Chapter 55: Over the Pamirs

At noon, a sumptuous lunch was delivered from the military district canteen.

In the afternoon, we will continue with experiential shooting, trying to find the shooting feeling. From pistols to PKM general-purpose machine guns, they shoot with non-stop accuracy. GP-25 gun-mounted grenade launcher for continuous suppressive firing. The special shooting under various tactical backgrounds and various tactical actions dazzled and fascinated the soldiers of the guard platoon.

GP-25 gun-mounted grenade launcher with a firing range of almost 400 meters. And the AGS-17 grenade launcher, the launch range is more than 1500 meters. The 2B14-1 82 mm mortar, with a maximum firing range of more than 4,000 meters, has a K1 collimator and MUM sights, and Liu Guodong's mortar curve is almost pointed. The anti-cline targets on the back of the hill were accurately hit one by one, and the firepower was very powerful.

In sniper shooting, with AKS-74 and sights, it can easily hit a target the size of an egg at a distance of 400 meters. But beyond 400 meters, the lethality is significantly reduced.

The team members all like the Soviet-made SVD sniper rifle, which can easily hit egg-sized targets up to 1,000 meters away when firing 7.62×54mm special heavy steel sniper bullets.

In the heavy sniper experience shooting of the four team members, Liu Guodong can easily hit a tiny target of 1,500 meters with a DVD. Therefore, he chose the gun as his special equipment.

In the sniper experience after the SVD is equipped with a silencer, the effective hit distance is reduced by about 200-300 meters, respectively.

The most eye-opening thing for the guards was the sporting shooting of pistols and assault rifles. This training ground is a field training ground for two infantry regiments of the provincial military district, which is tens of kilometers in size. In the training ground, there are various complex obstacle course training facilities. Yu Songyuan chose the 800-meter obstacle course as a sports shooting training venue.

At a distance of 800 meters, there are all kinds of artificial obstacles, and the team members must climb over one obstacle after another from scratch, and shoot in various postures, and also ensure that they can hit targets 100 meters away.

Since it is in the process of moving at high speed or climbing over obstacles, there is no aiming time for this kind of shooting. The team members use pistols for close-range targets and AK-74 rifles for long-distance targets, and must ensure that they can quickly shoot their guns and shoot when they raise their hands in any posture, and all of them hit the targets one by one.

The accurate and unrestrained shooting skills made the soldiers of the guard company stunned.

Seeing the envious eyes of the soldiers, Yu Songyuan couldn't bear it, and after fighting, the military expert Zuihou also nodded in agreement. So, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, an hour of "enjoyable" shooting time was scheduled for the guard platoon. Bullets, shells are open to feed, as long as you can play, you can have a good time.

But their shooting is much more primitive, the level of static shooting is fine, but sports shooting, and even the entry level is not qualified. Company Commander Zhao was so angry that he jumped to his feet, "People are more scared to death than people." Holy shit, wouldn't this be a death if I let my people do the same business as you? ”

Yu Songyuan hurriedly comforted, "Brother, don't be cheap, your responsibilities and missions are different." If you do my job, you'll be better than we are. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with a roar, two Air Force helicopters landed on the training ground. This is a multi-purpose helicopter after China introduced the French Super Wasp helicopter and carried out systematic improvement and perfection around the "718 Project".

In the early 70s, our country decided to launch a long-range launch vehicle Shiyan (i.e. Project 718) into the waters of the South Pacific Ocean. The 718 mission includes the ship-based helicopter subsystem, which performs the measurement of the low-altitude trajectory of the return capsule, the measurement of the landing point, and the search and salvage of the return capsule. However, at that time, our country did not have a carrier-based helicopter force, for which China purchased 12 SA-321 Super Wasp helicopters from France in 1973 for Project 718.

In 1975, China's military industry began to refurbish around the 781 mission, and successively completed the modification of three types and four aircraft of telemetry, aerial survey, and search and salvage. On May 18, 1980, China launched a long-range carrier rocket to the South Pacific, and the 718 Project modified aircraft completed the salvage task of the return capsule in only 5 minutes, and successfully completed the scheduled task.

