81: The world is shocked: Dragon Country shatters the Russian Bear’s military dominance myth!

On the highway connecting Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to Kandahar, a core city in the south.

The Fuzzy Bear Empire's 356th Transport Company, led by Captain Sergey, was speeding down the highway at night.

The entire transport company consisted of 20 medium trucks, 10 heavy trucks, and 6 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles responsible for escort.

The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle was equipped with a 73mm smoothbore cannon and "Baby" anti-tank missiles, and its 33mm armor could defend against direct hits from 20mm autocannons.

Company Commander Captain Sergey was riding in one of the infantry fighting vehicles, excitedly recounting the war to his soldiers:

"In eight days, our T-72 tanks crushed all resistance! The Afghan government forces didn't even have time to blow up the bridges!"

"We have once again proven to the world the Fuzzy Bear Empire's strength as the world's number one military power!"

"Look, this is the 'Medal for Bravery' awarded to me by the army group. I won honor for the Fuzzy Bear on the battlefield! This is the proudest moment of my life!"

Captain Sergey took out the medal from his pocket and handed it to everyone to view in turn.

The soldiers sharing the infantry fighting vehicle carefully observed and touched the medal, all showing expressions of immense envy.

A few days ago, when the war first broke out, their 356th Transport Company encountered an ambush by Afghan government forces while transporting supplies to the front line.

Their company commander, Captain Sergey, personally drove a BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle to engage the ambushing enemy, even fighting one against two, using "Baby" anti-tank missiles to destroy two enemy tanks and safely ensure the transport of weapons and supplies.

He was therefore awarded the "Medal for Bravery" by the army group and featured in Pravda!

Captain Sergey's heroic deeds were being spread in many places across the Fuzzy Bear Empire!

Since then, the soldiers of the 356th Transport Company had been eagerly anticipating another encounter with enemy and insurgent attacks.

But unfortunately, the strength of their world's number one military power was too great; they occupied all of Afghanistan in just eight days.

This meant their transport company soldiers had no opportunity to achieve meritorious service!

"Wherever our tanks go, that is the territory of the Fuzzy Bear Empire!"

"Our powerful tanks and armor are like heavenly soldiers descending; resistance from any country is meaningless!"

Company Commander Captain Sergey took back his "Medal for Bravery" and put it in his pocket, then said to everyone.

However, just as he had carefully put away the medal, an extremely violent explosion suddenly came from ahead!

Immediately after, everyone in the infantry fighting vehicle was thrown forward uncontrollably due to the violent braking!

"Enemy attack!"

"The lead vehicle was destroyed on the road; we almost crashed into it!"

Sergeant Alexei, the vehicle commander driving the infantry fighting vehicle, took a deep breath and said to everyone.

"Enemy attack?"

Upon hearing this news, Captain Sergey not only showed no panic, but his face even revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

"I seem to see an even higher-grade 'Order of the Red Star' beckoning to me!"

He said loudly.

And encouraged by him, all the soldiers inside the infantry fighting vehicle became extremely excited.

Their BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle had armor thickness of 33mm, so it was not afraid of ordinary heavy machine gun and autocannon fire.

Moreover, the presence of a 73mm smoothbore cannon with a range of 1300 meters and anti-tank missiles with a range of 1 kilometer gave them the ability to fight against heavy armored vehicles and tanks!

Could Afghan militia forces actually dare to attack them?

"The 356th Transport Company immediately halts its advance; the entire company prepares for battle!"

"Infantry fighting vehicles, find the enemy and destroy them!"

Captain Sergey picked up the communication device and immediately gave orders.

And in the process, he pushed the gunner in the infantry fighting vehicle aside and personally observed and controlled the "Baby" anti-tank missile.

"Sergeant Alexei, find the enemy; we're going out again!"

Sergey said in a deep voice.

The anti-tank missile equipped on the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle required manual guidance; he had to find the target, continuously observe it, and adjust the missile's trajectory to ensure a hit.

However, just as Company Commander Captain Sergey was observing the enemy situation.

Suddenly, on the hillside to the right of the highway, a faint red light flashed and disappeared. This was clearly the aiming and locking signal of an anti-tank missile!

"Oh no!"

Captain Sergey had just realized the situation was bad when a missile whizzed out from afar, its tail flame cutting through the night sky!

Accompanied by the urgent "whistling" engine sound of the anti-tank missile, the missile flew straight towards the rearmost BMP-1 fighting vehicle!

Before the rear infantry fighting vehicle could react, the anti-tank missile swooped down at a nearly vertical angle, hitting the vehicle's vulnerable top armor.

The deafening roar of the explosion once again tore through the night's silence; a scorching metal jet instantly penetrated the 33mm steel plate, and the vehicle's interior became a sea of fire.

The ammunition rack was detonated, a secondary explosion blew off the turret, and the wreckage, engulfed in flames, crashed onto the highway, blocking the convoy's rear escape route.

"Two kilometers away!"

"The enemy's ambush position on the hillside is at least two kilometers away!"

Sergeant Alexei, the vehicle commander, exclaimed loudly. Based on his experience, the launch point of the incoming anti-tank missile was at least two kilometers away.

At this distance, neither the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle's "Baby" anti-tank missile nor its 73mm smoothbore cannon could reach the enemy!

"What kind of weapon is this?"

"Who is attacking us?"

Captain Sergey's eyes were filled with terror, and a chill ran down his spine when he heard this distance.

