Chapter 2 Finding the Hind Trail

Sandra drove over from the town of Landkutel in a hurry with Hamed's team and female agent Buna. She also brought two large bags of cornmeal dough made by the caterpillar and Scherna, which were fragrant. Two vials of Chinese pickled salted dried rodishes, one small bottle of Sichuan chili sauce, and several bottles of Sichuan mustard.

Although the rules are strict, young people are still indispensable to fight when they get together.

Lin Tao looked at Buna, and remembered the "encouragement award" that Sandra had worked for, so he deliberately said, "Oh, Buna, I was too busy in the training camp to forget." You've ever given your boss an 'encouragement prize', right? In our China, a girl's first kiss is generally dedicated to someone who can be entrusted with her life. And the grace of saving lives is generally promised by oneself. ”

Lin Zhumin also added fuel to the fire, "That's right." In China, this is by no means a trivial matter. A young man who accepts the girl's first kiss generally means that he is engaged to the girl for life and must marry home! ”

"It's really fake, that's great!"

Unexpectedly, Buna was very generous, she glanced at Shandra, and when she saw that there was no objection, she pretended to be surprised and wanted to pounce on Yu Songguo. Yu Song's eyes were wide, she immediately raised her hands and shrugged her shoulders, looking very aggrieved for a while.

The girl quickly said to everyone with a look of pity, "See it, see it, it's not that I don't want to." I'm fine, what's the big deal? I haven't found my mother-in-law at home yet, so you let him stay, or take me to China, and immediately make a promise after the wedding. ”

Sandra didn't care about their fighting, she pointed to the sand table and went straight to the point, "The Sharkhand have been infiltrated by Spetsnaz, and just now, the renegades in the Sharkhand tribe have been exterminated by us. It has now been established that most of the attacks in the valley in the last week have been the work of them. ”

"Your whereabouts have been revealed, and the two teams of Spessnaz have quietly withdrawn to Jalalabad. Preliminary judgment shows that they have changed their tactics. According to the intelligence of KGB spies, helicopters carrying commandos infiltrated the mountains on both sides of the valley at night, and after the attack was completed, they quickly withdrew to the territory of the Islamic Republic of the Mountain People. ”

"Dear Sister Lala, they were responsible for the attack that took place in the Hinbock Valley the night before yesterday, right?" Liu Guodong held a cigarette and asked in an intimate tone deliberately.

Sandra gave him a pop, "Exactly, stinky boy." More than 120 camels, mules, and more than 80 resisters or 'jihadists' were suddenly attacked and could not be guarded against. Most of the personnel were killed, only a few escaped, all the munitions were destroyed, and the losses were heavy. ”

Shandra pointed to the sand table again and said to Yu Songyuan, "According to their combat rules, I planned an operation, two large caravans of more than a hundred mules, but they were not attacked in the canyon. Two caravans entered the Islamic Republic of the Mountain People from two places on the border......"

Liu Guodong was slapped in the face, but it was like eating a dense jujube, and his heart was so beautiful that it was sweet. Lin Zhumin looked at his cheap appearance, hated him so much that he shook his hand and slapped him.

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were a little frightened when they heard Shandra's words, and Lin Tao asked, "You mean...... We still have moles within us? ”

"Yes. Their attacks are random, not on every caravan, and we can't find a pattern to attack them at the moment. But it's so precise that it never misses, why is that? Sandra asked, suspicious.

"Where are your two caravans?"

"The caravan has entered the resistance base near Kabul, and the arms, equipment, and food have safely entered the station," Sandra said, pointing to the sand table. ”

Yu Songyuan nodded, he had already understood the strategic intent of the 40th Group Army.

Frequent cross-border strikes have attracted the attention of all parties, provoking the Chinese "ghost" to secretly enter Peshawar. Negotiations between the Islamic Republic of the Mountain People and the Halal Country are underway in Neiva, and the polar bears are unwilling or afraid to bring the flames of war to the territory of the Halal Country at this time.

While they are guarding the border to the death, they take advantage of their military superiority, take helicopters, accurately cross the border to attack, and hit and leave, so that you can't grasp the handle. The people of the Halal country and the M country can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and they can't tell the bitterness.

In this case, Lao Tzu will never look for you all over the world. I'm just going to give you a bunny and wait for you to take the bait!

After the plan of the sortie was decided, Sandra rushed back to Peshawar overnight to deal with and interrogate the arrested members of the renegade Sharkhan tribe.

Yu Songyuan's team prepared enough food, drinking water, ammunition, equipment, charcoal, forage for mules, and beans, and said goodbye to Nur at a little more than one o'clock at night. Elder Khan, along the valley of the Kiyani River behind the village of the Torham tribe, headed for the mountains. The temperature was around zero that night, and the north wind was blowing strongly, which was very cold.

All commandos are equipped with polar bear equipment.

