"This place has been the birthplace of warriors since ancient times." Muhammad said: "Armor is a necessary equipment for a knight."
In the face of modern machine gun firepower, the tactics of large-scale cavalry charge have long disappeared. Only in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, mechanized forces cannot be exerted, which gives the cavalry room to exert their power again.
Although Muhammad just said it very seriously, James also knew that Muhammad was 90% joking. This Muhammad is becoming more and more puzzling.
"James, what else do you want to do in the guerrillas this time?" Muhammad 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 Stinger and TOW, we also have some special warheads that can support you."
Special warheads? Hearing James' words, Muhammad stood up. At this time, Lilith had already started to gesture the two cut pieces to make a vest.
Muhammad took James to an empty corner outside and said to James: "What warhead?"
"For example, after the explosion, it can release some special gas." James said to Muhammad: "Just one can destroy a Soviet base."
Hearing James' words, Muhammad 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, which is actually a poison gas weapon, is another matter, which will escalate the war.
The Americans are not kind-hearted. They must have invented new chemical weapons and want to test their power. Muhammad will not agree to this approach.
"This is just a suggestion from me." James said: "Since Mr. Muhammad is unwilling, just pretend that I didn't say it."
James laughed dryly twice and said nothing more.
"Why are there no Stinger missiles in the weapons delivered this time?" Muhammad asked James. Muhammad had seen all the weapons. The 107 rocket launcher was the highlight of this time. There were also many shells, bullets, mines, grenades, and rifles. They were all good, but there was no Stinger missile that Muhammad needed most.
Last time, a total of ten were delivered. After several battles, there were only a few left.
"Through your use on the battlefield, many problems have been discovered." 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 no longer occur."
Improved the missile so quickly? This is completely different from history, Muhammad thought in his heart. He didn't know whether James' words were true or not, and it was inconvenient to refute.
"When will the next batch of missiles be delivered?" Muhammad asked, "Without the stinger, it will be difficult for us to effectively attack the Soviet doe."
"After the snow melts, the second batch of missiles will be delivered." James said, "We are most concerned about the battle of the warriors against the Soviet Union, and we will not delay."
Anyway, it is a severe winter now, and the battle will not be carried out on a large scale, and there are not many opportunities to use the stinger.
Muhammad extended his right hand to James: "Thank you very much for the help of our American friends. 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 belong to Afghanistan."
James also extended his right hand: "We will stand firmly behind our friends and are very honored to be on the same front with the Afghan people."
The two hands were held together, but each of them had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Muhammad suddenly remembered something. What James had just told him was confidential, but James had not avoided Lilith just now!
The heavy snow completely closed the mountain. No one would walk at this time. At this time, staying at home and roasting by the fire was the warmest.
On the mountain road, a group of people were walking. They were driving donkeys. On the donkeys' backs, there were two bags. The bags contained the food that the Afghan villagers had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Sir, you don't need to come. I can take these foods back by myself." In front of the team, two people were walking in the snow. One was Ramal and the other was Muhammad.
It was cold and no one wanted to come out. When the food was delivered, Ramal took a dozen young men from the village and these animals to transport the food back.
And Muhammad came with them.
Ramal was very grateful. With these foods, the village no longer had to worry about how to get through this winter, and Muhammad also went with him, which made him excited.
At this time, Ramal already knew Muhammad's identity. Muhammad was not a Pashtun, but an instructor from the country in the east!
No wonder he was so good at fighting, and he was so kind to the Tajiks, giving them so much food. The Tajiks were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
Muhammad certainly did not just go to Ramal's village, but mainly wanted to see the young men there, and if there were qualified soldiers, he would recruit them into his team.
The deep friendship formed in the battle will naturally melt away the national prejudice. The integration of these ethnic groups in Afghanistan will eventually form a whole, and Afghanistan will be stable and strong.
"It's okay in winter. I'll go out and walk around to see the scenery." Muhammad said.
