Chapter 359 Counterattack
"Ah." With the sound, the sniper screamed, and he was already hit by the bullets shot from the opposite side!
"Shoot, shoot!" The people in the armored vehicle finally couldn't help it. When they saw someone on the small building opposite, the 14.5mm machine gun on the turret immediately opened fire. The machine gun bullet of this caliber hit the wall and was effortlessly a big hole.
Under the cover of machine guns, the soldiers of the mechanic squad ran towards the opposite side. When they ran to the small building, they only saw a corpse, which had been beaten in half, wearing their own military uniforms. The young face was full of reluctance to leave the world. This was a captured soldier on his side!
"Kill!" Soviet soldiers pulled the trigger on the sky. Only in this way can they vent their anger. They knew that the cunning sniper on the other side immediately retreated after firing the second shot, leaving behind this captive on his own side and letting his side attack by mistake was simply hateful!
They simply did not abide by the Geneva Convention, these damn Afghan rebels! As long as they are caught, they must make their lives worse than death!
In fact, the Afghan guerrillas have never abide by the Geneva Convention. Skinning is their favorite, and Soviet soldiers have also had cruel methods after capturing Afghan prisoners of war.
Under a wall of earth, six or seven Soviet soldiers surrounded an Afghan Free Army soldier. When the soldier retreated, he had just jumped into the encirclement of people here, but now he has no way out.
Grab a prisoner from the other party, pry open the secret from their mouths, and see where the other party hides their own people, especially the division commander! These Soviet soldiers were ready to catch the prisoners. They just kept surrounding them, and no one shot.
The prisoner obediently threw away his gun and spread his hands, as if he was very cooperative. So, these Soviet soldiers walked closer and when they were almost able to get to the prisoner, they saw a unique smile on the face of the prisoner. Suddenly, the Soviet soldiers felt something was wrong and fell into a trap!
Before he could react, a grenade appeared in the prisoner's hand in a magical way. He unceremoniously pulled out the insurance.
"Boom!" Along with the Afghan Free Army soldier, six or seven Soviet soldiers, they were all destroyed in the explosion. The broken arms and broken limbs were scattered at the scene, which was a terrible sight.
I would rather die than be captured, and I would rather take some people to take the cushion before I die!
Street fighting is cruel. People seem to have no idea what pain is or what death is. They only know how to fight, and use blood and fire to avenge their brothers!
Perhaps during the day, the Soviets would occupy a block with their advantages of armor and personnel, and at night, the suicide squad would emerge and retake it back, both sides were full of murderous intent and kept leaving countless corpses.
When the current line was already glued together, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to use its original artillery tactics. The vanguard troops had even entered the east side of the city. After half of the city, there were people from their own side everywhere and enemies everywhere. At this time, bombardment would only allow the people from their own side to suffer losses.
The whole world is watching here, and countless observers believe that although the advantages of the Soviet mechanized army cannot be developed in the mountains, the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in cities.
They believed that even if there was no artillery attack, the Soviet Union would completely occupy Jalalabad in three or five days and eliminate all the soldiers of the Afghan Free Army. However, one day, one day after another, five days, ten days, half a month, one month, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and the troops were invested more and more. The battle in the city was going on, and it seemed that it would be completely taken down tomorrow. However, when another day ended, the front line was still in its original position and even retreated.
The Soviets felt the crisis more and more. The cold winter in Afghanistan is coming. The severe cold will make people difficult and the transportation of materials is even more difficult. If the battle cannot be ended before the winter begins, then our side may need to evacuate from here.
The evacuation indicates a complete failure of one's own side. The failure in the air can be attributed to the Pakistani Air Force's support from the entire Western world. It can even be said that American pilots wear Pakistani Air Force uniforms to participate in the battle. What about the ground? It is indeed all bearded Afghans. If they can't even win the ground battle, the Soviet Union will really become a toothless tiger.
Before winter begins, end the ground battle! This order was issued by Marshal Akhromeyev and passed to the commander of the front line, Petrovsky. Petrovsky knew that if he could not end the battle simply, his position as the commander would probably end.
