Chapter 59: Aduzai

PS: When I came back from Changsha, as soon as I turned on the computer when I got home, I saw that there was already a place on the recommendation list, although it was the penultimate ...... But the soldier is also very satisfied, there are two more chapters in the evening, thank you book friends!

The battle ended after half an hour.

In fact, the battle was fought more easily than we thought...... Of course, there are reasons why we are not prepared to attack the Soviet army, but I think what is more important is that the Soviet army did not train in hand-to-hand combat...... Just kidding, the current equipment of the Soviet army is almost comparable to that of the Yankees, and in some respects it is even more advanced than the Yankees...... Coupled with the appearance and equipment of the AK74, Soviet experts believe that hand-to-hand combat is no longer suitable for this era.

But anything can happen on the battlefield...... Including this hand-to-hand combat, as it is now...... Because of the surprise, we still managed to fight hand-to-hand combat, while the Soviets were very clumsy in hand-to-hand combat because of their lack of training and long-term reliance on modern equipment, which made us soldiers who came down from the battlefield in Vietnam like tigers breaking into the flock...... Rush into the crowd of Soviet troops and fight hard!

The reason why the whole battle took half an hour...... It was because there was a guerrilla that was not fighting resolutely, as I had feared...... If you hesitate or don't move fast enough when rushing towards the Soviets, you will most likely be separated by Soviet firepower...... This was a problem, and several helicopters quickly found this opportunity and immediately circled over the Soviet infantry and cooperated with each other to prevent any troops from approaching......

Originally, we couldn't do anything with this Soviet army, there was a company of Soviet troops below, and there were seven helicopters in the air to cover it...... The guerrillas rushed up and were beaten down in a wave. As a result, this partisan detachment was quickly routed.

Seeing this, I secretly said that it was not good...... If this company of the Soviet army takes advantage of the fact that we are still fighting with other Soviet troops and cannot spare a move, it will build a position and organize a defensive line. Then rely on the cover of helicopters and long-range artillery...... I'm afraid we can't do anything about them.

But just when I was thinking about what to do with this partisan detachment. Something surprising happened to me...... The Soviet company chose to flee......

Thinking about it later, it was not surprising that the Soviet army ...... An army that has not fought for decades, and the Soviet Union at this time should say that life is good, and when life is good, it becomes afraid of death...... This is human nature, like the average life expectancy of Afghans is only 42 years, and life is very difficult in normal times, and dying on the battlefield is often a glorious relief for them. But the Soviets were different...... They have so much to be nostalgic about, a good life, a warm family, an understanding girlfriend, and so on.

And so it's like what I'm seeing now. The Afghan guerrillas were beaten to the point that there were few men left, but they still held their guns and confronted each other from afar, while the Soviets took the opportunity to leave their comrades who were fighting hard and fled...... They are afraid that if they don't run away, they will soon become like these comrades!

The helicopter was still going to fight again...... But as soon as they saw that the infantry below had run away, the other Soviet infantry were in a mess with the enemy, and they couldn't help at all, and their ammunition and fuel were running out at this time, so they had no choice but to retreat with the infantry.

The helicopter and the Soviet troops of that company withdrew like this...... The Soviet troops who were entangled by us had no will to fight at all, and those who still had a chance even fled with them, and those who didn't have a chance raised their hands and handed over their weapons.

"This is the Soviet devil?" After this battle, Liang Lianbing was a little unconvinced: "And it's still a well-trained airborne force in the Soviet Union?" That's it? ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly...... What kind of army we are, not just fought on the battlefield. Moreover, each member was still selected from the 40 division, and it was strange that the Soviet army would withstand our attack.

Then I didn't care about cleaning up the battlefield...... With a few guards, he went straight to the bombed-out ground in the valley.

Soon we found Pesur and his party in a scorching cave filled with dead bodies...... Seeing how nervous they looked, they almost beat us up as if we were Soviets. Fortunately, Sahyde shouted quickly and stopped them in time.

"Chinese friends!" After a dark-faced Afghan recognized me. Hurriedly put away his gun and ran up and said, "Thank you for taking the Soviets...... Pesul ......"