In addition to carrying weapons and ammunition, each team member also had to carry a light down combat uniform, a thin tweed short coat, a light down sleeping bag, and food rations for five to ten days. The rations consisted of compressed biscuits, concentrated porridge, sauce and vitamin tablets, two military kettles filled with drinking water, and a water filter. Each carries an Airborne Forces RD-54 type backpack, several auxiliary pockets, in which grenades, supplementary rations, etc. are placed.

The caravan followed the path along the river, stepping through the thick snow, all the way to the east. The white horse camelized Yu Songyuan and the small landlord, with a mule team, and walked slowly. Noor. Elder Khan sent two guides, both of whom were in their thirties and strong, and they rode local bantam mules, together with Lin Zhumin and Abdullah, two sharp soldiers, and walked about 100 meters at the front of the procession.

After Sabusidin and Liu Guodong broke off, they held their guns and walked at the end of the queue 100 meters.

It is located in the middle of the Khyber Mountains, on both sides of the river, and many places are cliffs. From time to time, the mule team had to follow the path, climbing hill after hill. Mules have strong endurance and are suitable for mountaineering. When climbing, the team members will come down and lead the mules to reduce their physical exertion. At the same time, walking and climbing the mountain is also for warmth.

Only small landlords, too lazy not to want to move. With its head curled up under its belly, it was as steady as a rock and slept soundly no matter whether the white horse was going up or down. Along the way, it slept non-stop.

At daybreak, the caravan set up camp in a valley at the end of the river to feed the mules on the forage, and the caravan rested in their tents. Liu Guodong lit a charcoal fire with charcoal in the tent and began to boil milk tea. Drinking hot milk tea, the team members sat around the charcoal fire and began to eat breakfast. The small landlords, like everyone else, ate peacefully.

The cornmeal bread made by caterpillars and Sherna, the side dishes are Chinese mustard and dried rodishes, and the smoked bacon beef of the Torham tribe, although they are all cold, not to mention how fragrant. The squad rests during the day and moves at night. Down the hill was a large tribal village, but the team was not exposed throughout the day.

In the evening, Lazak, who was on duty, used the walkie-talkie to send out an alarm signal, and Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Khatib quickly entered the observation post. Razak lay beside the rocks, while the small landowners faithfully crouched on the rocky snow, staring intently at the bottom of the mountain. "Captain, just now there was the sound of a helicopter in the distance in the distance, from north to south. The clouds were too thick to be observed with a telescope, and the sound sounded like two airplanes. ”

"Keep watching."

Yu Songyuan and the others observed for a while, and then returned to the tent. The crowd was overjoyed at the map, and it was exactly the same as their previous judgment. "These two aircraft are certainly the latest Mi-24P, known as 'Hind'. It has excellent performance, and now it is set out to attack the transport caravans in the Kabu Valley at night. Lin Tao said.

It was already completely dark, and after the team had eaten, the mules had been fed and set off. Quietly pass the tribal villages beneath your feet, cross the road, and enter the valley of the Helaman River. Then follow the road along the river valley and speed up. It is a tribal settlement, and there are tribal villages on both sides of the sandstone road in the mountains.

By early hours of the third day, the team arrived at the Gitel clan settlement. The Gitter tribe is small, with only three or four thousand people, and they all live in a village by the Kabul River, which is actually a small town because of its large garrison. Behind is the mountain, and the stockade is on the high ground below the mountain. During the summer flood season, when the Kabul River swells, it can flood under the rocky slopes on the edge of the village.

At the moment, a large number of flat-bottomed boats are crowded on the riverbank. It has become a busy transit bay, and large quantities of arms are transported upstream from Peshawar, from where they are loaded onto caravans and into the right side of the Kabul River. Then from the border between the two countries, there are dozens of roads that can enter the territory of the Shanren Islamic Republic, and the polar bears are simply unguardable.

It is more than 10 kilometers away from the border line, and it is an important town of river defense, where a halal army anti-aircraft artillery battalion is stationed, equipped with a hand-held missile company, which is responsible for river air defense. However, along the Kabul River, there are many high mountains and valleys on both sides, and from time to time Speznaz takes helicopters to haunt the mountains, and every once in a while, there will be a flat-bottomed fleet or camel caravan that suffers heavy casualties.

From a tactical point of view, Spatesnaz was completely right in this choice. Instead of gambling on luck in ambushes on dozens of small roads along the border, it is better to go directly into the Kabul valley and never return empty-handed.

On the edge of the village, an abandoned courtyard was chosen as a place to stay. The courtyard is very complete, and like the other dwellings, it is a white stone fortress. Liu Guodong fetched water from the old well in the yard and tested it, and it was completely drinkable. He lit a bonfire indoors for everyone to warm and rest, while Sabusidin had already cleaned up the kitchen and started boiling water.

Bilal and Abdullah rode their mules to the town's bazaar for a while, where they bought breakfast, iron pots, plastic buckets, grain, forage, etc. Lin Zhumin and Lazak, with their two subordinates, soon built a stable out of canvas on the side of the courtyard and fed the mules with forage.

In the morning, the small landlord was on duty, and the team got into the sleeping bag and made up for sleep collectively.
