Chapter 45: Scorched Earth Attack
The short fuselage, long wings, round engine ports arranged on both sides of the fuselage, and the cockpit are so small that the pilot seems to be nested inside.
This is an aircraft that has never appeared on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the guerrillas already have a certain understanding of the hind, but this new plane has made them feel fear, and the wings are full of bombs.
Standing on a high hill and using a telescope, Mhammad captured the two planes and was immediately shocked.
"Anti-aircraft machine gun preparation, shoulder missile preparation!" Mhamad shouted, and he quickly jumped onto a machine-gun position at the top of the hill, where he could open fire in the shortest possible time if the Soviets flew over.
This time, it was the latest T-8 attack aircraft of the Soviets!
This is a specialized anti-armor ground attack aircraft, sturdy and durable, the key parts of the fuselage, all use titanium alloy armor, at this time has not been officially finalized, and then it will be called the Su-25 attack aircraft, NATO code name frogfoot.
It began to be developed in the seventies, and until now, two of the eight prototypes have been sent directly to Afghanistan to cooperate with the Mi-24 to fight, and during the entire fighting in Afghanistan, it has been scarred, and has endured many machine gun blows, Stinger missile attacks, and sometimes the fuselage is scrapped, and it can fly back to the base again, which is simply a flying tank!
No matter from what direction you hit, there is armor protection, and this kind of aircraft is very difficult to beat down.
And the bomb hanging under the wings, falling, will bring a sea of fire here, although Mhammad secretly screamed in his heart, his face is still silent, he is the core of everyone, if he is shaken, then the military spirit will be unstable.
The two attack planes, gliding through the sky in the distance, did not come towards the base camp of the guerrillas.
Mhammad breathed a sigh of relief, there was no leak here, the Soviets were supposed to be unaware of it, and now, they may just be flying routinely to show their strength.
The attack aircraft went away, and Mhammad stood on the top of the hill and said: "The crisis is over, continue training." ”
Just as he was about to come down from the top of the mountain, Mhammad's eyes suddenly widened, and the wings of the two planes shook slightly, and one bomb after another fell.
In that direction, it's Goster Village!
"Quick, assemble!" Mhammad shouted, his eyes began to turn red and his fists clenched tightly, Soviets! They all have to die!
The rest of the guerrillas followed Mhammad and ran along the mountain road at a rapid pace, when smoke was rising from the depths of the mountains in the distance.
The mountain road was rugged, and after running for two hours, the out-of-breath guerrillas looked at the village in front of them.
There were fires everywhere, all the houses, those made of dirt, there was a fire burning, smoke was billowing out, there was no one screaming in the fire, there was not a single survivor in the whole village.
"Mom!" Aga shouted and tried to rush into the village, he was from this village, his father was gone, only his mother was still here.
"Can't go in." The two guerrillas next to him were holding him vigorously, and if they rushed in like this, they would only fall into a sea of fire.
On the ground, there are still some black things, and Mhammad knows that these are special incendiary bombs thrown by the Soviets, and as long as his foot steps on this black thing, it will burn immediately.
Scorched Earth Policy! The Soviets adopted this policy in order to combat the Afghan guerrillas, but although it failed, it led more Afghans to leave their homes and go abroad.
The frenzied Soviets dared to adopt this way! Mhammad remembered the last time he came to Goster Village, where the people were very supportive of the guerrillas and helped carry ammunition, and the village chief had a very speculative conversation with him. And now, with this fire, the people here are gone.
This is a very cruel and inhumane means, back then, the Japanese invaded China, and implemented the three-light policy in North China, as long as they supported the Eighth Route Army, they slaughtered the village, so that many people in the village no longer accepted the Eighth Route Army, without the support of the people, just like a fish without water, during that time, it was the most difficult for the soldiers.
Now the Soviets have also adopted this method, as long as they dare to support the partisan villages, blow them up! In a vain attempt to bring the Afghan people to their knees.
Mhammad's teeth bit his lip, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"The Soviets are bastards, and they can do it with such brute means!" James, who came after him, was also stunned when he saw the qiē in front of him: "Your Excellency Mhammad, when I return to Peshawar, I will report to the above, we, the United States, fully support the liberation cause of the Afghan guerrillas!" ”
"Your Excellency James, please use your camera to record a moment here." "This is a blatant crime committed by the Soviets, and the whole world should know about it," Mhammad said. ”
Although the Soviets were not afraid of world public opinion, and when they sent troops to Afghanistan, they had already put their face down, but it was still an effective way to get the Western world to support the Afghan guerrillas even more.
