Rogue Aventure

Now that he has achieved his goal, Yang Luo will not ask any more about terrorists, lest the other party suspect him.Instead, he slowly turned around, looked at the river in front of him, and said, "Old man, this is the famous Panjshir River." Then he sighed, "The water in this river is so clear. Because of the economic development of our country, the pollution is very serious. Such clear rivers are rare.”

The old man laughed loudly and proudly. If you hadn't seen the old man's appearance, it would be hard for you to imagine that such a loud laughter came from an old man in his 60s.

"The Panjshir River is the best water source in Afghanistan." He pointed to the dams on both sides and the farmland in the distance, "Speaking of this river, I really appreciate your selfless help from China. In the 70s and [-]s, When I was a teenager, the Afghan people built dams and canals on the Panjshir River with the help of Chinese engineers and technicians, and completed the water conservancy irrigation project. This is a very successful project, which has moistened about [-] hectares of land Among them, nearly [-] hectares were originally wasteland with camel thorns, which were transformed into farmland or vineyards, but..."

The old man's expression darkened when he said this, "It's just that years of wars have left many surrounding farmlands barren, but the canals are still in good condition."

Yang Luo looked up at the lower reaches of the Panjshir River. The huge cement slabs were neatly arranged, and the river flowed slowly along the channel.There are patches of houses there, but they have all become ruins.

"What's that place?" Yang Luo asked, pointing to the ruins downstream.

The old man looked over and said: "That is a vineyard. When the grapes were ripe, our town was very lively, and vendors from all over the country came here to buy. Because the water quality here is good, the grapes are sweet and delicious. Only now The vineyards are full of land mines, and no one dares to step in. Every year, the vines fend for themselves, and due to the lack of support, only a thick rhizome is left.”

Yang Luo said with emotion: "The dry wells surrounded by ruins have always been others."

The old man looked at Yang Luo suspiciously: "What did you say?"

Yang Luo smiled: "It's nothing, old man, we are leaving, see you later!"

The old man asked, "Where are you going?"

Yang Luo said, "We are going to Badakhshan Province!"

The old man nodded: "There are landmines everywhere, don't run around. Because what is really scary in this place is not guns, but all kinds of powerful landmines, and roadside bombs that are hard to guard against."

"Thank you!" Yang Luo thanked the old man, then said goodbye to the old man, walked back to the car and shouted, "Get in the car, let's go!"

The lunatic drove the car and was the first to pass the bridge paved with iron plates. Li Tao and the others followed behind and passed smoothly.After crossing the river, you really enter the Panjshir Valley.With gentle shaking, the convoy drove on the narrow and broken road known as the Valley of Death.The terrain was getting higher and higher, Yang Luo looked at the multifunctional military watch, the altitude was 400 meters at this time, and it was completely dark now.

Yang Luo said: "Madman, find a place to eat and take a rest."

At this time, the road conditions became stable, and the car was not shaking so much. After a short time, a flat sandy beach appeared in front of the maniac. The lunatic stopped the car, and everyone opened the door and got out of the car. The surrounding area was wilderness, which seemed very empty.

It was very cold in the Panjshir Valley at night. Yang Luo wrapped his collar around his collar and said with a sigh, "Everyone, eat something and rest for a while before leaving."

Long Xin, Xu Hang and the others found field dry rations and shared them with everyone. Yang Luo took a bite of the dry rations, looked around, then looked up at a towering mountain peak shining brightly in the distance and said: "That mountain It must be the Hindu Kush.”

Everyone gathered around Yang Luo, looking at the snow-capped mountains that were close in front of them but far away in the sky, Li Tao said, "Yes, Maihesumuai Mountain arrived two days ago, but they can't enter the valley, they can only go to the southeast. Go up the mountain. And we go up the mountain in the northeast, much closer than them, so we should have enough time."

Yang Luo tapped his head and said softly: "We have never been here before, but looking at the signs on the map, the mountains in the southeast are relatively gentle, while in the northeast there is a nearly 400-meter-high ice cliff. If you want to go up, you can go up." It's not that easy."

"Do your best and obey the destiny!" Xu Hang threw away the package of field rations, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and took a sip from the water bottle, "Have you finished eating?" He said, looking at Ghost Fox, Blood Angel and Hongye San woman.

Hong Ye giggled, "I'm full!" Then she folded her arms and shivered, "Oh, this damn place is so cold." After saying that, she got into the car, followed by the Blood Angel.

Ghost Fox opened the water bottle and took a sip, then handed it to Yang Luo: "Drink some water, I'll get in the car first."

Yang Luo took it, watched the ghost fox get into the car, and said, "Let's go!"

The convoy was on the road again. Due to the increasingly difficult road conditions, the speed of the car could not be raised, and the driving speed was very slow.And the more such a road, the more energy the driver has to spend.Anyway, none of the people in the car can drive, and they change every two or three hours, so everyone can get enough rest time.

The car swayed and everyone fell asleep.I don't know how long it took before a ray of dawn appeared in the east.

