ps: Another place advanced today. Brothers voted very hard. Yesterday’s monthly ticket was the first time a soldier got 100 tickets in one day... The chicken has been frozen for a long time!
"This meeting... is to convene comrades to discuss the defense of the valley!"
I immediately organized a meeting after we came to an end on the issues of supplies and people's migration... It's not that I want to rush it, but it's impossible not to rush it... According to our past experience, we know that the Soviet army's big attack every one to two
In a few months, enough ammunition can be accumulated to carry out a comprehensive sweep or clearing.
But this does not mean that we will definitely have one or two months... The reason is that we are the biggest enemies of the Soviet army, and enemies are extremely jealous when they meet... It is entirely possible that the Soviet army, uncharacteristically, only accumulates a small amount of ammunition.
We will carry out a clearing campaign specifically targeting our valley.
What will we do if we are not prepared? Should we wait for others to come to our rescue?
This is obviously unrealistic. The guerrillas have never been united. Seeing us being besieged by the Soviet army, we were afraid that it would be too late to hide. Even if the guerrillas who accepted our assistance wanted to save... but were unable to save them. The US military bases
Not to mention, although they are allies with us and have common interests, they have always been the ones to defeat and we have won the war for a long time... This will inevitably make the Americans jealous and want to see us lose miserably, so that they can
They also have some face with the Afghan guerrillas.
Of course, I believe that Smith will also show off. After all, we have some personal relationships now, and it is impossible to do nothing when seeing the alliance being surrounded. But it is just a show, and it is impossible to have any real effect on Cigeo.
So I didn’t have this hope from the beginning.
"First..." I said: "Let's first understand the previous defense of the Cigeo Valley."
As I said that, I raised my head towards Aduzai.
Perhaps Aduzay did not often attend meetings like ours, so he stood up nervously and said: "Xigeo's defense... this was all arranged by Persul! I... I don't know much!
"
"Just tell me how you fought!" I asked: "Just tell me the distribution of troops before the battle and how they moved at the beginning of the battle!"
"I know this!" Aduzai nodded: "We started like this. More than a thousand guerrillas were divided into three parts, two of which contained more than 300 people, distributed at both ends of the valley.
Stationed near the mountain pass, another part is located in the valley
During that time, there were more than 500 people... Pesul heard that the Soviet army would attack from the north side of the valley, so he transferred more than 300 of the 500 people to the north. Unexpectedly, the Soviet army would attack from the south.
Attack from the side and directly drop airborne troops into the middle of the valley to surround us!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, I quickly understood... Pesul focused its defense on a relatively narrow place in the valley, which is what Aduzai called the "mountain pass."
This certainly makes sense. There is no doubt that these mountain passes are places where only one man can pass them. Moreover, there are often insurmountable mountains on both sides of the mountain passes. In addition, there are as many as fifteen mountain passes in this valley...
Therefore, if the Soviet army still attacks according to conventional methods, it will be obvious that
Then we will encounter such a problem... After paying heavy casualties, we conquered a mountain pass with great pains, only to find that the guerrillas did not suffer much casualties at all... They left a lot of landmines and then withdrew.
Another mountain pass. What the Soviet army will face is an attack on another mountain pass...
There are fifteen mountain passes. On average, it takes two days to attack one mountain pass and fifteen days to reach the middle of the valley... There are two ends of the valley, and the Soviet army can attack from both ends at the same time.
The Soviet army's logistical supplies were not enough to support a fifteen-day comprehensive clearing, and the main force of the guerrillas in the middle could still maneuver... either to reinforce the guerrillas guarding the mountain passes at both ends, or to go around the mountain roads to attack the Soviet supply lines, etc.
wait.
This method of defense is indeed feasible...but this feasibility is only for guerrillas or Afghan government forces. Because these troops do not have an air force, let alone airborne troops...It is precisely because of this that Pesul simply cannot
I didn't consider if the other party had
What should the airborne troops do? In addition, the Soviet army came to divert the tigers away from the mountain... So the Soviet airborne troops parachuted into the middle of the valley... and surrounded the command center of Pesul.
, the entire guerrilla force completely lost its center of gravity and ability to resist.
"Soviet airborne troops are difficult to deal with!" the instructor frowned and said, "It is true that the Chigeo Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the same is true for the Soviet airborne troops... They only need to use parachutes to capture the valley by surprise.
At any point, we will be divided into several sections and become incoherent... And this valley is a full fifty kilometers long, and we simply do not have enough ability to defend every commanding point or dangerous place in the valley...
