Chapter 59: The 108th Division

86_86072 military aircraft are all monsters that drink oil, and they often consume tons of fuel, and air bases need to store a large amount of fuel.

It is too dangerous to put it directly on the ground, except for tank trucks, the fuel is stored zĂ i underground.

The T-8 attack aircraft was about to be officially finalized, and the first time it was stationed at the base in Jalalabad, so the base here stored more fuel to prepare for the arrival of new attack aircraft, and as a result, hundreds of tons of fuel were ignited in this way.

If it was just a rocket attack, when the attack was over, the airfield here could still be repaired, and now, the fuel has been detonated, and the entire base has been completely destroyed in the violent explosion of the fuel, and all the underlying geological formations of the entire base have been changed, and this place has been completely destroyed.

Moreover, with the fuel detonated, there was a sea of fire everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before the ammunition stored in the arsenal was detonated.

Returning to his own people, Mhammad turned his head to look at the fire, and was very satisfied with the result of the day.

Originally, Mhammad was still doubting the effect of these twenty rockets, after all, they were only 107 mm caliber, and their power was limited, and after the second explosion, the effect was too satisfactory to Mhammad.

Mhammad got on his horse and waved at his men, and the whole team quickly disappeared into the field, leaving only the horseshoe prints.

Thirty minutes later, Jalalabad's troops hurried from the city, and what appeared to their eyes was still the fire and smoke, the ammunition had passed, and the entire air base was in ruins.

Facing the scene in front of him, the commander of the 108th Regiment of the 117th Division of the 40th Group Army, Colonel Scherge, had a stern face.

This is his defense zone, those damned guerrillas, who actually destroyed the airfield! This is a military base, the most heavily defended place!

Now, the entire Afghan region has been pacified, only a small group of Afghan guerrillas are active, there is no need to be afraid at all, on the surface, Afghanistan has been firmly in the hands of the Soviet army, but in front of them, the military airfield that appeared was bombed, which shows that the Afghan guerrillas have formed a very powerful force, dare to attack the airport today, and dare to hit Jalalabad tomorrow!

This is absolutely not allowed!

"Call Ilyich here!" Scherge said through gritted teeth.

Here was attacked by the guerrillas, and the commander of the base, Ilyich, bears the greatest responsibility!

"Report, Ilyich has died honorably, and in the command tower, His Excellency Ilyich was burned to death." After a long time, one of the guards beside him said.

Ilyich is dead? Serge was stunned for a moment, this place was attacked by the guerrillas like this, with heavy losses, more than a dozen planes, especially the Il-76 transport plane, on which there were elite units of the KGB, plus the troops guarding, ground staff, the Moscow side did not know how angry it should be, even if Ilyich lived, he would not escape the trial of the military justice department when he returned, he died, and he could leave something for his family, such as a hero's badge.

If he is alive, he will be brought back to Moscow to stand trial, and as soon as he dies, he will be portrayed as a hero, a brave man who defends the air base, fights bravely, so that he can cover up the incompetence of the Soviet army.

He died, he was relieved, and the troubles here fell on him.

"Report, the division commander, Major General Kulikov, is flying to Jalalabad from the Bagram division headquarters and is expected to arrive in Jalalabad in half an hour." At this moment, the communicator reported to Schergei.

The division commander is here! Immediately after the attack on the air base here, the division commander flew in from the division headquarters, showing that he attached great importance to this place! As soon as Scherge knew that he had to find out the truth here within half an hour, and report to the division commander at the same time, otherwise, under the anger of the division commander, even if he blamed all the faults on Ilyich, he would not be able to.

In the sky, three helicopters made a rumbling sound, two in front and two, Mi-24 Hind helicopters painted as eagles, and the weapon pylons on both sides were full of rockets and missiles, this time, they undertook the task of escorting, and in the protection of these two helicopters, a Mi-8 medium helicopter flew.

In the rumbling sound, a middle-aged man in the cabin cast a sharp gaze on the earth below, the barren land, the mountains, the occasional donkey cart that can be seen, there is no economic benefit here, the only thing that has is military significance, here the Soviet Union has gained access to the Indian Ocean south, breaking the American blockade in Western Europe in one fell swoop!

As the commander of the 108th Division, he had strategic vision and knew how to command specific tactics, and he led the 108th Division to be the first to enter Kabul, and then transferred to Bagram.

