The snow fell heavily.

At first, it was snow, like a man sprinkling sugar in mid-air. After a while, the snow particles turned into snow flakes, falling slowly and slowly like goose feathers. From time to time, the trees on the side of the road tossed their bodies in the cold wind, shaking the snow to the ground, but as soon as they shook a little, there were many more.

And then wait until we get up the next day...... I found that the entire world has become a white patch, and the snow layer is so thick that it can drown the soles of my feet, but the snow in the sky has no intention of stopping at all, and continues to fall like goose feathers!

For the arrival of the snow season...... The Afghan guerrillas were welcoming, and some of them even cheered and had snowball fights in the snow like children!

I understand that...... There are so few things that Afghans can afford to spend their time on, not to mention that the vast majority of Afghanistan's water comes from the melting of snow...... Snow is almost life-like to them, so it's normal for them to behave this way.

But my heart was heavy......

"Battalion commander!" The instructor seemed to see what I was worried about, and he said, "Don't worry too much...... Our ammunition reserves are almost complete, and even if the snow covers the mountains...... It's just a reduction in the capacity of our army......"

"Yes, battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping interjected on the side and said: "And we are facing this problem, and the supply of the Soviet army will also face this problem, and no one can bargain for ......."

I shook my head and said, "The transport line of the Soviet army is a road...... Heavy snow closes the road, so they don't have to take the time to use a snow plow to push the snow away, the road is more slippery, and they just need to drive a little slower...... While it is true that it can reduce their capacity, the impact will be limited...... But our mountain path. It's hard to get through the snowman and mule...... What's even more terrifying is that the mines of the Soviet army can play a great role again! ”

Hearing this, the instructor and Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be silent...... It's not that they don't know this. Just looking for something to comfort me.

Sure enough, things were just as I feared...... In fact, it is very likely that the Soviets have been waiting for this moment for a long time. So before the snow could get thicker, a total blockade of our supply lines was launched......

The blockade of the Soviets this time was very simple...... It's minelaying, minelaying in a large area with helicopters!

In the past, the mines they planted were either broken when they fell to the ground, or they were exposed to the ground and the guerrillas blew them up one by one, but now they ...... The helicopter had just laid a large field of thunder, and in less than an hour, the heavy snow had completely hidden them!

I also wanted to use the same method, that is, minelaying, against the supply lines of the Soviet army...... But when we shovel snow on the road, we will remove the mines by the way, and second, the Soviet highway is full of posts, and we don't have helicopters...... This makes it as difficult for us to lay mines on the road as it is to snipe directly with a sniper rifle!

So after this snowfall...... The superiority of the enemy in terms of supply soon reversed, and we could only rely on a limited number of very secret mountain roads to transport some light equipment. And the Soviet army is still using cars to transport special ...... Although each car pulls only half as much cargo as it used to be because the road slide is difficult to handle, it is significantly better than ours!

The only thing that's good for us is ...... The Soviets also knew that such a reversal would be advantageous to them, and that the longer this favorable time would be for them, the better...... The more time passes, the more supplies they will be able to replenish, and the more they will be able to keep up with us!

So...... Now the Soviet army is not in a hurry to start a war, but is slowly waiting, waiting for the moment when they are ready to be recharged!

And for us...... The supply line has basically been cut off, and Chen Qiaoqiao's troops are already difficult to play a role on the southern front at this time...... They are limited by mines buried under the snow, so the guerrilla war can no longer be fought, and they can only be recalled at the very least!

Thereupon...... At this time, the valley of Higio is more like a lamb to the slaughter. It depends on when the Soviets will sharpen their knives to kill......

And for the time when the Soviets began to clear the Shigio Valley...... I'm sure it's likely to be before spring!

The reason is simple...... Don't start too early or too late:

It's early, isn't it...... The supply advantage of the Soviet army over ours is not obvious, and it is very likely that it will be another fierce battle after the fight is at its worst!

Late...... The Soviets haven't had time to wipe us out yet. Or the complete occupation of the valley of Chigio...... Spring is already here, and with the melting of snow and ice, the mountain road is open again!

And...... I believe that the Soviets will most likely adopt the tactics of depleting our army's supplies when they arrive...... Deploy troops on the outskirts of our army's valley without attacking, and from time to time come several feints to consume our army's ammunition...... After a long time, the Xijieo Valley will naturally be unable to fight again due to lack of ammunition!

However...... Although I knew that the Soviet army would fight like this, there was still no way at all!

"Do you know where the ammunition depot of the Soviet army is located?" I asked Hassan.

"Zhilu Dao!" Hassan nodded, pointed to a spot in Kabul and said, "Right here...... The northeast corner of Kabul! ”

"The battalion commander wants to sneak up on the ammunition depot of the Soviet army?" Zhao Jingping asked.

"Now it seems like there is no other way!" I say.

"But it's not easy!" Zhao Jingping shook his head: "The reason is that there are too many Afghans in Kabul who are in Cao Ying's heart and Khan, and even in normal times, there are many guerrillas lurking in Kabul to look for opportunities...... In addition, supplies and ammunition are very important to the Soviet army, so this ammunition depot can be said to be impermeable! ”

"That's true!" Hassan continued: "This ammunition depot is located in the tunnel fortifications of Mount Altaïr, and there are reinforced concrete fortifications more than ten meters thick, and it is almost impossible to blow it up from the outside. If you want to think about it from the inside...... The management mode of the Soviet army is also similar to that of our valley, all supplies are first arrived at a transit station, and after strict inspection, there are no problems, and then they are transferred by special personnel to the fire depot! ”

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I heard this...... But in fact, I should have thought about this a long time ago, in such a difficult situation of transportation...... The arsenal can be said to be the basis of the Soviet army in Afghanistan, without which there are no ...... There is a high probability that the Soviets will all be driven out of Afghanistan, so how can they not be careless! (To be continued......)
