Chapter 45 Scorched Earth Attack
The short fuselage, long wings, and round engine ports are arranged on both sides of the fuselage. The cockpit is small, so the pilot seems to be lying inside.
This is an aircraft that has never appeared on the battlefield in Afghanistan. The guerrillas have already had a certain understanding of the female deer. However, this new aircraft made them feel fear, and the wings are full of bombs.
Mhamad stood on the high hills and captured the two planes through a telescope, and was immediately shocked.
"Air anti-aircraft machine gun preparation, shoulder missile preparation!" Mhamad shouted, and he quickly jumped onto a machine gun position on the top of the mountain. If the Soviets flew over, he could open fire in the shortest time.
This time, the Soviets' latest T-8 attack aircraft!
This is a special anti-armor ground attack aircraft, which is strong and durable. The key parts of the fuselage are all made of titanium alloy armor. It has not been formally established at this time and will be called the Su-25 attack aircraft, NATO code-named Frog Foot.
It began to develop in the 1970s. Until now, two of the eight prototypes have been sent directly to Afghanistan to cooperate with the Mi-24 to fight. During the entire Afghan battle, it was covered in scars and suffered machine gun strikes and stinger missiles many times. Sometimes the rear fuselage was destroyed and could fly back to the base again. This was simply a flying tank!
No matter what direction you fight, there is armor protection, and it is difficult to beat such an aircraft.
The bomb hanging under the wings fell, which would bring a sea of fire here. Although Mhamad secretly complained in his heart, his face remained silent. He was the core of everyone. If he was shaken, the morale of the army would be unstable.
The two attack aircraft slid through the sky in the distance and did not come toward the guerrilla base camp.
Mhamad breathed a sigh of relief. There was no leak here. The Soviets said they didn't know about it. Now, they might just fly on a routine basis to show their own force.
The attack plane went away, Mhamad stood on the top of the mountain and said, "The crisis was lifted, continue to train."
Just as he was about to get off the top of the mountain, Mhamad's eyes suddenly widened, the wings of the two planes swayed gently, and bombs fell one by one.
In that direction, it is Cost Village!
"Quick, gather!" Mhamad shouted, his eyes began to turn red, his fists were clenched tightly, the Soviets! They all had to die!
The other guerrillas followed Mhamad and ran quickly along the mountain road. At this time, thick smoke had already emanated from the depths of the mountains in the distance.
The mountain road was rugged and I ran for two hours. The guerrillas, who were out of breath, looked at the village in front of me.
There were fires everywhere, all the houses, those houses built with mud, were burning with fires, and thick smoke was rolling. No one was screaming in the fires, and there was no survivor in the entire village.
"Mom!" Aga shouted, wanting to rush into the village. He is from this village. His father is gone, only his mother is still here.
"You can't go in." The two guerrillas next to him were holding him hard. If they rushed in like this, they would only be trapped in the sea of fire.
There were some black things on the ground. Mhamad knew that this was a special incendiary bomb thrown by the Soviets. As long as the feet stepped on this black thing, they would burn immediately.
Scorched earth policy! In order to combat Afghan guerrillas, the Soviets adopted this policy. Although it failed in the end, it also led to more Afghanistan leaving their hometowns and wandering abroad.
The crazy Soviets actually dared to use this method! Mhamad remembered the last time he came to Cost Village, where the people here were very supportive of the guerrillas and helped transport ammunition. The village chief also had a very speculative chat with Mhamad. Now, with the fire, all the people here have disappeared.
This is a very tragic method. When the Japanese invaded China, they implemented the Three Lights Policy in North China. As long as they supported the Eighth Route Army, they would slaughter the villages. This made many people in the village no longer accept the Eighth Route Army and no longer have the support of the people. It was like fish without water. During that period, it was the most difficult thing for the soldiers.
Now, the Soviets have also adopted this method. As long as they dare to support the guerrillas, they will blow up the village! They attempt to make the Afghan people surrender.
Mhamad's teeth bit his lips, and blood flowed out along the corners of his mouth.
"The Soviets are bastards, and they can do all kinds of beasts!" James, who followed him, was shocked when he saw everything in front of him: "His Excellency Mhamad, when he returns to Peshawar, I will report to the above that our United States will fully support the liberation of the Afghan guerrillas!"
