We returned to the base early in the morning of the third day...
This is really unimaginable... It took us three and a half days to go, and when we came back, there were helicopters chasing us all the way, which made us faster.
But this seems normal... On the one hand, we have almost finished all the ammunition and we have eaten almost the dry food we carry with us. So we have nothing but a blanket and a gun on our body. It is lightweight
Naturally, you will walk fast! What’s more important is... There are Soviet helicopters chasing them behind... How can you not be happy if you are threatened by death?
So we returned half a day faster than when we went there... During this period, the Soviets really sent an army to occupy Lake Dahar as we had expected.
Regarding this, we listened to Zhang Zuoliang's report when we contacted the base at the contact point, and Zhang Zuoliang's news came from the internal support of the Afghan government army...
This is the thing... Maybe the Soviets no longer trust the Afghan government forces, or they wanted to take revenge in person, so when they occupied Dahar Lake, they all had the Soviet army... Of course, the Soviet army used it
The helicopters arrived at Har Lake by maneuver. There were two companies of Soviet troops... Under the cover of helicopters and fighters, they took down several highlands around Dahar Lake and held on.
I believe that the Soviet army of these two companies is not an ordinary Soviet army... Otherwise, just two companies would not dare to occupy the water source on which the guerrillas rely for water replenishment, although these troops have the cover of artillery and air force.
This makes the guerrillas in this area miserable... Although they are also prepared for the Soviet army's sweep... This preparation mainly comes from the US military base. By the way, we only have one guerrilla team in our hands.
When the Afghan government forces received internal news, the US military trained so many guerrillas. Their news was naturally much more informed than ours, so of course they would also receive news of the Soviet army's mobilization in advance.
Later I learned... In fact, the information obtained by the US military base is much more detailed than ours. They even knew the time and plan of the sweeping, but they just didn't tell us.
However, the information they had grasped actually hurt them... because the intelligence said that the focus of the Soviet army's sweep was on both sides of the highway... This made the Afghan guerrillas disagreed at all, thinking that as long as they evacuate the highway and go deep into the hinterland, who would think that it would be enough to evacuate the highway and go deep into the hinterland.
The Soviet army would suddenly occupy Lake Dahar by airborne...
This occupation made all the guerrillas that needed water replenishment have no choice... either waited to die or defeated Dahar, so they fought desperately to attack Dahar Lake... The guerrillas were very large.
There were at least thousands of people in the guerrilla team, but the helpless thing was that the Soviet army had air force and artillery support, so the killing was so dark that it was inflatable bombs and long-range shells. Only Daha
Erhu was beaten to the point where the sand and stones were ripped away.
I can understand the purpose of the Soviet army...
On the one hand, I want to use this victory to stabilize the morale of the army... You know, the Soviet army has just won Afghanistan, and the political situation is still unstable... Many Afghan government troops believe that their arms cannot twist their legs. In other words, they think that the Afghan army
In addition, even the guerrillas could not fight against the Soviet army, so they gave up the idea of resisting.
But...what if they found out that this was not the case? Just like the previous battle... we not only raided Kabul, but even annihilated the mechanized infantry of the two battalions!
So this gave the Afghans confidence, and the uprising incidents would break out one after another...
Therefore, the Soviet army must use practical actions to tell these people who are "indiscreet"... The last failure was just an accident, and the Soviet army could still easily control the situation on the entire battlefield.
On the other hand... these Soviet troops certainly hope that we who had sneak attacked the Soviet army would also need to replenish water and attack them.
Of course. This will disappoint them... the assembly point we set up before played a role, allowing us to return to Pakistan easily and quickly.
In fact…we caught the attention of the sentries when we entered the Pakistani outpost!
The reason is that we are holding Ak47 and AK74... At this time, most of the weapons equipped by the Afghan guerrillas were AK47 or American M16. AK47 was given before the Soviet Union, and M16 came from the US base... The ones equipped with AK74 are very
Rare... This small-caliber assault rifle was advanced for the Soviet Union and could not be equipped with Afghan government forces.
