Dominate South Asia
Chapter 167 Transport Aircraft
Now, even if they are current combatants, no Soviet soldier is willing to be a member of the transport team in the rear.
Facts have proven that the transport team has the highest mortality rate. Along the way, they will be constantly harassed and fought. The abandoned vehicles on both sides of the road are telling them thrilling stories.
Therefore, in addition to strengthening the strength of the convoy and adding more anti-aircraft guns and armed helicopters, the 40th Army also began to implement a rotation system. The troops stationed there rotated for transportation tasks.
The mission now is carried out by a company of the Motorized Rifle Battalion of the 177th Regiment of the 40th Army. Ever since they entered the Panjshir Valley, they have been on heightened alert. Every mountain pass on both sides may be ambushed by the Free Afghan Army.
Now, it is no longer just about expelling those nasty sneak attackers, it may evolve into a head-on confrontation at any time. The Afghan Free Army is enough to eat up all the transportation teams like them.
However, the previous batches of transportation teams have all passed through intact. The weather is so cold now, maybe these Afghans are hiding in their caves.
Company Commander Vladimir sat on an anti-aircraft gun truck and kept looking at the valleys on both sides with binoculars. He was highly nervous. After all, this time he was transporting more than just food.
He looked at the truck in front of him again. Although it was well disguised, covered with canvas and sacks on the sides, part of the tail was still exposed. The cargo was too long. The carriage was twelve meters long, but the cargo was Fifteen meters long, it cannot be dismantled, so the three meters or so behind it can only be exposed to the outside.
The convoy keeps moving forward, one valley after another, with abandoned trucks on the roadside. This is simply a road of death.
Vladimir's hands were sweating unconsciously. He watched the mountains on both sides recede continuously, but he was still moving forward.
The two Hind helicopters at the top were roaring constantly. In order to prevent the Stinger missile attacks below, the Hind helicopter flew to an altitude of about a thousand meters. In this way, it could also observe the surrounding wider area. Condition.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, the doe above the head said on the radio: "There is not much fuel, prepare to return. I wish you all the best. A doe will take over in fifteen minutes."
"Roger that," Vladimir said.
Due to communication problems, two other escorting Hinds were flying in from Bagram Air Force Base, but it still took time to fly here, and these two had excessive fuel consumption and could only return early.
There's only a fifteen-minute gap, so there shouldn't be too many problems, right? Vladimir sat on the emplacement of the anti-aircraft gun and was even more vigilant.
Facts have proved that this kind of anti-aircraft artillery is the best weapon. They have successfully used anti-aircraft artillery to drive away many attacks by the Free Afghan Army.
"Khwaja, we met the big guy this time." Osama, who was lying there on the hillside in the distance, carefully observed the convoy with a telescope and said to Khwaja at the same time.
"Isn't it just a convoy transporting food?" Khwaja whispered: "We have fought many."
"No, look at the car in the middle." Osama said: "Behind and behind, there are four anti-aircraft guns trucks, all of which are protecting that car. This shows that the goods in that car are , It must be very expensive! Look, the cargo is several meters long, don’t you think it’s strange?”
"The Soviets sometimes pull some extra-long cargo. It's not like we haven't seen it before." Khwadja said: "Maybe they are steel bars used for repairing fortifications."
"You idiot, look at that outline, it's clearly the outline of a plane!" Osama said, "You almost missed the big fish!"
airplane? Looking at it again, it really looks like it, but Khwaja still doesn't understand: "The Soviets use trucks to transport planes? Are they crazy? Can't they just fly over?"
"There must be something weird. We'll find out when we fight it." Osama said, "Do you want to do it or not?"
"Do it!" Khwaja answered affirmatively. Since everyone is here, naturally they can't leave empty-handed.
"Let's take action while the helicopter has just flown away!" Osama said: "Aim at the anti-aircraft guns trucks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns first! Pay attention, the truck in the middle is protected by me!"
"Understood." Khwaja said: "We have experience, and we have to carry all the food back."
The attack came very suddenly.
When Vladimir was sitting on the gun emplacement, wearing a leather hat and his face was still stiff from the cold, a light bullet flew and just hit him in the head. Blood spurted out, and he was helpless. Fell on the anti-aircraft gun.
The gunner on the other side was hit almost at the same time, and then, from the top of the mountain in the distance, several shining tail flames flew over. Those were anti-tank missiles!
