The 668th Independent Special Forces Detachment, established in August 1982, is composed of the backbone of the 9th Special Forces Brigade of the Odessa Military Region, and its external name was changed to "The 4th Independent Motorized Infantry Battalion". The detachment is stationed in the village of Shufra, near the Bagram Air Base, and because it is not far from the Barak Fort controlled by the "Mujahideen," some people jokingly call the detachment the "Barak Battalion."

The 334th Independent Special Forces Detachment was formed on the basis of the 5th Special Forces Brigade of the Belarusian Military District, and also absorbed the essence of the 2nd, 9th, 14th, and 22nd Independent Special Forces Brigades. The detachment is deployed in Asadabad and is the toughest and most secretive of all the special forces units. They are closest to the border, they are stronger, but they are not the ones who can enter the Kabul valley to fight.

The structure of the Spetsnaz special forces detachment is similar to that of an ordinary infantry battalion, consisting of 6 companies and 2 squads. The troop composition consists of 3 special forces companies, 1 engineer flamethrower company, 1 pursuit artillery company, 1 maintenance and support company, a communications team and an air defense team, with a total strength of about 500 personnel.

In order to ensure its mobility, the Polar Bear Army equips each special forces detachment with four Mi-8 transport helicopters and four Mi-24P helicopter gunships. The helicopters were from the 335th Independent Helicopter Gunship Regiment (based in Jalalabad), the 280th Independent Helicopter Regiment (based in Kandahar) and the 262nd Independent Helicopter Group (based in Bagram).

The 50th Independent Mixed Aviation Regiment based in Kabul can also send helicopters to support the theaters at any time. With the addition of helicopter units, the special forces have not only got rid of the shackles of heavy weapons, but also made large-scale adjustments in the establishment of each detachment, which are generally divided into three special forces companies, one mine-laying company, one maintenance company, one communications platoon, and one self-propelled antiaircraft artillery platoon.

Of the three special forces companies, the 1st and 2nd companies are equipped with BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, and the 3rd company is equipped with BMD-1 paratrooper fighting vehicles, BRDM armored reconnaissance vehicles and BTR-60PB (there is also a small number of BTR-70) wheeled armored vehicles. The other 4 fire suppression platoons are mainly equipped with AGS-17 grenade launchers and RPO-A "Wasp" flamethrowers.

"The brothers' squad entered the border area this time, and the main opponents were the 154th Independent Detachment stationed in Jalalabad, the 335th Independent Helicopter Gunship Regiment, and the 159th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 40th Army. The second is the independent 334th Special Forces Detachment, which is secretly stationed in Asadabad, and its combat capability and combat movements are still unknown. "Moore. Khan finally said.

"You want to say ......," Lin Tao asked.

"According to our intelligence analysis, the 154th Independent Detachment and the 334th Independent Special Forces Detachment may have an internal division of labor. The 154th Independent Detachment is primarily responsible for the security of Highway 1 from the border to Jalalabad, as well as all cross-border strike missions. The independent 334th Special Forces Detachment is mainly responsible for fighting in the territory of the Shanren Islamic Republic, and is good at ambushes, tracking, battlefield assaults, etc. Mao Yankai explained.

"Is there a specific combat case of the 334th separate detachment?" Liu Guodong asked.

Mao Yankai shook his head, "No." So far, the tasks accomplished by the unit are unknown. ”

The convening of this meeting made the brothers and squads no longer dare to underestimate Mao Yankai's MLH and Shandra's ISI. Looking at the sand table adjusted by Lana, everyone's reverence arose. Covert operations, intelligence and logistical support, are paramount. Without strong support, the brother squad would have no advantages or differences from the army's all-training units.

And I figured out the detailed configuration of the enemy, how much hard and dangerous intelligence gathering work must have been done by MLH and ISI!

After the meeting, Yu Songyuan organized a number of targeted trainings. Lin Tao's training of the Blood Alliance team is also progressing very well.

A week passed quickly, and Yu Songyuan and Sandra withdrew from the training camp with their team and prepared to enter the Tolham Forward Base. Before leaving, they re-aided Rana in improving its defenses. Fortunately, the 24 recruits of the Guard, although jerky, are already very much like that, and there is no problem with self-preservation.

At one o'clock that night, the men rode mules and quietly marched towards Torham in the darkness of the night.

The equipment had already been transported by the caterpillar in advance before this. The feet of the mules were covered with felt blankets, and the procession walked silently over the snow in the gorge of the Khyber Pass. Although this canyon passage has been largely cut off by the bloody night attack of Spetsnaz. But on the winding mountain roads in the night, there are still camel caravans and even jeeps, carrying munitions and walking slowly.

In the narrow and crowded canyon, you can occasionally see the wreckage of burned-out jeeps and pickup trucks. It seems to remind people all the time how dangerous and unpredictable the road of caravans to transport arms is.

"These caravans are private, they cross from anywhere along the border, and many of them succeed. Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion and gunfire rang out in the distance. The sound of explosions and gunfire came from the territory of the distant Islamic Republic of the Mountain People, and judging by the sound, there was also a loud sound of 120-mm howitzers.

