Below the valley is a road. Before the Afghan War, this was a famous tourist attraction in Afghanistan. There was a gurgling stream next to the road, and high mountains on both sides. The mountains were green and the air was fresh.

But now, the road here has long been bumpy. The Afghan guerrillas constantly attacked the Soviet transport troops. Some abandoned trucks were on the side of the road. When the Soviet tanks drove in here, they were all holding back a nameless anger.

Afghanistan is mountainous. It is a must-pass road to transport supplies from Tajikistan in the north. At the same time, it is also the road of death for the Soviet transport troops. On this road, I don't know how many soldiers of the transport detachment were killed.

Those damn Afghan guerrillas! Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the tank battalion ignited the fire of war in their hearts, found the guerrillas, and crushed them into meat paste!

The tanks rumbled and moved, forming a winding straight line in the mountainous area. The roads here were narrow, and the tank troops could not play their advantages. On the contrary, they were very vulnerable to attacks on both sides.

On a hillside, Masood quietly used a telescope to watch the Soviet armored troops approaching gradually. This first-in-line force was very strong, and at the same time, without infantry protection, it was the best target.

"RPG ready." Masood whispered.

As soon as Masood finished speaking, he saw Fahim quietly crawling to his side and said, "Captain, Muhammad suggested that we let the Soviets go deep into the valley first, and don't rush to launch an attack."

Let them in first? Masood looked at the Soviet tank troops. At this time, they were most vulnerable to attack. Moreover, he had already planned the retreat route. He would kill a few tanks first!

What right did Muhammad have to interfere with his command? Yesterday's sneak attack on Gulbahar was indeed a great achievement, but he had never fought here and didn't understand the terrain characteristics here.

Thinking of this, Massoud said, "Continue the attack!"

Dozens of guerrillas carrying RPGs quietly approached the road along the winding hillside. The range of RPG is one thousand meters, but it completely lost its accuracy at three hundred meters. They had to get close to kill the Soviet tanks.

A tank battalion, more than fifty tanks, were still driving on the mountain road at this time, not knowing that the Afghan guerrillas' attack was about to begin.

On the other side of the hillside, Muhammad, who had planned to retreat, watched the guerrillas on the opposite side quietly enter the attack position, and his face changed.

Looking for death!

The mountain road here is narrow, and it is difficult for Soviet tanks to form an effective defense. Attacking here may achieve certain results, but the peaks on both sides are not very high, and the interval in the middle is large, with a wide field of vision. This means that once there is a battle here, the Soviet helicopters will arrive quickly. As long as they fly over from the valley over there, they can easily cover the position where Massoud's guerrillas are hiding with rockets.

Watching Massoud's guerrillas start to move, Muhammad quickly looked at the terrain here and pointed out the position to several of his guerrillas.

Herman and others immediately carried Stinger missiles and ran to the high mountain. If the Soviet helicopter flew over, it would definitely pass by them.

The T-62 tank continued to move forward, the tracks kept turning, and the dust was flying below.

The turret kept turning left and right, aiming at the peaks on both sides at any time, but unfortunately, the gun barrel was not high enough.

Vonkovsky looked at the high mountains on both sides, and suddenly shouted in the radio: "Loader, use machine guns to sweep both sides."

The terrain here is complicated. As he continued to go deeper into the mountains, Vonkovsky's vigilance was constantly increasing.

The muzzle could not be raised so high, but the anti-aircraft machine gun on the turret on the side of the loader was just high enough.

Hearing Vonkovsky's order, the loader climbed out of his position, opened the hatch, formed a shield in front, and began to pull the anti-aircraft machine gun at the same time.

The rumbling tank made the loader feel uncomfortable in the head. When he came out and blew the mountain breeze, he felt cool. With a rustle, the bullet was loaded. Before the loader had time to aim at the hillside, he suddenly saw people moving on the side of his side!

Afghan guerrillas! Seeing those people carrying RPGs, the loader shouted while laying down the anti-aircraft machine gun and began to shoot at the Afghan guerrillas.

"Cover!" Masood shouted, and with his shout, the guerrillas ambushing on the hillside opened fire.

"Da." The Efield rifle in Fahim's hand made a sound, and a bullet flew into the head of a tank soldier. The guy had just pressed the trigger button and fell on the machine gun before shooting.