The pilot briefed the brothers on the main flight performance of the Super Wasp helicopter, which is no different from the Mi-24P and Mi-8, which are currently widely used by the polar bear on the plateau battlefield of the Shanren Islamic Republic, except for the large gap in power, firepower, electronics, etc. At the same time, the Super Hornet helicopter is a parallel pilot structure, while the Mi-24P is a tandem structure.

The brothers were trained in the flight system during the training camp, and it was not difficult to fly the helicopter. In the following period, under the guidance of two air force aviation units, they began to conduct day and night helicopter pilot experiential training, helicopter basic attack tactics training, and airborne landing training.

For the next few days, they have been at the training ground, holding actual combat and tactical confrontation drills with the guard company. The main exercises are the experiential application of various Soviet-style weapons in various tactical backgrounds. As well as the ambushes of the detachment, battlefield infiltration, airborne attacks, covert assaults, and other topics, the four of them took a helicopter to pick up more than 100 brothers in the guard company.

The guards even dug out their hollow thoughts to win back even one game, but the result was a total loss, and the whole company lost convincingly.

The time for departure has finally arrived.

On the night before leaving, Xiao Yuan held a grand family banquet for them. Xiao Yuchan, who has always liked to taste red wine, but due to poor health, she could only replace wine with tea, which made everyone unhappy.

Before going to bed, Xiao Yuchan was like a big sister, personally making beds and packing up for the four of them one by one. Zuihou was in Yu Songyuan's room, she suddenly hugged Yu Songyuan tightly and kissed his forehead, "Little brother, sister must take care of Xiao Yuan, wait for you to come back!" ”

Yu Songyuan also took her hand and looked at her big eyes as gentle as water. Suddenly I felt that she seemed to be different from the past, but I really couldn't say what it was. So he had to advise, "Sister, Xiao Yuan depends on you." In case of difficulties, Instructor Yu of the Cadet Brigade, Company Commander Zhao of the Military Region Guard Company, and Captain Lu of the Hufang Criminal Police Brigade can all help! ”

Xiao Yuchan pretended to leave Yu Songyuan's room as if nothing had happened, and as soon as she arrived outside, her eyes burst out. returned to his mother's room, hugged his head and sobbed with Aunt Liu's mother and daughter for a long time before finally calming down. But the two were restless, speechless to each other, and barely slept all night.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, a black car stopped quietly in front of Xiao Yuan.

Liu Gu, Xiao Yuchan and Xu Youyu got up early and specially wrapped dumplings for them. Tofu and vegetable filling are very palatable. Seeing that Xiao Yuchan's eyes were dark, Lin Tao was poor again, "Sister, the boss and we are going to travel far away, you won't be so distressed that you haven't slept all night, right?" ”

"Yes, I want to send your four little brothers on a long trip, my sister is so uncomfortable, how can she still sleep." Xiao Yuchan said faintly.

When parting, Xu Youyu cried so much that it rained, but it was Xiao Yuchan, who hugged them one by one generously, and kissed them separately, much like a big sister sending her little brother on a long trip.

Seeing Aunt Liu standing aside and quietly wiping her tears, Yu Songyuan walked over, hugged her and said, "Auntie, you take care of yourself, take care of Xiao Yuan, take care of Sister Yuchan, we will come back after we complete the task." ”

The four of them took a car to a military airport in Feixi, took a military transport plane that "passed by," and flew directly to Wushi, the capital of Xinjiang. In the afternoon of the next day, I took the Air China business jet, and there was only one high-level business delegation on board.

The economy cabin was empty, with more than a dozen representatives and staff of the business group sitting in the front, a few journalists, and only the four of them in the back. The leaders of the business delegation are seated in the front of the business class. The stewardess gave each of them a small blanket, and they wrapped their legs and lay comfortably on their chairs. "I hate flying on civil airplanes, and the '9.1 incident' in Korea has left me with lingering palpitations." Lin Zhumin closed his eyes and muttered.

