Dominate South Asia

Karina ran out of breath, her chest heaving. Muhammad kept staring at Karina, which caused dissatisfaction among several Panjshir guerrillas present.

Muhammad keenly noticed that when Karina saw him, there was a kind of surprise and panic in her eyes, but she regained her composure later and tried to avoid eye contact with him.

"Karina, what's the situation at the pass?" Masood asked.

"Everything is normal." Karina said: "Captain, on the way here, I found some Soviets moving towards the pass. They are probably going to block our pass. If the Soviets block the pass, it will be difficult for us to move forward."

Masood was relieved when he heard this, and at the same time, he was satisfied with Muhammad's analysis and judgment. The Soviets really wanted to block their own pass, and they had already started to act!

However, in the mountains, the Soviet troops did not move as fast as his own troops. If he wanted to leave, the Soviets could not stop him at all.

"Karina, the Soviets were moving towards the mountain pass, and you came from the mountain pass. Didn't the Soviets stop you?" Muhammad asked Kalina.

Hearing Muhammad's question, Kalina immediately said: "Of course not, I came here by the small road."

"It turns out that the Soviets are as stupid as donkeys, and they only know how to take the main road." Muhammad's words were accompanied by a sneer.

"Mr. Muhammad, what do you mean by this?" Fahim asked.

"Mr. Masoud, I must remind you that there is something wrong with this Karina." Muhammad said, "I am sure that the mountain pass has been occupied by the Soviets, and an ambush has been set. If we go there, we will be ambushed by the Soviets."

"Mr. Muhammad, you said Karina is a traitor to our guerrillas?" Hearing Muhammad's words, Fahim said dissatisfiedly, "You just met Karina for the first time, why are you so sure?"

All this is intuition. The Soviets came very suddenly, and they will learn from the lessons of last year's encirclement and suppression. They will occupy the mountain pass first, and then encircle and suppress the guerrillas. There is nowhere to escape. And this Karina in front of him makes Muhammad more vigilant.

If it were normal times, Muhammad would never say it right away. Without definite evidence, it was obviously inappropriate to say this to an enemy soldier. But now, if he didn't say it, he would watch Massoud's men enter the Soviet encirclement and be annihilated. The resistance against the Soviets would disappear in part, which was not what Muhammad wanted to see.

"Captain, we must hurry. If we delay any longer, when the Soviets completely control the mountain pass, we really won't be able to leave." Karina didn't care about Muhammad's accusations and continued to speak to Massoud.

Masood stood up and said, "Order, all team members to head to the mountain pass immediately!"

"Mahmad!" Muhammad said, "There is a trap there!"

Masood walked past Muhammad. When the two were closest, Masood turned to Muhammad and said, "Mahmad, it is our honor to fight side by side with you. Now, I hope your troops can retreat with us. When the Soviets have been hanging around in the mountains for a long time, we will come back to kill them. Also, I would like to introduce you to Karina, my wife, who will never betray me."

Wife? Muhammad felt dazed at this moment. Did he make a wrong judgment? This woman is Masood's wife, so she will naturally not betray Masood. But why do I feel so familiar? It seems that this woman is someone I know. Maybe I am overthinking? Maybe my memory is confused?

Hundreds of Panjshir guerrillas, led by Massoud, began to move to the back of the mountain along the rugged mountain road. Only Muhammad's troops were left here.

"Instructor, what should we do?" Durrani asked Muhammad.

Muhammad suspected Massoud's wife, which made the Panjshir guerrillas somewhat dissatisfied. As Massoud took his people away, the unity that had just been won was about to be broken again.

Looking at the blue sky outside, the sun had slipped to the west and it was getting dark.

"Let's go, we'll follow behind and keep a distance of five kilometers." Muhammad said.

Everything was his own judgment, or perhaps it was his own misjudgment. Muhammad could only think of this in his heart. Keeping a distance from Massoud's guerrillas, he could rush to rescue when Massoud was in danger, and he would not be surrounded by the Soviets with Massoud's people.

Muhammad thought of Kalina's eyes again. There was sophistication and maturity in her eyes that did not match her age. Especially her figure, although wrapped in a robe, was still sexy and graceful. Why did he feel so familiar? This Kalina should have stayed in the Panjshir Valley all the time.

With the bare mountain under his feet and the AK74 rifle in his arms, Masood walked quietly.

Next to Masood, Kalina followed closely, looking at Masood's face from time to time.

