"This place has been the birthplace of warriors since ancient times." Mhamad said: "Armor is a necessary equipment for a knight."
In the face of modern machine gun fire, the tactics of large-scale cavalry charges have long disappeared. Only in the mountains of Afghanistan, mechanized forces cannot be exerted, which gives the cavalry room to re-exert their power.
Although Mhamad was speaking very seriously just now, James also knew that 90% of Mhamad was joking. This Mhamad is becoming more and more difficult to understand.
"James, what else is there to do when I come to the guerrillas this time?" Mhamad asked James.
"In order to better eliminate the Soviets," James said: "We in the United States are willing to support some advanced weapons. In addition to the stinger and pottery, we also have some special warheads that can support you."
Special Bullet? Hearing James' words, Mhamad stood up. At this time, Lilith had already started to gesture the two cut items there and was preparing to make a vest.
Mhamad took James to an uninhabited corner outside and said to James: "What warhead?"
"For example, after the explosion, a special gas can be released." James said to Mhamad: "Just one can destroy a base of the Soviets."
Hearing James' words, Mhamad immediately shook his head: "No, this will escalate the war to an uncontrollable situation."
The Americans provide conventional weapons, which is what the Afghan guerrillas need most, but providing this special gas is actually a weapon of poison gas, which is another matter, which will escalate the war.
Americans are not willing to be kind. They must have invented new chemical weapons and wanted to test their power. Mhamad would not agree with this approach.
"This is just one of my suggestions," James said. "Since His Excellency Mhamad doesn't want to do so, just treat it as if I didn't agree."
James laughed dryly and said nothing.
"Why are there no stinger missiles from the weapons sent this time?" Mhamad asked James. Mhamad had seen all the weapons. The 107 rocket launcher is the highlight of this time. There are also many shells, bullets, mines, grenades, and rifles, all of which are good, but there are no stinger missiles that Mhamad needs most.
Last time, a total of ten were shipped, and after a few battles, there were only a few left.
"Through your use on the battlefield, I have discovered many problems," James said. "Now, the engineers at General Motors are trying to improve this missile, so that the missile has excellent target interception capabilities, and the problem of chasing the sun will not occur again."
Is the missile improved so quickly? This is completely different from the history. Mhamad thought in his heart, not knowing the authenticity of James's words, and it is not convenient to refute it.
"When will the next batch of missiles be delivered?" asked Mhamad. "Without the stinger, it will be difficult for us to effectively attack the Soviet female deer."
"After the snow melts, the second batch of missiles will arrive." James said: "We are most concerned about the battle against the warriors of the Soviet Union and will not delay."
Anyway, it is the cold winter now, and the battle will not be carried out on a large scale, so there are not many opportunities to use stingers.
Mhamad extended his right hand to James: "I thank American friends for their help. Liberating Afghanistan will be a long and arduous process. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will overcome them. We firmly believe that victory will definitely belong to Afghanistan."
James also stretched out his right hand: "We will stand firmly behind our friends and are very honored to be united with the Afghan people."
The two hands were held together, but each of them had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Mhamad suddenly remembered something. What James told him just now was secret, but James did not avoid Lilith just now!
The heavy snow has completely closed the mountain. No one will walk around at this time. It is the warmest time to crouch at home and roast it on fire.
On the mountain road, a group of people were walking. They drove donkeys and carried two bags on the donkey's back. The bags contained the food that Afghan villagers had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Your Excellency Instructor, you don't need it. I can bring this food back by myself." In front of the team, two people were walking in the snow, one was Ramael and the other was Mhamad.
It was cold and no one wanted to come out. When the food was transported, Ramael brought the food back with more than a dozen young men from the village and these animals.
And Mhamad followed them.
Ramad was very grateful. With this food, the village no longer had to be afraid of how to spend this winter, and Mhamad went with him, which made him even more excited.
At this time, Ramael had already known Mhamad's identity. Mhamad was not a Pashtun, but an instructor from the country to the east!
No wonder he is so capable of fighting, and it is so good to the Tajik people. He can give so much food evenly. The Tajik people are grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, Mhamad did not just go to the village of Lamale, but mainly wanted to see the young men there, who had qualified soldiers, so he pulled them into his own team.
