The reason is that we received reports from the frontline... The batches and artillery bombings dispatched by Soviet helicopters have decreased significantly, and the soldiers are also resting and renovating. At the same time, a company's reserve team has been transferred up...
So this is obvious...The Soviet army's ammunition supply has already had problems.
Our army of more than 2,000 people was divided into four parts and headed towards the destination... The reason for the four parts was that our previous reconnaissance told us that eight of the twelve mountain roads that had just been built were not blocked by the Soviet army.
...
When I got this news, I thought it was quite strange... Most of the road construction is during the day, and there are many inconveniences in the work in the dark, and it will also delay the progress of road construction... So the road we built can be said to be for Su
The army had no secrets at all. The Soviets sent a reconnaissance plane to fly and knew where our road was built.
So... I originally thought that there would be four or five of these dozen mountain roads that could not be blocked.
Later, I thought about it and felt that this really made the Soviet army a little embarrassed... The Soviet army had only 100,000 people, including the Afghan government army, and only 200,000 people... These 200,000 people must not only ensure the safety of cities and traffic, but also
We must focus on clearing the guerrillas, and then deploy troops to garrison the border... Moreover, this border is not just a border between Bahai and Afghanistan, but also one from the direction of Iran and Afghanistan...
So the Soviet army was obviously short of troops. Even if we knew that there were twelve mountain roads we built and where they were located... but we couldn't set up a station on every highway.
This station is not enough to just throw a few people at will... If the troops are too small, they will be annihilated by the guerrillas in two or half. Not only will they not be able to play the role of garrison, but they will also waste their troops in vain. If there are too many troops, they will be too small.
We cannot guard it everywhere... For example, we built twelve mountain roads in this breath. If we throw a company on each mountain road to guard it, then the twelve mountain roads will require more than one thousand people from four battalions...
Therefore, the lack of troops determines that the Soviet Union can only choose some of the more important roads to garrison. Moreover, there must be highlands or mountain passes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack on these mountain roads. Then permanent fortifications are built on these high grounds to achieve long-term garrison.
Purpose.
This also gives us a lot of choices... There are eight mountain roads to walk on!
But of course we will not divide the troops into eight parts... The complex components of our troops determine that they cannot be too fragmented, otherwise it will be difficult to coordinate. So we let the two guerrillas choose one way forward, and our troops will follow the rules.
He and Hassan's troops were divided into half each to form a team.
Of course, in order to coordinate the combat between the various units, we sent several military advisers to the two guerrillas and equipped radio stations to contact each other.
After a night of marching, we arrived near the Sigeo Valley... It was originally two nights to reach the Sigeo Valley, but because we opened up a new mountain road... many of them were caused by explosives.
Blasted, so it greatly shortened the distance. It only took us one night to reach the valley.
When we arrived at the designated location and scattered and hid it... it was dawning.
As soon as the sky was dawn, it was when the Soviet army got up and started a new round of siege... Not long after, we saw Soviet soldiers coming out of their sleeping bags to sort out their equipment. Only a few of them were carried out.
The necessary washing is to put water on the steel helmet, and just shave the water and wash your face.
So I knew that most of these Soviet soldiers had no energy to care about the beards on their faces... If this was an Afghan, it might be normal, but for a Soviet soldier who usually had the habit of washing coughs every day when he woke up.
It is abnormal, and it is not short of water... there are several small streams in the Sigeo Valley.
This shows a problem... These Soviet soldiers are exhausted or at the end of their strength.
Because I was worried about being discovered by the Soviet army, I didn't dare to observe it. After watching for a while, I put away the telescope and retracted it into the cave... The benefits of the mountainous areas are here. There are caves suitable for the troops to hide everywhere, and some caves even have
It is big enough to hide the next regiment... The problem is that if someone is familiar with the terrain and knows the exits of these caves, it is easy to block the troops hiding in it.
Of course. This was not the strength of the Soviet army.
So our plan is to... hide in this cave for the whole day to accumulate energy, just wait for the Soviet army to fight a day with Persour. It's time for us to go out...
But I quickly realized that something was wrong... I haven't moved for a long time.
"Is the Soviet army the same?" I asked Vadud, not far from me in a low voice. He was responsible for surveillance of the Soviet army these days, so only he knew the most about this matter.
Vadud was also surprised like me... He shook his head and replied: "No... They should have started fighting at this time, first firing cannons, and then launching an attack under the cover of helicopters..."
I couldn't help but feel silent after hearing this... It's obvious that the Soviet army is waiting for something, but this battle has been fought for so many days. What else can they wait for? I think there is only one possibility, waiting for air power and
Artillery coordination...
However, the coordination between ordinary air force and artillery does not take so long... Just like we have been waiting in the cave for more than an hour, but the Soviet army outside still has no movement.
"Battorney General, what do you think?" Zhao Jingping asked in a low voice.
"It's very likely..." I frowned and said, "The Soviet army is preparing to launch the final attack!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping nodded in agreement.
It means that the Soviet army has to mobilize a considerable force. When the ammunition and supplies are already facing insufficient... they also have to mobilize a considerable force to attack Xijie
O'San Valley... obviously hopes to fight quickly.
Of course, it is right to fight quickly. On the one hand, the Soviet army cannot afford to consume ammunition... They also have to reserve some ammunition to face the counterattack of various guerrillas after the clearance. On the other hand, the Soviet army cannot afford to wait, because
The longer you wait, the more likely it is to have reinforcements in the Sigeo Valley.
So this can also be said to be the last struggle of the Soviet army... If you win, pull out the nail in the Xijieo Valley. If you lose, you may have to retreat because of the excessive amount of ammunition consumption...
This is also beneficial to us, because this is telling us that the Soviet army is at the end of its strength!
But the problem is...it's daytime now! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
