Actually, I was hoping that Pesur would ask me for help...... But I knew he wouldn't ask me for help...... Pesur is the kind of person who sacrifices his life for his ideals, not to mention that the guerrilla force he led is based on resisting a foreign force, and once he asks us for help, it means that this foundation will no longer exist, and their army will lose its faith.

So I didn't have much hope that Pesul would ask me for help...... Sure enough, as time passed, the Soviet troops advanced step by step in the Shigio Valley, and Pesul and the others were compressed to less than ten kilometers, but he still did not send me a distress telegram.

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping anxiously persuaded me: "Hurry up and send troops...... Pesul won't ask us for help, and if we don't send troops, we won't be in a hurry! ”

"Yes, battalion commander!" The instructor also persuaded on the side: "Look at this shape...... It is unlikely that Pesur will ask us to come to the rescue, if the Soviet troops are allowed to occupy the valley along the way...... I'm afraid that it will not be easy for us to take it back, and now is the time when the Soviet army and Pesur are both defeated, and it is time to send troops! ”

I only asked rhetorically: "If you send troops...... How do we fight? ”

As soon as I said this, the instructor and Zhao Jingping were silent.

Although it is said that the casualties of the Soviet army during this period were very large...... The Shigio Valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Soviet army was not accustomed to mountain warfare, so despite the coordination of the air force and artillery, more than a thousand people were killed and wounded...... A considerable part of these Soviet casualties were caused by the partisans at night...... During the day, the Soviets could gain the upper hand in battle with the suppression of air power, but at night it was the domain of the guerrillas who were familiar with the terrain, so some of the high ground was taken by the Soviets during the day and recaptured by the guerrillas at night...... Of course, I have to admit that the guerrilla force led by Pesul is indeed quite combative, otherwise...... Even if they occupy a favorable geographical location. Even if they are familiar with the terrain...... There was no way to fight the Soviet army with an armed force of more than a thousand people, after all, the Soviet Airborne Forces were also very effective units.

Later I learned that it was not only the guerrillas of Pesul who were fighting in the valley of Sjéo, but also the people who lived in the valley...... Previously, they could not expand because of insufficient weapons and equipment, but after receiving equipment and supplies from the Chinese base, their troops quickly grew to 2,000 troops, and most of the troops of these 2,000 people were composed of civilians in the valley...... On the one hand, these people have a fighting capacity of their own (they are usually trained as militia, and Pesur uses them to protect the security of the valley), and on the other hand, they also have the belief to defend their homes, their women and children, so they are very brave in battle...... These are incomparable to other guerrilla units, especially those converted from drug dealers. That's why the Soviet army, with 3,000 people, but also the air force, artillery and other troops armed to the teeth, spent so many days that they could not take down this valley, but more than 1,000 people died.

But even so...... The Chigio Valley is also in danger, and the guerrillas stationed in it are also at the end of their power...... That's when we're going to reinforce them...... Was there any hope for the defeat of the mighty Soviet army?

"Wait!" I say.

"What are you waiting for?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "The battalion commander still thinks that Pesur will ask us for help?" ”

"It's all here, does it matter if Pesur asks us for help?" I said, "Like I said before...... At this time, even if Pesur can withstand the attack of the Soviet army, his vitality will be greatly damaged, and he has no ability to prevent us from entering the Xijieo Valley! ”

"That battalion commander, this is ......"

"Now it is the Soviet army that has the ability to stop me from entering the valley!" I said, "Not to mention that there are more than 2,000 of them in the direction of the Higio Valley. They still have reserves that have not been used...... If we go up at this time...... It is quite possible that the Soviets will be forced to use reserves, and then we will not be able to take the valley. Whether you can get out of it is a question! ”

"Battalion commander......" Zhao Jingping asked a little confused: "Then ...... Just wait...... Will it solve the problem? ”

I didn't answer and asked: "What are the merits of the Soviet army?" ”

Zhao Jingping replied without thinking about it: "There are more troops than us." The training is more than that of the guerrillas, and the equipment is modern......"

"What were the shortcomings of the Soviet army?"

"This ......"

"It's also a modern equipment!" I said, "We've all used armored vehicles, tanks and artillery...... Therefore, we know that these modern equipment are machines that eat bullets and oil...... This is also the reason why the Soviet troops were able to hold out only for five to ten days each sweep! ”

"Oh!" So Zhao Jingping understood: "The battalion commander wants to ...... Wait for the Soviet troops to consume some more ammunition? ”

"That's right!" I said, "You know, there are nearly 200,000 Soviet troops plus the Afghan government army...... The 200,000 troops are also equipped with a large number of warplanes, helicopters, artillery, tanks, and so on...... As Colonel Smith said, their 200,000 men were almost all dispatched, some to protect the city, some to protect the supply lines, and some to cut the border. Others are directly targeting the guerrillas and carrying out targeted and focused eradications...... Then the consumption of this amount of ammunition must be very huge...... If we attack so rashly now...... Then it is very likely that the Soviets will still have the ability to counterattack, but if we can wait until the Soviets are almost depleted of ammunition or enter the danger line......"

Zhao Jingping nodded approvingly: "At that time, even if the Soviet army had reserves, I was afraid that there would be no way to take us!" Now I wish the Higio Valley could hold out a little longer! ”

That's for sure...... As the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman...... We are now waiting for the time when the Soviets and Pesul are both defeated......

"Battalion commander!" The instructor interjected, "So...... How can we know if the ammunition of the Soviet army is almost depleted? ”

"It's easy!" I said, "Send a few men to lurk in the valley of Chigio and keep an eye on the movements of the Soviet troops...... If the Soviet artillery is significantly weaker or the helicopter sorties are less...... Or maybe the Soviets suddenly increased their firepower, hoping to take down the Higio Valley quickly...... That's when we send our troops! ”
