With the sound of a helicopter spiral breaking through the air, a large number of helicopters appeared in front of us.
Just like last time... the Mi 8 helicopter appeared in front of us. Ten Mi 24 were divided into two teams to provide cover for them on both sides, and the other six Mi 24 were hovering at a high altitude.
It can be seen that the Soviet army was very careful in this parachute operation... Their only sixteen remaining rice 24 were almost full... This is unusual, because when the battle reached white heat, only half of the helicopters were dispatched.
.For example, if the Soviet army had sixteen, then generally only eight were dispatched in one batch, and the other eight were replenished with ammunition and fuel in the rear, and the pilots also took this time to rest... Only in this way can the helicopter's continuous firepower be ensured
The energy of the pilot in the past.
If conditions permit, they may even be divided into three batches... Fighting is a highly mentally tense job, so it is reasonable to divide into three batches and fight for three or four hours, just because the last parachute landing
At that time, the Soviet army lost too much, so they had no conditions to fight in three batches.
However, now... they sent all the Mi 24 at once... This shows that the Soviet army can no longer bear the same losses as last time, which is why they were not worried until now when they were unable to catch up with the No. 5 mountain pass for a long time.
Reason for the reluctance to make the plane landing again.
This can also be seen from the six Soviet military 24 hovering at high altitude... Their mission is obviously to reconnaissance in the air to ensure that the danger can be discovered as soon as possible and the situation will be reported to the aircraft crew below, and if necessary, it will also be
Can respond quickly to emergencies condescendingly...
But what they didn't expect was...I usually don't repeat the same trap twice, because if I do this, then the trap can't be called a trap. Of course, if it's for surprise, it's a different matter
.
So... the Soviet army's arrangements are completely unnecessary in my eyes. As long as their fleet dares to enter this No. 05 Valley, they are destined to suffer heavy casualties again.
I was very lucky... because I saw the Mi8 aircraft group flying into Valley No. 05 soon and lowered the altitude and speed...
They must lower the altitude... As mentioned before, the optimal altitude for helicopter parachutes is between 400 and 800 meters. The parachutes of the Soviet airborne troops are 600 meters... The altitude of this parachute is relatively relatively
Safety, although the parachute drop effect will be better at 500 meters or below... The lower the parachute drop height means the shorter the air stagnation time, and also means the smaller the area of the troops spread, but the danger of the parachute itself will be greatly increased.
It is more rational to choose this height due to the influence of wind speed in the up valley and helicopter airflow.
They also have to slow down their speed, because the valley is narrow and curved, and if it is too fast... If it is accidentally hit the cliffs on both sides or collided with the helicopters beside them... You should know that each Mi8 helicopter is equipped with a Mi8 helicopter.
There was a platoon of Soviet troops. So although the Soviet helicopter pilots had good skills, they didn't dare to be arrogant.
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping, who had been guarding the walkie-talkie, reported to me: "In two minutes, the helicopter entered the ambush area of our army!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and immediately ordered: "Be ready for battle!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded and passed the order through the walkie-talkie.
I looked at the pointer on my watch and followed Zhao Jingping to calculate and verify the time... When the time was close to one minute, I immediately ordered: "Download smoke!"
"Download smoke!" Zhao Jingping repeated my order on the walkie-talkie.
So the battlefield changed quickly... The soldiers stationed at the No. 5 Mountain Pass all threw a large piece of smoke bomb... There were more than a hundred people in a company, each of which threw two or three smoke.
There were hundreds of bullets... So suddenly, the valley was filled with smoke bombs, and the wind direction of the valley was from north to south. The smoke rolled towards the helicopter group behind it.
And go.
And this is only part of it... In order to make the smoke thicker and spread faster, the lighter and heavy mortars distributed on both sides of the valley also fired smoke bombs into the Valley No. 05 one after another...
After a long time, the first half of the valley was shrouded in thick smoke.
But at this time the helicopter group, which was in the second half of the valley, was unaware of anything... The reason was that the valley was long and curved, and they could not see what happened in the first half, so although the smoke in front was like a tsunami
Rolling towards them, but they don't realize anything...
