westward in the afterglow of the setting sun.His destination is Srinagar.Not long ago, as an air force support force, he had been stationed there for a while, and only after the way out on the ground was cut off did he risk his life to break through.

Now he shoulders the task personally delivered by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.Obviously, this matter is extremely important to the future of the Air Force, and it will not be a good thing for him. He knows that he will fall from a hero to a traitor, but he has to make such a choice.

The Indian Air Force is no longer able to fight anymore, and the country is facing a split between North and South. At present, the only one who can continue to integrate India after the BJP’s resignation is Jamilon, a traitor. It will fall apart, maybe not a north-south division, but a lot of pieces.

It was only during the colonial era that India underwent integration as a unitary taxing unit of the British Empire.Inspired by Gandhi's charisma, completely different groups of people gained a sense of identity for the first time, but a large number of language and religious barriers are natural incentives for division.If there is no strong leader to stand up, it is almost inevitable to slide into division,
He turned on the radio and waited for a call on the agreed channel. The radar warning equipment was always active and could detect at least 6 to 10 radars appearing in three directions.The enemy should see himself now.He became a little impatient. A nearby FD2000 guidance radar kept staring at him, as if he was practicing with himself, which was very provocative.From the location of the radar source, it was on the side of Pakistani positions in Kashmir.Like all Indian pilots, Rolle did not think that he had lost to Pakistan, which allowed them to burst into anger and considerable combat effectiveness against Pakistani troops even in the defeat.

If it's wartime, he'll immediately respond with an anti-radiation missile, then do a dizzying array of maneuvers to get off the radar.Even now, he still has such urges, but he must control his emotions, otherwise he will easily mess up what the officer told him.

"Trident Squadron Leader. Please answer if you hear it." Someone said in English on the radio.

"receive."

"I am the pilot of the Griffin Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force, and I am ordered to escort you. I and another wingman will appear from the direction of 3 o'clock."

"receive."

Rolle didn't want to talk much with the man on the radio.

Griffin Squadron is a fighter unit that has been eliminated long ago. It used to use J-7 fighters. In the first month of the war, more than half of them were shot down in border air battles. Later, the designation was cancelled.

It seems that the Pakistan Air Force has resumed the 4th squadron.It was only in the morning that he learned that the Pakistani Air Force had restored the Black Panther Squadron. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Griffin also appeared.Considering the recent loss of Pakistan Air Force new pilots in New Delhi, it is surprising that they can continue to add squadrons.There used to be a JF17 production line in Pakistan, which was said to be able to maintain a production capacity of 2 per month, but it never came true.After the Chinese came in, everything changed, and Pakistan began to get a steady stream of weapons.

For India's defeat, Rolle had very complicated feelings. Unlike militants like Goya, he did not agree with the war. He knew that Pakistan had reliable reinforcements behind it, and although there were a large number of countries behind India that waved their flags, But there are not too reliable allies.Now this judgment has been verified, and the Pakistani army was almost wiped out, but China started the factory and quickly filled the hole.India's allies, however, came late and demanded high prices.

He noticed two gray dots appeared on the right side, and quickly passed his nose. When flying past 2 o'clock, the two Xiaolong deliberately reversed the fuselage, exposing the missiles under the wings, which seemed quite hostile.He tracked it with the helmet sight for a while, judging from the formation flight trajectory, it was not neat, not like a veteran.

Two Xiaolongs came around and pinched him from left to right, which made him very uncomfortable.Luo Er looked at the clouds below, and suddenly accelerated downward while rolling, throwing off the two rookies.He doesn't need to be escorted or escorted by a plane with missiles, and he has to show his hand when necessary.This action also threw off the tracking ground radar, and he headed straight for Srinagar with the help of the nearby snow-capped mountains.The Pakistani planes did not catch up, they just came to show off their might, and then turned back after being deflated, and did not cross Meneam's chassis.

Rolling around the mountains, he saw a 4000-meter-long runway in Srinagar. There were several Chinese transport planes parked beside it. They were probably planes delivering food. Meneyam’s army was already in a state of food shortage. If you donate food, you can't survive at all, let alone fight.

The fighter jet landed lightly on the runway, then opened the parachute, taxied for a while and stopped.

He climbed off the plane with a ladder that the MiG 29UPG carried on its own.As a pilot, his eyesight is very good, he can see 1 km, a row of jeeps is driving towards him, and he saw the red-faced former Minister of Agriculture sitting in the first car, thin and dark, with sunken eyes Admiral Meneam sat in the last car, knowing that there was no turning back.

In the center of New Delhi, with the last of the sunset, Indian tanks launched another round of offensive from the north, this time the enemy dispatched Challenger tanks.Green Arrow anti-tank missiles cannot penetrate such tanks from the front.A Sam 6 temporarily supported the nearby air defense network. After it suddenly appeared and shot down 4 drones and 1 Xiaolong fighter hovering in the sky, the Chinese aircraft did not dare to approach it for the time being.According to Pasade's deployment, there was also a Beech Battalion hidden nearby for alternate cover.

Six Challenger tanks rumbled towards the convention center, followed by the shirtless Self-Defense Forces carrying machine guns and bazookas.Yahini reminded the battalion commander of the machine infantry battalion not to just stare at the enemy tanks, but to pay special attention to their infantry.He deployed the 6nd company to resist the attack head-on, and the rest of the tanks prevented enemy troops from emerging from other directions at any time.The enemy's shelling became more and more fierce, causing a lot of casualties.

Approaching the tank from the north, it slowly moved forward, but those infantrymen who were not afraid of death gradually rushed to the front of the tank.Finally, they charged with shouts.Yahini's other large army is fighting two streets away at the moment, but the progress is slow, and it is temporarily unable to support each other. Only the artillery of the division headquarters can hit here, and the shells of both sides almost landed in the same area.For a while, artillery fire filled the air, like a thunderstorm from the sky.

The Type 96 tanks poured out of the bunker and began a head-on confrontation with the challengers.The two sides started shooting at a distance of less than 200 meters.At this distance, the Challenger's frontal armor is of little use.The first round of artillery fire ended, and the 2nd company won by a numerical advantage. With the loss of 2 tanks, 4 enemy tanks were eliminated, but this was not the exchange ratio that Yahini hoped to see.More enemy tanks loomed in the distance in the smoke, and the drones in the sky remained absent.

Younis' voice appeared on the radio in time, and he told Yahini to immediately use the laser irradiation system to indicate the target ahead, and there will be Chinese fire support soon.Yahini was a little hesitant. His infantry carried those things. They were originally used to indicate targets for the Air Force. However, according to his experience, it takes at least 30 minutes for the Chinese Air Force to eradicate a field air defense position. In urban warfare, the time is bound to be longer. long.Air support is difficult to recover until the enemy air defense network is overwhelmed.But Younis told him that this support was not from the air, but from laser-guided artillery shells fired by the Chinese army's 155mm howitzer.He had never seen such a weapon before, so he ordered the infantry to move the laser pointer upstairs to illuminate all approaching enemy targets. He hoped that those accurate shells would come in time, otherwise he would face a direct confrontation with the enemy consumption.
