Chapter 110: Armored Vehicles
The battle soon began......
The first shot was fired by Aduzai's troops stationed on the mountain pass, followed by the whistling of shells in the sky...... I know, of course, that this is the mortar that we have arranged in the mountains on both sides of the pass, and that the mortar is controlled by those recruits who have a cultural base.
So when I heard this voice, my heart sank...... Sure enough, Alled's recruit unit was still on Aduzai's side...... This is not a good thing for us, for a simple reason...... Just like our tactics against the Soviet army, these mortars are scattered in the mountains and rely on long range to choke the mountain passes, and we have no way to suppress these mortar positions, while they can inflict considerable casualties on us.
But I soon realized that the form shì wasn't as bad as I thought...... The mortar was thundering and raining, which sounded scary, but only one or two shots were accurate and exploded near us...... The rest of us are 108,000 miles away, and some of them even hit the valley inside!
What is the reason for this? Is it that Allerd's recruit team can't be beaten?
The answer, of course, is no...... You must know that these recruits under Aled are all educated, and they have been learning to shoot artillery with us for a while, as their "masters", we know very well that their level will not be like this, not to mention that the elements of each mortar position have been calculated and test-fired by us.
So there's only one answer...... Aled's recruit unit didn't want to fight us, and it was likely that they were only forced to superficially submit to Aduzai, after all, the vast majority of Aduzai's troops were professional infantry and had combat experience. However, most of the recruits under Aled were mortars and anti-aircraft artillery. or tank crews and other technical arms. Therefore, although the status of the recruit is important, it is still an egg to a stone to really go head-to-head with Aduzai's forces.
I was relieved to see this...... This shows that Alaed is not only not on Aduzai's side, but should be on our side!
So I didn't have any worries, and with a wave of my hand, I sent Scar's agents up.
The reason why the agent company was sent as soon as it came up......
On the one hand, it is because only we Chinese soldiers know about the "preparations" on the No. 1 and No. 2 passes...... This was for reasons of secrecy, and although Hassan's troops were also trustworthy, they were ultimately complicated, and they still didn't know much about it for the sake of insurance. Of course, Hassan also knows about this...... Otherwise, he will be perceived as a distrust of him.
Because these "preparations" only we know. Naturally, it would be more appropriate for us to attack...... Only in this way can we give full play to the power of these "preparations"!
On the other hand...... I hope to be able to use the strong combat power of the Agent Company to achieve a quick victory!
The benefits of a quick fix are numerous...... For example, casualties can be minimized, and this war can be said to have no friend or foe...... Because this is an infighting, the greater the casualties, the greater the losses in the Higio Valley.
For example, it is convenient for the coordination of various arms of the armed forces to give full play to their combat effectiveness as much as possible...... In order to achieve a quick victory, we arranged a large number of snipers to provide fire assistance to the agent company in this battle, and even arranged snipers in dangerous positions in the valley in advance...... To better coordinate with these snipers, it is natural that we Chinese soldiers need to go on it personally.
Another example is that it can intimidate the troops on Aduzai's side...... This is especially needed now that many of the Afghan guerrillas have heard of the valor of our troops...... However, a considerable number of people have not yet had the opportunity to see our combat effectiveness in actual combat...... In the previous World War, most of the time our army was in control of mortar units, anti-aircraft artillery units, etc.
And because of that...... Many Afghan guerrillas still have a thought in their hearts: Although these Chinese soldiers seem to be capable, they may not be able to fight on the real battlefield.
This time. I just want them to see the real strength of our Chinese soldiers!
In the darkness of the night...... The troops of the two platoons soon swooped down on the high ground on either side of the pass in two parts like a pack of tanuki cats......
This may have come as a surprise to Aduzai's forces and even Hassan's forces...... It stands to reason that the forces of the offensive and defensive sides should be two to one to achieve a balance. That's what we've taught Afghans, but now...... The guerrillas on the left and right heights also had two companies, to say the least, and we only sent two platoons?!
Two platoons can capture the high ground defended by two companies? And it's also the Hilleo Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack...... That's too arrogant, isn't it...... Even the Soviets, armed to the teeth, could not do this!
But they soon discovered that these Chinese soldiers did have such strength......
The soldiers of the special agent company are carrying lightweight, long-range, and lethal AK74s, all of whom are agile, and they are very flexible in using various rocks and mounds on the high ground to approach the enemy's position under the cover of their comrades...... Although bullets rained down from the high ground, they always found a gap in their firepower and rushed upwards.
