Military aircraft are fuel-drinking monsters, consuming tons of fuel at every turn, while air force bases need to store large amounts of fuel.

It's too dangerous to put directly on the ground. With the exception of tankers, fuel is stored underground.

The T-8 attack aircraft is about to be officially finalized, and it will be stationed at the base in Jalalabad for the first time. Therefore, the base here stores more fuel to prepare for the arrival of the new attack aircraft. As a result, hundreds of tons of fuel, It was ignited.

If it was just a rocket attack, after the attack, the airport here would still be repairable. But now, the fuel has been detonated, and the entire base has been completely destroyed in the violent explosion of fuel. All the underlying geological structures of the entire base have been destroyed. , have all changed, and this place has been completely destroyed.

Moreover, as the fuel was detonated, there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before the ammunition stored in the weapons depot was detonated.

Hamad returned to his own people, turned around and glanced at the fire that filled the sky, and was very satisfied with today's results.

Originally, Mhamad was still doubting the effectiveness of these twenty rockets. After all, they were only 107 mm caliber and had limited power. After the second explosion, the effect was too satisfying to Mhamad.

Hamad got on his horse and waved to his men. The entire team quickly disappeared into the wilderness, leaving only horse hoof prints.

Thirty minutes later, Jalalabad's troops hurriedly arrived from the city. What appeared in their eyes was still the sky full of fire and smoke. The explosion of ammunition had passed, and the entire air force base was completely in ruins. .

Facing the scene in front of him, Colonel Serge, the commander of the 117th Regiment of the 108th Division of the 40th Army, looked serious.

This is his defense zone, and those damn guerrillas actually destroyed the airport! This is a military base, the most heavily defended place!

Now, the entire Afghanistan region has been pacified, and only a small group of Afghan guerrillas are active, so there is nothing to fear. On the surface, Afghanistan is firmly in the hands of the Soviet army, but in front of us, the military airport appears Being bombed shows that the Afghan guerrillas have formed a very powerful force. If they dare to attack the airport today, they will dare to attack Jalalabad tomorrow!

This is absolutely not allowed!

"Call Ilyich over!" Serge said through gritted teeth.

This place was attacked by guerrillas, and base commander Ilyich bears the greatest responsibility!

"Report, Ilyich has died gloriously. In the command tower, His Excellency Ilyich was burned to death." After a long time, a guard beside him said.

Ilyich is dead? Serge was stunned for a moment. The place was attacked by guerrillas and suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen aircraft, especially the Il-76 transport plane, had elite KGB troops on board, plus the guarding troops. The ground staff and Moscow did not know how angry they should be. Even if Ilyich was alive, he would not be able to escape the trial of the Military Justice Department. If he died, he would still be able to leave something to his family, such as a hero's badge.

If he is alive, he will be brought back to Moscow and put on trial. Once he dies, he will be exaggerated into a hero, a warrior who defends the air base and fights bravely. Only in this way can he cover up the incompetence of the Soviet army.

He was dead, feeling relaxed all over, and all the troubles here fell on him.

"Report, the division commander, Major General Kulikov, is flying to Jalalabad from the Bagram Division Headquarters and is expected to arrive in Jalalabad in half an hour." At this moment, the correspondent reported to Sergei.

The teacher is here! After the attack on the air force base here, the division commander immediately flew from the division headquarters, showing how much he values ​​this place! As soon as Serge knew, he had to find out the truth here within half an hour and report it to the division commander at the same time. Otherwise, under the division commander's rage, even if he put all the blame on Ilyich, he would not be able to do it. .

In the sky, three helicopters made a rumbling sound. The two helicopters in front and behind were Mi-24 Hind helicopters painted like eagles. The weapons racks on both sides were full of rockets and missiles. This time, they were responsible for For the escort mission, under the protection of these two helicopters, a Mi-8 medium-sized helicopter was flying.

Amidst the rumbling sound, a middle-aged man in the cabin cast his sharp eyes towards the earth below, the barren land, the mountains, and the occasional donkey cart that could be seen. There was no economic benefit here, the only , which is of military significance. It allowed the Soviet Union to obtain a passage south to the Indian Ocean, breaking the American containment in Western Europe in one fell swoop!

Wrinkles have begun to appear on his face. As the commander of the 108th Division, he has a strategic vision and knows specific tactical command. He first led the 108th Division and first stationed it in Kabul, and then transferred to Bagram.