Liu Guodong expressed his opinion, "The passenger plane has a full set of modern communication, navigation and driving equipment, and Weishenme will strayed into the territory of the polar bear?" This is a conspiracy of the people of country M to kill two birds with one stone, and the CIA is the real mastermind behind it. The piloting and navigation equipment must have been manipulated by the CIA, and the polar bear had to shoot down the Korean airliner. ”

Lin Tao stroked Lin Zhumin's head and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. We pass only through the territory of the Halal Country, not over the disputed Kahuimir. ”

"I fully agree with Gordon's high opinion. I think this is an important event created by the CIA. In the future, country M will inevitably use troops in other places in Shijie. The downing of the Goryeo airliner was nothing more than a cover to attract Shijie's attention. Since the Vietnam War, country M has always created similar incidents whenever it wants to take action, attract the attention of the shijie media, and cover up its real goals. This is a common trick of country M. Yu Songyuan said with certainty.

"The boss has a point, and I feel that way. The question is, where will the direction in which country M urgently use troops now? Lin Tao said to himself.

They were not wrong at all, and sure enough, not long after, country M launched a military operation to invade Grenada. For a time, the beautiful Caribbean Sea was full of smoke, and in just eight days, Grenada was humiliated and completely occupied by Army M.

When the plane crossed the Pamir Plateau, with a bird's-eye view of the "Shijie Roof", Yu Songyuan and his team members were lying in front of the window, staring at the snow-capped peaks under the wings. At this moment, the snow peaks are shining in the setting sun, and the fiery red clouds are swirling between the snow peaks, like a fairy tale shijie.

The Pamirs, in Tajik, means "shijie roof". It was called Buzhou Mountain in ancient times, which was the name of the mountain in ancient legends, and was first seen in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas. "Beyond the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the Great Wilderness, there are mountains that do not match, and the name is not good. ”

It is the western polar region of China, with an altitude of 4,000-7,700 meters above sea level, with an average of more than 5,000 meters. The plateau is high and steep, and it is endless. Gonger Mountain in China, with an altitude of 7,719 meters. Mount Muztag, 7,546 meters above sea level. And the communist peak on the territory of Tajikistan is 7495 meters above sea level. Lenin Peak, 7134 meters above sea level.

The Pamirs have an alpine climate and are a powerful center of modern glaciation, with more than 1,000 mountain glaciers and countless ice Osaka. It is the most difficult and mysterious section of the ancient Silk Road. The local folk song says that the snow covers the mountain in one, two or three months, the rain showers the head in four, five or six, and the seven, eight or nine are just walking, and the road is difficult to walk in the winter of Layue.

It is now the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the Pamir Plateau at this time is the golden season for trade in and out of Central Asia and South Asia on the ancient Silk Road. Although from an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, it is impossible to see the scene below the mountain. But Yu Songyuan can imagine that due to the war in the Islamic Republic of Shanren, the cross-border trade of the people may have long been in decline.

After the plane flew over the plateau, Yu Songyuan also took a nap and had a little dream.

The sky in the distance is boundless, the yellow sand is confused, and the sound of a camel bell from 2,000 years ago seems to be heard in my ears. The vast desert, the desolate Gobi, the endless sand dunes, and the wandering camel caravans, under the call of the camel bell, are slowly coming from ancient times to modern times.

The melodious camel bells of "jingle" and "jingle" are finally gone. "Boom", the sound of tires hitting the ground made Yu Songyuan wake up from a nap. It was already half past eight o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and the plane had landed at Chakra International Airport.

The airport is located on the outskirts of Islamabad, the capital of the halal country. At this moment, it is evening in Islamabad, which is like a garden. The four of them turned their watches back for three hours, eliminated the jet lag, and began to melt into the warm time and space of the warm breeze of the West Asian Plateau.
