Of course, this kind of tug-of-war is not simply an advance or retreat...
In fact, because the Soviet army had an absolute advantage in firepower... Although the Soviet army's logistics supplies had been cut off by our army at this time, the ammunition they carried with the army could still last for a while.
In this case... if you just simply advance and retreat, you will create opportunities for the Soviet army to have the energy to kill our army.
Apuqiu's style of playing is... dig one or two trenches as front positions a few hundred meters in front of the main peak. These front positions are connected by traffic trenches, making the guerrillas safe when retreating...
I believe there must be suggestions here for Sa Hai, otherwise Apuqiu, who was a hunter, would not have known this.
Later I learned that this is indeed the case... This defense method is the result of Saheed's communication with Apchu.
The advantage of this is that... when the Soviet army attacked the front line, the Afghan guerrillas did not need too much defense. They shot a little gun for a while and left a lot of mines near the trenches, barbed wire and other things along
Retreat in traffic trenches... The characteristic of landmines and barbed wire is that they are easy to clean up. Each time the guerrillas spend little time easily, and when the Soviet army comes up, they spend a lot of time and even waste a lot of time.
The ammunition is removed, and if you accidentally lose several lives.
When the Soviet army finally finished cleaning up, the guerrillas accumulated strength and used their condescending advantages to seize these positions... Once they were taken back, they would throw away a lot of mines and barbed wire for the Soviet army to clean up.
This made the Soviet army very annoyed. Every time it came, it didn’t look like a war but more like a hard worker!
In the end, the Soviet army finally couldn't stand it... In fact, it can't be said that the Soviet army could not stand it, but their ammunition was constantly decreasing, and the combustion of various chariots was also decreasing... This forced them to fight quickly, so
A very barbaric, direct but very effective method was adopted... and a large-scale blast of traffic trenches in frontier positions was used to use explosives, which made certain progress.
Apuqiu's defense has bought us a precious forty minutes... and ten minutes more than the scheduled time. If I hadn't ordered it again and again, Apuqiu would have guarded the Pass No. 3, but I
But he felt that there was no need for this, so he ordered Apuqiu and others to withdraw from the battlefield.
The Soviet army cheered again... Every time they captured a mountain pass, it meant that they were one step closer to the outside world. It also meant that they were one step closer to safety, so of course this would greatly boost their morale.
I believe that the commander of the Soviet army will definitely shout at them: "Comrades! There are only two mountain passes left! Unless you want to die here, or be the captives of those Afghans..., pick up your guns
, follow me and rush out!"
"Ula!"
Under the instigation of the commander, the Soviet soldiers shouted again and rushed towards the No. 2 mountain pass...
The first thing that came was a long-range artillery... When long-range artillery could be used, the Soviet army would be generous, because it did not require the consumption of the supplies trapped in the Soviet army. Unfortunately, most of the fortifications on the mountain pass of our army were
They are all built on edges, so the damage that long-range artillery can cause is very limited.
What surprised me at this time was that more than a dozen Mi8s flew from Kabul...
Of course. The Mi 8 that flew in this time was not for parachute... unless they wanted more Soviet troops to be trapped in the valley by us.
They are obviously used to make up for the shortcomings of Mi24... because I saw in the telescope that Mi8 are all equipped with weapons... but I soon knew that their functions are more than that, because after they arrived at the battlefield
The first thing I did was to airdrop a batch of ammunition into the No. 2 Valley.
This is the benefit of Mi 8... It can provide various support to the front line very conveniently and quickly, including delivering ammunition supplies and even transporting wounded people... It is no wonder that the Soviet army called it "porter".
Maybe it was because I got a batch of supplies, or because I got more than ten Mi8 air support... Mi8's firepower is not weak at all, because it is a heavy helicopter, so I often carry four rocket nests and add them.
Three machine guns participated in the battle (three machine guns were located in the middle of the nose, two hangers on the left and right), which did not include the machine guns that were shot out from the cabin... It was just that it was not a dedicated armed helicopter, so it was defense and flexible.
There is still a big gap compared with Mi24 in terms of sex.
But this was enough to boost the morale of the Soviet army... After a brief rest, he shouted again to rush towards the No. 2 mountain pass...
Pass No. 2 can be said to be a decisive pass... This is because the Valley No. 01 is relatively wide, and Pass No. 1 is also several hundred meters wider than other passes. This terrain is more suitable for the Soviet army's large-scale mechanized troops.
Expand, so if we can't stop the Soviet army on the No. 2 Mountain... it's basically just to teach them some lessons as the instructor said, let them escape.
The Soviet army also knew this very well. Therefore, the offensive against the No. 2 Pass was particularly fierce... After the long-range artillery bombarded, it immediately became a mortar, followed by helicopters covering batches of infantry to launch a charge towards the Pass...
It should be said that the helicopter cover is more effective than any other fire cover at this time, because it has no dead corners and can also flexibly and quickly maneuver to the enemy's fire for precise strikes and suppression... Under the attack of rockets and missiles
, Strong fortifications like bunkers are nothing, let alone infantry in the trench... Helicopters just fly along the trench and then sweep the machine gun "waving" hard, and it will take only a moment to do so.
Tear a big gap in the enemy's defense line.
But our army was also fully prepared at this time... At this time, our defense focus was not on the No. 2 mountain pass position, but on the artillery force position scattered into the mountainous areas!
So helicopters actually couldn't find many targets on the high ground of Pass No. 2... Most of the soldiers hid in air raid shelters.
But the Soviet infantry could not rush to this position... because as soon as they charged, the mortar shells would fly from all directions like eyes... They only made the Soviet army turn over and over
The blood flowed into a river, and the several charges launched in succession were unanimous and had to retreat after suffering heavy casualties.
This is the reality on the battlefield... No matter how brave the troops are, how strong the morale of soldiers is... the body cannot compete with bullets and shells made of steel and gunpowder!
