Chapter 243 Confrontation
January 4, 22nd year.
India.
Southwest of Siliguri City, in the Indian army’s defensive position.
The two remnant divisions, with a combined strength of 17,000 troops, were receiving large quantities of ammunition, fuel and food supplies under the cover of night.
Will Walmart and Singh Thakar were warmly entertaining the quartermaster Bart who was escorting the supplies. On the dining table in the bunker, there was a table of relatively good mutton rice and curry dishes.
But they didn't know.
In the chandelier line above the dining table, several cockroaches were watching them silently.
Bart didn't want to have this meal at first, but he couldn't refuse the invitation, so he had to stay.
"Commander Will, is it safe here?" Bart was not in the mood to enjoy the food.
Will nodded: "Don't worry! This bunker is specially reinforced. It is behind the mountain and there are no radio facilities nearby. The enemy will not realize that this is the headquarters."
"That's good, that's good." Bart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment.
Inside an underground base near the city of Siliguri surrounded by dense minefields.
Gu Lizheng personally led his subordinates to look at the strange equipment in front of them.
The base commander, Mang Feilong, quickly shouted, "Quick! Prepare for battle!"
More than a dozen new human soldiers wearing combat exoskeletons entered a hatch and quickly closed it.
After a while, everyone evacuated the scene.
All the gates were closed, and then water began to fill the area. As the water level continued to rise, soon more than half of the area was submerged.
Mang Feilong in the control room ordered: "Open the channel."
"receive."
The passage connecting to the river outside slowly opened.
Mang Feilong, who was holding the intercom, ordered: "Thunder Dragon One, attack!"
"receive."
In the water-filled space just now, a medium-sized submarine began to release airbags to pull the submarine up, then suspended it in the water and slowly moved outside.
When the hull appeared on the river channel, there was a river valley outside. The water depth here was about 28.6 meters. It was a deep water area after artificial sand pumping.
For the Leilong-1 submarine, which has a hull height of about 8 meters, it can barely submerge.
But it doesn't matter.
Because the Leilong No. 1 was not originally designed for submersible navigation, it quickly surfaced, opened the airbag similar to that of an air cushion craft, and completely lifted the hull.
Then the upper deck was opened and spread out to both sides, turning into two sets of wings.
The four turbojet engines hanging at the back also started up quickly, spewing out light blue flames.
It pushed the 620-ton Leilong No. 1 toward the river surface 16.3 kilometers downstream.
When the engine was running at full capacity, Leilong No. 1 began to leave the water and flew directly to a height of about 15 meters above the water surface, with a speed reaching 480 kilometers per hour.
Less than three minutes.
Leilong No. 1 arrived at the designated river surface, which was a small lake and swamp. After secret sand pumping, the water depth in part of the water exceeded 25 meters.
At this time, Leilong No. 1 was anchored in one of the low-lying waters.
The captain ordered the radar operator to turn on the radar and readjust the parameters.
"Report, parameter adjustment completed!"
"Open the Roaring Artillery."
"receive."
The deck of Leilong No. 1 unfolded to both sides, revealing a huge cannon with a caliber of 300 mm and a diameter of 52 times. The muzzle of the cannon moved slowly.
Leilong No. 1 then opened the support frame and inserted it directly into the mud and sand on the bottom of the water. After fixing the position, it began to adjust the muzzle and angle.
With the help of a large number of auxiliary equipment, the shooting parameters were adjusted in just five minutes.
The captain looked at his watch and said, "Begin loading the shells."
"receive."
The automatic shell loader quickly loads special armor-piercing shells and propellant into the gun chamber.
"fire!"
Ding! The ignition switch is pressed!
boom!
The TNT explosion generates a propulsion force that quickly launches the shell.
The terrifying recoil and air waves made the surrounding water surface seem like a huge fist hitting it.
…
And it is about 63 kilometers southwest of the place where the cannon was fired.
Veer, Singh, Bhat and other officers who were still eating and chatting were chatting animatedly.
"With this batch of ammunition, we will be able to attack the rebel-occupied city of Siliguri in a few days. Then I will make those traitors pay the price." Singh shouted shamelessly.
Suddenly, an air raid sirens sounded outside.
Bart was about to speak when he was startled: "What's going on? Enemy attack?"
"Don't be nervous! It might be drone harassment." Will has seen the air battles between the two sides and Assam's drone swarms in the past few days.
However, he had just finished speaking.
Boom! Blood gushed out of his seven orifices, and he fell down with his eyes wide open.
The other officers suffered the same fate.
A 300mm caliber armor-piercing bullet, coming down at a speed nearly three times the speed of sound, can seriously injure the body, not to mention being hit directly. Even if it's about 200 meters away, the body will be seriously injured.
The shell just now landed less than 50 meters away from the headquarters. The shock wave and vibration directly killed the mammals within a radius of 100 meters.
A large hole of more than ten meters was left at the location where it was hit.
The quartermaster soldiers who were still carrying ammunition hid after hearing the air raid alarm, and then they heard a loud noise.
A few minutes later, Colonel Willan Volvo, who hurried to the command post, looked at the big pit not far away, his face pale.
Even though he was just a good-for-nothing who relied on his uncle's connections, he still knew some military knowledge.
With such a blow and at such a close distance, his uncle was definitely in great danger.
Suddenly the air raid alarm sounded a sharp warning.
The adjutant's face changed drastically: "Hide quickly! The enemy is attacking again!"
"Damn it! Why didn't the anti-aircraft battalion intercept?" Vilan roared and ran towards a nearby shelter.
Boom! An underground warehouse storing ammunition was instantly hit, and the chain reaction caused by the shock wave and vibration directly detonated hundreds of tons of ammunition.
Boom boom boom…
Watching the flames rising into the sky in the distance.
Weilan was terrified.
At this time, in the anti-aircraft battalion position.
More than a dozen Czech-made missile vehicles were also quickly adjusting their shooting parameters, and the computers had locked the launch position through the shooting trajectory.
Soon, five improved version of the Dadi-1 ground-to-ground missiles took off into the air.
However, at this time, Leilong No. 1 had already activated the ground effect flight mode immediately after firing, and moved towards another lake more than ten kilometers away.
After arriving at the designated location, Leilong No. 1 sank directly below the water surface.
And drones near the previous position began to create heat lures.
The improved version of the Dadi-1 missile, which flew at a speed of only 600 meters per second, took 105 seconds to reach its target.
But Leilong No. 1 had already escaped.
These speeding missiles were attracted by the heat-seeking drone and did not find the Leilong No. 1, which was hidden under the water more than ten kilometers away.
Under the water, Thunder Dragon No. 1 extended its roaring cannon again.
boom!
Another shell was fired.
Then Thunder Dragon One moved again.
The two sides exchanged artillery fire for more than half an hour.
The 36th and 21st Divisions of the Indian Army fired more than 50 Dadi-1 missiles, and the Leilong-1 also fired 21 artillery shells.
However, it was these 21 shells that directly destroyed the opposing command post, ammunition depot, fuel depot and an entire anti-aircraft battalion.
Like a loach, Thunder Dragon No. 1 will move to another place after fighting, and can even dive into the water.
The Indian army did not dare to send reconnaissance planes over for reconnaissance and could only passively accept the attack.
As for satellite photography, it is night time now and the resolution is very low. In addition, Leilong 1 has a camouflage coating, so the feedback from remote sensing detection is almost the same as that of stone.
After destroying the enemy's headquarters and ammunition supplies, Leilong No. 1 completed its mission, stopped shelling, and lurked under the surface of a swamp.
