Perhaps it was because the Squad 7 attracted most of the Soviet army's attention that we successfully escaped the search of "female deer".
Otherwise, on the one hand, the armed helicopters are hovering above our heads, so that we dare not make any moves... On the other hand, the Soviet army can mobilize a large number of armed forces to encircle and block us... The Soviet army is smart enough to surround this
They do this. Tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery can easily maneuver to the bottlenecks in the mountains to block the firepower. As for entering the mountains to fight... it is naturally the matter of the Afghan government forces.
However, the actual combat is not so severe. The reason is that the armed helicopter has a weak night combat capability... As mentioned before, it mainly relies on spotlight searches, and occasionally a few flares... It is necessary to discover the enemy situation.
We must cooperate with artillery to pose a threat to us... Otherwise, if it is within the range of our army's firepower, then our army's light and heavy machine guns and even rocket launchers will be unable to afford it.
This is the useless fire of armed helicopters during night wars... I dare not get too close to the target, but it is not possible to be too far away... It is not that weapons cannot be used. In fact, heavy rockets on the "female deer" can attack targets two kilometers away
...But the problem is that this night and at night with spotlights... it would be good to find a target five hundred meters away!
So the "female deer" had to cooperate with the artillery... But the problem is that the artillery also has one disadvantage, that is, it cannot hit the back slope of the highland... So when we crossed the ridge of the highland that night, we killed one of these helicopters.
Backlash...
This is how the battle happened... When I brought my troops to the back slope of the highland, I realized that our opportunity had come. So I immediately contacted the other two troops on the walkie-talkie... At this time, we
The two have not yet run far, and they can still contact each other using a walkie-talkie.
We arranged two troops to lurk on the top of the mountain... Of course, there will be a few light, heavy machine guns and rocket launchers... The reason for lurking on the top of the mountain is that only in this way can we get closer to the helicopter to increase the chance of shooting down the helicopter
.
Next, our troops responsible for seducing the enemy performed a scene... Hassan took out an AK47 and fired a few shots in the sky. He pretended that the rifle went fire while running... By the way, this is very common in the guerrillas.
The guerrillas are not of high quality, and they often shoot randomly when they see suspicious targets.
On the other hand, the reason why Hassan was letting us fight instead of our soldiers... is because the gunshots of the AK47 are louder than those of the AK74... The AK74 is a small caliber rifle. Although the range is long, both the gunshots and the recoil must be
It is much smaller than the AK47. If it is to be hit by the AK74... I am a little worried that it will be covered up by the noise of the helicopter rotor and failed to attract the attention of the Soviet army.
Then the light columns of two helicopters soon appeared in our sight... The phenomenon of two to three helicopters flying in formation is rare on the battlefield in Afghanistan, because at this time, the Afghan guerrillas were simply
There are no weapons that can threaten helicopters... In addition, there are not many Soviet armed helicopters, so in order to improve search efficiency, they usually let the helicopters fly alone. The reason for the exception tonight is... I think one is because this is fighting at night
, the formation needs to fly and cover each other, the other is because the Soviet army knows that they can annihilate their two mechanized infantry battalions in such a short time... Then this army must have good combat power, so they put away their previous contempt.
The Afghan guerrillas fly in a single-air manner.
From this point of view, we should also feel honored...but the problem is that they did not know that we had fallen into our ambush at this time, an ambush against a helicopter!
"Hey! Hey..." A guerrilla yelled at the helicopter with blood on his face, "Ji Li Gu Lu" in a big Persian language... Although the Soviets couldn't understand it, they knew he was
Surrender to the Soviet army, because he had raised his hands... and placed his gun at his feet under the spotlight!
If it were at other times... I believe that the Soviets would shoot the Afghans without thinking... The Soviet army does not have any "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" like our Chinese army.
It is a hard truth to say that a gun is a barebony.
But now I think they will consider it... The reason is very simple. They didn't find any traces of our troops at all. They needed some prisoners to interrogate.
So they focused their spotlight on the guerrillas... and at the same time they carefully lowered the height.
At this time, they were actually suspicious... The reason is that they were ambushed by too many Afghan guerrillas on the battlefield... Although the belief in Islam is "verbal recognition and integrity in heart". It means consistency in words and deeds...