So, when the Pakistani army saw that we were holding an AK74, they suddenly became nervous... They all held rifles, aimed the machine gun at us, and stopped us from a distance.
Then they found that many of us still couldn't understand Persian... they believed even more that we were the Soviet army and the Afghan government army pretended to want to sneak into Pakistan. So they picked up the horn and shouted at us: "Here
It is Pakistan's territory, please leave!"
I was a little surprised when I heard Sahide's translation... When we left the country, we also had AK74. Why didn't the Pakistani border guards suspicious of us at that time?
I quickly understood... We had a pass when we left the country, and it was not a tense period at that time. Now Afghanistan has become a group of people... No wonder the Pakistani army is so careful!
Then Hassan shouted and showed his pass, but the Pakistani troops still didn't believe it... It's no wonder that if the Soviet army wanted to sneak into the border, it would be too easy to get a pass.
In the end, there was nothing we could do, so we pulled off our headscarf and showed our identity... We are all Chinese, with dark glasses and yellow skin being our ID card... This made the Pakistani army put off their guard, one who looked like a major
The officer ran to us and apologized to us endlessly.
"Battery Commander!" Sahide translated: "Major Takara sincerely apologizes to you. He is wondering how we can equip AK74!"
"The soldiers at our Chinese base in Pakistan are equipped with AK74!" I said: "Major Takara can call to verify this!"
"No, of course not!" Major Takara replied: "Of course I believe in the words of Chinese friends, but we have less information, and our superiors did not tell us your equipment!"
"It's always good to be careful!" I nodded: "As long as there is no misunderstanding!"
"Of course!" Major Takara gave me a chest press and said, "Please rest assured by Chinese friends. I will tell other troops about this and let them pay attention to it, so as not to misunderstand!"
At this time, a assistant beside Major Takara whispered in a low voice... Major Takara's eyes were wide open... He looked at me in surprise with his mouth half open and said:
"My assistant told me...that the attack on Kabul three days ago and annihilated the two mechanized infantry battalions of the Soviet army...they used AK74, were they you?"
I just smiled... It seems that Major Takara has a lot of information. I know so quickly what equipment the "guerrillas" who started that battle were used!
But this doesn't seem surprising... The AK74's bullet is easy to recognize, isn't it? It will break even if it hits the target, and it will leave steel stamens in the body... Of course, the Soviets would know what kind of gun this is
After the fight was made, they would call on the Afghan government forces to search for a group of guerrillas equipped with AK74... so the news will soon reach Pakistan.
My smile made me agree to it if I didn't answer... So the entire outpost quickly became a sensation, and the Pakistani soldiers gathered up to ask about this and that... Of course, few of us would understand what they said
If that's the case, but you don't need to know what they are asking... It's just "You really fought?", "How many Soviet people were killed?", "I heard that I shot down a helicopter, is it true
?” or something.
Although we can't understand the language, we can see the look clearly, and the admiration is unconcealed... So, the soldiers in this world are actually similar, they are all fighting wars, and the ones they admire most are those on the battlefield
A brave man to kill the enemy.
We feel much more comfortable when we enter Pakistan... To be honest, although we won this battle, it feels really uncomfortable to be chased along the way, especially by the enemy's air force.
The feeling of powerlessness and depression that an enemy can hit us but we can’t hit our enemies is indescribable.
But I know clearly... This is the guerrilla warfare on the battlefield of Afghanistan, and this is the reality of the battlefield of Afghanistan... In the future, we will only regard this as a common occurrence.
The next thing became simple...Major Takara originally wanted to keep us at the outpost to have a meal with them, but after I postponed my mission, he couldn't force it, so he volunteered to help us replenish our food.
Heshui... Then we arranged dozens of cars for us to take us back.
By the way, if we were to arrange cars for us... the border is only fifteen kilometers away from Peshawar, and we will arrive in the car for more than twenty minutes, so it is unnecessary to replenish food and water, but this is also a share of Pakistani soldiers.
We took it without refusing.
So with the sound of the motor "roaring" of the car... the convoy was a bit exaggerated, and there were a few sentries riding side three-wheeled in front to open the way, so we soon arrived at the stone factory as the base.
