Concrete actions were in full swing on the fifth day......

This time was decided by the Soviet side, because the Qiē plan was based on our sneak attack on the Soviet army out of the valley, so ...... When the Soviets will send the next batch of anti-aircraft equipment to the country, we will start to act!

In this respect, the Soviet side had a great advantage...... Because they can have enough time to set up, and they can even set up an ambush in advance at our ambush site.

It's just that what they don't know is...... The ambush they knew of was just a fake. If you can...... I'd love to see what the Soviets look like when they know they're being tricked, but I know we have more important things to do...... That's to throw the Higio Valley back, and this time...... I won't let there be other forces and other dangers in the valley!

We set off the night before the departure of Soviet anti-aircraft equipment...... This is the combat habit of our partisans, the main reason is that we have to walk in the mountains, and the targets are often mechanized troops...... This disparity in speed necessitates the calculation of the speed of the Soviets and then sets up an ambush the night before them.

So time passed...... It was a habit to march to the vicinity of the road the night before, rest for a day, and then enter the ambush position to ambush the enemy in the evening or evening of the next day.

As always...... Few people knew about it when we set out, and as soon as it was dark, the troops quietly assembled in the night. The only people who came to see him off were the instructors and a few guerrilla leaders who stayed behind...... Of course, Aduzai, who is the deputy head of the regiment, is also among them!

"Battalion commander!" Aduzai saluted me and said, "Don't worry, go fight the Soviets, and the valley will be handed over to me!" You can rest assured...... We will never let the Soviets step into this valley! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded: "Our main force is fighting outside...... The defense of the valley is up to you! ”

That's what the mouth says. But I was thinking about it...... This girl is really good at talking. We've really given him the valley on our way...... It is also true that they will not let the Soviets step into the valley. He just wanted to take the valley for himself.

The instructor shook my hand tightly and said with emotion, "Take care! ”

"Take care!" I replied.

Although it is only two short words, both sides know the meaning of these two words, but it is inconvenient to talk about them in detail because there are Aduzai and others by their side.

Then I waved my hand...... Our team of more than 1,000 people drove mightily into the mountains to the north.

Our planned target this time is 2761.7 highlands...... The average altitude of the highlands along the Salang Highway in Afghanistan is more than 3,000 meters, and this 2761.7 highland is already considered low...... It is precisely because the Salang Highway was built on high-altitude land, and since the Soviet invasion, the road has been transporting supplies back and forth almost without a day, and it has been constantly attacked by guerrillas...... As a result, the condition of this road has also become very poor, so it has become very dangerous to transport on this road.

You must know that the road is climbed high and low in the mountains...... In other words, the vast majority of the road is surrounded by mountains on one side. On the other side is a cliff...... Even if there is no guerrilla attack, if you are not careful while driving or there is a collapse somewhere, it will be the end of the car crashing off the cliff.

It is precisely because of this that the Soviet and Afghan government forces will call this road the "Road of Death" and the Salang Tunnel the "Tunnel of Death".

So...... It is reasonable for us to make a plan to attack the anti-aircraft armored forces of the Soviet army...... If we can blow up a considerable number of armored vehicles on this road, then we can indeed cause a very serious jam on the Salang road.

There seems to be something irrational here...... On the other side of the road is a cliff, and if the armored vehicle is blown up on the road or is blown up so that it is immobile and blocks the road, then why not just push the armored vehicle off the cliff?

But it's not that simple...... The reason is that the road built on the high ground goes up in a zigzag shape, that is, the cliff of the previous section of the road is another section of the road. There is another section of road below the next road, and so on until the bottom of the mountain...... To put it simply. If you push the armored car down on the upper section of the road, it is very likely that it will roll over and on the next section of the road, so you will have to continue to push it down...... This will undoubtedly cause great problems for the transportation of the Soviet troops.

That's why it's ...... That is why the Soviets were convinced of our plan: to attack anti-aircraft equipment not for the sake of equipment, but to strike at the supply lines of the Soviet army...... And the supply line has always been the weak point of the Soviet army, and several sweeps and several sweeps and sweeps of the Soviet army were all in vain because of supply problems!

So the Soviets received information from Aduzai...... A series of reconnaissance and placement of the 2761.7 heights were immediately carried out.