"Instructor, is it possible that we just watched our loved ones being brutally attacked by the Soviets? They don't even spare civilians! Khwaja said.
The Soviets have completely touched the bottom line this time, the war has nothing to do with civilians, and occasionally a few are injured by mistake, even if they are injured, and now, it is unacceptable to bomb civilian villages like this.
The partisans are all from the surrounding villages, and the Soviets are guilty of such an act!
"Of course not." Muhammad said: "The blood debt must be paid with blood!" Those two Soviet attack planes are the main culprits in this attack on our villagers, and we will kill the pilot on it to avenge the villagers! ”
The planes in the sky, Mhammad could not deal with, even if he arranged anti-aircraft artillery, he did not know the flight path of the Soviets, even if the Stinger missile, beyond the range, he could only stare dryly.
However, the plane will eventually return to the base, and the pilots who fly the planes will also get off the plane and live a normal life, eat and sleep, although the ultimate enemies are those heads of Moscow, and now, the direct executioners, are these two pilots.
Muhammad's goal is clear, as long as he dares to reach out to the villagers, no matter who it is, no matter how big the cost, he will kill you! Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!
"Second Lieutenant Mhammad, the mountains are a paradise for guerrillas, if you rush into a big city, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous, Jalalabad is well defended, the air base is the focus of their defense, a few heavy machine guns can kill you all, how can you find those two pilots and kill them?" James asked.
"I need the help of my American friends." "I know your intelligence system is very complete, and I need to know the exact information about these two pilots," Mhammad said. ”
Although Mhammad has planted an eyeliner in Jalalabad, Dana is still faithfully carrying out her mission, but after all, Dana is not in a position to spy on the inside of the air base, which only the Americans can do.
"James, I need your help, the tragedy here, you have already seen it, if the Soviets are not effectively deterred, they will still resort to this extreme method of harming civilians, in a vain attempt to make the Afghan guerrillas compromise." Mhammad said, "Please. ”
Mhammad's request was very excessive, and he actually asked the Americans to provide them with information, but Mhammad was the most sincere, and James knew that he could not refuse.
"This is the world of Mus-Lim." James said: "I don't know what level of our intelligence has penetrated, Second Lieutenant Mhammad, I can try, but don't expect too much." ”
"Your Excellency, you must be very interested in these two pilots, they are not ordinary pilots, they are test pilots. The value of one test pilot is more than the equivalent of body weight in gold, and if these two test pilots are lost, it will also be a huge loss for the Soviet aviation industry. Mhammad said.
Now, the Su-25 has not yet been officially finalized, and the prototype T-8 was sent to the Afghan battlefield, just to test the combat effectiveness of this aircraft through the most real battlefield in Guò, and at the same time, this attack aircraft that has not yet been finalized and does not have a flight manual is not something that ordinary pilots can fly, it must be a test pilot!
Test pilots, born as pilots, are more advanced than pilots, they have to fly a lot of extreme states, to test the performance of the aircraft, there will be life danger at any time, for example, ordinary pilots, stall tailspin is almost the tragedy of the plane crash, and they want to deliberately enter the stall tailspin, and then change it out to provide a basis for the preparation of the flight manual.
The Americans can not care about the death of these villagers, every qiē is a show on the political zhì, but the Americans will be very interested in taking out the two test pilots of the Soviets.
Sure enough, when Mhammad mentioned the test pilot, James's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, I'll contact Peshawar immediately." ”
On the outskirts of Jalalabad, airbase.
Originally, this was only the base of the Mi-24 helicopter, and the dirt runway was overgrown with weeds, and the take-off of the Mi-24 helicopter did not need a runway, only the apron.
At this time, the weeds on the runway had not yet had time to be cleaned up, and the Soviet soldiers lined up in a row, only having time to clean up the canned food boxes and shrapnel left on the runway, and the roar of airplanes came overhead.
Two strangely shaped planes appeared over the airport, it swept low over the runway, roared to the sky, and then, after three turns, it flew again, aimed at the runway, and landed.
When the wheels came into contact with the runway, it even turned upside down, and the stout plane still landed successfully.