…”
Of course what the instructor said makes sense. The advantage of the airborne troops is that they jump from the sky... They are not affected by any linear obstacles. Even if we build fortifications and iron walls at both ends of the valley... they can also do it.
Easily overcome these obstacles and directly occupy the important places in the valley... If we have more soldiers than we can use up, it will be easy to solve. We must build complete fortifications at every commanding height or important place and prepare enough troops...
When the airborne troops come down, they will kill each one.
But the reality is... there are only more than 2,000 of us in total, but the Xigeo Valley is more than 50 kilometers long, and the large and small commanding heights are countless...
The conference room soon fell into silence. All the cadres frowned and smoked, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of smoke.
"Let me tell you..." Scar looked around and said, "What's there to think about? The Soviet Army's airborne troops are very powerful... Then let's strengthen the air defense equipment! Anyway, the Soviet Army mostly uses helicopters to land...
...We also have ways to defeat them!"
"It's easy to say!" Zhao Jingping retorted: "Let's not mention that our air defense equipment is seriously insufficient. Even if we have enough air defense equipment... do you know from which direction the Soviet helicopters entered the position? You have a way to take this out?
A fifty-kilometer-long valley is surrounded by anti-aircraft fire? Even if there is so much equipment, there are not that many people, and even if there are that many people, there are not that many bullets!"
I also understand the meaning of Zhao Jingping's words... What this means is that anti-aircraft firepower can never keep up with the enemy's pace. The reason is that fighter planes fly in the sky and can change direction at any time, and the speed is very fast. What about anti-aircraft firepower?
?Things like anti-aircraft machine guns or small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery... These things are heavily equipped on the ground. If you have to maneuver, it is impossible to catch up with the enemy's aircraft.
It is for this reason that air defense weapons are generally hidden secretly...that is, they are very carefully camouflaged and must be deployed on roads where enemy planes are likely to pass by, otherwise the enemy planes will not fly there, no matter how well hidden they are.
It's all in vain.
But in Afghanistan... there are bare stone mountains everywhere. It is difficult to hide, and it is even more impossible to maneuver quickly. Large quantities of equipment are unrealistic... so only anti-aircraft weapons are used to prevent the Soviet airdrop.
Obviously not a good idea!
"There is actually only one way to deal with airborne troops!" I said.
"Oh!" My words immediately attracted the attention of all the cadres.
"Mountain Pass!" I pointed to several points on the map.
"Yamakou?" Everyone was confused when they heard this.
"Comrades, look... there is a mountain pass every few kilometers in the Xigeo Valley. There are fifteen mountain passes in the entire valley, which divides the valley into fourteen sections. Each section is like a 'sausage', and the connection between these
The 'sausage' is the mountain pass... There are many commanding heights in the valley, and we can't defend it... But what if we defend the mountain pass? We can build strong fortifications at the commanding heights on both sides of the mountain pass... This fortification includes
Air defense, anti-artillery and anti-infantry fortifications, and stored ammunition can hold on... The dangerous terrain of the mountain pass determines that as long as there is a living person in the valleys on both sides, this living person still has weapons and ammunition... Then the Soviet army will
Don't even think about passing through the mountain passes, otherwise they will be naturally cut into several parts! If we can defend these mountain passes...then the Soviet airborne troops will be surrounded by us at once!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but suddenly realized... In this way, we don't need to attack the airborne troops dropped into our interior at all, but wait for them to attack us!
Although this change sounds a bit insignificant... isn't it just a change of ownership of offense and defense? The gap in troop strength and equipment has not changed.
But this change is no small matter in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan... When we fought in the Vietnam War, the offensive and defensive forces were almost evenly matched at two to one... But in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, because the terrain is rugged and difficult to navigate and there is basically nothing
Cover...so if the offense and defense are tied at three to one, it's pretty good.
In other words...if we deploy a company on the high ground on both sides of the mountain pass, then the Soviet army can capture it with one battalion. It will be good.
"So..." Zhao Jingping looked at the map and said, "We are going to spread our power to every node?"
"Yes!" I nodded: "Based on our past experience in fighting the Soviet army...the Soviet army will not use too many troops in our direction, just like last time...the total number of Soviet troops is only in Xijie
The Austrian direction invested 3,000 men. Is it because the Soviet army did not have enough troops? Their troops were indeed insufficient, but it was equivalent to the Soviet army with a total number of 100,000. An additional 1,000 or 2,000 would be considered.
Nothing...why don't they do this? The reason is that the supply from Kabul to Chigeo is difficult. If they invest a little more troops...they will probably exceed the upper limit of their logistics capacity, so...I believe that as long as we do
Be well prepared and fully capable of guarding this Xigeo Valley!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