"Shah, are you angry?" Kalina asked Masood.

Masood turned his head and said to Kalina: "Of course not, I trust you. I saved you from the valley last year. You almost died in the hands of the Soviets. How could you be a traitor to our guerrillas?"

Masoud remembered that last year, Karina was passing through the valley and happened to encounter a Soviet transport convoy. The Soviets saw Karina's beauty and actually wanted to strengthen her. Masoud led the guerrillas to ambush the transport convoy. A convoy arrived and rescued Karina.

Karina escaped death and was grateful to Masud. Later, she became Masud's wife and was obedient to Masud. Moreover, she learned to use a gun and became a staunch warrior like Masud.

Was it a show last year? Impossible, the price for the Soviets was too high. Masoud quickly threw away this idea in his mind. It must be that Mhammad made a mistake in his judgment! Instead of trusting an outsider who had just fought with him, Masoud preferred to trust his wife.

Mhammad was overly worried. The Soviets wanted to control the mountain pass. However, in the mountains, the Soviets simply could not move their own guerrillas. Those armored vehicles could not move faster on the main roads than on the smaller roads.

"Quick, speed up." Massoud looked at the sun in the west. It had already set on the other side of the mountain, and it would get dark soon.

After climbing over the first two mountains, we entered the narrow mountain pass. There were cliffs on both sides, and only the middle mountain pass could be passed. Once we passed the mountain pass, there were continuous mountains on the opposite side, and we could avoid it at will.

Let the Soviets wander around in this mountain first. The principle of guerrilla warfare is not to confront the Soviets head-on. The last time they ambush the Soviet tanks, it was a violation of the principle. They can't make the same mistake this time.

Masoud looked behind him, but did not see Mhammad's team. Once the Soviets blocked the mountain pass, it would not be easy for Mhamad's people to get out.

Thinking of this, Masoud stopped and said to Fahim on the side: "Fahim, take two team members and go back to lead the way for Hamad. No matter what, we are all guerrillas fighting the Soviets."

Masud knows the general picture. If Mhamad's guerrillas are eliminated here, he himself will feel sorry for Mhamad.

"Yes." Fahim led the two guerrillas and headed back the way they came.

The sky quickly became dark, and the cold wind blew. The guerrillas were covered in sweat as they walked. Looking at the mountain pass shrouded in night in front of them, they were full of strength.

"Work harder. We'll rest after crossing the mountain pass." Masoud said. He walked to a guerrilla carrying a machine gun and said, "Come on, let me help you carry it for a while."

The guerrilla had just handed the machine gun on his shoulder to Masud, and then he saw clearly that it was the captain, and immediately said: "Captain, I'm not tired, give it to me."

Masud had already put the machine gun on his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

This is an M1-type heavy machine gun. Although the tripod has been disassembled, it is still heavy and heavy. It is carried on a person's shoulder. Blood has long been oozing from the shoulder of this guerrilla. In the process of walking just now, The heavy machine gun kept rubbing his shoulders, and the thick calluses on his shoulders were worn out again.

Masud carried the heavy machine gun, walked a few steps, and suddenly asked: "Where is Karina?"

At some point, Karina had disappeared.

Karina has walked the mountain road here many times, and there is absolutely no way she could get lost. Before dark, Karina was still with her. Where is she now?

In an instant, Masoud remembered what Mhammad said, there is something wrong with Karina! There is a Soviet ambush here at the mountain pass!

"Stop moving forward." Massoud shouted: "Crete, take a few people and go to the mountain pass to have a look."

Going forward, there is a completely open area. If you are ambushed there, you will not be able to retreat.

"Da." At this moment, gunfire suddenly rang out at the mountain pass in front.

As soon as Masoud lowered his head, the bullet grazed his scalp and flew to the hillside behind.

"Click, click, click..." This was the sound of an RPK light machine gun shooting, and then, gunshots rang out from the hillsides on all sides.

Oops, we're surrounded. It's indeed a Soviet ambush!

"Retreat, retreat to the back!" Masoud shouted, putting down the heavy machine gun he was carrying and placing it on a rock: "Retreat quickly, I will cover you!"

After saying that, the heavy machine gun in his hand spit out tongues of fire towards the top of the mountain opposite.

"Boom, boom, boom." The roar of engines came from behind, and countless infantry fighting vehicles emerged from the side of the valley, completely blocking the gap behind them.

The encirclement has been closed!