At this time, Mi24, who were responsible for reconnaissance missions in the air, played their due role... They were at high altitudes and soon discovered this danger, so they immediately contacted Mi8 helicopter group via radio... So soon
The Mi8 aircraft group began to climb... They obviously wanted to leave the valley before rushing in smoke. As for the parachute mission... let him go to hell. In this case, it would be good to be able to protect himself...
Who knows what else will be behind those Chinese people!
The decision of the Soviet pilot was of course correct... but of course I also considered this...
"The location of the Soviet army!" I asked.
"In the ambush range!" Zhao Jingping answered very quickly.
I ordered without thinking: "Detonate!"
"Detonate!"
A burst of "Boom..." sounded, and a piece of land exploded over the valley soon exploded.
This is the explosives and stones we placed on the cliffs on both sides of the valley last night... The workload is actually not big. All we have to do is put a dynamite pack next to the cliff and then pile it with basin size on it.
Stones... These stones can be said to be everywhere on the mountains in Afghanistan, and we can use them locally.
And we don’t have to worry about seeing anything wrong with the Soviet helicopters conducting reconnaissance, but just a few piles of stones... This is everywhere in the mountains of Afghanistan, and nothing is strange.
But although this stone is generally effective, just like now... the explosive pack explodes and gravels will fly everywhere. The pile of stones is at the top of the cliff, so it will go from top to bottom like a stone rain
The mess...
In this way, those helicopters that are climbing up will suffer. Although Mi8 can be said to be a combat helicopter... It can also be used for combat with weapons, so its safety is also very high. If there is no ordinary anti-aircraft machine gun.
It is difficult to cause damage to it if it hits the key. However, the stones flying from top to bottom are different... The cliffs on both sides are at least 2,000 meters, and the stones themselves are of great quality.
It is also quite hard... It falls from such a high place and the speed and mass is no less than a shell... Especially on the top, it is still the weak part of the helicopter. There is also spiral pulp on it... So a burst of "
The raucous sound of clanging and banging...
Some stones hit the helicopter's fuselage heavily, causing the helicopter to lose its direction quickly. Then, with a "boom", it crashed into the cliff next to it and burst into a pile of fire and fell down...
I know that this is at a height of six or seven hundred meters. If it falls, it won’t be after the explosion... Even if it doesn’t explode, it won’t be able to fall into the entire body.
Some stones hit the tail of the helicopter... After the smashing, the helicopter sank down... However, the Mi-8 helicopter is relatively strong. The tail of the aircraft has not been broken, so the helicopter can barely fly...
...But this is just barely enough, because the tail of the aircraft was bent and there was a problem with the balance torque. The helicopter quickly started to rotate. No matter how skilled the pilot was, he could not control it in the valley... So he persisted for a while
He also bumped into the cliff next to him.
More stones are spirals hitting the helicopter... The spirals are not only rotating at high speed, but also have a very large area... Large area means that the rate of being hit by the stone is high. If this is an ordinary
Things like a row of bullets, that's fine. These things are small in size and have strong penetration. Even if they hit the spiral, the damage caused is very limited... But if it is a stone falling from the sky, it's still
The stone falling at high speed... The stone falling at high speed hit the spiral that rotates at high speed... So there was only a crisp sound, and the whole stone was knocked far away... This is the power of the spiral that rotates at high speed
, but the spiral itself is not much better... It can be imagined that it will definitely be deformed and bent due to this impact, so the helicopter quickly lost its balance and staggered in the air like a drunken sweat...
…
That's what's flying in the sky... They must be balanced in the air, and once this balance is destroyed... Then no matter how thick their armor is, how advanced the weapons are, that's bullshit!
But we are usually on the ground while the helicopters are in the sky... There are armor in the middle to separate their weak balance system. In addition, the helicopters are fast and flexible in steering, so it is difficult for us to shoot them down, but...
...If it's top-down, that's another matter.
Just like now, just a rain of stone can make these seemingly powerful helicopter groups mess up...
Some surviving helicopters wanted to continue climbing, but then another rain of stones came... Of course, we would not detonate all the piles of stones at once. Although doing so could cause a great deal to the helicopter fleet at once.
casualties, but not persistent threats.
So the Soviet army soon realized that the result of climbing was only one way to destroy the plane and kill people... so they had only one choice... to rush out of the range of stone rain as quickly as possible.
But... what was waiting in front was smoke rolling like a tide!