"Swoosh." A rocket flew towards a tank. It brushed the back of the tank's turret, flew past without any danger, and exploded a few hundred meters behind.

The guerrillas carrying RPGs rushed forward one after another, but unfortunately, they were hit by Soviet tanks before they could finish their shooting. The difference between victory and defeat was just a few seconds.

Only one tank was hit and caught fire, and the guerrillas who had fired the RPG were completely blocked by machine guns on their way back. They hid behind rocks, not daring to show their heads or run back, and were in danger of being completely wiped out at any time.

"We have to save these brothers," said Muhammad.

The people on the opposite side were divided into two groups. The guerrillas who went to attack with RPGs were suppressed in the valley and could not move, while the guerrillas on the hillside above wanted to come down to rescue, but they were worried about the fierce firepower of the Soviet anti-aircraft machine guns. Several people wanted to run down to rescue, but were shot into several pieces by 12.7mm bullets.

If the Soviets were followed by infantry, they could completely encircle and surround these guerrillas who came to attack from the other side, and they would be in a desperate situation.

Now, the Soviets' attention is all on the opposite hillside, and Muhammad has not responded yet.

"How do we save them?" Khwaja asked Muhammad.

How to save? Muhammad gritted his teeth and said, "Attract the Soviet firepower."

The tank machine guns suppressed the guerrillas on the opposite side. If the Soviet firepower was not attracted, the guerrillas who attacked by surprise would definitely be killed, and attracting the Soviet firepower would mean that the team would face great pressure.

At this time, there was no choice.

"Understood." Khwaja squatted behind a stone and raised his SVD sniper rifle steadily.

"Da." With the sound of gunfire, a 7.62mm high-precision sniper bullet flew over. The side wind in the valley kept affecting it. It flew while deviating to the right, but hit the back of a loader just right.

The shield in front could only protect the front half of the body, and their backs were exposed.

Khwaja kept pressing the crosshairs of the scope on the tanks, aiming and shooting, without even having time to see the effect after shooting.

At the same time, other guerrillas were also preparing. They lay on the hillside, aiming with full concentration. There were big guys beside them.

A sturdy tripod, a long cylinder, and a slightly larger aiming device on the side. This was the TOW missile provided by the United States.

RPG can only approach 300 meters before attacking, which puts Masood's guerrillas in danger, while Muhammad's men use TOW missiles with a range of more than 3,000 meters.

Their position is very safe.

A beam of infrared light shines on the target tank. From now on, they need to keep the infrared beam on the tank without any deviation.

"Boom." As the button is pressed, a fire flashes behind the cylinder, and a thick and long missile emerges from the cylinder. When it comes out, the four folding wings at the front and back unfold, and a cable is dragged at the tail, and it begins to fly forward quickly.

The mountain road is rugged, and Muhammad only brought five such TOW missiles. Now, five shooters have successively fired the missiles they carried.

The missile was flying fast, receiving infrared laser beams while flying, and receiving instructions through the cables behind to adjust its course.

"Boom, boom, boom." The engine roared, and when the Soviet tank soldiers found the missiles flying on the opposite hillside, they were no longer calm.

How did the Afghan guerrillas have anti-tank missiles? No one answered their questions. What they needed now was how to avoid such missiles!

Start first, the faster the better, and when the missiles fly, brake quickly. Only in this way can you avoid the missiles!

The cross-machine gun firepower was gone, and every tank was moving quickly. It was still unknown which tank the missiles were aimed at.

Feeling the pressure on their side was reduced, the guerrillas carrying RPGs poked their heads out from behind the rocks one after another.

The guerrillas who had already launched rockets and only had the launch tubes left ran back quickly, while those guerrillas who had not yet had the opportunity to launch continued to bravely carry their RPGs and ran towards the tanks.

The TOW missiles were flying fast, and the entire tank convoy was moving quickly. Puffs of black smoke were coming out of the sides of the rear, and the valley was filled with a strong smell of diesel.

The black smoke would also block the sight of the missiles. Seeing the valley gradually covered by black smoke, Muhammad felt inexplicably anxious. Now, he could only completely trust the soldiers he trained to operate the advanced TOW missiles well.

The infrared rays passed through the black smoke and continued to shoot at the tanks. The warhead of the TOW missile was about to penetrate the armor of the T-62 tank.
