Chapter 108: Entering the City
It was a complete trap, and the Soviets made the illusion of an empty force, so that the partisans were relieved to step in with one foot, and the Soviets had long been ready for it.
The 117th Regiment had already been fully loaded, and in the middle of the night, half of the regiment quietly returned.
The outer junction is the first line of defense of the Soviets, and they intend to rely on the outer line of defense to completely attack the guerrillas, and they did it, and the fog did not become an obstacle for them, on the contrary, they successfully blocked the Afghan guerrillas, if it were not for Mhammad and his men to kill the tanks and armored vehicles, the guerrillas would have been eaten to the point that there was no scum left.
Even now, the guerrillas have suffered huge losses, more than a thousand people before departure, now only more than four hundred remain, who, supported by the Jalalabad guerrillas, were rescued from the fire of the armored units, had no longer the will to fight, wanted to retreat, and the order of Mhammad had been handed down.
Rush, rush into Jalalabad!
Still rushing in? Rushing in, it would be simply looking for death, the Soviets had long been prepared and waiting for them to come from the net!
The guerrillas in Jalalabad faithfully carried out Mhammad's orders, broke through the defensive line of the Soviet armored vehicles, and continued to move forward, while the other guerrillas who followed behind, seeing them rushing forward, once again summoned up their courage and rushed along, and a few guerrillas who were already frightened retreated to the rear of the battlefield.
"Boom, boom." In the distance, the roar of huge engines was heard, and the retreating guerrillas, who had already left the battlefield, were about to burrow into the mountains.
At this moment, this terrible roar reached their ears, and they looked up in horror at the dense helicopter formation in the sky.
How many? At least twenty or more! Look at the huge Hind helicopter formation. A group of five was flying in the direction of Bagram, and they were even more shocked.
Helicopters are the natural enemies of the partisans, and in the mountains they can also escape with the help of special terrain, and here. They didn't have anything to do about it.
They could only spread their legs and continue to run forward as fast as they could, trying to run into the mountains.
"Boom, boom." Under the short wings of the two helicopters, puffs of green smoke rose and flames flew by, and rockets poured out of the rocket launcher nest and exploded in the crowd of guerrillas.
The body was lifted into the sky. Countless guerrillas screamed, and those who survived were even more terrified.
The helicopter pilot glides low across the battlefield, with the machine gun in front, constantly firing in all directions, watching the partisans continue to run in terror only to be hit by merciless bullets, which is more like a game.
Soon, there were no more partisans to stand up. They all lay outside the city of Jalalabad.
Street fighting! Street fighting! What worries Mhammad the most is when he storms the city. In dog-tooth melee with the Soviets, the partisans were only familiar with mountain warfare, not street fighting, and even a ruin could be a point of fire for the enemy.
When the roar of helicopters could be heard from behind, Mhammad became even more anxious. The Soviets came faster than they expected, and it seems that they had already taken off from Bagram just as the fog was about to dissipate, and had just completely dissipated here.
The attack was so bizarre. Someone must have leaked it! The Soviets got all the movements of the guerrillas, and in this operation, the Soviets gained so much that they almost killed all the guerrillas, and the only thing left was the hundreds of people they had brought with them, including Mhammad's own guerrillas, and the number did not exceed 500.
The resistance has lost more than half, and this last strength must be saved! As he groped his way through the streets, Mhammad made up his mind.
If the Soviets set up an ambush in the buildings on both sides, they would have suffered great losses all the way through, and Mhammad could only slowly grope his way forward, but he did not encounter half of the Soviets after walking half the street.
What's going on? What tactics is this of the Soviets? Mhammad felt that he really couldn't guess the mind of the other party's commander, if it was himself, in addition to those armored vehicles on the periphery, he would definitely arrange several more defensive lines inside, and fight street battles with the attacking enemy, which could completely contain the enemy.
The Soviets were so slow to react?
Suddenly, Mhammad figured out something, since the Soviets had guessed that the guerrillas were coming to attack, laid down layers of traps, and shot the guerrillas in large numbers on the periphery, relying on the superiority of armored vehicles and tanks, then it was not necessary to use street fighting in the inner part of the city.
When the guerrillas come in, they must control the key departments, such as the barracks, government buildings, radio stations, and so on, and it is enough for them to be there in full battle, and there must still be strong fortresses one after another, and these hundreds of guerrillas will be wiped out with a single charge.
A regiment of Soviet troops, in fact, is not very numerous, and if it wants to protect the entire urban area of Jalalabad, it will definitely not divide troops to fight street battles.