When a deep friendship is formed in the battle, national prejudice will naturally gradually fade away. The integration between these ethnic groups in Afghanistan will eventually become a whole, so that Afghanistan will be stable and powerful.
"It's okay in winter. I'll go out and walk around, just treat it as seeing the scenery." Mhamad said.
There is a saying in the ancient East that is called auspicious snow signifying a good harvest. Does this heavy snow indicate a good harvest now indicate a good harvest next year?
Bagram.
A fighter bomber slid from the apron to the runway. With a long fuselage, a wide tail wing, and the root of the main wing, you can see special equipment. This is an aircraft with variable sweep wings that can change the sweep angle of the wing.
In the equipment sequence of the Soviet army, there is only one type of MiG-23 aircraft with variable sweep wing. At this time, the aircraft on the runway is MiG-23bn. The fighter bomber developed from MiG-23 is mainly used to perform bombing missions.
Variable sweep wings are unique products of this era. The sweep angle of the wing affects the performance of the aircraft. The sweep angle is small, which makes it easy to hover at low altitude, and the sweep angle is large, making it easier to sprint quickly. Therefore, if the sweep angle can be changed, this fighter should be perfect.
The Soviets made MiG-23 and the Americans made F-14. There is a gap between facts and theories. Changes in sweep angles require additional devices, and the added weight and complexity offset this advantage.
Now, the plane is ready to go, with four eye-catching bombs hanging under the wings, with special black skeleton marks on it.
A ground crew member waved a small flag and guided the fighter-bomber slowly to the main runway. He aimed at the runway, and the pilot stepped on the two rudders under his feet.
If you step on one side alone, you will turn in the air, and if both rudders move at the same time, you will be the brake wheel.
After he stepped on it, the nose of the plane paused forward, and he said calmly: "Bagram, the Black Bear requested to take off."
The sound reached the tower via radio. Bergrad looked at Kurikov, and Kurikov nodded expressionlessly.
So Bergrad knew that there was no room for this matter to turn around, and the commander had made up his mind.
"You can take off and bomb as planned." Echoes from the tower came from the headphones.
The black bear let go of his feet and gently increased the accelerator with his left hand. The huge fighter bomber spewed out of his tail and accelerated rapidly.
The horizons on both sides were passing by quickly. Without looking at the instrument in front, the black bear felt that the speed had reached the take-off speed. He gently pulled the operating lever back and the MiG-23bn soared into the air.
As soon as he took off, he began to turn and flew towards the airspace to the east. Then, he adjusted the sweep angle of the wing to forty-seven degrees and prepared to enter a high-altitude cruise state.
Compared with the computer control of the f-14 that automatically changes the sweep angle, the MiG-23 is still very primitive and requires manual mediation from the pilot.
While flying, the black bear swept the image tied to his knees from the corner of his eyes. This was taken by satellites in the sky. Several of the circles were the targets he was going to bomb this time, several Afghan villages! The people in these villages were all those who supported the Afghan guerrillas. Striking them was a punishment for the Afghan guerrillas!
The Soviets were already in the sky over Afghanistan. The black bear had no psychological burden on the bombing, and he even began to hum a little tune.
He didn't know that on the ground, several people who knew the inside story were all nervous.
Use chemical weapons! Once the news is leaked, how much trouble will it cause to the Soviet Union? Belgrad knew that this was not something he could bear, and the division commander could not afford it. Although the chemical weapons were transported to this base for storage, if they were really used, the big men in Moscow nodded.
The wrong bomb was hung? This reason was too bad. After the plane took off, Belgrad finally couldn't calm down. He wanted to pass over the division commander and report directly to the higher authorities!
After the fighter took off, Kurikov left the tower and notified him after the plane came back.
Bergrad stood in front of the satellite communications aircraft and said to the communications soldiers there: "Channel No. 3, pick me up Moscow."
The sky in Afghanistan is very clear in winter, and you can see the blue sky. Flying in this weather makes people feel happy.
Not long after, the black bear flew over the target and began to enter the preparation stage before the final attack.
There are endless mountains everywhere. Only by finding landmarks that have been determined in advance can we find the target in preparation and prevent accidental explosions.
Chapter completed!
