We returned to the base smoothly a few days later, because Hakus was closer to the base than us, so we even returned to the base one step ahead of us.
So when we came back, we were welcomed by the Afghan guerrillas... Afghans were everywhere cheering and shouting next to us, and even people grabbed Ak47 and beaten up the sky for a while...
Although we don’t understand what they are calling or saying, we know that they are paying tribute to us.
"Captain Yang!" Major Smith also greeted us in front of the base with several of his American staff. As soon as Smith saw me, he came up enthusiastically, held my hand and said, "Captain Yang, we are very lucky.
, With you as an ally... Otherwise, the guerrillas trained by our US military base will be wiped out!"
"Col. Smith has won the award!" I said: "Everyone is an alliance that resists the Soviet army. While helping you, we are also helping ourselves. You are welcome!"
Smith nodded in appreciation and said, "Battery Commander Yang said it well... In fact, this time you not only lifted the siege of Hakus... There are several guerrillas in the mountains near Baa and were all over the Soviet army.
Surrounded by the Afghan government forces, but because you blow up the Sarang Tunnel, the Soviet army had to shrink its forces... There was no time to annihilate these surrounded guerrillas... Now, you are among the Afghan guerrillas
It's famous!"
I couldn't help but smile and replied, "Col. Smith, we Chinese have an old saying, "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong."... Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Smith's face was full of doubt.
"That means..." I said: "If the pig is strong... the day to be slaughtered will come, and if the people become famous... Just like us, the Soviet army will continue to cause trouble for us next!"
"Oh!" Smith couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You Chinese people's words are really interesting and make sense! In that case, we have taken advantage of it!"
In fact, this is what I am worried about... Both of the Soviet army's sweep plans were ruined by us. The first time was because Kabul was attacked. This time, the supply line was cut off, and the Soviet Union was both.
Suffering heavy casualties... They are the Soviet Union, which is known as a super power, and have a population of 100,000. They can't do anything to our Chinese base, which has only 500 people? Where can they put their face?
If the incident spreads... I am afraid it will affect the Vietnam battlefield far away in Vietnam.
If the Vietnamese heard this... they would think: Is the Soviets still so poor in combat? We won’t be like this when we fight against China... And the Soviets have more equipment and are better. The number of people is hundreds of.
But they are still fighting like this? Then are they still reliable? Can they still be our elder brother?
So, the Soviet Union will definitely treat us as thorns in the eyes... and must remove us quickly.
But these are all things that happen to us in the future. Now I just want to have a good sleep, because like the last battle... Although the war is not tiring, walking in the mountains of Afghanistan for a few days makes me tired.
It's almost down.
However... But when I returned to the dormitory, I found that I might not be able to rest...
"Why are you... here?" I couldn't help but be surprised and happy when I saw Chen Yiyi. No wonder I didn't see her outside just now.
"Why? Don't you want me to come?" Chen Yiyi's hands quickly wrapped around my neck.
"Of course not!" I took her into her arms: "I'm just wondering... how did 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!"
"Yeah!" I said, "I know she is your sister, but..."
"But what?"
"Nothing?" I shook my head... As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed, not to mention that Chen Yiyi and I have been separated for so long and have never been alone, so I don't want to waste a little more time at this time...
He picked her up and put her on the bed...
When I woke up the next day, Chen Yiyi had already left... She had a sister to deal with, and I really felt something was wrong with this... Chen Qiaoqiao is the company commander of the agent company. Is his independence so poor? Although their sisters are also
After a long separation, we will reunite with each other in life and death, but we will not be so agglomerated!
On the other hand, I was a little worried about my vigilance... When I returned to the dormitory, I didn't feel that Chen Yiyi was already in the room. When Chen Yiyi left, I didn't know when she left...
...I don't know if Chen Yiyi is too powerful or because I am too tired... If it weren't for Chen Yiyi but someone else who wanted to be unfavorable to me, I'm afraid I'll go to see the King of Hell before I figured out the situation.
