I poked my head out as fast as I could, glanced at it, and then immediately retracted my head again.

This glance gave me an idea of what kind of defense line the Afghan artillery organized...... They used artillery as cover to form an irregular line of defense.

But it's often this line of defense that is more difficult to deal with, especially at night.

The reason is very simple, if it is a regular line of defense, then we can completely use the air cover of helicopters, and then use the better military qualities of our army than the Afghan army to push forward...... The defense line of the Afghan army will soon be breached, after all, we have SAS of up to 300 people in our team, and their coordination with helicopters is nothing to say.

But now, the defense line of the Afghan army is covered by artillery, and there are a few here and there, which is a bit similar to guerrilla warfare, so that we cannot find the focus of the defense line of the Afghan army. And the Afghan army can even fight and retreat at the same time, that is, if the front cannot withstand it, it will retreat to the rear artillery for layer by layer defense.

In this way, we are actually entangled in this Afghan artillery.

I believe that this is the purpose of the artillery of the Afghan army, to entangle us and wait for reinforcements.

Things turned out to be just as I had imagined, and before I could give the order, Major Hill rushed forward with two teams of SAS players, one left and one right.

It was clear that by this time he had contacted the helicopter to provide them with fire cover.

It should be that the combat effectiveness of the SAS is still quite strong, and under the cover of the helicopter, the two teams of them sometimes advance and cover at the same time, and soon suppressed the firepower of the Afghan army and advanced forward for dozens of meters. In particular, the Bobcat helicopters also played a great role, and they could even go around the rear of the Afghan army's positions and flank the Afghan artillery units with machine guns and rockets together with the SAS.

However, the combat effectiveness of the artillery units of the Afghan army was completely unexpected by us.

Later, when I interrogated the Afghan prisoners, I learned that this was due to the combat experience of the Afghan artillery and the guerrillas...... When the Afghan artillery fought the guerrillas in the mountains, they were often attacked by the guerrillas. After a long time, they not only possessed a certain field combat capability, but even carried out guerrilla warfare against sneak attacks like a conditioned reflex.

Just like what I saw. Obviously, the SAS troops had advanced dozens of meters, and it looked like they had broken through the defense line of the Afghan army. But suddenly, gunshots rang out in the darkness on both wings, and in an instant, more than a dozen SAS team members were knocked to the ground.

Obviously, the Afghan artillery has turned from light to dark, and they make full use of the darkness to disperse themselves around the artillery position, and even manage to lead without triggering, until the SAS thought that the flank was safe, and gave them a fatal blow.

What's even more powerless for the SAS is that these enemies are scattered around and may even be constantly swimming...... Even helicopters can't cope.

"Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Hill shouted at me amid the gunfire, "Looks like we're in trouble!" Let's cover, you take the wounded and withdraw first! ”

"No!" I said, "You go first with the wounded and the troops." Leave this to us! ”

As soon as I said that, I waved my hand at Scar and the others, and Scar and the others consciously led the troops into two teams, one left and one right, and disappeared into the darkness.

"Let's go!" I finally threw a word at Major Hill, and I took Lin Xia to catch up with the ranks of the Liang Company.

Obviously, at this time, the artillery position was already full of flames blown up by helicopters, so if we continued to stay here, we would only be subject to the Afghan army everywhere, so I immediately led my troops into the darkness.

And the reason why I let Major Hill and the others go first...... It's not that I'm so kind.

In fact, I've almost completed the task in this battle, and I've rescued the SAS troops, so the rest of the matter should be a little more effort from SAS, not to mention that the number of SAS deaths doesn't really have much to do with me. So if I can really leave safely if I go first, then I will not hesitate to choose "go is the best policy".

But......

I know very well that the purpose of the Afghan army at this time is to hold us back. That is to say, they are not worried about the troops who stay here to cover, but only worry that the troops that go first will escape, so there is no doubt that the first to go will become a key target for the Afghan army.

Of course, I'm sure Major Hill didn't understand this, because I saw surprise and gratitude in his eyes.

To be honest, I couldn't stand his gratitude, because the reason why I did it was actually SAS as bait...... If the Argentine army will stop the SAS troops, it will also mean that their position will be exposed, and at this time, we who are also marching in the dark, and we are wearing Argentine uniforms, can play an unexpected role.

So I didn't go far with my troops, so I told the soldiers to stop advancing and disperse to hide.

Major Hill did not stop any longer, and continued to attack forward under the cover of helicopter fire...... Although this offensive method is very effective, the helicopter machine guns and rockets almost unintentionally clear the obstacles for the front all the way to the front, and rush forward with the SAS all the way.

But the problem is that the flames from the helicopter rockets will expose the SAS to the Afghan troops hiding in the darkness on both flanks almost without reservation, so the SAS's attack is not smooth, they can only rely on the cover of artillery to leap forward, and in the process of leaping forward, they have to risk the bullets that come from nowhere in the darkness to take their lives.

From this point of view, it is clear that these Afghan artillery soldiers we are facing have mastered some tactics of guerrilla warfare. But what they didn't expect was that another group of troops who were more proficient in guerrilla warfare than them were secretly observing them, observing the sparks coming out of the muzzles of their guns, observing their figures changing positions, and observing the range of their activities......

Just when we thought the time was almost there, I asked Scar on the other end of the walkie-talkie, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready!"

"Aim to end the fight in five minutes!" I said, "We don't have much time!" ”

"Yes!" Without thinking about it, Scar replied, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

"Action!"

As soon as I gave the order, Scar and I groped our way to the location of the enemy we had written down, one on the left and one on the right.

"Bang!" When an Afghan soldier jumped out of his bunker, he was shot down by me.

This shot gave the order to the troops, and in an instant, the soldiers around me each fired a round of bullets at their target.

Of course, the vast majority of people who can really work here are Chinese soldiers.

As for the British soldiers, they didn't understand how we could accurately grasp the enemy's position and shoot him in the dark of night until the end of the battle. (To be continued......)
