Chapter 41: KGB's Swallow
The wind and sand are very strong. When the strong winds mixed with sand and stones come, many people can only lower their heads, bend their waists, back against the wind, and wait for the wind to subside before walking again.
The turban was untied and wrapped around the head, with only two eyes exposed. The harsh natural environment here has created a stronger adaptability for people.
Aisha gradually fell behind, she walked to the end of the team, in a place where the wind was blocked, panting heavily.
When Muhammad found that Aisha was missing, he immediately turned back to look for her and searched for three miles before finding Aisha.
"Muhammad, I'm holding everyone back." Aisha said: "Or else, you go ahead with the people first?"
"There are too many mountain roads here." Muhammad said: "If you don't keep up, you'll get lost. In these big mountains, it's easy to wander around for ten days or half a month without getting out."
Aisha got up again and followed Muhammad, continuing on their way.
After walking for a whole day, when night fell, the entire squad found a cave.
The loads on the backs of the donkeys were unloaded. When they felt the pressure disappear, these donkeys all raised their heads and brayed several times.
"We'll stay here for tonight," Muhammad said. "Everyone is tired, let's get some rest, we still have a long way to go tomorrow."
People lying horizontally and vertically on the ground soon fell asleep. Aisha, who was beside Muhammad, also quickly began to breathe regularly, she was tired too.
The mountains are the best barrier, Muhammad didn't even send a single sentry, everyone was snoring away in sleep, and those donkeys were also sleeping outside the cave.
Aisha's body swayed gently twice, slowly opening her eyes to look at Muhammad beside her, flashing a certain contemptuous gaze. She quietly got up and walked out.
She quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the cave, her figure swift, as if staying here for a moment longer was a kind of shame.
When Aisha disappeared outside the cave, Muhammad's eyes opened and he sat up. He looked at James on the other side, who also opened his eyes and stretched out both hands to him.
James and Muhammad have been acting all along, Aisha is not an Afghan girl at all, nor did she fall in love with Muhammad. The true identity of this girl is a swallow of the KGB!
Taking advantage of her identity as a radio station employee, she constantly made contact with Americans and was not afraid to take risks, going to bars to accompany them. This swallow was trying to obtain intelligence from the American side.
She was rescued by Muhammad, and it was all deliberately arranged. The hero saves the beauty, and the beauty rewards him with her body. This is an old trick that can't be any older, but it still works very well.
The Soviet Union is vast and rich, in some Central Asian republics, such as Tajikistan, the physique and appearance of people are similar to those of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This swallow is a chess piece carefully selected by the KGB and sent to Peshawar, hoping to dig up a lot of intelligence.
Having hooked up with Muhammad, Aisha would not let go. She followed him to Afghanistan, determined to uncover the secrets of the Afghan guerrillas.
She was supposed to infiltrate the Afghan guerrilla team, grasp their activity patterns and then contact the Soviet troops. However, this shipment of weapons prompted her to take action ahead of schedule. The English labels on those boxes were recognizable to her - they contained advanced portable missiles from the Americans, and what's more, an American named James was coming to train the guerrillas in using them. She finally decided to take action ahead of schedule and seize these weapons!
Aisha has left, representing that her identity will no longer be doubted, she is the Soviet swallow spy who uses her body to seduce people!
Muhammad made a gesture to James. Now Aisha has gone and will soon bring the Soviets, so we must make arrangements at once.
"Quickly, according to the original plan, prepare for battle." Muhamed shouted.
All the guerrillas turned over and ran quickly outside.
A qualified guerrilla fighter also has a very strong perception of the outside environment, and when Aisha walked around them, they had already discovered her.
Let's get ready! Aisha will bring over the Soviets, and our mission is to annihilate these Soviets!
Half an hour later.
The sound of rustling came from underfoot, fully armed Soviet soldiers, holding their own weapons, slowly moved towards the direction of the cave, their shoulders with arm badges, carrying special signs of SP, this is a special mountain warfare unit set up by the Soviet Union specifically for the Afghan battlefield.
SP special forces, often participate in combat in the form of a small team, with 22 people per team, 3 PKM machine guns, 2 SVD sniper rifles and 4 RPK-74 machine guns, the rest are equipped with AK-74 assault rifles.
The soldier in the foreground is holding a PKM machine gun, a general-purpose machine gun that was developed from the AK-47 and produced and used extensively during the Cold War. It was the most common light machine gun of the Soviet Army.
