I can understand the Soviet pilots' behavior... They fly at low altitude and occasionally fire rockets at several "bunkers" below. They do not want to vent their anger, nor do they want to be fun.
First of all, the Soviet army was the invaders... There is no doubt about this. Since it was the invaders, what else could there be "anger" to vent? On the day of invading Afghanistan, they should have thought that there would definitely be casualties in Afghanistan.
It’s impossible for others to tie their hands up and let you beat them!
Secondly, this is war... Even if Mi24 is well defended and has high security, there are still many uncertain dangers under the enemy's ground firepower... It is hard to say about war, for example, some people say the range of this pistol
At most, it can be fifty meters high... But sometimes this happens: just shoot the sky with a pistol, and kill a passerby hundreds of meters away.
Such things may also happen to Mi24, not to mention that Soviet pilots knew that we had at least bazooka, heavy machine guns, and air defense missiles, weapons that could pose a threat to Mi24.
So why is the Soviet helicopter flying at low altitudes?
One is reconnaissance, the other is a kind of firepower test.
Needless to say, reconnaissance is circling over our heads, see the enemy's terrain clearly, observe what the enemy is doing underneath, record the enemy's possible firepower points and key defense parts... Remember all these things
It will be another support for the Soviet army to clear out in the near future.
The firepower test...the purpose is even more obvious, which is to force us to take out some "advanced" weapons or weapons that threaten helicopters to fight against them, so that the Soviet army can know what our weapons and equipment are
The same degree. And use this analysis, plan, and decide how to fight in the future.
From these aspects... the Soviet commander was quite cautious and quite smart.
But it seems that they can't be cautious... because they really need to count it down. The Soviet army has already suffered three defeats in our hands. And each time they lost a lot under our hands, especially the second time...
...Almost even a single hair of ours was blown up, and the entire Sarang Tunnel was blown up, which directly affected the logistics supply of the entire army and even threatened the Soviet army's status in Afghanistan... The Soviet army relied on modern equipment
, If you can't move those modern equipment without supply, then you can die... Maybe the Afghan government forces are better than you!
Therefore, the Soviet commanders had every reason to believe that our unit was an extraordinary force, so it was common sense that their actions would be so cautious.
However, I did not expect that the Soviet army would upgrade our firepower reconnaissance step by step...
At first, we occasionally had a low-altitude flight and strafing every day... This strafing is sometimes made of machine guns and sometimes rockets. The target is also the "bunker" we built.
As I said before... these "bunkers" are the work we do during the day and tomorrow, not real things, but because they are indeed built on some commanding heights inside the valley, they are likely to land on the Soviet army.
The soldiers pose a threat... Sometimes we even get one or two machine guns inside and poke out of the shooting hole, which is really the same as if it were really, so it can really attract the attention of the Soviet army.
The quality of this Soviet pilot is quite high... You should know that there is a valley here, with cliffs and undercurrents everywhere. If helicopters fly inside, they will end up being destroyed and killed if they are accidentally flying. However, the Soviet pilots are flying
But helicopters can travel freely inside, and they can lock the target and launch it in flight... After hitting the target, they make another move to pull it high and go away. This set is like showing off in front of us. Or it can be said that
It's a blow to our morale...
At first, this is nothing, I will order the soldiers to swallow this breath.
But later... the Soviet army's firepower reconnaissance became more and more intense. It increased from occasionally a day to several times a day, from one, two to four, five, and the target of the attack even changed from the original bunker to the original bunker.
Houses...
As a result, casualties in the valley increased one after another... The bunker is a fake target. Even if someone in the bunker is doing it, because he was prepared, he could just see a helicopter flying out of the bunker and run out of the bunker for life. The loss is not
Very big, but the Soviet army turned the direction of the strike to the private houses... This is hard to guard against. The people do not have the sensitivity and agility of soldiers, not to mention that those are still the homes of the people... When many people see the helicopter dive down, the first
The reaction is not to leave your home, but how to protect your home... This is why many people often stand on the spot and don’t know what to do.
So soon there were scenes of miserable scenes in the valley... Fortunately, there were crying outside the house that was bombed into ruins, and there were obviously many relatives inside that they had no time to escape... This relative may be her father, maybe she
The child...but no one can help her because the house has already lit a raging fire.
"Captain Yang!" At this time, the most impulsive one was Aduzai. He immediately ran to me and asked in a dissatisfaction tone: "We have guns, cannons, and a lot of bullets and shells... Why
And let the Soviet helicopters kill our people? Are you really protecting our Sigeo Valley? If so... why can't you see all this? Our people are suffering and being massacred... They are because
Believe in us, believe in us being able to protect the valley…”
"Comrade Aduzai!" I interrupted Aduzai, who was a little incoherent, and said, "I can understand your feelings, and I also regret the casualties of the people, but we cannot do it now... If we do this,
Then we are hitting the Soviet army's treacherous plan. This is exactly what they want to see, forcing us to expose our firepower points and force us to expose our strength!"
"If we don't reveal our strength, what's the use of these strengths?" Aduzai still couldn't understand this: "Aren't we just trying to shoot down the enemy's planes to protect our people? Then now we want to
When doing it…”
"Let's do it!" I said: "Let the people go into the air-raid shelter during the day and go back to live at night... Anyway, there are many vacant houses in the Sigeo Valley. One of them is knocked down and moved to another!"
Aduzai left indignantly, as if he thought that I was too weak to do so, and he might even think that I just wanted to possess Xigeo and did not take those people to heart.
It was then that I realized that sometimes pressure does not just come from the enemy... (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