"Another caravan is reimbursed, and every day someone is unlucky. O Allah, take these robbers! Bilal sighed under his breath.

Having already entered the dangerous area, Yu Songyuan ordered in a low voice, "Zhumin, Lazak outpost, Guodong, Sabusidin guard, combat formation, stay vigilant!" The squad quickly formed a combat formation, followed the road, and quietly headed for the border. In order to conceal their identity, they did not gallop on horseback, but walked slowly like other camel caravans.

It's already December, in the canyon at night, the temperature is around zero, the north wind carries snow particles, whirring through, the team members are wearing thick robes, wool felt hats, cotton scarves, thick sweaters and light down combat uniforms, and cowhide cotton combat boots on their feet, still feel cold. The thin moon buds hang lonely in the sky, the light in the valley is dim, and the black and swarthy mountains on both sides stand majestically, giving people a sense of oppression.

All the team members sensed the danger, but they were not attacked, and when they crossed the valley mouth next to the town of Landkut, which was in dangerous terrain, Yu Songyuan once again had a strong feeling that this was probably the forward base of Spetsnaz, although there was no evidence, only a feeling.

Because, he smelled a dangerous smell of blood.

Suddenly, behind the valley, on the section of road they had just walked, there were violent explosions and gunfire. Another large caravan was attacked. Within half a minute of the attack, the valley quickly returned to calm, and Yu Songyuan knew that another private transport caravan had disappeared from this world of suffering.

"Captain, shall we support them?" Khatib pleaded.

Yu Songyuan replied categorically, "No, we will quickly enter the base and will come to clean them up." The others stopped talking, and the team moved forward silently, and at about four o'clock in the morning, they entered the Tolham tribal settlement. Noor. Elder Khan, with several armed bodyguards, was waiting for them at the edge of the village in the night.

It's close to the border, but it's never been attacked by polar bears. The Polar Bear Army rarely attacks non-military targets, so as long as the team is not exposed, it is safe to stay here. In normal times, there are often caravans resting here. Even at night, dogs bark in the village, and people come and go from time to time. The arrival of the brother squad does not attract special attention.

There was no greeting when we met, Noor. Elder Khan led his team into a house on the east side of the village. This white dwelling like a bunker also belongs to Noor. Elder Khan. He lived with his mother in a large house in the center of the village, and after the outbreak of the war, he lived in a tent on the side of the road in the village, always on his guard.

The house has been empty, and the "Saudi" Mao Yankai has invested a lot of money here, and he instructed Nur to do so. Elder Khan quietly rebuilt this place. There are shooting holes in the walls of the courtyard, and there are four small corner towers around the courtyard, which are actually pillboxes. The house with the central spire, the spire on the roof, is actually a pillbox, and the horizon is extremely open.

In particular, it is located on the edge of the village, with the Giani River behind it and the mountains on its banks. Over the heavy mountains, more than ten kilometers away is the Kabul River, a large river. It can retreat into the hinterland of the tribal areas of the Halal State along the corridor along the river, or infiltrate the river valley into the periphery of Kabul City.

To protect against air raids, a huge basement was built under the house, which contained a full-fledged war room and warehouse. Sand tables, munitions, equipment, food, bottled drinking water, medicines, you name it. What is especially gratifying is that the caterpillar also specially stores dried vegetables, dried beans, sweet potatoes and dates and some fresh potatoes from China.

In the Khyber Mountains in winter, vegetables must be transported from Peshawar. And with these things, they can rest assured that they will continue to fight here.

There is a row of stables in the yard, and Razak doubles as a keeper of the breeders, and he has begun to instruct Noor. Two of the people sent by the Khan Elder to take charge of daily life carefully fed several mules. What excites the team the most is that there is also a male dog in the yard. It stood in the courtyard in a friendly manner, silent, and greeted the arrival of its new comrades-in-arms with special etiquette.

When Yu Songyuan touched its head, it politely rubbed the corner of Yu Songyuan's pants to show friendship.

It is completely different from the general's vigorous posture, and its body shape is slightly smaller than that of the general, with thicker legs and feet, and a pure gray coat. It is highly trained, has a natural ability to distinguish friend from foe, and is friendly to team members.

Noor. Elder Khan entered the house, lit the oil lamp first, and then handed Yu Songyuan a pamphlet and said, "Its name is translated into Chinese, and it is called Little Landowner." This is the password and its 'language', and the team leader was specially selected from the ISI Military Dog Centre in Islamabad, and it is your tenth team member. ”

The team members happily hugged its big head and made love, and it was very docile, like a little girl, just like the team members, sitting quietly on the stool next to the table. Yu Songyuan read the booklet first, and then handed it to Lin Tao. The booklet was very simple, and everyone circulated it and wrote it down.

"Send a report to the team leader and arrive at the base safely." Yu Songyuan ordered, and Liu Guodong quickly sent the telegram.

Lin Tao touched the little landlord's head, "With it, it will be much more convenient for us when we need battlefield tracking." ”
