Chapter 103 (1/2)
In the dark tunnel, a convoy of more than ten trucks is driving slowly. Xie liaosha is sitting in the front car now, and it is Yakov who drives for him. There is no end to the long tunnel. Due to disrepair and no maintenance, there are not only no lighting facilities in the tunnel, but also potholes on the road.
”Why don't they attack us in the tunnel?” Yakov asked, puzzled.
”Because the tunnel is too narrow to open, and once the tunnel is destroyed, we can still rely on air transport, but the guerrillas may be hungry. In short, the guerrillas will control our transport vehicles, not only let some of them go so that we can continue to take chances, but also attack some of them that have already consumed our power and their own demand for supplies. We and pagman's guerrillas are in a delicate balance. ” Xie liaosha explained his understanding to Yakov as much as possible, but the latter part was not what he asked.
”Oh Yakov was confused, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He changed the question and asked, ”are you sure they're going to attack us here? In the same place? ”
”I don't know, but lebede is sure that he said that the other side of the tunnel is the territory of the Tajik tribe, and the armed men of pagman dare not cross the border. If you cross the Kabul River further, it's too close to the urban area. Armed helicopters will come soon, so there is not enough time to clean up the battlefield. So this is the best place! ” Xieliaosha told Yakov what lebede said.
Two people you a word I a language chat, this can ease the tense atmosphere. Xie liaosha told the whole platoon about his plan before he set out. So everyone was scared at that time. Fortunately, Yakov prepared in advance. He strengthened the protective steel plate on the truck. However, this is of little significance. According to the officers and men of the Soviet transport team who survived the attack, the armed men who attacked the transport team generally do not carry heavy weapons, because they still count on the Soviet supplies for their own supplies. The rash use of heavy weapons may cause a lot of material losses. Armed personnel usually use mines to attack the vehicles at the front and the back of the convoy, so that the cars in the middle cannot escape. After that, concentrated firepower is used to effectively shoot and kill the convoy guards, and finally clean the battlefield with the fastest speed, taking what can be taken away and damaging what cannot be taken away. Everything has routines and rules to find, obviously pagman's armed is trained. Unfortunately, what the guerrillas don't need most is routines and rules, but surprise and unusual ways.
Light gradually appeared in front of the car, and many soldiers hiding in the truck jumped out of the car, hiding in the tunnel and waiting at any time. Yakov gripped the steering wheel, and his palms began to sweat slightly. Xie liaosha looked ahead and his heart began to accelerate slightly. This time, the task is too dangerous. It's just to be exposed to the enemy's gunpoint as a target. But if we don't get rid of this group of guerrillas in pagman, the 103 airborne division and the Soviet garrison in Kabul will never be able to survive. In addition, he has another important task in close contact with the enemy, which is to ensure that hafizola Qasim Wardak, the No.1 leader of pagman's armed forces, can be killed or captured on the spot. Grachov only gave him a picture of hafizola accompanying former Afghan President Amin on his tour, with only one side face, Xie liaosha is not sure if he can find hafizola's trace in time.
The motorcade began to accelerate at the end of the tunnel, and the armed elements could not see the flaw. Xie liaosha used the car radio to direct and coordinate the distance between the motorcade's vehicles. At the same time, hafizola, hidden on the hillside, is also observing the motorcade with binoculars. The intelligence of the Americans and the informant confirms each other, completely dispelling hafizola's last doubt. How could hafizola miss this opportunity to avenge his brother himself? How long did he wait until the five guys left the heavily guarded city of Kabul.
The last car of the motorcade finally drove away from the cave. Yakov deliberately put the car full of speed. The car may encounter mines at any time. Yakov was nervous to the extreme at this time. But two minutes later, there was no attack. Yakov helplessly looked at Xie liaosha, and then said anxiously, ”do you really want to go down and show your face?”
Xie liaosha nodded and said, ”if you go down, no one will drive.”
”Now?” Yakov waited for shariosha to make up his mind.
