Chapter 42 Battle
This muffled sound was like a firecracker suffocating in a hole. Then a lot of smoke and dust rushed out of the tunnel entrance. The dust soon spread around the tunnel entrance.
This dark night could have been filled with a thick layer of yarn.
"Fight!" With my order, all kinds of weapons in the hands of the soldiers started.
I can choose not to fight... because our strategic goal has been achieved and the tunnel has been blown up... Although there was a little accident when the tunnel was blown up, only three of the six explosive trucks were supposed to have entered... but because of this
The three cars were mixed into the ammunition truck convoy, so the intensity of the explosion and the degree of damage to the tunnel were actually beyond our expectations.
So... According to my past habits and combat experience, once the strategic goal is achieved, it becomes unnecessary to kill the enemy, because while killing the enemy, we will also suffer losses. In this way, we will use our lives to fight for our lives.
It's meaningless... Most people who work in the army and fight can't help but be involuntarily.
But that was before, this was Afghanistan... The last time I marched and fought, I told me that the road back would be much easier than the road I came here. Why? Because a part of the ammunition has been consumed... Don't underestimate this
The consumed part of the ammunition is likely to allow us to easily escape the pursuit of the Soviet army because of light marching. In addition, the Soviet army was panicked by the tunnel explosion at this time, and there were smoke and dust.
Continuously gushing out of the tunnel to form a good smoke bomb... So fighting this battle is obviously more beneficial than disadvantages to our army!
So it became lively now... The first thing I fired was a few "blown pipe" air defense missiles... This thing was originally used for air defense, but it could be used when firing tanks. Even this kind of missile can be said to be
It is not very useful for air defense... manual guidance. Use it to hit aircraft flying in the sky. The accuracy is so low that it can make people vomit blood. But it is different when dealing with tanks. Especially the stationary tanks...
With just a few "boom" sounds, the tunnel entrance was blown into a flame, which made the Soviet troops scream in panic. They didn't even know where the enemy was.
The fight was so loud that it was rushing...
From this aspect, we can also see that the quality of Soviet soldiers is not as high as they seem... But it is no wonder that they have not fought a war for decades, and even if there is a war, they only fought regular wars and never guerrilla wars. In addition, they have to do so.
At this time, the Soviet Union had two years of military service... In other words, all the Soviet soldiers in front of us were soldiers who had no combat experience and had less than two years of military service... They could retire in two years, who would still stay here
fight!
Just like now. They used weapons to shoot randomly...not only did they not pose any threat to us, but instead allowed us to find targets in the darkness and smoke, especially in our troops, there were snipers...
So with the sound of "bang bang bang...", the snipers almost fired bullets one after another without pause, knocking down the targets in the smoke one by one.
Of course, the searchlights were knocked out by the sniper... So the surroundings soon fell into darkness, which was also the time when we began to retreat... The strategic purpose had been achieved, and the weight of our army's equipment was also reduced.
It also caused considerable chaos to the Soviet army and could not pursue us at all...so there was no need to continue to tangle with them anymore.
This retreat was like last time... Two hundred people were divided into several groups and spread out to and from the scheduled assembly points in the mountains. What surprised me a little was that the retreat process was a bit smoother than unimaginable.
There are neither enemies nor helicopters to chase. All the suffering is almost a battle against the difficult mountain roads and the hot and cold weather... and sometimes we even pluck up our courage to march during the day...
But to be honest, it is really not suitable for marching during the day, and it is so hot that it makes people feel a little unbearable... To be precise, it should not be suitable for us Chinese marching, because we will sweat when we sweat, and we will feel thirsty when we sweat.
If you feel thirsty, you have to drink a lot of water... In this way, no amount of water will be enough for us to drink. It will almost evaporate immediately after drinking it in our stomachs. It will drink and evaporate again...
But Afghans are different. Perhaps because they live in this environment for a long time, their bodies have gradually adapted to this climate... They will not sweat like us, and they are more thirsty than us... so they march during the day to them
It's nothing.
Just like the American mules cannot adapt to the climate and terrain of Afghanistan... Humans are also an animal, and they also need time to adapt to different terrains and climates. But this time can be long and short, and sometimes it even takes several generations.
Adapt... If you can't adapt, you will have only one result, and you will be cruelly eliminated like an American mule.
At first I was still wondering about this phenomenon... Our troops all bombed the Sarang Tunnel, and that highway almost bears 50% of the Soviet army's capacity. In this way, the Soviet Union will not
Are they furious? Since they are furious... why don’t they chase us “culprits”?
The next night I found the reason...
"Battery Commander!" When I arrived at the contact point with the base the next night, the correspondent handed me a telegram and said, "This is a message sent from the base. The Soviet army in the direction of Hakus has already
He withdrew before dark, and at the same time the Soviet airborne troops were also withdrawn. Hakus was saved!"
"Okay!" After hearing this news, the soldiers quickly burst into cheers.
So I found the reason why the Soviets did not chase us... I lost almost half of the capacity, and this transportation line directly led from the Soviet Union to Kabul and then to the second largest city Kandahar... This led to the Soviet army
We have to be cautious. Otherwise... on the one hand, the transportation capacity is greatly weakened and the ammunition supply is in short supply. On the other hand, the front line is still fighting with the guerrillas... In less than a few days, I am afraid that the ammunition will be exhausted.
It is not difficult to imagine what the result will be like... By then, the Soviet cannons cannot be fired, the planes cannot fly into the sky, and the tanks cannot be driven... Even if the Afghan guerrillas hold earth guns and cannons, they can be driven ten times
Wan Dajun besieged Afghanistan.
Therefore, the Soviets had to stop all military operations and use limited ammunition to maintain existing transportation lines and open up the Sarang Tunnel... Otherwise, in the near future, the Soviet army and the Afghan government forces would be afraid of having a meal.
There will be problems.
