The battlefield fell silent at that moment, whether in the south or north... When the Soviet army learned that the helicopter group suffered heavy losses, it no longer had any interest in continuing...
I think... when they contact other units on the radio, they would say depressedly: "Go back! We have failed!"
Indeed... the Soviet army had failed. When we beaten the fleet of forty helicopters to only six left and fled in panic, it was already failed. This was not just a problem of us shooting down more than thirty helicopters.
, and the Soviet soldiers loaded in the Mi-8 helicopter... Each Mi-8 has a platoon of Soviet troops, and they are well-trained Soviet airborne soldiers... Although these airborne soldiers are also not suitable for Afghanistan
The battlefield is undoubtedly much better than other ordinary troops, so it is an inestimable loss for the Soviet army.
In other words, the Soviet army temporarily lost its air superiority, and it was no longer possible to use the airborne troops to form a pincer attack on our No. 5 mountain pass...unless the Soviet army still has the courage to plan parachutes in the No. 05 valley.
However... I am afraid that the Soviet commander will agree, and the Soviet airborne troops will also not agree.
This means that the Soviet army's strategic goal of winning the Xigeo Valley this time is impossible to achieve... Another way to achieve is "failure".
On the contrary, there were shocking cheers in our guerrilla camp. The Afghan guerrillas even exaggeratedly shot their guns to celebrate... This seemed to be the habit of the Afghan guerrillas, and they were always excited.
When they shoot guns upwards... But this seems to be a wish. Most of the time, they run around in the mountains, and there are basically nothing else in their hands except guns and bullets. When they want to celebrate, they are surrounded by gongs and drums.
There was no firecrackers or something, so I could only vent my vent, and over time it became a habit.
This habit may not be much for us now, but if the supply is cut off by the enemy...
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping reported to me: "The enemy has begun to retreat!"
Without thinking, I replied two words: "Close the door!"
"Pass the order!" Zhao Jingping shouted to the walkie-talkie: "Close the door!"
So another battle started...
After a gunshot, only a dozen minutes... the Yamaguchi occupied by the Soviet army returned to the control of the Afghan guerrillas.
This is not a question of whether the Soviet army is strong or not, but the Soviet army stationed at the mountain pass is not prepared for the guerrillas at all...
On the one hand, they always thought that the battlefield had extended to the No. 5 Passage, so of course there was no danger in the No. 1, No. 2 and other passes, not to mention that it was still during the day.
On the other hand, they would never think of the Afghan guerrillas hiding under their feet...
In addition, the news of the frontline defeat made them unintentionally fight again... So the Afghan guerrillas took advantage of this time to climb out of the tunnel and launched a raid on the Yamaguchi, and took the Yamaguchi back in a few seconds.
This caused the Soviet army to be in chaos... You should know that the mountain pass is the throat of each section of the valley. Losing the mountain pass means that the retreat route is blocked, and it also means that the logistics supply is blocked...
Mechanized troops are simply a nightmare!
What's the use of a tank being more advanced? A tank includes armor-piercing shells, only 30 or 40 shells. After the shells are shot, it will be a pile of scrap iron!
What's the use of an armored vehicle running? Without diesel, it depends on when you can run to!
...
As a result, the loss of the mountain pass quickly caused panic among the Soviet troops. A large number of Soviet troops drove various vehicles and tanks to the mountain pass like a tide... They hoped to stand firm on the mountain pass before our army had yet to stand firm.
When I was at the foot, I forced myself out of the mountain pass with the firepower and armor of the mechanized troops!
Of course this idea is correct... In fact, the Soviet army in the south successfully rushed out of the mountain pass...
But this is normal, for two reasons:
On the one hand, the Soviet army in the south did not go deep into the hinterland of the valley. They only captured two passes from beginning to end, and their main force was always stationed outside the valley... The few passes were captured, and the main force was still outside the valley...
This makes it much easier for them to rush out of the valley.
On the other hand... we did not arrange much troops in the south, not only were there fewer troops, but mortars, anti-aircraft artillery, etc. were also more in the north and less in the south. This also caused the Soviet army in the south to rush out without much effort or casualties.
Two mountain passes... After all, the Soviet army is a modern army, and they have a large number of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, etc., while the guerrillas in the south have assault rifles and light machine guns... Are these equipments?
It may be able to block the Soviet army's mechanized troops.
But the north is completely different...