Bagram is 50 kilometers north of Kabul and 11 kilometers south of Charikaar, the capital of Parwan province, where there is a large air base, which the Soviet Union used as the main military base, and there is a runway of more than 3,000 meters, from which many military supplies are transferred, and at the same time, the division headquarters of the 108th Division is also set up here. In later generations, after it was acquired by the U.S. military, it also began to serve as an important military base, accounting for half of the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

In contrast, the airfield north of Jalalabad was a small front-line airfield, which initially did not even have a runway, but could only take off and land helicopters, and it was only later that the construction of an airstrip began.

Kulikov's eyes looked into the distance, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, green smoke continued to rise from the ground in the distance.

"Fly over and have a look." Kulikov said he knew that this was where the air base in Jalalabad was located.

The fire had been extinguished, the smoke was still rising, there were ruins everywhere, and the most conspicuous thing was the massive wreckage of the Il-76, and Kulikov felt a sting in his heart at the sight of this.

There are more than 100 elite warriors transported on it! It was the elite of the KGB, and as a result, before they set foot on Afghan soil, they died on the plane, knowing that they should have strongly recommended that they land in Bagram and then rush to Jalalabad in infantry fighting vehicles.

Kulikov suddenly couldn't control his feelings, and his nose began to sour.

"Your Excellency Major General..." Seeing Kulikov's eyes turn red, and then two lines of tears flowed, the division chief of staff Belgrad on the side couldn't help but be surprised, why did the division commander look like this? As a general, even if all the soldiers are killed, they can't shed tears, blood and sweat without tears!

"It's fine." Kulikov tried to calm himself down, but his son's tall and handsome figure kept appearing in front of him.

Before the transport plane arrived, the information of Unit A was passed to the 108th Division to facilitate cooperation with each other, and Kulikov saw the name of his son from above, which was the commander of Unit A this time!

The KGB is top secret, and for the first time Kulikov knows about his son, Klimikov is already a lieutenant colonel officer in the USSR and has also experienced many battles!

And now, with the fall of this transport plane, he went to another world, and his soul, has risen to heaven ...

Therefore, when he heard the news of the attack here, Kulikov immediately decided to come here from the division headquarters!

"Landing at the airport." Kulikov said suddenly.

"Your Excellency, it is dangerous here, it has just been attacked by Afghan guerrillas, and if you land here, I am afraid that your safety cannot be fully guaranteed." Belgrade said.

"The Afghan guerrillas have fled long ago after the attack, so how can they continue to stay here?" Kulikov said: "As the commander of the 108th Division, I am also responsible for this matter, and I must come to the scene to see. ”

Kulikov's order was not to be violated, the helicopter began to turn and head in the direction of the airfield, one hind helicopter first circled around the airfield, another hind landed, the infantry squad carrying it came down, blocked the surroundings, and the Mi-8 helicopter landed.

Watching the Mi-8 helicopter land, Scherge knew that the division commander had arrived, and he was about to return to Jalalabad to wait for the arrival of the division commander, but he didn't expect the division commander to come here!

The air currents of the rotors blew the earth, yellow dust flew around, the cabin door opened, and Kulikov, with a stern face, walked down.

"Report to the division commander, the commander of the 117th Regiment Sherge came to greet you." Serge gave a military salute and looked at the strict Kulikov division commander.

Kulikov just casually returned the salute and asked Sergey: "Why is this being attacked by partisans?" And why is it so much of a loss? Is the investigation clear? ”

If the division commander had come five minutes earlier, Scherge would not have been able to answer, but just now, he found a survivor, knew what had happened, and carefully surveyed the surrounding situation to determine what had happened.

"The defense of the base is completely fine, and within five kilometers, it is the safest." Scherge said: "This time, the Afghan guerrillas attacked us from a distance of eight kilometers. ”

Eight kilometers? Kulikov asked: "How is that possible?" Are they using cannons? ”

"Not artillery, it was 107 rockets, which delivered a covering strike." "On the battlefield in Vietnam, the Vietnamese used 107 rockets to strike at the US ** team, and now, this method is the same, I suspect that the Afghan guerrillas have been helped by some country in the East," Serge said. ”

107 rockets? With Serge, Kulikov followed him to the rudimentary launch platform, which had already been burned by the heat of the rocket.

Looking to the east, Kulikov's face, with a cruel sneer, silently lit a cigar and took a hard puff
