Chapter 34: Back to the Carbine
PS: Thank you for the rewards of the three friends, sometimes, flowers bloom and fall, screens and shadows, and the undestined leaves. Thank you for your voting support!
In fact, the decision to attack this helicopter base from the beginning was a gamble battle. Even if it succeeded, it would not be possible to escape unscathed. After all, this was the place where the Soviets defended heavily.
Mhamad made up his mind to kill these female deer, and knew that the battle would be very cruel, which completely violated the tactics of guerrilla warfare. However, he was bullied by the female deer on his head several times. Mhamad couldn't bear it anymore.
Now, the Soviets have withdrawn. It is impossible for them to drive this armored vehicle to break out again. Now they are wandering around the apron. The Soviets are afraid of hitting their planes and have concerns. If they drive out and cannot enter the mountain, they will be hit by armor-piercing bullets.
Even now, Mhamad was gambling. When he got to the side of the female deer, the Soviet tanks did not dare to fire, for fear of accidentally attacking the female deer.
There were twelve female deer staying in this field airport, a flight brigade of size. Just now, Mhamad came all the way and blew up six. Half of the female deer were destroyed. If there were any mistakes in the remaining few, the base commander here would definitely not be able to bear it. Even now, the losses are huge enough.
It is also because of this that when they approached the female deer and then pedaled, the Soviets did not fire or even fired. They were afraid that the plane would be shot by mistake. Until they saw the propeller of the helicopter start to rotate, the helicopter flew up swayingly, and the oil pipe of the refueling truck was torn off, they could not believe their eyes. The Afghan guerrillas, those illiterate illiterate ones who could actually drive helicopters?
"Hurry, shoot! These guerrillas are going to escape!" The situation is clear now. If they are struggling with this helicopter, they will have no chance. If the guerrillas rob the helicopter and escape, the commander of Jalalabadri will be even more angry at their failed actions.
The helicopter was shaking up and down, and sweat flowed down Mhamad's forehead. He kept operating the operating rod, but the helicopter was shaking back and forth disobediently. Needless to say, it would drive away. Maybe it would fall down again at any time and throw them into meat pies.
He simply let go of all the operating rods and reached out to remove the armored soldiers' hats. Now, he no longer has to pretend to be a Soviet, and the hats can be thrown away.
Just when all the operating rods were released, the helicopter stabilized and hovered in the air. Suddenly, Mhamad reacted. The pilot instructor had said before, which was called the pilot inducing oscillation. When he felt the plane lean forward, he immediately pulled back. As a result, the plane leaned backward again, and then pushed the operating rod forward. In this way, the amplitude of the plane became larger and larger.
Soft, be sure to be gentle! Mhamad gently pushed the operating rod, and sure enough, the helicopter slowly leaned forward this time and flew forward.
"Fight!" All the weapons below were aimed at the sky and shot towards the helicopter.
There is a layer of armor protection under the female deer. Ordinary bullet shooting is simply ineffective against it.
Mhamad operated a helicopter and flew away from the air base. The guerrillas in the back cabin were still like in a dream. In the past, I had only seen Soviet people flying over their heads with a proud look. But I never thought that one day I could sit on this iron lump and fly into the sky?
The instructor is so great that he can even open the iron bird!
There is a mountainous area ahead. If you fly directly in, you will be completely out of danger. However, Mhamad gritted his teeth and pushed the operating rod. The female deer turned and flew backwards.
There are five female deer at the airport, and they must be killed!
The female deer was hung with rocket launch nests and anti-tank missiles on both sides of the short wings, but Mhamad could not operate at all. It was supposed to be operated by the weapon operator in the front cabin. Now, the front cabin is empty and no one can operate at all. Moreover, even if there are people, no one will tinker with those things.
It’s a pity that those weapons are. Although the hangers on both sides cannot be used, there are still weapons in the cockpit behind them.
The Soviets also adapted to the situation. After the female deer entered Afghanistan with the Soviet army, although the formal modification did not begin, the Soviet army installed machine guns on the side door of the female deer's rear cabin. In this way, when the soldiers in the female deer's rear cabin were not too late to be put down, they could operate the machine guns to attack the guerrilla soldiers on the ground from the side. Moreover, when the female deer was about to land, the machine guns on both sides could help them open up safe landing sites. After all, the rear view of this wide helicopter was almost zero.
Hearing Mhamad's orders and watching the helicopter turn, the guerrillas in the rear cabin became excited again. They opened the sliding hatch door and pushed out the machine guns on both sides.
