Chapter 161 Afghanistan (1)

There are high bare mountain peaks on both sides, and only on the middle is a road that only trucks can walk on, with flags of Soviet sickles and axes flying in front of the car.

This huge logistics vehicle is carrying out the task of transporting logistics supply.[]

Now, the Soviet Union has deployed an army of about 100,000 people in Afghanistan, and it is not easy to support the battle of 100,000 people.

Most Afghanistan is located on the Pamir Plateau with rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation. There is no railway in the country, and most of the highways pass through mountains, which is extremely steep.

Although there have always been transporting transport aircraft to transport supplies, only a very small volume is mostly transported by road.

The most troublesome thing about using road transportation is those Afghan guerrillas who have always been like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

Especially in this kind of mountainous land, the other party is condescending and is very easy to attack supply vehicles, which is a very headache.

The Soviet army also came up with solutions. In addition to patrolling armed helicopters in the sky, they also installed double-mounted 23mm 3y-23 anti-aircraft guns on the ground. This is a retired old weapon taken out of the warehouse, but the gun has a large elevation angle and the maximum range when firing in an oblique target on mountain targets is 2,500 meters, which can be used to suppress the large-caliber machine guns of guerrillas on the mountain.

Here, tanks are useless. The elevation angle is too small to shoot the enemies on the top of the mountain, and the cycling chariot is not easy to use. Only such trucks equipped with anti-aircraft guns are the most suitable weapons.

Higher altitudes limit the movement of trucks, which are half-loaded, otherwise there will be insufficient power, and so will the personnel.

The armed helicopters in the sky have been hovering, monitoring suspicious situations on the ground. This improved Mi-24 armed helicopter has been equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun behind it, specifically used to deal with Afghan guerrillas.

On a truck in front, the commander of the supply team, Colonel Voramir Makarov, was patrolling the surroundings with vigilance.

Voramir was a very confident person in the Soviet army. He also had the spirit of a great power that had existed since the Tsarist era.

Peter the Great, the most famous in Russian history, once said that Russia needs to advance south to Constantinople and India, and whoever ruled there would rule the world. He believed that when Russia could freely enter the Indian Ocean, it could establish its own military and political rule throughout the world. Peter the Great envisioned three routes for Russia to go south: one from the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey to the Mediterranean; the second from the Southern Caucasus through Iran to the Persian Gulf; the third from Central Asia through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea.

Although the Soviet Union became a socialist country, they still had the ts and tsars left behind, and they were always thinking about going south.

Especially in the 1970s, the Soviet Union attacked the US defense in the battle for hegemony. The Soviet Union began to attempt to use Afghanistan as the base for southward travel, and then open up land passages to go straight to the Indian Ocean, threaten the oil-producing areas in the Middle East and encircle Europe, and echo the Pacific strategy, and ultimately achieve its goal of world dominance.

Voramir agreed with this. Now, he has finally entered Afghanistan and started another expansion of the Soviet Empire.

At this time, in a hidden corner of the mountain, Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin ** was watching the convoy slowly coming from a distance with a telescope seized from the Soviet army.

Behind him are more than a dozen brothers, members of his Islamic Jihad.

Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin ** has a rich and legendary life. On March 10, 1957, he was born in a wealthy businessman in the construction industry in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The family ranked 17. In 1974, he married Naiwa Ghanim. In 1976, his eldest son Abdullah was born. From 1976 to 1979, he studied at King Abdullah Aziz University. However, after the Soviet Union blatantly invaded Afghanistan in 1979, young people in their twenties finally became passionate. He brought a group of young people with the same faith as him to Afghanistan and began the process of resisting the invasion of the Soviet Red Army.

In later generations, he was angry at the opening of Saudi Arabia's base and welcomed the arrival of the US military, believing that this violated Islamic teachings and began a fight against the West.

Of course, Osama now has only one mind to help the Islamic brothers and fight away the Soviet invaders!

"Safe ahead." The helicopters in the air searched twice, but did not find Osama and others hiding in the mountains. They began to search forward, and the convoy continued to move forward.

The opportunity is here!

Osama picked up the mine detonation device in his hand and pressed it down hard.

For no reason, suddenly, violent explosions sounded everywhere, and suddenly, several trucks in front had been blown to the sky.

Afghan guerrillas! Voramir was shocked and immediately ordered the two squads of soldiers behind to alternate cover and search for the surrounding mountains and forests.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft cannons on the truck also patrolled the surroundings vigilantly, and would use the 23mm anti-aircraft shells to blow the enemy into pieces at any time.

"Kill their operators, be careful, shoot one shot and change another place, and retreat immediately after three shots." Osama said.

The distance is almost five hundred meters now. Can they use the American M-16 rifle in their hands to kill each other?

Osama knew that their role now is to keep slowing down the other party's actions and make the other party's supplies not smoothly, rather than fighting against the enemy.

The Soviet army had more than 100,000 people and was well-equipped. If they fought hard, they would definitely not be able to fight.

Osama's favorite thing is to engage in this kind of attack and harassment. Only by saving yourself first can the enemy be eliminated.

However, his men did not think so, especially those who liberated the Islamic Union organizations to assist him.

There are more than 3,000 tribes in Afghanistan. For a long time, these tribes have been disunited and the central government has difficulty in controlling tribal leaders. Afghanistan is actually very difficult to manage. After the Soviet invasion, although the various Muslim organizations and tribal armed forces have different political colors, they have gradually united in order to fight against their common enemies. After March 1980, the armed forces of three Muslim organizations established the "Islamic Alliance for Liberating Afghanistan".

After Osama arrived in Afghanistan, he contacted the alliance. Now, it was their first battle, ambushing the Soviet army's logistics supply vehicles.