Of course...... Their reconnaissance did not dare to come openly, and they were also worried that they would arouse our suspicions...... Therefore, it is just a matter of using high-altitude reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance and making two more circles during the routine patrol of helicopters.

They did the arrangement...... That is, at night, when the ammunition truck passed through the 2761.7 heights, we secretly unloaded a batch, and then on the night of our dispatch, the two battalions of government troops stationed on this high ground to protect the safety of the road were replaced by a regiment of Soviet troops!

Of course, these Soviets were all dressed in the uniforms of the Afghan government army...... From a distance, no one knew that they were much more combat-effective Soviet troops, and they also hid their surplus troops in the fortifications and did not come out to operate!

On the other hand...... Artillery build-up in Kabul and Kandahar also began...... This build-up did not mean entering the artillery position, the Soviets were not so stupid, and the result of this was to tell us that they had set up an ambush. This build-up means that the supplies and vehicles of the artillery unit are ready, and with an order, they can quickly pull to the ground area and set up positions to bombard 2761.7!

It should be said that this arrangement is indeed effective...... A regiment of Soviet troops is similar to ours in terms of strength, and there is also artillery and helicopter support, and if necessary, troops from other directions will rush to surround this 2761.7 height...... Even at night, we are afraid that we will not be able to escape the encirclement or bombing of the Soviet army!

Although the Soviets thought they were doing something very secretive, in fact, this qiē did not escape my ears and eyes...... It should be Hassan's eyes and ears to be exact, and there are many sources of this information...... There were civilians in the vicinity who had been developed into guerrilla services, and there were also scouts sent directly by Hassan to reconnoiter in the vicinity...... Of course, these scouts are trusted by Hassan's men, and they have been trained by our sniper unit...... The stamina of the Afghan guerrillas combined with the theoretical knowledge of the snipers quickly trained them to become very good scouts.

So I know that the deployment of the Soviet troops on the 2761.7 heights is a must-win for us, the question is just ...... Our target is not at 2761.7 Heights, but at 3519 Heights, a few kilometers away!

Don't think that the two highlands are just a few kilometers apart...... But if you really want to walk on this road, you have to go up the mountain for a while and go down the mountain for a while, and you won't be able to get there in a few hours!

And for us...... Highlands 2761.7 and 3519 are in a triangle with the passes of the Higio Valley...... In other words, they are almost the same distance from the Higio Valley, which is more than ten kilometers, which is a six-hour walk! This allowed our feint forces to withdraw to the Higio Valley in the shortest possible time.

Of course, if this 3519 Heights is our goal...... Actually, it's not accurate, our ultimate goal is still the Hijeo Valley!

So our troops were divided into three teams an hour after leaving the valley......

A group headed for Heights 2761.7, the least numerous of which were two platoons led by Ragil...... Their purpose was to confuse the Soviets, and when they reached 2761.7, they would pretend to be at the vanguard of our army to reconnoitre, and then retreat back to lurk, pretending to lead a large force to 2761.7 the next night...... This will undoubtedly convince the Soviet troops that the main forces of our troops will enter their encirclement the next night.

The other team is naturally the former 3519 Highlands...... This part has the strength of three companies, and the reason why it needs three companies is ...... In order to be able to implement the tactic of "decapitating the head and cutting the tail and hitting the middle...... From the experience of actual combat, we know that this tactic is especially effective against armored troops, because armored troops have many very heavy tanks, and once the head and tail are paralyzed, then the whole army will lose the ability to maneuver and let the enemy fight however they want.

The last team is, of course, the main force I lead, although it is the main force...... But in fact, our mission was the easiest, and after only walking for such an hour, we turned a corner and scattered and lurked on a nearby high ground that had been reconnoitred in advance......

After entering the cave, several guards consciously did some hygiene in it...... The caves were scouted in advance by the guerrillas, and they even reserved one of the most spacious caves for me...... Of course, I can't refuse this, and as a battalion commander, I also need this.

The guards set up radio stations and the like, and a new prison battalion was formed! We may have to spend some time in this musty, dusty cave...... There is only one thing we have to do, and that is to wait for Aduzai to start a riot! (To be continued......)
