章節 32: Chapter 32
043, please reply, received." A noisy voice came from the radio, accompanied by an order.
Muhammad picked up the radio, pressed the talk switch, and replied in unclear words: "Received, received, 043 calling, 043 calling, hello, hello."
Muhammad inherited all the memories of his previous life. As a special forces soldier, he sometimes conducted joint military exercises with the armies of Russia and other Central Asian countries. These commonly used military terms can be clearly expressed in Russian. Now, he deliberately pretended that the radio signal was interfered, said a few words, and then turned off the radio.
Sitting in the back was Khawaja, who said to Muhammad, "We can get out of the mountain by crossing the mountain from the front."
The guerrillas lived in the mountains, where they thrived like fish in water. But now they had to cross the mountains and enter the vicinity of Jalalabad.
On the outskirts of Jalalabad, there is an air force base, which is now the base for Soviet Mi-24 helicopters.
After several battles, Muhammad's anger towards these helicopters finally reached its peak. If these helicopters were not destroyed, the guerrillas would be chased everywhere like rats. So, he formulated this bold battle plan, pretending to be the Afghan government army, entering the helicopter base and blowing up those helicopters!
It is already the late night, so we must act quickly. Only by entering the female deer's base before dawn can we complete the attack at the lowest cost!
At the same time, he only took these dozen guerrilla fighters with him, and the rest continued to stay in the mountains to protect the villagers.
The engine of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle roared. The slope of the hill was almost over 40 degrees, and the vehicle body could be felt tilting, as if it would overturn at any time. Everyone held the handrails beside them tightly and prayed in their hearts, "Don't overturn, don't overturn."
Finally, the car reached the top of the hill and leaned forward again, it was time to go downhill.
Muhammad's head was always exposed outside, which was also the favorite method of armored soldiers. They would drill inside and look through a periscope. The field of view was too narrow, so it was more comfortable to watch it this way.
The engines around him were rumbling all the time. After fighting for several days in a row, Muhammad was still full of energy. He looked into the distance in the night. The rolling mountains disappeared, and the flat land between the northern mountains and the western mountains was Jalalabad.
Jalalabad is located in the eastern part of Afghanistan, close to the Pakistani border. The Kabul River and the Kunar River run through it. It is the capital of Nangarhar Province. It was built by Akbar the Great of the Mughal Empire and is an ancient Buddhist center. Faxian and Xuanzang have passed through it. It is an important transportation center between Afghanistan and Pakistan. After the Soviet Union took control of Afghanistan, it also became a key city with heavy troops stationed here.
What the Soviets did not expect was that when the Afghan regime was overthrown by them and a puppet government was re-established, Afghan guerrillas emerged like mushrooms after a rain. They were elusive and constantly ambushed, and the Soviets were exhausted to deal with them. However, helicopters were mobile and flexible and could provide rapid support at any time. Therefore, helicopters became the Soviets' powerful weapon in encircling and suppressing the guerrillas.
If Muhammad wants to have a better life as a guerrilla fighter in the mountains, he has to hit the Soviets' weak spot, that is, destroy the helicopters here!
Entering the flat land, the armored vehicles moved faster and drove onto the dirt road towards Jalalabad.
Right at the mountain pass, we encountered a Soviet outpost, which guarded the passage in and out of the mountain and set up roadblocks.
Muhammad barely even looked at it, as he put his head underneath and rumbled over in the armored vehicle. Before he reached the roadblock, the other party had already moved it away.
This army went into the mountains and suffered heavy losses. The soldiers at the outposts here all knew it. They were a defeated army, an angry army that could explode at any time. They were very conscious and didn't even ask.
They would never have thought that it was the guerrillas who came out in armored vehicles. This was almost impossible because the guerrillas did not know how to drive armored vehicles.
Tracked infantry fighting vehicles are completely different from wheeled ones. They don't have steering wheels and rely on joysticks. The joysticks on both sides control forward, reverse, and turning. Without training, you can't operate this thing at all.
However, these things are not a problem for Muhammad. This infantry fighting vehicle is very similar to the domestic ones and is very easy to use. In fact, Muhammad can not only drive infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, but even helicopters. The training content of special forces is very extensive.
After passing the checkpoint, Muhammad stuck his head out again. The car lights were on and it was safe here.
After driving for another dozen miles, Muhammad's expression became serious. In the open space outside the city, he could see the lights of searchlights and the female deer on the tarmac.
The Soviets were on high alert. It was almost dawn, the time when people usually sleep the deepest, but people here were still busy.