"His Excellency James, please use your camera to record everything here." Mhamad said: "This is a naked crime committed by the Soviets, and the whole world should know."
Although the Soviets were not afraid of world public opinion and had already put aside their shame when they sent troops to Afghanistan, this is still an effective way to make the Western world more support the battle of the Afghan guerrillas.
"Instructor, are we just watching our relatives be subjected to barbaric attacks by the Soviets? They didn't even let the civilians go!" said Hwaja.
The Soviets have completely touched the bottom line this time. War has nothing to do with civilians. If you are accidentally injured a few people, it would be fine. But now, such a village that is nakedly bombing civilians is unacceptable.
The guerrillas all came from the surrounding villages. The Soviets' behavior was unforgivable!
"Of course not." Mhamad said: "The blood debt must be paid with blood! Those two Soviet attack aircraft are the culprits of the attack on our villagers this time. We must kill the pilots on it and avenge the villagers!"
Mhamad could not deal with the planes in the sky. Even if he arranged anti-aircraft guns, he did not know the flight route of the Soviets. Even if there were poisonous sting missiles, they could only stare at them if they exceeded the range.
However, the plane will eventually return to the base, and the pilots who fly the plane will also get off the plane and live a normal life, eat and sleep. Although the ultimate enemy is the leaders of Moscow, now, the direct executioner is these two pilots.
Mhamad's goal is very clear. As long as you dare to extend your hand to the villagers, no matter who it is, no matter how much the price it costs, you will still kill you! For blood to be for blood, for tooth to be for tooth!
"Lieutenant Mhamad, the mountains are the paradise for the guerrillas. If you rashly enter the big city, it will probably be very dangerous. Jalalabad has a tight defense and the air base is the focus of their defense. A few heavy machine guns can kill you all. How can you find those two pilots and kill them?" James asked.
"I need the help of my American friends," Mhamad said. "I know your intelligence system is very complete, and I need to know the exact information about these two pilots."
Although Mhamad had put a spy in Jalalabad and Dana was still loyal to her mission, Dana was not in a position to spy on the situation inside the air force base, and only the Americans could do this.
"James, I need your help. You have already seen the tragedy here. If the Soviets are not strongly shocked, they will still use this extreme method of harming civilians, in an attempt to make the Afghan guerrillas compromise." Mhamad said: "Please."
Mhamad's request was too much. He actually asked the Americans to provide them with information. However, Mhamad was the most sincere. James knew that he could not refuse.
"This is the world of Muslin." James said: "I don't know what level our intelligence has penetrated. Lieutenant Mhammad, I can try it, but don't report too high expectations."
"His Excellency James, you must be very interested in these two pilots. They are not ordinary pilots, they are test pilots. The value of a test pilot exceeds the gold equivalent to the weight of the body. If these two test pilots lose, it will be a huge loss for the Soviet aviation industry." Mhamad said.
Now, before the Su-25 was formally finalized, the prototype T-8 was sent to the Afghan battlefield to test the combat effectiveness of this aircraft through the most realistic battlefield. At the same time, this attack aircraft that has not been finalized and does not have a flight manual is not something that ordinary pilots can fly, but must be a test pilot!
Test pilots, born as pilots, are more advanced than pilots. They have to fly many extreme states to detect the performance of the aircraft and are in danger of life at any time. For example, ordinary pilots have almost the tragedy of plane destruction and death. They have to deliberately enter the stall tail spin, and then modify it to provide a basis for the writing of the flight manual.
Americans may not care about the deaths of these villagers. Everything is a political show. However, Americans will be very interested in killing two test pilots of the Soviets.
Sure enough, when Mhamad mentioned the test pilot, James' eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, I'll contact Peshawar immediately."
Outside Jalalabad, air force base.
Originally, this is just the base of Mi-24 helicopter. The soil runway is full of weeds. The takeoff of Mi-24 helicopter does not require a runway, only a tarmac is needed.
At this time, before the weeds on the runway had time to clean up, Soviet soldiers lined up in a row, only had time to clean up the canned boxes, shrapnel and other things on the runway. Above their heads, the roar of planes came.
Two strange-shaped planes appeared above the airport. They passed the runway lowly, and the roar shook the sky. Then, three turns, returned to flight again, aimed at the runway, and landed.
