An explosion in Paktia Province startled not only the Soviets but also the Anas guerrillas in Kandahar.
Everyone is trying to attract foreign aid. What do the British here give them, old Stirling submachine guns, and special explosive devices used by the Royal Engineers for decades? Even if they give financial aid, the British are very stingy. Afghani given.
Anas has always regarded himself as Osama's elder. Although the relationship between the two parties is very close, in the past, Osama was just an independent individual. He was only responsible for supporting and providing financial assistance. But now, he has organized his own The team, in a sense, has become Anas's competitor.
In particular, Osama still has an economic advantage. He can rely on his economic advantage to recruit more followers. But by then, Anas, an old senior, will become a little follower in front of him!
Therefore, in order not to fall out of the limelight, but also in response to Osama's attack, Anas decided to repeat a similar attack in Kandahar. If it could kill the Soviets, the effect would be even better!
Anas's idea was also supported by the British. Just like the competition in Afghanistan, there was also competition between Britain and the United States. After all, Pakistan and India were within the British sphere of influence in the past, but now, Pakistan is pro-American and India is pro-Soviet. It has nothing to do with the UK, and the gentlemen in London must also think of a solution!
Both sides were eager to search for the target, which immediately gave the undercover of the werewolf brigade an opportunity to take advantage of themselves.
He contacted the headquarters of the Werewolf Brigade under the pretext of going to the city to collect information and reported the specific situation. Then, Zakayev immediately had a good way to defeat Anas's main force.
The undercover agent then returned to the guerrilla hideout and handed over a transportation plan, which stated that the defenders of the Kandahar Air Base were to transfer approximately 200,000 rounds of ammunition for various weapons and approximately three dozen weapons to a mountainous base 170 kilometers away. The plan for ten bases of various types of artillery shells is expected to dispatch a company of escorts, two Mi-24 helicopters, plus an unknown number of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. The main models are BTR60 and BP2.
They will pass through 40 kilometers of highways, plus 130 kilometers of mountain roads. It can be said that it is a good target, but the main problem is that the escort force is too strong, especially the BP2 infantry fighting vehicles in the convoy. This is caused by The cutting-edge infantry fighting vehicle improved from the BP1 type is equipped with a 30mm rapid-fire 2a42 artillery for both high and flat purposes, which can fire a variety of artillery shells. In addition to the rapid-fire gun, it also has a spandrel anti-tank located above the turret. missile.
Rapid-fire artillery and missiles are very suitable for attacking various targets, whether they are infantry or tanks. Moreover, the 2a42 artillery has a large elevation angle, and it is easy for the machine gun to straf the guerrillas on the hills.
Faced with such a goal, the guerrillas were still a little frightened, but the temptation was too great!
Anas finally couldn't hold back and decided to launch a sneak attack on the transport convoy.
The guerrillas possess Stinger missiles, 40mm rocket launchers, and old Boyce anti-tank guns given by the British. They are not without the power to fight against the convoy's escort force, not to mention that they still have about two Hundreds of 107mm rockets, as long as these ammunition cover the entire convoy, even if the enemy is Captain America, they will not be able to withstand it!
After deciding to take action, the guerrillas immediately began to prepare for an ambush. The vast mountain roads were full of ambush sites suitable for them, so the guerrillas did not have to worry about being spotted by the transport convoy.
From the beginning, the development of the situation was indeed as smooth as the Anas guerrillas expected.
The Mi-24 helicopter responsible for escorting in the sky was easily driven away from the battlefield by the Stinger missiles. Those pilots were very afraid of the Stinger missiles. They would not enter easily without a good opportunity to enter the battlefield!
Not to mention ground combat!
The guerrillas first used explosives and landmines to paralyze the BTR armored transport vehicle at the front of the team. The soldiers on the vehicle jumped out of the troop transport cabin in embarrassment, and then relied on the bunker to open fire on the mountain.
However, due to the problem of shooting range, the Soviet soldiers' light firepower did not have much suppressive power. As for the BP tanks escorting the convoy, the convoy was ambushed.
The location of the attack was a U-shaped bay. The BP tanks were at the end of the convoy and could not suppress the enemies on the other side. Therefore, the guerrillas could confidently fire from high altitudes downwards with various weapons.
They set up 60mm mortars on the hills and prepared cluster grenades. The armored vehicles and trucks in front of the Soviet convoy soon turned into burning scrap metal, and the Soviet soldiers also had many wounded.
But they were regular troops after all. The Soviet soldiers who were ambushed tried their best to suppress the firepower on the mountain, and then carried the wounded out of the firefight area. Those officers and non-commissioned officers took the lead. Some Soviet tough men even wore a sea soul shirt. , then wrapped the bullet chain of the PK machine gun around his body, and fired in all directions like a Rambo.
After nearly an hour of fierce attack, Anas immediately lost his composure and ordered the rocket launcher to fire when he saw that his side had not been able to break through the Soviets' tenacious resistance.
Then dozens of rockets exploded crookedly on the mountains and roads. The explosion instantly overwhelmed the Soviets' stubborn resistance and even knocked down several Soviet soldiers. Even the officer commanding the battle fell down.
Seeing that these Soviet soldiers were about to die here, suddenly, two BP tanks at the end of the convoy forcibly knocked away the trucks and appeared behind the Soviet soldiers.
Then the dense 30mm killing explosions suppressed the guerrillas who could not raise their heads. Several guerrillas who did not believe in evil tried to collide with the opponent with rockets and anti-tank guns, and were immediately blown to pieces.
The guerrillas, who were stunned by the artillery fire, were about to charge, but now they could only hold back. It was not until the Soviet soldiers jumped on the car and retreated under the cover of artillery fire that the guerrillas finally raised their heads.
Looking at the trucks abandoned by the Soviets, Anas was overjoyed. Without his words, the guerrillas screamed and rushed down from the mountain, ready to receive the fruits of victory.
The undercover agent of the Werewolf Brigade did not move, but instead looked at the time.
"five four three two one!"
After the countdown ended, the roar of jet engines suddenly sounded in the valley. Before the guerrillas could react, the rocket launcher position at the rear was blasted into the sky by a low-altitude Su-25 attack aircraft.
Densely packed S8KO rockets covered every inch of land. Wherever the explosion passed, there were no traces of life left, only scorch marks and death!