He passed the orders step by step, put pressure on the people below, and had to end the battle quickly! If necessary, he could even ignore the life and death of the captives!
The Soviet Union did not have the spirit of Americans. In the fight, Americans would not give up their brothers easily. Even if they sacrificed more people, they would rescue their own people. This was a kind of cowboy spirit. The Soviets paid more attention to costs. When they found that they were being captured because they were concerned about their own captured people, they would suffer greater losses. Therefore, they would no longer consider their own captives. When necessary, they had to make choices and sacrifice!
Fighting is even more cruel.
East of Jalalabad, in a basement.
"The Soviets have been attacking fiercely recently," said Osama: "Our people have lost a lot, and many places have been destroyed. If we continue, we may not be able to hold on until the winter comes."
"Yes, the Soviets fought fiercely, and they knew that once winter came, they would be unable to attack us anymore." Hwaja said: "We must persist!"
"I have a new tactic," said Osama. "The Soviet artillery positions brought more and more ammunition, and they were piled up into mountains. As long as we light the fire, the people there will be killed."
Their artillery positions are next to their base camp. As long as the arms on the artillery positions are lit, the nearby military headquarters, various logistics supplies and reserves will be killed, and the Soviets will be greatly injured, and it is possible to retreat.
"But we can't get close." Ramal said: "The Soviets defended very closely. Within eight kilometers of surroundings, there were empty ruins, and we absolutely couldn't get close to them. Moreover, the Soviets implemented strict confirmation policies. If we wanted to pretend to be Soviets, we might be intercepted if we were eight kilometers away."
Last time Osama pretended to be a Soviet and broke into the division headquarters, the Soviets would not make the same mistake again. If you want to get close, you must have a command. Moreover, if the troops’ numbers are incorrect, they are not allowed to get close.
"Yes, we just killed them eight kilometers away!" Osama said: "Although they defended very hard there, in the city, we had a fierce battle. Several BTR infantry fighting vehicles were driving, and they would not attract any attention, right?"
"That's of course, we have regained the position several times in this way."
"Let's modify the btr infantry fighting vehicle," Osama said, "install our 107 rocket launcher."
These days, Osama has been thinking about countermeasures, from which it can pose the greatest threat to the Soviet artillery positions? It is naturally its own rocket launcher!
When Jalalabad was just captured, a lot of equipment came from Peshawar, including the powerful 107mm rocket launcher and the twelve traction artillery that were combined together could also be disassembled and used separately.
Just transform the btr and stuff the rocket launcher in, and you can bring this weapon to the outside of the opponent's cordon, and then, in a volley, dozens of rockets flew over. Even if one fell into their ammunition pile, it would cause a terrible explosion!
The Soviets did not expect that those shells would eventually become weapons to completely bury them!
"Okay, let's do it!" Hwaja said: "This time, it's time for our First Army to show off our skills?"
"Fuck, the Soviet shells are my own." Osama said indecently: "Don't fight with me. I have been thinking about this plan in my mind for half a month, just waiting for the more Soviet shells, the better. Moreover, now that the battle has been going on to the east city, the Soviets' defense will definitely be reduced. Tonight, just wait to see the fireworks."
Osama said, leaving the basement with a smile. It has been more than a month since his guards have suffered more than half of their casualties. What supports everyone to continue fighting is the desire for victory. As the area of the guards becomes smaller and smaller, the morale of one side has also begun to decline. What is more important this time is to boost morale!
In fact, there is nothing to modify. Cut off the steel plate at the back and stuff the rocket launcher inside. That is the most suitable one. However, Osama has no such things at hand, so he can only simply fix the rocket launcher behind the turret, with large open space there, and then fill it with branches and a white cloth on it.
This white cloth is the most exquisitely covered.
In the middle of the night, five BTR infantry fighting vehicles were ready and rumbled out.
When the armored vehicles drove out, the Soviet soldiers along the way saw it, said nothing, and all lowered their heads silently, and some even saluted the armored vehicles.
