Chapter 10 Leap into the Kunar River

The helicopter group like a white cloud was none other than the commando team led by Major General Kolesnik.

They set out from Jalababad, climbed over the mountains along the border between the two countries along the ridge, and then accurately bypassed the positions of the air defense forces from the valley of the Caola River at an ultra-low altitude, and rushed all the way. The red stars on the plane were all erased and turned into the word "USA", and the military and civilians along the way thought that it was the people of country M who were training, and the air defense forces were in a hurry, and they had no time to react at all.

The group reached the sky over the manor, and before the guards could react, the machine guns of the snipers on the helicopter were the first to go off.

The helicopter-mounted "Cliff" heavy machine guns rained down a dense rain of bullets, and all the guards on the four corner towers and pillboxes were wiped out. Colonel Kryudeyev commanded eight Mi-24Ps and quickly occupied the airspace around the manor, providing support, cover and fire suppression. Four Mi-8s, under the cover of the Mi-24P's powerful firepower, quickly landed in the square in the manor.

The 154th separate detachment of 96 special forces rushed out of the helicopter. Major General Kolesnik carried AKS-74, together with Colonel Kharbayev and Colonel Sakhatov, commanded special forces and accurately surrounded the two small buildings on the estate. Undeterred, Major General Kolesnik squatted on the square just a hundred meters away from the small building and established a forward command post.

The operatives of the KGB's intelligence station in Peshawar went out into the ground, blocking the four main sewers under the floor of the manor one by one.

The attack began, Colonel Kryudeyev commanded 8 Mi-24Ps, and carried out a burst of fire on every window of the two small buildings, 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, 30 mm machine guns, S-24 rockets, instantly turned the two small buildings into a sea of fire, into hell on earth, into a slaughterhouse.

Nearly 100 extreme "mujahideen" rushed out of the back door of the manor, trying to forcibly break through. Two Mi-24P 12.7 mm heavy machine guns wiped them out in an instant like a hurricane sweeping away fallen leaves.

As soon as the air fire was ready to stop, the special forces of the 154th separate detachment began a ground offensive.

Major General Kolesnik, Colonel Kharbayev and Colonel Sakhatov, each with a group of special forces, personally attacked the interior and began to clean the rooms one by one. In the main venue, many of the hundreds of extreme jihadists had been wiped out by a round of fire attack by the Mi-24P, and the rest began to resist violently under the cover of the facilities in the venue.

Colonels Sakhatov and Kharbayev each led a tactical group and attacked inward from two gates on both sides. They cleaned the back of the gate with grenades and grenades, and then two flamethrowers turned the venue into a sea of fire with flamethrowers, and the extreme "mujahideen" inside were quickly reduced to ashes.

The battle lasted only 40 minutes, and everyone in the two small buildings was wiped out. Dozens of extreme "mujahideen" who tried to escape from the underground waterways were also eliminated one by one by KGB agents hiding in the waterways.

During the cleaning of the battlefield, it was found that nearly 500 extremist "mujahideen" elements were killed in this battle. More than a dozen Halal Army advisers, Kelly Vincent and three other CIA advisers from Country M, were killed, and the Hekmatyarite nest was completely destroyed. And the 154th detachment of the independent detachment did not suffer a single casualty, not even a single minor injury.

At the end of the battle, Major General Kolesnik gave the order, and the fighters of the "Muslim battalion" quickly boarded helicopters and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

Since the attack took place during the day, the Hekmatyarite nest was again located on the outskirts of the Indus River. After 40 minutes of fierce fighting, the police arrived and the helicopter group had left leisurely. They made their way down the Kabul Valley, avoiding the Halal Army Air Defense Battalion, and effortlessly returned to Jalalababad to avenge the blow they had taken four years earlier.

It was later learned that the Chief of Staff of the Halal Army, General Gul, had accidentally failed to attend the meeting and had escaped. And Hekmatyar and Osama (Ben **), who were cultivated and carefully supported by the CIA of Country M, took advantage of the chaos to hide in the stinking septic tank under the manor, and only escaped with their lives.

After this battle, the Hekmatyar faction was no longer able to resist the withdrawing Soviet army. The 159th Motorized Infantry Regiment and the 154th Independent Detachment left Jalalabad without any resistance or harassment.

……

Let's take our attention back to the scene of the classic surprise attack on Jalalabad airport by ISI Blood Alliance commandos at the end of 1983.

After destroying the airfield, the two Mi-24Ps, one in front of the other, dodged the attack of sporadic heavy machine-gun fire on the ground under the cover of thick smoke, and fled at high speed northeast along the Kunar River valley, a tributary of the Kabul River. After flying for about a few minutes, the two planes pulled up the altitude and flew over the mountains in the direction of the Halal country to the south, ready to quickly fly over the border area.

But at the moment when the plane was raised, two red and green flying lights appeared on the dark sky behind it. "Boss, the two fish that slipped through the net are finally here." Liu Guodong hurriedly reported.

Yu Songyuan ordered, "Lin Tao listens to the order, and the formation is under attack." The long plane covers you, and the wingman quickly retreats and returns to the trading house to hibernate. The long plane returns on its own, no need for rescue! Again, we return on our own, cross-border rescue is prohibited! Again, it is forbidden to rescue across the border! ”

"Boss, take care of Guodong, Lin Tao understands! Lin Tao understands! ”

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he was already in tears, and he didn't say a word of nonsense.

At this moment, it is superfluous to say anything. All the team members also heard it, and everyone had tears in their eyes. Sabusidin piloted the plane, bypassing the mountain outpost of the polar bear, and flew quickly towards the border. Abdullah was hit in the thigh, hurting his bones, and Razak and Bilal managed to stop the bleeding and bandage him.

