"Battery Commander!" Just as we were busy arranging explosives on the snow in various high grounds, Zhao Jingping handed the microphone to me and said, "It's Colonel Smith's phone number..."
"Um!" I couldn't help but my eyes lit up when I heard this. Smith called at this time... It seemed that something was good!
I took the microphone and showed my identity: "I am Yang Xuefeng!"
"Captain Yang... How is the situation now?" Colonel Smith asked anxiously in the microphone.
"The situation is very bad!" I replied: "The guerrillas were caught in the Soviet army's plan of discord, and now they have no determination to resist. The defeat in the Sigeo Valley may be much faster than they imagined!"
"Oh!" Colonel Smith couldn't help but sigh after hearing what I said: "It seems too late..."
"What's too late?" I asked knowingly.
"That's right..." Colonel Smith replied: "After I reported the situation in the Sigeo Valley to the US government... the US government also felt that they were indeed responsible for the Sigeo crisis, so I agreed with your previous advice, that is,
Limited, equipped with "Sthorn" surface-to-air air defense missiles under US surveillance... The first batch of missiles is expected to be delivered in three days, with a total of 100... I originally hoped that this batch of missiles could solve the problem of Xijie's
The valley's urgent need now seems..."
I suppressed my inner joy and tried hard to pretend to be regretful and said, "Yes... to solve the urgent problem in front of me, maybe it is that the distance water cannot quench the near thirst, but we are still full of expectations for this batch of missiles. Now...
We will try our best to persevere for as many days as possible... Even if we can't hold on, we will scatter into the mountains to deal with the Soviet army. At that time, we may need these missiles even more..."
"Well! Don't worry!" Smith said: "There will be no problem with this batch of missiles... As your ally, I sincerely hope that you can stabilize the situation...Three days. It only takes three days...Three days in three days. We will be in three days.
We will find a way to transport a hundred portable air defense missiles to the valley...you are ready to receive them!"
"Okay! Thank you very much!"
When I put down the phone, I couldn't help but sigh... Finally, I got the trick of "Poisonous Sting"... But then I thought about it and it wasn't right!
If...I mean...if...if we turn defeat to victory in the Sigeo Valley in less than three days, does that mean Smith has stuck that batch of missiles again?
Although I think... Smith may not have such an idea. After all, he is also a soldier. The idea of a soldier is to win a battle... The air defense missile equipment of the Afghan guerrillas no matter what, it will add a very heavy weight to the victory balance.
This is also of great benefit to Smith.
But... I'm not sure if the US government will repent, after all, they have been in conflict before. With a swaying left and right... I left the crisis in the Sigeo Valley and finally decided to agree.
This plan, if... we win again without "stinger"...
Thinking of this, I immediately summoned Zhao Jingping to me... and said, "The original plan to stick to two days will be extended... I must be able to stick to at least four days!"
"Battery Commander, this..." Zhao Jingping said with some embarrassment: "It is no problem to persist for four or five days. But it will inevitably cause greater casualties, and there will be many dreams... What if the Soviet army knows our plan?
”
Of course, Zhao Jingping's concern makes sense. You should know that we are burying a portion of explosives in a certain valley and arranging two people to detonate. Then we pretended to be defeated by the Soviet army and retreated... that is to say, what we buried
The explosives and arranged personnel were all under the Soviet reconnaissance... If the Soviet army discovered it, it would be that all the previous efforts would be wasted. Then we would really go to the mountains to fight guerrillas...
But I think it is worth taking this risk... The reason is that air defense equipment has always been a shortcoming in our Xigeo Valley, and the "Sthorn" missile can solve this problem well to fill the gap in air defense equipment.
In the future, the interests of our army and even the entire Afghan guerrillas will be unimaginable... so it will definitely be worth it to pay for this casualty!
So I gritted my teeth and ordered: "I can't care about so many things, pass on the order... I originally decided to hold on for two days to hold on for four days, and the detonation time has also changed from two days to four days!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping turned around and conveyed my order.
Two days changed to four days... This is not a big burden for the soldiers stationed in Yamaguchi and the artillery-forced positions. The reason is that Yamaguchi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the artillery-forced positions are arranged very scattered...
We retreat a little later. Then it will take time for the Soviet army to remove them one by one, so it is not a big problem to delay three or four days, but there will definitely be some casualties in the process.