Although there are still government troops, but in this case, the combat effectiveness of the government army, that is almost equal to zero.
The sound of a hind could be heard in the distance, and Mhammad knew that he had to find a suitable place before the Soviets wiped out the retreating guerrillas on the periphery, and in a few hours, reinforcements would come in from Kabul and Bagram, and he had only a few hours to play.
"Fast forward." Mhammad said: "Rush! ”
Just turned the corner of the street, and saw a BMP infantry fighting vehicle head-on, neither side expected to encounter it so quickly, just when the BMP infantry fighting vehicle turned the turret and wanted to shoot, Herman, who was running, suddenly put the Type 54 heavy machine gun he was carrying on the earthen wall on the side.
The heavy machine gun that Herman captured at the beginning had been blown up, and now he is using a heavy machine gun made in the East countries supported by the Americans, with a 12.7 mm caliber, which can be raised to fight planes, flat to fight infantry, and a high-power weapon for the guerrillas.
Moreover, this machine gun has a strong armor-piercing ability, and the bullet can easily penetrate the 20 mm thick armor steel plate at 100 meters, which is perfect for hitting the weak armor of the BMP.
Before the other party could fire, the machine gun in Herman's hand spat out tongues of fire.
As soon as a few bullets were fired, the gun began to shift, and Herman just picked up the machine gun and carried it on a tripod on the guerrillas in the back.
Only the first two bullets hit the target, and suddenly, on the right side of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle, a puff of black smoke came out, and the engine was ignited!
The turret was also powered by the engine, which, as the engine was destroyed, stopped before the turret could turn over.
In the back, a Soviet soldier jumped out of the aft hatch, bent on his waist, using an infantry fighting vehicle as a cover, trying to attack them.
"I'm coming!" A voice rang in Herman's ears, and a guerrilla fighter he did not know, crouched down beside Herman, picked up the barrel of his gun, and hugged it with both hands.
"Shoot!" The warrior shouted.
Herman no longer hesitated, and did not have time to hesitate, he continued to pull the trigger, this time the muzzle of the gun no longer jumped, the 12.7 mm bullet flew by, and the infantry fighting vehicle on the opposite side was riddled with holes.
Several Soviet soldiers who were dodging in the back, knowing that they could not withstand the fire of this machine gun, wanted to leave behind the infantry fighting vehicle where they were hiding, but as soon as they came out, they were hit by bullets and fell down screaming.
"Rush!" Herman picked up the machine gun, followed the rest of the people to rush forward, just carried it to the shoulder, couldn't help frowning, the barrel of the gun had been hot, the shoulder was burned, and then looked, the soldier who had just been the leg of the machine gun, the clothes on his shoulder were burned, inside, you can see the scalded meat bubbles.
"Rush!" Without frowning, the guerrilla picked up his AKM rifle and rushed forward.
Herman gritted his teeth, and although the machine gun burned on his shoulder, he still carried the machine gun and ran forward.
The Afghan guerrillas are invincible!
Turning the corner, Mhammad was overjoyed, military hospital!
"Fahim, set up a defensive line on the perimeter, and within two hundred meters of the hospital, all of them will become our street fighting positions! The main streets, all mine me! Mhammad shouted, "The rest of you, rush in with me and take control of this place!" ”
This is the hospital of the 117th Regiment of the Soviet Union, but the guards at the door are actually soldiers of a government army! What a great opportunity! When Mhammad swept here, he knew that this was his temporary base.
"Da Da Da Da ..."Mhammad and the others, who rushed to the front, skillfully searched for the building and dodged while advancing, and began to attack the hospital.
When they found out that the guerrillas were rushing over, the soldiers of the government army immediately became nervous, and there were no tanks and armored vehicles here, only two machine-gun positions.
The machine gunner was very nervous, pulled the trigger, and the bullet was fired in the direction of the partisans.
The bullets hit the low wall, and the dust was flying, but then, the machine gun on one side was dumb.
I don't know where a bullet flew in, passed through the door of the machine gunner's head, flew out of the back of the head, and Bai Huahua's brain mixed with blood and flowed onto the machine gun.
The deputy on the side, seeing the tragic situation of the machine gunner, did not dare to move the gun at all, but retreated to the back.
"Boom!" From the corner of the street, an RPG rocket flew out and went straight to the machine-gun position on the other side.
This uncontrolled rocket, with a very high aim and an arc, hit the inside of the machine-gun position.
"Boom!" Together with the machine guns, with two government soldiers, all were blown up.
"Rush!" Mhammad shouted.
The partisans jumped up. (To be continued......)
