Chapter 251: Evacuation

The shelling continued until dawn, every fifteen minutes, each lasting five minutes, punctual like an alarm clock. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Dong and the others hid in the anticline position, not threatened, but had to endure the deafening explosions and dodge the falling rubble.

The Indian army did not launch an offensive and could not do it.

The outpost is on the mountain, thousands of meters higher than the valley, and on the side facing the valley is a cliff and a steep slope, not to mention a human, not even a monkey can climb up.

By this time, Hussein had already received a message from the army command.

The Air Force will deploy more drones, all of which will carry ground-to-surface missiles, which will provide guidance, that is, laser illumination of targets.

It's just that these drones can only take off after dawn, and it takes at least two hours to rush over.

Inside the valley, the Indian army has filled in the big potholes in the road.

Although the FH-77s that shelled the post were still on the side of the road, other artillery units were being deployed, and the first convoy had already left the valley.

In this regard, Wang Dong and others are also helpless.

Xie Chuyue, with a few snipers, climbed to the edge of the cliff and fired several shots at the Indian convoy, which was immediately subjected to intensive shelling.

Although they all withdrew unscathed, not a single Indian army vehicle stopped.

Subsequently, several Pakistani special forces brought in a DShK heavy machine gun from their great-grandparents, but it failed after a few shots, and was immediately blown into scrap metal by the incoming shells.

Without a suitable weapon, Wang Dong and the others could only be in a hurry.

Of course, Major Hussein immediately reported the situation.

At around nine o'clock, the first batch of two "Pterodactyl" 2 UAVs with missiles on them entered the remote control range.

After Hussein's instructions, Wang Haotian took over the two drones, launched all 12 missiles, and destroyed several Indian artillery pieces.

It's just that the drones came too late, and the large forces of the Indian army have already left the valley.

Presumably fearing another air strike, the remaining Indian troops quickly withdrew from the valley without even taking the remains of their fallen comrades.

Because the artillery of the Indian army had been blown up, Wang Dong did not return after completing the irradiation.

After this battle, Wang Dong had a first-hand experience of Musharraf's feelings during the artillery battle at the Kargil Pass.

In this ghost place, the enemy is often visible, but there is nothing to be done.

If Kashmir did not have such an important strategic value, neither Pakistan nor India would have spent a single soldier here.

To put it bluntly, this is not a place to use soldiers.

Not to mention the guns in the hands of soldiers, even if they are artillery, they are often just decorations.

In fact, this is also the key to the decades-long confrontation between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, but they have never broken the deadlock, and neither side has the ability to change the status quo.

Take this outpost, for example.

The Indian army has always suppressed the outpost through artillery fire, and has never launched an attack, because it is impossible to take the outpost at all, even if there is a way up the mountain, attacking the outpost will only send them to death.

From another angle, Wang Dong and the others were also unable to defeat the Indian army post on the hillside across the valley.

Obviously, all India and Pakistan can do is to confront each other.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Hearing what Musharraf said, Wang Dong looked back at him.

"The Indian artillery is now on departure, and it would be nice to be able to reach the artillery positions in the north before dark, and our reinforcements will be able to arrive in the afternoon."

"What's wrong with us?"

Musharraf nodded and said, "I just received the news that the above told us to go back, and the order was given by Admiral Jilani himself." ”

"Give this to Major Hussein, and they'll use it." Wang Dong handed the laser rangefinder to Musharraf.

"We'll take the northern line, down from post No. 3, and we will be able to reach the rendezvous site before dark, and the army command will send a helicopter to pick us up there."

Wang Dong nodded and didn't say anything more.

Musharraf sighed before turning and walking away.

In fact, Musharraf did not want to leave, because he knew that the fighting had just begun, and Hussein and other special forces would have to stay here for a few days.

It's just that he has to leave, because he has long been no Pakistani soldier, and now he has a British passport.

Before leaving, Wang Haotian handed over the military computer he brought to a special soldier, and also taught the special forces how to control the drone.

In addition, the personnel of both sides also exchanged souvenirs.

From the initial strangeness, suspicion and worry, to the current familiarity, understanding and trust.

Although it was only two days, the experience of fighting side by side has brought everyone together and become brothers who share life and death.

The farewell scene was a little sad, and Wang Dong did not stay at the end.

Hussein did not stay, but acted as a guide, leading Wang Dong and them to the third outpost.

At noon, the team arrived at post No. 3.

From here, you can overlook the entire Kargil Pass.

It was only then that Wang Dong understood why India and Pakistan had expended so many troops, and would rather suffer such a large loss to fight for this mountain pass.

It is said to be a mountain pass, but it is actually a river valley that has existed for hundreds of millions of years.

Due to geological changes, the river has long since disappeared, and the valley has risen by more than a thousand meters, but it is still much lower than the peaks on either side.

To the southeast of the pass is the valley controlled by the Indian army.

To the north, there is a valley controlled by the Pakistani army that stretches to Asdor.

In other words, as long as the Kargil Pass is taken, the Indian army will be able to advance along the valley to Asdol and occupy this strategic town located under the Nanga Peak.

You must know that Asdol is the strategic support point of the Pakistani army in Kashmir.

What's more, the strategic highway connecting China and Pakistan passes northwest of Asdor, and along this highway south, Karachi, the capital of Pakistan.

Capture Bastor and besiege Karachi from the north.

Because there is no danger in the valley, the Pakistani army must defend the Kargil Pass.

There is only one way down the mountain, and Hussein only delivers here.

"You are the most powerful woman I have ever met, and because of you, I will change my opinion about women, especially Chinese women."

"You are also the man I have ever met, the least known to please women, but you are not bad at all, and you are a trustworthy friend."

After speaking, Luo Qing took the initiative to hug Major Hussein.

Obviously, this move came as a bit of a surprise to Hussein.

"Brother!" Wang Dong walked over and patted Hussein on the shoulder. "Call me whenever you need to, whatever it is."

Hussein nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.

Subsequently, Xie Chuyue and others came to say goodbye to Hussein in turn.

Musharraf stayed at the end, and Wang Dong did not wait, and set off with the team first.

Wang Dong has the idea of recruiting Hussein, but Hussein is an active-duty soldier, so it is not easy to say it directly, and it is more appropriate to let Musharraf come forward.

Of course, as a special forces officer, Hussein will not take off his military uniform for money.
