Chapter 24: Ambush (2)

Several cars quickly drove up......

But just as I thought, the guerrillas disguised as government troops waved at them from afar, and then pointed to the places where the flags were planted and made a big talk...... I think it's the same thing I just said that there are mines and so on.

You can see it...... Those who drove the car and the Afghans in the car did not doubt it at all...... It's actually quite normal because they have a kind of thinking...... If these sentries were disguised by the enemy, then how could they possibly alert them that there were mines? Just let them go over and be bombed!

So those Afghan government troops took it for granted that this was their own people, and they didn't even bother to verify the number, not only did they not verify it, but they also said words of thanks all the way...... Fortunately, they didn't verify it, and later I learned that these guerrillas were mud legs grown up in the army, and they didn't know what their numbers were.

So the cars quickly went around...... And those guerrillas also made a show, and pretended to be demining behind their backs, so that the cars left this place of right and wrong as soon as they filled up the gas pedal and slipped away.

Looking at the cars that had gone in the dust, Hassan patted me on the shoulder and smiled, "Battalion Commander Yang...... Good thing you react quickly! I thought I was going to be exposed! ”

I just smiled...... This is a miscalculation on my part, I shouldn't have planted the mines so early, but fortunately there is a solution now...... Just let the sentinels keep an eye on the first.

The hands on the watch soon pointed to seven o'clock...... Gunfire and artillery in the direction of Kabul rang out as expected...... It should be said that the gunfire was not dense, there were only more than 300 people in the whole group, and there were only more than 100 people on each side of the attack on Kabul on three sides. Experienced veterans knew as soon as they heard the gunfire that it would not pose much of a threat to Kabul.

But it's the hell ...... The gunshots weren't just outside the city. Almost at the same time, gunfire rang out in the city. There are even a few explosions every now and then...... Later, I learned that it was actually Kabul's inner circle, and a few time bombs were planted in the ruins to add to the atmosphere......

So the gunfire soon became a ...... Funny to say, most of these gunshots were actually fired by Soviet troops.

At this time, the Soviet army was also full of recruits who had never fought in a war...... Of course, they will be much better trained and better equipped than the average soldier of our army, but this does not mean that they are not afraid, especially in Afghanistan, where war may break out at any time and someone may attack at any time...... So their nerves were also tightened, and at this moment the gunshots rang out, and they rang out on three sides and in the city at the same time...... So it immediately stimulated the nerves of the Soviet defenders. And because it was night...... They did not dare to go out of the city to fight the guerrillas under unknown circumstances, so they beat their weapons indiscriminately...... What kind of anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, assault rifles are sweeping outwards...... It's like there's a thousand armies out there against them.

I didn't expect that...... You must know that at this time, the logistics supply of the Soviet Union was still very difficult, which is why the Soviet army had to launch a sweep every two months...... Two months of accumulated supplies and ammunition were enough for a five- to ten-day sweep...... This shows the weakness of its logistics.

But now they're just a dozen...... I'm afraid that we will have to destroy the ammunition that the logistics troops have worked hard to deliver for two days, that is to say, we have consumed a batch of their ammunition just by bluffing like this!

I found out later...... What's even more ridiculous is that the Soviet regiment commander stationed in Kabul also sent an emergency call for help to his superiors, saying that Kabul has been surrounded by guerrilla forces, and there are also riots in Kabul, asking his superiors to provide immediate support!

In fact, this Soviet regiment commander is not to blame...... You must know that at this time, there were frequent uprisings of Afghan government troops or defection to the guerrillas, which directly made the Soviet army extremely distrustful of the Afghan government army...... However, at this time, the army in Kabul was a battalion of the Soviet army and a regiment of the government army...... If the government troops of this regiment revolt, will they still be able to do so? Not to mention that a battalion of the Soviet army is gone...... Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, will also fall into the hands of the opposition.

Later, I learned that there was really a company in the Kabul government army that rebelled at this time...... Mainly because we act too similarly. So much so that the government forces of this company also believed that the Afghan guerrillas were attacking Kabul in response to the outside world.

So it's not just a matter of morale and foundation...... A large number of Soviet equipment in Kabul, such as helicopters and reconnaissance planes, will fall into the hands of the opposition, and will directly cut off the Soviet Union's logistical supply lines to the south!

And so it was just as I expected...... The Soviet army immediately sent a mechanized unit to reinforce Kabul...... At this time, the Afghan government forces were mainly infantry...... The Soviet army mainly used them to go into the mountains to eliminate the partisans. And because the government army is always rebelled, the Soviet army has no intention of mechanizing the government army at all.

In addition, the Soviet army was worried that sending government troops to Kabul would only add fuel to the fire...... What if the government army is sent and is continuously rebelled?

So to be on the safe side, a Soviet mechanized unit was immediately sent out......

That's exactly what I was hoping for!

Merely...... When I saw this team, I couldn't help but be taken aback by his lineup...... Fuck it! This tank, armored car, car lined up in a long line...... I'm afraid there are two battalions!

I have used this Soviet-style armored car, so I know that this armored car is a person who is equipped with a squad...... That is, ten armored vehicles is a company...... There are more than 30 armored vehicles alone!

And we only have more than 200 people in total, can we eat these two battalions of mechanized infantry?!

Especially the two tanks in front...... This tank is not the T62 I saw on the battlefield in Vietnam, it is obviously a more advanced tank of the Soviet Union...... In fact, this is the T72, which was mass-equipped by the USSR with troops in 73.

At this time, I didn't know much about its performance...... But the problem is that the T62 has the ability to fight at night, so this T72 must also have it.

Luckily, though, there were only two...... And to be ahead of the curve, perhaps for the purpose of protecting armored vehicles...... Because the armored car was full of people, once hit by the guerrillas, more than a dozen people were burned alive inside.

Of course, there were also motorized infantry reconnaissance in front of this...... In fact, another role of these motorized infantry is to step on mines in front, but the trigger pressure of anti-tank mines is 180 kg, and the side three wheels cannot trigger anti-tank mines, so these two tanks basically don't have to worry!

"All of them!" Seeing the convoy drive into our ambush circle, I whispered an order over the radio: "Be ready for battle, snipers and machine gunners take care to block the enemy in armored vehicles...... Don't let them spread their forces! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

The company commanders responded in a whisper.

This is the benefit of the Soviet armored vehicles that we have used...... This makes the fighters well aware of the weaknesses of the BTR armored vehicles...... That is, the hatch is open on the side, which is nothing if you fight with tanks in the plains...... But now it's in the mountains, in the mountains with highlands on both sides!

So...... This armored vehicle, developed in the USSR and adapted to the Soviet terrain, is a big problem...... The hatches are open on the side, which means that our fire can directly block those hatches...... If fired correctly, a light machine gun can seal an armored vehicle, and heavy machine gun bullets can penetrate its armor...... So they will soon become the iron coffins of the Soviets!

So...... At this time, I was really worried about the cars that occasionally stood next to the armored vehicles...... Although the car did not have the armor of an armored car, the Soviet troops in it could even be said to have no protection at all. But that's also their benefit...... Those cars are open, as you can imagine...... Once the battle has begun, the soldiers in the car can jump from the car from all directions...... We can't stop it. (To be continued......)