His footsteps were very steady, step by step moving forward, getting closer and closer to the cave, those donkeys were standing all over the place outside the cave, still snoring.
Everything is normal, the guerrilla squad is still sleeping inside! He raised his arm and made a gesture.
Those holding machine guns quickly dispersed, their muzzles pointing at the cave entrance. Their dense firepower would thoroughly seal off the entrance, and no one could escape.
The remaining soldiers carrying AK-74 rifles continued to move forward, those weapons were in the cave, now what they needed to do was to wipe out the guerrillas inside the cave and then seize those weapons!
This is a simple task, ambushing a guerrilla team is easy as pie.
The Soviet soldier at the forefront had his combat boots already trampling on the entrance of the cave, and when his foot stepped onto the ground at the entrance, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
"Anti-infantry mine!" The Soviet soldier shouted loudly: "Fall back!"
He can't lift his foot, when he lifts his foot, the jumping mine under his foot will pop up, jump into the air, and then explode in the air. The people around him will be hit by the landmine, causing a large area of injury.
So he had to speak out, he had to remind the people around him, to prevent them from stepping on the landmine as well. Those damned guerrillas actually laid landmines at the entrance of the cave!
This is a trap, and he had already thought of this when he stepped on the landmine.
At the sound of his shout, the people around him immediately retreated to one side, and this soldier quickly removed his helmet, followed by loosening his feet.
In the movie, many shots were stepped on landmines and did not trigger. This is just a fantasy of the author. Modern landmines will detonate as soon as they are stepped on, simultaneously igniting the propellant and connecting to the main charge through a delay fuse. Even if someone can manage to suppress the propellant and prevent the mine from launching into the air, it's almost impossible for anyone to do so. And even if that were possible, after 1.5 seconds, the delay fuse would still detonate the main charge, causing the landmine to explode underfoot. The only difference between this scenario and not stepping on it at all is that it wouldn't explode more than a meter in the air.
Step on a landmine, two results, either maimed or blown to death.
The soldier's reaction was also very quick, he took off his helmet, loosened his feet, and the mine under his foot immediately jumped up under the action of the propellant.
That helmet, too, arrived just in time to cover the bouncing mine. Then Soviet soldiers with great willpower stepped on the helmet again with that unlucky big foot.
The helmet fell to the ground, completely covering the jumping thunder inside. His feet were tightly trampling on the helmet, and then there was a loud "boom".
A strong shockwave hit his feet, and he didn't dare move his big feet at all, tightly stepping on the helmet, inside which were shrapnel fragments.
A sharp pain shot through his ankle, and the bones inside were probably shattered.
On the opposite hillside, under the moonlight, Muhammad watched the Soviet soldier's feat and couldn't help but admire him in his heart, "Damn, this is also possible?"
This guy's legs weren't blown off, completely intact, look at him jumping and running to the side, at most his toes were injured. What kind of helmet is that? Not even an anti-tank mine could blow it open?
"Boom!" With the explosion, those donkeys, awakened from their sleep, were frightened and immediately began to scatter and run away.
A Soviet soldier hid behind a stone, not yet showing his head, when suddenly a crisp sound came from the back, and a donkey's hoof heavily trampled on his body, breaking his ribs.
He gritted his teeth and made the most regrettable move of his life, pulling the trigger and shooting the donkey above him.
"Bang, bang, bang." With the sound of gunfire, the donkey's body slumped to one side and heavily pressed down on the Soviet soldier below. A massive force was transmitted to the Soviet soldier's back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out as he fainted.
"Cease fire!" the Soviet commander shouted. Now, this is really too weird, until now, there has been no sound of gunfire from the cave, where are the Afghan guerrillas?
He shouted while looking around in all directions, this cave is located in the middle of the mountain slope, the opposite peak is several dozen meters higher than here, overlooking from above, and this place is completely exposed to the view of the opposite side, as long as there are two machine guns, it can be completely shot dead here.
Afghan guerrillas must be hiding on the other side! This is an ambush! That damned swallow, how could her information be so unreliable? She's doomed this whole squad!
"Machine gunner, quick, turn the muzzle! Others, prepare to retreat!" The commander shouted when he judged that the guerrillas were hiding on the opposite mountain top and their side was completely exposed under the gun. At this time, they faced the cave entrance, with their backs all exposed on the opposite mountain top.
"Bang." At this moment, a bullet with a whistling sound flew over from the top of the mountain in front.
