All the way there are cars and planes...... After more than ten hours, we returned to the Beijing base smoothly.

This time, I didn't need Commander Zhang's order, just let the driver send me to the headquarters first...... Don't look at Commander Zhang's appearance that he is always unangry, in fact, he is an anxious person, every time I finish a battle, he always has to listen to my personal report as soon as possible.

I understand that...... There are too many words in other people's reports, and sometimes even if you have lost a battle, you will be described as a victory. So don't listen to my description of the client...... I really don't know what kind of battle this battle is going on.

"Hmm...... Coming back? Commander Zhang nodded at me when he saw me walk into his office.

Look at the expression on his face...... I knew that he had been in a good mood lately, because at this time he was no longer as frowning as he used to be, and he looked like he was bitter and hateful to the documents in front of him.

Sure enough, as soon as I sat down, Commander Zhang told me good news......

"We have just received an intelligence ...... from Afghanistan," Commander Zhang said, "and the Soviet devils are taking advantage of the fact that it is still summer to encircle and suppress the Afghan guerrillas again...... Especially in the direction of the Shigio Valley, the Soviets mobilized a whole division of airborne troops and a large number of artillery, armored and helicopter units......"

"Oh, how's it going?" I asked.

Actually, you don't need to ask at all...... If it was a lost battle, could this commander's face be the way it is now?!

The result was really guessed by me, Commander Zhang smiled and said, "The defense you have set up in the Xijieo Valley is really effective. And Hassan's comrade is really good...... He was not only able to lead troops to fight valiantly against the Soviet devils. In terms of ideology and style, we also closely follow the opinions of our Chinese soldiers...... So the troops of the Higio Valley were able to cooperate with each other. Plus the input of Stinger missiles...... The Soviet devils couldn't bite it no matter how much they gnawed, and they lost more than a dozen helicopters in five days...... This is the disgraced withdrawal of the army! ”

This is the first time I have heard about Hassan since I left Afghanistan...... Anyway, I really imagined him and his simple warriors.

It's just that there are no conditions yet...... Or maybe I really want to call him to say hello.

"It's worth mentioning ......," Commander Zhang continued, "This time the purge is except for the Xijieo Valley...... The rest of the partisans suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the Soviet devils......"

"Heavy casualties?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

When I was in Afghanistan, although the Afghan guerrillas did suffer losses under the Soviets' purging of the Soviets, they did not suffer heavy casualties.

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded: "The Soviets have used some new tactics...... They coerced and lured some Afghans, or used some guides of the puppet army who were familiar with the terrain to adopt the tactics of 'scattering poisoning and setting up ambushes' on water sources...... Now it is summer, and many guerrillas have been poisoned, thirsty, or ambushed by the Soviet devils under the tactics of the Soviet devils! ”

Although Commander Zhang didn't elaborate, I understood what he said...... The so-called "scattered poisoning and centralized ambush". It refers to those sources of water that are more scattered and remote...... The Soviets just poisoned it and left it alone. Then concentrate their forces and set up an ambush near a relatively large water source......

This tactic was of course very effective, and it is important to know that the Soviets could not control or occupy the scattered water sources...... The Soviets didn't have that many troops, and if they used their resources to control the scattered water sources...... They are often beaten by the guerrillas, and in the end, they will return in embarrassment as before.

But poisoning is different...... It seems that all the Soviets had to do was to drop the poison in a helicopter...... This water source was depleted for at least this time.

This forced the already dispersed guerrillas to move closer to edible water sources...... So they slowly gathered together and walked into the encirclement of the Soviet devils.

"So......" I couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "the Soviets can also use the same method against the Shigio Valley, right?!" ”

I'm wondering how the Higio Valley could have been spared.

"Of course!" Commander Zhang nodded: "This has also greatly affected the Xijieo Valley, but fortunately, there are several internal springs in the valley, and the Soviet devils cannot pollute it from the air, and the other people outside the valley are not very clear about this, so there will be no chaos!" ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, it dawned on me.

I'm the one who knows the way...... It's the spring water in the cave, like the Hijeo Valley...... The surrounding area is full of high mountains several kilometers above sea level, which accumulate snow in winter. In the summer, when the snow melts, it seeps into the soil, so the water source is more than just the surface. It also exists in the depths of the cave...... I used to know this, but I didn't care much about it at the time, but I didn't expect that it was the inner springs in these caves that saved the lives of those people in the Xijieo Valley.

"This is good news...... Commander Zhang continued, "and there is bad news...... On the one hand, the Soviet devils have learned to be obedient, and they have won people's hearts...... They now also pay attention to the common people, often receiving medicines to give the people something, and even inviting the elders of those troops back to treat them well...... This trick seems to be learned from you! ”

Commander Zhang laughed as he spoke.

I smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to do this...... Now they look like sheep in wolf's clothing! ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded, agreeing with me.

That's a lot of emotion for us...... You must know that when we fought Vietnam, we kept the three disciplines and eight points of attention from the very beginning, but what did we get? Only hatred!

Now it's the same for the Soviets...... What's more, they are still bare aggression, and they still kill on a large scale at the beginning...... This will make the Afghan people completely change their perception of them, but it will be easier to eliminate the guerrillas.

"On the other hand!" Commander Zhang continued: "Because of this situation...... The Xigio Valley is now in the limelight, so much so that the Yankees are now beginning to guard against our Chinese troops in this area, and now they have begun to gradually reduce their aid to our valley, including Stinger missiles! ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, I knew what this meant to the valley, and it really verified that sentence...... There are only interests between countries! (To be continued......)