"It's dawn!" Xu Hang, who was driving, yelled out of boredom. Yang Luo and the madman opened their eyes, stretched at the same time, and then looked out the window.The Hindu Kush Snow Mountain is already in sight, and there is a very large open space under the snow mountain, which is full of steel garbage.

At this time, the road conditions became narrower and narrower. The car drove on the gravel road for less than 10 minutes, and saw a 155mm gun collapsed on the side of the road. The muzzle was buried deep in the mud, but the left side of the road still stood There is a 10-meter-high iron watchtower, and the rust seems to indicate that this place was the first post of the Soviet Army many years ago.When the car turned on a small dirt slope, another huge overturned military oil tank appeared on the side of the road, which was obviously used by the Soviet army to transport oil.

Due to the poor self-defense capabilities of the tanker, it became the focus of the guerrilla attack, and the further you went, the more wreckage of the tanker and the wreckage of the artillery.After walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. After the car stopped, everyone got out of the car. In front of them was a huge field filled with wreckage of tanks.They were all Soviet t-62 and t-72 main battle tanks that were blown up and down.And right in front of their eyes, a huge oil tank was densely covered with bullet holes, and some of the tanks still had traces of burning.

Although the flames of war have gone away, in this scarred land, Yang Luo and the others seem to still be able to smell the thick smoke of gunpowder, hear the gunshots and cannons, and the tragic roar.

"How tragic the war here was back then!" Yang Luo had no experience in participating in large group battles, but as a soldier and a professional soldier who often went to the battlefield, they could imagine the brutality of the war.

Ivan silently boarded a T-72 tank. Except for the complete gun barrel, the interior had been blown to pieces.There are many wires at the rear of the tank where the engine was originally installed, and there are still cans hanging on it.

Ivan took off the can, his hands trembling a little. Such a situation is unimaginable for a soldier, especially a professional soldier.However, this also shows the large emotional fluctuations in his heart at this time.

"This was used as a warning against guerrilla sneak attacks at night when the Soviet army camped."

Yang Luo jumped onto a nearby T-62 tank whose turret was completely overturned, and then looked inside the tank. There were many machine gun bullet casings scattered inside, as if describing the last moment of the Soviet tank soldiers rushing over by the Afghan resistance forces. Still machine gunning... and more armored vehicles and military vehicles were beaten so badly they couldn't even be seen.

At this time, Ivan jumped onto another tank, and then wiped off the thick dust with his hands on the metal plate in front of the car, revealing the figures carved with a saber.

Ivan was stunned for a while looking at those numbers, and then let out a long breath, "This should be a hero tank, and these numbers are the numbers to destroy the enemy's firepower."

Yang Luo smiled: "Ivan, I didn't expect you to be a person who likes to be sad."

Ivan also smiled: "My uncle was killed here. In fact, I have always wanted to visit here, but I didn't have the chance. Now that I finally came here, it can be regarded as fulfilling my little wish."

Yang Luo jumped out of the tank, patted the rusty iron plate, raised a cloud of dust, then looked at a stone on the side of the road with a warning sign written on a minefield, and said with a smile: "There has always been a battlefield here. Maybe decades later, when the chaos in Afghanistan is pacified, this place will become a tourist attraction.”

Ivan pointed to a purple hill under the snow-capped mountain and said, "See that hill? The mausoleum of Masood, the former leader of the Northern Alliance known as the Lion of Panjshir, should be there.

Yang Luo looked over, the mausoleum was backed by the capped Hindu Kush snow mountain, surrounded by a clear river, the surrounding scenery was quiet and deep.

Yang Luo clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, everyone, don't watch it, fill your stomach quickly, and let's continue walking."

The Hindu Kush Mountains are about 5000 kilometers long.The average altitude is about 700 meters, and the highest peak, Tirichmir Peak, is about [-] meters above sea level. It is the watershed between the Indus River originating in the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Amu Darya River originating in the Pamirs.

After filling their stomachs with the fastest speed, everyone went on the road again. After walking for more than 500 meters, there was a fork in the road.One road leads directly to passes in other areas, and the other leads to the Hindu Kush Snow Mountain.Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the whole road is winding and hanging on the cliff, which makes people tremble with fear.

The lunatic turned the steering wheel, and the off-road vehicle drove onto the mountain road.The road is quite narrow, the car clings to the mountain, and the outer tire is less than one meter away from the cliff.

"Damn, what kind of road is this?" The lunatic cursed, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring at the front and inside, his body tensed.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Yang Luo tilted his head and looked outside: "It would be nice to have a road. I guess, there is a military depot halfway up the mountain. It should be the road used by the Soviet army to transport supplies. Otherwise, there is no need to drive here. One way."

Time passed bit by bit, the convoy was driving slowly on the steep winding mountain road, after more than three hours, the sun had risen so high, but they could feel the temperature drop in the car.And the place where the mountain body protrudes has also appeared covered with white snow.

Yang Luo looked at the multifunctional military watch. The altitude had reached more than 400 meters. After driving for more than half an hour, the mountain was covered with snow everywhere. When he got here, the road was cut off and the car could no longer drive up.
