Chapter 327: Kazra Village
A faint light appeared in the valley on the right side of the road, a small village!
Long Yun knocked on the cab and shouted, "Rush out from the right side of the highway and hide in that village!" There you can call for air support! ”
Soldiers of the transport company of the 10th Mountain Division, driving the M939 truck, turned their wheels into a thick cloud of dust on the dirt road, and the car rushed off the recommended road towards a small village two kilometers away.
Rushed out of the road, potholes everywhere, the terrain is uneven, fortunately the M939 has excellent off-road performance, in addition to turning everyone upside down, finally did not lie down.
Long Yun looked out of the car, and the tank also rushed down the road, and the most surprising thing was that a large part of the Taliban soldiers on the hillside actually chased after him on donkeys.
That's right, it's a donkey!
In the southwest of the Pamir Plateau, outside Afghanistan, the natural environment is very harsh. More than eighty percent of the territory is either rugged rocks or treacherous valleys, most of which are between meters above sea level, and the north and south sides of the rolling Hindu Kush are arid deserts or grasslands with low grass, and the terrain is complex. This Afghan bantam donkey is not tall and tall, but after years of breed evolution, it is very suitable for running on mountain roads like Afghanistan, and the speed on this mountain is not slow compared to the M939 truck!
"Cavalry ......" Long Yun smiled bitterly.
Although they knew that the tanks did not dare to directly fire and bombard the trucks, but those Taliban gunners were not idle, at night, due to the lack of night vision equipment, the marksmanship of the Taliban soldiers really did not dare to compliment, basically relying on the naked eye, but the advantage was that there were many people, and the density of the barrage was quite large.
The M939 steel plate was sparked by the bullet, and the two tires inside and outside had been hit and leaked, but fortunately, the truck had anti-leakage shots, and even if the tires were punctured, it could still drive 100 kilometers without lying down.
After about two kilometers, the car suddenly jolted violently, and then the body tilted to the right and almost flipped over.
"What's going on?" Long Yun asked as he knocked on the cab.
"We can't get by!" The soldier in charge of driving the car shouted, "It's all ditches and broken houses, and the car can't drive in." ”
Long Yun lifted the tarpaulin and saw that the car had already driven to the entrance of the village, crashed into a crop field, and now it was in a deep ditch, unable to move. It was an open field, several tens of meters away from the buildings of the village.
As the driver said, the outside of the village here is full of cultivated land, ravines and ravines, perhaps because of the war, there is a large area of uninhabited dilapidated mud houses on the outskirts of the village, forming a natural barrier, perhaps deliberately done by the villagers, to deal with the attack of the Soviet convoy.
The village is in the valley, built on the mountain, and the back of the village is a cliff, and there is basically no possibility of attacking, but the only thing to defend is the attack in the front of the village entrance and the left and right directions.
"Get off! We rush in! Long Yun shouted at Jon as he shot at the Taliban cavalry who was catching up, "You take your men to build a defensive line on the left and right, and the rest of the men follow me and Gege to guard the entrance of the village." ”
"What about this box?" Jon gestured to the large wooden box in the carriage.
"Do you think we'll be able to run away with it?" Long Yun said: "Don't worry, it's okay to throw it here, the Taliban people don't dare to swagger and take it away, this is within our range." ”
"Good!" Jon turned to his men and waved, "Let's rush into that broken house and build a defensive line there, Anderson, you go find a sniper position in the village, GO!" GO! GO! ”
Bullets chirped into the fields, splashing mud and dust, and as soon as Ensign Rhodes jumped out of the car, there was a clang on his back, a cloud of sparks coming out of the equipment on his back, followed by the smell of burnt smoke.
The impact of the bullet pushed Ensign Rhodes forward, and the man fell headlong into the ditch.
"Rhodes! Are you okay!? Jon was nervous.
Rhodes is the team's interpreter and communications officer, fluent in Persian, and now is the time to enter the village, and it is obviously much more convenient to have someone who can communicate with the villagers.
"It's okay......" Rhodes coughed twice and crawled out of the ditch, pulling the satellite radio in his hand, "but our radio station is useless......"
“OH,SHI/T!” Jon was a little frustrated, and pulled over the radio to see that there were two bullet holes in it, and the radio was obviously no longer usable, "Did the front command know where we were before?" ”
"It's been ten minutes since the last contact to confirm the location, and they don't know the current location yet, so it's not easy to find us." Rhodes said.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, go to the village, and then find a way." Long Yun crouched next to the wheels, put the red dot in the scope and lassoed a Taliban soldier, and the burst shot knocked him flying and fell under the donkey.
The group threw down the M939 that was already lying on its stomach, and retreated all the way back to the dilapidated house at the entrance of the village.
Leaning against the cold earthen wall, Long Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, the temperature was now extremely low, and the sky suddenly began to snow.
"Rhodes, see if you can fix that thing?" Long Yun said: "We are trapped, I estimate that it will be more troublesome by dawn, we have few people and limited ammunition, it is difficult to withstand their continuous attacks, and we must call for air support." ”
Rhodes carefully dismantled the satellite radio, checked it and said, "There is good news and bad news, which one do you listen to?" ”
"Good news, bad luck all night, listen to something happy first." Long Yun said.
"The radio parts are fine, the bullet just hit the battery." Rhodes said.
"Very good, it seems that there is still hope for us." Long Yun said, "What about the bad news? ”
"The bad news is that my spare battery was thrown out of the cabin at the time of the crash, which means I don't have a spare battery to replace it." Rhodes shrugged and said regretfully.
"Aren't there lights in the village?" Long Yun glanced in the direction of the entrance of the village, "Isn't it OK for you to bring someone over and borrow electricity from the villagers?" ”
Rhodes nodded, beckoned to a soldier of the 10th Mountain Division, and the two of them made their way towards the entrance of the village.
Long Yun turned to Jon, "Lieutenant Jon, what is this place?" ”
Jon looked at the map for a while, pointed to a place and said, "It's a village called Kazra, which is nearly a hundred kilometers away from Bagram Air Base and only seventy kilometers away from Kabul. ”
As he was talking, Long Yun suddenly found that a group of Taliban soldiers had rushed to the M939 lying in front of the nest, and actually began to climb into the car, looking like they were going to unload the box and drag it away.
Long Yun raised his gun and saw a few bright spots shaking under the tarpaulin through the thermal imager, and the Taliban soldiers seemed to have no idea that they could not escape the thermal imager's scanning even when they sat behind the tarpaulin.
Da Da Da –
A series of short shots knocked over two of the Taliban soldiers, and the rest seemed to come to their senses, jumping out of the car like frightened beasts, hiding behind tires and not daring to move.
"It's hard enough." Long Yun felt that the contents of this box were obviously important to the Taliban, what was it? He suddenly remembered Fadi and looked around, the guy was hiding in a corner shivering.
Walked over and grabbed him and slammed him against the earthen wall, and Fadi once again had a star in his eyes.
"Say, what's in the box?"
Fadi felt a cold, hard thing under his neck, and looked down to see that the muzzle of the USP9 was already pressed against his chin.
"Don't ...... I said I said ......"