The Soviet army to the north had a total of one regiment of mechanized infantry battalions and another battalion of airborne troops... After deducting the two companies placed behind the hall outside the valley and the losses and casualties in the battle, the Soviet army's general in the valley to the north
The troops are about one regiment.
This force is quite large, which is comparable to the total guerrillas I arranged in the north... If we really fight head-on, the Soviet army has the advantage in equipment and training, we are afraid that we will not be their opponents.
But the problem is... the Soviet regiment occupied a total of four mountain passes in Xigeo... Now all four mountain passes fell into our army, and this regiment was divided into four parts at once, each part only
Less than a thousand people... and these thousand people cannot echo the beginning and end and cannot support each other... The middle is separated by a mountain pass, and the mountain passes are only a few hundred meters wide, and the light machine guns on the fortifications on both sides can be strafed.
get.
There is a saying in China that unity is powerful... In fact, the same is true on the battlefield. If a force is divided into several parts that cannot be connected or coordinated, it is very likely that it will be defeated by the enemy one by one.
For example, now... the number of people on both sides of the enemy and us is similar, and the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in equipment and training... But we can use a small part of the troops to divide them into four sections, and then use several times the troops.
Eat it one by one.
Of course, the Soviet army also knows this. After all, they are also a combat country. Although they have not fought in the past few decades, they have finally accumulated a lot of combat experience... So there is also common sense, so their first reaction is to do their best.
Taking down the mountain pass to open up the connection between the troops, and at the same time opening up the supply line for the entire troops...
The Soviet army's attack was still the same as before... Under the cover of helicopter fire, it launched two-sided attacks on Yamaguchi...
Helicopters are still 24 meters... They can be said to be the only six remaining aircraft that the Soviet army has invested in 30 meters in Xigeo this time. They have escaped because they were in high-altitude reconnaissance missions. Now they are taking on the role of Su.
The mission of military to open up the retreat.
The ground troops are armored troops and airborne troops... The Soviet army was panicked, but I still clearly felt that their offensive was much stronger before.
This is actually very normal... The previous battle has nothing to do with them... This is a war in Afghanistan, without the spirit of defending the country, and winning or losing has nothing to do with you, so it is a big deal.
Most Soviet troops chose to protect themselves... In this case, if any Soviet army said they were fighting for the motherland and the people, they would definitely be laughed at by their comrades... because most Soviet troops believed that this battle would not be possible.
It is a trick played by politicians, they are just cannon fodder for politicians.
But now it's different... A whole regiment of Soviet troops was trapped in the Xigeo Valley, either rushed out or died here... And, because we almost bombed the entire Mi8 aircraft group before, so Su
The army has every reason to believe that we have the ability and determination to eat their regiment!
In the face of the threat of death... people will have two extreme reactions. One is to do nothing but beg for mercy. The other is to gamble with the enemy with the will of death. This is what we often do
The trapped beast is still fighting.
The Soviet army was obviously the latter... Just like what I saw in a telescope, the Soviet army rushed towards the mountain pass beside me under the cover of helicopters and tanks... They could not see the previous one at all.
The few people died and retreated and waited for fire support, as if they had become another unit.
Is the tank gun elevation angle not enough?
It doesn't matter, just drive the tank to the incline of the high ground... The angle of the incline just solves the problem of elevation angle. Although doing so almost exposes the tank to the enemy's firepower, it can at least provide some fire support to the charge infantry.
Even if it is destroyed, it can become a cover for the infantry behind it.
As for the life and death of the tanker himself... I can't think so much about it. If I don't do this, everyone will have to die here together.
The armor of the armored vehicle is too thin?
It doesn't matter... The armored vehicle has at least two layers of iron sheets. These two layers of iron sheets can block most bullets and shrapnel, which is better than infantry using flesh and blood to face the enemy's bullets.
As for the safety of the driver... there is no way, if you don't rush out, the result will be the same. It's better to compete!
The enemy's firepower is too fierce to rush up?
I can't care about so many... The Afghan guerrillas will not be ruthless against Soviet prisoners... The Soviets were invaders to them, and it would be better to die on the battlefield than torture!
So the Soviet army shouted "Ula" while rushing towards the mountain pass with their comrades' bodies... Not long after, they chewed down the No. 4 mountain pass.
This was beyond my expectations... So things on the battlefield will change unexpectedly at any time, just like now... On the surface, it seems that the Soviet army is already in a state of slump and will be wiped out by our army, but
But the situation suddenly changed! (To be continued.)