Under the searchlight, seven or eight people were busy beside a Hind. The top engine hood was opened, and the masks below and on the sides were also opened. They were performing maintenance intensively.
The Hind was originally intended to be used in Western Europe to accompany armored forces in charges. In complex and changeable mountainous areas such as Afghanistan, the Hind's engine is underpowered and susceptible to various cutting air currents, resulting in frequent mechanical failures, which has placed a heavy burden on ground crews.
The base here is also very simple, so simple that there is no hangar, and all repairs and maintenance are carried out in the open air.
There are soldiers standing guard outside the base. There are two T-62s used as fixed bunkers at the intersection, and patrolling Soviets can also be seen inside.
The Soviets guarded the place so tightly that it was impossible to break in directly. You could fool the checkpoints in the mountains, but you couldn't fool the Soviets here.
We have to think of another way to create chaos!
Muhammad braked the car and gave brief instructions. Hermann and a guerrilla fighter got out of the car in advance, carrying the mortar, and disappeared into the darkness.
The infantry fighting vehicle continued to move forward. All the soldiers inside the vehicle were ready. They held guns in their hands and were ready to stick their heads out of the hatch above their heads at any time to destroy the Soviets!
"Khwaja, aim as I taught you and don't be impatient." Muhammad said to Khwaja who had climbed onto the turret.
"Understood." A 73mm grenade was stuffed into the barrel. Hevaja pressed the button and watched the turret turn. Then, he fixed his eyes on the sight. Since the target was also covered by the crosshairs and the distance was very close, there was no reason for him not to hit it.
"Stop!" A Soviet soldier at the checkpoint stood at the intersection and shouted to the armored vehicle: "Which unit are you from?"
The armored vehicle stopped and the driver came out of the hatch. He wore an armored cap and a black mask and said to him, "Mechanized Infantry Division, the guerrillas may come to the helicopter base for a surprise attack. The military has ordered us to come and support you."
The other party said it seriously, but if there was support coming, why didn't they receive the order from above? Moreover, it seemed that something was wrong?
Oh, right, it should be the squad leader in the turret who should be answering him, why would he let the driver answer? This squad leader is really arrogant! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more suspicious and shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll go check with my superiors."
After saying that, he walked back and prepared to go to the checkpoint to make a phone call.
Muhammad turned off the armored vehicle and turned off the lights, seemingly waiting calmly.
The other sentries stood guard on the left and right, watching the sentry enter the booth and start making a phone call.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a burst of fire appeared in the distance. A mortar shell was fired from a distance. With a sharp whistle, it flew into the air force base and exploded on a tarmac.
Fortunately, there was no helicopter there, but a team of Soviet soldiers who had just patrolled over there were hit by artillery shells. The two closest to them had their legs blown off in the explosion. Blood was constantly flowing out of them, but they still had consciousness in their upper bodies and were screaming in pain. The rest of them who were lightly injured were hit by shrapnel in their bodies and were also screaming in pain.
It was indeed the guerrillas! The Afghan guerrillas were attacking their own airport with mortars! Suddenly, an alarm sounded at the airport.
Countless Soviet soldiers, holding guns, rushed out of the barracks, got on the cars, and ran towards the direction of the mortar fire.
Even the two tanks that were used as fixed bunkers were started at this time and rumbled forward.
"Hey, let's go!" The sentry, who had just answered the phone and had not spoken yet, saw the mortar fire, immediately put down the phone and shouted towards Muhammad's armored vehicle.
They were closest to the shelling point and were most likely to catch up with the guerrillas.
"Buzz, buzz." Muhammad started the engine, but for some reason, the engine just wouldn't start.
These sentries had already jumped onto Muhammad's armored vehicle. After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound of the engine roaring. Finally, they became impatient and jumped off the armored vehicle and chased after him on foot.
This mortar shell was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and almost all the garrison soldiers rushed over.
At present, although guerrillas have begun to emerge like mushrooms after a rain, they have not yet become a major force. The Soviets have occupied all the cities and are constantly launching sweeps into the mountainous areas in an attempt to completely pacify Afghanistan.
The Soviets had never gone into the mountains to fight the guerrillas before, and there had been no precedent for the guerrillas to take the initiative to attack. The current guerrillas simply did not have that ability, so when this shell flew over, all the Soviets were furious.
When all the Soviets rushed out, Muhammad's armored vehicle finally started with a rumble. He pushed the operating lever hard, his mouth was about to drool. So many female deer were his breakfast!
