The battle lasted all day......

But it's not so much a battle as it is a chase!

Because the whole process is ...... Almost every stretch of the valley was filled with Soviet troops desperately resisting the onslaught of Afghan guerrillas, covering their friendly forces and helicopters jumping out of the encirclement!

The Afghan guerrillas acted as hunters...... Constantly impacting the defense line temporarily built by the Soviet army, chasing and killing the main force of the Soviet army waiting to withdraw in the assembly area!

Some of these battles in the valleys were successful, some were unsuccessful...... This is actually quite normal, because the surviving strength of the Soviet troops in each valley is different, the determination to resist is different, and the Suzhì of the Afghan guerrillas is also somewhat different...... But even if it is a failure, it doesn't really matter to us, because the failure only makes the Soviets run away a little more.

We want a strategic victory...... Whether to run a few more Soviet troops or a few fewer Soviet troops can be said to have little impact on the war situation and even on the entire Afghan war situation!

That's why it's ...... So we didn't intervene in the battle that followed!

On the one hand, it's no longer worth our involvement.

On the other hand, it is because of ...... The Afghan guerrillas also need to be tempered in actual combat, otherwise they may never grow into a force that can stand alone, and now is a good opportunity to train them!

It should be said that the Soviets originally wanted to stabilize their positions outside the valley...... Because at the beginning they did not choose to withdraw their troops completely, after all, there are still a few mountain passes in their hands...... Several mountain passes, such as No. 1 and No. 2, were occupied by the Soviets before I thought of the avalanche plan. It was not only very difficult to place explosives in these valleys under the noses of the Soviet army, but also to expose the whole plan to the Soviet army if I was not careful, so I did not dare to take this risk.

As a result, the first and last passes were largely unaffected by avalanches...... Even the Soviets had already placed tanks on these passes as batteries...... This makes the defenses of these passes rock-solid.

But as I expected...... The guerrillas, who were scattered around the mountains, learned that the defeat had turned into victory in the valley of Chigio. Soon they converged from all directions, and they all wanted to chase the back of the Soviet army's ass and beat it for a while!

So the Soviet army was soon besieged...... One time this mountain pass was attacked by a sneak attack, and the next time the road was bombed, and this battle was disrupted at once, so that they did not know who they were going to deal with or which battle they were going to fight! In addition, they are apprehensive about this new type of anti-aircraft missile equipped with our army, and they do not know what kind of missile it is, and how many there are. Helicopter sorties should be carried out carefully...... So in the end, they made the decision to retreat completely, and this retreat was done before dark...... They retreated in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to drive away from the tanks that had been placed on the passes. Instead, use the explosives pack to do an internal blast!

A burst of cheers soon erupted in the valley, and naturally there was inevitably a burst of gunfire towards the sky!

"Finally let us get through this again!" That's when I was completely relieved!

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, Mike walked up to me, saluted properly, and said, "You guys played so beautifully...... No wonder Colonel Smith was convinced of you, at first I thought he was...... Please forgive me for my previous rudeness! ”

"It's okay!" I smiled softly...... If it was before. At this time, I may have a sense of revenge. But now...... Mike's little thing is just a sesame mung bean's big thing, and it can't cause a little wave in my heart at all!

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Mike continued, "Admiration is admiration...... My mission is to ensure the safety and integrity of the missile, so ......"

"Of course I support your work!" I nodded: "Lieutenant Colonel Mike...... Stinger missiles have helped us a lot in this battle, you have seen it...... Otherwise, we would not have been able to achieve such a big result, thank the US government for me, and ...... I will also cooperate with your work to count and recover the remaining missiles, and I know it...... And only then will you US government give us more Stinger missiles, won't you? ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Mike nodded movingly: "Thank you Battalion Commander Yang for your support." Battalion Commander Yang is a smart man...... This way we can save a lot of trouble! ”

I shook Lieutenant Colonel Mike's hand and said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!"

It's just that what Mike doesn't know is...... At this time, two of the "Stinger" missiles had already been replaced by us unconsciously. Not only was it replaced, but it was also "blown up" on the battlefield to have a "dead no proof"!

Although this is contrary to the "trust" between me and the US military, I know it...... On the battlefield or between countries, the "faith" is actually not worth a few dollars, otherwise there would be no existence of the idiom "soldiers do not get tired of cheating"!

When I returned to the battalion headquarters again...... I can say that I am in a good mood...... The facts on the battlefield have also proved that the "Stinger" missile is a very effective weapon against the Soviet air power!

The benefits to us are great...... Didn't the Soviets block the supply lines of our army with helicopters all the time? Equip the guerrillas led by Chen Qiaoqiao with a few "Stingers" and let them disperse to the mountains near the supply line to lurk, and see if the Soviet helicopters dare to fly unscrupulously......

Didn't the Soviets always want to take our valley? As long as there are enough "Stingers" in the valley of Chigio...... The Soviet helicopters can be destroyed as many as they can say, then I don't know what else they can use to attack the valley!

In other words...... As long as there is a "Stinger", this Xigio Valley will make up for the lack of air defense, and it can almost be said to be an impregnable wall. The only problem here...... That is, the dependence on the US military's "Stinger" missiles is too high, and it may be restricted and restricted by the US government in the future!

The news soon spread to the country...... So a few days later, I received a telegram......

"Battalion commander!" On this day, Zhao Jingping came to me with a telegram and said, "This telegram was forwarded by Major Rana from Commander Zhang...... He congratulated us on our victory in Afghanistan and, on the other hand, ordered us to leave behind the company instructors and some necessary military advisers, and the rest of the units to withdraw to Pakistan! ”

"Hmm!" When I heard this, I knew that things must have changed dramatically, otherwise Commander Zhang would never interfere with our actions, but this time he forcibly withdrew us! (To be continued......)