"What's wrong with Pesur?" Looking at the Afghan's expression, I knew that Pesul was more than lucky.

Sure enough, the Afghan shook his head and replied, "Pesul is wounded......"

Without saying a word, I went into the cave with the guards...... When I saw Pesur, I couldn't believe that he was the calm old man I had seen before, his face was pale, covered in dirt and blood, and his left foot was a mess of bandages, but none of them looked like they should be......

"Pesul stepped on a mine!" An Afghan explained: "It was dropped from a helicopter by the Soviets, and we didn't see it last night when we moved positions, so we ......."

Needless to say, it is very likely that the Soviets knew that Pesur was injured and launched a final attack around this place......

"Chinese friends!" The Afghan asked anxiously, "Do you have a cure for Pesul?" Help us! ”

I looked at Pesul's left foot and shook my head wordlessly...... This is no ordinary injury, Pesur's entire foot has been blown up by a mine, and Pesul is still an old man...... And it's a good night's walk from our base, so the chances of curing him are almost zero.

"Dear friend!" At this time, Pesul opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was me, he struggled to sit up, but I was quickly stopped.

"Rest well, the Soviet army has already let us run away!" I said, "You're safe for now!" ”

Pesur shook his head and said, "Dear friend, I regret not listening to your advice...... You are right, we should cooperate with you, only in this way can we withstand the attack of the Soviet army......"

"We're late!"

"No, dear friend!" Pesul replied, "You have helped us a lot...... You guys can be trusted, I think...... Before I die, I will give you the valley of Higio......"

As he spoke, he said to the Afghan man beside him, "This is Aduzai, I will let him lead my army and let him obey your orders...... Dear Chinese friends, I hope you can help him defend the Xijieo Valley and the people of the valley......"

Pesul's voice grew lower and lower, and at last he tilted his head and was no longer angry.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart...... Aside from the unrealistic idealism of Pesul, Pesul can be said to be a very good Afghan, he is very wise, and he is always trying to change his country, to make his country better, to make life better for the people in his sphere of influence...... He was the first wise man I met in Afghanistan that I admired.

This is very rare in Afghanistan, where the standard of living is backward and the education process is low, but he is such a wise man...... He passed away after only a few encounters with me......

Watching Pessul's body be covered and carried away, I had mixed feelings...... From a military and interest point of view, such an outcome should be the most desirable now...... Not only did we enter the Higio Valley, but we even took over the guerrillas in the Higio Valley. But personally...... But I don't want that to end. Because unconsciously...... I don't know when I thought of Pesur as a friend.

"Chinese friends!" After a long silence, Aduzai saluted me and said, "I believe Pesur's words, only you can protect the valley and the people of Shijeo, and we obey your arrangement!" ”

"We obey your arrangement!"

……

The other Afghans said in unison.

I'm not surprised by this, because the harsh reality is now in front of them...... Either accept my leadership, or be eliminated from this battlefield by the Soviet army. The price of the latter is clearly not acceptable to them, so they can only choose the former.

"How many of you are left?" I asked.

Of course, this is what I am most concerned about, because this valley of Shigio is a fifty-kilometre long valley that cannot be defended without a few thousand men.

"I don't know the exact number yet!" Aduzai thought for a moment and replied: "Because many of our troops have been scattered, some are hiding in other caves, some have fled to the mountains...... But I'm sure they'd come back soon if they knew that the Soviet army had been defeated by us! Sigh...... There will be six or seven hundred warriors! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, these six or seven hundred warriors plus more than a thousand people in our hands, there will be almost two thousand, and guarding this valley is about the same, after all, in my thoughts...... Against the Soviet army, it should not be a dead defense, but a drag defense...... In fact, it is the "active defense" that I discussed when I had a meeting in China...... This trick has not been used in China, but it may be used first in Afghanistan.

The key question is...... The Afghan guerrillas are uneven, and they are not trained in a day or two.

What's more...... I'm afraid that the Soviets won't give us time to train and develop, after all, after this battle, I think they already know which unit is in the Shigio Valley...... This is obvious, because we use AK74s, and we are the only army in Afghanistan that is equipped with so many AK74s, so of course the Soviet army will think of the previous two attacks! (To be continued......)