There were more than a dozen ghostly sniper units following them...... They were dressed in auspicious costumes that were very similar to the colors of the highlands...... Like shadows, they quickly disappeared into the high ground, and even if we were close at hand, it was difficult for us to find their existence, except for the occasional gunshot...... to make people feel the threat of death from their guns!
Of course, I didn't plan on them to attack it...... If he is allowed to attack, he may be able to defeat it, but because of the disparity in strength, there will inevitably be heavy casualties, which is not what I wanted.
The key lies in our preparation for these passes......
The fighters stopped when they rushed to a distance of more than a hundred meters from the enemy's positions and pillbox fortifications...... The night in Afghanistan is generally full of stars and moons, which is determined by the lack of moisture in Afghanistan and the fact that there are few clouds in the sky, and more than 100 meters are just outside the night visual range, and further on...... The Afghans will be able to see the figure of our soldiers.
"Ignition!" With Scar's order, the soldiers who attacked the high ground set fire to the wires that had been buried in advance.
Then the entire Chinese army fell silent, stopped its movements, hid in shelter, and waited...... Aduzai's troops lost their aim in an instant, and gradually stopped firing...... At this time, there was a very strange silence on the battlefield, the difference was that the Chinese soldiers were preparing for the final charge, while the Afghan guerrillas did not know that death had waved a scythe at them, and they were still guessing what these Chinese troops in front of them were going to do!
"Boom ......" A few minutes later, a muffled sound exploded on the high ground of the mountain pass.
The reason why it is said to be muffled...... That's because we didn't have a lot of explosives, which was a few blocks of explosives in each fortress, but those blocks exploded inside the fortress...... Our goal was not to blow up the fortifications, but only to kill or injure the people inside......
It is not difficult to do this, because the explosives explode in an enclosed space...... Not to mention that the shock wave would blow up and shock the guerrillas, even the sound wave that was stuffed inside could deaf and stun the people inside.
Needless to say...... The soldiers of the Secret Service Company shouted, "Rush! ”…… Just take advantage of the fact that the Afghan guerrillas rushed forward with assault rifles before they could react from these explosions!
Although the victory was already in hand, the fighters were still not careless...... When rushing into the 50-meter range, he threw a volley of grenades as usual, and then used the cover of smoke to kill the mountain pass position......
As for this melee combat, it is the strength of the Secret Service Company...... Not to mention that our weapons and equipment are generally stronger than those of the Afghan guerrillas, and the fighters of the special service company not only have battlefield experience, but are also selected from various units...... And the Afghan guerrillas are just the students we teach, and they are half a bucket of students...... Of course, we know very well how many catties and taels they have, so although the number of soldiers is small, they are like wolves that have entered the flock.
That's not what I'm concerned about...... Because I knew that after that explosion, there would be no suspense in this war, because the explosion had already scared the Afghan guerrillas who were already afraid of the Chinese soldiers...... So it was no longer possible for them to organize effective resistance.
What I care about...... It was the group of snipers I had arranged in advance in the valley...... Needless to say, their role is to snipe and kill the culprits of this riot...... Aduzai!
"Sniper unit, report the situation!" I asked into the walkie-talkie.
"Eleven didn't find a target!"
"Twelve-Number did not find the target ......"
"Thirteenth discovers the target...... But it was too dark and there were too many people fleeing to distinguish and lock on to the target! ”
"Fourteen is also unable to lock on to the target, ask for instructions!"
……
I couldn't help but frown...... That's what I'm worried about, and it's happening now...... The Afghans were dressed in similar clothes, some even with headscarves over their faces, so even though I had a few good snipers on the main roads in the valley, I couldn't get Aduzzai out of the fleeing guerrillas......
"Battalion commander!" Then a sniper reported: "Thirteenth has found three enemy armored vehicles...... They are going to pick up the target with an armored vehicle! ”
"it!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly...... We worked hard to capture the armored car from the Soviet devils, but we didn't expect it to be used by Aduzai!
This Aduzai is not simple...... Knowing that I have an elite sniper unit in my hands, I have armored vehicles ready to protect against snipers in the morning!
"Free Fire!" I ordered: "Do your best to stop the target from boarding the armored vehicle!" (To be continued......)