In the sky above the Kunar River Valley, the two red dots in the rear were getting closer and closer, Liu Guodong suddenly turned around, one returned to the horse gun, condescendingly, and swooped down on the two helicopters in the rear. Because it was a dark night and snowflakes were falling in the sky, Liu Guodong's unexpected tactical action confused the two helicopters that were rapidly pursuing in the rear. When they reacted, the distance between the two planes was only two or three hundred meters.

Yu Songyuan grabbed the fighter plane and suddenly opened fire in advance, and the 30-mm cannon took the lead in pouring a rain of bullets, and a helicopter could not dodge, and was directly hit, and the engine caught fire. The plane plunged headlong, and with a bang, the plane quickly crashed into the bank of the river, and the ground quickly ignited a raging fireball. Another helicopter rained bullets and quickly pulled up to avoid Yu Songyuan's attack.

As they fired in a panic, they did not hit the target.

"Dive, ultra-low-altitude, fly close to the river!" Yu Songyuan commanded loudly. Dark clouds and snowflakes were rolling in the sky, and visibility was low. During the plane's turn, Liu Guodong avoided the smoke. Through the blazing light of the crashed plane burning on the ground, Yu Songyuan vaguely saw the same river channel as Bai Lian.

Liu Guodong seized the opportunity and quickly maneuvered at a low altitude to evade the attack.

At the same time, he obeyed the order and suddenly dived downward, completely out of the opponent's sight. Then in the dark, it flew at an ultra-low altitude close to the surface of the Kunar River. On both sides of the river, there were black mountains, and the mountains flashed back like clouds. Yu Song saw that the other party was adjusting his position and was about to attack again, so he quickly ordered Liu Guodong, "Autopilot, reduce your speed, and prepare to jump into the river!" ”

It happened that the river ahead was straight, and Liu Guodong quickly reduced the speed of the plane to more than 100 kilometers, and at the same time adjusted it to the automatic driving state.

The helicopter was only more than ten meters high from the river, Liu Guodong loosened the safety belt, opened the hatch, hugged the little landlord tightly in his arms, and shouted loudly, "Loyal to the motherland!" The man had already jumped down and pounced on the faintly shiny river below a height of more than ten meters.

"Loyalty to the Motherland!"

Yu Songyuan climbed out of the firing bay, followed by a shout, quickly jumped off the plane, and pounced on the narrow river under the belly of the plane.

At this time, the light was dim, and the two planes moved away quickly, one in front of the other. The pursuit helicopter was obviously more skilled than Liu Guodong's piloting skills, the visibility was poor, and there were high mountains on both sides, and the pilot had quickly adjusted the angle and began to attack along the river. A burst of fire erupted from the helicopter, and far ahead, there was a muffled sound, and the firelight on the hill by the river rose into the air, and the plane was hit and crashed.

Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong only heard the sound, but did not see the scene of the plane crashing. They smashed into the river like two heavy boulders. Although it was a low speed, there was still a speed of more than 100 kilometers, and the huge inertia made both of them turn over a few big heels along the river on the water surface before plunging headlong into the cold and bone-chilling river.

Liu Guodong hugged the little landlord tightly, and the river roared, quickly surrounding and drowning them. The fall was really heavy, the river was several meters deep, and his feet stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river, and the inertia disappeared. Fearing that the small landlord would choke to death, he quickly kicked the water with his legs hard and floated quickly out of the river.

The little landlord really suffered from the old sin, and poured cold water on his stomach pitifully. But when Liu Guodong didn't let go, it didn't move, it was really well-trained.

When Liu Guodong floated to the surface with it in his arms, it immediately raised its head and coughed "uh-uh", coughing so much that it was out of breath and in pain, and it took a while to calm down. This scene made Liu Guodong feel distressed, and he hurriedly patted it on the back constantly.

Liu Guodong felt guilty for his mistakes, if he let go of his hand before falling into the water, with the super swimming skills of the small landlord, he would never be filled with madness. But he was afraid that it would hurt when it fell at high speed, so he held it firmly.

Because Yu Songyuan is a person, he feels better. Before entering the water, he had already adjusted his body in the tumbling, and he was tilting his feet into the water, and the impact was much smaller. He quickly floated up, turned his head to look for it, but didn't see Liu Guodong, and his heart sank. When he was about to enter the water to search, he heard a loud rumbling sound on the water surface in the darkness in the distance, and the little landlord coughed violently.

The two climbed onto the stone bank on the right side of the Kunar River and made a quick climb up the valley.

The water by the river is frozen, and the banks are rocky and covered with a thick layer of snow, making it extremely difficult to walk. At the moment, the temperature was several degrees below zero, and after a short time when I climbed ashore, my clothes froze into popsicles, which were cold and cold on my body, and it was difficult to move my legs and feet.

It was bone-chilling, and he fell into the ice cellar, and his hair and eyebrows were frozen. They trembled and did not dare to stop, afraid that they would be completely frozen as soon as they stopped. They have to keep moving, relying on the heat emitted by their bodies to maintain their motor coordination. But as soon as he stepped forward, the cold iron-like clothes would make a clicking sound, and the skin in the crook of the leg would be painful.

It was the small landlord, whose breathing had been steady, and shook the hair on his body as if nothing had happened. The advantages of the highland wolf living in cold regions are unmistakable. Their thick fur is waterproof, and they are not afraid of cold at all, so Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong are so red and jealous.

At this moment, the two of them can't wait for themselves to grow such a good fur.
