In the dark tunnel, a convoy of more than a dozen trucks was slowly moving.
Seryosha was now sitting in the car at the front, and it was Yakov who drove for him.
There is no end in sight to the long tunnel, due to disrepair and no one to maintain, not only does the tunnel have no lighting facilities, but even the road surface is full of potholes.
"Why didn't they attack us in the tunnel," Yakov asked, puzzled.
"Because the tunnel is too narrow to operate, and if the tunnel is blown up, we can still rely on airlift, but the guerrillas may go hungry.
To put it simply, the guerrillas control our transport vehicles, both sparing some of them so that we can continue to leave us lucky, and attacking some of the forces that have consumed us and their own need for supplies, we and Pugman's guerrillas are in a delicate balance.
Seryosha explained his understanding to Yakov as much as he could, but unfortunately the second half of the answer was not 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?"
"I don't know, but Lebed is sure that on the other side of the tunnel is the territory of the Tajik tribes, and that Pagman's armed men dare not cross it.
Further across, the Kabul River is too close to the city, and helicopter gunships will soon fly over, and there is simply not enough time to clean up the battlefield.
So this is the most appropriate," Seryosha told Yakov what Lebed said.
The two of them chatted word by word, which could ease the tense atmosphere.
Seryosha told the whole platoon of the plan only before departure.
Therefore, everyone was also frightened at that time, but fortunately Yakov had prepared in advance, and he reinforced the protective steel plates on the truck.
According to the officers and men of the Soviet convoy who escaped the attack, the armed personnel of the convoy generally do not carry heavy weapons, because they still count on the supplies of the Soviet army to supply themselves, and the rash use of heavy weapons may cause a large loss of materials.
Armed men usually use mines to attack the front and rear vehicles of the convoy, so that the cars in the middle cannot escape.
After that, it is to concentrate firepower to effectively shoot and kill the escorts of the convoy, and finally clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, take away what can be taken away, and destroy on the spot what cannot be taken away.
Everything has routines and rules to be found, and it is clear that Pugman's armament is trained.
It's a pity that the last thing the guerrillas need is routines and rules, but they need to be unexpected and unconventional.
The light gradually appeared in front of the car, and many soldiers hiding in the truck jumped out of the car and hid in the tunnel to be ready for help.
Yakov was gripping the steering wheel, and his palms were already sweating slightly.
Seryosha looked ahead, and his heartbeat began to speed up slightly.
This mission is too dangerous, it is completely exposed to the enemy's guns as a target, but if we do not get rid of this group of guerrillas entrenched in Pagman, the 103rd Airborne Division and the Soviet troops stationed in Kabul will never be at peace.
In addition, Seryosha, who was in close contact with the enemy, had another important task, that is, to ensure that the operation could kill or capture alive the No. 1 leader of the Pagman forces, Hafizollah Kassim Vardak, Grachev only gave Seryosha a photo of Hafizollah accompanying former Afghan President Amin on his tour, only a side face, Seryosha was not sure if he would be able to find Hafizola's traces in time.
The convoy began to accelerate at the end of the tunnel, so that the militants could not see the flaws, and Seryosha used the on-board radio to direct and coordinate the distance between the vehicles of the convoy.
At the same time, Hafizzola, who was hidden on the hillside, was also observing the convoy with binoculars, and the intelligence of the Americans and the informant corroborated each other, completely dispelling Hafizzola's last doubts, how could Hafizzola miss this opportunity to avenge his brother with his own hands, how long did he wait for the five guys to leave the heavily guarded city of Kabul.
The last car of the convoy finally drove out of the cave, and Yakov was already extremely nervous at this time, when Yakov deliberately drove at full speed, the car could be hit by a mine at any time.
But two minutes passed, and there was still no attack.
Yakov looked at Seryosha helplessly, and then said worriedly: "Do you really want to go down and show your face?"
Seryosha nodded, and then said, "If you go down, no one will drive." ” "Now," Yakov waited for Seryosha to come up with an idea.
"Let's act," Seryosha finally gave the order.
Yakov pressed a button on the door, a small device, installed right under the hood of the car, modified from a smoke grenade.
Under Yakov's manipulation, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the front of the car, as if the car had broken down.
Yakov slowly slowed down until he stopped, he took the gun in his hand and nodded to Seryosha to indicate that he was ready.
Seryosha opened the car door and got out of the car, he controlled himself not to look at the mountains on both sides of the road, he also secretly prayed in his heart not to be shot by the partisans, Seryosha opened the engine cover, pretended to check it, there was still no movement, he had to close the engine cover and walked back, one step, two steps, Seryosha's hand had already grabbed the handle of the car door, at this moment the gun rang out, Seryosha felt a sharp pain in his chest, he was suddenly hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.
Seryosha fell to the ground and quickly hid in a ditch on the side of the road, fortunately wearing body armor.
Seeing Seryosha falling, Hafizzola immediately gave the order to attack, and for a while there was a lot of gunfire, and Yakov quickly jumped into the ditch on the side of the road, and everyone was ready to abandon the car and flee to a place where they could hide.
The enemy has been tricked, the Soviet troops in ambush in the tunnel have blocked the road, another group of Soviet troops in motorboats along the Kabul River quickly blocked the bridge, helicopter gunships are coming, and the rest of the time Seryosha and his men have to rely on courage and luck to hold on.
Seryosha and his men were scattered in the ditches on both sides of the road, Seryosha was now most afraid of enemy grenades, and he shouted loudly for everyone to keep them apart as much as possible, and from time to time his eyes swept to the peaks behind him and on the opposite side.
Where is it Over there Where are the Hafizola Seryosha was looking around, watching bullets flying in from all directions.
Anxiously looking for Hafizzola's figure.
At the same time, Hafizzola has not yet realized that this is a trap, the enemy is hiding underneath, and a bullet is simply too cheap for them.
Hafizzola wants to seize them and break them to pieces.
Hafizzola was no longer calm at this point, and he ordered everyone to rush down the ground at once. t1706231537:
