If he had judged the time correctly, the team had already seized the opportunity of two days. Because, after the attack on the 334th detachment of the Independent, the rescue team could not arrive until the next day. Even if they quickly report to their superiors and start the siege, it is estimated that it will take a day and a half. Then they pursued to the border, it would take about two days.

In other words, as long as they can march at high speed without stopping, it will take another day for the pursuers to reach by the time they attack the border post and force their way across the border. Of course, this is in the event of extremely bad weather, assuming that the helicopter cannot take off. If the pilots dare to brave the snowstorm and force their takeoff, the situation will still be very serious, and there will be no carelessness at all.

"Boss, it's close to the border. Find a place to rest, it is advisable to rest first, and then reconnoiter the border defense! Thomas asked in the headset.

At an altitude of about 3,000 meters, the snow is getting heavier and the temperature is getting cooler, and Thomas has found a cave with a strange edge. This cave has four or five floors, and there are even old bowls, clay pots and other living utensils inside. A bonfire is lit inside, and nothing can be found outside.

"Okay, check the cave, make sure it's safe, and get some rest." Liu Guodong applauded.

After Thomas inspected the cave and made sure it was safe, the team quickly entered the cave to hide and rest.

At this time, Captain Vasily, who had just followed the orders of Major Terenchev, commander of the 334th separate special forces detachment, led his Vasily Company of more than 60 people, leaving the Valley of Death and pursuing it towards the Kunar River. That night, they rushed to the river. The captain quickly undressed and crossed the river first.

The soldiers did not hesitate to strip and cross the river, and Captain Vasily ordered the company to enter several unoccupied houses and quickly have dinner and rest. An hour later, continue running and chase towards the border.

The tragic death of Captain Zebuluko and his soldiers shocked and inspired the blood of Vasily's special forces, who rushed to the border at all costs. Captain Vasily knew that he was more than a dozen hours away from the Chinese "ghost". The other side must also be marching in a hurry, and if it is simply pursued, it will definitely not be able to catch them.

But he believed that the border troops must have received orders as well. He waved his division in a hurry to chase after him, that is, before the end of the sniper battle of the border troops, he rushed to the border and flanked the "ghosts".

After the "Plateau Wolf Resistance" hid in the cave to rest, Thomas and the small landowner were on duty at the entrance of the cave, and Anna sat next to them. Liu Guodong looked out, the snow was falling, and the visibility was less than 100 meters, "Boss, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, it is recommended to cross the border in the snow." ”

Yu Songyuan spread out the map, shone it with a flashlight, and said, "Here in the border mountain pass, there is a border post and an infantry company of the Kabul government army. On the top of the mountain next to it, there is a summit post of a polar bear. The hilltop post was not able to get down, and it was a government infantry company that had to be dealt with. ”

He turned to look at Hisalma's team, everyone had clothes, equipment, food, everyone was wearing short tweed coats, and they were all holding brand new AKS-74s in their hands, and their emotions were high. One of the team members had a fever and a red face, but he was still in good spirits.

"Heavy snow and poor visibility make it impossible for the 334th Independent Special Forces Detachment to support the Malawar Glacier by helicopter, and it is impossible for them to pursue the border by tomorrow morning. If we raid the border posts before dawn tomorrow, we will definitely give them another surprise! Liu Guodong said affirmatively.

"I couldn't agree more, this ambush was enough for them to be sad for a while," Thomas said. At this time, they could not tell whether we had gone up the mountain or crossed the river, and the timing was absolutely good. ”

"Even if it is judged that we will cross the river and go to the border and follow after us, it will be a day later. Against a company of government troops, the surprise attack is completely certain! Liu Guodong said affirmatively.

Hisalma looked at the snowflakes outside, but said, "I am against daytime attacks, and I suggest waiting two or three hours, and then doing it at night or night!" ”

Seeing that Yu Songyuan had already made up his mind, Liu Guodong said to Shisarma, "We just want to wait for the night to attack and take you across the border." You and Thomas take control of the team now, and the captain and I are going to scout it. ”

Hirsalma looked at Thomas, fluttered her eyelashes, shook her head a little fearfully, and said, "No, no. I'm not with him, you'll have to leave one alone, or we'll all follow you to scout. In case of danger, we can help you fight. ”

Thomas spread his shoulders and said innocently, "Vice Captain Liu, I'll go scouting with you, she hates me!" ”

Yu Songyuan nodded, and Liu Guodong took Thomas, braved the heavy snow, and sneaked out of the cave. Turning over a large mountain, you can faintly see in the snow that in the valley of the mountain stream at the foot of the mountain, a post surrounded by wind and snow is guarding the valley pass in the mountain stream.

On the top of a hill on the edge of the valley, a few kilometers from the border post, a white pillbox appeared in the snow, and it was a polar bear's mountaintop outpost. Liu Guodong knew that this post was equipped with 122-mm guns, and it was built on a cliff, and the only way for personnel to enter and exit and provide supplies was by helicopters. Built on the top of the mountain, it undoubtedly makes it safe, but it can only enter the valley at the bottom of the canyon to enter the calibration strike. For border posts, only fire cover can be provided.

