Chapter 246: Time is running out

Hussein did not sit back and wait, but made arrangements according to the actual situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, experience plays a decisive role.

Although neither the Army Command nor the Beto base made it clear, according to Major Hussein's understanding, the rear did not let them withdraw in preparation for a counterattack.

When the Pakistani army launches a counterattack, it will definitely need people to provide fire guidance on the front line.

Special forces are more suitable than border guards to carry out guidance tasks.

Actually, this is also the reason why the army command sent special forces over.

After consulting Musharraf, Major Hussein had four squads of officers and men set off immediately to get to the other four posts before dawn.

It is not to go to the rescue of border officers and soldiers at the outpost, but to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Why did the Pakistani army build five outposts?

Because five outposts can cover the entire valley, not one.

After the Pakistani special forces are deployed in place, as long as the Indian artillery is still in the valley, it will be found wherever it is hidden.

Guided by special forces, the Pakistani artillery will be invincible.

In less than half an hour, four squads of special forces set off one after another.

There weren't many words, not even words.

For these Pakistani soldiers, the war has begun, even if it seems to be a border clash at best.

Not only to defend the Motherland, but also to defend honor.

Major Hussein did not leave, and he was accompanied by several special forces who were tasked with monitoring the Indian troops in the valley at the outpost.

According to Wang Dong's orders, Xie Chuyue and the others were also ready for battle.

Instead of a firearm, a laser rangefinder and a set of satellite positioning equipment were used.

This laser rangefinder for the US special forces has a theoretical working distance of up to 20 kilometers, but due to weather and other factors, it is generally only 10 kilometers.

Of course, enough to cover the entire river valley.

The satellite positioning equipment is also from the United States, but Wang Haotian has made changes to use Huaxia's Beidou signal if the GPS signal is interfered with.

Then, everyone got busy.

The main thing is to measure the reference object of the selection, determine the bearing and altitude, and determine the accurate coordinates of the strike area at the fastest speed during the battle.

Actually, this is similar to the preparation that a sniper does before the battle.

More than an hour passed quickly, and the Indian artillery in the valley had stopped firing half an hour earlier, and the night was calm again.

The Pakistani artillery did not fight back, indicating that it was not ready for battle at the time of the shelling.

If the information obtained by the Indian army is accurate, the losses of the Pakistani artillery will definitely be extremely heavy.

You know, the shelling of the Indian army lasted forty-five minutes!

As long as the Pakistani artillery can still fight, it will be able to use the information obtained by the counter-battery radar to launch a counterattack, at least firing at this side of the valley.

A short time later, Major Hussein received a message from Beto's base.

Not good news.

Base Beto still hasn't been able to get in touch with the artillery deployed in front, but he has already sent signal corps, and he will definitely be able to figure out the situation before dawn.

The army command has already moved, and two artillery battalions of reinforcements are on their way.

It's just that it won't arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

To find out, the Pakistan Air Force sent two drones, which are expected to reach the north of the Kargil Pass in half an hour.

Because there was no suitable reconnaissance equipment, the Air Force did not send reconnaissance aircraft.

In addition, the reconnaissance aircraft can easily be locked by the Indian army's air defense radar, and may also be intercepted by long-range air defense missiles deployed nearby.

Besides, the army special forces have already arrived at the post and there is no need for reconnaissance aircraft to look for Indian artillery.

In accordance with the order sent by Beto's base, Hussein and his men continued to be on standby, trying to determine the location of the Indian artillery in preparation for tomorrow's counterattack.

It's just that the Indian artillery will wait until tomorrow?

Apparently not, let alone tomorrow afternoon.

Not to mention that there are still more than ten hours, it only takes a few hours for the Indian artillery to leave the valley.

In addition, if the Indian army receives more support, especially the deployment intelligence of the Pakistani army, the artillery sent by the Pakistani army may not be able to turn the tide.

As long as the ammunition is sufficient, more than 10 hours is enough for the Indian army to plow the preset position of the Pakistani army with artillery shells.

What is even worse is that the Indian army will definitely take this opportunity to advance and push the artillery position forward by more than 10 kilometers, so as to bring the Beto base into the attack range.

If the Beto base is lost, the Pakistani army will completely lose the initiative.

In fact, this concern has become a reality.

Inside the valley, the Indian convoy reappeared.

Not to retreat, but to leave the valley and head north from the east of the valley to a position more than ten kilometers to the north, less than thirty kilometers from Beto's base.

Because that position, to be precise, was within the range of Pakistani artillery fire, the Indian army did not deploy artillery there, but only set it up as a temporary position.

As long as the Indian artillery missiles, the Beto base will be shelled.

What to do?

The outpost was on the western slope of the valley, and the road was on the east side of the valley, and even if it was not discovered by the Indian army, it would not be possible to rush through it in time.

What's more, there must be a lot of Indian troops in the valley.

Not to mention that Wang Dong and they only have a few dozen people, even if a mountain infantry battalion is dispatched, it may not be able to break through the Indian army's defense line in the valley.

In regular warfare, special forces are not necessarily better able to fight than ordinary soldiers.

In addition, as long as the Indian army holds the commanding heights at the southern exit of the valley, it can block the entire valley and leave the Pakistani army attacking the valley with no way out.

Heading north along the western slope and going around to the front of the Indian army?

Hardly!

It's very simple, more than ten kilometers to the north, there is no way to go after passing the last outpost, even the most powerful special forces cannot climb over the more than 7,000-meter-high mountain peak with equipment, not to mention that Wang Dong and they do not have cold clothing that can withstand the severe cold.

"We can flip through with our bare hands, without weapons, with only a single radio."

"Major ......"

"You stay here, and after we determine the location of the Indian artillery, send the message back and let the artillery at the Beto base fire first."

"This is going to die!" Xie Chuyue muttered.

Hussein glanced at him, but didn't say much.

It is true to send him to death, but as a Pakistani soldier, when the motherland is attacked, martyrdom for the country is the most basic consciousness.

Musharraf was a little embarrassed, because if it were him, he would do the same.

However, he also understood that such sacrifices were not worth much.

There is only one artillery battery at the Beto base, which is still equipped with outdated M114 howitzers, with a total of only eight, and even if all of them are used, they will not be able to defeat four Indian artillery battalions.

At this time, Wang Haotian ran over with a military computer, looking very excited.
