A few days later we were back at base without any problems, and because Hakus was closer to the base than we did, he was even one step ahead of us.

So when we returned, we were greeted by the Afghan guerrillas...... All around us, Afghans cheered and shouted around us, and some even grabbed Ak47s and beat them in the air......

Although we couldn't understand what they were calling or saying, we knew they were paying tribute to us.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Major Smith and several of his American staff officers also greeted us in front of the base, and as soon as Smith saw me, he greeted me warmly, shook my hand and said, "Battalion Commander Yang, we are very lucky to have you as an ally...... Otherwise, the guerrillas trained at our US military base will be wiped out! ”

"Colonel Smith has won the award!" I said: "Everyone is an alliance against the Soviet army, and helping you is also helping ourselves, so you don't need to be polite!" ”

Smith nodded appreciatively and said, "Camp Commander Yang said well...... In fact, this time you have not only relieved the siege of Hakus...... In the mountains near Pa'a, there were several guerrilla groups surrounded by Soviet and Afghan government forces, but the Soviets had to shrink their forces because you blew up the Salang tunnel...... There was not even time to annihilate these besieged guerrillas...... Now, you're famous among the Afghan guerrillas! ”

I couldn't help but smile and replied, "Colonel Smith, we Chinese have an old saying, 'People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong'...... Do you know what that means? ”

"What do you mean?" Smith's face was full of confusion.

"That means......" I said, "if the pig is strong...... The day of slaughter will come, and if a man becomes famous...... Just like us, the Soviet army will continue to trouble us next! ”

"Oh!" Smith couldn't help but get up when he heard this: "You Chinese words are really interesting. It also makes sense! So we're taking advantage of it! ”

Actually, that's what I'm worried about...... The two sweeps of the Soviet army can be said to have been disrupted by us. The first time was because of the attack on Kabul. This time it was because the supply lines were cut off, and on both occasions the Soviets suffered heavy casualties...... They are the Soviet Union, which is known as a superpower, and it has 100,000 people, so they can't do anything about our Chinese base, which is only 500 people? Then where to put their face, if this thing gets out...... I'm afraid it will affect the Vietnamese battlefield in Vietnam.

If the Vietnamese heard this...... They will think: Is this Soviet combat effectiveness still so poor? We won't be like this when we fight China...... And the Soviets, who are more and better equipped and outnumbered hundreds of times, still fight like this? Are they still reliable? Can you still be our big brother?

So, in the future, the Soviet Union will definitely treat us as a thorn in the flesh...... You have to get rid of us as soon as possible.

But that's for us later. Now I just want to sleep well, because it's like the last battle...... Although I was not tired from fighting, I was almost tired from walking in the mountains of Afghanistan for a few days.

However...... But when I got back to my dorm, I realized that I might not be able to rest......

"You...... How did it come? "I couldn't help but be surprised and happy when I saw Chen Yiyi, no wonder I didn't see her outside just now.

"What? Don't want me to come? Chen Yiyi's hands quickly wrapped around my neck.

"Of course not!" I took her into my arms: "I'm just weird...... How do you get rid of Qiaoqiao? ”

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yiyi said: "She is my sister...... She went to the refugee camp today to deliver food to the refugees! ”

"Hmm!" I said, "I know she's your sister, but ......."

"But what?"

"Nothing?" I shook my head...... is the so-called Xiao Biesheng newlywed, not to mention that Chen Yiyi and I have been separated for so long, and we have never had time to be alone, so I don't want to waste a little more time at this time...... As soon as he picked her up, he put her on the bed......

When I woke up the next day, Chen Yiyi had already left...... She has a younger sister to deal with, and I really don't think there's something right about that...... This Chen Qiaoqiao is the commander of the agent company, can his independence be so poor? Although their sisters are also reunited after a long absence, life and death depend on each other. But it doesn't stick like this!

On the other hand, I was a little worried about my alertness...... When I returned to the dormitory, I didn't feel that Chen Yiyi was already in the room, and I didn't know when Chen Yiyi left when she left...... I don't know if Chen Yiyi is too powerful or because I'm too tired...... If this is not Chen Yiyi, but someone else who wants to be unfavorable to me. I'm afraid I'm going to see Hades before I figure out the situation.

hurriedly finished eating the pilaf sent by the guard, and then instructed the guard to fetch a basin of water to wash his feet...... When you enter the mountains of Afghanistan, the water is more precious than gold, so it is impossible to wash your feet...... Coupled with the sun exposure and sweating along the way, these feet have long been stinky...... I was a little embarrassed when I was with Chen Yiyi last night......