"Boom, boom, boom." The anti-aircraft artillery shells immediately flew towards the hillside, and the dense projectiles turned those hillsides over.
And those anti-tank missiles were still flying fast. In a short period of time, they hit the anti-aircraft guns, and each anti-aircraft gun was overturned.
The remaining Soviet soldiers quickly jumped out of the car, found a place to hide, and prepared to wait for reinforcements.
The exchange of fire raged, and the number of Soviet soldiers continued to decrease.
When the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distant valley, they were suddenly shocked. The devil was coming! This cavalry unit is the devil's unit. I heard that if caught by him, life would be worse than death!
They all gave up resistance and wanted to retreat to the back. After leaving the temporary shelter, they were killed by the soldiers on both sides who were in a high position. When the cavalry rushed up, they were trampled into meat paste.
The battle was very exciting. The Afghan Free Army lost more than 20 people, most of whom were blown up by the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery fire. Except for the initial losses, they have always been firmly in the upper hand.
At the same time, this is also because the two escorting female deer flew away. If the female deer was in the sky, the battle would not be so easy and one-sided.
The previous transportation tasks were completed very easily, which made the top leaders of the 40th Army begin to relax. The Afghan Free Army also needed to rest. Winter was so cold that it should not come. They mobilized more troops in the previous few times, and this time, only this last special transport cargo was left, which was no different from the ordinary food transport team.
After killing the Soviet soldiers, Osama came to the front of the truck transporting special cargo. When the tarpaulin on it was lifted, Osama's eyes were surprised.
It was really a plane!
The wings on both sides were removed and placed on the side of the fuselage. The tail fins at the rear were still intact. The huge air intake in the front and the glass cockpit made it a real plane!
"Quick, get this plane away!" Osama said.
Getting off the horse, Osama jumped into the cab of the truck, where a Soviet soldier's body was lying on the cab, and the blood had stained the seat red.
Osama didn't mind the dirtiness here. He pulled the Soviet soldier's body down, got on, and started the truck.
Bypassing the destroyed anti-aircraft trucks and other vehicles in the convoy, they chose to ambush in this wide area just to take away the spoils easily.
From a junction in front, Osama drove carefully and turned to another deeper valley.
Most of the mountain roads in the Panjshir Valley are rugged, and only here are there roads that can be used by trucks.
In the distance, a rumbling sound was heard. Seeing two Hinds flying in the distance, Khwaja said, "It seems that there is still a battle. Osama, your people retreat first. I will kill these Soviets and then join you."
"Okay, let's meet at the Lion's Mouth in front." Osama said.
Osama started the truck and disappeared in the winding valley. He didn't know that his action had attracted a strong reaction from the Soviet army in Afghanistan. They dispatched more than 30 Hinds and several motorized infantry regiments into the mountains to search for Osama and the hijacked fighter plane.
Osama's actions were also very quick. Before the Soviets reacted, he passed through the Lion's Mouth, many mountain roads, broke through two Soviet outposts, left the Panjieshier Valley, and moved to the Jalalabad Mountains.
When he returned to the protection of the Second Regiment of the Free Army, Osama was relieved. It was just a robbery of the Soviet convoy. He often did it before, but he didn't find that the Soviets made such a big move.
After hiding the truck in the mountains of Jalalabad, Osama breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Muhammad.
Peshawar.
Winter is a quiet season. The air battles filled with gunpowder have come to an end temporarily. Taking advantage of this winter, speeding up the formation of combat effectiveness of the Tomcat fighters is what the Pakistan Air Force needs to do most.
Muhammad often stays in the Peshawar Air Force Base and studies various plans with Arslan.
The Backfire has been repaired and has restored its former glory. Just yesterday, an excellent test pilot from Grumman came to the Peshawar Air Force Base and flew the plane away.
Today, two E-2 and an EC-130H electronic jammer are about to fly to the Peshawar Air Force Base.
In order to welcome the arrival of these three aircraft, Pakistan has sent personnel in advance to the United States to learn how to operate them. Today, the Americans flew these three aircraft, which means that the Pakistani Air Force has officially stepped onto a new level.
"Boom, boom, boom." There was a roar in the sky in the distance. People at the base stood beside the runway, watching the three planes appear in the sky.
Two of them had a special shape, with a mushroom plate on the top and four vertical tails on the tail.