Bagram is fifty kilometers north of Kabul and eleven kilometers south of Charikar, the capital of Parwan Province. Here, there is a large air force base. The Soviet Union used it as its main military base. There is a road of more than three thousand meters. The runway, many military supplies are transferred from here, and at the same time, the headquarters of the 108th Division is also established here. In later generations, after it was acquired by the US military, it also began to serve as an important military base, accounting for half of the US military in Afghanistan.

In contrast, the airport in the north of Jalalabad was just a small front-line airport. It did not even have a runway at first and could only take off and land helicopters. It was not until later that simple runways were built.

Kulikov looked into the distance. In the afterglow of the setting sun, smoke continued to rise from the ground in the distance.

"Let's fly over and take a look." Kulikov said. He knew that was where the Jalalabad Air Force Base was.

The fire had been put out, but the smoke was still rising. There were ruins everywhere. The most conspicuous was the huge wreckage of the Il-76. Seeing this, Kulikov felt his heart was stabbed.

More than a hundred elite soldiers were transported on it! They were the elites of the KGB. As a result, they died on the plane before they set foot on the land of Afghanistan. If I had known earlier, I should have strongly recommended that they land in Bagram and then rush to Jalalabad in an infantry fighting vehicle.

Kulikov suddenly couldn't control his emotions, and his nose began to sour.

"Major General..." Seeing Kulikov's eyes turn red and then two lines of hot tears flowed, Belgrad, the chief of staff of the division beside him, couldn't help but be surprised. Why is the division commander like this? As a general, even if all the soldiers died, he could not shed tears. He shed blood and sweat but not tears!

"It's okay." Kulikov tried to calm himself down, but his son's tall and handsome figure kept appearing in front of him.

Before the transport plane arrived, the information of Unit A was passed to the 108th Division to facilitate mutual cooperation. Kulikov saw his son's name from it, who was the commander of Unit A this time!

The KGB was top secret. This was the first time Kulikov knew his son. Klimikov was already a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Union and had experienced many battles!

And now, with the fall of this transport plane, he went to another world, and his soul had ascended to heaven...

Therefore, when he heard the news of the attack here, Kulikov immediately decided to come here from the division headquarters!

"Land at the airport." Kulikov said suddenly.

"Major General, it's dangerous here. It has just been attacked by Afghan guerrillas. If you land here, I'm afraid your safety cannot be fully guaranteed." Belgrade said.

"The Afghan guerrillas have already fled after the attack. Why are they still here?" Kulikov said, "As the commander of the 108th Division, I am also responsible for this matter. I must come to the scene to see it."

Kulikov's order cannot be violated. The helicopter began to turn and headed towards the airport. A Hind helicopter circled the airport first, and another Hind landed. The infantry squad inside came down and blocked the surroundings. The Mi-8 helicopter landed.

Watching the Mi-8 helicopter land, Serge knew that the division commander had arrived. He was planning to return to Jalalabad to wait for the arrival of the division commander, but he didn't expect the division commander to come here!

The airflow of the rotor blew the earth, and the yellow dust flew everywhere. The cabin door opened, and Kulikov walked down with a serious face.

"Report to the division commander, the commander of the 117th Regiment, Serge, is here to greet you." Serge saluted and looked at the serious division commander Kulikov.

Kulikov just casually returned a military salute and asked Serge I: "Why was there an attack by the guerrillas here? Why did it cause such a big loss? Have you investigated it clearly?"

If the division commander came five minutes earlier, Serge I would not be able to answer. Just now, he found a survivor and learned what happened at that time. He carefully surveyed the surrounding situation and confirmed what happened at that time.

"The defense of the base is completely fine. It is safest within five kilometers." Serge I said: "This time, the Afghan guerrillas attacked us at a distance of eight kilometers."

Eight kilometers? Kulikov asked: "How is it possible? Did they use cannons?"

"Not cannons, but 107 rockets, which carried out a covering attack." Serge I said: "On the battlefield in Vietnam, the Vietnamese used 107 rockets to attack the US military. Now, this method is the same. I suspect that the Afghan guerrillas have received help from a country in the East."

107 rockets? Following Sergei, Kulikov arrived at the crude launch platform, which had already been burned horribly by the heat of the rocket launch.

Looking east, Kulikov had a cruel sneer on his face. He silently lit a cigar and took a deep puff.