But this seems to be normal, as soldiers, especially soldiers who fought on the battlefield, especially soldiers who fought on the battlefield in Vietnam...... I've long been accustomed to all this, so Chen Yiyi doesn't think there's anything, but now I can't stand it anymore!

Washed my feet comfortably...... Putting on the brand-new socks and liberation shoes, I immediately felt much more comfortable, so I walked out of the dormitory with relaxed steps and humming a little song......

Another good day...... I stretched...... Fuck, when I was in Vietnam, I rarely saw the sun a few times a year, and it was wet all day long, and when I arrived in Afghanistan, I didn't see rain all year round, and the sun was big all day long...... This God is against me all day long, or it is the sentence that the bitter man said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones......"

"Battalion commander!"

"Battalion commander!"

……

As I walked to the battalion headquarters, I was saluted by soldiers, including some Afghan guerrillas...... As Smith said, the two successive victories have made me and my unit famous among the Afghan guerrillas, so the Afghan guerrillas look at us differently.

In fact, not only the Afghan guerrillas, but also the Pakistani army and even the Pakistanis living nearby have heard about our deeds...... Pakistan, in particular, is itself a friendly country with China, and it is easy for them to take our victory as their own pride...... I've heard a few Pakistani soldiers talking about it, because they're talking in English, so I can understand what they're saying......

"And voila! Our Chinese friends are better than the Americans! Chinese friends have won battles again and again, what did those Americans do? ”

"That's it...... This shows that we are right to choose our Chinese friends! ”

"Of course it's right! This is not because Chinese friends can fight, but also because Chinese friends are selfless in helping us...... You know? When India invaded us, the United States was our ally, and the weapons and equipment that should have been sold to us made excuses not to sell them, but what about our Chinese friends? They are also poor and have no weapons, they are returning the weapons that the troops are equipping and giving them to us! ”

"So Chinese friends are reliable!"

……

I was quite surprised when I heard that...... I never thought that our performance in Afghanistan would affect Pakistan, and it could even be said that it further strengthened the friendship between China and Pakistan, but it was.

So...... A victory is sometimes not just a victory, behind that victory...... There will be many unseen and unimaginable political interests!

"How's it going?" As soon as I walked into the battalion headquarters, I asked.

"Report to the battalion commander, everything is normal!" Zhang Zuoliang stepped forward to report to me: "It's just that there are more and more guerrillas coming to our Chinese base to report, and now they are overcrowded, and they are almost unable to cope with it!" ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this can be regarded as an additional reward after winning the battle!

"Battalion commander!" "I think it's time to start building a base in Afghanistan, on the one hand, because the base is too small to accommodate so many people, and it will free up some space after the establishment of a frontline base in Afghanistan," Zhao advised. On the other hand...... What's more, the Soviets are now making up for the problem, but I'm afraid that they won't dare to make any big moves between dredging the Salang tunnel...... So that we have time to gain a foothold at the forward bases! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

Of course, what Zhao Jingping said is reasonable, and the establishment of a front-line base is not a joke...... It was necessary to have food, ammunition and fortifications to withstand the attack of the Soviet army or the government army...... If it had been before, there would have been a suitable location...... But if food and ammunition reserves or fortifications are not built, they will catch up with the attack of the Soviet troops...... I'm afraid we'll be nip in the bud.

Now that the Soviets are busy unblocking supply lines, this is undoubtedly the best time for us to establish a base......

"I agree!" So I quickly gave the order: "Our next step is to arrange the construction of the front base, and this will be left to you!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingping stepped forward.

"Report!" At this time, a guard came up to me and saluted: "There are many Afghan refugees outside the base, and they say they want to meet you!" I said I wanted to thank you in person for saving their son......"

Hearing this, the instructor couldn't help laughing, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Battalion commander, it's also a trouble to save too many people!" Go meet and do publicity work by the way! (To be continued......)
