The raid on the police station was a brilliant victory for the guerrillas. Although the actual results they achieved were small, the significance it brought was extraordinary. After all, the guerrillas dared to attack township police stations, so what else? What don't you dare to do?
If you dare to attack the township police station today, will you attack the urban police station the day after tomorrow? Do you dare to attack the police headquarters in Kabul in the future?
Today we fight the police, tomorrow we fight the Afghan army. Then the day after tomorrow we fight the Soviet army?
Regardless of whether the guerrillas do this or not, others will definitely think so!
Therefore, the Afghan army and police soon began to increase their troops, preparing to defend and deal with guerrilla attacks.
But they underestimated the guerrillas a little. After beating the police station, Uncle Donkey Cart’s confidence doubled; he decided to skip the police and Afghan garrison, and they would go directly to fight the Soviets!
This plan was not a spur-of-the-moment idea. He had this plan when he was attacked by air raids, because the other cavalry team that was attacked by air raids included his distant relatives and his family. They lived in Paktia Province in the north, and they also lived there. Considered a big player.
Because there were a large number of camels at home before the war started, after the war, the other side also began to organize camel and horse teams to transport various supplies very early.
A week after they rushed back to their hometown, the remaining cavalry also returned to their hometown, but the personnel and materials were completely gone. Even the men in the other family were dead, leaving only a family of orphans and widows.
Uncle Donkey Cart is not familiar with his relatives, so he received help from them when he was suffering from famine when he was a child, but he still wants to do something for them.
The target of the guerrillas was the Soviet outpost dozens of kilometers away. The Soviet soldiers there were far away from the large troops and surrounded by rugged mountains. The guerrillas could quickly escape into the mountains after a sneak attack to avoid possible retaliation.
As for the means of attacking Soviet outposts, they were the 107 rockets they brought back.
And Ali, as the only professional artilleryman among them, took on all the work without hesitation.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, the Afghans chose to operate at night. Although for them, the lack of auxiliary equipment such as night vision devices would make it very difficult to travel at night. After all, walking on mountain roads at night when they can’t see anything, they have to carry ten A few kilograms of cannonballs may fall into the cliff if you are not careful. Although these falls of nearly 100 meters or even more than 100 meters in the mountains will not break into pieces, reopening is certain!
But the guerrillas also had a way. They tied a rope around everyone's waist, so that when someone accidentally fell, the team members in front and behind could quickly catch each other.
In the end, the guerrillas carried more than a week's worth of dry food on their backs and walked day and night for three full days before they arrived at the Soviet outpost.
This post is called a post, but it is also a complete military outpost. The Soviets dug up defenses and built bunkers according to war standards. Even the barracks were covered with camouflage nets in the sand.
The only thing that stands out is the two watchtowers at the front and rear of the base. These watchtowers are even surrounded by steel plates, which are enough to withstand 7.62mm medium-caliber bullets. There are huge searchlights on the left and right of the watchtowers. The lampshade is also thick bulletproof glass.
The Soviet troops in this camp are also equipped with 23mm anti-aircraft guns and BTR70 armored personnel carriers. In addition to a 14.5mm machine gun that can rotate and fire 360 degrees, the latter also has an AGS17 grenade launcher.
In addition, the equipment of the Soviet soldiers in the camp is equally terrible, with automatic firepower, more than a dozen additional enhanced RPK and PK machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and GP25 mounted on rifles. Grenade launchers are readily available, and there are minefields outside the camp. Those anti-infantry mines are densely packed everywhere.
A frontal attack by the guerrillas has no chance of winning, even if there are dozens of times more people. The Soviets even prepared for a large-scale blockade. They built a helicopter landing platform on the ridge. Once there is a large-scale If the guerrillas besiege them, they can supply supplies and transport personnel by helicopter.
But with such firepower, Su
The coalition is also unwilling to take the initiative to encircle and suppress the Afghan guerrillas, because doing so will only increase troubles. The guerrillas will avoid them and set mines on the roads. Sometimes they cannot catch the guerrillas when they go out. Being disgraced by various traps.
As a result, over time, these Soviet soldiers became useless. As long as there were no requirements from above, they would not take the initiative. Being able to maintain daily combat readiness patrols once every three days was the maximum bottom line!
If it were in the past, then the donkey cart uncle would never even think about this place, but now, they have weapons that can fire from a distance, and the traps and firepower arranged by the Soviets cannot hit them at all!
After arriving at the camp, the guerrillas did not rush to open fire. Instead, they quietly climbed up the mountain for a day. They did not start taking action until the sky darkened.
This is also a consideration. If they fire in the evening, they will have all night to run away. But if it is during the day, the Soviets can call helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft to search for the guerrillas. If they fire in the evening, they may not cause any damage. But better than safety!
Seeing the sun go down, the fellow villagers immediately took out various tools and started digging the soil. Under Ali's instructions, they dug out rows of rail-like platforms with one side high and one side low, then tamped the soil, and finally placed the rockets. on top.
Afterwards, Ali used the simple ruler on the rocket to determine the launch direction and distance one by one. Only he could do this job, so Ali did not slack off and meticulously inspected each rocket to confirm that these rockets Don't give up until you can get on top of the Soviets.
Before digging the platform, the Afghans also dug a trench dozens of meters behind the rocket. After everyone was done, they lay down in it and watched Ali connect the power wires of the rocket one by one. Finally, Ali He took out a military dry battery wrapped in several layers of cloth from his pocket.
This thing is the most important. Without it, everyone can only light torches!
With everyone waiting eagerly, Ali picked up two wires and connected the wires to the two sections of the battery according to the instructor's instructions.
Then, everyone only heard a short whooshing sound, and then, a bright point of fire rose into the sky, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and landed on the Soviet position. .
"Allahhu Akbar!"
The fellow villagers cheered in low voices, and then continued to look at Ali with burning eyes.
"Come again, come again!"