Dulani was originally a machine gunner. He grabbed a machine gun and prepared to fire below.
The ground was constantly changing, and the airport was getting closer and closer.
Several gas trucks were quickly refueling the remaining helicopters, and the ground crew were slapping bullets, and their hearts were filled with anger.
On the helicopter, the pilot was already sitting there, waiting for the equipment to be finished and he could take off and chase.
This is a joke about the entire Jalalabad base, a joke about the entire Soviet army. The base of the armed helicopter was patronized by the guerrillas, killed six helicopters, and snatched one!
The maintenance of Mi-24 female deer is very complicated. Every time a flight is flying, it requires several hours of maintenance. These helicopters returned on mission yesterday. It was already dark and there was no maintenance or refueling to hang up the bullets. As a result, they could only stare at the helicopter when they saw that the helicopter was taken away.
The pilots of the helicopter did not participate in the battle just now. They hid in the tower until the helicopter was taken away and left. They came out and ran quickly towards their planes. Each pilot was trained by the state and cost countless money. Their stage was in the sky.
As long as they refuel and get the bullets in, they will shoot down the stolen helicopter when they take off!
Before the refueling was over, a roar came from the sky again, and the helicopter flew back!
Looking at the panicked Soviet soldiers below, watching the vehicles start, and the helicopters on the tarmac that were about to take off, Mhamad knew that he was coming at the right time!
"Fight!" Dulani shouted loudly, pulling the firing button of his machine gun.
"Crazy, da da da da da da da." The links slid from the machine gun's chamber, and countless bullets flew out of the muzzle and shot towards the ground.
A Soviet soldier was immediately swept down by a machine gun and fell down screaming. Durani continued to push the gun forward and the bullet flew to the tarmac in front.
The female deer's armor is all lower. When it flies on the battlefield, it mainly prevents the air defense fire from below. If the female deer is equipped with armor protection everywhere, it will be very heavy. Therefore, from the upper part of the attack, the female deer's resistance is very weak.
On the other side, Aga operated another machine gun and fired at the same time on both sides. The Soviet soldiers below could not resist the flames on both sides at all.
"Boom." The refueling car next to a helicopter was blown up, and immediately, along with the helicopter next to it, started to burn in the explosion.
"Soviets, let you taste the power of the Afghan guerrillas!" The rest of the guerrillas were not idle either. They pulled the grenades and threw the grenades from the sky.
"Boom, boom!" Explosions were everywhere, machine guns were strafing everywhere, and the Soviets also tasted the taste of being hit from the air.
The east began to turn white and the sky gradually became brighter.
Several helicopters on the apron were destroyed. Mhamad pressed the operating rod and planned to fly over the top again and fly away for another round. However, when his eyes looked at the ground from the side porthole, his eyes suddenly stopped.
Several armored vehicles were moving quickly. Looking at the direction, they came from the Kabul area. The chassis of these armored vehicles was very similar to ordinary tracked chassis, but there was a huge turret above. There were four not-thick gun barrels in front of the turret, and a mushroom tray-like thing was erected behind the turret.
Grandma’s, this thing is the real killer weapon, the nightmare of the Afghan guerrillas!
Shilehe 23mm four-pipe self-propelled anti-aircraft gun!
Shilehe was the first all-weather, fully automatic multi-barrel self-propelled anti-aircraft gun equipped by the Soviet Union. The entire system consists of an improved AЗП 23mm 4-barrel automatic gun, a closed turret, a ГM575 chassis and a radar fire control system. It is the first type of Soviet Union and the first type of self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in the world, with fierce firepower and advanced technology.
On the battlefield of Palestinian-Israel, during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, according to statistics from the Arab coalition, one-third of the more than 300 fighter jets lost by the Israeli Air Force were shot down by Shilehe anti-aircraft artillery.
In later records, during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Shilehe played a versatile role. The guerrillas did not have planes. They were not used to hit planes, but to attack guerrillas in mountainous areas.
Because it has a large shooting range at a high and low level, it can quickly fire and counterattack when it encounters ambushing guerrillas on the mountain, and cover the guerrilla positions with fierce bomb rain. At this time, the bulky T-62 tank is still looking for a suitable shooting position to overcome the embarrassment of being unable to fire due to the limitation of shooting angle.
If Mhamad could fully operate the armed helicopter, he could use missiles on both sides to kill the several self-propelled artillery, but now, he can only have one choice, run, and run as far as possible! The 23mm anti-aircraft gun can easily tear the female deer's armor and knock the female deer into an air explosion.
Chapter completed!
