I have to say that the efficiency of the US military is quite high. Half an hour later, a helicopter carrying a group of Longyun, Gege and Delta special forces took off and headed northwest for Bagram airfield on the outskirts of Kabul.

As early as the 80s of the last century, during the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan, Bagram Air Force Airport was a major base for Soviet aviation to station aircraft, with a runway of about 3,000 meters long, which can be used for large transport aircraft and bombers to take off and land, playing an important role in the former Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan, being a transit point for many ground troops and materials, and also providing air fire support for the military operations of the former Soviet Union.

Now that the US military has invaded Afghanistan, this air base is an important strategic base and a fortress that must be captured. As long as the Bagram airfield is captured, a forward base can be established, and war materials will continue to arrive here directly from the US air bases in Pakistan and even Europe, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics support.

Peshawar Air Base is near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and the helicopter flew over the Khyber Pass and entered the airspace of Afghanistan, but this weak country that has been ravaged by war for many years has long had no air supremacy at all, so the pilots of the 160 Air Regiment were very relieved, and swaggered to choose the nearest path to cross the border and fly directly to Bagram Air Base near Kabul.

Sitting on the helicopter, Long Yun stretched out his neck and looked at the ground, and soon entered the volley of Afghanistan, which was different from the Pakistani side, where the lights were blind and blind, and occasionally some fires could be seen below, which were left behind after the bombing, and even sporadic firefights could be seen in some areas.

Long Yun didn't have much feeling in his heart about this war, he had seen too many dirty things in his mercenary career over the years. In many cases, there are always only interests behind wars, and the banners under which they are carried are indeed varied and varied, but one thing is always the same - it is always the innocent and weak people who suffer.

Soon, the plane entered the vicinity of Jalalabad, and at this time, the pilot began to get nervous.

In the aftermath of the war, Jalalabad was the site of heavy fighting, a key city in the northeast, where Taliban resistance was particularly fierce. The Northern Alliance forces and the 101st Airborne Division, which had infiltrated the area, converged and took it in a short time, but intelligence indicates that the Taliban have dispersed out of the city and are waging guerrilla warfare on the outskirts.

Long Yun knew that Afghanistan was actually a quagmire, it was a country that was difficult to be governed by foreign invaders, since 329 BC, Alexander the Great began to wave his army, even if the iron hooves trampled all over Afghanistan, in the end it was still inevitable to return home.

The most recent was the invasion of the Soviet Union in '79, which copied the puppet government, but unfortunately fell into the whirlpool of guerrilla warfare, and the former leader ********** said that Afghanistan was a wound that bleed day and night on the Soviet Union. This disgraceful invasion eventually led to the tearing apart of the already fat body of the Soviet Union, and finally collapsed.

——

The red light on the bridge flashed, and the alarm screamed.

A thought immediately flashed through Long Yun's mind, this helicopter was locked.

"Unlucky!" He leaned over and hoisted himself out of the cabin, only to see a surface-to-air missile with a red tail flame in an arc in the air on the dark ground, flying towards the helicopter.

"Missiles are coming!" Jon yelled, and everyone clutched onto the safety rings in the cabin.

Helicopters are like that, now helicopters are like birds flying in the sky, and someone below them shoots upwards with bows and arrows, and when they hit, they are gone.

Long Yun could see from the missile's tail flame that this was not a large anti-aircraft missile, but a shoulder-fired missile.

"It's shoulder-mounted!" Long Yun shouted, "The Taliban seem to be well equipped!" ”

Jon's face turned cold, and he immediately remembered something, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the CIA!" ”

Long Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Jon's words. The Taliban's air defense weapons are actually very weak, except for some anti-aircraft machine guns, that is, some "needle" portable air defense missiles that were captured in the hands of the Soviet army, however, because there was basically no air power in Afghanistan at that time to hit the Soviet army, so the Soviet army was equipped with basically not much, because the Taliban did not capture much, and some intelligence showed that there were no more than 20 guns, and they had long been consumed in the civil war.

On the contrary, the largest stock was another batch of "Stinger" shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles supported by the CIA at that time to help the anti-Soviet forces. This batch of things was originally intended to allow guerrilla soldiers to deal with the Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunship that terrified them, and it was the most advanced shoulder-fired missile equipped by the US military at that time, with very advanced performance, using infrared-guided thermal tracking and ultraviolet object tracking, which belonged to the kind of intelligent air defense missile that could be ignored when launched.

Looking at the missile that was chasing the helicopter, Lieutenant Jon, a member of the Delta Special Forces who had used the Stinger missile many times, could tell with his toes who made it.

The helicopter was constantly maneuvering in the air, and when the Stinger missile approached the plane, the hot decoy bombs began to be ejected under the belly of the plane, and countless flashes of light spread out in the dark night sky like huge wings.

I have to admit that the pilots of the 160 Special Aviation Regiment are indeed first-class, and helicopters are different from fighter planes, and if they are careless, they will cause loss of control, or even stall, and finally lead to the destruction of the plane.

However, this family actually kept rolling in the air and made a ninety-degree climb, and it was still able to fly steadily.

The cabin was as silent as death except for the roar of the engine, no one spoke, and everyone knew that their fate was now hanging by a thread.

Long Yun felt that his palms were full of sweat when he grabbed the safety ring, and because the helicopter was maneuvering at high speed and large speed, his body was under pressure of nearly 4 G.

Damn it! You can't die before you get out of the school, and then you will be blown into meat sauce before flying into Afghanistan, right? I have to go back alive and form a ghost team! The old fish's revenge has not been avenged!

Boom –

The hot decoy bomb worked, exploding a huge fireworks flame on the right side of the plane.

The crisis disappeared, and the evasion was successful!

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden thud, as if something had hit. The alarm that had just been lifted sounded again, and Long Yun glanced back into the cab.

On the instrument panel, the glow-in-the-dark pointers on several instruments spun like crazy, and the plane seemed to have something malfunctioning.

"What's going on!?" Jon shouted into the cab.

"Something hit our engine! Damn it! The pilot yelled in annoyance, "We've really hit the jackpot!" ”

Although the armor does not reach the hardness of Apache, high-strength composite materials are used in many parts of the fuselage, and armor plates are even added in some places. However, the engine is on the roof of the cabin, where it is indeed the most vulnerable, if a sniper wants to shoot a helicopter with a gun, he has only two ways - either shoot through the glass to kill the pilot, or shoot accurately at the junction of the propeller and the engine, as long as he hits the oil pipe, the oil pressure of the aircraft can drop instantaneously, resulting in a crash.

"Good things happen to us, damn it!" Long Yun couldn't help but open his mouth and spew a national curse.