In the case of heavy snow and low visibility, it can only rely on the calibrated parameters to shoot.

Under the telescope, the border post of the Kabul government army is built on a small plateau in the valley at the bottom of the gorge, with four pillboxes at the four corners of the courtyard wall. There is a stable in the courtyard, and there is a man who is busy feeding the horses or mules. Attached to the wall, there was a circle of low houses, and it was breakfast time, and smoke curled from the roofs. A few dozen meters in front of the courtyard, there is a wooden fence with a sentry post on one side, and soldiers are on duty in the sentry post.

Liu Guodong carefully calculated the relative distance through a telescope, and this mountaintop outpost of polar bears was carefully designed. It is the highest point of this canyon and offers a bird's-eye view of the entire Frontier Canyon. Government posts in Kabul, including the entire border valley, are within range of its 122-mm artillery.

He gasped, the various points in the canyon may have already been demarcated. Infrared sensors must have been installed on major roads, at key locations. Once the target activity is detected at a certain position, it will strike according to the calibration at any time, and there is no need for visual inspection at all. In other words, the snow had no effect on them.

In May 1983, the Political Bureau and the Council of Ministers of the Central Committee of the CPSU decided to speed up the research and development of a new generation of battlefield signal reconnaissance system to meet the needs of the invading army. Soon, the defense industry developed a number of signal detection systems. Among these systems, the infrared reconnaissance system, called "Black Eye", is the most popular among the troops.

The system consists primarily of a network of miniature infrared sensors deployed near important targets, roads, mountain passes and trenches, which relay information to the command center as soon as a hot or metal object (including guns carried by soldiers) approaches day and night.

Another reconnaissance system, called "Reality", is also very popular. "Reality" uses the principle of vibration to measure very subtle ground vibrations, including those generated when people walk. When the enemy approaches the sensor, the sensor immediately transmits a ground vibration signal to the console. By the type of signal, the controller can judge the number and direction of movement of the enemy, as well as the presence of motor vehicles.

The polar bear used a hilltop outpost to completely block this important border passage.

Theoretically, no matter how tight the defense system is, there are loopholes. Liu Guodong did not give up, he observed carefully, hoping to find out the flaws in it. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he still found a gap in the tight defenses. This gap is the border post of the Kabul government army.

The outpost was built on small high ground on the edge of the canyon to protect against the threat of flash flooding in the canyon during the summer. The outpost was separated from the slope of the canyon by a few meters, and the canyon edge was steep, like a cliff, sixty or seventy meters high. There was a pillbox built at the top, and under the pillbox was a small courtyard and several bungalows, which could accommodate a platoon of soldiers. In the event of a battle in the canyon, machine gun fire in the pillboxes can also provide fire support.

Thomas pointed to the bunker on the cliff and said, "Vice Captain Liu, that's the breakthrough!" ”

Liu Guodong is also looking at this bunker, this bunker looks scary, but it is actually a weakness.

If you can stealthily eliminate the enemies in the bunker at the top of the cliff, and then rappel from the top of the cliff to the outpost below the cliff, you can avoid the signal detection system in the canyon. And on a snowy night with heavy snowfall, with the assault ability of Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong, it was not difficult to quietly eliminate a squad of infantry.

After Liu Guodong went to reconnoitre, Yu Songyuan arranged the sentry and took the little landlord and Anna to the bonfire to take a nap. At this time, except for Shisharma and Sentinel, Havash and other 11 team members had already fallen asleep. Ruth crouched on a rock in the cave wall, tucked her head between her wings, and slept soundly.

"Aren't you sleepy, why don't you sleep?" Yu Songyuan asked Shisharma.

"You sleep, I'll just watch you sleep." Shisharma sat beside her son's head like a mother sitting beside him.

Yu Songyuan closed his eyes, but he couldn't help laughing. He knew that he had been running away with her all afternoon on his back today, and Hisalma was moved in his heart, and at this moment his motherhood was overflowing. "Hisharma, you can sleep for a while, too. It is also our duty to flee for our lives on your back today. We are the 'Plateau Wolf Resistance', a fighting collective, and we will not leave a single companion behind. So, you don't have to be grateful! ”

Hirsalma blushed, then leaned her sleeping bag next to Yu Songyuan and got in.

"But I still have to thank you. When we retreated from Kabul, there were more than 200 people, and they pursued and killed them all the way. In the process of escaping, the wounded were left behind...... Some of the wounded could neither be left behind nor taken away, so they had to ...... You are the god of war, and compared to you, we are straw bales. ”

Yu Songyuan said, "You don't have to blame yourself, you are not soldiers and have no training. It was the war that forced you to take up arms, and in essence you were still a group of workers, city dwellers. But since joining the 'Plateau Wolf Resistance', it's different, you have to follow our rules, and you can't give up a companion!" ”

The experience of fighting in the snow-capped mountains has made a qualitative change in this resistance organization, but it has also made Hirsalma and others have a strong dependence mentality. Yu Songyuan had already made up his mind in his heart that after returning to the land of Halal, he would train and arm them to become an important resistance force.