His superiors had never reported that the Afghan government forces or any resistance group possessed anti-tank missiles with a range exceeding two kilometers.

And that was on top of a hill; how did the vehicles equipped with anti-tank missiles get up there?

Now, both the front and back roads were blocked by the exploded vehicles, and on both sides were hillsides; they had no way to retreat!

The 356th Transport Company, with nearly a hundred soldiers and over thirty vehicles, was completely surrounded!

"This is the 356th Transport Company; we have encountered an enemy ambush!"

"We need air support!"

Captain Sergey urgently reported to headquarters, his previous arrogance long gone.

Along this transport route, a Mi-24 "Hind" attack helicopter patrolled every hundred kilometers.

Now, Sergey only prayed that the ambushers had only two of those advanced anti-tank missiles, allowing them to hold out until the Mi-24 attack helicopter's air support arrived!

But just after he sent out the distress signal.

On the hillside to the right of the highway, several more eerie red lights flashed in quick succession!

"Get out!"

"We've been targeted and locked on by anti-tank missiles!"

Relying on his rich combat experience, Sergey directly opened the fighting vehicle's hatch cover and jumped into the ditch beside the highway.

Just as he found a rockfall on the hillside to use as cover, four "Red Arrow" anti-tank missiles whizzed in!

"Boom!"

"Boom..."

In the continuous explosions, the remaining four BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles were all destroyed!

Looking at the blazing inferno of explosions before him, Captain Sergey's face turned incredibly pale!

His dream of the "Order of the Red Star" had already vanished into thin air along with the infantry fighting vehicles!

Now his only thought was how to survive!

However, after losing the protection of the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, the transport company convoy was clearly facing an unequal war!

On the hillside, two Lynx vehicles, mounted with 12.7mm vehicle-mounted machine guns, spewed fire as they charged down.

This type of vehicle-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun weighed 34 kilograms, used a long-stroke gas-operated automatic firing method, and had a theoretical rate of fire of over 500 rounds per minute.

Facing such terrifying firepower suppression, the soldiers of the Fuzzy Bear's 356th Transport Company had nowhere to escape.

Moreover, in addition to this, individual thermobaric grenades continuously fell onto the highway, causing chain explosions of cars and supplies!

About five minutes later, the explosions and gunfire completely ceased.

Abdul, the leader of the Afghan militia resistance forces, rode in a Lynx to inspect the battlefield situation.

This time, he personally led 20 people to participate in this ambush.

He never expected that at the cost of zero casualties, they would destroy six BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 30 transport trucks, and a large amount of transport supplies of the Fuzzy Bear Empire!

In addition, they killed all 97 members of the 356th Transport Company!

"Leave six people with 'Flying Crossbow' man-portable air-defense missiles to continue the ambush and see if any airborne helicopters come to support!"

"The rest of you immediately transfer by vehicle into the villages and mountains, resupply, and then go to the next location to continue the ambush!"

Said Abdul, the leader of the Afghan resistance forces.

And this attack, personally commanded by him, was clearly just the beginning.

On major transportation arteries and strategic highways across the country, the Fuzzy Bear Empire transported hundreds and thousands of tons of supplies to major cities daily.

Convoys traveled continuously day and night on every highway.

And on this night, all these convoys, without exception, were attacked by pro-Dragon Kingdom Afghan resistance guerrilla teams!

In addition, in medium and large cities in Afghanistan, important facilities of the Fuzzy Bear Empire such as command posts, radar stations, and communication hubs were almost all attacked without exception.

And after these guerrilla teams completed their attacks, they would get into their Mengshi or Lynx vehicles and hit and run!

Quickly relocating to villages and mountains!

In one night, the Fuzzy Bear Empire in Afghanistan suffered a total of 931 attacks by resistance guerrilla teams!

This night, the entire Afghanistan was in utter chaos!

...July 15th.

This was a brand new day.

But on this day, global news media and newspapers were all reporting the same thing:

【Afghan militia resistance forces launched a strategic counterattack against the Fuzzy Bear Empire's invasion on the evening of July 14th!】

"In one night, they destroyed 30 T-62 tanks, 8 T-72 tanks, 157 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 357 BTR-60 wheeled armored vehicles, 11 Mi-24 'Hind' attack helicopters, and 17 Mi-8 'Hip' transport helicopters of the Fuzzy Bear Empire!"

"A total of nearly 5,000 casualties were inflicted on the Fuzzy Bear Empire's army!"

"In addition, 3 radar stations, 7 communication hubs, and 2 command posts were destroyed!"

"As for transport trucks, there were over a thousand!"

When the casualty figures of the Fuzzy Bear Empire's invading forces in Afghanistan appeared in newspapers and media, the entire world erupted!

On this day, when the White House, 10 Downing Street, the Élysée Palace, and other political centers of Western countries received intelligence briefings, they were all shocked!

Regarding the attacks on Fuzzy Bear forces in Afghanistan on the night of July 14th, they of course knew which country's masterpiece it was!

Because this was a strategic counterattack operation against the Fuzzy Bear Empire that they, the Western countries, jointly urged the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of Defense to carry out!

But at this moment, facing this battle report!

The Western countries were still dumbfounded!

The Fuzzy Bear Empire occupied all medium and large cities in Afghanistan in 8 days, with a total of fewer than 3,000 casualties!

And now, the Dragon Kingdom, through a proxy war, had shattered the myth of the Fuzzy Bear Empire's global military supremacy in a single night!

Dragon Kingdom!

This is too fierce!