After ate the hand-pickled rice delivered by the guards in a hurry, he ordered the guards to fetch a basin of water to wash their feet... When entering the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, the water was more precious than gold, so it was impossible to wash your feet.
...In addition, the sun was exposed and sweating along the way, and these feet were already smelling stinking... I was a little embarrassed when I was with Chen Yiyi last night...
But this seems normal. People who are in the army, especially those who fight on the battlefield, especially those who fight on the Vietnam battlefield... They have long been used to all this, so Chen Yiyi doesn't think there is anything.
What, but now I can't stand it anymore!
I washed my feet comfortably... I immediately felt much more comfortable when I put on brand new socks and liberation shoes, so I walked out of the dormitory with my relaxed steps humming a small song...
It's another good weather... I stretched... This is a damn thing. When I was in Vietnam, I saw the sun a few times a year. I was so wet all day long. I haven't seen it all year round when I arrived in Afghanistan.
It rains. The sun is always there... God is against me all day long, or he has tried what the suffering person said: "If God is going to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his will.
, work hard…”
"battalion commander!"
"battalion commander!"
...
As I walked towards the battalion, soldiers saluted me along the way. This also included some Afghan guerrillas... As Smith said, the victory of two consecutive battles had already made me and our troops.
It has made a name for the Afghan guerrillas, so the Afghan guerrillas look at us differently.
In fact, it is not just Afghan guerrillas, but even the Pakistani army and even the Pakistani people living nearby have heard of our deeds... Especially Pakistan is a country that is friendly to China, and they can easily bring us
Victory is their own pride… I have heard a few Pakistani soldiers discussing because they discuss in English, so I can understand what they say…
"Look! Our Chinese friends are better than Americans! Chinese friends have won battles again and again. What did those Americans do?"
"That's...this means that we are right to choose Chinese friends!"
"Of course it's right! This is not because Chinese friends can fight, but because Chinese friends help us selflessly... Do you know? When India invaded us, the United States was our ally and should have sold it to us
But we made excuses to stop selling our weapons and equipment, and what about Chinese friends? They are poor and have no weapons. They retreated the weapons that the troops are being equipped with to give us!"
"So Chinese friends are reliable!"
...
I was quite surprised when I heard these words... 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 indeed the case.
So... a victory is sometimes not just a victory. Behind this victory... there are many invisible and unexpected political interests!
"How is the situation?" I asked as soon as I walked into the battalion headquarters.
"Report to the battalion commander, everything is normal!" Zhang Zuoliang stepped forward to report to me and said, "It's just that more and more guerrillas are coming to our Chinese base to report. Now they are crowded and they are almost unable to handle it!"
"Um!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is also an additional reward after winning the battle!
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping suggested: "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, a part of it will be freed up after establishing a front-line base in Afghanistan will be released.
Space. On the other hand... More importantly, the Soviet Union has made a problem now, I am afraid that they will not dare to make any big moves between unblocking the Sarang Tunnel... so that we will have time to gain a foothold in the frontline base!"
"Yeah!" I nodded.
What Zhao Jingping said is of course reasonable. Building a front-line base is not a joke... It requires food, ammunition and fortifications to prevent the attacks of the Soviet army or government forces... If this is
In the past, even if there were suitable places... if the food and ammunition reserves or fortifications were not built, it would catch up with the attack of the Soviet army... I am afraid that we would be eliminated in the bud.
Now at this time, the Soviet Union was busy unblocking the supply line, which was undoubtedly the best time for us to build a base...
"I agree!" So I quickly gave the order: "Our next step is to arrange the construction of the front-line base, and this is left to you!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping stood up and responded.
"Report!" At this time, a guard walked up to me and saluted: "There are many Afghan refugees outside the base. They said they wanted to see you! They said they wanted to thank you in person for saving their son..."
Hearing the words, the instructor couldn't help laughing, patted my shoulder and said, "Battery Commander, it's a troublesome to save too many people! Go and meet and do some publicity work by the way!"