There is heavy snow all around. There is a proverb in the ancient East that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Does this heavy snow indicate that next year will be a good year for harvest?
Bagram.
A fighter-bomber slid from the apron to the runway. The long fuselage, wide tail, and the root of the main wing can be seen with special equipment. This is a variable-sweep wing aircraft that can change the wing sweep angle.
In the Soviet army's equipment sequence, the only variable-sweep wing aircraft is the MiG-23. The aircraft on the runway at this time is the MiG-23BN, a fighter-bomber developed from the MiG-23, mainly used for bombing missions.
Variable swept wings are a unique product of this era. The sweep angle of the wing affects the performance of the aircraft. A small sweep angle is convenient for low-altitude hovering, and a large sweep angle is convenient for rapid sprinting. Therefore, if the sweep angle can be changed, this fighter should be perfect.
The Soviets created the MiG-23, and the Americans created the F-14. There is a gap between facts and theories. Changing the sweep angle requires additional devices, and the increased weight and complexity offset this advantage.
Now, the plane is ready to go. Under the wings, there are four eye-catching bombs with special black skull marks on them.
A ground crew waved a small flag and guided the fighter-bomber slowly to the main runway. Aiming at the runway, the pilot stepped on the two rudders under his feet.
Stepping on one side alone is turning in the air, and stepping on both rudders at the same time is the brake wheel.
When he had stepped on the pedals, the nose of the plane paused, and he said calmly: "Bagram, Black Bear requests to take off."
The voice was transmitted to the tower through the radio. Belgrade looked at Kulikov, and Kulikov nodded expressionlessly.
So Belgrade knew that there was no room for turning back on this matter, and the division commander had made up his mind.
"You can take off and bomb according to the original plan." The echo from the tower came from the headset.
Black Bear loosened his feet, and his left hand gently increased the throttle. The huge fighter-bomber spewed hot flames from the tail and accelerated rapidly.
The horizons on both sides were passing quickly. Black Bear didn't look at the instrument in front of him, but he felt that the speed had reached the take-off speed. He gently pulled the control stick back, and the MiG-23BN took off.
Just after taking off, he began to turn and flew towards the airspace to the east. Then, he adjusted the sweep angle of the wing to 47 degrees, ready to enter the high-altitude cruising state.
Compared with the F-14's computer-controlled automatic change of sweep angle, the MiG-23's is still very primitive and requires manual adjustment by the pilot.
While flying, Black Bear used the corner of his eye to scan the image tied to his knees. This was taken by the satellite in the sky. Several circled areas were the targets he wanted to bomb this time, several Afghan villages! The people in these villages all supported the Afghan guerrillas. Attacking them was a punishment for the Afghan guerrillas!
The sky over Afghanistan was already owned by the Soviets. Black Bear had no psychological burden for this bombing. He even began to hum a tune.
He didn't know that several people on the ground who knew the inside story were all uneasy.
Use chemical weapons! Once the news leaked out, how much trouble would it bring to the Soviet Union? Belgrade knew that this was not something he could afford, and the division commander couldn't afford it either. Although those chemical weapons were transported to this base for storage, they really needed the nod of those bigwigs in Moscow to use them.
Hang the wrong bomb? This excuse was too lame. When the plane took off, Belgrade finally lost his composure. He wanted to bypass the division commander and report directly to the higher-ups!
After the fighter took off, Kulikov left the tower and waited for the plane to come back before notifying him.
Belgrade stood in front of the satellite communication machine and said to the communication soldier there: "Channel 3, connect me to Moscow."
The sky in Afghanistan in winter is very clear, and you can see the blue sky. Flying in this weather makes people feel happy.
It didn't take long for Black Bear to fly over the target, and he began to enter the preparation stage before the final attack.
There are continuous mountains everywhere. Only by finding the landmarks determined in advance can you find the target in a timely manner to prevent accidental bombing.
