The Soviet helicopter fleet was soon "drowned" in layers of smoke...... They don't have time to escape, because they only have three paths in the canyon, up, forward, or backward.

Going up is undoubtedly the best option, as you can quickly get out of the smoke by pulling it up, and the higher you go, the safer it is...... Everyone knows this, but it's a pity that this road has been blocked by us with stone rain.

It may be a viable option in the future...... But in fact, this is the most dangerous, because this canyon is very narrow for a helicopter fleet, and it is easy to crash once you turn around, not to mention ...... There will be a hover U-turn process in the process of going forward...... The process takes a lot of time, and there is a spray of rubble all over the head...... So if you do, it's more likely that you'll be killed before you can turn around.

So the clever Soviet pilots chose to move on...... It's better to fly into the smoke than to be stoned to death!

But the reality is often harsh...... They soon discovered that it wasn't much better......

First of all, such a large fleet of planes flying into the smoke and in a long, narrow, winding canyon is quite dangerous in itself...... This is one of the reasons why helicopters rarely make sorties at night...... Although the helicopter has a spotlight to search for targets, the various high and low heights in Afghanistan are like reefs for the helicopter at night, and the helicopter flies fast, and one accidentally hits the reef and dies.

Now the swarm flew into the smoke...... In fact, it's even worse in the dark than flying in the dark...... Flying in the dark has at least one spotlight to shine on, and in the smoke even the spotlight doesn't work.

So the Soviet pilots had no choice but to surrender their lives to God...... Or try to find a chance in it with your own experience and flying skills......

But I'm not going to make them so happy...... The Chinese have a saying called "beating the water dog", and riding this dog into the water will kill it when it falls into the water. Otherwise, when it gets up and comes out, it will have the ability to resist.

I still understand this truth...... So soon another order was given: "Hit!" ”

"Hit!" Zhao Jingping shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Give me a hard beating!" ”

The explosion was not long in coming...... This time it's not just stone rain. Stone rain is indeed very useful...... A single explosive pack can lift a large block of rocks. But the problem is that it can't blow up forever...... Prepare a row of explosive packs in the same section, and blow them up three times at intervals, and by the fourth time there will be nothing to blow up.

So that's where we want to add a little bit of effect...... Mortar!

Hit a helicopter with a mortar? This may be an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration at all under these particular conditions...... The reason is that it is only necessary to put the mortar shell with a time lead and then calculate the time...... Then these shells fired by mortars will explode in the air, which is the air explosion we played with before.

The difference is just ...... In the past, the air explosion was aimed at the infantry, but now the air explosion is aimed at the Soviet helicopters.

Moreover, the timing of these mortar shells was set at the height of or above the Soviet helicopter to explode...... If the shell explodes near the helicopter, the shrapnel and shock wave will undoubtedly cause great damage to the helicopter. If it's a blast above a helicopter...... That shrapnel will undoubtedly come to a heavenly maiden to scatter flowers.

What's even more powerful is ...... If these shells hit the cliffs on both sides, it will set off another stone shower...... Then the smoke-filled canyon was filled with a rain of fire and blood, the rumble of shells, the whistling of shrapnel, and the explosion of helicopters crashing to the ground......

Although we can't see anything, we can imagine that the helicopter swarm here will not end well...... They were like a swarm of flies trapped in a canyon by us, smashing them with cannonballs and rocks...... And the helicopter can be said to be a very fragile thing in this situation, and any random collision in this smoke or a propeller on a rock will lead to very strict consequences, so I really can't believe that a few helicopters can fly out of this trap completely.

But it didn't take long for me to know that there was ...... But there are not many, there are forty helicopters in this valley...... Of these, Mi-8 thirty and Mi-24 ten. Only six came out...... Mi-8 four, Mi-24 two!

While seeing the six helicopters successfully escape from the smoky valley...... I couldn't help but secretly admire the skills of these pilots of the Soviet Army...... I was thinking. If I had encountered this situation in a helicopter, I would have been overwhelmed by the fright, where would I have found a way to survive for myself!

But they just found it...... Except for two helicopters that looked to have been blown up and were emitting black smoke, the rest were almost unscathed!

I only learned about it later from the inside of the government army...... The successful escape of these helicopters was not accidental, they judged at the first moment that the main danger was from the top...... In fact, this was already evident after the first round of stone showers, so the helicopter pilots searched for a recess in the middle of the cliffs on both sides in the shortest possible time...... There are indeed many such places on the cliffs, and the problem is that it is not easy to find such a place in such a short time.

But these pilots did ...... It's easy to say, but I know that it takes a cool head, a super fast reaction speed, and a super mental element to do it.

After finding a place like this...... They hovered there in a helicopter, letting the rocks and explosions blow outside, and they did only one thing...... That's to do everything you can to stabilize the helicopter.

Finally, they waited until the explosions stopped...... At this time, our explosives pack had already been blown up, and the shells were almost exhausted, so we had no choice but to stop. And this is the smoke that has not completely cleared...... So these Soviet pilots drove the helicopter all the way up with their previous impressions, and drove out of the narrow valley "huhuhu".

Of course, at this time, they did not have the slightest mentality to parachute or continue to fight, and when they found the right direction, they flew straight to Kabul......

This battle can be said to have stunned all Soviet troops, including the Mi-24 of the Soviet army hovering at high altitude and the armored units on the ground.

This battle also completely shattered their confidence to continue fighting...... But our offensive has only just begun! (To be continued......)