The most difficult ones are those soldiers who are guarding the cave and waiting for detonation orders... You should know that every time the Soviet army occupied a valley, it would send scouts to search the valley everywhere. This is necessary... Otherwise, who can guarantee it.
Will the opponent send a surprise soldier lurking in the rear and scapegoating their way... The Soviet army has suffered losses in our hands, so of course we will gain wisdom at this time.
So what those soldiers had to face was fighting wits and courage with the Soviet reconnaissance... Later I found out that several soldiers were actually found by the Soviet army, but fortunately... these soldiers were very smart, and the agents came out.
As for the warriors... they can all stand alone.
They knew it didn't matter if they were searched, but the important thing was that the plan could not be discovered by the Soviet army... So they buried the fuse and other things in advance, and then pulled the explosive pack in the cave... This looked like an ordinary person who would rather die than surrender.
Brave behavior, even if the Soviet scouts were suspicious... Then when they dug out the snow layers and gravels to find the bodies of these soldiers, it is probably after our plan to launch it!
So we secretly relied on the lives of the soldiers to protect them. Until the early morning of the fourth day... we finally waited for the transport team of the "Sthorn" missile...
This batch of missiles was transported to us without any trouble... The reason is that we still have two secret mountain roads that the Soviet army did not discover, and this batch of transport teams had nothing else to transport... A total of fifty people per person
People came in with a missile on their backs. In order to speed up the speed... they didn't even bring a self-defense AK47, each of them brought two grenades!
According to their words, what can I do with an ak47? When I encounter the Soviet army, Isn’t it the same thing to be annihilated? So in this case... the only function of carrying an ak and ammunition is to… slow them down
The speed increases the possibility of being discovered by the Soviet army!
As for those two grenades... they were used to blow up missiles when they were discovered by the Soviet army... one missile exploded, and one bombed itself!
I also felt a little surprised... Where did Smith find these Afghans who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Americans? I found out after asking... As long as they can complete this task, they and their families can go to the United States.
Refuge... This is probably what we often say, "There must be a brave man under heavy rewards."
"Battleman Yang!" Although several Afghan guerrillas were dressed, they obviously had American soldiers who walked up to me as soon as they took off their headscarf. The leader said to me in fluent Chinese: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Mike...
…The US government sent me to guide the use of this batch of missiles!”
"Well! OK..." I smiled. Although I knew that Lieutenant Colonel Mike's mission was definitely not just for guidance, I still enthusiastically held Lieutenant Colonel Mike's hand and said, "Thank you very much for your help, these missiles are
We have solved our urgent needs... Thank you for your hard work along the way, let's go and have a rest first!"
"Captain Yang?" Lieutenant Colonel Mike couldn't help but wonder: "Don't we need to guide the use of missiles?"
"Oh! I forgot this!" Actually, I don't care much about this. The reason is that our agents have fired Dragon anti-tank missiles and 'blown pipe' air defense missiles, so they are "poisonous" to this
"It won't take long to get started. What's important is that this "poisonous sting" is in our hands...
"If it's convenient for you now..."
"Of course it's convenient!" Mike replied: "The war is so tense now, every little time is precious for us... How can we go to rest?"
I was a little surprised by Mike's words... because I found that he seemed to have put himself in our position and considered the problem just now.
Then I soon knew the reason...
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" Just as Mike's men were talking with the soldiers of the Agent Company about how to use the "Stinger", Mike walked up to me and asked, "I hope I can know the current situation of the valley.
, and your plan to deal with the Soviet army…”
"I'm sorry!" I replied without thinking: "This is a military secret, and I have no obligation to tell you!"
"But Battalion Commander Yang!" Mike still insisted on his opinion: "My mission is to protect the safety of these missiles... If you don't tell me this, I can't be sure whether these missiles will fall into the hands of the Soviets.
!”
"It's very simple!" I pulled out a grenade and put it in Mike's hand: "Now you can guarantee it!"
As he said that, he turned around without looking back and left... He was thinking in his heart, who the hell are you? He just came here and knew the situation and the plan... He looked like he wanted to lead us
! It's just a lieutenant colonel... Colonel Smith also wants to be polite to me. Why is the Americans like this?... It's a matter of not giving him some colors to see! (I'm not done.
