Yamaguchi, also known as "pass" or "saddle".

It is generally believed that the pass is the result of river erosion on both sides of the ridge cutting through the watershed, and that it will naturally become a passage through a mountain range, and because it is usually low-level, the cost of passage will be reduced in stages.

One such pass is the Mamisoysky Pass in the Eastern Caucasus Mountains.

(Note: Hyundai built a road on this pass, from Salda to Chilik)

Captain Fedor was a company commander of the 100th Regiment of the 1st Mountain Division, and they were responsible for holding the left side of the pass, and the other company, the second company, was stationed on the other side of the pass.

Captain Fedor and his men had been fending off the Soviets here for six days.

Captain Ferdo's 1st and 2nd companies adopted the tactic of alternating cover, which simply means that when the Soviets charged the positions of the 1st company, the 1st company would put up a slight resistance and then retreat along the communication trench to the second line of defense, and the Soviets would follow the Germans in pursuit.

Then, naturally, the flanks of the Soviet stormtroopers would be exposed to the guns of the second company on the other side of the pass, and then the first company and the second company would work together to drive the Soviet troops back.

Similarly, if the Soviets were to attack the second company, the second company would also retreat and give up a frontal defensive line, so that the charging Soviet troops would be flanked by two companies of Germans.

German soldiers called this tactic "tango" because the two companies were like two legs in two "tango", cooperating with each other to advance and retreat.

The battle was relatively easy, because Fedor still had time to argue with Captain Hans, the commander of the second company, on the walkie-talkie:

"If this is dancing 'tango', then the second company must be a man!" Captain Hans said.

"No, of course not!" Fedor objected angrily amid the sound of artillery: "We have repelled the Soviets' attacks five times more than you in a row, and we are the men!" ”

"That's right!" Hans said: "The Soviets like to beat women, so they hit you five more times!" ”

"you!" Fedor cursed loudly, and the two of them laughed on the walkie-talkie.

At this time, the Soviets launched another attack, attacking both sides at the same time.

Since three days ago, the Soviets had begun to use a synchronized offensive after noticing the tricks of the Germans, but this still did not change anything.

The reason is very simple, it is more than enough for the German army to block the Soviet attack in one company, and the two sides discuss who will push up first, and the other side will still retreat as before, and then the previous flanking state will be formed.

But......

This time, the Germans soon found that things were a little different, as a shuttle of machine-gun bullets came from the rear and "swished" over the heads of the Germans.

"What's going on?" Fedor asked loudly.

Hans shouted in panic over the walkie-talkie: "The Soviets have gone around behind us, we are surrounded!" ”

"Hold on!" Fedor replied: "They said that someone would come to our rescue at a critical moment!" ”

"Do you believe them?" Hans asked.

"Of course!" Fedor replied: "It was the order of General Freko, and he never deceived us!" ”

"I'm not as confident as you are...... Oh God, they have at least one battalion around behind us! ”

Hans was right, the Soviets did have a battalion that went around behind the Germans, and it took them four days to get there after going around the mountain pass for more than ten kilometers, climbing over a peak at an altitude of two thousand meters, and even climbing over several cliffs.

For this reason, Melskov, who led the team, also broke his own arm, which is still hanging around his neck. His subordinates also froze to death or fell to death during the trip.

But Melskov thought it was worth it, because this was the moment they were waiting for.

"Comrades!" Melskov waved his gun forward with his unwounded right hand: "The time for victory has come, slaughter these fascists and let them know the price of aggression against us!" ”

The Soviet soldiers shouted and rushed to the German positions under the cover of machine-gun fire with their bayonet rifles......

According to common sense, the Germans should not be able to avoid being encircled and annihilated, because they are already surrounded on all sides, and the enemy's encirclement is so small that it cannot be transferred and cannot be avoided.

However, at this moment, Melskov felt a little strange air current, and the "bursting" sound of some motors could be faintly heard in the sound of gunfire.

Melskov looked to the rear and there was nothing.

But the next moment, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was seeing...... A strange plane with a spiral on both sides rose up from a cliff and appeared in front of him, and the dozens of gun barrels under the wings were so numbing to see that Melskov didn't even notice the three machine guns on the left, center, and right under the fuselage.

In fact, it is the machine gun that plays a role, because at this time the distance between the enemy and the enemy is too close, and the accuracy of the rocket artillery is poor, and it is easy to be injured by mistake.

Melskov hurriedly shouted at the soldiers: "Enemy in the rear! ”

But it was too late, and the three machine guns of the helicopter gunships spewed out tongues of fire, and the dense bullets flew up in pieces of snow, and then extended into the crowd of Soviet troops who were charging towards the German positions...... Rows of Soviet soldiers fell screaming, and they didn't know where these bullets came from until they died.

Then the helicopter gunship "swished" in the direction of the Soviet troops on the other side, and a series of flames rose into the air, cutting off the second half of the Soviet assault unit...... This was because of the fear of accidentally injuring one's own people, and the rockets were fired at a distance.

Immediately afterwards, two more helicopter gunships came out of their heads, "suddenly" over the heads of the Germans, and the machine guns below fired fiercely at the remaining Soviet troops.

The Soviets hurriedly raised their guns and fired back, but the bottom armor of the helicopter gunships was thick enough to resist the Soviet rifles and light machine guns...... This is one of the reasons why helicopters are a sharp weapon for high-altitude warfare, and it is rare for the enemy to have heavy equipment in his hands.

This made the resistance of the Soviet troops insignificant, and the helicopter gunships could simply be described as a massacre of the Soviet troops lined up in dense formations below.

To make matters worse, more than a dozen helicopters appeared around, and then from the helicopters slid out of the helicopters one by one heavily armed German soldiers.

"I'm right!" Fedor took the walkie-talkie and said, "They'll show up." It's the first corps, and we intersperse Baku with them, you remember! ”

"Of course!" Hans replied, "You know? I hate them! ”

"Why?" Fedor asked, puzzled, "They just saved our lives!" ”

"Because ......," said Hans, "they could easily get rid of the enemy, but they want us to keep it here for six days!" Six-day ...... Six whole days! ”
