Chapter 584: Upper Strength

Although not everyone in the Afghan guerrillas is good at horseback riding, the Afghan army in the valley has been blown up by rocket artillery, so even if the villagers ride donkeys, they dare not resist.

Hundreds of cavalry men screamed and charged along the valley, and the smoke and dust were billowing so that it was impossible to see how many people there were, and the Afghan troops in the valley even just saw the smoke and dust approaching, and automatically abandoned their positions.

They were already killed and wounded by rocket artillery, and the commander was very dissatisfied with the Soviets pushing them out as cannon fodder, so in the face of the cavalry charge of the guerrillas, the commander immediately used his traditional skills.

"You give Luda oil!"

Just like Joseph Joestar in the anime who decisively ran away in the face of a strong enemy, the Afghan officer quickly dropped his weapons and ran away, watching the commander sit in a small jeep and go all the way, and the rest of the soldiers also did the same, pickpocketing the car that can pick up the car, and moving it by itself if there is no car.

But after all, a soldier is a soldier, and the kung fu of running away is not comparable to that of an officer, and the Afghan officer has already run a few kilometers before the Afghan soldier began to run, so many Afghan soldiers who did not die in the shelling were hit hard by the cavalry.

The villagers used automatic rifles and sabers to run rampant on the horses, and the government soldiers who cut down cried and shouted for their mothers, wishing that their parents would run on two legs, and after losing dozens of people, the Afghan government troops who could not run away immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

But you think that's the end of it? No, not really!

The Soviets also had positions on the ridge, mortars and machine guns, and the Afghan government forces below the valley were routed, but the Soviets were not, and they were slanting down the rain of bullets, trying to stop the cavalry of the villagers.

However, the guerrillas did not stay in the valley too long, but after killing them, they prepared to kill them again, so a considerable part of the Soviet artillery fire fell on the heads of the Afghan government forces.

However, the Soviets' artillery fire was only arrogant for a while, and the guerrillas turned around and began to fire at the hill with 107 rocket artillery, and the mortars and machine guns were also silenced.

And taking advantage of this time, the convoy in the rear immediately hurried up and drove the convoy through the valley.

At this moment, the pilot of the damaged Mi-24 was still trying to control the airframe, and his weapon crew found that he had eaten shrapnel in his leg after flying a long distance, and the pilot was extremely anxious, but he still calmly reported the current situation of the command.

"Command, this is Hammer 2, Sergei was shot down, the forced landing location is the location of the Hesin Valley, repeat, Sergei was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile, the helicopter fell in the Hesin Valley, our plane was damaged, Ivan was injured, please be prepared for first aid!"

"This is Command, can you fly back, Petronko? What is Ivan's injury?"

The voice on the other end of the radio changed, and the pilot immediately settled down.

"No problem, regiment commander, the plane can still fly, Ivan's injury has been dealt with simply, there is no major problem for the time being, but Sergei was shot down, and the partisans in the valley have anti-aircraft missiles!"

"I've sent a search and rescue team, you go back to the base first! I've told the emergency team to get ready!"

"Roger!"

When the radio was released, the face of the commander of this army aviation regiment immediately turned ugly, and it seemed that their army aviation regiment had no good luck since it arrived in Afghanistan, and the first Hind helicopter shot down on the battlefield in Afghanistan belonged to their regiment, which was shot down by the guerrillas with small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the pilot was killed and wounded.

After that, the Army Aviation Regiment carefully maintained a record of zero casualties for several years, but it didn't work out, and this record was broken again!

One fell and the other was injured, and the regiment commander only felt that his future was dark, but what could he do? He had to report the situation and ask for his regiment to be upgraded, at least the Hind helicopters must be equipped with infrared countermeasures and radar warnings.

And at the moment, the most important thing is to send a search force to rescue the pilot.

However, the commander's pain lasted only half a day, and then they were contacted by friendly units, and the Soviet troops on the ground managed to save the two

One pilot, one slightly injured and one seriously injured, but their lives were worry-free, and they were both sent to the hospital.

Hearing this news, the commander of the army aviation regiment was also relieved, saying that the training of fighter pilots costs a lot, and the cost of helicopter pilots is also a lot.

But the impact of this defeat is much more than that!

Rambo then sent a report on the actual operation of the Stinger to the Pakistani radio station, and although there were many opinions in it, the designers of the general company could not see it, so the focus was only one sentence.

"The missile is not as invincible as the manufacturer boasts, but it is still very useful, so, more of it!"

In fact, the role of the Stinger missile is more symbolic than practical at the moment, because its appearance can be said to have changed the situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

In the past, the Afghans had little means to threaten the transport planes that took off and landed, even if they had anti-aircraft guns, because anti-aircraft guns were bulky and could be used to attack transport planes or helicopters, and they could easily be spotted by patrols before they even fired.

However, with the Stinger is different, as long as the target is within 3,000 meters, the guerrillas can threaten its safety, and most importantly, compared to the anti-aircraft guns, which can often weigh hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, the Stinger is more flexible and lightweight, just like a rocket launcher, which can be carried by one person.

Therefore, it will be difficult for all Soviet planes flying in the sky of Afghanistan in the future, although there are not many stingers in the hands of Afghans now, but things are easy to use, and the CIA will definitely not be stingy, so, in the future, any Soviet aircraft must be careful when flying at low altitudes, whether it will be suddenly attacked by missiles that suddenly appear, whether it is a transport aircraft like the An-22 or a helicopter like the Mi-8, in front of air defense weapons, they are all equal!

Not to mention, even if the infrared countermeasures and missile warnings are upgraded, they may not be able to completely restrain the incoming anti-aircraft missiles, let alone which is more expensive, a missile or an aircraft.

Therefore, in the coming days, the life of the Soviet pilots will not be so easy, after all, the partisans will not let go of this good opportunity to give the opponent strength!
