Chapter 60 Mines

I guessed it right... The Soviet army knew that the vast majority of our troops were equipped with AK74s, and their combat effectiveness was very strong... Otherwise, they would not have been able to defeat the Soviet airborne troops and flee without their armor in a single encounter.

, even when the Soviet army was unprepared.

From this, the Soviet army guessed that the troops stationed in the Gesio Valley to rescue the Gesio Valley at this time were us... They had previously attacked Kabul and defeated a mechanized infantry battalion, and then blew up the troops of the Salang Tunnel.

The important thing is...both of these actions caused the Soviet army to stop its ongoing raids, disrupting the Soviet army's overall plan.

In addition, this time we took away the Higeo Valley that they were about to eat... This can be said to be a new and old grudge. It would be strange if the Soviet commander was not so angry that he jumped and scolded his mother.

Of course... I didn't see the Soviet commander's angry look, but I felt it... Shortly after the Soviet army retreated, batches of artillery shells were fired from a distance, followed by several aviation

The incendiary bombs... only blew up that section of the valley like a mountain of fire.

Fortunately, we had already expected this move by the Soviet army, and the valley is also very large... fifty kilometers long, with an average width of two kilometers... In short, it is a large area and it takes a while to walk from one end to the other.

All day long.

So, we just need to move to another place casually...the Soviet bombing will be in vain.

But the Soviet army bombed us... They did not send troops to clear us...

It goes without saying what the reason is... The Soviet army's previous clearing campaign was too fierce, so that now they don't have enough ammunition to deal with us, and the Soviet commander is not stupid... Before, he only fought

It took so much effort for a guerrilla force. Although they almost defeated it, they still fell short in the end... So now, the Cigeo Valley has been replaced by a force with stronger combat effectiveness. How much effort will it take to defeat it?

Beat it down?

So in total... let's wait until we have enough ammunition to deal with it slowly next time. Anyway, we now have a clear grasp of the enemy's position.

In fact, I think the Soviet commander thought wrong... Although our combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than that of the Pesul guerrillas, the problem is that we are not familiar with the terrain of the Chigeo Valley, so... if the Soviet army can

If you really want to use some ammunition to fight us again... I'm afraid we may not be able to bear it. After all, our air defense capability at this time can be said to be quite weak... This can be said to be our flaw!

Of course, the Soviet commander has no way of knowing whether we are familiar with the terrain of the Chigeo Valley, so from his point of view... it is also right to choose not to fight!

So this gives us a breather...

The first thing I did was to immediately ask the mules and horses that had been prepared by the base to start delivering supplies to the valley. These supplies included food, weapons, ammunition, etc. At this time, the mountain roads built before played a big role...

...It is conceivable that if Pakistan still has only two mountain roads leading to the Shigeo Valley as usual, then the Soviet army will only need this letter...

There are many ways to blockade this, such as building fortifications at the commanding heights next to the mountain road. If you want to pass the mountain road, you must lay down the commanding heights. Another example is laying mines on the mountain road... This is a simple and quick method, just like Ah

Duzai said that the Soviet helicopters can lay mines. They sent helicopters to scatter the mines on the mountain road... This mountain road is basically blocked.

But in fact it is not that simple. The reason is that Soviet landmines are not suitable for the terrain in Afghanistan... There are two types of mines deployed by helicopters in the Soviet Union at this time. One is ordinary round mines. This kind of landmines are heavier. This thing If it were used in the Soviet Union, there would be no problem... because the Soviet Union was covered in snow most of the time. The helicopter dropped the mine to the ground... and the mine naturally sunk into the snow.

But the problem is...

The ground in Afghanistan is mostly made of rocks, so if a landmine is thrown on the ground in Afghanistan... it will smash to pieces or be detonated on the spot... Landmines that explode on the spot are not called landmines, they are called bombs. And because of its large size, even if it didn't break, it wouldn't be detonated... Such an oblate object placed in the middle of the road is like a wind on a bald man's head. Who would step on it!

The other one is butterfly-shaped, and it is also made of plastic. It contains liquid explosives, which cannot be detected by metal detectors... The power of its explosion is to just blow off the target's soles... Peisul was killed by this kind of thing. Injured by landmines.

But what’s very annoying is that...the plastic used in this kind of land mine is all green...if this is used in the Soviet Union, there will be no problem. In the Soviet Union, besides snow, there are grasslands and forests...Throw this green butterfly bomb into it , it’s really a natural protective color.

But this is Afghanistan... There is something green lying on the gray-yellow land or on the rocks. Anyone with eyes can see it! The reason why Persul was blown up by this thing was entirely because it was at night and there were people lurking around. Many Soviet soldiers did not dare to use flashlights...

Therefore, the Soviet landmine blockade did not cause us much trouble... According to Zhao Jingping, who is in charge of logistics and transportation, the guerrilla members of the mule and horse teams used those landmines as targets for marksmanship practice... I saw a few from a distance. There are landmines on the road, so I take out my gun and make a few "bang bang" sounds...

Another reason is that...the Soviet army's landmines are not enough to block all our mountain roads...This is also caused by the contradiction that the Soviet army has too many mountain roads to block and the logistics transportation capacity is very tight.

In fact, insufficient logistics capacity has been a drawback of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan...

At this time, the Soviet Union was actually trapped in a strange circle. In order to protect its logistics supply lines, it required more equipment and more troops, and more equipment and more troops required more supplies and transportation. More supplies require more transportation and military protection...

This caused the Soviet Union to be in a state of insufficient supplies during the entire process of invading Afghanistan... In the end, the Soviet Union had no choice but to consider improving the quality of soldiers sent to Afghanistan without increasing its number of troops, because a good-quality soldier A soldier and a soldier with poor quality... they consume almost the same supplies, but good soldiers can obviously improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