…I heard Saheed say about this, which is also the reason why they call themselves "Hui people"... The Hui people's "Hui people" means that there are small mouths in their big mouths... In other words, what they say to the outside world should be the same as what they say in their hearts.
!
However, it is now a battlefield... If you still talk about the same thing as your words and deeds when facing the enemy on the battlefield, it can only be said to be pedantic.
Because of the experience of being "deception"... the Soviets became cautious at this time, and the two helicopters quickly divided the work. One continued to lock in the guerrillas, and the other shot a flare into the air...
...Its purpose is very obvious. It is to see if there are ambushing around.
But what the Soviets didn't know was... This is exactly what we hoped. The flares can not only illuminate the surrounding environment, but also illuminate the helicopter... Although the target of the helicopter was very obvious because of the spotlight, the spotlight
This goal is too small, and if we start, the helicopter will likely turn off the spotlight and pull up as soon as possible, which will give us very little time.
But now it is different. These two helicopters did not realize that our ambushed main force was actually on the top of the mountain instead of near... So the flare quickly exposed them to our army's firepower!
"Fight!" With my order, the three troops opened fire almost at the same time... Light and heavy machine guns and assault rifles suddenly sounded, and bullets were fired towards the helicopter from three directions.
But to be honest... we are directly under the helicopter, so we don't have much threat to the helicopter.
Helicopters are different from tanks... The threat of tanks is mainly to the front, followed by the side and back, so their armor thickness is basically in this order, and directly above and below are the weakest positions of tank armor...
...Because these two parts are rarely attacked.
But the helicopter...it is mainly attacked on the ground, so the thick armor part is exactly the lower part... So the bullet we fired from below was a "clang clang" sound on the lower armor of the helicopter...
Even heavy machine guns are helpless. To deal with it, they are afraid that they will have anti-aircraft machine guns and other things.
I think this is also the reason why helicopter driving dares to lower the altitude when he suspects fraud... Fortunately, our layout is not just below, but also on the side...
The firepower from the side is very powerful... At this time, the straight-line distance of the helicopter is more than 400 meters from the top of the mountain, which is beyond the range of the assault rifle, but the dense rain of bullets from AK74 or AK47 is one thousand meters away
The target also has lethality, plus this light and heavy machine gun... so two helicopters were messed up and rushed upwards...
From this point of view, the vitality of this Mi24 is still quite tenacious... The main reason is that it has two engines and two systems, so even if one is not broken or the fuel tank is blown up, the fuel gauge is zeroed,
There are still about 20 minutes of flight time... This design is enough to make it safe to leave the battlefield.
What makes me feel regretful is that these two helicopters are outside the range of the rocket launcher, and the airflow around the helicopter is very strong... The wind deviation of the rocket is already very large, and it is blown by the airflow and then added to it.
In addition to shooting, so several rockets shot failed to hit the helicopter... This gave both helicopters a chance to climb upwards.
However, just when I thought they were all about to escape from our army's ambush circle... one of the helicopters began to smoke at the tail and spin in the air...
I couldn't help but feel happy, knowing that the tail slurry of this helicopter was broken... Although the tail slurry is small, it has a great effect on the helicopter because it plays a role in balancing torque... If it loses its effect,
It means that the helicopter is out of control.
Just like what we saw... the helicopter quickly turned faster and faster, and then it hit the foot of the mountain with a "boom" and a red flame emitting!
"Okay!" The soldiers immediately cheered, and the hard work was finally in vain.
Of course, the other helicopter did not dare to stay for a long time, and flew back with bullet holes all over his body... Not long after, the Soviet artillery quickly launched a carpet bombing on this area, and there were even
Rockets...I have heard of Soviet rocket launchers, because our army's rocket launchers are imitating the Soviet army. When they hit, they were "rumbled", and the entire hill opposite was red.
But this bombing is destined to be a waste of ammunition. We are the backscene here... Unless Soviet shells can turn corners, we can only watch us escape!
This battle also made me know how difficult it is to deal with the Soviet helicopters... They were all ambushed by our army, and they could also escape one, and some of the destroyed ones were still
