Because of the Soviet attack, the integration of the guerrillas was considered smooth. When most of the guerrillas heard about the allowances and pensions, they paid their respects without saying a word.
Some even tied up their boss in the middle of the night and came over with weapons to defect to them. Their boss and weapons were treated as a greeting gift.
Soon, Osama recruited a team of hundreds of young men, and there were even more old and young people following them. With the help of mercenaries, a large number of elderly people stayed in ** In ** territory, Osama has set up a logistics center here, where the old people will be responsible for the subcontracting of logistics supplies. In addition, they also have a very important task.
That’s loading the magazine!
Reality is not a game. After firing the bullets, just throw away the magazine and replace it with a new one. Even an elite team like the SEALs, if it is not an emergency, they have to put the empty magazine back into the hanger. After all, there are plenty of bullets, but not magazines.
The PCs of Shadow Company each have an average of ten magazines in their hands. More bullets are packed in bulk in bags, while the guerrillas have even fewer. This is why they also made an extra batch. 56 semi-automatic rifle.
Because the number of magazines for 56 punch or AK rifles is rare, a person is already very wealthy if he has three. Most people only have one magazine in their hands, but the 56 semi-automatic rifle does not have this problem. Although there is a detachable magazine, Most people still use ten-round bridge clips for loading.
And if rifles are so troublesome, those belt machine guns are even more troublesome. The Afghans do not have any advanced belt machine guns that can scatter bullets, and there are no loaders, so they all rely on manpower.
It’s no excuse to fight on the front line for a day and pretend to be a logistics supporter for a year!
But these weapons can only be used to resist the Soviets. Facing those raging planes and helicopters, relying on mere automatic rifles is of no use!
The Soviet army invested a large number of various helicopters in Afghanistan, and the one that made the guerrillas fear and tremble the most was the Hind, or Doe helicopter with a peaceful-sounding nickname.
This is the first professional armed helicopter equipped by the Soviet Union. It was developed by the Soviet Miri Design Bureau. With more than 2,000 in service, it can be regarded as another model aircraft in the helicopter industry!
Because of the Soviet Union's offensive thinking at the time, this helicopter was conceived as a flying infantry fighting vehicle from the beginning, used to quickly transport assault units and provide powerful close fire support for the infantry who left the aircraft. The infantry would use the flying carrier to It has higher battlefield mobility.
For this reason, the Soviets put a lot of effort into this aircraft. After several years of development, they came up with this excellent model that not only provides a large number of ground strike capabilities, but also can carry infantry.
As an attack helicopter, it can carry rocket pods, high-explosive bombs, various types of anti-tank missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles for anti-aircraft purposes. In addition, it can also have a GSH-23-1 installed on its nose. Cannon or GSH-30-2 cannon.
In addition to mounting these weapons, it can also stuff 8 large and thick infantrymen and their equipment into the troop transport compartment in the middle of the aircraft.
Coupled with the range of a thousand kilometers, it can be said that the Hind is a standard flying infantry fighting vehicle.
Because of Afghanistan's complex terrain, the Soviets' personnel rotation and material supplies almost entirely relied on large transport aircraft to be delivered from the country to the major Soviet bases in Afghanistan.
Trucks are then used to transport them to scattered small bases, and in this process, the Hind helicopter serves as the escort for those transport vehicles.
But this is just a usage of the Soviets. The Soviet airborne troops and special forces like to use Hind helicopters to clear out the rebels. They will form a multi-plane formation, then fly in at low altitude, suddenly appear above the guerrillas, and let the helicopters go first. The driver attacks the target with cannon rockets, and then the weapons operator drops the mounted incendiary bombs or high-explosive bombs. When the resistance is weak, the helicopter lands or hovers, and puts down the infantry in the troop carrier to clean up the mess.
With this move, the Soviets beat the Afghans hard.
The Afghan guerrillas really don’t have any good means of resistance.
The number of anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns is limited. The most important thing is that even the lightest anti-aircraft machine gun weighs hundreds of kilograms and is not easy to transfer at all.
Therefore, the guerrillas often have headaches for these things!
However, as the situation became increasingly dire, the CIA did not want the Afghan guerrillas to be completely suppressed by the Soviets. Therefore, with the approval of the Intelligence Committee, the CIA finally sent the Afghans twelve Stinger individual anti-aircraft missiles and two A launch tube.
This thing will even be regarded as a scarce material in later generations. After all, the field air defense capabilities of the United States are really unreliable. Now, it can be regarded as a hidden technology at the bottom of the box. The Stinger missile was developed in the 1970s, and it was not developed until 1982. The U.S. military only started serving in 2001, and the U.S. military itself did not have enough. Osama and some of his close friends spent a lot of effort to lobby successfully, and the animal friends in the United States were relieved.
However, although the missiles were delivered, the CIA did not generously hand them over to the guerrillas for use. Instead, it required Shepard to send people deep into Afghanistan to operate these weapons, and even if they were used, there were many restrictions, such as To ensure that the missile hits the target or self-destructs, the device must be recovered after launch. If Soviet infantry is present, Stinger missiles are not allowed to be used.
These conditions are all to ensure that the information about the Stinger is not leaked, and even Morgan asked the PCs sent by Shepard to take the responsibility of destroying the Stinger missiles as soon as possible after encountering an irreversible situation.
This work is very necessary, and it must be carried out by trustworthy people. Ordinary mercenaries are obviously incompetent, and they don't even know how to operate missiles.
There were not many people in Shadow Company who knew how to operate Stinger missiles, and even fewer who were trustworthy and reliable. However, after all, it was such a big company, and Shepard finally selected two anti-aircraft teams and two The escort team comes out.
And they are all from the Shadow Team, and their commander is John Rambo, a sea, land and air amphibious special forces soldier. This is also one of the most powerful generals that Shepard can fight at the moment, even better than Cameron who serves as Shepard's exclusive bodyguard. They also need to be proficient in the operation of various weapons and vehicles, and also have the highest salary. Fortunately, they are not working for Shepard. Mr. Osama, who is not short of money at all, is very generous and willing to help with these. American friends pay extra salary.
He even paid to give everyone a GM pickup truck. After all, these are the guardians of the guerrillas!
